With the attack from behind, the infantry of the Zhao army began to gradually become chaotic. And because the Liangzhou cavalry led by Li Yanzhao came out of the formation, it has formed a threat to the Zhao army infantry soldiers who surrounded Longxi, the Zhao army generals decisively ordered to shrink the front, looking at the Zhao army infantry soldiers who surrounded and approached him, they broke away from the battle, retreated and formed a formation, and the remnants of Longxi who were in the division and encirclement looked back in disbelief, and then hugged each other and cried with joy.

At this moment, the tide-like Zhao army retreated, and the tragic battlefield appeared in front of everyone. Even Li Yanzhao, who led the team out of the formation and still had a few feather arrows in his body, still felt shocked when he saw it.

Around the remaining remnants, the bodies of the Longxi soldiers and the Zhao soldiers were all over the place. Layered and densely packed, it makes it almost impossible to put your feet. Those exhausted Longxi pawns, with only their tenacious will, fought a bloody battle with the superior number of Zhao troops here. Of course, they themselves paid almost twice as much for this.

However, until they were divided and surrounded by the Zhao army, they were in a desperate situation, and their lives were hanging by a thread, but they still formed a small circle formation, and they kept fighting with swords. No one gave up resistance and defected to the enemy. This bloodiness alone is enough to impress Li Yanzhao with them.

After checking Feng Ding on horseback again and confirming that although he was in a coma due to blood loss, he was fine, Li Yanzhao couldn't help but sigh again. Feng Ding's subordinates, these Chen An's rest of the Longxi pawns, are really fierce pawns.

Now, as the Zhao army shrinks its front, the Liangzhou army's main formation is advancing step by step, ready to join the battle, and these remaining Longxi pawns can finally take a breather. Looking at the former robes that fell to the ground and died one after another, many of them cried loudly, venting the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe and the pain of losing their former robes.

However, as the Liangzhou army approached step by step, the generals in the front row of the Liangzhou army shouted orders, and the remnants of the generals in Longxi also quickly took these remaining subordinates away from the battlefield.

The grassroots generals of the Liangzhou Army have all witnessed the vicious battle of these Longxi remnants in the valley, and they also sincerely admire the Longxi soldiers who will not retreat. Therefore, even if these Longxi generals were ordered to get out of the way of attacking, the generals in the Liangzhou army still had admiration in their words.

However, on the other side, the Zhao army, which was still blocked at the mouth of the valley at this time, still failed to complete the goal of annihilating the Longxi pawns at a good time, and then was led by Li Yanzhao to come out of the cavalry, and at this time it was about to face the frontal attack of the Liangzhou Chinese army's main formation, and the frustration and vacillation spreading in the formation were already very loud.

Han Ning stood on the ox cart, the rapid drum beat suddenly became slow, and then with a heavy drum beat, this strong two-week elite had already stepped down with the drum beat, and then stood still. More than 3,000 elite Liangzhou soldiers calmly looked at the Zhao generals who were wandering and wavering at the mouth of the valley.

Seeing that the Chinese army had lined up and was ready to attack. Li Yanzhao took his remaining more than 200 subordinates, galloped on horseback, went to the rear of the large array, and acted as a rearguard force for the main force, in case the group of more than 100 Hun cavalry who had fled into the dense forest suddenly attacked and attacked the main position of his own Chinese army. Thus bringing unnecessary trouble to the Chinese army.

Seeing that Li Yanzhao led troops to protect the rear. The nearly 1,000 foot soldiers who had turned to guard the rear put down their guns and halberds one after another, obeyed the orders of their own officers and generals, and marched from the rear row to the front row in an orderly manner.

Han Ning saw that everything was in place, and the drumstick in his hand was raised high. Then he looked at the lieutenant general with the command flag next to him and nodded slowly.

The deputy general will also raise the command flag in his hand. With the dull and slow and extremely rhythmic drum beat in Han Ning's hand, the command flag in the general's hand quickly waved. When the foot soldiers in front of the Chinese army's main formation heard the sound of the drum, they turned around and saw the waving flags, and they all understood, and immediately divided into two halves from the middle, and ran in an orderly manner to both sides.

When these foot soldiers spread out to both sides, a phalanx wearing leather armor and holding a swarthy crossbow machine appeared in the Liangzhou army formation.

"Get on the arrow-" As the lieutenant general waving the command flag stopped what he was doing, and then shouted the order, the more than 1,000 soldiers holding the crossbow machine bent down in unison, stepped on the pedals at the front end of the crossbow arm with their feet, and then grabbed the crossbow string with both hands, pulled it back with all their might, and then hung it on the machine bracket. After the crossbow strings were loaded, the more than 1,000 crossbowmen raised their crossbow arms flat, and then pulled out a crossbow arrow from the crossbow pouch behind their backs and placed it in the groove on the crossbow arm.

More than a thousand three-edged arrows flashing with cold light pointed at the panicked Zhao army foot soldiers at Taniguchi. However, these more than 1,000 crossbowmen did not fire a single arrow, but calmly leveled their crossbow arms, aimed at the Zhao army at Taniguchi, and then quietly waited for the order behind them.

The lieutenant who held the flag turned his head and looked at Han Ning. Han Ning saw the uniform movements of these state officials, which was very pleasing to the eye, and his heart was also quite satisfied, at this time, he saw the deputy general raise the big flag in his hand, looked sideways at him, and waited for his order. He nodded slowly.

