No matter how Xiahoudun wielded his sword and slashed, these swords and shields of the Zhao army gritted their teeth one by one to resist, and with the combined force of many people, they simply withstood Xiahoudun's series of heavy blows.To say that Xiahoudun's vigorous slashing is definitely not to be underestimated, almost not inferior to the collision of an adult war horse.It's just that these sword and shield soldiers are grouped together in small phalanxes, even if the shield soldiers in the front row can't support them alone.But the sergeants behind him resisted together, like a small hill, and resisted Xiahoudun's violent force.And once Xiahoudun's offensive slowed down, among the sword and shield soldiers, a spear would suddenly stab, which could be described as a sneak attack in the cold.If it weren't for the fact that he had a certain amount of martial arts and agility, it would be difficult to resist the surprise attack of this spear, and the cavalry that followed Xiahoudun with him already had many people, and it was difficult to avoid the luck, and the people who fell off their horses from the guns continued to intensify.At this moment, Xiahoudun's cavalry team is like a group of ants that have no idea, scurrying around on the hot pot.Seeing that everyone couldn't defeat it at all, the shield soldiers of the Zhao army on both sides, a sergeant couldn't help but step forward, persuaded Xiahoudun, who was going crazy, and said: "General, if it continues, I'm afraid the casualties of the brothers will be bigger and bigger."
The defense of these shield soldiers of the Zhao army is too strong, and it is difficult for us to break through at all. ”Perhaps hearing the sergeant's persuasion, after Xiahoudun finished slashing the last sword, he couldn't help but take a breath and looked at the battle situation in front of him.Although with the efforts of Party B and the others just now, only a few of these shield soldiers of the Zhao army were knocked to the ground.And even if it was killed out of a gap, someone would soon replenish it, and it would be inexhaustible, and what shocked Xiahoudun even more was that under the fight just now.The cavalry that followed him, there were nearly dozens of people in the B army, all of whom were assassinated by the opponent's cold guns.If he continues to stubbornly fight, I am afraid that in less than a moment, the cavalry of more than 1,000 people will be defeated by himself.But at the moment, the drums and horns of the B army, as well as the general flag, did not make any moves at all, and Xiahoudun did not attack, nor did he retreat.However, Xiahoudun is definitely not a matter of retreat at this moment, as the first attacking soldiers and horses of the Wei State, if he leads the troops to retreat because he cannot attack at this moment, then the morale of the rest of the soldiers and horses will be implicated by himself.The most important point is that Xiahoudun believes that if he leads his troops and horses back at this moment, then these Zhao troops will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue, and there will be countless casualties among the soldiers and horses of Army B at that time.In fact, it was not only Xiahoudun who faced this dilemma, but also Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jiang Wei, and Wu Jun's Xu Sheng, Lü Meng, and Ling Tong.These nine cavalry generals, when leading the cavalry to rush to the camp of the Zhao army, tore open a passage one after another, just like Xiahou Dun.Entering along this passage, everyone entered the formation of the Zhao army, but everyone seemed to have entered a separate passage.No matter how the crowd rushed and killed, the shields on both sides were like a solid human wall, trapping everyone firmly in it.And the three generals Xu Chu, Wei Yan and Han Dang, the infantry led by them were relatively better, although they were also facing the same dilemma when they rushed into the Zhao army.But in close combat, infantry obviously has a certain advantage over cavalry, and is even the nemesis of cavalry.If it is in the middle of the two armies, in the ancient field, the cavalry is indeed the nemesis of the infantry.But fighting a war is not a one-on-one contest, nor is it a one-on-one fight, but a confrontation between the entire army and the army.Especially in this era of ancient cold weapon warfare, the most important thing is the formation.The cavalry is divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry, the light cavalry has strong movement ability, the heavy cavalry has strong impact ability, and thousands of troops and horses rush over, and it is difficult for the infantry to resist this thunderous momentum.Once the cavalry rushes into the army, it has a certain advantage, just imagine a group of trained cavalry, rushing into the infantry at high speed.Then, with the condescending advantage of being on top of the war horse, it was like chopping vegetables and melons, killing the infantry around him, and that kind of psychological pressure was enough to make the infantry collapse instantly.If the cavalry crushes the infantry's mental defense line at this moment, it is equivalent to defeating the infantry's formation, and there is no combat effectiveness at all, let alone commanding the battle.At that time, except for a small number of infantry, trying to resist stubbornly, many other people were thinking about how to escape, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the consequences can be imagined.And it is not impossible for the infantry to defeat the cavalry, if you look at the history, it is not difficult to find that there are many cases of infantry defeating cavalry in ancient history.Moreover, with a small number of infantry, the cavalry was defeated several times over, and in all cases it was the most common tactic, that is, not to let the cavalry rush into the infantry.In the battle between cavalry and infantry, the infantry in the face of the light cavalry who are in strict formation have no chance to attack and attack, so you can be sure of as many casualties as you come.The only thing that can be impacted is the heavy cavalry, which