Chapter 958: The Battle (Second Update)

"Uncle, can you tell me what a crime is it to leave your post without permission?" Ma Chao said to Ma Kuang word by word.

In an instant, Ma Kuang seemed to be staring at by a tiger. The murderous aura that made people feel cold and the naked look made Ma Kuang know clearly that if he didn't give a reason.

The nephew in front of him would never care about the relationship between uncle and nephew, and he was defeated with one blow.

Ma Kuang's expression changed slightly, and his steady heart just now suddenly became panicked. But Ma Kuang had seen the world after all, so he soon calmed down.

He raised his fist to Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, don't be angry, listen to me first."

As he spoke, Ma Kuang turned the painful memories of fighting the Chu army he saw into language and said to Ma Chao one by one.

Finally, Ma Kuang apologized and said, "That's how it is. Please punish the young marquis."

Ma Kuang knew clearly that Ma Chao's personality and temper were hard to avoid being impatient, but his true nature was true. If he was a quibbling, he would not end up well.

On the contrary, if you ask for punishment calmly, you might be able to go out and talk.

Sure enough, as Ma Kuang wrote down the situation of the Chu army one by one, explaining the ferocity of the Chu army, and then voluntarily apologized, Ma Chao's face had a lot of murderous intent.

Finally, he resisted the urge to kill people in his heart, nodded and said, "It is time to fight, and kill the general is not good for his morale. It is better to return to Xianyang to ask his father to decide on the matter of uncle after defeating the Chu army."

"But before again, I will give my uncle a chance to make meritorious service." As he said that, Ma Chao turned his head and said to a deputy general next to him: "Go and transfer a thousand cavalry and return to General Ma Kuang."

"Piaotian's literature has been opened up. To make meritorious in deeds, it must be to make meritorious in deeds.

Isn’t cavalry dispatched to deal with the Chu army’s infantry?

After Ma Kuang thanked Ma Chao, he ordered the defeated army in Mei County behind him to return to Xianyang by himself. He immediately set off to the cavalry army and commanded a thousand cavalry.

Unlike Ma Kuang's joy, Cao Hong frowned and said, "Although the cavalry is strong, if the Chu army hides in Ji County, it will be difficult. Can't we lead our troops to attack the city?"

"You can't return empty-handed even if you come. Even if a hundred thousand troops come over, show off your might and increase your morale. In addition, I heard that there are many brave and good warriors in the Chu army. If we scold in front of the formation, we might even lure one or two generals out to fight and further swell the morale of the Chu army." Ma Chao said.

"That's right." Cao Hong was impatient. He just persuaded him, but because he was older and a little more stable. He was still impulsive and brave in his bones.

Therefore, after hearing Ma Chao's words, he immediately did not object. Because he also wanted to spend time with the Chu army.

Although the Chu army was so majestic and had countless frictions with the Wei State, Cao Hong was in the northwest and had no chance with the Chu army.

He was also very dissatisfied with the reputation of the Chu army, and it was even more because Cao Ren and Cao Chun brothers were not in the Chu army's formation, which made Cao Hong quite unhappy.

This is Cao Hong’s current psychology.

The two of them have similar temperaments, are both brave and good at fighting, and discuss with each other, and they hit it off immediately. They immediately led their troops to the south, showing off their power with a team of 100,000 cavalrymen.

However, although Ma Chao and Cao Hong just wanted to show off their power, they were also very cautious and sent a considerable number of spies to radiate out to the south in a fan shape.

Can find out information ten miles away.

……………………………………

The army has been waiting for nearly two hours in the south, where Zhang Fei and Chen Da lined up.

Zhang Fei and Chen Da were still riding horses under the coach's flag.

"Sometimes, it's very painful to wait for the rabbit." Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said to Chen Da.

"It's really boring." Chen Da nodded and said.

Although we know that a large army may come back, it may not be necessary whether to come or not. What if the other general commander met Ma Kuang and learned that Ji County had lost its territory and withdrew its troops?

Waiting is not boring. Once you know that the other party is coming regularly, Zhang Fei and Chen Da will definitely remain excited until the army arrives. But waiting for an army that may fail to make an appointment will seem boring.

At this moment, a few fast horses galloped in front of them.

"General, general, discover the enemy spy." The knight in the lead shouted.

"Blow the trumpet immediately, take back all the spies, line up to meet the enemy." Zhang Fei was excited and then shouted.

"No." A deputy general shouted, took out the rhino horn from his waist, put it in his mouth and started playing.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo." The short and high-pitched voice seemed very special.

With this blessing of facing the enemy, the soldiers swept away the silence just now and took action one after another. The crossbowmen raised the crossbows, and the spearmen placed in front began to point the spear forward at a 50-degree angle to the front to fight against the cavalry.

