Nearby, northwest corner, at the exit of a hidden trail.

"I didn't expect this group of sneaky dogs to be so tough. Squadron B (Wang Song's squadron), which had good strength, was directly routed with a single charge. This time, we have to rely on Brother Su's strong crossbow team to intercept Hu Gou. A certain Liu Cun was willing to obey Brother Su's command. After learning that Wang Song and the others were easily defeated by the Hu people, Liu Cun, who had just rushed over to support, said very politely to Suning next to him. It is equivalent to ceding command to Suning.

For Liu Cun, relinquishing command is also a helpless move. In terms of selfishness, although Liu Cun also belongs to the Huainan Liu family, his family belongs to the collateral lineage and is not the main branch. And the Suning in front of him is the elder brother of that person, and he is an authentic relative. On the public, after the loss of Squadron B, although the main force of Liu Cun's light cavalry is still there, its vitality is greatly damaged. If it weren't for Suning's strong crossbow team to help. They are the Hu people who will never be able to stop this attack. If this Hu Qi is allowed to go deep into the interior, the consequences will be unimaginable, and at that time, he Liu Cun will also become a sinner in Xixiang.

"Then Su will be disrespectful." Suning was not modest, but responded politely and said. The most taboo thing to do in a war is that there is no unified command. Otherwise, it will be easy to be broken by each one. Now that the situation is urgent, the Hu people may attack at any time, and Suning can't take care of it.

But to be honest, Suning's mood was still a little nervous at this time, after all, this was his first battle in Xixiang. And as soon as he came up, he had to command such an important battle. If the battle is defeated, the whole of the world will be in danger. Originally, he was ordered to go to the city to garrison, but he didn't expect to meet a messenger sent by Wang Song to ask for help on the way, and Suning also knew that the situation was urgent, so he rushed over with his subordinates. happened to meet Liu Cun, who also led troops to support, on the way. As soon as the two sides joined forces, they marched together. At the exit of the trail, I happened to encounter the rout of Wang Song's squadron.

"Brother Liu, I'll set up a concave formation to deal with Hu Gou later. Brother Liu's subordinates have a large number and are responsible for guarding the two wings, while Su's subordinates, although they are small, have a strong crossbow in their hands and are responsible for guarding the middle road. What do you think? Suning said to Liu Cun dividing the task. Saigo's crossbow team isn't just equipped with crossbows. The Xixiang strong crossbow team is composed of more than 80 kick soldiers, more than 30 arm soldiers, and more than 50 spear and shield soldiers who are specially used to protect the crossbowmen. Equipped with more than 40 crossbows (crossbows generally need to be controlled by two people. ), more than 30 arms open crossbows. It is specially used to deal with the light cavalry of the Hu people. With separate combat capabilities.

Although Liu Cun took the initiative to relinquish command, Suning knew that this was just a concession that Liu Cun had to make because of the form. Suning also knew that if he commanded Liu Cun as a 'newcomer' in Xixiang, he would command Liu Cun in a grand manner. As the 'old man' of Xixiang, although Liu Cun may not have changed on the surface, he will definitely have a lot of small bumps in his heart. Suning, who is old and sophisticated, can't offend Liu Cun for this trivial matter. As a result, the plan of 'partitional defense', which did not hurt Liu Cun's self-esteem, was proposed by Suning.

Sure enough, when this plan was proposed, it was immediately approved by Liu Cun. At the same time, Liu Cun's favorability towards Suning is also rising linearly. If it weren't for the fact that the current situation does not allow it, Liu Cun would have wanted to pay homage to Suning.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Yu He and his men walked over slowly. Stop a short distance from the exit of the trail. Looking at the Xixiang Army in the distance, Yu He smiled and waved his hand. More than 100 horsemen rushed out. The road at the exit of the trail is much wider and easier to walk than the mountain trail. Although it is still a little narrow-minded, it is already able to allow the cavalry to launch an assault.

"Prepare your crossbow. One hundred and sixty paces ahead of the target. Looking at Hu Qi, who was slowly rushing over, Suning, who commanded the battle, ordered. After hearing Suning's order, the soldiers sitting on the ground quickly adjusted the shooting angle according to the usual training method. There was no tension from the first war.

