Chapter 1024: A Momentary Loss
(This period of time to write is very hard, I want to write this battle more exciting, but there is a lot of procrastination and slowness in the pen, this battle will be of decisive significance for Liu Yi to dominate the world, Xiao Zhuge wants to unfold the battle as much as possible to make the scene more grand, but in the ideas and details still seem a little messy, this time everyone let me slow down, and think about how to write it more successfully, wolf three to today more than three million words, there may be a lot of dissatisfaction with everyone, But one thing is for sure, Xiao Zhuge has been writing with his heart, and such efforts and intentions will continue, I hope you will give more opinions.
Yesterday, the book friends in the group pointed out that Hao Zhaosheng captured it was fun and not forbidden, and he only saw it when he used his mobile phone today, and he changed it immediately, hoping to give Wolf San a happy ending with you! )
Compared with the attack on the head of the city several zhang high, the Yan army bombarded the sky cannon and attacked the enemy camp undoubtedly has a stronger power, after the actual combat training of Leping attack, the accuracy of the Vermilion Bird Battalion for long-range suppression has been improved, in the later stage of the siege war, the cooperation between them and the Liaodong Army can also be called a mercury outlet, when to shoot sharply, when to slow down, when to stop The two sides are cooperating seamlessly! The attack on Cao Ren's garrison camp under the city of Lu has shown an extremely strong momentum, for those soldiers who charge on the front line, the comrades in the rear are their patron saints, and the power of long-range suppression greatly reduces their casualties in the impact, and when the originally dense arrow rain becomes sparse, the attack on the camp by foot soldiers is more advantageous.
At the same time that the Liaodong Army launched an attack on Leping City, the Second Army of Beiping Swift Wind also used the equipment battalion of its own army to conduct actual combat exercises in two places in Dongping and Luguo, and also gained a lot of experience that was difficult to obtain in training, so although the cooperation between them and the Suzaku Battalion on the first day of attack was not as tacit as the Liaodong Army, it had already made the Cao Army feel the huge pressure, and the collapse of the two subdivisions of the Yan Army's offensive was like a devastating and decaying! The morale of the second sergeant of the Beiping Storm was also greatly boosted because of this!
Defending the fortress is different from defending the city, no matter how strong the camp is, it will not be as worthy of relying on Xiongcheng, retreating into the Lu State means that the Cao army needs to bear the same treatment as Lejin Chen Liuying in Leping, and Cao Ren will never do this unless it is absolutely necessary, so when the Yan army launched the offensive again on the second day, the response of the Cao army was also a change, a short assault! The tactics used by Zhang Xiu's Chang'an battalion to resist Cao Cao's army on the attack appeared again in Cao Ren's hands on that day, but the enemy and us changed, and the purpose of Cao's army was to disrupt the position of the Suzaku camp to weaken its power.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of the Xiangyang Cannon, how to set up the position is extremely crucial, and under Leping City, Li Tieniu and the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Battalion also made a lot of adjustments and changes according to the actual battle. The main forces of the Yan army can accumulate enough experience in the siege, and the Cao army can quickly adapt to the power of the opponent's sophisticated equipment and novel tactics under this kind of blow, which is an instinct possessed by the heroes of a hundred battles! Leping City has reached the final stage, and now Cao Ren is using his own battle experience to make all kinds of responses, this is by no means the last battle between them and the Yan army, and the exploration in the actual battle is also for the sake of future wars.
As one of the tiger generals of the Cao army, Cao Zilian has never been beaten and does not fight back, he personally led his soldiers and soldiers to conduct a number of tragic white-knives battles with the Beiping army, although the power of the Yan army's equipment battalion is far better than the bow and arrow, but when the rhythm changes, it is not as fast as the former, as long as the Cao soldier can quickly entangle with the enemy, the killing and damage caused by the opponent's equipment will be greatly reduced, and this method of operation can also cause greater losses to the enemy, although its own casualties are not under the other party, It is much better to be beaten passively in the camp than to be beaten in the camp.
In the face of Cao Ren's surprise attack, Tai Shici naturally went into battle in person without showing weakness, and the collision between the top generals was not only wonderful in the horse battle, but also never lost in the foot battle. Before this battle, if you ask Liu Yi or any of the generals in the Yan army, Tai Shici and Cao Ren, how to win or lose, I'm afraid they will laugh, looking at the past various examples, although Cao Zilian's martial arts are also extremely extraordinary, but compared with Ziyi, there is still a gap between the battle of Yanzhou, when the battle of Yanzhou was instigated, he turned a blind eye, and Hao Zhao, who was in the battle formation at the beginning, could fight with it for sixty rounds, but the result of this battle was somewhat surprising, and the two of them were evenly divided in eighty matches!
Is this just the difference between horse fighting and foot fighting? Tai Shi Ci can answer in the affirmative, but this is definitely not the case! Cao Ren's knife technique is not as powerful as Guan Yu, nor is it as violent as the tiger idiot Xu Chu, and it is not as surging as Gan Ning's purple shark breaking waves, but it is extremely stable, this kind of stability is not the old and strong of the veteran Huang Zhongfeng's cold knife but implies a kind of general's style, which seems to be clumsy and ingenious, and there is only one answer to the fast gun that Ziyi is alone in the world, and Cao Zilian's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few years, generally speaking, this is by no means logical, But it was really reflected in the battle under the city of Lu.
