Chapter 232: No Weak Soldiers Under Strong Generals (2)

Zhang Lin was angry and urged his horse to rush out of the battle formation, and the Western Route Army was forced to stop advancing. Ma Hua was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered one of his young generals to go to the battle.

Zhang Jun's face was full of anger, and he was very dissatisfied with his son's impulsive behavior. He said to the crowd, "Leave him alone, keep going!" ”

Along with Zhang Jun was Huang Can, a general in the Western Route Army, who, together with Zhang Jun, was in charge of commanding the soldiers of Thanh Hoa City.

Hearing Zhang Jun's words, Huang Can couldn't help but look at Jiao Qiang, wanting to see what he meant. Jiao Qiang understood the seriousness of the situation, so he acquiesced in Zhang Jun's choice and ordered his subordinates to continue to thunder the war drums and march towards the enemy.

Zhang Yan was worried about his younger brother's safety, and he also wanted to urge Ma to help: "I'll go to assist Xiaojun (Zhang Linzi Xiaojun)!" ”

Zhang Jun stopped Zhang Yan with a sigh: "Presumptuous! Whoever dares to act without authorization will be dealt with by military law! ”

Seeing that he couldn't step forward to help, Zhang Yan had no choice but to shout at Zhang Lin: "Xiaojun, come back quickly, don't fall for the enemy's agitation method!" ”

Zhang Lin replied disapprovingly: "Brother, don't worry, although the army is moving forward, when you arrive, I will have already killed the enemy general and rushed back!" ”

The young general who was pointed out by Ma Hua heard Zhang Lin's words and raised the weapon in his hand and rushed towards him: "Arrogant, you don't even take me in your eyes, I'll take your Xiang Shang's head!" ”

In an instant, the two of them passed by, and Jingguo's young general fell directly off the horse, and it seemed that he couldn't survive.

Zhang Lin raised his head proudly, pointed at Ma Hua and said, "Who is embarrassed?" If it weren't for the urgency of time, would we still be afraid to fight you? ”

Ma Hua squinted his eyes, the opponent's army did not stop, and the fighting generals on his side were also defeated, which was really worth the loss! The young players on the other side have some skills, and they should not be ordinary people. Now I don't care about any face, so I go directly to the army to capture this general and blackmail them!

Thinking of this, Ma Hua waved his hand: "Arrogant, I'll let you know how powerful Grandpa is!" Rush with me and capture this man alive! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Lin directly scolded: "The villain who has no promise, he said that he would fight the general, and when he saw that he couldn't beat his grandfather, he would attack the whole army, and let you die today!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Lin turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Western Route Army: "Daddy, I brought the enemy army over!" ”

Zhang Jun was somewhat comforted in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhang Lin to be brave and strategic, and directly led the enemy army over to shorten the time of the battle, so that he could support the next city faster.

Seeing this, Jiao Qiang immediately yelled at the soldiers: "Stand! ”

The soldiers of the Western Route Army listened to the order and immediately stood in place, holding up their halberds and waiting for the battle.

Ma Hua didn't expect the other party to run away like this, and now he is in a dilemma. If you continue to pursue, you will be in close contact with the Western Route Army, and the opposing infantry will be in full array, and it is not clear what the consequences will be if they rush forward head-on. If you choose to retreat, then this station will not only lose a military general in vain, but also lose a lot of morale, which is really worth the loss!

But time waits for no one, just when Ma Hua hesitated, the Jingguo cavalry was already approaching the Western Route Army, and it was too late to withdraw at this time. Ma Huayi gritted his teeth and yelled at his subordinates: "Rush me!" ”

The 20,000 infantry of the Western Route Army were divided into nine square formations, each with 2,000 people, and the three square formations were in a row, and a total of three rows formed a larger square formation. There was a road between the nine small formations, which was used to lure the cavalry into the gaps.

Zhang Lin and his horse were worried about entering the gap in the formation of the Western Route Army. The Jingguo cavalry followed closely, and in order to avoid a frontal impact with the infantry standing in formation, many cavalry rushed into the gap with Zhang Lin, and the result was in the arms of the Western Route Army. The soldiers in the formation stabbed out their halberds one after another, the gap was narrow, and the Jingguo cavalry could not avoid it and was directly cut off the horse.

Ma Huachong didn't go forward, and when he saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Rush towards the crowd for me, push it straight over, and don't enter the enemy's formation!" ”

Jingguo's cavalry also launched a fierce attack and launched a suicidal charge towards the formation of the Western Route Army, even if it was death, it would disrupt the formation of the Western Route Army.

The battle heated up, and screams erupted. The Western Route Army gained the upper hand in the early stages of the battle by virtue of its formational superiority. But as the Jingguo cavalry launched a suicidal charge, many of the nine square formations were scattered. Once the infantry lost the advantage of the formation, they became the prey of the cavalry, and slowly the Jingguo cavalry turned the situation back!

Jiao Qiang and Zhang Jun wanted to organize the scattered infantry to form a formation again as soon as possible, but the battle situation was too chaotic at this time, and the command could not be effective at all.

Ma Hua saw that the situation was becoming more and more favorable to him, and he was overjoyed: although the prince only let himself drag down the enemy army, if he directly wiped out the enemy army, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Thinking of this, Ma Hua excitedly shouted to his subordinates: "Rush me!" Flatten them! ”

Although the three square formations in the first row of the Western Route Army were scattered, the six square formations in the last two rows still had the strength to fight. In order to protect the scattered soldiers from being slaughtered by the enemy, Jiao Qiang directly ordered the back two rows of six square formations to start marching towards the enemy army to collect the scattered soldiers.

The Jingguo cavalry had already killed the red eyes, and when they saw the Western Route Army coming, they rushed forward without hesitation. Just when Ma Hua was about to take the Western Route Army in one fell swoop, patches of dust suddenly rose from the rear of the Western Route Army, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

Ma Hua, as the commander of the Jingguo cavalry, naturally knew that this was the scene when the cavalry charged, obviously there was a cavalry behind the Western Route Army who was charging, although he didn't know the number of the other party, but it was certain that the other party must be the reinforcements of the Western Route Army!

"Jingguo dog thieves are going to be rampant, and Wu Xiujun Pang Yuan is here!"

Pang Yuan rushed out first, and saw that the Western Route Army and the Jingguo cavalry had already started a battle, and led more than 5,000 cavalry of the Wuxiu Army to the west of the battlefield, preparing to attack the flank of the Jingguo cavalry.

Ma Hua saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. His own army was charging, and it was impossible to suddenly turn around. The formation of the Western Route Army is solid, and it is impossible for their own side to crush the opponent with a single charge, so it is bound to fight with the Western Route Army. If your flank is charged by enemy cavalry at this time, you will definitely suffer heavy losses!

"Go around to the east, ready to turn back!" Ma Hua made a quick decision, the long pain is better than the short pain, although the cavalry in the front row who launched the charge will definitely not have time to go east, but in this way, at least some soldiers can be saved, so as not to fall to the point of no return.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and the cavalry in front of Jingguo had already intersected with the Western Route Army, and they crashed into the formation of the Western Route Army one by one. But no one followed, because the cavalry behind had already obeyed Mahua's order and began to circle eastward.

But at this time, Pang Yuan had already led the cavalry of the Wu Xiu Army to kill, and they charged from the west to the east, directly rushing to the flank of the Jingguo cavalry. In this way, the situation on the battlefield turned in an instant, the front of the Jingguo cavalry was the western route army formation step by step, and the west side was the wolf-like Wuxiu army. The Jingguo cavalry, which was attacked from both sides, was crushed at the touch of a button and fled eastward.
