Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 395: 1st battle

Yuan Shao continued to gather forces in Baima. Both sides had already declared their respective guilt to the world, and they looked like they might fight at any time. The battle of Baima officially started a few days after Tian Feng arrived in Baima. , but the real battle was not here. Two days before the battle started here, Ma Chao had already led his elite troops from Mayi into Dai County.

Since Lu Bu had already announced that the world was ready to fight Yuan Shao to the death, Yuan Shao naturally needed to guard against the Guanzhong army from Bingzhou. To prevent Lu Bu from attacking from here.

Not only did the second son Yuan Xi serve as the governor of Youzhou, but he also sent his nephew Gao Gan to act as the governor of the county.

Pingcheng, Ma Chao led the cavalry and rushed to the city. Looking at the outline of the city in the distance, he looked at Fa Zheng who was beside him and said with a smile: "The emperor was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops back then?"

"More than ten miles to the east is Baishan Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack." Beside him, Fa Zheng adjusted his breath and nodded in recognition.

"Sometimes I really wonder if you've been anywhere." Ma Chao was a little surprised, as if no matter what, as long as he asked, the other party could say that he was ugly.

"Where, just like this famous place, I will come to see it." Fazheng shook his head humbly. After returning from Shuzhong, he was transferred to the Ministry of War and was responsible for cooperating with Ma Chao and participating in this battle to destroy Yuan Shao. The main goal , that is, to recover Youzhou, but not many troops were given.

Ma Chao brought 3,000 elite cavalry, plus Zhang Xiu's 4,000-step cavalry, adding up to only 7,000 people, so he wanted to take the entire Youzhou, which sounds... very difficult.

However, there were new weapons distributed by Lü Bu, so Ma Chao was very confident, and asked Zhang Xiu to lead the army to follow from the rear, while he led three thousand light cavalry first, preparing to take Daijun first and find the main force of Daijun to fight.

Looking at the sky, Fazheng asked Ma Chao, "But I don't know how General Pingcheng is going to attack?"

He didn't know how powerful Lu Bu's new weapon was. After all, he had never fought anyone before, so it was hard to have any intuitive feeling.

Ma Chao didn't say anything, he led his troops to the city to watch. Pingcheng, as the junction between Lu and Yuan, was very vigilant. Gao Gan was here and sent two thousand people to guard the city. When he saw a cavalry from Guanzhong coming, then The siren had already sounded on the side, and at the same time, a wolf smoke rose.

Ma Chao's eyes lit up, he did not attack the city, but left a thousand people to look after the surplus horses, and he walked around the city with the remaining thousand horses, putting pressure on the defenders of Pingcheng.

"This General Ma, since he got married with the female son, seems to be enlightened." Fazheng saw this scene, but he quickly understood Ma Chao's intention. He was planning to use Pingcheng to attract reinforcements near the enemy to fight!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for reinforcements from the two nearby cities to come here.

Ma Chao immediately led his army out on horseback, and the thousand cavalry behind him launched a horse-shooting attack on the opponent. The repeated crossbow shot a box of arrows into the air, but the opponent erected a large shield early. Ma Chao's repeated crossbow failed to achieve merit. The continuous crossbow started to fight back against Ma Chao, and several of them were caught off guard and were shot by the war horses. Fortunately, they were wearing rattan armor, and there was no death in battle, but the war horses were lost.

"Go and get dozens of Zhentianlei!" Ma Chao led the cavalry to move some distance away, and sneered as he watched the other party press on each step.

The crossbow bolts that the Kwantung Allied Forces imitated were really not bad. At least Ma Chao had a hard time enjoying the hearty feeling he had when he fought Cao Cao. At that time, 3,000 people dared to use the crossbow to suppress Cao Cao's battalion of 30,000 people. Almost killed Cao Cao.

But now, the other party also has a repeating crossbow, and the gap is gradually narrowing. Of course, this is when the Guanzhong Army only has the advantage of repeating crossbows, and now, they have more than repeating crossbows.

In order to prevent the thunderbolts from self-detonating, these thunderbolts were wrapped in cotton wool for several layers and then stored. It was troublesome to take them out at the moment. Ma Chao took the cavalry to shuttle back and forth, but the other party just set up a square formation and walked slowly. Moving forward, it is obviously impossible for the infantry to catch up with the cavalry, so the opponent is not in a hurry to kill the enemy.

Not to mention how capable the enemy generals are, but they are stable enough.

After Ma Chao led the men to retreat for a distance, Zhentianlei was finally ready. He selected fifty soldiers who were good at throwing, and after each brought one, he asked them to protect their whole bodies from the horses that carried the load. After taking a vine shield on his back, he instructed: "After throwing the thunderbolt at the enemy's line, immediately withdraw from the battlefield, and the cavalry will arrive later!"

"Here!"

Everyone agreed, raised their rattan shields, and walked towards the reinforcements. When the reinforcements saw that they were dressed strangely, they quickly shot them with bows and crossbows.

More importantly, they don't know what these people mean by walking close with vine shields, do they think that these fifty people will be able to break through the formation?

The commander saw that Ma Chao had prepared the cavalry formation, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity, ready to attack at any time, his heart was even more condensed, and he did not dare to neglect, so the soldiers stopped and waited, not knowing what the opponent was fighting. idea.

