"Three hundred steps!"

You don't need to recognize Xu Bin to know that this exclamation was shouted by his classmates, and it is rare for the soldiers of the Yulin Army to make such unauthorized noise.

Through Lu Xun's prompts and Wang Ze's military orders, the students have fully understood the deployment of the army.

Before the war, the deputy general Ban or the main general Zhang Liao, or even the main prince Wang Yu, drew up the basic principle of the Eastern Crusade -- a quick battle and a quick victory. Therefore, in the face of the harassment of Hu Qi, the army turned a blind eye, and after only making a minimum of precautions, it marched at full speed.

Of course, whether it is Yu Ban, who is known for his prudence, or Zhang Liao, the coach who is deeply trusted by the lord, he will not be too careless because of choking. Therefore, the army should now be in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. And the previous many pauses, the purpose is also clear, to lure the enemy!

That's right, it's to lure the enemy to attack!

Luring the cavalry to charge the battle with the marching troops, even if he had extraordinary confidence in his own team, Xu Bin still sweated in his heart, and the palm of his hand was slippery and greasy, but he didn't notice it.

In fact, he genuinely felt that the plan was a bit too risky.

Wouldn't it be nice to have the cavalry take turns guarding the perimeter? Xu Bin is really hard to understand. That's right, if the light cavalry chases each other, no matter how elite the wind cavalry is, they can't catch up with the prepared Hu cavalry, but as long as the prying eyes of the Hu cavalry are shielded, won't the army be able to maintain a normal marching speed? Is it necessary to take such a big risk to lure the enemy?

You know, although uneducated, Hu Qi is not stupid, they have developed beastly instincts in their hunting and bandit careers.

They are very patient.

From the moment they appeared to this moment, two or three hours have passed, and during this time, they have been repeating the same movements, and if they are ordinary people, they have long been in a state of interest, but looking at the energetic appearance of those Hu people on horseback, it is simply the same as at the beginning.

They are also very skillful.

Every feint attack is very realistic, even if Xu Bin has been telling himself in his heart that this is fake, at most at a distance of four hundred steps, Hu Qi will turn the horse's head and will not really rush over.

However, he still felt trembling when he faced the hundreds of horses' hooves that shook the earth with a thunderous sound, and the horsemen on his horse waved their swords and shouted wildly, as if they were charging wildly.

Xu Bin is not a coward, in the Battle of Horseshoe Liang, he also rushed to the front line, and Changge in his hand also assassinated more than one enemy. But only now did he understand why Governor Wang and General Wen Ze always said that the Hu cavalry of the horseshoe beam was not in the best condition, and if both sides fought in the best condition, let alone total annihilation, even the victory or defeat was not certain.

It was only at this time that he truly realized the state of mind of his father Xu He when he recounted the past. Pure infantry units are really helpless in the face of light cavalry coming and going like the wind! You don't have to fight, this constant pressure alone can crush people.

Now he is only facing the Wuhuan cavalry whose quality is far inferior, and what my father is facing back then is the predecessor of the wind cavalry - the unparalleled white horse righteous servant in the world!

Thinking of Zhao Yun's achievements after he got out of the fortress, Xu Bin felt a little sympathetic to the Xianbei people who faced the wind cavalry at that time. The light cavalry combat method is played to the extreme, it is simply invincible, not to mention that it is still under the leadership of General Zilong? I heard that General Zilong has extremely keen observation and intuition, no matter what the formation, as long as you sweep your eyes, you can find the flaws in the formation.

Hu Qi did not have the talent of General Zilong, but their patience made up for it, in two or three hours, they launched feints again and again almost without interruption, I don't know how many times, Xu Bin was deceived by them, almost thinking that they would rush straight to the front of the battle in the next moment.

In the midst of so many feints, as long as there is a real attack, if it is not done well, it will cause considerable losses to the army, and there is no way to defend against it.

If you prepare early, you don't need to put out a big spear and a dense formation, as long as the soldiers stop advancing, Hu Qi will be satisfied with the horse and turn, thinking that he has succeeded.

As for preparing late...... What kind of disaster it would be to be hit by the cavalry rushing at high speed without cover, Xu Bin already had enough understanding.

So he didn't understand Wang Ze's current arrangement, but he could understand the exclamation of his classmates. Obviously, Hu Qi is not satisfied with the current situation and wants to come up with tougher measures.

Three hundred steps is the maximum range of effective killing of a strong crossbow, and it is also the maximum limit that a strong bow can reach. Breaking into such a distance means that Hu Qi has enough determination and is ready to rush hard!

"There's a ...... over here, too Closer ...... Two, two hundred and fifty steps! Exclamations came one after another, and from Hu Qi's resolute advance, the students all felt the determination to complete the task at any cost.

Following the first group of 100 Hu cavalry who crossed the 300-step cordon, several groups of Hu cavalry ranging from 30, 40 to 60, and 70 men also crossed this red line one after another, and kept approaching the next cordon.

And the army was still moving silently, as if Hu Qi did not exist at all.

