Chapter 3496 Ice and Fire(2/3)
...
...
If Ma Yue can not be blinded by the desire to win, then he may be more alert and perhaps nothing will change.
Desire really needs to be controlled so easily, and reason will not be so embarrassing.
When sprinting, the sound is out of control.
At a distance, the sound of the river will help cover up some sounds, but after reaching close distance, these sounds will definitely not be concealed!
So normally, if Cao's army had no preparations and had not expected the Cavalry Army to come, then they would definitely be alarmed by these sounds!
Maybe they would scream, maybe there was a warning, maybe it was some other reaction, rather than being quiet like now, like Cao's army was all asleep!
Unfortunately, this idea just hovered slightly in Ma Yue's mind, and he kicked it out of the sky by himself.
This is like those who have been deceived, or keyboard warriors who always watch, they will think that the scam is so stupid and ridiculous. However, what is even more ridiculous is that such a simple scam that cannot even be self-consistent with logic has caused people to be deceived, and even someone has dissuaded them, and still stepped in without hesitation!
This is how Ma Yue stepped in without hesitation!
He thinks he can win!
If he hadn't felt that way, how could he have called for a military order?
Military orders may not necessarily be beheaded, just like Guan Yu's military orders, but they also represent the courage to bet on ALLIN with everything he has.
I'll see the wrong version one by one!
After winning the game, Ma Yue doubled his original assets!
Not hit...
How could it be missed?
Who would think that he would definitely not win before the lottery draws?
I will definitely not buy it if I don’t win, right?
The cavalry army rushed forward unstoppably along the river!
There are actually opportunities every time, but not everyone can choose the one that is the right one or the one that suffers less. Sometimes the choice that looks good will actually bring more harm.
...
...
The location where Cao's army chose to ambush was actually the place where Zhu Ling planned to ambush Cao's army last time.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it wasn't, but something special.
This mudflat is about a hundred steps wide, but the part close to the river is relatively soft, while the ground near the ground near the earth plateau will be more hard. From the earth plateau, archers can easily cover any corner of this mudflat.
When the Cavalry Army attacked, the side would be directly exposed to Cao's crossbow.
Cao's archers don't even need to aim specifically, they just need to shoot the crossbow out as soon as possible.
If the Cavalry Army wanted to attack Cao's army on the earthen plateau, they could only take a detour because in the area close to the river, there was an erosion structure close to ninety degrees or even greater than ninety degrees. Unless the war horses learned the ability of rock sheep, they would not cause any effective impact and damage to Cao's archers.
Even if the Cavalry Army wanted to detour to attack Cao's army on the earthen plateau, they had to pass through another section of ravine, where there were already four rows of swords, shields, spearmen, and some archers. The ravine was not wide, so Cao Cao only needed to arrange a small number of Cao's soldiers to build a defensive position with a certain depth.
Although time hastily and Cao Cao didn't have time to make more obstacles, he believed that with such a good terrain and such a position, it should be no problem to defeat the attack of the Cavalry...
Moreover, Cao Cao also found the "traces" left by Zhu Ling!
Those are the real "killing weapons"!
Unfortunately, Cao Cao doesn’t have much gunpowder on hand now, so he can only choose one or two places, and the rest can only be sighed.
The sound of war drums finally rang out, and Cao's army from the earthen plateau also began to throw torches under the earthen plateau.
When these torches were thrown down, Ma Yue realized something was wrong...
But just like those people who were trapped in a scam, perhaps when the first money was transferred out, their hearts began to panic, and reason once again reminded them that there was something wrong with this matter, but in many cases, they still couldn't think about it, or even were unwilling to accept this fact, because this meant that their previous investment had completely sunk!
To resist the mentality of sunk costs, you need strong willpower and accurate execution.
Choice is always the most important thing in life.
Especially after becoming a leader, the choice is not only for yourself, but also for the people you follow...
...
...
Arrows roar down!
『Raising the shield——』
Ma Yue shouted.
He already felt something was wrong.