After the lieutenant general received the order, his right hand swung down vigorously, and then his thick order was already heard through the wind, spreading to every corner of this phalanx.

"Putting ——!" The command flag is waved down, and the deputy general orders it. More than 1,000 crossbowmen have deducted the crossbow machine in their hands. As the crossbow strings on more than a thousand crossbows quickly tightened and rushed forward, the crossbow arrows placed in the trench had already left the strings, intertwined into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and the three-edged arrows flashing with cold light flew towards the Zhao army's foot soldiers at the mouth of the valley.

The rain of arrows like flying locusts is already coming in an instant. Although Taniguchi's Zhao army was prepared at this time, the tight formation they discharged was still caught off guard in the face of this extremely destructive crossbow volley, and in an instant, only listening to the sound of arrows entering the flesh, nearly 100 people in the Zhao army's formation had fallen to the ground.

The soldiers of Zhao who were hit by arrows, some of them had several arrows stuck in their bodies, and they were killed instantly. Some of them fell to the ground with arrows, but they were still not dead, but they struggled desperately, trying to hide behind the Han Chinese foot soldiers who had set up their shields behind. Some of them were hit by arrows in the legs, and they were in pain and unable to stand and walk, so they had to crawl backwards with their hands desperately, and at the same time let out a wail that was not like a human voice.

For a while, the miserable howls that sounded one after another in the Zhao army's array added a bit of misery to this terrifying battlefield.

After the Liangzhou crossbowmen fired the first volley, they turned around and continued to pull up the crossbow strings, put on the crossbow arrows again, and waited for the order to shoot the next round. As the lieutenant general holding the command flag waved the order flag again, he shouted: "Let go——! The second wave of crossbow arrows left the string again, and they all flew towards the Zhao army's formation, continuing to harvest the lives of the Zhao army's sergeants and pawns without mercy.

Compared with the defenselessness of the first wave of crossbow arrow volleys, Zhao Jun at this time had already made some preparations for this fierce crossbow arrow volley. However, this salvo of crossbow arrows, although not as effective as the first one, still brought a lot of damage to Zhao Jun.

The Qiang warriors in the front row of the Zhao army, who had nowhere to hide, were shot dead and wounded again. The Han sword and shield bearers in the back row, although they set up shields to defend against death, were still shot by many crossbow arrows through the gaps between the shields and shot at the people behind the shields.

For a while, the Zhao army under the attack of two waves of crossbow arrows was already in an uproar. The warriors in the front row shouted and screamed in all directions, hoping to find a safe place for themselves to shelter from the rain of arrows. They all turned backwards and charged the Han soldiers with shields.

And the Han soldiers, in order to maintain the stability of the formation and battle line, naturally refused to let these Qiang warriors retreat into the formation. Under the push of the two phases, the third wave of arrow rain of the Liangzhou Army was already coming in an instant.

When the third wave of arrow rain ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Qiang warriors who were still outside the Han sword and shield array, the Qiang warriors who had been fighting for a long time were finally facing a state of collapse.

They originally fought hard with the Longxi soldiers, but they had exhausted their physical strength and fighting spirit in this protracted fight. At this time, in the face of the continuous rain of crossbow arrows and arrows of the Liangzhou army, these warriors of the Diqiang tribe, who were not very determined, were finally on the verge of collapse.

Seeing the comrades around them fall to the ground one after another, the pressure in the hearts of these Qiang warriors, and the shock brought to them by the wails of the Tongze people beside them who fell to the ground have reached a critical point that they can bear. They discarded their weapons one after another, and shouted something in nonsense. Then, ignoring the obstruction of the Han sword and shield soldiers behind him, they crawled over their shield array, and then fled to the back of the formation crying.

For a while, the collapsed Qiang warriors fled one after another. This feeling of defeat spread among the Zhao army's foot soldiers, and even a few Han soldiers followed the defeated Qiang warriors to the rear of the battle.

However, the Hun cavalry behind the battle, as well as the former army commander, were not soft on this. After killing dozens of defeated and fleeing Qiang people or Han foot soldiers, this trend of defeat and escape came to an abrupt end.

Just after that, the Liangzhou army still sent out the fourth and even fifth waves of arrows to the Zhao army infantry at Taniguchi. However, when the front row of Qiang infantry had been defeated and retreated to the rear of the formation, it did not cause much damage to the remaining Zhao army infantry who were strictly defending.

Despite this, the continuous rain of arrows still brought extremely huge psychological pressure to the Han soldiers in the Zhao army who were still struggling to support.

Listening to the sound of the Liangzhou soldiers' crossbow arrows constantly shooting aggressively on the shield in front of them, many Han sword and shield soldiers were chilling. Every time the rain of arrows hit, they cautiously poked their heads out, and then carefully observed the changes in the formation of the Liangzhou army.

However, to their disappointment, the formation of the Liangzhou soldiers has never changed. After a while, a neat rain of arrows struck the shields they held as accurately as the hour.

Under this powerful rain of arrows. The morale of the Han soldiers in the formation, who were holding swords, shields, and guns, also gradually fell to the bottom.

After the five waves of arrow rain passed, Han Ning raised his hands high, and then slowly beat the drumbeat of the march. The infantry of the Liangzhou Army, which had previously retreated to both sides, returned in a neat formation. When they formed an indestructible and stable formation in front of the battle formation, the Liangzhou army followed Han Ning's drum beat and slowly advanced towards the Zhao army at Taniguchi.
