Cao Cao waved his hand and let the soldiers who were trying the knife leave the tent. （)

Cao Cao looked at the Han knife, stirrups, horseshoe and saddle on the ground, and although his heart was unbalanced, he withdrew the Han knife and looked at it carefully. Seeing that the blade of the Han knife was as bright as new, without the slightest notch, he couldn't help but praise it. If the soldiers under his command all have this kind of combat knife, when they conquer Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places, how powerful it will be!

After thinking about it, Cao Cao instructed: "Miaocai, you immediately send a team of cavalry to send a few war knives back to Yanzhou, so that Wen Ruo can send craftsmen to study this kind of war knife well, and strive to forge such a sharp war knife as soon as possible." ”

"No!"

After Xiahou Yuan heard this, he left with his fists clenched and went to convey the order.

The appearance of the 'Han Knife' was definitely a great stimulus to Cao Cao. Although his infantry could not defeat Wang Can's infantry soldiers, he successfully obtained Wang Can's most important weapon, which was a great advantage for Cao Cao. However, whether or not such a sharp sword as the 'Han Knife' can be forged depends on the ability of the craftsmen under Cao Cao's command.

After Xiahou Yuan left, Cao Cao said again: "Zhicai, Wang Can has a rich background, not only has sharp swords, but their cavalry is also extremely fierce, and now there is Gao Shun leading the trapping camp to attack, it is difficult to defeat, do you have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Lord, if you deal with Gao Shun's trapped camp, there is a plan to break it." Gao Shun's trap camp is a heavy armor soldier, which is difficult to move, and we can use the knife cart to defeat the trap camp. ”

"Knife cart?"

After Cao Cao heard this, a suspicious look appeared on his face.

Cao Cao said: "Zhicai, the knife cart is both tall and large, and extremely heavy, it takes at least dozens of soldiers to push, such a huge weapon is generally used to defend the city gate, how can it be used to attack the trapped camp?" ”

The ancient knife cart was a two-wheeled vehicle that was built extremely strongly.

The body of the car is large and wide, almost the same width as the city gate, the width of the ordinary knife car is between three and four zhang, and there are four layers of wooden frames in front of the car, and each layer of wooden frame is fixed with six sharp knives, which are extremely sharp. There were long wheels in the back of the car for the soldiers to push. With such a huge hull, once the enemy breaches the city gate, the soldiers can push the knife cart to block the city gate.

Since twenty-four steel knives were fixed in front of each knife cart, once pushed out, the lethality was very high. In addition, the knife cart is huge and heavy, and the impact force is very large, whether it is cavalry or infantry, as long as it touches the knife cart, there is no possibility of sparing.

However, the disadvantage of the knife cart is also obvious, even if it has two wheels, it is difficult to push quickly.

After Li Dian and Le Jin heard this, they also showed puzzled expressions.

The two armies fought, and when the knife cart was pushed up, the soldiers were probably all running away, and there was no chance to kill the enemy.

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, if you want to deal with the trapped camp, in addition to the heavy cavalry, you can only use knife carts. We could not form a heavy cavalry in a short period of time, so we had to break the formation with sword carts. Although the knife cart is heavy and huge, we can simplify it a little and make it smaller and more flexible, as long as the lethality of the knife cart is guaranteed. ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Zhicai's words are also reasonable, make the knife car smaller, and you can move quickly." Well, according to Zhicai's words, he sent soldiers to build a knife cart overnight to meet the trapped camp. ”

"Step! Trample! Trample! ”

Outside the tent, footsteps came, and Xiahou Yuan strode in.

Xiahou Yuan saluted Cao Cao and said, "My lord, the drama division has a way to deal with the trapped camp, but how should the cavalry and infantry under Wang Can's command deal with it?" Zhao Yun led the broken military camp to be trapped once, it is impossible to be trapped a second time, besides, the infantry under Wang Can has sharp swords, and it is difficult for our foot soldiers to win. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded yes.

This battle with Wang Can was because Cao Cao used sword and shield soldiers and Changge soldiers to entangle Zhao Yun's broken military camp, and then used cavalry to deal with Wang Can's infantry, so he had an advantage, and once he couldn't drag Zhao Yun's broken military camp, it would be difficult to defeat Wang Can.

After Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, several people in the big tent fell silent.

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, after the knife cart becomes light, it can be used to attack the trapped camp, why can't it be used to attack the broken barracks?" As long as the soldier pushing the knife cart picks up his speed and rushes towards the broken barracks with the knife cart. At that time, the cavalry of the broken army camp led by Zhao Yun were all poked by the knife car, and there was absolutely no possibility that they would not be spared. ”

"That's right! I didn't think of that. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The knife cart relies on the twenty-four steel knives in front of the frame to defeat the enemy, not only can attack the trapped camp, but also can attack the broken military camp, as long as you build more knife carts, and when the two armies are fighting, directly push out the knife cart, rush to the broken military camp and the trapped camp, and then use the cavalry to charge Wang Can's infantry, still have an advantage.

Cao Cao pondered carefully in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

Chang'an City, inside the Imperial City.

In the side hall of the palace, Liu Xie sat on the main seat, and Dong Chenghe sat below.

Liu Xie said: "Fu Qing, Dong Qing, the soldiers who probed the news sent back the news that Wang Can and Cao Cao were fighting each other and fought a decisive battle. The two sides each withdrew their troops and prepared to fight again, which is good news, as long as the two of them are defeated in the end, we can sit firmly in Chang'an and do not need to be threatened by Wang Can and Cao Cao. ”

After finishing his fists, he said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, this is God bless Your Majesty!" ”

Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, Wang Can and Cao ** are good things, but someone must be stationed in Chang'an, otherwise one of the two will be defeated and the other will be defeated, and in the end, Yang Feng will surrender to Kaicheng, and Your Majesty can only cry out in vain." Therefore, it is necessary to envelop Yang Feng and let him stabilize Chang'an, so as to keep Chang'an alive. ”

Liu Xie said: "Dong Qing's words are reasonable, so I will send someone to send a message to condolences to Yang Feng, so that he can have a good life and 'recuperate'." ”

When it came to the word 'recuperation', Liu Xie almost gritted his teeth.

Although the weather has entered autumn, it is still hot, and Yang Feng, a military general with five big and three thick, has a burly body, and it is impossible to easily suffer from the wind and cold. Moreover, Liu Xie also got the news that Yang Feng was alive and kicking around in the house, eating and drinking well, and messing with his wife and concubines all day long.

Liu Xie was not angry, but he still found a eunuch, gave a few orders, and asked the eunuch to send an edict to appease Yang Feng.

After the eunuch left the palace, Liu Xie said: "Dong Qing, you were originally a general under Dong Zhuo, and there are also some generals and soldiers under your command, you talk to them, and bring them over for my use." Don't be stingy with high-ranking officials, as long as they are willing to be used by me, everything else can be discussed. ”

"No!"

Dong Cheng replied with his fists clenched and agreed.

Liu Xie said again: "Fu Qing, you are quite influential in the court, and you must stabilize the civil and military officials in the court." At the same time, with regard to officials with military power, whether by means of coercion and inducement or by other means, we must win over officials with military power to enhance our strength. ”

"The old minister obeys!"

After bowing his hand, he agreed, with an excited look on his face.

Liu Xie's ability to cheer up again is good news for Fu Wan, after all, his daughter Fu Shou is Liu Xie's queen, Liu Xie is affected, and Fu Shou will also be hurt.

Liu Xie saw that Dong Chenghe had agreed to come down, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare." Only by completing it as soon as possible can we calmly deal with Cao Cao or Wang Can's attack on Chang'an. Well, during this time, you take care of the people under your command, don't take the initiative to provoke Yang Feng, we still have to rely on Yang Feng to garrison Chang'an, and we must not make mistakes, you know? ”

"The old minister obeys!"

The two stood up in reply, then turned to leave.

Liu Xie watched the two leave, his eyes narrowing slightly. He always thought that Wang Can and Cao Cao would join forces to attack Chang'an, but he didn't expect that the two would fight outside the city, which made Liu Xie have a little hope in his heart, expecting that if the two of them lost both, he would be able to sit firmly in Chang'an and not be afraid of the two attacking.
