As long as they are not stupid, no cavalry will hit the shield wall sullenly, but the Hu people ride lightly into the position full of "mouth" shield array. They are forced to reduce their horse speed in twists and turns, and have to be very careful not to hit the shield wall with a spear.
Hu Qingqi, who rushed into the Han army position, found that even if he rushed in, he was full of shield walls with spears. He was full of doubts about what he was doing.
People outside can't see what's going on inside the Han army position unless they are standing high. What they can see is that more and more Hu people rush in lightly, confused that there are hoofs everywhere, and don't understand why there is no chaos in the Han army position?
The war drums sounded, and the crossbows continued to shoot out again, startling everyone who thought the Han Army had no arrows.
"Isn't there no arrow!" Zhai bin was still in high spirits one moment ago. The next moment he saw the Han Army shooting dense arrows again and became angry: "since there are arrows, why should our people rush in?"
Looking at the overall situation of the battlefield, due to Zhai Bin's order, there were definitely more than 20000 Shijie Zhao troops flocking to the infantry array of the Han army. They made an assault from any position where they could launch an attack. During this period, the cavalry led by Huan Wen entered the war state.
The peripheral cavalry were entangled and fought with each other. After all, the Shijie Zhao cavalry that the Han cavalry could intercept were a few. More Shijie Zhao cavalry worked hard to attack the Han infantry.
Zhao Jun didn't have time to be happy with the stone tablet of the Han army. Just when they wanted to rush in and kill the Han Army, the damn powerful crossbow was launched again. In an instant, at least more than 2000 stone tablet Zhao Jun were shot over by people and horses. The powerful bow and crossbow of the Han army launched in an all-round way. The arrows within 300 to 50 steps fell like raindrops, and the scene was immediately in chaos.
The sudden change made too many people at a loss. Zhao Jun in Shijie was frightened when he found that he had been deceived. The Han army was glad to see that his own infantry array could shoot arrows. They saw another amazing scene next.
The positions of the Han Army used practical actions to tell Zhai bin the answer. Performing what is the highest embodiment of the Chinese civilized infantry in front of the world is a tactic called array change.
The roaring footsteps and war drums formed the same rhythm and split into one "mouth" shaped shield array after another. The buckled shields were raised together, and each small shield array followed the sound of "ah, hey!" The battle number is moving, which makes the Han Army shield array become a moving maze for a time, and this maze can definitely kill people.
The first Hu people to rush into Qingqi found that they had less and less space to move. They didn't want to hit the shield wall full of spikes, so they had to stop.
Then, something more frightening happened to them, that is, the sharp shield wall was squeezing. The more they squeezed, they got closer to each other and became more and more crowded. Finally, they were squeezed into a narrow space by the shield wall. Then the spear on the shield wall began to move between retracting and retreating, and each retraction could bring out a scream of people or the cry of war horses.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the more than 3000 stone tablet Zhao soldiers who broke into the military array were extinguished by a continuous scream, and gradually only the "ah hey" trumpets and war drums shouted by the Han soldiers were left.
Of course, people outside the military array simply don't know what happened inside the military array, let alone that more than 3000 Shijie Zhao Jun who entered the array have become corpses. Those Shijie Zhao Jun who should be charged with their lives are still rushing against the powerful crossbow, but the previous enthusiasm is cooled by too many companions being shot over. The Han Army worried about paoze tried their best to share greater pressure. Because of the physical consumption, the battle damage could not be avoided.
The sunset has appeared in the West. It looks like a piece of blood red. On the ground of the battlefield, too many people and horses bled. Where there were piles of bodies, there were countless Yan red blood flowing. Many small blood flows mixed together, flowing to the depression and turning into a blood pool. It was frightening to see.
It will be dark in about a quarter of an hour. If they should have stopped fighting in ordinary times, the problem is that the commander of Shijie Zhao army is a Ding Ling scumbag who is not afraid of dead people.
Liu Yan's original intention was to garrison the infantry in front of the camp of Zhao Jun in Shijie, so as to lay a good foundation for the next camp breaking, and there is no possibility of withdrawing the troops back.
Shijie Zhao army has a new trend. The tired troops are retreating to the camp, but the camp is opening up infantry with torches. It seems that they plan to fight all night?
At this time, Zhai bin probably knew that the cavalry who rushed into the Han Army's infantry were killed? He dared to fight again all night, but he really didn't take the soldier's life as his life.
Liu Yan is also withdrawing the cavalry. The infantry can fight with torches at night, but it's really impossible to let the cavalry fight in the dark.
