Deng Fan, as the most understanding and sophisticated general in the Shu Han Dynasty today, had a great realization in an instant after Ma Su casually assigned him to be responsible for the useless flying army.

He realized it!

The general gave me and Jiang Wei a chance to show off, and he personally sat in the middle of the army to hold us back. He even thought that the hint was not enough, so he directly gave it to Wudang Feijun.

A glimmer of light quickly flashed in Deng Fan's eyes, and he already had a new idea in his mind.

Ma Su didn't pay attention to this. He had already begun to tense up and prepare to command the battle.

There are about 3,000 Wei troops under Xiaoguan City. The infantry is heavily armored and the cavalry is light armor. The military formations are mixed together. In Ma Su's opinion, if it was just an armored cavalry charge, it would be easy to get trapped.

But the problem is that Ma Su still has 3,000 light cavalry, and the total force is more than the Wei army. Although Xiaoguan Road is narrow, it is not so narrow that Ma Su's army cannot deploy.

This is where Ma Su feels something is wrong. There is basically no other possibility except delaying time and waiting for death. After all, Xiahou Ba is also a famous general. He can't be compared to Sima Zhao, right?

Therefore, Ma Su can be sure that there is definitely something wrong with Xiahou Ba. And it is very possible that he is not targeting the armored cavalry, but the light cavalry.

After Ma Su's deployment, the Han army had arrived at Xiaoguan City. The soldiers and horses of both sides were already looking at each other from a distance, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became tense in an instant.

"Generals, follow me..." Jiang Wei couldn't help but be excited when he saw such a scene and then looked at the armored cavalry under his command that were armed to the teeth.

But just when he was about to give the order for the armored cavalry to charge with him, he was suddenly pulled by a cavalry general behind him.

"Hey, General Jiang, I want to ask, do we have to be behind you like we follow General Shenwei when we charge?"

Although this group of Longwu rebels has absorbed many cavalry from other places, the backbone of the cavalry is still the same group of veterans that Ma Su recruited in Longyou. So even though Ma Su is now promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry, these cavalry generals are still accustomed to calling Ma Su General Shenwei.

Jiang Wei was Ma Su's old subordinate, and he had already seen how much fun these veterans of the cavalry general's headquarters had in fighting. So he immediately said categorically,

"That's right, no one is allowed to pass me or come after me!"

If he really allowed these people to have fun, he would probably be thrown to the back of the team as soon as he entered the battle. He finally got the vanguard position, but he didn't want the war to end without any merit.

In the end, at Jiang Wei's insistence, Long Wuyi reluctantly accepted the order from a group of veterans.

"Generals, charge with me!"

At Jiang Wei's shout, the big Han armored cavalry dispatched. Five hundred heavy cavalrymen, all fully equipped and wearing heavy armor, rushed towards the Wei army at Xiao Pass with heavy footsteps.

Most Wei soldiers have heard of armored cavalry more or less. But when they actually encountered this thing head-on, Wei Jun's formation was still in chaos.

Especially when more than five hundred heavy cavalry armed to the teeth are charging straight at you, the ground trembling even under the feet of their horse hooves. Even veterans who have been in the military for many years find it difficult to respond calmly.

"Enter the shooting range and release the arrow!!"

When the Han army stepped into the Wei army's formation, the Wei army general at the top of the city immediately gave an order. For a moment, bows, arrows and crossbows were fired, and countless arrows flew down densely.

However, it was of no use. Long Wuyi rushed over directly against the rain of arrows. Arrows landed on their armor one by one, and the damage was basically zero. Many soldiers turned into hedgehogs, and they still looked like normal people.

This is the difference between heavy armor and light armor. The trench of combat power between them is so huge that it makes people despair.

The five hundred heavy cavalry braved the rain of arrows and crashed into the Wei army's formation at the pass. In just an instant, the Wei soldiers standing in front of them were quickly crushed to pieces by this inertia! Some soldiers holding shields were even knocked to the ground and then trampled to a pulp by Long Wuyi.

The few troops left behind by Xiahou Ba began to deploy, trying to resist and hold back this group of heavy cavalry. But it was basically in vain. Any Wei army that stood in front of Jiang Wei was torn apart in a very short time. Five hundred armored cavalry were unstoppable and abruptly tore a gap in the Wei army's formation.

When Jiang Wei charged through with his armored cavalry, Xiahou Ba hid under the trench with a thousand elite soldiers and allowed the armored cavalry to pass over his head.

But even through the shield, Xiahou Ba felt that his ears were going to be deafened. It wasn't until he felt the ground shaking again that Xiahou Ba reacted.

"The light cavalry of the Han army has arrived!! Now!"

"Do it!"

Following Xiahou Ba's shout, a thousand fully armed spearmen suddenly opened their shields and rushed out from underneath. Amidst the rising dust, thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei army shouted and faced the light cavalry of the Han army.

Seeing that the armored cavalry had already charged forward, most of the Han army's subsequent light cavalry had relaxed their alert. Suddenly a large number of enemy troops appeared from a very close distance, which really caught the Han army by surprise.

Normally, Xiahou Ba's strategy had been successful, and he was sure that he would win, until his eyes fell on the leader of the Han army, the general wearing the iconic white robe...

Ma Su: You woman!

Xiahou Ba: You're a female horse!

When he saw the white robe, Xiahou Ba was stunned and almost forgot to raise his gun for a moment. After reacting, his expression changed drastically and he almost cursed.

Shouldn't Ma Su lead the charge? How would it appear here!

All his plans focused on how to entangle Ma Su in the military formation. The goal is to separate the most capable cavalry from the weak cavalry to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

He also planned to attack the Han army's light cavalry, but that was based on the absence of Ma Su!

At the same time, Ma Di had also discovered that these earthly grandsons suddenly emerged from underneath. In just a moment, he figured out what Xiahou Ba's plan was.

"You want to learn from Qu Yi and play against Youzhou Tuqi, right? Xiahou Ba is quite a gambler." Ma Su raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this moment, he just wanted to sigh and thank nature for its gift!

"Soldiers, the enemy has been brought before us, how can we not attack! All of you, follow me and attack!"

Ma Su just roared, and all the Han light cavalry who were shocked by the Wei army stabilized. The formation that was supposed to be in chaos instantly stabilized.

This is Ma Su's prestige in the military. This invisible thing is extremely deadly!

The two sides were almost within arm's reach, and in just a few breaths, they collided brazenly.

Normally, Xiahou Ba's attack was enough to scare the Han cavalry. In the case of a sudden attack and shouting, the Han cavalry would subconsciously turn their horses and run backwards. In this way, the impact of the cavalry will be weakened, and a large number of Han light cavalry will be exposed to the Wei army.

But when Ma Su was around, all this became a fantasy. All the Han cavalrymen subconsciously charged forward at Ma Su's voice, even if they didn't react.

Only a thousand spearmen stabbed one or two people to death with difficulty, and they were immediately overwhelmed by the Han cavalry. Xiahou Ba's carefully laid plan to ambush the shield finally turned into a battle achievement that was delivered to Ma Di.

He really made me cry to death!
