Chapter 1506: The Battle of Xuzhou (103)

The captured equipment of the Xuzhou Army was there, even if Cao Cao didn't look at it, others couldn't help but take a few more looks, and in their hearts, they began to compare their own equipment with it early on.

The dragoon armor can't see anything, but the weapons used by the soldiers are different, although they are similar to the ring hand knives they use, but the texture is better, each one is sharper than the hundred ring hand knives used by some generals, especially the crossbow machine, the workmanship is exquisite, dozens of times or even hundreds of times stronger than the crossbow machine they use now, and people can shoot three arrows at a time, and the upper lead is light, a comparison, the difference is revealed, how can the crossbow machine not be fully suppressed on the battlefield?

The crossbow machine is the point that everyone pays the most attention to, many people will go up to touch it and take a look, especially Cao Cao, after taking it, he can't put it down, of course, for the crossbow machine, Cao Cao is very interested in all the blades, so he summoned the craftsmen with the army, asking if he can imitate or even surpass, but the answer he got in the end shocked him.

Xuzhou's weapons are not to mention surpassed, but it is difficult to imitate them, but the crossbow machine is different, they can be manufactured quickly, if it were not for the craftsmen who said that they could imitate the crossbow machine, Cao Cao would say that they were wasted, but because of this, Cao Cao was more eager to look forward to it, and he also paid more and more attention to the importance of weapons.

The craftsmen turned to leave, in the present, everyone's reaction was different, but most of them were pondering, many people were pondering the difference between them and the Xuzhou army, in fact, a long time ago, although they did not admit it, but they all acquiesced in their hearts that the Xuzhou army is the benchmark in the army, many of their ideas are very lofty, and they can make people's eyes shine when they see it.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they formed an army earlier, although they have been fighting with the Hu people, but the difference in war today may be different from the past, but the soldiers are the same, how to make war simple, this is the key.

And the facts are in front of them, once they believed that they could fight with the Xuzhou army, but the facts were in front of them, and the Xuzhou army was extremely difficult, which they had to admit, and it was still under the situation of fighting more and less, although they had achieved a brilliant victory in Langya, but this time in Pei County they fought with the real main force of Xuzhou, but they saw the gap, this gap is not only reflected in individual combat, but also in the gap in weapons, and these are the reasons why the Xuzhou army is extremely powerful.

"Our weapons, including armor, must be the same as the Xuzhou army in the future, and they must be better than them, in the future, our soldiers must not only be able to fight against the Xuzhou infantry, but also against their cavalry, dragoons!"

Several generals who have fought with the dragoon army in Pei County, have a deep experience, and fight with them, if the array is still possible to have a battle, but it is limited to this, if you want to take the initiative to attack, it is impossible, only rely on cavalry, use cavalry to deal with cavalry, this Cao Cao trained tiger and leopard cavalry is working hard, they are killer weapons, once the tiger and leopard cavalry appear, then we must give the dragoon a fatal blow, if such an opportunity does not appear, then the tiger and leopard cavalry will never appear in front of the world.

So now the most important thing is to compete with the Xuzhou infantry, maybe the Yanzhou army does not have much chance of winning now, but once the crossbow machine brings the strength of the two sides closer, then they are not without opportunities, of course, the most important thing is the weapons used by the Xuzhou army, which is too convenient, the durability and lethality are higher than the ring hand knife, and it is not clumsy, and even lighter than the ring hand knife.

Such a weapon, there is no general who does not love, even far more than the crossbow machine, but unfortunately, the craftsmen can not even imitate it, once Cao Cao sent a way-stealing spy to obtain the forging technique of the dragon riding armor, and now it is good, the Pu knife has become his most coveted weapon.

"Like Xuzhou, we must integrate the original iron-smelting workshop and set up an armory workshop to develop and produce the weapons needed by the army."

I don't know who suddenly spoke, Cao Cao glanced at Manzhong, nodded, and said, "Yes, we want to produce Xuzhou's Pu Dao, and we also want to produce weapons that surpass Pu Dao." "In fact, the craftsmen of the army are already the best craftsmen, they can't produce, in fact, they have already closed the door of their own smelting, but at this time he has to say this, to cheer everyone up, of course, he also knows one thing, that is, it is difficult to get the refining method of Pu Dao from Xuzhou, but if you can master their iron smelting method, it is very easy.

As the attackers said, if you want to practice good steel, the fire is the most important, obviously Xuzhou has made a breakthrough in this regard, and in Yanzhou, a key reason why they can't imitate it is that the fire can't meet the requirements of practicing the Pu knife, and even the hundred refining knives need to be repeatedly refined more than 100 times, and a hundred refining knives need to take more than a year.

How dare Cao Cao say these words, and even have to make the craftsmen have to keep them secret, and he has to raise morale in front of everyone, as if everything is easy, but everyone has confidence, but there is no solution.

Their current backwardness is all-round, and the situation is grim.

"Zilong!"

Shortly after Zhou Cang and Chen Feng returned to Feng County, Guan Yu summoned Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, who understood that this was their last chance.

At the beginning of the war, Guan Yu's analysis of Cao Cao's grain points was most likely in four places, one in Xiao County and one in Shanyang County, while the other two could be Shan Father County in Jiyin or Liang Guoyu County.

Now he can only gamble once, so this time he can only hand over this heavy task to Zhao Yun and his dragoons, first go to Yuxian County and then detour north to Shan Father, if you can find the enemy's grain store, then destroy, if you can't find it, then you can only return to the division, after all, this time it is a lone army to go deep, so unless you find the target, otherwise don't easily engage the enemy.

This time is too dangerous, Guan Yu thought about it, he could only send Zhao Yun to the expedition, first of all, the dragoons acted quickly, even if there was danger, they could evacuate and escape, and the infantry did not have this possibility, going deep behind the enemy was simply throwing themselves into the net, once discovered, no one would want to come back.

"The last general obeys!"

Zhao Yun took the military order, turned around and walked out of the conference hall.

At the same time, Liu Lan in Xuzhou received a message from Moling, Yan Baihu and his old rival Xu Gong abandoned their previous suspicions and joined forces to fight the enemy.

And the reason why Xu Gong is like this, although it is not possible to find out the specific situation, but there is news that Yan Baihu has led the army north, and he is going to form an alliance with Xu Gong and march to Moling.

Liu Lan, who read the paperwork, immediately had a headache, Wu Jun didn't solve it as soon as possible, and the follow-up trouble really came, although Xu Gong's pile of ashes had resurged, but the threat was not reached, at least he still trusted Zhang Jaw and Tai Shici very much, but Xu Gong could unite a Yan Baihu, there was nothing he couldn't do.

The captured equipment of the Xuzhou Army was there, even if Cao Cao didn't look at it, others couldn't help but take a few more looks, and in their hearts, they began to compare their own equipment with it early on.
