Chapter 267: The Power of the Chariot
Under Ma Long's command, five hundred carriages and several horse-drawn carriages were arranged in the shape of an Eight Diagrams, forming a city wall. Behind the wall, infantry such as the Women's Army and the Modao Team stood in the front, while long-range troops such as archers, crossbowmen, iron cannon teams, and flying knife soldiers followed behind.

The cavalry is located in the middle of the Eight Diagrams, gathering strength and ready to attack at any time.

18000 soldiers, each with their own duties.

The side chariot formation is set up, and Ma Long's military characteristic "Eight Formations" takes effect, greatly improving the defense of the soldiers in the formation and reducing the damage they receive.

Because of the effect of Malone's general characteristic "Alone in the Deep", when Malone's troops become an isolated army, Malone's troops' defense is increased by 40%, and they are not easily thrown into chaos when attacked.

This effect is superimposed on the effect of the "Eight Formations", and the defensive power of the side carriage formation is even more terrifying, just like a fortress rising from the ground.

Malone also has the S-level general characteristic "Destroy the Hu" - damage to the Hu people is increased by 11%, and the damage caused by the Hu people to Malone's soldiers is reduced by 9%; the A-level general characteristic "Strong Crossbow" - the range of archers and crossbowmen is increased by 5%, the attack power is increased by 11%, and the armor-piercing effect is increased by 13%; the B-level general characteristic "Courage" - the morale limit of the soldiers commanded by Malone is increased by 5, and the morale maintenance is increased by 20%.

All in all, in this specific environment, Ma Long's bonus is even more terrifying than the bonus currently provided by the top-notch commander Li Jing.

Li Jing is suitable for various situations and has not yet reached the peak of his personal abilities.

And it is in this particular situation that Malone is able to bring his abilities to perfection.

Although Li Qian had recruited Ma Long a long time ago, Ma Long had also participated in the defense of Chencang.

However, Ma Long's personal military strength was not high, and his performance in the Battle of Chencang was not conspicuous, so he did not attract the attention of the Northern Alliance. The Northern Alliance's attention was attracted by Li Qian, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Li Xiuning, Mu Guiying, Li Siye and other fierce generals, and they really did not pay attention to this seemingly inconspicuous Western Jin general.

"My lord, the enemy is approaching."

Qin Qiong looked into the distance and saw howling winds. A black line appeared on the horizon. The sound of horse hooves rolled in from far away, like muffled thunder, which was terrifying.

"The Liangzhou horses are so powerful that they roam the world. It's true that their reputation is well-deserved. There are really a lot of Liangzhou cavalrymen."

Li Qian couldn't help but sigh.

The Northern Alliance used cavalry as infantry in Chencang City and suffered heavy losses, but they were still able to easily send out 100,000 cavalry to ambush Li Qian.

If it weren't for Ma Long's chariot formation, Li Qian would have suffered a lot if he encountered the 100,000 cavalry of the Northern Alliance on flat ground.

Among the 18000 soldiers brought by Li Qian, many special types of soldiers can fight ten enemies at once.

However, the one-to-ten strength of special forces is measured against the strength of conventional forces. If the opponent is also a special force, then the one-to-ten strength is not accurate. At this time, numbers are king.

But there are no ifs in everything.

"drive!"

"We have many soldiers and horses. Crush the soldiers of Shengzuo the scholar and trample them into pulp!"

"Kill!"

One hundred thousand cavalrymen of the Northern Alliance launched a charge. The war horses kept accelerating. The sound of horse hooves was deafening, echoing throughout the battlefield, shaking the earth!
The scene of one hundred thousand cavalry charging was magnificent and spectacular!

Only Liangzhou could easily gather so many elite cavalry!

One hundred thousand cavalrymen swept in like a black plague!

"Shengzuo is a scholar. You are getting in my way. Go to hell!"

When King Zhongwu saw that his 100,000 cavalry were getting closer and closer to Li Qian's troops, he had already smiled.