Soon, those soldiers in rattan armor had arrived at a position less than twenty steps away from them.

"Prepare for battle!" The reinforcement general snorted coldly when he saw this. He really thought that he would have nothing to do with you by relying on that invulnerable armor?

But the next moment, these soldiers in rattan armor did not rush up directly, but took out bamboo tubes, and threw them towards this side under the stunned eyes of the reinforcement generals.

Although he didn't know what it was, the general found that the enemy cavalry had begun to meet again here. A Yuan Jun's shield hand watched the bamboo tube smashed down towards him. Although he didn't know what it was, he still raised his shield subconsciously. welcome.

"Boom~"

At the moment of contact, the bamboo tube suddenly exploded, and a huge force rushed in. The shield hand couldn't support his **** and sat on the ground. The shield in his hand was also shattered. The arm holding the shield seemed to have lost consciousness, and he continued to move. Can't do it all at once, just follow...

bang bang bang bang ~

Among the explosions one after another, some smashed on the shield, and the casualties were not too large. At most, the shield was blown up like the shield hand, and the arm was blown off or dislocated. But if the thunderbolt fell into the crowd. Once the Zhentian Lei exploded, the soldiers around him could be directly blasted into the air. The range was not large, but there were also three or five steps. Within this range, not only people and animals were killed, but they were either dead or injured.

But more importantly, the sound like a muffled thunder seemed to explode out of thin air in the army, and it was even more inexplicable, which directly made a group of reinforcements stunned. Where have you seen such a thing?

The fifty soldiers had already retreated quickly, and Ma Chao and his cavalry had already felt that the crossbow was surging forward, and the reinforcements and soldiers who were not protected by their shields were being reaped like mowing grass.

In Yuan Shao's army, there were not many soldiers who could wear armor. Most of them were wearing thicker clothes. How could they stop the cold crossbow arrows?

The leading generals had obviously never seen such a battle. The front row had already begun to collapse, and the archers in the back row launched sporadic counterattacks before being smashed by the soldiers in the front row.

The battle has come here, and the outcome has been decided. Although this general is experienced, he obviously has no ability to turn the tide. He was chased and killed by Ma Chao all the way. Yuan Jun was either shot to death while fleeing, or he knelt on the side of the road after seeing no hope of escape. Please drop.

The Jiang army had its own rearguard to deal with, and Ma Chao chased all the way to the foot of Gao Liucheng. Gao Gan personally led the army out of the city and wanted to contain it. Ma Chao stopped chasing and walked away.

Gao Gan's expression was a little ugly. Of the 3,000 soldiers sent out, only a few hundred were killed and rushed back. What's more troublesome was that many of the crossbows were lost.

Ma Chao circled around Gaoliu City a few times. Seeing that Gao Gan had no intention of going out to fight, he led his army to leave.

In this battle, Ma Chao's side also suffered losses, mainly because the horse stumbled or was shot and fell to death, but Yuan Shao's army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and thousands of prisoners chose to surrender, and were guarded by Fazheng's order.

"This repeating crossbow is quite ingenious." After Ma Chao returned, he took over the seized repeating crossbow, a little surprised.

This continuous crossbow is no worse than the Guanzhong repeated crossbow. It is no wonder that the repeated crossbow failed to restrain them. If it wasn't for the fact that the lord now has such things as the Vulcan cannon and the thunderbolt~www.readwn.com~ I want it only by the repeated crossbow. It's not easy to beat these people.

On Fazheng's side, several captives were released. When Ma Chao found out, he looked at Fazheng in surprise and said, "Why did Xiaozhi release them?"

Although there are not many, they are prisoners after all. Ma Chao hasn't figured out what to do with these prisoners. Fazheng's release is a bit inappropriate, right?

"The general's strategy to defeat the enemy is clear. I want to come to the general to make a quick decision." Fazheng looked at Ma Chao and smiled.

Ma Chao nodded, he couldn't keep up with logistics, the best way is to fight quickly!

"Jizhou has a lord, so the generals have to deal with, in fact, only Yuan Shao's troops in Youzhou."

"Exactly." Ma Chao nodded again, looked at Fa Zheng and said, "But what is the relationship between the two?"

"After I have shown them the thunderbolt that our army carried, let them go to Pingcheng to give orders. Tomorrow our army will use the thunderbolt to break the city. If the soldiers of Pingcheng do not surrender, after the city is broken, no prisoners will be taken! "Fazheng laughed.

"Deterrence?" Ma Chao looked at Fazheng and asked, "Even if this city is useful, it may not be the case in other cities."

"If you want to fight quickly, then you can't fight in a conventional way. One is to intimidate, and the other is to wait for an opportunity to fight. Even if it is a siege battle, all the thunder **** arrows and thunderbolts are used, and the enemy army must be defeated. The main force, and then these surrendered troops can be used to defeat the enemy." Fa Zheng said with a smile.

"You mean..." Ma Chao frowned and said, "We will use subjugation?"

"The surrendered army after the main force was defeated! Moreover, the surrendered army also has the usage of surrendering, and the general will know it by then." Fazheng smiled.

"Okay, I heard from the lord that Mr. is resourceful, just to see what Mr. is capable of!" Ma Chao nodded.
