At the head of Yong'an City, the potter had clearly seen the momentum of the dust covering the sky on the battlefield, and he knew that the Xianbei people had launched an attack.
The potter also secretly tensed his nerves, imagining how Li Mu would deal with the onslaught of the enemy horseman.
At the critical moment, the potter suddenly unexpectedly saw that the dust that was about to crash into his own army suddenly turned around, swept past his own army's formation, and retreated towards Xianbei's main formation.
"Haven't you flinched, it's interesting," the potter muttered to himself, a sneer rising at the corner of his mouth.
A moment later, a cavalry scout galloped in, delivering the latest front-line battle report as soon as possible.
What made the potters feel strange was not that the enemy cavalry retreated, but that the generals who led the army turned out to be holding the battle flag with the word "horse".
"Horse-shaped battle flag, in the Xianbei army, when did there be a general surnamed Ma" Wei Chigong said blankly.
The potter was also suspicious, but at this time, Liu Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, that Ma surnamed is an enemy general, could it be that Ma Ma Chao can't succeed."
Ma Chao The potter's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that he thought that this surnamed Ma enemy general must be Ma Chao.
He vaguely remembered that before the Battle of Dunhuang, Cao Cao fell for his divisive plan, and afterwards, according to the confession of the soldier, Ma Chao did leave Cao Cao with his 3,000 Ma family army before the battle, and he was nowhere to be found.
The entire Western Liang has been captured by the Great Wei, and the Ma Chao clan can no longer gain a foothold in Liangzhou, and the only way out is to go east to Mo Nan and go to Mao Dun or Liu Bei.
The word "horse" appeared in the Xianbei army today, and most of them were Ma Chao who defected to Maodun, not Liu Bei.
"His grandmother's, this Ma Chao is determined to fight against us, I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect to go to the Xianbei people, and he retreated, which one is he playing."
Wei Chigong was scolded and dazed.
The potter's mind was racing, but he quickly saw through Ma Chao's thoughts, and sneered: "This Ma Chao is also smart, he is retreating, not because he is afraid of death, but because he does not want to be cannon fodder for Xianbei people." ” "Your Majesty of cannon fodder, what is cannon fodder" Wei Chigong was inadvertently confused by this fresh word that came out of the potter again.
The potter coughed, and the eagle eyes continued to shoot towards the eastern battlefield, "If you don't understand, don't ask so much, honestly enjoy Li Mu's performance, the attack of the Xianbei people will not end because of Ma Chao's retreat, the show has just begun." ” Everyone's attention was quickly diverted from Ma Chao's body, and a pair of eyes full of anticipation shot back to the eastern battlefield.
On the top of the earth mountain, Mao Dun was annoyed, watching Ma Chao give up the attack, and retreated to his own position after dropping more than a thousand corpses in the face of the rain of arrows of the Wei army.
Mao Dun was very displeased, so he was ready to send someone to call Ma Chao over and ask this general of the Qin State for his guilt.
Ma Chao was also very knowledgeable, and without waiting for Mao Dun to send someone to pass on, he took the initiative to ride his horse up the dirt mountain.
"Ma Chao, you are so bold, you are ordered to attack the enemy formation, why do you dare to retreat from the battle" Mao suddenly asked angrily.
Ma Chao seemed to be prepared for his questioning, and he gave up his hand and calmly defended: "Da Dan is angry, and Shi Caichao also wants to desperately impact the enemy formation, but when he is in the battle, he finds that the guns and spears of the enemy formation are too dense, and the thousands of soldiers and horses in the super can't break through the enemy formation at all, but it may be wiped out by the whole army, and then it will damage the morale of our army, so Chaocai retreated, and wanted to know the enemy's virtual and real knowledge of Da Danyu, and it didn't have to damage the morale of our army." ” Mao Dun's full of anger was immediately blocked by Ma Chao's sincere words and his defense for the overall situation.
There's no way, who makes what Ma Chao said make sense.
"Ma Mengqi, you probably wanted to preserve your strength, so you deliberately retreated," Shi Le on the side asked with a sneer.
"How is it possible, General Shi, how can you think so" Ma Chao looked surprised and asked rhetorically: "According to what you say, would I want to send me to attack the enemy army instead of sending people, is it to deliberately consume the strength of my subordinates and save your subordinates?"
Shi Le's face changed, he didn't expect Ma Chao to react so quickly, and choked himself back with a word, not knowing how to refute it.
Seeing this, Mao Dun had to cough a few times, and said with a brush: "Okay, okay, you don't have to quarrel anymore, this single is just about who to let to fight, just from the overall situation, I don't think about who to consume, who to keep, this single is to ask you Ma Mengqi to fight, but also because you have fought with Wei Jun many times and have more experience." ” Shi Le didn't want to question Ma Chao anymore, Ma Chao also stood up straight, and secretly exhaled, glad that he had passed the test in a fool's way.
"Ma Mengqi, just now you said that you have seen through the reality of the Wei army, and you will attack next, what do you think" Mao Dun led the conversation back to the topic.
Ma Chao hurriedly arched his hand, and said: "Chao Shicai has already tried out, because the Wei army is arrayed in the light, its archers cannot exert their power, and the only threat to our army's impact comes from the enemy's first wave of crossbow fire, so Chao thinks that our army should charge with a shield, as long as the attack of the crossbow arrows is blocked, it can smoothly approach the enemy formation and break through in one fell swoop." ” Mao Dun nodded slightly, and a somewhat satisfied smile appeared on his hideous face.
