Yu Ban didn't know the situation of the cavalry of his own army that was the first to fight with the infantry of the New Han Army, and in his mind, he felt that even if the New Han Army was strong, it would not be stronger than the cavalry impact of his own army, right? Therefore, after the hand-to-hand encounter, the chaotic battlefield situation did not allow him to observe the combat situation of his army's cavalry at the first time.

Therefore, the large array of the Chinese infantry army led by him also rushed forward at this time, and soon rushed to the front of the Chinese army of the New Han Army.

In fact, the generals of the Cao army knew very well that when they fought against the military formation of the New Han Army, they had to find out clearly at the first time and find out whether the New Han Army was carrying heavy weapons. Because they have had enough of the heavy weapons of the New Han Army.

For example, the trebuchet of the New Han Army and the bed crossbow with great lethality in the plains.

This time, the scouts sent out by Yu Ban have already explored very clearly, this New Han Army is the vanguard of the New Han Army, basically all of them are lightly armed, and after a long journey, the lone army has gone deep, and it has opened a long distance with the army behind it. In terms of time, it is enough for them to finish this battle, and the follow-up army of the New Han Army has not yet arrived, and maybe, they still have time to slowly clean up the battlefield, and the main army of the New Han Army may arrive. Yu Ban hoped that after this battle, he wanted to leave the corpses of the New Han Army all over the place for the follow-up New Han Army army to collect the corpses.

At this time, Cao Jun, indeed from top to bottom, was all holding his stomach, and finally seized such a good opportunity to dominate the outnumbered, under the situation of taking advantage of the time and place, everyone felt that this battle. They won.

Therefore, Cao Jun's people were indignant. Everyone rushed forward like a chicken.

And at this time, when the Cao army began to charge the New Han army. Qin Jie got rid of the solo fight with Li Dian and retreated to the ranks of the Chinese army early.

He stared at the Cao army who came from the Chinese army calmly, but he didn't pay too much attention to the left and right wings of his military formation, because he was very confident in the "silver armor iron soldier" that he had carefully built and sharpened his sword for ten years, and he knew that his sword and shield soldiers on the left and right wings would definitely be able to defeat the cavalry of the Cao army for himself, and he would never let the Cao army's cavalry enter his own Chinese army array.

He was carefully watching the situation of the Cao army's battle formation, and it would take a very short time. Analyze and figure out how to deal with Cao Jun's rush and kill.

After observing for a while, Qin Jie's resolute face that did not smile unnaturally revealed a hint of a smile.

If it is against the enemy's cavalry, then unexpectedly let your sword and shield soldiers deal with it, so that you will definitely get unexpected results. And what if it's the pikemen of the enemy army? What about archers? Of course, there didn't seem to be many archers in Cao's army, and they didn't even see any archers rushing forward with Cao's army. In some subconscious, take the initiative to attack the enemy. Most of them rarely have archers charge at the enemy. Today's Cao Jun is such a situation.

Or, Cao Jun had already discovered that Qin Jie's military horses were mostly sword and shield soldiers. felt that the bow and arrow did not kill the New Han Army very much, so he did not plan to use the archers to fight the New Han Army first.

In fact. It's also a very embarrassing thing to do right now. Everyone knows the power of the archers of the New Han Army, any princely power. If they shoot with the New Han army with bows and arrows, it will definitely be a loss. Basically, there is no possibility of taking advantage of the New Han Army. Based on this situation, the average army that fights with the New Han Army will subconsciously think about making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and try not to fight with the New Han Army with bows and arrows.

If possible, try to get as fast as possible in front of the New Han Army, and engage with the New Han Army in short combat, so it depends on who is stronger. If they shoot with bows and arrows against the New Han army, they will only waste arrows in vain, and they will not even be able to touch the figure of the New Han army.

Therefore, at this time, the forbidden Chinese infantry army was in front with pikemen, and behind were some sword and shield soldiers and archers. Yu Ban planned to use the lightness of the pikemen to quickly break into the front of the New Han Army, break through the New Han Army's military formation, and then destroy this New Han Army with more superior forces.

Yu Ban didn't say that he hadn't considered the strength of the New Han Army's bow and arrow array, but he already knew that there were only four or five thousand archers in this New Han army, and even if its bow and arrow volleys were fired, its coverage area was limited, so he was not afraid that the New Han Army would use the bow and arrow array to shoot them into the charging army array.

