Han Desui didn't believe that the other party would really have a positive 'gentleman's battle', but he soon found out that Lin Jue was not joking. After the two sides retreated to their own formations, the opposing cavalry began to reorganize their formations, and they actually really put on a charging posture.

Seeing this situation, the generals around Han Desui were puzzled.

"My lord, the lowly rank thinks that there must be some deception in this. How could they have such audacity? You have to be careful. The generals reminded.

Han Desui sneered and shouted: "Joke, at this time, will I, Han Desui, retreat?" To say that we are five times the strength of the other side is equal in strength, and we cannot back down at this time. My Da Liao cavalry is invincible in the world, what is one of the important military regulations? It is to move forward and never back down. When you say such things now, are you not showing weakness to the enemy, but are we going to withdraw our troops and avoid the war? Do you want the world to laugh at me, Han Desui and his soldiers, are pus-filled eggs? ”

Han Desui stirred up everyone's blood in just a few words and inspired everyone's ferocious and victorious hearts. The Liao cavalry originally had an absolute psychological advantage over the Great Zhou soldiers and horses, and no Great Zhou soldiers and horses dared to face the Liao cavalry head-on. Now that this group of guys who don't know the height of the sky has emerged, how can the prestige of the Daliao cavalry be ruined in their own hands. Of course, the more confidence of the crowd comes from having five times the enemy's cavalry, which can be said to be a sure victory.

Han De quickly ordered the formation to be adjusted, and at the same time, he quickly analyzed the situation. He knew that there were two reasons why the other party dared to do this, the first was that they had won successive victories, thinking that the Liao army was incompetent and not enough to fight, so they looked arrogant and carried away. The second reason, of course, is that they have nothing to fear, because they have a repeater in their hands and think they can be invincible. But they forgot that even with a repeater in hand, their chances of shooting were extremely limited. But the firearms in the hands of the other party may be really tricky.

Han De quickly calculated the possible situation of a battle between the two sides, and he believed that the worst situation would be nothing more than his soldiers and horses being eaten by the other side. But there was no way they could stop their cavalry from charging into their formation. In hand-to-hand combat, their crossbow arrows, firearms, and so on will be useless. If you look at them at them, you will rush into the enemy line at the cost of hundreds of soldiers and horses, and then they will be crushed and slaughtered by themselves.

Thinking of this, Han Desui couldn't wait.

The battle began quickly, and it didn't take much preparation to do so, just straighten out the formation of the charge. Han Desui knew that on this narrow long street, in a short distance, whoever charged first would have an advantage in momentum and impact. Because there is actually no room for maneuver in the formations of both sides, there is no room to maneuver. When one side charges with the power of thunder, the other side can only engage in battle. If it's slow, you're at a disadvantage.

In view of the above considerations, Han De preemptively ordered the attack. More than 2,000 vanguard cavalry began to speed up, and the noise of horses' hooves on the blue brick ground turned from slow to dense and noisy, like a storm falling on the lotus leaves in the pond. The deafening roar almost drowned out all the sound. Halfway through the rush is, war horses

The speed has been increased to the fastest, and the soldiers of the Liao army let out strange screams in their mouths, and the scimitars in their hands were also raised.

Just as the Liao cavalry began to charge, Lin Jue's side didn't seem to have any reaction. Their cavalry remained in the streets, and did not attack at the same time. They didn't even put on any defensive stance to charge, they didn't even take off their bows and crossbows, they didn't throw away their torches, they just stood there quietly.

"That's arrogant! Could it be that they think that the charge of my Da Liao cavalry is just a decoration? Could it be that they thought that they could resist the onslaught of our Da Liao cavalry just by standing there? It's ridiculous! ”

In the rear, Han Desui sneered in his heart when he rode his horse onto the roof of a low house to take a look at the battle situation, and at the same time he also felt a little bored. After all, Lin Jue's gang let themselves down, they thought they had met an opponent, but now it seems that they will soon be trampled by their own iron hooves, and defeat is inevitable. After all, they are far from qualified to be their opponents.

The charge of the Liao cavalry was like a black torrent surging along the long street, and the momentum was unstoppable and unstoppable. Within a dozen breaths, the speed of the war horse has been increased to the limit, and the distance between the two sides when they gather is originally only four or five hundred steps, after a dozen breaths, it has been reduced to less than two hundred steps.

At such a distance, everything already seems irretrievable. Even if the cavalry of the Falling Goose Army charges now, they will be inferior in terms of speed and momentum. They originally had few troops, and they would inevitably be defeated under the impact of such a hard encounter, and no matter how strong their combat strength was, it would be difficult to recover the fate of defeat. This is sometimes the case on the battlefield, where power is one of the factors that can lead to victory over the opponent, but many other subtle factors can dictate the outcome of a battle. Such as troops, such as timing, such as momentum, and so on.

