In a long snake formation, the mobility of the cavalry on both wings is the most important.

If you want to crack the long snake formation, you must limit the maneuverability of the two wings, so that the python can't look at each other.

Therefore, the best way is to pinch its head, clip its tail, and cut its waist!

But the generals of the Qiang and Di cavalry did not understand the formation and did not know how to do it.

By attacking the belly of the snake, they gave up the opportunity to attack both flanks. It is also to ignore the opportunity to break the formation.

"Boom ......"

The sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth.

If anyone can climb up and take a look, they will find that the Xiliang cavalry is everywhere.

"Sons, defeat the Han army, capture Liu Fan alive, the house is full of gold and silver, and there are herds of cattle and horses."

The Qiang leader shouted, and the coalition army began its final charge to the Han army.

"A house full of gold and silver, and a herd of cattle and horses."

The Hu soldiers all echoed, great temptation.

The house is full of gold and silver, and there are herds of cattle and horses, which is the hope in the hearts of every Hu people.

In their eyes, they were all Han troops deployed hundreds of paces away. They wanted to break the Han army and get huge booty.

When the Hu cavalry was only one hundred and fifty steps away from the Han army.

The crossbowmen and archers, who had been brewing for a long time, released their arrows together.

A crossbow shoots straight at a bow and arrows are thrown.

Arrows flew into the air, obscuring the sky and the sun. When the arrows fell, they wounded a large part of the Hu cavalry.

But just like that, it can't stop the offensive of the Hu people at all.

When the Han infantry released three rounds of arrow rain. The Hu cavalry charged in front of the Han army.

They also swung their bows and arrows into the Han army's formation, and then began to charge at full speed.

One by one, the walls of shields were erected over the wilderness.

Between the shields and the gaps between the shields were spears several feet long.

The Han infantry was commanded by Xu Chu, who hid behind their shields and waited for their moment.

Suddenly, the Hu cavalry struck.

The Han army hurriedly used their spears to stop the impact of the Hu cavalry.

"Poof......

"Poof......

The sound of blood splattering, and many of the Hu people's war horses were stabbed by the spears hidden by the Han army.

After the war horse fell, the Hu soldiers also fell to the ground one after another.

The momentum of the impact on some fronts has changed from slow to stopped.

Some of the Han troops who were rushed out of the gap immediately filled the gap to prevent the rest of the Hu cavalry from taking advantage of the loophole.

The 20,000 infantry of the Han army and the 50,000 Hu cavalry of the Xiliang coalition army were at a disadvantage as soon as they fought each other.

One side is just a newly organized recruit, and the other side is an elite Hu cavalry who is good at riding and shooting.

Not to mention the fact that one side is cavalry, and the other side is infantry. 50,000 on one side and 20,000 on the other.

Even if Xu Huang equipped them with a large number of bows and arrows, it would be useless in the face of the raging iron horse.

Half an hour, just half an hour.

This new army has been defeated, and the Hu cavalry seems to be about to drive straight into Liu Fan.

Liu Fan's Long Que Wei is also ready.

"Don't be born in the middle of nowhere, if you continue like this, you will die! Listen to my orders and form a phalanx to meet the enemy's cavalry! ”

Xu Chu held a large Mo knife, smashed a person and a horse with one knife, and shouted loudly. He's still trying to make amends.

He stepped forward and wielded the Mo knife alone.

Dozens of Hu people rode and saw that Xu Chu was brave and invincible, and they all rode horses to besiege.

Xu Chu roared, fearless!

"Poof......

With a swing of the sword, several people dismounted.

The rest of them all stabbed Xu Chu with spears.

Xu Chu clenched the Mo knife with both hands, gritted his steel teeth, slashed left and right, and when Xu Chu slashed, everyone was broken!

In a moment, these dozens of horsemen all died under Xu Chu's knife.

After receiving Xu Chu's order, the Han infantry no longer blindly resisted.

