Chapter 3399 Decline

"The Cavalry Army is here!"

"The Cavalry Army is here again!"

Perhaps this sentence will become the most common buzzword for Cao Jun this year.

Just like "The Wolf is Coming", it may cause a large-scale panic at the beginning, but later it becomes "It's Coming, Come on, What's the call?"

The emergence of Li Li and Sima Yi greatly accelerated the evolution of this process.

Cao Cao knew that Cao's soldiers would be tired like this, but he could not find a good way to solve this problem for a while.

Because he could not take the initiative to attack, he could only wait passively...

He repeatedly emphasized that this was a plan for the exhausted army, but most of the non-commissioned officers in the military academy were obeyed. On the surface, they obeyed the orders, but in fact they really didn't take it seriously.

The plan of the tired army is the open plot on the surface.

Although Lao Cao still had less than a thousand cavalry and cavalry generals, he could not release the cavalry casually. The reason was very simple, because cavalry had no chance of winning in field battles. There was insufficient morale and there were problems with the subordinates. Qian Zhao was a good cavalry general, but he was not a peerless general. He could not play a mainstay role alone, and could not change the situation with his own strength.

what to do?

It's very difficult to deal with.

These powerful Hussar cavalrymen are hard to fight and difficult to catch, but letting them ignore them will lead to the increasingly exhausted soldiers of the Cao army.

When the sun rose in the early morning, the cavalry of the Hussars blew the trumpet to get up before they arrived at the camp.

When I was eating breakfast in the morning, the Hussar Cavalry came again, bringing warm greetings - two or three big yellow crossbow grenades were fired, and no matter what they were blown up, they were considered as adding some ingredients to Cao's army.

When the sun was hanging in the sky at noon, the cavalry army came again. This time they would tentatively destroy some fortifications or checkpoints outside the Zhongtiaoshan Camp.

It's really tentative, because as soon as the Cao army moves, they will roar and run far away. Even if the Cao army uses crossbows and catapults, they will basically not hit. Occasionally, a very small number of Hussar cavalry are hit. As long as they are not directly hit on the front, they are likely to die, but the injuries are only different.

By the afternoon, the cavalry had more tricks...

They would form groups outside the camp to curse, from Cao Cao to Xiahou Dun, and then Cao Hong, cursing in different ways. When the loud-sounding soldiers shouted hoarsely, some soldiers would start singing Shandong tunes, and touched Cao Zilian's chest and other things...

Cao Hong was so angry that he shivered.

Not only that, they will also be far away, and set up tables where some Cao troops cannot fight, but can see them, and then start lighting fires and barbecue to drink wine!

When it was night, it should have stopped, but every hour or an hour and a half, the Cavalry Army lit the grenades, and when the bombing sounded, they shouted the slogan of charge and attack. Even if the Cao army soldiers knew that the Cavalry Cavalry were bluffing again, they still had to get up and guard for a while.

As a result, the soldiers of Cao's army, especially those at the forefront of Zhongtiaoshan Camp, were all listless...

Cao Cao was watching all the time. At dusk of this day, he suddenly called Cao Hong and Qian Zhao.

"Tonight, there is an 80% chance that the thief army will come to test the attack!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his small eyes gathered, and his twinkle shining.

『Ah?』 Cao Hong asked in confusion, 『Why is the lord so sure?』

In the past two or three days, Li Li and Sima Yi have taken turns to fight, leading a team of people to cause trouble, and a large group of people are in the back. Cao's army is not going to fight, nor is it going to fight, and it is so uncomfortable that it is so uncomfortable. Now, when Cao Cao said that the Cavalry Army may attack tonight, Cao Hong couldn't help but feel energetic!

"In the past two days, the cavalry army seems to be disturbing, but in fact... Cao Cao sneered, "Now the soldiers outside the camp are all exhausted, hum... Therefore, most of the cavalry will come to attack tonight!"

...

...

Did the Cavalry Army have an unsuccessful night attack?

It seems to be there, and it seems to be there.

Sima Yi rubbed his chin. He had gradually had some beards, but not much, just like his combat experience. But even so, Sima Yi still felt abnormal almost instinctively, and he attached great importance to this feeling of self.

Instinct may be a bit mysterious, but in fact it should be the product of the double overlap of experience and wisdom.

"You just feel wrong?"

Li Li frowned, more or less dissatisfied.

The plan was proposed by Sima Yi, and the execution was also implemented by Sima Yi and him. Now it is time to put on the brakes?

My pants are...

Oh, there were no pants in the Han Dynasty, so it would be fine.

Well, what is wrong with you, Sima Yi, who doesn’t wear pants?

Sima Yi also thought about it and said slowly: "Old thief Cao has been through the battlefield for a long time. How could he not know my tired soldiers' strategy?"

Li Li thought about it and nodded.

Even though Li Li was dissatisfied, he had a better advantage, which was that he could listen.