One hundred and fifty steps! One hundred steps! Eighty steps!

The distance between the two sides is rapidly shortening, and each time the distance is shortened, it means that the defeat of the Luoyan army is a few points closer. The Liao cavalry was ready to meet the opponent's crossbow attack, which was also the only means that the other party could block. When they were a hundred paces, they were supposed to strike, but the Falling Goose Army didn't. Perhaps they themselves seemed to realize that in this narrow street, only about thirty paces wide, their repeaters could not hold back the torrent of cavalry. After all, the attack method of the repeater is mainly flat fire, which is its weakness after all. After paying some price, the Liao cavalry will definitely break through the opponent's formation, which is a point that everyone can see.

Finally, after the Liao cavalry entered the distance of eighty paces in front of the formation, the opponent finally reacted. The cavalry of the Luoyan Army standing on the street turned their horses' heads and actually withdrew to the rear.

"Hahaha, I want to run away now, but it's too late. Ignorant and arrogant boy, the old man will crush you into pulp. It's cool for a while, but the consequences are too much for you to bear. Han De, who was watching the battle on the roof in the rear, laughed loudly, and his mood was extremely happy. The other party wanted to run at this time, but he was afraid that he had not experienced the cavalry battle. After all, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty still can't succeed, and if you want to escape at this time, isn't that a fool's dream?

However, Han Desui's laughter had not stopped, but he was stunned

His eyes widened, because he soon discovered that the other party was not trying to escape, but just a hundred or so horsemen standing in front of the formation retreated, and their departure revealed the secret behind them.

On the long street, after the cavalry retreated, the blocking formation of the Falling Goose Army was exposed to the light of the torches. It was a strange formation, with hundreds of people forming a densely recessed fan-shaped formation. The soldiers of the first row fell to one knee and behind them were the second row, which was hunched over, and the third and fourth rows, which were standing in a staggered manner.

The width of the street was only thirty paces, and if you stood in a normally crowded formation, there was about forty people standing in a row. However, standing with a concave fan, it can accommodate more than 10 people. The dense formation formed by the four rows of soldiers of the Fallen Goose Army in front of him actually accommodated nearly three hundred people in such a small space. If you look at it from the front, the upper body of each of these nearly 300 people can actually be seen. Because of the three-dimensional staggering of the formation and the wonderful use of space, this formation accommodates more people.

In later generations, we may be able to see such a formation in a group photo of a large conference. However, the formation in front of him was not for a group photo on the battlefield, but a formation developed by the Luoyan Firearms Battalion to block the attack with strong firepower in narrow terrain. Overcoming the shortcomings of insufficient firepower due to the narrow terrain, it can maximize the firepower of long-range attack weapons in a very small space. At the same time, it is also an improved way to overcome the shortcomings of long-range weapons such as the Wangba Box and the Repeater, which can only shoot directly, and give full play to their ferocious striking power.

This array has a rather ornate name, called 'Bird Screen Array'. As the name suggests, the formation is like the tail feathers of a peacock opening the screen, and everyone is a point on the screen, not interfering with each other and not blocking each other. The name is gorgeous and romantic, but this one is extremely murderous and devastating. Especially with the bonuses of the powerful firearms and powerful repeaters possessed by the Falling Goose Army.

Lin Jue wanted to have a gentleman's battle with the other party, but it was by no means a battle against the attack, but a blocking battle using the formation, the firearms and crossbows in his hands. Attacking the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths is a battle, otherwise it is a stupid act of sending people to death. And this kind of law of war can be called a gentleman, because the gentleman's edge is not exposed, the gentleman will not bully the few with more people, and the gentleman will not take the initiative to attack others. But if the other party bullies him, then the gentleman's counterattack will be extremely fierce.

In the short time that the cavalry of the Luoyan Army retreated and blocked the formation, the Liao cavalry had already rushed out of thirty steps with an indomitable momentum, approaching the distance of fifty steps in front of the formation. In the indifferent gaze of the soldiers of the Luoyan Army standing on the street, they could already clearly see the fierce and distorted faces of the other party's grinning teeth, and they could already feel the ferocity and murderous intent in the other party's eyes. The cavalry is like this, and the cavalry that is about to rush into the enemy line will turn into a raging beast, full of rage and bloodthirsty. The reason why cavalry is the first class of troops is because of the ferocious impact and lethality brought by speed and the terrifying sense of oppression in the momentum.

However, just when the Liao cavalry was ready to rush into the enemy formation and kill in all directions, enjoying the thrill of slaughter. An earth-shattering roar sounded, and the cavalry of the Liao cavalry rushing in front seemed to have hit a wall in an instant.
