taboos in the military: letting people be stupid
and Cao Cao's men have more rice buckets. No, it is more than a rice bucket, it is simply mentally retarded, such as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Don't talk about such advanced issues as the art of war and strategy, these two people simply don't know how to count.
Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a thatched boat, and finally got one hundred thousand arrows. This was counted bundle by bundle, and the numbers are estimated to be correct. On the other side of the river, Cao Cao asked Cai Mao and Zhang Yun how many arrows they were deceived. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun said there were about 100,000 arrows. At first glance, the numbers may match, but they are actually much worse. First of all, Cao Cao discovered Zhuge Liang's use of arrows through a straw boat that was left behind. There must be thousands of arrows on this straw boat. But this is only a small number, the large number is in the back. When Cai Mao and Zhang Yun ordered people to shoot arrows, it happened to be a heavy fog (otherwise they would not have been caught), they only knew the direction and could not see the specific target, so most of the arrows fell on the river surface - this is not just reasonable It is speculated that there is also such a scene in the film - according to this ratio, Cao Ying must have lost more than 200,000 arrows. But when Cai Mao and Zhang Yun reported their losses, they only reported 100,000 branches. Is there anyone who doesn't know how to count?
Of course, there is another possibility: Zhuge Liang drew a jumper on the side of the ship when the arrows came. Lu Su asked him what he was doing, and Zhuge Liang said, this is where the arrows fell into the water. When our boat docked, we could send someone into the water to retrieve the arrows. Lu Su was shocked. Could this be the legendary "When the moon goes away, I also go and I will send my elder brother to the entrance of the village"? Zhuge Liang said, this is called carving a boat to seek arrows.
Cao Cao's newly promoted grandson, Shucai, looks like a simple and kind child like Guo Jing, but he is actually a fool. A soldier who has no feelings for his rank at all, even if he has been banned, he doesn't know why his subordinates follow him, and he plays "riding high" with someone who is called a spy by the patrolmen and sends the other party out of the camp— - The difference between simplicity and stupidity is not a line, but a wall, but Sun Shucai easily turned over it.
The second taboo of the military: soldiers taking drugs
In "Under the Red Cliff", Cao Bing's expedition to fatigued, unaccustomed to the soil and water, many soldiers died because of the plague. Cao Cao moved the disaster to Jiangdong, and transported the dead soldiers' bodies to Dujiang, hoping that the plague of Soochow Wu would spread and fail. But Cao Cao was wrong. His soldiers did not die because of the plague, but because of drugs. The evidence is Zhuge Liang's silver needle poison test.
You have all seen the silver needle poison test in martial arts novels or martial arts movies. If you suspect that the food is poisonous, you can insert the silver needle. The silver needle turns black, indicating that it is indeed poisonous. Why do silver needles turn black? This is because the silver needle has chemically reacted with the sulfide in the poison, and silver sulfide is formed on the surface. In other words, only when it encounters sulfur and sulfide, the silver needle will turn black, and when it encounters a "virus", the silver needle will not turn black. If you don't believe me, if any of your relatives or friends has a viral cold, you can try to stab him with a silver needle. The black eye must be your eye socket, not the silver needle.
However, Zhuge Liang stuck the silver needle into Cao Bing's throat, and the needle turned black again, which only means that the soldier was wearing sulfide. We all know that people in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty liked to take drugs, which they called "taking pills" in their words. If you want to take pills, you have to make pills first, right? Alchemy is inseparable from cinnabar, which is mercury sulfide. Look, we finally found the reason why the silver needle turned black.
Those Cao soldiers who died of the "plague" were collectively drugged and died, and those who were alive might not be clean. How could such an army have combat effectiveness?
The third taboo of the military family: lax military discipline
does not mention the collective drug use of the soldiers. From Sun Shangxiang's experience of going to Cao Ying as a meticulous work, we can see how lax Cao's army discipline is. Sun Shangxiang followed a group of patrolling Cao soldiers and entered the battalion. This is completely unimaginable. Those who don't believe it can try to follow the honor guard responsible for raising and lowering the national flag. The Sun Shucai played by Tong Dawei was named a thousand commander. Regardless of whether there is a "thousand commander" in the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are definitely corporal and even chiefs at the grassroots level. The corps commander only had five people in charge, and the fingers of one hand just counted, and the corps commander didn't know if there were more people at the end of the line.
Later, Sun Shangxiang stole the drawing of the camp and was discovered by the patrolling Cao Bing. As we have already said before, Uncle Sun is a fool. It’s okay if he acts illogical. What’s rare is that his subordinates help him fight with the patrolmen without asking any questions. What’s even more rare is that Xiao Zuo escaped from such a big thing. , In Caoying, there were no sequelae, and no one was tracing it. The military discipline is so lax, it deserves to be roasted like a pig.
The fourth taboo of the military: improper training
Cao Cao used Cuju to train soldiers, hoping to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, which is really absurd. What is Cuju practice? The practice of footwork, at most, the headwork, once you do it, it will be a foul. Let the soldiers practice Cuju with their arms drooping all day long. According to Lamarck's point of view of "use it and lose it", the hands of these brothers are considered abolished. Even if the soldiers are finally trained so that their waists are not sore, their legs are not sore, and they can walk with strength, what is the use on the battlefield? Take the north leg against the south fist? In addition to Zhang Fei, where else in "Red Cliff" is there another person who went to the battlefield empty-handed? Cao Bing, who was trained in Cuju, had to think about it when he was slashed with a knife: should I put my head on top, or smear the soles of my feet with oil, and Lingbo walks slightly? But no matter which one you choose, you won.
In fact, in the final analysis, Cao Bing of "Under the Red Cliff" only committed a big taboo: the director is a stubborn pen - the truth is always so concise and concise, I was afraid that the number of words was too small to be pronounced, so I made up the number of words in front of me.
