Chapter 3374 A small choice(2/2)
"Look carefully! It is indeed the fire of the civilian camp in the east!" The soldiers reported.
"This..." Cao Hong was confused.
After a long time, Is it for Anyi City again?
Didn't you come for yourself?
What does the cavalry mean?
Cao Hong is now injured in his leg and cannot climb the platform. He can only try to stretch his neck and look into the distance.
The Cao army camp occupied a very wide area, and there were small camps in the camp.
As the fire sways, you can only see many shadows shaking between the camps, wooden stakes, and fortifications, but you can't see clearly what it is...
Cao Hong gritted his teeth, "Have the cavalry outside the camp moved?"
Looking at the Cao army soldiers on the tower tried to stare at the darkness in the distance, then distinguished whether there were horse hooves in the air. After a while, he lowered his head and shouted, "Master, I didn't notice any movement!"
The guard said from the side: "Master, will you... not send out cavalry?"
Cao Hong was silent for a while, then shook his head, "Impossible! The cavalry has always been cautious, how could it be just using some infantry? It is definitely impossible! These cavalry may have all wrapped around horse hooves!"
"But..." The guard said two words and did not continue, because there was no need.
As long as you are not a fool, you can understand the situation now.
The riots continue.
At night, there is something more terrifying than the enemy situation, which is marketing...
Oh, wrong, Yingxiao!
In fact, it seems that marketing and Yingxiao have a lot of similarities, all of which are entangled with personal will, falling into inexplicable fanaticism, and losing their minds...
If such riots continue at night, even if the cavalry and the thief rebels are eliminated or repelled, it will cause considerable losses and may even fail to end the next day.
So Cao Hong has only two options, one is to quell the riots as soon as possible, and the other is...
Cao Hong looked up at him.
The stars in the sky are still so pure and gorgeous, without any contamination of the blood and dirt of the world.
If the main force of the cavalry is unknown, he cannot act rashly...
But the result is even worse!
Because if there is such a stir at night, I am afraid that the losses that may be caused will be greater than those of the enemy's rushing to the camp!
If you hold on, you don’t have to wait until Fei Qian comes, and Cao Hong himself will collapse first!
Dilemma, another dilemma!
A familiar feeling surged into Cao Hong's heart again.
"The cavalry is really a good opponent..." Cao Hong subconsciously wanted to go upstairs, but staggered slightly because of the injury on his feet, but soon he pushed away the guard's hand and looked north, "What a good opponent!"
This is the case on the battlefield, no matter how difficult it is, you have to choose!
Cao Cao's tactics are already witty and changeable, and cannot be calculated based on common sense. However, Cao Hong did not expect that the tactics corresponding to the cavalry were so beyond the norm...
General generals often only arrange tactics according to basic or habitual cognition. For example, if you want to set up a formation, then it should be "the two wings are placed on cavalry, and the middle line should be long-range troops such as heavy armored infantry and strong crossbows." Of course, this understanding cannot be said to be wrong, but in fact, this is not a rule or a rule, and this arrangement method cannot be broken.
After Fei Qian arrived, the entire Cavalry Army, regardless of the issue of momentum, was the changes in this basic tactic that made Cao Hong exhausted from dealing with it.
At the beginning, everything seemed normal.
It's like the formation that Fei Qian first set out.
For this reason, Cao Hong was proud of himself for a while, thinking that the cavalry was just like this.
But unexpectedly, his complacency could not last long.
Even half of the originally expected, no, even one-third of them failed to stick to it.
When did this change occur?
There was still noisy in the camp, as if every minute and every moment were urging Cao Hong to make a decision as soon as possible!
Yes, that's it!
It’s like this every time, and it’s always a hurry!
Cao Hong suddenly grinned, "Haha! What a cavalryman!"
『Reign of the Lord?
The guards didn't understand.
"Charles, cavalry!"
Cao Hong nodded while sighing.
Fei Qian never sticks to fixed tactics. Sometimes he arranges traditional tactical formations just to confuse his opponents. Just like after Cao Hong discovered Fei Qian's division of troops, he felt that he had the opportunity to raid Xu Chu's troops, fighting less, but he was thought to have a capsized ship...
At the moment, the whole situation was like a falling snowball, becoming increasingly out of Cao Hong's control. When Cao Hong turned around and thought about it carefully, he did not find out what he had done wrong!
This is not to say that Cao Hong is stubborn and does not repent, but Cao Hong discovered that even if he returns to those choices, he will still choose his previous choice!
When the cavalry first arrived, Cao Hong chose to defend the camp rather than fight immediately. Judging from the current results, perhaps the entire army might have had different results at that time, but in fact, the morale of the Cao army was scattered and some of the troops had been secretly transferred by Cao Cao, and he no longer had the conditions to fight with Fei Qian in a head-on battle. Instead, the rational choice and the best tactical strategy to consume the camp fortifications.
Did Cao Hong make the wrong choice here?
There is nothing wrong.
But later, Cao Hong couldn't help but abandon the original plan of consuming the camp, violated the instructions given to him by Cao Cao, and led the army to attack!
The reason why Cao Hong couldn't help it was that the cavalry revealed a "flaw"!
How can you miss a great fighter opportunity?
Cao Hong felt that he could seize the opportunity and change the situation...
Is he wrong?
It’s not wrong, it’s just that things are in a hurry!
The situation on the battlefield changed greatly, and Fei Qian's troops became weak after he divided his troops and he also sent troops to attack the Anyi camp at that time!
It's simply...
Fei Qian has relatively few troops on the surface. According to common sense, he should concentrate his troops, but he just divided his troops! This unreasonable measure made Cao Hong unable to sit still.
But now that Cao Hong is asked to choose again, Cao Hong will at most wonder if he should have attacked Fei Qianzhong Army at that time, rather than sitting there and ignoring Anyi.
So what if Cao Hong endured it?
Although it may not fail immediately, morale will be hit harder!
When the cavalry army gathered together, it can be said that the opponent's army was powerful, but Fei Qian divided the troops, what should I say? Moreover, Fei Qian did not dare to go out for one point three, so once again, he would not go out for one point five or not? If the troops were divided to attack Anyi without saving, what would Cao's army think about defeating the army?
The morale of Cao's army itself is not high. Faced with such a situation, Cao Hong could of course have to choose to go out to rescue the Anyi camp, or directly "surround Wei and save Zhao"!
Cao Hong did not choose to raid Fei Qian's mid-range formation at that time because Cao Hong felt that the cavalry on both wings of Fei Qian would be surrounded and returned at any time, so Cao Hong chose to attack a cavalry on the flank first, and then tried to kill Xu Chu after removing a certain threat. As a result, Cao Hong did not first defeat the Hussar cavalry on the wings, but capsized in front of Xu Chu's infantry.
In the end, the current situation was formed.
And now...
Cao Hong faces a choice again.
Should I choose to chase and kill the cavalry thieves heading east, or to go to the camp gate to wipe out the traitors of Bao Zhong?
Although Cao Hong was a little puzzled by the way to Anyi, it made sense to think about it. After all, the battle in Anyi only rescued a small number of people. Now the escaped people want to rescue more relatives and other things.
So is it important to intercept the people in Anyi, or is it safer to strangle Bao Zhong first?
Some people have been picked up in Anyi City, and their importance has been greatly reduced, so now...
Chapter completed!
