Fortunately, although Ma Chao is brave, the enemy opposite him is not a nP who will not change his moves.

According to the plan formulated before the war, he would personally lead the main force of the cavalry and retreat after the infantry phalanx, luring Ma Chao's main force of the cavalry out of touch with the infantry and consume a lot of physical strength and sharpness before reinforcements enter the field.

Moreover, on the southwest side of the battlefield, in the valley river valley at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, there are Qiang cavalry mainly composed of local moth blockages, lying ambushed at the entrance of the valley. As long as Ma Chao chases Wu Xi's infantry and chases them close to the valley, the moth blockages barbarian king will suddenly attack from the left and attack Ma Chao's left wing.

In addition, Guo Si's reinforcements will not enter from the front battlefield. He will circumnavigate slightly to the right wing, which is also to prevent Wu Xi from falling completely and turning around without courage. When Guo Si's troops will not be defeated by Wu Xi's defeated soldiers and dispersed their own formation.

In this arrangement, there was originally a vicious plan from Jia Xu: he hoped that even if Wu Xi's combat effectiveness was not good, at least when he was forced to the edge of the valley by Ma Chao, if he saw Guo Si and the E-Chassai Barbarian King fighting hard in front of the left and right sides, he could at least boost morale and "put it to death and live" and turn around and fight back against Ma Chao.

Unfortunately, all of this was completely defeated by Ma Chao at a speed that was far beyond expectations, and he had to change his moves in the face of the battle.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and observed the battle situation in the distance, and listened to the description of the scout who reported the details of the front line, and immediately made a quick decision to persuade Guo Si:

"General of the Cavalry, hurry up! Don't wait until Wu Xi is defeated and we will charge from the right wing immediately and try to get a response immediately! Let the moth cover the king, don't hide in the Qilian Valley. Anyway, he is also a cavalry, and it's nothing to take the initiative to run forward and run more than ten miles. As soon as possible, we can join forces with the Qiang cavalry who lure the enemy and show weakness. We can't be defeated by Ma Chao again!"

Originally, Wu Xi wanted to retreat for about fifteen miles, to distance Ma Chao and Ma Dai, and to consume Ma Chao for a while. Now, it would be fine if he only opened five or six miles away.

Guo Si quickly notified the Monkey King with the banner, and then the two of them pressed up from the flanks almost at the same time.

...

On the front battlefield, Ma Chao covered up and killed Wu Ximen who was almost collapsed, and lasted for half a stick of incense for a pleasant time.

At the beginning of the array stalemate, Wu Xi's casualties were not very large. Only more than a thousand casualties were killed and killed under the erosion of Ma Chao's car suspension array.

However, as morale collapsed, the battlefield form turned into a massacre of chasing the north. During the subsequent collapse, those who were slashed, trampled and killed, and there were as many as four or five thousand people in half an incense stick. It can be seen that the most severe part of the infantry was defeated by the cavalry. The back stabbing after the collapse was always the back stab that could not escape even if they wanted to run away.

However, based on conscience, Wu Xi's desperate resistance to this stage has indeed caused some losses to Ma Chao. From this perspective, Wu Xi cannot be considered a waste of money.

Before the collapse at the beginning, the dense formation of the Beryllium Soldiers and Spearmen really caused more than 200 cavalry deaths to the iron cavalry that Ma Chao's army hit the straight and caused more than 200 cavalry deaths. After all, it was Ma Chao's first time using a car suspension formation. He had only been exploring during training and had never fought in practice.

Many cavalry who rushed to the front of the formation could not hold back their horses, and would definitely crash into the crowd and be trapped. More than 80% of Ma Chao's army's deaths were caused by rushing to the formation and being surrounded. Moreover, if they fell off the horse and fell into the crowd, it would be useless even if they were wearing iron armor. The enemy could smash him to death by smashing him.

Except for the dead who were stabbed by guns and spears, the other losses of Ma Chaojun were mostly mainly caused by minor injuries in the rushing and rushing stages, and were killed by Guo Si's crossbows.

However, the soldiers were wearing tight armor, so people could not shoot to death. However, Liu Bei's camp has not yet created enough horse armor, and the area of ​​the horse was bombed was large, so many war horses were shot to death and injured.

