Although the distance between the two armies was still a few miles, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves had already reached Yuan Tan's ears, and the ground under his feet obviously began to tremble, just like the roar before the earthquake came. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhang Quan, why is this, why did the cavalry also send out?" Yuan Tan said in surprise.

Feng Ji was also shocked, his eyes rolled, he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Taking 10,000 foot soldiers out of the battle, it looks very shabby, at first glance, it looks like an egg hitting a stone, Zhang Quan is bluffing." ”

Yuan Tan suddenly realized, "I see"

Zhang Quan immediately crossed his sword in front of the battle, and there were 20,000 soldiers behind him, holding their breath one by one, waiting for the battle.

"Pass on my military order, Hua Rong led the foot soldiers to camp in the center! Gao Changgong led 5,000 cavalry to the left, Niu Gao led 5,000 cavalry to the right, Long He commanded Tiefutu, and Luo Tong commanded the Yulin Army in the middle! The soldiers and horses of the three routes listen to my orders and prepare to charge! ”

"No!"

Gao Changgong and Niu Gao received the order together, and then separated on both sides like a "human" shape. Gao Changgong and Niu Gao each carried spears, whistled in unison, and each led 5,000 horsemen to follow the Chinese army. The three troops maintained a "pin" formation and advanced with a sweeping momentum. Everywhere he went, dust was raised in the sky.

Hearing that Zhang Quan's army was approaching, Yuan Tan held the sword on his waist and led 10,000 of the most elite soldiers to meet the battle in the center.

"Boom ......"

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and there were only five hundred zhang left from the Yuan army's crossbow phalanx.

"Iron Float Slaughter Charges!"

Zhang Quan carried a three-pointed two-edged knife and wore a golden chain armor. Wearing a dark red cape. Wielding a broadsword, he calmly gave the order.

The army got the order, quickly got out of the way, the black and breathing Iron Floating Tu was shown in front of the enemy for the first time, Long He looked coldly at the Yuan army who was waiting to hide behind the rejection of horses and fences on the opposite side, behind him, five hundred Iron Floating Tu horses swept in, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the sound was terrifying.

Long He knew that the most critical moment for cavalry to infantry was at the moment of hand-to-hand combat, as long as the cavalry could be rushed into the advance phalanx, the next thing needed to be done was to cut melons and vegetables and harvest human heads.

But before the hand-to-hand encounter, it was the most dangerous moment for the cavalry, and it was also the moment with the heaviest casualties. Even if the infantry is a lamb. will also fight hard, not to mention that the enemy army has already prepared, and the cost of casualties is inevitable!

But at this moment, the dragon was not worried at all, the Iron Floating Slaughter was fully armed, and from the outside, even the people and horses were wrapped in pitch-black armor, except for the eyes and nose, there was no trace of the horseman exposed.

A good cavalry commander should lead the charge first, break through the opponent's defenses, step into the enemy's formation, and the balance of victory will tilt. Long He is such a fierce general, and he is even more confident in his martial arts.

"Boom ......"

The iron hooves roared, and the distance between the two armies was only four hundred zhang.

"What kind of monster is this?" Yuan Tan, Feng Ji, and Wen Chou all took a breath in unison, and turned their heads to look at each other in surprise.

In addition to the black, it was still black, but the momentum made the three of them shake together, and they could smell a bloodthirsty breath from a distance.

Feng Ji was a little nervous, and asked anxiously: "Eldest prince, did you order the arrows to be released?" ”

"Bluff! Wait! ”

Yuan Tan clenched the sword in his hand and ordered in an unquestionable tone. I haven't seen that, seeing that the formation is only a few hundred people, I want to mess with myself, delusional!

"Boom ......"

Tiefutu was only three hundred zhang away from the Yuan army's crossbow soldiers' camp, and the hand of the Yuan soldier, who had already trembled with the sound of heavy horses' hooves, trembled slightly, and the dragon charging at the front became more and more clear.

"Archers shoot on their backs!"

Yuan Tan held his sword high. The first order was given.

With the order of the commander, the three thousand longbowmen in the crossbow phalanx turned their backs to the sky one by one and fired a round of upward fire. Arrows rained down from the sky in an instant. Fell into the body of the Iron Float.

"Jingle ......"

Suddenly, the crunch of arrows hitting the armor sounded in the wilderness like hail hitting an iron basin. It's like a hail falling at the turn of spring and summer or autumn and winter.

Although the distance of the bow and arrow shot from the back is long, the lethality is very average, and its main role is not to kill and injure the enemy, but to slow down the speed of the charge of tens of millions of iron cavalry. If the enemy's iron cavalry rushed into the infantry camp at the fastest speed, it would be a disastrous consequence, even if it was not necessary to cut and kill the knights on horseback, the trampling of thousands of iron hooves alone was enough to inflict huge casualties on the soldiers of this side. The real purpose of the archers' upward fire was to slow down the cavalry's charge.

Three waves of continuous upward shooting, tens of thousands of feather arrows fell from the sky, landed on the armor weapons of the Iron Floating Tu, emitting a rapid metal impact, and the sound of "clanging" all over the mountains and fields came and went. Under the melodious horn and the majestic drum accompaniment, it is like a battlefield "breaking song".

Tens of thousands of arrows poured down and were stunned that they didn't hit a single cavalryman, Yuan Tan was shocked, his eyes were wide open, it was incredible, what the hell is this? Yuan Tan was stunned, his mind was blank, and he really couldn't figure it out, there were still things in this world that couldn't be shot by arrows.

"The longbowmen stand back, ready to resist their horses!"

Yuan Tan was blinded, but Wen Chou was still there, and seeing that the enemy monster was about to rush up, Wen Chou raised his horse and whipped and shouted urgently.

The so-called horse rejection gun is a long spear tied together, shaped like a fence. A large number of spears were strung together. The head part of the gun is fixed with a bamboo pole, and the tail part of the gun is fixed with a bamboo pole, so that a horse rejection pistol can be formed. It is also called the "Horse Rejection Wall". The defenders hid in the distance and pulled with a rope. It will stand up at a forty-five degree angle, and the sharp spear head will be aimed at the galloping iron cavalry, which is the most effective weapon against the cavalry. It's a pity that Yuan Jun didn't think about sending cavalry to charge the battle at all, how could he prepare so much in a hurry.

Seeing that the black torrent was getting closer and closer, and the rejection of the horse was still not in place, Wen Chou knew that it was too late, and shouted, "Stand up the shield!" ”

"Ho-ho", the half-human-high shield quickly formed an impermeable long wall behind the fence, and a long halberd with shining light drilled out densely along the gap, like a poisonous snake spitting blood-red core.
