Now in Liu Ji's border army, there are as many as fifteen generals responsible for commanding the foot soldiers, including Le Yi, Wu Liang, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guiben, Liu Pi, Gong Du, Han Tao, Mu Shun, Cheng Yuanzhi, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zou Jing, Zhang Shuo and Yang Hongtao.

After all, among the soldiers under Liu Ji's command, more than 5,100 infantry soldiers are the absolute main force, and Liu Ji also put most of the generals under his command into the infantry soldiers, in addition to Su Lie, Hua Xiong, Cheng Yi, Dong Xian, Lei Bo, You Tong, Li Fangliang, Yang Xiong, Cheng Lian, these nine generals led 1,300 cavalry under Liu Ji's command, Chen Hao, the top general, left Liu Ji by his side and became a personal guard.

When six or seven hundred Hu cavalry rushed over, more than 1,000 foot soldiers led by Le Yi, Liu Pi, and Gong Du blocked the front of the border army, and a large formation had already been arranged.

The first row of the infantry formation consisted of one hundred and fifty foot soldiers in iron armor with shields and steel swords in their hands, and behind the first platoon, there were six platoons of soldiers.

Originally, Liu Ji's subordinates were all military marquis, commanding all the soldiers, but after Liu Ji received the official document appointing him as a partial general from the imperial court yesterday, Liu Ji immediately promoted the official positions of the generals under his command.

Originally, Liu Ji was just a small captain, and the highest could only appoint the generals under his command as military marquis, according to the military system of the Great Jin Dynasty, 200 people were a song, a military marquis, and a thousand people were a part, and a school lieutenant and Sima were set up, the school captain was positive, Sima was the deputy, and Sima was the deputy of the school captain, and the school captain was not qualified to appoint.

Now that Liu Ji has become a partial general, he already has the power to appoint military generals under his command to lieutenants and Sima, and the official positions of these lieutenants and Sima have been recognized by the Great Jin Imperial Court, so Liu Ji has a total of 25 military generals, and all of them were promoted to lieutenants and Sima overnight.

Le Yi was appointed as the captain, Liu Pi and Gong Du became Le Yi's deputies and were appointed as Sima, and the more than 1,000 foot soldiers led by the three of them happened to be counted as one.

When six or seven hundred Hu cavalry approached the infantry formation led by Le Yi, Liu Pi, and Gong Du, about one hundred and fifty paces, Le Yi shouted: "Guard!" ”

In an instant, the 7 rows of soldiers in the infantry formation, more than 1,000 soldiers, all raised the rectangular shields in their hands, except for the first row of soldiers who put their shields up on their chests, the remaining 6 rows of soldiers all raised their rectangular shields, forming a protective wall overhead.

Immediately after that, the rain of arrows of the Hu cavalry fell, but basically they were blocked by the protective wall composed of thousands of rectangular shields, even if some arrows only passed through the gaps in the shields, and did not bring many casualties to the infantry array, only a few unlucky soldiers were shot and wounded, but the injuries of these soldiers were not serious, after all, the soldiers were wearing armor, these soldiers did not even withdraw from the infantry formation, and the protective wall composed of thousands of rectangular shields did not change at all under the threatening cavalry of the Hu cavalry.

The commander of the cavalry of the Lou Fu tribe saw that his archers did not bring any losses to the infantry formation of the Jin people, and he did not care, after all, he had fought with the border army of the Jin people for many years, and the cavalry of the nomadic tribes knew the way to break the turtle shell formation of the Jin people.

The commander waved the mace in his hand and shouted, "Kill! Smash the turtle shell of the Jin people! ”

However, while shouting, the commander controlled his horse to slow down, and instead let the other cavalry under his command rush in front of him and continue to kill the infantry in front of him.

Half of the six or seven hundred Hu cavalry in front of them were wearing armor and holding heavy weapons similar to maces.

In this kind of hard-fought duel, the mortality rate of the cavalry rushing in front was very high, so the cavalry commander of the Lou Fu clan, who was originally the leader, immediately gave up the desperate opportunity to the cavalry under his command.

When six or seven hundred Hu cavalry approached the infantry formation led by Le Yi, Liu Pi, and Gong Du, less than thirty paces, Le Yi, who was in the formation, shouted again: "Vertical wooden guns!" ”

Immediately, between the gaps in the shields in the hands of the first row of soldiers, wooden spears as thick as wrists stretched out, and these wooden guns were the secret weapons of the special cavalry that Liu Ji, Su Lie and Le Yi had researched.

This kind of wooden gun is about 4 meters long, one end is sharpened, the weight is more than 80 catties, and two people must cooperate to erect it at an oblique angle of about 40 degrees, and the 600 soldiers from the second row to the fifth row of the infantry formation instantly erected 300 long wooden guns, pointing at the Hu cavalry who are getting closer and closer.

The two soldiers in the second and third rows held a wooden gun tightly with their right arms, and the two soldiers in the front and rear of the fourth and fifth rows also held a wooden gun, so that the 300 wooden guns formed two rows, and the rectangular shields in the hands of the four rows of soldiers were still held above their heads with their left hands.

But at this time, the soldiers of the sixth and seventh rows put their rectangular shields on the ground, crouched down a little, picked up their bows and arrows, and put them on the bowstrings.

The distance of thirty steps is for the cavalry, it is just a moment, the cavalry of the Lou Fu clan saw the wooden spear erected, and there was no way to restrain the war horse or turn the direction, and soon the cavalry of the Lou Fu clan collided with the infantry formation led by Le Yi, Liu Bi, and Gong Du.

"Puff-puff-puff-" 300 wooden guns more than 4 meters long suddenly appeared, and immediately killed the Lou Fu cavalry by surprise, and many of the Lou Fu cavalry who were charging in front directly hit the top of the wooden guns, and were penetrated by the wooden guns, and even some of the wooden guns also penetrated two cavalry of the Lou Fu clan, like a string of sugar gourds.

Fortunately, the commander of the cavalry led by the Lou Fu clan slowed down the speed of his war horse when he finally charged, otherwise he would have to be dressed as a sugar gourd.

When the commander saw that at least thirty or more cavalrymen had died in an instant, he immediately shouted angrily: "Kill me!" Scatter them! ”

You must know that many of the warriors who rushed to the front were warriors under the command of this commander, and they were easily killed, and the anger of this commander can be imagined.

300 wooden guns more than 4 meters long not only brought a lot of casualties to the Lou Fu cavalry, but more importantly, blocked the charge of the Lou Fu cavalry, so that the remaining Lou Fu cavalry was suddenly pushed in front of the infantry array.

"Shoot!" Le Yi, who was in the infantry array, roared again, and then the archers in the sixth and seventh rows of the infantry formation stood up straight and shot the arrows in their hands at the Loufu cavalry who were close at hand.

After the two rows of archers had shot the first arrow, they crouched down a little, and soon drew the second arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, stood up straight and shot it again, and then the third arrow was also shot.
