When confronting the enemy, it is natural to use one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

As for the New Han Army, although every soldier of the New Han Army will undergo strict training, everyone can be said to be fierce, and the enemy is not afraid at all, and he is also confident that he can defeat the enemy. In normal times, the training of soldiers is more about training their physical strength and battlefield killing skills. However, it is undeniable that the sophistication of the weapons and equipment of the New Han Army is definitely far better than that of the Cao Army, so even if it can fight again, there are better ways to kill the enemy, so why do you have to step forward to tear them face to face?

Peacetime training is only to prepare for the worst under no means, and to train the individual combat ability of every soldier of the New Han Army is also to enable the soldiers of the New Han Army to better protect their lives on the battlefield, in order to achieve the victory of every war with the least casualties.

Not only to defeat the enemy, but also to preserve their own strength. This is the general purpose of the New Han Army.

Therefore, when Yan Liang faced the charge of more than 100,000 Cao cavalry, his first reaction was to adopt a tactical plan that would most effectively kill and defeat the enemy cavalry in such a tight time.

The cavalry army of a small number of tribes outside the Saiwai is dominated by the Lanling tribe, as well as the Xiliang cavalry army composed of the Di and Qiang tribes on the Xiliang side, and the cavalry soldiers of these minority tribes have basically lived on horseback since childhood. Their horsemanship was admired by the cavalry of the New Han Army. Now, they are equipped with the strong bows created by the New Han Dynasty. Bow and arrow with a longer range, even. Even the arrows are unusually sharp. Yan Liang felt that they were more suitable for a ranger-like attack on the charging cavalry in Zeyi.

And the cavalry composed of the Han led by Yan Liang, although it is said that they have also learned a few pieces of cavalry and archery skills of those minority tribesmen. But in the end, it is inferior to theirs. Therefore, Yan Liang simply ordered his Han cavalry to be in the position of the Chinese army to meet the soldiers of the Cao army's cavalry.

However, this is also one of the strengths of the New Han Army. That is, even the cavalry is good, they are all trained in bow and arrow volleys. Although they sat on war horses, the war horses were stationary. Such a situation is actually equivalent to the 30,000 or 40,000 Chinese cavalry of the New Han Army, laying down a large array of bows and arrows of tens of thousands of people.

Also, I have to mention. The cavalry of the New Han Army, the standard armament of each cavalry is different from that of ordinary infantry.

The cavalry of the general New Han Army generally had two war horses per person. The problem of this war horse, compared to the New Han Army, is no longer a problem. Don't fight with a small number of tribes outside the Saiwai and Guanwai many times, and capture a large number of war horses, that is, now the New Han Dynasty has unified the entire northern and northwest deserts, and has firmly controlled the power in these places. As a result, the entire northern and northwest deserts seem to have become the pastures of the New Han Dynasty. If you want a war horse, a command. You can bring in a large number of horses from outside the plug. Also, don't say so. In the early days, Liu Yi set up a horse ranch in the Dazepo base of Zhuo County, Youzhou, and later the war situation in Youzhou changed, and the horse ranch had already moved back to Bingzhou, and now the horse ranch in Bingzhou has been quite prosperous, I dare not say much, and can supply tens of thousands of adult horses to the imperial court every year. Therefore, the current New Han Dynasty is actually not short of horses, cattle and sheep.

Generally speaking, it was because Liu Yi took over the vast territory outside the Saiwai and formed a substantial rule over the northwest desert and the north. In the territory of the New Han Dynasty, the demand for livestock and livestock was solved at once, which was also one of the main reasons for the rapid development of all aspects of the New Han Dynasty.

Now in the original Sili Prefecture, Bingzhou, and Guanzhong of the New Han Dynasty, every household basically has cattle, sheep, horses, or mules and horses. Generally, a family will have its own cattle, and when traveling, or pulling the grain obtained from production to sell, etc., it will have its own horses and wagons. All these are a direct reflection of the increasing living standards of the Han people under the rule of the New Han Dynasty.

Of course, it was wartime, and the cavalry of the New Han Army would only ride on the battlefield on the horses with the best physical strength. The so-called cavalry of the New Han Army has two war horses, which means that in the process of marching, in order to reach the destination in time, they can have two war horses to ride in turn.

