Guo Peng gave the order, and the war drums rumbled.

At present, the front troops on Guo Peng's side were also arranged in one after another, looking directly at the direction of Yuan Shu's army attack in front. The shield soldiers and sword soldiers and spearmen were ready for the attack. The crossbowmen were ready to launch in the rear, waiting for the order to be issued.

Shaoqing, Yuan Shu's military formation entered the range of the crossbow. Guo Peng raised his hand to pass the order. The sound of drums suddenly stopped preparing for war, and the short sound of drums rang out immediately.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

The commanders of each army formation received the order and immediately issued the order. The orders suddenly rang out in the military formation without any noise. Then thousands of arrows soared into the air, drew a beautiful arc, and fell straight towards Yuan Shu's army formation.

The sharp triangular arrow crossed the sky and fell accurately into Yuan Shu's military formation.

Yuan Shu dispatched elite troops from the front army to fight against Guo Peng, and the army carried a large number of shields to protect them. Although he had prepared in advance, the number of shields was still slightly insufficient in the face of such a dense rain of arrows.

Arrows were falling like rain, round after round. Such high-density and high-frequency long-range firepower suppression made it very difficult for Yuan Shu's military formation to advance and make it difficult to move forward.

From time to time, a stroke was killed by arrows. A hole was opened to defend, and a large number of arrows rushed in as if they were rushing to death, and suddenly shot a group of people around them. In this way, the defense gap gradually widened and gradually became out of control.

When Yuan Shu saw that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen of his army to fight back. As a result, because Guo Peng's arrow suppression was too strong, it was difficult for Yuan Shu's crossbowmen to fight back.

The suppression of long-range vitality frustrated Yuan Shu's attack. Yuan Shu was very annoyed and immediately ordered more military formations to protect the crossbowmen with more shields to attack.

However, the counterattack effect was very limited. Faced with the suppression of Guo Peng's unswept rain of arrows, Chen's army was still struggling and a large number of soldiers were killed.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu was very anxious and directly ordered the cavalry to attack.

Lu Mian quickly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, Guo Zhe has more cavalry than us, and our army has fewer cavalry. We cannot use it now, otherwise it will be difficult to retreat if we fail!"

Yuan Shu also knew that the war horses on his side were all the war horses on the north, and then sold them to him at a cheap price, so that he could get enough war horses to form cavalry. However, since he became emperor, he never got a horse sent by Guo Peng again.

That is to say, rob the powerful landlords' house and get some horses in scattered ways.

Whether there are stirrups or not, war horses are high-profile military consumer goods. Every time a war is fought, the losses of war horses are particularly troublesome.

In other words, Guo Peng has been playing the war horse trade for so many years and can afford to consume war horses. In essence, it is difficult for Yuan Shu to afford it.

Now that the source of war horses has been lost, the number of war horses is becoming increasingly rare, and Yuan Shu can use less than 5,000 cavalry to mobilize.

If all of them were sent out to fight, they would be nothing to be a joke once they were lost.

But……

"If the front army collapses and everything is over, how can we care about the cavalry? Do what I say!"

Yuan Shu devoted all his efforts at all costs.

So the only remaining cavalry team of Yuan's army was sent out to fight for the little insignificant chance of winning the war.

However, as the largest prince in the north, Guo Peng's cavalry number is the best in the world, and he dares to say that he is one of the best in the elite.

Seeing the cavalry under Yuan Shu's command attack, Guo Peng decisively ordered the cavalry to attack, hedge against Yuan Shu's cavalry and annihilate Yuan Shu's strategic mobile troops.

The sound of war drums suddenly changed, and the cavalry attacked. Zhao Yun and Guo Lie each led three thousand cavalry to fight Yuan Shu's cavalry from both sides.

Yuan Shu's cavalry and Guo Peng's cavalry soon began their own confrontation, cavalry shooting, melee battles, and the battle was in a stalemate and fierce battles.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's front army suffered heavy losses due to the shooting of arrow rain. Guo Jia immediately suggested that Guo Peng send troops to attack and destroy Yuan Shu's front army.

"Yuan Gaolu attacked with elite troops in front and cavalry from the side to assist, and obviously tried to fight quickly and decide quickly. Our army should attack immediately. If the front army collapses, the central army will be unstable. If the central army is unstable, the overall situation will be determined. General, attack immediately!"

Guo Peng followed Guo Jia's advice and immediately ordered the front army to decisively stop the volley and attack forward.

After receiving the orders of drums and flags, the four generals Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Le Jin and Yu Jin led their respective military formations to attack forward.

Guo Peng's army began to attack formally. The soldiers stepped forward in neat steps, like a wall, with battle crying one after another, and the spirit of murderous aura was overwhelming, making people afraid to face it, and they lost in momentum.

When Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang and other Chen generals saw that Guo Peng's army launched an attack, they quickly commanded the army to stabilize their positions and prepare to face the enemy. Unfortunately, the army was scattered and difficult to quickly rectify the army, and the quality of the soldiers was not high enough, so it was difficult to quickly rectify the military force to respond to the enemy. Guo Peng's army was in front of him before he could barely rectify the queue.

Then what they faced was the cold and sharp spear and murderous eyes.

"prick!"

The front-line commander shouted an order, and the spearman stabbed his spear hard, followed the gap between the opponent's shield, pierced into the enemy's body, and then pulled back hard, and a string of blood beads could be brought out and spilled on the shield and the ground.

Still steaming.

The cold spear stabbed out without any emotion, and pulled it back hard, and continued to repeat it until there was no enemy in front of you.

The enemy is not unlikely to fight back. Some people will bravely push their spears back, stabbing their spears into the opposite army formation, killing the enemy and protecting themselves.

But the battlefield is not a battlefield for one person, but a battlefield for a group of people.

A person's courage cannot solve a whole war. What is needed to win a war is unity, not personal heroism.

Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Le Jin and Yu Jin each commanded their own military formations to face the same enemy in the same battle, do exactly the same things, and commanded the army that was good at obedience, as easily as waving their own arms.

On the other hand, except for a few veterans, most of Yuan Shu were temporarily recruited to make up for the numbers. He had not received much training, could not understand the sound of drums, could not understand the flag, and even did not understand the general's orders, so he could not execute them well.

There are big problems with the connection between command and execution. If there are any problems, they cannot be repaired and corrected in time. If there are any progress, they cannot keep up with it in time. Soon, the command system will fail.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and after half an hour, the situation on the battlefield became a one-sided situation.

The large-scale defeat of Yuan Shu's front-line army could not stop the advance of Guo Peng's army, and Zhao Yun and Guo Lie also achieved great results on the cavalry battlefield.

After riding and shooting, you will throw weapons and greet them.

Zhao Yun led the fast-trained cavalrymen to wave their hand axes and greeted them directly at the door of the other side. The whistling hand axes knocked down a large number of Yuan Shu's cavalry to the ground. They were lucky and avoided them, but those with bad luck were cut to death.
