Yang Yifei turned around and saw this effect, and secretly sighed that shooting people first, shooting horses first, capturing thieves first, capturing kings first, the ancients really did not deceive me. The experiences summarized by predecessors really made sense.

He sighed, then set off his bow and arrow, and shot an enemy horse with one arrow, hitting the horse's head.

"Ahhhh...bastard..." General Di Rong, who was rushing slightly back, watched his war horses fall into pieces, his eyes burst into pieces, and he wanted to reach the enemy in an instant, biting the flesh on the other party's body one by one to relieve his anger.

As expected, the round shield was white, not only did it fail to achieve a defensive effect, but it caused greater losses to our side, but it also strengthened their belief that they would eliminate the archers at all costs.

During this pursuit, Di Rong's casualties continued to increase. When each of the two thousand archers shot twenty-one or two arrows in total, he felt that his arms began to become weak and his hit rate was getting lower and lower, Di Rong's cavalry had already lost nearly six thousand cavalry again.

However, the archers were more stable. They all knew that Li Xin's army was not far ahead. After estimating the distance, it was probably less than two miles left. The scout should have brought the battle back. The one waiting for Di Rong's cavalry in front was probably a shield formation that was ready for battle.

The shield formation of the Qin Dynasty was not like Di Rong. It used a round shield to form a turtle shell to defend. The round shield was a one-handed shield, which could only be supported by the power of the forearm and elbow. It was not very advantageous when facing the impact of the enemy cavalry.

Moreover, the round shield is just a wooden shield, and it is barely OK to block the bow and arrow. It is hard to say whether it can be blocked when the two-meter-long spear was charged by the Iron Cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. The bigger possibility is that it will disperse as soon as it hits.

But the shield of the Great Qin infantrymen was nearly one-person tall, and could reach the chest of the soldiers, paused to the ground, and pressed against the shoulders. That was a shield wall. The spearman then stabbed the spear out of the gap between the shield wall, forming a thorny jungle that harvested life.

Moreover, they do not resist the cavalry but do not take it hard. When the enemy cavalry rushed over, they will tilt the shield slightly, forming a slope with a very large slope.

In this way, if there is an enemy who is lucky enough to avoid the first round of spear stabbing, its war horse will instinctively run up the tilted shield wall. Because the slope is too large, the war horse will naturally not be able to run up. The only result is to overturn backwards and then smash the robe behind it.

This is what is the current era, and the changes in infantry battle formations are not as rich as those in the Three Kingdoms in later generations. Otherwise, if a Bagua formation is set up, ten thousand people will eat 30,000 to 50,000 people will be a matter of sprinkling water.

Unfortunately, Yang Yifei had no research on the battle formation. He knew that there would be various battle formations such as Xuanxiang formation, Yuli formation, Fish scale formation, Bagua formation, Eight Gate Golden Lock formation, One-character long snake formation, Goose-shaped formation, Star-Scale formation, Kuyue formation, Six Flower formation and other battle formations in later generations.

He probably knew how to put some formations and what it was useful, but he could only put out the dead formation, but he knew nothing about the operation and changes of the formation, so that he did not work hard on this, so as not to backfire.

But there is no need to think about it so much. No matter how you fight, as long as you can win a battle, he only needs to study how to try to reduce casualties on his own side.

...

The archers finally exhausted their strength. Except for Yang Yifei and a few people with extraordinary arm strength, they were basically unable to shoot the bow.

But now they don’t need to do anything. If they can’t shoot, they won’t shoot. They just leave the remaining battle to their robes. Next, they just need to rest well and wait to reap military merits on the way.

The Di Rong cavalry also felt the powerlessness of the archers, and the endless aggrievance and anger in their hearts began to fade slowly, replaced by excitement.

No, the enemy finally can't do it, shoot! Keep shooting! Why don't you shoot? Can't shoot? Let's see how you die this time.

The Di Rong cavalry found that the enemy no longer shot arrows and howled one by one. They raised their swords to their heads and waved them, screaming and urging their horses to death, vowing to chase after them and kill the two thousand archers.

After running nearly two miles, a mountainous mound appeared in front of Yang Yifei. The mound was not high, with a gentle slope, but long enough to block the view, making people unable to see the scene behind the mound.

Yang Yifei thought to himself that this place is an excellent ambush place in a relatively flat terrain and without any mountainous environment. If he were Li Xin, he would definitely be lined up behind the mound.

Sure enough, when the archers rushed to the highest point of the mound and began to run down, they immediately saw the Qin army array waiting for the heavy battle behind the mound.

"Hahahahahahahahaha..."

The archers laughed, and the happier they were. Amid the rumbling horse hooves, the laughter of the archers soared into the sky. Li Xin, who was located in the central army, couldn't help but chuckle the archers' laughter and couldn't help but chuckle.

These guys did not disappoint them. He fought for half his life and had never encountered such a perfect start and such an easy victory. The Archer could almost make them achieve their merits in one battle with just one start.

Li Xin's border troops lined up more than 200 steps below the mound. After the archers rushed down the mound, they rushed to the side.

Yang Yifei was observing the Qin army's formation. To his surprise, the one at the forefront was not the Big Shield Hand, who was in the second echelon.

But at the forefront were the Daqin crossbowmen, with about 10,000. Half of them were sitting on the ground, and half were standing beside the person sitting on the ground, holding a quiver in his left hand and holding a crossbow arrow in his right hand.

In front of the person sitting on the ground, there was a crossbow that was several sizes larger than an ordinary crossbow. The crossbow's bow arm was against their feet. It was the powerful crossbow of the Qin Dynasty, also known as the Jizhang Crossbow.

The Di Rong cavalry was eighty or ninety steps behind the archers. When the archers rushed towards the side of the Qin army array, the figures of the Di Rong cavalry also appeared on the mound.

Their excited expressions quickly solidified on their faces, and they were stunned for a few breaths, then slowly turned into fear and finally despair.

At this time, they were in a state of galloping and could not stop at all. The brothers behind could not see the situation ahead and were still desperately urging the horse to run. If they pulled the horse at this time, it would not only be invalid, but would instead trample on each other. This place was the burial place of their remaining nine thousand cavalrymen.

The Qin army chose the position of the formation of the position, which caught them off guard and crashed into this trap of death without life.

The only way they can now be to run to the wings, then go around in an arc, and complete the turn and escape.

Because the horse speed was too fast at this time, it was impossible to turn around at a small angle. I just don’t know how many robes would be broken under the arrow of the Qin crossbowman in the process of turning around.

"Control...Control...Control..."

The general's orders sounded from the Qin army's crossbowmen array, and the soldiers who heard the orders shouted loudly, one after another, causing the orders to be transmitted throughout the array in an instant.

"Control" means controlling the string, that is, when the Qin army engages in large army battles, the instructions are clearly introduced and very efficient, and are basically the same word.

Advance is "force", stop advance is "stop", retreat is "retreat", the entire army attacks are "attack", breaking the formation is "attack", the shield formation is "destruction", withdrawing troops is "return", etc.

Tactical adjustments and changes during the battle, as well as mastering the battle situation, rely on flag language to achieve this, which requires generals to control, because soldiers cannot understand flag language.
