Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 546: The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's First Battle
Cao Cao was very satisfied when he heard Cao Ang's answer. He was quite satisfied with his son. Under his careful teaching, Cao Ang was like a weakened version of him.
Even Cao Ang's monarch talent is a replica of his, which can amplify the abilities of his officers, but it will also amplify the negative effects of the officers' abilities. However, there is an upper limit to the amplification ratio.
It won't be like his that has no upper limit. If one of them exceeds the limit, you might lose your life.
It was precisely because of his ability that Cao Cao was never willing to let Xiahou Dun risk his life, because that could really result in death.
The stronger Xiahou Dun's abilities are, the faster he will die due to the side effects.
"Cao Ang, listen to my orders! I order you to lead two thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and three thousand Infantry to defeat the bandits!"
"I obey your orders!" Cao Ang took the order and left.
"Lord Cao, the eldest son's enemies number at least ten thousand people. There might be accidents with five thousand people!" Xi Zhicai suggested with some concern.
Ever since the defeat that year, he has become very cautious and is very reluctant to take risks by using a small force against a large one.
"Although the enemies are numerous, they are nothing but chickens and dogs. My son is a Qilin child. A few rabble will not be his opponent!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said in a domineering tone.
Xi Zhicai shook his head. He vaguely discovered that Cao Cao seemed to be a little inflated because of the recent series of victories.
Cao Cao's talent as a monarch comes from his own sublimation. When Cao Cao's ability reaches its limit, that is also when Cao Cao's negative emotions are magnified to the limit. If it is against the wind, Cao Cao can suppress the negative emotions, but if it is with the wind, Cao Cao will not listen to the advice at all.
Xi Zhicai shook his head and did not continue to advise Cao Cao. He believed that this was a short-term catharsis caused by Cao Cao being suppressed for too long.
Although he was worried about Cao Ang, he also agreed with what Cao Cao said. Cao Ang was indeed very capable, and even if he did not have the advantage in numbers, victory would be easy to achieve. However, Cao Cao's arrogance needed to be suppressed.
Xi Zhicai, who had something in mind, went to find Cheng Yu.
"Are you planning to teach the lord a lesson with facts?" Cheng Yu looked at Xi Zhicai with a strange expression.
Xi Zhicai was stunned. He didn't expect that Cheng Yu actually knew what he was thinking.
"No, it's not me. This is the lucky bag that Guo Fengxiao stuffed into my hand before we left. It predicted this situation!"
"Feng Xiao has misled me! What a shame!"
Xi Zhicai sighed and couldn't help but fall into memories. If he could have persuaded Guo Jia to join Cao Cao's army back then, perhaps he could have really made the Wei Kingdom recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms come to life.
It’s a pity that it is just the direction of another world.
The historical direction of their world was broken as early as when Mu Yi suddenly appeared.
"What else did Guo Fengxiao say?" Xi Zhicai took the treasure bag handed to him by Cheng Yu and looked at it.
The information inside is very simple, basically predicting the reactions of Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai.
"Guo Fengxiao said that if you have a plan, you can go to Chen Gongtai, he will be happy to help you!" Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and conveyed Guo Jia's original words to Xi Zhicai.
"I understand!" Xi Zhicai turned and left. Cheng Yu shook his head and continued to deal with the work at hand.
Cheng Yu did not think that Cao Cao's arrogance would be a bad thing. On the contrary, Cheng Yu believed that Cao Cao's arrogance was a reflection of his growing ambition.
However, Cheng Yu also knew that Xi Zhicai's consideration was not wrong. He had also read the Records of the Three Kingdoms, and he quite agreed with the things recorded in it, because he felt that he was really capable of doing such things as using human flesh as rations and killing innocent people to claim credit.
Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Cao Cao. This was also the reason why he came to support Cao Cao as soon as he decided to explore another world.
He was quite supportive of Cao Cao, but in the past, the situation was stronger than the people, so no matter how much he thought highly of Cao Cao, a defeat was a defeat.
Now that he has the opportunity to make a comeback, Cheng Yu naturally puts his best effort into it.
