Zu Ti guessed correctly, the enemy's patience was really not great. Now that he was encircled, Zhao Dan simply didn't do anything, and commanded the remaining cavalry to rush up against the spear array again, trying to open a gap from the place where the number of troops seemed to be the least.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry had launched a charge, Zu Ti immediately ordered the archers who were lying in ambush around him to attack, and suddenly a dense rain of arrows completely covered all the cavalry on the battlefield. Although a large bow and arrow can do great damage to the cavalry, it only takes a few tens of seconds for the cavalry to rush to the front of the formation.

Therefore, in general, in such a short period of time, the archer can only complete a maximum of two rounds, so the damage to the mobile cavalry is not great in general. If you want to destroy the enemy, you have to rely on the infantry to fight.

Sure enough, the cavalry was worthy of being the king of the ancient battlefield, and even the infantry in a complete array could hardly resist a large-scale cavalry charge. Ancient famous generals were able to defeat cavalry with infantry, and they all made the best use of the right time, place and people.

This time, Zu Ti and Wei Shuo are no exception, Zu Ti is an outstanding military commander in this era, and Wei Shuo has the essence of wisdom accumulated in thousands of years of culture, and the two cooperate with each other to create a complete defensive position in front of them.

In order to gather and annihilate these 3,000 Hu cavalry, Zu Ti deliberately lured the enemy into this narrow valley, limiting the range of movement of the cavalry.

In front of the spearmen, Wei Shuo also asked the craftsmen to make a large number of horse-repellent rifles based on the pictures of horse-repelling rifles recorded in the Ming Dynasty's "Ji Xiao Xinshu" seen on the modern Internet, which could delay the cavalry's charge and reduce the cavalry's killing and injury to the infantry.

Although he had been well prepared in advance, when Wei Shuo actually saw the cavalry charge, he still felt terrified and frightened from the bottom of his heart. Without personally experiencing the scene of the cavalry charge, he would never be able to experience the sorrow and pain of ordinary infantry soldiers, and for a while Wei Shuo actually understood those soldiers who pretended to be dead and escaped on the battlefield.

Not everyone can keep their faces unchanged when the cavalry rushes in front of them, at least Wei Shuo can't do it. When the three thousand cavalry rushed up, it was as if the whole ground trembled, and the momentum of the mountains and seas seemed to be able to tear apart all the enemies who stood in front of them......

Although the spearmen are highly trained, they are all novices to the battle formation, and some people are bound to be flustered. Fortunately, there were a large number of backbones personally cultivated by Wei Shuo in the array, which played a huge role at this time. Together with the middle and junior officers in the formation, these backbone elements slowly relieved the tension in the hearts of the soldiers by means of encouragement and reassurance.

Wang Xiang in the formation held the spear in his hand tightly, his eyes stared straight at the cavalry who was sprinting, his brain was blank, he didn't know what to do at all, he could only mechanically erect the spear, stab, and put away according to the officer's instructions......

"Kill!"

"Ahh

Finally came the moment of hand-to-hand combat, both the enemy and the enemy knew that the victory and defeat were about to be divided in the near future, and it was impossible for Zhao Dan, Zu Ti, and Wei Shuo to give up the pursuit of victory.

Hu Qi paid a huge price and finally broke through the obstacle of the horse and gun, and collided with the spear that was waiting for him, and for a time the man turned over on his back, and the swords and spears danced wildly, like the waves tumbling when they encountered a boulder on the seashore, looking helpless and panicked.

A Hu man stepped on the gap that his companions exchanged for his life, and broke into the spear array, but what disappointed him was that the Jin army on the opposite side did not panic, and he didn't know when the spearmen in the back row had quietly surrounded him, and before he could react, he was suddenly stabbed in the body by three spears, and immediately fell to the ground and died.

Zhao Dan, who was commanding in the back, couldn't help but become anxious when he saw the unfavorable progress in front of him, he never thought that the cavalry unit he was proud of would be defeated head-on by the same number of Jin infantry.

If someone had told him such a thing before, he would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense, but the facts in front of him told him that it was true. He really lost to the opponent he once despised, and he never imagined that the little Xuzhou would hide such a strong infantry.

