Chapter 51: The Battle of Guandu (3)
When Cao Ang saw Yuan Yun, he almost pounced on him, pressed Yuan Yun to the ground in one fell swoop, and then laughed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Yun is very uncomfortable with this kind of enthusiasm, and he feels that his current posture is like Lori who has been pushed down and violated.
Dian Man was already Cao Ang's partial general at this moment, and when he saw Yuan Yun, he also pounced, and the three brothers were rolling on the dirt ground, all of them were disgraced.
Zhang Liao and Jia Xu naturally knew the relationship between their brothers, so they just stood aside silently, waiting for the three of them to finish messing around.
Yuan Yun couldn't stand it, so he shouted: "Legs, legs, legs, all the armor of the two of you is pressing on me, Lao Tzu escaped Yuan Shao, but he can't escape the poisonous hands of the two of you, get out of here!" ”
Cao Ang laughed again, then turned to the side, still sitting on the ground and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Cao Ang said three times in a row 'just come back' before stopping, Yuan Yun naturally guessed that this was Cao Ang's true temperament, and he was really worried about himself.
After taking a closer look at Cao Ang, Yuan Yuncai smiled evilly: "Hehe, familiar and familiar, why did you shed tears when you talked about it, a dignified eight-foot man...... Hey, hey, don't just say it, just pick up Lao Tzu, okay? ”
Cao Ang grabbed Yuan Yun's back collar, and then wiped his face, then said unhappily: "Get out and mix for so long, why is your mouth still so stinky, didn't Yuan Shao teach you to understand etiquette and abide by the law?" ”
Yuan Yun was carried like a chicken, so he could only roll his eyes and said: "Lao Tzu didn't even see Yuan Shao's face, but his two sons did, and they were made disgraced by Lao Tzu, fight with me, hum, no matter how many sons Yuan Shao has, it won't work, haha." ”
Although Yuan Yun's words were very bold, he was carried by Cao Ang like this, and he was always a little less convincing.
Dian Man also laughed at this moment: "It's better to arrange the camp, our gunpowder army camp is in General Xu Huang's camp, which is much more convenient." ”
Yuan Yun nodded, although he had promised Xiahoudun that he would go to his camp, but the Gunpowder Army was placed in Xu Huang's camp at the front of Guandu, so he could only follow.
Ying came out a mile to pick up these two brothers, and seeing that their faces were full of dust, he guessed that they must have traveled a long way, and they had to set up a camp at this moment, which was indeed very fortunate, so Yuan Yun took the lead and acted as a guide, and drove into Xu Huang's camp with the four thousand brothers of the Gunpowder Army.
The three brothers with 4,000 men and horses began to walk towards the camp step by step, Cao Ang and Dian Man listened to Yuan Yun talking about the northern encounter, and they were very fascinated by it, but they just said to Yuan Yun that he was mighty, and he could only sneer at the miracle of killing two strong men with empty punches in the broken temple.
When they heard Yuan Yun describe Zhao Yun, the two also had a yearning for it, so the hero really wanted to see him face to face, but this hero voted for Liu Bei, a hypocrite, which is really regrettable.
"The big beauty Diao Chan was also harvested by Brother Yuan into a private house, right?" Dianman was suddenly surprised.
In an instant, Yuan Yun gave him a big roll of his eyes, and then said in a serious tone: "Don't always look like a sperm in your brain when you're young, Diao Chan is my senior sister, what does it mean to have a private income, how did you become as dirty as Xiahou Mao?" ”
Dianman twitched his cheeks in embarrassment, and then said with a smile: "I think it's a matter of time before you and that Diao Chan, and watch." ”
Yuan Yun rolled his eyes again, ignoring the pawn, and said to Cao Ang: "Brother Cao Ang, how is the combat power of the Gunpowder Army now?" ”
Cao Ang smiled mysteriously and replied, "Destroy the world!" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, Cao Ang has always been cautious and cautious, and rarely so proud, could it be that during the period of his absence, the Gunpowder Army really grew up so fast, but it was too crazy to destroy the world?
Looking at Yuan Yun with a puzzled expression, Cao Ang smiled and said, "Do you know why we came from Hanoi?" ”
Yuan Yun shook his head, he had just arrived, so he naturally didn't know.
Cao Ang continued: "Li Yu was expelled by us to the west for hundreds of miles, throwing away his armor and abandoning his armor along the way, and we were almost stepping on the corpses of the enemy to advance, and I can guarantee that Li Yu would not dare to enter Luoyang for ten years." ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment and said: "No matter how weak Li Yu is, he still has 20,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and the gunpowder army can still win without the defense of the city wall, could it be that the strength of Li Yu's cavalry is blown out?" ”
"You can't say that, Li Yu's cavalry is indeed very terrifying, and we were almost surrounded and annihilated by him several times." After Dianman finished speaking, there was still a trace of fear on his face, and it didn't seem like he was cheating.
Cao Ang continued: "Li Yu's cavalry are all Dong Zhuo's old troops who are used to the battlefield, these people are really fierce and abnormal when they fight, if we are not equipped with forty mortar cannons, the consequences will be very miserable." ”
Dian Man laughed out loud at this time, and said: "As soon as the mortar cannon is released, those cavalry will immediately be in a mess, and then they will be shot by our steel crossbows, and what can be rushed in front of them by luck is a wave of gunpowder bullets."
However, even if Li Yu's cavalry was slaughtered like this every time, they were still not afraid of death, and every time they charged us, they were all heroic and abnormal, so even if we had this kind of immortal artifact in our hands, we still lost 20% of our troops, that is, more than 1,000 people, and 5,000 troops have now become 4,000. ”
Yuan Yun was secretly frightened when he heard this, he was charged by more than 20,000 cavalry, the scene must be very shocking, and it must be very terrifying, and he shuddered, hoping that it would not happen to him in his life.
