Chapter 284: Zhang Liao's Great Enlightenment

Since Hua Xiong asked these young instructors to go to Zhang Liao and them for military exercises, he also made an agreement.

That means he's definitely sure of winning.

The exercise began in earnest.

"Brother Wenyuan, how are we going to fight?"

Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

Zhang Liao is brave, brave and strategic.

It is not only highly used by Huaxiong, but also deeply respected by colleagues.

So he faintly became the first person among the generals under Hua Xiong, and everyone came to him for ideas.

Zhang Liao looked at the map in his hand, glanced at the jungle and mountains in the distance, and said softly,

"Let's divide into three armies, left, center, and right, each leading 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and hold the formation for the time being.

Let's see how the enemy attacks. ”

"Yes!"

The crowd came down in unison.

"Brother Wenyuan, how should the 1,000 artillery soldiers be placed?"

Liao Hua asked.

"Hehe, this artillery is incapacitated, leave it to our Chinese army."

Xu Huang interjected.

"Gongming, you guy is so cunning that he wants to swallow it alone."

Gao Shun's eyes widened.

"It's like, it's a good thing, I can't give it all to you."

Liao Hua is unrelenting.

They had followed Huaxiong and had seen the power of artillery on the battlefield, so they all wanted to take the thousand artillery away.

"It's better to do this, this thousand artillery pieces are evenly distributed among the three armies."

Zhang Liao suggested.

"Okay."

"No problem."

Everyone had no objections, and they agreed.

"Hehe, brothers, let those recruits in the martial arts hall taste our awesomeness!"

Liao Hua said in a loud voice.

The people were divided into three parts and scattered.

Zhang Liao looked at the formation of the instructors of the Martial Arts Hall in the distance, and the expression on his face was a little solemn.

"Brother Wenyuan, is there anything abnormal?"

Xu Huang said curiously.

"Hey, I don't know, I just feel heavy in my heart."

Zhang Liao sighed,

"Get ready for battle."

The forces of both sides were quickly ready.

The first wave of attacks was spearheaded by the officers of the Lecture Hall.

They did not choose to divide their troops like Zhang Liao and others.

Instead, he directly used 6,000 infantry to attack Ma Chao of the left army.

"It seems that this boy still thinks highly of me."

The corner of Ma Chao's mouth sneered, and he ordered,

"The whole army should do a good job of defense and hold its ground."

Although the infantry under his command was only 2,000, the formation was tight.

Even if Jiang Wei has the advantage in numbers, it is impossible to capture it in a short time.

At that time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang of the Chinese army, as well as Gao Shun and Liao Hua on the right flank, could attack Jiang Wei from the flank and attack his ribs.

In this way, the battle was won.

Ma Chao didn't need to send someone to inform Zhang Liao at all, he believed that Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others would not miss such a good opportunity.

This is the control and grasp of the battle situation by the famous generals!

The infantry on both sides were still one hundred and fifty paces away, and suddenly there was a "rumbling" roar from the sky, as if it were thunder.

Ma Chao subconsciously raised his head, but found that the sun was shining, and it didn't seem like it was going to rain at all.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

At the same time, the referee who was in charge of observing the battle next to him waved the small flag in his hand and said loudly,

"Ma Chaojun suffered a thousand casualties!"

"What?"

Ma Dai's eyes widened, and he said incredulously,

"Before we even started fighting, we suffered a thousand casualties? You're kidding? ”

"The enemy fired a volley of artillery, and your troops were in close formation, so it was concluded that there were 1,000 casualties."

The referee was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not afraid at all because Ma Dai was a general.

"You!"

Ma Dai wanted to say something, but was dragged by Ma Chao.

"Shut up, if you are dissatisfied, wait until the military exercise is over, and then complain to the lord about them."

Ma Chao glared at him and scolded sharply.

Before the start of the military exercise, Hua Xiong repeatedly applied for orders, and if he had any doubts about the referee's decision, he could raise it afterwards.

However, it is absolutely not allowed to interfere with the work of the referee during the military exercise, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law.

Ma Dai had to hate the authentic,

"Brother Meng Qi, what should we do now?"

The enemy army has not been seen, and half of the men and horses have been directly lost, how can this battle continue?

"Disperse the troops first, or if there is another round of shelling, this battle will not be fought."

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered.

Although he had never used artillery in actual combat, he also knew that if the formation was tight, the artillery would bombard, and the losses would be absolutely heavy.

It's just that as soon as he ordered the remaining infantry to scatter, the troops from the martial arts hall rushed up.

6,000 infantry against 1,000 infantry, with 1,000 cavalry and 300 artillery, how could Ma Chao be their opponents?

Holding out for only a moment, the infantry position was directly scattered.

Ma Dai used the wooden sword in his hand to cut down a military exercise soldier, who honestly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

He yelled at Ma Chao, "Brother Meng Qi! ”

Ma Chao wiped the sweat from his face and looked blankly,

He only felt as if he was in the middle of a vast ocean, surrounded by enemy soldiers.

"Brother Wenyuan, where are they?"

Ma Dai asked loudly.

"I don't know."

Ma Chao shook his head, his face gloomy.

According to the normal situation, Zhang Liao and the others should be attacking the ribs of Jiang Wei's army at this moment.

But I didn't see them at all.

In fact, Ma Chao and Ma Dai didn't know that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were also experiencing problems at the moment.

Just as Jiang Wei was about to attack Ma Chao, the two of them had already mobilized their troops and prepared to flank and attack the troops of the martial arts.

However, no sooner had their infantry set off than the enemy's cavalry units were killed.

Cavalry naturally restrained infantry.

If the infantry wants to fight against it, they must form a formation.

But in this way, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun lost the initiative.

Gao Shun looked through the telescope given to him by Hua Xiong, looking at Ma Chao's army, which had been eaten up by most of it, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This ...... What exactly is this tactic? ”

He couldn't help but lose his voice.

The rest of the generals were also extremely embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, less than two hours after the war began, Ma Chao's department was trapped to death.

Are those officers who teach martial arts so powerful?

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed through Zhang Liao's mind.

He slapped the table and jerked to his feet.

"I know, I finally know."

Everyone was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

"Brother Wenyuan, what do you know?"

Xu Huang couldn't help but ask.

"I finally know what the lord said, what the infantry and artillery mean by fighting together."

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone was even more puzzled.

"Listen to me. The so-called coordinated operation of infantry artillery means that multiple arms of the armed forces work together to give play to their respective strengths. ”

Zhang Liao patiently explained.

"Take, for example, the attack of Boyo. Faced with the dense infantry formation laid by Meng Qi, he chose to use artillery salvos. ”

"This round of salvo fire wiped out most of Meng Qi's infantry, and even destroyed the formation of his troops."
