76, Chang Ge Rulin oblique array line (5)
Duan Xuan's army, which suddenly launched a counterattack, killed the Qianghu soldiers who had no follow-up, and retreated step by step.
But Han Chang, who had just taken over the command of the left flank, had no time to dispatch the Qianghu men and horses to stabilize their positions, and they killed an enemy army with a roundabout flank attack in the oblique stab.
The Hedong Army relied on the terrain to line up, and Han Sui's army was not easy to detour around on the right flank, but as the front progressed, the Qianghu tribe on the left flank had the opportunity to flank the position that the Hedong Army was trying to maintain.
It's just that after the Qianghu tribe made several detours, they were repelled and blocked by the crossbow of the chariot arranged by Duan Xuan, and they no longer organized a roundabout army and horse with an effective threat, but each wanted the men and horses of other tribes to grind Duan Xuan's military formation.
After Han Chang took over the command, the cavalry, who originally wanted to command Qianghu, once again launched a roundabout tactic, involving the scattered forces of Duan Xuan.
But he didn't expect that Duan Xuanjun would even divide his forces to counterattack in a roundabout way.
What he didn't expect was that the Qianghu tribe that had suffered from the impact was so vulnerable, and within a few moments of resistance, they were defeated and retreated before all the tribal reinforcements behind them could catch up.
The entire left flank was like a torn rag, the waves cracked in an instant, and the roundabout Hedong cavalry easily rushed out of a road, and the defeated men and horses carried the men and horses behind them to retreat, and wherever the Hedong cavalry went, the wind was invincible, straight through the left flank army formation.
Han Chang was dumbfounded, and his originally heroic words could no longer be spoken.
The Hedong ironclad cavalry led by him, with the overwhelming might, rushed towards Han Suiwan where he was, looking at these people wearing armor and horses and armor, Han Chang was stunned for a moment, and soon woke up again, and shouted angrily:
"Quick, quick, spearmen come forward in formation, stop them for me!"
It's just that at this time, except for the personal soldiers he brought, no one else obeyed his command.
The Qianghu tribe has long been because of ominous signs such as "flying snow in October", "seeing blood on the white stone", "sheep god crying at night", etc., and has drawn an oracle from the mouth of Wu Bu that "this year is not conducive to the East".
However, although many Qianghu soldiers would worry about their relatives and livestock left in the cool land, and worry about what bad things would happen on the battlefield, they still stepped on the battlefield after all.
Now that the military formation on the left flank has been broken, the vast majority of people can't help but think of those ominous signs, and the dragons have no leader, and the army's morale is suddenly in chaos, and no one wants to die in vain, so they are desperate to throw away their armor and turn around and flee.
The men and horses behind the left flank army only need to run faster than the men and horses in front, and the men and horses in front only need to run faster than the men and horses around them to avoid being killed, so in the blink of an eye, the Qianghu men and horses on the left flank have become a chaotic army that retreats to the rear.
Originally, those Qianghu adults who were surrounded also took advantage of the chaos to get out of control, drew their swords and faced each other, risking their lives to cut down several of Han Chang's personal soldiers, and took advantage of the situation to rush into the chaotic army.
In a panic, Han Chang slashed down several retreating Qianghu soldiers with a knife, but he still couldn't stop the crazy fleeing people.
Seeing this, Han Chang, who was originally ambitious, was sad at the moment, he knew that the unusable Qianghu people and horses on the left wing had gone, and it was irretrievable with his own strength, seeing the approaching Hedong cavalry, where could Han Chang still have the heart to resist, he shouted at his only remaining personal soldiers, turned his horse's head, spurred his horse, and fled towards his own Chinese army.
The Chinese army and the men and horses on the right flank still have an advantage, if Han Sui can divide the soldiers in time to block this roundabout Hedong soldiers and horses, and give himself time to collect the remnants of the left flank, then the army will slowly shrink its strength, and there will still be a chance to retreat safely and choose the opportunity to fight again.
At this time, Han Chang could only hope that his father could stop the vicious spread of the rout and try his best to save the overall situation.
Han Sui Zhongjun.
The sudden avalanche-like rout of the left-wing men and horses had already aroused Han Sui's idea, but before he could wait for himself to transfer a part of the troops that had been fully pressed to the left flank to support, most of the entire left-wing men and horses had already been defeated, and the remaining part was also scattered after being killed by a round of Hedong cavalry, turned around, and desperately fled to the rear.
Cheng Gongying, who was originally ordered to supervise the battle on the left flank, urgently turned back.
"Lord, the Hedong Army mobilized troops and horses to cooperate with the right wing to counterattack, the Qianghu tribe on the left wing has been dispersed, Ying asked for orders, led 3,000 soldiers and horses, rushed to the left flank to resist the enemy, and collected the rout!"
Because of the limitations of the terrain, Han Sui's army could not discover the dynamics of this strange army in Hedong at the first time, but the current situation is like this, the left wing has been scattered and defeated by the enemy, Cheng Gongying does not need to think too much, he can guess that only his own soldiers can no longer force the fleeing Qiang Huyi to return to fight, and the Hedong strange army that attacked from the side will soon outflank the rear of his own Chinese army.
At this time, there must be a force of soldiers and horses to stifle the momentum of the Hedong Surprise Army.
