Chapter 1812 Another trump card

After several days of rest in Lingju, Ma Long received supplies and set off again and set out on the road to Wuwei.

After the wars between Zhiyang and Lingju, the Xianbei people were frightened and almost all retreated from Jincheng County. They first climbed the camp and walked northward, and never encountered any trace of the Xianbei people again.

Some soldiers laughed and said that after fighting two battles, they beat the Xianbei people out of their courage. I am afraid that the Xianbei people have fled back to their hometowns and will never dare to show up in Liangzhou again.

Ma Long did not think so. Although the Wei army won a great victory in Lingju and wiped out 40,000 Xianbei soldiers in one fell swoop, the Tufashu Ji was an ambitious man, so how could he be frightened by the loss twice?

What's more, the bald tree functional team did not show up at all in these two battles, but sent the generals under his command to lead the army, which shows that the main force of the Xianbei people has not yet moved, and the real fierce battle is still to come.

As for the sudden disappearance of the Xianbei people, it is not difficult to understand. It must have been the Wei army's vigilance after these two victories, which aroused the vigilance of Tufa Village. He did not take the Wei army seriously before, but now he is probably paying great attention to it. Therefore, Ma Long judged that Tufa Tree's Movement is definitely accumulating strength and preparing for a decisive battle.

As for the location of the decisive battle, Ma Long is difficult to infer now. After all, Liangzhou is so big and the Xianbei cavalry are extremely mobile and flexible. They may appear anywhere and unexpectedly give Xian Dengying a sneak attack.

Therefore, Ma Long maintained a high alert state during the entire march, and would allow the first camp to move from the march to the combat state at any time, without giving the Xianbei people any opportunity to take advantage of.

Whether during marching or camping, Ma Long deliberately sent scouts to expand the scope of reconnaissance by at least twice. Once any enemy situation is discovered, he will make corresponding plans.

Although the camp was a infantry battalion, there were many mules and horses. After all, these bulky flat-box carts needed strong mules and horses to pull them. When it came to battle, the Wei soldiers would lead these mules and horses to the center of the formation and tie them up. They would only use mules and horses when marching.

The few war horses that first climbed the camp were all equipped with scouts. The cavalry scouts and infantry scouts were used at the same time. The cavalry scouts were responsible for reconnaissance of far-reaching targets, and the infantry scouts were responsible for reconnaissance of near and far, which allowed Ma Long to obtain enemy information more in detail.

From Lingju, we quickly approached the border between Jincheng County and Wuwei County. The two counties were bounded by Qingshan. The south of the mountain belonged to Jincheng County and the north of the mountain belonged to Wuwei County.

The most suitable combat area for the flat box truck array is flat land. Once you enter the mountainous area, the function of the flat box truck will be greatly restricted. The inability to set up camp is one of the biggest weaknesses of the flat box truck. If the Xianbei people set up ambush in the mountainous area, it would be extremely unfavorable for first entering the camp.

So when approaching Qingshan, Ma Long did not advance rashly and ordered to go to the camp to temporarily stop and rest on the spot. At the same time, Ma Long sent a large number of cavalry scouts to search the Qingshan area like a carpet to see if the Xianbei people set up ambush in this area.

The scouts conducted extensive searches on this mountainous area and repeatedly confirmed that there were no ambushes from the Xianbei people in this area. Then they went back to report to Ma Long, saying that at the Wanhudui Mountain Pass in front, no trace of the Xianbei people was found, and that they could pass successfully by the camp first.

Wanhudui? After hearing this place name, Ma Long's expression changed significantly. He immediately asked the central army to take the map over and study it carefully.

Wanhudui is indeed a relatively special place with a complex terrain. In addition, this is a necessary road to enter Wuwei County. There are many vehicles in the first camp, so there are actually not many options in the road selection. Wanhudui is probably the only mountain pass that can be accessed by Wei Jun flat box trucks.

Since it is the only important road, this makes Ma Long sensitive. If the bald tree can deal with the first camp, then Wanhudui is obviously the most ideal place. Because the roads here are narrow and the terrain is rugged, the flat box truck cannot form a formation at all. If Ma Long had chosen it, Wanhudui would definitely become the first choice.

This was obviously not good news for the Xiandeng camp. Although the reconnaissance of the target scouts was that Wanhudui did not have the ambush of the Xianbei people, if the Xianbei people were ambushed farther from Wanhudui, it would definitely exceed the reconnaissance range of the Wei army scouts. Therefore, even though Ma Long sent a large number of scouts, he might not be able to prepare to get information from the Xianbei people.

Therefore, whether there will be ambushes from the Xianbei people in Wanhudui must be judged based on his own experience.

For Ma Long, this must be carefully considered. Although Xiandengying had already achieved great victory in both Zhiyang and Lingju, the military strength comparison between the two sides was very different. Although the Xianbei was defeated in both battles, they still had enough troops and were very strong.

If you first climb the camp, you will have only a few troops. If you lose the battle, you will likely be in danger of the destruction of the entire army. Therefore, when you reach dangerous places like Wanhudui, Ma Long will first become alert.

If he had made no mistake in his calculations, the Bald Tree will definitely seek an opportunity to take revenge. Zhiyang and Lingju fought, the Bald Village will probably not be able to swallow that breath. If he really occupied Liangzhou for a long time or even looked at Guanzhong, then he would definitely not be a turtle to avoid fighting.

Of course, after the lessons learned from Zhiyang and Lingju in the battles between Bald Trees, they would not rashly send troops to deal with Xiandengying. Ma Long inferred that even if Bald Trees wanted to take action, they would definitely choose the right terrain. The most important thing was to avoid the flat box formation, so that the goal of reducing the strength of the Wei army could be achieved.

Therefore, as long as the bald tree can confirm revenge, Ma Long felt that he would definitely choose to use Wanhudui as the main battlefield first.

But in the Wanhudui confrontation, can the Xianbei people really gain the advantage?

This was obviously the wishful thinking of Bald Tree. He thought that if he restrained the flat box truck, he could suppress the Wei army, and the Xianbei people could easily defeat Xiandengying.

But in fact, Ma Long's methods are far more than flat box trucks. Even if the terrain of Wanhuduo is complex and the flat box trucks are limited, it cannot form a formation. However, Ma Long still has his own trump card to deal with the clumsy bald tree functions.
