Chapter 496: The Zhennan Army breaks through the formation and Tong Xuan is surrounded
Shen Changgong was surprised when he saw this.
"Why are you going?"
"Lead the Zhennan Army to charge."
"Do you have to go in person? Are you that worried about Zhang Han?"
Ma Ling shook his head and said seriously,
"If we don't charge now, the enemies will be killed. It's been so long since I last charged into battle that my sword is getting old.
Moreover, if I can directly defeat the rear of the Eastern Army, I can also relieve the pressure on the Pingnan Army."
"Is it the knife that's old, or are you? Can you still charge? Didn't those six beautiful women hollow out your body? Can you still use the knife?"
Facing Shen Changgong's ridicule, Ma Ling snorted coldly and retorted,
"I am not like you, who only indulges in wine and women on weekdays and hides at the back on the battlefield, not daring to charge forward.
This king is not old, and neither is the sword. But you, please drink more wolfberry tea."
After saying this, Ma Ling walked down from the platform, mounted his warhorse, and led the Zhennan Army to circle to the east.
Shen Changgong chuckled, pointed at Ma Ling's departing back, and said to Gongsun Wan'er,
"He still has the nerve to say that I'm addicted to alcohol and women. This time he brought several women from Linzi."
Gongsun Wan'er rolled her eyes and said,
"Why do you care about others? Take care of yourself. They can at least sleep with six people in one night. How about you?"
"I can sleep six too."
Shen Changgong said seriously.
Gongsun Wan'er curled her lips and looked up at the sky, her face full of disbelief.
"Really? If you don't believe me, just wait and see when His Majesty comes. All four of them will be here this time, plus you and Yu Ziling, so you'll see if I can sleep with six of them."
"Get lost! His Majesty will never allow you to do this, you pervert."
"You've been a little bit off lately."
Gongsun Wan'er's pretty face turned slightly red, and a hint of pride appeared in the corner of her eyes, but then she hurriedly looked up at the sky, so as not to reveal her true thoughts.
"Is there any movement from the Wei army?"
Shen Changgong asked.
"There was no movement. Apart from some scouts, no soldiers came out."
"Since they are honest, there is no need to rush to deal with them."
Shen Changgong sat on the chair, still observing the battlefield.
Although Ma Ling used provocation to motivate him, he still did not personally charge into battle to interrupt.
Now the formation has been formed and victory is assured. If he goes over again, it will tie up a large part of his own army to protect him and will also disrupt the rhythm of the attack. He just needs to sit back and relax.
Yu Ziling was still commanding the Shenji Camp to bombard the middle of the enemy army, creating a weak defense zone in the middle of the enemy army. She then commanded the armies on both wings to penetrate through the weak zone and divide the enemy army again.
If the enemy troops are concentrated together, the defense they form will be very strong. If the front ones die, the ones behind will immediately take over, making it difficult to advance.
Normally, after surrounding the enemy with an absolute advantage in force, it would take one or two days to completely wipe out the enemy.
If you want to kill all the enemy troops as quickly as possible, you have to divide and surround them, cutting the enemy into small pieces. This way, it will be difficult for the enemy to form an effective defense and they will be unable to break through and counterattack. There will also be enough contact area with the encircling party, allowing the encircling party to display its superior forces more.
If there is no division and encirclement, and the enemy is only surrounded from all sides, then only those on the outermost layer will be fighting. This is no different from a battle between two armies in formation, and the advantage in military strength cannot be brought into play.
After dividing the enemy into small pieces, Yu Ziling ordered the Yan army to start shouting that they would not be killed if they surrendered.
After all, she is from Qi, and these people in front of her are also from Qi. She still hopes that the people of Qi can survive longer.
……
On the other side, the Zhennan Army also rushed to the battlefield.
More than 20,000 soldiers of the Eastern Route Army of the Pseudo-Qi were wiped out, and another 20,000 or so were trapped in the fish-scale formation and were attacked in pieces. They had no choice but to flee in panic, but the fish-scale formation was so complicated that no matter where they ran, there were enemies everywhere.
The lives of these more than 20,000 people are also being rapidly divided.
The pseudo-Qi army outside was called back by Tong Xuan, and they formed a sharp arrow formation and charged towards the Pingnan army in a mighty manner.
The Fengshi Formation is worthy of being the most ferocious formation. Under the personal leadership of Tong Xuan, the morale of the Pseudo-Qi Army was greatly boosted, and they broke through the first layer of the Pingnan Army's Fish Scale Formation with unstoppable momentum. The soldiers in the first layer had no choice but to retreat and fight on both sides of the Fengshi Formation to slow down the opponent's momentum.
Tong Xuan's morale was immediately boosted when he saw that his side was making great progress. When he was about to order a charge, he suddenly saw that the soldiers on both wings of the Yan army had surrounded them from both sides.
Li Bohan was very steady. The troops on both wings had never been put into battle. They were just waiting for the arrival of the entire enemy army before outflanking them.
As a result, the front half of the spearhead formation was attacked from three sides, its momentum slowed down, and it suddenly became chaotic.
To make matters worse, not only did the Pingnan Army hinder them, but even the Zhennan Army came in full force.
The Zhennan Army was extremely fast. One hundred thousand cavalrymen made a big circle from the east and rushed towards the center and rear army of the Fengshi formation with a crushing force.
The front of the spearhead formation was strong but weak on the sides. Moreover, the cavalry was good at charging to divide the battlefield, and they hit the soft spot of the pseudo-Qi army in one fell swoop.
King Ma Ling of the South took the lead, waving a big knife, and charged into the enemy army. With a wave of his hand, he slashed and reaped one life after another.
These Zhennan soldiers did not shout or roar. Each of them wore a black scarf on their face and had a cold look in their eyes. They were like the gods of death in hell, ruthlessly wielding their spears and sabers to reap the lives of the enemies.
Destroy with great force and suffer a complete defeat.
Tong Xuan turned around and saw this scene.
He saw his rear army being constantly submerged by this endless black steel torrent, and saw this torrent coming back and forth, turning into several torrents to chase the pseudo-Qi army whose formation was completely disrupted.
But the biggest torrent was heading straight for him.
"Defend! Surround me and defend!"
Tong Xuan roared loudly, asking the soldiers of the Fengshi Formation to come and protect him.
Why not call it the Central Rear Army?
Because the central and rear troops had been completely defeated.
Now the only army that Tong Xuan can still command is the vanguard of more than 10,000 people.
The sound of gongs continued to be heard, and the last of the pseudo-Qi army retreated one after another. The sharp arrow formation turned into a circular formation, protecting Tong Xuan inside.
King Ma Ling of the South personally led 20,000 cavalrymen from the Southern Guard and rushed towards Tong Xuan.
Li Bohan, who was far away, naturally knew what Ma Ling wanted to do, and immediately ordered all the infantry surrounding the Fengshi formation to withdraw, and to kill the enemies who were already in the encirclement with all their strength, leaving the battlefield to the Zhennan Army.
The opposite side formed a circular formation of more than 10,000 people, with dense spears pointing outward. The Zhennan Army could certainly break through, but it would suffer heavy losses, which was not a good idea.
