The horses were extremely fast, and soon the Wei cavalry and the Han infantry were at war. Pan Yu led his men in an arc and killed them at the junction of the left and right Han armies.
He was also a veteran general, and he could see the weakness of the Han army's formation at a glance, and planned to drill through it to tear the two wings of the Han army's formation.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The war horse and the knight on its back weighed hundreds of kilograms in total. The galloping charge made the Han army facing the battle feel that the enemy was more powerful. At this moment, the Han army at this weak point has not yet fully formed its formation. Seeing the Wei army coming at a rapid pace, the shield hand in front had no choice but to squat down and place the shield in front of him subconsciously.
Unfortunately, time was in a hurry, and the shield-bearers did not form a formation, but only defended themselves in twos and threes. The Wei army charged to pieces and smashed the shield-bearers in front to pieces.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
...
The powerful impact directly knocked dozens of Han troops to the ground. Because the Han army's formation had not yet been fully formed, Wei Qi, who was not wearing heavy armor, dared to charge directly into the formation. This impact made the Han troops here. The military formations became more scattered.
The leader, Qu Chang, knew that if the Wei army continued to charge like this, he might not be able to form an formation. What was even more dangerous was that once the Wei army broke through here, the entire formation on both wings might be breached.
So the song leader quickly called to the sergeants around him and took the lead in rushing forward. He insisted on maintaining the formation no matter what. Buddy, who was in the distance, also saw something was wrong here, and quickly ordered a sergeant to be dispatched from not far away from the left wing to support him.
While Pan Yu was commanding his sergeants to resist the Han troops surrounding him from the left and right wings, Pan Yu once again led the hundreds of cavalry gathered around him to continuously attack the weak points of the Han troops.
However, how could the Han army allow him to achieve his wish? Although the sergeants were heavily attacked, they still replenished their troops one after another and tried their best to maintain the formation.
Yang Qing and others on the top of the city had already been attracted by the fierce and fierce fighting there. Seeing that there were many casualties among the soldiers, everyone was anxious.
Although Yang Qing was worried in his heart, his face was still calm. As the coach, he couldn't show panic. Moreover, although there was a danger at the junction of the left and right wings, he saw that Badi had sent reinforcements and expected that there would be no possibility of defeat. Even though he was temporarily at a disadvantage locally, he still surrounded and killed more than a thousand Wei troops with a force of 4,000. , As long as the two Wei armies are not allowed to merge, there will be no danger of defeat.
Although Yang Qing felt at ease, the fierceness of the battle could not help but make him look sideways. This was the first time since the Han army went north to fight a large number of Wei army's elite cavalry in the wild, so this was a major test of the Han army's combat power.
"Being able to resist cavalry with foot is the true foundation of a strong army, and the Wudang Fei Army should be such a strong army." Yang Qing thought silently in his heart.
Outside the North City, the Han and Wei armies were still fighting with all their strength. Pan Yu led his troops to charge back and forth several times, killing many Han troops, but the Han army's formation was not torn apart in the end.
After the initial panic, the Han army gradually stabilized its formation. Although it paid a heavy price, the two wings were encircled. The Wei army's room for maneuver was slowly reduced, and the cavalry's maneuverability also gradually improved. Unable to perform well, he had to fight head-on with the Han army.
"Damn it, the number of these Shu troops is too much, otherwise they would have been able to break through their formation long ago. The current situation is not good. The Shu army's encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, the army will be surrounded. Dead." Pan Yu blocked a hidden arrow shot from the left with his sword, looked around at the situation, and thought anxiously.
Seeing that the encirclement formation was finally stabilized, Buddy finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was also the first time he independently commanded a large formation of four thousand people. Although he had practiced the formation many times before, the actual battle against the enemy was indeed different from usual. The training was different. The junction of the two wings was almost broken by the Wei army. Fortunately, his own troops were strong and he responded in time, so no adverse consequences were caused.
"Now is the time to annihilate this Wei army." Buddy thought to himself.
