After a brief standoff, the left flank of the Hun cavalry split into a hundred horsemen and swooped down from the embankment under the leadership of a centurion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThey first drove their horses for a jog and waited until they were about a hundred paces away before they accelerated. Even on the river, the speed of the horses does not slow down, and it does not seem to be affected by the ice.

"Hu Lu is really equestrian!" Han Hu stood beside Zhang Jun and sighed when he saw this: "The speed has not decreased, it is obviously a habit." ”

Zhang Jun also took a breath of cold air and said: "Fortunately, there are other precautions, if you only rely on the ice surface, I am afraid it will not be enough to force the Huns to dismount, and the consequences are unpredictable······

The Hun cavalry gradually approached, and seeing that the Liang army was well defended and there were no loopholes, they turned their horses' heads and ran back and forth, constantly throwing arrows with bows and arrows.

"Ding, ding, ding!" The scattered arrows fell in the formation and hit the helmets and iron armor of the Liang army, but did not cause damage. Occasionally, an arrow shot through the outer armor and was blocked by the second layer of chain mail inside. It's just that the soldiers in the front row have more arrows, and some even have seven or eight arrows stuck in their bodies, like hedgehogs.

"Steady!"

"Steady!"

"The Hun dog can't help us, don't move!"

"Death to those who dare to mess up!"

Generals and colonels at all levels shouted one after another to prevent any soldiers from moving and disrupting the military formation.

However, the more than 600 people under Zhang Jun's command are no longer what they were when they first came out of Guangwu, and this little battle still can't frighten them, they are still as stable as Mount Tai, and the army is neat.

When the 100 Hun cavalry saw that the projectile was ineffective, they kept running outside the formation and scolded in blunt Chinese, trying to provoke the Liang army.

However, the Liang army was indifferent in the face of provocation, but it seemed that the Huns were very funny.

"After pouring so many holes, why don't you step on them?"

The three men under the curtain were arranged at the end of the group with the craftsmen, and they were mainly responsible for taking care of the wounded because they were weaker. Suo Sanjie has been busy with people for so long, and the ice caves under the cloth are dense, but if no one is tricked, he is still angry.

"Hugh has to say more, the equestrian skills of the Huns are not ordinary, and they will avoid it when they see it." Song Peidao.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Huns, who were running back and forth, were suddenly lifted off their horses and fell on the hard ice with a "plop", falling all over their faces. Looking at their mounts, they also fell to the ground and wailed. The horse's legs were neatly disconnected, and the thick leg bones exposed sharp white stubble, and blood sprayed directly.

"Hit!" Suo Sanjie shouted happily.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

Seeing this, Liang Jun shouted in unison.

The Huns did not expect this to happen, and the team suddenly scattered, and in an instant, seven or eight horsemen were hit.

At this time, the vigorous and short sound of the horn sounded from the Hun cavalry formation on the other side of the river, and as soon as the centurion greeted, some cavalry dragged the wounded brother on his horse and retreated.

Immediately after, another muffled horn sounded, and it seemed that a general was shouting something, it should be a pre-war mobilization. I saw that more than 500 people on his right flank dismounted one after another, simply formed a phalanx under the river embankment, and marched slowly. The cavalry who had just returned together with more than 400 horsemen, divided into two teams, one left and one right, followed behind the infantry formation.

"It's a goose-shaped array!" Han Hu said in a low voice: "The enemy will use soldiers. ”

Zhang Jun didn't know the military formation, but he was no stranger to the goose-shaped formation. As far as the eye can see, the Huns are indeed like geese, coming slowly.

The so-called goose-shaped formation is actually a battle formation that is spread out horizontally and the left and right wings are arranged forward or backward. Forward is a "V" shape, the wings can be used to outflank the detour, but the rear defense is weaker; If the two wings are more mobile cavalry, then when stationary, they can get the protection and support of the infantry in the center, and can give full play to the power of the attacking cavalry to increase the suddenness.

The application of the goose-shaped array is not uncommon in the history of ancient Chinese warfare, and even foreign military wars are often used. For example, when Alexander was engaged in the battle in India, he attacked in a formation similar to this, and he was invincible, and he beat Ah San without the slightest temper.

"What should I do?" Zhang Jun frowned and asked.

"Don't worry." Han Hu said with relief: "We are lined up near the river, we already have a good location, plus the ice cave and the tree barrier in front, Hu Lu is not so easy to lean over." ”

Zhang Jun nodded and ordered: "After entering the firing range, shoot it with a bow and crossbow first, and then use a spear and a big shield to defend it." When his sharpness weakened, he ordered Hu Shuo to lead his own army to break the enemy! ”

No one could remember exactly when the battle began, as if a battle broke out in an instant. When the Huns marched forty paces away, Liang Junping shot feather arrows, like a torrential rain on the flat ground, and fell into the enemy formation with a "bang". The Huns did not plunder the Liang army for more than a month, they only had a layer of armor, and the application of iron armor was not much, most of them were mixed with leather armor and iron armor, and the protection was not strong. In the face of a crossbow cavalry forty paces away, even if you wear iron armor, you can easily get hurt.

(In ancient times, the definition of a "step" was different from that of modern times.) When a person takes a step, it is called a step; But in ancient times, one step was a step, and a step was a two-legged step. The ancient step is the current step, and the ancient step is actually the modern two-step. So, how far is one step? During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, most of them used the weights and measures of the Wei and Jin dynasties as the standard, that is, "five feet is a step", and one foot is about 24.5 centimeters in modern times. So, the distance of one step is about 1.3 meters or so now. Forty paces away, that's 52 meters away. ）

Sure enough, the screams continued to sound, and more than two dozen Huns were shot in the vital point and fell to the ground at once.

But the professionals have a strong tolerance for the battlefield, and this damage does not stop them from moving forward. Soon, the Huns formed a formation, and under the command of a general, they also shot back with a cavalry bow.

The bow force of a riding bow is generally slightly weaker than that of a walking bow, after all, people exert force differently on horseback than when standing on the ground. The more than 100 cavalry who had just come to test had already tried the protection of the Liang army, so the Huns could only fire a volley when they were thirty paces (39 meters) away, hoping to break the turtle shell of the Liang army!

Seven or eight unlucky soldiers were wounded by armor-piercing shots, and soon the craftsmen stepped forward and carried them to the back. This injury is still within the scope of Zhang Jun's acceptance, and he believes that even if he is injured under the protection of the nouveau riche, it will not be too serious.

There were only three arrows in front of the enemy, and as soon as the rain of arrows fell on both sides, the Huns roared in unison and rushed up with a long sword.