"The training of new recruits should also be put on the agenda. Adaptation to this elite talent is crucial. My spiritual talent is very suitable for this elite talent. Cao Ren would be the most suitable commander, but we don't have enough resources at hand..."
Cheng Yu was flipping through the government affairs in his hands, but he was thinking about another thing in his mind.
In fact, it all comes down to one sentence: they don’t have enough resources.
Maintaining and expanding a force is quite expensive, especially in the early stages of development, when investment is required in almost every place.
These civil and military officers had accumulated some merits in the past, which was why they were able to gain a lot of support from Huang Tianji.
Even a lot of it was financed by loans, but even so, the resources on hand were not enough.
"We can't expand any further... No, we can't stop expanding, we need more enemies!"
Cheng Yu originally planned to stop the expansion, but after seeing the territories of various forces not far away on the map, the madness in Cheng Yu's bones emerged.
A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass. When will plunder become the best option for one to develop peacefully?
This world is more like the world of medieval Western lords, and the concept of pioneering territories also exists in this world.
Cao Cao landed in a very bad place, surrounded by several big forces. Fortunately, these so-called big forces did not have imperial-level power. Although they regarded themselves as an empire, in Cao Cao's eyes, they were just some large and small kingdoms.
These so-called imperial forces are scattered over a vast area. In the north is another endless wilderness where the so-called pioneer lords also exist.
Cao Cao was caught between the wilderness and the imperial forces, and was attacked on all sides, but he also had unlimited opportunities for expansion. It was during this chaos that Cao Cao quietly annexed several territories and possessed a population of hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of troops.
In this world, an empire that can gather 100,000 pairs of talents is considered the top empire, although for a true empire-level force this is just an appetizer.
After all, there were millions of double-talented angels scattered around Rome, but they did not end up being destroyed, and it was even just a minor trouble.
Of course, these forces are definitely stronger than Cao Cao and his men for the time being. After all, Cao Cao and his men are still in the starting stage, and any so-called empire can crush Cao Cao's forces in terms of paper data.
But the powerful data are only on paper. Sometimes, war is not just about paper strength.
Sometimes an army of one hundred thousand strong would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
And Cheng Yu and others possess such wisdom.
"The Maher Empire... that's you!"
Cheng Yu selected the nearest empire on the map. The empire was very powerful.
"Twenty thousand elite soldiers...are not enough. We must train new recruits..." There was madness flashing in Cheng Yu's bones.
Since the goal is to build a great kingdom, a single battle is necessary to decide the outcome. Unlike Xi Zhicai who became cautious because of his failure, Cheng Yu is still as radical as ever.
The Mahur Empire was an empire with an army of 100,000.
Moreover, this was only the number of troops they had; the soldiers of the nobles under their command were not included. Once the enemy reacted and summoned a large number of nobles to attack, it would be difficult for them.
There are no military formations in this world, but there are battle formations that are similar in nature. Dozens or hundreds of people joining together also have powerful strength, and even thousands of people can form a battle formation.
Compared with the military formations of the Central Plains, it is more like a power system visualized by the Kushan gods and Buddhas, which can fight against military formations in small-scale wars.
Although this power system is not as advanced as the cloud system, it also allows it to have an advantage in both numbers and strength.
……
Cao Ang led 5,000 troops and marched towards the territory designated by Cao Cao.
"Ten thousand people?" Cao Ang looked at the information and fell into deep thought. In this world, those who can be called an army have basically reached the level of double talent combat power.
So technically, there are twice as many enemies as they are.
However, Cao Ang was not panicked. He was indeed very much like Cao Cao. Even when outnumbered, he did not panic at all. Instead, he was thinking about how to defeat the enemy.
In fact, theoretically speaking, in a small-scale battle, the enemy's battle formation is stronger than their military formation. This strength seems to come from the special blessing of this world, which is not very effective in the Xinghan world.
But in this world, in small-scale battles, the energy of heaven and earth that can be mobilized is more effective than military formations.
