Cheng Yin didn't expect that this thousand heavily armored cavalry was so powerful, and the soldiers under his command were scattered, fleeing in all directions, and they had no power to resist at all.

He watched from a distance, not daring to approach the battlefield at all.

Cheng Yin had no preparation for the heavy infantry in advance, which enabled the Han army to dominate his camp.

Xu Huang led the soldiers to use the bonfire in the Xiliang camp to burn the Xiliang camp.

For a while, thick smoke flew up, and the fire reflected in the sky.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Huang sensed that enemy reinforcements were coming, and it was not advisable to stay for long, so he ordered the soldiers to gradually retreat.

Cheng Yin could only stare dryly, watching Xu Huang lead the heavy infantry into the night.

When Li Dao and Ma Teng led the reinforcements to arrive, it was too late to catch up.

"What are you waiting for? I've heard that there are only a thousand sneak attackers! There were 10,000 armies in the camp. If the enemy army is like this, the army of Wuxi Liang will not have to fight with Liu Fan! ”

After Han Sui arrived at the battlefield, he directly scolded Cheng Yin.

"The non-last general is incompetent, and the enemy infantry is heavily armored and invulnerable. They rushed and slashed, and our army was defenseless, so they were defeated! ”

Cheng Yin lowered his head and said to Han Sui.

"Humph! Excuses, heavy infantry is cumbersome, and there are many ways to deal with heavy infantry. The army is tired all day, and it is late at night, and it cannot be stopped, and it is all your responsibility. ”

Guo Yan seized the opportunity and counted Cheng Yin.

"Thou shalt not ......"

As soon as Cheng Yin gritted his teeth to refute, he was interrupted by Cheng Gongying: "This is the enemy's tired strategy, don't be fooled."

"If the enemy keeps harassing us, what should our army do?"

Li Dao asked Cheng Gongying.

"The hoplites were easy to deal with, and set traps at the gates of the camp and prepared spears. Next time, I will leave it behind. ”

Cheng Gongying opened his mouth and replied to Li Dao.

"Liu Fan's defeat is irreversible, I see what tricks Liu Fan has in place."

Han Sui spoke.

Cheng Yin's guilt is just lip service, and he will not pursue it. He felt more and more that Li Dao and Guo Yan had some conspiracy.

Liang Xing died and Yan Xing left, and now Cheng Yin is his right-hand man, the number one general.

"Those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety, and everything is better to be careful! The enemy garrison here will be a capable man. He is very difficult to deal with. I can't guess what he's going to do, so be careful! ”

Cheng Gongying reminded Li Dao, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo Yan and others.

"Why bother? Let's think about how to break through Black Eagle Ridge first! This is the way that stands in our way. ”

Li Dao opened his mouth and said to everyone.

"After today's battle, Black Eagle Ridge must have killed and wounded more than half of them. I think I can take Black Eagle Ridge tomorrow. ”

Someone said loudly.

Ma Teng yawned, shook his head to himself, and prepared to return to his camp, I don't know what it means?

Although Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De led elite soldiers over the mountains and mountains to attack Liu Fan.

However, he couldn't take the Black Eagle Ridge and couldn't break through the mouth of the pot where Xu Huang was stationed.

Even if the sneak attack is successful, it will be surrounded. It is equivalent to spending effort and taking a good move in vain.

After the Xiliang commanders left, the Xiliang soldiers strengthened the barrier again.

and dug ravines and traps to guard against the Han army's ironclad infantry.

The next day, early in the morning.

After the Xiliang soldiers had eaten and drunk enough, they once again launched an attack on the Han army in Black Eagle Ridge.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Alliance Army who attacked Black Eagle Ridge were still 5,000, and another desperate struggle began......

……

On the border of Anding County and Tianshui County, on a wilderness in the middle of Longshan Mountain.

It's not like the battlefield where Xu Huang is located. The mountains are separated from each other.

gave Liu Fan the opportunity to fight in a large-scale field.

With the observation and temptation of the Qiang and Di tribes again and again, the threat of Zama nails to the Qiang and Di cavalry has decreased a lot.

The reason is that most of the Zama nails carried by Liu Fan were destroyed by the Hu cavalry. There is no longer a chance to cast a large number of zama nails.

There were 50,000 cavalry of the Qiang and Di tribes, 20,000 cavalry infantry under Liu Fan, and 20,000 Shandong recruits.

The recruits in Shandong are all infantry, and letting them face the elite cavalry of the Qiang and Di tribes alone is no different from looking for death.

Therefore, 20,000 cavalry and 2,000 guards are Liu Fan's main force against 50,000 Hu cavalry.

If it is 20,000 cavalry, replaced by Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's subordinates, Liu Fan is very confident.

However, the Han army's cavalry was used as infantry before. Although they all know how to ride and shoot, they have little actual combat experience.

Facing the Hu people who have been sitting on horseback for half his life, Liu Fan is still very cautious.

The area where Liu Fan is stationed is different from other places. There is no danger to defend here, and it can be attacked by thousands of troops at any time.

The hour is over!

After many attempts, the Qiang and Di cavalry finally attacked the Han army.

When Liu Fan got the news that ten thousand horsemen were stepping on the dust and running towards him, he did not choose to retreat in the camp to defend.

Instead, the camp was abandoned, and the infantry and cavalry were arranged together in a "one-word" long snake formation.

Since Liu Fangang commanded this army, he had no run-in with this army. It is also impossible to arrange difficult formations.

The long snake formation is relatively simple among all formations, and it is more effective in this situation. Liu Fan plans to deploy this formation to defend instead of attacking.

Under Liu Fan's orders, a team like a long snake was soon formed.

The long snake formation is divided into three parts, the snake head, the snake body, and the snake tail.

Liu Fan arranged 20,000 Han infantry as snake bodies. The head and tail of the snake are 10,000 cavalrymen respectively, serving as the two wings of the snake's body.

The two wings of the long snake formation, with cavalry, is also the most suitable.

Liu Fan set up the Chinese army behind the snake body of a long snake formation, guarded by 2,000 dragon sparrows.

Liu Fan constantly passed the order flag to the various departments, so that the soldiers of the various departments strengthened the formation.

More than 40,000 soldiers and horses were set out in this way, stretching from one side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain, which was very spectacular.

After the Qiang and Di cavalry arrived at the place where the Han army was arranged, they discussed with each other and prepared to attack the Han army's infantry.

Compared with the cavalry of the Han army on both wings, the Han army, which acts as the belly of the snake, seems to be easy to bully.

50,000 Hu cavalry, stepping on the pace of shaking the ground and mountains, rushed towards the Han infantry.

20,000 soldiers and horses, although they were all recruits. But their Sima and lieutenant are veterans.

The enemy rode in, and shields were erected in front of them.

Spears that were too long to reach were pressed against the shields.

The shields were followed by crossbowmen, and then thousands of men spread their bows and arrows, staring at the dust flying in the distance.

At this moment, Liu Fan began to command the soldiers to operate.

There are three variations of the long snake formation.

Hit the head of the snake and move the tail. Roll with a strong python.

Hit the snake's tail and make the first move. The python opened its bloody mouth to bite.

The snake body rampage, head and tail together, twisted!

Now the Qiang and Di soldiers are going to attack the snake body, and Liu Fan is about to order the cavalry on both wings to surround it.

Liu Fan knew that the Long Snake Formation might not be able to win, but as long as he won first and delayed time, he would definitely win.
