Chapter 494: Breaking the Iron Car Formation

After returning to the tent, Yuan Shang immediately began to think about the strategy of subduing the iron convoy.

Mountains of iron and countless mules and horses, such a huge amount of military supplies, anyone will be thrilled.

Digging pits and setting fires, these tactics are very easy, and the victory will be relatively simple, but the huge team of iron chariots and the mules and horses pulling the carts will be wasted, which is not what Yuan Shang wants to see! Those things were all looted and blackmailed by Cherrigi in the countries of the Western Regions for nearly ten years, and destroying them like this trampled on the blood and sweat of the people of the Western Regions and the fruits of Cherrigi's labor?

Yuan Shang has a rough plan in his heart, but whether this plan can be realized depends on the ability of one person, and that person is Ma Jun.

When Ma Jun was captured by Zhang Xiu, there were almost no words, and he immediately surrendered without waiting for Yuan Shang to surrender, Su Bige killed the people of Ma Jun's whole township when he collected grain, and constantly exerted high pressure on him, Ma Jun had long been afraid of him, and hated him so much, to be able to get out of his control and return to someone else's command, it was a good thing for Ma Jun to fall from the sky, where is there any prevarication? What's more, this person who wants to recruit himself is still a first-class figure in the world like Yuan Shang, and in normal times, he is afraid that he will not be able to rank him if he wants to follow Yuan Shang.

Summoning Ma Jun to his handsome tent, Yuan Shang made a statement to Ma Jun about his plan.

"You want me to go to Cherrigi's camp to surrender?" After listening to Yuan Shang's words, Ma Jun's face turned a little pale, obviously, such a dangerous thing as deception is not Ma Jun's counterpart.

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Yes, I know that this matter is very difficult for you, but I can't think of letting you go if it is someone else, but at present, you are the only one in our army who can understand mechanical things." ”

Ma Jun hesitated for a while when he heard this, and finally nodded. Said: "If the general has any orders, just tell me, and I will do everything below." ”

Yuan Shang said to Ma Jun: "Before explaining the plan, you tell me first, do you have a way to transform the iron team of Cheriji, so that his iron car can increase its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but once the run lasts, some inevitable ...... will appear Accidents that are out of control or damaged? …… I mean, you know. ”

Ma Jun blinked and thought for a while. Said: "I don't see the real thing, I'm not sure, but the skills of the machine, the extreme, all have their own unique operation and context, there are disadvantages, there are advantages, if I see the real thing, I want to do some transformation to complete the general's vision." It shouldn't be difficult. ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, that's good." Bring your ears to me, and I'll tell you. You should have gone to deceive this time, and you should have ...... so."

“………………”

***********************

Cherrigi's camp.

"Ma Jun is here to vote? Who is Ma Jun? ”

Beside Cherrigi, Prime Minister Yadan seems to have a thorough grasp of Yongliang's recent situation. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "King, I heard that Ma Jun is a capable person that Song Jian has just recruited recently. The best fortification, in Huaili City a few days ago, he helped Song build stones, bed crossbows, crossbows and other things, and once rejected Yuan Shang, but he was a strange person. ”

"Oh?" Cherrigi was stunned when he heard this, blinked and said, "Is there still such a person in the world?" Interesting! If he is a strange man, let him come to the handsome tent to meet me! ”

"No."

When he was young, Ma Jun was recruited into the handsome tent and saluted Cheriji.

Cherrigi beckoned, let Ma Jun flatten his body, and then looked him up and down, and said: "Ma Jun, I heard that Song Jian's soldiers and horses were disabled by Yuan Shang in Huaili City, and they didn't know where to go, he didn't come, why did you suddenly appear here?" ”

When Ma Jun heard this, he sighed with emotion: "In the battle of Huaili City, the Yuan army was like a broken bamboo, scattered our soldiers and horses, fled under the disguise of ordinary soldiers, lost contact with the King of Song, was alone and helpless, and looked for the King of Song. ”

Cheriji suddenly heard this, Ma Jun's words were not missing, and the Qiang generals did not doubt it.

Cherry Ji looked Ma Jun up and down a few times, and suddenly said: "Ma Jun, I heard that you are a master of engineering weapons, and the strange tools you make are extremely powerful, and you have defeated Yuan Shang?" ”

Ma Jun hurriedly shook his hand when he heard this, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a fluke." ”

"Hugh is too humble!"

"Since the king said so, that's it."

Cherrigi waved his hand and said, "Good! In this case, then let's do it, there is an iron chariot army under the account of this king, which is a heavy chariot team built with iron tools, which is extremely powerful, and this king is about to use this army of soldiers and horses to compete with Yuan Shang, since you are a master of engineering weapons, you will go with this king to see, and see what its power is? ”

Ma Jun nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and then followed Cherrigi out of the account.

When I came to the place where the iron chariots were arrayed in Cherijitun, I saw that as far as the force could see, there were dazzling heavy chariots, which were pulled by mules, horses or camels, and they were so powerful and shocking to see.

As Ma Jun walked, he walked in to study and observe carefully, and while listening to Cherrigi's introduction, he probably had a number of iron cars in his heart.

