Why didn't Cao Cao order the rockets to be fired when he borrowed arrows from the straw boat? What concerns does he have?

There are two reasons why Cao Cao did not choose to order the rocket to be released under the circumstances. The first is that it was foggy at the time, so the visibility was extremely low. Therefore, he could only hear the shouts of the enemy troops, but did not know how far away the enemy troops were from his camp. Since the rocket had a short range, he could not guarantee that it would be able to hit the enemy. The second one is also very important, because it was originally a foggy weather, so the humidity in the air was very high, and the rocket was likely to burn out during the launch process, so it would not be able to produce lethality. ?Cao Cao

At that time, because Soochow and Shu Han formed an alliance, they all fought against Cao Cao. Zhou Yu of Soochow was jealous of Zhuge Liang's talents, so he wanted to find Zhuge Liang's shortcomings as an excuse to get rid of him. he. So he asked Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows in ten days because the army lacked arrow options. Zhuge Liang observed the stars and knew that there would be heavy fog in a few days, so he arranged for a large number of bushes to be planted. The scarecrow went to borrow arrows from Cao Cao. This is also the well-known allusion of straw boats borrowing arrows. ?

Of course, a large part of the reason why the straw boat borrowed arrows was successful was that Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Cao was suspicious by nature and would definitely not rush to attack with troops. Due to the foggy weather at that time, the air was very humid. Cao Cao also took this into consideration and was worried that during the process of launching the rocket, the flames would be extinguished directly, which would not cause damage to the enemy. Furthermore, since he did not know the distance between the enemy and Cao Cao's camp, and the range of rockets was far less than that of ordinary formations, he was worried that the use of rockets would not be able to provide protection. ?Cao Cao

If they wanted to launch an attack with rockets, before the archers fired, the fire would completely reveal some of the defenses of Cao Cao's camp to the enemy, and Cao Cao was originally afraid of the enemy. When the army attacks, they naturally do not dare to show their situation to the other party beforehand. Moreover, the foggy weather is likely to cause strong winds on the river, and if rockets are fired, the rockets are likely to set fire to his camp. Therefore, for safety, he has to choose to launch ordinary arrows to harass the enemy. .
