Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3357: Little Baby's Big Shock

It is called the Cavalry, but they don’t use cavalry. Who can believe this?

But that's what happened.

As the order was given, Xu Chu's army marched forward, with flags and spears flying like a forest, and horses galloping, raising a cloud of dust.

The mules and horses pulled the cannons, lowered their heads, and walked forward silently. I wonder if they were envious of their cousins.

Wheels with wider track structures are obviously more convenient than simple axle spoke structures, and there is no risk of falling into potholes during transportation and transfer.

As the sun gradually moved to the center, Xu Chu and others began to attack.

Following the command, the artillery column in the rear passed through the gap left by the army formation, arrived in front of the formation, and aimed the black muzzles at the Cao army camp. The craftsmen and artillerymen in charge of the artillery quickly began to fix the artillery carriage, and took out the tools for loading and clearing the barrel from the baggage cart in the rear, completing the preparations for shooting quickly and effectively.

The artillery commander, Huang Shi Military Academy, personally led his men to check the deployment of the artillery again.

He had no thoughts or opinions about Xu Chu, or rather, he had no special opinions about most of the generals. The previous harsh and even somewhat rude words could generally be seen as the inability of a science and engineering student to adapt to the ways of the world.

But turning around, Huang's military school treated these cannons under his command as if they were a hot-tempered little lover. With a doting look, he carefully checked the little lover's briefs...

Ahem, fixtures.

Only after ensuring that the artillery preparations were safe and correct did he wave the flag to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu responded quickly.

"Prepare to fire!" Huang's artillery officer yelled, glaring at his soldiers and craftsmen, "Check the gunpowder gauge again! Make sure the gunpowder batches are not mixed! If anyone puts the wrong amount of gunpowder in and breaks the gun, I'll shove the gun into his back ditch!"

The artillery soldiers also responded loudly.

Turning around, Huang's military school touched a cannon and whispered softly, "Have you been holding it in for too long? Now I'll give you a good time!"

Then he yelled again, "Ready! Shoot!"

With a roar, gray smoke with some blue rose from the artillery position, and then the yellow dust on the ground also flew in the sunlight.

A black line instantly streaked across the air, then pounced on the wall of the Cao army camp that was besieging Anyi City, and with a huge and teeth-grinding creaking sound, it caused wood chips to fly all over the sky!

"First shot hit!" the craftsman next to the cannon shouted loudly.

"Report parameters! Hahahaha!" Huang's military school laughed and yelled back, "Everyone! Prepare to launch! ! Let Cao thieves have a taste of our little darling's power!"

  The roar of artillery fire echoed throughout the fields!

Although it is unclear what the standards for the "little darlings" of the Huang Military Academy are, the shock it brought to Cao's army was great!

  Even within the main camp of Cao's army, which had not been bombarded by artillery fire, there was an uproar!

"The Hussars' artillery! It's artillery! It hit our camp!"

Cao Hong's guard shouted, with some panic in his voice.

"What the hell!"

Cao Hong slapped the guard aside, disliking the guard for blocking his view.

The actions of General Fei Qian were so fast that Cao Hong was caught off guard.

  Normally, shouldn't both sides send some envoys to state the other side's disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice, and explain their own just position, which would be considered the foreplay of the battle?

Why did you pick on such a stupid, big, black and thick guy right off the bat? !

Cao Hong was ready to humiliate the envoy sent by Fei Qian!

After all, Fei Qian had "rudely" rejected Cao's envoy before.

  At the very least, it takes time to deploy troops and formations. Even doing a haircut takes half a day, okay?

The General of the Cavalry Fei Qian just came casually, fought casually, and divided the troops casually. The key point is that he just started fighting like this!

  Let’s do it directly!

Not even a hint of urgency?!

Cao Hong looked at Fei Qian's formation in front of him, then turned his head to look at the hussar formation on the other flank, and then said to himself in disbelief: "What does the hussar want to do? He...he actually wants to save the people in Anyi City first? Is he crazy? Huh? What do they think we are? Wooden stakes or straw targets? Huh? !"

Cao Hong suddenly felt as if there was a nameless anger rising in his heart.

And they are going to attack Anyi!

After Fei Qian led his troops to Anyi City, it was equivalent to a gift to the victor. Since it was a gift, it was not worth spending any more time to consider whether it was a gift or not. However, Fei Qian not only divided his troops, but also used the flank troops to attack the Cao army camp that besieged Anyi!

  It's like Fei Qian is saying that he can win no matter how he fights!

This was not directed at Cao Hong alone, but Fei Qian was mocking everyone in Cao's camp, saying that everyone in Cao's camp was garbage...

"Who led the army to attack Anyi?" Cao Hong identified the battle flags, "Xu? Him?"

Cao Hong recognized Xu Chu's flag.

It was this flag that he had pulled in front of Cao’s camp before.

  I heard that this guy was from Shandong before, but he ran away to Guanzhong and became a running dog under the command of the General Huoqi!

traitor!

  Traitors shall not die well!

Cao Cao and Cao Hong set up a platform and built a high stage, preparing to stage a big show.