As for many cavalrymen, they were killed and injured by horses. They fell off a horse while wearing iron armor. The damage was no less than that of driving a car that was thirty or forty yards and jumped into a car and injured, and had broken tendons and broken bones for several months. It was normal to lie down for several months, but they could not die.

In total, in the battle with Wu Xi, more than 280 cavalry were killed in the battle, five or six hundred cavalry were injured, and nearly a thousand horses were killed and injured. In exchange for the cumulative results of more than 5,000 beheadings. Considering that many of Guo Si's infantry were soldiers of Xiliang for a long battle, they were not mixed fish, so this was already very good.

Finally, Guo Si and Ezha Chasai Qiang King also successfully responded to Wu Xi after Wu Xi was fled and chased him seven or eight miles away.

Guo Si was not a ruthless man who was not good at his brain. During the response, he did not forget to accompany Jia Xu to incorporate some defeated officers, and tried his best to concisely ask about the situation ahead, how could Ma Chao achieve such a quick decisive victory.

Guo Si was lucky. He just delayed a few minutes and roughly understood several key points: First, there were a lot of consumable, single-use super long cavalry rifles and javelins in Ma Chao's army. Secondly, Ma Chao also designed a new formation and new cavalry tactics for this new equipment configuration.

Weapons themselves are not the key, and the quality of those weapons is not good, but after being matched with the new style of play, one plus one is far greater than two.

After hearing it clearly, Jia Xu finally gave Guo Si a battlefield suggestion:

"Since this is the case, our army must take the opportunity to attack, and not let Wu Xi and his other sacrifice be wasted. As they said, each of the Ma Chao cavalrymen can carry five spears, two spears, and three javelins on their backs, which are quickly lost.

Now Wu Xi has at least consumed all the extra equipment Ma Chao brought. We took the opportunity to charge, and Ma Chao would not be able to exert the combat power of these new equipment. If Ma Chao returned to the city and held on, waiting for the next batch of supplies to be transported from the rear and supply the cavalry, we would probably have a worse loss! Our cavalry is definitely not as long as Ma Chao's consumable wooden gun!

Moreover, Ma Chao is in a dilemma now. If he withdraws his troops immediately, he will definitely not be able to kill more of the collapsed Wu Xi infantry. If he does not withdraw his troops, he will have to fight us hard without supplies. We will chase the winning troops with defeated soldiers, which will make him reluctant to give up!"

Until this moment, Jia Xu only judged that "Liu Bei's camp was so rich that he began to engage in cavalry weapons with higher combat efficiency but greater loss", but he still did not judge the source of this weapon.

This cannot be blamed on Jia Xu's IQ, after all, he is already very limiting. As for the advanced productivity of "the pedal lathe of a wooden stick", it is an existence beyond Jia Xu's imagination and touches his blind spots in knowledge.

So Jia Xu would at best feel that "these consumptions were supplies transported by Liu Bei's army from the rear."

He forgot that Ma Chao was only eighteen years old when he fought with him last time, and now he is twenty years old, and he is at the age of rapid growth in martial arts and physical strength. Guo Si is nearly 40 years old. Although he is still in his prime, his martial arts experience is much richer than Ma Chao, and his physical strength is only worse every year.

I was able to tie the game two years ago, but now I have only tried less than twenty moves and have gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Guo Si gradually calmed down and realized that Bai Qi was too unwise. After a fake move, he ordered his personal soldiers around him to fight to the death. He pulled himself back and avoided Ma Chao's single-handed challenge.

However, this troubles really hit the morale of Guo Si's cavalry.

Ma Chao blocked the surrounding guards with a long spear, and felt that both fists could not match four hands. He used anger to fight with his right hand, and pulled out his sword with his left hand. He slashed the gun with a spear and killed five or six Guo Si's guards in a row before killing the surrounding enemy, but Guo Si was already fleeing far away and unable to catch up.

Fortunately, the rider holding Guo Si's big flag was unhappy. Ma Chao was angry and jumped into the horse and raised his gun, stabbed the flag bearer to death with one shot, and cut off the flag, which further hit Guo Si's morale.