The cavalry of the New Han Dynasty has two war horses is the basic configuration, in addition, bows and arrows, spears, and sabers are the most basic configurations allocated to the cavalry by the military headquarters of the New Han Dynasty. In this way, you can use bows and arrows when cavalry are on the ranger, spears and spears when charging, and sabers when fighting. In addition, depending on the interests or abilities of each cavalryman, you can also carry some throwing guns or throwing knives. Also, in general, you can also request to have a special sword as a saber.

A cavalryman with really quite complete weapons and equipment. Suit them in different situations and use tactical weapons that suit them. Because each cavalry has two horses, they can carry more things, including bows and arrows, and even more than the archers of the infantry army.

That, again, now the New Han Army is able to mass-produce arrows, and in the past ten years, it has basically not stopped producing bows and arrows, so there is a backlog of bows and arrows in the current New Han Army. Even if it is not recycled, it can be used by the soldiers of the New Han Army as they please.

One trick is eaten all over the world.

Now Yan Liang's tens of thousands of cavalry troops directly set up a large array, becoming a large array of bows and arrows on horses, waiting to shout to kill the Cao army cavalry who came forward.

In the formation of the New Han Army, there was a solemnity, everyone stared at the Cao Army cavalry that was surging like a wave with serious expressions, no one would look around, even if there was a sound, it was just a snort from the war horses under their crotch. They only wait for the generals in the army to give orders, and as soon as they give the order, they will raise their bows and arrows, draw their bows and arrows.

Xiahoudun didn't know the battle tactics of the New Han Army, and when he saw that the cavalry array that was already approaching the New Han Army was still three or four hundred paces, he could rush to their eyes. And the cavalry of the New Han Army has not yet started. This made Xiahoudun happy.

You know, the most powerful place for the cavalry. It's its impact. As long as you let your army charge over, the cavalry of the New Han Army has not yet started. will definitely be crushed and defeated by the onslaught of his own army.

"Kill! The New Han Army has been frightened by us, kill it! ”

Xiahoudun didn't think much about it, shouted loudly, encouraged the cavalry to rush forward with him, and instantly accelerated his speed, everyone slammed the horse's belly or slapped the horse's buttocks, raised the swords and spears in their hands, and galloped forward with murderous energy.

Three hundred steps! Two hundred steps!

When the wave of Xiahoudun's cavalry broke into the army formation of the New Han Army, there were still more than 100 steps. In the formation of the New Han Army, there was a sudden shout, first in front of its cavalry formation, suddenly a row of long spears rose from the tree, and the spears as sharp as a forest made people's eyes cold. Then, in the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, almost all the cavalry raised their bows and arrows at once.

It is necessary to set up a row of spears in front of the formation, long spears. It is a very effective weapon for suppressing the charge of enemy cavalry. Therefore, Yan Liang had already ordered a platoon of cavalry to quickly collect the extended spears in the cavalry, and let them dismount and set up a formation in front of the formation.

Of course. This is not the most chilling move for Cao Jun, but the uniform movement of the entire cavalry formation of the New Han Army to raise bows and arrows.

And just when Xiahoudun and other Cao Jun were stunned, the cavalry of the New Han Army was in the array. With a whine, a black cloud rose from the ground. Dense like rain of bows and arrows, in the blink of an eye, flew above the head of the charging Cao army's cavalry array.

The charge of the cavalry was fast. But no matter how fast you are, you can't shoot a bow and arrow.

At this time, the cavalry of the Cao army rushed to a distance of about 100 steps from the cavalry formation of the New Han Army. However, the bow and arrow that flew over their heads fell sharply, with a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and the porphyry shrouded them.

Tens of thousands of bows and arrows almost covered the space in front of them.

Arrows fell fiercely, piercing the bodies of the Cao cavalry who charged, bringing out a tent of blood.

In an instant, the Cao army, which was originally like a wave, charged in formation, and in the area covered by the bow and arrow, people turned over on their backs, horses neighed, and screamed, making a mess.

