After Zhou Yu made up his mind, he didn't hesitate at all. The archers of the Northern Huns rushed forward and they retreated. The archers of Jiangdong were no worse than archers. If they couldn't dodge, they would attack. Zhou Yu didn't believe it in terms of casualties. How could the Northern Huns still fight in terms of casualties?
Sure enough, after Zhou Yu withstood the Northern Xiongnu's arrows and fired several volleys, the Northern Xiongnu became extremely fearful of Zhou Yu's army in front of them. The opponent tried to inflict double the casualties and their own strength. It seemed that the Northern Xiongnu had taken a big advantage, but in fact Strategically it is clear who wins and who loses.
After several successive assaults were suppressed by the volleys of Zhou Yu's soldiers, the Northern Huns' elite cavalry became obviously a little manic due to repeated disadvantages.
But this is not a bad thing for Zhou Yu. With several consecutive attacks, Zhou Yu has been able to grasp the rhythm of cavalry combat, and the soldiers under his command have also begun to gradually adapt to the combat of the Northern Huns' elite cavalry.
The infantry from Jiangdong are indeed average, but it is not normal to be so scummy. Many reasons for the situation at the beginning were due to the lack of experience in fighting cavalry.
With Zhou Yu's tough attack, although the casualties of the archers were not small, they were obviously not as afraid of the cavalry as they were at the beginning. After all, an enemy that can be killed will not be an invincible enemy.
With this awareness, under Zhou Yu's mobilization, the archers in this formation gradually performed to their due level, and it became increasingly difficult for the Northern Huns' elite cavalry to take advantage.
After successive tests, it was found that it was difficult to deal with Zhou Yu's hedgehog-like formation. The new leader of the Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry immediately turned around and attacked Karasuma, preparing to combine the previously separated forces to defeat Karasuma, and then drive Karasuma away to attack Zhou Yu. Array.
The moment the Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry turned around, Zhou Yu had already guessed what the Northern Xiongnu was thinking. However, facing a slippery opponent like the Northern Xiongnu, Zhou Yu, who led the short-legged infantry, had no good solution, especially as he You can't disperse your formation at will.
"The whole army advances." Zhou Yu looked at the Northern Huns' elite cavalry who had already entered Karasuma's charge formation from the inside, and gave this order with a solemn expression.
¡¾They are also cavalry, but there is still a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides that is difficult to erase. The strength of the Northern Huns is at least several times that of Karasuma! ¡¿Zhou Yu looked at the Northern Huns Jingqi who broke through the Karasuma formation from the inside almost instantly.
[The speed is very fast, both offensive and defensive ends are strong and balanced at the same time, and they can actually shoot from horseback, and can even shoot more powerful arrows when thrusting. The cavalry of the Northern Huns is really very powerful, look. Come on, I need to study the cavalry. ¡¿
Zhou Yu charged forward steadily while looking at the direction of the Huns cavalry and thinking about the future development direction.
While Karasuma was being held up by the Northern Huns' troops in the front, the inner side was almost cut off by the fine cavalry of the Northern Huns who turned around and attacked. The Northern Huns in the front also suddenly exerted their strength. The two cavalry quickly joined together and prepared. He defeated Karasuma in one blow.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that when the Northern Huns were about to penetrate Karasuma¡¯s military formation, Li Yan led Danyang elite soldiers to rush over and shot the Northern Huns back with strong crossbows, I¡¯m afraid Karasuma would have succeeded in the assault.
After forcing the Northern Huns back, Li Yan immediately led the Danyang elite soldiers who were already in a messy formation and rushed over. If anyone was watching from the sky at this moment, they would find that under the leadership of Li Yan, every step of the Danyang soldiers was natural. Move towards the right position.
After only rushing for twenty steps, the Danyang soldiers, under the command of Li Yan, had already formed an attack formation in groups of five or six, and the clouds in the sky also changed in density. A group of blessings has different effects.
Just like each elite military unit has its own unique attributes, the Danyang soldiers who have been famous in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years also have their own unique elite talents.
The only elite talent of Danyang soldiers is to strengthen their organization. To put it another way, Danyang soldiers are naturally easy to command, or in other words, Danyang soldiers can fight without a commander.
Li Yan¡¯s legion talent allows the soldiers to understand their orders more clearly and strengthens the dispatch of the soldiers.
As I said before, it depends on who uses this legion's talent. If it is used by people like Zhang Fei and Hua Xiong, it is actually no different. If it is used by Li Yan, it will be pretty powerful, but not invincible. The talent of the legion, and if it is used by people like Zhuge, Li You, and Jia Xu, it can basically be linked to invincibility.
Of course, this is what Li Yan had thought before, but after he led the Danyang elite soldiers, especially after turning on the legion talent, he suddenly found that the Danyang elite soldiers with enhanced command and organizational skills combined with his legion talent were a perfect match.
This is also an important reason why Li Yan dared to pursue the Northern Huns after he shot them. The Northern Huns were forced to turn around.Seeing that Li Yan actually dared to lead the infantry to charge, he immediately rushed away from Karasuma, turned around and rushed towards Li Yan without losing speed, and the moment he turned back, he bent his bow and shot in the direction of Li Yan's infantry.
The next moment, the Danyang soldiers who were not shield soldiers retreated collectively, while those with shields naturally stepped to the forefront, tilting their shields high to block the incoming arrows while retreating.
At the same time, the archers among the Danyang soldiers naturally moved forward to shoot, while the other soldiers retreated as if they had eyes on the back of their heads to make way for the archers to shoot. The arrows fired by both sides were not many. But in terms of the results of the battle, the Danyang soldiers' arrows were surprisingly concentrated in one location.
The Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry rushed in like thunder, and the sword and shield wielders naturally pushed forward. However, the situation of Zhou Yu's formation appeared in the next moment, and the fierce charge tore through Li Yan's formation as before. An opening was opened.
Li Yan's face condensed, and he no longer had the arrogance he had when he felt that he and Danyang's soldiers were in perfect harmony. It was only natural that a dense spear array of hundreds of people formed in front of the charge of the Northern Huns.
It's a pity that although the gun formation was fierce, the Northern Huns had to break through the gun formation after nearly a hundred casualties. Then Li Yan saw that the opportunity was not good and quickly dispersed the gun formation. Fortunately, Karasuma's rear army had already seized the opportunity to bite again. The tail of the Northern Huns forced the Northern Huns to deal with it distractedly.
Li Yan immediately seized the opportunity and used skirmishers to naturally form two attacking groups with spears and archers on both sides of the charge of the Northern Huns. He spared no casualties and forcibly curbed the charging speed of the Northern Huns, while the Northern Huns Li Yan's attack finally encountered an obstacle in the passage that Li Yan naturally dispersed.
The Danyang soldiers in Li Yan's army are all sword and shield bearers without any other type. And unlike the sword and shield bearers in the front row, these sword and shield bearers have large shields and are very strong. These people They were all selected by Li Yan and prepared for the Northern Huns. (To be continued.)
