In the long history of the Han Dynasty, there has always been a fateful opponent, that is, the Xiongnu in Saibei.

The Han-Hungarian War, also known as the Han-Hungarian Hundred Years War, lasted from the early years of the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and experienced more than 130 years.

The Xiongnu were nomadic peoples, able to compete with the powerful Han Dynasty, and even in front of the powerful Emperor Wu of Han, largely because of their cavalry troops.

As for the cavalry raid tactics of the Xiongnu, in the land of Saibei, countless lessons of blood and tears were piled up, and the rulers of the Han Dynasty gradually summed up a set of the most suitable tactics, especially in the face of tactics such as small cavalry raids, Liu Xiu is one of them.

According to the information of the scouts, eighty percent of Wang Xun's troops were mainly light cavalry, which was why he was able to advance so fast.

The aggressiveness of the light cavalry has a strong lethality to a motley force such as the peasant rebel army, whether it is Wang Yi or Wang Xun or the strategists in their formation, they are convinced of this, whether it is the Green Forest Army or the Chung Ling Army or the Red Eyebrow Bronze Horse, they will definitely be torn apart by this vast cavalry lineup.

It's just that they didn't miscalculate two points, first, the peasant rebel army on the opposite side is not a rabble, they have the support of the Nanyang nobles, and the equipment is not very bad. Second, they faced extremely good enemy generals--- which are among the best in the entire history.

came to the front of the battle, Liu Xiu led the left army, Fu Jun, Zhu You, Zhao Hui, Liu Yan led the right army, and Liu Ji, Deng Chen, Ren Guang and other generals under his command. Ma Wu in the rear was responsible for the movement of battlefield materials.

After not fighting for too long, Liu Xiu was not nervous, but felt a little enthusiastic.

On Liu Xiu's side, at the forefront of the formation were more than 2,000 infantry regiments of Fu Jun, in the middle were more than 3,000 of Zhao Xi's Shengong battalion, and in the rear were more than 3,000 cavalry troops led by Ma Wu, as well as several cavalry troops led by Zhu You.

The two armies are separated by two arrows, and there are many swords, swords are tense, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

This is the vanguard of the new Korean army, 80,000 to 20,000, and the ratio of troops is four to one.

Suddenly, I heard only the sound of a vast horn on the opposite side, then the sound of gongs and drums gradually speeding up in winter, winter, winter, and then the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth like a thunderous version, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

Liu Xiu looked at the command platform, and then swept the scouts around, only to see colorful flags flying, signaling the enemy to move forward.

The enemy cavalry is dispatched, the battle begins, everything is moving towards the result of life and death at this moment, irreversible, the king is defeated, and if you are not careful, you will become a corpse.

The more afraid you are, the faster you will die, this is the absolute truth on the battlefield.

"Array!" Liu Xiu pulled out his long sword and shouted these two words in his loudest voice. The flag behind him makes the waving red flag flutter in the wind.

Red is Liu Xiu's favorite color and his lucky color.

"Order, array!" Fu Jun in front got the signal, and also shouted in a deep voice, his voice was high-pitched and loud, and the entire infantry unit immediately arranged the formation after hearing it.

Fu Jun's team was a heavy infantry unit, each wearing iron armor, a shield, and a spear. I saw the heavy infantry, which had originally formed a square formation, in units of twenty people, gathered into a round cover shape with shields, and stuck the tail of the spear into the ground, and the tip of the spear was out of the gap in the round cover.

In a short time, the heavy infantry of the front army turned into a hundred or so beetles, leaving wide gaps between them, as if countless steel fortresses had sprung up from the ground.

"Divine Bow Battalion, one arrow away, put it when you enter the range." Liu Xiudao.

"Order, Shenbow Battalion, one arrow away, two on the other, straight ahead, ready." Zhao Xi himself was born as a leading archer, and when he received the order, he probed the wind speed and made an order according to the actual situation.

