In Ma Chao's view, the bravery and strategy of generals are two indispensable factors that determine the victory of a battle.

A real general, a raise of hand, a throw, and a move can make the three armies easy. A real general, who fights between the two armies and fights on the side of life and death, is the soul of the battle and the source of morale; A real general, tireless, ignorant of hard work, attacking like lightning and flint, moving like a storm and waves, is the real overlord on the battlefield.

These are factors that cannot be ignored in any battle.

However, the victory of a battle must also have a premise, that is, how to use the least number of troops, the least losses, to achieve the greatest results, and more far-reaching, a battle, whether there is value in fighting, or whether winning and defeating will be helpful to the development of the group in the future, these are not things that a military general needs to consider, but the responsibility of a master.

Therefore, Liu Bei frequently waved a banner with the book "Liu Xuande of the Plains" on the battlefield back then, but the strange thing is that he has not made any fame, so that after more than ten years of turbulence, he actually got such an evaluation from the careerist Yuan Shu: "Since the birth of the artist, I have not heard of Liu Bei in the world." After that, Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, but he could rise to Xinye Town, until he later settled Yizhou and divided the world, which fully illustrates the importance of an excellent mastermind and his strategy.

Similarly, the current situation, in Ma Chao's view, is because Fufeng now only has military generals, and there is no mastermind: although there are many thieves, the military generals led by Ma Teng will break the enemy by force alone, even if they will win in the end, they will not easily maximize their benefits.

"Dai'er, tell your father that in two days, when I can get out of bed and walk, I will go to the city wall to see the battle situation." Thinking about this, Ma Chao couldn't help but say to Ma Dai.

"Big brother, ...... you" Ma Dai hesitated a little, after all, Ma Chao's current body is the most important.

"Don't say more, since my father has given me room to give full play, then I can't let my father down." Ma Chao waved his hand and motioned for Ma Dai to retreat.

Although Ma Teng Group seems to have a good start now, Ma Chao still sincerely feels that there are too few people available to Ma Teng. For example, in this situation now, just because Jia Xu went out and Meng Da went on a business trip, Ma Teng had to rely on his troops to fight to the death with the thieves, and Fufeng County would have to develop its economy and inspiration in the future, and there would be a lot of things to do in the future.

'It seems that regardless of that era, talent! We still need talents. Ma Chao closed his eyes, and finally continued to fall asleep.

For another three days, Ma Chao, who was weak and weak, climbed the city wall of Fufeng City with the support of Ma Dai. At this time, it was also the time for the generals to command their soldiers to resist the siege of the bandits.

During this time, Ma Chao was only accompanied by Ma Dai, although he had climbed the city wall, he didn't know the battle situation, and he didn't know the arrangement, so he didn't deliberately command anything. didn't even say hello to Ma Teng, Pang De, Ugly Brother and other generals.

He just watched quietly, watching how those Fufeng soldiers resisted the enemy's siege.

Fortunately, in this kind of offensive and defensive battle in which the enemy attacks at the same time from all directions, Ma Chao has no way to command at all, although Ma Teng is not an excellent commander, but he can still afford the position of general. It seems that Ma Teng has already arranged for the enemy's siege, and the generals of the four sides have led their subordinates to guard their posts, and there is also a mobile reserve team, ready to fill the fierce offensive at any time.

And the battle-hardened soldiers of Fufeng County, naturally also know how to deal with the enemy's attack, they take the army as a unit, arranged in an orderly manner, the more powerful crossbow machine makes them have a longer attack range and more powerful penetration, people say that the enemy is not more than three, that is, the crossbow machine since the enemy enters the range, can only be used three times, to face the enemy's hand-to-hand combat, can no longer be used. But the crossbowmen controlled by these veterans took turns firing at the fastest speed, greatly increasing the number of fires. None of the soldiers would unleash a single crossbow arrow when they were out of range, but when they were in effective range, the rain of arrows fell like locusts, piercing through the enemy's thin leather armor and pinning the enemy to the ground. With each of their launches, the enemy suffered heavy losses.

In the blink of an eye, the outside of Fufeng Castle turned into a sea of corpses. The bloodiness of the war is fully embodied!

The power of the crossbow arrow, especially the power of the crossbow operated by a veteran of the battlefield, is unimaginably terrifying, and in the face of it, there is only death in the face of retreat!

"The power of a thousand catties hangs on an inch of teeth, and the power of half a finger comes from the power of half a finger, and its magic cannot be repeated" Ma Chao watched those veterans skillfully operate the crossbow machine, and for the first time, he really felt the importance of advanced weapons to this kind of offensive and defensive warfare in ancient times, and had a clearer understanding.

If it is said that the strength of the enemy's lineup will make people feel cold, then the almost one-sided killing of the crossbowmen of the Fufeng County Army at the moment makes people feel cold both physically and mentally. In the face of the rain of accurate crossbow arrows, human life is so fragile, for a time, there is only the sound of the crossbow machine, the whistling of the rain of arrows, the dull sound of shooting the body, and the screams of the dying in the world.

Two hundred steps from the city, it is a place of death! It's a Peerless Domain!

Ma Chao clearly saw that even though it seemed that the enemy army of more than 30,000 people was still launching a surging siege battle, and it seemed that he was about to rush out of the city wall, but this short distance of 500 steps was paved with the lives of thousands of soldiers!

However, the thieves still did not flinch, and the enemy soldiers, who were not afraid of death, shouted, and rushed up with huge shields like mountains of corpses. The 2,000-stone crossbow on the head of the city roared, and this kind of giant arrow easily pierced the giant shield, pierced the bodies of several people, or even hit people with shields and flew like straws.

However, after all, the city defense crossbow has its dead ends and fatal flaws, that is, it cannot kill and wound enemy troops at close range. After the enemy withstood a burst of rain, more than 4,000 thieves managed to pounce on the city. Their military discipline was scattered and their morale was corrupted, and there was not the slightest trace of the elite division that terrified the soldiers of Fufeng County, but these people seemed to have mastered the skills and battlefield instincts honed over many years in the battlefield, and most of them easily ran to the corner of the crossbow arrows, dodged the attack of the rain of arrows, and came to the city almost unscathed.

Ma Chao knew that the previous wave of soldiers was probably the cannon fodder sent by those thieves, and now the ones who are beginning to appear are probably the real elite of the thieves.

Ma Chaoyue felt more and more strange when he looked at it, and his good-looking eyebrows were tightly twisted together: it is said that if these thieves were really a rabble that Li Kan and Cheng Yin had temporarily co-opted, it would be impossible to organize such a surging attack, and it would be impossible to fight a siege battle with Ma Teng for such a long time.

Even, if you think about it further, the thieves are sixty or seventy thousand, and if they can't attack Fufeng County for a long time, their morale should have been exhausted a long time ago. Even if the morale is not low, the grain and grass should not be able to keep up. But now it seems that everything is not like that at all.

'There are weird ......' Ma Chao touched his nose and frowned to define these thieves.
