As long as they were not stupid, no cavalry would crash into the shield wall, but the Hu people rushed into the position full of "mouth" shaped shield formations, and they were forced to reduce the speed of their horses in seven turns and eight turns, and they had to be extremely careful not to crash into the shield wall where they were in a spear.
The Huren light cavalry who rushed into the Han army's position found that even if they rushed in, at a glance, it was full of shield walls with spears sticking out, and their minds were full of doubts about what they were doing when they rushed in.
The people outside the room, unless they were standing on a high place, could not see what was going on inside the Han army's position, and all they could see was that more and more Hu people rushed in with light horses, confusing the sound of horses' hooves everywhere, and couldn't understand why the Han army's position was not chaotic The war drums sounded, and the crossbows continued to shoot outward again, making everyone who had thought that the Han army had no arrows stunned for a while.
"Isn't there no arrows" Zhai Bin was still in high spirits one moment, and the next moment he saw the Han army shoot dense arrows again, and became angry again: "Since there are arrows, why let our people rush in" Looking at the overall situation of the battlefield, due to Zhai Bin's order, the Shijie Zhao army that flocked to the Han army's infantry formation definitely exceeded 20,000, and they were assaulted from any direction that could be attacked, and the cavalry led by Huan Wen entered the state of participation during the period.
The cavalry on the periphery were entangled and fighting with each other, and the cavalry of the Han army could intercept the cavalry of the Shijie Zhao army was a minority after all, and more of the cavalry of the Shijie Zhao army were desperately rushing towards the side of the Han army's infantry formation.
The Shijie Zhao army of the Han army's infantry did not have time to be happy for long, and just when they thought that they would be able to slaughter the Han army by rushing in, the damned strong bow and crossbow were launched again, and at least more than 2,000 Shijie Zhao troops were shot over by people and horses in an instant.
The strong bows and crossbows of the Han army behind were fully and fully launched, and the arrows within 300 to 50 steps fell like raindrops, and the scene was immediately chaotic.
The sudden change had left too many people at a loss, and the Zhao army of Shijie was terrified to find out that they had been deceived, and the Han army was delighted to see that their infantry formation could still shoot arrows, and they saw another stunned scene next.
The position of the Han army used practical actions to inform Zhai Bin of the answer, and to perform in front of the world what is the highest embodiment of the Chinese civilization infantry army, that is, a tactic called changing formation.
The rumbling footsteps and the sound of war drums formed the same rhythm, splitting into one after another "mouth" shaped shield array, the interlocking shields were lifted together, and each small shield array moved with the battle horn of "hey", making the Han army's shield array become a moving maze for a while, and this maze can definitely kill people.
The Hu people who rushed in first, they found that the space they could move around was getting smaller and smaller, and they didn't want to hit the shield wall full of spikes, so they had to stop.
Then, something even more frightened happened to them, that is, the spiky shield walls were squeezing, and the more they squeezed, the closer they got to each other, the more crowded they became, and finally they were squeezed into a small space by the shield wall, and then the spears on the shield wall began to move between retracting and exiting, and each expansion and contraction could bring out a human scream or the wail of a war horse.
It was only less than half a quarter of an hour, and the more than 3,000 Shijie Zhao troops who broke into the military formation were wiped out in a continuous scream, and gradually only the sound of "hey" trumpets and war drums shouted by the Han soldiers and soldiers remained.
Of course, people outside the military formation didn't know what was going on inside the military formation, let alone that the more than 3,000 Shijie Zhao troops who had entered the formation had become corpses.
Those Shijie Zhao Jun who should have charged for their lives were still rushing against the strong bows and crossbows, but the previous frenzy cooled down as too many of their companions were shot over.
The Han army, who was worried about Paoze, did everything they could to share the greater pressure, because of the consumption of physical energy, the battle damage was inevitably increased.
The sunset had already appeared in the west, and it looked like a blood-red patch.
On the ground of the battlefield, too many people and horses were bleeding, and the places where the corpses were piled up were already countless red blood flowing, and the small blood streams were mixed together, flowing to the depression and turning into a pool of blood, which was terrifying to look at.
It will probably be a quarter of an hour or so before it will enter the night, if in normal times, they should have already collected their troops and stopped fighting, the problem is that the commander of Shijie Zhao's army is a Ding Scattered who is not afraid of death.
Liu Yan's original plan was to camp the infantry army in front of the battalion of the Zhao army in Shijie to lay a good foundation for the next broken camp, and it was even less likely that the troops would be withdrawn.
Shijie Zhao's army had a new movement, the tired troops were withdrawing to the camp, but the camp was opening the infantry army with torches, and it seemed that they were planning to fight fiercely all night At this time, Zhai Bin probably already knew that the cavalry that rushed into the Han army's infantry formation was killed, and he dared to fight fiercely overnight, but he really didn't take the small soldiers seriously.
Liu Yan is also withdrawing the cavalry, and the infantry is okay to fight with torches at night, but it is really impossible to let the cavalry fight in the dark.
