Guan Yu, who was standing on the side, was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him!

But in contrast, he didn't rush to speak like Zhang Fei, but narrowed his eyes and took a closer look first. After about ten seconds, it suddenly dawned on me:

"I see! Those halberds just now must have been stabbed by the soldiers of the inner circle. It seems that not all of the soldiers in the enemy army were armed with shields. This kid surnamed Hua is really cunning enough! ”

This time Guan Yu really guessed correctly, not everyone in the Huaxing Army defended with shields, and some soldiers were responsible for attacking with halberds.

According to Huaxing's design, the thousand soldiers were divided into five groups of two hundred people each.

Three of them were shield-wielding guards, and the other two were halberd-wielding raiders, and they were distributed in a circle in a large array.

In other words, in order from the outside to the inside, the first, third, and fifth rows are the shield group, and the second and fourth rows are the halberd group.

The offensive launched by the Huaxing Army just now was launched by the halberd group standing in the second row.

If this is arranged, will it always be the first two rows of people to work, and the third, fourth, and fifth rows to watch the play?

On this issue, of course, Huaxing has also considered.

According to his meaning, every ten minutes, the lineup has to rotate the front and back rows.

This way, on the one hand, allows the soldiers in the back row to be transferred to the front row to fight; On the other hand, it can also allow the soldiers in the front row to retreat into the formation to rest. While ensuring fairness, it also achieves the combination of work and rest, which is a relatively scientific means of job rotation.

After figuring out Qinghuaxing's method of arranging the formation, Guan Yu knew very well in his heart that if he charged like before, he would definitely not be able to get a bargain.

So he ordered on the spot and ordered the soldiers to retreat more than 30 meters quickly.

After all the soldiers withdrew, Guan Yu turned his head and said to the hundred archers behind him:

"The archers are ready, the target is the Huaxing army!"

Since the opponent has a shield and a halberd, both offensive and defensive, Guan Yu simply gave up the hand-to-hand combat plan and prepared to shoot the opponent with a bow and arrow!

After receiving the general's order, a hundred archers simultaneously put their arrows on the strings and aimed them in the direction of the enemy.

Immediately afterwards, following the leader's order, hundreds of arrows were launched into the air at the same time, like a dense rain of arrows rushing straight towards the enemy.

On the other side of the battlefield, seeing Guan Yu withdraw his halberd soldiers and replace them with archers, Hua Xing's face did not show the slightest surprise, and while shaking the red flag in his hand, he shouted loudly:

"The congregation will listen to the order: change ...... Anti-archery! ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw all the soldiers approaching the center of the large array in unison.

When everyone gathered together, the shield soldiers standing in the first, third, and fifth rows held the black iron shield in their hands above their heads at the same time.

Because of the close proximity of the group, the shield is connected to each other.

In addition, the area of the shield is not small, and one or two soldiers can be dodged under each shield.

So in an instant, they built a huge protective umbrella to protect all the 1,000 soldiers in the field.

About ten seconds later, I heard a sound of collision from the shield, and the first wave of arrows of the Youzhou Army had fallen, but all of them were blocked by the shield.

Seeing that a wave of offensive failed to work, Guan Yu, who was standing on the opposite side, would not give up easily, and soon let the archers launch two more shots.

But the result was the same as the first time, after three rounds of shooting, the number of injuries in the Huaxing army was still zero.

"Second brother, it seems that bows and arrows are useless! How's this good? Seeing that the other party had defused the attack of the arrow rain so easily, the worry in Zhang Fei's eyes obviously increased a little.

As the commander-in-chief, Guan Yu was not as flustered as Zhang Fei, but nodded while stroking his long beard and said: "Well, this Huaxing really has some means, I underestimated him before." ”

"Alas! Second brother, why are you still in the mood to say this? Zhang Fei said anxiously: "You should think of a way, how should we overcome the shield array?" ”

"Although the shield array is strong, no matter how strong it is, it is also an infantry division! Once you encounter the cavalry, you will definitely be scattered. The third brother is not in a hurry, for the sake of the brother, he will break the formation for us! ”

After replying confidently, he saw Guan Yu turn his head and say to the cavalry captain:

"Now it's up to you, give me the whole team!"

On ancient battlefields, cavalry has always been the nemesis of infantry.

Once the cavalry is charged, they transform into speeding knives, using their fearsome speed and impact to destroy all sorts of defenses in an instant.

Whether the opponent is holding a wooden, iron, or bronze shield, it is difficult to resist such shocks.

Therefore, in Guan Yu's opinion, as long as the cavalry comes out, coupled with the infantry attack, Huaxing will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop.

So with an order, a hundred cavalry were released!

Although there were only 100 cavalry, the formation of men and horses was very spectacular.

It was as if a hundred sports cars were starting at the same time, with a thick "exhaust", galloping towards the Huaxing Army......

Seeing that the Youzhou army gave up the archers and charged with cavalry instead, Hua Xing just smiled slightly, and the expression on his face was still indifferent, because he had already guessed that Guan Yu would make such a move.

As soon as the cavalry set off, Huaxing danced the red flag in his hand and issued a new order:

"The whole army obeys the order! Groups 1, 3 and 5 retreated into formation; The second and fourth groups face due north, gather and stand by! ”

Hua Xing knew very well that it was impossible to block the impact of the cavalry with the shields in their hands alone, so he simply withdrew all the three groups of people holding shields into the inside of the formation, leaving only the second and fourth groups with halberds and standing at the forefront of the formation.

When the enemy's cavalry was less than 30 meters away from them, they listened to Huaxing's order, and ordered the soldiers of the second and fourth groups to raise all the halberds in their hands and rush straight to the direction of the cavalry.

Although the number of halberdiers was small, the two groups combined had about 400 people.

Four hundred halberds were lifted at the same time, and the scene was extraordinarily spectacular.

Some people lift it higher and go straight to the horse's head; Others are flat, ready to deal with the horse's body; Others swing very low, specifically to deal with horse legs...... It feels a bit like a big hedgehog full of spikes, stopping at the front of the formation.

Not to mention human beings, even the hundred war horses had a sense of creepiness after seeing this scene, whether it was a human or a horse, they didn't want to rush up and kill themselves.

For a while, I heard the sound of "driving" constantly sounding, and the soldiers who rushed to the front pulled the reins one after another, and came to an emergency brake.

Unfortunately, although the soldiers in the front row stopped, the soldiers who charged behind them did not know what was happening in front of them and were not ready to "brake".

Under the effect of inertia, the entire cavalry team was like the scene of a car accident, and it didn't have time to operate at all, so it crashed into it one after another.
