"Yeah, it's bad enough, hahahaha!" Chen Xi also laughed, and then his face straightened, "Ready the crossbows!"
It is obvious that the commander of the mixed army of the Northern Huns and Zahu on the opposite side is a very good commander. At least he knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. For example, the riding and shooting that Zahu is proud of has no intention of showing it off at all this time.
It is obvious that the Xiliang cavalry's incredible immunity to bows and arrows has given enough reminders to the army commanders if they do not want to be accidentally tricked to death.
However, without the suppression of arrows, there are elite Danyang soldiers on the outside to resist Zahu's charge, and there are thousands of Jiangdong archers inside to shoot. This battle cannot be said to be won, but there is absolutely no problem in holding the opponent back.
"School shooting, release arrows!" Zhou Yu visually measured the speed of Zahu's attack. After crossing a certain limit, Zhou Yu immediately issued a military order, and thousands of arrows were shot towards the front in a covering manner.
Hundreds of Zahu fell directly from their horses under such dense arrows that they could not dodge at all. However, the surging Zahu army did not slow down at all and continued to surge forward like a torrent of river water.
The three waves of arrows, totaling about 20,000 arrows, immediately wiped out more than a thousand miscellaneous riders, but they still could not stop the surging forward charge.
Soon, Zahu, who was charging the hardest, rushed to the front of the Danyang Elite Soldiers, piercing the Danyang Elite Soldiers behind the big shield with his spear. However, before his spear could pierce the Danyang Elite Soldiers in front of him, the Danyang Elite Soldiers, who had almost achieved perfect coordination, had no time to make a move. The spear penetrated the horse's neck.
With a mournful cry, the war horse stood up. The war horse, which was almost about to stab the Danyang elite soldiers, was startled and fell off the horse's back. The spear immediately pierced the air, and then an arrow was shot from the side. Nailed directly through his neck.
However, at this time, countless miscellaneous men had already bumped into the Danyang elites who were defending from the front. With the fierce impact, under the blessing of this terrifying number, even if they had the ability to share strength and share the impact, many Danyang elites were also It flew out.
The moment dozens of Danyang elites were knocked away by the powerful impact, people from both sides rushed over to catch up. Soldiers from the side and rear used their spears to hold Zahu back. With tacit cooperation, they destroyed Zahu who rushed into the formation. The moment he killed, he used a large shield to block the loophole in the defense line.
It was at this time that Zhou Yu's external formation suddenly concave inward, and the line at the front of the regular hexagon directly concave into an arc. Zahu suddenly pressed down in the direction of the retreat of Danyang's elite soldiers, and the retreating In an instant, two sharp arrows suddenly formed on both sides of the concave formation. The cavalry who had been behind immediately seized the opportunity to press into the two wings of Zahu!
Zhou Yu's military formation itself was restrained before encountering Zahu. The front line of Danyang's elite soldiers was only three hundred steps long. After the retreat, the cavalry originally in the rear suddenly extended out on the left and right sides. , the enemy army that was about to be torn apart was compressed to a few hundred steps.
This distance, especially when intercepting, is not a problem for the cavalry's assault capability. The cavalry on both wings only need to rush forward one hundred and fifty steps to merge.
Although the Karasuma led by Su Puyan were miscellaneous soldiers in the eyes of the Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry and the Han army's elite cavalry, they were not so weak in the eyes of the Zahu, especially after adding Zhou Yu and Chen Xi's legionary talents. , the cavalry led by Su Puyan was obviously stronger than the opponent.
Under this kind of fighting opportunity, Su Buyan naturally did not disappoint Zhou Yu. In just a few breaths, he cut off the opponent's leading troops that rushed into the formation, and then sealed them into a hexagonal honeycomb, followed by countless arrows. The rain falls.
Different from the previous situation where he needed to calibrate his shooting and had a high chance of missing the mark, Zahu, who was enclosed in a hexagonal honeycomb, was hit by arrows from all directions almost instantly, and there was no need to aim at all. Countless miscellaneous men fell off their horses.
As for charging out, the opponent directly in front is the Danyang Elite Soldiers, and behind him is the tightly sealed Karasuma Elite Cavalry. Even if Zahu wants to turn around and rush out from the direction of the Karasuma Elite Cavalry, he will not be able to do so in a short while. Did it.
"Hey, you actually want to rescue and attack my archers from here?" Zhou Yu sneered again and again. He admitted that nine out of ten infantrymen in Jiangdong are scum, but the archers in Jiangdong are definitely no worse than elsewhere. .
"Wenpin, lead the flank to open a gap and let Zahu see the chance of victory from here!" Zhou Yu swept away Zahu who was already rushing towards the flank and immediately ordered Wenpin.
Zahu rushed towards the archers who were exposed by opening up the flank defense. As for rescue, hey, is it necessary? Defeating the enemy was the order given to them by the Northern Huns. Besides, those guys were almost surrounded and annihilated. Not from their tribe.
Just when Zahu had entered the flank charge range, Zhou Yu's main formation suddenly experienced a burst of chaos, and a wave appeared on the flank opposite Zahu.In the turmoil, Zahu Qianchang took a closer look and discovered that the guys who had thought they would be surrounded and annihilated actually rushed into the inside of the flank.
With many years of experience in leading cavalry immediately, he rushed towards the turbulent place on Zhou Yu's flank without thinking. As long as the inside and outside were combined successfully, no matter what the military formation was, there was only one way to collapse.
After all, once most military formations are penetrated, it means that the formation cannot continue to operate at that point. Unfortunately, even if Zhou Yu's military formation is penetrated, he will make up for it foreseeably.
Under the leadership of Qian Chang, Zahu's cavalry rushed into the formation almost instantly, and the archers around them had no intention of blocking them. Whether they were front or rear or left or right, they naturally gave way to a path.
Such miscellaneous cavalry did not make any move to kill the surrounding archers. Strategically speaking, the significance of drilling through the formation was far greater than attacking the cowardly archers around them.
With the speed at which the miscellaneous cavalry broke out without any obstruction from the archers, they broke through the last layer of archers in almost a few breaths.
However, what ushered in at this moment was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in black armor. Both sides reached the highest speed, but the difference was that Zahu was like a snake that had entered the corridor and could not turn back, while the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was like It's like a train preparing to rush into a tunnel.
Naturally, the moment the two sides collided, a battle broke out. The archers who had dispersed spontaneously without even shooting arrows immediately turned around and shot at the two armies rushing in the corridor. As for accidental injuries, are you kidding me.
Even if the first military soul effect is gone, the second effect is still there. Now the iron cavalry's almost inhuman defense power and this kind of arrow rain are simply drizzle, so Zhou Yu's orders are simply not to look at people, and to go crazy at close range. shooting!
