    When the large-scale Han army formation slowly advanced to a few miles away from the Huns' outer camps.  Gao Yang, who looked indifferent, waved his hand.  "Dismount!" Following Gao Shun's order, the hundreds of selected officers and soldiers who had been trapped in the camp, who had been following Gao Yang on horseback, turned over and dismounted under the leadership of Gao Shun.  Immediately, tens of thousands of cavalry dismounted like turbulent waves following the orders one after another.  Suddenly, the loud sound of various metals clashing spread across the entire grassland.  ¡°Hiss~~~¡± Looking at the grand scene of thousands of people dismounting in the distance, the anxious Liu Bao couldn¡¯t help but take a breath of cold air.  The combat effectiveness of the Han army will not be weakened much after it is dismounted, because the Han army originally started with infantry.  But if the Huns had dismounted, they would have been doomed.  In this era, the saying that 'one man is worth five barbarians' is not a legend.  This scene was so shocking that countless Huns herdsmen who had never seen the world were stunned and trembling.  "Click, click." Gao Yang, who pinched his fingers casually, said calmly, "Let's begin." "Here!!!" Many generals behind Gao Yang responded in unison.  These tough military generals did not waste their youth and lives in internal strife. Gao Yang gave them a great opportunity to conquer foreign tribes and leave their names in history!  "A man is as strong as a black bear, with long beard and hair, and a face that can definitely make a child cry at night. Even the armor on his body is obviously several sizes larger than that of the surrounding soldiers.  The peerless general, holding a pair of iron halberds in both hands, stood at the forefront of the trapped camp.  This fierce general is Dian Wei, who can chase tigers across ravines. Cao Cao calls him "the evil from ancient times."  ¡¯ Dian Wei was born into a poor family, and his family had never produced a single educated person.  He is a real common man.  He himself has no nickname at all, which is enough to show his low background.  The reason why he is able to stand here is naturally because Gao Yang specially searched for him.  The extremely brave Dian Wei was found by Gao Yang from Ningling County, Shangqiu.  Although Prime Minister Cao went to the Western Regions, Gao Yang, a fierce general like Dian Wei Xu Zhu, would not let them waste their lives buried in the vast sea of ??people.  For a strong general like Dian Wei Xu Zhu who came from a poor background, Gao Yang's kindness of knowing and meeting him was definitely a type that could not be repaid.  Therefore, when they set foot on the battlefield, they naturally fought to the death!  There was a clang of battle armor.  Dian Wei didn't even need to look back to know that Xu Zhu, a fierce man who was almost the same as himself, must have come over.  As expected, Xu Zhu, whose stature was almost the same as Dian Wei's, came to Dian Wei's side with heavy steps.  Holding a long-handled sword in his hand, his sturdy face was full of excitement, and he said with indescribable excitement in his voice, "Today is a good time for us to serve the Lord Taiwei!" Dian Weihe said  Xu Zhu also came from a poor background, but they were recruited into the army by Gao Yang himself.  And as soon as he entered the military camp, he entered the trapped camp, which was known as the strongest in the world, and became a military commander who could command an army in other legions.  This kind of thing is like a dream in this era for people of their background.  One of the most striking features of the clan era is that the upward path of ordinary people is completely controlled by the clans.  Ordinary people don't have any chance of rising to the top.  Unless the inherent power is broken, such as the world is in chaos!  Gao Yang himself is the strongest general in the world and does not need to use these two powerful generals as bodyguards like Prime Minister Cao.  Therefore, they come to the front line where they can best demonstrate their value.  "Not bad." Dian Wei nodded vigorously when he heard this, shaking the heavy halberds in his hands.  He responded loudly, "We shall die for the Lord Taiwei!" Because they were also recruited by Gao Yang's name, and the treatment was the same.  As a martial artist, it is natural for me to feel comparison.  The two men had fought many times in private, but neither could do anything to the other.  As they fought, a feeling of sympathy and mutual admiration arose.  The bugle sounded again, and the huge military formation began to slowly assemble.  With the trapped camp as the leader, they were followed by over 10,000 infantry cavalry armed with serial crossbows.  Once these cavalry put away their crossbows and drew their sabers, they became elite infantry, capable of both long-distance and close-range attacks.  He had an absolute advantage against the Huns wearing leather armor.  Behind this wave of military formation is another phalanx of ten thousand people following.  As for other Han soldiers and horses, they were blocking the battlefield.  Gao Yang believed that these two 10,000-person legions were enough to end the battle.  The military drums played with clear rhythm, and a large number of Han army sergeants followed the rhythm of the military drums.  Under the command of many grassroots officers, they maintained their formation and marched towards the Huns with heavy steps.  "Array up, form up! Raise your bows!" Looking at the Han army soldiers and horses getting closer and closer, the Xiongnu nobles were also anxious.  They waved their riding whips desperately and shouted at their subordinates to come forward and challenge them.  In the hearts of these peopleKnow clearly.  Once defeated, what will happen to them!  The Han cavalry were wearing battle armor and holding weapons in their hands.  