Chapter 119 Practical Application of Art of War 5

On the branches of the moon, the dark clouds in the sky are sleeping. Occasionally, a few naughty stars emit a blink-like light, but the hazy light like a firefly is instantly covered by the slowly drifting dark clouds.

Ma Chao is very satisfied with such a night. For him, this night is just right: the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is just right to kill people.

"If you fight with the enemy during the day, you must set up more banners as suspects. If you fight with the enemy at night, you must set up torches as suspects. So that the enemy can't measure its number. Law says: There are many flags in the day battle, and there are many torches in the night battle"

Ma Chao arranged his more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry to tie the unlighted torches to branches or find a wooden stake. In addition to those who beat gongs and drums, everyone must also take two torches to listen to the movement in the city.

At the gate, the thief finally came out, and Ma Chao's eyes were dazzling, but he was still. More than a thousand soldiers in Xiliang are like statues, and even their breaths are hidden.

Ma Chao was greatly comforted: This more than a month of training has finally made these veterans have some prototypes of iron-blooded divisions.

After a long time, a rocket finally shot out of the sky, and the firelight immediately made the stars in the sky a little ashamed.

The horse waved his super-large hand, and more than a thousand veterans immediately ignited the torches and those false torches in their hands. And the hundred people in front of him immediately dispersed to various places, beating gongs and drums. For a while, there was a loud noise in Xinping County, which shocked the few thieves left in the city.

"It's amazing... Xiliang Iron Rider is coming..." Xiao Tian's shout made his voice hoarse, and his loud voice could almost come out more than a miles away. As he shouted, he threw oil bottles into the thieves camp, and then fired a rocket, immediately making the whole bandit camp on fire. The fire spread quickly.

Until those thieves didn't react, Xiao Tian took the shadow that had sneaked into Xinping County more than ten months ago and rushed to the gate: "No, Xiliang Jinma Chao came over! Our leader was killed, the camp was on fire, and Xinping County was about to be broken!"

There were originally hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate, but they were selected to take away almost all the people and horses. At this time, there were only seven or eight thieves left to guard them. Seeing Xiao Tian so panicked, he really thought that the Xiliang iron cavalry was under the city and was in great trouble!

"You are presumptuous and disturb the military. I think you are tired of living!" Among the thieves guarding the gate, there are also several veterans. If you don't want to, just rush to save the army's heart. But when those people ran in front of them, their faces changed.

Xiao Tian suddenly pulled out a crossbow from his waist and shot at the veterans. How did the veteran dodge in time at night? He was immediately shot upside down, and then he was solved by Xiao Tian with a knife.

"Open the gate and welcome the young master into the city!" Xiao Tian raised his arms and shouted, commanding the shadows to pull up the iron rope and open the gate.

The thieves were so hungry that their eyes turned green, and they only relied on sleeping to maintain their physical strength. At this moment, they heard the shouting of the city and saw the fire in the camp... Naked Luo crawled out of the quilt, no matter whose clothes it was, he casually wrapped it, and panicked and fled everywhere.

Ma Chao was not impatient at this time. Instead, he let his cavalry run around, shaking the torch and pretending to attack the invasion, waiting for Xiao Tian to open all the gates.

Not only that, Ma Chao also prepared a lot of oil bottles and rockets this time, which specially set fire everywhere on the city wall, making the thief think that the Xiliang iron cavalry had been burned, killed and plundered.

"In!" Ma Chao's arrow was like a meteor, shooting down a thief who was caught off guard. Moreover, every time an arrow is shot, it has to be changed, and so does the guards under his command, lest the enemy calm down and find that there are only a thousand of them. Because this time Ma Chao said very clearly, he went into battle lightly, focusing on sneak attacks, assassinations, and bluffing to scare away the thieves.

The horse died amazingly. How did the untrained thieves know what had happened? They all thought that Xiliang Iron Riders really besieged and suppressed them. For a moment, all the unpleasant words that cried and cursed the world popped out of his mouth. They picked up the blades and valuables and ran to the place where there were few torches, hoping to escape from the weakness of the Xiliang iron horse attack.

"Any way of siege, surrounded by its four sides, must open a corner to show the way of life, so that the enemy's war is not strong, the city can be pulled out and the army can be broken. Fa said: There must be a shortage of surrounding teachers.

Ma Chao and others brought a lot of torches, but most of them were arranged on three sides, and most of them set fire and shot cold arrows on these three sides, deliberately leaving a good way to escape for the thieves. Of course, there are neither Xiliang iron riders nor obstacles on that easy way, but only Northern County soldiers who have been waiting for more than 10,000.

The fire soared into the sky, and the thieves had already fled around like frightened mice. When they saw that there was little movement on the west side of the gate, they fled to the west gate. At this time, Xiao Tian also opened three gates in the chaos, fired a rocket into the air, and then led the shadow troops to escape into the shop, took off his night clothes, and closed the door of the store and trembled inside like a frightened vendor...

After Ma Chao saw that Nadi's two rockets were finally launched, he immediately ordered the Xiliang iron riders at the three gates to urge the horses to enter the gate. For a while, the suppressed bloodthirsty breath suddenly burst out, and the Xiliang iron horse suddenly turned into a night demon, driving the invincible dream horse, raging like a hurricane in the city, driving those soulless thieves to the west gate like driving sheep.

Ma Chao was the first, but he did not test his martial arts in this battle. After all, there is no one worthy of his action. But after this war, he suddenly felt that his 'heart of control' was more solid. For the control of the battlefield, the use of strategies, the choice of timing, and more importantly, the beginning and end of the whole war, we have a clearer understanding.

He was extremely happy, and Ma Chao couldn't wait to turn these perceptions into instincts to stay in his blood. But the battle continued, so he had to rush up and saw the fleeing thief and kill him without mercy. He was simply a murderous ancestor and a demon king in the world.

Although those thieves are all adults, when it comes to bravery, where is Ma Chao's opponent? What's more, most of them are riding enemies at this time to deal with Xiliang Iron Riders, which are countless points weak in terms of momentum, strength, morale, courage and technology. When the pawn resisted, he saw flesh and blood flying, and the cold light flashed. When someone's head fell to the ground, he found that it was not someone else who died, but himself.

And in the end, it was Pound, Brother Chou and Ma Dai who led the extermination of the Xiliang iron horse and joined the pursuit together, especially Ma Dai, who picked the candidate's head, who was crazy and chased the poor bandits.

This battle was only killed on the west side of the Avenue Official Road, and it was not over until it was faintly seen that You Chu captured the prisoners with a net rope in front of him.

And at this time, the sky has gradually begun to brighten. Ma Chao looked at the rising sunrise in the east and felt that the sunrise rendered the golden line of the clouds, which was much softer than the tragic sunrise he saw in Fufeng County.
