Regarding the defeat of this battle similar to the outpost battle, Ma Chao did not think that he really couldn't beat Guo Peng.

The elite soldiers of Liangzhou not only compete for glory with cavalry and cavalry, but also compete with spears and infantry troops.

Ma Chao felt that his previous defeat was just a temporary defeat, and all his strength had not yet been brought into play, so he was a little careless.

He still wants to fight again.

"Uncle! I was only careless in the moment that I was defeated by the thief! I have a way to defeat Guo Zifeng! I can beat him! I can defeat him with my infantry army! ”

Han Sui shook his head and said: "Guo Zifeng's army has not lost its combat effectiveness because of the long journey, you see, his army is well-organized, orderly, and not scattered at all, is this a tired army?" This is clearly the division of tigers and wolves.

Our army is small in number, they are in large numbers, Chang'an is the most important, relying on the city wall to defend against Guo Zifeng's attack, dragging down his logistics, this is our chance to win this battle, the field front, not suitable for this battle. ”

Ma Chao was dissatisfied.

"The thief is in front of him, but he doesn't dare to kill, is this a man's move? At this time, the army retreated, and the morale fell, how can this battle be fought? The Liangzhou soldiers have always been brave and brave, and they are the crown of the world, how can Guo Zifeng's Kwantung soldiers fight against them? ”

Han Sui was not very happy when he heard it.

"Could it be that the annihilation of the army is a man's move? The Kwantung soldiers also have elites, don't underestimate any opponent! ”

"If you don't fight, how do you know that the whole army will be wiped out? Uncle is too afraid of Guo Zifeng, right?! ”

"Meng Qi! You ......"

Han Sui was so angry that he shook his hand and turned around and left.

"If you want to fight, go for it! I don't care about you! I'm leaving! If you are defeated by Guo Zifeng, don't say I didn't warn you in advance! ”

Han Sui was very annoyed, took away 5,000 people from his headquarters, and left the remaining 14,000 people to Ma Chao and let him continue to fight.

"Cowardly as a mouse, such a person is actually worthy of being called a brother and brother to his father, it is really funny to the world!"

Ma Chao ridiculed Han Sui for being as cowardly as a mouse, and ordered his subordinate Pang De and his brother Ma Dai to lead the army to advance with him.

If the cavalry can't fight, then let you see the housekeeping skills of the Liangzhou army!

Ma Chao reorganized the army, raised his own banner as the handsome banner, and guided the well-trained and battle-hardened Xiliang elites to form a military formation and move forward.

Facing the elite army of the Wei army, which was invincible all over the world, the elite of Xiliang raised their spears, held up the thick and tall shields, formed a military formation, and slowly moved forward step by step, moving forward in a large open area ahead.

Undaunted.

Over there, Guo Peng saw that part of the Liangzhou army seemed to be retreating, and the other part continued to move forward, and he didn't know what was happening.

But since part of the other party's army has retreated, isn't the remaining part here to deliver food?

Seeing that the number of soldiers and horses on the other side was far inferior to his own, Guo Mou, who liked to bully the weak the most, was of course overjoyed.

So Guo Peng ordered the Anbei general Zhang He, the Anxi general Cao Hong, the conquest general Zhu Ling, and the Huwei general Xia Zhao to each lead an army of 5,000 people to the battle.

He personally served as the commander-in-chief, raised his own banner as a commander, and led the 3,000 Tiger Guards into the Chinese army to command the battle.

The Liangzhou soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be less than 20,000 in number, but they were still moving forward with such iron, and after some observations, Guo Peng found that the spear formation of the Liangzhou soldiers was not bad.

The very tall shield, the bright spear, and the tight military formation look quite orderly.

In addition, Guo Peng also noticed that the large shield used by the Liangzhou soldiers was very tall, even taller than the iron shield he used, and it seemed to be thicker.

Such a tall shield will inevitably have a strong defense against the bow and crossbow when used, and ordinary bows and arrows are afraid that they will not be able to break the defense, only a strong crossbow will do.

