Chapter 431
In a losing situation, defense and caution will only fail. The only chance of winning is to use the natural advantage of fifty thousand soldiers to rush towards a certain enemy unit.

At least before being surrounded, if you are lucky, you can destroy one of the opponents.

There is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out in the end, but at this juncture, all Cao Cao wants is dignity.

It was better to die in battle than to be pushed out after being captured, read out the crime, and then executed.

As long as I die in battle here, whatever crime you want to sentence me to later has nothing to do with me!

The Cao family's family members, as well as the Xiahou family's family members, have been sent overseas by ship.

After all, a huge island was found east of Kuaiji County. Although it is wild, the climate is not bad and it can be settled.

A few years later, I would find an opportunity to return to the Central Plains, hide my name, and rely on my past wealth to finally get a foothold.

"Charge!" Cao Cao, who had no scruples at all, ordered the charge.Trebuchets and ballistae are mainly used to deal with surrounding enemy troops.

The opponent has a habit of using weapons of war, which is to use them intensively.

With the help of the shield car, the main force rushed towards the front.The partial army used war weapons to contain the enemy forces on the left and right sides.

How could Cao Cao not know that his war weapons were no match for his opponent's, so he would make the best use of them.

In fact, he didn't even notice that he was involved in an arms race.

A lot of money and costs are spent to research and produce these war weapons.

As a result, financial expenditures were greatly occupied, resulting in the number of soldiers not being able to increase rapidly.

In other words, Liu Bei's legion only had 2 soldiers, which gave Cao Cao the illusion that he needed to become more elite.

In a sense, this is also a competition.

Expenses accounted for too large a proportion, so now there are only [-] soldiers, and at the same time they are still mixed.

Through adjustments, Liu Bei can easily expand his army to 20 soldiers.

A complete smelting system and even a water conservancy forging system allow armored weapons to be continuously forged.

High-yielding crops and early-maturing chickens and ducks resulted in no shortage of food and meat.

When ordinary people enlisted in the army, they were already in good physical condition and only needed a short period of training. In the past, they were already considered elite soldiers.

Then disperse the soldiers of the second-line army, and as officers of these armies, an army of tens of thousands can be quickly formed.

Not to mention, Liu Bei originally had several elite armies recruited from other princes.

Cao Cao secretly recruited them and asked them to serve as his internal agents, but unfortunately it failed. After all, Cao Cao could not pay a high enough price.

He just surrendered, completed a round of assessments, and was even demoted.

Dissatisfaction is definitely dissatisfaction, but if Cao Cao cannot pay a high enough price and ensure victory in this battle, they do not want to follow Cao Cao and go crazy.

When the time comes to die in battle, there is another matter. It is also a matter of whether the captured people can be tested again.

Even if he can accept the assessment again, his official position will be demoted again.

If you continue to lower yourself, you will become a big-headed soldier!

The main reason is the current situation in the world. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao's army will be defeated.

If the promise is empty, don't show it. It has nothing practical, even if it promises to be the king, it will be useless.

Cao Cao ended up in this situation, in a sense, because of Zhang He.

Again, this war seems to have nothing to do with Zhang He. In fact, there are traces of him everywhere.

The question is, is Cao Cao aware of this problem?

Probably not. Even Big Brother has been dragged down by the arms race.

Can people not see it?

Of course it does!

But who can guarantee that the other party really does not have such skills. If he falls behind, he will be beaten.

Not to mention that Zhang He was not bluffing, he was serious!

It's just that he cheated, so the cost and time were greatly reduced.

They really have this skill, and they are getting stronger and stronger. If they don’t follow, how will they fight in the future?
Cao Cao was really scared at the time, but now that he has come to his senses, he feels why he should bother to develop something that he is not good at.If he could wake up early, he would already have at least [-] soldiers under his command, so he would not be so passive.

We clearly have Taishan soldiers and Danyang soldiers, but we still end up like this. Who can blame us?

"So I have nothing to complain about when I end up like this..." Cao Cao laughed at himself, and then shouted, "Success or failure depends on this one move. For the sake of victory, charge with me!"

"Here!" The generals responded one after another, and a few noises were naturally included.

The Prime Minister took the lead in the charge, and as a subordinate, it would be unreasonable for him to be afraid.

You can win without fighting. In addition, if you surrender without fighting, as a soldier, this is unacceptable.

From the time when I was in the army to now, I have worked so hard to learn martial arts and trained so much, and I have suffered so much, not just to surrender in the face of battle!
To say that civil servants will actively consider the pros and cons, military commanders are relatively simple, and can even be said to be cute.

But the reality is crueler. The Baniu Crossbow has a device that slightly raises the crossbow body, which is for easier ejection.

Increase the effective shooting range at the expense of power.

The two sides met for two miles, and with the crossbow body raised to the highest position, more than 20 eight-niu crossbows fired instantly.

The huge crossbow bolt flew out, bypassing the shield car and quickly piercing the enemy's position. One crossbow bolt shot through at least three or four enemy troops.

This resulted in a certain gap in the enemy's position.

At the same time, the Xiangyang artillery began to fire.

Facing more than [-] soldiers, cobblestones are more cost-effective, but the ones chosen here are huge stone bullets.

More than [-] kilograms of stone bullets, that is, [-] kilograms of stone bullets, were put into the throwing bag.

As the mechanism on the winch was pressed down, the counterweight quickly fell, launching the stone projectile.

In the first round of flying shots, the aiming range was not very accurate. Some flew three miles away and some flew within one mile.

The flying angles are different, and some fall vertically, basically killing one or two people.

Some entered the enemy's position diagonally, plowing a bloody path.

"Charge!" Cao Cao shouted. At this moment, he had no other choice but to charge.

If you hesitate, you will be defeated, especially if the enemy troops are surrounding you from all sides.

To say that this is the war with the least technical content is purely a technological crushing of war weapons.

The room for battle formation and command is very limited. After all, the opponent is restricting himself from changing formations.

Besides, with tens of thousands of people, it will be very difficult to change formations. If you pay too much attention to formation changes, flaws will appear.

So set up a conical array, square array, or circular array in advance, and then quickly move forward.

At this time, although the war weapons of Cao Jun's side contained Taishi Ci's tribe to a certain extent, they were still led by Huang Zhong and Zhang He to kill them.

As these war machines were destroyed or captured, enemy forces began to surround them from behind.

So if you hesitate a little now, you will be completely defeated. The way to win is to charge, charge desperately!

Until, they saw the other party launching a row of Zhang's repeating crossbows.

At first they didn't know what it was, until a hail of arrows fell into their position.

This range of fire even exceeds that of ordinary crossbows.

Of course, a certain degree of projectile will lead to a decrease in lethality, but it does not require much lethality. The focus is still on coverage.

As for penetration, Taishi Ci's headquarters has arrived near Cao Jun, and with the armor-piercing arrows shooting out, that is the real harvest of life.

"Charge, charge!" Cao Cao continued to order, listening to the screams from around him.

At this moment, we were less than 50 meters away from the enemy headquarters.

However, at this moment, there were less than 5000 people following Cao Cao...
