Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 543: Attacking the Camp

The opponent has heavy armored soldiers, and it is difficult for the cavalry to do their best. Using fire to attack is the result of Yan Xing's hard thinking and meditation. Don't you like to hide in the grain and grass carts? The role of infantry is also reduced to a minimum.

To Yan Xing's surprise, it was not the heavy infantry that protected the food transport team, but the soldiers in light armor. They moved quickly and swiftly. Obviously, Tian Feng was also constantly improving his strategy in order to kill the enemy as much as possible. , the Jizhou army finally found a way to restrain the Xiliang cavalry, so naturally they will not miss it.

With a fire, all the plots of the grain and grass carts were burned down, and a well-managed victory would be won under the attack of the fire.

Yan Xing looked at the panicked soldiers in the fire, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth. The task ordered by Jia Rong can be carried out in this way in the future, cutting off the grain and grass from Jizhou.

Five hundred cavalrymen broke through the food and grass team without any effort, and all the soldiers who resisted or surrendered were ordered to be executed by Yan Xing. This is a battlefield, not charity. If an enemy is taken in, there will be a change during the battle.

This grain transportation team is only more than [-] people, and the food and grass transported is not much. It is obviously an ambush deliberately set up by the Jizhou Army for the Xiliang Army. Yuan Shao still attaches great importance to the real food and grass transport team. At least there are thousands of guards, and the combat power should not be underestimated.

Yan Xing was a little dissatisfied with such a record. He set his sights on a larger food transport team. After three days of scouting, there was a place more than ten miles away from here where Jizhou army food and grass passed by every time. There were thousands of soldiers escorting them, and they were obviously the real main force of food transportation. If this food transportation team was wiped out, it would definitely cause Yuan Shao a lot of pain.

Yan Xing had achieved a small victory here, but Ma Teng still had no progress. There were no advanced communication measures in ancient times, so it was impossible for Yan Xing to contact Ma Teng immediately and tell him his winning tricks.

It has been two days since Ma Teng led the army to follow this grain transport team. Every time Ma Teng sent dozens of cavalry forward, constantly provoking each other. The real panic before, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, relying on the grain and grass carts, methodically resisting the charge of the cavalry [

With a long spear, Ma Chao rode into the grain transport team alone, and the grain transport team was in chaos. The general kept yelling for the soldiers to come forward. The battle killed and wounded more than a dozen soldiers, which made the food transport team a lot more cautious, and their disdain for the cavalry also restrained a lot.

Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao and shook his head slightly. Being brave means being brave. He lacks enough composure and patience. He is like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the Xiliang Army. I am worried about Ma Chao. With his personality, it is difficult to get an important position in the army. Maybe he can make some progress after being honed on the battlefield and trained in military theory courses. Even Huang Zhong is at Ma Chao's age. It is not necessarily possible to have such an act.

However, Ma Chao's charge this time also raised the morale of his own cavalry team a little. The Xiliang cavalry believed in an invincible enemy. Jizhou grain transport soldiers, when they take it seriously, no matter how many methods the grain transport soldiers have, they can eat him slowly.

After passing through a plain area, Ma Teng finally moved. The [-] cavalry were divided into ten batches, and launched an attack on the transportation team. In order to deal with it, they are just soldiers escorting food and grass. Without shield soldiers, it is impossible to resist densely packed arrows. Under such an offensive, they have to keep dodging, hoping to escape. Under the real threat of life and death, For them, credit is a bit out of reach. For credit, few soldiers are willing to pay the price of their lives. Battle credit is precious, and the price of life is even higher.

After all, there are only a few who stand out on the battlefield, and more people are just doing nothing, being monks hitting the clock for a day.

The grain transportation team was in chaos, and the ambush soldiers hidden in the grain carts couldn't sit still, and rushed out one after another. Among them, the generals were obviously higher than the generals who escorted the grain, and they continued to organize soldiers to rely on the grain carts, and Xiliang army to fight.

This combat method of the grain transport soldiers is very correct. Relying on their own advantageous items to fight against the enemy, this method has appeared many times in history. The infantry of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also resisted the Huns cavalry in this way The attack is remarkable.

Ma Teng frowned when he saw the opposing general organize soldiers behind the grain cart. If this situation continues, the opponent will definitely be able to withstand the charge of the cavalry. It was nothing more than a bait floating on the battlefield. There were still many such troops on the battlefield. Ma Teng really didn't understand that Yuan Shao spent a lot of troops just to trick the Xiliang army and kill a few cavalry. The Xiliang Army lost more than [-] cavalry before, and the price paid by the Jizhou Army was definitely thousands of people. It can be said that it took a few lives to change a cavalry.

