Chapter 360 Que Yue Formation

Under Ma Su's deployment, two thousand Han infantry quickly formed a formation behind the water, and at the same time spread out the chariots they carried. Five hundred cavalry stood on the side of the camp, commanded by Ma Su's personal guards, as wandering soldiers.

Although he wanted to seek death, Ma Su was not so stupid as to only bring the old and the weak. At most, he would carry out some risky and adventurous actions, and he was far from seeking death.

These two thousand Han soldiers were all wearing black armor, and the weapons and equipment in their hands were the best in the Han army. The five hundred cavalry were also led by their most capable bodyguards. They were all light cavalry and were equipped with stirrups and horseshoes.

No matter how easy it is to get my head, Ma Su, I can't let a waste take it away, right?

Ma Su began to deploy the army in full swing, with two thousand Han troops backed by Jishui, preparing for a last-ditch battle with the Wei army.

Because Ma Di was so famous and Wang Chang's general Wang Sheng was cautious, the Wei army marched very cautiously. After walking for half an hour, the formation was finally set up ten miles away from the Shu army's formation. It was not until the Han army's formation had already been set up that the Wei army slowly crawled to the front of the Han army's formation.

But what shocked the Wei army was that the Han army's military formation was very strange this time. There are chains of chariots on both sides, forming a half-moon-shaped circular formation against the thorn water.

Two thousand Han soldiers were wearing black armor and standing in this semicircular formation. There is only a small gap in the middle of the chariots on both sides, which is guarded by elite soldiers of the Han army.

At the front of the Han army, a general wearing a white robe stood in front of the camp. It was Ma Di who flooded the entire army!

This formation is the famous Queyue Formation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a classic when Liu Yu fought against the Northern Wei Dynasty. After Ma Su's improvements, this formation became the trump card against the Wei army this time.

Even if he had no cavalry and only fought with infantry, Ma Su was not incompetent.

"This formation... is weird!" Wang Shengduo was a general serving for the governor, so he had some experience. Something was wrong at a glance. It was obvious that the Shu army's formation was not so easy to chew.

Wang Sheng did not dare to move forward and sent Pegasus back to report to Wang Chang.

It's just that this behavior made Ma Di, who was in front of the Han army's formation, see it clearly. He squinted his eyes slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.

Soon Wang Sheng reported it and received Wang Chang's instructions.

"Looking at everything, I believe you are enough to kill Ma Su."

Wang Chang didn't want to take the blame if he didn't go to the front line. How could he give instructions at this time? If he is defeated, his responsibility will be huge.

Wang Sheng had no choice but to follow the usual fighting method, with the archers shooting first, and the infantry slowly pressing forward with shields.

No matter how good Ma Su is in fighting, his strength lies in cavalry, assault and super mobility. Now he himself gave up the cavalry detour and showed up in front of the army in person, which was no different from inserting a bid to sell his head.

If you are covered in iron and can drive a few nails, is it possible that you can kill ten or twenty thousand people by yourself?

With this idea in mind, Wang Sheng issued an order for the entire army to attack, allowing 30,000 Wei troops to take turns attacking the Han army.

First, thousands of archers set up a formation, aimed at the Han army's formation and fired arrows in large numbers. Countless arrows were shot out and densely pressed into the Moon Formation.

However, the Han army was well prepared. The two thousand Han army relied on chariots and shields, and they were all well hidden. Tens of thousands of arrows from the Wei army were fired at, but the impact on Ma Su's side was minimal.

However, there was one detail that made Wang Sheng realize that something was wrong. He noticed that the Great Demon King Ma Su was standing in front of the formation and did not dodge at all. But several rounds of arrows passed, and Ma Su still stood there intact, calmly watching the Wei army's troops press forward.

"What's the situation? Could it be that the Shu people really have ghosts and gods to help them? Or are they just lucky?" Cold sweat began to break out on Wang Sheng's forehead. He was the first person to notice that something was wrong with Ma Su.

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Wang Sheng could only bite the bullet and order the army to press forward.

As the Wei army got closer and closer, Wang Sheng's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. Especially when I saw Ma Su seemingly not moving, I felt even more unsure.

tnnd Wang Chang, such a dangerous mission has pushed me out!

Just when the vanguard of the Wei army approached about a hundred steps away, Ma Di suddenly raised his gun and struck the light. The Han army in the formation suddenly changed their formation, and crossbow arrows mounted on the crossbows appeared in the gaps between the chariots!

"Fire the arrow!"

Countless crossbow arrows were shot out quickly, one after another. The dense crossbow arrows quickly flew towards the Wei army. At such a close range, the Wei army could not dodge. Many infantrymen were shot to the ground, and chaos immediately appeared in the originally neat phalanx.

However, as the main force of the Wei army slowly pressed forward, the harassment of the Shu army was suppressed. The infantrymen at the back, surrounded by the military formation, stepped on the body of Pao Ze in front, and pressed them step by step to the front of the Han army formation.

"Get ready to fight!" Ma Di raised his eyebrows and personally led his guards into formation, standing at the front of the formation as the vanguard of the fight.

Within a few breaths, the Wei army's large army finally pressed in front of the Shu army's formation. Under the huge inertia of the tens of thousands of troops, an extremely terrifying impact hit in front of Ma Su's Queyue Formation.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Countless Wei soldiers came shouting and charging, fighting desperately against the Han soldiers. Countless spears and daggers came at them in a dense manner, and there were more than a dozen spears just to greet Ma Su.

When the battle came to a head, Ma Su's reputation was not easy to maintain. The soldiers of Wei began to rush in numbly, no longer afraid of you Ma Di.

"You can't pass!"

However, Ma Su is not a vegetarian, and he uses a double-headed gun extremely smoothly. Facing the Wei soldiers who kept coming up, Ma Di did not panic at all. While blocking the Wei army's sneak attack extremely smoothly, he was also able to easily kill the Wei soldiers in front of him.

Of course, luck also played a big role. Under the light of the sword, there was no gun, but a knife stabbed Ma Su in the vital part. At most, it would bruise his shoulder and arm and give him some skin trauma, which would not affect Ma Su's performance at all.

In just one stick of incense, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying at Ma Su's feet.

At this time, the advantages of Queyue Formation also emerged. Facing a Wei army that was ten times larger than itself, the pressure faced by the Han army was theoretically very high. After all, the Wei army was pressing forward from three directions, and his home was backed by Jishui, so there was no room for retreat. It was easy for him to be forced directly into the river to feed the fish.

Don't think that a last-ditch battle is a good thing. Most of the generals who think so are feeding the fishes.

For example, Dongwu Bu Zhao's 10,000 Jiaozhou elites were driven into the water by Ma Su's 1,000 cavalry and drowned in this way.

But with the semicircular chain chariots on the left and right sides, the threat posed by the Wei army's infantry to the Han army was instantly reduced by more than half. The Han army relies on chariots for defense. Although it is not as easy to defend against cavalry, it is also very difficult for infantry to crawl over.

As for the frontal military formation, hindered by the chariots, the space for the Wei army to attack was very small. Wei Sui was ten times as powerful as Han, but he was unable to use it. Instead, he let Ma Su maintain his position and use more to defeat fewer.

The two sides fought for less than half an hour, and the Wei army lost troops and generals. As a result, there was no progress at all!
