Chapter 238: Victory in the First Battle

Wei Yang stood on a high place and observed Zheng Xiaohan's deployment with a telescope, feeling a little bottomless.

Just got the news that the coalition of Ma Bufang and the three had stopped ten kilometers away.

Although there were only 30,000 people, those 10,000 cavalry did give Liu Cheng a headache.

The truth is that he didn't have any knowledge of fighting cavalry.

In the 21st century, although I had read some historical materials, they were all ancient battles, and I was holding cold weapons in my hands.

What Zheng Xiaohan said was Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu's Moon Formation Wei Yang also knew, but at that time, the cavalry was holding a saber in his hand, and now, it was a gun!

If there is any accident, this battle will definitely be lost very badly.

Ma Bufang and the three of them did not rush to attack, but constantly sent people to investigate the movements on Wei Yang's side.

When they confirmed that Wei Yang had dug a horse trap, Ma Bufang suddenly laughed and said to Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin:

"Two virtuous brothers, in my opinion, Lao Jiang may really be old, and he was turned around by such a fool! Trapped in the horse pit, hahaha, does he really think that my old horse is going to fight a siege war with him? ”

Ma Hongbin also laughed, but Ma Hongkui didn't laugh, he pondered for a long time before he said to the two:

"Despite this, we are still careful, the Gui line of Li and Bai was folded twice in the hands of this surnamed Wei, which is enough to show that this person is not simple, be careful that this is his trick! Don't forget, he still has dozens of mountain cannons in his hands! ”

Ma Hongbin patted Ma Hongkui's shoulder with a smile and said:

"I said, big brother, I think you're too careful, right? As long as our cavalry rushes up, what use can his dozens of cannons do? It's just a bit of dust! In this way, the two of you are waiting here, and I will personally lead the team to meet this surnamed Wei! ”

As he spoke, Ma Hongbin turned his horse and was about to leave, but was dragged by Ma Hongkui:

"Brother, you can't go!"

As he spoke, he turned and shouted behind him:

"Ma Fengyuan!"

"Here!"

A horse suddenly jumped out of the team behind him, rushed straight to Ma Hongkui, strangled the horse's head violently, and said in a deep voice:

"Please command!"

Ma Hongkui stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Wei Yangjun in front of him, and ordered loudly:

"You immediately lead the first team of cavalry to attack the front position with all your might, be sure to tear a hole in Lao Tzu, and let that person surnamed Wei see the power of Lao Ma's family!"

"Yes!"

Ma Fengyuan agreed, immediately turned the horse's head, rushed to the cavalry camp at the front of the team, pulled out the saber above the country's head, and swung it violently.

"Drive! Drive! Drive! ……”

The three thousand cavalry immediately urged their horses and galloped in the direction where Wei Yang's troops were.

Zheng Xiaohan was lying on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Suddenly, he stood up from the ground and shouted to Shen Luoyun, the commander of the artillery brigade behind him:

"Attention all artillerymen! Ruler thirty-eight, direction one hundred and six, the white mark in front of the right side aiming! ”

Shen Luoyun didn't say half a word of nonsense, and immediately conveyed the order to the gunner in the flag language.

"Reload your ammo!"

"Put!"

With a series of loud noises, the cannonballs flew towards the approaching cavalry at a very small angle.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The violent explosion rang out for a while, and it did cause some trouble for the approaching cavalry.

However, as Ma Hongbin expected, these shells did not cause effective damage to the moving cavalry, and the forty shells caused more than 100 casualties in total.

If you want to hit the cavalry with artillery, unless it is a sneak attack, it is simply difficult to inflict a large number of casualties with the movement speed of the cavalry.

However, Zheng Xiaohan seems to be completely unaware of this, and ten times in a row, he has not changed the data of the ruler and direction at all.

So much so that by the time the last wave of shells landed, the cavalry of the three horses was already about to rush to the trap.

Shen Luoyun was a little anxious, but Zheng Xiaohan didn't mean to be in a hurry at all.

Wei Yang kept staring at the battle situation from a high place, and at this time, cold sweat was already breaking out in his palms.

Just as everyone feared, the horse trap did not play an effective role, and those war horses fell in the pit at most, and then jumped up directly.

Except for Zheng Xiaohan, everyone, including Wei Yang, was in their hearts:

"It's over!"

But Zheng Xiaohan didn't mean to worry at all, and kept holding the binoculars and looking ahead.

The horses that jumped up from the pit had just run forward for less than two steps, when suddenly a horse plunged headlong into the ground, followed by the second and third batches......

In just ten minutes, more than three hundred horses fell.

Because the horses fell to the ground and hindered the companions behind them, for a while, the speed at which the cavalry had already rushed up stopped instantly, as if the locking system had been activated.

But before they could find the reason, a row of black muzzles suddenly appeared on the ground outside one or two hundred people on both sides, and the next second they swept towards those cavalry with tongues of fire, and as if they were intentional, those bullets seemed to have eyes, and they hit the war horses under them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Fengyuan immediately ordered a retreat, but he didn't run far, and suddenly found that a row of muzzles also appeared in the craters that had just been blown up, and bullets flew towards him like raindrops.

As before, these bullets were still coming for the war horse.

It was impossible to turn around again, so he could only grit his teeth and order the team to rush over.

3,000 cavalry, just like that, 2,000 people were all thrown on the battlefield.

Ma Bufang immediately sent someone to answer after discovering that the situation was wrong, but before he set off, there was the sound of a cannonball cutting through the air in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Those shells exploded almost not far in front of him, and although the three Ma Bufang who were sitting on the horses were not killed, everyone was colored.

Ma Bufang shouted loudly while running under the protection of the guards:

"Withdraw! Remove! Get the out! ”

In less than half an hour, the tentative attack ended with the "three horses" fleeing from the desert.

Back in the tent, Wei Yang immediately called Zheng Xiaohan and asked with a smile on his face:

"What the hell are you doing? I just watched it, and it's not the role of the trap at all. ”

Zheng Xiaohan smiled mysteriously and said:

"Commander, it's nothing, I'm just making some different stumbling stumbling stakes on the side close to us."

Wei Yang frowned and asked:

"Stumbling horses? Shouldn't it be a tripstring? ”

Zheng Xiaohan shook his head:

"In the face of this number of cavalry, the tripping horse rope will not do anything at all, so I thought of this method."