As a result, the show just started and Fei Qian directly destroyed the stage? !

What made Fei Qian so eager to take action?

And you chose Anyi City?

"boom! 』

While Cao Hong was thinking, there was another roar.

"Another hit!" the Cao army guard shouted.

"Shut up! The camp wall is so huge! What's so strange about a few hits?!" Cao Hong shouted angrily on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart.

This artillery seems...

  Bigger than the one above Tongguan?

And the accuracy seems to be better?

Due to the distance, Cao Hong could not see clearly, but at least it sounded like the artillery on Tongguan did not have the current momentum.

The sound of the cannon was so powerful that even Cao Hong seemed to feel some vibration.

How can this be?

It's such a long distance, how can it be transmitted here?

Cao Hong looked around and found that there was an ordinary Cao army soldier who was originally on duty at the lookout, hugging a wooden pillar and trembling...

"Get out of here!"

Cao Hong was so angry that he roared.

The Cao army soldier on duty immediately ran away with his head in his hands.

  What a cowardly fool! If he keeps shaking, will he pee on the lookout?

Cao Hong suddenly thought of something and his expression turned a little worse.

Even if these ordinary Cao army soldiers around the Central Guard Army behaved like this, then those guys in the side camps...

  Even with this explanation, Cao Hong still couldn't understand why the General of Cavalry wanted to disperse the artillery to the two wings?

Shouldn't such a powerful weapon be placed in the middle of the formation as the most powerful weapon to break through the city and attack the stronghold? In his opinion, such a thing can only be controlled by Fei Qian directly, how can it be distributed? What if someone with ill intentions turns the muzzle to shoot Fei Qian, wouldn't it be...

and many more.

If we could grab these guns...

Even if they can't grab it, they can take a closer look and then destroy the cannon by stuffing some sand or stones into it. Wouldn't that break half of the cavalry's horse's leg?

Cao Hong grunted and swallowed.

  No, no!

I am the commander of the central army now. I cannot be greedy and must remain stable!

Cao Hong couldn't help but look back at "Cao Cao" on the central platform. If Cao Cao was really in the camp at this time, he could still ask for advice and consultation, but now that Cao Cao was just an appearance, of course he could only pretend.

"Boom, boom!"

Roars sounded one after another.

"General!" Cao Hong's guards shouted, "The camp below Anyi City has raised a double rabbit flag!"

"What?" Cao Hong was immediately furious. "They dared to raise the Double Rabbit after being bombarded a few times! Are these guys all dead?!" Of course, there were no dead people in the Cao army camp that besieged Anyi City, but their subjective initiative was almost the same as that of the dead. If these people were asked to deal with the remnants of the defeated soldiers in Anyi City, there would be no problem, but now facing the cavalry cannons, they were immediately panicked. Obviously, there was not much damage, but under the collective panic, they didn't care whether they would raise a flag for help first.

Cao Hong leaned on the railing of the observation tower and looked at the other two directions of the cavalry formation. "Don't worry about them! This is the cavalry's feint to the east and attack in the west!"

Although he said this, Cao Hong was still unsure.

  Is it really a diversion?

Or is it true or false?

Are they even preparing for a full-scale attack and multiple breakthroughs?

  Dry!

For this question, should I choose A, B, or C?

……

……

Pei Ji, who was lying on the dilapidated city wall of Anyi, was now also facing a choice.

Just as Fei Qian had expected, an epidemic had already broken out in Anyi City.

If Anyi could deal with all the corpses properly, perhaps it could have prevented the growth of bacteria and the spread of diseases.

Or if everyone in the city could unite, with the rich giving out their surplus cloth and food so that the poor could have more strength to work, and if they could organize and coordinate to overcome the difficulties together, perhaps they could be safe.

But it was obvious that when the crisis was over, the people who had once supported and depended on each other in the same team were now walking, riding in cars, or riding on horses. The wheel of the car threw off the lame horse, and then turned on the left turn signal and drove to the right.

Perhaps the old man who could have made the final decision is now dead.

He died on the battlefield wearing armor.

Pei Mao could indeed stay in the city and not have to drag his sick body into the battle. Even if the city was finally broken, there was a great possibility that he would not be killed directly. However, Pei Mao still wore armor and fought on the front line in person, braving arrows and swords.

This may be the last lesson Pei Mao wants to leave to his people.

  People, especially the gentry, must first be self-reliant and work hard to gain the respect of others!

But unfortunately, not all members of the Pei clan are willing to learn from Pei Mao.

These Pei descendants are willing to ask their subordinates to fight, but they themselves don't want to fight.

After all, struggle is too tiring.

It's so easy to make sarcastic remarks and mock those who are doing things. Why do you have to do it yourself?

People who only want to be officials and don't want to do any work are not only found in Shandong.

Pei Ji simply did not live in the city these days, but went to the top of the city wall.

This prevented some complaints from reaching his ears.

But avoiding it cannot solve the problem. The problem is still there and will only get bigger.

He is the third child, and he has an older brother.

  It's so ridiculous that in this dilapidated Anyi, there are still people fighting among themselves!

