You don't need to identify Xu Bin to know that this exclamation came from his classmates. It is rare for soldiers of the Yulin Army to make such unauthorized noises.
Through Lu Xun's prompts and Wang Ze's military orders, the students have fully understood the deployment of the army.
Lieutenant General Jin or General Zhang Liao, or even Lord Wang Yu, had formulated the basic principles of the Eastern Expedition before the war - a quick victory. Therefore, when faced with the harassment of Hu Qi, the army turned a deaf ear and did the minimum.
After taking maximum precautions, they marched at full speed.
Of course, neither Yu Jin, who is famous for his prudence, nor Zhang Liao, the coach who has won the trust of his lord, will be too careless because of choking. Therefore, the army should now be in a state of looseness outside and tightness inside. The purpose of the previous pauses is also
Be clear and lure the enemy!
That's right, it's to lure the enemy to attack!
Using the marching troops to lure the cavalry into the formation, Xu Bin was still sweating in his heart even though he had extraordinary confidence in his own troops. His clenched hands were greasy, but he didn't notice it at all.
.
In fact, he really felt that this plan was a bit too risky.
Wouldn't it be good to have the cavalry take turns to guard the surroundings? It was really hard for Xu Bin to understand. Yes, if the light cavalry chase each other, no matter how elite the gale force cavalry is, they will not be able to catch up with the well-prepared Hu cavalry, but as long as the Hu cavalry is shielded
Without prying eyes, couldn't the army maintain a normal marching speed? Is it necessary to take such a big risk to lure the enemy?
You know, although they are uneducated, Hu Qi are not stupid. They have developed beast-like intuition in their hunting and banditing careers.
They are very patient.
Two or three hours have passed since they appeared. During this period, they have been repeating the same actions. If they were ordinary people, their interest would have waned long ago. But looking at the energetic appearance of those barbarians on horseback, and
It was absolutely the same in the beginning.
They are also very skilled.
Every feint was very realistic. Even if Xu Bin kept telling himself that it was a fake, Hu Qi would turn his horse's head around at most four hundred steps away and would not really charge.
However, when he faced hundreds of horse hooves beating the ground, making a thunderous sound, and the horsemen on horseback brandishing their swords and shouting wildly, as if they were charging madly, he still felt trembling.
Xu Bin is not a coward. During the Battle of Madiliang, he was on the front line and assassinated more than one enemy with his Chang Ge. But only now did he understand why Wang Duwei and General Wen Ze always
That is to say, Ma Tiliang's Hu Qi is not in the best condition. If both sides fight in the best condition, let alone annihilation, even the victory or defeat is not guaranteed.
Only at this time did he truly understand the state of mind of his father Xu He when he recounted the past. A pure infantry unit was really helpless in the face of the light cavalry that came and went like the wind! There was no need to fight, just this kind of thing
Continuous pressure can crush people.
Now I am facing only the Wuhuan Cavalry, which is far inferior in quality. Back then, my father was facing the predecessor of the Gale Cavalry - the unparalleled White Horse Yi Cong!
Thinking back to Zhao Yun's achievements after leaving the fortress, Xu Bin felt a little sympathetic to the Xianbei people who faced the gale force cavalry at that time. The light cavalry tactics were brought to the extreme and they were simply invincible, let alone under the leadership of General Zilong? I heard that Zilong
The general has extremely keen observation and intuition. No matter what the formation is, he can find flaws in the formation with just a quick glance.
Hu Qi did not have the same talent as General Zilong, but their patience made up for this. For two or three hours, they launched feint attacks again and again almost without interruption. I don't know how many times Xu Bin was defeated by them.
I was deceived, almost thinking that they would rush straight to the front of the battle the next moment.
Among so many feints, as long as there is a real attack mixed in, it may cause considerable losses to the army, making it impossible to defend against it.
If preparations are made early, there is no need to set up large oars and spears, and form a dense formation. As long as the soldiers stop advancing, Hu Qi will rein in his horse and turn around with satisfaction, thinking that he has achieved success.
As for being late in preparing... Xu Bin already had a good understanding of what kind of disaster it would be to be hit by cavalry charging at high speed into the middle of the army without any cover.
So he didn't understand Wang Ze's current arrangement, but he could understand his classmate's exclamation. Obviously, Hu Qi was dissatisfied with the current situation and wanted to take stronger measures.
Three hundred steps is the maximum effective range of a strong crossbow, and it is also the maximum limit that a strong bow can reach. Breaking into such a distance means that Hu Qi is determined enough and is ready to charge hard!
"There is also... closer... two, two hundred and fifty steps over here!" Exclamations kept coming. From Hu Qi's resolute charge, the students all felt his determination to complete the task no matter the cost.
Following the first group of hundreds of Hu cavalry who crossed the 300-step cordon, several groups of Hu cavalry ranging from 30 to 60 to 70 men also crossed the red line and continued to the next cordon.
Approaching.
But the army was still moving forward silently, as if Hu Qi didn't exist at all.
"Brother Wang?" Xu Bin turned to Wang Ze, and the corner of his eye happened to glance at Lu Xun's face. The young man who had been talking calmly and calmly now looked pale and seemed very nervous. Xu Bin could understand that theory and
The actual gap is always huge. Those who have never actually faced a cavalry attack cannot understand the harsh reality that my father and his comrades faced back then.
