The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Both Ma Yue and Ma Chao underestimated the combat effectiveness of this Qiang army.On the surface, this raid is somewhat similar to the counterattack against the Qiang people led by Ma Chao when he was in Lintao before. It caught the Qiang people off guard and killed the enemy in a short time. Belly.

But in fact, the two times the situation is completely different.The previous time, it was because Niu Fu led the army in the front and attracted the attention of most of the enemies, and when the Qiang people discovered Ma Chao's strength, it was too late to return to rescue him, so he was able to successfully kill the general of the Qiang army, and then destroyed Go to the banner.But this time, they were completely facing the entire Qiang army, and the pressure they had to face was enormous.

But even so, under the leadership of Ma Chao, the Han army still launched an extremely strong offensive force. It was not until they entered the enemy's camp for tens of feet, almost before the main general's camp, that they really encountered decent resistance.However, once the Qiang people here reacted, the situation became a bit stalemate, and it was difficult for the Han army to advance easily.

The leader of this Qiang army was Bian Zhang, the Qiang general who rebelled with Beigong Boyu.When he was awakened from his sleep, he was really surprised that there were Han soldiers coming from behind.But soon, he regained his composure, and immediately made targeted deployments.

Because shortly after the start of the battle, he knew that the raiding Han army was not too strong, so he didn't have to worry about being defeated by the sudden enemy, so he boldly ordered that it was almost impossible for the rear to resist. The assault team of the Han army moved out of the way and let the Han army in.

Since it is impossible to stop the Han army on the front line, and if this continues, it will only increase casualties, so why not lure the enemy to go deep and encircle them on all sides?It is precisely because the Qiang people used this strategy that Ma Chao and his team were able to rush to the key point of the Qiang army's camp so easily, but then fell into a tug-of-war.

However, Bian Zhang was greatly surprised by the strength of the Han army's combat effectiveness.He has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to attack it in turn, but not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but was also retreated steadily by the continuous impact of the Han army.This was really too unacceptable. After a little thought, Bian Zhang gave the order to kill the enemy with random arrows.

In this gloomy night, the two armies were completely twisted together. Logically speaking, this kind of random arrow tactics that may hurt the enemy or oneself is very inappropriate.But Bian Zhang, who was already annoyed, couldn't care less, and immediately gave the order to kill one thousand enemies and damage himself by eight hundred.

The sharp arrows pierced through the air and took the lead in killing and wounding the Qiang people who were still attacking the Han army in the outer layer.Afterwards, the arrow was shot in front of the generals of the Han army.Many of them never expected that the enemy would use this kind of tactics that would hurt both sides, and immediately several cavalrymen were shot in the body.

But at this time, a strange thing happened. Although the cavalry were hit by arrows, they did not fall off their horses like the Qiang people before, but continued to fight.This made the Qiang people around who saw all this panic-could it be that these Han troops were invulnerable?

But the truth is thanks to Ma Yue's previous design.In order not to bring along civilian husbands who would become cumbersome once entering the battle, all the food deliverers this time were cavalry.In order to bring as much food and grass to the trapped men and horses as possible, he even designed this kind of intestinal bag that can be wrapped around people, and this bag is filled with ground grain.When those arrows hit the target, many of them were shot on these intestinal bags. Blocked by the thick grain, the arrow naturally couldn't cause the expected damage.

But after all, it was an intensive attack of thousands of arrows. Even with this special protective layer on their bodies, many cavalrymen were shot off their horses under the subsequent waves of arrow rain.And in this way, the morale of the Han army was greatly hit, and the indomitable momentum they originally had had weakened a bit.

And this is exactly the purpose of the Qiang people. After discovering that the progress of the Han army was blocked by their random arrows, they fired a few times, thus completely stopping the momentum of the Han army.But after that, they didn't shoot any more arrows.Because they found that the random arrows these few times caused their own casualties to be greater. As long as they can curb the momentum of the Han army, it is enough. For the rest, they can take their time. After all, they have a big advantage in terms of strength.

Ma Chao also clearly sensed this. After the Qiang man's arrows stopped, he immediately shouted loudly, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and rushed forward like a broken arrow.Just now, in order to guide everyone forward, he has always been reserved. He just rushed to the front and never left the group.But at this time, after realizing that the situation was not good, he wanted to once again rely on his super martial arts to dominate the entire battle situation.

Ma Chao had already discovered that at this time, he and the others had already killed the enemy's central army. As long as he could break through and kill the enemy's main general as quickly as in the Lintao battle, the victory of this battle was sure.

