After Pang Tongyi poured cold water on them, several people present managed to regain their composure.

It’s not to blame that they lost their sense of proportion and were blinded by their power. It was really Sun Ce’s actions that were too generous. If this guy doesn’t ruin the family, he really has no restraint. It’s just that he doesn’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, and he doesn’t care about his family’s foundation.

With a godfather like Yuan Shu taking care of him, he acted unscrupulously.

Tens of thousands of sets of new armors. If Yuan Shu did not secretly support it and allowed Wu to build it himself, even with the large number of craftsmen provided by Yuan Shu, it would probably take two years to come up with it.

However, everyone here is well aware of Yuan Shu's preference for Sun Ce. Otherwise, let alone Sun Ce's subordinates, even if Sun Jian came with Cheng, Huang, Hanzu and other team members, he would have no choice but to feel aggrieved in front of these three people.

of the bottom.

There is no way, Yuan Shu started his career in Jiangdong, and those people in Soochow have been wiped out by him long ago. Although he unknowingly poached many of the three here, Yuan, Cao and Liu were beyond reach.

He still has some vitality. In comparison, Sun Ce is much shabby. As "compensation", Yuan Shu will naturally provide some help to Sun Ce secretly.

"Did the Shan of the Northern Huns just activate the monarch talent?" Shen Pei, who had been controlling the overall situation, suddenly asked as he watched the offensive of the Northern Huns against Liu Bei's army.

"Well. Zhengnan, what did you find?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Maybe the Northern Huns are much more difficult to deal with than we thought!" Shen Pei said with a slightly ugly expression.

From the beginning to now, his evaluation of the Northern Huns has been growing.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is indeed a being that could compete with the Han Dynasty in the past. It is not unreasonable that it can still suppress the Kushan.

"The cavalry that was just repelled by General Yide should be the absolute elite among the opponents who are best at charging. In terms of the strength they displayed, even our subordinates are absolutely powerful. Compared with the ordinary Northern Huns light cavalry charge

The power is nearly doubled." Shen Pei said.

Through constant testing, Shen Pei also gradually figured out the strength of the Northern Huns under normal conditions.

To be fair, when it comes to cavalry alone, the personal strength and experience of the Northern Huns cavalry are far superior to our own. This is an innate advantage that cannot be compensated.

It is impossible to do archery on horseback. Horseback riding and mounted archery are almost instinctive for these people, and there is no problem sleeping on horseback.

If the weapons and equipment are the same and the same cavalry are facing each other, it would be very good if one's side can inflict 30-70 casualties compared to the opponent's cavalry.

But no matter how strong your instincts and skills are, they can't overcome the gap in equipment.

Compared to the poor Northern Huns, the cavalry equipment under Yuan Shao's command was already considered luxurious.

The wooden spear and scimitar in the opponent's hand may not be able to kill him with four or five blows against his own armor, but the sharp weapons in the hands of his own soldiers are basically fatal to the weak leather armor of the Northern Huns.

Therefore, based on the actual combat power comparison, if the two sides collided with each other, the casualty ratio would be reversed, with the Han cavalry and the Northern Xiongnu at a 70-30 ratio.

The same goes for the cavalry under Sun Ce, because their experience is really poor. They have laid the basics better than anyone else. The cavalry and shooting training has not stopped every day since joining the army. Countless arrows and a lot of meat have accumulated skills.

They can go straight to the Northern Huns, but they have experienced too few battles. Their tactics, coordination, and experience are too immature, and they can only use half of their strength.

But compared to our own cavalry, the Northern Huns cavalry has an advantage besides quantity, and that is comprehensiveness.

Just these two sets of tests are enough to show that the Northern Huns have already mastered the cavalry, charging, harassing, covering, riding and shooting, attacking... Each cavalry has its own strengths, and they can be used in conjunction with each other.

The combat power is extremely terrifying.

