The battle started again, Xu Huang calmly commanded his soldiers and horses to meet the battle, while observing the advance of the Huns, when watching the Huns continue to speed up regardless of their wounded soldiers, he couldn't help frowning, looking at such a fearless soldier Xu Huang couldn't help but think of the fierce battle with the elite of Taiping Dao in Guangzong.

"The archers obey the order, and the whole army does not stop diffusing γγγ" Although the archers of the Han army cannot be worn by everyone in a hundred steps, the lethality is still amazing when they are free to diffuse at sixty or seventy steps, and now in the face of the rapid charge of the Huns who are not afraid of life and death, Xu Huang also had to mention the order to shoot quickly.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu γγγ" Xu Huang ordered the whole battalion to shoot fiercely, and in the face of the overwhelming Hun soldiers, it could have happened without aiming at all, and almost in a breath they could launch a battle path to conquer the sky.
With the intensive launch of the Han army, the Huns, who had no defensive tools, even if they paid the price of blood, saw that the sharp arrows of the Han army continued to penetrate into the Huns' bodies through the not dense shields as if they had opened their eyes, and those Huns with inferior shields in their hands became the focus of care.
Generally speaking, the Han army is within a hundred steps of the killing range, so the Huns from the beginning of leveling the horse pit, cleaning up the thistle terrestris began to pay, especially after entering the fifty steps has become their nightmare begins, as the Huns entered the fifty steps has already been waiting for Zhao Yun to send the first sharp arrow, only to see the thumb-sized special arrow feather break free from the shackles of Zhao Yun's hand to shoot the sun bow and hit a Hun wooden shield to kill.
The arrow feather is the signal, and as Zhao Yun took the lead, more than 1,500 arrow feathers that were ready to be launched flew into the battle array, and once again set off a miserable scream, and at a moment, no matter how the Huns called their immortal heaven, they could not save them.
However, although the Han army's bow and arrows are sharp, but there is not much time left for them, the distance of a hundred steps is coming in an instant, with the Huns holding scimitars violently hitting the Jiang family's army's rejection of the horse and the hand-to-hand encounters began, the Huns who are located in the nine deaths and lives are not easy to come by, just looking back at the road full of arrow feathers to know the danger, a little calculation just after walking the short hundred steps of the Huns paid the price of more than a thousand people.
The two armies collided as if the tide slapped on the rock, and the blood overflowed, in the face of the fierce impact of the Huns, the camp shook slightly, and then returned to normal, as the Huns approached to break the camp and restored the original advantage, for a team that is good at attacking and its short arms are terrible, only to see the two armies collide when the soldiers abandoned the bow and arrow in their hands, and then a spear quickly stretched out the gap between the shields, and began a tragic strangulation.
With the assistance of the cloud cavalry guard, Xu Huang could give it a go without any scruples, and as the blood-stained spears shuttled between the horse shields, the fresh lives disappeared, and in an instant, in the transformation of various killing methods, blood splashed everywhere in front of the broken camp formation, stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere, and a wall of corpses appeared in front of the formation in a short time.
Although there was a huge difference in the strength of the two armies in close quarters, in the face of the desperate attack of the Huns, the broken camp also began to suffer casualties, especially after a large number of corpses blocked the broken camp and rejected the horses, the Huns broke through the defense of the broken camp with the ladder made of corpses.
"Kill the γγγγ" broke the camp battle array, Xu Huang was like a mad tiger, holding a giant axe to slash left and right, and there was no one under him, with his axe, Jiang and a Hun centurion split in half, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar like a killing god, that appearance is not worthy of the name of the five tigers.
If the Huns broke through the camp was just a small test for Xu Huang, then the next was the duel of life and death, with the sound of horns in the Huns, the Huns with heavy casualties began to retreat, but when some of the Huns ran back to their own camp with arrows, the three thousand people returned completely was less than one percent.
Of course, the death of these dead soldiers is not meaningless, looking at the warriors of the clan who were stained with blood in the return formation, Xu Bu smiled, although he paid the price of more than 2,000 people, but Xu Bu did not feel a loss, and their death just now at least opened up a road for the army to be charged by cavalry.
Immediately, Xu Bu didn't want to give the Han people too right deeds, and with a wave of his hand, he pointed out 5,000 cavalry and prepared to take turns to break through the Han army's defenses, and at the same time, in order to make the Han army unable to take care of each other, Xu Bu even sent more than 10,000 cavalry to feint and attack the other three parties in response to the cavalry's breakthrough of the hard-won fighters.
"Gongming is injuredγγγ "As soon as the Huns retreated, Zhao Yun came to Xu Huang's army to see his condition, but he was even more worried when he saw that the medical workers were bandaging his wounds.
"It's okay, I just accidentally pulled my arm into my mouth, and the wound is not deep and it will be healed in two or three days," Seeing that the person who asked was Zhao Yun, Xu Huang immediately got up and moved his arm and said magnificently.
Although he didn't believe Xu Huang's injury, seeing that the medical worker also nodded to him and said that it was okay Zhao Yun was not good to interfere, after all, it was the time to use people in the big war with the enemy, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "It's okay to have nothing to do, the brothers in the camp fought well just now, how are the casualties?"
