First of all, they used the method of slashing with knives and axes, that is, holding the weapons in their hands, but trying to destroy the box car.

But these coarse logs that make up the flat box car, at least the thickness of the bowl mouth, are not the kind of delicate and small jade bowls, but the kind of coarse porcelain bowls most commonly used by the common people.

This can't help but make Sima Jun very speechless, they almost exhausted their efforts, paid an unknown number of casualties, only to reluctantly rushed to the front of the flat box car, but only to find that these flat box cars, turned out to be extremely strong, want to destroy it, try to be more difficult than ascending to the sky, not counting the continuous return of fire by the state army, to give the Sima soldiers close to the flat box car a heavy blow, just let Sima Jun to destroy these flat box cars, even if they make the strength of the milk, they can't move a bit, just rely on the sword in their hands, Even if it is cut for a day, there may not be any good results.

Fire attack is the second method that Sima Jun thought of, fire can overcome wood, even if the sword can't cut these woods, then can't it be burned by setting fire?

So Sima Jun prepared a large number of torches, and after rushing to the front of the flat box trucks, he threw these torches at the flat box cars one after another, trying to burn the flat box cars with fire.

But Malone already had a means of defense, in the back of each flat box car, there are water bags sewn with animal skins, which store a large amount of water, once Sima Jun threw the torches over, and the state army took water to extinguish these torches, and in the process of watering, the flat box car was also drenched, originally these logs were freshly cut down trees, the trunk was wet and not easy to catch fire, plus drenched, even if there were some remaining torches burning underneath, but still could not ignite the flat box car.

In order to be able to attack the front of the flat box car formation, Sima Jun really paid a considerable price, almost every impact they made was paved with corpses and blood all over the ground, and the arrows of the state army rained down, and countless Sima soldiers were killed and wounded.

Everyone who can stand in front of the flat box car formation can be said to be lucky, but after rushing to the front, they found that this is a great tragedy, these flat box cars are extremely strong, the knife cannot be cut, the fire cannot be burned, no matter how hard they try, they can not take a step forward.

Chen Tai didn't expect that it would be such an ending, originally thought that this time he led 10,000 foot cavalry to join the horse, and he would definitely be able to defeat such a 3,000-strong Bingzhou army in one battle, after all, from that point of view, this is a contest of disparity in strength, and there is no reason why Sima Jun will lose to the Bingzhou army.

But the reality taught Chen Tai a lesson, in the plains, the cavalry is not invincible, and if the infantry adopts more appropriate defensive means, it will still bring great trouble to the invincible cavalry.

Chen Tai is indeed a little anxious now, the repeated attacks have been frustrated so that he has suffered heavy losses, looking from a distance, the entire Wulongkou battlefield is full of corpses, almost every step forward, you can see the corpse of a person or a war horse, this has almost become the cemetery of Sima Jun.

With 10,000 people to fight 3,000 people, Chen Tai is probably unprecedented, and the state army is all cowered in the flat box car, Chen Tai can't see the situation inside, and he doesn't know their casualties, but the density of arrows shot from the car array has never decreased, it is still so dense, it seems that their people have been 3,000 from beginning to end, and they have never reduced one.

Chen Tai's face was extremely ugly, originally he thought that he relied on continuous attacks to consume the arrows of the Bingzhou army, and after a long time, the bows and arrows of the Bingzhou army would be unsustainable, after all, according to common sense, the arrows carried by any archer are limited, according to the equipment of the Sima army, an archer will bring a maximum of twenty arrows, and now after shooting for most of the day, the arrows of the Sima army have almost run out.

But the arrows of the state army seem to be endless, endless, according to the development of this situation, even if Chen Tai fights all the 10,000 people, he may not be able to consume the arrows of the state army.

In fact, it is true that before Malone set out on the expedition, he prepared a large number of arrows, just ordinary arrows, he prepared 200,000 arrows, not including the arrows of the crossbow, such a huge number of arrows, it is definitely not possible to carry them by soldiers alone, each person has to carry several large bundles, and he has to die of exhaustion.

But Malone has his own tricks, the huge wooden boxes on the flat box car are empty, so the bows and arrows needed by the infantry, Malone is arranged to be placed in the wooden box, and it is very convenient to take it at any time.

Not only that, but the grain and grass required by the pioneer battalion are all stored in these flat wooden boxes, so these flat box trucks are constantly the defensive weapons of the pioneer battalion, and they also play the role of baggage trucks, killing two birds with one stone.

Marlon's flat box cart formation relies on two weapons, one is the flat box cart and the other is the bow and arrow.

The flat box trucks provided a strong defense for the pioneer battalion, so Malone built these vehicles quite strongly, and no matter what means the enemy used, it would be difficult to destroy the flat box trucks.

However, if there is no one to protect it, the flat box car will be a dead thing after all, so while building the flat box car extremely strong, Malone prepared a large number of arrows to arm the vanguard battalion, as long as the enemy comes to attack and tries to destroy the flat box car, it will make him pay a heavy price.

In fact, the ancestors of this infantry combat method of chariot formation have not been adopted, even the previous state army, Cao Liang is equipped with a partial van, which can resist the attack of the enemy's cavalry to a certain extent, but because the mobility of the chariot formation method is too poor, it is difficult to completely become the preferred combat method of infantry. Just imagine, if the enemy does not attack, then even the strongest chariot will be useless.

Marlon's flat box cart formation is almost an extreme of the chariot formation, and the sturdy and desperately flat box cart is by no means something that the enemy can destroy by ordinary means, and the infantry in the battle array is all pure crossbow soldiers, and Malone is not equipped with other troops, or the proportion of other arms is very small.

For a long time, the configuration of infantry arms has been in the form of learning from each other's strengths, and the various arms of the armed forces should be rationalized as much as possible, so that the offensive and defensive can be balanced.
