The Huns, finally on the offensive!

In Dugu Jing's eyes, the ground in front of him seemed to be beating!

The earth trembled under the hooves of the Hun cavalry, and it seemed that there were countless enemies, roaring.

The dust splashed by the horses' hooves stretched the whole world.

The sun was gradually falling westward, falling on the corpse wall in front of him, mottled brown bloodstains, exuding a strong smell of blood.

Click!

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer.

However, the sound of the bowstring, which was supposed to sound, fell silent.

The archers have been laid off.

The Wuheng people have given up on the plan of long-range sniping!

Because the actual battle in the morning proved how unreliable Wuheng's archers were?

A terrible salvo of low quality and efficiency could not cause any trouble to the Hun cavalry at all!

After the battle, the Hun cavalry who inspected the battlefield and died by arrows was only thirty or fifty people!

On the other hand, nearly 2,000 archers took turns shooting!

It's not just because of lack of training, lack of experience.

It's more because the equipment is not good!

The vast majority of the bows used by the Wuheng people were hunting bows rather than war bows.

Hunting, shooting birds and beasts, may be enough.

But on the battlefield, the power is too small, and the lethality is too weak!

A salvo within fifty paces, even in the mission, is hardly lethal!

Even if you get closer to thirty paces, the arrows thrown by the hunting bow can really pose some mortal threat to the Hun cavalry - unless he is too unlucky!

Someone once found a Hun cavalry on the battlefield who was covered with more than ten arrows, but could still rush into the array and fight with the Wuheng infantry.

Examination of the arrow wounds on his body revealed that none of the arrows had pierced the muscles.

Most of the arrows were stuck in the flesh......

It's embarrassing!

The Huns, it seems, were no less surprised.

However, without the harassment and concealment of bows and arrows, their speed, agility and integrity are thus smoother.

"Kill!" The cavalry in the front row, approaching the wall.

With the experience of the morning, they immediately clamped the horse's belly, urged the war horse to speed up, and quickly crashed into the wall.

In an instant, hundreds of horsemen slammed into the improvised reinforced and piled up walls at the same time.

Immediately shook the structure of the wall.

At the same time, the riders on the horses, armed with weapons, jumped up from their horses and jumped into the wall with great skill.

Then, they saw unmistakably the posture of the Wuheng army waiting for them behind the wall.

Everyone, at this moment, is a little distracted.

Unlike in the morning, Wu Hengyi's servants did not immediately come up.

Fifty paces behind the wall, they lined up an array of Hun cavalry, never seen before.

A super big ring!

All of them, all hedgehogs, gathered together to form a ring of spears, spears, swords and shields.

There is more than one such ring.

On the side of the wall, on the battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles.

Now, the Huns found themselves facing at least six similar rings or cubes.

All are made up of Wuheng people.

Armed with spears and spears, they turned themselves into a phalanx full of spikes.

Dugu Jing stood in a ring, looking at the Huns who were full of doubts, and shouted to his subordinates: "Wuheng warriors, let the Huns see the will of the brave and loyal Wuheng after the Xuanyuan clan!" ”

"Raise your spear! Guns! Don't be afraid! He shouted loudly, and at the same time, hundreds of pro-soldiers had dispersed throughout the phalanx, supervising and supervising the soldiers.

The Huns in front, after a short period of doubt, immediately made the wisest choice - they collectively turned around and began to push the corpse wall.

Soon, right in the wall, a gap was opened for cavalry to pass.

Then, there are more and more gaps.

And hundreds, or even thousands, of the Hun cavalry roared through these gaps.

Then, they all saw the phalanx in front of them.

"What the hell are these Wuheng people doing?" A Gudu Marquis, who led the troops, looked at the phalanx in front of him after riding his horse, wondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "After the whole team, attack!" ”

As the military aristocracy of the Xiongnu Empire, the Gudu Marquis, each of them grew up on the battlefield.

It's not like those clans that can be the head of the household, the big head of the household, or even the king of the tribe.

They have their own understanding and reading of war and combat.

Many people can even do 'look at the dust and know how many steps a horse takes?' Smell the land and know the distance of the army! ’。

They were the real backbone and organizers of the war machine of the Hun Empire.

Although they are all illiterate, they have not read military books at all, and they do not know what tactics and strategy are.

However, their rich military experience and the intuition they have cultivated countless times in life and death have made them in fact, in fact, not much worse than the Sima-level officers of the Han army in terms of command, leading the army, and judgment.

This Guduhou is an experienced veteran who has experienced dozens of battles and crawled out of the pile of dead!

The phalanx in front of me, although weird, although I have never encountered it.

But he immediately made his own judgment.

However, after a short period of effort, a force of more than 200 horsemen was organized.

Then, taking the lead, he led his cavalry and rushed over.