He began to wave the command flags repeatedly and command the army to change formations. The sergeants in the front two rows of the formation rushed out in the designated direction and separated the Wei troops in the formation. The initial encirclement formation gradually turned into several small formations. , this is exactly Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation method, which Wudang Feijun has practiced several times after forming an army.
"Why hasn't Chen Chuang come over yet? Could it be that he was stopped by the Shu army? But the main force of the Shu army is here with me. Even if some Shu army went to the east city to stop them, they should be able to quickly open an opening and kill them. Why? Haven't seen them yet?" As the Han army was changing formations, Pan Yu had discovered that the situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Wei army, and he became increasingly anxious.
At this moment, Chen Chuang, the Wei military captain outside the East City, was also extremely anxious. He really wanted to lead thousands of cavalry under his command back to the North City to support Pan Yu, but how could the Han cavalry in front of him make him do so?
Guliza knew that his cavalry was far from a match for the fine cavalry of the Wei army, so he did not attack the Wei cavalry, but just kept wandering around to entangle the enemy. The strength of the two armies was almost the same, so although the Wei army's cavalry was stronger than the Han army, it could not break through the Han army's obstruction in a short period of time.
"The situation is very bad if this continues. I'm afraid General Pan will be in danger. Now I can't escape, so the only solution is..." Chen Chuang raised his gun and stabbed a Han soldier in front of him to death. He looked back at Nanshan and thought to himself.
"You quickly lead a group of troops out of the rear formation and go to Nanshan to ask for help from General Zuo." Chen Chuang ordered a commander next to him.
"No." After receiving the order, the commander led fifty trusted cavalrymen to quickly move to the rear.
Guliza and the others mainly blocked the Wei army in the east city from going to the north city, so they were not able to intercept them in other directions.
Moreover, they only have over a thousand people, which is barely the same as the enemy in terms of strength, or even a few hundred less. They are unable to surround the enemies in the east city. It would be very easy for the enemy to rush out with a small number of troops.
However, this was exactly what Yang Qing and the others wanted to see. When Guli Zha saw the dozens of Wei cavalry running towards Nanshan, he couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth. He summoned a personal guard, gave a few instructions, and then sent the personal guard to the city.
"What, all the Han troops in Jieting City have been killed? Pan Yu can no longer resist and will be annihilated?" Zhang He was shocked when he heard the report and shouted angrily.
Now the battle between the Han and Wei armies on the bank of the stream has entered a fierce stage. Although the wall of the Han army's camp has not been completely breached, several holes have been torn open by the Wei army. The two armies are already fighting hand to hand.
Wang Ping personally guarded the largest opening and led his troops to fight with the incoming Wei army. Although he could barely hold on to the gap, the bodies of the Han army had fallen to the ground, and even Wang Ping himself was seriously injured.
Therefore, Zhang He was very confident in breaking through the Han army's camp. He believed that as long as he attacked for another hour or two, he could break through the Han army's camp here and seize the water source, thus turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.
But now a crisis suddenly appeared at the street pavilion. Pan Yu's three thousand fine cavalry could not stop the four to five thousand Han troops, and were even in danger of being destroyed. This really made Zhang He furious and fought.
"What on earth is Pan Yu doing? He is also a veteran for many years. How come he is so incompetent now? He is about to break through Wang Ping's camp, but he can't hold on. Do you want to give up the victory here?" Zhang He was a little unwilling, and he quickly calculated in his mind the gains and losses of abandoning this place and going to the street pavilion for reinforcements.
Zhang He squinted at the Han and Wei armies that were fighting fiercely in the distance. Although the Han army was at a disadvantage, the entire camp and formation were still maintained. Wang Ping's command was still stable, and troops were mobilized to extinguish the crises everywhere. Be quick and decisive.
"That's all, Wang Ping's defense is calm. I'm afraid I haven't broken through the camp here yet. Pan Yu's place has already been destroyed. In any case, the three thousand elite cavalry there cannot be abandoned easily."
Zhang He calculated the current pros and cons, decisively ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and quickly led his troops to kill at the street pavilion.
