Facing Yan Liang who had formed a defensive formation, the best way to do it was to use cavalry to charge back and forth to consume the enemy's combat power and morale.
Now on the battlefield, there are only Zhang Liao's Yanbei Cavalry and Tai Shici's Ma Chaojing Cavalry, so naturally it is the two of them who undertake such an important task.
Therefore, when they were fifty steps away from charging to the enemy, Gao Shun and Wei Yan raised the command flags in their hands at the same time, and the heavy-armed soldiers and the Ma family's light-armored soldiers spread out at the same time, expanding the encirclement of the entire battlefield.
This makes the net denser and tighter.
At the same time, Zhang Liao and Tai Shi Ci looked at each other from afar.
Their meaning was obvious: since they are both cavalry and have similar combat capabilities, they should use Yan Liang's military strength as a bet to test the other's command and control ability.
Taishi Ci's face was more solemn than Zhang Liao's.
After joining the Ma family, he felt the strength of the affairs.
There were many good generals, powerful generals, wise generals and Confucian generals everywhere.
As for generals, there is no one who is not competitive, especially for Taishi Ci, a junior general, who wants to make a name for himself in the Ma family as soon as possible.
Also, Yan Liang's ability to block his own killing arrow with an instant reaction has seriously challenged Tai Shici's arrogance.
During the charge, the well-trained cavalry leaders began to yell at the cavalry to change formation.
Half of the riders took off the short hooks on the victory hooks, lowered their bodies, and lined up in a row.
Everyone and their companions shouted.
Half a horse's width apart; the other half took off the Yuanrong crossbow on the shoulder and kept it ten steps in front of the hand.
This is the most standard Majia-style attack formation.
First, the horse archers will slow down and shoot the first and second arrows, causing confusion to the enemy.
At this time, the horsemen will rush forward in a big way and use the strength of the Xiliang horses.
Break out into collisions and use long spears and spears to sweep and assassinate the enemy, piercing the formation in one fell swoop.
The horse archers will shoot the third and fourth arrows again, deviate to both sides, walk through two arcs, and meet the archers who broke out of the formation on the other side of the battle formation.
This was not the case with Zhang Liao's Yanbei Cavalry.
This team fought against Xianbei Karasuma many times.
Therefore, their tactics were somewhat similar to those of the aliens.
They also took off the strong bows on their shoulders, but more knights raised their sharp swords.
The entire formation does not seem to be a head-on breakthrough formation, but is intended to surround Yan Liang's circular formation, just like peeling an apple, peeling off Yan Liang's outermost shield soldiers layer by layer, revealing the delicious food inside.
Juicy pulp.
Yan Liang has 20,000 men, so this battle will be a very time-consuming one.
And being surrounded from all sides, Yan Liang had no idea of getting entangled.
His immediate reaction was to look for the weakest link among the four armies.
After just a quick sweep, Yan Liang determined that the weakest link in the encirclement was the Ma family's light armored infantry led by Wei Yan.
If faced with the infantry formations of other princes, Yan Liang would see nothing more than chickens and dogs.
However, the Ma family alone, in the weakest link in the four directions, is two levels stronger than the infantry regiments of other princes.
The Ma family infantry regiment at the back ran across the ground, with halberds and spears standing everywhere, and the formation was quite strict.
The position they chose was very clever.
On the right was Gao Shun's heavily armed soldiers, and on the left was a rolling hill.
The formation was stuck in the middle.
If you want to attack them, you can only do a frontal assault.
As if they were sure that Yuan Ying would not come out to respond, the troops behind this group did not even take precautions.
In this brief moment, Yan Liangzai took in the entire battlefield situation.
In this short moment, Taishi Ci's Ma Jia Jingqi was only thirty steps away from his circular formation: " Listen to my order, quickly change the circular formation into a cone formation, change the front team into the rear team, and use all your strength to break through from the rear."
Yan Liang was helpless with this decision.
You must know that letting the troops change their formations when a battle is about to begin will test the general's prestige and ability to lead troops.
