After the surprise attack in the woods, Ma Chao ordered the cavalry to follow him and Ma Dai first, and Ma Xiu's infantry followed.

Ma Chao urged the Xiliang cavalry, and he galloped forward, hoping to capture it in one fell swoop and rush into the open city gate, so that he would not have to spend all his time attacking the fortified Lingling City.

Ma Chao led ten thousand cavalry and ran quickly. Boundless smoke and dust rose from the ground. The battle flag fluttered in the breeze and made a "plop" sound.

But at this time, Ma Chao was completely wrong. When they rushed out, they saw that there were countless soldiers waiting in front.

Ma Dai urged his horse and asked: "Brother, should we attack from the front, or should we form a formation and wait?"

"Attack it for me."

"yes."

Ma Dai shouted to the messenger next to him: "The whole army is attacking, let me attack and kill them."

The Xiliang cavalry immediately let out a roar.

Ma Chao looked at the battle formation in front. In front were shield soldiers as tall as one person. Each of the shield soldiers held a spear in their hand, and the spear was placed on the shield. Behind the shield soldiers was a row of sword soldiers, and behind them were archers. Finally,

Behind them were the cavalry, and their arrangement was extended to all directions.

This kind of military formation is a new formation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. If they are attacked by enemy soldiers, they will shoot arrows first. After the enemy attacks, they will first use shield soldiers to resist. When their horses fall into the ground, they will fall to the ground.

The soldiers rush out and kill the enemies who have dropped their horses. If the shield soldiers in front are broken, the cavalry will rush up and give the enemies a last ditch effort.

Ma Chao shouted to Ma Dai: "Prepare the javelin."

"yes."

The Jingzhou soldiers on the opposite side were already preparing to draw their bows and load arrows.

Ma Chao led the order: "Strike."

Countless javelins "search, search, search..."

Countless javelins were thrown at the Jingzhou Army. The flying arrows felt like a shower of rain, but the javelins flying away were like black clouds falling down.

After the javelins fell, countless soldiers fell down one after another. Most of the arrow soldiers who were preparing to fire had been hit by these javelins and fell down one after another. Most of the panicked archers did not shoot, but a few

Some soldiers shoot out, even if these designs are out

Most of the bows and arrows were shot out in panic and were not very powerful. Some did not fall into the Xiliang cavalry's horse formation, but fell in front of them. Even if they fell into the horse formation,

It was also very small, only a few soldiers fell off their horses and died, and most of them continued to attack.

The central leader of the Jingzhou soldiers raised the flag again and ordered the archers to raise their bows and fire volleys of arrows again, but the Xiliang cavalry had already reached in front of them.

Ma Chao took the lead and jumped over the tall shield to directly attack their central command captain. Wherever the gun fell, countless soldiers were knocked off their horses. The Xiliang cavalry behind them pulled out their iron chains one after another and pulled out those soldiers.

The shield soldiers fell to the ground, and the Xiliang cavalry who followed them drew out their full-moon scimitars and knocked these soldiers down one after another.

The blade shimmered coldly under the reflection of the sun, and the blood flying from the armor that was constantly being torn dyed those who were slashing red.

The Xiliang cavalry was brave and good at fighting. To deal with these already defeated troops, the Xiliang soldiers were like chopping melons and vegetables. The Jingzhou army could not stop them in an instant and retreated one after another.

But once the Jingzhou soldiers were defeated, they were overtaken by these Xiliang horses and massacred. The blood flowed all the way into a river, and from the air, a piece of red land appeared in the middle of the yellow land.

The horse galloped forward, and with the spear in his hand, he stabbed the slower central command captain from the back of the heart.

The Xiliang army and horses stepped over the flag of the Jingzhou army and continued to move forward.

They attacked Lingling City in one fell swoop.

Liu Biao on the city saw the streaks of smoke and dust, covering the sky with shock, and the smoke rising everywhere...

Liu Biao said with emotion: "The troops are really strong and the horses are strong, and they are invincible in the world. Who is the leading general?"

Chen Zhen replied from the side: "I heard it's Ma Chao."

"Ma Chao? Who is Ma Chao? Why haven't I heard of him?"

Chen Zhen attacked Ma Jiajun directly from the city and said: "That is the son of Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang. In order to obtain the land of Xiliang, Ma Teng gave his eldest son Ma Chao as a hostage to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo arranged for Ma Chao to follow Lu Bu, so he followed him all the time.

Lu Bu, ever since Nie Zefeng became Marquis of Wancheng, he has been following Marquis of Wancheng."

Liu Biao said: "Sir, thanks to your strategy this time, we let Ma Chao easily capture the forest in front, and then asked him to form a proud army. Then Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu's troops returned to support. We advanced the troops below the city, surrounded and annihilated Ma Chao below the city.

."

Chen Zhen hurriedly bowed and said: "Wherever, wherever, this is all under the command of the Lord."

The prefect Liu Du next to him also wanted to flatter him and said with a smile: "We have Mr. Chen Zhen in our Jingzhou army. I think our army will be able to retake the entire territory of Jingzhou and wipe out the whole world."

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Prefect Liu, what you said is absolutely true. When we regain our lost territory, your Lingling soldiers will definitely become the main force of our Jingzhou army."

Liu Biao turned around and asked: "Sir, how do you think we will fight this battle?"

"Lord, I have ordered Zhang Xian to lead a thousand soldiers to guard the top of the mountain. Ma Chao has troops to attack. Within a hundred meters, they will be waiting with bows and arrows. Within ten steps, they will throw down rolling logs and stones. After five days, they will have food and grass.

At the end of the day, we will attack from the east and west and annihilate the Ma Jiajun in one fell swoop."

Liu Biao and Liu Du both laughed and said, "Wonderful plan, wonderful plan."