"After the moment just passed, the impact intensity of all the attacking legions of the Northern Huns suddenly increased. It felt like the cavalry that General Yide had stopped before. Although it was not that strong, it was at least increased by nearly half." Shen Pei looked at it.

The battle on the front line was slightly estimated.

As Shen Pei said, Chen Dao, who is on the front line, has the most obvious feeling.

Chen Dao has experienced hundreds of battles and has fought against many elite cavalry, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, although he has never won.

But this was his first time facing such a large-scale cavalry charge, which was far beyond his imagination.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were coming towards him. Although he had prepared to resist through a temporary change of formation, he still underestimated the terror. Perhaps the impact was not much stronger than that of the Subbu before, but the power of thousands of galloping horses

, even Liu Beijun, who is extremely determined, can't help but feel scared.

In just one charge, hundreds of his men were taken away. If it weren't for Liu Bei's army, they would have collapsed if they were the infantry under Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. But Chen Dao had no such worries at all, maybe Liu Bei

The infantry under his command are poor in strength, but their willpower is definitely second to none.

Relying on giant shields and spears, Liu Bei's army fought and retreated, constantly forming new lines of defense. Although the lines of defense were constantly crushed by the Northern Huns, with their tenacious will, they slowly held the opponent back again.

But just now, as Dilian's monarch talent was activated, the Northern Huns collectively felt like they were getting a beating, and the offensive that had been gradually slowing down suddenly increased again.

Liu Bei's army was caught off guard and was defeated again, breaking through four lines of defense in succession and suffering heavy losses.

Holding a long spear, Chen Dao stabbed a Northern Huns in the throat. Chen Dao wiped the blood on his face, looked at the soldiers around him who were constantly in trouble, and shouted and ordered.

"If no more reinforcements come, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on!"

Seeing that the formation that had just been stabilized was broken through again, even Chen Dao couldn't help but feel a little helpless. The intensity of the cavalry's attack in front of him had exceeded the limit that he could withstand.

A clever woman can't make a fool of herself. With the huge disparity in numbers and the superiority of cavalry against infantry, Liu Bei's army could only retreat steadily no matter how tenacious it was. The balance of the battlefield began to tilt towards the Northern Huns.

Facing the Han army's giant shields, hard bows and powerful crossbows, the Northern Huns' cavalry and shooting harassment obviously had no effect, but the mobility advantage of the cavalry on the grassland was still evident.

Tens of thousands of cavalry could easily and quickly gather together to attack Liu Bei's army. However, the Han army's infantry was passive and had to worry about the overall defense, so the speed of support was naturally far slower.

Under the cover of the legion's talent, the surroundings of Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and Cao Cao were still hazy, with a few arrows shooting out from time to time, and I don't know how many cavalry were hidden among them. Therefore, most of the external troops of the three parties still did not dare to move rashly, otherwise they would be exposed if they were exposed.

The Northern Huns will never miss the flaw, and will only become more passive. Therefore, they can only send some elites to support.

"Sure enough, when facing cavalry on the grassland, infantry is still too passive." Shen Pei said.

"The advantage of mobility allows the cavalry to advance, attack, retreat or defend, and can focus on attacking any of our points at any time. However, we are not easy to support. In addition, the Northern Huns have such a difficult legionary talent. Our army's

I’m afraid I won’t be able to display even half of my strength.”

"But half of the strength is enough." Xun Yu said.

If they didn't have absolute confidence in their hard power, how could they dare to do such a thing of confronting the Northern Huns cavalry on the grassland.

We must know that it is true that Li Ling defeated the Huns' 80,000 cavalry with 5,000 infantry, but how many such miracles have there been in history? If it were so easy to defeat the Huns' cavalry with infantry, why would the nomads always be the concern of the Han people?

Suffer.

To defeat cavalry with infantry, in addition to Li Ling himself being brave, good at generals and knowing how to fight cavalry, the elite soldiers under Li Ling's command are also indispensable.
