736 Stalking
The ability to capture people's hearts made Ma Jinzhong win the great name of 'mixed 100,000'.
The value of this name is different from the nicknames of other generals in the Ming army today, and this name is the resounding name of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai when he was mixed in the entire northern battlefield and fought viciously with the Ming army.
From the literal meaning of this name, he can have 100,000 horses in a short period of time with just one word 'mixed'.
After a big battle, Li Guohan was so fierce that half of his cloak was burned.
Ma Jinzhong also pressed and charged forward with the whole army just now, but he was unharmed.
And he also had a unique eye to find that there was a Jia Lama in the enemy army holding a green dragon glaive knife in his hand.
He grinned, walked over, and told the Jiala, "This thing made you blind, give me the knife, and you will lie down for a while." Then the Kala was so obedient that he gave him his head.
At this moment, Ma Jinzhong heard Li Guohan and the Qing soldiers shouting: "Formation!" Formation! ”
He thought that the opportunity had come, and he was almost jumping up with joy, and this bad water still retained a childlike innocence.
He charged with his feet while holding up his new gift, the Blue Dragon Glaive, and brandished it and shouted, "Trapped! Trapped! ”
Under the rendering of the cloak he wore for pretending, it looked like a fluttering, swaying, bloody, and strange red lantern scurrying around.
The trophy of happiness, the Blue Dragon Glaive, was more like a pole hanging behind a red lantern.
He dragged a broadsword, jumping, shouting, and charging. Everyone else is like a pack of wolves in a vicious fight, and he is more like a cartoon image of a group of wolves playing and running happily in a vicious fight, but this cartoon image is setting off a burst of flying sand.
Under the leadership of this cartoon image, the Ming army behind him and Liu Wenxiu, who rushed to participate in the battle, were also shouting at the same time: "Trapped!" Trapped! ”
The shield array of the Qing army is in the shape of a half-moon, facing the Ming army in the east and south, and the sword and shield hand in the formation holds the shield; The pikeman peeks his spear out of his shield in the shape of a hedgehog. With the re-engagement of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the battle began to enter the climax stage.
Li Guohan ordered the front army to form a formation and the rear army to rest and stand by, while Liu Wenxiu's reinforcements were spearmen in front, archers in the center, and other arms in the rear.
Ma Jinzhong's troops faced a total of 32,000 people in Xi'an City in the east, and since Meng Qiaofang's troops in Xi'an City had not yet attacked, these horses must continue to be reserved and cannot be mobilized.
And he faced the west, corresponding to Li Guohan's original 40,000 Ming army, and only about 20,000 were left at this time. One can imagine the fierceness of the battle and the enormous sacrifice of the Ming army on this morning.
No matter how Ma Jinzhong stalked Li Guohan, Li Guohan also resolutely continued to adjust the formation.
Ma Jinzhong found that it was a bit of a loss to continue to entangle with Li Guohan, and there was also the danger of being attacked by Meng Qiaofang in Xi'an City. So after the old horse bluffed for a while, he had no choice but to retract, and after readjusting the formation and stabilizing the defense, he put his mind at ease.
As it turned out, it was this adjustment that saved him and his entire army before the enemy's general attack.
After the adjustment, Lao Ma, who couldn't stay idle, divided the 6,000 people in the western formation to continue to respond to Liu Wenxiu's attack on Li Guohan.
These 6,000 people can only assist Liu Wenxiu to attack Li Guohan together.
He had never forgotten that there was a group of enemies in Xi'an City behind him who were ready to hunt him down at any time, and now those enemies were staring at him with fierce eyes, as long as he leaked a flaw, Meng Qiaofang would definitely rush towards him.
Liu Wenxiu, on the other side, is naturally confident in the second fight with Li Guohan this time, of course, with the combat effectiveness of his men, it can be said that it is the only force in the Guanzhong Ming Army that can conduct field battles with Meng Qiaofang and Li Guohan's Liaodong elite.
These nearly 20,000 people are all veterans who have followed him and the former Great Western Army for seven or eight years, and some have even followed him for even longer, as far as ten years ago, so he can have this self-confidence.
Although the loyal battalion in Li Jin's hands is also extraordinary, Li Jin's old troops have experienced several battle losses and attrition, and now there are only about 7,000 real old comrades-in-arms in the formation of 'one tiger'. If Li Jin was going to face the elite of tens of thousands of Qing troops here, he would definitely not be the opponent of the two armies of Meng Qiaofang and Li Guohan.
Besides, what was Meng Qiaofang doing at this time, why didn't he come out yet? At this time, Meng Qiaofang has been waiting, waiting for the last opportunity to appear. At that time, he will send the trump card that he has been preparing in Xi'an City for a long time.
Liu Wenxiu must hope that this time, he will not make the same ill-planned mistake as Hanzhong.
Last time, he used all the recruits in his hands as the front army, and arranged them in the camp to face Li Guohan's frontal onslaught. As a result, the battalion was quickly broken through. In the end, the main force in his hands failed to intercept Li Guohan's sharp spirit on the battlefield of the rear camp, and the consequences of losing thousands of soldiers in a bloody battle made him feel quite guilty. So this time he placed all the elites of 19,500 at the forefront of the charging team, and the remaining 5,000 recruits in the Battle of Hanzhong were only used for the rear of the palace this time.
Your Highness? really needed, of course he was also thinking about Meng Qiaofang, Meng Qiaofang did not send a single soldier at this time, he was waiting for the critical moment to attack him or Ma Jinzhong's flank.
The Qing army in formation had no bows and arrows at this time, only waiting for the impact of the Ming army's Pingyu camp, which they were also very afraid of.
For Liu Wenxiu and Li Guohan, both armies made a difficult trek from the Qinling Plank Road and came to the city of Xi'an.
Although there were cavalry sequences in both armies, it was a pity that there were no war horses. At this time, the more than 1,000 Qing troops of Daniel Zhang, the westernmost part of Li Guohan's formation, were only infantry that needed to dismount and fight.
For the huge Bashan and Qinling Mountains, horses can only be a burden, and their only role is not to carry goods, but to consume more supplies.
At this time, the battlefield has been shrouded in dark clouds that have been brewing for a long time, and there are bursts of yin wind and strange howls, the yin wind is rushing to half of the Qing army's face, as if with a threat, blowing in the ears of the Qing army trembling and saying: "It won't be too long, sober up, this time it will be the end of the war!" ”
Liu Wenxiu's front formation had already killed in front of Li Guohan's shield array, but they did not use their shields to hit the shield array of the Ming army as they did when the Qing army rushed to the formation, Li Guohan relied on the stronger arms of the Qing army and the strength of a bull, and quickly broke up Ma Jinzhong's front formation, and Ma Jinzhong was defeated again.
In the process of approaching the enemy, Liu Wenxiu keenly found that Li Guohan's troops had run out of bows and arrows, and because their sword and shield men were the first to attack Ma Jinzhong as the first echelon, the loss at this time was also very large. This made Liu Wenxiu immediately change the initial plan and adjust the way of attacking.