"Where is Shi Le?"
Mao suddenly shouted.
"Shile is here."
Shi Le hurriedly put down the unpleasantness with Ma Chao and turned the horse out of the ranks.
Mao Dun raised his whip and pointed at the Wei array, and said sharply: "Ben Dan Yu ordered you to lead 40,000 iron horsemen, holding a wooden shield to charge, be sure to give Ben Dan Yu a breath to crush the enemy formation." ” "Da Dan Yu rest assured, Shi Le, I will not be greedy for life and afraid of death, with me out of the horse, I will definitely kill the Wei army without leaving a piece of armor" Shi Le made a bold speech, and with a big knife in his hand, he slapped his horse and went straight down the mountain.
The order was conveyed, and the servant soldiers immediately presented their shields to the 40,000 Xianbei cavalry.
In front of the Shile prancing horse formation, he raised his sword and shouted: "The warriors of Da Xianbei, follow me to level the enemy formation and kill all the Wei dogs."
"Kill the Wei Dog" "Kill the Wei Dog" The 40,000 Xianbei cavalrymen, slapping their swords against their shields, roared and screamed, like wolves roaring in unison, making a terrifying roar.
With Shi Le's order, 40,000 iron horsemen roared and rushed towards the Wei army.
This time, the Xianbei people were completely moved, and the second time they attacked, the number of troops was eight times that of Ma Chao before.
The iron rider ran wildly, setting up the sky and dust, the earth was trembling under the trample, and the surrounding mountains seemed to be shaking.
In an instant, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry once again rushed within two hundred paces.
The crossbowmen of the Wei army fired another volley with Li Mu's order, and the sharp arrows rose into the air, cutting through countless arcs, and overwhelming towards the surging iron cavalry frenzy.
"Raise the shield to block the arrow" Shi Le, who was running, roared loudly and raised the big shield in his hand.
The 40,000 Xianbei cavalry raised their shields one after another, and the rain of arrows that swooped down from the sky was overwhelming in the next second.
Ma Chao's proposal worked, the wooden shield effectively resisted the dive shot from the sky, and after a round of arrow rain, only more than 100 Xianbei people were shot to the ground, compared to their 40,000 iron horses, it was simply insignificant.
The crossbow arrows were shot, and the Xianbei Iron Cavalry continued to gallop forward unstoppably, and in the blink of an eye, it entered the range of the Wei army's bow and arrows.

Due to the backlight, the hit rate of the Wei archers was greatly reduced, and after two rounds of bows and arrows, only less than 70 horsemen were shot.
Three rounds of arrows were fired, and the Xianbei people were unstoppable, roaring like a torrent.
In the Central Military Department, Li Mu knew that this impact would be unavoidable, and the real moment of life and death was just around the corner.
His calm face is still fearless, and the sword in his hand is horizontal, and it is still the same sentence: "Those who dare to take a step back without permission will be killed."
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were fearless, clenched the spears and shields in their hands, held the belief that they would die, and did not retreat half a step, proudly facing the rolling enemy horses.
Fifty steps Thirty steps Twenty steps At a certain moment, the enemy rider crashed into it.
Thundered Click In an instant, the sound of spears breaking, the sound of large shields shattering, the neighing of war horses, the howls of soldiers, and the countless howls of ghosts and wolves, suddenly rose up, almost covering all the sounds in heaven and earth.
Hitting the first line, a thick blood mist was squeezed out, and it rose into the air, dyeing the sky above the first line of impact into a bloody veil in an instant.
Patches of Xianbei cavalry were tied into meat skewers by the spears of the Wei army, and they fell to the ground, and were trampled into meat paste by the iron cavalry of their own army that surged up from behind.
There were also patches of Wei troops, which were knocked over with large shields, broken spears, crushed by Xianbei iron cavalry, and harvested by their war knives.
A bloody battle began.
The Wei army shield men in the front row desperately erected a big shield to resist the impact of the enemy cavalry and maintain the formation, while the spearmen in the back row frantically stabbed the enemy cavalry in front of the shield wall.
Because of the close distance, the crossbowmen were afraid of hurting their brothers, so they didn't dare to release the crossbow again, but the archers who were hiding behind the Wugang car shield were finally able to play a role at this time, and they could shoot arrows at will through the arrow holes on the wall of the Wugang car shield towards the Xianbei people who were close in front of them.
Hundreds of Xianbei people were shot and killed by the Wei archers, and despite their best efforts, they were surprised to find that they could not break through the Wei army's shield array.
"What's the matter, my 40,000-strong army is attacking with all its might, how can I not break through the enemy formation, rush to me, rush to death" Shi Le, who was furious, waved his sword and roared, urging his soldiers, wave after wave to come up and send them to death.
In the Wei army's array, Li Mumu was sneering, his Wugang car finally played a role.
If the Wei army was all arrayed with infantry shields, in the face of the impact of the Xianbei people's 40,000 iron cavalry, I am afraid that only one charge would be completely broken.
After all, the impact of the cavalry is too strong, how can it be resisted by flesh and blood alone.
But the Wugang chariot is a chariot, the tonnage is far better than the foot soldiers, and even heavier than several war horses combined, with the Wugang chariot as the support point, the sturdiness of the Wei army's shield array has increased by more than ten times, coupled with the close attack of the archers, the Xianbei people can break the monster.
"Today is the time for me Li Mu to become famous all over the world" Li Mu raised the sword in his hand, and his expression became more and more heroic. isjgy:
