Chapter 64: Crushing
The attack on the camp of the army must be huge, especially the brave knights of Xiliang, who live in war all the year round and have long been out of the realm of death, so they charge extremely fiercely.
Through the shroud of night, Yuan Yun could hardly see the enemy clearly, and could only see the enemy troops surging like a tide through the Molotov cocktail dropped by the hot air balloon, covering almost the entire land.
The outermost trench finally came into play, for the wails of men and horses were already heard, and a large number of enemy troops must have fallen.
It was also at this time that the artillery in the Gunpowder Army camp finally began to let out angry howls, dozens of reinforced cannons rang out, and in an instant, a piece of smoke and fire rose in the distance of the plain, and the rolling sound also came back, so that we could really see how many enemy troops were coming.
"Ma Chaohe is really a reckless man, and he pressed the entire army in the first fight, which is simply a tactic that does not care." Yuan Yun finished muttering, and began to watch with interest as the musketeers prepared to shoot.
At this time, Li Li walked to his side, and then Yuan Yun's words said: "The marshal doesn't know, Ma Chao is also helpless, now the Xiliang realm has encountered a major drought for several years, it can be said that it is difficult to eat, and it is even more difficult to raise food and grass, he is now with these tens of thousands of cavalry troops, if he does not launch an offensive immediately, I am afraid that he will run out of food immediately, rather than let his soldiers fight hungry in the back, it is better to eat at once, and then fight hard." ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile at this time: "General Li used to live here, so he naturally understands it in more detail, and this time I chose you to lead the army, and it is really the best candidate." ”
Li Li hurriedly thanked him, and then continued: "Marshal, I will go to the front to command, and I will report to you when the battle is a little stable." ”
Yuan Yun waved his hand and sent Li Li to the front, then turned to Zhuge Liang and asked, "Do you say that Ma Chao will appear this time?" ”
Zhuge Liang glanced at the churning artillery strike point from a distance, and then nodded affirmatively: "He must come in person, the number of enemies tonight is amazing, not to mention 50,000 people, this is not something that any warlord in Xiliang can have, so it must be a patchwork team, so it must be led by a strong character, in this land, it is estimated that only Ma Chao personally leads the army, and can command the movement, so he must be among them." ”
Yuan Yun smiled, then rubbed his hands and said, "So as long as his traces can be found on the hot air balloon, our tank can set off." ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "It must be so, as long as the hot air balloon bites in the air, we can keep chasing it, within a day and a night, even if Ma Chao is with three or four pack horses, he will inevitably be caught up by us, as long as he is killed or caught, the remaining enemy troops are estimated to be defeated without a fight." ”
Yuan Yun suddenly laughed loudly at this time, and then shouted at Shi Shen: "Let the tank battalion prepare, once the signal comes from the hot air balloon, let them kill the generals, and if they don't catch Ma Chao, they don't have to come back." ”
Shi made a heavy promise, and ran to the tank camp in an instant, and then Xiao Liu asked impatiently: "Lord, why don't I follow the tank to pursue?" ”
Yuan Yun was in a good mood at this time, shook his head and said, "It's a pursuit, no, can't you talk well?" ”
Xiao Liu was stunned, and his face was suddenly full of black lines, it was really boring to say this kind of joke at this time, it is estimated that only Yuan Yun has this kind of bad taste, but he soon heard Yuan Yun wave his hand and said: "Go, you must arrest Ma Chao to Lao Tzu, this kind of person who even dares to betray his father, there is no need to stay, so life and death do not matter." ”
After Xiao Liu hurriedly ran out, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Ma Chao has driven himself to a dead end this time, and the reputation of betraying his father has spread, who will dare to use him in the future?" ”
Yuan squinted his eyes and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, because he knew very well that in the original history, there were really many people who used Ma Chao, first Zhang Lu, an old rascal, and then Liu Bei, a hypocrite, so looking at it this way, it was really a nest of snakes and rats.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew from afar, and the smell of blood and the strong smell of gunpowder were all blowing in the face, making people want to vomit.
It was also at this time that the musketeers finally came into full swing, and the musketeers in three rows were firing frantically blind regardless of gains and losses, and each shot would be accompanied by the neighing of the war horses, which looked very strange in this dark night.
"If Ma Chao is successfully won this time, the rest will still think that Han Sui, when he sees Ma Chao failing, he will inevitably choose to hide, and then deal with us, which may be long to catch him." Zhuge Liang suddenly said again, which made Yuan Yun stunned.
If the 50,000 iron cavalry of Xiliang can't help the gunpowder army tonight, Han Sui will inevitably choose to flee immediately, and then start fighting guerrillas in the Xiliang territory as Zhuge Liang said, in this case, the gunpowder army will be more embarrassed, and it is very difficult to choose whether to retreat or stay behind.
After a moment's effort, Yuan Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Has Kong Ming forgotten Yan Xing's existence?" Now that this guy is Han Sui's son-in-law, with him by Han Sui's side, his whereabouts should not be difficult to grasp. ”
Zhuge Liang continued to smile and said, "Doesn't the lord really want to subdue Han Sui?" After all, he is already old, unlike Ma Chao, who is in the prime of life, and his ambition will naturally be much less, if he can't see the form clearly, after being hit twice, it will be more or less time to wake up, so that we can draw him into the camp, I believe he will no longer have different intentions.
