Choosing to fight at night is actually a dangerous thing, but if it is in the daytime, when the light is sufficient, there are only mountains in the northwest and north around the county seat, and the other areas are still flat.

No matter who it is, with 10,000 against 10,000 and 10,000 against 30,000, the difference is not just in numbers, but more in psychology......

Outside the city of Pingding, the sound of war drums and horns complemented each other, as if it was the prelude to a grand war......

The Xianbei cavalry, who had always been wandering and pulling raids, now had to fight on the battlefield chosen by Fei Qian. In fact, both the left and right wings are not very flat areas, and most of them are rice fields in Pingding County, so although it is possible for war horses to gallop, if you are not careful in the dark night, you will also trip over various small ravines for irrigation.

Pingding county is also a border county, so in the northwest direction is mostly a small hill, there is no city gate, and the original Xianbei people did not think that there would be a bold Han army will come to intercept, the whole temporary camp is also set up in the south of the city for convenience, now the front of the flat ground and Fei Qian interlocking up the baggage car, Xianbei wants to break through under the state of cavalry on the left and right wings, it is not easy, therefore, the choice of the left wing or the right wing to break through, it is reasonable.

The sound of the galloping hooves of the war horses echoed in the heavens and the earth, and also stirred in the hearts of every warrior.

Da Danghu paid close attention to the movements of the Han army, and his main direction of attack was the left flank, but if after eliminating the left flank, it led to the turmoil of the Han army's infantry soldiers, and the entire battle formation had a gap, he didn't mind directly turning the direction and giving the Han army's central command part of the fatal blow.

With three waves of strong attacks, even if the Han cavalry is brave, after all, the absolute gap in numbers, even if the Han cavalry can break through the first cavalry line, it will not be able to continue to sprint the second cavalry line, not to mention the third Xianbei cavalry front, under the continuous attrition, those Han cavalry on the left wing will definitely be defeated!

It will even wipe out the Han cavalry on the left flank!

The cavalry of the Han army must not be more than their own, so their own strategy is feasible!

The big pawn was gambling, he bet that the Han army did not have more cavalry than himself, so he concentrated his strength and prepared to deal a heavy blow to the Han army's cavalry, and then the remaining two-legged Han soldiers were not very threatening, and he would always be by his side to torture until he was completely defeated, just like he had done with the Xianbei King before.

The big boss roared: "Give these Han dogs the final blow!" Let them know we're awesome! ”

"Oh oh oh ......" The Xianbei cavalry let out a burst of shouts and ran towards Ma Yan's cavalry line.

Under the encouragement of Da Danghu, in the sound of whining horns, the Xianbei cavalry that originally rushed to the middle and right flank of the Han army also crossed an arc, and together with the cavalry that had been inserted into the left flank before, like three huge waves, viciously slapped towards the cavalry on the left flank of the Han army.

The Xianbei cavalry was turning, galloping, and their hands were not idle, and one by one the arrows were thrown out high, falling from the sky, shooting at the soldiers in the central battle formation of the Han army, splashing blood flowers.

The shield and the baggage cart could only defend one side, and the blow from the side and overhead made the Han soldiers unable to defend themselves, and one after another the Han soldiers fell, but these soldiers did not take half a step back, they held their shields, relied on their comrades and roared, defended, and counterattacked.

Huang Cheng shouted loudly: "The archers are responsible for the front!" Crossbowmen turn to the left! Shoot with all your might! "Although the middle formation suffered from the Xianbei arrow rain, after all, the Xianbei cavalry had not broken through, and the crossbowmen were still in a relatively safe position. And now they can only draw out crossbowmen to support the left flank, and the rest of the men have to defend the part of the Xianbei cavalry that is attacking head-on......

At the same time, Xu Huang, who was on the right flank, raised his big axe and led the cavalry on the right flank to the central battle array......

Fei Qian, who was in the central formation, also straightened his voice and shouted at the soldiers operating the trebuchet at the rear of the military formation: "Turn the direction of the trebuchet!" Interrupt the queue on the left! ”

But now after a long time of throwing, two trebuchets have been damaged, and only four can continue to operate, and the fireball is only used as a lighting and blocking effect after the initial shock effect, and the direct lethality is still too weak.

Four or five thousand Xianbei cavalry ran over the ground in Pingding County, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves knocked on the ground, like a ferocious ancient giant beast, rumbling directly towards Ma Yan's Han army cavalry.

For a while, Ma Yan on the left was under the greatest pressure since the start of the war!

The bite between the same class of troops is the most ferocious!

The cavalry is most afraid of the cavalry!

What to do?

Although Ma Yan now has more than a thousand cavalry in his hands, it does not mean that he can fight four or five thousand Xianbei cavalry head-on!

Ma Yan seemed unusually calm at this moment, neither affected by the sound of the huge war horse running, nor did he forget the strategy he had formulated before the battle.

In fact, in war, there are many kinds of strategies and tactics, but the essence is only one point, how comfortable you are, how uncomfortable the enemy is, do whatever you want. Whatever the enemy tries to do, destroy him, obstruct him, drag him down, and do everything possible to achieve what he wants to achieve.

The Xianbei people obviously wanted to avoid the interference of the Chinese army and the right flank, and first fought a decisive battle with their left flank with all their might, and then turned to flee or choose other offensive directions......

So now there is only one choice.

Mayan shouted the order: "Turn! Shrink the formation! Sprinkle thistle! ”

Tribulus terrestris is a cute little thing that has appeared on the battlefield since the Warring States period, and it is very practical and easy to lay as a simple small object that hinders travel. Fei Qian brought some from Pingyang, and also collected some in Xihe County, and now they are evenly distributed to the cavalry on the left and right flanks, in order to prevent the situation of Xianbei people and dogs jumping over the wall......

Under Mayan's orders, the left flank troops, which had been slowly spreading like an outstretched wing, began to turn their horses' heads and shrink into formation, and at the same time began to throw the cartle from the cloth bag on the side of the horse.

In order to lay these small things faster, many cavalry even cut the bottom of the cloth bag with a knife, let it scatter to the ground as the horses jumped and run, and then accelerated to the front after making sure that they were finished......
