Most of the generals in the account are Ma Chao. Although he didn’t dare to say anything, he couldn’t help but hum a few words. There were still many people who were agitated and waved their hands back and forth. After a few steps, he suddenly turned to Zhang Heng and asked, "Would you like to lead the troops with someone?"
When it comes to this, where is the choice? He gritted his teeth and said, "I will go with the general at the end!"
Seeing that Zhang Heng was so Ma Chao, he laughed and said, "In that case, you will listen to your orders!"
After D’s order is finished, the generals will separately call the department to prepare for departure. Although they regret it now, they dare not show the slightest lift out of D ‘Zhongjun’s tent, ride a guard to bring a horse and go to their camp.
Although Ma Chao was bent on fighting back when the Jingzhou army attacked the camp, he sent scouts to scout ahead and was taken advantage of by the Jingzhou army ambush. However, to his surprise, the scouts explored the road and did not find the Jingzhou army ambush.
"Is the enemy hide too well? Didn’t our scouts find it? " When Zhang Heng, a suspicious ghost, learned about it, he rushed over and said to Ma Chao, "Now we must not be careless. Why don’t we let the scouts explore the distance again?"
D impatiently saw his one eye and said, "How to probe? According to the scouts, even the grass roots have been rummaged! In my opinion, it is normal for Jingzhou Army not to set an ambush. "
"How can this be normal?" Zhang Heng didn’t understand and asked him if he wanted to come to Jingzhou. The cavalry led by Ma Chao would never go there, so it would be even more bizarre if there was no ambush.
At this time, another scout came galloping on a horse, but in such cool weather, he was sweating and covered in dust, obviously running far away.
"report! The general found Jingzhou Army scouts seven miles ahead! "
Ma Chaowen smiled at Zhang Heng. "Look at this, isn’t it?"
"How can this be the same?" Zhang Heng said to Ma Chao in distress situation, "This is a scout near Jingzhou Army Camp!"
A captain next to him immediately answered, "So there must be no ambush in Jingzhou army, otherwise how can we find the enemy scouts now?"
Zhang Heng said that he would no longer argue with Ma Chao and others, that is, all the scouts would be sent out. Ma Chao also smiled and didn’t stop the real Ma Chao from leading the cavalry in the first four or five miles. That PianJiang also led two thousand cavalry as a striker. If the Jingzhou army ambush was fought out, it could not be found, but Ma Chao was slightly disappointed.
Ma Chao’s movements were reported to Liu Cong by Jingzhou Army scouts.
After learning the news, Liu cong made the ministries act according to the previous schedule.
Actually, Liu cong didn’t ambush Ma Chao’s road. First of all, the terrain here is too wide and flat, so it is not suitable for ambush. It is of little significance for Ma Chao’s troops to ambush, even if the troops are dominant, it is difficult for this terrain to gain an advantage. The most important thing is that Ma Chao’s cavalry is very mobile, and it is easy to escape if it can’t form a strategic flank attack on a large scale.
In that case, don’t put it near? For the Jingzhou Army, an elite cavalry team of Jingzhou Army also quietly left the camp led by Zhang Liao, relying on the cooperation of various arms to the maximum extent.
☆, Chapter one hundred and sixty-four A moment of casualties.
The blue sky is deep and high, and the fish-scale white clouds are as thin as Chanjuan, and the speed is imperceptible to the naked eye. Compared with galloping thousands of riders in the wilderness, it is like a fast moving wave rolling up the dust and coming to Jingzhou military camp outside Xudu City.
Chengtou jun soldiers were not excited after seeing them. Someone shouted, "It’s Zhongjun! The Zhongjun cavalry is coming! "
"That’s great! This Jingzhou army has to converge, right? " A famous man patted the crib mouth bluestone and said that the rough bluestone made his palm hurt, but he felt nothing.
The Jingzhou military camp in the direction of the East Gate of Xudu also responded quickly. The thunderbolt car array has been protected, but when I saw the enemy cavalry, the battalions were distributed and the soldiers were quickly transferred. The protection of the thunderbolt car array became more and more strict, and the peripheral camp also strengthened its defense preparations. Teams of archers, spearmen and knife shields climbed the wall, and the crossbows were exposed.
The first to attack was Ma Chao-hui, who was partial to the 2,000 cavalry he led. It was also an elite Ma Chao-hui. They rushed to Jingzhou Army Camp for several miles before speeding up. Naturally, the purpose was to save the strength of soldiers and horses.
