Chapter 61 The war resumes, and Zhang Xiu is the vanguard Fourth
When the kingdom saw the Han army charging, it was naturally not to be outdone, and with a wave of the flag, the Xiliang army under his command rushed out directly, and Ma Teng's department saw it, and saw that Ma Teng was in front of the formation, and would be surrounded by Han generals at any time, so he naturally rushed out together, Han Sui saw it, smiled helplessly, and also made the army rush out, so that the original fighting generals became a big melee.
Zhang Xiu and Ma Teng were originally fighting in the field, how did they know that after being commanded by the kingdom from behind, the original dignified fighting generals turned into a big melee between the two armies, the Xiliang rebels had many soldiers on one side, and the Han army was brave on the other side, but the two sides had their own strengths and weaknesses.
I saw that on the side of the Xiliang rebels, Ma Teng and Han Sui were both cavalry, and they had been in battle formations for a long time, and they charged only after they lined up in formation, but Han Sui's department was commanded by Han Sui, and the shadow of a large army could be seen, and Ma Teng's department was not in command, although the formation was still seen at the beginning, but the formation was scattered after a charge, and later it became a chaotic army. The kingdom was originally just a thief who held high the Yellow Turban banner and made trouble, and he didn't believe in the Taiping Dao, let alone Zhang Jiao, and he completely belonged to the people who pulled the banner to make trouble. His subordinates are naturally mixed with infantry and horses, and their combat strength is uneven, but now a melee is convenient for them to perform.
Looking at the side of the Han army, compared with the chaos of the Xiliang army, it is like an iron army, although the men and horses are only one-third of the Xiliang rebels, but the army formation is neat, the advance and retreat are well-founded, and the combat power is obviously stronger than the Xiliang rebels.
In addition to the elite soldiers, the Han army is also brave. I saw Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Hu Zhen, the four generals who were the first to rush out, each with 3,000 cavalry, using themselves as arrows to rush left and right in the Xiliang chaotic army, strangling the originally chaotic Xiliang army into even more chaos.
And Sun Jian and Hu Che'er each took 5,000 cavalry to the left and right flanks of the Xiliang rebels at some point, and then fought from there, Sun Jian and Hu Che'er's courage was better than the four generals who rushed to kill in the enemy formation, with the two of them as arrows, it was simply unstoppable, and the troops led by the two were like pincers to strangle the Chinese army of the Xiliang rebels into a mess, but this tactic was just like the battle of Meiyang that day Zhang Xiu and Huaxiong two teams of men and horses staggered and strangled in general, and the power of this time was not weakened.
As for Zhang Xiu, he pestered Ma Teng to the death and did not let him leave. Among the rebels in Xiliang, there was probably only one Ma Teng in the battlefield who would make the Han army have scruples, so this time Zhang Xiu did not lead the army to rush and kill, but only pestered Ma Teng. And Ma Teng wanted to get out of trouble with the help of his own soldiers and horses several times, but Ma Teng had a helper, how could Zhang Xiu be without, the elite soldiers of the Han army had already come forward to help Zhang Xiu, and the two led a small group of soldiers and horses to fight in the chaos.
The remaining one who commanded Zhang Xiu's 25,000 infantry and Sun Jian's 3,000 infantry was Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji's army can be said to be the longest among the generals of the Han army. Although the headquarters of the Han army under his command were all foot soldiers, due to the good personal relationship between Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian, the two armies often practiced together, so Zhang Ji had no problem commanding alone. Zhang Xiu also had a drill for using infantry against cavalry, and saw that the weapons held by the Han army's infantry were some spears that were three feet longer than ordinary standard spears, which were easy to form a fatal blow to the Xiliang cavalry that rushed to kill. However, this special spear also has a disadvantage, that is, it is heavier than ordinary spears, so the Han army's foot soldiers are not conducive to long-term battles.
