The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316 Javelin Cavalry
The gate of Guzang City slowly opened, and there were bursts of creaking sounds in the dark night. In the quiet night, this sudden sound made people feel scalp tingling.

A long black dragon formed by [-] cavalrymen. These cavalrymen are majestic and majestic, and each one is dressed in fur armor, but their equipment is completely different from that of the Central Plains cavalry.

But what kind of dress?
I saw a few javelins in the hands of these cavalrymen in the dark night!On the horse, a shield was hung. The shield was small and made of hardwood. When held in the hand, it could only cover the chest and head. It was very light and easy to carry.

And each soldier basically carries three to five javelins. These javelins are about two meters long, and the front end is polished brightly. Although they are not as sharp as swords, it is conceivable that with the impact of the horses, once Throwing the javelin into the air, the attack power would be astonishing.

Ma Chao's javelin cavalry tactics are quite different from those of the Central Plains cavalry, and even Dong Zhuo's cavalry in Liangzhou.It incorporates the combat methods of Roman cavalry.

As for the relationship between the cavalry under Ma Chao and ancient Rome, it can be traced back to the beginning of the Spartacus uprising in ancient Rome.

This magnificent slave uprising ended with the death of the military genius Spartacus on the banks of the Tesla River.The one who defeated Spartacus was Crassus, the governor of Sicily, one of the former three heroes of ancient Rome known for his wealth and greed.In the era of the former three heroes, Caesar and Pompey stared at each other. The wily and calculating Crassus knew that the fisherman was the third, so he did not immediately get involved in the vortex of the power struggle in Rome. Instead, he led his army to the east, preparing to gain prestige by conquering the so-called barbarians. The source of soldiers and wealth, and waiting for Kai, Pang the opportunity to lose both.

Crassus counted everything, but the only thing he didn't count was that the battle-hardened Roman Legion suffered a crushing defeat in the battle against the Eastern nomads.Compared with the erratic and fierce Eastern cavalry, the Roman Legion relied more on a large number of professional materials to carry out operations, such as armor, weapons, food and so on.

The problem of insufficient mobility of the Roman legion that penetrated into the Central Asian wasteland was fully exposed, but the conceited Crassus believed that the Roman legion would surely win with its perseverance and discipline. He obviously underestimated the characteristics of the eastern nomads who regarded death as home and were familiar with weapons.As a result, Crassus was defeated and died in the melee in the wilderness of rest.
But Crassus's men were not completely wiped out. His Second Army and the remnants of the Third Army were defeated and returned to Rome.The troops of the First Army were cut off and continued to advance eastward. Its commander was the son of Crassus. This army without a motherland wandered in the east, and after being removed, it once became a mercenary of the Huns.

In the Han campaign against the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu army was defeated. When this army came into contact with the Han army, it applied for protection from the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.At that time, the Eastern Han government was quite enlightened, and at the request of Banchao, the governor of the Western Regions, treated this army with a very different culture very leniently.

The government of the Eastern Han Dynasty allowed the army to build a city by itself and defend the border for the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to the status of a western protectorate. The Romans built their own city at the west end of the Hexi Corridor, called Lixuan, which was called the ancient city of Lixuan.Within the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, it is the center of Ma Teng's territory.

Over the past hundred years, those Romans have taken root and merged with the Han people. This unique method of warfare, which is completely different from that of the Central Plains, has gradually been handed down in the Ma family army.In addition to the javelin cavalry, there were also powerful infantry, and their tactics were quite different. Later, Ma Chao used this to defeat Cao Cao.

It's just that the pawns can't follow after breaking through the siege, so they can only follow Ma Teng to stay behind in Guzang, maybe they will be wiped out in the future.

Five thousand cavalrymen hung their shields on one side, and tied a few javelins on the other side. Ma Chao took the lead, and several juniors of the Ma family were protected in the middle of the team.

"Soldiers, follow me to break through!" Ma Chao took the lead, and at the moment the city gate opened, he raised his dragon cavalry spear, urged the flying sand in the east, and rushed out first. After that, five thousand cavalry also galloped suddenly!

In an instant, the ground trembled, as if the earth dragon turned over, and the huge sound suddenly resounded through the sky in the dark night.In the dark night, five thousand cavalrymen turned into a torrent and rushed towards the Niufu camp on the opposite side. They could not see clearly, and Ma Chao at the front was dressed in silver armor, which was the guiding light.

Niu Fu's camp blocked the entrance of Guzang City. If he wanted to break through, he had to rush through Niu Fu's camp. Afterwards, Niu Fu sent people to chase him, and Niu Fu's army intercepted them.But right now, the most important thing is to rush through the Niu Fu camp blocking the way.

Jia Xu was still in the Niufu Camp, so with his intelligence, he could have predicted that Ma Teng might break through.Jia Xu suggested to Niu Fu that every night, he would make soldiers and horses wait in the camp to wait for the rabbits, and charge him for a while to let him escape.Then set up an ambush on the only way to Chang'an, so Ma Teng will definitely be defeated!
It's just that Niu Fu is arrogant and doesn't think Ma Teng has the courage to break through, but as a commander, he is still cautious.Because the camp was built under Guzang City, soldiers and horses guarded the camp every night, but at this moment most of the soldiers and horses are still sleeping.

"Go southwest, follow me, don't shoot with a javelin yet!" Ma Chao took the lead, and rushed southeast to the corner of Niu Fu's camp!Each person only carried three or five javelins, because they were used to break through the siege, and there was no way to recover them. If they were used up, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry would be depleted.Therefore, for the use of javelins, be sure to save!Use it when it matters most!
The violent tremor of the ground naturally woke up the soldiers in the Niufu Camp, which was only two miles away from Guzang City!In Niu Fu's camp, in an instant, the soldiers jumped up and down, ready to come out to meet the enemy.

It's just the impact speed of the cavalry, how can you give Niu Fujun lieutenant generals reaction time?Before Niu Fujun could respond, Ma Chao had already led his troops into a corner of the camp!
Ma Teng was extremely concerned about whether Ma Chao could break through the siege. He climbed up the tower, stared closely at the opposite side, and heard the noisy production in the opposite camp from a distance.Then he knew that Niu Fu didn't take precautions, and the breakout was half done!
"Quickly, light the torches and make the commotion louder for me, so that Niu Fu and the others know that I'm still in the city!" Ma Teng quickly ordered the soldiers.

If Niu Fu was not prepared, it would not be a problem for Ma Chao to break out of the encirclement.But would Niu Fu Han Sui let Ma Chao go to Chang'an so easily?Of course not, they will send troops to pursue.Now Niu Fu and Han Sui also have more than 2 cavalry in their hands. If they chase Ma Chao's cavalry, then Ma Chao will not be able to escape easily.

First of all, in terms of numbers, Niu Fu's cavalry outnumbered Ma Chao, and he might be defeated in a battle. However, Ma Chao had no food, grass and equipment.And because the southeast is Niu Fu's territory, their cavalry can be supplemented, and the one who suffers will be Ma Chao after all.

Ma Teng can't solve the food and grass needs of Ma Chao's cavalry, but he can drag out some of Niu Fu's soldiers and horses here to relieve Ma Chao's pressure.

Under the city, Ma Chao rushed to Niufu's camp first, and the dragon cavalry spear turned into a horse chain, and swept across with one shot, knocking down the rushing soldiers to the ground.The spear was picking up the fence of the camp gate and throwing it towards the soldiers rushing inside.

Ma Chao rushed into the camp first, followed closely by five thousand cavalry!Facing the onslaught of the cavalry, the camp stretching for more than two miles seemed vulnerable.
