Chapter 256: Misleading

After returning to the camp, Ma Yue's depressed mood was beyond words. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info defeat, it's just a human life in it, it's not okay to go on like this, and after four more defeats, maybe two or three thousand lives will be lost, Ma Yue has to think about it seriously, how to complete the task of fraud, and at the same time reduce casualties as much as possible. For the first time in his life, Ma Yue began to use his muscular brain.

After thinking about it in the middle of the night, Ma Yue finally came up with a way, whether it is a fighting soldier or a fighting formation, as long as he loses to the other party, even if he has completed the goal, in this case, why do you have to fight with the enemy, just fight the formation. It just so happened that yesterday's performance in Manila gave Ma Yue such an excuse, wouldn't the Xin barbarians be able to line up? Then fight with them! Even if they lose, they will not lose many soldiers and horses. Ma Yue is still quite confident in his own means of arranging the formation.

As soon as the sun climbed into the sky, the entire desert was rendered golden. Ma Yue led 5,000 men and horses, stepping on the golden desert, to the front of the Manila camp, and sent a small colonel to the front of the camp to challenge, saying that he would fight with Manila.

After receiving the news of Ma Yue's challenge, Manila smiled, and now he feels that Ma Yue is a brave and unscrupulous horseman, who lost a battle yesterday because he underestimated the ability of his subordinates, and today he can't wait to come to the battle. A typical mentality of getting up from where you fall. In fact, it's no wonder that Manila thinks like this, Ma Yue's performance is simply acting in his true colors, not to mention Manila, who doesn't know Ma Yue, is someone who knows a little about Ma Yue. It may not be possible to tell that Ma Yue is acting.

Also lit up 5,000 men, Manila left the camp with great confidence and came to Ma Yue's battle array.

Seeing Manila out of the camp, Ma Yue immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Manila, do you know the battle formation of the general? Dare to break the formation!" Ma Yue's battle formation is not a deep formation at all, but a relatively common fish scale formation in the army, although this formation is simple, but it can effectively play a role in protecting the soldiers, even if it is defeated. It won't cause too much damage to the sergeants in the formation. This is also an important reason why Ma Yue uses the fish scale array.

Manila after hearing Ma Yue's shout. pursed his lips disdainfully, and then said in a loud voice: "It's just a fish scale array, why is it difficult to break it? Commanded 5,000 Xinman's cavalry divided into four teams. Two horizontal and two vertical. At the very front of each cavalry team, there is a general as an arrow. Manila is also really amazing, even according to the way of the yoke array. used the charm of the Blade Array, which shows that he used the battle formation below the intermediate level very smoothly.

Ma Yue muttered in his heart: "The yoke array and the arrow formation? is a bit interesting, but that's all, if you don't have a military order, you will definitely be killed and blood will flow." "Come to think of it, Ma Yue can't do that, he will still be defeated. Commanding his subordinates to operate the fish scale array, Ma Yue concentrated on observing the formation of Manila's department, and his brain was running at high speed, he wanted to minimize the damage of this deceitful battle. For Ma Yue, it is much more difficult to achieve the set goal with wisdom than to achieve victory by force, but there is no other way at the moment, and he can only do it reluctantly, which is also one of Zhuge Liang's wishes to arrange Ma Yue as a pioneer general, hoping to hone Ma Yue.

The two men approached quickly, and then collided violently. As soon as they made contact, the fish scale array almost collapsed, after all, it was still a little difficult to fight against the combination of the yoke array and the arrow array with a single fish scale array. Ma Yue made adjustments in time, commanding the fish scale array to run at high speed, and the interlocking fish scale array immediately turned away, and hundreds of small fish scale arrays echoed each other, canceling the impact of the Xinman cavalry layer by layer, and forming a traction force, so that the Xinman cavalry who rushed into the formation immediately became sluggish and could not give full play to the advantages of the war horse.

"Huh, the fish scale array still has this kind of wonderful use? It seems that the Han people are more clever in the use of the battle array, but unfortunately, the one who leads the troops is a reckless man!" Manila whispered to himself in surprise after seeing the fish scale array change, and at the same time did not forget to greatly disparage Ma Yue. The whip in his hand shook rapidly, and Manila gave the order to gouge through the Xinman cavalry who rushed into the formation.

The five thousand Xin barbarian cavalry, who were sluggish in the fish scale formation by the traction, immediately turned their horses' heads after seeing the change in Manila's horsewhip, and then automatically disbanded the yoke array and transformed into a single arrow array, like four huge arrows, which bloomed in the center of the military formation and pierced in four different directions. With the speed of their horses, the four cavalry teams quickly broke through the Fish Scale Formation, and then re-formed a yoke formation and a sharp arrow formation on the periphery, and launched a charge towards the Fish Scale Formation.

