Chapter 599 Han generals break the formation
Whenever military formations are deployed, military discipline will be strictly required.
Under normal circumstances, the military formation will not spontaneously change with the opponent's actions. But now, the Han cavalry only detoured from the front to the flanks, while the Wei army's formation changed involuntarily.
All this shows that the military morale of the Wei army is disintegrating and has dropped to a certain value.
Launching an attack at this time is a good time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
Without any hesitation, Ma Su immediately ordered Ma Zhong to lead his troops to launch a tentative attack on the flank of the Wei army. Through Ma Zhong's attack, the Wei army on the front line began to subconsciously shift defense to the flanks.
At this time, the frontal obstacles become very weak.
And the hour after Ma Su caught up, he was not waiting for reinforcements. The most elite of his headquarters, Long Wuyi, with 300 people, has quietly hid aside and completed the armouring!
Ma Zhong quickly accepted the military order and quickly accelerated his marching speed, arriving at the right flank of the Wei army in the blink of an eye. Because of Ma Zhong's movement, Cao Wei's former army began to shift to the right without the control of the generals.
This is a normal situation. Generally speaking, only the generals need to make adjustments, and the military formation will be restored soon.
So, what are the generals of Cao and Wei doing now?
in a meeting……
Because the current unit is the Hebei Army, and there are not many of Fei Yao's confidants among them. Therefore, if Fei Yao wanted to arrange for Buqu to be the queen, he had to hold a meeting to ask the opinions of these Kwantung generals.
But unfortunately, the time he chose for the meeting was not very suitable. As soon as he set up the meeting stage, Ma Su launched an attack.
Due to the lack of restraint from the generals, Cao Wei's front army was in a leaderless stage at this time. It was at this time that Ma Su launched a full-scale attack!
Three hundred heavily armed Longwu Yi Cong, under Ma Su's command, suddenly appeared in front of the Wei army. The jet black armor combined with the rising sand and dust instantly gave the Wei army a huge blow to their morale!
"It's a black-armored ghost rider!"
"Shu people's black-armored ghost riders! Get out of the way!"
"They're charging! Run!"
Since the Battle of Hulao Pass, the existence of the Han army's heavy cavalry has been widely spread among the Wei army. Faced with such an iron cavalry that was extremely lethal and unable to fight back at all, Wei's soldiers fearfully called it the black-armored ghost cavalry.
The appearance of Longwu Yicong quickly caused great panic on the front line of the Wei army. The formation, which was already in disarray, became an uproar when they saw this thing appear.
As a result, even before Ma Su led Long Wuyi to rush forward, the Wei army's formation dispersed. The Kwantung soldiers, who had long seen the power of armored cavalry, were running in all directions, as far away from the Han army as if they were far away from the Taishan Prefecture.
Three hundred Han army cavalry rushed into the Wei army's formation with overwhelming force. While they killed hundreds of people and broke through the Wei army's formation, the Han army's momentum had no impact at all.
Although there were only 300 heavily armored cavalry, there were a thousand light cavalry following the charge. After the Wei army's formation was dispersed, the light cavalry quickly executed a diagonal charge from the middle side to the front.
After breaking through the Wei army's formation, he quickly turned his horse's head and rushed back. In this way, he cooperated with the heavy cavalry, just like peeling off bamboo shoots, peeling off layer by layer.
The real strength of the infantry formation lies in the formation and its reasonable configuration. Ensuring that the soldiers can concentrate on defending against the enemy in one direction can unleash the combat power of the infantry and maintain morale.
On the contrary, once the infantry phalanx is broken down, these soldiers become individual combat units. When enemies may appear on all sides, the infantry will panic, drop their weapons and flee.
In this case, the infantry is no longer a combat unit, but a true rout.
The Wei army was in such a situation at this time, and the entire front army was easily overwhelmed by Ma Di. In a very short period of time, tens of thousands of Wei troops scattered in all directions and became living targets for the Han cavalry to train and kill.
The field once turned into a mount and slash training mode...
However, Feiyao was prepared for this, so the military formation he deployed was a deep square formation. The formation formed by the whole army was very deep, and even if the horses were at full power, they would not be able to penetrate it for a while.
However, although Fei Yao thought about Ma Su rushing into the battle, he did not change his daily meeting position because of this. So when Fei Yao and the generals were discussing who should be retained in the rear, Ma Di rushed to the venue...
"Feiyao kid! Come and accept your fate!"
Ma Di saw the Wei army's commanding flag from a distance, and at the same time saw a large number of Wei army generals. He knew they were having a meeting at first glance, so Ma Su ran over at full speed without saying anything.
This Fei Yao is really stingy. He didn't call me even once during the meeting. If I hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to catch up.
"Then, let me give Fei Yao a concluding speech!"
Under the leadership of Ma Su, the Han cavalry rushed into the unprepared Wei army meeting place. The generals who had not expected the Han army to rush over suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment.
However, veteran Fei Yao responded very quickly. When Ma Su shouted the first sentence, he had already jumped on the horse.
"Quickly retreat! We can't save our troops! It's important to save our lives!" The moment he saw Ma Su, Fei Yao knew that the 60,000-strong army was going to be completely buried here.
So he abandoned the army without hesitation and planned to go to Yanzhou to replenish his army. Anyway, Kanto has a large population. As long as the generals return alive, it won't be long before they can pull out another army!
Fei Yao chose to abandon the army and leave, which meant that the Wei army completely lost the chance to struggle. After Ma Di rushed to the meeting place, almost no one of Cao Wei's senior generals could escape, and most of them died in the chaos.
As for the remaining cavalry of the Wei army, they were unable to stop them immediately because of the obstruction of this group of generals. In the end, this series of small problems turned into a major defeat of the Wei army!
In a head-on confrontation, two thousand cavalry defeated the 60,000-strong Wei army in one battle. Moreover, this is not just Ma Su using the flood as a barrier in Runan, but an upright defeat of the enemy.
After this battle, Ma Su's position in the Martial Temple was probably completely confirmed.
There will be actors in later generations praising Ma Di's battle, and they will be called "The Music of Han Generals Breaking the Formation".
"Kill!!" Just when the Wei army was in chaos, Ma Zhong also led 700 people around to the side of the Wei army. When the Wei army had no master, he and Ma Di attacked the Wei army's formation from behind.
The entire Wei army was directly pierced in this way, and the entire army collapsed under the diagonal charge. A large number of soldiers fell to the ground in the chaos, and finally died at the feet of their own people.
As for Feiyao, he was not very lucky. While fleeing backwards, he was discovered by a group of Han cavalry.
But Fei Yao was very clever. Before the Han army's saber struck his head, he conquered several Han army cavalry in front of him with just one sentence.
"I am Fei Yao, the captain of the Xiongnu army. Do you want me to give you a fortune?"