Therefore, although the situation on the battlefield of the left wing was extremely dangerous, Cheng Gongying still took the initiative to ask for help and led the army to the left wing to try his best to save the defeat.
And these 3,000 soldiers and horses are already all the reserve troops that Han Sui can draw out temporarily, and originally Han Sui wanted to use them as a surprise soldier to break through Yan Xingzhong's army, but now they can only become a reserve force for firefighting.
When victory was already expected, he suddenly suffered this kind of instantaneous reversal of the battle situation of the whole army, and the whole face of this frightened and anxious old man collapsed in an instant, but Han Sui was also a strong chief who had been in the cold for a long time after all, and after he forcibly endured the symptoms of the blood surging in his throat, he stabilized his mind and said to Cheng Gongying:
"Okay, you must use these 3,000 soldiers and horses to hold back the men and horses in Hedong. Give me time to gather the rout and shrink the troops, the enemy's central army and left flank are still at a disadvantage, and they cannot form a flanking attack in a short time, as long as we shrink our forces, even if we can't recover the decline and retreat, the enemy still can't help us! ”
As if to encourage Cheng Gongying, who looked at death as home, and as if to motivate himself, Han Sui's voice became louder and louder, and the soldiers who were guarding him subconsciously took a few steps back, but Han Sui didn't realize it at all, only Cheng Gongying was keenly aware that the lord, who had always rarely lost his temper, was already mixed with a slight tremor in his voice at this moment.
"No!"
Cheng Gongying was greatly favored by Han Sui, and he already had the intention of killing and retributing him, so although he knew that there was a lot of luck in this trip, he still had no hesitation, he ordered the knights around him to raise the banner of the Chinese army, loudly inspired the cavalry under his command, and turned to rush towards the left-wing men and horses who had all collapsed.
"Order the whole army, fight and retreat, shrink the troops, and move closer to the Chinese army!"
After Cheng Gongying rushed to the left flank with 3,000 men and horses, Han Sui's Chinese army instantly became very few.
However, because the Chinese army and the right wing had previously compressed the front of the soldiers and horses in Hedong, although the strange soldiers in Hedong had successfully opened the situation on the left flank of Han Sui's army, and then the horns and war drums of the Hedong army were also marching, but no soldiers and horses had been able to successfully rush and break through to Han Sui.
"There is still a clear superiority in strength between the Chinese army and the right flank, and I can't lose this battle."
Han Sui shouted loudly in his heart this time, he tried very hard to calm his old face, the old face full of wrinkles and ravines made it easier for him to hide his thoughts and expressions at any time.
But at the moment in his heart, he already hated Han Chang who was ineffective in handling things, and Lord Qianghu, who was invincible, of course, the most hated and feared, was Yan Xing in the military formation opposite, this young man in his early thirties, actually won himself in this battle!
The right flank of Han Sui's army.
When he heard the shrill sound of gold in the rear, Yan Gui subconsciously turned his head, and soon he saw the flag of his own army raised high and waved rapidly, although this time there was no galloping commander to announce the military order loudly, but everyone understood that this was a signal for the right flank to shrink their forces and immediately move closer to Han Sui's Chinese army.
As long as they advance for a while and successfully stabilize their position, they can cut off the connection between the left wing of the Hedong Army and the Chinese army, because of the limited terrain, the left wing of the Hedong Army can no longer continue to retreat.
At that time, it will be the moment when the left wing of the Hedong Army will not be able to support it and will completely collapse.
But seeing that the battle situation was about to develop towards this trend, the Chinese army suddenly gave up the fierce offensive it had been maintaining, and instead shrank its forces and moved closer to the Chinese army, Yan Gui vaguely guessed in his heart that this must be a reversal of the battle situation!
In the midst of thousands of troops, surrounded by the sounds of all kinds of people running and fighting, Yan Gui could not quickly learn about the situation of the left-wing people like Han Sui, Cheng Gongying and others who commanded the whole army, but he still had an intuition, rode to his father's side, and whispered to Yan Feng:
"My lord, the Chinese army hastily withdrew its troops and shrunk its troops, I'm afraid that something has happened to the left flank of this army or the Chinese army!"
Speaking of this, Yan Gui stared at his father, who was still eating a lot of smoke and dust, and was a little unkempt, and said with a flickering gaze:
"Since the Han family is likely to be unable to turn over, then the time has come for our Yan family to turn over!"
Although Yan Feng didn't let Yan Gui come into contact with any news about the gift box and Yan Xing these days, the more Yan Gui thought about it, the more energetic he became, and he thought that maybe this Huaili battle was an opportunity for their Yan family to turn over and dominate Liangzhou.
If they can fight back at this time and take refuge in Yan Xing, who seems to have reversed the tide of the battle and is also part of the Yan family, then their father and son, and the declining Yan family will be like climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and they will climb to the sky in one step and rise to the top.
Although he didn't know what kind of plan was inside, Yan Gui still subconsciously thought that Yan Xing must be hinting to them that he was able to tolerate the festivals of the previous clan fights and other Yan family members.
As long as they show enough courage in critical times.
However, what Yan Gui, who was full of excitement, saw his father's dark and dim eyes.
Could it be that inside the box, it is not a plan to fight back at a critical moment, is it true that what I have secretly guessed these days is wrong?