It seems that the enemy camp is not as terrible as this general. The real threat comes from Jingzhou army crossbowmen and thundercars. Now the enemy thundercars are better than attacking their own camp, so it is necessary to protect them properly and break through the enemy’s arrows and rain. After all, for cavalry, speed and mobility can greatly reduce the risk of being attacked by arrows.
The Zhongjun cavalry is also good at riding and shooting, so the crossbow is slightly worse than the Jingzhou army’s crossbow in terms of range and lethality
In order to avoid being killed by the arrows and rain of Jingzhou Army, when the general approached the enemy camp, he ordered the cavalry to disperse to make the soldiers hurt by the arrows as much as possible. In front of the large group, there were more than a hundred cavalry scattered in front. They were scouts of this team, and they rushed directly to the enemy camp without the ambush of Jingzhou Army.
Looking at the dust in the sky, the soldiers of Jingzhou Army were quite calm. Although the enemy’s momentum looked terrible, the horseshoes rolled in like thunder, but the soldiers knew in their hearts that they were prepared and would never be easily broken by enemy cavalry.
A captain of Jingzhou Army guarding this camp is Lv Meng’s department. Seeing that the enemy cavalry is quite scattered, he can’t help frowning slightly. For the side guarding the camp, the denser the enemy attack formation is, the easier it is to deal with it. But this doesn’t make him worry too much. He wants to make the enemy closer. Although this inevitably increases the difficulty and risk of defense, this captain believes that the soldiers will never let the enemy attack the wall easily.
There are many horse-tripping ropes and horse-refusing objects outside Jingzhou Army Camp, and many horse-trapping pits of different sizes have been dug. These horse-trapping pits can’t completely trap the horse, but it will break the horse’s leg if the horseshoe is trapped, which is a great threat to the cavalry.
It was because a Zhongjun scout rushed too fast that his horse’s front hoof stepped into the pit, causing the horse to moan and fall forward, and the scout was thrown back to his horse and broke his leg.
Yu Tripping Ma Suo and Refusing Ma were evaded by most Chinese scouts because they were easy to find, but then they were attacked by arrows from the village wall.
Several Zhongjun scouts were shot off their horses, but they also immediately attacked Jingzhou Army with bows and arrows. However, compared with the almost method, what harm did Jingzhou Army soldiers do? Most of the arrows were shot at the walled village, and some crossed the walled village and landed in the camp.
After a short contact, the Chinese scouts continued to wander around the Jingzhou Army Camp, shooting arrows at the soldiers of Jingzhou Army on the walled wall, and their main purpose was to explore an attack route.
Jingzhou army battalions are not closely connected with each other, but there is a big gap between them, but they are staggered. If you look from outside the camp, it will be like a maze.
These Zhongjun scouts can wander around the periphery of the camp, and if they are tempted to camp, they will be attacked from all sides and die.
When that PianJiang led the troops to kill, he didn’t come directly to Jingzhou army camp, but tried to cut in from the northernmost part of the enemy camp along Xu Ducheng and Jingzhou army camp and take Jingzhou army thunderbolt position directly.
Commander Lu Meng of the East Gate Battalion saw that the enemy cavalry had chosen this attack route and could not help but smile and say to a captain around him, "Tell General Song to wait for the enemy to attack first!"
Hearing this, the captain hurriedly asked the flag bearer to play the flag and sent scouts to ride horses to Song Dingying’s command.
Lv Meng knew that this cavalry was just a vanguard sent by Ma Chao, and the enemy’s main force had not yet arrived, so he was not in a hurry. He knew very well that the fighting capacity of the men was not enough to break through his own infantry formation, which would pose a threat to the thunderbolt car.
Chengtou jun soldiers saw that Jingzhou army had not left the camp, so they couldn’t help but be more confident. They shouted that Zhongjun cavalry cheered up the Zhongjun camp in the city, but one man, Jingzhou army’s thunderbolt car and firebomb attack, had burst into flames. In the thick smoke, they saw Zhongjun cavalry galloping from the city, and their swords and guns reflected the sunshine quite bitterly.
The soldiers in Jingzhou, the outer edge array of the thunderbolt car, have already prepared for the enemy’s engagement.
"Kill!" Zhongjun cavalry shouted and waved the pike, spurge, ring knife and short spear in their hands and slammed into Jingzhou Army’s step-by-step formation.
