The sound of weapons unsheathed, and the sound of soldiers' gasps rang out.

The rain and fog dissipated, but what caught Wei Yan's eyes was not the imaginary Iron Cavalry Regiment.

What was approaching was a fish-scale shield formation formed by dozens of huge infantry.

The shields held by these Qiang foot soldiers were nearly more than a person high, and they were impermeable to the wind in layers, and dozens of shield arrays advanced forward, like an iron wall pushed flat.

Such a military formation, not to mention Shamoke, even the knowledgeable Wei Yan was the first time to see it, and the five thousand barbarians were all amazed and stunned.

Wei Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the thunderous steps, the enemy's shield array steadily pushed southward, and soon entered the range of the bow and crossbow.

Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released, and more than a thousand elite crossbowmen bent and set up arrows, and under the shaking of the flag, the rain of arrows as dense as flying locusts drew arcs one after another, pouring towards the enemy formation like a net from heaven to earth.

It's just that the effect of the arrow attack surprised Wei Yan.

The shield used by Ma Chao's fish-scale army formation is not only tall, but also extremely thick, and the ordinary bows and arrows used by the southern army cannot penetrate it at all.

The rain of arrows that poured down hit the big shield, and the clanging bells were bounced down one after another, but they hardly caused any substantial damage to Ma Chaojun.

It was the first time I had seen such a strange scene, even the Wuxi barbarian army, which was known for its fierce fighting bravery, couldn't help but waver a little when they saw such an indestructible enemy.

"Damn, what the hell is Liu Bei's dog thief playing!" Shamoko couldn't help but curse, and his hideous face revealed a bit of anxiety and confusion.

When the arrows were released here, Ma Chao's army formation was approaching more than fifty steps, and at this moment, the enemy's shield array suddenly separated to both sides, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the formation, and they were rushing towards the two wings of the southern army.

"Hmph, sure enough, I hid the cavalry behind the shield array, Ma Chao, I, Wei Yan, am not so easy to deceive."

Wei Yan, who had already known in his heart, decisively ordered, and the square military formation changed slightly and changed it to an arc-shaped formation.

The cavalry attack was nothing more than a roundabout flank, which Wei Yan had prepared for.

Although Ma Chaojun's fish-scale army formation effectively resisted the long-range attack of his army's arrows, allowing his cavalry to launch an attack at close range, Wei Yanjun's army had a geographical advantage.

After a slight change at both ends, the infantry formation of the Southern Army with its back to the water can hug the river at both ends, like a moon, and seal the flank that the enemy wants to attack.

Because there was no chariot defense, this formation was slightly inferior to the "Moon Formation" made by Liu Feng back then, but Wei Yan believed that the iron wall composed of big trees and spears was enough to resist the impact of Ma Chao's army.

After the order was given, the shield soldiers lined up, and long weapons such as guns and halberds came out of the gaps in the big shields, like a forest of death, exuding a hideous murderous aura.

Fifty paces away, the enemy cavalry is coming in the blink of an eye.

However, something unexpected happened to Wei Yan again.

Ma Chao's cavalry did not rely on the powerful impact to launch a fierce attack as he imagined. These thousands of raging cavalry, when they approached the southern army's infantry formation for more than ten paces, suddenly turned their horses' hooves, swept past the southern army's formation, and threw their weapons in their hands.

And those thrown weapons are not ordinary spears, but slender javelins.

The slender javelin, thrown at such a close distance, the bronze spear head, with a very strong penetration shot at the Southern Army, can not help but be able to easily penetrate the wooden pole of the Southern Army, and even can be pierced together with the armor of the soldiers, and the javelin that passes through the gap is pierced through two or three Southern soldiers together.

An arrow shot is not enough to kill you, but if you pierce this javelin, even the strongest soldier will immediately lose its combat effectiveness.

Ma Chao's army launched an attack at such a close range, and the hit rate was even more amazing, and the rain of javelins fired, and the four or five hundred southern soldiers on both flanks were immediately pierced into meat skewers.

Those comrades-in-arms who were pierced with noodles and meat skewers died for a moment and a half, but they couldn't move, like grasshoppers pierced on the grass, howling, rolling and crawling, struggling in pain.

This bloody scene, such a terrifying attack method, was enough to make any iron-blooded warrior terrified, and immediately disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Wuxi barbarians.

The rout began, and the panicked barbarian warriors began to turn around and run towards the riverbank.

Wei Yan, who was in the middle of the battle, was shocked and angry, he really didn't expect that Ma Chaojun would use such a bizarre tactic.

From Changsha to Luoyang, as the first general under the general Liu Feng, Wei Yan was almost invincible, but now, the military array he carefully arranged was easily defeated by the enemy, and Wei Yanyan could not be angry.

In a fit of rage, Wei Yan shouted and reprimanded again and again, strictly ordering the soldiers not to retreat, but the defeat was already complete, and neither the barbarians nor his Jingzhou army could stop drinking.

As an excellent commander, Wei Yan knew very well that the defeat was decided, and he had completely lost this battle.

The necessary ability of a good commander is to be able to accurately judge when to attack, when to retreat, and even when to "flee for your life".

