From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, over a long period of thousands of years, if we talk about weapons, clothing and armor, there have been many improvements.
However, when it comes to the general's bravery and high fighting spirit, in Lao Cao's opinion, the last is not as good as the first, and it is difficult to match the ancients.
The spirit of the Han Dynasty was martial. Not to mention the scholars, even many common people had a generous and unyielding spirit in their hearts. During long periods of chaos, those who knew how to fight were numerous, and those who joined the army were brave. Not to mention those famous and heroic armies. Ordinary troops can be considered elite in this world.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been more than a hundred years since the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs. As the saying goes, "Those who roll their names outside the Donghua Gate are good men." The arrogance of military men has been lost for a long time. Geniuses and famous generals occasionally appear, but the overall glory has long been dimmed.
For example, in such a battle, the Huaixi army seemed ferocious and the Song army seemed cowardly, but in Cao Cao's eyes, they were actually no different from children playing house - the five-year-old boy beat the four-year-old boy and made him cry, which cannot be explained. The fact that five-year-old children are so powerful can only mean that six-year-old children have not yet arrived.
The intensity of such battles, not to mention the classic battles experienced by Lao Cao, was ten times more intense when Yuan Benchu fought against Gongsun Zan.
As for the actual situation, the 10,000 forbidden troops led by Liu Yanqing first won the victory at Wulipo and then the victory at Wancheng. They fought two great victories in a row. Inadvertently, the morale of the army has undergone subtle changes: for example, many When the sergeant looked at Cao Cao and others, his originally numb and empty eyes had a look of respect, which was proof.
Even the 10,000 forbidden troops led by Wang Zhen were affected silently - otherwise, that army would not be retreating step by step, but completely disintegrated.
Lao Cao had been a soldier in his previous life, so he naturally had a clear understanding of this change.
The army is a monster that needs to be fed by constant victory.
His contempt for the enemy, his grasp of the changes in military morale, and his trust in the generals around him were Cao Cao's capital to seize the commander's flag and counterattack the enemy when it seemed that he was defeated.
After all, Tong Guan was the most trusted commander by the emperor in the Song Dynasty. Making this man realize that the word "Wuzhi" was synonymous with victory was the purpose of Lao Cao's coming with the army.
Is there any impression that is more profound than "destroying the enemy's front with sharpness and turning the tide from extreme danger"?
"Han Wu, bypass the friendly forces and go straight to the opponent's commander's flag!"
Cao Cao followed Han Shizhong and others and issued orders loudly.
"The general will get the order!"
Han Shizhong shouted loudly, flicked the reins of his horse, nimbly bypassed Wang Zhen's troops, and went straight to the Huaixi Army Commander Banner to kill.
Han Shizhong, Lu Junyi, and Sun An are all good generals. However, the latter two are brave when they are brave, but they do not have the almost intuitive aura of Han Shizhong on the battlefield.
Therefore, Lao Cao set up the formation, with this person as the vanguard, Lu and Sun Chicheng as the blades on the left and right, himself and Xu Guanzhong as the eyes and brains, and the solemn veteran Liu Yanqing led the commander in the center as the soul, six or seven thousand dare The Zhan Forbidden Army is made of flesh and blood, and they want to take advantage of the tussle between the two armies to bite the Huaixi Army's throat into pieces.
The Huaixi Army thought they were sure of victory, and attacked like a tide. Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out of the diagonal stab, led by several giant insects, with a knife, a spear, and two swords. Anyone who stood in the way of the former would have their troops and horses smashed to pieces, forcing their way through the densely packed army.
Not to mention that the rebel soldiers were shocked, even the Song Army formations were exclaiming: "Ah, the handsome flag has moved, the handsome flag has moved!"
More Song soldiers heard the news and went away, confused, then surprised, and finally ecstatic - God! Shuai Qi did not retreat as everyone imagined, but quickly crashed into the traitor's Shuai Qi at an unimaginable speed!
Many Song soldiers and generals rubbed their eyes subconsciously. For them, this scene was almost impossible to happen in their dreams.
When the battle situation was unfavorable, the handsome flag not only refused to retreat, but instead rushed towards the enemy's handsome flag with a decisive attitude and no return. For a moment, the troops were in a trance - Damn, this is leading us to fight. Yes, is it Commander Tong Guantong or Commander Di Qingdi?
Seeing the tall flags moving forward among the huge crowd, many Song soldiers felt that their hearts were filled with an inexplicable and unprecedented emotion. Maybe they didn't know that this was the pride that only belonged to soldiers. But there are still some people who subconsciously obey this feeling and roar from the bottom of their hearts——
"Shuai Tong, mighty!"
The next moment, dozens of people roared at the same time——
"The handsome boy is mighty!"
Then hundreds or thousands of people roared——
"The handsome boy is mighty!"
In just a few breaths, almost everyone in the tens of thousands of Song troops roared at the top of their lungs: "Master Tong is mighty!"
The roar of all the armies not only shook the heavens and the earth, but also moved the hearts and souls!
Many Song soldiers who had fled earlier were shocked by the roar, stood up and turned around at a loss, and then discovered the handsome flag that kept moving forward amidst the earth-shattering roar.
