Chapter 445: Forming a Formation to Defend Against the Enemy

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of the crossbow trigger was pulled, and in an instant, the barbarians who rushed down the mountain fell in large pieces. The hand crossbow of the Han army is still very sharp, and within a hundred steps, the cowhide armor can't stop the shot of the hand crossbow, let alone the rags on the barbarians.

After the crossbow was activated, the Han army put it in the pocket on the horse's back, and easily copied the horse chopping knife in his hand.

The barbarians were already close at hand, and the cavalry could not use the charge and could only use short blades in close combat.

What's more, many of the actual war horses were actually injured.

The barbarians' rain of arrows did not cause much damage to the Han knights, but there was still some damage to their horses.

Without the convenience of war horses, or in other words, there are only a few intact war horses left, and it is definitely impossible to escape at this time.

The fighting, the scuffle, became fierce in an instant.

Zhang Ren rushed left and right in the barbarian army, strangled the barbarian army with his hands, and tried his best to collect this soldier.

Seeing a famous soldier fall to the ground, Zhang Ren was very distressed.

These two thousand elite horsemen, but what about his Zhang Ren's headquarters!

"Go into the valley and form a formation of heaven and earth to resist the enemy!"

Zhang Ren issued a new directive in time. Then, under the leadership of Zhang Ren, the remaining more than 1,000 Han troops, riding horses and walking without horses, retreated while fighting, and soon entered the valley just now.

The terrain in the valley is more open, which is just convenient for the Han army to form a formation to defend against the enemy.

The so-called array of heaven and earth is actually a large circle formation.

On the periphery are layers of shield soldiers, which are mainly archers to defend against enemy troops; Then, after the shield soldiers, there are pikemen or halberders, whose spears and halberds, through the gaps left by the shield soldiers, can cooperate with the shield soldiers to block the enemy from charging into battle.

At the innermost part of the circle are several columns of crossbowmen.

Because of the shield guards, the innermost crossbowmen can shoot enemies outside the formation without any pressure.

This is the array of heaven and earth, taking the theory that the sky is round and the place is round.

On weekdays, the soldiers practice in the barracks, not only to practice killing skills such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., but also to practice various common formations, which must also be practiced frequently. Otherwise, on the battlefield, if the main general or military advisor wants to put up a formation, the soldiers don't know it at all, isn't it self-defeating?

Therefore, the formation or something, only if you practice a lot on weekdays, when you need it, can the soldiers quickly form a formation to resist the enemy!

Cavalry, after getting off the war horse, can also make elite infantry troops.

Yes, the battle array and the like, the two thousand horsemen under Zhang Ren are also very familiar.

……

Soon, the Han army formed a formation of heaven and earth in the valley.

I saw that several layers of round shields guarded the Han army's formation tightly, and between the round shields and the round shields, there were spears and halberds, and the spear blades flickered with cold light, and the murderous aura was fierce. In the middle of the circle, ten teams of crossbowmen were lined up vertically and horizontally.

To be honest, this Heaven and Earth Array was still a bit hastily arranged.

At the very least, the shield soldiers on the periphery should actually use tower shields and heavy shields.

It's a pity that the cavalry only carried a small round shield.

Fortunately, several layers of small round shields were superimposed on top of each other, barely able to protect the entire formation.

Just now, in less than half a pillar of incense, the Han army lost nearly half of the battle.

At this time, it is impossible to retreat, only by relying on the array of heaven and earth, can you block the barbarian army for a moment and a half, and wait for help!

Fortunately, the Han army is all elite, and they are elite cavalry when they get on the war horse, and they can also act as various infantry troops when they dismount.

In the middle of the formation, the crossbowmen had already held their strong bows in their hands, and the quivers were also carried behind them. Then, each archer is methodical and sticks their arrows into the ground next to them, which is convenient for quick access to arrows in battle.

The crossbow is also filled and placed within easy reach of the side.

A qualified archer, under normal circumstances, after firing a pot of arrows with the bow, his arms will be sore, and he will no longer be able to draw the bow and shoot arrows for a short time. Therefore, these hand crossbows are the last means of shooting for crossbowmen when they cannot shoot arrows.

Soon, the barbarian army followed and surrounded and slaughtered overwhelmingly.

In fact, when the Han army retreated to the valley to form a formation, there were barbarian troops who followed and pursued into the valley.

It's just that these barbarian troops who followed up the valley quickly tasted the power of the Han army's deployment: the crossbowmen in the middle of the formation, just two waves of arrow rain, sent the barbarian army in the valley back to grandma's house!

Then, the barbarian army blocked the front and back of the valley, and even the mountains on both sides of the valley were surrounded by barbarian troops.

With the barbarian army Zhuyu who was shot in front of him, the barbarians behind were a little hesitant and did not dare to enter.

Then they came to the Golden Ring and the Three Knots.

"What are you waiting for, kill it!" Seeing that the sons and daughters were hesitant and did not dare to attack, the golden ring sanjie said angrily.

"Big brother, the Han people's bows and arrows are powerful!" Dong Di said bitterly.

In fact, the Han army is not only powerful in bows and arrows, but also in swords, guns, swords, halberds, and so on.

Moreover, the skills of the Han army are also very good.

Just now, in less than half a pillar of incense in the battle, although nearly a thousand Han troops were killed by their barbarians, they were only afraid of more battle losses. Although it was not counted, judging from the corpses on the ground alone, it was very likely that the battle losses of their barbarians were more than three times that of the Han army. That's it, or just now I caught the Han army off guard!

Now that the Han army has formed a formation in the valley, it is even more difficult to gnaw.

……

"The bows and arrows of the Han people are powerful, so they won't besiege them?"

"There is only such a little Han army left, do you want to let them live?!"

The Golden Ring Sanjie shouted angrily, and commanded the barbarian troops surrounding both ends of the valley to kill into the valley.

"Kill them all for the master of this cave!"

"No matter how powerful the bows and arrows of the Han army are, how many arrows can they shoot a rain of arrows?!"

The Southern Barbarians are good at archery, and naturally they know that it is impossible for an archer to shoot too many arrows in a short time.

In the Golden Ring Sanjie, there are only a few Han troops in the valley, and there are even fewer archers. Even if these Han troops can shoot a dozen arrow raindowns, how many of their barbarians can they shoot?

surrounded the great cause of their southern barbarians, and surrounded him with the banner of the golden ring and three knots, and the battle damage was completely bearable!

Under the supervision of the Golden Ring and the Three Knots, the barbarian army began to pour into the valley.

Naturally, it is impossible for a small valley to accommodate more than 100,000 barbarian troops at once, but it is still no problem to accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 barbarian troops to besiege it. As a result, the periphery of the Han army's military array was surrounded by barbarian troops.

At this time, the crossbowmen in the array were already in a hurry, and they felt a little unable to shoot.

There were too many barbarian troops besieging and killing, and with only their four hundred crossbowmen, they were really inexhaustible!

Fortunately, the shield soldiers and spearmen were very powerful, and many of the brute soldiers who surrounded them hung on the spears and halberds. If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
