Chapter 276: Ma Chao is also aggrieved
"Kill-" The two cavalry were about to encounter, Ma Chao shouted loudly, and rushed towards Tang Ting with a steel gun in his hand.
Tang Ting, who was calculating the distance between the two sides, saw that the time had come, and waved his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow-"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
"Whoosh"
After three waves of arrows in a row, Tang Ting raised his spear and shouted again, and the spear swung: "Points-"
The iron cavalry torrent instantly separated from the middle, split into two, and then went away from the left and right sides, avoiding the assault momentum of the Xiliang cavalry.
Three waves of arrows rained down in a row, and the Xiliang cavalry fell one after another.
Ma Chao was accumulating strength to fight with the enemy Tang Ting, but he didn't expect to pounce in the air, like a punch in the air, and his chest was uncomfortable, at this time he was faced with two choices: first, turn around and chase up to fight the male and female; Second, regardless of the fact that they rushed directly to the flank of the main force of the Flame Army.
He was ignoring the cavalry of the Flame Army, following the instructions of his father Ma Teng, leading the army directly to the flank of the main army of the Flame Army, but he turned his head to see that the cavalry under his command behind him was like cutting wheat and was constantly shot and fallen by the cavalry of the Flame Army that had been rounded to the two wings.
Seeing this, he rushed to the top of the door, forgetting that his main task was to storm the flank of the main force of the Flame Army, and as soon as he pulled the reins, he turned around and chased after the cavalry of the Flame Army.
When the Xiliang cavalry saw Ma Chao's operation, they were all a little overwhelmed, didn't they want to attack the flank of the Flame Army? How do you want to fight this cavalry?
But Ma Chao had already turned around, and they could only follow him to turn around and pursue.
But the Flame Army was divided into two groups, and he could only chase one on his side, and the other Flame Army turned around and followed the Xiliang cavalry rear team to chase and kill again.
The rain of arrows kept shooting at the Xiliang cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry kept falling from the horseback, the backward Xiliang cavalry wanted to turn around to face the battle, but they were quickly shot one by one, and the other cavalry of the Flame Army who saw this group of flames chasing behind couldn't help but blow their horses and accelerate forward.
"Brave bandits, it's a hero who turns around and fights me to the death!" Ma Chao yelled while chasing, unaware that the Xiliang cavalry under his command was being shot by another flame army cavalry in the back.
At this time, the cavalry of the Flame Army, which was running in front, swung its tail ninety degrees under Tang Ting's command, forming a horizontal plane, leaving its back to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao saw that the other party had sped up, thinking that the other party wanted to run, and accelerated his own, and yelled: "Don't run!" ”
However, the other party really slowed down the speed of running, but immediately after that, the cavalry of the Flame Army in front of them opened their bows and turned back to release arrows.
"Whoosh ······"
"I ······" Ma Chao was shocked, and hurriedly waved his steel gun to shoot away the arrows that kept shooting, "Ding Ding Ding ······"
He could knock out the arrows one by one, but the Xiliang cavalry behind him didn't have this ability, and they were shot one after another and fell off their horses, and then were trampled into flesh by countless horses' hooves.
Ma Chao wanted to take out his bow and arrows to fight back, but if he put down his weapon, he would be hit by a rain of arrows, so he could only keep waving his spear to block the arrows, so that he could only be beaten passively, but he had no power to fight back.
"I, my dignified Divine Mighty Heavenly General only has the power to parry, but has no ability to fight back!" Ma Chao was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, and wanted to open his mouth to scold people, but he didn't have the time to spare.
Tang Ting in front saw that there were mountains in front of him, and it was not good to go any further, so he immediately pulled the reins, turned the war horse to the right, turned around to the right again, and then turned to the right, leading the Xiliang cavalry to keep herding sheep.
Ma Chao now finally realized the shortcomings of a single weapon on horseback, his cavalry tactics learned from Xiqiang, the cavalry are good at using spears, using spear cavalry to assault the enemy army formation has a more powerful impact and piercing ability than the Hun cavalry using scimitars, but now when encountering the Flame Army, a light cavalry equipped with light cavalry bows and knives, it is too passive to fight.
The cavalry of the Flame Army did not engage in contact with him head-on at all, and took advantage of the light load, flexible and strong endurance of the war horse, so that he could not catch up or reach him, and could only be beaten passively.
Since the establishment of the cavalry of the Flame Army, not only has Ma Chao suffered the loss of this kind of cavalry equipped with bows and arrows, but Cao Ren has been even more frightened by this type of army and this method of warfare, and he can't think of how to crack this method of battle until now.
Ma Chao jumped like thunder, but he couldn't think of a good way, helpless, his horse is also a BMW, the speed is much faster than the average war horse, he can catch up alone, but there are so many soldiers around and behind him, he can't leave them alone to chase the enemy, so he can only follow his command to be beaten passively.
After such a long time of chasing and counter-pursuit, the two thousand Xiliang cavalry saw one by one fall off their horses, and the loss was so that only more than 1,000 horsemen remained, and the remaining Xiliang cavalry was really frightened, they chased and couldn't catch up, and when they caught up, the other party kept releasing arrows, and they didn't have bows and arrows.
At this moment, they really want to die, why are people so aggrieved when they live?
Soon there were Xiliang cavalry who couldn't stand it, and they were frightened, so they ran to the periphery when they hit the horse, and this time, the other Xiliang cavalry also ran, forgetting everything about the formation and orders, and only caring about their own escape.
"Major General, you've been tricked, let's go!" A pro-soldier shouted at Ma Chao next to him.
Ma Chao didn't want to leave, because it was too embarrassing, his Shenweitian General was beaten so powerlessly that he couldn't fight back, wouldn't he be ashamed to say it? But the words of this pro-soldier made him turn around immediately, and he was tricked!
"Let's go!" Ma Chao shook the horse's head, turned around and ran, he planned to meet Ma Teng.
At this time, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see billowing smoke and dust rising from the sky, two big flags hunting with the wind, and countless cavalry galloping towards this side.
"Oh no, there's another Flame Army cavalry!"
The Xiliang cavalry didn't dare to continue to stay, This Flame Army cavalry can't be defeated, how can they fight again?
On the battlefield of the infantry duel, Ma Teng was trying his best to maintain, and the infantry of the Flame Army was outflanked from both flanks, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to send 10,000 infantry to the two flanks to block, he was afraid that he would have been defeated at this moment.
Everyone knew that if the two wings were defeated, the rout would definitely disperse the main position of the Chinese army, and the rear army would also suffer.
At this time, the situation was still undefeated and undefeated, and the infantry of the Flame Army, which was still small in number and strong in military quality, had some advantages, but Ma Teng believed that he still had an absolute advantage in numbers, and as long as he commanded properly, he would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.
But at this time, there were chaotic screams and horses' hooves from the periphery of the left flank, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and found that Ma Chao was running towards this side with some Xiliang cavalry in embarrassment.
Ma Teng chuckled in his heart, the secret way is not good, how could Chao'er lose the battle?