"Brother Wang?" Xu Bin turned to Wang Ze, the corner of his eyes happened to sweep over Lu Xun's face, and the young man who had been talking eloquently and calmly was also pale at the moment, and he seemed to be nervous enough. Xu Bin can understand that the gap between theory and practice is always very large, and those who have not really faced the cavalry attack really have no way to understand what kind of harsh reality his father and his colleagues faced back then.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Ze waved his hand, his demeanor was still as gentle as before, and he said earnestly: "This is a very valuable experience, you must cherish it, and don't live up to the good intentions of the lord." ”

"But ......" Of course Xu Bin knows this truth, but the problem is that what he wants to say now is not this, no matter how elite the infantry is, it always takes a certain amount of time to prepare against the cavalry, right? Hu Qi is now infinitely closer by two hundred paces, if it is any closer......

The so-called "three arrows" in battle means that from the moment the enemy enters the range of the bow, the archer can usually only fire the bow three times, and then the enemy is close. The effective killing distance of the infantry strong bow is usually within one hundred and fifty paces, and the speed of the cavalry charge is much faster than that of the infantry, and the distance of one or two hundred steps can be described as instantaneous.

The Yulin army relied on discipline and equipment against the cavalry, and it took at least a stick of incense to form a formation from the time the army stopped, but once the Hu cavalry crossed the distance of 200 paces and really launched an attack, how could there be so much time to prepare?

"Don't worry." Wang Ze reciprocated with a relieved smile, only his eyes became sharper and sharper. Seeing this, Xu Bin was a little relieved, it seemed that Inspector Wang didn't care at all, but he was fully prepared.

However, when he followed Wang Ze's line of sight and turned his head to look at the enemy, the heart that he had just put down suddenly lifted up again, and he kept mentioning his throat!

After the two hundred paces of the cordon, Hu Qi finally could not hold on, they slowed down slightly, and the distance between them was no longer as close as before, and when they reached the distance of one hundred and fifty paces, they simply turned around and ran parallel to the army.

That's just that, of course, there is nothing to worry about, but not all Hu cavalry do this, the hundred-man team that started the charge at the beginning, with the cover of his companions, not only did not slow down, but accelerated and rushed over. By the time Xu Bin could discern the movement of this team of Hu cavalry in the smoke and dust, they had already rushed to within a hundred steps!

"Well done, Nabuli, rush in, rush in!" Wu Yan laughed wildly, forbearance for more than two hours, for the sake of this moment, "Killing one is enough, killing two will be earned, the descendants of the Immortal Heaven, show your bravery to the fullest!" ”

This cavalry team was only a hundred people, although they were taken by surprise by the Han army, it was impossible to expect them to really create many results against the sky. Wuyan had arranged it in advance, this team of people was a death squad, as long as they rushed in and killed the Han army as much as possible.

Even if it was one for another, he didn't feel at a loss. What's more, the marching foot soldiers were unprepared and were knocked into the queue by the cavalry, how could there be a reason for one for one? With a war horse alone, you can knock down two or three hundred Han troops, and the cavalry on the horse is not a puppet, can't anyone cut it?

Of course, the Han army, which responded to the battle in a hurry, moved quite quickly, and it seemed that there would be some losses before engaging in battle. But in any case, this time it will definitely be a major lesson for the Han army.

Qi Zhou was not as optimistic as Wu Yan, although he couldn't stop the excitement in his heart when he saw the Wuhuan cavalry rushing through a hundred paces and the Han army stopped fighting. But soon, he was frightened by the agility of the Han army.

"Stop ......" Wang Ze's angry command pierced through the horse's hooves and stirred up thunder.

The lieutenant is slightly one level lower than the lieutenant, the latter is the battalion officer, and Wang Ze is the battalion deputy, when the first battalion troops march on both sides, he is responsible for commanding the half battalion of soldiers and horses on the other side, and the position of this team of Hu cavalry attack happens to be above his defensive line.

"Boom!" Thousands of people raised their feet and put down at the same time, and the roar was like this, the army naturally advanced and retreated together, if a battalion of soldiers and horses fought in place, and the others continued to go their own ways, the army formation would have been shattered long ago.

The "turn ......" orders sounded one after another.

Wang Ze's half of the battalion turned around in unison, and the soldiers in the front row made a strange move, they handed the spear in their hands back, and the soldiers in the back row quickly took it, and then handed over a strange-shaped thing in return......

The shape is strange, it is for the Wuhuan people, the moment he saw this thing, Qi Zhou's pupils suddenly constricted, it was not a strange thing, but the most common and rarest crossbow in the Han army - the big yellow bow!

The sound of the "Wang......" command seemed to follow some strange rhythm, leading the rhythm of the dance, and the Han soldiers in the first row squatted down together, picked up the crossbows in their hands, and pointed upwards obliquely, pointing forward to the enemy, and the movements were orderly and not chaotic at all.

The spear in the hands of the soldiers in the second row was also missing, and was replaced by a large yellow bow of the same standard. The crossbow machine was held flat in front of his face, and Mori Han's sharp arrows emitted a chilling light.

Qi Zhou opened his mouth to exhale, but found that his mind was completely suppressed by this strange beat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

The Hu cavalry who rushed into battle had realized that something was wrong, and became more and more crazy, pushing the speed of the war horse to the extreme, and the distance of fifty steps crossed in an instant, and the remaining thirty or forty steps seemed to be close at hand, as if he could touch the helmet of the opposite Han army by stretching out his hand.

However, an illusion is an illusion after all, and a cold command voice has ruined all hope.

"Wind!" The vigorous and powerful command brought a gust of wind.

"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! More than 400 big yellow bows were launched at the same time, and a storm of steel raged within a hundred steps in front of the Han army.
