It's time for the Changzhu soldiers to play!

After the barbarians retreated, the leader finally realized the problem. After learning the hard way, they began to get serious and carefully organized the messy team.

According to the types of weapons available, the tribes were generally grouped into categories.

In order to reduce the damage of the Qin trap, this time the barbarian leaders put the shielded subordinates at the forefront.

Originally, it was also suggested that cavalry should be used to charge into battle. However, among the barbarians who came this time, the number of cavalry was not very large.

Although there were about six or seven thousand horses in the team, most of them were prepared to carry supplies. What can really be used in combat does not exceed the number of a thousand.

These cavalry are treasures in the hands of various barbarian leaders, and they will not easily take them out as consumables to destroy traps.

Yes, it's like cannon fodder to destroy traps. How could expensive cavalry be used as cannon fodder?

In fact, the trap has been almost destroyed, so this time the barbarians did not encounter any blows on the way forward, and basically lost nothing.

Such a situation made those cautious barbarians put down their hanging hearts. It's just that when they crossed the trap area and finally saw the Qin soldiers, they were immediately blindfolded by the weapons in the opponent's hands.

When they saw clearly what the other party was holding, they couldn't help laughing, these Qin people were really miserable, they didn't even have a decent weapon, they could only use bamboo.

Such Qin people still want to stop us?

But soon, the truth gave them a loud mouth. They suddenly found that there was still a long squeaky bamboo at the top, which actually made them feel embarrassed that they couldn't do it.

That thing is too long, I can't reach the other party at all, and the branches and forks at the top are even more damaged, and if you are not careful, your face will be stabbed by the other party.

The infantry under Ma Shuo's command would not be polite to the other party, and when they saw that the long bamboo pole could actually cause damage to the other party, they all became confident.

When they were not in actual combat, these soldiers were somewhat suspicious of using bamboo as a weapon. But due to the constraints, they had to do it, so when they carried a long bamboo to meet the enemy, they were apprehensive at first.

Now, facts speak louder than words, and the barbarians who were wounded and retreated in embarrassment allowed these soldiers to find enough confidence in victory.

Kill!

Kill!

The cooperation between peers is also becoming more and more tacit.

Archers, bamboo soldiers, pikemen, sword soldiers, shield bearers. Each performs its own duties, divides labor and cooperates, and each plays its own role.

The tacit understanding between the soldiers under Ma Shuo's Guild continued to increase, and the losses of those barbarians also increased.

Of course, there were some unlucky ones on the infantry side, who were unfortunately shot by the opponent's bow and arrow and fell.

But, in general, it was the barbarians who suffered more on their side.

The two sides fought each other for nearly two hours. The barbarians advanced the infantry line less than fifty meters at Xiaolongkou, but lost nearly three thousand men.

Seeing that it was getting late and unable to break through the Qin people's defensive line, the leaders of the barbarians had no choice but to temporarily withdraw their troops.

With the sound of a hurried gong, the barbarian ranks retreated like a tide in a haphazard manner, leaving behind a field of corpses.

Those who were slightly injured were taken away by the barbarians, and those who were seriously injured were directly abandoned in the pile of dead.

When cleaning the battlefield, Ma Shuo directly asked the soldiers to mend the severely wounded barbarians, ending their suffering.

Then, all the barbarian corpses were gathered together and burned to ashes in a fire.

In this blockade, the infantry on Ma Shuo's side only lost more than 100 people, and most of them were injured, and less than 20 people were really shot and lost their lives.

The dead soldiers, Ma Shuo arranged for someone to deal with them separately to ensure that they were buried in peace. You must not treat your own people as you would an enemy.

For almost two hours, several thousand units of the infantry completed a rotation, that is, each front team experienced a real battle.

Therefore, from a practical point of view, this first day of engagement was like training infantry.

The effect of the training is naturally very obvious, and after seeing the blood, the tacit understanding between each of the top 1,000 teams has improved a lot.

At night, Ma Shuo did not take it lightly, and when he asked some of the men and horses to hurry up and sleep, he also arranged for three thousand troops to be on duty on the slopes on both sides and on the new defensive line in front of them, so as to prevent the barbarians from sneaking through at night.

Not to mention, Ma Shuo really guessed it.

In the middle of the night, a group of barbarians really quietly touched in. Obviously, the time chosen by the barbarians was deliberate, because the time of the third watch in the middle of the night is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy.

It's just that the barbarians underestimated the sergeants under Ma Shuo's command, and underestimated the hidden guards in the dark.

Just in case, Ma Shuo made two preparations. In addition to the three thousand-strong teams on duty, there is also a team of hidden guards lurking in the shadows.

As soon as the barbarian night raider moved, the hidden guards discovered it, and immediately, the information came back.

Whoosh!

When the barbarians came within range of the attack, the archers on the hillside were the first to strike.

Although it was not very clear at night, there were still many barbarians who were shot when it was covered in a large area.

The screams of those who were shot immediately stopped the barbarians behind them.

"Withdraw!"

The secret commander of the barbarians decisively gave the order to retreat, because they knew very well in their hearts that since the other party had discovered it, it meant that the other party had already prepared.

In this case, the so-called sneak attack is meaningless. In order to avoid the desired losses, the withdrawal of troops is the wisest choice.

This night, for the rest of the year, the barbarians did not choose to continue the sneak attack.

Soon, a new day begins.

To everyone's surprise, the barbarians did not attack immediately the next day, but sent men to the mountains on both sides to cut down trees.

The barbarian's actions were quickly reported by the hidden guards. At the same time, the hidden guard also brought news of the cavalry, which was fully in place.

The cavalry is in place, which is good news. However, the barbarians' massive action of cutting down trees made Ma Shuo aware that something was wrong.

Soon, the hidden guard brought new information.

When the barbarians cut down the tree, it turned into a long tree with branches at each end.

Oops, the barbarians are imitating the long bamboo soldiers.

This group of cunning guys didn't expect them to find a way to crack the Long Bamboo Soldiers so quickly.

It is obviously a very good way to deal with long bamboo with giant trees. Although each giant tree needs a dozen people to hold, there is no shortage of barbarians.

"Tell the commanders, prepare to take the initiative!"

Ma Shuo decisively ordered, adjusted the strategy, and turned the passive into the active.
