Hearing the scout's detailed information, Feng Yao frowned, and said in his heart: "This Gong Yinglian really has some ability, it seems that she is not a general who relies on her father!" ”

Gong Yinglian divided the pikemen into two and put them on the left and right, so that the cavalry would not be able to charge again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Yao looked at the terrain on the left and right, the trees were sparse, the terrain was flat, and there was only a small amount of farmland distributed, this kind of terrain was more suitable for cavalry charges, and also suitable for infantry phalanx attacks, but it was not conducive to defending against the attacks of archers.

"The whole army pauses its advance, the sword and shield soldiers step forward to prepare the shield wall to defend the bow and arrows, and all the archers of the whole army are ready!" Feng Yao ordered the standard-bearer to give the command.

The phalanx of sword and shield soldiers burst into a roar and stepped forward in unison.

"Bang bang!" , the first team of fifty large shields raised at the same time, "Drink! He shouted in unison, and pressed the shield directly into the ground, and the sound of the shield colliding with the shield was extremely thick and invigorating.

These big shields are all long standing shields that have been improved by Feng Yao, there are sharp points underneath, which is convenient for piercing the ground for defense, and the height is as high as the shoulders, and the sword and shield soldiers holding the shield only need to bend their bodies slightly, and they can hide their entire body behind the big shield, and the whole row of soldiers can seamlessly juxtapose the long standing shields one by one, like a whole wall, and ordinary bows and arrows will never break through this shield wall.

Immediately after the shouts of the team leader, the second team of fifty large shields followed closely, and they were close behind the first team of sword and shield soldiers, but the second team did not need to press the big shield into the ground, but stood next to the shield, assuming a basic defensive posture.

"The first team of archers comes forward!"

These were all trained by Feng Yao a long time ago, and the troops of the bow battalion where he was located immediately cooperated to make further orders.

A squad of fifty archers quickly ran behind the second squad of sword and shield men, and stood by.

Immediately after that, the third group of sword and shield men stepped forward behind the line of archers, and so on, five hundred sword and shield soldiers and five hundred archers staggered into formation, waiting for the next order.

The reason for this formation is because Feng Yao had been an archer before and knew the weakness of archers, although the archers' long-range attacks could kill the enemy by surprise, but in the same way, as long as the enemy rained down a wave of arrows, he would also suffer heavy losses!

Therefore, Feng Yao built the Changli shield so tall so that one big shield can be defended by two soldiers, as long as the big shield is raised together, two or three soldiers can defend against the enemy's arrow rain under each big shield!

These thousand sword and shield soldiers and archers are not the elite soldiers under Feng Yao, there are 1,000 elite soldiers, divided into two teams, one team is 500 elite pikemen, and the other team is 500 elite sword and shield soldiers, these 1,000 people are all selected by Feng Yao to die rather than surrender, this thousand elite soldiers are like the blade of a good knife, they will not be dispatched easily, as long as they are dispatched, they will kill the enemy and return.

The last thousand men were mainly baggage teams carrying grain, all miscellaneous soldiers, armed with only a saber, as well as drum bands, scouts and other types of troops.

Feng Yao personally led one hundred and twelve cavalry in two squads, these cavalry have all been equipped with the copper horse pedals that have just been made, and the cavalry has better control over the horses, and the two feet have horse pedals to borrow strength, even if they wear iron armor weighing eighty catties, they are more flexible than before, the only disadvantage is that after the weight increases, the horses carry heavier weights, which is not conducive to long-distance running.

On the way to the march, each knight was assisted by two miscellaneous soldiers, one of whom was responsible for leading the horses and feeding the horses, and the other was responsible for carrying the weapons and armor of the cavalry, so that the cavalry could conserve as much physical strength as possible during the march, and the cavalry could not ride a horse without an order, and could not consume the horse's physical strength.

"Cavalry preparation!" Feng Yao gave an order, and all the cavalry quickly put on their armor, led their war horses, and stood still.

Feng Yao also put on his own armor!

Looking ahead, the three thousand Yellow Turban elite soldiers had already rushed to within a mile when Feng Yaojun was arraying, and the ground was faintly shaking, with a total of two large and two small four phalanxes, and a compelling oppressive atmosphere followed!