Behind them are there are crossbow beds, which are lined up in a row and are arranged between the two soldiers to ensure that they will not harm their own soldiers.

At this moment, the auxiliary soldiers responsible for shooting out the huge arrows in the crossbow bed were also ready, staring at the front with bright eyes.

Meanwhile, the North.

Ma Chao also discovered the spy.

"Stop." Ma Chao saw several fast horses approaching in front of him, immediately raised his hand and ordered.

A total of 100,000 cavalry galloping rapidly stopped immediately with Ma Chao's order, and was very well-trained.

"Shaohou, just now we discovered that there were activities of Chu soldiers in front of us. After continuing to go deeper, we discovered a large army in the south."

Spy reports.

"Da Jun? What's the situation?" Cao Hong said in surprise.

"It is an army of about 30,000 people, all of which are infantrymen. The flag is "Chu", and the flag is not clearly seen. The formation is a strange reverse charge formation."

The spy showed some confusion and said.

"Thirty thousand infantry? Inverted charge type?" Cao Hong's face was full of confusion. The 30,000 infantry was placed on the road, which was very stupid. Didn't Chu Emperor Kou Feng know that Yong Liang had many cavalry?

On the plain, what will happen if infantrymen encounter cavalry? There have been countless historical lessons that have told the generals of command. Or, the generals of the infantry in the south are all people with extremely low IQ?

There is also an inverted charge formation. The triangle formation has many names, and the charge formation is one of them. Therefore, Cao Hong is very familiar with it.

Cao Hong could also imagine the charge formation placed upside down.

That is to point the finger behind and leave it behind to the enemy. Infantry, the invader is in the form of charge. Except for the commander of the southern army, a person with a low IQ, Cao Hong really finds it difficult to describe it.

But there is another point that things are abnormal and there must be strangeness, because the other party is Chu State, with a large number of civil and military officials and generals. I have heard of famous generals, such as Pang Tong, Xu Shu, the generals of the left and right military commanders. The five generals in front, back, left and right, and some other generals are all very outstanding.

I have never heard of such a low-powered general.

Therefore, Cao Hong felt something was wrong, it might be a trap or something.

However, Cao Hong looked back at the 100,000 cavalry behind him, and his confidence rose slowly. If the 100,000 cavalry still couldn't deal with the 30,000 infantrymen, that would be a joke.

"Meng Qi? What do you think?" Although Cao Hong was ambitious, the coach was Ma Chao after all, so he turned around and looked at Ma Chao.

"I don't know what the hell is going on, but if we are afraid of our 100,000 army, then where will the name of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry be placed?"

Ma Chao sneered and said.

But he was the same as Cao Hong. He knew that it might be a bit tricky, but he was self-reliant and did not take it seriously. He was a 100,000 Iron Cavalry.

A young man with a strong spirit and a young man in his forties. He was also a fierce general who charged forward. After discussing for a while, he thought he could use one sentence.

In the face of strength, any conspiracy is a bluff. So, he continued to order the army to move forward without hesitation.

"Use the charge formation to break through the Chu army ahead and kill." Ma Chao pointed his spear forward and shouted.

"Kill." With Ma Chao's order, the 100,000 troops shouted together.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen shouted out the words "100,000 kills" soared into the sky, and even the wind and clouds changed color.

Immediately, the cavalry began to accelerate and gallop south. The vibration formed by 100,000 iron cavalry and 400,000 iron hooves trampling on the land of Yongliang was no different from ordinary small earthquakes.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a landslide and a ground break.

That kind of tremor also spread from countless miles to a long distance. It made Zhang Fei and the Chu army led by Chen Da clearly feel it.

Without the orders from the general above, the soldiers could know that there were large numbers of iron cavalry approaching.

"What an amazing number." Zhang Fei showed a hint of amazement on his face, then he turned over and got off the horse, lay on the ground, listened with his ears, and laughed for a moment, "It may be around 100,000."

"One hundred thousand iron cavalry. The huge crossbow arrows on our crossbow bed are only 15,000, and the crossbow is only 50,000 iron arrows. Even if all the arrows are shot, they will not be able to deal with so many cavalry."

Chen Da sighed and said.

However, even though that is the case, there is no slightest worry on the faces of Zhang Fei and Chen Da. Because although the number of iron arrows seems to be insufficient, it is actually enough.

Don’t just calculate the lethality of an iron arrow, it depends on the overall lethality. Ten thousand arrows are fired at once, and the wind and clouds are changed. Shooting down the ten thousand knights at once. Even if the opponent has an army of 100,000, he will probably be frightened and dare not move forward any more.

No matter who comes, Zhang Fei and Chen Da are confident that with the sharp weapon they have in their hands, they caught him off guard and created a great victory.