Hundreds of soldiers gathered together to form small phalanxes.

Each army is located in the center of the formation, and the outer forces are deployed layer by layer, with bows and arrows inside, and spears and shields outside.

Form a phalanx with no flaws on all sides. The whole body is like a hedgehog, so that the Hu cavalry has no way to start.

The phalanx has a dense formation and strong defense, but due to the dense formation, it restricts maneuverability and lacks changes, and it is difficult to pursue the enemy when it retreats, and it has almost no ability to take the initiative to attack.

Laying out the phalanx was the worst plan of Liu Fan's plan, and it had already violated Liu Fan's original intention. It has a big impact on the next attack, but it is a last resort.

A phalanx was formed, but Xu Chu was dragged by the Hu cavalry and couldn't enter the phalanx at all.

Hundreds of elite infantry of the Han army went to support Xu Chu and fought side by side with Xu Chu.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Han army's snake head and snake tail arrived.

The cavalry on the two flanks were well connected, but the snake body was broken. It was impossible to surround the 50,000-strong Hu army as originally planned.

In the wilderness, more than 40,000 soldiers want to surround 50,000 people, which is indeed a bit wishful thinking.

"This king himself is in battle! This king wants to see which soldier in the army is more brave today! ”

Liu Fan was wearing heavy armor, holding high the overlord halberd, and rode the ink unicorn down the battlefield, followed by Dian Wei and other fifty dragon tooth guards and two thousand dragon bird guards.

He was ready to go and fill the vacancy in the infantry.

"I'll kill an enemy first, and I'll sacrifice the flag!"

Liu Fan divided the dragon bird guard into four teams and distributed them on the battlefield.

He himself led the Dragontooth Guard to gallop down.

The ink qilin is still vigorous, and he shuttles through the hosts with his master, as light as flying.

Liu Fan held the overlord halberd, ran a mile, killed dozens of people, and all those who were in his way dismounted.

No one is one of their enemies.

There are red-clothed and black-armored dragon tooth guards to protect each other, and if the Hu cavalry does not organize a formation and attacks scattered, it is by no means an opponent.

Along a slope, the ink unicorn galloped down, and the Hu people were invincible.

Yihu will shoot his bow at Liu Fan.

Arrow out!

Liu Fan smashed the flying arrow with a halberd, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the ink unicorn turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the Hu general in Xiliang.

Before General Hu could run a few steps, he was caught up by Liu Fan and killed with a halberd.

Seeing that Liu Fan and Dian Wei were brave, the generals of the Qiang and Di cavalry immediately ordered the three-way cavalry to surround Liu Fan from three sides.

Liu Fan immediately gathered the Dragon Tooth Guard, and fifty people from the left and right attacked with him.

There were more than 1,000 Hu cavalry surrounded on three sides.

Liu Fan led the dragon tooth guard to gallop back and maneuver with the surrounding Hu cavalry.

Liu Fan's prestige was like that of the Son of Heaven, he personally put on armor and went into battle, and charged into battle, so that the Han infantry began to disperse the phalanx and counterattack.

Those who use spears stab the beard above the horse, and those who use short soldiers crouch down and cut off the horse's legs.

The Han army gradually surrounded the Hu cavalry.

However, this encirclement looks very fragile.

The leader of the Qiang cavalry and the leader of the Di cavalry also wanted to win through this battle, so they did not break through. They are still convinced that they will not lose.

Because the Han cavalry that came from both wings did not suppress the Hu cavalry, but was suppressed because the number was inferior to the Hu cavalry.

The long snake formation should be like a giant python attacking, attacking fiercely, but at this moment, it is not satisfactory.

When Liu Fan was fighting, he glanced at the battlefield and felt that there were two reasons why the Long Snake Formation could not defeat the Hu people.

First, the Hu people are all cavalry.

Second, the number of soldiers and horses is not as good as that of the Hu people.
