Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

The 30,000 Western Region Allied Forces took 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and the following infantry formed a square formation and pressed forward step by step towards the Shu army.

Under the gloomy sky, the murderous atmosphere on the battlefield was so oppressive that it made people want to go crazy.

"The distance is enough! Fire the arrow!" Ma Su gave a thumbs up, visually measured the distance to the enemy vanguard, and immediately ordered.

"There are enough arrows, feel free to use them! Let these rebels from the Western Regions know how powerful our powerful crossbows are!"

After receiving Ma Su's order, the Shu army quickly changed its formation. The crossbowmen took over from the shield bearers and appeared at the front of the military formation, while the archers raised their bows and arrows in the middle.

The crossbowmen lined up in front of the formation, aimed at the Western Region cavalry charging at full speed, and pulled the trigger. A row of crossbow arrows were shot out in unison, shooting towards the enemy in front.

Compared to archers, crossbowmen have lower shooting frequency and range. However, his efficient lethality and accuracy against cavalry are unmatched by archers.

A round of crossbow arrows shot out, and the Western Region cavalry at the front was immediately shot down. Countless cavalrymen were directly shot into sieves by high-density crossbow arrows, including men and horses, and fell to the ground.

However, the cavalry behind them were not affected much at all. Their speed only dropped a little, and they quickly stepped on the corpses of the soldiers in front and continued to press forward.

But in just a few breaths, the second round of crossbow arrows came towards him.

At this moment, Zhuge Liannu, the latest armed force of the Shu Han Dynasty, officially showed his power. The cavalry from the Western Regions, which came in a frontal attack, encountered a head-on attack and were directly stunned.

Although some people may think that anti-personnel weapons such as repeating crossbows are too cruel, we call them efficient.

But after all, it was the regular army of the Western Regions that had been trained by Sima Yi for many years. Under the combined fire of bows, arrows and repeating crossbows, the Western Regions Allied Forces did not stop.

After some commotion, the Western Region Allied Forces quickly adjusted their formation. The cavalry dispersed and replaced by infantry holding shields and marching forward.

"It seems that we can't drive them back with these alone." Ma Di narrowed his eyes and said, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand.

"A fierce battle is still inevitable."

Although the Shu army's crossbows and arrows were very lethal, in the final analysis they only numbered 5,000 men. Facing the methodical pressure of 30,000 people, it was still impossible to completely stop them.

When the army rushed to about a hundred steps, the Shu army's formation changed again. The crossbowmen quickly withdrew, and the shield bearers and spearmen came into battle and began to resist the enemy head on.

It has to be said that the Shu army may be the best army in military formations in this era.

Because there was a lack of cavalry at the beginning, Zhuge Liang strongly advocated training in military formation changes. Basically, every soldier who participated in the Northern Expedition needed to undergo a long period of training in the military formation.

However, the effect is remarkable. When the enemy is approaching, the Shu army can change its military formation extremely calmly. Moreover, they can also successfully set up the military formation before engaging the enemy.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Soldiers from both sides finally met, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the battlefield in an instant.

The troops of the Western Region Allied Forces relied on their large number of troops and directly used a square formation to force the Shu army in front of the formation. The soldiers in front of the Shu army resisted with shields, and spears were thrust out from the gaps in the shields to kill the enemy.

The two sides fought fiercely on a small battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides tried their best to slash their weapons at the enemy. Blood splattered everywhere, and in an instant the ground was covered with bloody corpses.

The military formations of both sides interacted, and the enemy's contact range began to expand rapidly.

Because the troops were at a disadvantage, the Shu army's front line began to be forced back. The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time behind quickly rushed forward and took over the sword and shield bearers to fight with the soldiers from the Western Regions.

The battlefield quickly expanded to Ma Su's position, and Yao Hu began to become nervous at this time.

"General! You'd better go to the Central Army, it's too dangerous here." Yao Hu followed Ma Su, admonishing him with the same worry as when he was at the street pavilion.

After all, Ma Su is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If something happens to him, the morale of the Shu army will be in danger.

"It's so dangerous! If I weren't here, how could the five thousand of us withstand the frontal impact of thirty thousand?" Ma Di snorted coldly, pulled out his sword high-spirited, and said resolutely.

"As a general, only by going to the front line in person, fighting side by side with the soldiers, and fighting bloody battles can you boost morale and defeat the enemy!"

Ma Su was confident at this time, so he dared to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies and stay at the front to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, if Heaven really allowed him to die so easily, he wouldn't be alive now.

The Shu army now has few soldiers, so it needs to mobilize all its strength to resist at the right time. It is the time when morale is needed. If Ma Su retreats at this time, I am afraid that the Shu army's front will soon be unable to withstand it.

Therefore, Ma Su advanced instead of retreating. When Yao Hu had no time to stop him, he drew his sword and rushed forward with his bodyguard.

When Ma Di's military flag appeared on the front line, and when Ma Di's armor with two eyes appeared, the morale of the Shu army was boosted.

"General Fuguo is here!"

"General, fight with us!"

"Fight for the big man!"

These soldiers who are fighting bloody battles are all Yizhou people. In fact, they don't know Ma Su very well. But when a world-famous leader personally kills the enemy with you, everyone will be inspired.

And it seems that this leader is more enthusiastic about killing than you.

Ma Di drew his sword and rushed into the battlefield, just like a catfish diving into a loach pit. As long as he faced his Western Region soldiers, he would be knocked down in less than three rounds.

After all, Ma Su was a scholar after all, and the scholar-bureaucrats of this era all believed in Gongyang Confucianism.

He picks up a knife to fight if he doesn't agree with you, and he won't be reasonable with you at all.

Although Ma Su quickly lost his job in the melee, he didn't care at all.

Just kill and that's it!

Ma Su personally visited the battlefield and fought bloody battles with the soldiers, successfully allowing the Shu army to withstand the full impact of the Western Region Allied Forces from the front.

Outside the battlefield, the cavalry on both sides of the Shu army also appeared like ghosts on both sides of the Western Region Allied Forces.

The Western Region Allied Forces relied on their large number of troops, and the infantry always pressed forward in a square formation. However, its cavalry was unfavorable in the first battle and did not provide cover for both sides of the infantry phalanx, giving the Shu army's cavalry a chance.

"Children of the Western Regions, do you know Tianshui Jiang Boyue?" Jiang Wei personally wore armor and swords, led two thousand cavalry and suddenly rushed out from the left wing, like a scimitar, piercing the center of the Western Regions soldiers and horses.

"The rebels in the Western Regions, I am Shu Jiye, the general of the Han Dynasty!" Shu Jiye also led his troops to attack from the side, echoing Jiang Weiyuan.

The cavalry of the Shu army on both sides suddenly broke in, causing the Chinese army of the Western Regions Allied Forces to suddenly burst into chaos, and the commander of the Chinese army suddenly panicked.

Where did the Shu army cavalry pop up from? How should we deal with this?

Sima Governor didn’t teach us either!

"The enemy general should not leave, let me, Jiang Boyue, take your head!" Jiang Wei rushed in with his horse, and when he saw the enemy's commander's flag, he suddenly charged forward.

Shu Ji originally rushed faster than Jiang Wei, but after seeing Jiang Wei's eagerness to make meritorious deeds, this former leader of the Eastern Qiang who had learned a lot about the world wisely slowed down his pace.

When Shu Ji deliberately gave in, Jiang Wei was unstoppable and rushed all the way to the enemy's commander's flag.

"Take your life!"

The last exam is tomorrow. After taking the exam, Shuzhong will be light-hearted. Let’s start the debt repayment journey then.

By the way, how many chapters does Shuzhong owe?
