Chapter 988: Scuffle

"Horse Army...... Sortie! ”

With Ma You's order, four teams of 500 heavy horses were fully armed and took the lead in attacking, charging at the Korean cavalry in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the smile on Ma You's face didn't last long, because he realized that the distance between the Korean cavalry on the opposite side and Wu Ji's army was too close, only more than a mile, which meant that he had to immediately judge the route of the opposite Han cavalry's roundabout attack and send the remaining three thousand cavalry to intercept it, otherwise, once the opposite Han cavalry rushed into the hinterland of Wu Ji's army, his horse army would face the embarrassing situation of throwing rat traps because of the consideration of friendly troops.

"Left or right?"

Ma You frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and gave an order, sending the remaining ranger cavalry to attack from the left side, that is, from the west side, to block the attack of the opposite Han cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry general of the Han army, Xin Zhan, led the cavalry under his command to rush towards the Wuji army, and on the way they must advance, four teams of 500 heavy cavalry quickly gathered together, ready to hedge with the Han cavalry.

But unfortunately, as Ma You had expected, the Korean cavalry general Xin Zan had no intention of hedging with the Youma Heavy Cavalry at all, and after seeing the heavily armed Youma Heavy Cavalry attacking, he immediately gave instructions and commanded the cavalry under his command to make a roundabout evasion in an attempt to bypass the Youma Army.

As for the circuitous route, he also chose the west!

I saw that on the battlefield, two thousand heavy horses and heavy horsemen charged straight ahead, while the Korean cavalry hundreds of feet away in front of them turned westward.

"Guess right!"

Seeing this, the horses who were mixed in the three thousand horses on the second dispatch were shocked.

In comparison, the complexion of Han General Xin Zan on the opposite side is not so good-looking.

Because when he was leading the cavalry around the heavy horse, he suddenly found that there was another heavily armed heavy horse in front of him and launched a straight charge towards him, and he knew very well what it meant.

"Damn, I guessed!"

Xin Zan cursed secretly in his heart, but at this time, it was obviously too late to make an evasive move, so he could only hope that the soldiers under his command would maintain restraint and avoid the opposite Shangshui Wei cavalry as much as possible, so as not to rush up to death because of a hot head.

"Boom—"

The first 2,000 heavy cavalry rushed into the air and were successfully evaded by all the Han cavalry of Xin Zhan's army, while the last 3,000 heavy cavalry led by Ma You personally happened to collide head-on with the Korean cavalry of Xin Zhan's army, which had just finished evading the move.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of South Korean cavalrymen flipped on their backs, fell off their horses, and were trampled by the roaring horses and heavy horses.

In the blink of an eye, thousands more South Korean cavalry lost their lives.

In just a few moments, Xin Zhan lost at least 2,000 cavalry, and the heavy cavalry suffered few casualties.

This made Xin Zhan's jealousy of this Wei Qi team increase a few points again.

However, at this moment, Xin Zan didn't care about how many casualties there were among the cavalry under his command, so he quickly whipped his horse and led the cavalry under his command to try to force past the edge of Ma You's 3,000 traveling horses.

At this time, Ma You also judged Xin Zhan's intentions from the movement route of Han Qi on the opposite side, but the embarrassing thing was that compared to the light cavalry, the heavy cavalry was too cumbersome, and it was difficult to change direction when charging, so that he could only watch as the large army of Xin Zhan's army passed by him.

Of course, even so, there were hundreds of Han cavalry who crashed into the Youma Army when they passed by, but after paying a heavy price, Xin Zhanjun finally got rid of the Youma Heavy Cavalry.

At this moment, in front of the cavalry of the Xin Zan Army, it was thousands of soldiers and soldiers who were waiting solemnly.

"Kill!"

With his legs clamped around the horse's belly, Xin Zan raised his arms and shouted, giving the order to attack the cavalry under his command.

Hearing this, the Korean cavalry of the front team rushed straight to the Shangshui sergeant on the opposite side.

"Fight!"

Wu Ji yelled.