"It's really looking for death! If their cavalry can break through the sword and shield formations on our left and right flanks and disrupt our formation, then I am afraid that this battle will really be more auspicious, but now...... Bow and arrow formations are ready! ”

Qin Jie fiercely ordered to the left and right: "The pikemen retreat slightly, and quietly separate on the left and right, don't let their formations disrupt our Chinese army formation, the archers will come forward for me, and in the shortest possible time, shoot all the arrows carried by this general, and let them taste the power of our sharp arrows." At the same time, let our cavalry battalion officers and soldiers be ready, once they disrupt the enemy's Chinese army, you will rush out with Qin Jie and directly enter Cao's Chinese army! ”

"Command!"

The generals on the left and right happily received the order and acted quickly to convey Qin Jie's orders.

The fighting on the battlefield was still fierce, and the screams were endless.

The infantry led by Yu Ban, who didn't know that his cavalry was not attacking effectively, finally approached about 200 steps in front of the main formation of the Chinese army of the New Han Army.

At this time, if Yu Ban could still calmly observe the situation on the battlefield, they would find that the original Chinese army of the New Han Army was much larger than the left and right flanks, but because Yu Ban's cavalry army failed to break through the sword and shield formation of the New Han Army, the entire battlefield was unconsciously pulled into a straight line, as if all the soldiers and horses were on a horizontal line and were tearing and killing.

Even, after a while, Yu Ban's Chinese army charged into a large formation, because the pikemen in front of the Chinese army of the New Han Army retreated rapidly, which made Yu Ban's Chinese army sink into the military formation of the New Han Army.

Of course, if the two armies fought each other, the New Han Army would be defeated by the forbidden Cao Army. Those who were beaten back, it was nothing. But the problem is that now it is the New Han Army that consciously let Cao's Chinese army suddenly fall into its own military formation.

Originally. They all held their breath, planning to rush to the front of the New Han Army in one go, and meet the New Han Army in short combat, but they rushed and shouted, but found that they seemed to be a little out of breath when they ran, but why hadn't they killed the front of the New Han Army yet?

However, there was no chance for them to figure it out anymore. Because, in the large array of the Chinese army of the New Han Army, there was a sudden order, and with a whining sound, thousands of bows and arrows burst into the sky.

Thousands of bows and arrows were fired in unison, and the momentum was still quite large, as if a dark cloud suddenly rose up, and then poured into the forbidden Cao army's charging formation.

It turned out that Cao Jun, who was still in formation. It was all disrupted by this rain of arrows at once.

These Cao soldiers, except for the time when they were attacked by the bed crossbow and other powerful crossbow arrows of the New Han Army, which scared them out, they really didn't have the opportunity to see the strength of the New Han Army's bow and arrow array in the front.

They. Seeing that there is a distance of more than 100 steps, you can enter the Chinese army of the New Han Army, but. With a hundred or so paces to go, they felt like they had been hit on the head. They were terrified and dizzy.

The covering blow of the archers of the New Han Army. Needless to say, its power is. Anyway, when the rain of arrows fell, it was inevitable that pieces of Cao soldiers were assassinated to the ground, and many Cao soldiers, before they even had time to shout, were shot into a hedgehog by a bow and arrow.

Yu Ban's impact array, but the pikemen charged ahead, so it was his pikemen who were the first to be hit.

The pikemen in light armor were only holding a spear in their hands, and they couldn't block the bow and arrow at all, and the light armor on their body couldn't resist the bow and arrow of the New Han army with sharp arrows at all.

5,000 archers, they don't have to stop the arrows, they don't have to aim, they just need to be like robots, listen to their generals' orders, one after another bow and arrow, rhythmically pull the bow and release the arrows.

After the first arrow was released, every two or three breaths, another one could be released, and after dozens of breaths, the bows and arrows radiated by the New Han Army were tens of thousands.

The fierce bow and arrow array shooting like a storm directly made the charging Cao soldiers all stunned, and they were thrilled to see one by one.

Of course, it doesn't matter much if you look thrilling in the back, the key is that those Cao soldiers who are already within the range of the bow and arrow of the New Han Army's bow and arrow array, they are miserable.

