Chapter 339: Seeing Through the Conspiracy
The young marshal has a few catties and a few taels, Mai Dashuai is naturally clear, and his heart says that it is precisely because the other party is a group of rabble, so he is relieved to hand it over to you to deal with, if it is replaced by the elite soldiers of the official army, where do you dare to let you go casually! In case there is a three-long and two-short, my old bones will also be compensated together.
Mai Dashuai knows very well in his heart that the most important reason why he sent himself to command the troops in this mission is to value his old age. The task is very simple, to attack a small town with such strength, it is effortless at all, to put it bluntly, it is to let that kid brush up on military merits, how can he not see this clearly. Therefore, Mai Dashuai knows that he only needs to create a suitable performance opportunity for the young marshal steadily, and as for whether he wins or not, there is no suspense at all.
Just a moment ago, he received information from the rebel army that he had already bought off from the rebel army, and Taoyuan Town had sent nearly 4,000 troops, and the target was undoubtedly his own team of 20,000 people. When the news arrived, the other party was less than half a day away from him. When Mai Dashuai heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears, it turned out that he thought that the other party would follow the old way before, relying on the city wall to defend it, with thousands of soldiers and horses that could be resurrected, it would indeed take him a lot of effort. But what does it mean for the other party to send troops out for field battles, although Mai Dashuai knows that the other party is not afraid of casualties, but what is the point of doing this? In the field, can these 4,000 soldiers and horses cause any substantial damage to their 20,000 troops? What a childishness!
However, this kind of undifficult battle is good news for Mai Dashuai. It was just used to train the young marshal, and it was regarded as a warm-up exercise before the official battle. So, he found someone to call the young marshal. gave him such an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Of course, some advice is indispensable, and his long-term thinking habits make him feel a little strange about this matter. Therefore, after the young marshal took the order, he called the cavalry general with the strongest strength and the strongest mobility under his command, and asked him to follow the young marshal's soldiers and horses. No matter how much conspiracy there is among the 4,000 enemy troops, it is impossible to turn up any storms. The so-called one force will drop ten meetings, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery is meaningless.
As he expected, not long after the young marshal led the people away, the latest information came that the four thousand soldiers and horses of Taoyuan Town had divided about a thousand soldiers and horses in the south-east of Meilin Town, and their whereabouts were unknown. Upon hearing the news, Mai Dashuai smiled. Sure enough, the other party has a conspiracy, but. This little ploy is too bad!
However, Mai Dashuai is right to think about it, the other party must not have imagined that his side has already planted eyeliner around them, and their every move cannot escape their own observation. Hence this self-righteous arrangement of the other party. In his eyes, it was purely a joke.
Mai Dashuai originally planned to inform the young marshal and let him be alert to the ambush ahead, but after thinking about it. This may be a good opportunity to teach the young marshal a lesson. With 5,000 soldiers and horses under the young marshal, he faced 4,000 enemy troops. Even if some of the other party was ambushed there, it would not pose much of a threat to his safety. When the time comes, the 1,000 cavalry under his command will be killed at the right time, which can not only relieve the siege of the young marshal, but also show that he expects the enemy first, so why not?
Therefore, he only sent someone to inform the cavalry general of the information he had received, and did not send anyone to inform the young marshal, while he himself still led the rest of the army and continued to march in the direction of Merlin.
The young marshal rushed with his large army in the direction of the enemy's attack in the intelligence, and as previously predicted, it did not take long for the two armies to meet. The high-spirited young marshal couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the disheveled army in front of him, which looked like a group of refugees with weapons.
This time, the 4,000-strong army went into battle, and it was none other than Wen Sili who led the troops. Wen Sili, who had just become a master, was already eager to try a hearty battle, and when he saw the military generals led by the local government laughing wildly, he didn't say a word, and led his men to rush towards the rebels.
The young marshal didn't expect the other party to be so anxious, and he was busy fighting without saying a word, but what surprised him even more was that the commander of the other party's army was still a woman, which would never happen in their rebel army, unless all the men died one day, otherwise how could the war let women go!
The young marshal originally wanted to personally come forward to try the other party's catties and taels, and by the way, see what the other party has to offer. However, after thinking about it, he decided to give up, the body of the daughter does not sag, with his identity, he can't risk his life, anyway, as long as he leads the troops to eliminate the other party, isn't the credit still his own?
The rebel soldiers brought out this time are all elite soldiers who have fought with the officers and soldiers on the front line, just standing there, the momentum is not comparable to ordinary players, don't look at the three thousand players screaming and rushing towards the enemy, at first glance, the momentum is there, but the temperament is much worse.
With fifty meters left between the two sides, the rebels attacked first. Countless sharp arrows flew out of the rebels' camp and flew straight towards the army of Taoyuan Town. Huang Zheng had expected it before, and he had specially explained before setting off that the formation could not be too tight, so the first wave of sharp arrows did not cause too much loss to the army in Taoyuan Town.
Come and don't be rude!
There were also archers in the army of Taoyuan Town, and when they saw that the other party began to shoot arrows, they began to bend their bows and build arrows. These archers were all drawn by Huang Zheng temporarily, and they had not received formal archer training, but they were just strong enough. Huang Zheng told them that after encountering the enemy, they don't need to think about aiming, just throw the arrow hard! This makes it much easier, and even those who have not learned it can complete basic archery movements.
Before the opponent's second round of arrow rain arrived, Taoyuan Town's arrow rain was launched!
Unlike the uniform movements of the rebels, the rain of arrows in Taoyuan Town is like a drizzle, falling in the rebels' army, although it did not cause many casualties, but it caused some distress to the rebels behind, obviously those arrows can be set aside, but you must spend a certain amount of attention to guard against not knowing when the arrows will fall towards you, so that the front army that is charging is obviously a distance away from the rear army.
