Chapter 977 I can't afford to provoke and I can't hide
In fact, there are not many people in the Sima army who have participated in the battle of Hanoi, so they are only famous for the flat box car and have not seen it, and they don't know the power of the flat box car formation at all. → eight → eight → read → books, .↓.o≥
What's more, at this moment, they were on the way to escape, panicking, and they didn't have time to think about what this chariot formation was in front of them.
After the flat box car formation was deployed, the width of the defense reached more than three times the original width, and the front and rear of the car were connected, like a long dragon, lying across the banks of the Uma River.
As soon as the first camp received the news of the retreat of the Sima army, it immediately carried out deployment, and when the Sima army retreated to the bank of the Wuma River, the flat box car formation was already in strict formation, Ma Long saw the Sima army coming all over the mountains, and immediately ordered the first camp to attack, in order to prevent the Sima army from approaching the flat box car.
The chaotic arrows rained down and shot towards the Sima army who rushed over, and the Sima army who rushed in front immediately turned on their backs, and countless people fell to the ground.
In the chaotic situation, Sima Jun had no ability to organize an attack at all, and could only rush in a swarm. The experience of the Battle of Hanoi proved that if you want to get close to the flat box formation, the most important thing is the coordination of all arms, and the charging cavalry must be equipped with a shield with a large enough protective area, and must be under the cover of archers to have the opportunity to rush to the front of the flat box formation at the minimum cost.
But it is only to be able to impact the front, how to break through the defense line of the flat box car formation, but there is no solution, Chen Tai attacked continuously for a day, paid a very heavy price of casualties, and never found a way to break the defense, which shows that the flat box car is an insurmountable natural danger for the cavalry.

Although the theory of the catapult broken formation thrown by Cao Liang made Malone very disappointed for a while, Malone quickly regained his confidence, because Cao Liang told him that there is no absolute spear or absolute shield in this world, everything is mutually reinforcing, and the flat box car formation has almost no power to fight back in front of the catapult, but against the cavalry, it is an impregnable line of defense, as long as the conditions are used properly, the flat box car formation can still play a considerable role.
After all, the catapult is huge and bulky, difficult to move, and there has never been a precedent for its application in the field, and the Sima army may not be equipped with the catapult at all times, especially in this Jinzhong war, the Sima army dispatched all the cavalry troops with strong mobility, which undoubtedly created a good condition for the use of the flat box car.
Without the threat of catapults, the flat box car formation is almost invincible, and after Deng Long accepted this task of blocking, he was naturally full of confidence.
And the bank of the Wuma River, is also the most ideal place to block, the first camp lined up, across a range of nearly ten miles, on one side is the turbulent Wuma River, on the other side of the steep mountain, Sima Jun wants to bypass, must cross the river or climb the mountain.
As a cavalry, whether it is crossing a river or climbing a mountain, it is a very difficult thing, of course, it is not impossible, but the first thing to do is to abandon the horse, swim across the river or over the mountains, although you can escape from the predicament temporarily, but without the war horse, the speed of escape will be greatly reduced, this place is still far away from Jiexiu, and it is extremely difficult to escape.
Ma Long calculated that there was no possibility for Sima Jun to break the defense, so he deliberately ordered the soldiers who arrived in the camp first to reduce the number of arrows, lure Sima Jun to the front of the flat box car formation as much as possible, and then strangled them with bows and arrows and Changqiang.
Sima Jun didn't know what to do, and thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they rushed up one after another, rushing towards the flat box car array, and rushed to the front only to find that the flat box car was simply indestructible, whether it was a knife and an axe, at most it could only chop off some wood chips, and it was impossible to shake the solid body of the flat box painting.
The means of arson are also not good, and the state military has already poured the flat box car with water, and the entire body of the car is wet, and it cannot cause a fire at all, even if the torch is thrown on it, it will soon be extinguished.
Sima Jun's despair, seeing the shouts of killing behind him, the cavalry of the state army had chased and killed all the way, but they were blocked in front of this impregnable wooden wall, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
Sima Jun rushed to the front, is the best opportunity to go to the camp to harvest life, the crossbow shot at close range, it was a devastating blow to Sima Jun, hundreds of crossbows were fired at the same time, forming a death fan, extremely terrifying, Sima Jun's men and horses fell down in pieces.
However, there is still a crowd of people behind, trampling on the corpses in front of them, but there is a kind of strange scene of forgetting life and death.
The main reason is that the Bingzhou army behind them covered up all the way and forced the Sima army to the front in an almost driven way, and in a desperate situation, they could only move forward.
And there is no way out, tens of thousands of horses gather in this narrow area, and they will die in the future, and they will die in the future, and countless people will cry bitterly, despairing to collapse.
The catastrophic scene was finally staged, and Sima Yi's worries finally turned into reality, the flat box car, Cao Liang really used the flat box car, the big nemesis of the cavalry, and finally became the last straw that overwhelmed Sima Jun.
Although Sima Yi had not witnessed the flat box car before, he had seen the report of the Battle of Hanoi, and Chen Tai's cavalry was defeated by the flat box car, which undoubtedly aroused Sima Yi's vigilance.
The use of the chariot formation to hinder and delay the cavalry's attack, this means is ancient, but this is at most an auxiliary means, after all, the vehicle is clumsy and the cavalry is flexible, the use of the chariot array can only be a passive defense, as for the attack or not, the initiative is in the hands of the cavalry.
During the battle of Hanoi, if it weren't for Chen Tai's reckless use of strong attack, the losses would not have been so heavy, so although the flat box car formation looked powerful, if the cavalry walked around and did not confront it head-on, the flat box car formation would naturally be helpless.
Therefore, Sima Yi did not seriously consider the method of the flat box car formation, but only instructed that in the future, whenever the state army is fighting, it is enough not to attack the flat box car by force, can you still hide if you can't provoke it?
But Sima Yi ignored one point, that is, under specific terrain and geographical conditions, they couldn't afford to provoke and couldn't hide, Cao Liang arranged for them to intercept the camp on the way to retreat, and now Sima Jun just wanted to hide, and there was no way to hide. 11.
