182 opportunities to make a difference
It's good that a lot of officers are able to recognize their own shortcomings, because it's a huge improvement for officers, and with this kind of progress, they can change themselves positively, and learning is the best way. This top-down learning atmosphere will drive their military to make a lot of changes. The troops that have always been good at learning are the most terrible troops, because they find their own shortcomings in the process of continuous learning, and then change themselves and make themselves more adaptable, which is the army that adapts to the needs of development. If nothing changes, this will bring the most terrible place to this army.
Huangfu Song's Chinese military camp tent.
"This is His Majesty's order. We must not disobey. Huang Fu Song put the order on the table, and then walked back and forth thinking about the problem, for the next attack plan, Huang Fu Song has not yet finalized. Although the morale of the army has stabilized for the time being. However, some soldiers are still suspicious, and the effect of catching ghosts is far from eliminating the knots in the hearts of the soldiers, at least this kind of large-scale massacre seems to be no longer possible. This is because the soldiers already have a big shadow in their hearts, and under such circumstances, it is very difficult to eliminate the soldiers' spirit of opposing war.
"Go south, isn't it possible to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Quyang now?" Zhu Jun asked.
"Send troops to exterminate the same." Huangfu Song said angrily. This kind of multi-task thing, Huang Fu Song is difficult to deal with, because there are many tasks, which means that they have to do more things at the same time, which means that their forces are scattered, and this dispersion will be very bad. This means that Huang Fu Song's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and in the face of such a situation, Huang Fu Song will be difficult to deal with.
"How do we deal with this?" Zhu Jun asked Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song's ability to command operations surpassed Zhu Jun's. This has been shown in the previous battles against the Yellow Turban Army.
"I, I don't know." Huangfu Song shook his head and said. From a soldier's point of view, he is to follow orders. However, from the point of view of a general, he was reluctant to accept such an order. Outside the generals, the military order is not subject to it. Huang Fu Song has clearly felt that the danger of this kind of thing will be very high. Dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers, and the emperor's order is to let him divide his troops. He had been reluctant to accept such an order before.
"If you divide the troops, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by the Red Turban Army. At that time, our army will be defeated. Huang Fu Song said. Zhu Jun nodded, because the support operation would inevitably send a part of the troops south, and in such a process, it would inevitably be attacked by the Red Turban Army. According to the combat effectiveness of the Red Turban Army, it will inevitably be eaten. Even if it is not eaten, it will be consumed by a lot of troops inside. Huangfu Song passed by there, and he was well aware of the situation. He knew that better than anyone else.
"We can't do this kind of thing." Huangfu Song shook his head and waved his hand and said. Then he sat behind the desk and looked at the orders on the desk. But His Majesty's order is not easy to disobey directly. This is simply a huge disaster for them. One is to the south, the other is to the north, the forces are obviously separated, there is a huge time difference in between, once used by the Red Turban Army, the result can be imagined, they will suffer unprecedented losses, this loss, will inevitably lead to their huge defeat, Huangfu Song must face such a situation. It's support, that's not support. If he chooses the latter, he may be directly removed from the military power and replaced by Zhu Jun. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun both knew the temper of their majesty. If you don't obey the command, you will be replaced by someone who obeys the command.
And after replacing Zhu Jun, what is the situation? I'm afraid I will do it again, and in the end it will fail. Zhu Jun can think of this, and Huangfu Song can naturally think of this.
"Why don't we plan for our generals?" Zhu Jun thought about it and put forward such an opinion.
"Oh?" Huang Fu Song seemed very interested in wanting to know what it was.
"Our army can order the cavalry and infantry to fight north, quickly defeat the Yellow Turban Army, and blow open the city gate with firearms to force the Yellow Turban thieves to disperse and flee. Then the army pursued and killed in the rear. Zhu Jun suggested. Huangfu Song imagined the entire battle plan. So. The pursuit is much better than their siege plan, because if they pursue, the enemy will continue to flee, if they resist, the chain of horses will completely defeat them, and the infantry behind will continue to pursue and kill them, so that the name of slaughter will be gone. They just chase and kill the enemy, and as for how long and how much to kill, this is not a problem that they can solve. It can be said that Zhu Jun's suggestion is in line with Huang Fu Song's thoughts, because Huang Fu Song's attitude towards the Yellow Turban Thief is one word, kill. And the appearance of those cartoons made their soldiers a little jealous, but this does not mean that Huangfu Song has no choice. Encirclement operations can obtain a large number of prisoners of war, but defeat operations can be a large-scale pursuit of fleeing enemies, although the latter may seem more troublesome, but can be exempted from war punishment, and may be more effective in pursuit.
"Hmm." Huangfu Song nodded, indicating that he accepted such a method of warfare.
"And our army went south all the way, not seeking to advance quickly, but only to enter it slowly, dragging, attracting the attention of the Red Turban Army, so that they could not eat us, they have been surrounding us, and we have been constantly advancing, so as to attract a large number of Red Turban Army around, and then after our northern army ate the Yellow Turban Army, it quickly moved south, and the two armies finally converged. Completely defeat the main forces of the Red Turban Army gathered around. Zhu Jun said.
"Hmm. A good one will be calculated. Huangfu Song nodded and said. Then the two began to discuss the specific details of how to seduce. How to fool the Red Turban Army, etc., these need to be specifically arranged.
Yuan Shao's lieutenant tent in the middle military academy.
"I don't recommend dividing up my forces to attack the Red Turban Army, the Red Turban Army is more difficult to deal with than the Yellow Turban Army." Cao Cao shook his head and said. For this good buddy of his own, he persuaded him so hard that he had already seen that the Red Turban Army was far more difficult to deal with than the Yellow Turban thieves, because there were many places that they did not know, and it was because of these unclear that they would suffer extremely heavy losses. He didn't want Yuan Shao to make such a fatal mistake. Because such mistakes can lead to great costs.