The gunpowder army set up the camp on the left side of Xu Huang's camp, which is enough to see that Xu Huang attaches great importance to it, the ground here has already been leveled once, but it saves Cao Ang a lot of trouble, countless camp tents were quickly erected, plus the tents in the original camp, it can be described as dense.
The three brothers visited Xu Huang together, a general who was a little emaciated and like an old peasant, and only inquired about the gunpowder army's war against Li Yu, and then sent the three boys out.
The three of them did not return to the barracks, but made a round around the edge of the camp and touched the nearby terrain before they felt a little reassured.
The terrain here is open, and the camp is in a condescending position, which is the most suitable for the gunpowder army to play a role, so Cao Ang is looking forward to Yuan Shao's attack on the camp, so that the gunpowder army can have more opportunities to exercise.
Although Cao Ang is young, he also knows the route of a hundred battles, good soldiers are fought, definitely not trained, no matter how much training is not as practical as a big battle.
Nowadays, the gunpowder army in Xincheng does not engage in agriculture at all, and only conducts training every day, so there is no shortage of training, and this kind of opportunity for actual combat is missing, and the reason why Cao Ang hurried to Guandu after dealing with Li Yu is with this kind of consideration.
"The quality of our professional soldiers is good, everyone is voluntary, many of them are veterans from other military camps, and they have a good sense of the battlefield, but they need to run in with firearms and adapt to new tactics, which cannot be trained on weekdays, and only this kind of big battlefield can make this team take shape." Cao Ang muttered with emotion.
Dian Man glanced at Yuan Shao's enemy formation in the distance, nodded as well, and said, "If Yuan Shao dares to attack head-on, he will definitely suffer a big loss, but I don't know how many people he will send?" If he really presses the whole army, I'm afraid that our mortar will have a lot of drawbacks exposed, after all, it is too troublesome to load. ”
Yuan Yun glanced at the two people beside him knowingly, and could guess from Dianman's sentence that they had indeed improved a lot when dealing with Li Dao, and the disadvantages of the primitive artillery such as mortars had also been thoroughly explored, which played an absolutely positive role in the construction of the gunpowder army in the future.
It's just that this battle of Guandu should not suffer too much damage, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the Gunpowder Army to recover.
Because this is a new type of military, the training is not like ordinary soldiers, in addition to the need to understand the characteristics of firearms, there are also some modern military tutorials written by themselves, and finally after Cao Ang passed his own opinions, summed up a new set of training courses.
And these integrated courses, the way of training will become extremely complicated, and the training time of a qualified soldier will also be greatly increased, and it will take a long time to fill the loss of one.
The battle with Li Dao lost a thousand, which is definitely a huge loss, and I don't know what year and month it will take to replenish this thousand people.
Before, Yuan Yun was still worried that the speed of Xincheng's casting equipment could not keep up, but now the steelmaking furnace has been reformed by Pu Yuan and Ma Jun countless times, and the output and quality are improving, but the training of soldiers has become more complicated, resulting in the fact that the weapons are now complete, but the soldiers who are distributed cannot be arranged.
"Brother Yun doesn't have to worry about the replenishment of soldiers, now that Xincheng has changed to a conscription system, and nearby villages are also doing propaganda, those who are willing to join the army, as long as they pass the training course, they can be hired by Xincheng, and there will be monthly food and salary, and there will be more military achievements, and there will be official rewards.
Nowadays, many families will send their second son to the Xincheng military camp, which has become a shortcut for some people to soar, you don't know how many people come to Xincheng every day to sign up, Zheng Xuan's old man is a little angry, saying that so many people don't farm, but only think about fighting and making meritorious contributions, this is not the result of the sage's education. After Cao Ang finished speaking, he laughed, obviously he didn't care about Zheng Xuan's words at all.
Yuan Yun listened to Cao Ang say this, his thoughts no longer knew where he had gone, and he had some feelings in his heart, what he brought to this era was a more convenient way to kill people, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Yuan Yun was already a little confused, they all said that war was the catalyst for the evolution of human civilization, but he didn't feel this way now, the common people were still working hard in the fields, and the nobles were still enjoying their success, not to mention the exploitation of those big families, as for the progress of civilization, anyway, I didn't see it at all.
What role did you play in this era? Is it better, or worse?
Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun shook his head, he felt that he was just trying to survive, thinking about these great things was really beyond his cognition.
Turning his head, he found that Cao Ang and Dianman were already chatting about how to transform the gunpowder bomb and then slaughter more people at once, talking about these barbaric things, but the expressions of the two of them were extremely relaxed, as if they were greeting each other what they ate today?
With a wry smile again, Yuan Yun decided to cook himself today, so as to comfort these two barbarian brothers.
As long as Yuan Yun said cooking, Cao Ang would definitely cheer, not only that, Xu Huang also rushed over, along with Zhang Liao, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Guo Yi.
A group of people occupied Yuan Yun's barracks, and then while talking and laughing, they urged Yuan Yun to hurry up, speed up, don't be lazy Yunyun.
As soon as there are many people, the dishes will change a lot, otherwise there will not be enough to eat, but the conditions of the military camp are limited, Yuan Yun's final choice is that the dishes remain the same, but increase the portion, they are all soil buns and fighting men, as long as the taste is passable, they only care about whether they are full or not.
In this way, the meal was quite passable, and the pawn also praised Yuan Yun's cooking skills getting better and better, because he was very full, so he was very satisfied.
When everyone was sitting at the table and chatting, suddenly a herald came to the horse, and before they could reach the tent of a few people, they had already begun to shout: "The enemy is coming, all departments are on strict guard!" ”
