Chapter Eighty-Four: Out of the Valley and Attacking
Hanzhong Army, Chinese Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huge banners fluttered in the wind, tens of thousands of sect members marched forward neatly and steadily, and the entire large array was divided into nine small military formations, each of which was guarded by sect cavalry, and scattered sentry horses in more distant places.
Times are changing, and the more fierce annexation wars have brought the combat power of all the princes in the whole world, and now it is no longer fashionable to wear yellow turbans in uprisings, but these believers who believe in five buckets of rice are still dazzling when they walk in the wilderness.
100,000 vegetarian!
The dark armor of these cultists is covered with white linen robes...... They are wearing filial piety for Zhang Lu, this battle is also a battle of revenge!
And what terrified the Liangguo Sentinels hidden in the distant mountains the most was the astonishing red color of those cultist army formations...... That is the color of the Liang country's strong crossbow, and it is also the color of the Liang country's heavy bow, they are different from the previous rebel army, with the middle-class armor and equipment in the Liang country, they can be called the strongest soldiers in the world!
What is even more terrifying is their minds armed with faith!
Whoever imagines them as a rabble of the Yellow Turban period must have had their heads soaked in the saltwater river for too long.
And in the nine large army formations, on the high platform carried by nearly 100 people, there was a beautiful girl sitting cross-legged, a smile that could tick a man's heartbeat, a white veil covered the delicate face, only revealing a pair of transcendent eyebrows.
This is the head coach after the Wudoumi Sect Zhang Lu, Zhang Qiying.
On the official road in the distance.
Ma Chao nodded as if he was in water, and the horse brought back two very useful information, first, the enemy army was not far from their ambush location; Second, the Hanzhong army has amazingly high long-range weapons.
They expected to set up an ambush on the flat ground between two hillsides, and when the Hanzhong army arrived here, the cavalry on both sides charged out, and the enemy was routed.
But now...... The strong crossbow of the Hanzhong army was enough to threaten and even kill the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom, so Ma Chao could not take this risk.
The order was immediately given, and the subordinates retreated ten miles and moved to a valley in the north.
This is the entrance of the long and narrow valley, and there are nearly ten miles of valley road on both sides of the canyon road to explain the cliff wall 100 steps high, which is regarded as a treasure land of feng shui with less hits.
Ma Chao is going to set up an ambush here.
The foot soldiers with heavy crossbows and strong bows climbed up under the leadership of Yang Qiu, and more than 5,000 crossbowmen were ambushed on the mountain road, Ma Chao had given a death order, and he must project again when the enemy army was defeated, and if the battle ahead failed to start, the ambush soldiers must also stand still.
According to the scout's report, the nine large formations of the Hanzhong army are difficult to be defeated on the plain, because no matter which direction they attack, they will face the strangulation of the three army formations and fight back, and only by relying on the terrain to make the enemy change the formation, can the Hanzhong army show its flaws.
And this valley road is the place where the Hanzhong army must change formations and march.
The widest part of the valley is only three miles, and the narrowest place is even less than one mile, there is no accident, the enemy army will definitely put out a long snake formation to march, and when the enemy army goes out of the valley, it will take time to prepare the formation, and then it will be the opportunity for Ma Chao.
"There is a strong enemy in advance, and there is a hanging arrow in retreat...... I, Ma Mengqi, want to see what else Wudoumi Xiaoer can do! ”
To be honest, Ma Chao is a little disdainful of these demons of the Wudoumi Sect, and the people of Liangzhou are superstitious, such as Li Dao Guo Yan, who are all serious Liangzhou people, and they believe in those witchcraft and the religion of ghosts and gods.
But Liangzhou Ma's family doesn't believe in gods, starting from Ma Yue, whoever wants to say anything like witch Gu in front of him can only be exchanged for the sound of the old Liang King humming through his nostrils.
Over time, who will still believe in the witch gods?
But Ma Yue believes that there are gods who are three feet above their heads, they just don't believe in people...... In the past twenty years, the most ferocious sage and good teacher shouted that the sky was dead all day long, and Zhang Banxian, who was standing in the yellow sky, didn't he exhaust himself to death in the end?
King Liang said that it was a curse, and shouted all day long that the sky was dead, and in the end he was not cursed to death by the sky.
said that Ma Yue believed in God, but he scoffed at all beliefs in the world, but if you want to say that he doesn't believe in it, he will be anxious with you, and tell you that people want to believe that there are gods in this world.
People always have to believe something, especially when they are in a high position.
There are gods in the first three feet, which means that people should be in awe. Only with a sense of awe for the unknown can we restrain our out-of-the-ordinary behavior, which contributes to the safety of ourselves and the safety of the group.
Only by believing something, but not being superstitious, can you behave properly, even if you do dirty things in the dark room, there will always be some witness.
This helps everyone to be relatively self-disciplined.
It is the saints who can be completely self-disciplined, and more ordinary people need some help if they want to be self-disciplined.
