This exercise, if it continues to develop, should be the defeat of the Red Army. The Blues won the victory, because the Blues completely surrounded the Red Army, and the final situation was also a great loss of vitality for the Blues, but the main force of the opponent was defeated. This was also the result of a defeat for the Red Army.

However, in this operation of the Red Army, there are also many remarkable points worth noting, first of all, the overall fighting will of the Red Turban Army is very high, especially the emergence of a group of people who dare to die to launch a decisive charge. This is something that has never happened before. Of course, this kind of thing also comes at a great cost, for example, they spend too many troops. Losing too many troops and valuing the lives of soldiers too lightly is not worth advocating.

The second is that the Ma Heng troops are stubborn in fighting and have fully learned to use the reserves, and they rush out the reserves at critical moments, which is a killer weapon for the enemy, and if it is used well, it may break through the opponent's defense line at once. It is possible to achieve a breakthrough, after all, it is not very easy to stabilize the position in ancient times.

Finally, Xiaodouzi has a certain strategic awareness, such as using constant retreat, dividing and disintegrating the opponent, and constantly widening the opponent's combat distance through the contraction of the combat distance, so as to find the possibility of annihilating the enemy in the movement. That's a good example.

However, there are many downsides. Shangwu needs to pay attention to it, that is, the gap between them and the combat effectiveness of the official army still exists, the official army is still in a numerical advantage, and at the same time, Huangfu Song is a very particular opponent, the possibility of him making mistakes is very low, and the overall situation is in a strategic advantage. The martial Red Turban Army is still in an absolutely disadvantageous state.

In Jizhou, in order to avoid encountering the same situation, Zhu Jun chose to take a detour instead of choosing the nearest official road of Handan Julu to advance, although this would prolong the arrival time of the army, but it could avoid a series of operations in the guerrilla area, which was a headache. Zhu Jun had already been dispatched to strengthen the collection of intelligence in this regard, and after comprehensive consideration, he decided to take a detour.

Inside the New Army Camp in the West Garden.

"Why did the army take a detour?" Yuan Shao said dissatisfiedly. Soon after the establishment of the Xiyuan New Army, they immediately set out for the battle, and Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was very anxious. Because they have to fight this battle.

"At the beginning, there was a red turban thief army ahead, these thieves were good at guerrilla warfare, along the way, all of them were ambushes, and all kinds of firearms were endless. Cao Cao persuaded on the side.

"Why did Mende become so careful?" Yuan Shao said dissatisfiedly. It seems that the detour itself is a huge mistake.

"We all have important things to do, so be careful." Cao Cao said worriedly. Yuan Shao looked down on the Red Turban Army. In his opinion, it was just a group of grass bandits, and as long as the army was together, it would be wiped out immediately. And he didn't pay much attention to the situation reported by the scout, or rather, he didn't pay much attention to such a situation in more cases, and in such a situation, many things were taken for granted as a rough man.

Cao Cao didn't see it that way, he carefully analyzed any previous reports about the Red Turban Army. He believes that the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army may far exceed that of the Yellow Turban Army, and the most terrifying thing is that they have also secretly mastered the manufacture and application of some first-class weapons. It's a pity that Yuan Shao is too arrogant. He couldn't see the truth of the matter at all. Cao Cao naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it. He has more important things to do, research**.

Huangfu Song seized a **, which was originally planned to be transported to Luoyang for research. But Zhu Jun asked for it, because he was worried that the next thing would make their situation even worse, and it might be of great benefit to them to get through ** as soon as possible. Cao Cao was directly responsible for this matter. He cautiously came to a hollow, surrounded by soldiers, and three craftsmen trembling around a large wooden barrel for bathing.

Inside the large wooden barrels, anyway a lot of water. What is soaked in the water is the ** they seized, and there is only one such thing, so it must be studied carefully. At the same time, the craftsmen also know that if they are not careful, they will be blown to pieces, not only for some rewards, but also for their own lives, and they carefully disassemble ** in the water. Be careful every step of the way.

Why is it disassembled in water**, this is because according to the five elements, they believe that this thing comes from the properties of fire. Despite the presence of metal on the surface, they believe that the object must have stabilized some property between fire and metal in some other way, and in fact, it is still a property of fire. The five elements of yin and yang still have a great influence on them.

