Chapter 078: Peeling Strike

In addition to the four five hundred leaders of the militia group and the thousand-person team, Zhang Chen, Zhang Qi, Guan Yun and Jin Hao, there were also Jin Tian, the commander of the Panlong Guard, and Lu Kuang, the captain of the Huangsha City Guard. There are also 500 veteran guards brought by Lu Kuang, so the authority is equivalent to 500 chiefs.

This time in the war, the veteran guards led by Lu Kuang joined as an independent unit. The veterans performed very well in battle, although they all wore prosthetic limbs or prosthetic legs, but their combat effectiveness on horses was not inferior at all, and sometimes because of the deceptiveness of prosthetic limbs or prosthetic legs, they also achieved unexpected results when fighting the enemy.

Imagine an enemy slashing at their prosthetic leg unscathed, and yet they are able to strike back unceremoniously while the enemy is stunned.

Therefore, in this battle, the record of 500 veteran guards is also very impressive.

Several leaders gathered together and first reported the battle damage to Ma Shuo. In comparison, it was Zhang Qi's men and horses who suffered the most losses, and after statistics, the accurate battle death data was 97 people, and 31 people were seriously injured, which was basically a complete loss of combat effectiveness.

Under Guan Yun's command, 37 people were killed in the battle and 26 were seriously wounded. Under Jin Hao's command, 40 people were killed in the battle and 31 people were seriously wounded. Under Zhang Chen, 28 people were killed in the battle and 45 were seriously wounded. Panlongwei was not killed in battle, but three were seriously wounded. Guarding veterans, five people were killed in the battle, and no serious injuries were made.

In this raid, 207 people were killed and 136 were seriously wounded, and a total of 3,202 people are still able to participate in the battle. At present, there are 3,573 war horses, and there is no shortage of materials and equipment, which can still support enough time.

In this raid, according to preliminary statistics, a total of nearly 3,000 barbarians were killed, including the 500 barbarian cavalry forwards. Obviously, the destruction of the five hundred barbarian cavalry vanguard still had a great impact on the march of the barbarian team, and without enough scout force, the barbarians did not dare to speed up the march in the future.

Obviously, this buys time for further action.

"Guys, do you have any suggestions for your next steps?" After Ma Shuo understood the relevant situation, he immediately asked. Bai Xuan was in charge of logistics in the cottage, and Fan Zeng was still in Huangsha City, and for a while, Ma Shuo had no staff to discuss things. In desperation, he had no choice but to discuss with these five hundred chiefs. It's just that Ma Shuo also knows that these leaders are okay to fight, but when it comes to strategy, it's much worse.

"My lord, what do you say, how do we fight! Listen to you! "No, Zhang Qi's guy was the first to throw the problem to Ma Shuo, Zhang Qi, who has a beard, is very good at fighting, but if he wants to find a way, it will be difficult to kill him.

"My lord, we all mean this. However, I have a small suggestion, can we send someone to contact other militia organizations in the vicinity, or forces like the Huangsha City Protectors, and ask them to cooperate and help. Jin Tian who spoke this time. I have to say that Jin Tian's proposal is also a valuable suggestion.

"Someone!"

Ma Shuo suddenly shouted towards the door. Immediately, I saw a Panlongwei guard walk in and came straight to Ma Shuo.

"Let Sun San come over!" Sun San is the small leader of the hidden guards, and is responsible for reporting the information collected by the hidden guards to Ma Shuo. Soon after the guards went out, a man with a very simple appearance walked in from outside, came directly to Ma Shuo, saluted Ma Shuo, and stood quietly aside.

"How many militia groups are there nearby?" Ma Shuo asked directly.

"Two families, one is the militia group of Cuijiabao, there are more than 1,000 people. There is also a militia group in Wujiapo, with about 18,900 people. Cuijiabao is thirty miles away from here, and Wujiapo is about forty miles. Sun San replied without hesitation, obviously, he was very familiar with these situations, and Ma Shuo was obviously asking the right person.

Although he was not sure whether the other party would take care of him, Ma Shuo still sent Panlongwei to guard him and issued a conscription order to the two militia groups in the name of the commander of the thousand-man team of the Zhenbarian Army. During the critical period, Ma Shuo naturally didn't have time to be polite to the other party, so he could only use this tough way. Of course, it is difficult to say whether the other party will ignore his conscription order, because once the other party does not pay attention, he will also find various reasons.

Of course, Ma Shuo did not put his hope on others, and the power in his own hands was the most important thing. After learning about the current location of He Yilong's men and horses, Ma Shuo issued further combat orders, making full use of the advantage of cavalry and constantly harassing the barbarian team.

Ma Shuo's decision gave Wuyan Muchi, the barbarian leader, a headache. Only more than five hundred of the cavalry under his command remained as guards, but the ranks could not be without scouts. In desperation, Wuyan Muchi could only release a part of the guards cavalry to play the role of scouts.

However, in the face of the cavalry under the command of Ma Shuo, once these barbarian cavalry scouts appeared, they were basically wiped out. After losing nearly 100 people in a row, Wuyan Muchi had no choice but to give up and no longer send scouts.

It's just that in this way, the speed of the entire team has been greatly affected, and the morale of the entire team has also been greatly hit.

At the same time, Ma Shuo's skinning plan also began.

A cavalry of five hundred people, taking advantage of the speed advantage, quickly approached the barbarian team, and shot several waves of arrows towards the opponent without any scruples from a safe distance. The cavalry did not love war, and after a few waves of arrows, they immediately turned around and left, without hesitation at all.

In the face of the almost scoundrel attack of Ma Shuo's men and horses, Wuyan Muchi was really furious, but he had no choice, because two legs could not catch up with four legs, and the infantry could only be beaten in front of the cavalry. The advantage of numbers cannot be brought into play at all.

In Wuyan Muchi's opinion, these cavalry of the Great Qin people were like nasty flies, and after they came to harass them while they were not paying attention, they immediately slipped away. Not only that, the other party seems to be endless, this wave has just left, everyone has just relaxed and taken a breath, and another wave has appeared.

Wave after wave, Ma Shuo divided the more than 3,000 people under his command into seven groups, sometimes a group of people appeared, sometimes two groups of people attacked left and right, and sometimes three people appeared together, so that the other party could not care for each other.

After such an almost scoundrel operation, the barbarians under the command of Wuyan Muchi lost nearly two thousand. At this time, the number of barbarians of more than 20,000 people had shrunk greatly, and there were only 17,800. Most crucially, the morale of the barbarians has been severely damaged.

"Herald, camp in place, hedgehog pose!" Depressed, Wuyan Muchi had no choice but to order the team to stop advancing and camp in place for defense.
