Malone has loved the art of war since he was a child, although he was not born in a family, but this does not prevent him from having the ambition of a famous general. Although his rank is not high, Malone cherishes such an opportunity very much, so he has always regarded Linghu Yu as his bole.

Later, Ma Long came to Huainan, and was appreciated by Wang Ling's son Wang Feixiao, and was recommended to serve as Wu Meng, which was indeed a leap in terms of position. But Wu Meng's position is more akin to a staff officer and staff member, and he is still far from being able to truly command an army to fight independently.

And this time when he arrived in Bingzhou, Cao Liang appointed him as a vanguard officer to lead a team of 3,000 soldiers and horses alone, which was a great temptation for Ma Long, who had always dreamed of leading the army to fight in all directions.

Originally, Malone planned to return immediately after sending the letter to Bingzhou, maybe after returning to Huainan, he would be able to participate in the battle of Huainan in time, although after returning to Huainan, Malone may not have the opportunity to lead the army to participate in the war, but Malone, who has always been eager to realize his dream, is still unwilling to give up the last chance.

It's just that what Ma Long didn't expect was that Cao Liang would actually entrust him with a heavy task and let him serve as the vanguard officer of the attack on Heluo, and this vanguard officer is not auxiliary, but really has the power to command the battle independently.

So Ma Long threw the idea of returning to Huainan to Jawa and couldn't wait to accept Cao Liang's appointment.

After Cao Liang appointed Ma Long as the pioneer officer, he left all the affairs of the pioneer camp and left Ma Long alone to "toss".

Although Malone did not really command the army independently, how many years of familiarity with military books and tactics made Malone form a set of mature military ideas, but the conditions were limited and he had no opportunity to put them into practice.

Now Cao Liang has provided him with the most ideal platform, and there are no constraints, completely allowing Ma Long to play freely. It can be said that such a platform is unique in the world, after all, leading the army to fight is not child's play, and it is impossible for anyone in power to hand over the army to a newcomer who has no experience in leading the army and is acting against the norm, Cao Liang dared to give Ma Long power, obviously he fully trusted.

Ma Long was very grateful to Cao Liang, and naturally he did not dare to live up to Cao Liang's trust, he built a pioneer camp according to his own ideas and ideas, selected and recruited warriors who met his requirements, and asked Cao Liang to equip him with carpenters to build flat box cars overnight.

Regarding Ma Long's request, Cao Liang was naturally full of promises. In fact, Cao Liang is still very curious about this flat box car, the production method of the flat box car has long been lost, and now the partial box car equipped by the state army is based on some historical records and then combined with some of his own imagination, and built.

Now that he has the opportunity to see the flat box car in its original history, Cao Liang is of course happy to see it.

Ma Long rushed to make it overnight, and after several days of hard work, the flat box car that Ma Long needed was finally built.

Ma Long's flat box car and Cao Liang's side box car are much the same, for the Bingzhou army who are familiar with the use of side box cars, they can use flat box cars without obstacles.

This battle was the first real battle in Ma Long's life, and it was supported and recognized by Cao Liang, which undoubtedly made Ma Long full of ambition and confidence.

More importantly, Malone did not fight alone, the historical Malone expedition to the bald tree function, completely alone, once received three years of food and salary in the army, with the courage of a strong man to never look back, embarked on the road to the west.

And in this battle of Heluo, Cao Liang has secretly mobilized an army of 50,000 troops, and will follow the vanguard battalion action, what Ma Long needs to do is to attract the attention of Sima Jun, drag its main force, and give Cao Liang's army time to win.

Of course, this is Cao Liang's task to Ma Long, but from Ma Long's personal point of view, he is still more inclined to fight this battle, and the responsibility of the pioneer battalion itself represents the pioneer of destroying the city and opening the way, not to mention that this is the first battle of Ma Long's life, he hopes to have a highlight performance.

The capture of Qinshui was basically not a battle, because Sima Jun did not have any troops stationed here at all, only a few people from the county government office, how could they stop the morale of the vanguard battalion.

After a short stop in Qinshui, Ma Long commanded his army to move southeast, aiming directly at Wen County.

Chen Tai deployed heavy troops in the area of Wen County, Ma Long killed Wen County without fear, it was clearly declaring war on Chen Tai, Ma Long knew very well that the pioneer battalion marched into Hanoi with such fanfare, it must have angered Chen Tai, Chen Tai would definitely not stay in Wen County passively to face the battle, his first choice should be to take the initiative to attack, choose the right terrain to ambush the pioneer battalion.

From Qinshui to Wenxian, almost all of them are flat terrain, which is very suitable for cavalry attacks, so on this section of the road, Sima Jun will not surprise Ma Long when he appears anywhere.

The slow march of the pioneer battalion also means that the pioneer battalion is fully prepared for battle, and the formation adopted by the pioneer battalion is basically a battle formation rather than a marching formation, and when encountering an enemy attack, it only needs to make a slight adjustment to completely enter the battle.

As soon as they marched to Wulongkou, Ma Long heard the rumbling war drums, there was no doubt that they had stepped into the ambush circle of Sima Jun, but this was completely expected by Ma Long, and the entire vanguard battalion was ready for battle, and there was no fear in the face of Sima Jun's attack.

Sima's cavalry divided into two routes, quickly launched a surprise attack from the east and west, their attack discharged a wide formation, and from a distance, it was like two rows of huge waves rising suddenly in the flat ground, roaring, with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, as if they wanted to crush everything.

Chen Tai is quite confident in all these ambushes, the other party only has 3,000 people, and he dispatched 10,000 troops, in terms of quantity, it is completely advantageous, not to mention that among the 10,000 people, there are 5,000 cavalry, anyone knows that in this plain area, the cavalry is the absolute king, its strong impact and high-speed mobility, is incomparable to any kind of troops, these two cavalry at the same time to flank, this battle, don't fight too easily!
