Chapter 370: It's just that pride is destroyed

Lu Bu left the school with Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, and thousands of air forces were still standing there straight, not daring to move.

An air captain jumped on the high platform and shouted to them: "Chu Hou has an order, no one is allowed to leave half a step, they should reflect here, when they figure it out, when they can return to the barracks." ”

The captain conveyed Lu Bu's order, and the air force officers and soldiers stood with very ugly faces one by one, not to mention moving, even if they gasped for breath, they didn't dare.

From what Lu Bu said just now, every air force officer could feel his anger.

Since the Air Force was there, Lu Bu had a lot of expectations for them.

It's a pity that the air force didn't fight and suffered a big loss in Cao Cao's second crusade against Dangshan.

In that battle, Zhao Yun was surrounded, and Lu Bu struggled to fight into Cao's army and took him out.

In fact, the air force did not suffer a lot of losses, but it was just like Lu Bu said that they were accustomed to condescending to attack the enemy in mid-air, so that the enemy army could not touch them at all, and suddenly suffered a small setback, which was indeed unacceptable for the air force officers and men.

The soldiers stood on the school grounds, and none of them left.

Lu Bu took Zhao Yun and Sun Ce to Zhao Yun's barracks.

Zhao Yun has a house in Xuzhou City, and he lives in relatively few barracks in the military camp, but he will come here to make some preparations before going on the expedition.

Although there are few accommodations, the facilities in the barracks are very complete.

Walking into the barracks, Lu Bu came directly to the sand table, while Zhao Yun and Sun Ce followed behind him.

"You all heard me say at the court meeting, and the army will rush directly from Dangshan to Xudu." Lu Bu pointed to the area of Dangshan marked on the sand table: "The terrain of this road is complicated, which is more favorable for Cao Cao. Especially in several of these mountains, Lu Bu doesn't have to do anything else, as long as the army is deployed here, it will be difficult for our army to move an inch. If you want to make a breakthrough, you still have to use the Air Force. ”

Looking at Zhao Yun, Lu Bu asked, "If you want to lead the air force to raid from behind, how sure are you that the Cao army's defense line will be chaotic?" ”

"As long as we can get behind the enemy's back, I'm 100% sure." Zhao Yun said: "I'm afraid that we won't have a chance to break through there at all." The ordnance Cao Jun used last time happened to restrain our ......"

"Restraint?" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Zilong led the troops to attack last time, but he only cared about the Cao army in front but didn't notice the back. Later, I analyzed that they should have used crossbows and thunderbolts. ”

"I've heard of crossbows." Sun Ce said to Lu Bu with a stunned face: "That thing was only used more when King Yingzheng of Qin conquered the Xiongnu before the Han Dynasty got the world. Later, because it was too heavy and the launch was very slow, it was gradually buried. As for the thunderbolt, I have never heard of it. ”

"Although the crossbow has many disadvantages, it also has advantages, that is, it has enough strength to shoot down the air force flying in mid-air." Lu Bu said: "It is absolutely impossible to develop a new type of aircraft today. It is impossible for the air force to fly higher, so we have to find a way to mess up the enemy forces first. Let their crossbows and thunderbolts not do much damage to our troops in order to deal them a fatal blow. ”

"What does the lord mean......" Zhao Yun thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what Lu Bu meant, so he couldn't help but ask.

"There's no way to develop a new style for airplanes for the time being, but balloons can." Lu Bu said: "The height that the balloon can fly up is definitely impossible to reach with a crossbow and a thunderbolt. We can use balloons to disrupt the enemy's defenses, and then drop paratroopers, and send the air force to conduct simultaneous raids. ”

"Paratroopers?" Zhao Yun and Sun Ce had never heard of this name, and their faces were confused.

"Yes, paratroopers." Lu Bu said: "The soldiers jumped from mid-air and fell directly to the rear of the enemy, Zilong led them to launch a surprise attack from behind, disrupting the enemy's defense line, I will lead the army to kill from the front." Flank on both sides, do not worry about the enemy army not breaking. ”

"Chu Hou." Zhao Yun pinched his chin and nodded, but Sun Ce said on the side: "I don't think Cao Cao can only deploy in one place, I'm afraid the same tactic won't work twice." ”

"For the tactics they are familiar with, it shouldn't work twice." Lu Bu said: "If they have never seen a method of warfare, it is not unusual for it to work twice. ”

"Dare to ask Chu Hou, what is a paratrooper?" Zhao Yun was still struggling with the paratroopers.

