Chapter 1361 Fish and Net

The consequence of Ma Chao's crossing is that the war of this era has been transformed into a standard battle array, the coordination of various arms, and a war mode with high-precision weapons and equipment in just a few years. If anyone recalls it, they can find that if a Ma army is thrown into the era of fighting with a rake at the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Ma army will become a nightmare for all yellow scarf thieves, and it can definitely kill thousands of miles and make the yellow scarf thieves blood into a river.

However, under the stimulation of life and death, people's learning ability is often the strongest. After Guan Yu gave an order, Liu Bei's elite soldiers quickly gathered into a round shield array with harsh standard movements, guarding the spears and crossbow soldiers. Although the flying guns also caused certain casualties, when Ma Chao just invented this kind of war wave attack in the first two years, the enemy army was obviously calmer and stable. Even those new recruits on the battlefield will do the movements integrated into the blood as quickly as possible under the order of the commander.

Therefore, the tactics at this time have gradually begun to fade, and a victory or defeat is often closer to the competition of conspiracy and strategy.

Ma Chao understands this very well, and he also began to change like this. What Liu Bei and others didn't know at all about this time is that just three miles away from the forest behind Li Yan, the camp tents covering the sky were densely, and the layout was like superimposed tight fish scales, which were connected and almost occupied the whole plain.

This kind of fish scale camp is simple to tie. Although it is not strong enough, it is easy to support each other. It can cover the craftsmen to continue to build a slightly forward place, and even repair it to a place that can be seen by the naked eye in one breath. The whole camp is like a mill, which can slowly and powerfully smooth the last drop of blood and grain of the enemy.

Obviously, Ma Chao lay out such a fish-scale camp across the forest, obviously to fight a war of attrition with Liu Bei's army. Let Liu Bei's army stop here and can't move forward for half an inch.

Poor Liu Bei and Guan Yu thought that they could be safe and sound just by defeating Li Yan. They didn't know that they had stepped into the ghost gate.

"Kill!"

This era is still the era of heroes, although the cooperation of arms has greatly reduced the charm and influence of super-war generals. But first-class and outstanding generals are often not just superior in force. Their greatest ability is to integrate their character into an army.

What protects Liu Bei this time is not the Chen to Baier Army, which is well-rounded in attack and defense, nor Zhang Fei's black cavalry army with breakthrough ability, but Guan Yu's personal defense infantry. This army is completely the same as Guan Yu, with extraordinary arrogance and long endurance like a long river, sun and moon. Under the leadership of the long-bearded general in the green robe, they either rushed forward like the Yangtze River, or defended like Mount Tai. In the face of almost double the Ma cavalry, their infantry dragged the cavalry into a puddle with a unique method of warfare.

And, there is no doubt that Guan Yu is still the most conspicuous in this battle. At this moment, the cold saw in his hand waved like flying, and there was always a sense of pride, a sense of oppression. The kind of arrogance experienced from countless killing battlefields and condensed only by real masters fills the whole battlefield. It made him and his subordinates fight in a clever atmosphere, turning over Li Yan's military array like a plow to open the soil.

At this time, Li Yan can no longer say anything 'brave and unreeded'. He broke forward and wanted to fight with Guan Yu, but after only supporting less than ten rounds, he found that it was difficult to avoid the rolling killing move in Guan Yu's hand without cooperating with the guards around him. The feeling of struggling in the wind and waves made Li Yan's back sweat coldly.

Liu Bei did not go to the battlefield in person. He just looked at all this indifferently as Zhuge Liang. Just watch his second brother Guan Yu roll into a whirlpool in this battle and rush back and forth on the battlefield. Looking at where Guan Yu and his subordinates rushed to, there was a place of death. Watching Ma's army's weapons and their masters being cut into pieces by the Qinglong Yanyue knife, flying around like straw.

Of course, in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is still a nightmare on the battlefield. Although Guan Yu struggled to drag the Ma family's iron horse into the quagmire of infantry, he maintained a temporary undefeated situation. At this time, Li Yan was only stunned by the amazing combat effectiveness of Guan Yu and his subordinates. Once he reacted and organized two rounds of rushing, Liu Bei's 3,000 infantry could not escape the fate of being annihilated.

However, Liu Bei is not worried about this. Because he knew that Li Yan's false report might confuse the generals he brought from Sichuan this time, even Zhang Ren, who was highly valued by Liu Bei. However, there are still several troops that are unlikely to be affected by these false reports.

Sure enough, just as Li Yan had begun to change his tactics, slowly collected the iron horse and prepared to charge again and crush Guan Yu's infantry array fiercely. A close guard looked into the distance and opened his mouth to report to Liu Bei, "Master, the dust in the back is rising."

"Li Yan has been defeated." Liu Bei smiled and looked back. Under the sun, a cavalry came as dazzling as a banner.

Zhang Fei is coming! His black cavalry is coming! Liu Bei's command specially imitated the Ma family's iron cavalry and created the only cavalry that can be an enemy for the Ma family's iron cavalry!

"The thief is not going to hurt my big brother!!" Before the people arrived, Zhang Fei's loud voice had frightened the whole battlefield. Then, he seemed to see the situation on the battlefield and asked Liu Bei, "Brother, are you all right?"

"It's all over, third brother, destroy this self-evageable Li Yan!" Liu Bei responded loudly and did not mind revealing his middle position. Because he had long known that the false plan could not deceive Zhang Fei.

It's not because Zhang Fei is more intelligent than those Xichuan generals, but that Zhang Fei will not compare the lives of Xichuan and Liu Bei on a balance at all. Without comparison, naturally there will be no hesitation, so he will not even think about it and will only choose to come directly to rescue Liu Bei.

Sometimes, tricks can't hide from people. Zhang Fei can be called a wise man.

With the addition of Zhang Fei's black cavalry, Li Yan's attack immediately fell into trouble. Zhang Fei has a similar mystery with Ma Chao in cavalry attainments. Although they have completely different personalities, they are both proud sons on the battlefield. They have an outstanding sense of smell and strong force, and they can face the enemy. With intuition, when to attack and when not to attack, you can easily grasp the fleeting weak link of the enemy, jump up, tear it apart, expand it, defeat it, and make the advantage of the enemy's overall strength disappear.

What's more, Li Yan's advantages are not obvious. Therefore, when joining a powerful cavalry that can always sprint with spears, Li Yan's army is like a shrimp pierced by the abdomen, which is painful. In particular, Zhang Fei, who was cone-headed, danced the eight-foot snake spear in his hand like a black dragon. Among the broken limbs and arms, it turned out to be the loyalty of the Ma warriors.

"What?" Seeing the situation on the battlefield change, Zhuge Liang, who had always been silent, not only did not have much joy, but also had a little more doubts.

"Military, what's wrong?" Liu Bei held two swords in his hand and watched his second brother and third brother enter the sheep like tigers on the battlefield. He couldn't help but have the impulse to fight in person.

"Li Yan is not a stupid general. Why did he have no intention of retreating at this point?" Zhuge Liang looked at Li Yan, who was gradually surrounded by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and was very puzzled: "When the third general came, Li Yan could not do anything. With the power of the cavalry, he could completely escape from this battlefield. But why didn't he retreat when his whole army was about to be destroyed?

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei also felt something was wrong. He seemed to feel something and put his eyes in the woods behind Li Yan.

At this time, Ma Chao held a tiger charm in the middle army's tent and smiled slightly: "Since there is another big fish biting hook, don't let him come here for nothing. Zhang Fei brought 10,000 black cavalry, and Ma Dai and Ma Xiu, you two will bring another 20,000 infantry to make up for the big net for me!"