Ma Teng withdrew his troops and returned, continuing to follow the grain transport team.

Not only Yan Xing thought of fire attack, but Ma Teng also thought of it, and put it into practice. Under the attack of fire, the grain and grass carts they relied on became obstacles for the soldiers. Fleeing in all directions, this time it was a real escape. Relying on the cavalry in his hands, Ma Teng quickly won the victory. On the battlefield, the Jizhou army fell into a disadvantage under the fire attack of the cavalry, and the backup of food and grass was hindered. Yuan Shao was also a little anxious .

On the battlefield of Xuzhou, there is the last city left. Liu Bei is struggling to support it. The food and grass in the city are enough to support the army for three months. During this period, if reinforcements come, they will be able to win. Anyway, Liu Bei They are all state herdsmen of Xuzhou. During the period of running Xuzhou, they also won the hearts of many officials. During the time when Xuzhou was besieged, officials continued to send soldiers to rescue them, but they were killed halfway. Cao Jun's cavalry were defeated one by one, unlike the cunning of the Jizhou Army, the generals who came to help basically relied on enthusiasm or were "forced" to come. After being charged by Cao Jun for a while, they fled in all directions, and those who surrendered were ignored. number.

The situation in Xuzhou is worrisome. Liu Bei seems to have aged a lot overnight, with gray hairs appearing on his head, and he has not slept for three days in a row. , Blocking most of the enemy's attack, why I, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, studied hard since childhood, but couldn't match him.

Thinking of the Xiliang Army, Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to collect the feces and oil from the city, and boil them continuously on the city. The fragrance of the oil was accompanied by the smell of feces. Flashing forward.

When the coalition forces attacked Hangu Pass, with this move, the Xiliang army let tens of thousands of coalition soldiers be recruited. They wailed in the camp all day, and finally died of the plague. Since they could not successfully defend Xuzhou, Cao Cao Don't even think about getting Xuzhou so easily. Now that things have happened, Liu Bei has a broken idea.

Moreover, this kind of injury is difficult to heal. Even if the general suffers from such an injury, he will not get better without the careful treatment of a good doctor. The Cao army is no better than the Xiliang army. It has a medical team, and the injured soldiers can be treated quickly. In the Central Plains , a soldier was injured, it was just a simple treatment, life and death depended on their own luck, and the princes of the Central Plains would certainly not spend huge medical expenses on ordinary soldiers. Pull up a new army. [

Liu Bei had a reliance in his hands, and Cao Jun quickly announced the end of today's siege battle. The hot oily dung juice caused the siege soldiers in coarse clothes to suffer. At this time, the weather was hot, and the soldiers I definitely don't want to wear heavy armor and climb the ladder. I am caught off guard, and this attack method has achieved great results.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers covered in oil and feces kept crying in pain, and the voices kept coming and going, making it difficult for Cao Cao to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei would use such a damaging move. Not all the princes knew that this move was willing to use it. If Jia Rong heard this sentence, he would definitely shake his head and say nonsense. Could it be that the war between the two princes is in accordance with God's will? Once the war is carried out, the people will suffer. If there is really a punishment from God, The first to die are these princes who talk about righteousness.

The lights of the big tent in the army are still on. Today's victory made Liu Bei smile a lot. As long as he can defend Xuzhou, he will still have the opportunity to compete with the princes of the world.

"Brother, at this moment, Cao's army is frustrated, and the camp's defenses are definitely not tight. Why don't I lead the army to charge for a while and plunder Cao's camp!" Guan Yu's slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he said loudly.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Second brother, no, Cao Cao is a man who has experienced battles for a long time, how could he not know how to prevent the enemy from sneaking on the battlefield."

"Brother, Cao's army has repeatedly attacked, and our army has no counterattack power. It must be due to the lack of morale in the army. Why don't you try it once." Guan Yu insisted.

What Zhang Fei likes most is to join in the fun, and remembering that he fell into Cao Cao's hands a few days ago, a raging flame flashed in his eyes, "Brother, what the second brother said is unreasonable."

As if thinking of something, Liu Bei sighed and said: "Okay, I will follow my second brother!"

As Guan Yu expected, the defense of Cao Jun's camp was very loose. Under the siege of the army, they believed that the defenders in the city had already sealed the city gate, so they would not go out to fight.

Guan Yu led [-] cavalry, and suddenly rushed out, killing Cao Jun's camp into chaos. Guan Yu didn't want to kill the enemy, but ordered the soldiers to set fire continuously. The entire Cao Jun camp was like fireflies gathering, dotted with stars.
