Chapter 3485 The chain effect of small factors(2/2)
"Don't worry about me..." Ma Jun grinned in pain, but still shouted, "Counterattack! Ahh... Go counterattack! Go quickly!"
During the break of the battlefield pause caused by the sound of artillery, Ma Jun's order was finally passed on. Only then did the Guanzhong naval army recover from the panic and began to fight back at the surrounding Cao army soldiers, especially the archers on the shore. The crossbow of another tower ship also began to try to counterattack the position of Cao army's catapulted chariot on the hillside.
The Cao army archers on the shore had no cover and were soon shot under the crossbow of the Cavalry Navy. The Cao army's catapulted chariots and crossbows on the hillside were also hit by two or three stone bullets, and they screamed and panicked for a while. Then, under the suppression of the Cao army's command team, the attack on the Cavalry Navy was restored again.

The Cavalry Navy resumed order, but in this short half an hour, the Cavalry Navy suffered a heavy blow.
Some fighting ships seemed crowded and could not fight because they rescued many hussars in the water, and Ma Jun's tower ship was also severely damaged. Another tower ship was also injured, but it was not as serious as Ma Jun's tower ship.
Pang Tong on the high platform in the distance saw this scene and knew that fighting again was useless. Apart from fighting for consumption, it would not cause additional damage to Cao's army, so he ordered a retreat...
The Guanzhong navy turned toward the north shore and then dragged the scars back.
The cavalry on land was also retreating in an orderly manner.
Cao's army seemed to have won the battle in this nameless small mountain village.
Cao Cao looked at the fleeing Guanzhong naval fleet and calculated that it seemed that Cao's army and the others had just sunk two fighting ships, and the rest of the ships were only injured...
Cao Cao personally took the horse and faced Ma Jun. Whether it was the upper or lower circumference, it naturally crushed Ma Jun. Therefore, it was originally an unexpected thing to ambush Ma Jun's fleet, but what Cao Cao did not expect was that he could not destroy the Guanzhong naval army in one breath! Although Cao Cao didn't know how long it would take to repair a tower ship, this just means that these Guanzhong naval army would not appear again in a short period of time, which does not mean that they would not come again in the future!
This is indeed a good thing for the Cao army troops distributed on both sides of the river, but Cao Cao did not cheer like an ordinary Cao army soldier, and there was not much excitement on his face, but only fatigue and helplessness.
Cao Cao is now beginning to feel the importance of knowledge inheritance and middle- and low-level officers in addition to manpower and material resources.
Shandong's manpower and material resources are not enough without the support of the middle and lower levels of military academies. If there are many things, it will not be done in place!
Just like this ambush, Cao Cao chose the best place, made the best arrangement, and seized the most accurate opportunity, but did not deal the maximum damage!
After a cannon, the Cavalry Navy was able to recover from the chaos and counterattack. However, the Cao army archers arranged on the shore were unable to take advantage of the chaos of the Cavalry Guanzhong Navy and ignite gunpowder or tincture oil on the building ships and other ships, so they naturally did not destroy the Cavalry Guanzhong Navy in one fell swoop.
This is also a chain reaction caused by Ma Jun's movement of the artillery position.
Of course, Cao Cao could not know where Ma Jun moved the guns and moved the cannons, gunpowder, etc. from the bow of the ship to the cabin, so naturally, he asked the Cao army archers to shoot rockets as much as possible at the bow of the ship...
Because there were gunpowder in the past, there was also gunpowder in the place.
However, it was obvious that shooting rockets at the bow did not cause the expected explosion effect. Cao Jun archers did not immediately change the target because of their rigid mode, but still poured the rockets towards the bow. After Ma Junlou's bow removed the cannon, there were only bare decks and collision corners left. In fact, they were not afraid of any ordinary rocket attacks.
If the military academy of the Cao army archers was smarter at that time, after all, they were closest to the Husband Navy ships, and they saw the most clearly and made adjustments in time, then the Husband Navy would most likely suffer greater losses!
The execution of Shandong has been implemented.
But it is really fooling the people.
Cao Cao sighed, "Come here! Go and find where the shot just now fell... Measure its range..."
Ma Jun's shot just now did not appear any magical works that only keyboard warriors said.
However, it also shocked Cao Cao!
The shells landed not far from the core area of Cao Cao's mid-range.
Cao Cao even saw the mud, sand and stones that splashed in that moment!
The range of the artillery of the Cavalry Army has increased again?
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little more sad.
How could he know that when Ma Jun ordered the firing, the soldiers and craftsmen were in a hurry and installed more gunpowder for the artillery...
Perhaps it was the excessive amount of gunpowder that caused the artillery to react too much, which fell off the cannon stand and broke Ma Jun's leg.
This tiny factor is always present in the battlefield, but it has caused a chain effect.
The guard responded and went down to send the order.
The Cavalry Army was retreating, and Cao's army received a short rest time.
However, the battlefield was full of devastation, and the injured soldiers could not immediately recover blood just because both sides temporarily escaped from the battle. Under the fierce attacks against the soldiers on the land of the cavalry army, the Central Guards, who were directly under Cao Cao, also suffered great losses.
Some Cao's sons lie on this unknown land forever.
If the Tongguan Camp had not retreated so quickly, Cao Cao would have more time to rest fortifications here, which might have reduced a lot of casualties.
If it weren't for the Anyi camp...
If it is not in Shandong...
These things may have been originally not too fatal, but they are piled up little by little on the victory or defeat balance of the battle. Now they are piled up like mountains, even if Cao Cao takes action himself, he may not be able to turn the world around.
People must go through pain before they can grow.
People from Shandong, this great man has experienced too little pain in the past two hundred years since Liu Xiu...
If it hurts and can wake up, there is still hope.
If it hurts, you won't wake up...
Cao Cao looked up at the sky.
The sky is getting whiter.
The star of enlightenment shines in the sky...
The soldiers who went to measure the range of artillery have not returned yet, but there is bad news coming from the north shore, which makes Cao Jun, who was still a little excited, feel like he is covered in ice water!
"Report to the Prime Minister! Zhongtiaoshan camp is in great collapse!"
Cao Cao once again felt the bitter cold wind coming from the north and threw himself on his face with a grim smile.
