In the valley, on a plain, two armies faced each other with their chariots, horses and artillery arrayed.

Asafa looked solemnly at the elite army in the distance: "This is definitely not a poisonous army."

"General, look at the opponent's flag. It seems to be written by Han people. I'm afraid this is a Han army." A general suppressed the fear in his heart and said.

"Han army!" Asafa murmured, his face becoming more solemn: "The big Han is thousands of miles away from here, how did they appear here? Is it possible that Shen Du has the support of the big Han?"

"General, this Han army is well-equipped and well-organized. It is obviously an elite force. We are equal in strength to the opponent. This battle may be..."

Asafa doesn't know that the Han army is simply a representative of the devil in the hearts of the Kushan people. Not to mention that he only has 5,000 soldiers now, even if he has three times more soldiers, he would not dare to face it if there is no way out. This is

Just like the Hu people facing the Han army, their momentum has been weakened by a few points before the battle has begun. It is good to be able to exert 78% of their strength.

"No, the news of the appearance of the Han army must be reported to General Suqidi, otherwise the general will fight against Shendu without knowing it. Once the Han army appears to help Shendu, our southern part of Guishan may be annihilated.

"Asafa reacted after realizing that he was in danger.

"General, the entrance to the valley is blocked by the opponent, and there are cliffs all around with no way out. It may be difficult for the news to spread!"

"Let the messengers mix among the soldiers on both wings. Once the battle becomes stalemate, wait for an opportunity to leave the battlefield and escape from the valley mouth. Be sure to inform General Socrates of the appearance of the Han army."

"yes."

After laying out the arrangements for delivering the news, Asafa breathed a sigh of relief as if he had finished explaining the funeral arrangements, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Let me see if the legendary Han army is really that terrifying!

"

"The entire army is in formation and facing a powerful enemy. This is the time for our Sixth Army to show off its talents. If we can defeat this Han army, we will definitely become the heroes of the empire!" Asafa said loudly with glaring eyes.

.

"Yes!" All the generals shouted.

...

"The morale is good!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"The infantry of the opponent's front army are mostly heavy infantry and spearmen. It seems that they are just ordinary Kushan regiments, not the core elite. However, the quality of this army should not be underestimated!" Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"Let the crossbowmen press forward and test the opponent's quality with a few waves of arrows first." Zhou Yu ordered.

Following Zhou Yu's order, the army stopped advancing, the infantry in front of the phalanx moved to both sides, and the arrays of archers and crossbowmen in the center and front of the phalanx stepped forward one after another.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The archer array with a longer range fired a wave of arrows first.

Countless arrows were like drizzle in the face of Kushan Chongbu's shields and heavy armor, without much lethality. The Kushan soldiers who followed also had iron armor on their bodies, so the damage caused by the arrows was greatly weakened.

.

Seeing that Guishuang did not suffer much damage after the arrow rain, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly. Apart from anything else, the opponent's armor rate is indeed very high, and they are basically iron armor. The damage caused by the crossbow arrows thrown from such a distance is indeed not huge.

Ideal. But fortunately, this kind of long-range attack is in vain no matter how much it kills. The improved Dachu longbow has an extremely long range. In addition, he puts the archers at the front. After several waves of arrows, the opponent

The archers began to fight back.

"The other side did not move their archers forward to counterattack, nor did they allow their infantry to take the opportunity to pursue them. Their military formation flexibility and commander's adaptability are probably not very good," Zhuge Liang said.

"Not only that, the opponent's armor rate is not low, but their mobility is very problematic, and their marching speed is much slower than our army. What do you think will happen if I just let the archers hang on the opponent?" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

.

"It's not like the other side doesn't have cavalry. If the other side's cavalry sticks up, you might not be able to deal with it."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help but chuckled and said: "The Guishang army is only five thousand, and it is not elite. How many cavalry can there be? In addition to five hundred archers, there are thousands of crossbowmen in our army. I'm afraid there are hundreds of cavalry."

You'll be shot into a sieve before you step forward."

Zhou Yu is the adopted son of Yuan Shu, and he enjoys the treatment of his own son. Nearly half of the 5,000 Guards infantry are Danyang elite soldiers. In addition, Zhou Yu is currently training the navy to fight on the water, and archery is the basis.

It is said that the power of the crossbow array in Zhou Yu's army was basically second only to Huang Zhong's army.

Even so, Zhou Yu did not adopt such a rogue strategy. After several waves of arrows, the archers at the front of the army retreated, and the infantry holding heavy shields on both sides filled in. Rugui

The Frost Army usually forms a shield array to block the front.

The crossbowmen all stayed behind the tower shield soldiers to dodge the Kushan army's bows and arrows. The archers retreated to a safe distance and continued to bully the Kushan army's archers by relying on their range advantage.

"Charge! Charge up!" Asafa kept shouting angrily, holding a sword.

Being crushed in the range of the bow and arrow directly caused him to lose his initiative. The opponent could just sit there and consume him, but he had to attack the opponent as soon as possible to start a hand-to-hand combat.

The distance between the two armies continued to shrink. Seeing that the shield soldiers in the front row of both sides were about to collide, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed: "Fire the arrow!"

With the flag waved, the herald shouted: "Let go!"

At the command, the tower shield soldiers in front of the army who were holding giant shields took two steps back, put the giant shields in their hands on the ground, and then squatted on the spot. Behind them, the strong crossbowmen who were already ready to go were holding strong crossbows.

, aiming forward and shooting. Among them, there are another two hundred crossbowmen equipped with waist-guided crossbows, lying in two rows at the front of the crossbow formation, holding huge waist-guided crossbows, using their body arms and feet to pedal the crossbow body, preparing for the attack.

And hair.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At such a close distance, the power of the crossbow is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow, especially the powerful waist-guided crossbow. Even the thick tower shield is difficult to withstand in front of it. The shield soldiers in the front row of Shendu, who were charging neatly, suddenly fell onto their backs and became chaotic.

As a group, countless soldiers fell to the ground, suffering heavy casualties.

"Damn it! The other side actually has a large number of crossbowmen!" Asafa said bitterly when he saw the damage and chaos caused by the crossbow arrows to the front army.

After several waves of crossbow arrows, Zhou Yu saw the situation of the enemy's front troops and smiled and said: "The opponent's position is in chaos. Let the crossbowmen retreat and press forward with heavy steps. The infantry on both sides will charge to double-team the enemy's forward. Don't give the enemy any chance."

A breather.”

The torn infantry phalanx was useless. Zhou Yu concentrated his troops on the torn hole and quickly created a gap.

"kill!"

Countless Chu soldiers roared and killed the Kushan soldiers who were alone around them.