When Hu Qi reached one hundred and sixty steps, Suning immediately shouted: "Wind! ”

After hearing Suning's order, the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger. More than forty bolts flew out quickly. Set off a bloody storm in Hu Qi. Not only does the crossbow have a long range, but it also has a very strong lethality and penetration. Even though they are more than 160 steps apart, their lethality is still undiminished. Both the Hu people and the war horses were directly shot through, and more than a dozen Hu riders fell at once. Not only that, but these Hu cavalry who were shot also tripped several nearby comrades who were not good at riding. Falling in the ranks of the cavalry that was charging would be absolutely lifeless. The horses of the comrades-in-arms who followed will definitely trample these unlucky eggs who have fallen off their horses.

"Quick! Hurry up and get on the crossbow bolts. After this wave of crossbow arrows was fired, Suning didn't look at the results, but immediately yelled at the soldiers.

Although the crossbow has a long range and is extremely lethal, it also has shortcomings. That is, it takes too long to reload again. The pull of the crossbow is super strong, except for the fierce men who are perverted in the armor. Ordinary people can't pull the crossbow string with their hands at all. You have to use the strength of your feet. This is also the reason why the warrior would sit on the ground and draw the string and shoot the crossbow arrow.

Under Suning's training, the speed of Xixiang's Zhang Shi pulling the crossbow arrow on the string is already fast enough. But when the warriors finished loading their crossbow bolts again and were ready to fire. Some of the horsemen had already rushed out of the trail exit.

"Prepare the crossbow, target eighty steps, and quickly adjust the angle." Suning hurriedly ordered.

"Wind!" Then Suning roared.

Adjusting the angle, after receiving Suning's order, the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger. More than forty crossbow arrows were fired. However, Suning's target this time was not the Hu Qi at the front, but the Hu Qi near the exit of the trail. The terrain near the exit of the trail is relatively narrow, and after more than a dozen Hu riders fell at once, it was actually a little blocked. After the Hu Qi who was galloping behind was tripped and fell a few times, the remaining Hu Qi could not rush out at all. This directly cut the charging Hu Qi in half. However, the more than 20 Hu riders who rushed to the front didn't know the situation behind. They were still speeding up their horses and rushing towards Suning.

"Keep winding the crossbow, take aim with the crossbow open! Spearmen and shieldmen form an anti-cavalry formation. Looking at Hu Qi, who was getting closer and closer, Suning, who was commanding the battle, continued to order.

After hearing Suning's order, the spear and shield soldiers at the forefront of Suning's army formation immediately formed a dense wall formation to defend against the Hu cavalry who were charging towards them. The arm-mounted soldiers who were hiding behind the spear and shield soldiers also raised their arms and crossbows flatly, aiming at the Hu cavalry in front of them. The arm tension crossbow is easy to operate, and the speed of the crossbow arrow on the string is also faster than that of the tension crossbow. At the same time, it also has a certain amount of power and armor-piercing ability. However, its range is a bit awkward.

"Wind!" When Hu Qi rushed to less than fifty steps away from the military formation, Suning immediately ordered.

Immediately after that, the arms and soldiers immediately pulled the trigger in their hands. More than thirty crossbow bolts flew out. After the shooting, the arms of the soldiers immediately retreated under Suning's order. Although the winding speed of the arm crossbow is relatively fast, the Hu ride is faster. There is no time left for them to pull the strings and bolts again. Staying here will only add to the chaos.

After being attacked by the arm Zhang Shi, the Hu cavalry who was charging fell by about ten horses. But the remaining dozen or so Hu Qi became even more crazy. They came down and stabbed their beloved horses in the strands with their knives. The speed of the war horse was accelerated, and the final death attack was launched against Suning.

More than 10 30 Hu cavalry VS more than 50 Xixiang spear and shield soldiers. The impact lasted only a moment. In the end, Yu Xianhu failed due to the small number of people. Many Hu people, even men and horses, were stabbed into gourds by Xixiang's dense gun array. However, the Saigo spear and shield soldiers were not happy, and more than a dozen Saigo spear and shield soldiers were either killed in battle or knocked unconscious, completely losing their combat ability. Hu Cai, who was charging head-on, for these young spear and shield soldiers (these spear and shield soldiers are all newly recruited, and there are no veterans. It's still too hard. Although these Hu cavalry are just ordinary herdsmen's cavalry.

Looking at the dead Hu cavalry who had fallen in front of the spear and shield array, Suning exhaled a long breath. He was really afraid that these spear and shield soldiers who had just completed their training would not be able to withstand it. At that time, he would rather be embarrassed.