"It doesn't matter." Wang Ze waved his hand, his expression still as gentle as before, and said sincerely: "This is a very valuable experience. You must cherish it and don't let the Lord's good intentions go down."
"But..." Xu Bin certainly knows this truth, but the problem is, that's not what he wants to say now. No matter how elite the infantry is, it will take a certain amount of time to prepare to fight against the cavalry, right? Hu Qi is now infinitely approaching the two
A hundred steps, if it's any closer...
The so-called "no more than three arrows can be fired" means that from the time the enemy enters the range of the bow, the archer can usually only fire the bow three times, and then the enemy will be close. The effective killing distance of the infantry's strong bow is usually within 150 steps.
The cavalry charges much faster than the infantry, and the distance of one or two hundred steps can be reached in an instant.
The Yulin Army relies on discipline and equipment to fight against the cavalry. From the time the army stops to forming a formation, it takes at least a stick of incense. But once Hu Qi crosses a distance of 200 steps and really launches an attack, there will be no chance.
So much time to prepare?
"Don't worry." Wang Ze responded with a relieved smile, but his eyes became more and more sharp. Seeing this, Xu Bin felt a little relieved. It seemed that Governor Wang didn't care at all, but was fully prepared.
However, when he followed Wang Ze's line of sight and turned to watch the enemy, his heart that had just been put down suddenly rose again, all the way to his throat!
After passing the 200-step cordon, Hu Qi finally couldn't hold on anymore. They slowed down slightly, and the distance between them was no longer as close as before. When they reached the 150-step distance, they simply turned around.
He knew the direction and started running parallel to the army.
It was just like this. Of course, there was nothing to worry about. However, not all Hu Qi did this. The centurion who launched the charge at the beginning, with the cover of his companions, not only did not slow down, but accelerated over. By the time Xu Bin
When the movements of this group of Huqi could be discerned in the smoke and dust, they had already rushed within a hundred steps!
"Well done, Nabuli, rush in, rush in!" Wu Yan laughed wildly, holding back for more than two hours just for this moment, "Kill one and you'll be enough, kill two and you'll make a profit, longevity."
Children of Heaven, show your bravery to the fullest!"
This team of cavalry only had a hundred people. Although they took the Han army by surprise, they could not be expected to achieve unparalleled results. Wu Yan had arranged it in advance. This team was a death squad. As long as they rushed in, they would kill as much as possible.
Just the Han army.
Even if one is replaced one by one, he does not feel that he is at a disadvantage. What's more, if the advancing infantry is bumped into the queue by the cavalry without any preparation, how can one be replaced by one? Just using the horse to collide can knock down two or three hundred men.
The army is over, and the cavalry on horseback are not puppets. Can't they kill a single person?
Of course, the Han army that rushed to the battle moved very quickly, and it seemed that they would lose some people before engaging in the battle. But in any case, this time it would definitely teach the Han army a major lesson.
Qi Zhou was not as optimistic as Wu Yan. Even though he could not help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart when he saw the Wu Huan cavalry rushing over a hundred steps away and the Han army stopped to fight. But soon, he was beaten by the Han army.
Agile was shocked.
"Stop..." Wang Ze's angry commanding voice penetrated the horse's hooves and stirred up thunder.
The governor is slightly lower than the captain. The latter is the battalion officer, and Wang Ze is the battalion deputy. When the first battalion marches on two sides, he is responsible for commanding the half-battalion soldiers and horses on the other side. This team of Hu cavalry
The location of the impact happened to be above his defense line.
"Boom!" Thousands of people raised their feet and put down their feet at the same time, making such a roar. The army naturally advances and retreats together. If one battalion of soldiers and horses fights on the same spot, and the others continue to go their own way, then the army formation
I'm afraid it has long been torn apart.
"Turn..." the commands were issued one after another.
Wang Ze and half of the battalion all turned around. The soldiers in the front row made a strange move. They passed the spears in their hands back. The soldiers in the back row quickly took it, and then reciprocated and handed over a spear.
Weird looking things come...
The strange shape was for the Wuhuan people. The moment he saw this object, Qi Zhou's pupils suddenly narrowed. It was not a strange thing, but the most common and rare crossbow in the Han army.
——Big yellow bow!
"Look..." The sound of the order seemed to follow some strange rhythm, leading the rhythm of a dance. The Han troops in the first row squatted down, raised their crossbows, and pointed upwards diagonally towards the enemy.
The movements are orderly and not chaotic at all.
The spears in the hands of the soldiers in the second row also disappeared, replaced by large yellow bows of the same standard. The crossbows were held flat in front of their faces, and the cold arrows emitted a soul-stirring cold light.
Qi Zhou opened his mouth to speak, but found that his mind was completely suppressed by this strange beat, and no sound came out no matter how hard he tried.
Hu Qi, who was charging into the formation, had already realized that something was wrong. He became even more frantic, pushing the speed of his horse to the extreme. The distance of fifty steps was instantly passed, and the remaining thirty or forty steps seemed to be very close at hand, as if he stretched out his hand, It's like you can touch the helmet tassels of the Han army on the opposite side.
However, an illusion is an illusion after all, and a cold command destroyed all hope.
"Wind!" The powerful command brought up a gust of wind.
"Bang! Collapse! Collapse!" More than four hundred big yellow bows were launched at the same time, and a steel storm raged within a hundred steps in front of the Han army. Wherever it passed, only souls were scattered! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature , the novel is better and updated faster!)
