Most people watch Nuo dances, burn firecrackers, paste peach talismans, eat reunion dinners, wear new clothes, etc. However, this year's New Year is very different for Pang Hong.

He didn't expect that his father would take him to Tongguan to see the dead...

To be precise, it is to look at war.

During the war, there is no concept of having to rest in the New Year. Cao's army is still outside Tongguan. From time to time, some people will tentatively attack, constantly creating pressure on the Tongguan defenders and provoking them.

However, whether it is Ma Yue or Zhu Ling, they can detect the fatigue of the Cao army soldiers from their daily operations, but Pang Hong and others do not know this.

That’s right, a group of young people tour groups brought by Pang Hong.

In order to ensure the safety of the teenager tour group, when Pang Tong brought his people, he did not do any special actions in advance. He just greeted Ma Yue and Zhu Ling, and then brought the teenager tour group.

Someone was wearing a blue dress and mixed it inconspicuously.

The young people's attention is on the battlefield, and no one deliberately observes the people around them.

"Could this be the Chu River and Han Border?"

Someone in the Youth League said.

Pang Hong looked back and found that he was Li Yuan's son.

Li Yuan was also one of the natives of Guanzhong who followed Fei Qian back then. Because he was not very capable, after he sacrificed his life to fight for a long time, he did not continue to fight. Instead, he changed to a county chief of Chang'an Ling County. He was probably a small county magistrate, but he was directly under Chang'an, so he would naturally be better than ordinary county magistrates.

This is also a normal choice for many children of the gentry.

The children of the gentry may not be all second-generation ancestors of the Gao Yanei type. In many cases, the irrational behaviors of the children of the gentry were mostly for the growth of themselves or their own family. From the perspective of the overall God, these behaviors were of course very stupid, but for the children of the gentry at that time, their choices were mostly made through careful thinking. Just like when Li Yuan knew that a young man led by Pang Hong visited the group, he immediately sent his children to the group...

And he asked the child to follow Pang Hong.

So Li Yuan’s children ask stupid questions, but they are not stupid.

The moment Pang Hong turned around, Li Yuan's son immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

In the entire Youth League, Pang Hong's identity on the surface is undoubtedly the highest on the surface, so...

This is a subconscious behavior, which has nothing to do with productivity, but is only related to authority. Even in later courtyards, it will be the case. Naughty children may not care what adults say, but will obey another obviously stronger child.

This seems to be a biological instinct.

Pang Hong tried his best to model his father's appearance, with a calm face, nodded, "Say it again! We are waiting for observation, not to make loud noises, not to leave without authorization, those who violate the order should use military rituals!"

Li Yuan's sons and others all agreed.

Their location is the edge of a relatively back forest in Linzhiyuan. Because of the trunks, branches and shrubs, there is no strangeness from the Niutouyuan opposite. It is like people inside the blinds that can see some scenery outside, but people in the distance can find it difficult to see through any specific things behind the blinds.

Cao's army almost occupied the entire Niutouyuan.

Some Cao's army's labor service was still mining trees on Niutou Plateau...

A child said timidly to Pang Hong: "Why didn't Cao's army come around?"

Pang Hong glanced at Pang Tong who was standing not far away.

Pang Tong seemed to have not heard it.

Pang Hong pondered for a moment, turned around and said, "It's impossible, it's impossible."

"I don't understand." The child said clearly.

Pang Hong looked at Pang Tong again and suddenly felt something.

Sometimes his father looked at him, most of the time he looked at the child.

After pondering for a while, Pang Hong said: "It is more harmful than good to take a detour. The two plateaus are separated by dozens of feet and the ravines exceeding hundreds of miles. Even if you can really dodge, you will be defeated without water or food."

The larger the army, the more we need to ensure the water source. Cao Cao and Fei Qian's troops are concentrated near Tongguan. It is not because Tongguan is really unable to detour, but only by walking the line of Tongguan can we ensure the drinking water needed by the army soldiers. If there is no water source during the detour, it is almost equivalent to seeking death.

In addition, during the cold weapon war, supplies, weapons, etc. are all for transportation, so transportation is very important. If you take some rugged mountain roads by detour, it is even more difficult to replenish supplies than climbing to the sky.

It should be noted that detour robbery and detour are different. If it is just a robbery, you can indeed detour, and only a small team of people are needed. Just like most nomadic peoples plunder the Chinese farming people, but robbery only causes a certain amount of harassment, which is far from occupying territory. At the same time, detour robbery is most afraid of being surrounded by the other party, which is almost devastating.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the main problem was not the tactics of detour, nor how strong the Qing army was in combat, but the result of many factors such as the military system and political corruption of the Ming Dynasty, the mutual distrust between local warlords and courts.

Someone asked the first question, and other children asked some questions one after another.

Some problems are simple, some problems are a little more complicated. Pang Hong gave a general explanation and immediately gained a lot of admiring eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little fluttering. Then Pang Tong glanced at him and fell back to the ground with a slight sound...

"Why……"

Pang Hong sighed with a little sadness and turned his gaze to the distance.

The Cao army camp stretched out, and flags covered the sky and the sun.

Cao Jun’s camp looks very solid.