However, even if Zhao Dan regretted it too late, the Jin army, under the command of Zu Ti, surrounded one after another, although the combat effectiveness of the other new troops in Xuzhou was not very good, but it was more than enough to play the role of beating the water dogs. The other generals saw that the Hu people couldn't hold it anymore, so they howled and rushed forward.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Don't let go of a bearded man!"

The shouting and killing of the Jin army around shook the sky, and even Zu Li, Zu Yue, Cao Hong and others, who had been watching the enemy's formation, were eager to try. I saw Zu Ti pull out the long knife at his waist, hug his fist at Wei Shuo and say: "Guard Cao, I'll leave the rest to you, Zu Mou killed Hu!" ”

Saying that, without waiting for Wei Shuo to react, he picked up the long knife and rushed forward, chopping over a Hu man who had fallen off the horse with one knife, and turned his head to bared his teeth at Wei Shuo when he was done, but Wei Shuo couldn't help but shudder.

When Zu Ti rushed forward, his subordinates naturally would not watch the head of the family go into battle alone, and under the command of Zu Yue and Zu Na, everyone followed Zu Ti into the enemy formation. Even Cao Hong, who had been following Wei Shuo, picked up his long sword and went to the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, Wei Shuo was the only one left on the entire hillside.

Originally, Wei Shuo also wanted to go up, but after he looked at his hands with fine skin and tender flesh, he immediately dispelled the idea of going to the battlefield to experience it himself. Although he felt that his body had been strengthened in some way during the crossing, he didn't have any experience in fighting himself, and he was afraid that going up would only add to the chaos.

The most tragic moment of a battle is the hand-to-hand combat, and the casualties on both sides begin to increase dramatically. The Hu people who were surrounded knew that they could not survive, but instead inspired the ferocity of their instinct in human nature, and they began to fight to the death against the Jin army regardless of casualties. Even some Hu people saw that they could no longer give full play to any advantages while riding a horse, so they took the initiative to jump off the horse and fight with the Jin army on the ground.

Seeing this scene, even Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh that the Hu soldiers had a strong sense of pride in the successive battles of the Hu army over the years. Even in today's desperate situation, it will not be like the Jin army, once it encounters a desperate situation, the first thing that comes to mind is surrender, and the Hu people will only fight to the end.

However, no matter how brave the Hu people are, but after all, the troops are at a disadvantage, often two or three Jin troops fight around a Hu people, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to defeat four hands, no matter how powerful the Hu people are, they can't stand the Jin army. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer Hu people standing on the battlefield, and in the end, only Zhao Dan was left to lead a few remnants of the defeated army to guard the last position.

Zhao Dan is worthy of being a pioneer general, and he is really brave, he killed dozens of Jin soldiers by himself, and even a military general from a family in Xuzhou was folded in his hands. Originally, the general of the family saw that Zhao Dan was the general of the enemy army, and now he was under siege, and he fought for a while, thinking that if he captured the other party, he would just go to ask Lord Assassin Shi for promotion, but he didn't expect Zhao Dan to take care of him in three moves and two ways.

Looking at the defeat of the last few remnants, Zu Ti didn't care about it at all, he mouthed at his brother Nunu, Zu Yu Yi took a few people up to solve the rest of the Hu people, and when it was over, he brought back Zhao Dan's head, almost didn't let Wei Shuo vomit.

Except for Wei Shuo, several other people just came down from the battlefield, all covered in blood, as soon as Zhang Erlang saw Wei Shuo, he couldn't help but want to pounce, but was dodged by Wei Shuo.

"Erlang, you're not hurt, are you?"

"It's okay, it's all Hu people's blood, I don't have anything to do."

The enemy was defeated, 3,000 Hu people were annihilated, and the Jin army lost about 2,000 people before and after, which was generally a rare big victory. The reason why the casualties were so large was mainly because the Jin troops who participated in the war were all new troops and lacked battlefield experience. Even Wei Shuo thought that his command was a strong soldier who was not inferior to the Hu people, and he also lost nearly 500 people in this battle.

The spearmen, having borne the burden of sniping the Hu cavalry head-on, were the side with the greatest losses among the five recruit battalions. But Zu Ti, Wei Shuo and others were still very happy, this battle can be said to have completely dispelled the fear of the recruits for the Hu people, and lifted the morale of the army and the people in Xuzhou.

"General Zu, congratulations, under the command of the general, Xuzhou has achieved a great victory, presumably we will be much easier in the future."
