Because it was arranged behind the Wugang car, there were 6,000 crossbowmen of the official army. No matter how Huang Fu Song changed the formation, most of the crossbowmen still failed to retreat to the rear in the crowded and chaotic formation. And these crossbowmen only have bows and crossbows as weapons, and it is not easy to survive in the face of the crushing of armor and cavalry, and then they have to use bows and crossbows to meet the galloping iron horses, and the horse lances and spears they brought together, and the broken gold knives that come from the swing, naturally these crossbowmen can't stop them at all, and they are unsurprisingly wiped out, and they have no power to fight back.

After a short period of panic, he finally organized two shieldmen with 4,000 men and three spearmen with 6,000 men to form a strict phalanx in the front of the chaotic Chinese military formation.

However, the armor quickly swept away the crowded officers and soldiers in front of the phalanx, and then under the leadership of Cherrigi, they slammed into the shield wall with shields stacked and merged, spears and spears pierced from the gaps in the shields.

This group of officers and soldiers was well trained, and after the first column of shieldbearers and pikemen, the second column was equally evenly arranged with shieldbearers and pikemen, the second column was followed by the third, and the third column was followed by the fourth. That is, even if a soldier falls in the first column, the soldier in the corresponding position in the second column will immediately fill it; If the second column falls again, the third column will continue to be replaced, and so on, until the phalanx is kept from being broken by the iron cavalry. When the iron cavalry is weak, the officers and infantry who form the phalanx can take advantage of the situation to counterattack and win a complete victory.

Originally, under normal circumstances, the phalanx composed of shields and spears, as long as the soldiers were strictly trained, knew how to cooperate with each other, and attacked and protected as a whole, they could maintain the strict order of the phalanx and win the final victory under the impact of even heavy cavalry.

It is true that the officers and soldiers are also well-trained, but today, the officers and soldiers have experienced the burning of the Wugang car, the thick smoke, the blinding sun, and the panic and chaos throughout the army. In particular, the panic and chaos have already confused the minds of the officers and soldiers, and most of their morale has been discouraged.

The armor and cavalry are heavy cavalry, and the mission of the heavy cavalry is to crash into formation. The first cavalry pretended not to say anything, everyone gritted their teeth, and desperately crashed into the very tight phalanx, that Huangfu Song hoped to use this to block the phalanx of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's charging momentum.

The war horse neighed, the warrior roared, and the armor and cavalry carried the potential energy of a hundred catties of iron armor and a thousand catties of war horses, and crashed into the shield wall of the phalanx. Suddenly, shields shattered and sawdust flew sideways; One by one, the officers and soldiers were knocked down, trampled by the horses' hooves, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. The first column of the phalanx was so easily flattened.

Bao Hong shouted like crazy: "Make up for it!" Make up for it! ”

The second column of the phalanx also quickly filled the gap, but with the slightest incessant attack of the armored cavalry, more gaps immediately appeared in the second column, more shields were trampled to pieces, and more spears were broken helplessly.

Immediately, the second column was broken, and the area that was broken was even larger. Cherrigi rushed to the phalanx as if they were crazy, and while the soldiers of the third column were dumbfounded and had no time to fill the gap, they continued to penetrate deep into the third column, and then broke through the third column.

When the charge reached here, it was already in the middle of this phalanx of more than 10,000 people. As soon as the armor rushed here, the entire phalanx was completely broken. Bao Hong frantically commanded all the remaining shieldmen and pikemen to gather here in the armor, and he wanted to surround the armor.

However, the phalanx of the cavalry must have been arranged very compactly and densely, the soldiers were all crowded together, and the weapons were all facing one direction, and it was difficult to move. Moreover, the armor and cavalry equipment had already broken the phalanx, almost dividing the phalanx into two, so no matter how Bao Hong moved, the infantry phalanx could not form an encirclement.

And the armor and cavalry continued to penetrate, and all the officers and infantry who stood in front of them were trampled into powder, forming a path that allowed them to continue to rush.

At the same time, Ma Chao and other light horsemen, who were chasing after the armor and cavalry, also quickly cleared the remnants of the enemy on the charging road, and killed in front of the phalanx hastily arranged by Huangfu Song and Bao Hong. Seeing that the armor and cavalry had already broken this phalanx, the officers and infantry in the formation cried and called their mothers. Ma Chao was afraid that the number of armored cavalry was too small, and it would be swallowed up by the phalanx of thousands of people left, so he ordered Ma Dai to lead 5,000 light cavalry, along the bloody road opened up by armored cavalry, rushed into the phalanx, and continued to ravage this phalanx that had been ravaged with the powerful impact of cavalry. With the arrival of five thousand light cavalry, the collapse of the infantry phalanx of the officers and troops was even faster.

Yan Xing, Pang De and him, on the other hand, divided their troops and led their troops around the phalanx to kill the officers and soldiers who were crowded behind the phalanx.

Huangfu Song can organize a phalanx in the chaotic Chinese army array, and he can organize a second phalanx. Although the first phalanx of more than 10,000 people was defeated, fortunately, it also bought a lot of time for Huangfu Song. While the Xiliang Army was still attacking the first phalanx, Huangfu Song stepped up his dispatch and rearranged the remaining 40,000 thousands of infantry of the Chinese army to form a larger phalanx.

Seeing that this phalanx was formed, Huangfu Song finally dared to wipe the countless beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

But Huangfu Song miscalculated. Because he and Bao Hong concentrated their shields on the first phalanx, the second phalanx did not have as many layers of shields as the former.

And because the time was too hasty, Huangfu Song also failed to arrange the troops very carefully, resulting in the crossbowmen, pikemen, sword and axe hands, and soldiers using different weapons in the phalanx, all of which could not be distributed regularly and neatly, but were scattered and crowded together. What's even more terrifying is that the people who formed this large phalanx were not only officers and soldiers, but also soldiers of the family who had just been attached.

Immediately, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De bypassed the first phalanx and rushed to the last phalanx. Huangfu Song hurriedly ordered a salvo of bows and crossbows, but only a few arrows flew out of the formation and flew towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. First, because most of the crossbowmen in the official army were placed in the forefront before, and they had already been killed; The second reason is that the crossbowmen in the phalanx are not concentrated in one place, and they cannot exert the effect of arrow rain.

Sporadic arrows shot at Xiliang Tieqi, but they only shot down dozens of people. Ma Chao ordered the three parts to disperse, Yan Xing led his troops to attack from the left of the large phalanx, Pang De led his troops to attack from the right of the large phalanx, and he led his troops to attack the large phalanx from the front.
