Chapter 195 A Small Defeat

Looking at this helpless siege battle, Ma Chao felt extremely out of breath.

He saw that the individual abilities of these soldiers under him were quite good.While protecting his body, Qing Dun can also carry a sack of sand.And he could run away from the moat unscathed and throw the sand down.And when they came back, they all backed up, covered their bodies with shields and ran back slowly...

But the problem is that these county soldiers are too strong in personal ability, and they don't have the awareness of cooperating with each other at all, and they are all in charge of their own affairs.

Ma Chao remembered that he had watched a movie before time travel, was it called "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" or Eight Hundred Warriors?The round shields in the hands of the Spartan soldiers can be arranged into a round shield array, just like the shell of a tortoise, with the front, back, left, and back tightly packed.But inside, there are javeliners standing by all the time, moving steadily... If people like me can use the shields in their hands to form an airtight formation, then even the crossbowmen on the city wall of Longxi County can't be injured. lives of these soldiers.Moreover, the people in the camp are responsible for filling the sand, and the efficiency will be several times higher.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao strengthened his determination to train soldiers to cooperate with the training: only those who know the Qimen Dunjia and other formations in the Shenbumen will be assigned to the military training hall to be responsible for the formation teaching.And You Chu, although he has to be in charge of the affairs of the Han and Qiang Trade Office and Beidi County, he can't come to Fufeng to teach in person, so he has to write a book on formations for middle-level non-commissioned officers to learn and train...

After thinking about it, Ma Chao also felt that the siege battle was really meaningless, so he planned to withdraw his troops and come back for dinner.But when the Ma family hadn't been awarded gold, there was a new movement in Longxi County.

Seeing that Brother Chou's sword and shield hands were exhausted, the suspension bridge at the head of Longxi County suddenly shook, creaking and slowly falling. Ma Chao was a little stunned, and before he could react, the suspension bridge had already crashed down The gate of the city was opened wide, and under the guidance of more than a hundred cavalrymen, the cavalrymen of Longxi County launched a counterattack. The casualties were heavy.

Ma Chao's mind went blank for a while, and his chest was suddenly extremely irritable. First, he felt sorry for the thousands of soldiers under the city, and second, he was annoyed that his own army was beaten passively under the cover of absolute firepower!

In particular, these moves by the soldiers of Longxi County are not peerless nirvana, but the bad thing is that he didn't make any preparations beforehand. It seems that he has no way to deal with it in this state: if he sends some The spearman is protected by the sword and shield and is responsible for filling the river.At this time, when the cavalry rushed out, the spearmen could also resist it.But now Brother Chou's subordinates are all armed with swords and shields. When dealing with cavalry, under the collision of war horses, he has no power to fight back.

Ma Chao hurriedly called for gold and ordered Brother Chou's troops to withdraw.At the same time, the ballista was ordered to suppress the firepower on the city wall, so as not to let the mountain-destroying crossbow in Longxi County take advantage of it.

When the cavalry commander of Longxi County tried to rely on his superiority in arms to outflank Brother Chou, Pound, who had been arranged in advance in the rear, immediately reacted: Just kidding, doing this in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is all over the world, really When Ma Jiajun is dead?Pang De took the lead and led the front into the battlefield, meeting the Longxi cavalry from Brother Chou's two wings.

It has to be said that Xiliang iron cavalry is indeed stronger than Longxi cavalry. First, the javelin throwing caught the Longxi cavalry by surprise.Then the Yuan Rong crossbow showed its power, and before charging in front of the enemy, it knocked down the number and arrogance of the Longxi cavalry.In particular, Pound's force value is very high. When he came up, he killed the cavalry commander first, and then led his subordinates to crush him with a three-foot-three wooden breakthrough stick.

But even so, the Longxi cavalry rushed out and killed about 500 infantrymen in just a few breaths. In addition to the [-] people lost in Nan'an County, half of the [-] infantrymen under Chouge had been lost. .

"Ding... Dang..." Ma Chao's side yelled gold, and Longxi County's side also started to yell gold.In this battle, the two sides fought very uncomfortable and had a tacit understanding, which can be regarded as pulling down the curtain of this tentative attack.

But in fact, this is just Ma Chao's wishful thinking.Just as Pang De and Brother Chou were retreating, Ma Chao suddenly saw himself rioting in the rear.From time to time, I heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, and then I saw raging smoke rising into the sky.

"That's where a certain army's supplies and supplies are located!" Ma Chao was in a hurry, and quickly ordered the entire Xiliang iron cavalry to be dispatched, and he himself rushed to the rear of the formation first.Looking out, only about [-] Longxi cavalry came out from nowhere, and they were burning the food and grass of their own army!
Under the mobilization of Ma Chao, the entire Xiliang iron cavalry immediately responded quickly and effectively. Under the charge of thousands of people, the sound of rumbling horseshoes seemed to smash the ground, and the five hundred Longxi cavalry saw that they had really angered the Ma family army. Immediately, the torch and the blood-stained spear and broadsword in his hands were ashamed, and he ran away in a hurry...

"Don't chase, put out the fire!" Ma Chao ordered dejectedly: He knew that this cavalry unit might have ambushed nearby.If it wasn't for the fear of waiting for a long time to be discovered, it wouldn't just take advantage of this little advantage.

In this battle, he lost for a while.At this time, Ma Chao felt from the bottom of his heart: This war is really not that simple, and he can't just order to fight with his head.This time I counted myself lucky, not stupid enough.And if he was anxious and put all his troops into the battlefield, then this group of cavalry with only 500 men might really be able to burn all his food and grass, causing himself to lose everything, and finally retreat to Fufeng in embarrassment.

At this point in the battle, Ma Chao's heart gradually became cold: If the sheriff of Longxi County was a fool, he might still win; if the morale of the soldiers in Longxi County was low, he might win; Thick, you can win too!But the problem is that after this battle, Ma Chao clearly saw that the sheriff of Longxi County is quite capable. Apart from the unclear political strategy, he is very good at employing people, military training and defending the city. The quality and ability of soldiers are no worse than that of Ma's army.Coupled with the dangerous terrain and the high walls of Longxi County, I am afraid that I will not be able to capture Longxi County in a short time.

"Check it, check it hard for me! I can't imagine that there are such people in Longxi County!" At the military summary meeting in the tent, Ma Chao was furious: he shouted "know yourself and know the enemy" as his slogan, but up to now, he has not even met the governor of Longxi County. No one knows!

He didn't get angry at these subordinates. To be honest, although he lost a little in today's battle, his subordinates performed at a normal level.

Ma Chao was actually angry at himself at this time, hating himself for impulsiveness, which caused more than 700 elite veterans to lose their lives in vain in the tentative attack.

Brother Chou didn't respond positively after listening to Ma Chao's yelling. He frowned, as if he had been thinking about a problem since he entered the door.

"Brother Chou, can't the shadows infiltrate Longxi County at all?" Seeing that Brother Chou didn't return his life, Ma Chao suppressed his anger and asked Brother Chou.

"Ah? No. If you want to check the deployment of troops and food and supplies in Longxi County, Shadow may not be able to do anything. But if you only ask for the resume of the governor of Longxi County, there is no problem. Within a day, there will be news. Someone was just thinking about..."

"What are you thinking?" Ma Chao wondered, this ugly brother is now using his brain even in war, which is a good thing!

"Young master, we transported fifty truckloads of sandbags, and threw most of them down this afternoon. But I found that the moat in Longxi County hardly responded!"

Brother Chou's words aroused the interest of everyone in the tent, but the eyes of Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Fazheng, and Yang Fu became brighter: Is it not stagnant water, but living water?
