Chapter 1176: The Strongest Army in the World
"General, great victory!"
Ma Chao's deputy said excitedly that they killed more than 5,000 barbarians in one battle and their own losses were only more than 200, which could be called a glorious victory.
"It's not enough. We haven't killed enough. Send the order to rest for a day and continue to hunt the enemy with me tomorrow!" Ma Chao snorted coldly. He knew that the strength of the Iron Cavalry was not enough and they needed to continue killing.
If it was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who came today, it is estimated that no one would die. They are still too weak, and this little strength is not enough.
He didn't know how to train soldiers, but he found two big bosses who told him that winning and killing continuously would definitely produce results, so Ma Chao decided to follow this path to the end.
Bai Qi and Huo Qubing did not lie to him. As long as he could win a hundred battles and kill a hundred people, he would be able to form a royal guard.
When you kill enemies, the more you kill, the stronger the opponents you face will be. If you can keep killing, you will naturally become stronger.
Even if you are killing barbarians, if you kill half a million of them, you have to be at least a super elite.
Those who cannot survive will be eliminated, and those who survive will naturally become stronger. This is the ultimate truth of military strategy: to stop killing with killing.
Don't tell me about some bullshit talent combinations, just kill. After killing more, you will naturally understand how to save energy, how to parry, and how to dodge.
The next day, when Ma Chao appeared with his personal cavalry guards, the barbarians had already prepared a trap to ambush Ma Chao.
In fact, Ma Chao was the one who took the blame. After Zhang Liao killed a lot of people here, he patted his butt and left, and Ma Chao followed suit and killed a lot of people, so Zhang Liao's achievements were naturally counted on Ma Chao.
Although the barbarians are weak, they are not stupid. Knowing that there is a fierce tiger here, how could they ignore it?
They immediately gathered three infantry corps, four cavalry corps and one archer corps, waiting for Ma Chao to attack.
No matter how powerful you are, a single legion can never face the power of multiple legions combined. If a real fight breaks out, this organization can defeat Zhang Liao with just the help of cloud energy.
When the number gap is too big, the excess cloud energy will enhance their strength and weaken the enemy's strength. Even if Zhang Liao is leading super elite troops, his double talents have the ability to kill them.
But if they attacked one by one, Zhang Liao could defeat them all without causing many casualties.
They originally just wanted to drive Ma Chao away, but they never expected that Ma Chao had no intention of leaving and plunged headfirst into the encirclement.
"Kill him, and we will surely become citizens!"
The temporary commander of the Barbarian Legion shouted excitedly that annihilating a regular guard would be enough for them to be promoted to the class of Roman citizens, that is, the Roman aristocracy.
“Ohhhhhhhh!”
The morale of the barbarians soared. They did not dare to fight in a one-on-one fight, but now they had an absolute advantage in numbers and they were confident of defeating the enemy with more people.
Ma Chao glanced at the barbarians who were slowly approaching him, and sneered, "Everyone, we have no other choice now. Either we are trampled into the mud by the enemy, or we kill them."
He did it on purpose. He knew he couldn't win, but his goal was just to lead the people behind him out of the encirclement.
Fighting out of desperate situations is the military training method Han Xin taught him, and he is very confident that he can fight out of it.
This is what is called, being put in a desperate situation in order to survive.
Ma Chao's cold voice was transmitted to all the Iron Knights. Suddenly, there was some commotion among the Iron Knights lined up in rows, but it soon calmed down. Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and became more confident. It turned out that the soldiers he trained were trustworthy.
If you don't even have this awareness, you'd better retire early and go back to farming.
"If we don't win this battle, we will die!" At this time, the barbarian cavalry behind him were already at a distance of nearly a thousand steps. They would start charging at a short distance. Ma Chao pointed his spear at the opposite side and said with a crazy look on his face.
"If you don't want to die, follow me and fight!"
When he uttered the last word "war", Ma Chao almost exhaled all the air in his chest.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The cavalry he led also fully understood the current situation and roared in anger.
The scattered sounds finally gathered into a "battle". At this time, the barbarian cavalry was about to enter the charge range.
Ma Chao no longer hesitated. He roared at the top of his lungs and rushed towards the barbarian infantry corps in front of him with his horse's belly.