A deep trench in the grain channel was dug around the Yingpan, which was covered with pointed wood. The excavated soil formed a wall of earth behind the trench. Below the earth wall, deer antlers and horse-resisting horses, and strings of caltrops. Every distance was a whistle tower, with soldiers garrisoning day and night.

There are portals on all sides of the camp, and a wooden viewing building was also built on both sides of the camp gate. Both the viewing building and the gate were made of tree trunks, covered with yellow mud, and trenches were also dug at the door, with wooden boards on them, and they were removed at night to prevent sneak attacks.

At this time, the gate of the Cao army camp opened wide, and a group of about a thousand people came out. There were some sporadic scouts and cavalry around him, heading towards the lower city of Tongguan amid the sound of war drums.

The Cao army slowly unfolded, about five or six rows in front and back, with roughly straight lines, and pressed towards the lower city of Tongguan.

Behind the array, there was labor to push some siege equipment and slowly move forward.

On the walls of Tongguan Lower City, the Hussar soldiers were on high alert, and they shouted loudly and adjusted their queues. Behind the Tongguan Lower City, there were also cattle, horse and vehicles transporting some arrows, crossbows, rolling stones and wood that needed to be supplemented to the front line...

Is this war?

...

...

Nowadays, the Cao army's attack is like a daily task. Because people stay in one place for a long time, they will inevitably become lazy. In order to maintain the vitality of the army, they must take turns to let these soldiers see some blood. Therefore, the attacking queues under Tongguan City are uncertain. Of course, there may be some numbness in this.

Zhu Ling, who was in the lower city of Tongguan, looked at Linzhiyuan slantedly. Although his vision was blocked by the earthen plateau, he knew that there were some people watching there.

Zhu Ling didn't understand very much. Why did Pang Tong create such a young tourist group? Could it be that the flesh and blood mill here in Tongguan have a beautiful scenery?

And if you really have to look at the war scenes, you can watch the ball at such a distance?

Come to the city of Tongguan, and take a look at the blood-soaked loess on this sakura, look at the fragmented limbs and the human tissues hanging on abandoned weapons, so that the internal organs and intestines have really been to the battlefield!

No matter how bad it is, I have to go around the barracks for a few times?

What can you see on Linzhiyuan?

However, Zhu Ling could understand it somewhat, after all, they were all teenagers.

The battlefield is so cruel that even adults may not face it.

But Zhu Ling didn't understand why Pang Tong came with these teenagers?

Zhu Ling couldn't figure it out, but it did not prevent him from orderly making defense arrangements. For him, some of the political content at the upper level was too far away, and his main battlefield was still in this area in front of him.

Cao's army's siege equipment began to protrude from the two wings of the array, the most of which were still chariots and large wooden shields. This kind of thing was simple to manufacture and widely used.

There are also ladders, but not many, it is more like embellishment.

Although it seemed like a regular daily attack, Zhu Ling still did not relax. Cao's army needed to attack to maintain a relatively strong morale, and the defense also needed to use such a fight to maintain his fighting spirit. Then Zhu Ling quickly discovered some unusual movements at the corner platform of Tongguan Shangcheng.

Um?

Are you going to use that thing today?

Where Zhu Ling was staring, on the corner platform of Tongguan Shangcheng, craftsmen and grenadiers were conducting the final debugging of the bronze cannon before it was launched.

Because the artillery does not have a return mechanism, all the recoils fired need to be borne by the gun seat and the gun pad under the gun seat.

In addition to the inspection of the artillery itself, a series of approval calculations are also required for the direction of the artillery, the angle of the muzzle, etc. Otherwise, if the cannon sounds and the shells are not sure where they fly, it will lose the meaning of letting the Youth League observe.

Before Zhu Ling could think of anything, he heard a loud bang. A shell flashed through the air and smashed into the sakura, splashing a ball of smoke and dust.

"What is this for?" Zhu Ling was stunned.

The Cao army has not yet attacked, so why did it take such an early firing?

With the sound of the cannon, Cao's army was in a big uproar, and the entire array began to shake. The carts and big wooden shields that were pushing ahead fell to the ground when they saw it. It was obvious that the laborers of the carts were frightened...

Zhu Ling looked at it and seemed to have a little enlightenment in her heart.

Today is the youth group watching, and it’s the New Year. It’s really inappropriate to see the bodies flying everywhere and the flesh is blurred.

As the war drums roared in the upper city of Tongguan, the cannons at the corner platform sounded deafening sounds, and gray smoke rose up. The shells drew a black line in the air, hitting the loess surface of the sakura, colliding with countless broken soil and gravel, and then rushed into the river.

The Cao army in the distance once again made an uncontrollable terror, and the cavalry army, which had been using their anger for a long time, also had some fluctuations.

Even though the God of War is still a little immature, the hideous face he reveals cannot be underestimated.

Then there was the third shelling.

The rising gunpowder smoke filled the smoke, and the orange-red exposed at the muzzle was like the bloody mouth of the demon.

The innocent Sakurado endured the third shell, but the Cao army soldiers not far away realized the same conclusion. In front of the artillery, personal bravery was not worth mentioning, and the siege equipment was vulnerable.

After three rounds, the artillery fell silent.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

Cao Jun's original overall array was twisted like his legs that could not hold back his urine.

The frightened labor on both sides was like a scared liquid...