The sky was full of dust ahead, and the sound of cavalry killing became louder and louder like spring thunder, and even the earth trembled.

Liu Xiu looked at the command platform on the Chinese army, and saw that Deng Yu explained what the flag soldiers were, and the flag soldiers nodded and raised the flag language, and the enemy army had already entered the firing range.

He took the small flag commanded by the command flag behind him, and began to command it himself, the battlefield was unpredictable, and it was necessary to change the battle, and a small mistake could lead to the defeat of the whole army. And Liu Xiu, relying on his genius military talent, constantly fine-tuned and changed according to the situation when he led the army, creating one miracle after another of winning more with less.

"Put." Liu Xiu shouted and decisively waved the red flag forward, signaling to release the arrow.

The information horse was uploaded to the front.

The enemy cavalry marched faster and faster, and in an instant it was within an arrow's distance.

"Put!" Zhao Xi said loudly.

Bows and arrows were fired at the same time, dense like a storm, and fell towards the enemy cavalry troops.

The arrows were downwind, as if they had flown to the highest point and then accelerated down, like the sword of heavenly punishment of death, nailed to the light cavalry of the new army.

This wave of arrow rain, directly led to the front of the cavalry troops fell a third, the entire cavalry phalanx collapsed into a pothole, people on their backs turned over, trampled on each other, many soldiers of the new dynasty just wanted to get up, were trampled to death by the cavalry later.

However, with the inertia of long-distance impact, two-thirds of the new army still rushed into the formation like a tide.

The tide met the rock.

At such a short distance, once the cavalry had launched a charge, there was no turning back. And the Han infantry changed their formation in such a short period of time, and after the cavalry of the new army rushed in, they found that they were not facing infantry, but "fortresses" one by one. ”

The cavalry of the New Army was like a turbulent flow that met countless rocks and was diverted, and spears were constantly piercing out of the "fortress", except for a few infantry phalanxes that were trampled and scattered by the cavalry, the other phalanxes were almost unscathed.

This is the Han Dynasty's strategy of warfare against the Xiongnu, which is the crystallization of hundreds of years of experience in blood and tears, and Liu Xiu has personally fine-tuned and slightly increased the gap between the shield detachments to deal with such a large-scale cavalry raid.

It can be said that this is Liu Xiu's personal modified version.

"The Divine Bow Battalion suppressed." Liu Xiu shouted, flapping his hands and directing the infantry at the same time. "Hold on ahead!"

Zhao Hui ordered that due to the protection of the infantry in front, the archers of the Chinese army did not receive the impact, and continued to rain arrows in waves with a stable attitude.

I saw that the 80,000 cavalry brigade of the new army was advancing more and more slowly under the consumption of bows and arrows and fortress arrays, and the dead soldiers and war horses in front were constantly trampled by the rear, and hindered the march of the rear.

"Front, enter." "The Chinese army, the Shengong battalion, advance." Liu Xiu looked at the command platform and learned that the enemy's attack had stalled, so he waved the command flag and gave two orders in succession.

I saw that the fortresses seemed to stand up, with shields in front and spears on them, slowly advancing forward, and advancing against the cavalry units of the new army, and the Shenbow battalion also moved forward and shot at the same time.

The new army could no longer withstand such firepower, and a large number of cavalry lost the courage to advance and began to flee backwards, trampling the infantry behind.

They retreated, Liu Xiu said mentally.

Looking at Liu Yan's side again, it seems that he has also resisted the offensive.

Liu Xiu handed the order flag to Deng Yu behind him, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "It's time for us to shoot, cavalry, follow me into the enemy formation!" ”

"Yes, Zhu You commanded!" Zhu You held a long knife, slapped the war horse angrily on the back of the knife, and shouted: "Kill it!" ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The sound of three thousand cavalry slaughtered the sky, like thunder and lightning.

Dare to take the initiative to attack, this time you will have no return, Liu Xiu said in his heart.