This is just a round of bow and arrow strikes, according to the speed of the New Han Army's arrows, shoot an arrow, take the arrow, draw the bow, and release the arrow, the interval is only a few breaths.

In a few breaths, most people can't react. Therefore, the cavalry of the Cao army behind can clearly see that in the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, round after round of arrow rain, flying up one by one in a regular manner, the bow and arrow shot out of the previous time have not yet fallen, followed by a cloud of black arrows.

Perhaps, no matter how strong the New Han Army is, it is impossible to continuously pull the strong bow and release arrows, but what if a soldier of the New Han Army, even if each person shoots ten arrows, he is unable to pull the strong bow in their hands?

Each person has an arrow that is not tens of thousands, but ten rounds is hundreds of thousands of bows.

It can't be counted as a bow and arrow to kill an enemy, these hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows are fired, and it is impossible to really shoot all the Cao cavalry who rushed over. However, the range of these hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows was within the range of tens of paces to about two hundred paces in front of their military formation. In this way, it can be imagined that within the distance of about 200 steps between the two armies and two formations, can the cavalry of the Cao army who charged out still be fine?

At least, the charging arrows of the Cao army have been crippled by the blows of the bow and arrow array of the New Han Army, right?

The cavalry that fell to the ground one by one directly affected the cavalry that charged behind, and the distance of these two hundred steps became a chasm that Cao's army could never cross.

Of course, the cavalry charge, the distance of 100 to 200 paces, in fact, is not a distance, people run 100 meters at full speed, it is only more than ten or twenty seconds, and the speed of the war horse may be faster.

Therefore, even under the shroud of the bows and arrows of the New Han Army, there were still Cao Jun's cavalry to break through the arrow curtain and rush to kill the front of the cavalry of the New Han Army. However, these Cao cavalry who can rush over are already rare, and one or twenty of a hundred cavalry can rush close, even if the proportion is quite high.

However, don't forget, even if you rush to the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, you still have to break through the spear forest in front of the military formation. Then let them break into the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, those cavalry of the Cao Army, they can be sure that they can defeat the cavalry of the New Han Army face to face, and they can defeat the cavalry of the New Han Army?

Actually, don't say it's an ordinary Cao army cavalry. Xiahoudun, who was originally leading the army to charge ahead, saw that in the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, when everyone raised their bows and arrows, his eyelids jumped wildly, and a bad premonition surged from his heart.

At that time, he was only a hundred paces away from the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, and he could kill it with a breath. However, Xiahoudun's bad premonition allowed him to get his life back.

When the bow and arrow were shot in the new Han army array, Xiahoudun really didn't dare to hold his own martial arts, didn't dare to ignore it, and didn't dare to dance the spear in his hand to shoot at him with a rain of arrows. Instead, he dodged for the first time and flashed under the horse's belly.

Sure enough, the cavalry at the forefront of their charge basically had no possibility of dodging or shooting arrows in the middle of the battle.

It was just a blink of an eye, and Xiahoudun's war horse was shot by countless arrows at the same time, and his war horse only screamed and fell to the ground to death. Xiahoudun, who was rushed out with his own war horse and was suppressed all of a sudden, was very sad to see that the nearby cavalry of the Cao Army was basically stabbed into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows of the New Han Army, even those tigers and leopards wearing black heavy armor, the heavy armor on their bodies could not stop the sharp bows and arrows of the New Han Army.

And what made Xiahoudun's scalp tingle even more was that the bows and arrows in the New Han army were endlessly covered, even if his war horse was too dead to die, there were still countless bows and arrows falling and shooting into the dead war horse.

In this way, Xiahoudun could only be pressed by the dead horse, and he didn't dare to move at once. He could only watch, watching his cavalry formation, like wheels, rolling in, stopping and stopping to rush into the rain of arrows shot down by the New Han Army, piece by piece, groups of his own cavalry, screaming, frightened with the rushing out of the war horse falls.

Xiahoudun's heart was crying blood, he opened his mouth and screamed angrily, ordering his cavalry to stop attacking, and even ordered his cavalry to retreat. However, his shouts were drowned out by the overwhelming rain of arrows, and his orders were not conveyed to his cavalry. (To be continued.) )