At this time, Wei Yan was only angry for a moment, then decisively turned around and retreated, rushing all the way towards the pontoon bridge.

Wei Yan should feel fortunate that if he were facing a traditional cavalry, such a rout, and the enemy's iron cavalry chasing after him like a tiger driving sheep, he and his defeated army would face the danger of being annihilated on the river beach by the whole army.

However, Ma Chao's special cavalry regiment made the javelin tactics of strong lethality, but poor mobility.

Because after the cavalry threw the javelins, they had to return to the fish scale shield array to replenish the javelins, and turn back and forth to continue the pursuit of the enemy, and this back and forth just gave Wei Yan a precious chance to escape.

Therefore, when Ma Chao's cavalry attacked again, Wei Yan had already rushed to the pontoon bridge, and thousands of defeated troops abandoned the camp that was still under construction and fled from the pontoon bridge to the south bank of the Yellow River.

When Wei Yan wisely chose to retreat, Shamoke of the former army was still fighting bloodily.

The barbarian general, ashamed that his elite army was defeated by the enemy, and Shamoke, who was angry and angry, beheaded several deserters in a row, leading more than 1,000 personal guards, and actually went against the defeat and killed the enemy in reverse.

In the fish scale array, the white-robed and majestic general smiled.

In the smile, it is ironic and murderous.

Since the Battle of Tongguan, Ma Chao has not killed so happily for many years.

In today's battle, he didn't plan to fight in person, he wanted to sit back and watch his subordinates and easily defeat the enemy, but the thousand stubborn enemies aroused his fighting spirit.

With a tiger roar, Ma Chao danced a silver gun and rode out.

The fish scale array broke through, and the five thousand horsemen rushed up, chasing the Xiliang male lion and rushing away.

The raging iron stream roared in.

In an instant, the two armies fought in one place.

Blood splattered, people turned on their backs, and Shamoko's most elite subordinates were knocked down by two or three hundred people in the blink of an eye.

At the moment of collision with the oncoming enemy horse, Shamoko's body deviated slightly, avoiding the stabbing spear, and the broadsword was sideways, and with a "poof", a bloody human head flew into the air.

Just beheaded one person, and then two Qiang soldiers killed, and the long iron spear stabbed straight at Shamoko's face.

Shamoke let out a low roar, the big knife went up, and with force on his arm, he easily bounced the enemy general away, and swept the steel knife fan, like the wind, and cut off the two Qiang soldiers.

The broadsword danced wildly like the wind, cutting down the enemy horsemen one by one, and Shamoko rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, completely ignoring the sound of Mingjin retreating from his side.

Just as he was red-eyed, out of the corner of his eye, a tall figure wearing silver armor and a beast-faced battle helmet suddenly rushed towards him in the midst of a large group of people and horses.

Although Shamoke is a Nanban, he has also heard of the name of Xiliang Jin Ma Chao, he suddenly saw that the extraordinary enemy was half killed, and guessed that most of it was Ma Chao who moved the world, so his murderous spirit skyrocketed, and he waved his knife to meet it.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Chao rushed in front of him with a scorching wind, and under the huge beast-faced battle helmet, the soul-chasing eyes made the fearless Shamoke feel shocked.

At the moment of horror, the huge and friendless silver spear, like a silver lightning, rushed towards the face with endless strength.

Shamoko didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly raised the big knife and used all the strength of his body to resist.

With the roar of metal, Shamoko shook violently.

Ma Chao's shot was domineering and fast, and there was a power like a landslide and a crack, and the explosive impact caused by the impact only shook Shamoke's whole body muscles, and Nuoda's body almost fell off his horse.

The place of the tiger's mouth is even more hot and painful, and you don't need to look at it to know that it must have been cracked by the tiger's mouth.

"Xiliang Ma Chao, fruit ......"

When Shamoke's thoughts didn't have time to flow, Ma Chao's arm moved, and the second shot was already in the chest, and the sharp wind brought by the spear pierced straight into the eardrum.

Shamoke didn't have time to think about it, and instead of blocking it, the big knife swung towards Ma Chao's shoulder.

As soon as he fought in one move, Shamoke knew that his opponent's martial arts were much higher than his own, so he adopted such a desperate fighting style as if he was injured by both defeats.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao's move was extremely fast, and when the gun was halfway through, it suddenly turned, and the barrel of the gun stabbed obliquely and slammed into Shamoke's elbow socket.

Shamoke was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his sword to defend, but before the knife could be deployed, Ma Chao's third shot had been marked from under the ribs and went straight to his front door.

At this moment, Shamoke really realized how huge the strength of himself and Ma Chao was.

This Xiliang Jinma Chao's fast gun technique has reached the point of incomparability, and every shot is as fast as lightning and as thunderous.

Shamoke saw the chaotic shadow of the gun in front of him, as if countless rainbows were wrapping around him, he couldn't see the opponent's move at all, and could only blindly dance the knife to parry.

Twenty moves later, in the battle group, a miserable scream was heard.

Like a whipped spinning top, Shamoko spurted blood from several holes in his body, screaming and falling from his horse.
