As soon as Zhang Xutuo's voice fell, more than 10,000 soldiers behind him pulled their bows and shot angrily, and the sharp arrows in the air rose into the air with a "buzz", flying over like a rain of arrows, and were in the middle of the charging team of the coalition army.

Black arrows poured down like dense raindrops, with a roar of death. In the roar of the Sui soldiers, the war horses of the coalition army let out a mournful sound, and one by one they fell to the ground with "coo, tom".

The war horse fell to the ground, but the cavalry on the horse couldn't stop the inertia, fell off the horse, and was immediately trampled into flesh by the iron hooves of the comrades behind.

The swift arrows that came at a gallop tore open cracks in the dense coalition ranks, and the charging formation of the clan coalition army was instantly chaotic, and the eyes of the leading Xi clan leader Dalong were also surprised and angry. He originally thought that although the other party was commanded by a famous general like Zhang Xutuo, the number was far inferior to that of the coalition army, and many of Zhang Xutuo's soldiers were infantry. How can they beat the charge and trampling of their 70,000 cavalry?

It's just that when the sharp arrows whistled past him, it made him tremble, and the combat effectiveness of this group of Sui troops was so strong, it was really rare for him to be seen in the Liaodong grassland.

It is not easy for the Xi people, Heishui, Sumo and other tribes to rise in the grassland, although there are many herdsmen in the grassland, but the organization is very low, there is little cooperation between the tribes, but there are many fights, so the strength is dispersed.

If all the cavalry on the steppe were really gathered, it would definitely be a vast and huge force. But the truth is that even the small tribes below the same tribe are rarely able to unite against the enemy. This is very evident in the Turks.

The Turks are not only divided into two tribes, the East and the West, but also dozens of tribes, large and small, within the Eastern Turks, which are respected by the royal family Ashina.

And the Xi people, Heishui and Su Mo were able to rise because their tribes were small, unlike the Turkic, Khitan, and Murwei, and there were many small tribes inside. So to be able to hit people with a fist. Gradually, it gained an advantage in the tribal battles in the Liaodong area.

However, their combat methods are also mainly based on invasion. When attacking, they retreat suddenly, and they are often rushed by them before the target of plunder has formed an effective resistance, so they only need to rely on the fast horse under their crotch and the saber in their hand to get what they want.

The same is true for the battle for Goryeo this time, in the eyes of Dalong and others, the Sui soldiers will only be more vulnerable than those warriors who grew up on horseback on the grassland and have outstanding riding and archery skills. But he never dreamed that the Sui soldiers he faced were actually trained in an orderly manner, and they were not afraid of the might of their coalition forces.

The formation of the coalition forces paused slightly, and the impact slowed slightly. The cavalry of the coalition army already knew that these Sui troops were not easy to deal with. However, after all, they had rich combat experience, and the leader of the Heishui Department immediately shouted loudly, and in the screams of his subordinates, he ordered his subordinate Le Ma to attack the Sui army in front of him from the flank. Longbows and arrows are only useful in long-range combat. Although they suffered a lot of casualties, after all, they narrowed the distance between them and the Sui army, as long as they were allowed to step forward for a distance, they were absolutely confident that they would cut these Sui archers off their horses.

The clan alliance army is all elite warriors who have been crisscrossing the grasslands for many years. Their skills are not ordinarily strong, they intersect with people on horseback, and they don't believe that these Sui soldiers can stop their sabers!

But they didn't expect that they couldn't get close to the Sui army, Zhang Xutuo immediately shouted without hesitation after the Sui army shot a round of long arrows: "Disperse!" ”

Nearly 10,000 archers scattered, mounted their horses and retreated to the two wings, actually ahead of the steppe cavalry. The allied cavalry was stunned and wanted to pursue it. saw that the scattered Sui army had retreated like a tide.

And the tide did not subside, and nearly 10,000 archers rushed out like angry waves behind them. The sound of the bowstring pulling is terrifying.

Thousands of long arrows were fired again. In the moonlight, the sword light of the steppe cavalry and the cold light on the bow and arrow arrows were intertwined. There was first silence between heaven and earth, and then the sound of breaking the air and sneering endlessly. The subordinate leader never expected that the opponent's formation would be so staggered.

Zhang Xutuo's army may not be as good as the steppe cavalry in battle, but it is well-trained, and with the advantages of consistent movements, sharp bows and arrows, and long-range range, it has been able to contain their onslaught.

The steppe cavalry with strong martial arts can also use sabers to pull away sharp arrows, and people with slightly worse martial arts have been shot like hedgehogs with people and horses, and Dalong and others have strong martial arts, and they are not panicked when they block the sharp arrows of the Sui army, but the war horses are no longer able to take half a step forward. After all, they are not like the ironclad cavalry of the Sui army, all men and horses are wearing iron armor.

The Clan Alliance suffered heavy losses in an instant, and after these two rounds of sharp arrows, they were shot down by nearly 7,000 people, or one-tenth of the total number.

