Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 352
According to normal people's logic, when an army enters the plain country, it will move towards the place where the enemies gather.

Even if we investigate, we are basically on the edge of the Yellow River.

Due to this kind of thinking inertia, after Cao Jun confirmed that Zhang He's troops had entered Pingyuan Kingdom, they used Pingyuan County as a bait to attract the enemy. In fact, their troops secretly crossed south at night and went around to the west Pingchang area to cross north.

Ye Buqiu dispersed out, normally in a fan shape, and an army suddenly came to the originally safe rear. It was not easy to detect.

"Report, there is an army in the rear, killing us!" Until the scout reported, the enemy had arrived within 500 meters.

The cavalry charged quickly, trying to destroy their baggage supplies and weapons of war before the other party could take precautions.

Cutting off the enemy's food routes was originally what Cao Cao was best at.

"The heavy troops form a formation to resist, and the crossbow chariots are ready!" Zhang He immediately ordered, "The personal guards quickly retreated, and the armor-piercing arrows were prepared!"

As soon as the order was given, not to mention that on the horizon, an army was seen coming towards him from a distance.

Ordinary scouts would come over and report immediately after discovering the enemy, but the enemy in question was also a cavalryman.

So when the scouts reported, the other party had quickly closed the distance.

Minzhuang moved quickly towards the front. They were non-combat units.

Facing the enemy's charge, they must be the first to be confused.

The baggage soldiers still had room for a fight. Thousands of baggage soldiers quickly picked up their spears, crossed the minzhuang, and came to the rear army to form a formation.

Let’s not talk about whether they can resist. After all, the opponent is a heavy cavalry.

"It's strange. Is there a group of heavy troops arranging their troops over there?" On Cao Jun's side, the general at the head was Cao Chun.

They have two horses per person to ensure that the horses have enough strength when charging.

It was originally a quick battle, and Cao Chun couldn't wait for his headquarters to arrive before fighting.

It's just that the situation in front of him made him confused. Minzhuang had already left quickly, but the heavy troops actually formed a formation to try to resist.

The problem is a simple leather armor and a crude spear. With just this, you still want to stop us?

"Change horses and charge!" Seeing that the rear army had not arrived yet, Cao Chun ordered a charge.

The soldiers changed horses one after another. In order to reduce the physical exertion of the horses and to make it easier to change horses, they all wore relatively light armor.

The defense power is naturally reduced, but with the Wuhuan horse under the seat, it can only go so far.

Let’s just say that this horse is wearing half-body armor.

I don’t dare to think that if I am wearing full armor, if I charge with all my strength for three to five miles, this horse will probably be unable to run.

"Raise the gun!" Facing the enemy cavalry rushing over, the captain on the baggage side shouted, "Throw!"

In frontal resistance, even if the gun is stabilized with the help of the ground, it is still easy to break through the defense when facing heavy cavalry.

The gun array can basically only ensure that the first three columns are exposed to the outside world, and the rear ones continue to be exposed to the outside world, and the gun body is not long enough.

On the other hand, as long as the first three columns maintain a gun array, the latter can use the method of throwing guns to weaken the opponent's speed.

You really don't want to kill the opponent, you just want to slightly reduce the opponent's speed.

As we all know, if the cavalry loses speed, it loses its power.

"Charge over!" Cao Chun was not afraid and continued to charge after giving the order.

With him personally leading the charge, the soldiers below could only lower their bodies to reduce the possibility of being hit by spears, and at the same time raised their long knives in preparation for attack.

Heavy cavalry with spears would be too inferior. Even if they were equipped with spears, they would have to be horse spears or spears. It is better to say that it should be like this.

Cao Chun's heavy cavalry is equipped with long swords.

It's not as good as the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, it's just an ordinary long-pole sword.

Even so, it was enough for them to break through the enemy's position with the help of horse power.

Not to mention that they were facing a group of heavy equipment soldiers with poor equipment.

A large number of flying spears can only cause limited damage. After all, if they are thrown from 40 to [-] meters, what impact can they cause?
At most, it will fall to the ground, which will somewhat hinder the progress of the horses.