"There are such capable female generals in the Yellow Turban Army, and these three thousand Yellow Turban elites are unmoved in the face of their own nine thousand troops!!" Feng Yao secretly praised, but the more such an opponent, the more interested Feng Yao became.

"Humph! What happened to the female general? As long as you dare to be my enemy, I will let you taste the horror of my arrow array! Looking at the Yellow Turban enemy soldiers approaching in front of him, Feng Yao's face became cold, and he waved the command flag in his hand.

"Archer prepare!"

The enemy also has archers, so Feng Yao stared intently ahead, secretly calculating the number of steps between the two armies in his heart, as soon as the enemy enters the range of the archers, Feng Yao will immediately send a wave of arrows over, if he waits for the enemy to make the first move, he is likely to be shot so that he can't raise his head.

The Yellow Turban Army has taken dozens of steps forward!

"Shoot!" Feng Yao shouted.

Launch all three armies of archers at the same time! The sound of "whoosh" dense arrows off the string suddenly made a loud noise, and the rain of arrows in the sky was thrown diagonally upward!

At the same time, the enemy general Gong Yinglian also gave the same order.

Feng Yao's pupils shrank violently, and the movements of the archers in the enemy's back row could be seen clearly!

"Shield Wall Defense!" Feng Yao hurriedly ordered.

"Drink!" The sword and shield bearers shouted angrily, except for those in the first row, who only lowered their bodies slightly, and the sword and shield men behind all raised their shields above their heads, and the archers in the rear immediately took a step forward when they heard the order, and fell under the big shield.

"Puff puff!" Arrows rained down on the raised shield.

Feng Yao fixed his eyes and saw that except for a few that missed, almost all of the enemy's bows and arrows were coming towards the archer phalanx! Each shield has at least one or more arrows on it.

"The enemy soldiers are shooting really accurately!" Feng Yao was secretly taken aback, if there was no prior big shield defense, I am afraid that at least more than thirty percent of the archers would be lost now, but now Feng Yao is still very satisfied, except for a few soldiers who were slightly injured, almost no casualties.

Gong Yinglian's side was not so lucky, although the casualties of the 1,000 sword and shield soldiers in front were very small, but the archers in the rear were killed by Feng Yao's wave of arrow rain at least more than 200! The sound of arrows hitting the flesh, mixed with the screams of wounded archers, could not bear to hear it.

"Bow and arrow back fifty steps! Sword and shield soldiers stand by! Gong Yinglian saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered.

Feng Yao saw that the enemy archers were about to retreat, and immediately ordered the archers to send another wave of arrows out, but this time it had little effect, only shooting down less than fifty enemy soldiers, and most of the archers had retreated beyond the range.

"Sword and shield archers, take fifty steps forward, shoot again!" How could Feng Yao let go of such a good opportunity so easily, anyway, there were sword and shield soldiers on top of him, and it didn't hurt to take another fifty steps forward!

The sword and shield soldiers escorted the archers neatly towards the march of fifty steps, and at the moment when they were placed on the shield, the archers who were hidden behind suddenly appeared, the five hundred archers of Feng Yaozhong's army, and the five hundred archers of Dai Ling's army attacked at the same time, and a thousand iron arrows suddenly flew towards the archers who had just lined up behind the enemy soldiers.

In an instant, more than a hundred lives of the enemy were taken!

The enemy was shocked, and Gong Yinglian had to retreat fifty steps back again, with only a thousand sword and shield hands in front of him.

Feng Yao didn't order the archers to step forward this time, and now he stepped forward, if the enemy army was in front of a striker, the archers might be caught off guard and have no time to retreat, but the two waves of arrow rain took away nearly three hundred casualties from the enemy at once, and one of his own side had zero casualties, which was almost the same.

Under Feng Yao's order, the drummers in the army played the victory drum, and their morale was shocked.

Gong Yinglian has never had such a defeat since she became a general, looking at the more than 200 soldiers who fell to the ground and died, and some soldiers who were not dead and were moaning in pain on the ground, she was furious in her heart, took a shield, carried a spear, and rushed to the front of the battle, and scolded loudly from afar: "I am Gong Yinglian, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Marshal, and the enemy general will have the courage to fight to the death with me!" ”
