General Jingji's reaction was still very fast, and the soldiers in the front row immediately began to pick up the small round shield they carried with them to protect them in front of them, and the round shield that was not very large protected the entire chest, wanting to resist the attack.

But no matter how quickly they reacted, the decision they made was wrong, or whether they took the shield or not, it didn't affect the outcome. Because these subordinates only thought that the cavalry archer that Jing Ji shouted in his mouth was a crossbow arrow shot by Fubo's crossbow. Due to the special reason of the crossbow, the bolts issued will only travel in a straight trajectory, and will not change their trajectory in the air due to the angle and force of the fire. This is also the reason why everyone holds the round shield on their chests, and at long distances, the crossbow arrows sent out want to hit the enemy, and the best case is to shoot at the flat end, and the target is only around the chest.

Just when everyone was confidently waiting for the first wave of Fubo crossbow attacks, in the dust and smoke hundreds of meters away in front of them, a series of "boom!" suddenly sounded one after another. "Boom!" The bowstring rebounded, and then a silver light shot into the air, and the afterimage left by the rapid operation nearly turned into a screen, soaring into the sky. The three-edged arrow clusters made of stainless steel shimmer with a little murderous aura under the scorching sun, dazzling the eyes.

And just a few seconds ago, Jing Ji in the middle of the phalanx already knew that something bad was going to happen when he saw the front row of cavalry protecting the round shield on his chest, although the important reason was that his order was not given accurately, but he still shouted on the horseback in anger, it seems that if it was on the ground, he would have jumped like thunder: "Stupid! It's a bow and arrow!! Not a crossbow!! Crown! Protect the top of your head!! ”

In fact, no matter whether Jingji's order was right or wrong, the "silver sword rain" in the sky would still fall into the crowd as usual. Even if the cavalry held the round shield above their heads, the arrows that could fall from the air would have different strengths, which would lead to different angles, and the small round shield would not stop the soldiers on the horses no matter what. Unless there is a large shield nearly two meters high that is specially used by shield soldiers, it is possible to protect the whole body of people and horses.

As the first arrow fell into the phalanx, the second and the third, a succession of arrows began to find their target, either in the arms or in the legs, and if they could not find the target under the protection of the round shield, there were also the horses that were almost completely exposed.

The phalanx in the front row suddenly became a mess, and no one wanted to be injured, let alone die. In the atmosphere of panic around them, regardless of whether there were arrows rushing towards them, the cavalry would still constantly move their horses back and forth to dodge. In this situation, where death is possible in the next second, every open space has become a sacred place in the hearts of the cavalry to avoid death.

There were constantly miserable howls and shouts in the crowd, especially the war horses that were unfortunately shot by arrows, those sturdy and powerful war horses, only with the power of an arrow could not directly kill them, but it was enough to make them feel frightened, for a while not only raised their hooves and neighed, but also began to rush around indiscriminately, and the simple-minded ones seemed to have regarded everyone around them who were blocking the way of escape as "murderers" after being injured for no reason.

Seeing that the team was disrupted with just one round of cavalry shooting, the screams in Jing Ji's mouth still did not stop, and under his leadership, the surrounding generals and guards also began to shout loudly for command, wanting to stabilize the scene. But where can you still hear it in the front row, which has long been in chaos? Even if you hear it, in the face of the "rain of arrows", who can stabilize your body and stand in place to maintain the formation?

When the first round of arrow rain fell into the crowd, the second round of arrow rain had already risen into the air, because of the galloping of war horses, the target of this round of arrow rain was no longer the cavalry in the front row, but fell into the crowd more than 20 meters behind them. The rain of arrows fell, causing chaos again. The third round of arrow rain rose into the air again and fell again, the large phalanx of nearly 100 meters formed in front of Jing Ji was already broken, and Jing Ji in the rear was even more like blood in his heart, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.

The rhythm of the Ben Thunder Pioneer Regiment did not stop because of Jing Ji's heartache, and after the three-wheeled cavalry shot, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to about three hundred meters. The thousand-man phalanx at the front began to change, starting from the middle to scatter the horses to the two sides, and at the same time winding the Fubo crossbow, and then constantly pulling the trigger towards the enemy in the process of changing the formation.

With the roar of the crossbow arrows, the already chaotic formation became a mess, and even the front row of the front row showed a jagged gap. Even many cavalrymen in the front row had begun to turn their horses' heads in a panic and retreat towards their own formation, and the cavalry crowded with each other made the phalanx, which had already shrunk into a mass, more like a colony of ants hugging a group of people to grab a piece of dessert.

From the front to the back, from the middle to the sides, the phalanx at the front of the Thunder Pioneer Regiment completed an extremely difficult coordination. When they arrived at a position only about fifty meters away from the enemy, they did not directly raise their spears and enter the phalanx as everyone thought, but turned their horses' heads and returned in the direction they came, skimmed the outside of the two thousand-man phalanx in the back row, and then continued to converge in the middle, turned the horse's head, and formed a thousand-man phalanx again.

The panicked enemy soldiers were also relieved to see that the shooters did not advance with their guns, and then two phalanxes slowly appeared in front of them, and the heart that had just been put in the stomach was instantly raised to the throat again.

The two thousand-man phalanx had slowly merged into one formation in the process of advancing, the first row was not very large, only three hundred, the second row was only more than ten more, the third row was more than ten more than the second row, and so on, a new formation composed of only six rows of cavalry was presented in front of the enemy.

"Shhh Jing Ji saw the situation in front of him, especially the whole situation of the two phalanxes merging into one, the hand holding the reins subconsciously tightened, and he took a long breath of cool air in his mouth, his eyes were like goldfish, as if he wanted to break free from the shackles of his eye sockets, and jumped directly to the front to see everything more clearly.

As the commander of the army, Jing Ji naturally understands very well the difficulty of wanting to change the formation when the war horse is galloping, and even more understands the difficulty of the two formations wanting to merge into one. But just now, he saw all this, and it was two thousand-man cavalry regiments. And not only did they merge into one, but they also quickly formed a trapezoidal formation specially used for cavalry charging and fighting.

The three hundred people in the front row are separated by two people from each other, and the distance between them and the front and back of the second row is about two meters. The cavalry of the second row, on the other hand, is separated by a distance similar to that of the first row, after the gap between the first row of cavalry. The third row was in a similar distance between the second row of cavalry.

It wasn't until the cavalry of the fourth row that they were in the same column as the cavalry of the first row, but in this way, the men and horses were already separated by a distance of nearly ten meters, and they would no longer be affected by the distance during the charge, resulting in accidental injury to their own people.

Such a formation is perfect for charging, the cavalry of the second row will not stop because their comrades in the first row are blocked, and can continue to meet and tear through the enemy's defense line while the front row is empty, and the principle of the third row is the same.
