The sound of horses' hooves, the howls of people, the chorus of crossbow strings from tight to loose, and the miserable neighing of defeated horses raising their hooves and screaming to the sky...... The transition between movement and stillness is so fast, dizzyingly fast, but it expresses the cruelty and intensity of war in great detail.

The losers were rightly shocked and shocked, they were already fully mentally prepared for the end of this group of warriors who rushed into battle, but no one could have imagined that these warriors were actually wiped out on the way to the charge, in the way of total annihilation!

After the shock, it was a chill that seeped out from the depths of the bone marrow, cold to the bone, and could not be dispersed.

Under such favorable conditions, the cavalry could not rush forward, and how many lives did it take to fill the steel jungle formed by the strong crossbow before it could be filled?

The most shocking thing is not the power of the crossbow salvo, but the quality and mental outlook of the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army at the last moment.

From the moment they stopped, the movements of thousands of people were like one person, uniform and orderly.

The officer gave a total of four orders, each of which had an immediate effect, a simple shout, because the response behaved in such a way as to give the illusion that these people were not soldiers, but a group of artists, performing a very rhythmic dance.

The dance was so graceful that the performer was so engrossed that he completely forgot that he was on the battlefield and was facing hundreds of cavalry rushing at him. Therefore, they did not show any panic and calmly annihilated the enemy.

Whether it was Wuyan or Qi Zhou, what surged in their hearts at this moment was not anger, nor did they think of revenge, except for the cold that came from the shock, their minds were blank, and they completely lost the ability to think.

It wasn't until the Qingzhou army formation that the passionate horn exploded, and several teams of foot soldiers retreated to each other, revealing several passages more than a foot wide, that Wuyan and Qi Zhou suddenly woke up and shouted: "Not good!" The cavalry of the Han army is going to be killed, retreat, retreat! ”

After shouting, the two turned their horses' heads and fled in the lead, and the shouts of the two of them were very timely, reminding the others: Take advantage of your illness, you want your life, the Han army is going to fight back.

The group of Hu souls scattered, and no longer had the arrogance of the previous provocation, and they scattered birds and beasts on the spot.

"The clown who jumps off the beam is not self-conscious." Wang Ze sneered, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, don't pay attention to them, and continue on your way." ”

"Oh!" The Yulin soldiers responded in unison, and there was no joy and complacency in their tones.

The army suddenly accelerated, rolling eastward.

"The admonition written by the prince and the marquis in the military academy: Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change color, and the elk is happy on the left and does not look instantaneous, and then it can control the interests and harms, and can treat the enemy. I have always thought that it was just for inspirational self-reflection, but today I knew at a glance that there was no end to manpower, and flesh and blood could really be turned into a hundred refined steel. ”

Not only were the enemies frightened, but the students in the army were also shocked.

To be honest, this time is not a big scene, the total number of Hu cavalry around the army is less than 1,000, even if it is really unprepared to be bumped in by all the Hu cavalry, the army will not really be defeated.

Compared with the battle of Horseshoe Beam that they witnessed and participated in, this time it could only be regarded as a pediatric, at that time, the battlefield was a thousand horses galloping without a discount, and thousands of arrows were fired together, and the scene was extremely magnificent.

Seeing the hundreds of Hu cavalry in front of them covered with arrows, killed and wounded by spears, cut down like wheat by crossbows, and finally wiped out in front of the shield wall and the forest of spears, the students were excited, their blood boiled, and they thought that they would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.

It is said that after experiencing such a big scene and seeing the strong military formation of the Yulin Army, no matter what situation you encounter, you shouldn't be too shocked.

However, this time what they saw was another kind of strength, a strong that was calm and unhurried, a strong that was wiped out in ashes, a strong that was extremely focused, and was not moved by external objects!

At a time when the navy has not yet taken shape, there are no opponents worth mentioning, and the staff department only exists in Wang Yu's conception, the method of infantry and cavalry warfare is the most important subject in the military academy. And every time we talk about infantry and cavalry warfare, some classic examples of combat will always be mentioned repeatedly.

The battle of Horseshoe Liang was a special case, limited by the terrain, Hu Cai could only bite the bullet and attack the Han army array head-on, in the face of the overwhelming equipment superiority of the Yulin army, they only had to sink the sand and fold the halberd. What is really regarded as the most classic battle of the infantry cavalry by the students is the Fen Xun of the first to ascend to the dead in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge.

Of course, there were factors in that battle that Gongsun Chan underestimated the enemy and frustrated the conspiracy, but in all fairness, even without the influence of these factors, Bai Ma Yicong would not be able to rush to the camp first. Even if the two sides did not fight in array, but encountered Yu Daozuo, the result would not be much different.

The strength of the cavalry, on the one hand, is the mobility that comes and goes like the wind, and on the other hand, the powerful impact force.

These are objective factors, and there are also subjective factors, when seeing the cavalry rushing over like a wave, even the most courageous people will tremble and sweat like pulp. Although it will not be crushed by every army at the touch of a button, the cavalry charge will certainly have a strong suppressive effect on the morale of the enemy.

For a well-trained army that remains in a state of readiness for battle, this suppressive effect will not be too great. But for the army that rushed to the battle, it was quite fatal.

For example, in the Hebei War that year, when Zhao Yun reinforced Tai Shici, the reason why the two soldiers and horses of Zhang Yang and Lu Kuang brothers did not even block a single face was not because their army was too bad, but because they themselves were in chaos before turning around to meet the enemy.

