Chapter 1218 Breaking Through the Camp
Ma Chao finally ordered the Roman army around him to attack.
He didn't expect that it took Zhang Yu and the others more than an hour to attack the guardrail of their barracks.
There are three lines of defense inside and outside the barracks. The first two lines are relatively easy, but the third line is already close to the core of the barracks and is very important. At this time, Zhang Yu and the others hit the third line.
This is what Ma Chao is most afraid of.
Zhang Liao's tactics are very simple. He uses a lot of heavy shields taller than one man to advance slowly, followed by a large number of archers.
Zhang Yu's archers never cherish their arrows, they just use the most fierce way to advance.
Push, push, keep pushing, it's good for the enemy to come out, if you don't dare to come out, then go directly to their barracks.
"Ready to attack."
Seeing that the Roman army was leaving, Zhang Yu and the others began to prepare.
The army began to spread out, forming an attack formation.
Ma Chao was a little nervous. At this time, they were about to face siege from all sides.
Zhang Yu dispersed the army and formed a battle formation, and several generals also stepped forward to prepare for the attack.
"Gao Shun."
"The end will be here."
"This time you come to lead the battle. Just charge forward. There will be archers on both sides to cooperate with you. You can also arrange archers in your formation. When you open the gap, I will personally lead the troops to attack." Zhang Yu said.
Gao Shun was very calm, received the order, and then began to prepare.
After some preparations, Gao Shun began to attack.
"Trap into camp, attack."
The trapped camp started to attack. The speed was not fast, but the heavy armor was very textured. When the army gathered, it gave people a lot of pressure.
At this time, Ma Chao ordered his own army to form a dense array, ready to deal with it.
"kill."
Gao Shun attacked all the way, not very fast but unstoppable.
Go forward Gao Shun,
Heavy armor can defend against the attacks of many arrows, and many arrows cannot penetrate their heavy armor.
With heavy armor defense, the attack goes smoothly.
There were archers on both sides advancing against the rain of arrows to support Gao Shun.
Gao Shun and the others rushed to the gate of the barracks, where the distance was close, and the opponent's bow and arrow could already hurt them, but they still had shields, so the casualties were very small.
Someone in front held a shield to block most of the attacks, and the archers on both sides also put a lot of pressure on the enemy.
Ma Chao was a little nervous. He was short of troops now, and he had already sent the Roman army to deal with Zhang Liao. If he didn't stop Zhang Liao, he might break the barracks.
"The generals are ready."
Seeing that the situation was a little dangerous, Ma Chao decided to go out in person to get all the generals ready.
But the situation is not that bad, the defense they have set up is still effective and can defend them for a long time.
"Trap into camp, kill."
When he reached the gate of the barracks, Gao Shun suddenly commanded the army to attack, and the slow speed before suddenly accelerated.
Ma Chao would never know that the morale of his army would drop rapidly in just two or three months.
On the side dealing with Zhang Liao, the Roman army helped out, and the morale of the army was relatively high, blocking Zhang Liao's attack.
But on the other two sides, there were signs of collapse, and the army had no will to fight.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Ma Chao originally led his troops to block Zhang Yu, but not long after, soldiers from other directions came to report and told him that he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Be sure to hold on, and the Roman army will come to support you later."
"The camp cannot be breached."
Ma Chao was very anxious, wishing he could personally lead his troops to support him, but Zhang Yu was in front of him, and if he walked away, no one could stop him.
Ma Chao sent out the reserve army in the general camp. He did not expect that he would use the mountain to prepare the army so soon.
Zhang Yu's army continued to attack violently, even if the enemy's reinforcements arrived, even if the casualties were heavy.
Zhang Yu has already started the final battle, and started to fight Ma Teng and the others. Once it is started, it will not stop until the end.
Huang Zhong and Huang Xu kept charging with heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry directly smashed through the defense facilities of the general camp.
Ma Chao's side was under tremendous pressure, and their morale plummeted rapidly.
"The Roman army will die, let alone us."
"This Great Tang army is not even afraid of devils."
"No, my dad said, it's wrong to help the devil."
The morale of these soldiers has long been disintegrated a lot, and now they are under great pressure, and they can't stand it immediately.
On Gao Shun's side, the army charged forward and killed Ma Chao and the others.
Although Gao Shun's sudden attack caused heavy casualties, it was not insignificant. It directly messed them up a bit.
The archers behind also took the opportunity to press up.
"Archer, fight back quickly."
"Attack, attack."
Ma Chao commanded the army, and his own archers stepped forward to speed up the attack.
It worked, but the ending wasn't what they wanted.
On Zhang Yu's side, the soldiers were not afraid of death, and shot at them abruptly.
The conditions of both sides are similar, and what is fighting now is courage.
Zhang Yu's army is full of courage.
Shoot at the enemy, and after a while they have the upper hand.
On Ma Chao's side, the morale was affected, and they immediately became sluggish. The archers counterattacked slowly, and even lost to Datang's side, and were beaten back.
"Come back and continue to attack."
"Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."
Ma Chao was out of breath, and his own bow and arrow was hit.
This was intolerable to him, so he asked the soldiers to continue to come up.
Under strong pressure, the soldiers stepped forward to continue fighting.
But in the face of strong firepower, they retreated again.
Ma Chao was in a hurry, and the other armies did not have the cover of the archers, which led to an increase in casualties, a decline in morale, and some problems in the army formation.
"Follow me to kill."
No way, Ma Chao committed suicide again with a gun.
Gao Shun's formation is very effective, advancing steadily, but at a very slow speed, the enemy can't stop it at all.
Ma Chao committed suicide by himself, and immediately fell into the shield formation. The heavy infantry defended each other. Ma Chao dealt with several heavy infantry by himself.
There is nothing the other generals and soldiers can do.
The battle lasts from morning to noon. In this case, people are easily tired and hungry.
During the rotation of Zhang Yu's army, many soldiers stuffed a few mouthfuls of dry food and continued to support themselves.
The same goes for enemy soldiers, only they have fewer troops and less time to rest and eat.
After playing for a long time, there has been great progress in several directions.
Huang Zhong went directly to the inside of the barracks.
"The whole army assaults and kills directly."
"Breakthrough."
"The camp was breached by us."
The soldiers began to shout, and the loud shouts made people feel closer.
The morale of the enemies on the other two sides suddenly plummeted. Some highly nervous soldiers squatted down and cried loudly, and some threw away their weapons and fled.
This is a real defeat.
The momentum was suppressed, and Huang Zhong and his tens of thousands of heavy cavalry began to charge.
Like a rolling torrent, this time it cannot be stopped.
