Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1189: Ma Chao's Night Raid Camp

Such an effect was also within Ma Chao's expectation. Ma Chao had gained a huge reputation among the Qiang people by virtue of his martial arts. Both the Qiang and Han armies would have admiration for generals with strong martial arts skills.

Ma Chao could foresee that once he defeated Chang'an's army, his prestige in Wudu, Longxi and Hanyang would be unparalleled, which would play an extremely important role in the stability of his rule.

"General, the combat effectiveness of the Chang'an Army cannot be underestimated, and Taishi Ci is extremely brave. How could he not be on guard against our army?" Zhang Heng said.

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Heng for a moment. Zhang Heng was originally the commander-in-chief of the Wudu County army. After Ma Chao arrived in Wudu, he naturally could not keep the military power in his hands. As for what Zhang Heng thought of him, it was not Ma Chao.

What he had to consider was to win and wash away the shame of that day.

"Does General Zhang think that our army should stay in the city and wait for Lu Bu to lead the army? As a warrior in the Liangzhou army, no matter what kind of enemy we face, we must have high fighting spirit." Ma Chao asked in a deep voice.

road.

Zhang Heng said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Our army has the advantage of the city. If the general gives up the advantage of the city and goes out of the city to sneak attack on the enemy's camp, victory will be gratifying, but failure will be a huge blow to the morale of the army.

"

Zhang Heng's prestige in the Wudu army is not low. After hearing Zhang Heng's words, many generals also agreed. After all, going to war involves taking a lot of risks. The enemy's force is strong, so holding on to the city is the best policy.

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "When I go to battle, I only need a thousand cavalry to follow me. There is no need for you to go to battle."

Seeing that Ma Chao had made up his mind, Zhang Heng sighed secretly. To be fair, what he said just now was really for the benefit of Wudu, but in Ma Chao's eyes, it became his attempt to compete with Ma Chao for military power.

.

Late at night, the Hechi city gate, which had been closed for days, slowly opened, and a group of cavalry took advantage of the darkness and disappeared not far away.

Since the battle that day, Taishi Ci has strictly ordered the generals in the army to defend the camp carefully. However, most of the soldiers in the army are new soldiers. Although they have experienced fighting against bandits, they have not been able to truly experience the cruelty of the real battlefield.

After the soldiers on the secret sentry were removed one after another, the Chang'an Army's camp was revealed in front of Ma Chao.

Hutou Zhan waved his golden gun, and thousands of cavalry moved towards the Chang'an Army's camp. The soldiers above the camp just sounded the gongs in their hands, but they were killed by dense arrows.

Opening the gate of the camp, Ma Chao led the way into the Chang'an Army camp. The first thing the cavalry that followed was to light the tents in the camp. At such a late night, the lit tents can stimulate the deepest feelings of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

The fear everywhere made the soldiers in the army panic. As a result, no matter how elite Taishi Ci's soldiers were, it would be difficult to win.

The panic of the army in the middle of the night is absolutely fatal to an army. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause the entire army to collapse.

To Ma Chao's expectation, after the tents were lit one after another, no screams were heard as expected, and the Chang'an army was even too quiet.

"Not good!" An ominous premonition came to his mind. Ma Chao suddenly realized that the sneak attack on the Chang'an Army camp was too smooth. When he chose to leave the city for the sneak attack, Ma Chao did not deliberately cover up the traces of the cavalry, except for some hidden sentries along the way.

Except for this, it did not cause any discovery by the Chang'an Army.

"Kill!" Taishi Ci led 300 Lieyang Archers to fight out from the left side of Ma Chao's army. Although there were only 300 Lieyang Archers, in such a late night, the momentum of the charge was still extremely spectacular. The coalition of princes

When attacking Bingzhou, the Lieyang Archers had already proven with their powerful combat effectiveness that they were the absolute elite.

Ma Chao was shocked. He was certainly no stranger to the Lieyang Bow Cavalry. Although he had never had a real fight with the Lie Yang Bow Cavalry on the battlefield, the Lie Yang Bow Cavalry had a huge reputation among the princes.

"Kill!" Ma Chao led the cavalry to kill without hesitation. Although the situation was not good for him at this time, the vanguard of the Chang'an army only had 5,000 people, while his own cavalry had 1,000 people.

, there is still a chance of victory. The role of a thousand cavalry on the battlefield cannot be ignored. Judging from the information obtained, the number of cavalry in the Chang'an army this time is only a few hundred. As long as Taishi Ci's cavalry is blocked, the rest will be done.

It's much simpler.

Just when Ma Chao was leading the cavalry to fight Taishi Ci, bursts of killing cries suddenly rang out from the right side of the camp. Thousands of infantry came towards Ma Chao. Although their expressions could not conceal their fear, their pace remained unchanged.

firm.

A large number of vanguard soldiers also appeared in the rear. Even though the cavalry following Ma Chao were elite, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and it was inevitable that there would be some panic. Moreover, it was late at night. Ma Chao wanted to take advantage of the late night to defeat Chang'an.

The dark night also brought fear to Ma Chao's cavalry.

The fighting power of the Lieyang Archers is so strong. Although the Xiliang Cavalry under Ma Chao are also elites, after the two fought together, the Lieyang Archers, who were at a disadvantage in terms of cavalry numbers, showed a strong fight.

Lacking the protection of heavy armor, they were more flexible on their war horses, and the scimitars in their hands kept harvesting the lives of the Xiliang cavalry.

The Lieyang Archers used scimitars made of hundreds of steel, which caused trouble to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to a great extent. The armor on their bodies could not effectively protect them from the scimitar cuts, which most troubled the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Unfortunately, their enemies were extremely nimble in their movements on their war horses, and even the Xiliang cavalry, which boasted proficiency in bows and horses, could not match their skillful movements.

Seeing that the situation on the field was not favorable for his own side, Ma Chao led his cavalry to fight for a while, broke through the Chang'an army's defense line, and headed towards the city.

Gathering his troops and counting the losses, Taishi Ci did not look relaxed. Although his soldiers had successfully resisted the threat from Ma Chao, Taishi Ci saw more problems in the army. First of all, in

On the issue of hidden whistles.

The reason why Taishi Ci was able to know the movements of the army in the city and respond in advance was because of the flying eagle soldiers on the battlefield. If he had relied on the secret sentries in the army, the situation in the army would be different at this time.

.

Ma Chao's surprise attack was absolutely fatal to the Chang'an army. He could even imagine what the army would be like if it weren't for the Flying Eagle soldiers. However, if a hasty arrangement can achieve such an effect, it is still

Unexpected.