But this time Ma Chao was going to be disappointed. He rushed fast, but the Qiang people over there were not slow to react.Just after he broke away from the brigade and rushed forward a few feet, more than ten Qiang riders surrounded him suddenly.More than a dozen weapons slashed at Ma Chao from all directions, and even two slashed at his mount.

Seeing this, Ma Chao didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly pulled the rein to stop the horse's forward momentum, then stretched out his spear, and stabbed several Qiang people who rushed forward.Although those riders were good at riding, they hadn't reached the level of Ma Chao's level of control. Not only did the charge fail to inflict damage on the enemy, but they rammed themselves straight into it, and Ma Chao immediately picked them off their horses.

The others were startled when they saw this, and stopped their horses quickly, not wanting to repeat the mistakes of their companions.But at this time, Ma Chao, who had already eliminated the enemy in front of him, urged his horse again, and appeared in front of them at an extremely fast speed. The gun in his hand shot out like lightning again, piercing through those who only stopped their horses in time, but failed to parry them in time. body of the Qiang people.

In just a blink of an eye, Ma Chao had already killed more than a dozen people quickly.But there was no joy on his face, because on his way forward, there were already hundreds of Qiang soldiers waiting in line.Obviously, those Qiang people had seen through Ma Chao's intentions, so they put on a stance of defending.However, if Ma Chao wanted to repeat his old tricks, it would be very difficult to kill the enemy general.

However, Ma Chao was not discouraged, and still urged the horse to charge forward. He believed that with his own ability, he could break through the defense line of a mere hundred people.But the situation was far beyond his expectations. The fighting power of these hundred cavalry was surprisingly high. Although they were not his opponents, it was not easy for him to break through their obstruction.He had killed two people several times, and when there was a gap, someone would rush towards Ma Chao's mount recklessly, forcing him to turn around to save himself.

Moreover, as time went by, the number of these cavalry continued to increase, and soon, Ma Chao found that it was impossible for him to break through this obstacle.

And with Ma Chao's sudden departure, the frontal pressure encountered by the Han army over there suddenly increased a bit.The combat effectiveness of an army without a backbone will drop in an instant.Therefore, it will be difficult for the Han army to advance an inch later. Even if they fight hard against the enemy, it will be difficult to open the gap.

Ma Yue was in it, but he could only watch all this happening anxiously, but he couldn't do anything about it.He is just an ordinary person who may not even be able to protect himself. No matter how smart he is, it is impossible for him to play a decisive role in such a scene where only fighting power speaks.

"I still underestimated these Qiang people! I didn't expect them to react so fast, but they put us in a dilemma! Moreover, it is almost dawn, and once it is dawn, those of us who are trapped in the enemy's line just want to leave I can’t even go.” For the first time, anxiety grew in Ma Yue’s heart.

At this time, several Qiang soldiers finally broke through the defense line of the Han army in front and rushed to Ma Yue.The few of them also saw that Ma Yue was different from the others, so they directly attacked him without paying attention to the other Han soldiers.Fortunately, there were Wang Feng and other guards beside Ma Yue. They hurriedly raised their swords forward to block the opponent, but Ma Yue was covered in cold sweat.

At this time, Ma Chao, who had already discovered that the team behind him was in trouble, had no choice but to turn around and come to rescue him. He was really powerful, and after only a few charges, he rushed back to his team.And when he found that there were some enemies around his brother, he rushed over immediately, and with a flash of the gun in his hand, he eliminated those enemies who were still inextricably fighting with Wang Feng and the others.

Seeing this, Ma Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking that the team was still very anxious, he said loudly to his elder brother: "Brother, there is no way to go on like this. We must rush out of their siege as soon as possible, otherwise we will just be in danger." I'm afraid I'll be trapped to death here."

"I know!" Ma Chao said, having dealt with the last enemy, and then came to the brothers: "But now we are surrounded, what else can we do? I wanted to forcefully rush in and kill the enemy general. But it’s hard to succeed.”

Ma Yue also saw Ma Chao's fight not far away, and felt helpless.He is quite familiar with his brother's ability, and now even his brother can't make any progress, so is this assault really going to end in failure?

Just when Ma Yue was a little discouraged, he suddenly raised his eyes and saw two or three hundred steps away, there was a big banner hanging there, and beside the banner, hung a very eye-catching lantern in such a dark night.Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, and he asked Ma Chao loudly, "Brother, you are good at archery, are you sure you can shoot down that flag and that lantern?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao followed Ma Yue's instructions, and then he understood. He immediately took off the strong bow on his back, set up the arrow swiftly, and aimed at the banner of the Qiang army hundreds of steps away. .

And at this time, the last fighting force of a thousand Dong Zhuo's army, the personal guards, finally rushed out of the long-closed camp with roars, and charged towards the Qiang camp.
