Huang Zhong is also ready, his 1,000 people have been training and are also on standby.

This thousand people are a force equipped with Zhuge repeaters, because crossbows are not easy to carry, so they basically do not belong to the regular army, not infantry or cavalry, but an army with a fleet.

Cao Ang's order was given, and Huang Zhong quickly led people to the post house to gather.

A thousand sounds like a lot, but it doesn't look like much when you assemble it.

It's not the number of people that matters, it's the will to fight, as long as you're brave enough, you can run after an army.

When the troops were assembled, Cao Ang found that they had no fear.

This is enough to see Huang Zhong's ability to lead the troops, the army in this era needs to constantly boost morale, and it is very difficult to test the ability of the commander, and it is impossible to rely on their self-consciousness.

"Childe, Huang Zhong is on standby!"

"Okay, it is reported that the enemy has about 10,000, can you deal with it?"

"Huang Zhong must do his best, but for the sake of safety, Gongzi must also evacuate here first, and it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose."

"No, I'm in this inn, and I rely on you."

Of course, Cao Ang won't run now, and it's useless to run, and it will have a great impact if he fails.

However, his confidence in this army is more than Huang Zhong, because it is equipped with a repeating crossbow, which Huang Zhong cannot estimate, the importance of long-range firepower can only be reflected in later generations, and no local tyrant can afford to consume it for so long in troubled times.

If there are only a thousand people, Cao Ang can be satisfied, and the crossbow arrows are still "borrowed".

On the other side, there are not elites such as tiger and leopard riders, but bandits such as mountain people, so Cao Ang is full of confidence.

These soldiers did go through Huang Zhong's rigorous training, but they didn't have much confidence in themselves, and they didn't expect Cao Ang to trust them so much, which also boosted morale to a certain extent.

"Childe, don't worry, as long as one of us is alive, we won't let anyone enter the post house!"

"Yes, I will never disappoint my son!"

"Let Jiangdong know that we are also the heroes of the world!"

The soldiers cheered up, what else do they want in this troubled world, even if they escape, they may not be able to live long.

It's better to fight to the death, fight for a fortune, even if you die, you can live for a hundred years, it's better than starving to death.

In this world, the average life expectancy is not high.

Cao Ang nodded: "Don't worry, the heroes of the world will remember this battle, and there will be a seat for you!" ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang was still watching from behind, and he found that everyone in this team was equipped with repeaters, and remembered the drawings and models that Cao Ang asked him for before, and nodded slightly.

Zhao Yun said on the side: "Strategist, why don't you take this opportunity to leave first?" ”

"Zilong, I can't leave at this time, do you know why?"

"Zhao Yun knows, but if something happens to the military advisor, Zhao Yun is ashamed of the lord."

They are all the same people, why are they working so hard, it's not just for fame.

If you run away now, your reputation will be ruined if you survive, so what's the point of working hard?

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "If the lord is here, what will happen to him?" ”

Zhao Yun stopped talking, this is not a nonsense, of course Liu Bei can't be cowardly, he is the banner of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Ang handed over the battlefield to Huang Zhong, walked back with a body of blood, and came to Zhuge Liang.

"Sir, you can leave first, I have prepared a boat for you."

"Childe, what do you mean by this, scolding Kong Ming?"

"No, Mr. is not my Cao Jun's person, he is not my subordinate, and leaving at this time will not damage his reputation."

"Childe is too underestimated by me, I promise to stay by Childe's side, and I won't leave even if I die!"

Zhuge Liang was stubborn, "Besides, Childe will not lose this battle." ”

Cao Ang smiled: "Mr. see it?" ”

"This repeater was built by Childe according to my drawings, I didn't know what it was used for, so the drawings were missing......"

"It's okay, it won't affect the situation of this battle."

Zhuge Liang did say the flaws in his drawings, but Cao Ang didn't mind at all.

In fact, as long as you test it strictly, you will know that there is a problem, but Cao Ang still built it, because these problems can be ignored, and it is indeed troublesome to have too much equipment, but if there are only a thousand people, it can be used as a consumable.

This kind of drawing also has to bring samples, and Zhuge Liang can only do this kind of tricks.

Because if you can't shoot, you can't fool it, so you can only design defects that are "easy to break".

Zhuge Liang said embarrassedly: "That crossbow, I'm afraid it will not be used." ”

"It's okay, if you use it, you can change it, anyway, as long as you shoot a few enemies, you won't lose money."

"Hey, that's ...... right."

Cao Ang's understanding also made Zhuge Liang a little enlightened, the battlefield really shouldn't be so exquisite, as long as the power is enough, the life span is not long, it can be endured, this is the thinking of all-out war in later generations.

In ancient times, because technology was only in the hands of a few people, many times it could not be mass-produced.

Therefore, many weapons have to be used for a lifetime, or even as family heirlooms for several generations......

In fact, there is no need, it can be even more cruel on a large-scale battlefield, as long as one life can be exchanged for two on the other side, it is a big victory, and a full-scale war does not pursue zero casualties.

Therefore, the usual training should be as durable and high-quality as possible, and if you really fight, you have to build it quickly.

Cao Ang knew that his thoughts were different, and he didn't persuade Zhuge Liang anymore, and when he saw that Sun Shangxiang was still waiting, he ordered: "Move a few stools out...... No, let's set up a banquet at the door, and I didn't have dinner. ”

Since you don't run, then calm down, it's useless to panic.

Zhuge Liang heard that he agreed, this is also his style, and he pretended to be more ruthless when he put up empty city plans.

……

At this time, Sun Quan was very frightened.

Although Zhou Yu said that tens of thousands of Shanyue people were transferred, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Gong Jin, I'm still worried that I can't take it, if I still can't move Cao Ang, what should I do?"

"Lord, this can't be...... He brought more than 1,000 people to the sky, and he was not a heavy horse, how could he resist 10,000 people? ”

Everyone knows that tigers and leopards are powerful, if this thousand is a tiger and leopard ride, then Shanyue may not be able to beat 100,000.

But they are all infantry, and everyone with three heads and six arms can't resist it, so it's not like everyone is an enemy of ten thousand.

10,000 enemies is just a description, and it can't really fight 10,000 people.

It's not easy to have a few generals like that in the world, they are all famous generals with names and surnames, and Cao Ang's thousand people are all famous generals?

"I always feel that Cao Ang is an extraordinary person, and we shouldn't be evil."

Sun Quan was really forced by Cao Ang's momentum, and after this period of communication, his heart was lower than before.

It's better to say that he is more realistic, Cao Jun is indeed powerful, and it depends on luck to fight the strong side, now that there are conditions for peace, why take the risk.

But Zhou Yu and the other generals were not convinced, they couldn't swallow this breath, and they were already very considerate of Sun Quan if they didn't make their own moves.

"Lord, if these 10,000 people can be defeated, please take your subordinates and sacrifice them to that Cao Ang, and let him cut them down!"