In the chiseling just now, the Xinman cavalry caused a certain amount of chaos to the Ma Yue army, and now this chaos has not been completely eliminated, the battle formation has not had time to change, the Xin Barbarian cavalry has rushed back from the periphery again, and for the Ma Yue army, the defeat has been decided. Ma Yue swung the Moon Spear vigorously and shouted loudly: "Change the formation and avoid the Xin Barbarian Rush!" At the same time, Ma Yue jumped on his horse and rushed to one of the Xin Barbarian cavalry, creating conditions for his subordinates to avoid smoothly.

Under the sharpness of the Moon Spear, the heads of the two Xin Barbarian cavalrymen flew high, and the blood in their necks spurted out, and their lives were ruthlessly ended by Ma Yue. After killing the two Xin Barbarian cavalrymen, Ma Yue's marksmanship changed, changed to a horizontal slash, and the war horses carrying the two headless corpses were fiercely rotated out, and the two war horses flew out upside down and smashed into a group of Xin Barbarian cavalry who were charging, causing a burst of chaos.

Taking advantage of this brief chaos, Ma Yue no longer loved to fight, turned around and killed another Xinman cavalry, and with the speed of flying in the sand, in the gap in front of the Xinman's formation, he once again concocted the second Xinman's cavalry to contain the chisel penetration of the second Xinman. However, there is only so much Ma Yue can do.

The other two Xin Barbarian cavalry still attacked the fish scale array fiercely from two directions. In the face of the Xin barbarians' rush, these recruits were somewhat weak, but fortunately, more than a year of training prevented them from collapsing instantly, and in the face of the crisis, they made the response that the warriors should have, automatically switching formations, avoiding the blades of the Xin barbarians and stabbing out their spears at the same time, and counterattacking the Xin barbarians.

In the collision, most of the recruits avoided the Xin barbarians' rush to kill, only a few people were hit by the Xin barbarians' war horses and broke their bones, and because the weapon was longer than the Xin barbarians' sabers, while avoiding, some spears fiercely stabbed into the thin leather armor of the Xin barbarians, stabbing them off their horses, and the two sides failed to take advantage of this collision, and there were some casualties. Of course, if it weren't for Ma Yue's martial arts and bravery, who temporarily restrained the charging of the two Xinman cavalry, the final result would have been worse than now.

Seeing that most of his subordinates survived this collision, Ma Yue did not hesitate, and shouted loudly: "Manila's formation is really clever, retreat quickly!" Under Ma Yue's shout, Ma Yue's army quickly retreated, and Ma Yue alone held a gun to break off his subordinates. Taken by Ma Yue's bravery, Manila did not order the pursuit, and watched the defeat of the enemy army with a cold eye.

In this battle, the soldiers and horses on both sides did not suffer much loss, only in the last collision, more than 100 people were damaged.

Manila unceremoniously believes that this battle is naturally another small victory for its side. After smiling and instructing his men to clean up the battlefield and collect the weapons left behind by the enemy and the iron armor of the dead sergeants, Manila turned and returned to the camp with the joy of victory.

In the next two days, Ma Yue racked his brains and painstakingly thought about the battle plan, not only to ensure that Manila would take it for granted that the Xin barbarians had won, but also to ensure that his subordinates' recruits would not suffer too much damage. In this process, Ma Yue's resistance to fraud and defeat from the beginning has gradually changed, and now he has no intention of complaining, and everything he thinks in his heart is from the perspective of reducing the battle losses of recruits as much as possible. Through these two days of meditation, Ma Yue realized that it is not easy to be a commander, before he only knew how to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and would not think about other problems at all, but now, Ma Yue understood a truth, personal martial arts and bravery, far less important than the unity of the whole army, it is also at this moment, Ma Yue understood the painstaking efforts of Zhuge Liang to send himself, Zhuge Liang is to build himself into a commander.

With this insight, Ma Yue formulated a battle plan and became more refined. The next three fraudulent defeats, each of which was carefully planned by Ma Yue, minimized the battle damage, and did not even have much negative impact on morale, and also made Manila fail to see any clues, thinking that Ma Yue was really defeated again and again. It's just that in the process, Ma Yue's image in Manila's eyes has become more reckless. In this regard, not to mention that Ma Yue didn't know, even if he knew, with his mentality at the moment, he would only laugh it off, which shows that his performance was quite successful and had completely misled Manila.