"This is an opportunity I am waiting for, if I can't grasp it, I will regret it." Yuan Shao persuaded. In Yuan Shao's view, the Red Turban Army was just a rabble, and it was a joke to gather a few thousand people to attack the county seat. Therefore, Yuan Shao's understanding of the threat of the Red Turban Army was far worse than Cao Cao's, after all, he did not seriously observe all the military actions of the Red Turban Army.
Cao Cao's view is that the military of the Red Turban Army is far higher than that of the official army, and many things have never been encountered, which is obviously different from the Yellow Turban Army.
"The Red Turban Army has an extremely strict military system, it's not something we can compare, just from the information that the scouts have investigated, it's much higher than ours." Cao Cao said.
"Twelve of them can organize a skirmish. The twelve men were able to divide into two groups and work closely with each other, and they were all farmers, and in addition to that, there were a large number of new weapons, which our army had not yet obtained. Don't know how to fight? I don't agree to that. Cao Cao shook his head and said. The Red Turbans gave him the impression that there was more to him than that, so far they had not captured a single prisoner, and judging from the intelligence of the scouts, it seemed that they had organized all the surrounding villages to form a huge battle system. This is Cao Cao's first feeling, although this feeling can't have a lot of favorable evidence to prove it, but in fact, he already thinks that there is such a situation, and in the face of such a situation, how could Cao Cao let Yuan Shao attack. This is absolutely impossible.
"Mengde. You're worrying too much. This is a war feat, and we are waiting for the new army in the West Garden, it is the time to make meritorious contributions and share worries for Your Majesty, so frustrated, is it the husband's doing? Yuan Shao expressed great disdain for Cao Cao's concern. He believes that this is a good time for them to make contributions, and Cao Cao's move is not advisable for them. Cao Cao's rationality was exchanged for Yuan Shao's disdain. Cao Cao didn't explain these things well, because Yuan Shao couldn't listen to some words at all at this time.
Inside the barracks.
Jian Shuo was also discussing the same topic.
"Your Majesty summoned us to make meritorious contributions and share your Majesty's worries, and this is the time for us to share your Majesty's worries, and we are actively asking for war. Take down and sweep away the red turban thieves. Jian Shuo said indignantly. As if the Red Turban Army had provoked a great deal of hatred against him, his subordinates nodded their heads in agreement. They believe that this move is exactly what they want.
"I'm willing to share your Majesty's worries." The following generals have spoken.
Lijiazhuang. Shang Wu is showing Jia Xu their new weapon. Balloon. However, he only temporarily put on a small hot air balloon like a Kong Ming lantern. Underneath is an alcohol lamp. For control, Shang Wu also hung a rope.
"It's done according to the principle of air expansion and contraction, alcohol, you know, disinfect, but if we use a lot of alcohol for something like this, our soldiers will kill us. And it takes too many raw materials, which is very undesirable for us, but we can do it with other things. For example, this one. Shang Wu said and took out the yellow gasoline. This is due to the difference in oil quality. Being able to have such a color already shows that the quality of gasoline is very, very good.
"What does it smell like?" Jia Xu asked.
"Gasoline. However, this fuel is so volatile that we just used it to ignite it at first. The latter is basically kerosene, which is relatively stable. As long as that's it. Shang Wu said and showed off the hot air balloon.
"We can make something like an airship, which is a huge strip, and then people operate the propellers on it, so that with a certain thing, we just throw a lot of hands on it, and we can give each other a big blow." Shang Wu said.
"I've had people try to do that. There are also some wooden shelves, and if we do that, we will have our own air force. Shang Wu said.
"This." Jia Xu looked at the floating hot air balloon, which gave him a big shock, if this thing is enlarged without limit, it means that people can stand on it and fly. This is something they have never thought of and dare not think of.
"Me, can we really fly into the air?" Jia Xu asked in an incredulous tone.
"Of course, this is inevitable, this is just the most primitive kind of aircraft, if our development acceleration is fast enough, maybe we can still see satellites fly into space when we are old, as long as we live long enough, science and technology develop fast enough, there is a certain amount, you Lao Jia and I may sit in front of the TV and watch human rockets fly into space. In that case, it's really different. Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Television? Isn't space in the heavens? Jia Xu looked at Shang Wu in confusion, there were too many, too many unknown things appeared on Shang Wu. Jia Xu felt that he couldn't see through Shangwu anymore.
"Hmm. It is a kind of clairvoyance, something like the ear of the wind, how to say, it is to show what you see thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away, in front of you, just like a mirror, in a special way. It's a pretty amazing technology. Shang Wu explained.
"However, to master this technology, we must first master electricity, with electricity, we can become more lightweight, I can't master electricity at the moment, but I think it won't be long before I can do this." Shang Wu said.
"Oh. I'll wait, but at that point, make sure you call me. Jia Xu said. Because he found that following Shangwu could know many, many things that he didn't know.
And Shang Wu has been really busy lately, he is busy getting sulfuric acid, and he found that the coal they are digging has a considerable amount of sulfur, and if he can, he can refine some sulfuric acid, and with sulfuric acid, he can make many, many things. For example, batteries, and then he can electrolyze more of what he wants, chemistry is a very magical thing, and at the same time, he can also make all kinds of acidic materials, in that case, the power of ** will be raised to a whole new level. It's a terrible thing.
Jia Xu also knew, because he found that Shangwu would disappear for a period of time every day, and he had a room that no one was allowed to approach.
