When the last word of the command was yelled out from the mouths of the officers of each team, the sound of uniform bow string firing was almost at the same time, and a rain of arrows with a strong whistling sound was like a rising dark cloud.
Rise up behind the formation and attack the incoming cavalry!
At this time, the bows and arrows on both sides passed through the air and collided fiercely. Many arrows even hit the ground directly in the air at the same time, and bursts of red mist rose up on both sides. As the distance approached, this red mist
The fog was much thicker than before, especially for the cavalry. Hundreds of horses were galloping, and the smoke pillars they raised turned red.
Thirty or forty horses stopped galloping, and the cavalry on them reluctantly withdrew from the battle. However, Liu Yu's infantry formation was sparse, with few people leaving. This steel-like formation was still standing.
Do not move.
Huan Xuan's expression changed: "What's going on? The arrows shot by both sides are almost the same. Why did the cavalry retreat so much but the infantry didn't die a few people? Is Liu Yu cheating?"
Sun Wuzhong smiled slightly: "Master Huan, please be patient. Please look carefully. Liu Yu's troops are all protected by double iron armor. Ordinary soldiers, according to the drill rules, will be judged to leave if they are hit by three arrows, but double
Iron armor can double the protection, so you will only exit if you hit six arrows!"
Huan Xuan stood up, looked intently, and murmured: "Yes, why didn't I notice this? They are really wearing double-layered iron armor. No wonder they are a little slow in drawing their bows and releasing arrows."
Huangfu Fu said calmly: "Sir, take a closer look. Only the sergeants holding spears in the front row are wearing double-layer iron armor, while the archers in the back row are still wearing single-layer mail armor. This will not affect them too much."
The speed of shooting arrows. However, this style of fighting confirmed my judgment that Liu Yu wanted to fight the cavalry hand-to-hand, rather than use bows and arrows to solve the problem."
Xie Xuan said calmly: "General Huangfu, if you were the commander of the cavalry, what would you do now?"
Huangfu Fu's eyes flashed coldly: "The ones who charged directly into the battle were light cavalry, not the main force of the Xianbei armored cavalry. When did the Xianbei people send out armored cavalry, it was really the time for a decisive victory. In order to give themselves
The armor and cavalry are all equipped to create the best opportunity for an assault. Now they will definitely ambush and attack Liu Yu from all directions, and then find the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!"
Huan Xuan frowned: "Then can Liu Yu withstand it? General Huangfu, you once followed Xian Kao and saw these terrible armored cavalry with your own eyes. With Liu Yu's formation today, can you stop them?"
A trace of deep fear suddenly flashed across Huangfu Fu's eyes: "It can't be stopped. No army in the world can stop them all. If Liu Yu doesn't form a formation today, he will definitely lose!"
Wang Miaoyin's body swayed slightly, and when she was about to speak, she only heard bursts of wild whistles in the valley. In the woods, in the grass, and behind the rocks, like ants, they suddenly ran out
Countless warriors, holding up countless flags, were all over the mountains and plains, seemingly everywhere. From the other side of the valley, hundreds of war horses rushed in. The sound of iron hooves was like thunder, and bows and arrows were like raindrops. They immediately attacked.
This infantry square three miles square in the center of the valley!
At this time, even Xie Xuan's expression changed. He stood up and turned to look at Liu Laozhi: "What's going on? Why did the shadow troops ambush in the valley in advance?"
Liu Laozhi sneered and said: "This does not violate the rules of martial arts. It does not say that the shadow troops must attack on horseback. They can dismount and ambush in the mountains and forests. Just now General Huangfu said that Liu Yu did not have enough reconnaissance in advance, so he deployed like this in the valley.
When I was in formation, I was suddenly attacked by the enemy from a high position. I was worried about this, and it turned out to be true. However, it seems that Murong Nan was quite polite and did not send archers to occupy the high place. If our position is now occupied by Murong Nan
, then Liu Yu is probably going to lose!"
Murong Nan's laughter sounded from one side: "General Liu, you can see clearly. Fortunately, it's not you I met today. Otherwise, if this place had been taken over by you, I'm afraid I would be completely passive now."
.”
The corner of Liu Laozhi's mouth curled up, and without looking at Murong Nan, who was riding a horse toward him with more than ten guards, he said calmly: "Actually, it's not that Liu Yu didn't expect this, but he is too proud.
So much so that I want to confront your cavalry in a majestic formation from the front, instead of thinking of an ambush. Murong Nan, I'm afraid you have the same idea, so you won't kill the killer in this position!"
Murong Nan wore a bronze ghost mask on his face, which made him look green-faced and fanged, like an evil ghost. Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly, looked at Murong Nan and said: "You are not commanding the battle below, but you are doing it here.
What? The scenery here is better?"
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "Although I will not ambush Liu Yu here and shoot him with arrows, but in this place, I can have a panoramic view of everything below. Liu Yu's formation, I can
Take a good look."
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "In the final analysis, this is just a martial arts exercise. If it were a real battlefield, and your men and your brothers are bleeding and dying now, would you still be here so calmly watching the battle unfold with a smile?"
Murong Nan did not respond directly, he said calmly: "My master once told me when I was young, we are born to be generals, we will be brave, and our soldiers are chessmen. Everyone fighting below is just a chess piece."
They are just my chess pieces. They have no hatred towards the people on the other side, but they have to fight to the death with the people on the other side. It’s just that I need them to do this. There are no emotions here, only victory and defeat!"
At this point, a terrifying murderous intention flashed in his eyes: "I just want to use their lives and blood to discover Liu Yu's weaknesses. I don't need to care how many people die, I just want the final victory!"
Liu Laozhi also stood up, walked to his side, and stood side by side with him, watching the fighting in the valley. Liu Yu's formation was like a rock in the stormy sea, standing still. All the soldiers, each team
They all firmly held their positions. No matter how many arrows flew out from the smoke and dust in front, the heavily armored archers standing on the front line remained firmly stationed in place. The archers at the rear decided to fight back based on the opponent's bows and arrows.
Strength.
From time to time, some Xianbei stragglers or rangers rushed out of the smoke and tried to charge into the formation, but they were shot directly by random arrows. A burst of red mist rose, and they could only retreat in frustration. They fought like this for most of an hour.
The Xianbei people injured at least 200 people and horses, but Liu Yu only retreated less than 100 people.
Murong Nan nodded: "I see, my general ordered us to launch a ten-round assault with arrows, and then all the frontline troops attacked in full, rushing into the enemy's formation to fight hand-to-hand. After the front troops entered the formation, the heavy cavalry charged, regardless of the enemy or ourselves, killing!