Cao Bing, who was full of blood and anger, and was full of energy to charge, was really beaten stupid at this time.

Looking at his soldiers, shot to the ground one by one, Yu Ban was so stunned that he almost vomited blood.

"What's going on? How could it be such a ......" Yu Ban's heart trembled a little.

He hurriedly looked at the entire battlefield, and he was shocked to find that his cavalry army was actually blocked and could not advance an inch, and their Chinese army seemed to be faster than the charge of those cavalry.

In an instant, his face was like ashes, and he suddenly guessed that this was very likely to be deliberately arranged by the New Han Army in this way and waiting for them to attack and kill. The New Han Army had long known that its cavalry would not be able to take advantage of their sword and shield array, so they would deliberately lure his Chinese army to come forward and accept the sharp arrows of the bow and arrow array that the New Han Army had already set up in the Chinese army, waiting for them to come forward and die.

How is this—how is this possible? This New Han army, with only thousands of archers, can exert such a powerful force?

Of course, because Yu Ban's military horses are indeed more than the New Han Army, the New Han Army's bow and arrow coverage is not too wide, after this storm-like bow and arrow shooting, many of the soldiers of the Cao Army have already rushed to the New Han Army's military formation, and have been in close contact with the New Han Army's spearmen.

However, Cao Jun's courage had been frightened by the bow and arrow array of the New Han Army, and for a while he seemed to be unable to let go of his hands and feet to fight with the New Han Army, and they all looked panicked. Because no one knows when the rain of arrows from the New Han Army will fall on their heads.

"No, we can't go on like this...... Yu Ban muttered subconsciously, "I have to find a way...... Bow and arrow...... Shieldmen, right...... Don't you have shield soldiers? As long as you protect your military horses and rush into the military formation of the New Han Army, you must break those damn New Han Army archers into pieces! ”

"Someone! The shield soldiers rush forward! ”

In a forbidden thought, Chongkou ordered his sword and shield soldiers of the Chinese army to quickly rush through the area covered by the rain of arrows of the New Han Army, and quickly break through the military formation of the New Han Army.

However, when this order was forbidden, the corner of his eyes extended, and he looked at his New Han Army from behind the mountain, condescendingly to his New Han Army, but his heart was sudden, because he saw the battle flag of the New Han Army, which was originally arranged at the end of their military formation, and began to move forward at this moment.

Bad!

Yu Ban's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, faintly, he had already guessed that the cavalry of the New Han Army was estimated to be about to charge him. And his own forward charge has now been disrupted, how can he defeat the cavalry of the New Han Army?

He turned his head sharply and saw that almost all of his left and right were swords, shields and archers, and he thought that if he let the cavalry of the New Han Army rush into his own formation, but his shield soldiers could not violate the laws of nature like the shield soldiers of the New Han Army, they could resist the cavalry charge. Once the cavalry of the New Han Army is allowed to enter their own military formation, then the archers behind them will be in danger, their melee ability is extremely weak, and when the time comes, they will only be slaughtered.

For a while, Yu Ban was a little contradictory. The current situation has put him in a dilemma.

"Report!"

"General Yu Ban, the New Han Army is evil, their sword and shield soldiers are extremely tenacious, they can actually withstand the impact of our cavalry, and the soldiers of the New Han Army who are hit by our cavalry will immediately get up and attack us as if nothing happened. Our cavalry has suffered heavy casualties, and it is impossible to break through the military formation of the New Han Army, what to do with our army, please decide with General Yu! ”

"I see, we can't fight anymore, if we continue to fight, our army may have to be completely defeated."

When Yu Ban heard this information, he knew in his heart that he couldn't go on like this. Now that they are expected to have insufficient enemies, their attacks will be completely restrained, and if they continue to fight, the casualties of their own troops will be even greater. Once these tens of thousands of soldiers are here, then he will not have enough troops to defend Xiangcheng. Everything must be focused on defending Xiangcheng.

"The order was given, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and quickly ordered our army to break away from the contact with the New Han Army. The officers and men of the Chinese army listened to the order, kept the formation and retreated, the cavalry of the New Han Army was about to rush over, and the sword and shield soldiers protected the archers to press the formation, and they must not ...... randomly" (to be continued.) )
