Although Zhang Song is good at wisdom and strategy, he is not familiar with the battle array, so he ordered it a little late. Some of the soldiers who did not have time to hold up the big shield fell in the rain of arrows, and there was no longer a chance to fight back with a crossbow.

Simply blinded by the darkness of the night, this rain of arrows did not cause a decisive blow. The rest of the men immediately picked up the hard crossbows that had already been loaded, and without aim, they shot out towards the opposite line array.

Helian Ruoshui shouted for a while, and after shooting at each other for a while, it was his side that suffered more losses.

Although the crossbow is not as convenient as the bow and arrow in sports warfare, it can be performed in short-range positional warfare, which is overwhelming.

In the face of the crossbow arrows that struck directly with a powerful penetrating force like flying locusts, even dodging seemed to be just a gamble with God.

If the water is not good, and a whistle is called, the cavalry under his command will pour out like a tide. Hundreds of horses galloped, orderly, riding horses around a large circle, surrounding the Snow Falcon Gang. Shoot your bow and arrow while running and shoot at the center.

This is the nomadic people's classic circle array shooting, with less encirclement and more.

However, in the heyday of the previous dynasty, the Xiongnu were conquered, and after suffering in the early stage, they did not come up with a way to restrain themselves. No matter how negligent Zhang Song is in the battle formation, it is not impossible to copy the methods of the former sages.

"With me as the core, form a circle! Set up a shield and shoot freely!"

The soldiers quickly changed their formation, surrounded Zhang Song in a small circle, set up a large shield, and returned fire with crossbows in the gap between the enemy's shots.

The big shield is strong and the crossbow is contracted, which is the best strategy summed up by the former Korean officers and sergeants against the Huns.

In Zhang Song's array, except for the lack of luck and the injury of a stray arrow, there were almost no casualties. On the other hand, on the Ruoshui side, because the distance between the riders is not large, every time the strong crossbow is shot, there will always be a gain, or a horse, or a person.

Before this, Helian Ruoshui had not fought with the officers and soldiers of the Central Plains seriously, so he didn't know about it. However, Zhang Song has read the complete classic battle cases of the previous dynasty against the Xiongnu, and it can be said that he has a bamboo in his chest. Ruoshui was not anxious, and let those herdsmen with bows be used as cannon fodder, so as to see the flaws in Zhang Song's formation.

This does not take long for the Prairie Eagle, the genius warrior of the Tiefu Department, Helian Ruoshui.

It is true that when the previous dynasty went on an expedition against the Huns, this battle formation could be said to be very tricky. The Xiongnu were also defeated by the bold strategic raids of the Central Plains court and the steady advance on the battlefield.

But now that Zhang Song's men and horses are being implemented, there is a fatal flaw, Ruoshui has already seen it in his eyes.

That's – there are few people.

In the previous wars, the Huns were surrounded by less and more, but now if the water fights less with more, the vertical shield can block the rain of arrows, but it can't stop the iron hooves that are pouring in.

There was another whistle, and the Hun riders, who had just ridden their horses in a circle, turned their horses' heads one after another, ran out for a distance, and drew their scimitars. Turning around again, the horse slowly accelerated until it began to charge with all its might towards the central circle.

Zhang Song finally changed his face. With the remaining sixty or seventy men under his command, it is almost impossible to have to divide the men to resist the shields and send men to shoot to withstand the reckless onslaught of nearly two hundred cavalry, unless......

Now that it is too late to be upset, how can he think that there will be a day when he calculates others all the time, and when this day comes, he will lose his most precious things, such as life.

If we had been able to work together with the staff of the dart bureau and proceed as planned, perhaps we would have already had a celebration banquet at this time.

"Hold the crossbow! Hold the crossbow for me! Shoot quickly! Shoot these Hun barbarians fiercely!"

Zhang Song's remorse was all transformed into anger and hatred for the Huns, even if the jade was burned, and he would never let them win.

It's a pity that I can't explain it to His Royal Highness.

Although his martial arts skills are not high, the speed at which he operates the crossbow machine is not slow. I don't know if it was stimulated by the smell of blood or the fear of death, and I couldn't stop trembling all over.

Thinking about it, how can a son of a family like him have experienced life and death. Facing the threat of death, although he knows that there is no way out, how can he not be afraid.

This was the case when I saw the Fenshui Dart Bureau fighting with that mysterious force in the Deserted Waterfall before, and the entire Snow Falcon Gang was all trembling in fear.

Zhang Song was under the weight of death, but his actions were more rapid, and he reloaded and fired in one go. His eyes were red from bloodshot, and he roared loudly, like a madman.

In the face of the crazy counterattack of this group of people before they died, Ruoshui's heart was dripping blood. In order to boost morale and fight quickly, the vanguard of this charge was the Golden Horde cavalry under his command, but he never thought that the other party would directly abandon the defense and fight for his life.

With such a charge, although it tore through the opponent's defenses, the more than thirty Golden Horde cavalry at the head of the platoon were directly shot as a sieve.

"Mr. Zhang, I had no intention of being an enemy of His Royal Highness the Prince, but Miss Tang has already had a marriage contract with me. If you disarm and surrender, I will not be embarrassed, and after eating and drinking, I will send you out of Dailai Town. ”

Zhang Song, who was desperate before, was stunned when he heard the words.

"Stop!

The desire to survive has made him lose all thought, and even the shrewdness and intelligence of the past no longer exist.

Ruoshui's stiff face finally began to bloom with a faint smile, and he slowly rode out of the ranks.

"Mr. Zhang, I admire your strategy very much, if it weren't for this misunderstanding, I often want to have a drink with you, why don't we just stop there?"

Zhang Song was overjoyed, but he didn't think about it carefully. After the life-threatening burden was lifted, he showed his exhaustion, threw down the crossbow machine, staggered and straightened up, almost unsteady on his feet, and lost his strength.

Before Zhang Song could breathe down and shout, a feathered arrow with the sound of breaking the air passed through his skull, carrying some red and white things, nailed into the sand.

Ruoshui sneered, withdrew his longbow, and waved his hand, and the Golden Horde cavalry under his command seemed to have been prepared for this, and immediately rode their horses to kill.

Although Zhang Song died, the people under his command were not really the children of the Snow Falcon Gang, but the sergeant of the private army shooting battalion of the Hejian Palace. Despite this drastic change, the dragons were leaderless, but they still reacted quickly, each holding a crossbow and firing back.

It's just that Zhang Song's high desire to survive made them not carry out effective killings when the enemy's formation was scattered, and the current desperate fight seemed so pale and powerless.

Zhang Song's ingenuity is more than that, but Hui is wise, but when they met for the first time, Ruoshui had already seen that he was a person who cherished his life. The two armies are at war, and those who spare their lives will not live the longest.

"Report, young master, it's not good, there is no longer a figure of our cavalry in the enemy's camp, but there is a foot army coming here, and in the night, I can't see the origin clearly. ”

Ruoshui frowned slightly when he heard this, no matter how brave the herdsmen under his father's account were, it was really a little bad to go to the battlefield. Now he took the lead and attacked the camp at night without completing the whole work, and this side provoked Zhang Song's subordinates to fight back. The Golden Horde cavalry under his command has not yet cleared out the remnants of the Snow Falcon Gang in front of them, and they have fallen into the situation of being attacked on their backs, and they don't know how many foot soldiers will come under the cover of night.

"Order, the Golden Horde cavalry continue to clear the crossbowmen, and the rest of the people will follow me to meet the enemy!"

Tang Meng took a deep look at Ruoshui on the horse, and secretly gestured behind him.
