Ma Teng could no longer control his composure and was eager to command the soldiers to retreat. At this time, they were heavily surrounded by Euphorbia warriors. He was suddenly frightened. Could it be that the young-looking general had set a trap? Otherwise,
Why do these soldiers become more and more powerful instead of being able to easily break into the camp at first?
"Retreat!" Ma Teng roared with red eyes. This was probably the first time the Xiliang Army had issued such an order for many years. He also had the pride of belonging to the army in his heart, but when faced with Pao Ze being ruthlessly killed, he could no longer
I couldn't bear it anymore.
Ma Teng led more than a hundred cavalrymen to break out of the siege desperately. Each of the cavalrymen was more or less injured. It can be seen that the battlefield was tragic during the impact, and corpses were scattered on the battlefield.
The gloomy expression on his open-jawed face gradually turned gentle. He curved his mouth and sneered, "The Xiliang Army, which is famous all over the world, is nothing but mediocre."
"Victory?" Cao Cao saw in disbelief that the Xiliang army fled in a panic, with only a hundred cavalrymen left out of the five hundred. On the other hand, the Jizhou army only paid a price of more than three hundred men. This can be said to be an extraordinary feat in the battle between infantry and cavalry.
It is a complete victory. Infantry is no better than cavalry. One fights on very familiar ground, and the other fights on horseback. No matter how high the technology is, it cannot be as flexible as infantry. Infantry is also easier to train. Infantry and cavalry
A one to one consumption can definitely be called a great victory.
The allied forces made earth-shattering roars. From the Euphorbia soldiers, they felt that their own side was not that weak. What could the cavalry do? They were defeated in the hands of the infantry.
"I am ashamed of my humble position, and I am willing to accept military punishment!" Ma Teng said with his fists clasped.
Guo Bang helped Ma Teng up and said, "General Ma, don't blame yourself too much. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. Go back and rest."
Ma Teng let out a long sigh and said goodbye. His steps were a little staggering, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. This time he commanded the cavalry to fight with the opponent. In any case, he lost troops and generals. Years of hard work were in vain because of carelessness.
I wonder what my status in the military will be like in the future.
"Military advisor, I didn't expect there to be such an army among the princes!" Guo Si sighed.
For three days in a row, the princes outside the pass were uncharacteristic of themselves and took the initiative to challenge the defenders inside the pass. They knew that it was impossible to break through Xiongguan in a short time, so the princes would seize the opportunity to raise their morale to the highest level.
"Do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy? Now the princes' troops are showing off their power outside the city." Guo Si said in a low voice.
The generals in the tent looked at each other in confusion. The cavalry commanded by Ma Teng were all elites in the army. They had not benefited from the Euphorbia soldiers. If it were them, the situation would not be much better. They did not want to be like Ma Teng and put his men down.
All the sons and daughters were lost. If a military general wants to continue to gain military exploits, he not only relies on his personal martial arts, but also on the soldiers under his command. Without their efforts, how would the military exploits of the general come? Would it be possible for a very powerful general to attack the opponent?
Thousands of troops?
After a long silence, Li Shun stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "I'm willing to give it a try."
Guo Jia looked happy. He only thought about using cavalry to defeat the princes, and did not think about infantry. This was also a flaw of the generals of the Xiliang Army. They tended to forget about infantry and always believed that cavalry was the real leading force on the battlefield.
Guo Si turned his gaze to Guo Jia, saw him nodding slightly, and said: "Okay, General Li has this intention, which is a blessing to our army. If we can't win, there is no need to force it."
"I would like to issue a military order. If I can't win, I will be beheaded." Li Shun said firmly.
After hearing Li Shun's words, the generals in the tent all showed surprise. Everyone in the tent witnessed the power of the army of the princes outside the pass. They did not expect that Li Shun would be so confident. There was no such thing as childishness in the army, so he issued a military order regardless of the situation.
Who are you? As long as you don't complete it, you will be killed. There is no room for accommodation.
The door slowly opened, and eight hundred infantrymen walked out of Hangu Pass under the leadership of Li Shun. Except for the low footsteps, there was no other chaotic sound. Silence, eerie silence. Li Shun, wearing a general's armor, walked among the soldiers.
, he did not ride a war horse with his jaw open. In his opinion, such an approach was stupid. Showing off his power would only become the target of archers. He kept a low profile and could give the enemy a fatal blow at any time. For the eight hundred people trapped in the camp around him,
Soldiers, Li Shun has full confidence and long-term training. Li Shun commands this team like an arm. He does not need slogans or soul-stirring encouragement. All he has to do is to defeat the enemies in front of him and trample them all under his feet.
.
What's the problem with heavy armored infantry? They will only become a burden.
Zhang Jiao put away his proud look. From this team, he felt an unusual aura, extremely dangerous. Only the soldiers of his own team were highly disciplined, so they could maintain a stable formation and effectively kill the enemy under the charge of cavalry.
However, there has been no chaos in the trapped camp led by Li Shun since its emergence. The pace of the eight hundred people seems to be glued together, obeying the orders issued by the general. What is even more frightening is that Zhang Jaw did not find the opponent's general.
Such a situation is rare on the battlefield.
