That shallow and simple "chasm" was not drawn casually, it was a distance that could ensure that the longest-range crossbow arrows carried by the Eighth Route Army could effectively play their functions. The place where Ye Jichuan was immediately at this moment was the intersection of the crossbow arrows in the hands of the cavalry who were ambushed on both wings, and a few crossbow arrows in this position could kill the big leader of the Ye Ji family.

No matter how strong he was, it was difficult for Ye Jichuan to dodge and block the seven or eight arrows that came from both sides.

However, Zhi Yuqing couldn't order Ye Jichuan to be sniped to death on the spot......

He has never understood why Li Wenge always likes to describe the tactical action of long-range shooting as a "sniper".

Obviously, Ye Jichuan wanted to play the trick of "speaking before the battle". Many Han generals also like to play this kind of trick, Zhi Yuqing doesn't know what to do with this scene if his brother-in-law who is so cool that he is about to become an iceman is replaced, probably the young man of the Yang family who is so proud that he doesn't even need joints for bones will not hesitate to go forward to see what tricks this enemy general on the opposite side wants to play - I really don't know how Yang Xin, who has three anti-bones on his head and has to change the door almost every month, could give birth to such a son with barbs all over his body, However, Zhi Yuqing, who has always been cynical and accustomed to tricks and tricks, never disdains to do such things that seem meaningless to him.

He waved his hand, pressed his palm down, and a row of crossbow arrows shot out on the left and right wings, but they didn't shoot people.

Eight crossbow arrows landed in front of Ye Jichuan's horse, stirring up a little dust, which frightened Ye Jichuan on the horse.

This warning was obvious enough - this Han army didn't bother to talk nonsense at all, and after Ye Jichuan's face changed several times, he gritted his teeth and galloped back to his own team.

Since there is nothing to say, let's talk with swords and arrows!

With Ye Jichuan's series of orders, the forward composed of more than two hundred Ye Jijia cavalry slowly spread out in the valley, forming a fan about three hundred steps wide.

Subsequently, this fan began to pounce in the direction of the Yanzhou coalition army......

Less than 800 paces away. There was already enough space for cavalry to accelerate.

Although the Yejijia cavalry was not suitable for this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the experience of the battle of Huai'an taught these nomadic warriors that such an impact was enough for these poorly armed and poorly armored enemy troops. As soon as the two sides start a white-handed battle. It won't be long before these enemy forces collapse.

If Ye Jichuan is cautious enough, he will find a commanding height to climb and conduct a minimum visual assessment of the enemy before attacking. In that case, no matter how well Yu Qing hid the main force, Ye Jichuan would not be able to see any clues.

It's a pity that Ye Jichuan is a little anxious, what he needs most now is to quickly eliminate the interference of this foreign army, his goal is not Yanzhou, but the north gate of Gyeongju, which is Guo Yanqin's compromise.

So the two hundred or so cavalry pounced nakedly, and for the well-prepared coalition army, it was tantamount to hitting their bare chests and slamming them into the knife.

The reason why Zhe Yuqing chose ten trees as the battlefield. It was because the terrain of this valley was flat and suitable for the cavalry to accelerate, but the width was too narrow for the cavalry to detour to the wings.

For well-trained infantry. Unarmored cavalry is not terrible in face-to-face combat, and the headache is that these cavalry diffuse around their own battle formation. Two legs could not catch up with four legs, and the enemy was able to attack himself but not the enemy, and this was the most frustrating thing for the infantry.

The veterans of the Zhi family who were lined up on the front line by the Zhe Yuqing all had a malicious smile on their faces, while the Di Huaiwei infantry hidden behind these Zhe family soldiers were a little nervous......

After all, this was the first time that the Yanzhou infantry had fought head-on with the enemy cavalry. Even a veteran of the sand. It is inevitable that the palms of the hands will be sweaty. And those recruits who have not yet been on the battlefield are even more nervous at the moment.

Soon. The Yeji cavalry crossed the "chasm".

With a whooshing sound of breaking through the air, dozens of arrows rushed towards the Ye Ji cavalry at a ninety-degree angle from both directions.

Immediately, there was a neighing of horses, and the seven or eight horsemen in front of them either dismounted, or were dragged forward by the horses with arrows in their bodies. Even if the soldiers who dismounted were not dead, they were soon drowned in the smoke and dust stirred up by the hooves of their own cavalry. The midline was only slightly confused, and then the impact formation was restored.

The crossbow bolts on the left and right flanks lasted for a while, and then fell silent.

The loading and winding of crossbow arrows is very time-consuming, which even a dirt bun like Ye Jichuan knows very well.

The cavalry array, which was like an angry wave, had already spread out nearly five hundred steps of impact frontal at this moment, facing the murderous rush of the coalition infantry lined up.

As long as the enemy's infantry line is torn apart, these Han troops will only be left with the fate of being divided, if they don't escape, the main force of the Ye Ji family army that rushed up will eat them piece by piece.

