The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 536 The Power of Technology
When faced with a crazy enemy, some people will be afraid, while others will be aroused with anger and become even crazier.

The school knifeman is undoubtedly the latter.

The madness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was only partially due to their self-inspired determination to die, but more of it was due to them being forced and influenced by Cao Cao's talents.

The madness of the swordsman comes from his fanatical following of his commander, his own iron will, and his lack of worry about what will happen after his death.

After these elite soldiers died in battle, their families were treated very generously, with food and clothing guaranteed and a bright future. In addition, they also received special care from their commander.

It is extremely rare to be allowed by Tian Ze to exist as a general's "private soldier". They are almost directly bound to the main general and share weal and woe with him.

In fact, they are not afraid of death. After all, who would be willing to die if they can still live? But they dare to die.

And compared to death, what they feared more was Guan Yu’s death.

Once Guan Yu died, all their favorable treatment would disappear.

No matter how capable they are, they will never be able to make a comeback in the future as long as they have a rule that "the commander dies while serving as a personal guard."

No general would use such a soldier unless his ability was extremely strong.

Therefore, this step taken by Guan Yu completely ignited the swordsman's determination to die.

All the knifemen on campus threw away all thoughts and fell into madness.

No longer thinking about how to kill the enemy, their eyes were only focused on the countless cavalrymen in front of them, and there was only one thought in their minds.

Stop them!

Since you can't stop the impact of the warhorse, just rush over before the warhorse rushes over.

All the sword-wielding soldiers completely abandoned all defense and rushed directly towards the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, slashing at the horses' hooves with the swords in their hands or throwing them directly at the enemy.

Both sides fought with their lives at risk, and the terrible madness spread around like a contagious disease.

They no longer thought about killing the enemy. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry only wanted to charge into the enemy formation, and the School Swordmen only wanted to stop the charge.

With Guan Yu as the core, a Great Wall of flesh and blood was gradually built up.

At the same time, whistling sounds appeared above.

Cao Chun, who was at the rear of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, looked at the countless huge rocks flying from the sky and landing only twenty steps in front of him, his pupils filled with despair and disbelief.

How dare they!

It's not like he hasn't seen something like a catapult before.

It is powerful, but too heavy, has limited actual lethality, and has poor accuracy. It can mostly only be used to suppress the enemy and undermine enemy morale.

But now, they are fighting with the swordsmen of Guan Yu’s army!

The distance between him and Guan Yu was only a hundred steps.

In this situation, how dare the catapults attack? Aren't they afraid of accidentally hurting friendly forces?
If it were any other prince, it would be fine if they used this kind of fighting method that did not distinguish between friend and foe, but even he just used it as a helpless move under duress.

But the Qi army would never do this!
Now it’s not the time when the opponent is at the end of his rope!

However, Cao Chun soon understood why the Qi army did this.

Countless huge rocks fell one after another, but none of them hit the Qi army.

It accurately fell within a range of about thirty steps in front of him, with a line of about thirty steps in front and behind. There was almost no boulder that exceeded this area.

"The Qi army's catapults are so accurate?" Cao Chun said in disbelief.

In the center of the Qi army, Guo Jia saw this scene from afar, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

It's time to let the world feel the power of the various schools of thought once again!

Industry specializing in surgery.

Perhaps the abilities of the people from the Hundred Schools of Thought were not as comprehensive as those of Xun Yu, Mao Jie and others, but they all had their own unique characteristics.

The Yin-Yang School could predict the possibility of the enemy taking advantage of the weather, the Agricultural School could ensure the quality and quantity of military rations during transportation, and the Mohists and Gongshu School could create many powerful weapons. The catapults placed behind the front army were the masterpieces of the Mohists and Gongshu School.

We do not pursue range or power, but focus on accuracy, so that we can turn the tide and break the deadlock at such a critical moment.

A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest.

When two armies form a battle formation and face each other, as long as one side has an obvious gap in its formation, it will most likely lose.

This precise catapult can achieve this effect.

"Your Majesty is right. Technology has changed the way we fight. In future wars, long-range attacks and surprise attacks will undoubtedly be more cost-effective." Looking at the results achieved, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

Today's technology and craftsmen are increasingly valued in Da Qi.

Because whether in production, life or war, the role they play is becoming increasingly important, so important that all these ways have changed.

The improved logistics vehicle can not only transport more food and soldiers more conveniently, but also can be stuck in place and connected to each other by simply manipulating the mechanisms inside it.

Not only does it make it difficult for the enemy to plunder, but it can also be transformed into a temporary city wall to block the enemy.

The two wings and rear of Guan Yu’s army are now as strong as a rock thanks to him.

"Cao Mengde, it's not unfair for you to lose to His Majesty." Guo Jia said quietly.

If he were in the other's shoes, even he would be helpless.

Tian Ze can not only produce elite soldiers and equipment in large quantities, but also quickly light up the war technology tree and change the way the war is fought.

Fighting with such an opponent is like playing chess, when you suddenly discover that the opposite side has four chariots and six cannons, and the chariots can turn and the cannons can fire continuously.

How does this work?
No matter how well you master the art of chess, you cannot win.

Because victory or defeat is not determined on the chessboard at all. The opponent does not play according to the usual rules at all, but you still have to follow the rules.

Guo Jia understood and sympathized with Cao Cao and Cao Chun's feelings very well.

When you meet an opponent like Your Majesty, don't have any illusions.

"Sound the horn and withdraw the troops." Seeing this scene, Cao Cao sighed softly and said in a deep voice with a complicated tone.

"My lord, the outcome is not decided yet. Let me lead the guards to give it a try!" Upon hearing this, Li Dian's eyes turned red.

"No, there's no need. We can't win this battle, and there's no need to add more casualties." Cao Cao said calmly.

As an expert in commanding troops, he knew very well what the previous wave of attacks from catapults meant.

He never thought of fighting a war of attrition with Guan Yu because there was still a big gap in the quality of the troops on both sides.

In order to ensure the stability of the army, Tian Ze carried out many reforms on the military.

Although it made the army more well-behaved and its combat effectiveness was greatly restricted, it also made the army disciplined, strict and resilient.

He will not become fanatical because of greed for merit or passion, but he will not retreat because the situation is difficult.

It is extremely undesirable to fight a hard battle and a war of attrition with such an opponent, especially in a large-scale campaign.

The morale of Cao's army seems to be high now, but it is only temporary. After a long time, it will fade away and may even suffer a backlash.

Cao Cao's talent is not omnipotent. As time goes by, his soldiers are gradually regaining their sanity.

These two factors meant that Cao Cao had no money to fight a decisive battle, and his only hope was to break through Guan Yu's defense line and win in the chaos.

However, the current war situation has completely dashed this hope.

Tian Ze used the power of technology to teach Cao Cao a severe lesson.

Times have changed. In the face of new weapons, the previous tactics and strategies are not completely useless, but their effectiveness has been greatly reduced and need to be changed.
