Chapter 70: The Power of the Cool Moon
Ma Yue thought that the princes of the world flocked to Sun Jian because the Liang Kingdom had shown defeat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, of all the princes, including Liu Bei, none of them thought that the Liang Kingdom would really fail.
They just feel that if they don't cause trouble to Liang Guo again, the so-called hegemony of the world...... They don't have a chance.
Ma Yue, who has the advantage, always wants to dominate the world, so that the blade of the elite of the Liang Kingdom will no longer point at his compatriots. But as far as other princes are concerned, no one can have such a vision, and more people don't want the world to be unified again, at least not Ma Yue.
Xuzhou.
Sun Jian's battle against Haixi City has lasted for three days, and in these three days, Jiangdong soldiers and horses have tried their best, but they have never been able to capture this small city that is no more than three feet high.
Even he couldn't even use the means to surround the division.
Because the north of Haixi City is the sphere of influence of the Liang Kingdom...... There was a group of soldiers and horses stationed there, and although Sun Jian had not seen their banner, he spoke highly of the bravery of this army.
Second only to the Changshui Army who caused him trouble several times in Sizhou during the Zhongping years.
On the first day of the siege, Sun Jian laid down his troops and horses to besiege the three gates outside the northwest gate of Haixi, and ordered Sun Ben, an outstanding general among the sons and nephews of the sect, to set up an ambush in the forest in the northwest of Haixi, wanting to decide the ownership of Haixi City in a battle.
On that day, Sun Jian attacked three gates together, creating momentum with heavy troops, if ordinary defenders can't stand it alone, where can they still defend the city?
But the person guarding here is none other than Xu Huang, who is a famous general, following Ma Yue across the north and attacking everywhere...... Sun Wentai's tactics of war are nothing more than this in his eyes.
It is difficult to defend the city during the day, but at night, it is Xu Huang's world.
One of the trainings that the Liang King's armor army has undergone is night fighting!
The sound of the mute Qiang flute came from Haixi City in the middle of the night, and the officers on night in the Jiangdong camp chuckled...... It has been nearly two years since the Liangguo people went to Xuzhou, not to mention that there are many Liangzhou soldiers in their army, and there are people who died on the battlefield during the day, and now is the time to feel homesick.
Liangzhou people, homesick, right?
The vigilance was thus dispelled...... How elite will the sergeant who misses going home all day long?
But they didn't know that the sound of the Qiang flute was not the sorrow of homesickness, but the clarion call for the preparation of soldiers and horses.
When the Liangwang Armored Army stationed in Xuzhou went out to fight, it was specially selected to select men who had not yet started a family, and now most of them have wives and children in Xuzhou, and there is homesickness, but it is far from being strong to this point.
It was General Xu who asked them to blow the Qiang flute and prepare to attack the camp!
In the early hours of the morning, 800 hussars wrapped their horseshoes tightly with cloth, quietly opened the west gate, and rushed to the west camp of the Jiangdong army besieging Haixi City with canisters of fire oil and unlit torches.
After overturning the gate of the village, 800 iron horsemen rushed into the camp, and a group of people turned over on their backs, fire oil canisters were thrown everywhere, torches were set on fire by the campfires of Jiangdong, and spears and short knives poked at every Jiangdong sergeant who had just woken up from his sleep...... The Jiangdong army didn't even have time to be complacent, so it was trampled through the small half of the camp by the Liangguo Iron Cavalry, and the north wind was blowing at night, and the fire burned all the way through most of the camp with the help of the wind.
When Sun Jian of the Southern Battalion led his cavalry to rush to hear the wind, those Liangguo cavalry had already left, leaving him with only a burnt Western Battalion and burned sergeants everywhere.
This is not the end, in the early morning, Sun Ben, who had been sent to the north to set up an ambush earlier, led hundreds of wounded soldiers back to the camp with a bitter face to receive the punishment, as the nephew of the Jiangdong Tigers, who was now naked and covered with knife wounds.
