Chapter 348 Hunting

Just after dawn, horses neighed non-stop in the Xiongnu camp.The knights straddle their horses with their backs bowed and ready to go.Fifty thousand elite cavalry were divided into left and right wings, and there were [-] ranger cavalry in the formation.As long as the attack is made, ten thousand horses will gallop and ten thousand arrows will be fired.For a cavalry formation of this size, if the enemy battalion makes any omissions, it will definitely be destroyed!

Liu Yao led his own army early in the morning and boarded the hills near the camp.Here is condescending, with a very wide field of vision, you can clearly see the movement of the enemy camp, and it is also convenient to monitor the surroundings.This is not the first time Liu Yao has confronted Bingzhou soldiers and horses, and he knows that the opponent is the best at deceit.Sneak attacks, ambushes, and night battles are all used proficiently.What's even more terrible is the thunderbolt cannon that has an extremely long range and is difficult to resist.

However, this time, perhaps it was a temporary camp, and the Thunderbolt Cannon had never been seen in the opposing camp.I also took advantage of the terrain, if the enemy really wants to use artillery, it is impossible to cover the several feet high equipment under their noses.That's all, save a lot of trouble!

This is the best opportunity to attack, don't miss it!

Unexpectedly, the enemy camp in the distance was not as imagined, and the camp was closed tightly, unable to hold on.Instead, the army moved together and lined up outside the camp.

Without Thunderbolt, they also want to fight against the enemy in the field?Or is it that the big camp is not strong enough, and they have to go out to block their own soldiers?Liu Yao's breathing became rapid, and he ordered loudly: "Let both wings out to outflank the enemy! The infantry are in the rear and stand by for orders!"

As the military order was passed down, the cavalry rode out into battle.The horseshoes trampled, and the smoke and dust flew towards the enemy camp.

Liu Yao squinted his eyes, staring at the high platform erected in the enemy camp.Such a fierce attack, can the sick man be able to stop it?

Wearing golden armor, Liang Feng took a step forward and looked at the cavalry formation rolling towards the sky.

When camping, the camp they chose was not as close to mountains and rivers as the Huns.But this poor terrain is not a big problem.Two watchtowers were built early in the camp, each over three feet tall.Looking downstairs, there is a high platform of more than ten feet. As long as you stand on the platform, you can see clearly inside and outside the camp.

Although he was in the camp, the scene in front of him was almost the same as being on the battlefield.With a big cloak behind him and the scorching sun above his head, Liang Feng stood proudly with his hands on his back, and said, "Beat the drum!"

The wrestler next to him raised his gavel, and the sound of the thumping drum spread across the whole field in an instant.This is an order to fight, and it is also a cheer.The formation of pawns depends on the bloody courage that is indomitable.As long as the formation is not broken, it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry to break into the formation!

Will his army be breached?

Amidst the rumbling drums, the two armies collided like a torrent of iron walls!

Tens of thousands of infantry lined up, with swords and halberds everywhere, and horizontal shields like walls.Faced with such a strong formation, even the cavalry dared not plunder lightly.Like a pack of wolves wandering, the cavalry on both wings began to shrink, shooting around the formation.Arrows fell like rain, jingling and nailing on the propped up shield.

Use bows and crossbows to harass the enemy, constantly charge, and wait for opportunities to tear the front line.This is a typical cavalry tactic.In the open wilderness, there is no disadvantage.But the big formation in front of him was as solid as a rock, not moving at all.There are many carbine guns on all sides, and the towering iron shield is like a turtle shell covered with thorns, which cannot be shaken.

You must get closer, press harder, and let the arrows rain into the formation.This kind of warfare is well known to all Hun soldiers who are good at riding and shooting.Yet no one could.

In the middle of the army formation, arrows also shot out, like locust flying arrows!

That's not a bow, but a crossbow, a crossbow!Even if the distance is farther, the power of the arrow and crossbow will not be damaged.Around the army formation, within fifty steps, a feather wall was forcibly nailed.Any cavalry who dares to enter will be shot down by the dense arrow feathers!

How can shooting from horseback compare to shooting with a crossbow?The raging black tide was forced back three points by the crossbow arrows abruptly!