If the two points are slightly insufficient, then the entire team will be attacked during the transformation and will most likely collapse.
However, at this time, the only way to make the formation longer and narrower is to make the frontal penetration stronger even if the safety of the flanks is sacrificed.
As for the pressure exerted by the enemies in front and on the left and right sides, the entire team will be put in danger.

Yan Liang could no longer take care of it.
More than 17,000 cavalrymen galloped forward with a majestic momentum as if the end of the world was approaching.
The whole earth shook slightly, as if an ancient giant beast was stepping on the ground.
Although Yan Liang's military order has been issued, the eyes of those shield bearers on the periphery cannot be separated from the heroic figures of the Ma family knights that are coming.
They saw that the Ma family knight had bent down.
They saw that the Ma family knights had raised their Yuanrong crossbows.
They even saw a bloodthirsty and excited smile on the Ma family knight's lips. swish swish The rain of arrows, as dense as locusts, finally showed its power.
The first wave of more than three thousand arrows covered the sky and covered the sun, piercing the air with a sharp cry.
Sergeant Yan Liang, who was changing formations, was unsurprisingly startled.
Then, he saw those arrows raining down hard towards him.
"Vertical Shield Protection" Yan Liang's voice exceeded the limit of the human voice at this moment.
However, it's too late.
At the same time, another two thousand arrows from Yan Beiqi formed a dense dark cloud in the sky, drew a curved arc in the sky, and flew over the head of Yan Liangjun's formation in an instant, and then made a sharp whistling sound like endless raindrops.
It fell down like an overwhelming force.
"ah"
"Wow" "Well" Various screams came continuously from around Yan Liang.
The Jizhou soldiers who lacked the protection of shields during the change of formation fell to the ground wailing in the baptism of arrows.
Some were shot through the throat and died directly, while others were shot through.
Some people were shot in the chest and dying, and some people were shot in the thigh, and the blood flow continued and they were wailing.
"Hold on!"
Yan Liang shouted loudly.
In such critical moments, the performance of the general is the most important.
Will be the courage of soldiers However, just as Yan Liang finished speaking, there was a muffled sound.
Yan Liang felt his right arm shake.
A sharp arrow shot through his wooden iron-clad round shield, revealing a cold arrow downwards.
Yan Liang Being used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart: He saw the general of the Ma family's fine cavalry retracting the bow and arrow in his hand and drawing out the two halberds from his back.
Yan Liang was certain that the first arrow he blocked with his sword was caused by this person.
He even knew that that person was Taishi Ci who left a deep scar on his thigh in Puyang.
When enemies meet, they become extremely jealous What's more, that guy Taishi Ci also made a provocation to shoot an arrow and invite a battle.
If it were normal, Yan Liang would have charged up and had a fight with Tai Shi Ci.
However, this time was not the time for his men to achieve a great victory in pursuit.
At this time, his identity as a commander was far more important than his identity as a general.
Therefore, Yan Liang bit his lips helplessly and shouted: "You are all pigs.
Jizhou's bows and crossbows are the best in the world, so you don't know how to change the formation."
Counterattack against the enemy" After all, it was Yan Liang's elite.
As soon as he finished speaking, those Jizhou elites who had reacted slowed down their formation changes, pulled off their big crossbows, and launched a counterattack against the Majia Jingqi and Yanbei cavalry.
Shoot the man first, shoot the horse These elites naturally knew this simple truth, not to mention that the cavalry had already rushed forward, so there was no need for them to shoot upwards. swish swish Haloxylon ammodendron The second round of arrow rain was a combination of Jizhou's powerful crossbows and the Ma family's arrow rain.
Many arrows even collided in the air, deviating from the normal shooting trajectory.
Driven by the strong force, they shot at our own army and in all directions.
This time, it really hit home.
This time, the blood really flowed like a river The fallen horses hindered the charge for a moment.
However, more Ma family elite cavalry and Yanbei cavalry had already rushed to the front of Yan Liang's army formation.
Their majestic and fierce charging momentum was like a sharp sword without regrets, ruthlessly Pierce into Yan Liang's army formation:
