Gao Ran patted his horse to greet him: "Since General Xu is so interested, let me accompany him!" ”

The main generals of both sides were killed directly, and the army behind could still stand and watch, only to see a prominent general in the Cao army ordering loudly: "The whole army covers the kill!" ”

"Kill!"

A bloody battle began.

Returning to his position, he greeted Hou Cheng and Yin Li, and led five hundred men to kill the enemy's spearmen.

"Array!" Yin Li gave an order, and both the archers and the infantry all stood up as required and moved forward. This is a compulsory training item in the Jingzhou army, no matter which army, the subject must be followed, that is, in order to cooperate at any time, and I have not cooperated before, and I know where I should stand and what I want to do.

Three rows of large shields, followed by spearmen, and archers stood at the rear. Originally, in order to prevent a sneak attack, the archers still needed a team of infantry to escort them, but this battle was not advantageous in numbers, and Yin Li canceled this. That is, they can only advance, not retreat, unless they defeat the enemy.

Gao Ran saw Zhang He returning to the battle, and the Jingzhou army did not charge neatly at the same time, but divided into three battle formations of different sizes, and suddenly felt a little ominous in his heart, but Gao Ran was pressing step by step, and the steel gun in his hand was even more inseparable, making it difficult for Xu Huang to take care of it at all.

Xu Huang had already guessed what the Jingzhou army must have, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Gao Lan, it seems that you want to eat Xu, then it depends on whether you have the ability!" ”

Gao Ran blocked Xu Huang's big axe with one shot, and said with a sneer: "Lan is bent on seeking advice, and I hope Gongming will not hide it!" ”

Seeing that Gao Ran looked unhurried, Xu Huang believed that the Jingzhou army had some conspiracy, and he was suddenly a little anxious, and the tricks in his hand suddenly became ruthless, and the big axe in his hand became even more powerful.

The big axe is a relatively heavy weapon, every move is boundless, split, chop, smear, smash, hold, intercept, etc., the dance looks rough and heroic, can show the majestic posture of splitting the mountain and opening the mountain, the power of each move is very strong, a little careless, you will die on the spot, Gao Ran also immediately hit the spirit of twelve points, and single-mindedly cut the opponent under the horse.

The big axe is powerful, the spear is dangerous, the two of you come and go, and soon it will be more than ten moves, and they will kill each other equally, so it is not exciting.

The axe wind and gun spirit, rampant in all directions, within five zhang around, five people dared to enter, but anyone who fished in troubled waters and attacked the enemy general was killed by Yu Wei, and after four or five people died, everyone understood that this kind of war was no longer something they could participate in, and they turned their heads and killed other soldiers of the enemy army.

Let's say that Hou Cheng and Yin Li led thousands of lunges to kill the cavalry on the left flank of the Cao army, and the cavalry generals of the Cao army also happened to value this group of men and horses, and the two sides immediately glared at each other angrily and tried to charge.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is the flexibility and strong ability to assault the formation, in the face of the small flexibility of the bow infantry is a significant advantage, the cavalry general of the Cao army is the cavalry captain Wang Cai, seeing this situation, laughed and said: "Sons, charge me, cut the enemy and break the army!" ”

"Kill!" The cavalry shouted, and immediately rushed forward.

"Stop!" Yin Li roared, and suddenly the whole army stopped, and the three rows of shield soldiers were even more half-squatting, stabilizing their center of gravity, and glaring at the enemy army who were rushing wildly.

"Defense!"

The enemy army had entered five hundred steps, Yin Li roared again, and the whole army completely entered the battle state, staring at the enemy and taking a deep breath, holding the weapon and the big shield in his hand tighter.

"Bow ready!" Hou Cheng commanded the archers and immediately ordered all the archers to draw their bows and arrows, and draw their bows into a full moon.

The two generals command a team, it depends on the degree of tacit understanding, it is generally a taboo to prevent confusion in command, but Gao Ran can only make dangerous moves this time, after all, the original generals can control their own men and horses freely, and swing like arms. Fortunately, after the siege battle, the whole army has gone through a bloody battle, and all the sergeants have been trained, and the tacit understanding is very high.

Hou Cheng's eyes stared at the distance of Cao Jun, and without blinking, just when the front of the cavalry led by Wang Cai had just stepped into three hundred steps, Hou Cheng immediately roared: "Release the arrow!" ”

At the same time, he himself suddenly pulled out the strong bow in his hand and shot an arrow.

Suddenly, a thousand archers, a thousand arrows fired in unison, like locusts to break through the air, the cavalry in the front row of the Cao army was suddenly hit by arrows, and the powerful impact knocked the enemy down from the horse, once it fell to the ground, it was trampled by the war horse behind in an instant, and there was basically no way to live.

Therefore, all the cavalrymen who were hit by arrows tried their best to hang themselves on horseback, but not everything was in their own hands, and the arrows were shot wave after wave, and there were even five or six unlucky arrows in their bodies, and they couldn't stabilize if they wanted to, and they fell directly. Some of the horses were crazy with arrows, and they directly lifted the riders on their backs off the horses, and rushed the battle array next to them, and for a while, blood splashed, human corpses, horse corpses, lying all over the place.

"Shoot! Give me a hard shot! Hou Cheng encouraged the sergeant again. Although there were many cavalry of the Cao army that fell, after all, there were a lot of people and the speed was fast, and if they could shoot a few more people, they would reduce their own losses by a few people, and no one would keep them at the moment.

Hou Cheng's arrow was aimed at Wang Cai, but Wang Cai's riding skills were exquisite, and the arrow rain in front of him was approaching, so he immediately blocked the spear in his hand left and right, and the dance was impermeable, all of which were stopped, but at the moment when the first wave of arrow rain had just stopped, a fatal arrow trailing behind all the arrows instantly passed through the gap in his somewhat relaxed spear and hit the arrow.

"Ahh Damn it! Wang Cai screamed in pain, looked down and saw that the arrow had already been submerged in half of it, believing that the back had come out of the bones, and his own martial arts would inevitably be half useless, which made him hateful.

"Throw guns!" Hou Cheng smiled slightly, and gave the order again when the enemy army reached fifty steps.

I saw that all the archers put away the bows and arrows in their hands, but they clenched the short spears that had been prepared for a long time. The length of these short spears is one-third shorter than that of ordinary guns, which is exactly what Liu Yong suggested according to the shooting method of the Western Liang cavalry that he knew, but considering the strength of the archers and the preparation time, the length was reduced by one-third to reduce the weight.

Just when Wang Cai thought that he was close to the enemy's battle formation and there was nothing to stop him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and more than a thousand short spears suddenly flew out from the enemy formation in front of him, instantly piercing into the bodies of countless cavalrymen or war horses.

Wang Cai couldn't believe that in just 300 steps, a thousand cavalry had lost nearly half, which had never been done before a thousand, especially in the last wave of spears, his own men and horses lost more than 200 people, and there were also people who were blocked by the fallen war horses in the front row, and suffered heavy losses.