But the opponent didn't just throw a wave and forget about it. Instead, after two rows of soldiers finished throwing, they quickly retreated, and another two rows of soldiers stepped forward to throw, and the cycle started again.

There were thousands of people, and a steady stream of spears were thrown out, not to mention that the battlefield was full of spears.

As the enemy troops entered a distance of 30 to [-] meters, many spears began to fly towards them.

Naturally, some were lucky enough to be bounced away by the armor.Those who are unlucky will plunge into the gaps in the armor, causing damage.

No, no, strictly speaking, the real luck is when you throw your spear and miss them.

Finally, the first war horse fell to the ground due to a critical hit, then the second, the third...

But at the same time, Cao Chun had already arrived in front of these soldiers, raised his sword and cut off the gun barrel directly in front of him.

The soldiers under his command moved forward from left to right, following him and rushing towards the position of the heavy supplies.

So, they waited for the armor-piercing arrows, and the guards who had arrived at the scene immediately raised their crossbows and fired arrows at them.

Using armor-piercing arrows, the armor can be torn apart easily, unless the opponent is wearing plate armor.

Whether it is pierced armor or scale armor, when an arrow is drilled into it, the nail plate will be easily drilled open and then quickly penetrate into the flesh.

Unlike ordinary arrows, these armor-piercing arrows penetrate the flesh, but have to unscrew a large piece of flesh to come out.

Rather, it is the obstruction of the front armor that reduces the speed, otherwise it should be able to spin a perfect gap.

Then a large piece of flesh and blood is rotated off, the speed decreases and the force is uneven, which is the real culprit.

After all, in addition to the force of the spiral, there is also the force of forward propulsion.

"What!" Cao Chunzhen didn't expect that the other party would have such a powerful crossbow arrow.

If his personal guards hadn't discovered something was wrong and immediately blocked him, he might have died.

Looking at the personal guards blocking him, three or four of them were all bloody.

"Continue!" Although he was a little wary of the opponent's crossbow arrows, the supplies were right in front of him, and Cao Chun couldn't let them go.

It was just that the personal guards rushed to the front, blocked him, and cooperated with him to advance.

So, they ushered in the second round and the third round of shooting.In terms of three-stage shooting, Wei Yi has already commanded it very well.

I just feel that if this continues, they will all change jobs and become professional crossbowmen.

However, the baggage side was still breached by the opponent, and armor-piercing arrows continued to cause damage to the opponent. The problem was that Cao Jun was not afraid of death.

When the battle formation was completely torn apart, the opponent began to destroy the baggage.

Someone prepared an oil pot, someone prepared a fire stick, and the flames started burning.

This was Zhang He's fault. In order to keep the fire more convenient, he took out the fire certificate in advance.

Naturally, this easy-to-counterfeit and convenient gadget quickly hit the streets and was then copied.

Otherwise, with Cao's army moving at such a high speed, it would be easy to extinguish it even with a torch.

Now it's easier, just throw the oil can, then blow the fire stick red and throw it out.

The oil pot contained fish oil. After occupying Qingzhou, Cao Cao naturally had an inexhaustible supply of fish oil.

A large amount of sea fish was sent to the army as salted fish to ensure the proportion of meat for the army, and at the same time the internal organs were taken out and boiled for oil.

Of course it doesn't smell good, and it can't be used as fuel for oil lamps, but it does have a lot of uses as a material used to support military combustion.

Let’s just say that on rainy days, it’s really difficult to light those damp firewood without fish oil.

"The other side is trying to destroy our baggage with all their troops?" Zhang Hezhen couldn't believe it.

"That's the truth..." Jushou also couldn't believe it, but the fire had already spread.

As for Cao Chunbu, he also left quickly.

It’s not that I don’t want to go deeper, it’s just that if I don’t go, I really won’t be able to go.

Two thousand troops came over, but those who are still somewhat intact are less than a few hundred.

Even Cao Chun felt that the gains outweighed the losses in this operation.

　A few less important materials were exchanged for nearly two thousand heavy cavalry. I don't know if this transaction was considered a profit.

　　Don't rush, don't rush, it's time to rush.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
