Thousands of archers got up, mounted their bows and arrows, and did it all in one go.

After Huang Zhong's order, the archers released the arrows in their hands in unison, and suddenly a rain of arrows flew up in the sky.

The cavalry that rushed towards them in the distance flew over.

Whoosh.

For a while, behind Liu Zheng, he could only hear countless sounds of breaking the air, and thousands of arrows turned into countless black lines, cutting through Liu Zheng's eyes.

Liu Zheng could only see the cavalry rushing in the distance, and with the rain of arrows, his figure suddenly stopped, and many people fell directly from their horses.

This was accompanied by the screams of some cavalry soldiers, the neighing of horses being hit by arrows, and the rolling thunder of horses' hooves trampling on the ground.

Such noisy sounds are intertwined, and only then do you have this picture on the battlefield.

The arrows on Liu Zheng's side were shot in a round, and it ended quickly, and the arrows that were shot out naturally caused some damage to the cavalry under Lu Bu's command, and there were also a lot of cavalry injuries, but it was impossible to make those cavalry retreat with a round of shooting.

Before the shooters could carry out a second round of attack, the wolf cavalry had already rushed to the front, holding spears in their hands, and stabbing forward vigorously, trying to use their spears to break through the human wall made of shields stacked by the spearmen and shields in front of them.

The sound of thumping and thumping, as well as the tragic neighing of the war horses, came again, and Zhou Cang's infantry and those cavalry were in a confrontation.

All of a sudden, Liu Zheng's heart became nervous.

"Gather in formation, don't be scattered by the cavalry!"

"Maintain the formation and stabilize the formation to have any hope of winning!"

"Archer, shoot, don't stop!"

"Zhou Dynasty, you lead the headquarters team to snipe and kill a few generals over there, if the generals die in battle, their morale will collapse!"

"The last general commands!"

Liu Zheng gave a series of orders to these people behind him, and he didn't care about the deaths and injuries of his soldiers at all.

If the infantry in front couldn't block the impact of these cavalry and were scattered in one round, it would not be Liu Zheng's infantry that would be affected.

But the 20,000 men of the whole river will suffer a devastating blow, and the rout of the army will not be temporary, but the defeat of the army will be like a mountain, and the slightest defeat in one place will spread like a plague to the whole army.

In ancient times, when there were hundreds of thousands of battlefields, the people behind them may not even reach the edge of the battlefield, the soldiers in front were killed, and the soldiers around saw that their own men and horses were too killed and wounded, and they appeared to run for their lives, and they would immediately all run back.

As soon as you run backwards, you will drive the people behind you to run with you, and everyone doesn't even know what is happening, they hear the deserters say that the front is defeated, and then they swarm and run away.

This is the root of the rout of the Yellow Turban Army, but at present, Liu Zheng and these people are no longer the Yellow Turban Army.

They are all professional soldiers, and they are elite divisions carefully selected by Liu Zheng from hundreds of thousands of basic people.

They have already put life and death aside, all of them are professional soldiers who are not afraid of death, as long as Liu Zheng gives an order, they will not hesitate to block Liu Zheng with their bodies.

Not for anything else, because Liu Zheng is their lord, Liu Zheng can give them food, and even if he dies in battle, it is glorious, and he can get a lot of pensions, and from then on, the family behind them will have no worries about food and clothing.

With such a mentality, those spear and shield soldiers under Zhou Cang used the human wall to build a line of defense, and viciously blocked the wolf riders from the human wall.

gave the shooters under Huang Zhong in the rear enough time to output.

Second round of shooting!

Third round shooting!

Soon, with Huang Zhong's order, it began to fire, and a rain of arrows continued to shoot out from the rear and landed in the cavalry group.

And Lu Bu, who did not rush with the army, saw his cavalry in the distance, and when he was actually blocked, his whole face changed.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Originally, Lu Bu thought that some infantry, in the cavalry charge under his command, would not be able to hold out for long at all, and even a back and forth rush could defeat these Liu Zheng's soldiers and flee in embarrassment, and only by jumping into the water could they save their lives.

But Lu Bu was wrong, he rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What's the matter, why can't our cavalry rush through?"

Lu Bu said in wonder, and Hou Cheng, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward and leaned beside Lu Bu to explain.

"General, it seems that Liu Zheng's soldiers and men have built a human wall to block our cavalry charge!"

Lu Bu raised his hand and slapped Hou Cheng's face.

"Are you blind when Lao Tzu thinks Lao Tzu can't see? What I asked was, why were Liu Zheng's men and horses not scattered by the cavalry, and what did they, the infantry, who didn't even have war horses, do they use to block our cavalry and take their lives? ”

Hou Cheng, who was slapped in the face by Lu Bu, covered his face with his hand and did not speak for a while.

After all, he had long been accustomed to Lu Bu's temper and character, and knowing Lu Bu's character, he was slapped by Lu Bu so much, so he had to endure it himself.

"It's really strange that these soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's hands are so fearless of death, Hou Cheng, you immediately led the remaining 10,000 people to attack from the left flank, went around the enemy's rear to kill, and wiped out those archers in the opponent's back row!"

After being sure that his cavalry did not defeat Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses in the first round of charge, but were blocked by Liu Zheng's infantry, Lu Bu was not discouraged, but immediately asked Hou Cheng beside him to lead the remaining cavalry to attack from the flank again.

Anyway, he only dispatched 10,000 cavalry to attack just now, and the remaining half of the soldiers and horses did not act rashly.

Now all it takes is to send the remaining cavalry to bypass these enemy infantry from the flanks, and then quickly attack those archers in Liu Zheng's rear to eliminate the potential threat, without the fire of those archers, it is difficult for these infantry to fight the cavalry alone.

Even if Liu Zheng's men and horses were all fearless of death, it would only delay the time of death for a while, and his cavalry only needed a few more charges to completely kill all these infantry in front of him.

Hou Cheng received Lu Bu's order, so he naturally didn't dare to have any doubts, and after receiving the order, he led his troops and horses to attack.

Of course, at the same time as Hou Cheng moved around the rear, from the other side, when Liu Zheng commanded the archers on this side, Liu Zheng had already thought that the enemy would target these archers on him, so when Lu Bu's army had not completely rushed over, Liu Zheng had already ordered the remaining infantry under Huang Zhong's command to start forming a shield wall on the periphery to prevent the enemy's cavalry from charging around the rear.

The battle was a tug-of-war, and the two sides began to exchange ideas.
