First, they used the method of chopping the axe by cutting the weapons in their hands, which was to try to destroy the snatch box truck.

However, the thick logs that make up the flat box truck are at least the size of the bowl, not the delicate and small jade bowl, but the thick porcelain bowl that ordinary people use the most. Such a thick log, if you cut down one sword at most, at most you can only cut a white mark and pick up a little bit of wood chips.

This made Sima Jun speechless. They almost tried their best to pay an unknown amount of casualties before they rushed to the front of the box truck. However, when they got closer, they found that these box trucks were extremely strong. It was harder to destroy them than climbing to the sky. It was not as if the Bingzhou Army had been constantly fighting back, and they suffered heavy damage to Sima Bingbing who was approaching the box truck. Even if they were asked to destroy these box trucks, they would not be able to move at all. With the sword in their hands, even if they cut for a day, they might not have any good results.

Fire attack was the second method that Sima Jun thought of. Fire can overcome wood. Even if the sword cannot cut these wood, can it still burn it if it sets fire?

So Sima Jun prepared a large number of torches. After rushing to the box truck, he threw the torches at the box truck one by one, trying to burn the box truck with fire.

But Ma Long had a defensive means. At the back of each flat box truck, there were water bags sewn with animal skins, which stored a lot of water. Once Sima Jun threw the torches over, Bingzhou Jun used the water to extinguish the torches. Moreover, during the watering process, the flat box truck was also wet. Originally, these logs were just cut trees, and the trunks were wet and not easy to catch fire. In addition, they were wet. Even if some remaining torches were burning below, they still could not ignite the flat box truck.

In order to be able to attack the front of the flat box car formation, Sima Jun really paid a considerable price. Every time they attacked, they almost used corpses and blood to pave the way. The Bingzhou Army's arrows were like rain, and countless Sima Jun were shot dead and injured.

Everyone who can stand in front of the flat box truck array can be said to be lucky, but after rushing closer, they found that this was a huge tragedy. These flat box trucks are extremely strong, unable to cut their swords or burn them out. No matter how hard they use, they cannot move forward.

Chen Tai did not expect that it would be like this. He originally thought that this time he led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to fight, and he would definitely defeat such a 3,000 Bingzhou Army in one battle. After all, from that perspective, this is a battle of huge power disparity, and Sima's army has no reason to lose to Bingzhou Army.

But reality taught Chen Tai a lesson. In plains, cavalry is not an invincible existence. If infantry adopts more appropriate defense measures, it will still cause great trouble to invincible cavalry.

Chen Tai is indeed a little worried now. His repeated attacks have caused heavy losses. From a distance, there are corpses everywhere on the entire Wulongkou battlefield. Almost every step forward, a corpse of a man or a war horse can be seen. This place has almost become Sima Jun’s cemetery.

Chen Tai is probably unprecedented in fighting 3,000 people with 10,000 people. All the Bingzhou troops were huddled in the flat box car. Chen Tai could not see the situation inside, nor did he know their casualties. However, the density of arrows shot from the chariot array has never decreased, and it is still so dense, as if their people were 3,000 people from beginning to end, and there was no decrease in one.

Chen Tai's face looked extremely ugly. He originally thought that he had relied on continuous attacks to consume the arrows of the Bingzhou Army. Over time, the Bingzhou Army's bows and arrows were unsustainable. After all, according to common sense, the arrows carried by any archer were limited. According to Sima's equipment, an archer only had twenty arrows at most. Now that he had been shooting for most of a day, Sima's arrows were almost shot out.

But the arrows of the Bingzhou Army were like endless and endless. If this situation continues, even if Chen Tai scored all of these 10,000 people, he might not be able to consume the arrows of the Bingzhou Army.

In fact, it is true. Before going to war, Ma Long prepared a large number of arrows. He prepared 200,000 ordinary arrows alone, not including arrows from crossbows. Such a large number of arrows would definitely not be able to carry such a large number of arrows alone. Everyone had to carry several large bundles, and they would be exhausted to death.

But Ma Long has his own tricks. The huge wooden boxes on the flat box truck are empty, so Ma Long arranges the bows and arrows needed by infantrymen and takes them in the wooden boxes, which is very convenient.

Not only that, the food, grass and military wars required by the Pioneer Battalion were all stored, so these flat wooden boxes were constantly defensive weapons of the Pioneer Battalion, and they also acted as a baggage truck, killing two birds with one stone.

Ma Long's flat box car array relies on two types of weapons, one is the flat box car and the other is the bow and arrow.

The flat box truck provides strong defense guarantees for the Pioneer Battalion, so Ma Long built these vehicles quite firmly. No matter what means the enemy uses, it is very difficult to destroy the flat box truck.

However, if no one comes to protect it, the box truck is a dead object after all, so while Ma Long built the box truck to be extremely sturdy, he prepared a large number of arrows to arm the Pioneer Battalion. As long as the enemy comes to attack and try to destroy the box truck, it will cost him a heavy price.

In fact, the infantry combat method of forming a formation of chariots was not unavailable by our ancestors. Even the Bingzhou Army, Cao Liang, was equipped with a side van, which could resist the attack of enemy cavalry to a certain extent. However, because the maneuverability of the method of forming a formation of chariots was too poor, it was difficult to completely become the preferred combat method for infantry. Just imagine, if the enemy did not attack, then even the strongest chariot would not be used.

Ma Long's flat box chariot formation is almost an extreme way to form a chariot. The sturdy and desperate flat box chariot can never be destroyed by the enemy with ordinary means. Moreover, the infantry in the battle formation are all pure crossbowmen. Ma Long is not equipped with other troops, or the proportion occupied by other troops is minimal.

Such an infantry combat troops configuration is indeed unheard of. For a long time, infantry troops configurations have adopted a configuration that draws strengths and makes up for shortcomings, and the various troops are as rational as possible so that the offense and defense can be balanced.
