Under Dana's order, a full 2,000 Rouran cavalry rushed towards the Wei army.

According to the practice of charging in the past, in order to avoid heavy casualties when charging with a large number of bows and arrows, the two thousand Rouran cavalry charged in a scattered formation, and prepared bows and arrows when charging.

Zhao Junsheng sat motionless on the horseback holding the hilt of the sword, but his expression was very relaxed, as the main general, Hua Mulan looked nervous, this was the first time she commanded such a large-scale battle, her hands were sweating, so nervous that she forgot to give the order when the Rouran people were about to enter the strike range of the infantry archers.

"Ahem!" Zhao Junsheng coughed twice to remind her, but saw that she did not respond.

Zhao Junsheng didn't know if Mulan was too nervous, or if she had forgotten that she still had an archer, after all, she had only led cavalry before.

Zhao Junsheng had to do it himself, otherwise the fighter would be lost, and he would be able to snatch it back, so he immediately shouted: "Prepare the archers, two hundred steps in front of the target, and five rounds of salvo······ Shoot the arrows—"

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-" Wave after wave of arrows flew into the sky one after another, like dense locusts falling into the galloping cavalry of Rouran.

The power of the salvo was vividly revealed, and the two thousand Rouran cavalry in a straggler formation were still met head-on, and in these five rounds of volleys, at least 200 people were shot and fell off their horses one after another, and those who were shot but did not hit the vital point still gritted their teeth and insisted on hitting their horses and rushed towards the Wei army.

Amid the rumbling hooves of the horses came a great deal of screaming and neighing of the horses.

Some of the fallen Rouran cavalry were trampled to death by the horses' hooves on the spot, and some were trampled into meat mud continuously.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Mulan, and found that she seemed to have just come back to her senses, the hand holding the reins and holding the horsewhip were trembling, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, after all, she was a woman, and she was still a little not calm under this kind of big scene.

He reached out and grabbed Mulan's hand, "Mulan, calm down!" You are now the main general, you must see the six roads, listen to the eight directions, grasp the overall situation of the battlefield, and give orders in time! Just fight according to what you thought before, don't worry, even if the order is wrong, isn't there still me? I'll adjust in time! ”

Hua Mulan was grabbed by Zhao Junsheng's hand, feeling a strong strength, she felt a little relieved in her heart, and recalled the strategy she had prepared to play defensive counterattack before.

If all of them were cavalry, they would not have to fight defensive counterattacks, and they would naturally be able to take the lead in attacking with superior forces, so as to control the initiative on the battlefield, but now that there are 5,000 infantry, this is different.

The formation was a crane wing formation, which was originally an offensive formation, and now the Rouran people used cavalry to attack the middle lane, and infantry and cavalry to hedge, which was not a wise move.

In order not to distract the defensive forces, you can only resist the first wave of attacks of the Rouran people first, and then launch a counterattack.

Hua Mulan observed for a while, and saw that the attacking Rouran cavalry was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow attack of the cavalry on both wings, so she immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let the cavalry on both wings shoot the enemy with bows and arrows!" ”

Hua Mulan calmed down so quickly, Zhao Junsheng still felt very surprised, he was worthy of being a famous general, and he adapted to his identity so quickly for the first time commanding a battle.

Zhao Junsheng nodded to the herald, because the herald systems and methods of the two armies are different, they can only give orders separately, Zhao Junsheng can directly use the flag bearer to play the flag, but Huaishuo Town will send the herald to run over on horseback to give the order.

The three cavalry thousand cavalry on Zhao Junsheng's side immediately raised their bows and arrows when they saw the flag of the standard-bearer, and fired arrows at the Rouran cavalry that was facing the infantry from the past, while Huaishuo Town's side waited for a minute before starting to release arrows.

At this time, the first few platoons of the attacking Rouran cavalry had already begun to concentrate on the fastest speed, and launched a concentrated assault on the Wei infantry.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes froze, and he said with a shocked face: "These Rouran cavalry actually gathered together to break through to our middle in such a short period of time, this kind of tactical literacy ······."

"Whoosh ······" The Rouran cavalry released their arrows, and a large number of arrows kept shooting into the Wei infantry.

The Mo knife team in the front row shook the Mo knife together under Li Bao's order, knocking some arrows away, these Mo knife hands are wearing iron armor, wearing iron helmets, and have considerable defense against arrows, but there are still casualties, some arrows through the shaking knife forest shot the neck, joints, cheeks and other parts of the Mo knife hand.

Many of the arrows that were fired into the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen in the rear were blocked by the shields, and some of the arrows penetrated through the gaps in the shields and shot at the Wei soldiers.

Screams of pain kept coming.

The Rouran cavalry was getting closer and closer to the Wei army's infantry, and Li Bao, who was standing at the front of the Mo knife team, held the big Mo knife in both hands, and looked at the rushing Rouran cavalry and shouted to everyone behind him: "Raise the knife, prepare - stab -"

The Mo knife hands in the front row collectively stabbed out the Mo knife, and the war horses of the Rouran people were inevitably stabbed, and in front of the Mo knife hands lined up in a dense formation, whether to the left or to the right, they would be stabbed.

When they finally collided, they didn't hear the expected impact, only the neighing of a large number of war horses, and pieces of flashing knife light shot around.