Feng Rui spear pierced from the horse’s chest with minced meat, and the thick ring knife chopped it out. The solid helmet was deeply dented, and the blade passed over the skin … Zhongjun cavalry was like a huge wave rushing to the reef, splashing but scarlet blood instead of white spray!
A Chinese knight carrying a flag was shot down by several arrows before he rushed to the enemy gun forest. The flag floated in the middle and was quickly smashed by the sword.
Leading this vanguard team, PianJiang will see that the enemy formation has been quite tightly impacted several times, and all his soldiers have been killed and wounded, but he can’t help but rush out with a horse’s belly in great anger, and the guards behind him have to follow closely.
Seeing that this PianJiang took the lead, he summoned the morale of his department and immediately rushed to Jingzhou array again.
"general! The enemy’s defense is very strict and the narrow terrain here is not conducive to our military exhibition. Let’s retreat for the time being and attack together when General Ma leads the troops! " The man who is nearly the captain of the guard galloped to catch the PianJiang and shouted.
Without looking back, the general shouted, "Our department is a big army striker, and we can’t break the enemy formation."
Speaking, he is close to the Jingzhou army formation, and the captain of the guards said that he hurriedly called the department to guard the generals.
"whoosh! Whoosh Hey! " At this time, a large number of crossbowmen suddenly appeared in the enemy array, and they saw short and heavy crossbows coming like migratory locusts!
As expected, Pianjiang pulled the reins mercilessly, and the horse stood up and was shot by a bolt in the cheek and chest. When he landed, his front legs knelt down, and Pianjiang rolled his saddle and fell off the horse, but he was unscathed under the cover of the horse.
However, he probably told his men that they were not so lucky. Some people were shot in the face, screaming and falling off their horses, and then they were trampled into mud by the horses rode by the cavalry behind them. Others were thrown forward by the wounded horses and stabbed in front of Jingzhou army.
When the enemy’s arrows were sparse, the general turned over from behind the horse and came to the enemy’s gun array with a long knife. Several guards saw him and quickly protected him.
After losing the impact of the war horse, the combat effectiveness of the Zhongjun soldiers was greatly reduced. Even if the soldier was desperate to fight, he failed to shake the enemy formation. Although Jingzhou army soldiers also suffered casualties, the formation was continuously supplemented to make it complete.
Seeing that the enemy formation was broken by the real method, the PianGeneral had to lead the troops to retreat. At this time, he was well protected by several armor, and the injury was not too heavy. So he was pale and broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
"Let the brothers have a rest first!" He raised his hand and wiped the blood on the corners of his mouth. He looked at the numerous bodies in front of the Jingzhou Army formation, and he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. Just after the enemy engaged, more than 100 pieces of music were damaged, which made the PianJiang’s heart full of frustration.
A Sima staggered to the side of the PianJiang and whispered, "I’m afraid the general will attack like this and the soldiers will suffer too many casualties. Think about other methods."
PianJiang wry smile way "I don’t know again? Let’s wait and see. "He has some remorse now, so he won’t take the lead as a striker. You know, outside them, if the soldiers of the guest army die, it will be difficult to get a supplement from other places
After a little hesitation, the famous Sima said to PianJiang, "Since Jingzhou Army has long been on guard, our army should not continue to attack from here, and then make plans if General Ma meets first."
Before sending troops, Ma Chao handed it over to the general, but it was not limited to ask him to make his own decisions according to the situation. Now it seems that Jingzhou army is really difficult to attack the general without much hesitation. He nodded and said, "In that case, let’s retreat first!"
However, before he ordered him to go, he saw a scout galloping on a horse. It was Ma Chao who asked him to continue to attack the Jingzhou army’s thundercar. After he got the order, he could not help but be dumbfounded.
☆, Chapter one hundred and sixty-five Secretly hook up the unfinished business.
The news that our striker attacked Jingzhou Army didn’t make Ma Chao give up attacking Jingzhou Army Camp. It seems to him that even if Jingzhou Army is powerful, it can’t defend every flaw.
And the city of Cao Hong will definitely not give up the opportunity of attacking from outside, so the odds will be even greater. The most important thing is that our own are cavalry, and even if we can’t break the enemy camp, we should not be surrounded by Jingzhou army.
However, Zhang Heng suggested that Ma Chao still set aside two thousand cavalry rear to guard against "possible" Jingzhou army attacks.
See PianJiang after D led the main force to meet, pale and faint, just a moment to blame and never export.
"General, the enemy’s formation is quite tight, so is the camp. We must be careful when our army attacks." PianJiang said to Ma Chao with crustily skin of head.
