Chapter 188: The Final Battle
"Ma Teng! Don't say nice things to Lao Tzu! If you take advantage of my unpreparedness to attack Chang'an, you should think of today! Call us treacherous! It's up to you to choose! Everyone knows that you have also bought people in Chang'an, and you want to cooperate with the outside world, abandon us, and capture Chang'an! Pity! People are not as good as heaven! was recognized by Li Dao and Guo Yan! I had to go back to Xiliang! ”
"Now I see that our King Qinwang has successfully rescued the driver! Eyes red? Come and attack us? Who is the treacherous, you yourself know! Obediently dismount and surrender! Lao Tzu spares your life! Li Yu stood on the wheel of his own carriage in high spirits, shouting and scolding; They have been chasing Ma Teng's ass for three days, while spreading the news that the Xiliang army's food and grass have been cut off, while shooting some letter arrows that disturb the other party, Li Yu's painstaking plan is to defeat Ma Teng and make a name for himself; He behaved very plainly and indifferently in front of everyone, but in fact, he cared to death in his heart; Someone's heart is really not very big; ……
……
The "coalition army" is formed by the fusion of multiple forces and ideas for the common good, and there is a prerequisite here, that is, no one in a single force can accomplish or obtain that great benefit alone, because of this, it is better for them to decide to divide up together, than not to get it; However, the term "coalition forces" has always represented words such as "end of nothing", "intrigue", and "gaps in life", because everyone has their own thoughts, and it is not a machine that can completely obey orders, and it is precisely because of this that the coalition forces are prone to failure; For example: The Eighteenth Route Coalition fought against Dong Zhuo, which seemed to be victorious, but in fact it was defeated miserably! Another example is the coalition launched by Yuan Shu to defeat Cao Cao, because of the dispersion of forces, Cao Cao was finally cleaned up fiercely; In addition, Tao Qian's Xuzhou coalition army that marched to King Qin, because it was never able to reach an agreement on the conditions, ended without a problem, and the closest may be Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, the alliance of King Qin, which ended up without a problem because of many contradictions; Compared with the coalition army composed of these large forces, the military horses of Ma Teng and Han Sui are the coalition forces composed of small forces, and the soldiers and horses of these Qiang commanders are more than 30,000 or 20,000 people, and the forces are complex and elbow each other. But now they are being chased, and the army led by Li Yu who is chasing them has 50,000 people, although they are not as numerous as them, but the army is majestic and neat, and the marching array is like a whole, as if a rolling giant wheel seems to crush everything... Ma Teng's Xiliang Army still maintained the last bit of demeanor, and did not flee in embarrassment like a lost dog... It looks like it's almost there; Pang De's appearance no longer needs Li Yu to spread the news that the Xiliang Army's military rations have been cut off, etc., the grain and grass have been lost, everyone knows it, even some old and weak war horses have been slaughtered as military food, which is not common in the Qiang army that loves horses like their lives, once this situation is discovered, it can only mean that they are exhausted!
If you want to retreat, you have to get rid of Li Yu and his military horses, otherwise, their fate can only be rout! Flee again! This is not something that Ma Teng can tolerate, the biggest reason why he can become the leader of this military horse is the prestige he has accumulated over the years, if he loses this battle, he may be crushed by Han Sui when he goes... At this time, it was the psychology and the command of the battle, Ma Teng decided to do his best to defeat the Cao army behind him when the military rations could still last for a day, which also led to the situation that the two armies faced each other; ……
……
"Li Yu! I respect you as a celebrity and a celebrity! Why bother pressing it step by step? You don't have as many soldiers and horses as I do, and if you continue like this, you will lose both! ", hard is not good, then come soft, Ma Teng seems to be bitter; Fart! It's all! Bullshit Baume & Mercier! Lao Tzu doesn't eat that! Either surrender or - die! You will have to pay for your actions no matter what! Li Yu is determined to keep the Xiliang Army, how can he be bluffed with a few words?
The Xiliang army seems to have a huge number of people, but sometimes the war can't just look at the number of people, otherwise, the overlord of Chu back then would not be able to rely on 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers, plus 20,000 or 30,000 old and weak remnants, to break the Qin army of 200,000! And kill those people!
You must know that it is the elite of Great Qin! A true elite tempered by blood and fire!
"Who will take down the enemy with me?" , Ma Teng ignored Li Yu's scolding, and roared, since it doesn't make sense, let's fight! The winner is king, and the loser is cole!
He knows now, Douzui, he is not Li Yu's opponent at all, he will be exposed!