"A soldier who jumped from the sky." Lu Bu said: "When they jump, they will have an umbrella bag on them. As long as you pull the rope on the parachute, you can open the parachute, allowing them to land slowly, even if they fall to the ground, without falling to their deaths. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu's brows also furrowed slightly: "To use such tactics, we first have to solve a few problems. One of them is the development of parachutes, without parachutes, no matter how good it is, it is just a fantasy. ”

Parachutes are actually not difficult to make, what makes Lu Bu feel embarrassed is how to let the soldiers take them into the air, and when they jump from the sky, they can be opened calmly.

The umbrella bag that appeared in later generations is of course the most suitable.

But it involves details such as ejecting the parachute.

If any detail goes wrong, the soldier who jumps from the air will be smashed to pieces.

It seems to be a simple thing, but it involves the lives of the soldiers, so Lu Bu can't be a little sloppy.

"I will ponder the parachute, Zilong has been urging the hot air balloons to rise as high as possible recently." Lu Bu said: "When they reach a height that crossbows and thunderbolts can't shoot, let them practice hovering and throwing. Throw the fuel cylinder carried on the balloon into the set area accurately. ”

"I will urge the soldiers to practice." Zhao Yun first responded, and then asked Lu Bu: "Chu Hou, what do the soldiers who control the plane have to practice?" ”

"Let them also practice the uplift of the flight altitude." Lu Bu said: "The glider can not only fly so high, as long as it flies high enough, of course Cao Jun's weapons will not be able to hurt them. ”

"That's what Chu Hou said." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just that our soldiers are flying higher, and the accuracy of shooting Cao Jun will be much worse." ”

"Whether the enemy is accurate or not depends on the situation on the battlefield." Lu Bu said: "The most important thing now is to let them learn how to save their lives first. Only by surviving on the battlefield can they think about how to kill more enemy troops. ”

"I understand what Chu Hou means." Zhao Yun said: "Before going out, I will let the soldiers practice to fly higher. ”

"Just now, I and the soldiers talked about it seriously." Lu Bu said: "I can't blame them, after all, soaring in the sky, they didn't think of anything else that could restrain the air force." Over-inflated self-confidence, once hit, can be fatal in many cases. I have already done the wicked, Zilong will be a good man later, and most of the morale will be able to come back. ”

"How does Chu Hou want me to be a good person?" Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu grinned and told Zhao Yun how to talk to the soldiers.

After the instructions were finished, he said to Zhao Yun: "To deal with the soldiers who have completely lost their fighting spirit, we must first humiliate them and make them feel ashamed of the armor they are wearing. Then there is someone who goes to the round and wants them to understand that one failure does not mean a lifetime failure. As long as people are alive and their hearts are not dead, everything is still possible! ”

"I see." Zhao Yun responded and said to Lu Bu: "I'll go and talk to the soldiers later." ”

"Not later." Lu Bu said: "I still have to go back and figure out how to make a parachute." The soldiers are still standing on the school grounds, and if they stand for too long, it will not be introspection, but doubting life. ”

"I'll go over and talk to them." Zhao Yun answered and sent Lu Bu and Sun Ce out of the barracks.

Passing by the school field, Lu Bu didn't even look at the thousands of soldiers still standing there, and left with Sun Ce.

Zhao Yun sent them out of the barracks and returned directly to the school after turning around.

On the high platform, he shouted to the soldiers: "Have you reflected on it?" ”

The soldiers bowed their heads one by one, and none of them answered.

Looking around at the silent soldiers, Zhao Yun continued: "Chu Hou wants you to reflect, I just knew that it was impossible for you to figure it out. I really regret that I chose you shit into the Air Force. ”

had already been scolded by Lu Bu before, which would even cause Zhao Yun to scold them, and the mood of the soldiers was even more depressed.