Seeing that Li Li did not interrupt or showed any impatience, Sima Yi continued to say, "So we should think more about it. This old thief knew that we were tired, but he did not replace and rotate the Cao army soldiers outside the camp, just to make us see that these soldiers were exhausted..."

In later generations, there was a so-called three-ring theory, although uncertainty was true, but it also explained some problems. That is, there was always adaptability to survival in the process of human evolution.

A person goes from being energetic and full of endurance to exhaustion and low endurance, and has a certain degree of volatility, but it cannot be quantified or simply data-based. After all, different values ​​and different personalities lead to some people entering a hysterical state when their energy and endurance are low, while others will still spend it calmly until their physical strength recovers.

The same is true for Cao's soldiers. Some people will be disturbed by Sima Yi and Li Li and almost collapsed, but it cannot be denied that some people will still think calmly and adapt as much as possible.

Therefore, if we say that ordinary soldiers and generals of Cao's army may be disturbed by exhausted soldiers such as Sima Yi and Li Li, their energy and endurance will decrease and they will enter an irrational state, but the same is true for Cao Cao...

That would be a bit underestimating the people of the world.

Sima Yi looked at Li Li and secretly observed Li Li's expression.

Sima Yi's Sima family, like Fei Qian's Fei family, is a surname with relatively small numbers and a family is not prosperous. Therefore, Sima Yi is also subconsciously expanding his connections, but he is not hungry and eating.

This kind of connection is not built in one or two days, nor is it once or twice, but during the whole process, Sima Yi will deliberately set some "hidden thresholds" to distinguish and screen personnel.

Sima Yi was like this to Li Li.

If Li Li shouted and expressed dissatisfaction, then Sima Yi would probably follow Li Li first and then stop saying anything, because Li Li does have more than half of the command power of the army, and he could choose not to listen to Sima Yi. But if Li Li was willing to listen like Li Li now, Sima Yi would tell the truth.

『So, now…』 Li Li asked, 『You mean... you need to make some adjustments?』

Sima Yi nodded, "It's true. Why not do this and this..."

...

...

It's night.

The moon is not dark, but the wind is high.

The cold wind on the autumn night coming from the north whistles past the soil plate. Even if the soil plate makes a whimpering protest in the cold wind, the cold wind on the autumn night still mercilessly snatches everything on the bare soil plate. It is a big trend that even if the ground is three feet away, it cannot leave a slight oil and water.

The less there is, the more exploitation and robbery it will be.

Even if the earth plate, which had no ability to resist, did not wait for help, but ushered in a new round of trampling.

The horse hooves of the cavalry rushed down from the earthen plateau, as if they were wind and thunder, with a overwhelming momentum, and rushed towards the flaws of the Cao army camp that had been observed before.

Sure enough, the flaw is the flaw that is placed there.

The cavalry roared, without much effort, and broke through the defenses outside the Cao army's camp and began to advance to the second defense line of Cao army. The Zhongtiao Mountain Camp of Cao army had three defense lines along the mountain height, and the outermost circle was naturally the largest and most fragile.

In this line of defense, when the Cao army soldiers saw the Hussar cavalry rushed over, they didn't need the Cao army general to order the transfer. They had already taken the initiative to "change" the combat positions...

As soon as the two sides contacted, the Cao army soldiers who broke through a defensive line near the breakthrough entrance ran away without saying a word. Thinking about it, it was obviously unrealistic for the Cao army soldiers who had almost dropped their energy and endurance to fight against the powerful Hussar Cavalry.

With the attack of the Cavalry, the war drums in the Cao army camp were ringing rapidly and intensively.

『Boom! Boom!』

A huge explosion broke out on the battlefield, mixed with the sound of Cao's army's war drums.

This is the second line of defense of Cao's army.

For a moment, the sound of war drums, trumpets, the shouts of soldiers, and the galloping sound of war horses soared into the sky.

『Swish swish...』

Thousands of arrows roared and rose into the air, shooting towards the Hussar Cavalry.

『Be careful of the arrows!』

Li Li shouted loudly, raised his shield to defend himself, and also covered his face for the war horse.

The rain of arrows roared and fell, and Li Li was shocked.

He knew Sima Yi was right!

This Cao army was prepared for a long time!

This is not difficult to judge, as long as you have a calm mind.

In actual combat, the archer's arrows cannot have automatic tracking function. As long as they are shot, they will definitely hit, especially in the dark. If Cao's army is an archer who was temporarily summoned, the arrows shot will be much sparse, and it may even be that the first few rounds are shot empty, and the hit rate will be increased only after modifying the ruler.

Now, Cao's army almost hit a lot of hits in the first round of arrow rain!

Although this long-distance shooting often causes damage caused by the arrow metal falling, it does not mean that the armor must be completely immune!

As the arrow fell, muffled groans came around, mixed with the neighing of the injured horse.

『Retreat! Scattered retreat!』

Li Li immediately ordered without any hesitation.