He had the confidence and ability, believing that he would definitely be able to destroy the phalanx of these weak Wuheng slaves!

Because, he once encountered an enemy who used a phalanx!

Have some experience!

However......

When he and his subordinates rushed towards the strange phalanx, they suddenly found that the war horse they were driving did not obey the command.

They did not follow their own orders and rushed directly into the enemy's array.

And in front of the enemy's formation, suddenly a diagonal line.

Actively avoided the enemy array!

What's even more terrifying is that almost all the cavalry's war horses do this.

Moreover, they choose several different directions.

So in an instant, this Bone Marquis and his cavalry team were automatically diverted by him in front of this circular array.

Divided into two teams that led in two completely different directions.

And this is exactly a problem that contemporary people have not discovered.

Horses, this creature, although they are brutes.

But smart.

A clever beast will seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Instinctively avoid things that could cause harm.

And the Wuheng people, now use spears, spears, and even sharpened wooden spears and wooden spears to turn themselves into a monster covered with spikes.

Never in such a situation, untrained horses will instinctively avoid it.

Not to mention the Huns!

In fact, the same was true of Nakti's Praetorian cuirassiers when they encountered a hollow formation of English lobster soldiers at Waterloo.

It's just a pity that the Wuheng people don't have muskets or crossbows now.

There are only a few hunting bows that are not very powerful.

Even so, hundreds of archers standing inside the phalanx could easily aim and shoot at the Hun cavalry diagonally in front of them.

Because of the close proximity (no more than twenty paces at most, and some even only a dozen steps), the lethality and hit rate of the hunting bow are greatly increased at close range.

So, when more than 200 cavalry rushed through the entire phalanx, they found that they had lost at least 50 people!

That Guduhou was even hit by an arrow in the chest, but fortunately he was wearing a heart guard, otherwise......

He paused his horse and touched the bruises on his chest, his face turning pale.

"There's something weird about this one!" He gritted his teeth, his face pale.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the inside of that ring array was empty!

This allowed those Wuheng people to rely on this strategy to pull the entire formation long enough and big enough!

Faced with this array of spears, spears, and halberds, even if he had faced an enemy who was also defended with a similar long weapon, he couldn't think of any good way to crack it for a while.

Because, he found, this formation seemed to be specially designed for cavalry, especially cavalry like him—because the weapons of the Wuheng people were all held diagonally, so that their weapons, in the eyes of men and horses, looked like a dangerous steel jungle!

Involuntarily, you will avoid it!

A feeling of being targeted immediately lingered in my heart.

…………………………

Outside the battlefield, Zhang Yue watched from a distance, and the Hun cavalry rushed into the battlefield in waves, however, they were divided by hollow arrays and fell into a situation of fighting on their own.

Inside, he finally felt a little relieved.

"This can at least consume a lot of strength and energy of the Huns!" He whispered: "You can also let the Wuheng people hold on longer!" ”

But, that's it.

Hollow array, defensive cavalry is a must!

But......

In the face of the infantry who dismounted and attacked, there was not much advantage!

And the Huns will soon think of this solution!

After all, this is not the era of firearms, and without the coordination of muskets and artillery, the training, morale and cooperation, as well as physical strength and energy of the Wuheng people are all a problem.

It is not that the Huns do not have the ability to shoot the bow immediately, and such a hollow array, if it faces the Mongolian cavalry who are good at riding and shooting, I am afraid that it will be shot into a fool.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue had long considered the possibility that the Huns might choose to attack on foot.

So......

He turned his head and said to Guo Rong, who was already waiting by his side: "Order: Order the Wuheng cavalry to be ready to enter the battle at any time!" ”

He's made up his mind!

As long as the Wuheng people can continue to fight, as long as the reserves of the Huns have not yet been put into battle, his side will definitely not move!

Let the Wuheng people consume and consume the physical strength, horsepower and energy of the Huns as much as possible.

Guo Rong took the order and left.

Zhang Yue picked up the pen and began to record on the paper.

He is still a learner of war.

He is learning any tactics, strengths and weaknesses of both sides of the enemy.

Especially after watching the battle between the Wuheng people and the Huns, many doubts and questions gradually became clear in his heart.

The experience and tactics of how to confront and defeat the Hun cavalry also gradually matured.

Now, Zhang Yue is finally convinced.

Tang Jun's approach may be the most suitable for the current era.

Cavalry, the Han family wants to develop!

Infantry, especially the infantry, which can accompany the cavalry attack, should also be strengthened.

Otherwise, once the enemy comes up with a similar tactic against cavalry, and there is no infantry to fight together, the cavalry will suffer huge casualties!

And Zhang Yue believes that he will practice and sort out a set of riding and infantry cooperative combat tactics suitable for contemporary realities.

Then, a new era is coming!
