An Renyi's calculations played very well, he issued an order to Zhang Hao in the name of the commander, telling him that in order to quickly withdraw to Runzhou, he must defeat the pursuers behind, and subdued Zhang Hao in the name of the overall situation, forcing him to obey his orders and block the first wave of enemy attacks at the front.

However, he forgot that Zhang Hao was not a fledgling rookie, let alone a person who focused on the overall situation, although he agreed to An Renyi's plan in an inferior situation, but turned around and sold him.

Before the start of the battle, Zhang Hao secretly ordered his subordinates to retreat as soon as they fought with the enemy, although this practice was very unkind, and it was very likely that the enemy would take the opportunity to chase and kill them if they fled before the battle, resulting in heavy casualties; But he thought carefully that if he and the enemy cavalry were to the death, because he was not well prepared, he would definitely not be able to defeat the other party, and in the end he would still have to flee and the losses might be greater; And if he had fled at the beginning and moved out of the way, the opposing cavalry would definitely not let go when they saw the opportunity to attack the old and weak middle battalion that was unprepared behind.

In this way, it is equivalent to An Renyi helping him share some of the pressure, and his loss is naturally much smaller. As for whether the army will be defeated because of this, it is not up to him, after all, if An Renyi's arrangement is followed, all his troops may be buried here, and in this case, where else can he manage.

Seeing that Zhang Hao gave way to the road, Hou Zan didn't think much about it and divided his troops into two routes, and continued to chase and kill Zhang Hao's defeated soldiers with 300 horsemen all the way, so as not to give him the opportunity to regroup; On the other hand, the six hundred cavalry was personally led by him, and directly killed An Renyi's troops who were not ready in front.

Confusion!

At this time, the battlefield was completely in chaos with Zhang Hao's escape. An Renyi's old and weak soldiers were already inferior in combat effectiveness, and they were not ready to deal with the cavalry onslaught, so many of them were frightened by the oncoming cavalry before they could find their position at this time, turning around and fleeing, which made the already somewhat chaotic formation even more chaotic.

"That's it, kill them and crush them!" Hou Zhan shouted loudly.

The battle has undoubtedly gone smoothly so far, in the camp An Renyi originally divided the army into three large formations, the front was Zhang Hao's subordinates, and in the middle was An Renyi's troops composed of old and weak soldiers, and only the back was the real elite, with about 3,000 people.

Behind the hill on the left side of the camp was an ambush set by An Renyi, who had come out from behind the hill at the beginning of the battle, preparing to attack Hou Zhan's flank.

However, according to their speed, by the time they arrived, Li Yu's infantry should have been able to rush to stop them.

Now the situation is very clear, An Renyi's thousand-man team in charge of vigilance was pinned down by a battalion of men and horses led by Li Yu's general Fei Ziming, and An Renyi's ambush soldiers would also be blocked by the 1,500 infantry led by Li Yu himself before rushing to the battlefield.

The key now is whether Hou Zan can completely defeat An Renyi's old and weak and Zhang Hao's subordinates before An Renyi's rear formation of 3,000 infantry is ready.

If it can be done, then when An Renyi's rear formation is ready, Chen You's 3,000 infantry will almost arrive, plus Hou Zhan's cavalry will be enough to defeat the opponent; If the other party is fully prepared and has not completely defeated An Renyi's old and weak and Zhang Hao's subordinates, then An Renyi's old and weak and Zhang Hao's subordinates may regroup and fight again under the response of An Renyi's rear formation.

However, on the whole, it is certain that Yang Wu's side currently has the advantage.

At this time, in An Renyi's camp, the generals were still noisy, shouting for Zhang Hao to give an explanation, otherwise they would never give up, and some people even began to propose how to deal with Zhang Hao after the war.

"Enough, what does the noise look like in the barracks here?" An Renyi scolded loudly, he knew that he was commanded by Zhang Hao, and he couldn't point to Zhang Hao, after all, Zhang Hao could be said to be defeated without preparation, not that he deliberately ran away, and An Renyi was not kind enough to do this matter, so it was naturally not good to accuse Zhang Hao.

Of course, although he was put on the side, An Renyi was not too worried, after all, he still had three thousand elites in the rear intact, as long as these people were ready, it would be no problem to deal with the other party's one thousand cavalry.

"Peng You, you immediately go to the middle battalion to supervise the battle, the battalion commands the officers, if there are officers who disobey the order, you can kill them directly, be sure to let them hold on until the general's rear formation is ready, if you can do it, you will be promoted when you turn back; If something goes wrong, you will be the only one who asks. Do you understand? An Renyi looked at one of the generals sitting below him.

"The last general understands, please rest assured, even if you lose your life, the last general will hold on until the envoy arrives!" Peng You said firmly, turned around and went to prepare.

This person is a veteran general who has followed An Renyi for many years, and he is not afraid of death when he fights, and this person is especially disgusted with deserters, as long as he sees anyone who escapes, he will directly behead him, and over time, he has won the name of Peng beheading in the army.

At this time, he got An Renyi's military order, and hurried to the scene with more than a dozen cronies and guards around him, and when he saw that the old and weak soldiers in the middle camp were retreating, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered his cronies to cut down the deserters.

"Go back, whoever dares to be a deserter will not be forgiven! will resist, do not escape! Whoever runs away again will be the end of these people! ”

After slashing and killing several fleeing captains in a row, the momentum of escape was paused, and those trembling soldiers couldn't help but shudder when they looked at the bloody big knife in the hands of Peng You's cronies.

"It's over, it's actually Peng who cut off his head here to supervise the battle, it seems that he can't escape!"

"Damn, Peng's beheading is here, running away is death, and reflexively fighting is also death, it's better to go back and fight with the enemy!"

……

The fleeing soldiers couldn't help but tremble when they saw Peng You supervising the battle here, and they had to go back and continue the battle under the coercion of the machete, which changed the situation in the middle camp.

Then, Peng You's cronies beat drums to boost morale, and personally led people to launch a counterattack against Hou Zhan's cavalry. With the sound of battle drums, those defeated soldiers gradually stabilized, and began to counterattack under the leadership of Peng You, although they did not form a formation, but also caused some losses to Hou Zhan's cavalry in the melee, at least the situation was no longer the one-sided situation just now.

Because at this time, Hou Zhan's cavalry had long lost its impact power, and it would be nothing if the enemy's courage had been lost, but now that the enemy army began to counterattack Hou Zhan, he quickly felt the difference, and couldn't help frowning.

"General, the enemy army is regrouping, should we withdraw first and then re-charge?" The lieutenant next to him asked.

First break away and then re-launch the charge, this is a cavalry tactic, the day before yesterday under the city of Changzhou, it was this tactic that was used to defeat 2,000 infantry in a good formation in one fell swoop.