Just when these cavalry were still three hundred steps away from the Han infantry, as the banner of Zhe Yuqing waved, the five infantry formations of a battalion of the Zhejia Army standing in the front row of the coalition army suddenly moved.

The two infantry teams on the left and right suddenly spread out to both sides in units, moving in line and line by line very regularly, their speed was not fast, almost the speed of walking, did not run, but the cooperation between each other was very tacit, tithe and tithing were staggered, and the connection was seamless. The charging Yeji cavalry was almost deflected by the enemy forces moving towards the flanks.

When a soldier is charging, the less he thinks, the better, he only needs to keep his eyes on a certain enemy, rush up and kill him, and then go to find another target - this is the law of individual combat on the battlefield, not to mention the era of cold weapons, that is, after entering the era of hot weapons, the shooting objects of infantry are also changed one by one. All tactical instructors will ask their soldiers to aim at an enemy first, take him down and then move on to another target.

The warriors are not generals, each of them must find a fixed target for himself, and it is impossible for them to target the entire enemy army alone.

The results of the battle are one by one, so the soldiers must kill the enemy one by one, which is the law that must be followed in any war - except for nuclear war.

The soldiers of the Ye Ji family had originally chosen their own targets.

But now that the targets were moving, so did the eyes and attention of the warriors.

The hands that control the reins of the horses unconsciously exert force, and the direction of the horses gradually shifts.

The cavalry, which had been evenly dispersed, gradually began to concentrate on the two wings.

Ye Jichuan noticed this strange change. He hurriedly shouted the command, ordering the officers and nobles in the lead to gather their men, all of which came down to one order - to storm the front of the enemy, not the flanks.

This Han army actually dared to make such a bold formation change when its cavalry was still three hundred paces away from its own front. The commander of the opposing side is if not a madman. That's a complete idiot.

The most fearful thing for a soldier on the battlefield is to show his flank to the enemy whenever possible. Each soldier will do everything in his power to secure his flanks. Unless they are experienced enough veterans on the battlefield, they will instinctively respond when the flank is facing the enemy's front. Only this kind of battle-hardened warrior who is accustomed to bloodshed can make correct and unhurried formation movements based on his accumulated feelings of experience on the battlefield for many years, dispel his sense of fear, and make correct and unhurried formation movements.

If Ye Jichuan could know that he was facing a group of unarmored Zhejia troops on the opposite side, he would definitely re-examine the enemy's actions of changing formations in battle, such a crazy move, and only the Zhejia Army, an army that killed generals in the sea of corpses and blood, dared to come out with such a big stab. At this moment, Di Huaiwei's department, hidden behind the Zhejia army, will definitely not be able to make this kind of formation change, facing the enemy head-on, which has already made these Yanzhou infantry very nervous, not to mention showing their flanks to the enemy to attack?

The first important military principle that the instructors and team officers have always emphasized during the training on the Wind Forest Mountain is that the opponent's flank must be chosen at all times to attack. Don't give up your flank to the other side at any time.

Although the movement speed of the Folding Army is not fast, it does not stagnate. In the blink of an eye, the five rows of infantry had all withdrawn to the two wings, and more than two hundred people were inclined to the periphery of the two wings of the Yeji cavalry.

The forward of the Ye Ji family was chaotic for a while, and in the sound of people shouting and neighing, some of the cavalry who couldn't react rushed to both sides with the folded soldiers, while some of the fast and agile ones gathered up their formation and rushed towards the front again.

The last group of soldiers retreated to the flanks. Ye Jichuan's pupils suddenly contracted. The hairs stood on end, and a cool air ran from head to toe. At that moment, his fingers almost froze.

Behind those unarmored lazy walkers - there are like a forest of spears.

A capital of infantry, lined up in four rows, each row of five soldiers, dressed in fine scale armor, armed with a long pole wooden spear, standing solemnly.

Seeing the fine scale armor on these soldiers, even the most stupid Ye Ji cavalry realized that something was wrong - this was by no means the equipment that a local armed force should have, even the most elite infantry of the Central Plains Dynasty, the armor was nothing more than that.

Behind those unarmored scattered soldiers, there was such a well-equipped infantry.

At this moment, the cavalry was no more than thirty to forty paces away from this infantry.

After nearly a mile of acceleration, at the speed of cavalry, this distance was almost in the blink of an eye......

The sab-wielding cavalrymen were scrambling, and some were picking up the bows and arrows they were carrying behind their backs—they thought they would be useless, but now they thought it would be good to shoot even one arrow before the engagement.

Fools know that in front of armored and gun-wielding infantry, it is difficult for unarmored cavalry to bargain for anything.

The neighing of warhorses sounded......

Ye Jichuan closed his eyes in pain.

Although the warriors of the Ye Ji family are not as experienced as the soldiers of the Tuoba family, they are human beings after all, and they always have rational judgments, with the impact speed at this moment, as long as they rush up, the other party is only an infantry formation of a hundred soldiers, and it is not impossible to be torn apart. After all, the momentum caused by the speed of the cavalry is an important advantage.

It's a pity that people can make rational judgments, but animals can't.