When the cavalry of the Liangguo attacked the western camp at night, a group of men who were not even fully clothed and armored touched the woodland where they were ambushed with steel knives, and the battle suddenly broke out in the woods at night, and this army completely subverted Sun Ben's impression of the Liangzhou soldiers...... As the first nephew to follow Sun Jian, he participated in the battle of the siege of Ma Yue at Yuyuan Pass when he was young.
From then on, until now, the information he has is that Ma Yue is a person who cherishes the lives of his soldiers. In the past, it was generally a village warrior in the world, and it was good for hundreds of regular soldiers to have an iron armor, but at that time, almost all the Liangzhou soldiers under Ma Yue wore armor. Later, the armor of Liangzhou and the heavy armor of Liangguo, their armor became thicker and thicker.
In order to kill the elite of the Liang Kingdom in Haixi City, Sun Ben's subordinates were all strong men, and most of the weapons they were equipped with were heavy weapons that could cause shock injuries to the elite of the Liang Kingdom even if they did not break the armor.
But the group that attacked at night...... Sun Ben still wanted to cry without tears when he remembered the battle at night, those people didn't even have the armor they looked at, they were all light soldiers and light armor, but they were experienced in a hundred battles. Everyone is as light as a monkey in the woods, and it is an army of contradictions.
After a hundred battles, he didn't cherish his life, rushed to the woods set up by the Jiangdong army like a madman, and cut down people when he saw them!
What is even more insulting is that these people actually cut off the heads of dead people on the battlefield and tied their hair around their waists, like ...... The army of the pre-Qin was average, and even if the sword was added, the head had to be cut off.
Sun Ben did not think that he had lost, and he used an ambush force of 3,000 men against an enemy of 5,000 marks, and he also won no less than 1,500 of them, and many of them were killed when they cut off their heads.
But in the end, he could only be defeated, because his soldiers and horses did not dare to fight.
Fight against a force with a head tied around its waist, captives under its armpits, and a sword wielded to the death...... Who the fuck still has the will to fight?
That's a madman!
If Ma Yue is Sun Jian, he will be crazy at this time. He will definitely wave his hand with a mocking face and say, 'That's the Qingzhou Army, my Qingliang warrior of Da Liang!' ’
But Sun Jian is not Ma Yue, he can only replan his tactics with a depressed face.
In order to deal with the heavy troops of the Liang Kingdom, he did a lot of consideration, and even personally created a battle formation specifically to deal with the heavy troops of the Liang Kingdom, and let the sergeants practice in the south for more than a year...... Now you tell me that the main force of Liangguo is a light army, experienced in a hundred battles, not afraid of death, and loves the head very much?
Sun Jian has the heart to kill.
He sighed and waved his hand to let Sun Ben, who was guilty of Jing pleading, go down.
So there was a siege of the city that remained immobile for three days.
The lone wolf in Xiliang has become the king of Lao Liang, and the tiger in Jiangdong is also old.
He's just unwilling, how, how could he lose to that little gangster Ma Yue!
……
Ma Qing now almost hates his crow's mouth, and just said that if he is Zang Ba, he will set up an ambush on the way to extinguish his prestige.
As a result, Zang Ba came.
That's right, Zang Ba was more decisive than he thought, and he had already personally led 8,000 subordinates to ambush him on this road.
This kind of thing is actually much more difficult than imagined. The men must choose the brave, and they must not scream when the enemy walks under their noses, let alone have horses. Because horses are not human, they will be spotted if they snort.
Therefore, all the troops with war horses in the ambush must be hung far behind, and it is almost impossible to see the battlefield ahead, and they need the forward foot soldiers to pass the opportunity and strike a blow.
The best ambush area is the road with large hillsides on both sides, only a few good hands who are good at hiding are needed to ambush on the hillside, and people are hiding on the side of the hillside.