"Li Yu! Do you dare to fight me to the death? The little handsome guy has been tortured enough these days, and his temperament is naturally big. In the sharp whistle, he came out strongly and shouted angrily; Li Yu spread his hands, he now has no generals, even if there are many captains in the old department of Xiliang, it is undoubtedly not bad, but compared with Ma Chao, it is also a difference between cloud and mud, he naturally will not let these people go to death, in this situation, Li Mou has a standard posture of a contemporary scribe to meet and salute..."Hahaha!" ...", a burst of laughter erupted among Cao Jun, Li Yu's meaning is already obvious, I am a scribe who is powerless, you let the scribe fight alone with the general? Brain-dead! Cao Jun, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, laughed on the spot; Ma Chao's smiling face was blue and white for a while, and he was angry for a while that he forgot about this stubble, and as a result, he made such a big oolong and was laughed at; "Drink!" , with a tiger roar, the red-eyed Ma Chao rode forward, looking like he was going to have a drama of taking the head of the general from the army; Li Yu laughed twice like a scoundrel, and turned serious: "Crossbowman!" Shoot! Although it was not a flurry of arrows, the rain of hundreds of dense arrows was enough for Ma Chao to choke, sweeping down the arrows shot in front of him, Ma Chao was helpless and did not dare to move forward and stopped; Brave and idiocy are just a line between it, in this case, it is not brave to rush forward without life, it is a problem with the brain!
Ma Teng raised his arms high, and with his legs between the horse's belly, he rushed forward: "Rush——! ”
Suddenly, thousands of horses galloped, the arrogance was monstrous, the earth seemed to tremble, and the Xiliang army had to fight to the death in order not to retreat as a loser!
The predecessor of this Cao army commanded by Li Yu was the old department of the Xiliangbian Army, and they were used to seeing this kind of large-scale cavalry charge, and their psychological quality was excellent. The nemesis of the light cavalry is the bow and crossbow class, as long as there are enough bows and arrows to give them enough damage, light cavalry does not have the thick armor of heavy cavalry, and it is easy to be injured... With or without intention, Li Yu has prepared enough arrows just for today's battle; Contemptuously curling the corners of his mouth, Li Yu raised the Ling Banner, and the crossbowmen behind him opened their bows and pulled arrows, and as the Ling Banner suddenly fell, the arrows also rained out... It kept traveling far away, rushing upwards, and finally it landed unwillingly..."Ahhh Bring up a piece of blood!
Perhaps the dream of bows and arrows was to one day overlook the earth, but they did not get rid of the original purpose for which they were created, which was war and kill!
The screams and crashes echoed across the open ground, and the enthusiasm was as fierce as it was tragic and fierce... 10,000 cavalry guards the front, 3,000 soldiers with shields to protect 10,000 archers behind them, and then a large number of cavalry in the back, a very simple arrangement, which is not simple, Li Yu needs to shoot three arrows as much as possible when the enemy is in front of the enemy, and then split into two and turn out from the flanks, accompanied by 3,000 shield players; Three feathered arrows is already their limit, and after a little later the enemy will rush to the front, when the 10,000 cavalry in front will engage them directly, and when the archers have retreated, the cavalry of the second camp in the rear will launch a second round of assault... If you are not careful, the enemy will not be chaotic, and you will be in chaos first; At this time, the test is the coordination, obedience, and discipline of the troops; The light cavalry will be easily injured, and so will the horses, in this era when there are no horseshoes, many military horses are easy to fall over and get injured on the way to run, let alone encounter arrows? People turned on their backs, many people were not killed by the enemy's arrows, but were trampled to death by their companions who rushed from behind, and were crushed to death by their own horses... There are all kinds of ways to die; It was precisely because of the hesitation and the fear that everyone would have, that the three rounds of arrows greatly blocked and injured the Xiliang army, the archers and shield bearers of the Cao army retreated calmly, and the cavalry stepped forward and charged with a roar; The advantage of the charge is the biggest killer weapon of the cavalry, because of hesitation, because of fear, the Xiliang army was seriously injured just by looking at the face, and the Cao army rushed into the cavalry formation of the Xiliang army like a knife cutting tofu, and the bloody fight began..."Ling Ming! Divide your forces to attack from the left flank! Ma Teng's example is just to stimulate morale, without that real battlefield will put himself in danger, you must know that anything can happen on the battlefield, even the emperor can ignore the sharp broadsword and spear; Perseverance, bravery, calmness and good fighting have always been Pound's merits, and when he heard Ma Teng's order, he did not hesitate to attack Cao's army on the left flank; But, will it be easy? The archers and shieldmen, who were divided into two parts, withdrew to the positions on both flanks, did they just withdraw from the battlefield? No! It's just a different environment! Ma Teng seems to have miscalculated...