"If you don't have the ability to win on the battlefield, forget it, and when you come back from the battle, you don't even have the brains to think about how to make the enemy army unable to beat you." Zhao Yun pointed at the soldiers on the school field and said, "Are you all pigs?" ”

"Cao Jun's weapons are just right to restrain us." A voice in the array replied timidly, "I watched a brother fall from an arrow......

"Why did the arrows hit you?" Zhao Yun interrupted him and shouted, "I'll tell you the reason, it's because you flew too low!" ”

The soldiers were stunned one by one, they really hadn't thought about this.

Fighting Cao Jun that night, they did fly a little low......

"If you fly higher, can Cao Jun shoot you out of the air?" Zhao Yun then shouted, making the soldiers feel even more confused.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "General Zhao, if we fly high, although Cao Jun can't shoot us, we can't shoot them either......"

"How to kill the enemy on the battlefield depends on your ability, and on the other hand, it depends on whether you can live longer!" Zhao Yun said: "I can't save my own life, how can I kill and injure the enemy army and make contributions?" ”

Zhao Yun's shouting made many people fall into contemplation.

They wondered if they would have another chance to shoot the enemy if they really flew to a high level......

The answer, of course, is no.

If you fly too high, the accuracy of the arrow will be reduced, and there is little chance of shooting the enemy......

"Do you think that flying too high is almost impossible to shoot the enemy?" Before the soldiers could figure it out, Zhao Yun then shouted: "I'll tell you one more thing, whether you can shoot the enemy accurately or not, the important thing is not how high you fly, but whether you have more exercises on weekdays!" ”

Looking at Zhao Yun on the high platform, thousands of air forces subconsciously straightened their chests.

"Chu Hou also told me just now, and he asked me if there is any need to disband the air force." Zhao Yun's next words made the soldiers stunned.

They are accustomed to flying in mid-air, and it is undoubtedly unacceptable for the officers and men of the Air Force who have ever been in the sky to suddenly disband them and let them run on the ground from now on.

"Do you know how I answered?" Thousands of people looked at Zhao Yun with apprehension on their faces, and then he shouted: "I told Chu Hou that you have not been completely defeated, but your former pride has been destroyed by others, so that you will not be able to ease your mind for a while. ”

"I promise the Marquis of Chu that before the army sets out, let him see an air force with high morale and regain its pride." His tone first became low, and then Zhao Yun raised his voice and shouted to the air force officers: "To be honest, I don't have confidence in you. Can you give me a little confidence and tell me you can! ”

"We can!" On the school ground, thousands of officers and men of the Air Force shouted in unison.

"What can be?" Zhao Yun shouted: "You can pull up your temples, put something in your crotch to hide your eggs, and pretend to be a girl from now on!" Or can I have faith in you and see you regain your lost pride? ”

"You can get your pride back!" First, a captain responded loudly, and then the air force officers and men on the school field shouted in unison again.

"Since you can, why don't you go to practice, what are you waiting for?" Zhao Yun shouted: "Is it possible to wait for me to squeeze your eggs one by one, so that you can really become a girl!" ”

Although Zhao Yun's words were very unpleasant, they gave great encouragement to the officers and men of the Air Force.

The soldiers shouted, scattered, and ran to the flying equipment they controlled.

Watching the soldiers run away, Zhao Yun instructed the few captains standing behind him: "A few of you keep an eye on the soldiers, ask them to practice flying higher, and at the same time, they must also practice shooting the enemy accurately in the air at a higher level!" ”

Several lieutenants responded in unison, and Zhao Yun jumped off the high platform.

In fact, since the last battle of Dangshan, as the commander of the air force, he has also doubted the necessity of the existence of the air force.

The air force soaring in the sky should have no natural enemies, but after Cao Jun came into contact with them once, he developed a weapon specially used to restrain the air force.

While those weapons brought casualties to the Air Force, they also destroyed the pride in the hearts of these "proud sons of the sky", and made them understand a truth, even if they flew in mid-air, it was definitely not impossible to deal with them!

If Lu Bu hadn't come here and said those words to him and the soldiers, the Air Force might really have no need to exist......
