In an instant, countless Hu people were thrown off their backs. However, the extremely high speed of the horse's galloping allowed Hu Qi to continue rushing forward for more than ten steps after suffering damage, and then was trampled to pieces by his comrades behind him.
Under the dense rain of arrows, the cavalry in the front kept falling, and the cavalry behind them stampeded violently. The cavalry charge was inevitably covered by the rain of arrows. Except for the white horses and the iron cavalry, all the other cavalry had experience in dodging the rain of arrows.
.
It's just that the arrow rain this time was too dense. There were 7,000 archers without any protection. More than 20,000 arrows thrown out by the three waves of arrow rain had almost covered all the riders in front of Hu Qi. It can be said that Li Jue was not as capable as him.
, this kind of covering arrow rain is enough to destroy the cavalry.
Just as Zhou Yu expected, after three waves of arrows, a large number of cavalry fell in front of the Hu people, which directly hindered the charge of the cavalry behind them.
"Huh huh huh, the cavalry can charge against the rain of arrows, isn't it because there are not enough cavalrymen falling in batches on the front?" Zhou Yu said with a sneer, "Push forward frontally, use the swords on the left and right wings, and kill these cavalry for me.
What a bunch of guys!”
The broadsword was also obtained from Liu Bei. It was somewhat different from Jiangdong's knife, but the quality was good. Zhou Yu naturally had as much as he wanted.
Anyway, Zhou Yu's idea at the beginning was to fight against the barbarians and support war with war. If he could recoup the cost, he would pay Liu Bei's bills. If he didn't make enough money for the military, he would just let it go.
Upon hearing this, Wenpin immediately ordered the Chinese troops who had landed to advance quickly, and both the left and right wings carried strong bows on their backs, drew their swords, and rushed towards the already somewhat defeated Zahu.
Zahu had nothing to deal with. He had already lost his momentum and suffered heavy losses. In addition, there was no Northern Xiongnu to suppress the formation. When the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers was high, the already chaotic formation fled back.
Seeing Zahu's collapse, Zhou Yu didn't show the slightest bit of pride on his face. While he ordered people to seal the trumpet mouth, he ordered the navy to land quickly, and changed weapons while landing. If the next battle was still with bows and arrows,
Zhou Yu promised that no one would collect his body.
The advantage of organic archers is that they can cause damage from a distance and can cause a lot of damage to cavalry charging towards them, but their disadvantages are also obvious.
The Roman short archers were so powerful. They were facing ten waves of arrows. They claimed to drown the enemy with arrows and did not give the opponent a chance to get close. However, when they encountered the Xiliang cavalry, they were restrained to death. For the archers who were established in the system,
Once bows and arrows can't solve the problem, they are doomed.
This is also the reason why the archers of the Central Plains are all used together. Melee combat is really too fragile. There are really no masters who use bows and arrows in melee combat in the Central Plains.
After the Jiangdong navy changed their spears, swords and shields, it looked like that. Of course, there were more archers who had not changed their weapons. These were gifts prepared by Zhou Yu for the Hu masters, and they all belonged to elite archers.
Having said that, after the shipbuilding technology of the South was surpassed by the North, the most capable people in the South were probably the elite archers. Who made the South water war not only jump off the ship, but also shoot the archers? Accumulated from generation to generation, the elite of the South
There are still many archers.
"General Cheng, the command will be left to you. Zhongye, take care of the left and right wings. Let's have dinner next!" Zhou Yu said to Cheng Pu and Wenpin. He was also very good at commanding the army, but a barbarian of this level could not use it at all.
Don't let him take action.
After Zhou Yu organized his troops and lined up outside the trumpet mouth, the barbarians stationed on the four sides of the coast realized that some of the barbarians stationed here gave up their original defense area without even thinking, and led their troops to kill Zhou Yu.
However, for a legion like Zhou Yu who has already formed a formation and is well prepared, these scattered barbarians rushing over are just killing people. For people like Zhou Yu, the current tactics and fueling of the barbarians have no effect.
difference.
Of course, this situation disappeared as soon as Zhou Yu officially entered the Liaodong Peninsula. On this plain, the Hu cavalry can exert its greatest combat effectiveness, and Zhou Yu's infantry will be exhausted if they are not careful. This is why Chen Xi wants to
The reason why Liaodong was left in a big hole for Zhou Yu.
"In a place like this, our disadvantage is too obvious." Wenpin frowned and said to Zhou Yu.
"That's natural, otherwise how could we get so much military supplies from Chen Zichuan." Zhou Yu shrugged and said, in this job, landing is a troublesome thing, and getting ashore into the plains is even more troublesome.
Only on such plains can the combat effectiveness of cavalry be significantly improved, and only on such plains can the disadvantages of infantry be significantly magnified.
[I don’t know what happened to Li Yan. There is no problem with Zahu going first. They must have received the news after I successfully landed and they should be gathering now. The Northern Huns will probably come later, so they have to watch Zahu now.
What’s on my mind...] Zhou Yu silently guessed the next situation.
The current battle is not so much a battle between the Han and the Hungarians, but rather a situation where Zahu is forced to play a game between the Han and the Hungarians, so Zahu's own thinking is also very important.
Wenpin showed a slightly worried look. Zahu was indeed not strong in terms of combat effectiveness, but with the Northern Huns holding the battle behind, they could fight with all their strength without reservation.
More importantly, Wenpin didn't understand why Zhou Yu only brought 7,000 navy troops ashore. You must know that the Jiangdong Army itself was mediocre, but in this case, he actually left more private soldiers of the family and more than 3,000 Jiangdong navy troops behind.
In the port, it is taboo to divide the troops in such a situation, but Zhou Yu was so unscrupulous, as if he regarded the Northern Huns in the Liaodong Peninsula as nothing.
But when he thought of this, Wenpin couldn't help but frowned. If he didn't try his best, Zhou Yu had actually brought all the outstanding generals under his command this time, but why did he have to divide his troops? Don't he know the current situation?
Zhou Yu looked calm and did not show any worry at all. Unlike Wenpin who kept guessing, Zhou Yu had strong self-confidence and could escape unscathed even if there was an accident.
Of course, if possible, Zhou Yu felt that it was better to let the Huns and Northern Huns continue to follow his pace. At least this way, they could solve the problem once and for all, and they could save a lot of time. After all, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were not slow. According to
Zhou Yu estimated that both sides might arrive in the north in a few days.
On the other side, after Zhou Yu protruded the trumpet, except for a few unclear guys who led his men stationed on defense to attack Zhou Yu and were killed, all the rest of the Karasuma people naturally gathered together from all directions and gathered together.
, prepare to wait for Zhou Yu to march to the ambush point before taking action.
Well, for cavalry, the vast plains are their most suitable ambush point, especially when the opponent is infantry.