"Finally, again, this battle is very important, Ma does not want to drag it out for too long, this is the first internal rebellion of my Daliang since the founding of the country!" Ma Chao called Pang De, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and other generals and captains, and even the military marquis to his side, and said loudly: "Since we have been ordered to eliminate the thieves, we will use the power of thunder to eliminate the traitors, and warn the hearts of the world!" ”
No one will regard Dong Zhuo's little conflict in Longdu as a real rebellion, King Liang has defined the matter, saying that Dong Er is old and confused, where will the people below make a fuss about this matter again?
Whether it is Dong Er or Ma San, they are usually smiling heroes, and they are losing their temper, they are all guys who can't wait to choose people to eat!
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Liang Kingdom have begun to perform their duties, some have eliminated the traces of the march of the brigade in the valley road, and many more have entered the pre-battle preparations, staying in their rightful positions and chatting with each other to relieve the last tension.
The big war is coming, and there are always some people who are a little unlucky and can't survive in the end...... This has nothing to do with martial arts, or even with armor, or even with the talent of generals, life and death on the battlefield are only related to luck.
Ma Chao's words are not serious at all, this time is indeed the first internal rebellion since the Liang Kingdom, if it cannot be suppressed by thunderous means, the same thing will continue to happen in the future.
'Thorny...... Sting'
Ma Chao frowned, in the process of his lecture, there was always a harsh voice, and when he looked at it, it was Cheng Yi sitting in the corner sharpening his knife.
Sharpening a knife is a very romantic thing, and Cheng Yi's knife is also a large cool mirrored steel arc knife, the man's rough palm is stained with some grease, and the blade is rubbed on the smooth stone, which is the favorite thing of every samurai who often mixes the battlefield.
Sharpening the knife calms the mind, but at this time...... It doesn't seem to be so timely.
Ma Chao saw that it was Cheng Yi, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he said with a rare and pleasant face: "Uncle Cheng, wait and grind, it's too late." ”
Cheng Yi put away the arc knife with a smile, tied the rattan rope to the blade, and smiled at Ma Chao: "Yes, it's too late to wait." ”
Of course it's in time...... Cheng Yi took a deep breath and looked at Ma Chao with a somewhat intriguing look.
I just don't know who this knife will cut at!
The probe horse reported that the enemy army entered the valley.
All went into combat positions.
Liang Guo's iron horse pulled the horse and hid in the one-person-high fluffy grass, the whole army lined up, the horse's mouth was holding something, the halter was locked and could not make a sound, and people were even more nervous to look into the distance through the fluffy grass.
The funeral army of the whole army brought huge psychological pressure to the soldiers of Liangguo from a distance.
I have not heard the wailing, but I have seen their funeral hearts.
Ma Chao led the horse and paced under the fluffy grass, his eyes were fixed on the army like his subordinates, thinking about a lot of things, but there was no fear.
He was wondering how he could crush the army once and for all.
Before seeing them, Ma Chao thought they were just a group of militiamen...... How could a small man raise a regular army of 100,000 people?
But now, Ma Chao admits that what he has to face is indeed an army of 50,000 people!
The enemy army quickly rushed out of the valley road, and everyone knew that the narrow valley road was a place of right and wrong, and it should not be left for a long time.
However, the exit of the valley road is too narrow, and the army that walks out of the valley road will inevitably have some relaxation to get out of the danger, and the army preparation seems to be a little slow.
It was carried by a phalanx of 100 people, hung on countless high platforms with road flags, and slowly walked out of the valley road.
Ma Chao's arm holding the reins was raised, and the surrounding military marquis raised their palms one after another, and the military order was passed on silently.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the order to charge.
When the tall altar of the platform completely walked out of the valley road, the ghost soldiers of the Hanzhong army had already landed sparsely at the mouth of the valley to form several large formations, and nearly half of the sergeants had already left the valley, Ma Chao knew that the time he was waiting for had come!
"Charge on the horse, sons and daughters of Liangguo, sweep away, rebel against the party!"
Ma Chao shouted, pulled down the beast armor on the lion's helmet, the silver mask covered the handsome face, an iron spear circled in his palm, and the person had turned over and galloped out of the horse, shouting: "Charge, charge!" ”
At this moment, it was like thunder on the flat ground, and on the empty Liangzhou field, tens of thousands of Liangguo troops suddenly seemed to be divine soldiers descending from the sky, suddenly turned on their horses, and crashed out of the tall fluffy grass, shouting and screaming in the obscure Liangzhou dialect and charging out.
Ma Chao took the lead, holding a spear and shouting loudly to dispatch the army, now he is not a general, since he is a marshal, he must take on the mission of a marshal, and Pang De and others will naturally take on the charge.
What's more, in order to make meritorious contributions, those military marquis commanders are only afraid that they are much more reliable than them when they charge.
The soldiers and horses of the Liang State Army suddenly stood out, which really caught the Hanzhong ghost soldiers off guard and caused a brief panic to the enemy army.
But without the panic as Ma Chao imagined, the fighting will of these ghost pawns of the new Heavenly Master was obviously much higher than expected, and they unsheathed their swords and guns, set up bows and crossbows painted with red paint, and threw arrows into the formation of the Liang National Army one by one.
The wails were all over the field, and for the first time, the sergeant of Liangguo tasted the bitter fruit of being attacked by the weapon he had developed.
