Not only Gao Xiu, but also Gao Xu and Xue Andu are also trying their best to control the morale of the soldiers and boost the morale of the soldiers, although they have no actual experience in leading the troops, but they also know that the most fearful thing for the soldiers on the battlefield is that during the period when the enemy charges over, all fears will disappear after the real contact with the battle.

Zhao Junsheng heard the behavior of the three of them in the battle to appease the soldiers and boost their morale, and couldn't help but be secretly happy, these three people have great potential in the military field, as long as they have a little training and accumulate combat experience, they are all people who can make great achievements.

At this time, the Rouran cavalry had already formed a straggler formation and were about to rush to the range of the infantry archers, Zhao Junsheng shouted to the heralds: "Two hundred steps ahead, the infantry archers are free to shoot!" ”

Zhao Junsheng has not led the troops for a long time, but he likes to ponder, and he has also figured out some experience in the past year, it takes time for orders to be conveyed in the army, so before conveying orders, it is necessary to reserve time for the heralds and the commanders of the front departments to give orders and orders.

At present, the maximum firing range of the infantry archers in the army is about 200 paces, so he gave the order when the Rouran cavalry was still 300 paces away from the infantry archers, so that the herald had 50 paces to convey the order, and the forward commander also had 50 paces to convey the order to the soldiers.

When the herald heard Zhao Junsheng's order, he immediately waved a flag to the bow and arrow circle, and Gao Xu, who was in charge of the command of the bow and arrow team, immediately shouted: "Bow - two hundred steps ahead!" ”

All the archers pulled their bows apart, and the arrows were pointed upwards and forwards.

"Shoot freely, shoot arrows—"

"Whoosh ······"

"Whoosh ······"

A puff flew into the sky, forming a black oppressive patch, like a dense patch of locusts, landing on the heads of the charging pliable cavalry.

"Ahh

"Chirp-"

One after another, the Rouran cavalry was hit by arrows, some people still continued to beat their horses and gallop and sprint, some fell directly after being hit by arrows, and were trampled by the hooves of the horses behind, and soon turned into a mess of flesh, some people were injured and screamed, and the war horses fell to the ground and neighed in pain.

The sound of a large number of horses' hooves quickly drowned out these screams and neighings, and the other Rouran cavalry still fiercely beat their horses and rushed towards Zhao Junsheng's military formation.

Zhao Junsheng stretched out the palm of his left hand, and the palm of his hand swiped down in front of him, and the herald on the left immediately played a flag, and Gao Xiu and Xue An both shouted at the same time after seeing it: "Shield——"

The simple but effective order was understandable to everyone, and all the soldiers covered their heads with their shields over their heads, except for the soldiers on the periphery who had already blocked their shields in front of them.

At this time, the Rouran cavalry just ran to the range where they could fire arrows, and with the loud orders of some of the little marshals leading the team, all the Rouran cavalry opened their bows and fired arrows at the side of the baggage battalion formation.

"Whoosh ······" Waves of arrows kept falling above the formation, and the shields above their heads were clanged by the arrows, and the blows of the rain of arrows did little damage to the baggage soldiers, except for a few unlucky ones who were occasionally injured by the arrows through the gaps between the shields.

The archers in the middle of the formation continued to fire arrows, and the Rouran cavalry kept being shot, and they kept firing arrows in front of them until a new order was issued.

Zhao Junsheng gave a new order to the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers on the periphery, and stretched out his hands in the forward direction and separated the left and right sides.

Gao Xiu and Xue An both saw the banner of the herald, and immediately shouted at the same time: "Eight doors are wide open!" ”

The eight who had been blocked with shields were instantly opened, and the soldiers behind the door retreated to both sides to leave a criss-crossing passage.

In the course of the exercise, in order to avoid casualties, the charging cavalry will not charge very fast, and the horses will have enough time to react, and they will turn and run into the passage without headbutting against the shield and the carriage.

But now it is a real battle, and the fierce Rouran cavalry has the highest sprint speed, even if the war horses see the passages that have been exposed, but they don't have enough time to turn to the passages, and they can't stop the speed, so they can only let go of the horse's hooves and crash into the carriage and shield.

Zhao Junsheng gave an order at this moment, his left hand was inserted diagonally forward, and the herald immediately beat the rest with the flag.

Gao Xiu and Xue An both shouted at the same time: "Spear-"

Since it was to resist the cavalry, the role of the spearmen was to erect a forest of spears and spears, and a circle of spears was inserted diagonally into the ground, and the spearheads were aimed diagonally upward, flashing with a cold cold light.

"Boom, boom, boom—" The sound of impact kept coming,

The Rouran cavalry, who had no time to turn, crashed into the carriages in front, some of the carriages were directly smashed into pieces, some of the carriages were stronger, but they were also knocked over, the baggage soldiers behind were knocked to the ground with their shields, and some of the skilled Rouran cavalry jumped over the carriage and crashed into the spear and spear forest shield array.

"Puff, puff, puff······" There was no need for the Rouran war horse to be strung on the spear, and there were constantly baggage soldiers who were knocked over along with their shields and trampled to death by the war horses, and spears were knocked to break.