"His mother, there is a ghost..." Chen Zhoudu, who had run dozens of feet away, stood still, looked at Pao Ze who was fighting in the distance, and screamed in a low voice: "This, this child Commander, you are so brave!"
A young soldier next to him, about fourteen or fifteen years old, ran a few more steps before he stopped. His face was full of confusion: "Li Dutou, why don't you run?"
"Run? Run away!" All of them stared, clenched their fists, and shouted, "You can't see how handsome Tong is killing all those guys who have no eggs? I have such a big egg under my crotch, you tell me to run?" "
"I didn't tell you to run away!" The little soldier jumped up and down unjustly: "Didn't you tell us all to run away? You said that all the governors died in the battle, and we don't have Shangguan to make the decision, so if we stay, we must pretend to be brave. Army, go climb the city wall and fill in the ravines, why did I ask you to run away?"
Dutou was furious: "Fart! I, Li Dunzi, am loyal and courageous. It was obviously you who dragged me away. Stop talking nonsense. Where is my knife?"
The little soldier curled his lips and shed tears: "You are all relying on me. Last time you stole Widow Liu's bellyband, you relied on me, and now you rely on me again to return the knife. I watched you kill her as soon as you ran away. The knife is lost."
Li Dunzi's head turned red and he cursed: "You lazy kid, you talk so much nonsense!" He reached out and pulled out the single sword that the little soldier was carrying on his back, pulled it away and rushed back. The soldier cried more and more, chasing him and saying, "You still want to steal my sword. You are so stupid. You have snatched my sword. Why are we fighting for it?"
Li Dunzi ran and cursed: "You are not as good as a sword, so you can fight with a ball! You have never tasted a woman, why don't you live a good life!"
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, grabbed the little soldier, twisted him, put him to the ground, and hurriedly ordered: "If the army loses, you surrender. If you win and you get up again, you will say that you fell unconscious. But don’t dare say escape, otherwise the military will kill you.”
"Then go again by yourself!" The little soldier lay on the ground covered in dirt and cried while looking at Li Dunzi's stocky and short back.
"No matter how bad I am, I still eat the official rations. It's okay if everyone runs away. Now that the commander-in-chief and he have no eggs, how can I run away? I ran away. Widow Liu will not let me in next time. .”
Li Dunzi yelled and rushed back to the battle formation. When he saw a thief soldier, his gun was pierced in the stomach of the Song army. Song Bing fell limply to the ground, holding on tightly to the barrel of his gun, spitting blood from his mouth and nose, looking straight at Li Dunzi and saying: "Kill, kill the rebels."
Judging from the color of his clothes, he was a soldier from Xuzhou. The distance between Chen and Xuzhou was less than a hundred miles, so he could barely be considered a fellow soldier. Li Dunzi nodded: "Brother, look at me."
At this time, three thieves chased a Song soldier. The Song soldier broke the head of his spear, leaving only half of the wooden pole in his hand. He was swinging it around and looking panicked. When Li Dunzi saw it, he jumped over with a roar, and landed on the ground. Rolling, slashing with two swords, cutting off two calves, the two thieves screamed and fell over.
The other thief was frightened and hurriedly stabbed him with his spear. Li Dunzi rolled nimbly, avoiding the tip of the spear, and cut off half of his foot with a backhand knife. The thief screamed, but Li Dunzi bounced up like a rubber ball. , three swords in a row, killing the three thieves.
Song Bing, who had broken his gun, exclaimed: "It's so easy to get out of here! Brother, thank you for saving my life!"
Li Dunzi bared his teeth and smiled, but before he could say anything, another seven or eight thieves rushed over, led by a general on horseback. Li Dunzi panicked, and suddenly more than ten Song soldiers came out from beside him, shouting and surrounding him. The thieves and soldiers were fighting. Unexpectedly, the general was very brave. He used a wind-splitting knife to chop at random, killing six or seven people in a row. The Song army was suddenly at a loss. The thieves laughed happily and said, "Teach you to remember my name, Ji Sansi!"
Seeing how fierce the thieves were, Li Dunzi wanted to run away. Then he heard shouts of "Mighty Commander Tong" from all around. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ji Sansi, I am Li Dunzi, the commander-in-chief of Chenzhou's army. I'm here here." Take your life!"
He ran forward with the knife in his hand, and Ji Sansi slashed down with the big knife fiercely. Li Dunzi did not block it, he ducked, turned around, and turned under the belly of his horse. He held the handle of the knife in his right hand and held the knife in his left hand. First, he used all his strength to stab upwards, only to hear a squeaking sound. The handle of the knife penetrated the horse's belly and back, pierced the saddle, and penetrated more than half a foot into Ji Sansi's rectum. Ji Sansi screamed strangely. , with a strange expression on his face, the wind-splitting knife fell to the ground, and he died on his horse.
Li Dunzi didn't dare to draw the sword, so he rolled out while his horse fell to the ground. He picked up Ji Sansi's long-handled wind-splitting knife, and with two blows, he killed two thieves. The other Song soldiers were surprised and happy. Subconsciously, Li Dunzi took the lead and surrounded and killed the remaining thieves.
Youfenjiao: Fengjuan Shuaiqi is full of morale, who doesn’t have a strong heart? The Song army's mouth roared like thunder, and Dunzi's single sword penetrated the large intestine.
