Two thousand heavy cavalry, plus four thousand assault cavalry and two thousand archers, they were the curtain call that Liu Yan wanted to prepare for this battle, which dragged on for nearly two months.
This was a sudden decisive battle, and Liu Yan could observe that Wang Luan's command level had been declining recently, and in the absence of enough information, it was difficult to tell that Wang Luan had problems because the local battlefield had been suppressed or something else.
But what does it matter, the war has never had so many strategies, it is just who makes more mistakes, and with today's situation, it is obviously Wang Luan.
The situation favorable to the Han army has been formed, especially Wang Luan did not send cavalry, but sent infantry to advance the Han army in array with the battalion, which is almost destined to be a big battle today, even if it will not determine the outcome of this battle, it will affect the outcome of the battle to the greatest extent.
The speed of the 8,000 Han army foot soldiers forming a circle formation is not slow, when they find that their opponent is also an infantry army, they can change the formation during the move, and they are directly scattered from the circle formation, and finally become a relatively thin straight line, according to the military formation, this is called "Changshan Formation".
Look at the Han army that turned to a straight line and pushed sideways during the movement, it was still the hoplites in front and the crossbowmen in the back.
The Great Swordsman at the front has always been straight and straight, and those who see it will be surprised that his mouth is full of incredulity.
Following behind the great swordsman were the tower shield soldiers, they were really carrying the tower shield, and the long sword on their waists was actually a spare, just because they were focused on defense, they would definitely not need weapons unless they had to.
Behind the Tower Shieldmen are the pikemen, and in fact it will be the pikemen, not the Great Swordsmen, who will complete the intimate coordination with the tower shields.
At the back are the crossbowmen, who may become the absolute workhorses on the battlefield.
What the hell is the Changshan Formation The Han army pushing straight and horizontally is demonstrating this, and they will immediately collide with the Shijie Zhao army foot soldiers who are charging up, but before that, the army formation was the first to be roared "wind", and the crossbowmen behind immediately responded with "strong wind, strong wind, strong wind", which seemed full of momentum.
There will be those slogans, but it's not that Liu Yan was influenced by the movie called "Lao Mouzi".
In fact, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, and Song Dynasties, when the archery troops were about to shoot in an arrow array, roaring "gale" has always been a habit of Chinese civilization, similar to a kind of prayer.
The army that would shout "gale" before archery disappeared in the Central Plains for a long time, unless it is a person who is particularly familiar with history books, otherwise who would know that after the phrase "gale" is shouted, there will be arrows as dense as raindrops will be shot The Shijie Zhao army in the charge, they knew that arrows would fly, but what they were most afraid of were actually those strong men with huge broadswords.
God, where did so many soldiers come from, who are close to 24 meters, and look at the guys in their hands, the length of the broadsword is definitely more than one and a half meters, the sword body is so wide, and the blade is so sharp.
If you get struck by that kind of sword, you will definitely die The height of the Great Swordsman is two meters one, and every Great Swordsman is two meters one, tall and strong, this is the Great Swordsman.
The creatures "summoned" from the system, their faces are randomly formed, and it seems that even the IQ of any class will have different heights, for example, the Great Swordsman is 2.1 meters, the pikeman is 1.8 meters, and the crossbowman is only 1.75 meters.
The shortest were the cavalry, any kind of cavalry, and they were only 1.7 meters.
If you go back five or six hundred years, strong men above two meters tall are actually not rare, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the genes of short people are basically eliminated by cruel wars.
You have to really know that even in the early Western Han Dynasty, it would not be too difficult to find some people of about two meters to be heavy infantry or spearmen, and the spear was six meters long, but by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the average height had become shorter.
The height of the Chinese Miao people has never been short, and the Hu people are dwarfs.
The normal height of the Hu people is generally about 1.5 to 1.7 meters, so in the past wars between the Hu people and the Chinese Miao descendants, whether it was the Warring States, Qin, or Han Dynasty, they were able to fight with their physique alone, and the Chinese Miao descendants basically had the advantage, plus the armor equipment, not to mention, so there was a sentence "What Huaxia lacks is just a tough monarch, and an iron-blooded emperor can sweep everything".
Shijie Zhao Jun, these foot soldiers who are stepping and charging, they are roaring and shouting hard, no matter what they shout, it is good to be able to give themselves courage anyway.
They didn't charge in any formation, no matter what weapon they were wielding, they just rushed forward anyway.
When the bow is within range, the archers among them will stop and shoot their own feathered arrows.
The Han army continued to roar the word "gale", and what was more abrupt was that an indescribable sound suddenly inserted into it, which sounded like "frightened" or "boom", in short, the movement of the bowstring and arrows when they broke through the air, and then the sky was occupied by crossbow arrows, and the dark clouds composed of crossbow arrows moved to block the sun.