Guo Peng immediately made a decision and passed the order, and the archers of all armies immediately retreated and left the battlefield, leaving only the strong crossbowmen in the formation.

After the order was conveyed and executed, Guo Peng's order was beaten to beat the war drums, and the four military formations lined up like a wall.

With the beating of the drums, the Wei army entered the open field, and the Liangzhou army formation on the opposite side was far away.

"I heard that in addition to cavalry, the Liangzhou soldiers are especially good at using spears and foot soldiers to fight, the formation is tight, and the prestige is all day long, so it's not bad to see it today."

Guo Peng said with a smile to Xun You and Lu Su beside him.

"When you lived in Chang'an, I heard that the Hu and Han people in Liangzhou lived together, and the people were fierce, because there were often vendettas between the various ethnic groups, and those who lacked horses were good at using spears, and the Han people in Liangzhou could even draw bows and arrows, and boys could fight with spears.

Sometimes when the battle is won, when the enemy is pursued, women and boys can ride horses and gallop, and it is not impossible to chase and kill all the way, which shows that the people of Liangzhou are not only good at riding horses, but also quite proficient in infantry tactics. ”

Xun You told Guo Peng and Lu Su about his understanding of the people of Liangzhou, Guo Peng didn't feel any surprise, but Lu Su was very surprised.

"Can women fight?"

Lu Su, who lives in Xuzhou, can't imagine that picture.

Guo Peng looked at Lu Su and said: "Zijing, a hundred years of chaos, in a place like Liangzhou, the day is not safe, and everyone who can survive is an elite soldier, so the individual combat power of the Liangzhou army is so strong. ”

Before he and Sun Jian led their troops to the front line, Dong Zhuo took the lead in attacking and sent Liangzhou Iron Cavalry to annihilate the troops of the two Kwantung coalition armies of Yingchuan and Hanoi, which frightened the straw bales of the Kwantung princes.

So Guo Peng was deeply impressed by this.

"I've heard of this Su, but I didn't expect the people of Liangzhou to survive like this."

Lu Su felt a little worried.

"In order to survive, there is nothing that people can't do, and this is true for the people of Liangzhou, and the same is true for us."

Guo Peng looked at Lu Su and Xun You, smiled, and said, "Gongda, you will command this battle." ”

"Yes!"

Xun You clenched his fists and took his life.

Looking at the approaching Liangzhou military formation, Xun You was very calm, and when they approached a certain distance, he decisively ordered the crossbowmen to prepare for shooting.

The crossbowmen sat down on the ground, pulled the strings with both hands, kicked the bow with both feet, and pulled the crossbow away with all the strength of their bodies, and someone next to them helped them with their arrows.

Shooting preparation is complete.

When the Liangzhou military array entered the firing range, Xun Yu gave an order, and thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the air, cut through the air in the air, crossed a beautiful arc, and fell steadily on the head of the Liangzhou military array.

It felt like a big piece of iron fell from the sky and smashed the head of the Liangzhou soldier, covering it.

Although the Liangzhou soldiers had been prepared and raised their shields, the thick shield won them a glimmer of life, but Guo Peng's choice of using a strong crossbow to attack the Liangzhou soldiers was correct.

The powerful crossbow with large weight, long range, and powerful penetration brought a lot of blows to Ma Chao's military array, so although the defense was tight, there were still a large number of people who were hit by arrows.

Many of the soldiers were crucified to the ground, dflated.

was crucified to be quite happy, at least there was no pain, only those who were shot and wounded were called pain, and they couldn't die anymore, or it was really a heart-piercing pain, howling and bleeding, which caused a certain degree of chaos in the Liangzhou military formation.

"Crossbow! How many strong crossbows does Guo Zifeng have?! ”

Ma Chao immediately realized that only a strong crossbow had such a long range and such a large penetrating power, but he had really never seen a strong crossbow of such a scale and quantity.

Before he could finish sighing, another round of arrows fell from the sky and pressed on it, falling heavily on the top of the Liangzhou military array, taking countless lives.

This very fierce battle of Badong began.
