Pang De quickly stretched out his hand and pointed along the large open space on both sides of the shield array.
"Lord, look, our cavalry who rushed in first were not all killed. The cavalry on both sides of the shield formation are still safe and sound at this moment!"
Ma Teng took a look and found that it was indeed what Pang De said. These cavalry who were lucky enough to survive kept a certain distance from the shield formation and spears, so they were not killed.
"you mean..."
Pang De nodded heavily and quickly continued.
"Yes, shield formations have attack range limitations. As long as our cavalry keeps a safe distance from them, we can completely ignore these shield formations."
"The shield formation is useless. How can Liu Zhang deal with tens of thousands of our elite cavalry?"
In Pound's view, Liu Zhang was so confident because he felt that his cavalry had no way to use these iron shields.
Once the iron shield loses its effect, the infantry will never be able to resist the overwhelmingly superior cavalry.
"this..."
Unexpectedly, Ma Teng hesitated at such an anxious moment.
"My lord, we can no longer hesitate! Liu Zhang must have many reinforcements. This is our only chance!"
The intention of the Yizhou Army was too obvious. These shield formations were used to hold back the Liangzhou cavalry.
Liu Zhang used himself as bait in order to surround these 30,000 elite cavalry from all sides.
"The entire army obeyed the order, bypassed the shield formation from both sides, and directly attacked Liu Zhang's main formation!"
Finally, under Pang De's earnest advice, Ma Teng made up his mind and immediately gave the order to attack to the soldiers.
Liangzhou Jingqi responded very quickly. The entire military formation immediately separated from the middle, and all the soldiers were circling to both sides.
However, these tragic corpses on the ground stimulated the soldiers' hearts all the time.
Even though the shield array could no longer attack them, the cavalrymen of Ma Teng's army were still worried and kept pushing out desperately, eager to stay away from these murderous iron shields.
Tens of thousands of troops were already in chaos due to the narrowing of the road. Now the soldiers were crowded with each other again, making the entire military formation even more chaotic.
Pang De only wanted to take a detour, but he did not expect the consequences that the detour would bring to his own side.
Even the moment they started to move, some soldiers fell off their horses, and the screams caused by the stampede kept coming one after another.
At this moment, both Ma Teng and Pound seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Behind the iron shield formation, Liu Zhang and his 20,000 troops were waiting in full formation!
They seem to have even forgotten that the key to cavalry crushing infantry lies in the speed and momentum of the cavalry's attack.
If the cavalry loses the speed advantage it relies on for survival, then there will be no natural restraint when facing infantry.
On the contrary, the infantry can drag the cavalry into the quagmire by relying on the ultra-high flexibility of their legs!
Pound had already formed a misunderstanding in his thinking. He believed that Liu Zhang put up the iron shield array in order to hold back his own side!
In fact, this idea is completely wrong. Liu Zhang's biggest need for the Iron Shield Formation was to force the cavalry from a galloping state to a stationary state.
At this moment, this goal has been completely achieved.
As time went on, more and more Liangzhou elite riders bypassed the iron shield formation.
However, these cavalry did not keep moving forward to provide a foothold for their companions in the rear, but stopped before going very far.
There was already a look of fear in the eyes of Liangzhou Jingqi. They were about to have a close contact with the Yizhou Army infantry at a distance of up to thirty steps in front.
For the cavalry, a distance of thirty steps is just a starting point at best, and cannot achieve the effect of sprinting at all.
Due to the sudden stop of the cavalry, the entire Liangzhou army was in turmoil again.
The rear army pushed forward desperately because of the commander's order, while the front army held back because of fear of the Yizhou Army's front, and some even retreated frequently.
Retreating forward and advancing backward is a taboo for military strategists!
If it's infantry, it's fine, and at best it can be crowded, but if tens of thousands of cavalry are crowded, the horses will riot.
When a war horse goes crazy, it will immediately trigger a series of reactions.
Such stupid command behavior of the Liangzhou Army was completely seen by Liu Zhang from behind.
At this moment, Liu Zhang had already drawn out the sword from his waist and raised it high in the air.
"Generals, obey the order!"
The 20,000 infantry troops raised their weapons at the same time and loudly responded to Liu Zhang's orders.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
The momentum and morale of the 20,000 infantry troops shouting in unison far surpassed that of the 30,000 cavalry troops who had charged before.
Whether it is Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pang De, or the Liangzhou Cavalry in chaos, they finally know what a real elite soldier is!
There seems to be a certain gap between Liangzhou Jingqi and the real elite soldiers.
It was at this moment that Pang De seemed to suddenly realize that Liu Zhang was not trying to hold him back, but...
Liu Zhang didn't even give Pound time to recite silently. As he waved his sword forward, he immediately gave the order to attack.
"Exterminate the traitors, conquer Yongliang, and kill!"
The coordination of the Yizhou infantry was beyond imagination. Almost as soon as Liu Zhang blurted out his words, they had already taken forward steps.
"kill...!"
As the shouts of killing spread, the Yizhou infantry who had been silent for a long time finally showed their fangs to the enemy!
The infantry is counterattacking the cavalry!
At this moment, the restraint between the arms completely lost its meaning.
Facing the Yizhou infantry who burst out with astonishing fighting spirit and chilling spirit, the Liangzhou Jingqi were all confused. Who is the king in the land battle?
Before today, where had they ever encountered infantry charging toward cavalry?
Who is the infantry and who is the cavalry?
Soon the Liangzhou Army will know that the shocking changes on the battlefield have just begun!
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Just when all eyes were focused on the charging Yizhou infantry, a deafening crash suddenly came from the ears of the Liangzhou cavalry!
It turned out that all the shields of the shield array fell to the ground, and all the soldiers wrapped in the shield array were exposed to the air!
These soldiers were covered in iron armor, their faces were covered by iron masks, and only one pair of eyes were exposed to the air.
The infantry rushing forward were also wearing iron armor, but they were completely incomparable to the thousands of soldiers in the shield formation.
Maybe there are differences between armors!
This is the real heavy infantry, the real invulnerable armored warrior!
The Liangzhou cavalry was shaken by the great changes that happened one after another, and everyone was stunned and stunned!
Gao Shun was always keeping an eye on the situation of the Liangzhou cavalry. How could he miss such an excellent opportunity?
"Fall into camp, throw your spear!"
Gao Shun gave an order, and five thousand spears stained with the blood of Liangzhou cavalry were thrown together, and the attack range immediately covered the surrounding camp!
After a breath, the hail of spears all arrived in front of the Liangzhou cavalry!
