Ma Chao looked at this helpless siege battle and felt extremely angry.
He saw that the individual abilities of his soldiers were quite good.
While Qingdun protects his body, he can also carry a sack of sand.
And he was able to run away from the moat without any damage and throw the sand down.
And when he came back, he always walked backwards, protected his body with a shield, and ran back slowly.
The problem lies in the fact that these county soldiers are too strong in personal ability and have no awareness of cooperating with each other in formation.
They all do their own thing.
Ma Chao remembered watching a movie before he traveled through time.
Was it called Spartan Three Hundred or Eight Hundred?
The bucklers in the hands of the Spartan soldiers could form a buckler array, just like a turtle shell, with the front and back The left rear is tight and solid.
But inside, the harpooneers are always on standby, moving steadily.
If these people can use the shields in their hands to form an airtight formation, then even the crossbowmen on the walls of Longxi County cannot hurt these soldiers. life.
Moreover, the people in the camp are responsible for filling the sand, and the efficiency will be several times higher.
After thinking about it, Ma Chao strengthened his determination to train his soldiers in formations and cooperate with them: only those who knew formations such as Qimen Dunjia among the divine divination sect would be assigned to the military training hall to teach the formations.
There is also You Chu, although he is responsible for the Han and Qiang Trading Post and the county affairs of Beidi County and cannot come to Fufeng to teach in person, he still has to write a book about formations for middle-level non-commissioned officers to learn and train.
After thinking about it, Ma Chao felt that this siege was really meaningless, so he planned to withdraw his troops and come back for dinner.
Just before the Ma family paid tribute, there was new news in Longxi County.
After Brother Chou's sword and shield hand was exhausted, the suspension bridge at the head of Longxi County suddenly shook and creaked slowly as it fell.
Ma Chao was stunned and had no time to react.
The suspension bridge had already crashed down, and the city gates were wide open, guided by more than a hundred cavalry.
The Longxi County cavalry launched a counterattack, and the sword and shield soldiers below the city who were tired from filling the river were caught off guard.
And because there was no formation cover, they were immediately cut down and suffered heavy casualties.
Ma Chao's mind went blank for a while, and his chest suddenly became extremely irritable.
Firstly, he felt sorry for the thousands of soldiers under the city, and secondly, he was angry that his own army was beaten passively under the absolute cover of firepower.
In particular, the Longxi County soldiers' moves were not unique.
What was worse was that he had not made any preparations beforehand.
It seems like there is nothing I can do to deal with the current situation: before attacking, send some spearmen to be protected by sword and shield men to fill the river.
At this time, when the cavalry rushed out, the long gunmen were able to resist.
Now Brother Chou's men are all sword and shield players.
Against the cavalry, under the collision of the horses, there was no way to fight back.
Ma Chao hurriedly asked for gold and ordered Brother Chou's troops to withdraw.
At the same time, he ordered the crossbows to suppress the firepower on the city wall, preventing Longxi County's mountain-destroying crossbows from taking any advantage.
When the cavalry commander in Longxi County tried to rely on military superiority.
While outflanking Brother Chou, Pang De, who had been arranged in advance from the rear, also reacted immediately: Just kidding, if you do this in front of the Xiliang cavalry who dominate the world, you really think that the Ma family army is dead.
Pang De took the lead and led the front.
The troops went into the battlefield and attacked the Longxi cavalry from both sides of Brother Chou.
I have to say.
The combat power of the Xiliang cavalry was indeed better than that of the Longxi cavalry.
They first threw javelins and caught the Longxi cavalry by surprise.
Then came Yuan Rong's crossbow power, which defeated the Longxi cavalry in numbers and arrogance before they could charge in front of the enemy.
In particular, Pang De's force value was very high.
He first killed the cavalry commander, and then led his men to crush him with a 13-foot-long wooden breakthrough, causing the Longxi County soldiers to panic and collapse.
Even so, in just a few breaths when the Longxi cavalry rushed out, they killed about 500 infantrymen of Brother Chou.
