Ma Chao's shot was powerful and heavy. Yan Xing tried his best to dodge. Although he was not hit, his helmet was knocked to the ground!
But at this time, he didn't care so much. He pulled the reins, turned around and retreated towards his own army formation!
Ma Chao wanted to pursue him, but countless bows and arrows came from the rebels.
He could only rein in his horse and smiled disdainfully,
"You can run fast! How dare such an incompetent person go against me?!"
The embarrassed Yan Xing came to Han Sui and lowered his head in shame.
"My lord, the last general... is incompetent and is no match for Ma Chao."
Although Han Sui was angry at Yan Xing's defeat, it damaged the morale of the army.
But he also knew how powerful Ma Chao was, so he did not blame Yan Xing, but said calmly,
"General Yan, there is no need to blame yourself."
Cheng Gongying on the side suggested,
"My lord, Yang Ling has so many powerful generals. It is unwise to continue to send people to fight. It is better to start a direct war!"
Han Sui nodded,
"The military advisor is right. Come, prepare to send out the army!"
Following his order, the war drums of "dong dong dong" sounded, and the mighty rebels began to advance towards Cao Jun!
the other side.
Ma Chao defeated Yan Xing and returned in triumph.
"General Meng Qi is indeed mighty!"
"I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can match Meng Qi."
Gan Ning and others gathered around Ma Chao and praised with a smile.
At this moment, the passionate drums sounded, and everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked forward.
When they saw the rebels marching here, their expressions instantly became serious.
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
Yang Ling shouted in a deep voice.
"Please give me your orders, General!"
"Return to your respective positions immediately and prepare to face the enemy!"
"Here!"
Everyone clasped their fists to accept the order and left.
Looking at the approaching rebels, Zhao Yun couldn't help but said,
"At this juncture, what good plan does eldest brother have to defeat the rebels?"
Yang Ling laughed, pointed at the right wing of the rebels and said,
"Look what that is?"
Zhao Yun looked in the direction he was pointing. When he saw the rebel right wing clearly, he was stunned.
"It turned out to be him..."
In order to deal with Yang Ling this time, Han Sui also thought carefully when arranging his troops.
He placed all his elite infantry in the central army.
The cavalry of King Song Jian of the Han Dynasty at Heshou Ping, Zhang Meng, the governor of Wuwei County, and others, together with Han Sui's cavalry, were all arranged on the left flank.
The position on the right wing was guarded by the Huns.
As for the Qiang, Di and other Hu troops, Han Sui took them all as rear troops.
He would not send these barbarians with corrupt military discipline unless absolutely necessary.
Such an arrangement is perfect!
Han Sui was very confident that he could defeat Yang Ling!
Five hundred steps!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
…
Fifty steps!
The two sides are so close that they can already see each other's appearance!
The first to take action was Cao Jun brought by Yang Ling.
They all took down the Lingyue repeating crossbows and pulled the triggers on the rebels!
For a moment, arrows flew like locusts towards the rebels!
Fortunately, Han Sui had already made arrangements. The rebel soldiers in the front row raised their heavy shields and blocked all the arrows!
Just as the soldiers on both sides were getting ready for a life-and-death battle, there was a commotion from the right wing of the rebels!
Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing and others were stunned and looked towards the right wing.
I saw dust flying there and shouts of killing rising to the sky.
What the hell is going on?
Han Sui was confused!
The armies of both sides haven't officially fought yet, so why is the right wing in chaos?
Before he could figure out the situation, he saw the general candidate responsible for commanding the central army staggering over.
As soon as the candidate saw Han Sui, he cried out,
"Lord, the Huns have rebelled!"
"What?!"
Han Sui's head buzzed and he was horrified.
"What are you talking about?!"
"My lord, it's absolutely true! The Huns' cavalry just turned around and began to attack our right wing!"
Han Sui raised his head and tried his best to look towards the right wing.
Sure enough, as the candidate said, the Huns cavalry began to attack Han Sui's Chinese army!
The rebels were concentrating on preparing to deal with Cao Jun, and they did not expect that the friendly troops beside them would suddenly turn against them.
Caught off guard, they fell into chaos!
Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing and others all had chills running down their spines and their hearts sank into their stomachs!
Although it is unclear why the Huns rebelled, this would put the rebels in catastrophe!
No wonder Yang Ling took the initiative to seek a battle with his weak troops.
It turned out that he actually colluded with the Huns and deliberately set up a trap for himself!
Thinking of this, Han Sui was so excited that his vision went dark, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he almost fell off his horse!
"Lord!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly helped him!
Han Sui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a sad smile,
"Quickly, let the troops withdraw!"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, Cheng Gongying said with a wry smile,
"Lord, our army has engaged Cao's army. If we retreat now, I'm afraid it will be completely defeated!"
"A total rout is better than an entire army being annihilated!"
Han Sui said viciously.
"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"
Cheng Yin on the side nodded in agreement,
"General Yimo thinks that our army can withdraw from the battlefield first and let Song Jian, Qiang Di and other barbarians break the rear!"
"How can this be done? How could Song Jian, Zhang Meng and others spare us afterwards?"
Cheng Gongying said hesitantly.
"That depends on them surviving!"
Han Sui said with a cruel smile.
At this time, in order to preserve his own strength, he didn't care so much.
Cheng Gongying was stunned for a moment, and could only remain silent.
Under Han Sui's order, the originally exciting drums suddenly became muffled.
Han Sui's army, which was being attacked from both sides by Cao's army and the Huns, heard the drumbeat calling for retreat.
Feeling relieved, they immediately gave up resistance and retreated like a tide.
Unaware of this, Song Jian, Zhang Meng and others were still fighting fiercely with Cao Jun on the left wing.
It wasn't until their right wing was violently attacked by Cao's army that they realized something was wrong.
"What's going on, where is Han Sui's Chinese army?!"
Seeing the rushing Cao Jun, Zhang Meng was dumbfounded!
"Oh no, Han Sui actually ran away!"
Song Jian pointed at Han Sui's retreating troops not far away and couldn't help but cursed.
Zhang Meng came to his senses and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
But now is not the time to be angry. If they don't retreat and are surrounded by Cao's army later, they will be doomed!
So Song Jian, Zhang Meng and others, without any hesitation, immediately commanded the army to withdraw from the battlefield.
But how could Yang Ling let the rebels retreat so easily?
He immediately ordered Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Pang De to lead the left, center, and right armies to pursue the rebels.
Under the fierce pursuit of Cao Jun, the rebels were beaten and fled.
In order to survive, they trampled on each other!
