Chapter 330 Kill him with a sniper

Ma Di had never thought that Man Chong would dare to come. His courage was extraordinary. As for the assault by armored cavalry, no one knows how to deal with it so far.

Unless you also send out more heavy infantry, and then form a dense phalanx in front, it is possible to block it. Ordinary archers and spearmen were nothing more than toys for rubbing against heavy cavalry.

You know, when the armored cavalry came back from a charge a few days ago, several of the cavalry had more than a dozen arrows on them. It looks like a hedgehog from the outside, but it only suffered minor injuries.

This is the dominance of heavy cavalry in battle, which is basically unsolvable now. Ma Su also didn't understand where Man Chong got the courage to attack the city again.

However, since Man Chong once again led an army to besiege the city, Ma Di naturally had to fight. General Han Zhengbei then deployed Han soldiers to the top of the city to prepare for the arrival of the Wei army.

Outside Kunyang City, Manchong once again dispatched an army of 50,000 troops, surrounding Kunyang City on all sides. A large number of rebuilt siege equipment were rolled out by the Wei army, preparing to launch another offensive.

However, this time Man Chong did not rely on his strength, but feinted on three sides and made the main attack on one side. Man Chong personally took command in the main offensive direction and directed the Wei army officers to launch an attack on the head of Kunyang City.

This time, the Wei army's formation was rearranged by Man Chong. At the front is a phalanx of heavily armed infantry, guarding the siege equipment moving forward. But in the central army, they were favored and hid more than a thousand strong crossbowmen. At the same time, they prepared a lot of snagging ropes and other things.

"Ma Su...send out your heavy cavalry quickly, let me see with my own eyes how your heavy cavalry is doing!" Man Chong's eyes were full of red threads, and he felt as if he was being tortured. However, he still insisted on directing the Wei army's formation and even went to the front line himself.

No way, Man Chong really couldn't remember what was so special about the Han army's armored cavalry. I thought about it for so many days and discussed it with the generals, but no one saw it.

With no other choice, Man Chong finally made the decision to launch another siege to attract the Shu army to release their heavy cavalry.

Although Man Chong didn't know how to stop this group of heavy cavalry, as long as he could kill a Shu army's armored cavalry, he would be able to fully understand what the Shu army's black technology was.

This time, Man Chong planned to sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers in exchange for this secret of the Shu army!

So Man Chong put up such a formation, basically throwing a large number of infantry at the front to die. And he himself went to the front line with the commander's flag and personally acted as a bait to attract the Shu army's cavalry.

The Chinese army set up an anti-cavalry formation. There was no need to block the Shu army's cavalry. It only needed to kill or capture one to win!

But, Man Chong's calculation was quite good, but Ma Su didn't play his cards according to his ideas this time.

"General, let Long Wuyi Cong come up! This time we will definitely be able to send Man Chong's head up!" Long Wuyi Cong's five hundred cavalry generals asked Ma Su for advice one after another, and each of them was eager to fight.

Although this heavy armor is very tiring to wear in battle, it is really useful. This group of veterans, who had been with Ma Su for four years, could rush into battle so brainlessly for the first time.

"Stay aside for now! Now is not the time to rush into the formation." Ma Di waved his hand and gave up the idea of ​​repeating his old tricks with just one glance at the Wei army's formation.

"It can be seen from this military formation that Man Chong's target is our army's Longwu Yicong. The front army is dying, and the Chinese army is hiding a big killer weapon to calculate the armored cavalry..."

"Isn't this purpose too obvious? Man Chong really doesn't hide his thoughts at all."

Obviously Ma Di is not an idiot, at least his level of military skills is even higher than Man Chong. With the arrangement of Man Chong, Ma Su, a veteran for many years, could see the purpose at a glance.

In this case, Ma Su would only let the armored cavalry go out if he lost his mind.

At worst, let's grind meat at the head of Kunyang City. I have the advantage of city defense. Am I still afraid of you? Anyway, as long as my armored cavalry doesn't show up, you will never dare to attack the city with all its strength.

"Ask Ma Zhong to come over and defend the city with me. Let's meet these Wei people on the top of the city."

Ma Su directly called Ma Zhong over and quickly deployed the defensive forces. Five thousand soldiers of the Han army were deployed by Ma Su on the top of the city, and all the crossbows and crossbows were ready.

If you can, come and attack the city!

Man Chong directed the Wei army to advance slowly, ready to deal with the heavy cavalry of the Shu army that might attack at any time. But until the vanguard had pushed to the foot of Kunyang City, the armored cavalry Man Chong was waiting for did not appear at all.

What greeted the Wei army was a rain of arrows like locusts on top of Kunyang City.

The vanguard Wei army was originally equipped with armored cavalry, but the cavalry did not wait, but instead waited for the Han army's arrows. Many uncovered Wei soldiers were shot to death, and the marching speed dropped a lot.

"Captain! It seems that the Shu army was not fooled. They do not plan to send out the heavy cavalry at this time..." Lieutenant General Man Chong reported carefully.

"You don't need to tell me, I can see it!" Man Chong's face was a bit ugly, and his eyes were filled with displeasure.

"Ma Di is also a general of Western Shu, and he does have some eyesight. It will be very troublesome to deceive him. If you don't pay a price, I'm afraid I won't be able to lure the heavy cavalry of the Shu army."

"Captain, what you mean is..."

"Attack the city!" Man Chong ordered,

"Attack the entire army! Launch an attack on Kunyang! Since Ma Su is cautious, let's let him see the opportunity!"

"Never mind the losses, as long as we can draw out the heavy cavalry of the Shu army, everything will be worth it! If we can defeat that heavy cavalry, the remaining Kunyang defenders will not be a worry!"

Man Chong's decision was made, and the Wei army officers and soldiers had to start an offensive against Kunyang.

Cloud ladders, flying ladders, arrow towers and other siege equipment were put into battle one after another. The heavily armed Wei army officers attacked the city of Kunyang, and the offensive and defensive battle of Kunyang began.

Although the Huainan Wei army could not defeat the armored cavalry, it did not mean that their level was not good. These Huainan soldiers who have been fighting on the border all year round are top-notch in terms of armor and training.

The two sides began to fight fiercely at the foot of Kunyang City, on the city walls and on the top of the city. Soldiers kept falling, and soldiers kept filling in.

Corpses fell like dumplings from the top of Kunyang City.

However, because of the presence of the Han army's armored cavalry, the Wei army has never dared to launch an attack with all its strength. As for the Han army, from the very beginning of the battle, Ma Di came to the front line in person and led Ma Zhong to the front.

If one side is timid and the other side is united in fighting with you, the outcome will naturally go without saying. Man Chong launched a siege for several days, but made no progress at all and instead lost troops and generals.

Man Chong was very anxious about this, but Ma Su was unable to make any move, leaving him with nothing to do.

On the fifth day of the siege, Man Chong took the handsome flag to the front army in person. Out of the range of the Han army's crossbows, Man Chong took the initiative to show up and take command, intending to use himself as bait to lure the Shu army's heavy cavalry to attack.

As long as you come out, nothing will be a problem.

The appearance of Man Chong did attract Ma Su's attention and made Ma Su think about it. However, this idea was different from what Man Chong thought, because Ma Di immediately called Ma Zhong out.

"Have you seen that the governor of Huainan in the Puppet Wei Dynasty is full of favors? Go and drag out the Eight Ox Crossbow for me, and kill this Lao Deng for me!"
