But the Huns didn't know that this was just the beginning. In addition to conventional methods such as tripping horse ropes and cutting sabers, a strategic method that few people in this era thought of was also used to deal with the Huns' cavalry, and that was the Zama

nail.

It is self-evident that the horseshoe protects the war horse, but this is the most easily overlooked part. Even the Huns, who are known as the people of the grassland and the horse nation, did not think of this. And if it weren't for Lu Bu, who has the soul of future generations,

man, Lu Bu

The cavalry in the army will not slap horseshoes on the hoofs of war horses, and now the craftsmen in the army have mastered this craft skillfully. There will no longer be horseshoes that bleed from the hoofs of war horses before, or they will never be able to get in.

Something happened.

And now it is precisely because of Lu Bu's presence that he has seen through the fate of the Huns' war horses. This is more lethal to them than the tripping horse ropes and the saber-chopping sword. Just between those "dwarf-legged tigers" and the tripping horse ropes

When the Han soldiers completed their mission and were about to retreat, they simultaneously threw to the ground the horse nails they were carrying that had been made by military craftsmen.

On the originally flat ground, a large number of sharp nails suddenly appeared, glowing coldly under the rising sun. These nails were somewhat similar to Lu Bu's thumbtacks in his previous life, that is, one side was a flat surface, and the other side was a sharp nail.

Only in this way can the nails be erected with the sharp side facing up, which will have the greatest damage to enemy horses.

The Huns cavalry rushed here, but once again they knocked a man off his back, and this time it was obviously more serious than before, because if the Huns were thrown off their horses, the horse nails covered on the ground would also be lethal to them.

strength, and because it is ruthless

They fell hard. The inertia was so great that even if they saw that there seemed to be a trap below, they had no time to stop their bodies. As a result, those sharp nails were driven directly into their bodies, and large areas of blood were instantly dyed red.

The screams merged into one.

The Hun cavalry couldn't help but feel scared after seeing this scene. At this time, their heads, filled with the fury of the surprise attack, gradually calmed down. Seeing that this round of sprinting, they hit several enemy traps in succession, and their own side had not yet touched them.

When they reached an enemy, they lost thousands of people first. At this time, many people became timid. Shengsheng stopped in front of the corpses of those robes and began to wander hesitantly.

At this time, Lanhu Luye, as the interim commander of the First Army, had already mounted his own horse. He saw this scene from a distance behind. He was first shocked, then furious, and could not retreat no matter what. This was his

The bottom line is, if the enemy is just frightened like this, then why are they fighting? They can just go home and farm.

In fact, although these traps of Lu Bu's army really frightened the large number of Huns cavalry behind them for a while, making them hesitant to move forward for fear that they would also be attacked, the damage caused by these two or three times was actually less than that caused by the previous crossbows.

There were many, and according to a rough estimate, it might not exceed 4,000 people. For the Xiongnu army, it was not enough to break their muscles and bones, but it could only temporarily suppress their morale.

However, driven by Lanhu Luye and other generals, the Xiongnu soldiers had to suppress their inner fear and continue to charge forward.

It's just that Lu Bu's army's methods are naturally not limited to this. They first kept retreating, luring the Huns cavalry to pursue them, but when they got to the front, there were various traps and various constraints waiting for them. Moreover, Lu Bu's army sometimes still sent some

Things are mixed together, such as

It is said that when the cavalry was charging at high speed, a large group of spearmen suddenly appeared on both wings. They had not noticed it before and did not know how to ambush here. As soon as they saw their own cavalry passing by, the enemy troops came and rushed at high speed with their spears.

Throw it out from the ranks of the Huns cavalry.

Poof!

Poof!

The sharp spears pierced the leather armor and penetrated into their bones and flesh. Some people were already dead, but the horses under their crotches didn't know it at all. The result was dragging a corpse and sprinting forward madly, and

This is by no means a special case.

In addition, the big men with strong arms who had rested for a while and recovered appeared again. After the cavalry rushed behind them, they took over the blocking task. The repeating crossbows in their hands were already ready, and they only waited until the Huns entered the fifty

Within the range of about one step, they fired the sharp weapons in their hands.

call out!

Phew!

The sharp arrows shot through the air, but brought an unsuspicious death threat to the Huns. Some people kept falling from their horses with screams of "ah", and then the corpses became a stumbling block that hindered the companions behind them from moving forward.

, the war horse that was unable to retreat either directly trampled over the corpse and continued to move forward, or was tripped and fell, causing the horse to flip over.

Because the advantage of infantry combat was restored, Lu Bu's army unexpectedly gained an overwhelming upper hand in the first period of time.

But this is only temporary. After all, Lu Bu's army's preparations were a bit hasty. The time from the dawn decision to the morning attack was not enough for them to prepare anything. These things now are all equipment that accompanies the army and are not changed out of thin air.

Now they have used the power they can exert to the maximum, and the results achieved are indeed good. Unfortunately, the Xiongnu army finally eliminated these traps and methods at the cost of a large number of casualties, but everything happened next.

Almost back to square one.

Lu Bu's army still has more than 30,000 men. Even though the Xiongnu army has passed through the previous rounds of brutal traps, its losses are less than half. Now there are still more than 70,000 troops, twice as many as Lu Bu's army. The number of troops is naturally large.

The disadvantage is still irreparable.

Although they were able to block the Xiongnu army or even suppress them in a short period of time, their disadvantage was exposed again in the long run, and it became more and more obvious as time went by. In addition to the fact that if the number of people was not enough, one person would die, and one person would die.

They had been fighting for so long and were almost exhausted. Although the Huns on the opposite side were not still vigorous, they were much better than them anyway.

At this moment, in Lu Bu's camp, it was a different scene.

When the situation on the battlefield was slowly filled by the numbers of the Xiongnu army, and after the cost of nearly 20,000 people, the situation of being completely suppressed by one side was finally reversed, they could already predict what would happen next.

Sure enough, although the morale of Lu Bu's army was high, the difference in numbers was too big, and the combat effectiveness was not enough to completely wipe out the enemy. However, he did not know whether he was forced into a desperate situation and his blood was aroused. The counterattack of the Xiongnu army was much worse than yesterday.

It was even more intense. When more than 70,000 Xiongnu troops united to face the enemy, they let Lu Bu's army know what a true Xiongnu warrior was.