In an instant, the Shangshui saber and shield soldiers in the front row under his command raised their shields sideways, ready to resist the onslaught of the Korean cavalry from the opposite side.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, about five or six hundred Korean cavalry crashed headlong into the defense line of the Wuji saber and shield soldiers, which seemed to be an impregnable wall, making those sword and shield soldiers in the front row feel as if they had been hit head-on by the galloping herd, their eyes were full of gold stars, and their arms were numb.

Even, there was a sound of bone cracking in the arms of many Shangshui soldiers, their heads were covered with cold sweat, and they gritted their teeth desperately to barely maintain the posture of raising the shield.

In comparison, the five or six hundred Korean cavalry were not much better, they felt as if they had hit a piece of iron plate head-on, and their heads were bleeding.

"Blocked!"

"Blocked?"

At the same time, Wu Ji and Xin Zhan invariably had a sentence in their hearts, but the meaning was completely different.

Unlike Wu Ji, who was in high spirits, Xin Zhan's eyes flickered, and it was not difficult to see that his mind had been shaken, after all, the vanguard of the cavalry under his command had already crashed to death on the defensive formation of the Wei army opposite.

"What to do? What to do?'

Even if it was Xin Zhan, who had experienced a hundred battles, he couldn't help but be a little flustered at the moment.

At this time, he was leading his cavalry to charge forward halfway, and he was still about sixty or seventy zhang away from Wu Ji's army.

Maybe for the infantry, sixty or seventy zhang is still some distance on the battlefield, but for the cavalry, it is only a blink of an eye.

In other words, the current situation no longer allows Xin Zan to think carefully, whether it is a frontal attack or a roundabout side attack, he must make a decision immediately.

But in the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, Xin Zhan finally gritted his teeth and issued an order to forcibly reverse the direction of the cavalry charge under his command at the last moment, forcibly slowing down the speed of the cavalry charge, and Kankan reversed the direction in front of Wu Ji's army, and went west with a movement route almost parallel to the formation of sword and shield soldiers in the front row of Wu Ji's army.

I have to say that only elite cavalry such as the South Korean cavalry can make such an amazing scene, if it is an ordinary cavalry, it is very likely that it will collapse because Xin Chan ordered a change of direction at the last moment, causing a tragedy of trampling on each other.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Wu Ji couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Why...... Why don't you attack it?'

He looked at the Korean cavalry in disbelief, and there was a slight puzzle in his eyes.

But then, the confusion on his face was replaced by anger, for he was already aware of the intentions of these Han cavalry—the other party was clearly trying to bypass his intercepting infantry and attack the main team of the Shang Shui army.

You must know that at this moment, in the main team of the Shangshui Army, whether it is the rear army of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, or the Chinese army commanded by Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, if these two are attacked by the Korean cavalry, it is likely to affect the entire battle situation.

Thinking of this, Wu Ji didn't care about anything else, waved his hand and shouted: "Block them!" ”

Hearing this, the sword and shield soldiers in the front row moved forward one after another, which caused some confusion in the formation of the front line of the Wu Ji Army.

And at this moment, Xin Zhan's cavalry general "Fang Bi" seized the defensive loopholes exposed by the Wu Ji Army, led thousands of cavalry, and finally tore through the defense line of the Wu Ji Army, and rushed into the hinterland of the Wu Ji Army.

At the same time, in the north, about a mile away from Wu Ji's army, the Youma army was able to slow down its speed and adjust its direction.

As long as the light cavalry does not want to entangle with the heavy cavalry, once the latter is thrown off, it will be difficult for the latter to catch up with the light cavalry.

For example, at the moment, Han divided the cavalry under Xin Zan into two, one led by the general Fang Bi to directly enter the hinterland of the Wu Ji army, and the other was led by Xin Zan himself, trying to attack the rear of the Shang Shui army in a roundabout way, and what was the Youma Heavy Cavalry doing at this time? The heavy rider was struggling to adjust his direction, and it was too late to gallop to help.