In order to prevent this thing from suddenly breaking out and hurting people, they thought of using water to calm the **, and in this regard, they also pasted a lot of spirit runes around the bucket. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't find the Taoist priest all of a sudden, maybe they would still have a few Taoist priests next to them to protect the Dharma. This thing comes from the heavens, and they naturally be careful.

Cao Cao watched from afar, he was also afraid. It was the first time he had seen anything like it. If he hadn't been a lieutenant, he might have really walked into it and checked it out. It's a pity that he can't do that.

The craftsmen carefully dismantled it in the water**, they first looked for the gap, and after searching for half a day, they decided to find it quickly. They started directly from the initiating device. **The manufacturing process is still more complicated, first of all, the casting shell, the shell is made of two hemispherical casting, the interface is connected by screws, and the screws are very large. Because their craftsmanship level can't be smaller yet.

At the connection position of the initiating device and **. The craftsmen of the Lijiazhuang Arsenal innovatively used the screw mouth. The screw mouth was originally hand-carved, which led to a very uneven excuse, and was generally made larger, triggering the device to be manufactured separately. Connect. When using, you must use hemp wire winding to connect it, otherwise, it will not be successfully connected at all. This is one of them.

The initiation device is actually the ignition device of the wooden handle hand**, the early use of a device similar to a lighter, after many experiments, they found that the device is extremely unstable, sometimes, multiple triggers may not be able to trigger **. Therefore, it can only take the extremely stable wooden handle hand ** to pull the fire.

It can be said that a small ** is made after many studies by craftsmen in Lijiazhuang.

And the craftsmen who studied them had to come up with all kinds of ways to come up with them little by little, in fact, ** has long been unable to play a role. Shangwu lacked the necessary oil, and in order to protect it from moisture, it was necessary to use it, but the problem was that this kind of thing, in the base areas, as well as in the guerrilla areas, was still a strategic material. Usually people are reluctant to use a little oil in order to eat a little, let alone use it to make oil paper. If needed, Shang Wu felt that he should find such a thing as oil, although it was impossible to smelt high-quality gasoline and diesel on a large scale, but asphalt could still be obtained, and if asphalt was used, the sealing device would not have to worry about it. When combined internally, apply a large amount of asphalt to achieve a good sealing effect, and the waterproofness is still very good. It's a pity that these things are hard to find. Shang Wu had no choice but to do so.

According to historical data, the Carthaginians used bitumen as a sealing material when they were seafaring. And Shang Wu also needs such a material. It's a pity that I can only wait and look for it.

**Still disassembling carefully. The top initiating device has been carefully dismantled, and the craftsmen have rushed to report it. At the same time, it is also to stabilize their minds, because they are so nervous.

"General, look." A craftsman carefully handed over the initiation device to Cao Cao, disassembled it, and found that it was a copper pipe and a glass ball. It's a precious thing.

"I didn't expect it to be so expensive." Cao Cao looked at the things in his hand and said.

Indeed, this thing is too expensive for Cao Cao. A lot of things, they simply can't afford to make. Here's why.

"General, the most important thing is that the wonderful thing is here." A craftsman carefully pointed out the existence of the screw mouth, and it was then that Cao Cao noticed the screw mouth. Cao Cao was a little puzzled, and the craftsman immediately compared. Only then did Cao Cao understand what was going on. That's how this thing came to be. This greatly exceeded Cao Cao's imagination. Although he didn't know why he did it, he knew that if he did it, their weapons would be very tightly made. This is intentional, which shows a problem, their craftsmen will be very high, which makes Cao Cao feel very afraid. If this is really done, the situation will be very unfavorable to the new army of the West Garden.

Precision weapons, although it is not possible to know whether the other party can manufacture them on a large scale, after all, there is only one **, but once the other party popularizes the production on a large scale, the situation will be very terrifying. Cao Cao nodded, and went to report to Zhu Jun with such a thing.

And Yuan Shao just watched from afar, shaking his head disdainfully, he thought that studying such things was just a waste of extra energy. They still have a lot to do, and Yuan Shao doesn't think that such a weapon can change this situation. All they need to solve is to just crush each other.