On the hill, Liu Yao frowned.This army formation is denser than I imagined.Even without thunderbolt cannons to help out, only bows and crossbows can hold their ground.

There must be a change.

His eyes were fixed on the enemy camp, even if they were far away, the figure on the high platform could still be seen faintly.If you attack it, you must defend it?

"Send rangers to attack the main camp!" Liu Yao ordered.

His troops are always more than the enemy's. Since the enemy's infantry has been restrained by him, can the empty camp be able to attack?

Another cavalry galloped out of the formation.Liu Yao stared at the enemy camp intently.Can the opponent react to this scuffle?

"The Huns are going to send troops to attack the camp." Zhang Bin stepped forward and whispered.

The watchtower was not built in vain, and there is a telescope on it, not to mention the enemy's camp, even the flags waving in the opposing camp, can be seen clearly.With such a sharp weapon, how could it be impossible to discern the enemy's movements?

"Let the tiger and wolf ride for a while." Liang Feng ordered.How could the staff battalion fail to predict such an offensive?

Since it is a face-to-face confrontation, it is impossible to overwhelm all the troops.The Bingzhou cavalry is also ready to go.Braking statically is much safer than attacking rashly.Moreover, they are not only equipped with light cavalry.

Like a scimitar inserted obliquely, the Xiongnu's fine cavalry attacked the Bingzhou camp.The movement speed of cavalry is not something that infantry can keep up with.Once they tore apart the enemy camp, the two wings would follow suit, and the enemy's formation would instead become a stumbling block preventing them from returning to defense.And when the array collapsed, facing the infantry of the cavalry, they could only be mermaids!

However, before the envisioned tactics could be implemented, a cavalry rushed forward!

The enemy actually saw through their movements?The Hun cavalry generals who led the army were not panicked, but they were only Qing cavalry, how could they compare with their own brave and strong cavalry?The horn is humming, the hooves are thundering, and the bow is drawn to the full string, just waiting for the confrontation!

Facing the Xiongnu Jingqi who were eager to try, more than a hundred Bingzhou Iron Cavalry forwards fanned out, giving way to the hidden horses behind.

The face curtain is narrow and long, with clusters of chicken neck rings, and the chest is a piece of iron armor, and the back is woven with leather and iron.Two thousand horses, all wrapped in armor from head to toe, not to mention knights on horseback.

Not good, it's heavy riding!The Hun cavalry general was startled and wanted to avoid it.But galloping head-on, how can there be room to dodge?The heavy cavalry with their horses rushed into the enemy's formation without avoiding it!

Liu Yao suddenly took two steps forward, what's going on?The cavalry he sent was cut off by the opponent!

The number of people is clearly the same, so why the sudden change?

"Get the left wing to help!" This is the main force, if it is defeated by the enemy, the war will be affected.

But no matter how fast he gave his orders, it couldn't compare to the movement in the battle.

In the Bingzhou camp, the sound of the drums changed, and the army formation that had been surrounded by thorn balls just now stretched out!The soldiers holding the large shields moved forward three steps in unison, and the crossbowmen followed the expansion of the formation and came to the back of the sword and shield hand.

With this movement, the range of the arrow crossbow was immediately extended by more than ten steps.If the cavalry had been on guard for a long time, it should not be affected.However, he had just received the military order and was about to make a roundabout to help when he encountered such an offensive.Like a sharp knife piercing the flank, even a veteran cavalry can't guard against it!

The cavalry immediately became chaotic.

Oops.Seeing the back and abdomen being attacked, he turned to a disadvantage.Liu Yao made a decisive decision: "Ming Jin! Quickly withdraw troops!"

Unable to control the situation, he could choose to retreat.After all, they are all light cavalry, and the enemy cannot catch up anyway.It's just that I didn't expect that the first battle would be like this.

Infantry field battles, without the help of thunderbolt cannons, can resist the cavalry offensive.If the enemy has prepared a cannon, how will he deal with it?

No, I have to change my style of play tomorrow.If your own army wins, even if it is delayed, the enemy will be dragged down!Food and grass are limited, he can't afford to delay!
