Ma Long loved military tactics since childhood. Although he was not from a family, this did not prevent him from having the ambition of a famous general. When he was in Yanzhou, Ma Long was promoted by Linghu Yu and became a military officer and entered the military. Although his rank was not high, Ma Long cherished such opportunities very much, so he always regarded Linghu Yu as his mentor.

Later, Ma Long came to Huainan and was appreciated by Wang Feixiao, the son of Wang Ling. He was recommended to serve as Wu Meng. In terms of position, it was indeed a leap. However, Wu Meng was engaged in this position more like a staff officer and an aide, and was still far from being able to truly command an army independently to fight.

When he arrived in Bingzhou this time, Cao Liang appointed him as the vanguard officer and commanded a 3,000 troops alone, which was a great temptation for Ma Long, who had always dreamed of leading his army to fight in all directions.

Originally, Ma Long planned to return immediately after delivering a letter to Bingzhou. Perhaps after returning to Huainan, he could still participate in the battle of Huainan. Although Ma Long might not have the chance to lead his army to join the war after returning to Huainan, Ma Long, who had always longed to realize his dream, was still unwilling to give up his last chance.

But what Ma Long did not expect was that Cao Liang would actually entrust him with important tasks and let him serve as the vanguard officer for the attack on Heluo this time. Moreover, this vanguard officer was not an auxiliary nature, but truly had the power to command and fight independently.

So Ma Long threw away the idea of ​​returning to Huainan to Jawa Kingdom and couldn't wait to accept Cao Liang's appointment.

After Cao Liang appointed Ma Long as the Pioneer Officer, he ignored all the affairs of the Pioneer Camp and let Ma Long "trouble" alone.

Although Ma Long has not truly commanded the army independently, many years of familiarity with military books and tactics have allowed Ma Long to form a mature military idea, but it is just limited by conditions and has no chance to implement it.

Now Cao Liang has provided him with the most ideal platform, and without any constraints, Ma Long can completely let him play it freely. It can be said that such a platform is unique in the world. After all, leading the army is not a joke, and no one in power can hand over the army to a newcomer who has no experience in leading the army and acts contrary to the rules. Cao Liang dares to delegate power to Ma Long, obviously he has full trust in him.

Ma Long was very grateful to Cao Liang, and naturally did not dare to let Cao Liang down. He built a pioneer camp according to his own ideas and ideas, selected and recruited warriors who met his requirements, and asked Cao Liang to equip him with carpenters and build a flat box truck overnight.

Cao Liang naturally agreed with Ma Long's request. In fact, Cao Liang was very curious about this flat box truck. The method of making the flat box truck has long been lost. Now the side van equipped by the Bingzhou Army is built based on some historical records and combined with some of his own imagination.

Now that I have the opportunity to see the original historical flat box truck, Cao Liang is of course happy to see it.

Ma Long made the production overnight. With the craftsmen taking advantage of the equipment and the raw materials, after several days of hard work, he finally successfully built the flat box truck needed by Ma Long.

Ma Long's flat box truck and Cao Liang's side van are similar. For Bingzhou Jun, who is familiar with using side vans, you can use flat box trucks without any barriers.

This battle was the first truly leading battle in Ma Long's life, and it was supported and recognized by Cao Liang. This undoubtedly made Ma Long full of confidence and confidence.

More importantly, Ma Long did not fight alone. In history, Ma Long's ability to conquer the bald tree was completely alone. He received three years of food and salary and military battles at one time. With the courage of a hero Xi never looking back, he embarked on the road to the Western Expedition.

In this battle of Heluo, Cao Liang had already secretly mobilized 50,000 troops and would follow the Pioneer Battalion. What Ma Long needed to do was to attract the attention of Sima's army, drag its main force, and win time for Cao Liang's army.

Of course, this is the task Cao Liang gave to Ma Long, but from Ma Long's personal perspective, he is more inclined to fight this battle. The responsibility of the Pioneer Battalion itself represents the pioneer who destroyed cities and set up villages and sets up roads. What's more, this is Ma Long's first battle in his life, and he hopes to have highlights.

The capture of Qinshui is basically not a battle, because the Sima army has no troops stationed here, and only a few people from the county government office, how could it be possible to stop the vanguard camp with high morale?

After a short stay in Qinshui, Ma Long commanded the army toward the southeast, with the goal directly aiming at Wen County.

Chen Tai deployed heavy troops in the Wen County area. Ma Long rushed to Wen County without any fear, clearly declaring war on Chen Tai. Ma Long knew very well that the Pioneer Battalion had advanced to Hanoi so vigorously, which must have angered Chen Tai. Chen Tai would never stay in Wen County to fight. His first choice should be to take the initiative and choose the right terrain to ambush the Pioneer Battalion.

From Qinshui to Wen County, there is almost a flat terrain. Such terrain is very suitable for cavalry attacks, so on this section of the road, the Sima Army will not surprise Ma Long.

The slow marching speed of the Pioneer Battalion just means that the Pioneer Battalion has been fully prepared for combat. The formation adopted by the Pioneer Battalion is basically a battle formation rather than a marching formation. When encountering an enemy attack, you only need to make a little adjustment to completely enter the battle.

As soon as they reached Wulongkou, Ma Long heard the rumbling sound of war drums. There was no doubt that they had stepped into the ambush circle of Sima Army, but this was completely the result that Ma Long expected, and the entire Pioneer Battalion was ready for battle, and there was no fear in the face of Sima Army's attack.

The Sima army's cavalry divided into two groups and launched a raid from both sides quickly. Their attacks formed a very wide formation. From a distance, they looked like two rows of huge waves suddenly rising from the plain, whistling, with a momentum that swallowed mountains and rivers, as if they wanted to crush everything.

Chen Tai was quite confident in all these ambushes. The opponent only had 3,000 troops, and he dispatched 10,000 troops. In terms of quantity, he had a total advantage. What's more, among these 10,000 people, there were still 5,000 cavalry. Anyone knew that in this plain area, cavalry was the absolute king. Its powerful impact force and high-speed maneuverability were incomparable to any military. These two cavalry attacked at the same time. This battle should not be too easy!
