Chapter 396 Ma Chao Vs. Six-Pearl Bodhisattva, Weapons Specifically Designed to Deal with Cavalry
It was at that time that Shi Xie truly became determined to dominate. It was also at that time that one day he entered the vessel's room out of curiosity, and the scene in front of him made him vomit there.
Those so-called utensils have dense holes all over their faces and bodies. They were hung in the office. Are there still a few drops of black blood dripping on them? They have obviously reached this level, but they are still He is not dead, he still has his own consciousness, and can feel the pain of thousands of poisons eating his heart.
This was what made Shi Xie feel the most terrifying. Even though he was already like that, he could still clearly feel the pain and couldn't die even if he wanted to. At that time, Shi Xie was extremely lucky that he had such a weapon. The team is even more grateful that they did not become one of those vessels.
Pulling back his thoughts, Shi Xie stopped recalling that past event and turned around to leave. He felt tingling all over his body if he stayed for a while.
The matriarch looked at Shi Xie who was gradually walking away, with a smile on her lips under the veil.
"Go and remove the poison."
She waved her hand and asked the people behind her to do it, and returned to the big tent alone. Although she called Shi Xie my lord, her live broadcast perspective did not appear among Shi Xie's generals, which meant that she was not sincere. Want to join Shi Xie's command.
As Shi Xie disappeared, the live broadcast about the matriarch also disappeared. The netizens who had just been attracted left Shi Xie's live broadcast room and returned to Gu Rubing.
Although Gu Rubing decided not to take the initiative to attack, he still sent a large number of soldiers to guard him. He was not sure whether the scouts in the afternoon were discovered. If they were discovered, then Shi Xie would know that he was now aware of the existence of the trap. , then he should no longer wait for it to be delivered to his door. He will definitely take the initiative to attack and try every means to get that weird toxin.
Not only near the canyon, but also the passage where Wei Yan and the others escaped, Gu Rubing sent heavy troops to guard it to prevent Shi Xie from making a detour and sneak attack.
During the few days when Gu Rubing and Shi Xie had a truce, other places were not idle. In the west of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang had already captured Wuling County with an army of hundreds of thousands, and began to outflank Nanjun in the north. He was almost approaching Jingzhou. So Xiangyang.
After Liu Qi got the news about Gu Rubing, he immediately began to shrink his troops in Wuling County. However, some of them were too far away and could not be transferred back. Now they have been captured by Liu Zhang. Liu Qi was ready to give up all The military towns and county towns were built around Xiangyang in Nanjun and the three surrounding military towns.
After recalling all the troops in Wuling County, Liu Qi currently has a total of 120,000 troops, 30,000 cavalry, and 90,000 infantry. The three military towns surrounding Xiangyang each have 30,000 infantry, and 30,000 cavalry are dispatched at any time in Xiangyang. If Zhuge Liang were here, he would definitely be able to see that this is the result of the combination of the Three Talents Formation and the Star Gongyue Formation, turning Xiangyang into a difficult city to attack.
Compared with the tepid relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Qi, the war along the junction of Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou in the north can be called tragic. As Cao Cao said, he took on the most difficult task in this operation, preventing Gu Ru Bing's army, and he did it.
In the past few days, Zhang Liao was blocked by Cao Ren, Wenpin, and Le Jin who came from the north of Nanyang County to support him at the junction of Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Zhang Fei was blocked by Xu Chu, Xiahou brothers, and several others in the north of Nanyang County. Zhang He was blocked by Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and the others were blocked in the north of Yangzhou. Guan Yu was blocked by Dian Wei and Li Dian and other two first-rate military generals in the northeast of Sili Province. Ma Chao was blocked by the Six Pearl Bodhisattva, Cao Zhang and Cao Cao's recently acquired young general Deng Ai. In the northwest of Sili Prefecture.
Cao Cao used his own power to face the simultaneous attack of Gu Rubing's five powerful generals. Xu Rong was in Youzhou and was still on the way. I believe it won't be long before he reaches this front that stretches for thousands of miles.
Among them, the fight between Ma Chao and Liuzhu Bodhisattva was the most brutal. He is a rare military genius who can defeat more with less.
Moreover, with the addition of Cao Cao's various characteristics, her combat power has far exceeded Xiahou Dun. If she and Xiahou Dun were allowed to fight again at this time, Xiahou Dun might not be able to last long.
At this moment, she and Ma Chao faced each other in the desert again. In the past five days, she and Ma Chao had fought nine times. In nearly two battles a day, several areas of the desert were dyed red with blood. The strength of both sides The more he fights and learns less, Ma Chao has gone from 70,000 cavalry at the beginning to less than 40,000 now, with only about 38,000 men, nearly half of which were lost in battle.
