Chapter 361 Two thousand infantry defeated 30,000 Wei army

"I just said that Ma Su was cunning and could not be so careless! There is indeed something wrong with the Shu army's formation." Wang Sheng suddenly became nervous when he saw that the Wei army was unable to attack and that the army was helpless in the face of two thousand Han troops.

The embarrassment is not over. Being able to remain undefeated against Ma Di is considered a famous general in Cao Wei. This unknown person led 30,000 Wei troops to besiege him for half an hour, and it was great that he was not pushed back by Ma Su.

Enough with the nonsense, let’s get back to the point.

Wang Sheng was from Yingchuan and a son of a noble family, but his family background was not that good, so 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 that of ordinary people.

So when the Wei army couldn't attack Ma Su's Queyue Formation for a long time, Wang Sheng had already figured out the way.

This strategy of chaining chariots to resist the enemy has actually been around for a long time. It is said that when Taizu attacked Ma Chao, the powerful people in Guanzhong used this method to resist.

However, most of their defenses used chariots as a phalanx to guard against cavalry charges. It was the first time that the iron chain was connected like Ma Su's, and the chariots were arranged in a circular formation to resist the infantry.

Most of the infantry of the Wei army were infantry armed with swords and shields. The limited length of their weapons and the restrictions on their shields made them almost a living target after encountering the Queyue Formation.

The long spearmen of the Han Army basically aimed at the gaps in the Queyue Formation without thinking, and that alone could give the Wei Army a huge blow.

Even if some soldiers were lucky enough to climb onto the chariot, climb over and invade the Queyue Formation, they would not be able to hold out for long in the face of the waiting Han army.

In response, Wang Sheng considered whether he should continue to attack the city and wear down the Han army's physical strength bit by bit. As a result, his subordinates ran back and reported to him that the Han army had also begun to rotate.

The tired Han army retreated to the formation to eat and rest, and the reserve team then stepped forward to take over the battle. The formation connection is almost perfect, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

If this continues, the military formation arranged by Ma Di will become a trap to harvest the lives of Wei army officers and soldiers. Even if tens of thousands of people die here, they may not be able to defeat this moon-quenching formation.

"We have to respond, otherwise something will happen!" Wang Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to think as he looked at the fighting front.

In any case, even if you can't drive away the Shu army, you still have to gain something. If the opponent keeps knocking his front teeth into pieces like this, it can't be considered a military achievement.

After pondering for a while, Wang Sheng responded by asking the sword and shield men to retreat, and replaced them with spearmen to fight with the Shu army.

You are a spearman, and I am also a spearman. Let’s see who can stab the other!

Under Wang Sheng's command, the Wei army's formation began to change. The infantrymen holding shields and heavy armor retreated, and the pikemen stepped forward in turn.

Wang Sheng's idea was to cause some trouble for the Shu army, gain some gains on his side, and look good in face. However, when the Wei army replaced a large number of spearmen without shields for protection, all the Han soldiers in the formation became excited.

"Junhou, the Wei people have taken the bait!"

"Very good! Quick, follow the general's instructions and mount the short spear!"

Before the spearmen of the Wei army arrived, the soldiers of the Han army had already taken out a large number of short spears. At the same time, heavy crossbows hidden inside the Hussite chariot were revealed.

These chariots are specially made and equipped with extremely powerful heavy crossbows. To fire these heavy crossbows, you even need a Hercules hammer launcher!

"Fire the arrow!"

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 and was directly thrust into the face.

At this time, all the spearmen without shields were in front of the Wei army, and they were crowded in front and behind with nowhere to dodge. A short spear with strong enough impact can even penetrate three or four people at once.

The Wei army did not expect that the Han army had already had means waiting for them. A large number of Wei soldiers wanted to be directly stabbed to death in the crowd. The soldiers behind who were lucky enough not to die 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. The impact on the Han army became an internal stress that destroyed their internal formation.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is that Ma Su's frontal pressure dropped sharply, and the Wei army who attacked the military formation began to panic, and then refused to move forward.

"The enemy's formation is in chaos! It's time to counterattack!" Seeing this, Ma Su just shook his head slightly, then wiped the blood from his face and shouted.

At this moment, the Wei army's morale was in chaos, and the soldiers no longer had the courage to charge forward and fight. At this time, the Wei army's formation was like a broken house. With just one kick, they were completely in chaos, trampling on each other and no one dared to resist.

Obviously, the quality of the Wei army that came to drive Ma Su away did not satisfy Ma Su.

As for the last kick, Ma Su naturally had to kick it himself.

"What's going on? Why is the military formation suddenly in chaos!" At this moment, Wang Sheng did not realize the seriousness of the matter. In his sight, the Wei soldiers who were trying their best to suppress the Han army suddenly became confused. For some reason, a large number of soldiers began to trample and crowd each other, not daring to move forward.

In this case, the coach usually needs to visit the front line in person and adjust the deployment in time to save the defeat. But after learning from Man Chong's mistakes, Wang Sheng did not dare to go to the front army and only commanded remotely from the Chinese army.

As a result, the battle situation that had a chance to be saved completely collapsed.

When the Wei army was in chaos, the Han army's formation suddenly dispersed left and right, and all the soldiers except Ma Su ducked aside. Then the five hundred light cavalry who had just announced their meal and had been holding back for half an hour appeared in the Wei army's sight.

"The battle will continue even if our strength is exhausted! In order to help the Han Dynasty, you all charge with me!" Ma Su whistled, and then his horse rushed out from the side. Ma Su smoothly got on his horse, roared and rushed out first.

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

The morale of the five hundred Han cavalry who had been waiting for a long time was high, and they quickly followed Ma Su and attacked together.

At this moment, the Wei army had been fighting for such a long time, their morale was shaken, their lineup was in chaos, and they were no longer able to attack. When Ma Su suddenly launched a countercharge, it was like knocking over the first domino, quickly triggering a chain reaction.

"Ma Di is out!!"

"We have fallen into a trap! The Han army is coming to kill us!"

"It's all over, we've lost!"

"What the hell! Who just shouted that our army was defeated!" Wang Sheng was furious when he heard the rumors. When did the Wei army become so pessimistic? When the front army was in chaos, everyone shouted that our army was defeated?

"General, run quickly! Ma Di is coming to kill you!" At this time, several guards came in panic and immediately wanted to pull Wang Sheng away.

"Who came here to kill?" Wang Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked towards the front army.

I saw a white-robed general charging all the way, and the army was unstoppable, and he was close at hand in the blink of an eye!

"Fuck you! Ask the envoy for help!"

"Your Majesty and his troops have already retreated towards Dingling! General, leave quickly!"

"grass!"
