Chapter 333: Breaking Zhang He (14)

After saying that, Zhuge Liang changed a red flag, waved it three times, and the flag language spread to all directions, and the formation of the Han army began to change again.

If the formations just now overlap and densely overlap, then the Han army formation is now open, and it seems that it does not take the Wei soldiers outside the formation seriously. This is exactly the transformation from the defensive ground-loading formation to the offensive sky-covering formation.

The changes in the Han army's formation naturally fell into Zhang He's eyes. The tragic situation of his own army in the formation had already made him anxious. However, the Han army's formation was stable and strict just now, so he did not dare to let He Di and Pan Yu lead the cavalry to support him easily.

Now the opening of the Han Formation portal seemed to give the cavalry a chance to enter, but he understood that Zhuge Liang would have no intention of changing the formation like this, but the Wei army was killed and injured in the formation. If he did not rescue him, he would probably be eaten by the Han army.

"I heard that Zhuge Liang was good at managing troops, but I didn't expect that he was so powerful. The combat power of the Shu army is no less than that of Liu Bei." Zhang He sighed with a worried look on his face.

"Transfer to He Di and Pan Yu to support him."

The deputy general on the side received the order of Zhang He and quickly waved the flag in his hand. Seeing this, Pan Yu took the lead and led his cavalry from the north and south to the Han army formation.

When the Wei army infantry saw their elite cavalry coming, their morale was greatly boosted. Qiu Yan, Cheng Shun and other generals took the opportunity to shout a counterattack. The Wei soldiers who had been in chaos for a long time actually had some momentum to form a formation.

Although the Wei cavalry were all light cavalry and the horses were not worn with armor, they still caused considerable damage to the Han army with their extraordinary cavalry and shooting skills.

With the huge impact force brought by the high-speed Mercedes, the Wei cavalry made a spurt to break through the Han army's heavy array, and instantly rescued several infantrymen and escaped from the siege.

Seeing that the Wei cavalry was so arrogant, Ma Su bowed and suggested, "Prime Minister, it is better to send the Martial Cavalry and the scattered cavalry to deal with it."

"It's okay, let's see how I fight back." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled calmly: "And the two armies of the Martial Cavalry are not used in this way. The Wei Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, rich in experience, so it is not suitable to use cavalry to fight head-on."

The Han army had only thousands of cavalry, and they were always very talented, so Zhuge Liang naturally did not want it to be easily damaged.

"Su has received the teachings."

Zhuge Liang left Ma Su in the central army, and he naturally taught him the intention of commanding the battle.

Since the start of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang has discovered that Ma Su has insufficient experience in the battle. Although he is familiar with military strategies, he is a bit of talking about military strategy. However, even so, Ma Su is still a rare talent. Zhuge Liang thought he could still be trained and improved.

Soon, under the dispatch of Zhuge Liang, the Han army's formation began to change again. Originally, the speed of the Han army's resistance to the Wei cavalry had slowed down a lot, He Di and Pan Yu were worried about how to speed up and enhance the impact of the war horses. Suddenly, the gap between the small formations of the Han army became larger and larger, so they didn't have time to think about it and led the soldiers into the gap.

He Pan and the other two were also long-time generals. They knew that this was probably the Han army deliberately induced their advance route, but they thought that as long as they were careful and not rushing around, they would not go astray when they aimed at the central position of the Han army.

But the formation of the Han army was unpredictable. Even though they were careful enough, they were somehow lured into the ring formation.

"What's going on? This road was clearly heading straight into the Shu army formation, so why did it turn to the left?" He Di shouted in panic.

He still thought the Eight Formation Diagram too simply. This was a formation developed by Zhuge Liang painstakingly. The purpose was to allow the Han army, mainly infantry, to defeat the Wei army with a large number of cavalry in the wild.

Of course, it was the first time Zhang He and others saw the Eighth Formation. Before they fully understood the power of this Formation. Although He Di, Pan Yu and others already knew the horror of this Formation, it was too late at this moment.

The Wei cavalry rushed left and right and finally couldn't come out, and their strength gradually depleted. The Han army's spearmen took advantage of the momentum to stab and kill many Wei cavalry and war horses from behind. A crossbowman shot arrows from behind, and the Wei soldiers fell down one after another.

