The formation of the Jin army is a circle formation. Slightly behind the inner ring of this circle is the small mound where the banner is located.

The so-called climbing high and looking far away, in fact, the unconsciously forward of some gunmen on the front line of this side led to the problem of loosening the formation of this side, and Wang Hun, who was standing on a high place, of course saw it.

But there is no way to just see it, and the various voices on the battlefield at this time have completely overwhelmed everything - of course, even if the battlefield is silent at this time, it is useless. The distance is so far, Wang Hun can't rely on roaring, right?

Then there is only the flag commander or the herald to give orders.

But there was a problem here: the commander standing on a high ground would of course be able to quickly notice that something was wrong with his own formation. The front-line commander is also informed of the problem by the shaking of the flag or by the herald. But to what extent can the front-line soldiers, who are standing at a low level, recover in order to satisfy the commander? - They are in the Lushan Mountain, but they don't know what's wrong with their position.

It's hard for an eleven-man football team to maintain ninety minutes of tactical discipline, let alone a few thousand people from hundreds of thousands?

"This military marquis, your position is too high, retreat! Retreat! Stay in formation! ”

"Okay, well, withdraw, but where to withdraw? How many steps to withdraw? ”

This question stumped the soldiers who gave the order: everyone is illiterate, what do you say about the arc formation change, the inner soldiers retreat a few steps less, and the outer soldiers run a few steps more. These things are too difficult for the illiterate.

Therefore, Jiang Weicai said that although the round formation is good, it is very difficult to always maintain the formation. The ability of the main general is only a small aspect, and it depends more on the execution of middle and low-level generals and soldiers.

Just when everyone was a little dazed and adjusted randomly, the earth began to tremble, and everyone knew in their hearts that the cavalry of the Han army had rushed over.

At this time, the Jin army, 40,000 spearmen, after nearly two hours of fighting, had five or six thousand casualties. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that due to the fierceness of the war, middle and low-level officers at all levels unconsciously killed the fire, and the copper whistle in their mouths unconsciously accelerated the frequency. So that the soldiers under his command also continue to move forward. This made the originally arc-shaped spear formation unconsciously turn into a straight line.

The commander of 40,000 sword and shield soldiers, covering the flanks and rear of his own side, was Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi. These two veterans who have fought for decades in the Huainan battlefield. After seeing that the sword and shield soldiers and the spearmen were slowly disjointed and had pulled a certain distance from each other, he didn't care whether doing so would cause Yang Zhao's dissatisfaction afterwards, so he had to send his own soldiers to the front of the gun formation to give orders, asking the spearmen on the outside to retreat a little and keep the formation intact.

But all this was not yet arranged, and the enemy cavalry was rapidly approaching.

"Hey!" Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Ban on the left (west) side of the Jin army completely gave up his efforts to correct the spearmen in front: "Bring our rejected horses up, give orders to the archers in the formation who have not yet gone up, and ask them to transfer some of them over to assist us in our defense." ”

With Jiang Ban's order, tens of thousands of Jin army sword and shield soldiers quickly put the horses that had been done at the beginning and quickly placed them around the perimeter of the formation twice, and about a thousand archers also quickly entered the new, small circle formation formed by these sword and shield soldiers in this gap.

Jiang Ban on the west side did this, and Jiao Yi on the east side also issued a similar order: the Han and Jin families had been facing each other in Jizhou for too long, and the composition of each other's forces was actually very clear to each other. Jiang Ban Jiaoyi knew very well in his heart: the headquarters should use sword and shield soldiers to protect the flanks of the side, for example, it would be attacked by the opponent's superior cavalry. Therefore, before the start of this battle, many rejections were prepared.

When the sword and shield soldiers on both sides of the Jin army began to form a formation on their own, the cavalry of the Han army had already rushed over.

The commander of the right side (west) of the Han army was Wen Yang, and of course, Lu Bu's personal force was needless to say, and his tactical ability to command the cavalry was also extremely strong. After a rough examination of the battlefield situation, Wen Yang quickly made the most reasonable command: All the brothers follow me, we will bypass the enemy's rejection of horses, and kill through the gap between the enemy's swords, shields and spearmen!

On the left side of the Han army was Ma Jie, because of the heavy cavalry in his army, the light cavalry under his command subconsciously slowed down along the way. By the time they arrived in front of the Jin army, Jiao Yi's side had already completed the formation.

Not only that, but because Wang Hun's herald finally found Yang Zhao, the commander-in-chief of the spearmen, in the battle formation, Yang Zhao had already begun to personally adjust the formation of the spearmen. How to adjust it? The easiest way to do it: go back! I don't want to break through your spearmen's defenses, I just want to stabilize the formation first. Prevent a wave of your cavalry from completely disrupting me.

Therefore, when Ma Jie's cavalry arrived, the gap between the spearmen and the sword and shield soldiers on the east side of the Jin army was already beginning to shrink.

However, there are heavy cavalry under Ma Jie's command.

"Lao He, it's up to you."

"Please rest assured, General Zhenxi." After answering Majie in a strange Chinese accent, the Persian raised his spear in the air: "Ahura Mazda!" ”

"Assault of the whole army!"

"Huh~~!"

"Hey! It turns out that the heavy rider is on this road, brothers, come with me! ”

The front part of the outer part of this Jin army circle formation is spearmen, and the rear part is sword and shield soldiers. Inside, the first half is archers, and the second half is 20,000 cavalry. The 20,000 cavalry was commanded by Hu Lie, even if he knew that the Han cavalry began to charge on the periphery, he never started, and he was willing to dispatch only after determining which direction the opponent's heavy cavalry was.

With Hu Lie's order, the battle has been fought until now, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Jin army, which has been standing still for more than two hours, finally moved.

"Raise the stick! Attack the enemy heavy cavalry! ”

"Huh~~!"

With the orders of the commanders of both sides, the two cavalry collided fiercely.

"Phew!"

"Brush!"

"Ah~!"

"Rhythm ~~"

The sound of the war horse striking, the mournful sound of broken tendons, the sound of the Han army's heavy cavalry slashing through the neck of the Jin knight, and the sound of the head flying high. The blunt sound of the big stick in the hands of the Jin cavalry hitting the plate armor of the Han knights...... In an instant, the east side of the battlefield between the two sides suddenly turned into a bloody hell on earth.

The big stick or mace, under the bonus of the speed of the war horse, hit the knight of the Han army on the chest, abdomen or back through the plate armor. The first blow only makes people feel as if they have been hit by a cow all over their body, but soon, the knight who is hit by the blow feels a decrease in his physical functions: his abdomen is rolling, or his chest is suffocating.

What's more, because of the disadvantage of the Jin army's war horses, more Jin cavalry holding big sticks could not hit the upper body of the Han cavalry, so they directly knocked on the opponent's war horse. And the war horses suffered this blow, and most of them couldn't bear it, so they had to kneel down.

There is no doubt that the cavalry of the two sides faced off, and the Han army still had a great advantage. But compared with the previous easy crushing of the other party, this time, the cavalry of the Jin army gave the Han army's heavy cavalry effective damage.