Although they look very heavy, these objects made of modern space-time alloy materials are actually much lighter than real metals.  Even if you are walking on a muddy river beach, you will not get stuck due to the weight and cannot walk.  Of course.  Difficulty is a given.  Liu Bao breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the originally neat ranks of the Han troops turned into chaos after entering the muddy ground.  Before, the Han army's military formation came over with great momentum. The huge pressure could not be understood unless faced directly.  Fortunately, the muddy land on the river beach is still useful.  "Get ready. When they enter the range of the bow and arrow, shoot them to death! Don't be stingy with arrows, use them all!" Liu Bao, who was nervous, shouted loudly to the Hun nobles surrounding him.  It's time to take out all the things we've been hiding in the past!  By plundering southward, the Huns captured a lot of good things made by Han craftsmen and traded with profiteers in the Han region.  For example, iron bows and arrows, which are very rare on the grasslands, are one of the most important ones.  Liu Bao¡¯s words naturally had an effect.  The nobles of each tribe knew what the situation was like. No one dared to hide their secrets anymore, and everything that could be used was taken out.  Just when Liu Bao was happily preparing to watch the Han army trudging forward in the mud enter the attack circle, it was covered by a rain of arrows from the sky.  But he was shocked to find that after a loud sound of military bugles, all the Han troops stopped.  In addition to the hundreds of elites trapped in the camp in front, more than 10,000 Han cavalry armed with serial crossbows followed the sound of the bugle and raised their serial crossbows!  It was only then that Liu Bao, whose eyes were widened to the extreme, suddenly remembered.  When the Han cavalry harassed them a few days ago, they also used crossbows, and the range was super long!  "Impossible!" Liu Bao was dumbfounded as a large dark cloud suddenly appeared over the huge military formation opposite!  He murmured to himself in disbelief, "Where did the Han Dynasty get so many hard crossbows?! How is this possible!" Just like those ships that suddenly appeared on the northern grasslands.  Liu Bao couldn't accept that so many Han soldiers were all using extremely expensive hard crossbows.  But the facts are the facts.  When the overwhelming rain of arrows hit the Huns array that was originally preparing to kill the Han army, the Huns array, which was essentially just herdsmen, was about to collapse immediately.  "Don't move! Don't move!!" Knowing that once the military formation collapsed, it would be absolutely impossible to regroup again, Liu Bao suppressed the panic in his heart and fiercely maintained the military formation by waving the long knife in his hand.  The nobles in the rear of the army also knew the seriousness of the situation, and they all came forward with their own guards to suppress them severely.  How long can the military formation maintained by sharp blades be sustained under the baptism of waves of dense arrow rain?  Liu Bao didn't know. What he knew was that if they didn't respond, they would be completely ruined.  "Charge over!" The ferocious-looking Liu Bao waved his wrist and severed the head of a fleeing herdsman, viciously issuing a brand new order.  Under the instigation of the Xiongnu nobles and the force of the cold and shining swords, more than 40,000 Xiongnu herdsmen were driven like a raging tide in chaos and formation, and rushed towards the opposite Han army who kept shooting them.  Array.  "Interesting." Seeing the Huns rushing towards the Huns in chaos, Gao Yang raised his hand to pinch his chin and chuckled.  I¡¯m afraid the Huns who played such a large-scale infantry charge have never appeared before.  What threat could the Huns pose if they lost their horses?  You must know that the first array sent by Gao Yang are all elites wearing alloy armor he brought from modern time and space.  The armor on their bodies cannot be broken through by the crude weapons in the hands of the Huns.  As the drums and bugles continued to sound, the Han army's second array of ten thousand soldiers paused.  After a metallic sound, they all raised the crossbows in their hands.  "The first formation of the trapped camp and the tens of thousands of troops put away their serial crossbows.  Pull out your shield and draw your weapon.  Man against man, shield against shield.  Quickly form a tight formation to prepare for the oncoming tide.  The shields they used were not the cavalry bucklers originally provided to them.  Instead, Gao Yang specially took out a large number of swallow-tailed kite shields made of high-strength nylon from the storage space last night.  The prototype of this shield is the knight's shield used during the Crusades.  According to Gao Yang's request, the experts of modern time and space designed and manufactured a wider model specifically for heavy infantrymen like the trapped camp.??More sturdier, new equipment used to replace the rectangular infantry shield.  This kind of shield with a pointed upper part and a curved lower part is very suitable for defensive use.  The pointed lower part can be inserted into the ground with force, and with the help of manpower and the support of its own support frame, it can even withstand javelin attacks.  The storage space in Gaoyang is full of spare parts.  I didn't expect it to be useful at this time.  Because these heavy-duty shields are made of high-strength nylon, they are not heavy in weight and can be carried by a single soldier.  When these new shields are put together to form a terrifying shield wall.  Those Huns herdsmen who had been completely overwhelmed by the huge charge had no choice but to brave the rain of arrows flying in the sky and crash into these shields in despair!  (To be continued)