However, although the steppe cavalry was panicked, they finally approached the formation of the Sui army, and Dalong and Hachi raised their eyes to see that the Sui army was less than ten zhang away from their own army, and they only needed tea to fight.

"Brothers, work hard, and you'll be able to rush into the enemy's battle formation in no time! At that time, we can smash the heads of these Sui people and avenge our dead brothers! Xian Wei licked his blood-stained lips and said with a hideous face.

However, the nightmare of the steppe cavalry was obviously not over yet, and Zhang Xutuo's deep voice gave the order again. What he said was just four simple words, but the momentum was earth-shattering and terrifying!

"Raise your spear to meet the enemy!"

After Zhang Xutuo's order was issued, the Sui army, which had already formed the formation of the Eight Winds Battalion, erected spears that covered the sky and were like trees. Then he stabbed over with the action of brushing and brushing, and sank it vigorously.

Although these spears are not as fast as arrows, their strength is even more unstoppable. The soldiers in the middle of the Eight Winds Battalion's formation no longer drew their bows after a round of shooting, but quickly dispersed to the two wings and began to change their weapons.

The first group of soldiers rushed from the rear, shouted, and threw the spears in their hands! After the spear was taken off, the air suddenly lit up and shadowed, but the soldier who threw the spear did not need anyone's command, pulled out the saber at his waist with a "bang", and waited for Zhang Xutuo's next order with a solemn face.

After the sonorous crash, the people and horses shouted miserably.

The sky was full of light, murderous, and bloody. The moonlight reflected the steppe people on the battlefield with pale and bleak faces. The shadow of the gun is like the arm of death, raging and reckless.

In a burst of menacing laughter, thousands more coalition cavalry were killed by the spears they tossed.

The momentum of the clan alliance army's attack like a rainbow was immediately disintegrated into invisibility by the counterattack of the Sui army, and the cavalry surging up in the rear looked at the corpses of their comrades in front of them in dismay, looking at the guns like a forest, and couldn't help but be terrified. Although he didn't have an order from his own leader, he couldn't help but retreat, and everyone had the intention of evading.

And at this moment, Zhang Xutuo broke off again and issued the fourth order: "Charge!" ”

His commands were concise and powerful, and although they did not speak much, they were very clear and practical. Apparently thanks to the very good training on weekdays.

Zhang Xutuo stood on the battlefield on horseback, tall and bright, like a god of war. Every order he gave was unconditionally carried out by all the soldiers under him.

He stood there without moving, like a needle in the sea, so that the Sui soldiers were at ease.

After Zhang Xutuo issued the order to charge, the cavalry on the two wings that had just dispersed quickly gathered, and they were divided into left and right to cover and kill, and the soldiers in the middle also immediately began to charge head-on.

Dalong, Xianwei, and Hachi were already dumbfounded, and only then did they understand how much difference there was between chaotic fighting on the steppe and truly well-trained combat.

In individual fighting, whoever has strong martial arts is the boss, but on the battlefield, it is to see who can screw all the strength together, and who is the boss. When thousands of soldiers form a single body to attack, it is difficult to match the scattered enemy, even if they are twice as numerous.

Yu Ming was standing on the high post at this time, and when he saw Zhang Xutuo sitting in it, he only relied on a few orders and the command of the horse lance in his hand, which made the formation unpredictable, and he was also very impressed.

The formation of his Eight Winds Battalion was indeed well organized, and the chariots, archers, cavalry, and infantry were skillfully coordinated. It is as elegant and uninhibited as a martial arts master's move, but the rhythm is clear and smooth. The soldiers advance and retreat freely, swaying boldly and neatly.

Zhang Xutuo's happy victory this time can be regarded as a fierce battle against the grassland cavalry, and the essence of his Eight Winds Battalion tactics is clearly displayed in front of Yuming.

Yu Ming knew in his heart that he might be as calm as Zhang Xutuo, but he couldn't let Zuo Lingwei's soldiers ignore life and death and charge into battle like Zhang Xutuo's soldiers. Because he can't make orders like a mountain so that the soldiers can carry them out completely to the letter.

"Zhang Xutuo is indeed worthy of being the first general of my Great Sui! Ten thousand soldiers gathered freely, judging from the layout of the formation, first maintain the distance between them and the enemy, then shoot with bows and arrows, delay the enemy's actions, and then counterattack by surprise, throw with spears, cut the opponent's formation, and finally use the main force to complete the counterattack. All of this has already been regarded as the strongest attack power of the Ten Thousand Iron Cavalry. At this time, Yu Chengdu also quietly walked to Yu Ming's side and said with a look of emotion.

Yu Ming nodded, although the 70,000 people of this clan's coalition army seemed to be overwhelming, but under Zhang Xutuo's division and cutting, it had become so vulnerable. In the echelon cross-attack of the Eight Winds Battalion, all the soldiers were fighting, and the combined forces were seamlessly connected, like an endless tide, and their fists smashed into the most vulnerable part of the coalition formation.
