Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the blink of an eye, when the battle came to Lily, Ma Chaoyue fought more and more smoothly, as if he had endless strength, and the timidity caused by the initial fight also disappeared without a trace.  At the same time, I also learned a lot about Guan Yu's martial arts skills. Guan Yu deserves to be the martial saint of later generations. There are almost no flaws in the Spring and Autumn Swordsmanship he learned. If he wants to win, it will be harder than reaching the sky. Perhaps only Lu Bu can be slightly better.  .  Moreover, Guan Yu attaches great importance to "power". Before every fight, he must secretly accumulate strength. Once he takes action, it will be a thunderous strike, leaving no force behind. Even opponents of the same level can hardly block his fierce attack. Therefore, Guan Yu has the ability to kill famous generals.  Strength.  But if we can withstand the momentum accumulated by Guan Yu, the possibility of defeat will be greatly reduced. No wonder many first-class generals in history can fight Guan Yu for dozens of rounds without defeat. Guan Yu is the ancestor of Cheng Yaojin, and he has three swords in his head.  It's awesome. Once you get over it, the pressure will be greatly reduced.  The war between the two was in a stalemate, and it was not easy to tell the winner for a while, but Wenpin and Gao Shun were directing the soldiers to install the Xiangyang cannon.  This time, Ma Chao brought a total of 150 large-scale Xiangyang artillery, vowing to attack Xiaopei City in one fell swoop and completely eradicate Liu Bei's scourge.  Liu Bei, who was on the top of the city, saw that Guan Yu could not defeat Ma Chao, and most of the Xiangyang cannons were installed, and he was very anxious.  Taishi Ci said to Taishi Ci next to him: "Ma Chao is unkind and extremely treacherous. Once he sets up the Xiangyang Cannon, we may not be able to resist it. Please help me, please Ziyi!" Taishi Ci looked a little embarrassed. From his heart, he really didn't want to.  Become an enemy of Ma Chao. After all, Ma Chao has won the hearts of the people in the north and even sent people to take care of his old mother.  But in Xiaopei, he was just a guest, that is, he stayed in Xiaopei as a guest and did not seek refuge with Liu Bei.  But Liu Bei treated him with great respect these days.  It can be said that there was a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. The three brothers took turns drinking with him and discussing world affairs, showing a sense of mutual sympathy.  Not only that, Liu Bei also asked Taishi Ci to serve as the matchmaker for his wedding to Gan Qian on behalf of Kong Rong. Because of this, Taishi Ci delayed again and again, and only waited for the two to get married before rushing back to Liu Yao to continue serving.  At this moment, when he heard that Liu Bei wanted something from him, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he felt embarrassed and refused to save him.  Holding his fists, he said: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of Duke Xuande. But if you need it, you dare not go through fire and water!" Liu Bei pointed at Ma Chao and said: "This thief oppressed the young king, controlled the government, and robbed the mother of the country. He used his power to bully others. Now he attacks my city again. Kill me.  Brothers and sisters, I wish I could drink their blood and eat their flesh. I hope General Taishi will help me kill this thief for the sake of justice!" After saying this, his face was filled with tears, and he said, "Plop!  "He bowed down and kept kowtowing.  Taishi Ci quickly stepped aside, knelt down and returned the gift, and said urgently: "Master Xuande, why is this? To put it bluntly, this great gift is absolutely not allowed! I have always been on good terms with Yide, and Ma Chao's move is indeed a bit excessive.  If you have a plan to defeat Ma Chao, I am willing to do what you can do!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, but on the surface he was crying bitterly. He pointed at the rows of Xiangyang cannons outside the city and said, "The little thief Ma Chao used this to defeat thousands of people!  The human-guarded Hulao Pass, Xiaopei is just an ordinary city, how can it be compared with Hulao Pass? The reason why Ma Chao dared to attack Xiaopei was because of this!" Tai Shici looked at it carefully and nodded:  "I have heard a little bit about what Xuande Gong said. This trebuchet is assembled from multiple parts. It has a complex structure and is not easy to make. It is also considered a rare thing in the world!" Liu Bei nodded and said: "Exactly! I  If you want to ask General Taishi to lead 20,000 troops to fight and destroy all these trebuchets, Ma Chao has nothing to fear! He only needs to hold on to Xiaopei for a few days, and when Yuan Shao's army arrives, Ma Chao will retreat if he can kill all the trebuchets!  It's even more of a miracle to move the machine to the city." Taishi Ci was a little hesitant when he heard this. Although Ma Chao's troops outside the city only have more than 20,000 people, they are well-equipped and only have hundreds of troops.  The fighting elites are by no means comparable to Liu Bei's rabble. Even if they have twice as many, they still have little chance of winning.  Taishi Ci often fought with Yuan Shao under Liu Yao, and he knew very well the gap between miscellaneous soldiers and elite soldiers.  Not only that, once he goes into battle, he will inevitably get the reputation of being unjust.  Regardless of how Ma Chao treated others, he was quite kind to Tai Shi Ci.  After pondering for a long time, Taishi Ci was finally unable to block Liu Bei's pleading eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "Ci is willing to lead the army into battle! But there is a condition that I hope Duke Xuande will agree to!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and said anxiously: "I have Ziyi to help me.  Why worry about Ma Chao not retreating? If Ziyi has any conditions, just speak up!" Tai Shici said: "Ma Chao cares about his mother at home, and please don't betray my identity!  Please allow me to go back to Guangling and return to the lord's tent." Liu Bei said, "Zi Yi is really a righteous man! I have no reason to refuse!" After the two discussed, Liu Bei personally dispatched troops and selected generals.  Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were sent out and handed over to the leadership of Tai Shici. While Ma Chao and Guan Yu were fighting inextricably, 20,000 infantry troops filed out and rushed directly in front of the two armies.  The 20,000 soldiers and horses are obviously a level stronger than the previous 20,000. At least everyone has a helmet and a light gun.Armor, the weapons in hand are mainly simple knives, and are also equipped with hardwood shields.  There were two thousand archers among them.  Ma Chao had been unable to defeat Guan Yu for a long time, and he had great intentions of using this precious time to install the Xiangyang cannon. Seeing Liu Bei sending out a large group of elite troops at this moment, he knew that Liu Bei was going to fight hard.  Not willing to fight at the moment, he made a false move and turned around to retreat.  Guan Yu did not dare to pursue rashly. He turned around and shouted: "Ma Chao has been killed and retreated. The whole army goes out to avenge the three generals!" "Revenge!" "Revenge!" The 40,000-strong army was immediately led by Guan Yu and Tai Shici.  They moved forward slowly, their formation was not disordered at all, and their command was measured.  Ma Chao secretly sneered, waved his halberd and shouted: "Where is Gao Shun!" "No general is here!" Ma Chao shouted: "I order you to lead the trapped camp to attack, go straight to the middle of the bandit army, and break up their formation!" "  The general takes command!" Gao Shun took a few steps forward, raised his spear and shouted, "I'm invincible! I'm invincible!  Invincible!" With a loud roar, the shield soldiers at the forefront immediately separated, and a pair of heavy armored infantry marched out in neat steps, causing a sound of metal clashing. There were two thousand of them.  This infantry is the most elite infantry under Ma Chao. Most of them are from the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army. They are all trained hard by the best of a hundred.  Because the prototype of this team is Gao Shun¡¯s trapped camp, the name is trapped camp.  Just looking at the equipment of this infantry can scare a group of people. The so-called heavy armored infantry, as the name suggests, are all people wearing heavy armor.  Ma Chao spent a lot of money to build this invincible lion, and invested far more financial and material resources than the average army.  First of all, these heavy armors are not fish scale armor and chain mail, but genuine breastplates.  The chest and abdomen are made of a half-thick steel shell, which is not afraid of being stabbed by ordinary swords and guns. Moreover, except for the fingers and soles of the feet, the entire body is protected by armor, even the joints are no exception.  This set of armor weighs thirty kilograms, which is the same as the full-body armor in the West. When not worn, it looks like a human figure. When someone wears it, it becomes a mobile tower, and its defense power is extremely abnormal.  But such armor is extremely difficult to make. It takes time and effort, not to mention materials. With Ma Chao's conditions, he can only make two thousand sets.  And there are great limitations. Unless a strong person can bear the weight of the armor, it can be said that it is specially prepared for Gao Shun to fall into the camp.  As soon as the two thousand trapped camp came out, there was a sigh of relief from the enemy camp on the opposite side. They had never seen such an infantry in all their lives.  If someone stands still and lets you cut them, it may take several cuts to kill one person. If two thousand people form a formation, the destructive power will be even more terrifying. They are simply made of steel.  Ma Chao's preparations obviously didn't stop there. As soon as the trapped camp attacked, he shouted loudly: "Wenpin, where is Chen Dao?" "General Mo is here!" Ma Chao shouted: "I order you two to each lead five thousand cavalry to attack the two wings.  , they must not look at each other, and use bows and arrows to snipe the archers behind the enemy camp!" "Go!" The two of them had been preparing for a long time. Following the general's order, they each led a pair of cavalry to charge towards the two wings.  Ma Chao also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of this team today. Ten thousand cavalry and two thousand trapped troops were enough to deal with Liu Bei's rabble.  Then he shouted: "Cao Xing organized a defensive formation of archers. When the thieves get close, shoot them with random arrows!" "That's your order!"  Holding a steel shield full of spikes in one hand, its defensive power is abnormal, and its attack power is definitely not bad.  But it was the cavalry teams of Chen Dao and Wenpin that fought against the rebels first.  In hand-to-hand combat, the first task of the cavalry is to break up the enemy's formation by relying on the advantage of the horse's charge.  Although the 10,000 cavalry are not heavily armored cavalry, they are not as well-equipped as Liu Bei's miscellaneous army.  Wenpin and Chen Dao divided the 5,000 cavalry into five squads, led by their respective captains. The 1,000 men dispersed to launch a charge. No two cavalry should be separated by at least about ten feet, and they should be staggered forward and backward.  The strike range can also carry out layer-by-layer strikes against the enemy.  Once an infantry falls into this range, the chance of survival is extremely slim, because if you can avoid the previous cavalry attack, someone will follow immediately behind you, and you don't know which direction the next attack will come from.  This is exactly what it is like to surround thousands of people with a thousand cavalry. As long as you don't fall, you will have to face the attack of five thousand people at any time.  This tactic made famous by Genghis Khan in later generations really had a miraculous effect. The two cavalry teams of 5,000 did not charge at the same time, but charged in the same direction row by row like ten thousand people running a marathon.  The weapons of these cavalry are all sabers. When they rush into the enemy, they will chop left and right to kill them.Each one counts as one, and the person behind you who didn't get hit will still have to hit you, so just rush forward on horseback.  Liu Bei¡¯s Yellow Turban Army were all recruited from ordinary people. Where could they go through such a formation?  Before the cavalry could get close, a few people fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.  It's a matter of life and death, who is willing to sacrifice his life for Liu Bei?
