164 captured prisoners of war
Inside Huangfu Song's military tent. Based on the scout's scouting, Huangfu Song got a piece of news that he didn't expect.
"Reserves?" Huangfu Song asked a junior colonel below.
"Yes, General, this is the case for me to investigate. According to what those children told me, in the previous battle, the Red Turban Army hid a large number of reserves, the number was about 2,000, they were hidden in the rear, our army could not detect at all, when our army entered the critical moment, immediately put into the reserves, it could have a huge impact, our army could not bear it, and then caused a crushing defeat. The colonel replied. In fact, they are also chasing the wind, but it is by relying on this kind of chasing the wind and shadows that they get an unbelievable result, reserves, this is the first time Huangfu Song has heard such a word.
"What else? Report it together. Huang Fu Song said. Immediately, the little school had no choice but to tell Huangfu Song how they had learned about such a situation.
Actually, this information came from a very unexpected situation, which was a war game played by a group of children. Many people are beginning to know about some of the processes on the battlefield, such as: Stories from a soldier, and stories from a soldier to children, are very true. But it taught the child a lesson, and this lesson was leaked out of it unintentionally.
For example, in the reserves, the children did not know what was happening on the battlefield, and the soldiers did not know what was happening at that time, but the situation they saw was naturally different from different angles, and of course the soldiers of the reserve naturally explained the value of the existence of the reserves. And those soldiers who are fighting, they naturally tell them such things from their first point of view, and these things directly lead to the leakage of such a situation in the reserves, and those officers have no idea that such a thing will happen, and they don't know why this situation has happened.
These scouts, in order to maximize their access to information, start with different groups of people, and it is naturally easy to get their hands on them. This is what information is obtained from different people's mouths.
Because their commanders, in order to get more information they wanted, did not restrict them too much from collecting that kind of material.
"You go down first." Huangfu Song waved his arm, and the little colonel went down quickly.
"General, this reserve should be an ambush. The Red Turbans may have had this intention before the war. A general stepped forward at this time and said.
"Hmm." Huang Fu Song just snorted, some specific situations, Huang Fu Song still needs to be carefully analyzed, but Huang Fu Song got the information from those mouths, it seems that this is not done yet, this may be the Red Turban Army intentionally, why they do this, they have their own specific reasons, for example, before the war, they have done this, and it seems that during training, they have deliberately done so, and the specific release time can also be decided according to some situations on the battlefield, which shows that The ambush was not done unintentionally, but intentionally.
After all, in this era of warfare, there is no such practice as a special reserve, usually they will ambush the ambush, and the ambush is still a certain difference from the specific reserve, the ambush is a difficult task, that is, the deployment of troops on the battlefield is fully completed. But the reserves are set aside for a variety of tasks, but it is indeed what they should do to leave mobile forces. In such a situation, with the mechanism of reserves, the combat effect of the Red Turban Army will be greatly strengthened, which is obviously a situation that Huang Fu Song did not expect under the ancient war way of thinking.
And Cao Cao is also thinking about this. He believes that the ambush is not a simple ambush, the other side may have other combat missions, if the other party is deliberately doing this, then the secret of the Red Turban Army is very big.
"I think it should be an ambush, otherwise how could they be so accurate in ambush combat, the cavalry and infantry cooperate in battle, this has never been done before, this caught us off guard. If this were not the case, the Red Turban Army would have been defeated. Some generals still want to do some things on the scene, but Huangfu Song is already very dissatisfied with this. After all, if they fail once, they naturally don't want to continue to fail, and learning lessons is an important basis for avoiding the next failure, but these generals are still looking for reasons, which is really a ridiculous approach.
"Alright. Go down. Huang Fu Song waved his arm to signal, and the generals had to retreat after listening to the order, and Huang Fu Song was still thinking about this matter. There are too many secrets in this army. And these secrets will directly lead to a big change in their situation, how to solve it. Huang Fu Song felt that it was very tricky, and as the reconnaissance intelligence became more and more in-depth, they would know more and more about it.
In the guerrilla zone, scouts of the officers and soldiers quietly lurked in this area, and they gradually approached, wanting to reconnoiter some of the situation of the Red Turban Army. As long as they provide some reliable information every day, they will be provided with some wine and meat, and then take a good rest for two days, this kind of treatment makes them feel very excited, because they usually do not have such treatment, only during the war, wine and meat will be provided to them, and now, they feel that with such a thing, it is still better.
"Be careful, don't let anyone find out. Those thieves, too thieves. Yang Yun whispered to his younger brother.
"Oh." Yang Xiao nodded, the two brothers came to join the army, and they were forced to do so. They were all Orions before. It's a pity that the taxes are too heavy. They simply couldn't survive and had to join the army. At least they can be born together, they just happened to encounter the Yellow Turban Thieves, they have a war to fight, Orion is good, as long as they are a little ** in the army, they can be quickly promoted, in that case, they may also change their fate.
"Brother, I'll go over there and have a look." Yang Xiao is still young and is taken care of by his brother everywhere, which makes him feel very annoyed, because the army eats by ability, and relies on his brother, is that also ability?
"Ah Xiao, Ah Xiao." Yang Yun shouted anxiously to the other party. For this younger brother, he takes care of him very much, to be honest, if he is not at ease, he will never let the other party join the army, because it is easy to have an accident.