Kill the infantry corps, chop off the archer corps, and then use the chaotic defense line to get rid of the cavalry pursuit behind him. This is Ma Chao's breakout route.
"Follow me!"
Ma Chao led the charge forward, and the trained instincts of the cavalry guards behind him suddenly emerged at this moment. As they were originally the imperial guards, their combat effectiveness was naturally not much.
They naturally followed Ma Chao and formed a sharp arrow formation. The clouds in the sky also became much thicker with their will. What they lacked was only the will to be strong, and now Ma Chao was leading them to temper this will.
"kill!"
Ma Chao swept his spear across, his internal energy gushing out, and led his legion to attack, directly creating a groove in the direction of the barbarians' infantry. The cavalry behind him then charged and tore the groove apart.
Under the leadership of Ma Chao's amazing strength, the Royal Guards Iron Knights tore a huge hole in the barbarians' phalanx almost at the moment of collision with the barbarians.
Then the sharp arrow formation pierced through the barbarian army's first line of defense like a huge awl.
"Don't panic, push up the second line of defense!" The barbarian commander shouted anxiously. He had already seen through Ma Chao's intention, but seeing it didn't mean he could stop it.
"Use the legion to attack! Stop them! Never let them get away!" The barbarian commander roared, and then launched the legion to attack, without any concern about hurting friendly forces. He just wanted Ma Chao to stop.
How can he not be impatient when the cooked duck is about to fly away?
After several legions launched attacks, Ma Chao's cavalry's breakout momentum was instantly curbed, and they had to stop. Charging towards the edge of the knife is two different things.
The other party was so crazy that they even attacked their own people. They really had no way to rush over and had to rein in their horses and slow down.
"Okay, okay! Just like that, stop them!"
When the barbarian commander saw that Ma Chao's cavalry had slowed down, he was overjoyed, and then he led his personal guards to rush towards Ma Chao's front. They wanted to block Ma Chao's direction of breakout.
"Shoot! Shoot! Don't worry about casualties, just shoot as hard as you can!"
As the barbarian commander did not treat his barbarian comrades as human beings, Ma Chao was once again surrounded by the infantry corps.
"Looking for death!" Seeing the barbarian commander rushing towards him, Ma Chao sneered and charged forward with his spear.
"You can dodge this attack!"
A gun shadow appeared directly in Ma Chao's eyes, and at the same time, the tiger-head gun in his hand thrust straight forward, stabbing directly into the barbarian commander's chest in front of his incredible eyes, and then twisting it, even Hua Tuo could not come to save him.
"You're too close!" Ma Chao stabbed the barbarian commander to death in an instant.
The barbarian commander, who was proud of his bravery, never thought that Ma Chao could kill him instantly the moment they faced each other.
"It's worth it that I learned from the bearded man for so long!" Ma Chao sneered. He learned this trick from Guan Yu. He usually accumulates his willpower, and then catches the opponent off guard at the critical moment.
The effect is best especially when it is first seen. It can instantly shock the opponent and directly attack the opponent's vital points, which can only be resisted by the top masters.
This is also the reason why Ma Chao is usually so excited. His accumulated will is too strong, which causes Ma Chao to be in a state of joy all the time.
At least Guan Yu read the Spring and Autumn Annals to cultivate his sentiments and exercise his concentration.
Ma Chao is at an age where he is restless and has abundant energy. Naturally, he looks like a happy Husky, and he gives off the aura that he will die if he doesn't move.
After killing the enemy commander with one move, the barbarians on the opposite side were stunned and looked at Ma Chao in a loss. Everyone was stunned!
The reason why the barbarian legion leader could become the commander of this temporary group was because he was good at fighting and had enough martial arts skills, but he was killed instantly by Ma Chao.
"The enemy general is dead! Follow me to kill him!"
Ma Chao held the barbarian leader's body high in the air and roared loudly.
"Kill!" Ma Chao swung his spear with a sneer and swept through the army, clearing out the soldiers in front of him. In an instant, the morale of Ma Chao's army exploded, and everyone pounced on the opponent like a tiger descending from a mountain.
The barbarians finally came to their senses after hearing Ma Chao's thunderous "Kill". However, even if they came to their senses in this situation, they could not stop Ma Chao's headquarters which was as fierce as a tiger.
