Chapter 446: 100,000 people make meat shields
Zhao Yun was waiting for Cao Cao to move.
And Cao Cao was also waiting for Zhao Yun to take the initiative to attack.
He had infantry in his hands, plus a hundred thousand civilians.
If there were no trenches, pits, thistles, etc., there was really no chance of victory in the face of cavalry.
If he moves, continue to lead the group.
There are no trenches and pits.
Neither can thistles and trippings.
They would face the onslaught of cavalry directly.
Even with a shield in hand, it is difficult to block.
"My lord, why don't you let the people go ahead."
Man Chong suggested, he also knew that time was pressing, they simply didn't have the capital, and they were procrastinating here.
Since Zhao Yun made it clear that he would not take the initiative to attack, they could only make another choice.
Zhao Yun can wait, they can't wait.
The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Cao Cao.
is not only whether he can go back, but also whether Yanzhou will be lost again.
Last time, Cao Cao was able to recapture Yanzhou, but it doesn't mean that he can succeed this time.
The meaning of full favor is already very clear.
It was these ordinary people who stood in front to see if Zhao Yun would make a move.
If Zhao Yun makes a move, it will only be the ordinary people who walk in front who will die.
If Zhao Yun doesn't make a move, then they can get out of Qingzhou and return to Yanzhou.
There are 100,000 people as meat shields, even if Zhao Yun makes a move, Cao Cao doesn't have to be afraid that he can't deal with Zhao Yun's cavalry.
A woman's kindness?
Here in Cao Cao, it will definitely not appear.
It is immoral to put the people in the front.
But at the suggestion of Man Chong, Cao Cao immediately made a decision.
He needs these 100,000 people, but he also has to bring these 100,000 people back to Yanzhou.
What you can't bring back doesn't belong to you.
To die is to die.
Cao Cao would not hesitate to even slaughter the city. Not to mention just using these people as a shield.
For Cao Cao, this is really not a big deal.
He can give good treatment to the people, but he will sacrifice them if necessary.
I'd rather let me bear the people of the world, and let the people of the world bear me.
It doesn't come as a surprise to someone who thinks this way.
He dared to take revenge, he dared to slaughter cities, he dared to burn mountains, and he also dared to let the people serve as meat shields.
After accepting Man's favor's suggestion, Cao Cao began to set it up.
In order to prevent the people who walked in front from escaping, Cao Cao also arranged a small group of soldiers to mix in with them.
At the same time, the people who are in front are also dragging their families.
Even if they run, their families won't be able to run away.
This kind of thing is not very good-looking.
If it is spread out, it will definitely have a huge impact on Cao Cao's reputation.
But Cao Cao didn't care.
He has the same name, but it has not reached the point of Yuan Shao.
And this kind of thing, how to say it, still depends on their own mouth.
Zhao Hui said here that Cao Cao was despicable, using the people as shields and meat shields.
Cao Cao can also say that he only escorted the displaced people to Yanzhou.
However, when they were attacked by Zhao Hui's cavalry, most of the displaced people were killed.
Only a small percentage of people will know the truth of the matter.
Most people always hear what they hear.
Some people believe in Zhao Hui, and some people choose to believe in Cao Cao.
"General, Cao Jun has moved."
A mile away, Zhao Yun had been paying attention to Cao Jun's movements.
Seeing Cao Cao let the people walk in front, Zhao Yun's brows were also furrowed.
Although Zhao Yun is an invincible general, he will never be soft on the battlefield.
But he couldn't stab his spear into the bodies of ordinary people.
Cao Cao asked more than 10,000 people to walk in front as a meat shield.
If Zhao Yun took three thousand cavalry to attack, he would inevitably hurt these people.
Unless his cavalry does not charge.
But if this is the case, it will be Zhao Yun and his three thousand cavalry who will die.
Zhao Yun now looks like he has only two options.
Either way, they will kill the people who are in front of them.
Either give up and let Cao Cao's men pass.
Not only were there people in front, but there were 10,000 ordinary people on both sides of Cao's army and in the rear.
It is impossible for Zhao Yun to want to keep Cao Jun without hurting ordinary people.
Whether it is a close-range charge or a long-distance shot with a bow and crossbow, it will kill many ordinary people by mistake.
"General, what should I do?" Zhao Hu asked.
"Wait." Zhao Yundao.
He really couldn't do anything to these ordinary people.
has been by Zhao Hui's side for several years, and has also had a great impact on Zhao Yun.
Zhao Hui often told them that the army is used to protect their country and protect the people.
No matter how great the difficulties are, they cannot kill the people, nor can they rob the people of a stitch.
Soldiers who kill civilians indiscriminately will be executed.
Those who dare to reach out and take the people's property will also be severely punished.
It's not just Zhao Yun who can't do it now.
The 3,000 cavalry who followed him also did not want to attack these people.
Their thinking is already significantly different from that of Yuan Jun and Cao Jun.
Do you want to go on?
Zhao Yun was hesitant, but in fact, he had a choice in his heart.
He couldn't have done anything to them.
So he had only one choice, to let Cao Cao leave with these people.
There were too few people in Zhao Yun's hands, and they were all cavalry.
He took 3,000 cavalry and walked around Cao's army and the people.
Cao Cao's team was not moving fast.
Although Zhao Yun didn't move now, Cao Cao couldn't be sure whether Zhao Yun would make a move.
Along the way, he is also on guard against Zhao Yun all the way.
Prevent Zhao Yun from suddenly killing.
It's the same as before to prevent Xu Huang from setting fire.
Cao Cao felt that Xu Huang would not set fire, and Zhao Yun would not attack these people.
But in the end, it's just a feeling, not a guarantee.
Cao Cao will not be careless.
He wasn't just paying attention to Zhao Yun walking around the team.
I am also paying attention to the periphery, and the people who are used as meat shields.
At this moment, the most panicked unintentional ones are these people.
They are afraid that they will be killed.
They walked very slowly.
Nor did they dare to flee.
Let's not talk about the Cao army in the back, when he saw them fleeing, would he rush over and kill them.
Their families are still in the Chinese army.
Zhao Yun is also still looking for opportunities.
He wanted to disperse the people.
couldn't find a chance, so he could only let Cao Cao go back.
A simple command to attack, at the moment requires not only great courage, but also the maximum pressure on your back.
This kind of trick, for some people, is not of any use at all. On the contrary, because of these meat shields, their formation will be confused.
If Cao Cao used this method, it would be Dong Zhuo who would be dealing with it now.
Dong Zhuo had already rushed over directly with the Xiliang Iron Horse.
With Dong Zhuo's brutality, even if all these 100,000 people were slaughtered, there would be no guilt in his heart.
The soldiers in his hands will even cut off the heads of these innocent people, as their own military exploits, to show off, to ask for rewards.
Dong Zhuo, who goes back, will tell everyone that he defeated the enemy's 120,000 army with 3,000 cavalry.
But now it is Zhao Yun who is facing this situation.
