In fact, Liu Feng's side was not very relaxed. After all, the Zhenguo Army was not a miscellaneous army, but a real elite force. They were all elite soldiers fighting in the Southern Yi, well-equipped and rich combat experience.

The spearmen are only equivalent to basic troops in the system. They are not elite like the Baili Soldier. The killer shield wall is a bit similar to the Roman shield formation. It has power, but it is not invincible. If the opponent's weapons pass through the gap, it will also die. The number of casualties is smaller than that of the Zhenguo Army, but it is not much different.

There are two reasons why the troops invested by the two sides were suppressed: one was not desperate enough. Of course, this is compared with the Black Armor Army.

No matter how elite soldiers are, they will be suppressed when facing such a dead soldier. No matter what happens on the battlefield, sometimes those who are not afraid of death do not die in battle, but those who are afraid of death will die first.

The second is that there is no good way to deal with the shield formation composed of spear soldiers. The Zhenguo Army has been fighting against the Southern Yi for many years. The Yi tribes rushed up in a swarm when fighting, and they would not form a battle formation to fight the enemy at all. If it were the first time for the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army to encounter such a shield formation, the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army naturally had no experience in dealing with it.

In order to completely retain the Zhenguo Army that invaded Tangyuan Mansion, Liu Feng was not careless and directly advanced to the seventh-rank official position. He chose the military officer and lieutenant who could increase the attacking power of the troops. The commander's value was increased to three points, and the upper limit of his recruitment of system soldiers was increased to 75,000.

After the maximum number of troops was increased, Liu Feng immediately spent 13,000 to replenish the original two thousand spearmen to 15,000. As the main force of the army, the original three thousand crossbow soldiers were replenished to 5,000, and with the Bai Li soldiers, a total of nearly 23,000 troops were.

As for those auxiliary soldiers, Liu Feng, who had no power, did not have any advantage over the Zhenguo Army, which had 30,000 troops, this force was not an advantage, but this was nothing. As long as he had a meritorious point, he could summon soldiers at any time.

This is also one of the confidences of Liu Feng's courage to fight against the Zhenguo Army. As long as he is not swallowed by the other party in one breath, he will be invincible.

The shield wall suppression continued. Liu Feng didn't know how many casualties were in the Zhenguo Army, but the casualties of the spearmen were almost approaching 2,000.

If it is an ordinary army, such casualties will be enough to lead to defeat. However, for the system soldiers, even if they fight to the last one, one soldier will not have such a situation.

Looking down from a high place, you can see that the speed of the pikes and shield formation is constantly increasing. It can be seen that the morale of the front army of Zhenguo Army has reached the verge of collapse.

At this moment, a light cavalry of about 2,000 people suddenly appeared on the right side of the battlefield.

This was a reinforcement sent by Li Guan. This was a archer and cavalry. After arriving on the right side of the spearman formation, it immediately shot a rain of arrows towards the central position.

The arrows were densely packed like rain. Although there were shields blocking them, they still caused a lot of casualties. The shield array was not airtight. In addition, so many people stood together in a dense manner. As long as the arrows were caught along the gap, they could hit the people below.

In this case, several commanders of the former army were helpless. If they wanted to maintain the shield wall, their formation could not be messed up. However, the other party was a cavalry, so it was unrealistic to send people to fight and could not catch up at all, so they could only passively shoot.

The emergence of this cavalry was like injecting a heart-boosting agent, which immediately restored some morale to the front army of Zhenguo Army.

When Liu Feng, who was in the central army, saw this scene, there was no good idea. After thinking about it, he ordered the messenger beside him: "Let the crossbow soldiers go up and shoot!"

He had too few troops in his hand. Although he had a cavalry of thousands of people, the formation time was too short and he had not yet formed combat power. When he went up, he would only be flying kites. The crossbow soldiers were different. They were all attacked from a long range. Who was afraid of whom? Even if those light cavalry dared to rush up, the spearmen next to him were not vegetarians.

The crossbow soldiers behind quickly rushed up and set up their formation, and then they began to line up to fire crossbow arrows. The range of the yellow crossbows was good and powerful. In addition, the number of crossbow soldiers far exceeded that of the light cavalry. After a few rounds of shooting, the light cavalry of the Zhenguo Army was defeated and had to retreat first.

At the same time, the morale that the front army finally raised was immediately restored to its original form.

"No, the front army cannot fight anymore. Other troops must be sent to replace the front army. Generally, if the casualties rate reaches 10%, there will be a defeat. Now the casualties of the front army have exceeded 20%. If other troops are not sent to replace them, a major defeat will be caused and it will hit the central army. If Liu thief takes the opportunity to suppress the entire army, we will be done."

In a certain battalion of the central army, Yang Zong hurriedly found Liu Hong in front of the team and said.

"I'll go find the second prince right away."

Liu Hong suddenly tied the reins, turned his horse's head and rushed towards the direction where Li Jun was. Not long after, the central army's flag suddenly began to move to the left.

"What's going on?"

When Yang Zong saw this scene, he looked puzzled. Did the second prince plan to lead his troops to help? But it was obvious that the direction of the star was moving was not right.

"Quick, the whole camp follows the direction of His Highness's Chronicle."

Liu Hong shouted loudly while riding his horse back.

"Captain, what's going on?"

Yang Zong asked, looking at Liu Hong who was running back here.

"Hey, the second prince doesn't listen to me at all, but wants to retreat."

Liu Hong said a little angry.

Yang Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Retreat? How to retreat? Where to retreat? Do you want the front army?"

This order is not in line with common sense. Now that it has reached this level, how can you retreat if you want to? If you are not careful, it will lead to a great defeat in the entire army. What is the second prince thinking?

Liu Hong shook his head, "I don't know where to retreat. In short, while the front army has not yet been defeated, please leave quickly, otherwise you will not be able to leave first."

Yang Zong sighed in his heart and followed the team in depressed mood.

After seeing the central army's flag quickly away to the left, the front army, which had already reached its limit, immediately collapsed. The soldiers turned around and fled in all directions, and even trampled on them.

"I'm winning?"

Liu Feng was stunned when he saw this scene. Why did the other party retreat? I haven't started to exert force yet.

However, this was a good thing for him, so he immediately sent a thousand-man cavalry to pursue him.

Soon, a thousand cavalrymen appeared on the battlefield, chasing six or seven thousand infantrymen. The number of fleeing infantry was obviously six or seven times higher than that of the cavalry behind them, but they did not resist at all, and they only focused on throwing their helmets and abandoning their armor to escape.