When their cavalry withdrew, Zhai bin and infantry could be sent out. Liu Yan had no infantry in his hand except for the auxiliary soldiers on foot. It was equal to the infantry battle array at the forefront this night. Don't expect any reinforcements.
"The horsemen of the Hu people did not pose any threat to the military array, and a group of footmen running on two legs could not pose any threat." Sang Yu seemed extremely excited: "in less than a quarter of an hour, three thousand horsemen will disappear. If our Han Army has this ability, who can beat all?"
The 8000 infantry troops formed and swallowed up the cavalry of the Zhao army in Shijie in less than 15 minutes. This news was a booster for the senior level of the Han army. It seemed that they had learned for the first time that the infantry could be so powerful.
It seems that it is common for the infantry to fight cavalry in the pre-Qin period. At that time, the Hu people will be like the miscellaneous Hu Qingqi of the Zhao army in Shijie. They don't know what the military array is, they rush in foolishly, and then they are swallowed by the large array, leaving no bones and dregs.
The infantry formation is never afraid of cavalry. As long as the infantry do not break up, the cavalry can only stare at the infantry organized in the formation, especially when there is a solid defense system in front (such as car or shield wall) and a sufficient number of bow and crossbow men behind. What can the cavalry do in addition to staring at such infantry?
What is the advantage of cavalry over infantry? Isn't it the speed of mobility? When you can't fight, you will never fight. You will only wait for the infantry formation to be lifted and use its speed to rush up when the infantry moves.
To tell the truth, the cavalry's greatest power to the infantry is not to rush into the array directly, but to drag the infantry to collapse and then chase them with their tail!
That night, the Zhao army in Shijie attacked again with a torch, and turned into a round array of Han infantry. Without exception, they were all shot and collapsed on the way. Zhao Jun in Shijie had been making a fuss until late at night. Their cheer for the night was to leave more than 2000 bodies and wounded and consume many arrows of the Han army.
Throughout the night, the barracks on both sides were bright because both sides were worried about each other's night attack, and the atmosphere was too tense. Except for a very few people who could sleep at ease, most of them were too nervous to sleep.
Zhai bin was also one of the people who did not sleep. He was reported that the Han Army in the front of the camp was filling the trench.
Even if he didn't have much experience in defensive warfare, Zhai bin should know that the purpose of filling the earth is to prepare for the attack. He abandoned his face and wanted to find Wang Luan to discuss the countermeasures. The result was that Wang Luan ran away overnight with people and left most of his private soldiers!
Zhai bin was almost mad. His sense of urgency and crisis deepened with Wang Luan's actions. After all, Wang Luan wouldn't have done that without special reasons.
After a night's struggle, he sent troops to stop it for many times and became the soul under the arrow. Zhai bin painfully found that as long as the Han Army still had arrows, it would occupy an overwhelming advantage. Unless the Han Army had no arrows, they would have a chance. The Han Army has done things that pretended not to have arrows and attracted large troops to rush up and cover again. Zhai bin found many generals, but no one was willing to lead the army to attack the shield array of the Han Army no matter how he threatened.
The next day, just after daybreak, at least 6000 cavalry poured out of the Zhao army in Shijie. Without any cover up, they directly rushed to the Han Army forming a circular array.
Shijie Zhao Jun led the army to attack the unlucky guy who drew the red lot. Zhai bin called the roll directly, and no one wanted to do it. In the end, he had to draw the lot.
Liu Yan slept soundly last night. He was awakened after waiting for Shijie Zhao Jun to launch an attack. When he got on the nest car, he found that several important scribes were very happy.
"Your Majesty."
A crowd waited for the ceremony, and then of course you Jichang came to speak.
"Sir, Wang Luan sent someone last night." Ji Chang pointed to the round array, where a layer of fresh corpses was laid on the periphery. At present, about 5000 cavalry are circling around the round array. He said: "the intelligence of Shijie Zhao's early morning attack was reported by Wang Biao last night. There is relevant information about what Shijie Zhao will do today."
"Wang Luan?" While observing the map in his mind, Liu Yan said casually, "Wang Ji's relatives?"
"Exactly!" Ji Chang did not hide his irony: "these families like to bet separately. Wang Luan's chip is that there will be riots in the camp of Zhao Jun in Shijie today."
Liu Yanli knows that it is the credit given by Wang Luan for the king's watch. At the same time, it is also a good seller.
"Even without Wang Luan's arrangement, we will win the final victory of the war." Sang Yu said, "I hate people with two sides and three knives most in my life."
No one paid attention to Sang Yu. They were "selling" their own coping methods to Liu Yan one by one. Liu Yan made a statement of listening attentively. In fact, he was still observing the map in his mind, but that doesn't mean he wasn't listening
