Chapter 119 The Actual Combat Application of the Art of War (5)

On the branches of the moon, the dark clouds in the sky are sleeping. Occasionally, a few mischievous stars emit a blink of light. However, the hazy light like fireflies is covered by the slowly drifting dark clouds in an instant.

Ma Chao is very satisfied with this kind of night. For him, this kind of night is exactly: the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is just right for killing people.

"Where you are fighting against the enemy by day, you must set up more banners as suspicious soldiers. If you are fighting against the enemy at night, you must set up torches as suspicious soldiers. This will make it impossible for the enemy to measure their numbers. The law says: fight with more banners in daytime battles, and use more torches in nighttime battles."

Ma Chao arranged for his more than [-] Xiliang cavalry to tie unlit torches to tree branches, or find a wooden stake to hold them. Follow the movement in the city.

At the gate of the city, the thieves finally rushed out. Ma Chao's eyes were shining, but he remained silent.More than a thousand Xiliang soldiers were like statues, even hiding their breathing.

Ma Chao felt relieved: After more than a month of training, these veterans finally had the rudiments of iron-blooded soldiers.

After a long time, a rocket finally shot out from the sky, and the fire light made the stars in the sky a little ashamed.

With a wave of Ma Chao's hand, more than a thousand veterans under his command immediately ignited the torches in their hands and those dummy torches.And the hundred or so people in front immediately scattered to various places, those who beat gongs and those who beat drums.All of a sudden, there was a loud noise from all directions in Xinping County, which aroused the few bandits left in the city to panic.

"It's terrible... Xiliang cavalry is calling..." Xiao Tian yelled so hoarsely that his loud voice could almost be heard for more than a mile.While shouting, he threw an oil bottle into the bandit camp, and then shot a rocket, which immediately set the entire bandit camp in flames.The fire spread rapidly.

Before those thieves could react, Xiao Tian rushed to the gate of the city with the shadows who sneaked into Xinping County more than ten months ago: "It's not good, Xiliang Jin Machao is coming! Our leader was arrested Kill, the camp is on fire, and Xinping County is about to be breached!"

There were originally several hundred soldiers guarding the city gate, but candidates attacked and took away almost all the soldiers. At this time, there were only seven or eight bandits guarding the gate.Seeing Xiao Tian being so flustered, he really thought for a moment that the iron cavalry from Xiliang was approaching the city, and that disaster was imminent!

"Presumptuous, disturbing the morale of the army, I think you are tired of living!" Among the thieves guarding the city gate, there were also several veterans.Without even thinking about it, I was eager to restore the morale of the army.But when those people ran in front of them, their expressions changed.

I saw Xiao Tian suddenly pulled out a bow and crossbow from his waist, and shot at those veterans in a round. How could those veterans dodge in time at night, they were shot immediately, and then Xiao Tian killed them with a single blow.

"Open the city gate and welcome the young master into the city!" Xiao Tian raised his arms and shouted, commanding the shadows to pull up the iron chains and open the city gate.

The thieves were so hungry that their eyes turned green, and they only relied on sleep to maintain their strength. At this moment, they heard the clamor and shouts from the city, and saw the fire in the camp... Crawling out of the bed naked, no matter whose clothes it was, they just picked it up. Wrapped, they fled in panic and fled around.

Ma Chao was not impatient at this time, instead he let his cavalry run around, shaking torches and pretending to be aggressively invading, waiting for Xiao Tian to open all the city gates.

Not only that, Ma Chao also prepared a lot of oil bottles and rockets this time, and specially set fires around the city wall, cooperating with the inside and outside, making the bandits think that the Xiliang iron cavalry had already burned, killed and looted.

"Hit!" Ma Chao's arrow was like a shooting star, and he shot a bandit who was caught off guard to the ground.Moreover, every time an arrow is shot, the place has to be changed, and the same is true for the guards under his command, lest the enemy calm down and find that there are only more than a thousand of them.Because this time Ma Chao made it very clear that he should pack lightly and focus on sneak attacks, assassinations, bluffing and scaring away bandits.

The horse died in shock, and the thieves who had not received professional training didn't know what happened, they thought that the Xiliang iron cavalry had really come to encircle and suppress them.All of a sudden, those who cried for their father and mother, cursed the world, and all kinds of ugly words came out of their mouths.They took up their weapons and valuables and ran to a place where there were few torches, hoping to escape from the weak point of Xiliang cavalry's attack and ascend to heaven.

"The way to encircle a war is to encircle it on all four sides. A corner must be opened to show the way of survival. If the enemy is not strong in the battle, the city can be pulled out and the army can be broken. The law says: There must be a lack of troops to encircle."

Ma Chao and the others brought a lot of torches, but most of them were arranged on three sides, and most of the fire and arrows were shot on these three sides, deliberately leaving a way for the thieves to escape.Of course, there were neither Xiliang iron cavalry nor obstacles blocking the way on that easy road. There were only [-] Beidi County soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

The flames were soaring into the sky, and there was a clamor from all directions. The bandits had already fled in all directions like frightened mice.When they saw that there was not much movement at the city gate on the west side, they all fled towards the city gate on the west side.At this time, Xiao Tian also took advantage of the chaos to open the gates of the three cities, and after firing a rocket into the air, he led the shadow troop and fled into the shop. Shutting the door of the shop and shivering inside...

When Ma Chao saw that the two rockets had finally taken off, he immediately ordered the Xiliang iron cavalry at the three city gates to urge their horses to enter the city gates.All of a sudden, the pent-up bloodthirsty aura suddenly burst out, and the Xiliang cavalry turned into night demons, driving the invincible nightmare horse, raging like a hurricane in the city, driving those The frightened bandits rushed towards the west gate.

Ma Chao took the lead. In this battle, he did not test his martial arts much.After all, among this group of thieves, there is no one worthy of his shot.But after this battle, he suddenly felt that his 'ruling heart' was more solidified.I have a clearer understanding of the control of the battlefield, the use of strategies, the choice of timing, and more importantly, the beginning and end of the entire battle situation.

Feeling extremely happy in his heart, Ma Chao couldn't wait to turn these insights into instinct and keep them in his blood.But helplessly, the battle was still going on, so he had no choice but to rush forward, and when he saw the fleeing bandits, he slashed and killed them without mercy.

Although those thieves are all adults, when it comes to bravery, where is Ma Chao's opponent?What's more, at this time, most of them used the enemy's cavalry to deal with Xiliang's iron cavalry, and they were countless points weaker in terms of momentum, strength, morale, bravery, and technique.While resisting hastily, only flesh and blood were flying, and the cold light was shining.It was only when the head fell to the ground that I realized that it was not someone else who died, but myself.

In the end, it was Pang De, Brother Chou, and Ma Dai who led the Xiliang iron cavalry after they were wiped out, and joined the ranks of chasing and killing them, especially Ma Dai, who was carrying the head of the candidate, was even more crazy In general, chasing and killing those poor thieves everywhere.

This battle was only over when you reached the official road on the west side of the main road, and you could faintly see You Chu using a net rope to capture the prisoners in front.

At this time, the sky has gradually begun to brighten.Looking at the rising sunrise in the east, Ma Chao felt that the golden thread of the clouds was rendered by this sunrise, which was much softer than the tragic sunrise he saw in Fufeng County.