In the face of Rulin's spears, the mounts of the Ye Ji family warriors instinctively chose to turn and slow down......

The cavalry behind continued to accelerate, but the cavalry in front was slowing down and turning, and there was such chaos in a small space, and there was no suspense about the consequences......

Fortunately, the formation is very spread. Although there was chaos and collision, it did not affect the overall situation.

It's just that the cavalry rushing in the first row was completely unable to control the panicked horses, and these brutes, who had an instinctive fear of sharp objects, almost unanimously chose to turn at the moment of engagement. Exposed himself and his master's defenseless, fragile flanks to heavily armed enemy infantry.

With Di Huaiwei's hideous "kill-". The twenty-five infantry of the Eighth Route Army in the first row did not hesitate to stab the wooden guns in their hands.

The enemy troops scattered in front of the first row were no more than seven or eight men and seven or eight horses.

Shoot once. Five enemy cavalrymen fell limp in front of the formation, and their men and horses, at least with three wooden spears.

The enemy cavalry blocked the friendly troops rushing up from behind, and the resistance of the men was limited, but the horses were stronger, and these beasts with two or three bloody holes on their bodies screamed and flew around in front of the formation.

The Yanzhou infantry who succeeded in the first platoon also had some heart palpitations for a while, but the strict training on weekdays showed its effect at this moment, and these people's wooden guns almost did not hesitate to drop back after firing. Twenty-five soldiers in the second row strode forward, iron scales and armor clanging. Twenty-five more wooden spears came up.

Hardly any of the twenty-five infantry in the first platoon were wounded, and they quickly withdrew to the rear of the array, where the twenty-five soldiers of the Zhejia Army, who had already been prepared, quickly handed over the wooden guns in their hands, and at this moment, a loud "kill--" came from the front.

In an instant. The Yanzhou infantry has completed a full team rotation.

Four infantry were cut by enemy horsemen. Three were killed instantly by enemy soldiers who fired arrows from behind, and one was wounded by a raised horse's hooves. The rest of the five people were hit by arrows, but they were all shot at the parts protected by the armor, and the arrows were very shallow in the flesh, which basically did not affect the combat effectiveness.

More than 30 soldiers of the Ye Ji family died in front of the battle, the blood flowing everywhere stained the yellow earth, and the corpses of war horses and cavalry were piled up in front of the infantry array, forming a bloody horse rejection ......

On both flanks, the Ori soldiers were already engaged with the enemy.

Hand-to-hand combat, the difference between the children of the Zhe family and the Yanzhou infantry suddenly appeared.

The Yanzhou infantry is obviously inferior in individual ability, each attack is fired in a unit, and there are always five people to stab at an enemy, so there is basically no blind spot for attack, each attack is bound to work, and there are very few wounded under his men - very few people can still be killed after being stabbed four or five times with men and horses. But correspondingly, the attack efficiency is not high, a platoon of twenty-five people, one attack can kill five or six enemy soldiers, but because of the well-trained, in the continuous retreat, the fallen enemy army retarded the speed of their own impact, so several kills and wounds, the frontal enemy army is already very weak.

The Origa's army is completely the opposite, these unarmored Zhejia veterans are extremely agile, and the scattered enemy cavalry must keep facing these infantry head-on on a relatively wide ground, which seems to be very difficult, and no one dares to put down their sabers to take the bow and arrow on their backs in short-distance battles - that is to seek death, especially in the face of these extremely strong offensive veterans, as long as there is a slight gap, they will flash to their sides and stab the wooden guns in their hands.

Although there was little coordination and formation, the fighting spirit of these Fold troops was extremely strong, and the innate fear of the infantry in the face of cavalry did not affect them in the slightest, they always ran around and dodged, and if they were not careful, they would look at the gap to the enemy in front of them from the side.

In the eyes of these warriors who were accustomed to seeing blood, the cavalry of the Ye Ji family was really not enough.

The Fuzhou soldiers were born to face the threat and attack of the Khitan and the Dangxiang Iron Cavalry, and they were born to struggle to survive under the threat of the cavalry. In their hearts, the primal fear of cavalry had long been tempered by the experience of the battlefield where life and death had wandered many times, and for them, there was nothing terrible about these unarmored cavalry.

Running, moving, and always facing the enemy head-on, this is the only tactic of the infantry against the cavalry.

The maneuver disadvantage of the infantry over the cavalry became especially prominent only after giving their back to the enemy.

Perhaps all the infantry in the era of cold weapons was defeated by cavalry in this way.

However, Fuzhou has never been captured in the face of the two strongest cavalry of this era, and the reason is very simple, the soldiers of the Zhijia army will never turn around in the face of the enemy's cavalry.

The Battle of Yinzhou was almost contracted by the Yan'an regiment, so the Zhejia soldiers had almost no chance to go into battle.

Today, in Ten Trees, the soldiers of the Zhijia family used their actions to educate the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who faced the cavalry for the first time in a field battle, and the speed advantage of the cavalry was not unbreakable in front of the brave enough infantry soldiers.
