Chapter 14 The Rainy Day Calls the Array
After hearing what Cao Ren said about the last big defeat, Cao Ang said: "In this way, the second brother's defeat was a bit incredible at first, but it was understandable."
"oh?"
"What do you mean by brother?" Cao Pi asked hurriedly.
Over the past few days, Cao Pi has been depressed. He has been thinking about it and still can't figure out how he lost.
In the 21st century terms, I smoked three boxes of cigarettes and didn't understand how I lost.
"Second brother, the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry you lead are leopard cavalry. The leopard cavalry is a light soldier who is good at fighting and has arrows and sabers to kill the enemy. As you said, the enemy is a heavy-armored infantry, and is used to kill the enemy with a long sword. The individual soldier is burly, well-equipped and well-trained. In all aspects, he will be a leopard cavalry."
"This Modao Soldier is originally used to restrain cavalry, and the second brother faces the enemy head-on with the leopard cavalry who is good at fighting. In this way, he attacks the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, wouldn't he defeat Gak?"
"A man wearing heavy armor, even if he is a burly man, he will definitely not be able to survive if he fights for a long time. In my opinion, if he is encountering him, he can first fight with a leopard cavalry, consume his physical strength, and then face the enemy head-on with a tiger cavalry, so he will definitely be able to defeat him." Cao Ang Kaikai said.
From Cao Ren's narrative alone, Cao Ang analyzed the advantages of Mo Dao Bing and thought of ways to crack Mo Dao Bing. From this we can see that Cao Ang is not simple.
As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang is a versatile talent in literary and martial arts. You should know that Cao Ang was a filial and honest person in his twenties. Cao Pi likes martial arts, while Cao Zhi is good at literature, and Cao Ang can be said to be a combination of two younger brothers.
This is why Cao Ang was killed in Wancheng because Cao Cao's wife Ding directly turned against Cao Cao and refused to interact with him.
Cao Ang's biological mother is Mrs. Liu, who died shortly after giving birth to Cao Ang. In other words, Cao Ang was just Mrs. Ding's adopted son, because his adopted son turned against Cao Cao, this shows how outstanding Cao Ang is.
During the Han Dynasty, officials selected and used the system of recommendation and recommendation, and this filial and honesty was probably the top scholar in later generations. Cao Ang was elected as a filial and honesty in his youth, which generally means that he became the top scholar when he was less than 20 years old.
From this we can see that Cao Ang is a very capable person. It can be said that if Cao Ang had not died in Wancheng, Cao Pi would have no chance of inheriting the great cause of the Cao family.
After hearing Cao Ang's analysis, Cao Pi suddenly had the idea of avenging his previous shame.
"Brother, I still have two thousand leopard cavalry under my command, and I will borrow your five thousand tiger cavalry from me. Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to defeat the Mo Jianshe."
"No." As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Cao Ang immediately refused. He pondered for a moment and said, "If my father wants to achieve great things, he must need elite soldiers like Mo Daobing. According to General Cao Ren, half of the benefits of Mo Daobing are in this piece of equipment."
"The Great Po Mo Dao Soldier is far from enough. We have to find a way to surround the Mo Dao Soldier. It is best to persuade them to surrender. If you can't, you must wipe out them all, get their armor and weapons, and capture Li Siye alive. In this way, my Cao family will have another elite soldier."
"The eldest son said this is right. The armor and equipment of Mo Daobing is far better than our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and it can be called the magic weapon of the world." Cao Ren nodded and agreed.
Cao Ren is a general in Cao's army, so his strength is naturally good. Mo Daobing's armor and equipment could see at a glance that it was so sophisticated that it was far beyond the level of the equipment of Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The armor and equipment of Mo Daobing was made by the top craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was more than 300 years later than the Three Kingdoms period in the late Han Dynasty, and this was a technical accumulation of three hundred years. In this way, the equipment of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must not be comparable to that of Mo Daobing.
"In this way, brother has a plan?" Cao Pi asked excitedly.
At this time, the Cao brothers were still united. Among the two choices of "Dao Mo Bing" ashamed and getting the elite force of Mo Bing, Cao Pi naturally chose the latter.
Although this could not wash away the shame for Cao Pi, and it was Cao Ang who showed off, it was beneficial to the entire Cao family.
The person who raises the problem is responsible for solving the problem. This is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Since Cao Ang dares to make this suggestion, he naturally has immature small ideas in his heart.
"In this way, tomorrow my second brother leads his troops to the city to lower the war. Second brother, you are the defeated general of Li Chen. He will definitely not be afraid of you, and he will definitely send someone out of the city to fight."
"At that time, you are willing to lose but not win. Please take the defeat and retreat to lead the Mo Dao Army to pursue him. Then I will set up an ambush here and we will surround him. This Mo Dao Army must be our own pocket." Cao Ang said, pointing to the location five miles outside Xuzhou City on the map.
"Okay, let's follow my elder brother's plan. If I can add an elite soldier to my Cao family, I, Cao Pi, will not be defeated the last time, even ten or a hundred times." Cao Pi bowed and responded.
The next morning, dark clouds were covered with dark clouds, and the thunder of "rumbling" kept ringing, and God seemed to be brewing a heavy rain.
"Report..."
With a loud shout, the scout rushed into Yunlong Hall and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the commander of the palace, Cao Pi led 30,000 infantry invaders, and the vanguard troops have already arrived three miles away."
As soon as the scout finished speaking, Chen Deng, who was standing beside him, frowned and said, "Mr. Palace Master, look at the current weather, I am afraid that the heavy rain will come in less than an hour. Attacking on rainy days is a taboo in the march, and Cao Pi cannot be unclear. I am afraid there is a conspiracy in this."
"Hmph, soldiers come to block the water and soil."
"I'm just a defeated general, but I can still be afraid that he will not succeed."
"I inform all the generals, let's go to the city wall to see what he is doing." Li Chen snorted coldly and chuckled.
Under the city of Xuzhou, dark clouds pressed against the top.
Not far from the city, a soldier in black flags and black armor was already on guard. Under the commanding flag was Li Chen's defeated general Cao Pi.
Just at this moment.
"boom."
First, lightning flashed, and then thunder sounded.
"Crazy."
Heavy rain poured down.
Under the city of Xuzhou, raindrops the size of beans formed a rain curtain.
Above the Xuzhou city wall.
Li Chen stood on the city wall, behind him were civil and military officials such as Chen Deng and Li Siye.
"Li Chen, you are so shameless. After occupying a small Xuzhou, you dare to call yourself handsome. You really have a pig's nose that is so cute, so you can pretend to be an elephant."
......
......
Under the city, in the heavy rain, Cao Ren rode his horse and said some dirty words.
"The Palace Commander, the last general will ask for battle, and he will kill Cao Ren and his horse." Li Siye looked at Cao Ren under the city fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
"Why use the slaughter knife to kill a chicken? Xiao Cao Ren, why should General Siye take action? The last general Guan Sheng asked for a fight?" Guan Sheng paused the Yanyue Knife in his hand, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.
As the saying goes, the master was humiliated and his minister died. How could the generals under Li Chen tolerate Cao Ren so much?
"Lord, Cao's army is still calling under the city on such a heavy rain."
"This is deliberately angering the generals, I'm afraid there will be a conspiracy." Chen Deng reminded from the side.