"The barbarians are not a small loss, this time they have suffered some losses, just thirty-two brothers have been killed in battle, more than 100 people have been injured, but these barbarians have not been cheapened, and it seems that the most people who escaped back are only two or three hundredγγγ"
"I just saw that the purpose of the Huns this time should be to clear the road, it seems that it will not be long before their cavalry should be dispatched, but our pressure is not smallγγγγγ"
"Zilong rest assured, I have prepared the jade shatter to break the camp, even if the whole army is annihilated, I will not let the Huns step on the camp, but then I will still rely on the cover of my brother."
"The Cloud Rider will advance and retreat with his brother, wait for Zilong to obey the command of Brother Gongmingγγγ"
Listening to Zhao Yun take the initiative to give up the main and secondary, Xu Huang couldn't help but thank him in his heart, although they were defending one side when arranging the troops, but according to the status of the army, they were all equals, and there was no order from the lord Jiang Qi, Zhao Yun didn't have to listen to him at all, and now before the war, he could hear Zhao Yun say this, Xu Huang naturally wanted to thank: "Thank you Zilong, if Huang is still alive after this battle, he should drink three hundred cups with Zilong,,"
"That Zilong is waiting for Brother Gongmingγγγ"
"Report γγγ General Qiyu, the Hun cavalry has been dispatchedγγγγγ" Xu Huang and Zhao Yun had just finished talking about the main and secondary, and then they heard the report from their own soldiers, and immediately the two of them couldn't care about being polite, and they hurriedly returned to the camp to prepare for the most severe test.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ accompanied by the desolate sound of horns, the Huns resounded with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and with the order of Xu Bu, nearly half of the Hun cavalry drove to the target with their respective tasks, and the largest of them was under the leadership of their commander, with a bow and arrows, howling and rushing to the road opened up by the tribesmen with their lives.
With the cavalry trampling on the corpses, the blood-paved road, the Huns attacked like locusts towards the broken camp, as the former overlord of the grassland, the tribe on horseback, the Huns' cavalry shooting was alone in the grassland, even if their bows and arrows were not as sharp as the Han people, but they would still kill people.
When the cavalry went out of the Huns, even if the broken camp came with a rapid shot, thousands of arrows flew into the broken camp with the speed of the horse, even if the power was not large, it caused a small commotion in the broken camp, but fortunately, the Han army had a strong shield, and the casualties led by the heavy armor were not large.
The cavalry charge a hundred paces away is only a matter of a few breaths, and there is no time to break through the camp with only two arrows to return fire, but fortunately, there are cloud horses with excellent archery skills behind them to escort them, and they just need to fight in close combat.
In the face of the impact of the Hun cavalry, in order not to lose the power of the horse shield, long before the arrival of the Hun cavalry, Xu Huang ordered the entire camp to retreat ten steps back to resist the enemy, so as to prevent the cavalry from flying into the formation with the corpse left just now.
But even so, the cavalry broke the formation is not as good as the infantry, the cavalry at full speed when the speed is definitely more than a thousand catties, in order to prevent the Huns from smashing the horse rejection array with a surprise attack, the soldiers behind the horse shield quickly put down the shield and used to support the fulcrum of the shield deeply into the ground, and the soldiers who carried the several zhang long horse pistol behind the shield also quickly put the spear head against the ground, otherwise the war cavalry may be the first batch of people to die in battle.
Everything was just ready, only to hear the 'boom', a large number of war horses rushed to the front of the formation, for a time there were countless blood gourds, the cavalry impact has been formed infantry with a little crazy, but also can be the first to come soldiers are some mortal people, in the face of spears like a forest of rejecting the horse shield, the first person to attack, whether it is to hit the shield and die, or jump horse to be trampled to death, the result is almost the same.
Therefore, it can also be said that as long as the first charge of the cavalry is subtracted from its speed, the infantry is still very advantageous, especially the light cavalry that can only win by speed, as long as the war cavalry is trapped in the formation, it will basically be victorious, of course, if you have an advantage in strength, otherwise even if you hold a group of casualties, it will not be small, and there will still be the possibility of annihilation.
"Whoaγγγγ" "Formation γγγ", with the fierce impact of the Huns, after paying hundreds of casualties, finally knocked away a piece of horse shield and the soldiers behind the shield, the shield flew one after another, and a road to death was immediately opened, and in the face of the sudden loophole, Xu Huang fell down with a giant axe and led his own soldiers to rush up.
Killed by Xu Huang's heroic spirit, as the most elite foot soldier of the Jiang family's army, the camp broke the elite ability, and immediately the soldiers who had been waiting for the battle formed a small formation under the leadership of their respective chiefs and began to resist the enemy, as the formation of the infantry cavalry to break the camp has been practiced a hundred times, and it can be brought at hand, and then with a knife and axe holding a round shield in front of the defense, the pikemen flanks on both sides of the enemy kill, the archers in the middle of the cover of the army formation into the enemy camp, in an instant the Huns who worked hard to break into the camp were either cut off their legs and fell off their horses and died, Either the cold arrow in the middle is not guaranteed, and the most unlucky one is even stabbed into a hornet's nest by a spear, and he can't die anymore. β