The infantry consisting of 90,000 slaves and 30,000 monks brought by Liuzhu Bodhisattva now only have 40,000 slaves and 25,000 monks left. A total of more than 50,000 battle losses, Ma Chao and Liuzhu Bodhisattva was also injured. Ma Chao was hit on the shoulder by Liuzhu Bodhisattva's rope dart, and Liuzhu Bodhisattva had three ribs broken by Ma Chao's shot. Neither side took advantage of the other.
Today, the two met again in the desert. Ma Chao raised his spear and pointed at the Six-Jead Bodhisattva.
"You little girl, why haven't you gone back to warm Cao Cao's bed? How about that shot that grandpa dumped on you the day before yesterday? How did it taste?"
Ma Chao's words caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers behind him, and Pang De added fuel to the fire behind him.
"I heard that Cao Cao likes wives the most. I wonder if you, old nun, are married? If not, find someone to marry as soon as possible. Cao Cao will like you more then."
The Six-Jead Bodhisattva's skill in cultivating one's character is excellent. When faced with such humiliation from Ma Chao and Pang De, he was not angry, but instead smiled and said.
"You don't have to be quick with your words. Being alive and standing here talking is the greatest victory."
As soon as he said this, Ma Chao's smile froze on his face. Wasn't this clearly mocking Ma Teng? Moreover, Cao Cao was Ma Chao's father-killing enemy. Ma Chao stared at the Six-Jead Bodhisattva, his eyes almost bursting with fire. Liuzhu Bodhisattva just shrugged indifferently, and then raised his fingers at Ma Chao.
"Ah! Kill!"
Ma Chao roared angrily, unable to bear it any longer, he led the cavalry and launched a charge. The sound of the horse's hooves on the ground was like a thunderous drum. The cavalry was like a tidal wave, thinking crazily of the Six-Jead Bodhisattva. Kill the Six-Jead Bodhisattva on the spot.
"Put the hook in!"
Liuzhu Bodhisattva shouted loudly. Her voice may have become a little hoarse due to frequent shouting, but the hoarseness will make her more recognizable. Even if you are on the battlefield, you can easily hear her. if.
Following her order, hundreds of giant crossbows were ready to go behind her. What were mounted on the giant crossbows were not bows and arrows, but sharp half-rings similar to iron rings, shaped like The shape of a horseshoe.
"Ma Chao, try the gift my aunt has prepared for you!"
Hundreds of iron hooks flew out, not flying into the air, but flying close to the ground. When Ma Chao saw the iron hoop, he didn't realize what was going on. The next moment, his mount jumped into the air and avoided the iron hoop. Pang De also escaped, but Ma Dai was not so lucky. The four legs of the war horse under his crotch were directly cut off neatly by the iron hook at the connection between the horseshoes. Thanks to Pang De on the side, he pulled him, otherwise he would have been killed. He was trampled into a pulp by the iron hooves from behind.
"Get out of the way!"
Ma Chao had never seen this kind of weapon before. It actually attacked the horse's legs directly, making the horse unable to run. It was similar to the function of a trip rope, except that one tripped it, while this one cut it off directly.
The iron hook was not stopped until it cut off nearly ten horses. In this single attack, Ma Chao lost nearly a thousand horses. If it weren't for Li Feisha's quick reaction, Ma Chao might not have been able to escape. As a result of falling off his horse, Ma Dai changed his horse and continued to charge.
"Push it to me!"
Ma Chao crossed his legs and flew sand faster and faster. Pang De followed closely behind. The two of them were preparing to approach each other as fast as possible so that the other party could no longer use the mysterious iron ring. The power was so great that it was able to cut off dozens of horse legs before stopping, which set off alarm bells in both of their hearts.
Before that, Liuzhu Bodhisattva also took out their unique golden hook spear in the Western Regions. The spear and sword had a ring, which was specially designed to attack the horse's legs. At that time, Ma Chao had already suffered a loss once, and was defeated by Liuzhu Bodhisattva. Zhu Bodhisattva used the golden hook gun to regain the city. Before that, Ma Chao had always attacked Liu Zhu Bodhisattva, and he was victorious every time. On that one occasion, they were killed by Liu Zhu Bodhisattva with nearly 20,000 riders.
Now, the other party had brought out something like this again. How could Ma Chao not be frightened? Seeing the two approaching, Liuzhu Bodhisattva gave a loud shout.
"Shoot!"
The slave infantrymen standing at the front raised their spears. Even though they were slaves, their combat effectiveness was not weak. The slaves in the Western Regions were responsible for doing coolies. Most of them were very strong. In addition, they Now with Cao Cao's bonus, it is even stronger than before.
Seeing that the other party took out that special spear again, Ma Chao couldn't help but cursed, and then he was about to kill the soldiers, but was stopped by a flying dart. The dart was wrapped around Ma Chao's gun with a rope. Ma Chao He did not try to pull the opponent with brute force. He did try this in the previous fights, but the result was that he was pierced by a dart from the Six-Jead Bodhisattva.
It was then that Ma Chao realized that the bulging circle around Liuzhu Bodhisattva's waist was all made of ropes and darts, allowing Liuzhu Bodhisattva to ensure that he had both ropes and darts in his hands under any circumstances.
Seeing that there was no intention of dragging him, Liuzhu Bodhisattva quickly took out a dagger from his waist, tied it to the end of the rope, and threw it towards Ma Chao. The last time Ma Chao was hit, he used this exact same move. Naturally, he would not be fooled again this time. He casually wrapped the rope dart around his spear, which complemented the dagger tied to the other end.
Ma Chao took action again and did not give Liuzhu Bodhisattva a chance to assemble his weapons. He almost fought in close quarters, but Cao Zhang, who was behind Liuzhu Bodhisattva, shot him on the barrel of his gun. Ma Chao failed to attack Liuzhu Bodhisattva, and Pang De also got close. Come on, yell.
"Cao Gou, your enemy is me, don't try to be cruel!"
Cao Zhang did not dare to be careless. His real strength was not as good as Pound. It was only because Pound was constantly harassed by those soldiers that Cao Zhang had the opportunity to take action.
Cao Cao's newest young player, Deng Ai, fought with Ma Chao's younger brother. The two of them had similar strength and it seemed that no one was worthy of the other.
After they started fighting, the soldiers from both sides also fought together. They had golden hook guns specially designed to hook horses' legs. The combat effectiveness of those slave soldiers was particularly high. At the moment of handover with the cavalry, almost all the cavalry in front of the chicken platoon were Those who were pulled down could continue to fight after falling, but some fell and were caught in the iron hooves. For a moment, they suffered heavy losses. The special weapons made the iron cavalry in the shoes complain endlessly.
But as the soldiers' golden hook spears fell out of their hands, the role of the cavalry was also revealed. When they passed by the enemy's corpses, they would intentionally or unintentionally collect the golden hook spears they dropped, and then carry them on their backs to prevent them from being picked up by the soldiers behind the enemy and then used again.
The Liangzhou battle was the most intense. After Liuzhu Bodhisattva and Ma Chao separated again, Liuzhu Bodhisattva smiled evilly, threw several darts at Ma Chao, and retreated violently at the same time, no longer fighting with Ma Chao, and blew the horn of withdrawal.
Looking at Liuzhu Bodhisattva who was gradually going away, Ma Chao felt particularly uncomfortable. It was the first time he encountered such a fighting method. When fighting with cavalry, he only fought in front, and when the infantry behind was about to get tired, he immediately stopped fighting and let his own people retreat.
Although they could kill a lot of people during the retreat, it was not very useful because the special weapons they used left many people alive but lost their horses. They could only use the cavalry as infantry. It was useless to transfer war horses from the ranch now. There was no time to tame them. Ma Chao would never and would not dare to take untamed horses to the battlefield.
"What was the result of this battle?"
Ma Chao asked Pang De who was standing beside him. Pang De took a glance and roughly estimated.
"We lost about 5,000 cavalry, but only about 2,000 soldiers. The remaining 2,000 horses were killed by the enemy's special weapons."
"What about the enemy?"
"The enemy is about 7,000 people. This time they seized the opportunity better and didn't give us any chance. If this continues, we will be dragged down. That little bitch obviously doesn't treat the soldiers under her as human beings. If this fight continues a few more times, our 70,000 cavalry may only have about 10,000 left."
Pound expressed his concerns. In the past few days, although they killed more enemy troops, the people led by Liuzhu Bodhisattva were more like cannon fodder for the monks behind them. Those monks were the most troublesome.
Once again, they killed their way through the camp of slave soldiers, but ran headfirst into the formation of monks, in which they lost nearly 10,000 cavalry. It was in that battle that they first saw the Golden Hook Spear, a weapon specifically designed to deal with horses, which caused them to suffer a great loss. In the end, they only killed more than 5,000 monks of the other side.
