"General, General Ma Dai in front is surrounded by enemy troops!" The herald's hooves rolled up an earth dragon and galloped up the hillside, heading straight for Xu Huang's camp. "Three troops, General Ma Dai continued to charge forward, and his subordinates had already engaged the enemy when they reported the news!"

The mighty 5,000 soldiers and horses had already assembled, and Xu Huang had just released the scouts before pulling out the camp, but he didn't expect that Ma Dai, who was the vanguard, would get into the enemy's pocket in the blink of an eye.

Pulling out the saber from his waist and turning over on his horse, Xu Huang shouted loudly: "Order, the whole army gets on the horse, and helps General Ma Dai rush out of the enemy formation!" ”

This sentence of rushing out of the enemy formation is not a joke, Ma Dai's department is under siege, charging forward is the best way, and what needs to be faced is only the enemy army. If Xu Huang or the reinforcements behind him wanted to charge the battle with Ma Daibu, they would face at least two enemy forces, which meant that no matter how many men and horses they needed to face, they would need to kill through the enemy formation.

The five thousand Liangguo troops mounted their horses and charged forward. Xu Huang left three teams of scouts to send messages to the reinforcements dozens of miles away, and led most of them straight to Ma Dai's headquarters that were trapped in the enemy formation. In fact, the stability of a great country often does not lie in the small decisions of the rulers, but in the birth and death of ordinary guards who have left their homeland again and again.

Just like now.

The people of the Liang Kingdom did not hesitate at all, and the three soldiers and horses did not hesitate to take action when they received the news. Ma Chao and Yan Xingbu immediately followed Ma Dai and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, Wang Shuang obliquely went around the encirclement to the rear to meet Ma Dai and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, and Ma Yue and Guan Yu joined forces to spread out scouts for fifty miles, and at the same time moved towards Zhao Guo Sichang City.

"Gongsun Yue...... Gongsun Yue, what a boldness! Ma Yue stood on the railing of the car, and his fingers tightly clasped the hilt of the knife and said to Cui Jun: "Let the people of the Chopwood Courtyard send all the information of the generals under Gongsun Zhan, and compare the information of the terrain of Zhao with Gongsun Yue's arrangement to find out how to break the enemy!" ”

Having been in charge of intelligence work for a long time, the Pichai Institute is now in charge of more comprehensive work than before, and can play its greatest role in both wartime and peacetime. This is the only way for a department to ensure that it is not banned, especially in a place like Liangguo.

Secret orders were issued by the riders beside Cui Jun, and the retinue of the Chopwood Courtyard hidden in the Chinese army carried stacks of letters and files onto the car, and the annotations on them covered almost all the affairs of Gongsun Zhan's subordinates.

The array was slowly moving, and Ma Yue looked through the file, learning about his enemies as quickly as possible.

Because the war has already begun.

Ma Dai's legion did not hesitate, and when he knew that he was surrounded, he did not intend to sit still, and immediately ordered the array to adjust to the wartime queue and charge forward.

The heavily armored foot soldiers overturned the horses, the heavily armored cavalry scattered the wings, and the sergeants with heavy crossbows in groups tightened the strings, and the crossbow chariots and gravel cannons were assembled and pushed by the sergeants.

Ma Dai's plan was very risky, he wanted to move the army to the enemy's position in front, take the lead in defeating the enemy's army, occupy its position, set up camp on the spot, rely on the enemy's already erected camp as a protection, and face the pursuing enemy army behind him.

With one enemy against three, or even more enemies.

Ma Dai raised two fingers and pointed to the left and right, the attendant waving the command flag behind him waved the flag, and several squads of cavalry rushed out of the two wings, holding bows and crossbows towards the forest path with an unopen field of vision.

Before the start of the war, the scouts between Liang and Ji had already begun to fight.

Wherever you can hide your form, the battle is silent.

Crossbows and arrows clash, long knives and halberds fought.

At the southern end of the Jizhou Plain, the two armies and horses occupy each other's favorable terrain, Ma Dai occupies a high slope, and the troops in front of the commander do not know who is relying on the camp to line up, and the same herald rider continues to run in the queue, and the queue continues to produce new changes.

The other party saw that the cavalry of Ma Dai's department was more than the foot soldiers, and carried siege weapons in the military formation, so he placed the cavalry in front of the formation, wanting to attack the foot soldiers to achieve the purpose of destroying the siege ordnance, and placed more archers and spear halberd sergeants on both sides to resist the impact of the cavalry in Ma Dai's army.

At first glance, there is no flaw in this situation, but the information available to both sides is simply not equal.

The generals in Gongsun Zhan's army didn't know a little more about the situation of the Liang State Army than the princes in other parts of the world, but Ma Dai knew all the standard equipment in Gongsun Zhan's army.

Their horses were chosen Youzhou military horses, which were small in stature but had enough stamina to be good at running and constantly riding and shooting, but they did not have much advantage in the charge. The standard armor is only equivalent to the level of light armor protection in Liangzhou, and the weapons are mostly riding bows and spears. A large number of foot soldiers brought sufficient cover for the cavalry, but they were not elite, but they were just a few newly recruited Jizhou soldiers, all of whom were comparable to the imperial court soldiers and horses with their blood and bravery.

