Defeated, Zhang Liao and they were defeated, and after they went back, they counted and lost more than 20,000 people.

Zhang Liaosheng is on the agenda.

"I didn't expect the enemy to be so fierce, this defeat, what can you do to save the situation." Zhang Liao asked.

Several generals also saw that those Romans had a clear advantage.

The people are tall and the horses are big, and the strength is strong.

The advantage of strength is obvious, when the army reaches a certain size, a sweep will make it difficult for the two Tang soldiers to resist.

"Their military formation is not good, and they will be chaotic as soon as the battle starts, but they are strong and make up for this situation, and we are very difficult to handle." Tai Shi Ci said.

This Roman army was like this.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong didn't have any more ways, these people had too much strength, and they had no good way to fight.

At this time, Zhang Yu was still on the road, and he didn't know that such a thing had happened.

When Ma Chao went back, he was naturally full of confidence.

It is not so easy to win against Datang's army this time.

The army of the Tang Dynasty does not know how many wars it has fought and defeated several princes, but now that the army is strong, they can actually win.

"Our 50,000 troops are 50,000 warriors, how can this Tang army's army compare with us." Ma Chao said.

After going back, Ma Chao said: "Go back immediately and tell my father that we will win this battle." ”

Fifty thousand Romans, that is, fifty thousand warriors, let them win.

One of Ma Chao's lieutenants said to Ma Chao: "General, these people are strong, we can make the lord's battle armor thicker, thicker than the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, bows and arrows can't pierce it, even spears can't pierce it, isn't it invincible." ”

Ma Chao's eyes sparkled, and this proposal made him very interested.

He hadn't thought about it before, so the armor he created was the same thickness as theirs.

And this time, if the armor is really thickened, it will really be invincible at that time.

"Okay, I'll have a few of them built to see if the Romans can handle it."

Originally, the armor was large, but if it was thickened, it would be very heavy, and it would be uncomfortable to carry it on the mountain, so it still needed to be studied.

Ma Chao sent people back to study, and he was ready to continue the attack on Datang's army.

Only by constantly attacking can we know the good and bad in time.

Ma Chao wants super heavy armor and sends people to build it, if it really can, then their combat power will continue to soar, and then Zhang Yu and they may really be in danger.

Early the next morning, Ma Chao continued to attack, and with the experience of the previous day, this time they were even more daring.

directly pulled the army to Zhang Liao's barracks.

"Zhang Liao, dare to come out for a decisive battle."

This time, Ma Chao brought 120,000 soldiers and horses, leaving only 30,000 soldiers and horses to watch the family.

In yesterday's battle, they did not suffer much losses, and they dare to do so today.

In the morning, Zhang Liao and the others were still studying what method to break the enemy.

"General Zhang, this Ma Chao is so arrogant." Huang Zhong said angrily.

Yesterday's battle made them lose a lot, and this time Ma Chao came to challenge again, and several people were very angry.

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said: "Arrange more archers inside the barracks to do a good job of defense, and Hansheng's heavy cavalry is ambushed. We're going to have to keep fighting them. ”

"Zilong, Ziyi, the two of you are ready to personally lead the team to charge."

Zhang Liao had to observe the enemy's weaknesses, so he had to fight them, knowing that he would lose.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici led the infantry into battle.

Ma Chao was very happy to see the enemy come out, as long as he could break this way, it would be a victory.

"Attack."

"Crush them."

Ma Chao ordered, and the army was killed.

Their morale was very high, there were Roman warriors, and they were confident of victory.

The army was killed, and Tai Shici and Zhao Yun attacked it.

At the beginning, the two armies were able to fight each other, and in terms of army quality, Liangzhou soldiers and horses were a lot worse than them.

After a while, the Roman legions came to the front.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were not afraid to fight, and led the troops to assault all the time.

However, it was soon fought back by the Roman army.

They are undisciplined, and by virtue of their strength, by virtue of the fact that their weapons are longer and heavier, they swing and attack.

This powerful attack, the Datang side, united and resisted with collective strength.

But after only fighting for a while, he was still defeated by them.

The army was beaten out, and the army of the Tang Dynasty began to retreat one after another.

Ma Chao took the opportunity to chase and kill, but although the Tang army was defeated, it did not mess up its position and retreated slowly.

The two sides continued to fight bloodily, and after an hour or two hours, the Tang army's army had retreated for five miles, leaving many corpses along the way, and even the camp in front was breached.

At a critical moment, Huang Zhong's heavy cavalry began to attack.

rushed into the distance and directly entered the military formation of Liangzhou, causing great damage to the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, which made Ma Chao angry and personally led the army to kill.

The two sides continued to fight, and when the Roman legions arrived to support, Huang Zhong left some of them behind before retreating.

And Zhang Liao also personally led the light cavalry on a safari, harassing around, finding an opportunity to attack twice, and dealing a great blow to the enemy.

After fighting for a few hours, this Ma Chao saw that he could no longer take advantage, so he retreated.

Zhang Liao and the others repacked the camp and directly retreated twenty miles to find a place to camp.

By the time we set up camp, it was already dark.

At this time, Xi Zhicai came, and he had been taking care of the back road, preparing grain and grass, and arranging grain roads.

Xi Zhicai was also shocked that in two days, they had lost more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Yes, in the first battle yesterday and today's battle, after two days of fighting, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses have been lost.

But Ma Chao is not comfortable, the Roman legions are powerful, but after all, there are only 50,000, and they are all infantry.

was attacked by the cavalry, or the army of Liangzhou who attacked them, which caused them great damage.

There is no way, Ma Chao's strength is much weaker.

Ma Chao also lost about 30,000 people this time, but it was much better than the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Chao realized a problem, the army of the Tang Dynasty was not a rabble.

If it is a rabble, then after the first defeat, it can be slaughtered, and there is no later counterattack at all.

This is the case with the general army of princes.

However, Datang's army is an army that has experienced many major battles, and they will not disperse even if they are defeated.

Defeated and still dare to fight back, they are an army of faith.

An army of faith cannot be crossed.

Therefore, after the Roman army was dragged this time, then the remaining Liangzhou army was not an opponent.

The two sides retreated and studied the tactics again.

After listening to the battle situation in detail, Xi Zhicai said: "I'm afraid we can only rely on the large number of troops to slowly consume the other party, the Liangzhou soldiers and horses are not terrible, the Roman army has to rely on the Liangzhou army, we attack the weak side, and the other party is also very uncomfortable." ”

If the strong can't beat it, then grind out the weak side first.

Zhang Liao wanted to use this method first to slowly find out the characteristics of the Roman army.
