The consequence of Ma Chao's crossing is that the war of this era has been transformed into a standard battle formation, the coordination of various arms, and the war mode of high-precision weapons and equipment in just a few years. If someone thinks about it, they can compare and find that if a Ma family army is put into the era when the Yellow Turban Uprising was fought with a nail rake and hoe, that Ma family army will become a nightmare for all Yellow Turban thieves, and it can definitely drive thousands of miles and kill the Yellow Turban thieves in a river of blood.

However, under the stimulus of life and death, people's ability to learn is often the strongest. After Guan Yu gave the order, Liu Bei's elite soldiers suddenly quickly assembled into a circular shield array with harsh standard movements, and guarded the spears and crossbowmen among them. Although the throwing guns flying in the sky also caused some casualties, when Ma Chao first invented this kind of war wave attack in the first two years, the enemy army obviously had a little more calm and stability. Even those new recruits who are new to the battlefield will do the actions that are integrated into the blood as quickly as possible under the orders of the commander.

Therefore, the tactics at this time have gradually begun to fade, and a victory or defeat is often closer to a contest of intrigue and strategy.

Ma Chao understands this very well, and he has also begun to change in this way. What Liu Bei and the others didn't know at all this time was that just three miles away from the woods behind Li Yan, the camp tents covering the sky and the wilderness were densely covered, and the layout was like superimposed tight fish scales, connected by rings, almost occupying the entire plain.

This kind of fish scale camp is simple to tie, although not strong enough, but it is convenient to support each other, and once the village is repaired, it can cover the craftsmen to continue to build in a slightly higher place, and even repair it to a place that can be seen by the naked eye in one breath. The whole camp is like a millstone, which can slowly but forcefully smooth out the last drop of blood and grain and grass of the enemy.

Obviously, Ma Chao set up such a fish-scale camp in the place between this forest, obviously to fight a war of attrition with Liu Bei's army. Let Liu Bei's army stop here, and not move forward for half an inch.

Poor Liu Bei Guan Yu thought that they could be safe and sound just by defeating Li Yan's strange army, but who knew that they had already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot.

"Kill!"

This era is still an era of heroic blood, although the cooperation of the arms has greatly reduced the charm and influence of the super-powerful generals. But the best generals are often not just about being superb. Their greatest ability is to integrate their character into an army.

This time, it was not Chen Zhibai'er's army, who was offensive and defensive, nor Zhang Fei's black cavalry, which was known for its breakthrough ability, but Guan Yu's personal guard infantry. The character of this army is completely the same as Guan Yu, with extraordinary arrogance and long endurance like the sun and moon in the long river. Under the leadership of the blue-robed and long-bearded general, they either rushed forward like the Yangtze River bursting the embankment, or defended like Mount Tai Ganyue, facing almost twice the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, and their infantry used unique tactics to drag this cavalry into a puddle of quagmire.

Moreover, there is no doubt that in this battle, the most conspicuous is still Guan Yu. At this moment, the cold saw in his hand was waving like flying, and there was a sense of arrogance on his body at all times, a sense of arrogance full of oppression. The kind of arrogance that has been trained from the battlefield where countless people have killed people and can only be condensed by true masters fills the entire battlefield. made him and his subordinates fight in an ingenious atmosphere, turning over Li Yan's military formation like a plough turning over the dirt.

At this time, Li Yan could no longer say anything about 'courage and no strategy'. He broke forward and wanted to fight with Guan Yu, but after only supporting less than ten rounds, he found that if he didn't cooperate with the guards around him, it was difficult to dodge the rolling killing moves in Guan Yu's hands, and the feeling of struggling in the wind and waves made Li Yan's back break out in a cold sweat.

Liu Bei didn't go to the battlefield in person, he just watched all this indifferently like Zhuge Liang. Just watched his second brother Guan Yu roll into a whirlpool in this battle, rushing back and forth on the battlefield. Looking at where Guan Yu and his subordinates rushed to, there was a place of death. Watching Ma Jiajun's weapons and their owners be chopped into pieces by the Qinglong Glaive Knife, flying around like straw.