This disparity in the world is regarded as the difference in the world and is recorded in Huang Tianji's database. However, without a large number of models, Huang Tianji cannot use data to explain this situation.
Cao Cao and his men were not people who would stick to their old ways. During the battle, they realized the peculiarity of this power and immediately analyzed and imitated it.
Although the training of the new recruits was still far from perfect, the elite troops under Cao Ang had actually mastered the dual powers of battle and military formations. This was also the reason why Cao Ang was confident in defeating the larger force with a smaller one.
The elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under his command not only mastered the battle formation, but also the military formation, and could even combine the two.
On the other side, more than a hundred miles away from Cao Ang, a group of bandits, who were actually official elite troops arranged by the Maher Empire to identify Cao Cao's forces, were resting and maintaining their weapons and equipment.
"General, according to our observations, they should be planning to go to Viscount Custer's territory. He is a noble of our empire. Even if we don't go to help, don't we need to notify them and let them prepare?"
A guard asked his general in confusion.
"Haha, Viscount Custer's territory is a good place!" The leading general showed an inexplicable smile.
"It's not easy for us to come out once. These enemies are not easy to deal with! The monsters under their crotch are a bit strange. Let's lie in ambush for the time being!"
The general rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes as he stared at the map.
Originally they were sent out to warn Cao Cao not to expand his power any further. Although it was normal for pioneering lords to annex each other, Cao Cao and his men did so too frequently and needed a warning.
After all, harmony between territories is also an indicator of social stability in the empire.
"Only by saving people from danger can we maximize our profits!"
Originally this mission was a tough one, but after observing the movements of Cao Ang and his men, he came up with a good idea.
It is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. It is not easy for them to come out. It would be a great loss if we don’t bring something back.
Besides, why not use the empire's troops and use our own connections?
"Pass the order down, everyone lie in wait and wait for Viscount Mengde and Viscount Kusser to meet!"
The general happily wanted to be the one who reaps the benefits.
However, he did not expect that he had been completely exposed to Cao Ang's sight.
"Want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers?" Cao Ang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scout's report.
Naturally, the Shennong lineage had produced results after so much research. They transformed the results of the falcon trainers who were once able to communicate with war eagles and created a new group of Shennong beast trainers.
Of course, because Xinghan has developed the secret art of light and shadow reconnaissance, this secret art of animal taming has retreated from the first sequence of war.
However, after Xinghan retired from the sequence, it shined again in the hands of pioneers like Cao Cao.
These tamed beasts would act as the army's eyes and ears, and there was no way a hidden army could escape the detection of these special scouts.
After determining the enemy's position, Cao Ang rushed towards the newly appeared enemy without any hesitation.
The general named Spat led his troops towards the direction closer to the territory.
He needs the best position to watch so that they can attack at the most critical moment and gain the greatest benefit.
"Beep, beep, beep~" Three alarm sounds, and Spat's heart tightens immediately. All the elite soldiers behind him, even those at the back, understand that the enemy has appeared.
"Haha, if you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, then let's see if you are qualified!"
Cao Ang looked at Sparta with excitement. He was indeed itching to try his luck recently and needed a good opponent to test the results of his training.
The Spart Legion in front of them, which is of similar number to theirs, is their best prey.
When Cao Ang was looking at them, they also discovered Cao Ang. The murderous look on his face showed that he had no desire to communicate with them at all. He directly attacked them as enemies.
"Damn it, it actually crashed into me?" Spat was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that his plan would fail before it even started.
However, although he was annoyed, Sparta was ready to fight as soon as possible.
In fact, the soldiers behind him were all elite troops and did not need any extra command after receiving the message. The battles they had experienced had already made them very clear about what they should do next.
After watching the enemy rushing towards them, all the soldiers consciously formed an army formation, and then a glow emanated from their bodies, slowly strengthening the various attributes of the human body.
The battle formation has the effect of drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth. It is similar to a military formation, but it is more like a specialty of this world.
Because in the process of drawing on the essence of heaven and earth, their spirit, energy and spirit did not participate in the battle formation. This is why Cao Ang discovered that battle formations and military formations can be used in superposition.