The Zhao army was not a Spartan, and did not like to fight in the shadows, they let out frightened or terrible screams, and those who had shields raised their shields, and those who did not have shields hid behind the people next to them.
As long as it's not themselves who die, they can do anything.
The moment the bolts fell, screams and muffled grunts erupted intensively, and the area covered by the arrow array instantly became a dense jungle of crossbow arrows, and no one without a shield or armor protector was shot to death.
A wave of crossbow arrows followed another wave, covering one area after another, and such a scene occurred on the battlefield, after more than ten waves of crossbow arrows, the Shijie Zhao army, which was originally charging forward, turned into a backward escape.
Before they collapsed and fled, they were still about 300 meters away from the Han army.
Wang Luan, who saw the whole thing in his eyes, also opened his mouth in surprise, he couldn't believe that it was like that, not that the army sent was defeated, but that the infantry of the Han army was able to change formation in the movement without chaos.
How many of these troops Liu Yan looked to the other side, which was filled with the haze of horses' hooves trampling, and it seemed to be a blur, making it impossible to observe the situation: maybe it was just that the infantry army was well-trained Thanks to the upgrade of the system to bring intelligence to the system creatures, there is cooperation if they can communicate, and then under the long-term drill and actual combat experience, the system troops can be used as the guides of the military formation, and the non-system soldiers only need to follow the people they should follow.
The Han army's formation, which had been arranged as the Changshan Formation, resumed its advance, and the length of the longitudinal column reached about 350 meters in two Jin Li and one Jin Li.
Zhai Bin was scolding, scolding the collapsed infantry waste, scolding Wang Luan as the commander for being incompetent, as if Ding Lingren could face a fearless charge with a strong bow and crossbow, and he could turn the situation around by commanding himself.
Wang Luan wanted to satisfy Zhai Bin's wish, and he directly announced loudly: "From now on, temporarily obey Zhai Bin's command" As if it was premeditated, Wang Luan had just announced, and immediately someone repeated it, and the shouts of "Temporary Zhai Bin Command" were resounding everywhere in the camp.
Zhai Bin was stunned, followed by a sneer.
He didn't care what Wang Luan's intentions were, he regarded this as Wang Luan's retreat and cowardice, and he didn't even want to take over the command directly.
"Greet our privates."
Wang Luan's face was gloomy: "Go back to Pengcheng, go back to Pengcheng immediately" "Lord, but," Wang Biao looked stunned, "you are sure you want to do this." ” "I may be able to live if I go to Pengcheng now" Wang Luan's face was full of hideousness: "Zhai Bin has a secret order, he can kill me at any time, and kill anyone in the barracks" Wang Biao has no official position, so he is only surnamed Wang, and he is Wang Luan's son.
The sense of crisis, coupled with the feeling that he was betrayed by Wang Ji, Wang Luan's heart was very chaotic.
Of course, Zhai Bin found out that Wang Luan got off the nest car, he would have really killed Wang Luan, and he would kill him at a suitable time, but at this moment he changed his mind, since Wang Luan knew each other so well, it might be good to leave a dog's life.
He was thinking: the Wang family seems to be a wealthy family, and in order to be grateful for the grace of not killing, he naturally needs to pay some money.
What kind of people are they, this is a former commander full of anxiety that he is going to be killed, and another is full of desire to collect money and develop his own tribe.
Liu Yan on the other side continued to wait, and he was not idle, but used the map in his mind to check the battlefield situation.

And it seems that although the Han army is at a disadvantage in numbers, it has taken the initiative in the battle situation, and it is the dual initiative of cavalry and infantry army This will force the enemy to constantly send new troops to reinforce, but it will not form a decisive battle Liu Yan observed the map, and paid special attention to the green arrow that kept cruising back and forth: This is the army in the Huan temperate zone, that is you Huan Wen's army was the first Han army to enter the battle, they have lost from 1,600 people to less than 1,000, and at the beginning they will rush through the battle hard, but they are caught and crushed in the middle, and it is Qian Jiantong who waives his army to support to avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.
The galloping speed of the war horse has been declining, and Huan Wen is still thinking about what to do, the man and the horse are moving with the team, and he is still thinking about what to do, but he found that the knight in front of the leader took the initiative to change direction, although he noticed it, he didn't care, and waited to find out that it was charging towards the enemy's main camp, and he roared uncontrollably: "Change direction, change to damn it, just our people go to the camp" The cavalry who was charging ahead said that the sound of the horses' hooves was too loud to hear what Huan Wen was shouting:
