Chapter 175 Su’s great defeat
Compared to Ma Su's side who was full of fighting spirit, Guanqiu Jian's side was jubilant.
Although the losses were huge, nearly a thousand people were lost in the battle, including those who fled and were beheaded, as well as those who were trampled upon themselves. However, the Wei army successfully blocked the Shu army here, allowing Ma Di to flee in embarrassment with heavy losses.
This was something that Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, could not do. Several famous generals in the northwest were killed by him. However, Guan Qiujian only made his debut a few months ago, and he was able to plot against Ma Su after more than a month of preparation, which is not to say he is not weak.
Of course, there are also factors in this that Guanqiu Jian was lucky and was unable to win with force.
Ma Di has been going smoothly. During this period of time, he almost lost his mind in the guerrilla warfare and didn't pay too much attention to it. Then Guanqiu Jian's 30,000-strong army attacked him with hundreds of cavalry, without any restraining force at his side.
At first, Guo Huai was able to besiege Ma Su for most of the day, but he was unable to do anything to Ma Su because the main force was attacking the 20,000 Shu troops in front. As for Guanqiu Jian's 30,000 main force, all of them were surrounding him. If things didn't go well, it would be God's fault.
However, Guanqiu Jian didn't think much about it and just thought that his strategy was appropriate. When he saw Ma Su running away in confusion, Guanqiu Jian took a long breath and relaxed in his heart.
"Hahahaha... this Ma Su is nothing more than that. He boasted so evilly, but in the end he was defeated by our general Guanqiu Jian!" Guanqiu Jian's lieutenants were very happy, and they all praised Guanqiu Jian happily.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye and has promoted General Guanqiu, a natural talent, in no time. Given time, General Guanqiu will definitely become the backbone of the Wei Dynasty!" Several other generals also said with a smile.
"This Ma Su can only run away with his tail between his legs in front of me, General Guanqiu!"
The group of people boasted happily, thinking that losing a thousand men and killing more than a hundred cavalry was a great victory. Of course, this is also true in fact. The court recognizes this achievement as a great victory.
Our Ma Su's soldiers are worth hundreds of soldiers each sitting on the ground.
"Stop arguing! The war is still going on!" Guanqiu Jian shook his head gently and waved his hand to silence all the generals. Ma Su hasn't left yet, but he's already starting to think about rewards based on merit.
Although I know it's not unlikely, what if Ma Su comes back again.
Ma Su was defeated ≠ Ma Su withdrew.
However, just when Guanqiu Jian was reorganizing his army, he suddenly saw hundreds of Shu troops turning around and fighting back.
"Huh? Ma Su actually dared to come back again!" Guanqiu Jian was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and then waved the flag in his hand suddenly.
"The whole army forms an array! The Shu army is back again!"
Seeing that the Shu army was back, the Wei army immediately put away their excitement and prepared to kill the enemy again.
The Shu army that came with hatred was like a sharp knife, stabbing the Wei army in the formation.
The Wei army's skirmishing formation is indeed annoying, blocking them from all sides like quicksand. Although this formation collapsed in a battle between large armies, it was extremely useful when fighting against cavalry charges.
"kill!!"
Ma Su led the remaining troops with great momentum, constantly attacking the Wei army's formation. Along the way, the Wei troops were unable to resist, and either fled or were trampled to death. However, the battle losses of the cavalrymen behind him gradually increased, and Ma Su said that his heart was bleeding.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Su rushed to the center of the army again, and rows of rock-solid armored warriors lined up to greet him. They waited for the Shu army to smash their heads and bleed in front of this strongest military formation, and then harvested from all sides.
However, just when the Shu army was about to collide, Ma Su suddenly turned his troops and passed by the edge of the Wei army's formation. Hundreds of veterans of hundreds of battles also had superb equestrian skills, and followed their coach extremely smoothly to avoid the Wei army's main formation.
Although angry, Ma Su is not a fool. The horses in such a hard armored formation are unwilling to move forward at all, so why bother losing troops and generals if they can't die?
Ma Su almost missed the edge and stabbed through again. Then he turned around and came over again, killing several low-level officers among the thousands of troops, and once again passed by the edge of the Wei army's formation.
After charging into the formation several times, Guanqiu Jian realized something was wrong.