The respective cavalry withdrew, Zhai Bin still had infantry troops to send out, and Liu Yan had no infantry soldiers in his hands except for the auxiliary soldiers on foot, which means that the infantry army battle formation at the forefront this night should not expect any reinforcements.
"The cavalry of the Hu people did not pose any threat to the military formation, and a group of foot soldiers running on two legs were unlikely to pose any threat."
Sang Yu was extremely excited: "It's only less than a quarter of an hour, three thousand Hu cavalry are wiped out, if our Han army has this ability, who can be invincible" The 8,000 infantry army formed a formation, and in less than fifteen minutes, they swallowed the cavalry of the Shijie Zhao army who rushed in, this news was a booster for the high-level of the Han army, and they seemed to understand for the first time that the original infantry army could also be so powerful.
And it seems that the infantry army fighting cavalry and playing seemed to be a common thing in the pre-Qin period, and the Hu people at that time would also be like the miscellaneous Hu light cavalry of the Shijie Zhao army that was swallowed, not knowing what the military array was, rushing into it in a daze, and then being swallowed by the large array so that there were no bones left.
As long as the infantry does not break up by itself, the cavalry can only stare at the infantry organized into a formation, especially if there is a solid defense system in front such as a van or shield wall, and there are strong bows and crossbowmen with a sufficient number of arrows in the back What is the advantage of cavalry over infantry, isn't it the speed in mobility, and when you can't fight, you will never fight, you will only wait for the formation of the infantry to be lifted, and use its speed to pounce on the infantry when it moves.
To tell the truth, the most powerful cavalry against infantry is really not to charge head-on, but to drag the infantry to collapse on its own, and then chase after it That night, the Shijie Zhao army attacked again with torches and turned into a circle again, and all of them were shot by strong bows and crossbows on the way to collapse.
The Shijie Zhao army had been making a fuss until late at night, and their reward for this night was to drop more than 2,000 corpses and wounded, and consume many arrows of the Han army.
Throughout the night, the barracks on both sides were bright, because both sides were worried that the other side would come to play a night attack, and the atmosphere was too tense, except for a very few people who could sleep peacefully, most of them were too nervous to sleep.
Zhai Bin was one of those who did not sleep, and he was reported that the Han army at the front of the camp was filling in the trenches.
Even if he didn't have much experience in defensive warfare, Zhai Bin should know that the purpose of filling the soil was to prepare for the attack, he abandoned his face and wanted to find Wang Luan to come over to discuss how to deal with it, but the reply he got was that Wang Luan actually ran away with people overnight, leaving most of the private soldiers and running away Zhai Bin was almost mad, his sense of urgency and crisis deepened with Wang Luan's actions, after all, if there was no special reason, Wang Luan would not have done that kind of thing.
After a night of entanglement, many times to send troops to stop it and become a ghost under the arrow, Zhai Bin painfully found that as long as the Han army still has arrows, then it is a great advantage, unless the Han army has no arrows, they have a chance.
And the Han army has already done things that pretend that there are no arrows, causing a large army to rush up and cover it again, Zhai Bin has found many generals, but no matter how he threatens, no one is willing to lead the troops to attack the shield array of the Han army.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, at least 6,000 cavalry immediately poured out from the Shijie Zhao army, and they rushed directly to the Han army forming a circle without any cover.
On the part of Shijie Zhao Jun, it was the unlucky guy who led the army to draw lots and get the red lot, but Zhai Bin directly named no one wanted to, and in the end, he could only use the method of drawing lots.
Liu Yan slept soundly last night, he waited for Shijie Zhao Jun to launch an offensive before he was woken up, and when he got into the nest car to pay attention, he found that several important scribes were smiling very happily.
"Your Majesty."
The crowd waited for the salute, and then, of course, Ji Chang spoke.
"Your Majesty, Wang Luan sent someone over last night."
Ji Chang pointed to the circle array, and there was another layer of fresh corpses on the periphery, and at present, about five thousand cavalry were circling around the circle array.
He said: "The information on the early morning attack of the Shijie Zhao army was reported by Wang Biao last night, and there is also relevant information on what the Shijie Zhao army will do today." ” "Wang Luan" Liu Yan said casually while observing the map in his mind: "Wang Ji's relatives" "Exactly" Ji Chang did not hide his mockery: "These families like to bet separately, and Wang Luan's bargaining chip is that there will be a riot in the camp of Shijie Zhao Jun today." ” Liu Yan immediately understood in seconds that it was Wang Luan's credit for Wang Biao, and it was also a good sale.
"Even without Wang Luan's arrangement, we will achieve the final victory in this war."
Sang Yu pouted: "The most hated person in my life is a two-faced person with three swords." ” No one paid attention to Sang Yu, they were "selling" their coping methods to Liu Yan one after another, Liu Yan made a gesture of listening attentively, in fact, he was still observing the map in his mind, but this did not mean that he was not listening:
