"General, just now I arrested a villager for interrogation, and more than 3,000 soldiers have been stationed in this village since a few days ago, including Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and others.
"Who is the general of the unified army," Ma Chao asked in a condensed voice.
"Sima Zhuge Qian."
"Zhuge Qian" Ma Chao's pupils contracted slightly, and he pointed to the earthen wall in the village, "If you go around the village, you can detect the distribution of enemy troops."
"Returning to the general, the enemy army is distributed behind the earthen wall, and there are many houses built with earthen walls in the village, and after the roof collapses and the earthen wall at this moment, there will be enemy sergeants in ambush."
The corners of Ma Chao's mouth were slightly outlined, "That's very good, pass the order, and all departments will check the bowstrings and arrows." ” "General, our army must be preparing for cavalry shooting" Ma Chao shook his head slightly, "In this battle, our army wants to follow the example of the Hu cavalry outside the Saiwai, when they attacked the city pass of the Han people, they relied on the Hu cavalry to rush to the city wall, and solved the Han army defending the city head by means of roundabout projectiles. ” "But General, I don't know anything about the situation behind this earthen wall, and if we throw it indiscriminately, I'm afraid it will be a waste of arrows."
"Let me ask you, before leaving, the baggage team has prepared 100,000 arrows for the Wuxi Liang Iron Cavalry, you can bring them."
"Each person is equipped with ten quivers and two hundred arrows, but one hundred and fifty of them are short arrows used by Zhuge Repeater."
"It's okay, fifty arrows are enough."
The Han soldiers and soldiers, most of the quivers are loaded with only twenty or thirty arrows, that is, the Xiliang elite who followed his father Ma Teng for nearly ten years behind Ma Chao can control the bow and fifty arrows in a battle, of course, this is also because of the stirrups and horseshoes.
"In another three or five years, I'm afraid that Cao Wei will have horseshoes and stirrups."
Ma Chao recalled the words of Liu Qi, the king of Wu, and his heart was full of emotion, when the tiger and leopard cavalry fought with the Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, it was clear that all the sergeants had prepared horseshoes and stirrups, in fact, Cao Wei, who had won a large number of craftsmen and officials from Sun Quan and Liu Bei, was inferior to Jiangdong in terms of the equipment built by the craftsman's workshop, only time.
The time for imitation can't catch up, after all, Jiangdong's new ordnance has to appear on the battlefield before Cao Wei can capture the imitation.
Moreover, Cao Wei did not rush to work overnight and expedite the ability to equip various armies, even Jiangdong only gave priority to the new ordnance to the elite of each battalion.
The sound of the horse's hooves was like a heavy rain, and the whole earth was trembling, Cao Cao was awakened by the sound of the horse's hooves, and pushed away the waiters serving on the left and right, "What is the situation outside the village?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Ma Chao has given the order to attack."
"Although he Ma Chao is reckless, he will not bring these lone seedlings left by his father Ma Teng to send him to death."
"Your Majesty, Ma Chao led the army to rush up towards the head of the village."
Cao Cao's pupils contracted slightly, "There can be a division of troops" "Never."
Cao Cao thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted "not good", and the next moment, there was already a scream in front of him.
Cao Cao struggled to his feet violently, "What's going on ahead?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Ma Chao led the army to make a detour at the head of the village, and he ordered his iron cavalry to shoot in unison, and the arrows crossed the earthen wall and fell on the top of the heads of our sergeants, with heavy casualties in front."
"It's a good Ma Mengqi, and he actually used the method of Hu Qi to attack Liangxiang."
Cao Cao scolded angrily and pointed ahead, "Order all the troops, abandon the houses at the head of the village, step forward with swords and shields, and the rest of the sergeants retreat to the alleys and alleys, don't show your head and seek death." ” "Whoa."
However, the screams in front of him still kept coming, even if Cao Cao ordered to retreat, but Ma Chao also had heavy armor under the command of iron horses, they carried the arrows at the head of the city and rushed in, but whenever Cao's army retreated, there would be iron horsemen rushing into the village, before encountering the rejection of the horse, before being killed by an arrow, they would always shout out the direction of the enemy in the village.
"Fifty paces later."
"Seventy paces later."
About one or twenty horsemen fell in the passage at the entrance of the village, and their voices were heard.
"Put on heavy armor and kill it."
With Ma Chao's long shout, more than 100 horsemen of the front army put on the heavy armor of Cao Wei's tiger and leopard riding, and rushed into the passage of the three village heads.
Ten steps Twenty steps Thirty steps Sure enough, after the initial trap and triphorse rope were filled in by the scouts in front, the sergeant who came in later was Yima Pingchuan.
There are no arrows or traps.
"It's hateful, Ma Chao is so scheming."
Cao Cao's face shook, and he pointed to the guards who were protecting him, "Let's go up, use the bed crossbows and catapults left by the baggage camp in the village, aim at the lanes at the entrance of the village, and block the horse super iron horse." ” "Whoa."
With the trebuchet and the bed crossbow wielding, the heavy cavalry that came to the entrance of the village more than seventy paces with a wave of arrows on their heads began to suffer casualties.
"Raise the shield and use the Zhuge crossbow."
Dozens of steps away was Cao Jun who was ambushed behind the dirt slope and house, Ma Chao sneered, and immediately ordered the sergeant to use the Zhuge crossbow.
A crossbow and ten arrows, the strong wind that continued to ring in the ears swept out, and it didn't take long to put down more than 100 Wei troops who were ambushed on both sides with bows and arrows.
"Keep throwing at the earthen wall."
Ma Chao pointed to the rows of earthen walls and houses on the left and right, he was not in a hurry to advance, Cao Cao dared to command thousands of soldiers to guard a small village in this good township, and there must have been many traps waiting for him in the village.
"Your Majesty, everyone in Xiliang Iron Cavalry is good at shooting, and now they rely on the advantages of bows and arrows, how should we be good" The deputy general on Cao Cao's side said with a worried face.
"I have already ordered Zhuge to be a last resort, and not to block the road out of the village with rolling stones and trees."
Cao Cao's eyebrows tightened, "Let's see how he responds." ” Cheng Yu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but as soon as he raised his hand, a little more water suddenly appeared on the back of his hand, and his face was ecstatic, "Your Majesty, it's raining." ” Cao Cao was slightly stunned, and then he heard the sound of "rustling" in the distance, and unconsciously, he looked up into the distance, and the originally clear sky and cloudless sky were already cloudy at the moment.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to block the village with rolling stones and sassholes, just order the sergeants to hide inside the earthen wall and guard it at this moment."
"The heavy rain is coming, no matter how sharp the arrows of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Ma Chao are, it will not help at this moment."

Cao Cao stroked his beard with one hand, "Heaven is beautiful, Ma Mengqi is afraid that there is nothing to do now, the road at the entrance of this village is muddy and slippery, even if he wraps Ma Tie in a cloth, he will not want to rush in." ” Sure enough, just as the heavy rain swept through the entire Liangxiang, Ma Chao glanced at the village with a grim face, and tightened the spear in his hand, "The whole army retreats." ” The elite cavalry of the "Da Da Da" brigade quickly withdrew from the village, and did not shoot in the rain, which has been an unwritten rule since ancient times, and no one will blame even if the battle is lost.
After leaving the village, Ma Chao immediately ordered the sergeants to find a place to shelter from the rain, and the arrows they carried with them were easy to get wet, and even the bow could not withstand the pouring rain