"Is Ma Su exploring the scope of my elite military formation? Could it be that he wants to..." Guan Qiujian was a little surprised and quickly saw through Ma Su's thoughts.
Ma Su doesn't dare to hit your strong bones composed of soldiers, but can't the nearby skirmishers still be bullied? He was exploring the scope of Guanqiu Jian's military formation in order to prepare an evasive route.
I knew you, Ma Su, had no good intentions, and your chicken feet were exposed in the blink of an eye.
Guanqiu Jian was not worried at all, and then ordered the flag to be waved several times. The formation of the Chinese army slowly changed, and the range suddenly expanded.
Want to explore the scope of our army? I can change the formation.
Armored warriors in this era were all professional soldiers and were trained in various changes in military formations. Guanqiu Jian could easily change the Chinese army from a circular formation to a square formation, and then back again.
Want to bully my stragglers? Don’t even think about it!
However, Guanqiu Jian was still too young. As the most daring man in Shu Han, Ma Di was even bolder than Jiang Wei, and his ideas were always elusive to others.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Su's route suddenly changed and he began to attack from the outside. Under the pressure of the Shu army's continuous charging of the formation, the soldiers of the Wei army on the periphery began to subconsciously move towards the center.
Even on the battlefield, not everyone dares to die. What's more, the families of most of the soldiers in the outer fields are extremely important, and they should try to keep their lives as long as possible.
Even if there are officers to control the army, if you don't let me run away, why don't I lean inside?
What's more, some officers are also afraid of death...
Under attack from all sides, Guan Qiujian's Chinese army began to feel the pressure coming from all directions, in a physical sense!
"Why is it so crowded!"
"What's going on?"
"Don't go this way!"
…………

As the pressure spread inwards, Guanqiu Jian suddenly discovered something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why is the formation of stragglers on all sides so crowded?" Guanqiu Jian squinted his eyes and looked at the outer formations that suddenly became more and more scattered.
"General, the skirmishing formations on the outside are constantly crowding inward under the constant harassment of the Shu army. The formation of the central army is about to be scattered!" The deputy general saw it clearly, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Guan Qiujian climbed up and looked in person, only to see that the neat formation had been squeezed and scattered at some point. A large number of armored warriors were even pushed outside by the field soldiers.
"It's broken, something is going to happen!"
Guanqiu Jian suddenly became alert and quickly ordered his soldiers to kill the soldiers who were crowding in. The Chinese army is the core of maintaining the integrity of the skirmisher formation. Once it is disrupted, the consequences will be disastrous!
However, it was too late now, and Ma Su had already realized that his goal had been achieved.
"Haha, no matter how hard the walnut is, it will be crushed one day. Do you really think that bastard shell of yours can stop me?" Ma Di wiped the blood on his forehead, not knowing whether it was his own or Wei Jun's, showing a hint of terror. smile.
"You want to bleed me! I don't want to see if you have this ability!"
"Soldiers! Fight with me!"
"Long Wu's arrival is overwhelming!"
A soldier under Ma Di suddenly shouted, and then all the soldiers followed suit.
"Wherever Long Wu arrives, his power is like breaking bamboo!"
I don’t know if the slogans produced a chemical reaction, but this time the Shu army’s charge into battle became the most powerful in history. Every soldier regarded death as if he were dead. When the spear was broken, he changed his sword, and when the knife was cut, he changed his sword.
This hateful blow became the straw that broke the camel's back. Guanqiu Jian watched helplessly as the Shu army came straight at him, overwhelming the Chinese army's formation in one fell swoop!
"It's over!" Guanqiu Jian's face turned pale, and there was a bit of despair in his eyes.
The situation is over!
Let me make a little digression here,
Shuzhong took four final exams in a row in the past four weeks, which almost exhausted Shuzhong. But fortunately, it's all over now. There will be no exams and not many classes in the next month, and Shuzhong feels alive again.
From now on, we will repost the third update, Shuzhong is fighting!
Finally, I would like to thank all readers for your generous rewards, subscriptions and monthly support. Shuzhong has nothing to repay, so I simply don’t report it (cross it out) and can only find opportunities to add more to repay it!
Hum hum ah ah ah ah ah ah