These Cao's arrows came too fast and too neatly!
If it were Cao's shooting in panic, it would have been a bit scattered and would not be so neat...
This means that Cao's army is likely to have prepared for a long time!
However, when the war horse gallops, it cannot stop just by saying that it stops. Moreover, Ma Yue’s rationality is still being pushed to the ground by a guy named “Lucky” to the ground.
At the same time, Ma Yue also discovered that although the arrows of Cao's army were neat, they were not many!
Long before the Ma Yue order, after hearing the sound of arrows and bowstrings, the Hussar cavalry raised the shield in their hands to cover the head of the war horse, their head, face, and neck.
Arrows thrust on shields or armor...
Some muffled groans sounded.
Some people were injured, but not many seemed to be!
This phenomenon made Ma Yue's luck become more and more arrogant, hahaha, trampling his rational face underground again.
"The Cao army has not many arrows! Rush! Rush over!"
The cavalry did not stop, and they accelerated again.
The sound of bows and arrows, horse hooves, war drums, and shouts mixed with the sound of the river flowing, as if it was a sudden symphony of flesh and blood, and the beginning was filled with the smell of blood.
『Back to the earthen plateau!』
Ma Yue shouted.
Ma Yue believed that Cao's archers shooting from top to bottom should have a shooting angle, and when they approach the soil plate, Cao's archers will lose this shooting angle. Moreover, for the cavalry in the queue, they only suffered one side of the shooting, so they need to concentrate on defending Cao's army on one side, and the direction on the river side is safe, which means they still have a chance to rush over!
『Divid one team! Divid one team!』
Ma Yue shouted, "Split a team and rushed to the earthen plateau! Took Cao's army!"
After receiving the order, a military academy in the queue, he whistled without saying a word, and took his men to leave the brigade and circled towards the flank of the earthen plateau.
...
...
Cao Cao watched Ma Yue and others speed up the speed, and then smiled.
The morale of Cao's army was already very low. This ambush was almost the ultimate arrangement by Cao Cao. If Ma Yue immediately risked the war horses being trapped in river mud when he was attacked and turned around on the mudflat, although Cao's army would have gained some, it was obviously not enough to boost Cao's morale.
Cao's army urgently needed a victory.
Then you can retreat calmly.
Victory and retreat, two words that were originally unrelated, are now hooked up.
"The enemy general was reckless."
Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered all the archers to start.
Liu Fu also breathed a long sigh, "The lord is planning and wins a thousand miles..."
"Oh!" Cao Cao stopped Liu Fu's flattery, "Yuan Ying went to the rear camp and arranged the withdrawal of troops... Let the baggage go first... Tell the men that if there is someone here, they will definitely stop the thief army, so there is no need to be surprised!"
Liu Fu gave a deep courtesy, "I obey the order."
Fight here and retreat there.
Cao Cao was very calm. He did not feel that he could do it again because the horse Yue jumped into the trap, and he had the ability to compete with Fei Qian again. Instead, he took advantage of this wave of momentum and immediately prepared to evacuate without any hesitation.
With the order issued, Cao's archers who were originally standing inside the earthen plateau stepped forward and shot wildly at Ma Yue and others!
The powerful crossbow was also raised at the same time, and the cavalrymen below were madly outputting!
The casualties of the Hussar Cavalry soared in an instant!
Moreover, because the cavalry formed a long queue, it almost means that all the Hussars and cavalry passing through the earthen plateau will be forced to be washed by strong bows and crossbows!
The key is that this unfavorable situation was chosen by Ma Yue himself!
If the sword is successful, it will naturally have a huge effect. However, once it is discovered and targeted, the sword with a bias will be extremely weak and fragile!
I don’t know how many times, Ma Yue has changed from secretly to disdain for Pang Tong’s steady strategy, and I don’t know how many times, Ma Yue feels that Pang Tong’s behavior in this or that is simply slow and crazy, and it is simply a missed opportunity for the military!
What else is hesitant about Cao’s army?
To be continued...
