If things such as trebuchets and trenches are only to stop the cavalry and cannot cause large-scale damage to the cavalry, then the dense rain of arrows is the harvest of the cavalry.

The cavalry that rushed to the front suffered heavy casualties after a rain of arrows.

Le Jin saw that those cavalry had huge casualties after a round of arrow rain, and immediately looked surprised, looking at those cavalry for a while, he was actually a little surprised.

"General...... This...... The power of this rain of arrows is too great. ”

Huang Zhong saw the bows and arrows fired by these soldiers behind him, and after shooting a large number of cavalry, his face also showed a hint of pride.

Seeing that Le Jin and Li Dian both looked a little surprised, Huang Zhong was not stingy, and immediately explained to the two of them why he had to wait for these cavalry to approach before starting to shoot.

"Do you know why I waited for these cavalrymen to get so close to us before I ordered our men to shoot arrows?"

Li Dian and Le Jin both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, and at the same time stared at Huang Zhong, expecting Huang Zhong to explain to them.

Huang Zhong didn't hide it, but immediately told them the reason.

"The best range for a shooter is at a distance of eighty paces, and at a distance of eighty paces, although there are also those who can hit, but the power is reduced a lot, unless it is a natural divine power, with a good bow, it can reach about one hundred and twenty steps, or even farther."

"But ordinary marksmen, within a range of eighty paces, are the most lethal, and those cavalry of the enemy army are all elite, with soft armor or excellent harness, and it is not easy to break through their defenses."

"If we start firing at a hundred and fifty paces before they are in range, it will only cause these archers behind us to waste their arrows, and they will not do any damage to the enemy, but will allow them to rush forward in the gap between us reloading our bows and arrows."

"And the distance of eighty paces is the distance where the archer can hurt the most, as long as the arrow can be shot, even the cavalry in soft armor will be pierced by our archer, causing some damage!"

Huang Zhong's understanding of archers was unmatched by anyone present, so having him to train and direct these archers was simply seamless.

After listening to Huang Zhong's explanation, Le Jin and Li Dian on the side both looked like they suddenly realized, they were still worried about something at first, but now after hearing Huang Zhong's words, both of them admired Huang Zhong.

At the same time that Huang Zhong and the two of them finished explaining, the archers behind them had already completed the second round of arrow launches.

The arrows that rushed out again caused some damage to Ding Yuan's cavalry again.

However, correspondingly, the distance of eighty paces, under the gallop of the cavalry sitting on the war horse, was quickly pulled in.

Some of the cavalry had already rushed over, and they were only thirty paces away from Huang Zhong and them.

However, they could not directly confront the archers under Huang Zhong's command, but the 6,000 infantry under Huang Zhong's command confronted these cavalry.

These 6,000 infantry are the elite infantry led by Li Dian and Le Jin.

Although most of Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses are archers, there are still some infantry, and the purpose of equipping these infantry is to prevent the enemy from raiding, so some infantry will be equipped to block the enemy's pace in front of the archers.

"Li Dian, Lejin, it's your turn to play!"

Huang Zhong saw that the enemy army had rushed up, so he immediately ordered Li Dian and Le Jin to start a counterattack.

The role of Li Dian and Le Jin is not to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to defeat these enemy troops, but only need them to intercept some of these cavalry here, and it is enough not to let these cavalry get close to Huang Zhong's headquarters soldiers and horses.

Li Dian and Le Jin are not incompetent, especially Le Jin, who can be called a good general by Cao Cao, is not a wine bag and rice bag.

Anyway, Le Jin is also among the five good generals, and his status is second only to Zhang Liao.

During the decades that he took refuge in Cao Cao, Lejin participated in almost all the wars of Cao Wei's regime.

However, the reason why Lejin is not well-known in history is actually that he has not commanded a major battle alone, and he cannot become famous in one battle like Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu.

Therefore, Lejin's ability has always been questioned, but since Lejin took refuge in Liu Zheng, he has been added as a partial general under Huang Zhong, but he has shown his speed dominance.

The thousands of infantry under his command were trained by him to have some strength.

When the cavalry rushed over, Le Jin immediately drew his weapon, rode his horse, rushed forward, and commanded his subordinates to start fighting with those cavalry.

Le Jin and Li Dian each led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and they were in the center of the battlefield.

With them, it will be difficult for the enemy's cavalry to rush into the core of the battlefield, after all, these infantry are all with shields, they are not for attack, but for garrisoning, and they are connected to each other.

The cavalry rushed over, although it could crush the infantry and make it impossible for the infantry to stop it, but thousands of infantry could not be broken here in a moment and a half.

Plus there are archers who are constantly shooting behind them.

These archers, able to significantly increase the losses of those cavalry.

Under such mutual confrontation, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under Ding Yuan were directly shot and killed.

The battle continued, and the cavalry of more than 15,000 soon lost more than 5,000 men.

Coupled with the obstruction of these infantry, these cavalry did not immediately disperse Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses.

After a long time, the casualties of the cavalry intensified, and the infantry on the side of Le Jin and Li Dian had also been killed by these cavalry.

Even though Li Dian and Lejin's infantry were well-trained, the infantry was inherently weaker than the cavalry.

Under the frantic offensive charge of the cavalry, the infantry was still difficult to resist.

Over time, six thousand infantry also began to show casualties.

As soon as the rift opened, the cavalry was able to break out of the encirclement and enter the core battlefield to attack those shooters around Huang Zhong.

At this time, Huang Zhong's face was still flat.

There wasn't even a hint of tension in the air.

After Le Jin and Li Dian's men and horses failed to block the cavalry's charge, Huang Zhong immediately ordered his own soldiers around him.

"Quick, let those people sent by His Majesty come out, it's time for them to play!"

Huang Zhong's words immediately made the two pro-soldiers around him nod hurriedly.

"Yes, General, those people sent by His Majesty are in the rear, and we will go and let them out."

Liu Zheng knew that Ding Yuan would send cavalry out, so he transferred a strange army under his command to Huang Zhong in advance.