The army is a whole, and if one person is in chaos, it will lead to a whole army, and the spread of chaos is very strong, and local chaos will soon expand to the whole army.

The students summed up a conclusion from previous battles, including the Battle of Jieqiao and the Battle of Juyong, that when infantry fights cavalry, there can be no formation, but there can be no order. As long as everyone has the heart to fight to the death and moves forward bravely, the gap in foot riding is not completely irreparable. The first dead man and the yellow turban wrestler are undoubtedly verifying this truth.

But today, they see another form of infantry.

The foot soldiers of the Yulin Army did not ascend to the dead first, shouting death without turning their heels, and regarded death as if they were at home, nor did they have the Yellow Turban Warrior's disregard for pain and fearlessness. They remained silent, like a group of inanimate marionettes, just following orders.

The Wuhuan people are not good at the art of war, but the students can see it clearly, when Wang Ze issued the second order, that is, when the soldiers were ordered to turn around to face the battle, in addition to abandoning the crossbow and holding the crossbow, some of the Yulin soldiers also made a retreat action.

The effect of this action is that the facing Yulin Army has put on a less obvious goose marching formation, and the effect is naturally to make the salvo more powerful. It is common knowledge that the geese march array is conducive to long-range attacks, and in the military academy there is a more concise statement: crossfire coverage.

When the cavalry charged into battle, the main defense was the front, and they would hold their riding shields and hide their bodies behind the horses as much as possible. Horses have stronger vitality than people, and even if they are hit by an arrow, as long as they are not fatal, they will not fall immediately, but will continue to run for a certain distance. Therefore, even light cavalry will make a certain amount of protection on the front of the war horse.

The advantage of cross-fire is that it avoids the more defensive front, and at the same time attacks from both sides, so that the attacked person cannot resist and dodge, and the cross-fire net will be multiplied.

When the enemy has rushed to a distance of about 100 steps, such a calm and unhurried response is what makes the Wuhuan people feel the most chilling and shocks the students.

Originally, they thought that Wang Yu's sentence of the academy was to tell them the seeds of these officers, and to cultivate their general style, but now that they look at it, their understanding seems to have deviated greatly.

Think about it, too, if every soldier has the style of a general who collapses in front of Mount Tai and does not change color, it is no wonder that such an army is not strong.

Thinking like this, the students lost the courage to continue to ask Wang Ze for advice, but discussed with each other in a low voice, the scene just now was enough for everyone to digest for a long time.

"I knew that General Wen Ze was strict in governing the army, but I didn't think that it would stop there! This kind of talent is really beyond the reach of the dust. And if you think about it carefully, General Wen Ze is not a top talent in my Qingzhou, alas, all of a sudden, I have no confidence in my heart at all. ”

"Why did Brother Zeng Xian say this? Don't you know the past of General Wen Ze? He also started from a small soldier, and later after the hussar general's order, he soared to the sky. Although his military exploits do not seem to be as brilliant as the others, it is just that he is humble, don't you hear that the hussar general often refers to the big tree general? Hehe, actually, the hussar general's order is the regulations taught in the academy! ”

"Is that so? Oops, I can't be reminded by Brother Zhou, but the younger brother almost made a mistake, ashamed, ashamed. ”

"That's nothing, people have different levels of talent, and that's right. Bo Yan said before that General Wang and they had already had a countermeasure, but even now, they haven't fully figured it out...... Governor Wang's so-called success won't it be to lure a hundred Hu horsemen to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, right? When the Hu cavalry broke up, but there was no cavalry chasing and killing? Isn't it weird? ”

"Come to think of it, it is. Although the Yulin soldiers responded quickly, the effect of the hasty formation was limited after all, and there were only less than 100 Hu horsemen today, and they could be cut down under the horses cleanly. Don't send scouts, don't pull the reconnaissance network, after all, it's not a long-term way. ”

"Could it be that the Yulin Army is on top of the crossbow array, and can further change the formation? It doesn't matter how many people come here? ”

"Can it still change? Impossible, right? Even if General Wen Ze has such a commanding power, it will be too late for time, unless ......"

"Unless?"

"Unless it's the one that Wang Hussar said, the formation that can overcome the iron cavalry and charge with a chariot hanging formation......"

Everyone's eyes widened, and their breathing stopped, no one had ever heard of the name of that formation, but since it was the original creation of the hussar general, then there was nothing surprising that it was used in the hands of General Wen Ze.

If that's the case, then the harvest of this trip is simply overwhelming! The students suddenly recovered from the shock, and their eyes became eager, looking forward to Hu Qi coming again as soon as possible.

There were only two people who didn't join the discussion, Lu Xun kept frowning and thinking about something, while Xu Bin kept observing him.

Xu Bin himself was also puzzled, and it seemed that the strange behavior of the Wind Cavalry not launching a counterattack also caused trouble to this young genius.

Seeing this, Xu Bin was a little relieved, he actually had a sense of frustration about losing self-confidence for a while, but he was not too ambitious Compared with Yu Ban and other Qingzhou generals, the object of his comparison was his classmate Lu Xun.

Since neither of them has figured it out, it means that the gap is not too big, and if you redouble your efforts, there is still hope to catch up.

Thinking like this, he felt a burst of relief, and at this moment, Lu Xun, who had been frowning and thinking hard, suddenly moved, the young man looked up at the sky, and then glanced at the end of the smoke and dust a few times, and then, the brows he had been frowning opened up, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a smile with a sense of self-satisfaction.

Xu Bin's heart was shocked: Did he really figure it out? Figured out what? What are the generals behind ...... (To be continued)