"Ahh A miserable scream came, Yang Xiao was angry, there was no abnormality at all, otherwise, he would have prevented such a thing from happening, but unfortunately, things came too quickly, too suddenly, he couldn't react at all and fell into the trap all of a sudden. This was a real surprise for him.
"Ah Xiao." Yang Yun shouted anxiously, he knew that this was the way of the Red Turban Army. This is a very dangerous thing, and if that happens, one person will die. Yang Yun would rather die himself than watch his younger brother die. Parents died young. His parents entrusted this younger brother to him before they died, and he must take care of him, otherwise, he will not be able to live.
"Catch it alive." Suddenly, at this time, a lot of straw men appeared, and if they hadn't approached, they wouldn't have noticed that it was actually a human lying on the ground.
"Ah Xiao." Yang Yun was very anxious, and he immediately took out a short knife to save people at this time.
"Don't move, if you move again, we'll blow him up." Several straw men around looked at each other with knives and guarded eyes.
"Let my brother go, I'll go with you." Yang Yun said excitedly. His eyes were red, for he saw a man holding a fire, and if he lit something that would explode, his brother would surely not be killed.
"Brother, as long as we live, we don't kill people casually, but if you cooperate, we can't do anything." A straw man said.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Yang Yun felt that these Red Turban Army was not bad, and he heard that when cleaning the battlefield, the other party collected the corpses of the dead on his side and buried them. To be before, it was simply impossible. Because the other party's corpse had already been cut off and the head was invited. But the other party was able to protect their bodies, and the name tag was still hanging on the tombstone, which made the officers and soldiers feel very strange, not only that, but I heard that some injured people were also rescued by the other party. Heal their wounds. These are things they never dared to think of, because once they are captured, the power of life and death is all in the hands of the other party, as long as they want to do it, they can definitely kill them. It is simply unthinkable when they will be returned to collect the corpses and treat the wounded.
From this point, Yang Yun felt that this Red Turban Army was benevolent and righteous, and it was a matter of words.
"We just asked two instructors to teach us something, of course. We will not make it difficult for you if you wish. A straw man said.
"I'll go with you and let him go. Don't embarrass them. Yang Yun said.
"This, I'm afraid it's not good, we're afraid of accidents, we can see, you have the ability, but we can't stop you, of course. You've gotten to the place. That brother's treatment will not be very bad. Rest assured, we won't force you into battle. A straw man promised.
"Okay. If you play something else, I'm welcome. Yang Yun threatened, and then had to follow them. Yang Yun didn't resist, for the sake of his younger brother, he endured these things. As for what kind of treatment the Yellow Turbans can give them, that's their business.
These straw men were the auspicious clothes issued by Shang Wu, and even hunters like Yang Yun didn't notice it when they got close. If they had something like that, maybe they could do it too.
Moreover, their faces were covered with mud and ash at the bottom of the pot, which made him unable to see what each other looked like. Yang Yun already has a certain understanding of why the other party did this, because this can indeed bring good results, plus the situation of their clothes and disguises, Yang Yun feels that this is definitely something that a veteran should do, but why does the other party still ask the instructor, or from the hands of these officials and soldiers, this is not something he can understand. Perhaps they have some factors of their own to consider such a situation.
And the equipment they are equipped with is all that Shangwu came up with for them temporarily, and the auspicious clothes are made of burlap bags, and of course there are some broken fishing nets. But there aren't a lot of that kind of things, and the bottom of the pot is what they came up with. These are good camouflages, but such camouflage is still very preliminary, and it is still difficult to solve such a thing.
Lijiazhuang Arsenal.
"How?" Shangwu asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, there are some things, ** has made significant improvements." An old craftsman said this as he looked at the drawings. These old craftsmen will concentrate on half an hour every day to learn, Shang Wu will teach some of their most basic things, such as patent law, tell them the meaning of invention and creation, and technical boundaries, etc., in addition to some other things, such as the production of engineering drawings, these are the simplest things, Shang Wu taught them over and over again, just hope that they can understand those drawings, so that they can do many things well.
"Is that okay?" Zhang Qing was still very worried. After all, he is the director of the arsenal.
"It should be possible, like this lighter, this one has it on it. We can use things like this to make them, mainly the device of the spring, which we have made a lot of, and it should be possible. The old craftsman said.
"If you can, let them give it a try, and that's a big encouragement for us." Shang Wu said.
"Well, okay, just do it." Zhang Qing nodded and agreed. The design drawings submitted by Shang Wu were for an improved flintlock pistol. Some of the detailed parts were disassembled in detail, and in fact, it wasn't that difficult, and they thought it should be possible.
The key difficulty of the flintlock pistol lies in the construction of the barrel, in order to increase the number of barrels, drilling is one method, and another method is also underway, that is, the barrel is made into an iron sheet, and then a little bit of it is circled to build again, this way is even faster than the speed of drilling, after all, the technology of drilling is not mature enough, and there are a large number of blacksmiths in the hands of the martial arts, they are familiar with their own skills, for the new technology, although they also believe, but the problem is that it is limited by the current technology, It is still difficult to further develop the drilling technology, and only the casting of artillery can have such a possibility.
"Sir, we've already started experimenting with the steam engine. But the effect is still good. We made a look. Zhang Qing said with a smile. It was as if he was asking for credit.
"Oh. I'll take a look. Shang Wu said.
