But Ma Long was different. He abandoned other troops and arranged all the vanguard battalions as crossbowmen. Such long-range attack output is naturally extremely terrifying. Any enemy who attempts to attack will be hit by a fatal blow.

The flat box truck and the crossbowmen complement each other. The flat box truck provides a safe defensive harbor for the crossbowmen. The crossbowmen in turn use their powerful attack ability to protect the flat box truck from being destroyed. Ma Long has achieved both attack and defense, so the cavalry, who claimed to be invincible in the plains, naturally fell in love with the front of the flat box truck formation.

Of course, some people also think that the maneuverability of the flat box car array is too poor and they can only move forward at a snail speed. If the enemy does not attack at this speed, the flat box car array will be purely decorated and useless.

But that said, the actual situation is that it is impossible to live in peace on the battlefield. Although Ma Long's flat box truck cannot actively attack the enemy, the enemy cannot stand by. Especially, it is completely impossible for Chen Tai to have a force several times more than the Pioneer Battalion and only watch the fire from a distance from the other side of the river.

Under the temptation of victory, Chen Tai will definitely not give up on the attack. Even if he encounters the most tenacious resistance and makes him pay a great price, he will never shake Chen Tai's determination to attack.

If a plan fails, Chen Tai will have another plan. In short, he will not give up easily, so the battle will continue.

The result of continuous attempts is that the Sima Army soldiers are constantly casualties. In almost every round of attacks, countless Sima cavalry will fall down. Chen Tai's unwillingness will lead to more casualties in the Sima Army.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Tai ordered a check on the number of casualties. The result of the report from the Central Army shocked him. Ten thousand people actually lost more than 4,000 people, of which nearly half of the cavalry lost. His heart suddenly became cold, and it was so miserable.

During today's battle, Chen Tai really didn't pay attention to the casualties. Although he knew that he had paid a considerable price, his biggest thought was on how to attack. In order to destroy this layer of the enemy's turtle shell, he almost racked his brains, tried his best, and used unstoppable methods to try.

But the result was still ruthless. The enemy's box truck was still standing there, still standing still. Even if Sima Jun was at the cost of blood, he could not break through this layer of defense.

In desperation, Chen Tai could only order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but he did not retreat to Wen County, but set up camp five miles away from Bingzhou Army.

Because Chen Tai was still not willing to be such a crushing defeat, and the daytime attack was fruitless, he was going to try a night attack. In the dark, is the Bingzhou Army's arrow still as accurate as that?

Besides, after a fierce battle for a day, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army could not have been fought by iron, and they always had to eat and rest. At this time, it was time to launch a sneak attack.

The army that Chen Tai was preparing to attack at night were infantry spearmen and swords and shields who were basically not used during the day. These troops were raising their energy and were full of energy, which was just in handy.

As for cavalry, night combat is prone to trampling on each other, so Chen Tai did not arrange for them to go to war.

After everything was ready, Chen Tai did not rush to attack, but ordered Sima Jun to have a full meal and rest on the spot until around the fourth day of the morning, when he ordered an attack.

Chen Tai is also very experienced in this night battle. Generally speaking, when two armies fight, it is impossible not to be prepared for night attacks, so the Bingzhou Army must have been prepared. So in the first half of the night, Chen Tai kept his troops still and did not launch an attack until the second half of the night.

The second half of the night is the most difficult time for people to suffer, and their mental and willpower is the weakest, especially after fighting a day of war, they were already exhausted, so they opened their eyes and stared at the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, few people could survive.

Chen Tai wanted to seize this opportunity, attack decisively, and catch the Bingzhou Army off guard.

The moonlight was hazy and the night was dark, providing a layer of cover for Sima's attack. Chen Tai led the army to advance quietly and slowly approached the Bingzhou army's chariot formation.

There was a dead silence in the four fields. Chen Tai ordered Sima Jun to remain silent and not to notice any sound. Even when walking, he would take his pace as light as possible. Judging from the current situation, everything went very smoothly. As long as he passed the last arrow, Sima Jun would definitely be able to break through the flat box van formation.

But just as they stepped into the area of ​​an arrow, a sudden sound of gathering clappers sounded in front of them, followed by a sound of killing, arrows were like locusts, and countless torches were lit up, illuminating the surroundings of the flat box carriage array as daytime. In this way, Sima's army's sneak attack would be gone.

In fact, what Chen Tai could have thought of, Ma Long would not have thought that the battle on the battlefield was not only about courage, but also about wits. After the Sima army stopped the attack, it arranged the camp five miles away. Obviously, Chen Tai was unwilling to accept the failure during the day. If the troops were withdrawn, the camp would definitely be further apart. Now that he placed the camp five miles away, it was clearly a different plan.

However, Ma Long did not put all the soldiers on guard. Instead, he simply ate some dry food and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, sending only a small number of sentries to closely monitor Sima Jun's movements on the flat box truck. Once abnormalities were found, he would immediately warn him.

Ma Long knew very well that even if Chen Tai sent troops to attack, he would definitely not choose to go in the first half of the night, so he simply ordered all the members to rest immediately and recover their strength. If the Sima army attacked in the second half of the night, the Bingzhou army would definitely be able to fight in full condition.

Sure enough, after the fourth day, the sentry discovered some figures of Guigui. They immediately rang the clapper to warn, and the Bingzhou army, who had been resting for most of the night, immediately entered the battle.

The Pioneer Battalion has no other military service, only crossbowmen, so at any time, it is a dense rain of arrows like locusts. Even if the target is not visible in the dark, this undifferentiated rain of arrows can make the enemy unable to move forward.

Sima Jun had just stepped into the area of ​​a single arrow from the flat box truck, and was hit by a blow. The sword and shield soldiers were in better condition. They kept holding the shield in front to provide them with protection, but the spearmen were in a bad mood and had no defense ability, which caused them to suffer a catastrophe in an instant. Within just a few breaths, Sima Jun's soldiers fell to the ground. When the rest of the soldiers saw that the situation was not good, they quickly fled in panic.