"General Wu Ji's side...... What's going on? The Shang Shui Army did not block Han Qi's raid? It's impossible, the Yan Ling Army can block it, why is the Shang Shui Army disrupting the formation?"

Noticing the movement from Wu Jijun's side, Ma You's face showed a little solemnity.

Suddenly, he noticed Xin Zhan, who was attacking the rear of the Shangshui army in a roundabout way, and suddenly understood in his heart: it must be General Wu Ji who ordered the initiative to meet the rear army in order to intercept Han Cai's sneak attack on the back army, which led to the collapse of the Shangshui army's formation.

I have to say that even the horse tour who "knows the many shortcomings of heavy riding but is still keen on this type of troops" feels powerless at this moment.

Because if the cavalry under his command is light cavalry, he can still rush back to help and help Wu Ji, but it is a pity that his horse army is currently heavy cavalry, so unless he ignores the casualties of friendly troops, otherwise, like the chaotic battle situation on the side of Wu Ji's army in the distance, there is obviously no room for intervention in the heavy cavalry.

"General Wu Ji ......"

Ma You couldn't help but be a little worried about those young merchant generals.

I have to say that Ma You's worries are not unnecessary, because at this moment, Wu Ji's army has been disturbed by the cavalry led by Fang Bi, the general under Xin Zhan, and although Wu Ji has commanded his soldiers to make changes in formation again and again, he still can't stabilize the situation.

In this case, Wu Ji's eyes were fixed on Han General Fang Bi.

At this time, Han General Fang Bi led the cavalry to raid back and forth in the Wu Ji army, and at the same time secretly expressed his disdain for the Wei army in front of him: although the combat effectiveness of this Wei army was indeed very strong, even if it was killed by his cavalry, the sword and shield soldiers still protected the crossbowmen independently, making it difficult for them to kill the crossbowmen.

『…… But the command of this Wei army is really terrible, and I don't know which crappy general is in command."

Fang Bizheng thought disdainfully, and suddenly, the war horse under his crotch shook, let out a wail, and then fell to his knees with a pop, throwing him out of the way.

"What's going on?"

Fang Bi, who was stunned by the ground, stood up, and then he was shocked to see that a spear had pierced the belly of the war horse under his crotch.

"Who?!"

It may be the instinct of a military general, so that Fang Bi subconsciously judged the direction of the spear, and then he was shocked to see that a Wei general in bright armor actually waved the war knife in his hand to kill this side, and rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye, raising the knife in his hand high.

"Not good!"

Because Fang had just lost his long weapon when he fell off his horse, Fang Bi, who was empty-handed, subconsciously pulled out the long sword at his waist, ready to resist the hard blow of the Wei general.

Hearing only a "cluck", the long sword in his hand was actually cut off by Na Wei's sword, and even the other party's blow still had a strong residual force, slashing heavily on his shoulder, slashing his entire left shoulder.

"This power...... The other party's arm strength is so strong?!'

Fang Bi only had time to make such an emotion, and was stabbed by General Wei and killed on the spot.

"Poof." The body fell to the ground.

At this time, the nearby Korean cavalry were stunned.

After all, in their opinion, Fang Bi was also a powerful general in the army, but he was killed on the spot with two swords in front of that Wei general?

Just when they were dumbfounded, the Wei general, or Wu Ji, the general of the Shang and Shui Army, leaned sideways, grabbed the breastplate of the killed Fang Bi with his left hand, raised it with one hand, and shouted: "All the Shang and Shui soldiers will listen to the order, I am Wu Ji, the enemy general has been awarded the head, and you will quickly surround and kill the rest of the people!" ”

Hearing this, the morale of the Shang Shui soldiers was immediately boosted, but the Korean cavalry here were at a loss.

"Whew, I'm still used to this......

Throwing the corpse back to the ground in his hand, Wu Ji let out a long breath, and then he turned his gaze to the direction where Han General Xin Zan led his army.

After half a ring, he said to several Shangshui soldiers around him: "Pick up a few riding spears from the ground and give them to me." ”

"Huh? …… Be! ”