As the opposing sergeant wrapped in the cavalry rolled towards the hillside of his own Chinese army, Ma Dai did not panic in the slightest, but only raised his palm to give the order to attack.

The most terrifying scene of the enemy's imagination of the Liangguo heavy cavalry charge did not appear, but saw the opponent's foot soldiers building rows of fences with wooden thorns in front of the formation, rows of crossbowmen with heavy armor lying on the ground and kicking their crossbows, while the archers stood behind the exhibition and raised their strong bows and threw the first round of arrows down the hillside.

To the surprise of the Jizhou cavalry, the archers on the opposite side were like fools, as if they were going to rush to death, and advanced forward in columns, facing the cavalry that was charging forward.

Aren't they afraid of being pierced by the spears of the cavalry?

You must know that the foot soldiers and archers without the protection of spears and halberds are like fragile Cai Hou paper touching sharp knives in front of the charging cavalry, and they can only be easily cut in half.

Then they saw the huge catapults in the enemy's formation activated, and five hundred sergeants pulled the ropes in front of the ten catapults, and then the sergeants loosened the ropes as the cavalry rushed hundreds of paces away.

With a huge thrust, the arm of the gravel cannon turned one hundred and eighty degrees in an instant, and hundreds of sheep stones flew out in the air, smashing into the charging cavalry with a scream...... They couldn't stop, the horses couldn't stop the momentum in an instant, and the sheep stones in the air deviated from the straight flight trajectory because of the interaction between the weight and the rope, spreading a larger area, and only then did the opposing general clearly realize his mistake.

The Liangguo army did not set up an attack formation, even if the enemy's cavalry was on both flanks, it had no intention of attacking with the Liangguo heavy cavalry that shocked the world ten years ago.

The sheep stone with the noose smashed in pieces in the galloping cavalry, the rope stopped on the neck and body of the cavalry, the sheep stone smashed the head of the cavalry behind him, and then dragged the two cavalrymen who were tied to the rope off their horses, such a scene occurred in the 500-step cavalry formation lined up by the Jizhou cavalry.

Those sheep stones the size of human heads became the most ferocious weapons at this moment, and all the riders and horses that touched the stones were all smashed, and the sound of broken bones was heard on the battlefield, and people turned on their backs.

The Jizhou cavalry, who were still arrogant a moment ago, finally knew the enemy's plan when they fell to the ground and were bruised all over their bodies, and they rushed to the enemy's attack range as if looking for death, and then they were smashed all over their bodies, and the entire cavalry team of more than 1,000 people was smashed by a round of stones, and less than 300 people sat on their horses. The sound of Ming Jin was heard in the camp, and the cavalrymen who had been showing off their might a moment ago hurriedly turned their horses and tried to flee back into the formation, but it was too late.

Those crazy Liangguo archers had advanced to a hundred paces away from them, those who threw arrows at their hands wantonly, and reaped the lives of the fallen cavalry under the strong bows and crossbows, even those who turned around and wanted to run, and the rain of arrows from the sky completely enveloped them.

Standing on high ground, the Liangguo archers shrouded the distance of three hundred paces in front of them in their own range, and endless arrows were thrown out, turning the blocked cavalry stormtroop into a Shura field.

"Want to retreat? Too late. "Ma Dai is opening his arms, and the flag behind him is unfurled, and the Liangguo cavalry in two teams finally received the order for them to attack, buckle the fierce face armor carved with evil ghosts, pull out the precision forged ring knife that has been polished several times around his waist, pull up the reins and gallop down!" Kill them all! ”

Ten years ago, the Liangzhou armored army was famous all over the world, and for the first time changed the combat mode with infantry as the main force and cavalry as the supplement, which attracted the princes of the world to buy horses and cast armor for a while. Even based on the horses killed in the battle of the Liangzhou cavalry, the different assembly from the cavalry of the own side was checked, and strange objects such as the Takahashi saddle and the stirrup horse's paw were discovered, which changed the importance of cavalry in the war of the world.

So much so that in the duel between the princes of the world after the establishment of the Liang Kingdom and the stability of the northwest, the cavalry was once used as the main force of the campaign, and the princes of all walks of life vied with countless offensive tactics with cavalry as the main force, thus overthrowing the fundamental strategy of the foot soldier as the king for hundreds of years. How powerful a prince's fist is, built on how large a cavalry formation he can build.

Heavy cavalry has become the dominant force in today's war.

It took them so long to assemble a huge cavalry force, only to be knocked to the ground in the first expedition of Ryokoku.

At least, that's the case in Gongsun Yue's heart.

Gongsun Yue, who fled with a few relatives, had already ignored the reinforcements that were surrounding and moving behind, and he clearly knew that even with more soldiers and horses, it would be difficult to stop the army of Liangguo, so he wanted to send the news back as soon as possible and bring it to Yecheng's brother.

They were wrong, they went the wrong way. They thought that Ma Yue relied on invincible cavalry that swept the world, but in fact this was not the case.

Ma Yue's foot soldiers, archers, and weapons are all the heroes of the world.

They only have elite cavalry, what do they take to fight?
