Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 725

As Ma Teng's army and Han Sui's army engaged in a battle of nearly [-] cavalry, it was inevitable that there would be a battle field outside Yunyang County.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pound, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and other young generals in Ma Teng's army, together with Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and Candidate, each led a troop to charge around the chaotic battlefield. It was as if eight sharp knives stabbed Han Suijun in front of him from time to time.

The pattern of victory and defeat on the frontal battlefield was obviously biased towards Ma Tengjun's side.

Standing on the wall of Yunyang County, Ma Teng was quite satisfied with the situation outside, and then looked to the other side of the battlefield ahead.

There is also an army over there that can really determine the outcome of this battle, and it is about to join the battle.

Although Ma Teng's army and Han Sui's army seemed to be fighting fiercely outside Yunyang County, in fact, the troops invested by both sides were still reserved.

Ma Teng probably invested [-]-[-] troops, including nearly [-] cavalry from Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and candidates. As for Han Sui, he also invested about [-] troops, but he still stayed. Half of the troops did not move in the rear.

Of course, with so many troops invested by both sides, the total number is nearly [-]. It feels a bit boundless when spread out like this, which is enough for the cavalry to charge and run for a while.

Therefore, although there are brave generals such as Ma Chao and Pound in Ma Teng's army rushing to kill on the battlefield, the outcome of this battle cannot be completely decided for a while. After all, Yan Xing, Li Kan, Cheng Yin and other generals in Han Sui's army also He was rushing bravely, helping Han Suijun to restore some situations.

It is still difficult to say the final result of such a battle situation, and it may also make Han Suijun come back.

So at this time, if there is a troop that can suddenly attack Han Sui's unused rear troops and horses, completely disrupting the Han Sui's rear troops, it will definitely make the Han Sui's cavalry on the front battlefield lose their fighting spirit, thus triggering the overall collapse of Han Sui's army.

And this key force is naturally the nearly [-] heavy armored cavalry led by Zhang Xiu.

Now Zhang Xiu had led [-] heavy armored cavalry out of the other side of the city gate of Yunyang County, ready to bypass the frontal battlefield in front and directly attack the unmoved part of Han Sui's army.

The commotion on the frontal battlefield also concealed the movement of the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Xiu. Now only Ma Teng knows the direction in which the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Xiu will appear.

After about half an hour on the frontal battlefield like this, the heavy armored cavalry led by Zhang Xiu suddenly appeared on the side of the battlefield, and then, like a rhinoceros beast, went straight to Han Sui's army stationed in the rear and rushed to kill them.

Zhang Xiu took the lead with a lance in his hand, and behind him were about [-] flag-bearing officers carrying flags with the word "Zhang" on their backs, also holding lances, and followed closely behind Zhang Xiu.

Cavalry combat naturally cannot use that kind of towering long-pole general flag, as the flagpole is easily broken as the horses rush.

Therefore, the general flags of the cavalry are generally double-pole flags tied on the back. It looks like the small flags carried by the Japanese when they fought, and it also looks like the colorful flags behind the generals in Peking Opera.

They can become the weathervane for other heavy cavalry in the rear. Wherever they rush, the heavy cavalry in the rear will also charge with them. Therefore, most of the flag officers who carry the general flag are also selected masters in the army. Human martial arts are not even inferior to ordinary generals.

In addition, Hu Che'er, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng also stood in front of a group of heavy armored cavalry. After the cavalry enters the enemy's line, it can lead the heavy armored cavalry to charge into the battle.

So the sudden appearance of these [-] heavy armored cavalry was completely beyond Han Suijun's expectations.

Under the command of Zhang Xiu, the heavy armored cavalry took advantage of the edge of the chaotic battlefield in front of them as a cover, broke through the battlefield in a rampage, and headed straight for the rear of Han Sui's army.

By this time, Han Sui also discovered the existence of this heavy armored cavalry, but everything seemed to be too late.

Han Sui could only command the archers to shoot arrows at them, and then commanded the reserve troops to prepare for the battle. At this time, Han Sui could not lead the troops to dodge directly, it would only lead to the collapse of his rear army. It will cause the soldiers and horses participating in the battle in front to lose their fighting spirit, thus causing the entire army to be defeated like a chain reaction.

Only by resisting the charge of this heavy armored cavalry can we look for an opportunity to withdraw the cavalry caught in the melee on the battlefield ahead, so as to guide the entire army to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

But the collision of a heavy armored cavalry could not be easily stopped.

What's more, although Zhang Xiu's martial arts cannot be included in the first-class and super ranks, it is at least a second-rate strength. In addition, Hu Che'er, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng's generals and nearly [-] heavy cavalry However, it was enough to attack Han Sui's unprepared army formation behind him.

The heavy armored cavalry didn't care about the feathered arrows falling from the sky. Under the protection of helmets and iron-inlaid leather armor, even if the feathered arrows landed on them, they would only jump away or splash off the iron skin, and seldom really hurt them. .

Even the war horses under their crotches are also covered with iron-inlaid leather armor. Although this increases the pressure on the horses, it also adds artificial hard skin to the horses, as if turning the horses into terrifying monsters.

The heavy armored cavalry quickly rushed to the front of Han Sui's rear formation, like a piece of iron smashed into tofu, and directly rushed into Han Sui's formation. Like a tofu flower, he involuntarily backed away from the surroundings.

This is not something manpower can contend with at all. This kind of heavy armored cavalry's tactics of charging with the help of war horses does not need to use any spear or knife skills. As long as they point the spear in their hands straight ahead, all opponents who dare to block in front can be crushed. The lance is pierced into candied haws.

As for the opponent's counterattack, there is no need to be afraid at all. Ordinary spear stabs and long knives may not be able to penetrate the iron armor they wear.

What's more, the heavy armored cavalry led by Zhang Xiu also had nearly [-] numbers. Therefore, after the heavy armored cavalry crashed into Han Sui's rear army formation, the remaining Han Sui army of about [-] to [-] troops did not have an advantage in numbers. There is no way to make an effective countermeasure.

Almost in a short period of time, Han Sui's army left in the rear was completely defeated by the heavy armored cavalry. Hu Che'er, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng also led a team of heavy armored cavalry to tear apart each other. The gathering points of Han Suijun's soldiers made it impossible for Han Suijun to gather and fight back.

Han Sui had no choice but to issue a retreat order.

Immediately, Han Sui's army began to retreat one after another, and the cavalry of Han Sui's army in the melee in front also looked for opportunities to leave the battle, trying to turn their horses and retreat back.

However, under such a battle situation, except for a few Han Sui army cavalry under the command of Han Sui army generals such as Yan Xing, Li Kan, and Cheng Yin, who could maintain a certain scale of overall retreat, most of the Han Sui army cavalry was actually somewhat defeated.

As a result, the scuffle that was supposed to be against each other suddenly turned into a chasing battle between one side and the other. Han Sui's army had no intention of resisting at all, but they all wanted to leave the battlefield as soon as possible and escape their lives as soon as possible.

However, Ma Teng's army did not intend to let Han Sui's army go, and the cavalry teams followed closely behind Han Sui's defeated soldiers to catch up...