Under Li Bao's order, the five hundred Mo swordsmen lined up in four rows strictly carried out his order, swinging their knives and slashing together, and the Rouran cavalry who rushed from the front were stabbed down or cut into two pieces one by one, and human blood and horse blood were constantly sprinkled on the grass.

The power of the Mo Dao team was huge, a large number of Rouran cavalry were killed, even the men and horses were cut off, and the first two rows of Mo Dao hands were stained red with blood.

After suffering a large number of casualties, the Rouran cavalry concentrated their forces in the middle of the Mo Dao team to make a fixed-point breakthrough, and the depth of the four rows of Mo Dao hands was too weak after all, and accidents inevitably appeared.

The middle of the Mo Dao team was broken through, and Li Bao had already slashed left and right, and he couldn't stop Rou Ran Qibin from bypassing him and breaking into the infantry formation from the middle.

"Boom-" The Rouran cavalry who broke through the Modao team crashed into the shield array behind, some of the sword and shield soldiers were knocked to the ground and vomited blood, and some of the Rouran cavalry crashed into the spears that were obliquely inserted on the ground and became a gourd string.

The first two platoons in the middle of the phalanx of sword, shield and spearmen found heavy losses, almost all of them were killed, but the Rouran cavalry rushed here to an end, they were completely blocked, and they could not advance or retreat.

At this time, the soldiers of the Mo Dao team reacted, and the back two rows immediately moved closer to the middle, filling the vacancy after killing the Rouran cavalry that broke into the formation, and once again completed the phalanx of the Mo Dao team, and the formation was even closer.

The attacking Rouran cavalry was all blocked at this time, and the Mo Dao Formation lost its speed before.

Seeing this, Mulan immediately ordered: "Order the sword and axe hands of the Chinese army to attack!" ”

Knife and axeman? Zhao Junsheng smiled, he didn't say that this was not called a knife and axe hand, but a strange knife hand, and he made a gesture to the herald.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to Hua Mulan and said, "Mulan, you must predict the battle situation before giving an order, you must know that it takes time to convey military orders!" I'll give you an example, you can't wait for the enemy to be fully within range of the bow and arrow, you have to give the order before the enemy is within range, or you'll miss the best time to attack! ”

Hua Mulan thought about Zhao Junsheng's words, and it was true.

The Rouran cavalry, which had lost their speed, was miserable this time, they did not receive the order to retreat, and they were in a mess in front of the Modao Formation.

Li Bao received the order to attack, and he yelled: "Modao team, attack-"

The Modao team collectively stepped forward with neat steps.

"First row, sting—"

"Puff, puff······" A pole Mo knife stabbed the war horse of the Rouran people, and the war horse neighed and fell, and the Rouran soldiers also fell off the horse.

"Second row, in—split—"

"Third row, in—cut—"

A large number of Rouran cavalry fell to the ground, and the Rouran cavalry that lost their speed were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered at this time, their spears were not as long as Mo's knives, and their scimitars could not cut Mo's hands.

In the distance, Dana observed the situation, and he found that the attacking two thousand cavalry were actually blocked, how could this be?

But in fact, these cavalry under his command lost speed in front of the Wei army's formation, and they were still being hit by the cavalry of the Wei army on both wings, and he was a little flustered in his heart, and he did not realize that his cavalry was being slaughtered by the Wei army's Mo swordsmen.

He immediately settled down and immediately issued a second order: "Order the 1,000-man team to attack the left flank of the Wei army, and the 2,000-man team to attack the right flank of the Wei army, and disperse them for Ben Shuai!" ”

"Yes!"

Two Rouran Thousand Cavalry Corps set off, which was equivalent to two armies in the establishment of the Rouran Army.

The two Rouran cavalry rushed up to the left and right flanks of the Wei army with a fierce and murderous aura.

Hua Mulan quickly reacted: "Order, send two thousand cavalry on the left and right wings to meet the attack!" ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and Wan Dugui and Gao Xiu each gave orders, and two thousand cavalry each rushed forward to meet the Rouran army.

Hua Mulan also gave this order considering that the Huaishuo Zhenjun and the cavalry under Zhao Junsheng were all new recruits, and they had never seen blood, and if they fought with the same force, they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Rouran people, and hoped to contain them with twice the force, not to defeat them, as long as they were delayed.

Facts have proved that Mulan's order was quite correct, although the recruits have a considerable amount of training in tactical combat skills, but after all, when they go to the battlefield for the first time, they will inevitably be a little timid, once they are timid, their momentum will be weak, and their movements will be hesitant and deformed when they rush to kill and slash, and they will not be resolute and ruthless enough.

However, the gap in strength made up for this lack of experience, and with two soldiers against one soft soldier, the soldiers were more confident.

The cavalry under Zhao Junsheng performed better, they lined up in a dense formation under the command of Gao Xiu, with the 2,000 cavalry as the main attack, and they held spears in a dense formation to launch a dense assault on the oncoming Rouran cavalry.

Rows of dense spear cavalry came in waves, and the Rouran had no idea how much casualties such a terrible assault would inflict on their loose formation.

The two sides launched several rounds of bows and arrows to shoot each other during the hedge, each with losses, but after the impact contact, the Rouran people suffered a big loss, facing the spear cavalry lined up in a dense formation, the Rouran people were knocked on their backs, and many Rouran people were strung with spears, and their screams and neighing horses came and went.