Although Ma Qingguang wanted to slap his mouth when Zang Ba's ambush appeared, it was not because he was panicked, it was simply because he expected that the enemy would have ambushes.
The archer did not dismount, the rider did not dismount, and this was already a good situation on the march.
All of a sudden, the men shouted that the horses were neighing, and the swords were unsheathed.
Five thousand soldiers and horses, not too much, no less, opened nearly three miles on the official road, like a big long snake across the road, coldly being attacked by people head to tail.
"This Zang Ba's vision is not vicious, Ah Dut, you quickly go to the rear army to command the troops and horses to shrink the front line to the center, I estimate that soon the enemy's cavalry will rush down from the hillside here!" Ma Qing pulled his horse and whipped his horse, pointed to the hillside a few miles away, and said: "I'll order the front army, let's try to minimize casualties, and then plan for the future!" ”
Dong Yu had nothing to say at this time, and with a 'poof' sound, he pulled out two precision-forged arc knives from the scabbard on the horse's body, slapped the horse with the blade, and then ran towards the rear army with his mount.
Inheriting Dong Zhuo's excellent riding skills, Dong Blunt's riding skills with dual weapons on horses are very handsome even in Liangzhou.
Ma Qing also slapped his horse and galloped away, and roared and ordered the front army to stabilize the formation and shrink to the middle.
Zang Ba set up an ambush in this place, and he must have been ready to attack them!
Fighting the people of Xuzhou on the land of Xuzhou is already very difficult in itself. Ma Qing knew that every grass and tree here, the enemies were far more familiar than them!
The marching formation of the long snake ensures that it does not rely on the terrain to maintain the marching speed to the greatest extent, but once it is ambushed, it is also the most painful formation to be attacked.
The head of the snake has been trampled by the enemy, and the tail of the snake has been bitten to death by the enemy. At this time, if Zang Ba personally led a cavalry to roll down the hillside and cut off the weak center, he would divide them into two parts and surround them in the blink of an eye...... At that point, it's not up to them to decide!
"Spear soldiers, hold tight positions under the hillside! If Zang Ba comes down from that place, Lao Tzu wants you to stab his bastard to death with your own hands! "Every descendant of the Ma clan has a grudge against Zang Ba, especially Ma Qing! Ma Qing was even more angry, while assigning the subordinate contraction front in the melee of the front army, while pointing to the Chinese army's order to pass the order, shouting over and over again: "Shrink the formation, shrink to the Chinese army!" ”
He wants to let his soldiers and horses lay out a pocket formation, as long as the Chinese army is thick enough, he is not afraid of cavalry hitting the middle of the formation!
Ma Qing's uncles are very poor, unlike those uncles who started murders, each of them controls a large and scarce piece of fertile land in Liangzhou, and has elite soldiers in their hands to do some dirty private work for them; is not as bold as Dong Erbo, most of the rewards for raising slaves and maids when he was young were given by Dong Erbo; Even, Ma Qing has no feelings for the 'eldest lady' surnamed Pei buried in Zhangshan.
But this did not prevent him from remembering the warmth and affection in his eyes when his uncles surnamed Pei hugged him when he was young.
Zang Ba is a very good general, he has his own appeal in Xuzhou, and he can unite heroes to resist the strong cold, he is definitely not a ruthless villain, he is definitely a hero with his own charm!
'But Zang Ba, is this how you killed my uncle? ’
Ma Yue stiffened his neck, holding the precision forging arc knife and staring at the high slope three miles to the south, he knew that if it was Zang Ba himself who commanded the ambush cavalry, then he would definitely appear there.
The horses under the crotch snorted uneasily, and hundreds of Liang King's armored horsemen gathered behind Xiao Liang Wang, watching their master Sisi grit his teeth and pull down the hideous face armor, and draw out the ring knife, the whole person only showed a pair of hateful eyes.
Fuck, Zangba, come on!
Here you go!