But there was no doubt that all the Rouran cavalry that crashed into the formation lost their speed, and they rode on horseback and slashed at the baggage soldiers below, but they were quickly stabbed to death by spears stabbed from both sides.

The dense shield array combined with the spear array blocked the strong impact momentum of the Rouran cavalry, but the first two rows of baggage soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, and the wounded and killed soldiers were quickly dragged to the middle by their companions to protect them, and the outer gap was quickly filled by the soldiers behind.

After the momentum of the Rouran cavalry's onslaught was blocked, their speed slowed down, and their formation became denser and denser.

Zhao Junsheng immediately issued a new order: "Bow, a hundred steps ahead, scatter freely!" ”

The flag bearer waved the flag.

Gao Xu got the order and gave the order to the archers: "Bow - a hundred steps in front of you, scatter freely, release arrows-"

"Whoosh ······" Arrows are denser and more lethal.

The angle of the archers' shots did not change, but the force of drawing the bow was reduced by half.

As the Rouran cavalry gathered more and more densely on the periphery of the formation, the more likely they were to be killed by arrows, and the casualty rate increased considerably.

The slower Rouran cavalry rushed to several passages, and the Rouran cavalry behind took the initiative to outflank the two wings, and they found that there were also several passages on the two wings and the rear formation, and they also rushed into these passages, trying to divide and surround the baggage troops through these passages.

The most effective way for the light cavalry to crush the infantry formation is to rush into the enemy formation and divide it back and forth, only in this way can the enemy army quickly break up, this is the common knowledge that all the generals who are good at using light cavalry know, and of course the Rouran commanders also know it, so they rushed into these passages according to their own experience.

If it is a passage that is forcibly rushed out, it is naturally normal, but these passages are actively retained by the baggage soldiers, which is different.

On both sides of the passage are solid shield walls, and the horses will not actively hit the shield wall, they will only continue to run towards the unblocked passage in front of them, running and running, and the crooked passage will slow down their speed.

Seeing that the last Rouran cavalry rushed into the passage, Zhao Junsheng stretched out his right hand and pressed it, the flag was played, and under Gao Xu's order, the archers stopped releasing their arrows.

Zhao Junsheng made another movement to close the door with his left hand, the herald waved the flag, and Gao Xiu and Xue An both shouted at the same time: "Close the formation!" ”

The eight passages were quickly closed, and the passages in the formation were also quickly separated by a large number of shields, and the Rouran cavalry trapped in the formation completely lost their speed.

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to make a chopping motion.

"Kill—" Spread with two loud shouts.

The soldiers in the formation threw out the ropes one after another, and the Rouran cavalry who lost speed in the passage were pulled off their horses one by one by ropes, and the cold light of a knife flashed, and the heads of the fallen Rouran soldiers were cut off.

Spears continued to pierce out from the gaps in the shields, and the Rouran cavalry on horseback were stabbed to death.

A large number of shouts and killings came from the array, and the screams came one after another.

There were skilled cavalrymen and small marshals who jumped over their shields and rushed into the baggage soldiers, but they were quickly surrounded, and several shields collided at the same time.

The war horse let out a terrible scream and was knocked to the ground, and the Rouran cavalry on horseback also fell, and before they could send it, a circle of spears stabbed at the same time, so that they could not dodge, and were stabbed into a bloody hole.

An Yuan, Gu Bi and others, who were watching the battle on the camp not far away, secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, they had seen the power of this military formation with their own eyes, as long as they entered the formation, it was like a turtle in an urn, and it would be difficult to rush out.

Zhizhong engaged in this time and said in one breath: "Now you can rest assured, don't think about coming out again if these Rouran people go in!" ”

Gu Bi shook his head and said: "That's what I said, but I still can't be careless, the dog jumped off the wall when he was in a hurry!" Did you see, some of those Rouran soldiers had already crossed their shields and entered it! ”

An Yuan said at this time: "It doesn't hurt in individual situations, as long as the formation is not chaotic, these Rouran cavalry will be eaten sooner or later!" Ben Shuai is worried about whether General Rouran will send the remaining cavalry to continue the attack, so that they will attack inside and outside, and they should cooperate with the outside, but they are afraid that Zhao Junsheng's baggage battalion will not be able to stop it! ”

"Chief, the situation doesn't seem good, the sons have been rushing in for so long, why don't you see the enemy army break up, and don't see the sons and daughters rushing out of the enemy formation?" A cronie Xiaoshuai said to Morton with some concern.

Morton also found that something was wrong, he had never encountered this situation, he had also fought many battles with the Northern Wei Dynasty, fought a lot with the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and attacked the infantry of the Northern Wei Dynasty a lot of times, but he had never seen this strange military formation.

Morton's expression changed, could it be that the thousand cavalry rushed in and were already trapped in the formation? If this is the case, someone must be sent to rescue, he immediately made a decision, and ordered to his cronies Xiao Shuai: "You immediately bring three hundred cavalry to attack, break their military formation, and rescue them!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Xiao Shuai agreed, and waved to the three hundred men behind him: "Rush over with me and crush their military formation!" Kill—"