After Cherrigi finished the introduction, he immediately asked Ma Jun with a smile: "Mr. Ma, in your opinion, how is my iron chariot army?" ”

Ma Jun smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The king's iron chariot army is rare in ancient and modern times, the lineup is huge, and its power is unparalleled in the world regardless of attack and defense. ”

Hearing this, Cherrigi was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Beside Cherrigi, Prime Minister Yadan was an understanding person, and said: "Mr. Ma, don't pick up good things and say, we also know the disadvantages of this ironclad chariot army, since you are an expert in weapons, how can you not know the disadvantages of this thing?" ”

Ma Jun heard this, sighed: "As Prime Minister Yadan said, although this thing is powerful, it is cast by iron, the weight is too heavy, and it is carried by many mules and horses, the speed is still slightly slow, and the most important thing is that it lacks agility, and there is no problem with rushing straight forward. ”

Cherrigi nodded.

Prime Minister Yadan showed an appreciative look and said, "Since this is the case, then I wonder if Mr. Ma has a way to improve?" ”

Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "It's a heavy thing to run on." If you want to change its agility, the key is to focus on the axle and base, and if you carefully weigh the bottom and axle beam, and then change the keel, you may be able to increase its maneuverability. ”

Cherrigi looked at Yadan hesitantly, but Yadan touched his beard and did not speak.

Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "If the king is not at ease, you might as well let me transform one or two hundred vehicles first, and if it is available after being put into the battlefield, it is not too late to renovate it!" ”

Cherrigi heard this. Finally, he nodded slowly and agreed.

×××××××××××××××××××

Seven days later, the Yuan family and the Cheriji army were ready to go, and the two sides fought on the plain and started the first battle.

Among the Yuan army, the generals Pang De and Zhang Xiu led the elite soldiers and horses to take the lead in the formation, and set up a position with Cheriji.

Under the command of Pang De, the Yuan army should strike first and take the lead in rushing towards Cheriji's iron chariot army!

According to Pang De's arrangement, Yuan's crossbowmen were the first to stop on the battlefield. A huge rain of arrows was released in the air, and the overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the iron car array, in order to achieve the effect of preemptive strike.

The frightening arrow rain formation on weekdays is hitting the iron car formation at this moment. It was like a jump, almost without an itch, and those Qiang soldiers who relied on the thickness of the iron cart and the protection of the iron shield avoided the rain of arrows. Facing the stunned Yuan Jun, he looked up to the sky and smiled unbridled in the car.

Marshal Yueji, the first general under the command of Cherrigi, stood on a big car in the middle, arrogantly waving his teeth and claws at Sergeant Yuan. Meant to be despised!

When he was young, he saw Marshal Yueji wave the machete in his hand, and in the central formation of the Qiang army, countless iron cars roared, like a torrent of iron armor, and lined up in a long formation, rolling towards the Yuan army like a crush.

"Kill!"

In the hoarse shouts, the Iron Carriage Army lined up in a dense attack formation, using all kinds of cast iron weapons, and launched an attack on the Yuan army, like a torrent of steel and flesh, roaring, rolling, shouting, and unstoppably forcing the Yuan army to retreat step by step.

In the face of such an indestructible and seamless iron chariot array, the Yuan army, whether it was an infantry army or a cavalry crossbowman, could not find a breakthrough, and could only be driven by the iron chariots of the Qiang soldiers to retreat all the way, retreating again and again.

"Divert! Divert! Divert and retreat! ”

The Iron Carriage Army was crushing the Yuan army in a straight line, and when the Yuan army retreated, it was difficult to dodge, and Pang De immediately ordered all the sergeants to change the defensive line, from the original straight line to retreat to the left.

At this moment, the shortcomings of the Iron Carriage Army were undoubtedly revealed, it was easy for the Yuan Army to change direction and retreat, but it took a lot of effort for the Iron Carriage Army to change its direction once, and it took a long time to toss, and the overall change of the direction of the Iron Carriage Army was not seen, but several cars collided with each other back and forth in the same place.

At this moment, the retreating Yuan army left the iron chariot army far behind!

Cherrighi, who was observing from behind, turned red.

This iron car army is good at everything, but it is too difficult to change the direction when charging, and letting the car turn around is like letting the car take a big top, and no matter how you get it, it will not be effective.

"Look over there, King!" Prime Minister Yadan shouted in surprise.

Following the roar of Prime Minister Yadan, Cherrigi looked in that direction, and saw that in the iron car army, there were about 100 strange iron cars that had quickly turned the corner, and pursued the rear of the Yuan army at a very fast speed.

Cherrigi was overjoyed to see this!

"What's going on?"

Prime Minister Yadan hurriedly said: "King, that is a hundred iron cars that Ma Jun has transformed, this kid is really a talent, his changed car has greatly enhanced both speed and mobility, and completely makes up for the tribe of the iron car, if all the iron cars are transformed according to his method, then my iron car battle array will inevitably be able to sweep the world, not to mention the little Yongliang, it is to compete for the Han Dynasty, it is not impossible!" ”

"............" (To be continued......)
