Chapter 0597 Unexpected
A whining horn sounded, and the front army of Cao's army was already marching forward in small steps, ready to charge.
The front army of the Han army did not have any arrangement, only to resist the enemy in the flesh.
Seeing that the front army of the Cao army, which was like a sharp cone, was aimed at him, Ma Jian was even more panicked - in this case, what did it say in the war book?
There was no time to think about it, Cao Jun began to jog, and then gradually accelerated, rushing towards this side like an iron stream.
Ma Tan thought that he could also be like the prime minister, talking and laughing, so that the three armies could listen to orders, strategize, and play the enemy in the palm of his hand.
But when he really faced the enemy, he found that his hands and feet were trembling slightly, and for a while, he only felt a blank in front of him......
Although Huang Xian, the general brought by Ma Tan, was also trembling, he was finally sober, and hurriedly pushed Ma Yan, "General, hurry up and give an order!" The thief rushed over. ”
"Order, yes, don't panic."
Ma Tan was pushed awake, his eyes looked at the torrent in front of him, he felt the vibration under his feet, his lips trembled, and he wanted to force himself to calm down.
Finished!
Huang Xian's heart was cold, this General Ma is good at talking about military strategies on weekdays, and he still thinks he is a rare general, why is he like this when he is on the battlefield now?
Thinking of this, his eyes glanced behind him.
On the contrary, Ma Jian was pushed this time, and his consciousness finally came to his senses, he was inexperienced, and he knew that he had to resist at this time.
Otherwise, if you are driven back to the street pavilion like the defeated army of Luoyang, it will already be considered fate, and it is not impossible to be trampled on the ground directly by the horse's hooves and die in the chaos.
At that moment, he gritted his teeth and pulled out his long sword, and issued the first command, "Release the arrow!" ”
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang knew that he did not have many generals in his hands, so when training soldiers, he attached great importance to the discipline of soldiers.
Although there was chaos in the rear, the soldiers in front had already lined up in formation, just waiting for the commander's order.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Cao thief was about to rush to the front, the order finally sounded behind them, and the soldiers instinctively shot arrows according to the requirements of the training, and the first wave of arrows finally shot out.
It's a pity that the distance is already too close, and the best distance for archery has been lost, and the crossbow arrows have only had time to shoot one wave, and the second wave of bows and arrows is also scarce.
Although some of the Cao thieves fell off their horses at the front, more people had already rushed up and slammed into the front of the Han army.
The front army of the Han army, which formed a temporary formation, was torn open at once.
The banner of the Chinese army was turned again, and the Han army behind shouted and rushed up to make up for it, and the crumbling front was not broken through after all.
Cao's cavalry quickly dispersed from both sides and turned back to regroup.
Although the first wave of impact was blocked, Ma Yan's heart was on fire, because he knew that his temporary weak formation would not be able to support it for a long time.
He was about to take the opportunity to turn around and gather the rear army, how could Zhang He give him this opportunity?
The first charge was just a temptation, but it was enough for Zhang He to roughly find out the situation of the Han army.
Although there weren't too many horses brought with us, this was not the time to take care of them.
This Han army coming from the east is obviously the defender from Jieting, as long as the other party is defeated, there should not be many more people in Jieting, and it will be easy to take it at that time.
So the second attack arranged by Zhang He was much more violent, and he directly broke through the front row of the Han army and fought with Ma Tan's Chinese army.
However, the rear army was chaotic by the Luoyang rout at the very beginning, and it was unable to support it for a while.
What's more important is that after this battle, the infantry behind Cao's army has already followed.
Although Ma Tan tried his best to resist, in this case, the rash encounter between the infantry and the cavalry was already considered to be a disadvantage.
But he doesn't have much experience, how can he take advantage of a famous general like Zhang He and reverse the disadvantage with manpower?
The defeated army of Luoyang took the lead in fleeing, and the rear army saw that the front army was scattered, and the Chinese army was fighting hard, and the morale was even lower at the moment, and there was no desire to fight.
Already the cavalry of Cao's army had come around, ready to storm from the flanks.
Ma Tan is staggering from the left to the right, and he is becoming more and more insufficient.
