Chapter 1196: Raid on the Thunderbolt
The big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Chao's expression was full of worry, and let Ma Dai be in charge of the affairs in the city, which had a great effect, and some people who discussed this matter were even directly executed, and the atmosphere in the city became even more tense for a while.
Bloody means still play a huge role in extraordinary times.
Glancing at the generals in the tent, Ma Chao said: "The Chang'an army outside the city is so arrogant, General Ben decided to lead the cavalry out of the city to raid the enemy army. ”
Seeing that Ma Chao finally decided to make a move, many generals in the army breathed a sigh of relief, in the face of such a situation, the pressure as generals in the army is also huge, they have to keep appeasing the soldiers in the army, so that they can see the hope of victory.
Although there were generals who asked for war before, but it was for Ma Chao to refuse, if the battle, although there will be some losses, if it can have a surprise effect, it can still get a lot of gains, and the most important army out of the city can stimulate the morale of the generals and soldiers in the army to a certain extent.
"The general is wise." The generals in the tent chimed in.
"For a few days, it is not that the general is unwilling to fight, but the Chang'an army outside the city has elite cavalry, after a few days of siege, the enemy army must be a little lax, at this time, it may be able to get a greater effect." Ma Chao explained.
The generals in the tent echoed one after another, and they still very much agreed with Ma Chao's bravery, especially the strength of the cavalry under Ma Chao, although outside Hechi City, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was defeated by the flying cavalry, they still had trust in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Leading the cavalry out of the city to sneak attack, it has nothing to do with whether the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can defeat the Flying Cavalry and the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry, as long as it can contain the strength of the enemy cavalry, the rest of the matter is much simpler.
The reason why Ma Chao chose to raid the Chang'an army was also a helpless move, he knew that if he didn't do anything, it would be very difficult to get the morale of the army to pick up, once the war really started, and the morale of the army was low, it would be absolutely fatal for the defenders, as a veteran general on the battlefield, at this point, Ma Chao still has a clear understanding.
Whenever the army attacks the city, it is the moment when Hao Meng performs a personal performance, and the generals under Lu Bu agree with Hao Meng's achievements in the thundercar, and the thunderbolt riders in the army can be so accurate, which is inseparable from Hao Meng's efforts.
In Hao Meng's view, this kind of limelight is more enjoyable than killing enemy generals on the battlefield, no general dares to fight against thunderbolts on the battlefield, especially giant thunderbolts, under one blow, even if the martial arts are strong, they can only die.
Just when the thunderbolt launched a fierce attack on the north of the city, the city gate, which had been silent since the army attacked the city, suddenly opened, and the first general, holding a tiger-headed Zhan golden gun, and the white robe behind him was hunting in the wind, who was not Ma Chao.
The enemy cavalry just left the city, Tai Shici and Li Yan immediately led the cavalry to meet them, for this period of time, the enemy has not dared to go out of the city to fight, so that the flying cavalry and the sun archers are extremely dissatisfied, when the city was attacked, the cavalry played an extremely limited role, and the enemy could not shrink out, which greatly affected their gain on the battlefield.
Compared to the soldiers of the ordinary army, the Sun Archers and Flying Cavalry are more desirable for merit, and they need more credit to improve their status in the army than ordinary soldiers, and in these two cavalry teams, the merit on the battlefield is enough to make them crazy.
When the cavalry appeared, Hao Meng hurriedly ordered the thunderbolt to aim the boulder at the city gate, at this point, Hao Meng had already trained his soldiers, as long as the enemy army went out of the city to sneak attack, the thunderbolt could cause them dead and wounded.
After a round of boulders, without Hao Meng's orders, the Thunderbolt riders retreated from the battlefield one after another, and the Thunderbolt can be rebuilt if it is gone, and if the soldiers who control the Thunderbolt are killed in battle, it is more difficult to retrain.
The enemy cavalry launched a surprise attack, and the Thunderbolt riders played a small role on the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Ma Chao's eyes twitched twice, he didn't expect that the self-proclaimed elite Jin Marquis army would choose to retreat after the arrival of his own cavalry, but his purpose was to destroy these thunderbolts.
had already been ordered by Ma Chao, and the two generals led 300 Xiliang Iron Cavalry respectively to meet the Flying Cavalry and the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry, while Ma Chao led 400 cavalry to come towards the Thunderbolt Car.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is worthy of the name of the elite, and it is still possible to temporarily entangle the Burning Sun Bow Rider and the Flying Cavalry.
Li Yan shouted angrily, speared a cavalryman, and led more than 200 flying horsemen to kill in the direction of Ma Chao, their task was to protect the safety of these thunderbolts, if the thunderbolts were damaged too much, they could not explain to the soldiers in the army.
Tai Shi Ci squinted and glanced at the battlefield, but he led more than 500 Sun Archers to block the road of Ma Chao's retreat, Ma Chao wanted to destroy the thunderbolt, he had to pay a sufficient price, and after losing the retreat, it meant that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would stay on the battlefield for a longer time, which would cause them a greater degree of casualties.
Even though the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is elite, the Flying Cavalry and the Burning Sun Archer are experienced warriors, and the scene of the battle between the two sides is extremely tragic, and the Flying Cavalry and the Burning Sun Archer, who have an advantage in numbers, show strong combat effectiveness.
The thunderbolts were burning extremely fast under the firelight, and Ma Chao set his eyes on the giant thunderbolts that posed the greatest threat to the city.
Li Yan led more than 200 flying horsemen to kill, and Ma Chao could only temporarily give up burning the thunderbolt car and fight with the flying horsemen.
The battle was about half an hour, Ma Chao was a little anxious, the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the loss of cavalry reached at least two hundred, after ordering some cavalry to block the flying cavalry, Ma Chao continued to destroy in the formation of the Thunderbolt car.
Just when the two sides were inseparable, billowing dust and smoke appeared not far away, but after Lu Bu got the news on the battlefield, he ordered Dian Wei to lead the personal guard cavalry to come.
"Withdraw!" Ma Chao gave an order, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was entangled with the enemy cavalry, went towards the south of the city.
Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, and led the Burning Sun Archers to catch up, and under a round of arrow rain, more than 30 Xiliang Iron Riders fell off their horses.
Relying on the speed of the Sun Bow Cavalry, Tai Shi Ci directly pursued Ma Chao to the south of the city, and the arrows and arrows fell on the city, and Tai Shi Ci led the troops to retreat.
After this battle, the defenders not only saw the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but also saw the horror of the Burning Sun Archer, especially the scene of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry being terrified like a lost dog under the pursuit of the Burning Sun Archer, which gave them a great impact.
