Then Hao Yun, full of hope, heard the officer behind him shouting in a hoarse voice: "Retreat to the end of the first row! The third row is forward! Stay in the middle!"

Hao Yun immediately withdrew his arms, held the spear up in front of his chest, turned his body to the right, and retreated to the back with his body sideways. The soldiers in the third row walked up the front line from the left in the same posture.

Hao Yun had just stood still, and Hao Ping'an also turned back to the third row. He tried his best to breathe with his spear. It can be seen that he really has no strength!

Seeing that Hao Ping'an had nothing to do, Hao Yun looked up over his companion and looked not far away. In the meantime, the Han army flag team had already rushed to a place more than ten steps away.

The positions of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner were very smooth. Dozens of teams intersected, without any confusion. The newly arrived Qing army slapped on the edge of the wind like a huge wave. The spearmen who had just walked up to the front row pierced out the spear fiercely, blocking the huge wave outside the square formation.

Several Han flag soldiers rushing in front were stabbed by dense guns and screamed loudly! They were then trampled by their companions and lost their voices!

Then there was a series of dull collisions! The gun rod hit the gun rod, the spear stabbed the cowhide shield, and the sword made a sound of the sound of the spear tip!

Hao Yun pulled Hao Ping'an and said, "Brother, hold on!"

Hao Ping'an said desperately: "Brother, when will our formation be rotated? I can't support it anymore!"

Hao Yun shook his head, stood in his position and stretched out his spear to protect his companions in the second row. Hao Ping'an also stood firm and gritted his teeth and handed the spear out.

Normally, every time the enemy rotates, after ensuring that the first row of square formation personnel crosses the front line, the entire square formation will retreat to the second line. Then the second line of square formation takes over the front line.

But the rotation speed of the Qing army was so fast! They took advantage of their number of people to put huge pressure on the left wing! Therefore, they could not perform large-scale square array rotation, and could only perform small batches of soldiers. This is difficult for the outer square array soldiers! Because they have been staying on the front line for too long and their physical strength is about to be exhausted!

But they couldn't retreat at this time! Because they were stuck with the Qing army

Together, if they retreat, they will only lead the Qing army into the square formation, which is quite unfavorable to defense!

At this time, Abatai was very proud! He said to the officers around him: "Did you see? The left wing of the Ming army can't hold on for long! The men rushed to the top twice, and they will collapse! At that time, as long as they drive them to attack the entire square, they will collapse at least half of them! At that time, we will surround them in the east and north directions and let them escape towards the camp. We just need to chase them along the way! At that time, we will seize the camp and Jinan City, and this time the attack on Ming will be half completed!"

When the Qing army officers around him heard what he said, they were naturally flattering! For a moment, the Qing army was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At the same time, Qi Qitao was filled with miserable mist! His left wing became very dense because of the suppression of formation. Therefore, the left wing could not perform large-scale rotations at all, and could only make small-scale adjustments.

However, the adjustment that Xiaohui had not made was a drop in the bucket for the soldiers who had been fighting on the front line for a long time! Therefore, Qi Qitao urgently needed to adjust the left wing's front line. Now that the left wing and the Qing army are stuck together, he dare not mobilize the square formation.

Because the square formation is quite fragile when moving, if someone breaks a hole, the left wing will completely collapse! You must know that continuous failures will have a great impact on the soldiers’ hearts!

Once the soldiers are heartbroken, and then they are rushed by the Qing army, the collapse of the entire square formation will be in front of them! The development can be maintained now entirely because of the soldiers' well-trained and night song discipline.

But there is no way to deal with this situation. That is, abandon some soldiers and eat some of the soldiers on the front line for the Qing army. Then, use this to turn the second-line square formation into a front line. However, this situation may even hurt morale more.

Just when Qi Qitao was helpless, suddenly, a staff officer shouted loudly: "We have reinforcements here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, and indeed reinforcements appeared behind him! It seemed that they were rushing from the direction of the camp! After careful look, it was Ma Junlin who led the cavalry team to come! They were rushing towards the Qing army besieging the left wing as fast as possible!

Inspiring the heart

He was ecstatic and sad! He knew that the left wing was saved this time, but he also knew that these cavalry might be trapped in the formation!

Last time, he left the enemy and went around in a big circle, and returned to Jinan City from the south. So no one knew that there was such a cavalry unit in Jinan City.

Ma Junlin came so timely because he went to Jinan City to replenish supplies. Because the horse materials carried by the team had already eaten up, he had to come back to replenish them.

In fact, many people have a misunderstanding, that is, when cavalry wars, they usually just release the war horses and eat grass by themselves. In fact, this idea is wrong!

War horses are actually very delicate animals. Once they are not well raised, they will lose weight, and then they will have no strength, let alone war! Therefore, horse materials account for a large proportion of military supplies.

And the old saying goes, "There is no night grass but not fat". War horses usually have to feed them essential materials, and even eggs, so that they can ensure their combat effectiveness. More than 10,000 cavalry have been wandering outside for a long time, and only Jinan City can provide them with enough food and forage. So Ma Junlin left the Qing army and returned to Jinan.

Moreover, Qi Qitao gave him the order to fight freely, so he knew that when Qi Qitao was fighting the Qing army, Ma Junlin decided to go back to the battlefield to see if there were any cheap ones to pick up?

As a result, he found that Qi Qitao was in crisis. So Ma Junlin and the officers briefly discussed it and rushed out to rescue Qi Qitao.

Abatai also saw the appearance of this cavalry at this time. He sneered and said, "I had known that there was a Ming cavalry moving outside. Do you think I would forget it?"

After saying that, he ordered people to shake the flag, and immediately a cavalry with the yellow flag went up to him. The cavalry had been on the edge of the battlefield for a long time. It was Abatai who stayed there to defend Ma Junlin's cavalry.

Seeing his cavalry moving, Abatai relaxed and said to the people around him: "It is said that the cavalry of the army has a strange tactic and powerful! But as long as they are not allowed to successfully form a formation, how could they be our immediate opponents!"