Now, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see that in front of the attack of the Xiliang rebels, the Han army infantry under the command of Zhang Ji resisted the advance of the Xiliang rebels to the death, and did not let the Xiliang rebels penetrate the formation of the Han army's foot soldiers.
Within the Xiliang rebel army, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Hu Zhen led 3,000 cavalry to gallop and kill; Sun Jian and Hu Che'er entered from the left and right flanks respectively, penetrated the formation of the Xiliang army, and then turned around and killed again, and the six teams of cavalry had completely strangled the Chinese army of the Xiliang rebels to paralyze, so that the front and rear armies of the Xiliang rebels were also greatly affected.
Han Sui, who was commanding the rear army, looked at the kingdom that was still charging with his subordinates, frowned and shook his head. Han Sui kept looking ahead, trying to find Ma Teng's figure, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. The battle has been going on for an hour, and the decline of the Xiliang rebels is becoming more and more obvious, if it is not still numerical advantage, I am afraid that it has been defeated.
Han Sui looked for Ma Teng's figure again, but he couldn't see him, so he had to say to the herald next to him in a deep voice: "Mingjin collects his troops." ”
"Dang, dang, dang" Mingjin's voice came from the rear of the Xiliang rebels, and the kingdom looked at Han Sui with some astonishment, and after thinking for a while, he also ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The front army and the Chinese army of the Xiliang rebels have long had no fighting spirit, and now the sound of gold sounded, and immediately ran to the back, Zhang Ji immediately ordered to pursue, but Zhang Ji's troops were all foot soldiers, and most of the Xiliang army had horses, so the Han army foot soldiers could only step forward to kill some of the kingdom's foot soldiers.
It's just that Sun Jian and the other six generals are not, when they heard the Xiliang rebels singing gold, the six generals immediately turned around and killed the Xiliang rebels in unison.
Although Sun Jian and the others were not slow to react, but Han Sui was not a fuel-efficient lamp, just when Sun Jian and a few people led the army into the rear of the Xiliang rebels, several people saw a group of large shield soldiers blocking the front, and nearly 10,000 archers were shooting continuously. In the face of the sudden rain of arrows, Sun Jian's generals relied on their martial arts to block a round of arrow rain with the weapons in their hands, but the Han soldiers behind them did not have such strong martial arts, and under the attack of the arrow rain, there were many Han soldiers who fell off their horses with several arrows in their bodies.
When Sun Jian saw it, he immediately shouted: "Stop the pursuit and retreat." ”
Han Sui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Han army retreating, and did not let people pursue the retreating Han army, but only ordered to retreat ten miles before setting up camp.
Let's go back to Ma Teng, when Han Sui ordered Ming Jin, many Xiliang rebels behind him ran away, and they didn't care about him, but fortunately, some Xiliang rebels next to Ma Teng knew that Ma Teng was strong in martial arts, and it was much safer to follow him than to run away in the chaos of the army, so they all followed Ma Teng.
Zhang Xiu heard Han Sui's Mingjin, but laughed at Ma Teng: "Ma Shoucheng, Han Sui and the kingdom have already Mingjin, and you still won't retreat?" ”
Ma Teng heard it and snorted coldly.
I saw Zhang Xiu holding a tiger-headed golden gun and riding a horse straight at Ma Teng, Ma Teng raised his knife and then, when the two horses were entangled, Zhang Xiu said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Ma Teng, today we are enemies, but I have a hunch that one day we will be friends, you go." ”
Ma Teng glanced at Zhang Xiu with some surprise, and then replied in a low voice: "Thank you." ”
After the two finished communicating, they saw Ma Teng showing a flaw, Zhang Xiu stabbed it with a shot, but was dodged by Ma Teng, and then Ma Teng turned the horse's head and shouted to Zhang Xiu: "Zhang Xiu, you will definitely be captured in the future." ”
Zhang Xiu laughed and replied: "A certain Han army camp is waiting for the descendants of General Fubo. ”
