Malone's frustration is justified, the idea of this flat box car is the brainchild of his imagination for several years, he has worked hard for it, racked his brains, and regretted that it has not been possible to achieve it before, but now he finally has the opportunity to put it into practice, and achieved unexpected results, all this originally seemed perfect, but because of Cao Liang's words, Ma Long was hit hard, and even disheartened.

Although it is said that the flat box car shined in the battle of Wulongkou and achieved unexpected brilliant results, but the flat box car has a dead hole after all, so once the formation is formed, it is not easy to move, it can also be said that the flat box car is just a semi-mobile fortress, if the enemy uses the catapult to attack, the flat box car formation is indeed unable to resist.

Although in the Battle of Wulongkou, Chen Tai did not think of using catapults to attack, and in most people's minds, catapults would not be used as weapons to attack flat box carts.

Although the flat box car formation can achieve one or two victories, but for a long time, it will inevitably be targeted by the enemy, and now Cao Liang can take the lead in proposing a way to crack it, so in the future actual combat, there will definitely be smart people on the Sima side who think of this, once the catapult is used in the battle, the flat box car formation will inevitably be wiped out.

Historically, only Ma Long used a flat box car when he conquered the west, relying on the flat box car to break the bald tree function, the Xianbei people are best at cavalry, as for the catapult, they are probably unheard of, and naturally they will not build it, and the flat box car is precisely the nemesis of the cavalry, so Ma Long broke the bald tree function of 100,000 people with 3,500 people.

If the bald tree function has a catapult, there is no doubt that Malone will be defeated, let alone beheading the bald tree function, I am afraid that all the 3,500 people he brought will be bloodied in the west of the river, and no one will survive.

Because of this, since Malon, the flat box car has been lost and annihilated in the long river of history, probably after someone saw the dead hole of the flat box car, which led to the abandonment of the flat box car.

The generals also sighed, in fact, from the battle of Wulongkou alone, the performance of the flat box car formation was already bright enough, and the flat box car formation created by Ma Long solved the disadvantage of the infantry against the cavalry to a large extent.

But everything in the world is always mutually reinforcing, just as people often play the wine order "stick-tiger-chicken-bug", anything, there must be restraint, the flat box car can restrain the cavalry, but it is restrained by the catapult, and the catapult is extremely easy to be destroyed by the cavalry, on the battlefield, there is no absolute king, only reasonable tactics.

Seeing that Ma Long was a little depressed, Cao Liang said with a smile: "Xiaoxing doesn't have to be discouraged, everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and there has never been anything invincible, so why should you blame everything?" In fact, the flat box car can restrain the cavalry, which is already a great achievement, you must know that the cavalry is the real king of the field, you can use a small flat box car to make the king of the field bow down, this has created a tactical era. As for catapults, you don't have to worry too much about them, regardless of the fact that no army has ever used catapults in the field, and even if they do, catapults have their Achilles' heel, they are bulky and slow-moving, and many aggressive classes can easily destroy them. Next, you should think of a way to cooperate with many arms, you don't have to make the flat box car formation into a simple crossbow and flat box car, as long as you can improve the mobility ability of the flat box car and the protection ability of the flanks, the flat box car formation is still promising. ”

Ma Long couldn't help but light up in front of him after hearing this, Ma Long did have the idea of creating an invincible battle formation on the battlefield, but Cao Liang's cracking method was like a basin of cold water, which made him sober up a lot, and he also realized that on the battlefield, it is indeed as Cao Liang said, no weapon can be invincible, what he needs to do is how to expand his advantages and reduce his shortcomings, so that the flat box car formation will regain its brilliance.

It is impossible for any army to be built on a single branch of the armed forces, and the more powerful the army, the more arms it is equipped with, which complement each other and help each other.

In the past, Ma Long's idea of building the army seems to have entered a misunderstanding, that is, to pursue a kind of extreme, the ultimate in defense and the ultimate in offense, for which he built the flat box car extremely strong, and replaced all the infantry with crossbowmen, but I don't know that although they are particularly distinct and have strong combat effectiveness, they are also weak and prominent, and once they encounter a real nemesis, they are often incomprehensible.

Now Cao Liang gave him a suggestion, which undoubtedly pointed out a clear way for Ma Long, who was in a state of confusion, that the construction of flat box trucks could not be abandoned, but more importantly, it was necessary to form peripheral forces to coordinate operations and form complementarity.

"Thank you Cao Dudu for your guidance, the last general has been taught." Malone thanked him gratefully.

Cao Liang smiled happily, believing that after this, Ma Long would be able to effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the flat box car formation, so he deliberately renamed the pioneer battalion as the Xiandeng battalion, and increased the establishment of the Xiandeng battalion from 3,000 to 10,000 people, which was on par with the infantry battalion, and officially became a battle sequence of the Bingzhou army.

The previous pioneer battalion was completely improvised, and Cao Liang originally allocated 5,000 people to Ma Long, but Ma Long finally carefully selected, as long as 3,000 people, in Ma Long's opinion, these 3,000 people were completely enough, and any more would become a burden.

Now, after the change of concept, Ma Long naturally gave up the line of taking a single branch of the elite army, but demanded more and more for the better, although the increase in the number of people will inevitably bring pressure to logistics, but the problem of logistics is easy to solve after all.

As for how to configure the troops, Cao Liang handed over the power to Ma Long, and asked him to experiment and arrange it by himself, striving to achieve the best configuration and raise the combat effectiveness of the flat box truck to the highest level.

Cao Liang is still very much looking forward to the flat box car, after all, this is an effective weapon against the cavalry, as long as the problem of defending against the catapult can be solved, the advantage of the flat box car is still extremely obvious.

The formation of the first camp was not an overnight thing, Cao Liang handed it over to Ma Long, let him take full responsibility, and the top priority now is to deal with the military affairs after entering Hanoi County.

Now the entire Hanoi County, except for Huai County, has all fallen into the hands of the Bingzhou Army, and the prestige is great, and the world is shocked, but how to act next is a matter of strategic considerations, but Cao Liang seems to be confident, because he has already made arrangements.