Tai Shi Ci didn't want to delve into it, although he was a martial artist, he had a lot of curiosity about it, but at the moment, the battle situation was superior, and the courage of the puppet was not worth his distraction. The tactics of short assault are described in detail in the outline of the Yan army's drills, Ziyi's Beiping Army has also undergone many exercises of this tactic, looking at the performance of Cao Jun today, he has to admit that the other party's proficiency in this use is by no means under the Yan army, and the tactical innovation in the army in the past two years is not only with the Yan army, Liu Yi brought a new concept to make his combat power has been improving, but also affected the military theory of this era, in the face of the Yan army's strong southern three heroes also require new changes!
Good tactics and concepts need to be implemented by generals and strong troops, and Cao Ren and his subordinates undoubtedly meet this standard, but the Beiping Army, which was still progressing smoothly from early morning to dusk, is difficult to have the previous momentum of devastation, and the whole battle situation also presents a kind of stalemate balance. In response to the flying stones of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, the soldiers of Cao did not have the panic at the beginning, which made them more calm to face the impact of the Beiping army, Cao Ren personally went into battle to defeat the fierce general Tai Shici of the Yan army, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, so that it could always stand against the enemy.
After a day of fierce fighting, in addition to the casualties of thousands of soldiers, the Beiping army did not make as smooth progress as yesterday, and the battle situation fell into attrition for a while, but the advantage of the Yan army's Suzaku battalion always existed, and their long-range suppression was still a killing move that the Cao army could only defend! When it comes to casualties, the other side may also be above your own. If Tai Shi Ci didn't care too much about this in peacetime, the Yan army studied Cao Jun the most deeply and paid the most attention, and the generals of the various armies who knew its combat strength had a full estimate of the difficulties that arose in the war, and the strength of the two sides was roughly equal, and it was difficult to completely suppress the other party in such a battle! However, the battle of Lu in front of him was variable after Liu Bei's Yangzhou army crossed the river to the north, and a quick victory was the most advantageous for the Yan army.
For this reason, Tai Shi Ci convened the generals overnight to discuss the defense method to deal with the short surprise attack of the Cao army, and in his judgment of the battle situation with Gao Ran, clearing the Cao Ren Department on the periphery of the Lu State was the inevitable first step in this battle! But as soon as night fell, Cao's army's night attacks followed, and in the case of not having the advantage of troops, and fierce battles during the day, Cao Ren's continuous fighting spirit was so resolute, which also showed his deep judgment of the battle situation, and he did his best to create a favorable situation and make a powerful blow to the Yan army's Suzaku Battalion has become the key to whether this battle can last longer. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the strategy of arrogance to abandon the two camps in a row, and braved the night bombardment of the cannon to attack at night, and forbearance did not move, just to cause the negligence of the Yan army for a while! And Tai Shici's Beiping Army was indeed counted by Cao Zilian in this battle.
Infantry and artillery coordination, the position of the Vermilion Bird Battalion can be said to be dominant, Liu Yi has been constantly emphasizing ensuring the safety of this strategic arm in his communication with the generals countless times, if the words are extreme, he would rather pay several times the casualties of the infantry than easily lose any bombardment shooter or battalion equipment! This is by no means that the corporates under the command of Liu Yi's troops treat everyone equally or take heavy objects and ignore people, making such a choice is determined by the important role that the Vermilion Bird Battalion and the Equipment Battalion can play in the war, especially after the Leping War, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the generals of all armies.
The Beiping Army's defense of the position of the Suzaku Battalion is not imstrict, but what they underestimated was the kind of determination of the Cao Army, and the smooth attack of Leping and the devastation of the offensive on the first day also made Ziyi somewhat underestimate the possible counterattack of the Cao Army to a certain extent, and the distance between the two armies was too close due to the range, which caused the Cao Army to be able to enter the position of the Suzaku Camp on the night of the second day! Fortunately, Li Tieniu invested less than half of the equipment in the night formation, and Tai Shici's reaction was extremely fast, which avoided greater losses, but the death of eleven sky-bombing cannons, nineteen Xiangyang cannons and sixty-seven shooters was also an unprecedented loss for the Suzaku battalion, and it must be known that this was close to nearly half of the combat strength of the equipment battalions of each army.
This night attack on the Cao army came and went quickly, on the battlefield Cao Ren's judgment of the situation and timing was very accurate, and after achieving certain results, he immediately saw that the Yan army had reacted, and he immediately saw that he was good, and there was no further greed, not waiting for the Beiping soldiers to retaliate against their night attack, Cao soldiers retreated to the camp again in an orderly manner, and it was evident that they were well prepared between the advance and retreat. It can also be seen that in a big battle, only cavalry can come and go like the wind, as long as the timing and situation are properly controlled, and the foot soldiers can do this in a short distance.
For tonight's losses, Tai Shi Ci and Li Tieniu both blamed themselves in their hearts, because the generals were on top of the battle array, they really couldn't tolerate a moment of negligence, and even the defense that originally thought that the arrangement was thorough and proper should also consider how firm the enemy's fighting spirit was! Leping is Leping, Lu is Lu, King Yan has a saying, soldiers can cheer for a momentary victory, but for commanders and generals, it is only in the past, in addition to experience, must not be indulged in it, now look at this statement can be described as exquisite, in the face of Cao Jun such a strong opponent before it is completely defeated, it must not be relaxed!