In an instant, the morale of the barbarians dropped significantly, and even the clouds above their heads dimmed a little.
"Hahahaha, the mighty general Ma Chao is here, who dares to fight me!"
Ma Chao roared loudly, the spear in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death, and wherever he passed, there were dead souls.
Even later on, the barbarians began to avoid Ma Chao. Wherever Ma Chao went, the barbarians automatically separated.
Ma Chao was so excited about killing that he actually gave up the breakout opportunity that was so close to him and turned around to launch a counterattack against the barbarian cavalry corps behind him.
Ma Chao changed his mind. He didn't want to break out of the encirclement. He wanted to kill this group of barbarian troops directly. It would be enough for one person to kill eight. He could do it.
The two cavalry corps met at high speed, and countless blood splashed out at this moment, but Ma Chao's troops did not make any unnecessary movements, but just held their spears and stabbed at the opposite side.
The spears broke, and Ma Chao's soldiers almost instantly took out their sabers and roared as they slashed towards the opposite side. They didn't need to think about why, nor did they care whether there were other enemies around them. They just killed the enemies in front of them, and surviving was victory!
Following Ma Chao, they can win!
The seeds of faith sprouted in his heart, and Ma Chao became the catalyst for the germination of the seeds, but Ma Chao was unaware and still charged to the front line.
Kill, kill, kill, madly venting his inner brutality, Ma Chao's 4,000 troops, after killing their way through the barbarian infantry phalanx and the archer phalanx, once again killed their way through the barbarian cavalry phalanx.
At this time, almost all of Ma Chao's soldiers were covered in blood. Unlike the orthodox cavalry who were cut through by swords, they broke their spears and killed all the enemies in front of them with machetes before killing their way out .
There was no need to turn the horse's head at high speed, nor to change to a spear. He slowly turned the horse back. Ma Chao's troops, holding machetes, were like a pack of wolves watching sheep. The ground was almost soaked with blood.
Ma Chao looked down upon the enemies in front of him with pride. Although there were still a lot of barbarians, they were all defeated and at the end of their strength. He only needed one more round of charge to defeat them.
Ma Chao turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him. They had lost nearly two thousand soldiers since the start of the war, but it was undoubtedly worth it. The soldiers behind him could now be called a top-level legion.
No matter what kind of opponent you face, you have the determination to bite off a piece of meat from the opponent.
The barbarians' losses were not great. At most, less than 8,000 people were killed or wounded, which was a loss rate of less than one-tenth, far from their psychological endurance limit.
However, facing Ma Chao's main force that had killed them, they felt fear in their hearts. Even the well-organized legions were in awe of these soldiers who had fought bravely.
Admiration for strength is the nature of the barbarians, and it is also the reason why they were driven by Rome. For most barbarians, the strength of Rome is an idea that has been instilled in them since they were born.
Ma Chao's strength was a strength they had experienced personally, and their awe of Ma Chao overwhelmed their awe of Rome.
Although it looked like they could kill Ma Chao if they put in a little more effort, all the barbarians were considering retreating.
"kill!"
Ma Chao did not hesitate for a moment. He kicked his horse's belly again and rushed towards the barbarian army. He had no worries, and there was no need to worry. They were just barbarians. Kill them.
Facts have proved that barbarians are barbarians. When they had absolute advantage, they collapsed and fled in all directions.
Ma Chao caught up with the slow-running barbarians and rushed to kill them together. After making sure that at least 15,000 barbarians had been killed, Ma Chao stopped and ran in the direction of the original plan with his surviving soldiers.
After the excessive will was poured out, Ma Chao's IQ once again took the upper hand, and the purpose of his military training had been achieved.
Moreover, there were so many barbarians serving as witnesses for him, exposing his current weak state . If the Romans were not all cowards, they would definitely organize people to hunt him down.
However, Gao Lan's super heavy infantry would attract all these people's attention, causing them to push a large number of barbarians to surround and kill him, which would not only consume the barbarians, but also cripple him.
The hatred has been established very steadily. Next, we just need to wait quietly for the arrival of the Roman army and watch the massacre on the white horse. That's it!
Ma Chao sneered and led his soldiers back to the temporary camp to rest.
Just as Han Xin said, after killing a lot of people, he had a new understanding of the talents of his legion.
