Chapter 268: Fire Attack
The more Ma Dai thought about it, the more anxious he became, and said, "Brother, this is clearly going to sacrifice armor and riding equipment to crash into Wugang's car. But it is impossible to crash into Wu Gang's car by doing this, and these four hundred armor riding equipment were formed by my brother with great difficulty, and there must be no loss! No, I have to dissuade my brother! With that, Ma Dai immediately kicked the war horse's abdomen lightly, urging the war horse to run towards Ma Chao who was in front of the formation.
Pound reached out and grabbed Ma Dai's reins and said, "Brother Dai, no." ”
The reason why Ma Dai is called by his name is because Ma Dai is still too young to take a word.
Ma Dai was surprised and said, "Brother Lingming, what are you stopping me from doing?" Do you want to watch the armor and horses fall away, and watch my brother make a mistake and lose this battle? ”
Yan Xing also said: "Yes, the young master is obviously making a mistake in this step. It's too late to dissuade now, it's too late to do so. ”
Pound pointed to the armor in front of him, which was already shrouded in the sound of iron hooves and smoke, and said, "Don't worry, you two, let's see how this armor is different from the past." ”
Ma Dai glanced at it hurriedly and said anxiously, "What's the difference?" Aren't they all human and horse equipment? ”
After Yan Xing looked at it carefully, he said, "No, today's armor and riding equipment have fixed things on the saddle. Brother Dai, look! ”
Ma Dai saw that it was true, and the saddle of each armor was equipped with an iron frame, and there were three black ball-shaped things on the iron frame.
Ma Dai looked at it for a while and said, "Isn't it a clay pot fixed on the saddle?" ”
Pound smiled: "What is in the clay pot? ”
Hearing this, Yan Xing and Ma Dai both understood, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Dai let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's still my brother who is smart!" ”
Yan Xing said happily: "Our army has won this battle!" ”
…………………………………
On the side of the official army, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Bao Hong, Zhou Shen, and Yuan Peng also saw Ma Chao ordering a horse to come and break the formation.
Dong Zhuo commanded the left flank, Zhou Shen commanded the right flank, Yuan Peng commanded the reserves, and Bao Hong commanded the Chinese army together with Huangfu Song.
Bao Hong's eyes were sharp, and he soon recognized the countless iron towers in the earth-shaking sound of iron hooves and the noisy smoke and dust, which were armor and riding equipment.
"A Riding Equipment!" Bao Hong couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a horse outfit!" Jin Ma Chao actually has armor and riding equipment, and there are a lot of them! ”
Huangfu Song has seen a lot of the world, but he is very calm, and said: "Since the establishment of our dynasty, we have been fighting against Xiqiang. Most of the imperial court's military spending, most of the elite soldiers, and most of the armaments were concentrated in Liangzhou. And Ma Teng Ma Chao's father and son swept Liangzhou and took it for themselves, so they naturally collected a lot of armor and riding equipment. ”
Bao Hong said: "Jin Ma Chao wants to use the fierce and heavy armor to crash and smash the Wugang car in front of our army!" Bicycle riding, how is this good? ”
Seeing Bao Hong so flustered, Huangfu Song said impatiently: "What are you panicking about? No matter how heavy and strong the armor is, it is still an iron-clad man after all. Not to mention that it hit the Wugang car, Jin Machao's armor must have suffered heavy casualties, even if it can crash the first Wugang car, it will never break the other two columns. When the time comes, see how much armor and riding equipment Jin Ma Chao still has to consume. ”
Hearing Huangfu Song say this, Bao Hong calmed down a lot, and said: "Jin Ma Chao actually made such a low-level mistake, he should have lost this battle!" ”
As the two were talking, A rider had already rushed to ten steps away from Wu Gang's car.
Huangfu Song wanted to test how thick the armor was, so he ordered the six thousand crossbowmen neatly arranged behind Wu Gang's car to fire a volley.
"Put!" Huang Fu Song gave an order, and ten thousand arrows fired in unison, cutting through the air and making a painful sound of breaking the air that made the eardrums hurt.
Such a terrible rain of arrows, but the armor and cavalry did not dodge, and they actually pulled their horses together, and they stayed only five steps away from Wugang's car array, and the black iron towers were silent, standing still.
The rain of arrows flew by, flew across the sky, and the next second they shot down one after another, like a torrential rain. The arrow hit the armor of the armor, and there was a "clanging" crash, and then it was bounced off and fell helplessly to the ground.
When the rain of arrows completely stopped, Huangfu Song was surprised to find that all the iron towers in front of him were still standing there. None of the towers fell, but the ground where the towers were located was full of arrows.
Bao Hong's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Half of them are crossbow arrows shot by crossbows, and they can't even shoot armor!" ”
Huangfu Song said impatiently: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, they can't break the old man's carefully arranged Wugang car formation! ”
Bao Hong stared at the armor and horses, and said: "Look at the chariots, these armor and horses don't actually carry weapons, but are equipped with a lot of clay pots. ”
"Clay pots?" Huang Fu Song was puzzled.
Cherrigi, who was in front of Huangfu Song, saw that the officers and soldiers were no longer firing volleys, so he shouted: "Everyone, smash me!" ”
As he spoke, Cherrigi took the lead in picking up a clay pot from the saddle iron frame, raised it high, and threw it violently at the Wugang chariot formation that was close at hand.
"Bang!" With a bang, the clay pot hit Wugang's car, and it shattered instantly, splashing a lot of liquid inside.
Huangfu Song finally understood at this time, and shouted in horror: "It's not good! It's soybean oil! Jin Ma Chao wants to use fire to burn Wugang's car! ”
No matter what Huangfu Song thought, he followed Cheriji, scrambling to throw all the clay pots full of soybean oil at Wugang's car, and suddenly, there was a loud "bang bang" in front of the official army.
Ma Chao saw from afar that the armor was perfectly completed in the armor equipment, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth. Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Yan Xing, Ma Dai, Pang De and others also showed happy smiles on their faces.
Since the first riding equipment is only five steps away from the Wugang car, even the last Wugang car can be thrown into it, so that the soybean oil will be contaminated with the Wugang car. The first column of crossbowmen after Wu Gang's chariot formation, and even some people were hit by clay pots.
Huangfu Song shouted anxiously: "Once Wugang's car is burned, our army will have no hindrance before the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" The Xiliang Iron Cavalry can turn the infantry-based Chinese army into powder and crash into meat paste! Quickly give the order and order all the pikemen and shield bearers of the Chinese army to gather behind the Wugang car! And order all the crossbowmen to retreat! ”
All the lieutenant generals, military generals, other department horses, and school captains all looked at Huangfu Song with embarrassed expressions.
Huangfu Song roared angrily: "Look at what! Don't go yet! ”
The generals looked embarrassed, and Bao Hong said: "The chariot and cavalry, because the Chinese army was arranged like this at the beginning, and was not ready to deal with the Wugang car being broken, so the Chinese army did not have many shield soldiers, and the pikemen were arranged at the end." If you want to mobilize the shieldmen and pikemen in front of the formation, and withdraw the crossbowmen, the whole formation will be completely disorganized. ”