Such a team is enough to attract anyone's attention. Although they are silent, they have extremely powerful explosive power. Once they take action, there will be a bloody storm. What is even more frightening is that among this cavalry, there are intertwined arms, some wearing heavy armor, and even
Heavy infantrymen whose faces were wrapped in armor, holding shining shields in their hands, as well as soldiers holding swords and axes, as well as archers and spearmen, this combination was the first time Zhang Jaw had seen in the army, commanding such an army.
What kind of person should the general of the team be?
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly. The more arms there are, the harder it is to command. To seize the opportunity, the requirements for generals are extremely strict. The Euphorbia soldiers are a pure unit with unified operations. Even if the soldiers are flexible, they cannot regard the Euphorbia soldiers as soldiers.
The archer warrior opened his jaw and asked himself that he could not arrange different types of troops to fight on the battlefield.
"Trapped in the camp, kill!" Li Shun in the middle roared with a solemn expression.
"Kill!" The pace of the eight hundred people started to move, and it quickly formed a huge square formation. In front of the heavy infantry were the spearmen, and then the axemen and archers. In just a moment, the entire team was completed.
Change of formation.
He opened his jaw with a solemn expression. When facing the cavalry, he had never been under such great pressure. Even from Ju Yi's first deceased soldier, he had never felt such a strong dangerous aura. Completing the formation in an instant was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
, I had heard before that the Xiliang army was trapped in the camp and was invincible, but then one team did not appear and gradually faded out of people's sight. It was expected that the team in front of them was trapped in the camp.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Zhang Jia shouted.
After the sound of slightly messy footsteps, the halberds in the hands of the Euphorbia warriors were facing the enemy camp. They were protected by armor. They were not worried about how much damage the opponent's bows and arrows would cause.
"Bow and arrow!" Li Shun ordered in a deep voice.
Two hundred archers quickly loaded their bows with arrows and shot out. The whole process was neat and uniform. It is hard to imagine that Li Shun just gave an order and the soldiers could have such a tacit understanding.
A burst of arrows caused the death of more than thirty Euphorbia warriors. His eyes suddenly tightened as he opened his jaw. What kind of archer was this? Each arrow was directed towards the soldier's face, and his accuracy was extremely high.
"Shield Soldier!" Li Shun's firm and deep voice came.
The firm footsteps of eight hundred people gathered together, like a note of urgency, and all the Euphorbia soldiers also felt the oppression on the battlefield.
Among the central army, Yuan Shao hurried to the battlefield after hearing the soldiers' report. For several days, the Xiliang army did not dare to leave the city to fight. Now that they have rushed to send troops, there must be something wrong.
Seeing that the opponent was just a group of infantry, Yuan Shao put down his high-spirited heart. Among the infantry, the Euphorbia Soldiers seemed to have never encountered an opponent. They could be called the king of Yuan's infantry troops, tied with the Xiandenshishi.
"Leader, I'm afraid this infantry is not simple. Look at their flag, it's a trap." Li Ru said.
"Oh, how about being trapped in the camp?" Yuan Shao's tone seemed less serious than expected.
"The trapped camp is an army initially formed by Jia Rong. He selects the best infantrymen and equips them with the best equipment. He is led by Li Shun, the general of the Xiliang Army. There is a tacit understanding between the soldiers. Two people can cooperate, and three people can cooperate with each other.
It can also be said that each small square formation is composed of eight people, with extremely strong combat effectiveness. He is undoubtedly the strongest infantry among the Xiliang Army. Li Shun is a calm man and won the trust of Jia Rong, who was entrusted with the duty of guarding Hangu Pass.
, when we were at Hulao Pass, the trapped camp took action, but after so many years, you must have forgotten it." Li Ru explained.
"The strongest one in the Xiliang army?" Yuan Shao curled his lips disdainfully, "The Euphorbia soldiers are also the strongest in the Jizhou army. Comparing the two, I don't find anything extraordinary about this team. Wenyou and let's look at the Euphorbia soldiers.
How to defeat the enemy."
Having seen too many scenes of Euphorbia warriors defeating their opponents, Yuan Shao had a firm trust in Euphorbia warriors and did not take Li Ru's words too seriously. In his opinion, the main reason why the Xiliang army has been able to dominate Liangzhou for many years is because
The cavalry was invincible. Even the most elite cavalry was defeated, let alone the infantry in front of them.
The heavy infantry stepped forward resolutely, and opened their jaws not to be outdone, and ordered the Euphorbia soldiers to step forward to fight. The trapped camp was not weak, and the Euphorbia soldiers had never had any opponents.
The Euphorbia warriors in the front row were frustrated to find that the Euphorbia soldiers in their hands could not break through the opponent's shield soldiers. With impeccable defenses, it seemed that the next move of the Euphorbia warriors was under the control of these shield soldiers. The shields
Can always resist accurately.
The weapon in the hands of the Euphorbia is long, and on the battlefield, every inch is longer and stronger. Although it blocks the attack, the shield soldiers cannot do anything to the Euphorbia for a while, and once they are trapped in the camp and get close, it will be fatal and lose
Without the advantages of weapons, a group of soldiers wrapped in armor can only become lambs.
Another rain of arrows passed by, taking away the lives of more than thirty Euphorbia warriors. At this moment, the archers became the masters of harvesting lives on the battlefield, constantly shooting out arrows. They were protected by shield soldiers in front of them.
Worried about their lives, they were able to trust Pao Ze with their backs on the battlefield.