As soon as Ma Chao goes, only Han Sui is the most authoritative in the Xiliang realm, and if he is there, those warlords will naturally choose to attach themselves to our Luoyang, so that the Xiliang realm can be regarded as truly stable. ”
Yuan Yun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What Kong Ming said is reasonable, when Ma Chao is caught, I will let Yan Xing start persuading Han Sui, if he is not old and already deaf, he should come to surrender honestly, and now in the form, there is not much room for him to choose." ”
Yuan Yun's voice fell, and he saw a hot air balloon in the northwest direction suddenly shoot a flash grenade, and three shots at a time, this information is obvious, but Ma Chao's rear camp has been discovered, if it is expected, Ma Chao himself must be there to carry out this command and dispatch.
Zhuge Liang also saw the three bright flashbangs, and immediately laughed and said: "Our tank is about to set off, Li Li must follow to pursue, and the defense here will be arranged by Lianglai." ”
Seeing that Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he leisurely went to the front, Yuan Yun shook his head helplessly, now the whole camp is the most boring for him, because it is definitely not possible to fight on horseback, and the command and dispatch are definitely not as good as Zhuge Liang, and he can only return to the camp tent to continue eating noodles.
Thinking of the noodles, Yuan Yun suddenly shouted and said, "Grass, it's been so long, Lao Tzu's noodles must be mushy, damn it." ”
After Li Li handed over the command of the camp to Zhuge Liang, he immediately boarded a tank, and then rushed head-on along the position where the flashbang was sent out just now, and all twenty-one tanks went out of the camp side by side, and stopped immediately at the edge of the camp, and then saw a volley of artillery, which immediately set the ground in the distance on fire, and the core of these shells was all gasoline bombs.
When the cannon was over, the tank team began to move on, and at this time, a group of enemy cavalry had already rushed out of the front line of the musket blockade, and then rushed angrily towards the tanks.
When the cavalry of more than 100 people rushed around the tank, they suddenly saw several tanks lined up in front of them suddenly start to brake, and in an instant, a ball of flames gushed out, like a few monsters spitting anger.
As long as these flames swept past the enemy knights, they immediately ignited with the people and horses, even if the enemy fell off their horses and crawled, there was no possibility of extinguishing, and the others saw such a miserable appearance, and immediately wanted to turn around and bypass, but suddenly heard countless sounds, and in the blink of an eye, many knights fell off their horses, and everyone was shooting blood in their chests, and an extremely terrifying hole was exposed behind them.
This group of knights had never seen such a weapon of war, so the whole person was stunned, and he didn't know how to face or defeat these monsters in front of him, and he even trembled a little all over, only feeling that a sense of powerlessness had hit his whole body, because he saw with his own eyes that the steel arrows he shot out, after hitting those monsters, just made a ding, and then bounced to the side.
Just when the team was stunned, a tall tank suddenly appeared from the left side, and then crushed down with people and horses, followed by countless blood plasma gushing out of the tracks, but this steel giant beast had no intention of staying at all, and continued to rush towards the knights.
As the tanks behind lined up again, and then began to crush with bursts of roars, the enemy cavalry that had been lucky enough to avoid could only watch as the friendly brothers who did not escape from the phalanx were crushed under these huge steel monsters.
When Li Li looked out from the square hole of the tank, suddenly a stream of blood rushed in, spilling his face, but he was not surprised, just wiped his face slightly, and then shouted to the operator: "Follow the Molotov cocktail running down from the hot air balloon, they have already pointed us in the direction." ”
Li Li's tank was particularly painted bright red, so his movement was the target of all tanks, and when he began to turn around and drive towards the northwest corner, the other tanks immediately followed, and after they passed, the ice and snow on the ground had mixed a lot of bright red, and even a lot of internal organs and broken bones could be seen mixed in the middle, which made people shudder.
It was also at this time that a large number of enemy cavalry finally broke through the artillery blockade, and then began to launch a surprise attack on the camp of the gunpowder army, when they vaguely saw that there seemed to be an obstacle in front of them, they had already collided with the tanks, and when there was no way to avoid it, the tanks lined up began to crush in the very concentrated cavalry regiment, and even the direction did not change, and it extended straight ahead.
Li Li's ears were full of clanging sounds from the outer armor of the tank at this moment, and countless arrows from the enemy army were shooting towards this side, at this time the tank phalanx had shrunk, and the periphery was protected by Spitfire tanks, and almost all of the enemy cavalry that rushed towards him would be instantly overwhelmed by the flames, without exception.
Suddenly, the clanging sound in Li Li's ears stopped abruptly, and then he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a soldier who was loading shells next to him saw it, and said with some doubts: "Has the enemy given up resistance?" Why don't you see them continue to shoot arrows? ”
Li Li laughed and said: "Mr. Kong Ming is a powerful person, blindly defending is just the next strategy, this will attract most of the enemy's attention, it is a good time for the gunpowder army in the camp to come out and move, Mr. Kong Ming can not let go of such an opportunity, so this group of enemy cavalry attacking us, it is estimated that the two sides have been outflanked." ”
Before Li Li's words fell, he immediately heard the sound of gunpowder bombs exploding in the distance, which seemed to be very lively.
Suddenly, I saw two signal flares fired from the hot air balloon in the sky again, and Li Li immediately frowned and shouted: "Don't pay attention to these enemy horses surrounding us, Ma Chao is about to escape." ”
