Chapter 358: Two Thousand Foot Soldiers Break Through 30,000 Wei Army
"I'll just say that Ma Jian is cunning, it is certainly impossible to be so careless! There is really something wrong with this military formation of the Shu army. Wang Sheng saw that the Wei army could not attack, and the army was helpless in the face of the two thousand Han army, and his face was suddenly a little nervous.
It's not embarrassing, in the face of Ma Tan, he can be undefeated in Cao Wei, and he is a famous general. He, an unknown man, led 30,000 Wei troops to besiege for half an hour, and it was great that he hadn't been pushed back by Ma Tan.
That's the, back to the point.
Wang Sheng is a native of Yingchuan and a child of a family, but his family background is not so good, and he worked hard to become a general for Wang Chang. However, he still understands the art of war, and his vision is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
So when the Wei army couldn't attack Ma Tan's Qiyue array for a long time, Wang Sheng had already seen the way.
This kind of strategy of chariots to resist the enemy has actually existed for a long time, and it is said that when Taizu crusaded against Ma Chao, Guanzhong Haoqiang used this method to resist.
However, most of their defenses were based on chariots as phalanxes to prevent cavalry charges. It was the first time that such a chain of iron ropes as Ma Tan had formed a circle formation to resist the infantry.
Most of the Wei army's foot soldiers were infantry armed with swords and shields, and the limited length of their weapons and the restrictions of their shields made them almost a live target after encountering the Moon Formation.
The spearmen of the Han army basically stabbed at the gap in the Yueyue array, and this alone could deal a huge blow to the Wei army.
Even if some soldiers were lucky enough to climb into the chariot and climb over and attack the interior of the Moon Formation, they would not be able to hold out for long in the face of the Han army that had been waiting for a long time.
In this regard, Wang Sheng considered whether it was time to continue to attack the city and wear down the physical strength of the Han army little by little. As a result, the subordinate then ran back and reported to him that the Han army had also begun to rotate.
The tired Han army retreated to the battle to eat and rest, and the reserve team then went up to take over the battle. The formation was almost perfect, and there was no chance to take advantage of it.
If it continues like this, the military array arranged by Ma Jian will become a trap to harvest the lives of the Wei army's soldiers. Even if tens of thousands of people die here, they may not be able to defeat this moon array.
"We have to deal with it, or something will happen!" Wang Sheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the battle line that was fighting desperately and began to think.
In any case, even if you can't drive the Shu army away, you have to make some gains. If you keep being smashed by the other party's front teeth like this, it is not a military achievement.
After a while, Wang Sheng responded, asked the sword and shield hand to retreat, and replaced it with a pikeman to stab each other with the Shu army.
You're a pikeman, and I'm also a pikeman, so see who of us has stabbed whom!
Under the command of Wang Sheng, the Wei army began to change. The shield-armed foot soldiers stepped back, and the pikemen took turns to step up.
Wang Sheng's idea was to make some trouble for the Shu army, so that his side would gain a little and look good. However, when the Wei army replaced a large number of pikemen without shields, all the Han soldiers in the moon formation became excited.
"The Marquis of the Army, the Wei people have taken the bait!"
"Excellent! Quick, according to the general's arrangement, get on the short spear! ”
Before the Wei pikemen arrived, the Han soldiers had already taken out a large number of short spears. At the same time, heavy crossbows hidden inside the Hussite chariot were revealed.
These vehicles are specially made and equipped with extremely powerful heavy crossbows. If you want to shoot these heavy ballestas, you even need a wrestler to hammer the launcher!
"Shoot the arrows!"
Countless short spears flew out like arrows under the arrangement of the Han army. At such a close distance, the crowded Wei army had nowhere to dodge at all, and was directly protruded in the face.
At this time, the Wei army was full of pikemen without shields in front of them, and there was nowhere to dodge in front and behind. A short spear with a strong enough impact flew out, and could even penetrate three or four people at a time.
The Wei army did not expect that the Han army had already had the means to wait for them, and a large number of Wei soldiers wanted to be directly stabbed to death in the crowd. The soldiers who were lucky enough not to die in the back no longer dared to move forward, and began to desperately dodge backwards.
From then on, the Wei army's formation was in chaos, and the soldiers began to trample on each other, and the impact on the Han army became an internal stress that destroyed their internal formation.
The most intuitive withdrawal for this is that Ma Tan's frontal pressure has plummeted, and the Wei army that has attacked the army formation began to panic, and then refused to move forward.
"The enemy formation is out of order! It's time to fight back! Seeing this, Ma Jian just shook his head slightly, and then wiped the blood from his face and shouted.
At this moment, the Wei army's heart was in turmoil, and the soldiers had no courage to charge forward and fight. At this time, the Wei army's military formation was a broken house, and they only needed to kick it, and they were completely chaotic, and no one dared to resist when they trampled on each other.
Obviously, the quality of the Wei army that came to drive Ma Jian was not satisfactory to Ma Tan.
And for the last kick, Ma Jian naturally had to kick it himself.
"What's the situation? Why is the military formation suddenly chaotic! At this moment, Wang Sheng didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and in his sight, Wei Pawn, who was trying his best to suppress the Han army, suddenly became chaotic. For some reason, a large number of soldiers began to trample on each other and crowded, not daring to move forward.
In this case, it is generally necessary for the coach to come to the front line in person and adjust the deployment in time to save the defeat. But with the experience of the past, Wang Sheng said that he would not dare to go to the front army, and only commanded remotely in the Chinese army.
As a result, the battle that had a chance to be saved completely collapsed.
When the Wei army was in chaos, the Han army's military formation suddenly scattered left and right, and all the soldiers except Ma Jian dodged to the side. Then, just after reporting a meal, five hundred light cavalry who had been holding back for half an hour appeared in the sight of the Wei army.
"Inexhaustible, more fighting! In order to help the Han family, you will charge with me! He whistled, and then his horse rushed out from the side. Ma Tan smoothly turned over and got on the horse, roared loudly and rushed out first.
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
The morale of the 500 Han cavalry who had been waiting for a long time was high, and they quickly followed and rushed out with Ma Tan.
At this moment, the Wei army has been fighting for so long, the army's heart is shaken, the lineup is chaotic, and it is no longer able to attack. When Ma Tan suddenly launched a counter-charge, it was as if the first domino had been toppled, and a chain reaction was quickly triggered.
"Ma Tan is out!!"
"We've been tricked! The Han army is coming! ”
"It's all over, we're doomed!"
"What the hell! Who shouted just now that our army was defeated! Wang Sheng, who heard the rumors, was furious, when was the Wei army so pessimistic, and the front army was shouting everywhere that our army was defeated?
"Run away, General! Ma Tan is here! At this time, several guards came in a panic and immediately wanted to pull Wang Sheng to escape.
"Who killed it?" Wang Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at the front army.
I saw a white-robed general rushing all the way, and the army was unstoppable, and it was close in an instant!
"Holy! Ask the envoy for help! ”
"The envoy has retreated towards Dingling with his troops! Shogun, let's go! ”
"!"
