On the hill, countless flags and banners were fluttering in the wind, the horses neighed, and the soldiers cheered up.
It took too much time and energy to pursue them all the way.
Today, they finally caught up with the Xianbei people.
Success or failure depends on this.
Liu Cheng shouted: "Ma Chao, lead five thousand Qiang cavalry to attack the Xianbei people's center in a surprise attack.
Do not stop or turn around without penetrating the opponent's formation.
Let the soldiers remember to maintain their formation, regardless of the situation behind them."
Left and right, their target is in front, stabbing and hacking to death all enemies standing in front of them."
"Yes," Ma Chao agreed, clasping his fists.
He rode his horse forward, turned around and shouted, "Qiang cavalry, come forward, prepare to attack."
Five thousand Qiang cavalry slowly walked out of the military formation.
"Pay attention to maintaining the formation.
If one person is killed, the people behind him will immediately take up their positions.
Use your swords and guns to kill all the enemies in the front.
Follow me."
"kill" Ma Chao ran at the front with his spear raised.
The five thousand Qiang cavalry behind him rushed down from the hill in order in order to the Xianbei people on the opposite side.
Five thousand Qiang cavalry were densely connected and lined up in a long formation.
Everyone was working hard to speed up, speed up, and speed up again.
Because the movements are consistent and the formation is neat and tight, this team has formed a unique rhythm in the high-speed sprint.
Because of the unique rhythm, it resonates with the world and creates a huge momentum.
The huge momentum coming towards them made the Xianbei people feel unprecedented pressure.
Bu Dugen's face was serious.
He knew very well that the Han army had rushed over.
With no chance of winning, he drew his scimitar and pointed forward: "You guys, kill!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," the Xianbei people shouted, raising their bows and arrows, and hitting their horses to attack the approaching Han army.
Some Xianbei people were waving their scimitars, and kept clamping the horse's belly with their feet.
The horses ran faster and faster.
They had ferocious faces, opened their big mouths and kept roaring.
Some people were holding bows and arrows, ready to release arrows.
Without any orders, the Xianbei people on horseback shot arrows at the rushing Han soldiers almost at the same time.
The first wave of arrows fell on the heads of the Han soldiers.
One after another, Han soldiers were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
They were not sure whether they were alive or dead.
The vacant positions were quickly filled by soldiers who sped up from behind.
There was no trace of the formation.
Scattered.
Immediately after the second, third, and fourth waves of arrows fell, the five thousand Qiang cavalry suffered heavy losses, and even large areas fell down in the charging military formation.
Although this caused a short period of chaos, , but the Qiang cavalry behind them quickly followed up and filled the gap.
After being attacked by the Xianbei people's bows and arrows, Ma Chao finally led the Qiang cavalry into the oncoming Xianbei people.
The neat and dense Qiang cavalry launched assault tactics.
The loose military formation was surrounded by this neat and dense cavalry formation.
The impact was simply vulnerable.
The power of the overall concentrated attack was exerted to its limit at this moment.
The Xianbei cavalry who came forward were knocked away, stabbed, and trampled to death, one after another.

The reason why a loose military formation cannot withstand the impact of a dense and neat military formation is because the power is too dispersed.
This is the same as the reason for defeating each one.
Bu Dugen discovered that his side had made a mistake.
He did not expect that the dense formation of military formations could produce such a powerful impact.
He immediately issued a new order, and two thousand cavalry teams were sent out respectively.
The left and right flanks of Ma Chaojun were outflanked.
Each of these two thousand-man Xianbei cavalry troops held bows and arrows.
They galloped on the left and right wings of Ma Chao's army and kept firing arrows, but they did not come into close contact.
They always kept a distance from Ma Chao's army and kept going back and forth.
Initiate mounted shooting.
Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly and ordered: "Come here, send two teams of thousands of Hu cavalry to attack separately, and engage in a mounted shooting battle with these two teams of Xianbei cavalry."
"Yes, General" Two Hu Qianqi teams were sent out from the left and right wings, and they rushed down the hill.
They were extremely fast, and soon approached the two Xianbei Qianqi teams.
The two Xianbei Qianqi teams had to give up.
The attack on Ma Chao's army in the middle turned to attack the Hu Ren Qianqi.
Although Ma Chao's army suffered heavy losses, they still did not stop.
They overwhelmed the Xianbei people who were attacking from the center and headed towards the Xianbei army's main formation where Bu Dugen was located.
Bu Dugen's face was as serious as ever before.
He looked at the Han cavalry, which was still charging forward with great momentum and neat formation.
He knew that his army could not withstand this impact at all.
Not to mention that his army was not moving now, even if it charged forward, It can't be stopped either.
In desperation, Bu Dugen made a prompt decision and ordered: "Divide"
The Xianbei people reacted quickly.
After they received the order, the main army formation immediately split into two.
They dodged to the left and right sides, leaving the middle empty, trying to let Ma Chao's army escape.
Ma Chao, who was rushing at the front, saw it.
He knew that if the opponent succeeded in dodging and went around to his left and right sides, his men and horses would be attacked from both sides, and they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
The opportunity was fleeting and Ma Chao could not think about it.
He did not follow Liu Cheng's orders and moved forward.
At this time, he immediately ordered the military formation to be divided into two parts to attack the Xianbei military formation that was split into two parts.
Ma Chao's Qiang cavalry has a neat and tight formation, and the cavalry's use of spears has reached its peak.
This is its biggest advantage and reliance, but it also has shortcomings, that is, once it speeds up, it is not so easy to turn. .
Although Ma Chao reacted quickly, the Qiang cavalry split into two parts to attack the Xianbei army a little late.
When Ma Chao's army came into contact with the Xianbei people, they had already impacted the rear of the opponent, allowing its front and middle parts to dodge.
Come on.
Bu Dugen did not give up the opportunity to flank Ma Chao's army.
He immediately shouted and led his Xianbei cavalry to attack the rear of Ma Chao's army.
Part of Ma Chao's army was surrounded and lost their speed.
They could only abandon their spears and draw their swords to fight.
However, this time It's not their specialty, but under such circumstances, they can only use this trick to save their lives.
Liu Cheng, who was standing on horseback on the hill, saw this and issued another order: "Yan Xing, lead three thousand people to attack Bu Dugen's main formation."
"Get the order" Yan Xing took the order and left.
Liu Cheng continued to give the order: "Herald, give the order to Ma Chao with the sound of drums and flags, asking him to assemble his troops to turn around and cooperate with Yan Xingjun to attack Yang Ding.
I will give you three thousand troops to go around from the left wing and attack the Xianbei army from east to west.
Surround the Xianbei people in the middle and don't let anyone escape."