has the ability to charge.The role of the light cavalry is only to harass, pursue and flank attacks.If the heavy cavalry wants to break through the infantry formation, it has extremely high requirements, not only in the war horse, but also in a neat charge.More than 1,000 heavy cavalry charged at the same time, you alone threw others a few streets, a war horse rushed into the infantry, the infantry with a heavy huge shield, as long as the death to support the war horse after the collision, the cavalry charge immediately collapsed.Especially for a group of hoplites, it is still difficult for the cavalry to rush into it after forming a strict formation.It is important that these hoplites maintain strict discipline, maintain a neat formation and the consciousness of fighting to the death, and it is really hard to say who will die.The heavy cavalry attacked the infantry camp, and if the number was white, it was a hammer deal, and if you chose a good place to attack, you would have no chance to turn around if you rushed forward.In front are enemy infantry, followed by cavalry that follows closely, crowded together, and you simply have no chance to turn around.Either rush into the formation of the marchers, or wait to be counterattacked, unless you are able to penetrate the ranks of enemy infantry.Of course, there is also a premise that the problem of distance and speed, short-distance war horses cannot run at all, their speed cannot be improved, and the strength of the collision has no effect.This is also the tactic that Guo Jia and Xu Shu suddenly turned into a circle this time when they waited for the cavalry of Wei, Shu and Wu to rush after they initially set up a formation.When the cavalry of the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu rushed in, the circle array suddenly opened the eight gates according to the structure of the Bagua array, and let those cavalry rush in.In this way, the collision between the infantry of the B army and the enemy cavalry was avoided, and the charging momentum of the enemy cavalry was defused, and the casualties of the infantry of the B army were reduced.Once the cavalry of the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu rushed into the camp of the Zhao army designed for them by Guo Jia and Xu Shu, those cavalry could go all the way unimpeded.But the doubts in their hearts will inevitably slow down their riding speed, and once the speed drops, these cavalrymen will become ordinary sergeants who fight in close quarters on their horses.When engaging the infantry of the Zhao army at close range, although they have a condescending advantage, the infantry of the Zhao army can completely use the shield defense to stab the war horse with spears and spears in the dark and release cold guns to fight back.At this moment, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were all taken aback when they saw the soldiers and horses of Army B all falling into the camp of the enemy's army.All this can be said to be too sudden, and the three wise men could never have imagined that this Zhao Jun would actually make a phalanx to confuse everyone.Then when the soldiers and horses of the three armies of the second army charged, the phalanx was transformed into a circle formation, and at this moment, when the three of them saw the circle formation of the Zhao army, they were not too surprised, they just thought that it was to reach the charge of their own cavalry.What everyone didn't expect was that in the face of the charge of Army B, these round formations actually opened directly without a fight, allowing their soldiers and horses to enter.In fact, with the charge of the twelve generals of Wei Shu and Wu, even if they rushed into the formation, they did not notice anything abnormal.When it came to the three major military divisions who were on the periphery and stood at a height to observe and command, they could see at a glance the formation of the Zhao army at this moment, and it had actually turned into a huge gossip array.You must know that among the top ten formations, the eighth ranked formation is the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array, but this array is completely different from the Bagua Array.The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is the Qimen Dunjia Array, and the Bagua Array knows that anyone who knows the story of the Three Kingdoms knows that this is a new formation created by Zhuge Liang according to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array.And this time, under the influence of Zhao Yu's crossing, although Zhuge Liang designed the Bagua Array according to the Bamen Golden Lock Array, he was not mature, so he never had the opportunity to show it.But Zhao Yu is different, Zhao Yu knows that his military talent is far worse than these ancient ghost people, even if he has insight into the 21st century, but that kind of tactics, art of war, and formation can not be understood by people from books.Zhao Yu has always wanted to follow Guo Jia to learn the art of war and formation, but because of its extraordinary difficulty, and Zhao Yu has always been obsessed with the progress of martial arts, so to put it mildly, he rarely really sits down to learn from Guo Jia.Later, Zhao Yu fortunately gave up further study, but painted the formation he knew from modern books to Guo Jia with the memory in his mind, and Guo Jia deduced it.And the Vientiane Bagua Array created by Guo Jia and Xu Shu this time is an upgraded version of the Bagua Array drawn by Zhao Yu, but at this moment Guo Jia and Xu Shu just turned the square array into a circle array, and then into a Bagua Array.To say that in this war, the one who was most shocked by this gossip array was naturally Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu army.Although Zhou Yu, the governor of the Wu army, and Sima Yi, the prime minister of the Wei army, at least showed a look of surprise when they saw this huge gossip array.And Zhuge Liang showed a hint of shock, from Zhuge Liang's expression, and the incredible look in his eyes, it is not difficult to see that Zhuge Liang is particularly familiar with this kind of gossip array