In addition to the 500 people lost in Nan'an County, Brother Chou had already lost one-half of his 2,000 infantrymen. .
"Ding dong" Ma Chao's side started to ring gold, and Longxi County's side also started to ring gold.

In this battle, the two sides fought very hard and had a tacit understanding, which finally brought the curtain down on this tentative attack.
In fact, this is just Ma Chao's wishful thinking.
Just as Pang De and Brother Chou were retreating, Ma Chao suddenly saw a commotion behind his formation.
From time to time, I heard the sound of people shouting and horses neighing, and later I saw raging smoke rising into the sky.
"That's where a certain army's supplies of food and fodder are."
Ma Chao was so anxious that he quickly ordered the entire Xiliang cavalry to dispatch, and he took the lead and rushed to the back of the formation.
Looking out, I saw only about five hundred Longxi cavalry coming out of nowhere and burning their own army's food and grass.
The entire Xiliang cavalry immediately reacted quickly and effectively under Ma Chao's mobilization.
Under the charge of ten thousand people, the rumble of horse hooves seemed to break the ground.
When the five hundred Longxi cavalry saw that they really pissed off the Ma family army, Immediately, the torch and the blood-stained spear and sword in his hand ran away in a flash.
"Stop chasing, put out the fire quickly," Ma Chao ordered dejectedly: He knew that this cavalry unit might have been ambushing nearby.
If it weren't for the fear of waiting for a long time to be discovered, I wouldn't just get this small advantage.
In this battle, I have lost for a while.
At this time, Ma Chao sincerely felt: This war is really not that simple, and we can't just give the order just because our head is hot.
This time I am lucky, I am not stupid enough.
And if he acted in a hurry and threw all his troops into the battlefield, then this cavalry force of only 500 people might really be able to burn all his food and grass, causing him to lose everything, and finally retreat to Fufeng in embarrassment.
When the battle reached this point, Ma Chao's heart gradually became cold: If the Longxi County Sheriff was a fool, he could still win; if the Longxi County soldiers were demoralized, he could still win; if the Longxi City was not high and the walls were not high, he could still win.
Hou, he can win too.
The problem is, this After the battle, Ma Chao clearly saw that the governor of Longxi County was quite capable.
Except for the unclear political aspects, he was also very good in employment, military literacy training, and city defense.
The quality and ability of the county soldiers under his command were No worse than Ma Jiajun.
In addition, the terrain of Longxi County is dangerous and the city is high and the walls are thick.
I am afraid that I will not be able to capture Longxi County in a short time.
"Check, check hard for me.
I can't believe that there is such a person in Longxi County."
At the military summary meeting in the tent, Ma Chao was furious: His slogan is "know yourself, know the enemy", but now, he doesn't even know who the governor of Longxi County is. know He was not angry at these subordinates.
To be honest, although he suffered a small defeat in today's battle, his subordinates' performance was normal.
Ma Chao was actually angry with himself at this time, hating himself for causing more than 700 elite veterans to lose their lives in a test attack on impulse.
After hearing Ma Chao's shouting, Brother Chou did not respond positively.
He frowned, as if he had been thinking about a question since he entered the door.
"Brother Chou, can't the shadow penetrate Longxi County at all?"
Seeing that Brother Chou didn't come back, Ma Chao suppressed his anger and asked Brother Chou.
"Ah, no.
If you want to check Longxi County's military deployment and food supplies, Shadow can do nothing.
But if you just want to ask about the resume of the Longxi County Sheriff, there is still no problem.
Within a day, news came.
A certain person was just Thinking" "What are you thinking about?"
Ma Chao was puzzled.
This ugly brother now uses his brain when fighting.
This is a good thing.
"Young Master, we transported fifty cartloads of sandbags and threw most of them down this afternoon.
I found that the moat in Longxi County had almost no reaction."
Brother Chou's words aroused the interest of everyone in the tent, and the eyes of Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Fazheng, and Yang Fu were even brighter: Isn't it stagnant water, but living water?
s: No more to say, there are two more updates. . .