"Yes" Yang Ding took the order again and left.
"Wang Shuang, I give you three thousand men and horses.
You lead these troops and horses around the battlefield.
If the Xianbei people break out from the encirclement, you are responsible for intercepting and entangling them, preventing them from breaking out, and waiting for the following men and horses to catch up and continue. siege" "Yes," Wang Shuang agreed, clasping his fists and taking away another three thousand people.
As Liu Cheng issued a series of orders, soldiers and horses continued to attack.
Only a small half of the soldiers and horses left with Liu Cheng were left.
Most of the soldiers and horses were sent out, but these troops and horses that attacked were enough to defeat Liu Cheng.
The Xianbei people surrounded the lake and carried out siege.
Bu Dugen also knew that the situation was not conducive to him.
When he surrounded Ma Chaojun's tail and prepared to annihilate him, he did not know that Liu Cheng had already issued a series of orders.
When Yan Xing's soldiers and horses rushed over, he attacked Ma Chaojun's tail.
The siege suddenly collapsed, and he had to deal with Yan Xingjun's attack with all his strength.
Ma Chao was gathering his troops, reorganizing his formation, turning around and charging towards the Xianbei people again.
At this time, Bu Dugen realized that he was being attacked from both sides.
He realized that something was wrong and immediately decided to break out to the east, because now there were only no soldiers and horses in the east, and the North Sea was in the west.
"Follow me to break out of the encirclement!"
Bu Dugen shouted.
He took the lead and abandoned the Han army and rushed to the east.
However, Bu Dugen's reaction was a moment too slow.
Yang Ding had already led 3,000 people to press forward, blocking the passage for the Xianbei people to break out.
The densely packed Han soldiers held bows and arrows and kept firing arrows at the Xianbei people.
When the Xianbei people rushed close, they immediately drew their swords and rushed forward to fight with the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people did not run fast, their formation was not tight and neat enough, and they failed to form a strong impact force.
They were blocked back the first time they broke through.
The Xianbei people lost their speed.
Once the cavalry lost their speed, it would be a fatal danger.
As the Han army continued to squeeze into the encirclement, the Xianbei people's space for movement became smaller and smaller, and the horses even became a burden and an obstacle to movement.
At this moment, Bu Dugen even hated these war horses.
Without these war horses, they would be more effective than they are now using foot combat.
The Han cavalry in the front row of the encirclement continued to attack the Xianbei cavalry with spears, but the Xianbei cavalry could only use short scimitars to block and slash, and only a few Xianbei cavalry had spears.
The Xianbei cavalry who were surrounded in the middle had no way to escape and were forced into a desperate situation.
In order to survive, they were so anxious that they jumped over the wall.
Many people jumped from their horses and rushed towards the Han soldiers.
The two sides hugged each other and fought. , biting, hands, feet and mouth became murder weapons.
Liu Cheng looked at this situation, waved his hand, and thousands of troops attacked again.
They flew down from the hills and began to fire arrows at the Xianbei people inside the circle from the outside of the circle.
Wave after wave of arrows shot at the Xianbei people without stopping.
The Xianbei people fell down one after another after being hit by the arrows.
The war horses were so close to each other that there was no gap.
The bodies of the Xianbei people could not fall down.
They died like this.
On horseback, a large number of horses were killed by arrows.
The positions vacated by the fallen war horses and Xianbei men were quickly occupied by other Xianbei men and war horses, and they were shot again, so that the corpses piled higher and higher.
Bu Dugen's whole body was stained red with blood.
He had a ferocious face and waved his scimitar crazily, but he didn't hit anyone.

Ma Chao, who was squeezed among the soldiers and could not move forward or retreat, had to pick up his bow and arrow, aim at Bu Dugen and shoot out.
The arrow shot into Bu Dugen's chest and penetrated out from the back.
As soon as Bu Dugen's movements slowed down, a Han soldier boldly rode forward and chopped off his head with a sword