"General, the situation is not good. If this continues, General Qiu and the others will be trapped in the death formation." A deputy general said to Zhang He anxiously.

Before Zhang He could answer, another side general clasped his fist and said, "General, Zhuge Liang's formation is really powerful. He can no longer defeat the Shu army today. I thought it was time to withdraw the troops. If we delayed it, our army would suffer serious losses."

"Yes, General, it would probably be too late if you don't withdraw."

"If you drag on it, it won't be a big deal."

"Please make a decision early."

......

All the generals were determined to retreat, but Zhang He was a little difficult to make a decision. Although the troops in the formation were at a disadvantage, they were still fighting hard. Although the Han army's battle formation was exquisite, their troops had been used up. And he still had 10,000 infantry and cavalry under his command. If he rushed over, it might not be impossible to turn the situation around.

What's more, if we cannot defeat the enemy in one battle today, the situation will become increasingly difficult. The people in Longyou, the safety of Shangji, the food and grass of the army, etc. will all become major problems.

However, he also knew that if the entire army could not defeat the Han army, the situation would be even worse. Not to mention the loss of troops and generals, even the entire army would be in danger of destruction.

"What should we do if we fight or retreat?"

Just as Zhang He was pondering, a side general suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed: "General, look..."

Zhang He and others looked forward and were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that the entire Han army formation was slowly coming towards the Wei army.

There were still tens of thousands of Wei troops in the formation, and the Han army's formation could actually surround them while moving forward. Zhang He and others had never heard of this formation. Everyone was stunned and could not believe it.

"General, our people are back."

As hesitated, more than a thousand Wei soldiers escaped from the Han formation. Zhang He immediately reacted and shouted: "No, Zhuge Liang deliberately released the defeated soldiers to attack our army's main formation, which was cruel and insidious.

He quickly ordered the Jin Dynasty to withdraw the troops and asked the troops to withdraw. He then transferred the archers to come forward, stopped the retreat, and ordered them to retreat from both sides of the formation. Those who attacked the formation immediately killed him. I returned to the camp quickly and was ready to take over the front army at any time."

Zhang He reacted quickly and issued multiple orders in a row. When the situation developed to this point, he no longer dared to hope to win today's battle, and only wanted the preservation brigade to withdraw from the camp.

The reason why the Han army's formation moved forward was of course because Zhuge Liang changed the formation. The Wei army was completely at a disadvantage in the formation. Now only the Wei army's formation is waiting to be broken, so Zhuge Liang turned the ground formation into a Fengyang formation, and the entire army attacked the Wei army like a wind wind.

Although Zhang He ordered the archers to come forward to stop the defeated soldiers, under Zhuge Liang's intentional actions, more and more Wei soldiers escaped from the Eight Formation Map. They panicked and subconsciously ran towards the formation. There were so many people, how could Zhang He stop it?

So the Wei army was attacked by the defeated soldiers and immediately broke away without attack. The troops panicked and fled in all directions, with soldiers not knowing the generals, and generals not knowing the soldiers.

Seeing this, Zhang He knew that he was unable to turn the world back, so he sighed to the sky, and wanted to reorganize his troops and fight to the death with the Han army, but finally retreated to the camp under the persuasion of the deputy general's personal guard.

The Fengyang Formation is the most conducive to rapid attack in the Eight Formation Diagram. The gates of the formation are opened, and all the defeated soldiers are released to attack the opponent's own formation. Zhuge Liang ordered a flag to be pointed, Wei Yan is in the middle, Wu Yi is on the left, Guan Xing is on the right, each leading the army to chase and kill. There are also martial cavalry. The two cavalrymen of the Sanqi cavalry were blocked from the flanks, and the three armies were in conjunction with each other, and the sound of killing was shocked.

In fact, when an army achieves great results in killing and killing defeated soldiers, Zhuge Liang also knows this truth well, and then the gusts of wind rise and pursuit of the remaining soldiers.

The Wei army fought each other and was unable to resist, so they had to run to the camp desperately. Fortunately, the Wei camp was several miles away, and the guard Dai Ling led thousands of soldiers out to respond, so the Wei army had a glimmer of life.