When the Cavalry Army arrived, Cao's army stopped attacking the city. Once the external danger stopped, the internal fighting began immediately!

All the aunts, uncles, and uncles who had never climbed the city walls and had never even held a sword or a gun, now showed up one by one and said, "Look, what did I say before? Why did we have to fight so hard? Didn't the cavalry come? As a result, the head of the family died on the city wall. How sad! The most important thing for us now is to decide on the position of the head of the family! After all, a snake cannot survive without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings..."

Do they really care about their family?

Just ridiculous.

But among these people, some are older and are Pei Ji's elders.

When you talk to them about reason, they start talking about emotions.

  When they start talking about feelings, they start discussing seniority!

When Xu Chu moved his troops, Pei Ji received a report from his men who were defending the city. However, due to the mental and physical exhaustion during this period of time, Pei Ji's brain did not react...

It was not until the roar of artillery that Pei Ji was awakened from his confusion as if struck by lightning.

He also thought that the Cavalry would most likely not act so quickly. It would take at least two or three days to prepare before slowly getting down to business.

"What?! This is a cannon?!" Pei Ji climbed on the top of the city wall, staring at the smoke and dust rising from the cannon, watching the flames erupting from the muzzle, and couldn't help trembling all over, "How could there be such a powerful thing in the world?!"

  When he saw the wall of Cao's camp under Anyi City trembling, groaning, limp and collapse amid the roar of artillery fire, Pei Ji could not help but feel an inexplicable pleasure that went from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

"You bastard! This day has come for you too! Haha! Hahahaha!"

Pei Ji laughed and waved his arms, as if to cheer on the artillery.

On the city wall of Anyi, the other remaining soldiers, like Pei Ji, shouted and danced.

But a moment later, when Pei Ji gradually came out of his excitement, he saw Xu Chu preparing to attack in formation...

"Well?"

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment.

  No need for cavalry?

Looking from the top of the city wall, although there was smoke from artillery fire, one could still see that Xu Chu had deployed his cavalry on the outer line, while the infantry array was preparing to charge into Cao's camp.

  Is this because they are worried about the traps in Cao’s camp?

Pei Ji was also familiar with the terrain around Anyi City.

"But if this is the case..."

Pei Ji thought about it, and then suddenly shuddered.

He ran hurriedly from one side of the city wall to the other.

"It's broken, it's broken!"

  Pei Ji saw that there seemed to be smoke and dust rising in the Cao army camp, and it seemed that a large number of Cao army soldiers were being mobilized!

It is obvious that Cao's army is about to take action!

"Quick! Quick! Send it to the Hussars..."

  Pei Ji shouted halfway before he realized that he had not made any communication arrangements with the Hussars, so how could he send a signal?

Waving flags and shouting?

Maybe the cavalry thought it was to encourage them...

The golden gong was struck to sound a warning, but it was so far away, and there was also the roar of artillery. Who could be sure that the Hussars would be able to hear it?

So, just sit back and do nothing?

No!

"Come here! Gather some people! We..." Pei Ji gritted his teeth and shouted, "We are getting ready to leave the city!"

"What? Leave the city? Young Master, if we...if we go out, we won't be able to come back!" said the old guard beside Pei Ji. As an old man in the Pei family, he knew the current situation very well.

There are some people in the city who are eager for Pei Ji to leave as soon as possible...

"We..." Pei Ji was silent for a moment. He touched the broken city wall, "Look at this city wall... We originally thought that as long as the city wall was well built, any enemy could be kept out. Then what? The city wall is getting more and more broken, and there is no time to repair it... The enemy didn't defeat us, but we ourselves were torn apart... A broken Anyi City, an Anyi City that has not been completely rescued, an Anyi City that has not even had time to bury these debris and corpses... An Anyi City where even the owner of the family has not yet rested in peace... What is there worth fighting for? Is it worth them tearing their faces off to rob it now? ! "

Under the sky, the hardest thing is not stone or steel, but the human heart.

Once the human heart becomes hardened, it is stinkier than stone and colder than steel.

"A solid city wall... Haha, this is a solid city wall!" Pei Ji laughed, "They thought it was this city wall that stopped Cao's army and protected them! Look, look! What are these Cao's soldiers who once frightened them doing now?"

Looking from the top of the city wall, inside the Cao army camp that was besieging Anyi, the Cao army soldiers were running around and shouting in panic amid the roar of artillery fire, like a group of ants on a hot pan.

The wall of the stockade was bombarded by concentrated artillery fire, and the entire wooden stakes were wailing, tearing, and flying.

Several shells blasted into the camp, drawing several lines of blood and fire.

In the face of hot weapons, those who were once strong seem so fragile.

In the center of the camp, a large double rabbit flag was waving...

"If you plant crops in the spring, you will have a harvest in the autumn! If we sit back and watch today, then don't blame the cavalry for sitting back and watching tomorrow!" Pei Ji sneered, "If they want Anyi City, just give it to them! Go tell the people in the city that if they want to leave, just follow me and rush out of the city! You don't have to take anything valuable with you! Those who don't want to leave... can leave it to them!"