The two armies fought for a while, and Guo Si's army gradually retreated, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. After the war, in this bloody cavalry hedge, Ma Chao's army once again suffered more than 1,500 casualties, and as many as six or seven hundred cavalry, the loss of war horses was greater than that of people.

Guo Si's army died in battle and reached 2,000, which was three times the number of Ma Chao's army killed in battle, but only more than 1,000 were injured, which was not much different from the number of injured people of Ma Chao's army. It is obvious that Guo Si's army lost because it did not popularize the forging of steel breastplate. Anyone who was stabbed by a rifle was almost seriously injured and killed, and there was almost no need to rescue him.

However, the greater chain reaction brought by Guo Si's retreat was that Ma Chao was able to finally bite the defeated infantry soldiers of Wu Xi who had just escaped to the Gushui River. This was a time short of Wu Xi's failure to reorganize the defeated infantry formation. It only allowed a considerable number of soldiers to scatter and escape further and further, making Ma Chao more laborious when chasing him. But if you want to organize a new effective resistance, you can't even think about it.

On the other hand, the Qiang King on the left wing of the battlefield was also attacked by Ma Chao because his retreat was slower than Guo Si.

After Ma Chao made his move, he immediately turned his spear head and rushed towards the Qiang cavalry who had only leather armor and no iron armor at all. The Qiang King of the Moths blocked the tribe's warriors personally led the bloody battle with Ma Chao.

However, his troops were only half of Ma Chao's, and he soon collapsed. He even scored more than five times the killing and exchange ratio. The short and tragic battle between the two sides lasted only two cups of tea. The moth blocked people and left more than a thousand corpses. Even the tribe's barbarian king was stabbed to death by Ma Chao in a melee, and then all the wind swept the clouds back to the Qilian Valley. Ma Chao's army was killed and injured by only two hundred people.

If the moth blocked part hadn't been riding on horses and chasing them, and there were better horseless fish beside him waiting for Ma Chao to harvest, he wouldn't have let the moth block the cavalry so easily.

After clearing all the obstruction cavalry, Ma Chao rushed to the edge of the valley and killed all the remaining soldiers of Wu Xi who had not had time to jump into the river and swim and escape. With almost no casualties, he took more than a thousand infantry's heads, and forced the last two or three thousand enemy soldiers who had not crossed the river to kneel down and surrender directly.

Including the final gains, the infantry troops sent by Guo Si today lost at least tens of thousands of people. The losses of other cavalry units were two to three times that of Ma Chao's army, which was not bad.

The only thing they can be relieved is that the horse consumption of both sides is not as disparate as the personnel consumption. After a series of bloody battles, the number of war horses that Ma Chao can use has indeed dropped sharply.

Even if there are two or three thousand cavalrymen who are seriously injured, they can go back to recuperate. If there is no large-scale fracture, it is estimated that they will be able to return to the battlefield in just a month. There are many fractures, and those who are seriously injured by vomiting blood and breaking their ribs may have to lie in nearly three months.

However, the losses of war horses are real and permanent losses, so the wounded soldiers cannot participate in the long-distance pursuit battle after they heal. In a short period of time, Li Su would not be able to generate more war horse supplies for Ma Chao from the rear.

...

Both sides withdrew their troops back to the city. After Ma Chao counted all the losses of his side, Ma Chao looked at the list and sighed and regretted: "I am still reckless. Although I am so happy to kill, I focused on annihilation and beat the enemy infantry led by Wu Xi. However, the potential for subsequent raids was too weak.

This is a major benefit for taking Guzang County and Wuwei County. After all, the enemy has less vitality to defend the city. But looking at the long run, Guo Si retreated step by step to Zhangye and Jiuquan, and our pursuit power has been greatly weakened. I don’t know how long Guo Si plans to stay in Guzang for a long time, and whether he has waver and wants to withdraw.

I had the opportunity to withdraw my troops today after just eliminating Wu Xi’s first 5,000-man team, and then revisited another wave of super-long cavalry. Next time I hedge against the main force of Guo Si’s cavalry. That would definitely look better than the exchange."

After summarizing it, Ma Chao was not a tangled person and soon came out of his unhappiness. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and everyone had a brain that was so hot that they could not stop the car. No one could be as calm as God's perspective.
