Footsteps sounded, and a wooden wall appeared outside the spear formation. The crossbowman carrying a shield was attacking. These shields were the size of door panels, with their own brackets, and could stand directly on the ground and form a shield wall between them.

Because the crossbowman carries these big shields, it looks like a turtle carrying a shell from a distance, so it is also called "turtle crossbow".

These crossbow soldiers are Huangzhou Prefecture soldiers. They are specially trained to set up shields and shoot crossbows on weekdays. They can become auxiliary to military formations and are specifically responsible for shooting against enemy archers or archers. Crossbow soldiers use iron-arm winch crossbows, which are more powerful than stepping on crossbows.

The crossbowmen were very fast, and soon they formed shield walls on the periphery of the spear formation. Countless bows and riders wandered in the wind and sand, shooting arrows at the crossbowmen behind the shield wall. However, the crossbowmen wearing armored were covered by the shield wall and could calmly aim at the moving horses and then pull the motor.

The crossbow arrow shot from the iron-arm winch crossbow was extremely powerful, with the arrow body opens a blood groove. Most of the war horses that were not armed were bleeding when they were caught. The war horses that could not bear the pain were not long before they fell to the ground.

After a while, the bow and cavalry gradually became at a disadvantage when shooting with the crossbowmen.

For a bow and cavalry, you can charge even if you fail to shoot an arrow. Although there is no horse spear, the impact force of the man and the horse is also very great, and you can knock the man down and then step on him to death.

However, the bow and cavalry who wanted to charge was a little hesitant to face the shield wall. At this time, the spear formation had already been formed, and it was meaningless to attack the crossbowmen. As the sound of the horn of the formation sounded, the bow and cavalry dispersed.

Apart from the whimpering wind, it seemed to be quiet on the battlefield. This rare silence indicates that a new storm is about to come.

The north wind that had been blowing violently seemed to weaken, as if a wall was blocking the upper direction, blocking the bitter north wind. The crossbowmen used the shield wall to shake the strings of the crossbow, looked outside with a breath, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

Just like a hunter's heart palpitations when encountering a beast in the forest.

The sound of horse hooves was densely filled with tides, and the earth was trembling, as if thousands of troops were moving towards the attacking army formation. The crossbowmen were stunned for a moment, and were awakened by the horns and shouts in the formation: "Retreat, withdraw quickly!"

He lifted up the big shield and turned to his back. The crossbow soldier turned around and ran away. The big shield was blocking his back. Even if he ran away from the enemy, he was not afraid of arrows. However, this look really looked like a turtle from a distance.

As soon as he ran to the edge of the spear formation, tall black shadows suddenly appeared in the wind and sand on the north, and followed the sound of horse hooves, approaching the spear formation.

The armored cavalry with armored horses is the most powerful heavy cavalry of this era. No arrow can stop their progress. After the assembly, the armored cavalry that has already rushed up has an unparalleled impact and has almost no opponents on the battlefield.

Even the spear formation and spear formation that have been formed will suffer heavy casualties under the direct impact of armored cavalry, because people and horses weigh hundreds of kilograms, even if they are stabbed by spears or spears, they will also crash into the military formation with impetus, and the armored soldiers hit by them will be destroyed even if they are not dead.

The armored cavalry used to attack the spear formation and spear formation that were ready for battle, with obvious effects, but it was a tactic of killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 by themselves. Because armored cavalry is much more valuable than the worthless spear soldiers.

The armor worn by humans is not low, while the armor worn by horses is even higher. It can carry cavalry wearing heavy armor while wearing vests. Such war horses are horses that are horses among horses.

Using expensive armored cavalry to forcibly collide with a spear/spear array with intact formations, this behavior is like burning brocade to keep warm. Not every head coach has the courage and financial resources to make up his mind to use it, but for the powerful prime minister Yuchi Dun, this is not a problem.

The armored cavalry were divided into several groups, forming an iron wall to press towards the spear formation. The cavalry looked at the spear jungle in front of them, without any fear. They wanted to use their flesh and blood to smash the other's spear formation to pieces.

The comrades who followed him would step these ungrateful spearmen into flesh paste!

The crossbow soldiers carrying large shields shot the last round of arrows at the armored cavalry and then retreated into the spear formation. This round of arrows failed to curb the charge of the armored cavalry, and none of them fell down.

The armored cavalrymen who were dying were as if they were homeless, held the horse lances in their hands. Just as they were less than thirty steps away from the spear formation, the first row of cavalry suddenly rushed forward and fell to the ground.

For example, armored cavalry entering the wall tripped by the scoops made of iron wire arranged on the ground. These scoops are set up by other soldiers when crossbowmen form shield walls to shoot against the bow and cavalry, and other soldiers use shield walls to protect them.

There were three iron wires and horse ropes, and they were fixed to the ground with iron nails on the door. They were extremely tough and tripped the fierce armored cavalry and turned the horse over. Seeing this, the cavalry pulled the reins and turned the direction, and the overall speed instantly slowed down.

At this moment, the sound of trumpets sounded in the spear formation, and then the spearmen shouted, and the Pingdu spears moved forward quickly. They charged towards the large number of cavalry who were turning their horses' heads, and the tiger-head flag that was moving with the army fluttered in the wind.

From the beginning of its birth, the Hulin Army was an army built with infantry against cavalry as its goal of building a military. In addition to forming formations, the spearmen had another tactic, which was to try to stagnate the cavalry's speed, slow it down, and then charge on foot.

The spearmen of the Hulin Army, even if they die, will die on the way to charge!

The armored cavalry whose speed dropped sharply did not expect that the enemy spearmen would dare to attack the entire army, and the infantry would charge against the cavalry. Such behavior was either crazy or stupid. What surprised them even more was that the opponent's movement speed was unexpectedly fast.

After a long and rigorous training, the Hulin Army spearmen can still move forward quickly even when they are wearing heavy armor and must maintain their formation. They rushed forward before the armored cavalry in the direction of changing speed.

The cavalry that lost its speed was the fish belly that was ravaged by the spear/spike soldiers among the chaos.

The war horses were wearing heavy vests and carrying heavier cavalry. Once the speed slowed down, they would not be so fast or flexible when they wanted to speed up. They stabbed the spear like a forest, and there was no place for people and horses to hide.

Even though they were wearing heavy armor, they still could not be indestructible under the spear. Many cavalry were stabbed to death directly, and some cavalry jumped off their horses and pulled out their swords to try to trap the beasts, but were also stabbed to death by the spear.

A cavalry tried to leave when they rode their horses, and the horse's legs were tripped by the halberd soldiers with a hooked axe and halberd, and then they raised the axe and halberd and slashed it, and their heads were opened.

The armored cavalry who had been aggressive in the past are now like dogs falling into oil pans, constantly struggling and wailing, their bodies are dismembered, and gradually there is no movement. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from both sides, and a large number of cavalry rushed over in the wind and sand.

It was the cavalry attacking the east and west wings of Chai Village. When they learned that the battle was fierce in the north was in full swing, they were ordered to come to reinforce. Seeing that the enemy troops in Chai Village dared to take the initiative, and now they exposed their ribs and backs. The cavalry launched a direct charge without hesitation.

At this time, the Hulin Army's spear formation was still in charge, and the four square formations remained slightly separated from each other, forming a "field" character to support each other.

It can defend in all four directions, and there is no saying that it is exposed. Facing the large number of cavalry suddenly rushed from both wings, the soldiers quickly prepared to defend themselves, clasped their spears tightly, and bravely faced the enemy cavalry that was about to rush into the formation.