Of course, in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is still a nightmare on the battlefield. Even though Guan Yu fought hard and dragged the Ma Jiatie cavalry into the quagmire of the infantry, he only maintained a temporary undefeated situation. At this time, Li Yan was only stunned by the amazing combat effectiveness of Guan Yu and his subordinates, once he reacted and organized two rounds of killing, Liu Bei's 3,000 infantry still could not escape the fate of being wiped out.

However, Liu Bei is not worried about this. Because he knew that Li Yan's plan of false reporting might confuse the generals he brought from Sichuan this time, even including Zhang Ren, who was highly valued by Liu Bei. However, there are still a few forces that are unlikely to be affected by these false reports.

Sure enough, just when Li Yan had begun to change his tactics, he slowly gathered the iron cavalry and prepared to charge again, crushing Guan Yu's infantry formation. A guard looked into the distance and reported to Liu Bei: "Lord, the dust is rising in the rear. ”

"Li Yan is defeated." Liu Bei smiled with relief, looked back, and saw that under the sun, a cavalry flew in, and it was so dazzling as a big banner in the first place.

Zhang Fei is here! His Black Cavalry is here! Liu Bei's command deliberately imitated the Ma family's iron cavalry, and the only cavalry team that could be an opponent for the Ma family's iron cavalry was here!

"The thief Hugh wants to hurt my big brother!!" Before anyone arrived, Zhang Fei's loud voice had already terrified the entire battlefield. Subsequently, he seemed to see the situation on the battlefield clearly, and asked Liu Bei again: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, third brother, destroy this immeasurable Li Yan for me!" Liu Bei responded loudly, not minding exposing his mid-formation at all. Because he already knew that the plan of false reporting could not deceive Zhang Fei.

It's not because Zhang Fei is wiser than those Xichuan generals, but Zhang Fei won't compare the lives of Xichuan and Liu Bei on a scale at all. There was no comparison, so naturally there was no hesitation, so he would not even think about it, and would only choose to rush over directly to rescue Liu Bei.

Sometimes, trickery often can't hide from a tenacious person. Zhang Fei can be called wise and foolish.

With the addition of Zhang Fei's black cavalry, Li Yan's attack was immediately in trouble. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao have a similar mystery in cavalry attainments, although the two have completely different personalities, they are both proud on the battlefield, they have an outstanding sense of smell and strong force, they can face the enemy army. Knowing when to attack and when not to attack intuitively can easily grasp the fleeting weak link of the enemy, pounce on it, tear it apart, expand it, and defeat it, so that the enemy's overall strength advantage is gone.

What's more, the advantage Li Yan has achieved is not obvious. Therefore, when joining a powerful cavalry that would always charge with a spear, Li Yan's army formation was like a shrimp pierced through the abdomen, and the pain was unbearable. Especially Zhang Fei, who had a cone, danced the Zhangba snake spear in his hand like a black dragon rolling, and among the stumps and broken arms, it was the loyalty of the warriors of the Ma family.

"Huh?" Seeing the situation on the battlefield turning, Zhuge Liang, who had always been silent on the side, was not much happy, but a little more suspicious.

"Strategist, what's wrong?" Liu Bei held a double-strand sword in his hand, watching the second and third brothers enter the flock like tigers on the battlefield, he couldn't help but have the urge to go on the field and fight in person.

"Li Yan is not a stupid general, why has he reached this point and he has no intention of retreating?" Zhuge Liang looked at Li Yan, who was gradually surrounded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and was very puzzled: "When the three generals came, Li Yan was governor and could not do anything, and with the mobility of the cavalry, he could completely escape from this battlefield." But why didn't he retreat when he was about to be wiped out? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei also felt that something was wrong. He seemed to feel something, and fixed his eyes on the woods behind Li Yan.

At this time, Ma Chao was holding a tiger talisman in the Chinese military tent and smiled slightly: "Since there is another big fish biting the hook, then don't let him come in vain." Zhang Fei brought 10,000 black cavalry, and Ma Dai and Ma Xiu will bring another 20,000 infantry to make up that big net for me! ”
