But I just can't beat it.

Liao Hua's defense of Wu Pass, coupled with Huang Zhong's assistance, was like a wall of iron, and his head was covered in blood.

At this point, even if he can conquer Wuguan, he will not be able to explain to the fellow villagers in Jingzhou.

I felt a little fishy in my mouth. I don’t know if it was a ruptured mouth sore or a bleeding gum, which made it even more uncomfortable...

Suddenly, the sound of gold sounded.

Wen Pin was so scared that his soldiers were completely disbanded and he thought they had completely dispersed and rebelled. Without waiting for his instructions, he called out the gold and retreated.

As a result, he looked carefully and found that it was not his own side who was crying out the gold, but the defenders of Wuguan took the initiative to retreat.

From a distance, the three-colored flag of the cavalry slowly moved northward in the mountains and headed towards Wuguan City.

"The cavalry and the others retreated! They retreated!"

The soldiers of Cao's army shouted loudly.

There is no excitement, only a faint relief, or the fatigue of living in death.

Whether it was Cao's soldiers or Wenpin and other military academy generals, they all knew that it was not that they had won the Wuguan Guards here, but that the Wuguan Guards were voluntarily retreating.

These are two completely different concepts.

If the other party wants to defend, he will defend and retreat. This is a distinction between high and low. Even if there are many false words, it cannot be modified.

Wen Pin looked around the mountain road. His remnant general seemed to want to say a few words to encourage the soldiers, but in the end he said nothing. He just sat slowly on the ground like other military academy soldiers, took off his helmet, and showed the same tired look.

They tried their best.

...

...

Night gradually came.

In the new camp of Cao Jun outside Puban County, Cao Hong's general flag was withdrawn and replaced with Zhang Xi's surname flag.

The camp was closed and the surrounding trenches were only half dug because they were back to help.

Everything was like Cao Hong really withdrew.

This time, Cao Hong spent a lot of money.

When he was engaged in general battles, he would not easily use his direct troops, especially his two hundred armored soldiers.

But today, Cao Hong not only used it, but also used it all in one breath. He placed all the heavy armored soldiers in the camp and hid among ordinary Cao's soldiers.

They are divided into two types. One is responsible for the front row, holding a large shield and a spear, hiding in a tent, and garrisoning the horse, mainly resisting the impact of the cavalry. The other is responsible for the battle in the back row, holding a long halberd, cutting the horse's legs, and cutting the heads.

This kind of tactic can indeed effectively restrain the impact of cavalry.

After all, the Han Dynasty had been fighting against nomadic people for a long time. There were already many mature tactics of how to kill cavalry with heavy infantry.

In addition to using horse-rejecting, you can also use a car array.

But if you use the car array, it is too obvious, so Cao Hong just uses the horse-rejecting ban.

In fact, nomadism is not that scary, nor is it the natural enemy of the farming nation as many brick beasts claim.

For a long time, for some purpose, the Bricks have always claimed that nomadic peoples are cruel and often take advantage of the weakness of the Central Plains dynasty, but this statement is incomplete and incomplete.

In fact, if peace and stability can be achieved, most of the time, no one will think of starting a war. The main reason why nomads go south is often because they can't survive!

Throughout history, the climate is always the sword of Damocles that is shared by the Central Plains dynasty and the northern nomads.

Moreover, nomadic peoples will soon decline even if they rise on a whim due to cultural gaps. The Central Plains dynasty was suppressing nomadic peoples for most of the time.

The Five Barbarians of the Han Dynasty are not false.

The problem is that the pace of farming expansion stops in farming.

When the farming people drove the nomads to the north of the 400mm precipitation line, they stopped.

During the changes in the territory of China in history, the actual ruling area of ​​the Central Plains dynasty has always been within the Great Wall. The land north of the Great Wall is always lost and regained, because of this 400-square-mm precipitation line.

The reason why the subsequent Central Plains dynasty seemed to be at an increasingly disadvantage in the nomads was actually a fundamental reason, that is, the internal exploitation of the Central Plains dynasty was actually gradually deepening.

The system of small peasant economy has long suppressed commercial development, resulting in serious insufficient nutrition intake and physical weakness in poor people.

Without oil, no protein, only carbohydrates and various plant fibers, how can you have a strong body?

In the Qin and Han dynasties, when commerce was not so severely suppressed, the people of the Central Plains could wear heavy armor and heavy crossbows to fight head-on with nomadic cavalry. After the Song Dynasty, although there were also heavy armored soldiers in the army, there were fewer burly men. It was basically impossible to make most of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty wear more than 100 kilograms of equipment and fight in a formation. Even if they barely wear heavy armored arrays, they would often be dragged down by nomadic cavalry.

Therefore, if you want to be strong, you can't rely solely on the scriptures, you must have meat.

Cao Hong can now have 200 armored soldiers, of course he can also eat meat.

If you want to have meat, you need stronger warriors.

Huaxia originally had the opportunity to eat more meat, but unfortunately some people changed it to eating vegetarian food...

Now, Cao Jun wants to eat a bite of meat.

A bite of Sima Yi's meat.

They were like evil wolves, hiding in the camp, waiting for their prey to appear.

Cao Hong himself also wore heavy armor.

Unlike the previous set of armor decorated with gorgeous patterns, this set of heavy armor looks gloomy and gray.

The battle axe was standing in front of him.

In the quiet dark night, there seemed to be only the sound of the howling cold wind.

Cao Hong's eyes were firm. He believed that Sima Yi was not far away and was observing the camp.

In this battle, Cao Hong knew that even if he won, he might not be able to change the disadvantage, but he was still waiting here.

Because at this moment, after several setbacks, Cao Hong also woke up from the angry father's state. He recalled the battle experiences between him and Cao Cao, those moments of bloody battles on the battlefield...

This was a huge test, for him and for Cao Cao.

Although Cao Hong's previous answer was not well written, he still has the opportunity to rewrite it a little more now.

Even though there is not much space left for him.

But he could not let Cao Cao down.

He is from the Cao family, so of course he has to gain more breathing space and more opportunities to eat meat for the Cao family.

The cold wind is still there.

Cao Hong suddenly opened his eyes and heard some noises appearing in the wind.

Cao Hong lowered his head and stared at the battle axe in front of him.