When the news of the flank rout came, the front soldiers finally couldn't resist it, and Ma Tan had no mobile forces at hand to deal with it in time, and the whole formation finally dispersed.
I don't know who took the lead and ran backwards, and the army finally collapsed.
Ma Tan didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and was coerced by the rout and retreated.
At this time, the sentry detective was able to spread the news of Ma Tan's encounter with Zhang He to the street pavilion, and Liu Yin was dumbfounded on the spot: When will Fansu Dao be able to walk the army? Cao Thief was able to break Luoyang so quickly?
Liu Yin learned that although he did not approve of Ma Tan's easy lead to leave when the situation in Luoyang was unclear, so as not to be attacked by Cao thieves in the south.
But his thoughts actually have one thing in common with Ma Yan, that is, there will not be too many Cao thieves from Fansu Road, and Li Sheng can defend the city with the strength in his hands, even if he can't beat it.
The difference is that Liu Yin thinks that as long as Luoyang holds on for a few days, Cao Thief can only have no choice but to retreat.
Ma Tan thought that he could join forces with Li Shengli of Lüyang and annihilate Cao's army.
Neither of them thought that Cao Jun would be able to break through Lüyang's defense.
What Liu Yin didn't expect was still to come.
He also thought that the sentinel had made a mistake, so he sent several more groups of people to check on it.
This time, the sentinel came back with an even more shocking message: General Ma was also defeated.
Ma Tan was not only defeated, but also defeated very quickly, and had already fled to this side.
Liu Yin confirmed the news, and was like being devoured by lightning on the spot, and his face was full of misery, "Ma Jian Pifu!" Such a good situation as the Northern Expedition was destroyed by your hands! You are really a sinner of the Han Dynasty! ”
"General, what shall we do?"
The general asked with a pale face.
"What else can I do, I can only stick to the street pavilion and listen to the whole country!"
Liu Yin's eyes were resolute, he couldn't care about finding out why Zhang He could break Luoyang first, and then defeat Ma Jian one after another, and now the most important thing is to quickly arrange for the soldiers to guard the street pavilion.
"Now that the back road has been cut off, only the 10,000 horses of General Feng on Longguan can return to save the street pavilion."
Feng Yong was already the highest-ranking general he could contact at the moment, and as soon as the street pavilion was lost, the army on Longguan could only wait for death, so after Liu Yin reacted, he sent a messenger as soon as possible.
As for how Feng Yong made a decision after receiving the news, it was not up to Liu Yin to decide, the only thing he could do at the moment was to try his best to stay for two more days.
Soon there were routs coming in droves from the west side of the pavilion.
"Open the door, open the door! The thief is coming! ”
The disheveled army ran to the gate and shouted loudly.
Liu Yin stood on the wall of the wall, his face was grim, "The big war is ahead, you can't open the camp door privately!" If you don't want to die, you can quickly go around the back of the walled city and assemble yourself, and I will help you stop it. ”
The rout army rushed all the way, just thinking that they could escape from the pursuit of the Cao thieves, and the camp in front of them seemed to be the best place to hide.
Now when he heard Liu Yin's words, he was extremely frightened, and under the instinct of survival, he suddenly scolded, "Thief! Do you want me to die at the hands of the thief? Open the door quickly! ”
Someone took the lead, and the soldiers who followed followed followed loudly and made a loud noise, which had the meaning of attacking the gate of the village.
But when Liu Yin was on the southern expedition back then, he was often sent as a vanguard along the way, killing the enemy and killing generals, and he was a bloody figure, how could he be compared with Ma Yan, a new man who had never been in charge of the army?
I saw him take a bow and lead the arrow, and with a "peng" sound, the arrow feather shot three feet in front of the rout, and it went straight to the ground.
"Whoever dares to step beyond this arrow will be killed on the spot! Crossbowmen listen and get ready to shoot arrows! ”
Liu Yin shouted.
These words and deeds made the rout slow down a little, and someone in the crowd shouted, "He's just scaring us, let's go together!" ”
A few impulsively heard this, and subconsciously rushed out.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The crossbowman hesitated slightly.
Liu Yin drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Those who don't listen to orders, slash!" ”
"Buzz ......"
Arrows flew like locusts on the wall, and a group of routs who rushed in front were shot to the ground on the spot.
Everyone gasped.