If you dare to go against him, you will die!
One hundred thousand cavalrymen faced less than 20,000 infantrymen carrying baggage on a flat ground, and the result was just a one-sided slaughter! Not only the Loyal and Martial Heavenly King, but also other players in the Northern Alliance could not help laughing wildly, as if they were sure of victory.

As they got closer and closer to Li Qian's troops, the outline of the chariot formation appeared in front of them, and the players of the Northern Alliance finally realized that something seemed to be wrong - a "city wall" appeared out of thin air on the flat ground, becoming the biggest obstacle to their rapid advance!

"Fire arrows!"

The fire arrow teams, longbowmen, archers, crossbowmen and other crossbow soldiers in the side chariot formation fired at the same time. Rounds of arrows were thrown out, like a heavy black rain, falling into the 100,000 cavalry of the Northern Alliance!

"what!"

A player from the Northern Alliance was shot to death by a stray arrow. He screamed, fell off his horse, and was trampled into a pulp by the torrent of cavalry that followed!
The cavalry of the Northern Alliance were attacked by a rain of arrows and fell off their horses one after another like dumplings.

"Three-stage attack!"

Tachibana Ginchiyo divided hundreds of special soldiers "Tachibana Early Strike Girls" into three rows, and took turns shooting. The muskets fired in volleys, and the air was filled with white smoke. The Northern Alliance players or cavalry who were hit by lead bullets had their armor pierced and their internal organs crushed by the kinetic energy!

"Crush them!"

When the Heavenly King Zhongwu discovered that Li Qian had set up the Eight Diagrams and was waiting for an opportunity, he thought to himself that things were not going well. However, at this time, 100,000 cavalrymen launched an attack, and the Heavenly King Zhongwu had to lead the charge himself to break through the side chariot formation.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen of the Northern Alliance actually forced their way into the chariot formation. The horses were blocked by the chariots, and the long spears that were thrust out from the back of the chariots easily penetrated the armor of the cavalrymen because of their high-speed impact!

The Northern Alliance cavalrymen were thrown to the ground, their horses roared and their men neighed, but they were unable to shake Li Qian's defense line.

The side carriages are connected by iron chains, and even armored war horses cannot knock them apart!

The archers and crossbowmen in the side chariot formation were still firing in unison, holding the formation and causing casualties to the Northern Alliance cavalry behind them.

The cavalry in front were blocked, and the cavalry behind hurriedly pulled the reins of their horses to avoid running into friendly forces.

But it was too late, and a small number of cavalrymen collided and fell to the ground.

"drink!"

King Zhongmu held a horse lance in his hand and pierced through the wooden board of the side carriage, causing the board to break, and the spearmen behind were stabbed to death by the horse lance!

King Zhongwu intends to use his own force to open a gap!

"Arrow of the Holy Emperor!"

A beam of golden light with murderous intent shot towards the Loyal and Martial Heavenly King and instantly arrived in front of the Loyal and Martial Heavenly King!
King Zhongwu had no choice but to swing his lance to knock the golden arrow away.

"Better than being a scholar!"

King Zhongwu saw clearly that it was Li Qian who drew his bow and arrow and aimed it at him, and King Zhongwu could not help but grit his teeth.

He had fallen into Li Qian's hands time and time again, and thought he could get revenge this time, but he didn't expect that he would still be severely punished by Li Qian!
The chariot formation arranged by Ma Long according to the Eight Diagrams has a high defense bonus. In addition, Ma Long's own military characteristics provide another defense bonus. This formation is extremely effective in restraining cavalry.

The Loyal and Martial Heavenly King wanted to break the formation by relying on his personal bravery and the mighty generals under his command, but Li Qian did not allow him to do so. He personally led Li Xiuning, Mu Guiying, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Beigong Chun and other mighty generals to fight in the battle, blocking the Loyal and Martial Heavenly King and his mighty generals and not giving them a chance to break the formation.

The Northern Alliance actually wanted to ambush him halfway, so Li Qian had to bite off a piece of their flesh to make them know what pain was!
