Chapter 36: Waiting for the Moment

Xinkou.

The terrain of the mountains and rivers is very dangerous, there are mountains on both sides, and behind the mountains are layers of mountains, it looks like a lot of black shadows, as if a cluster of dark clouds pressed on the vast loess earth, which is shocking!

At this time, the rarely populated and slightly dilapidated Xinkou military town was full of killing sounds all over the sky at this time, and it was very noisy.

The sun is in the west, the weather is early spring, the earth is dry, and there are bursts of dust splashed between the people and horses.

Ma Yi led his troops to find a small high slope nearby to observe the situation.

At this time, the sound of killing in front suddenly became louder, thousands of troops and horses fought each other, and the battlefield was in full view.

Looking ahead, the Rouran army was obviously outnumbered, while the Wei army was at a disadvantage in numbers.

In the north, the Rouran army, the front troops fought with the Wei army, and the rear was lined up with unmoved horsemen. On the other hand, the Wei army in the south had gathered into a line at this time, all the soldiers and horses were fighting with the enemy, and there was no reserve in the rear.

The flags are surging, and the shouts of killing are noisy!

"The main force of the Rouran Army is all here, all the cavalry, our troops are too small, even if they go up, it's just a drop in the bucket!" After Ma Yi saw the battlefield clearly, he said this.

A general scolded: "This surnamed Lin is still rushing forward with all his strength, he really thinks he is the best in the world?!"

At this time, on the battlefield of fierce battles on the plains, you can see that a small part of the soldiers dressed in Wei armor and armor rushed to the deep heart of the Rouran army led by a general, but most of the Wei soldiers were blocked in the front and could not break through the enemy's defense line.

The general's appearance is not far from ten, it is Lin Zhaoyuan!

Ma Yi ordered the army to spread out behind the hillside.

He looked back at the generals and said, "The most important task of our army today is to rescue Lin Zhaoyuan and evacuate here!"

"Lord, this ......" The military general who spoke just now wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ma Yi.

"Lin Zhaoyuan is the first fierce general of my Great Wei, and his reputation is far and wide, if he dies at this time, it will deal a huge blow to the morale of our army, and it will also have an adverse impact on the war! The consequences are immeasurable! Ma Yi said.

The generals listened and bowed.

Ma Yi pointed to the front and said, "I see that the enemy's right flank is weak, and Lin Zhao's far position is close to the direction of the right flank. Zhang Chao, I order you to lead the elite cavalry to take this as a breakthrough point and rush to its right flank. Lin Zhaoyuan is a veteran general on the battlefield, and after seeing the situation on this side, he will inevitably understand. Lead the troops to the east, and attack you on both sides. In this way, the siege of Lin Zhaoyuan can be solved. ”

"The last general obeys!" The general, named Zhang Chao, responded with his fists clenched. This Zhang Chao is the general who scolded Lin Zhaoyuan for "rushing forward" before.

After a short time, there was a group of light cavalry of one or two hundred horsemen in the army, with strict armor and weapons, and the soldiers were full of courage, and it seemed that they had participated in a lot of battles.

They at least jogged forward when they sorted, divided into several units, and aimed at the right flank of the enemy.

Chen Xu faintly felt that this matter was by no means easy, and Lin Zhaoyuan was afraid that he would not be so obedient. It's just that I just have an intuition, I'm afraid I can't convince others, and I haven't been in contact with Lin Zhaoyuan, this kid will never joke with his life when he is alive and dead.

But at this time, the movement of the reinforcements here has been observed by the Rouran army, and among the unmobilized men and horses in the rear of the Rouran army, an army was divided and galloped towards Zhang Chao's department.

Zhang Chao was intercepted by the enemy in front of his right flank, and after the two sides first drew their bows and threw them, they met each other, and the two sides raised their weapons and began to fight.

When the horsemen of the two armies fought fiercely, a group of horsemen in the rear of Zhang Chao's department did not rush forward with a wave of horsemen in front, but maneuvered in a roundabout, bypassing the battle group and rushing forward to the enemy's right flank.

Zhang Chao's two forces of men and horses attacked on both sides, rushed the enemy, and rushed into the enemy's right flank, and in the Rouran formation, Lin Zhao's cavalry in the distance, after hearing the movement, turned the direction and drove forward to the east, directly attacking the enemy's right flank junction. Caught inside and outside, the right flank of the Rouran Army was suddenly penetrated from the middle, and Lin Zhaoyuan received reinforcements to support him and fought his way out of the encirclement.

However, the Wei cavalry soldiers who converged on the flanks did not retreat, but turned to the loose position of the Rouran army and continued to charge.

The undispatched men and horses in the rear of the Rouran army in the north came to reinforce the right flank of the army formation, and the right flank that had just been penetrated surrounded it.

Zhang Chao led the remaining men and horses to rush out to the south, and the soldiers and horses reinforced by the Rouran Army followed Zhang Chao's troops like a tide, wanting to bite this Wei army and encircle and annihilate them.

Zhang Chao led the elite cavalry to gallop, and the rear troops were shot by the pursuing Rouran army from time to time, and people kept falling.

Lin Zhaoyuan didn't come out, from the small high slope, it could be seen that among the surging people and horses at this time, there was a place where dust and mist were flying.

And Zhang Chao was fortunately a cavalryman, and he fled while fighting, so he had a difficult escape.

After a while, he jumped off the horse and scolded: "This Lin Zhaoyuan really doesn't just know what to do, he wants to die by himself, but it's a pity that so many people have been sacrificed!"

Ma Yi frowned and said, "What's the matter, did you see Lin Zhaoyuan, didn't you tell him?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chao said: "How dare I disobey the lord's order!" I have already persuaded him to break through the siege quickly, but I didn't expect this guy to say, let's take a good look at him on the side, how to break the Rouran army! ”

The generals looked at each other and were speechless.

If you look for death yourself, you can't blame others!

Ma Yi helped him with his hand and sighed: "It's not wise!"

A general said: "Lin Zhaoyuan blindly fights to the death, and wants to force the Rouran army back, but he is reluctant to raise these elite horses, so he blindly fights to the death." It has nothing to do with the lord. But now that Lin Zhaoyuan has not been saved, what are you going to do now? ”

"Lin Zhaoyuan must be rescued." Ma Yi pressed the saber on his waist and said.

He's ready for another rescue.

"General, slow." Chen Xu suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned their heads to Chen Xu behind them, looking at him, Ma Yi said at this time: "Chen Lang, what do you want to say?"

"The Admiral thinks the General should wait." Chen Xu's voice was very calm, and he said, "Now that General Lin is on the rise, there is still some strength left, and at this time to rescue, he will definitely be as determined to retreat and defeat the Rouran Army as he did just now." And our army is far inferior to the enemy's army, and when the manpower is poor, our army will be led into the swamp whirlpool at that time, and life and death will be consumed here. ”

"I don't know how to do this, there is really no good way." Ma Yi smiled bitterly, "You can't just watch from the wall and watch him die here." ”

Lin Zhaoyuan has always been unruly, and only the emperor and a few other generals in the army can control him.

"Our army should wait for General Lin's combat strength to drop sharply." Chen Xu continued, and pointed to the battlefield not far away, "General, please see, in the Rouran Formation, the dust and mist splashed by the cavalry fighting of Lin Zhao's distant division did not show signs of stagnation, which shows that the combat effectiveness of Lin Zhao's distant division has not declined. And when the speed of this dust mist slows down or even stagnates, that is, when their combat effectiveness drops sharply, they will inevitably be unable to rush and kill, and they will be tired. At this time, it was time for our army to come to the rescue. ”

"At that time, the last general is willing to rush into battle for the vanguard!" Chen Xu said.

Ma Yi patted his forehead with his hand and said with a smile: "The general has forgotten that Chen Lang is the enemy of the three armies of Yongguan!"

"It's just that if the rescue is not in time, and Lin Zhaoyuan dies in battle, won't the gains outweigh the losses!" Ma Yi said, with a fierce general like Chen Xu here, he was not worried that he would not be able to rush into the enemy formation, but he was worried that he would not be able to rescue him.

Chen Xu said: "No, you can't save Lin Zhaoyuan!"
