『Raising the shield——』

A shout came from the army formation where the cavalry knights advanced rapidly like water, and almost all the cavalry raised their shields to cover the war horses and their heads.

『Swoosh swosh swosh!』

Arrows roar down.

『Ship! Steering!』

The pioneer cavalry began to turn, as if they were afraid of the long-range attacks of bows and arrows in Cheng Yu's array.

Some cavalrymen were hit by arrows, like a few long grass that suddenly grew, trembling and swaying in the air.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu smiled with a smile.

In order to restrain the Hussars, Cheng Yu specially brought some armor-breaking arrows.

These arrows are specially made wolf teeth arrows, which are extremely sharp, and of course they are very expensive and the production process is also cumbersome.

These arrows are all produced by Shandong and cannot be bought from Guanzhong.

Guanzhong also sells weapons, but most of them are very popular swords, guns, arrows, and low-end equipment such as Liangdang armor. If you want better things, you have to spend a lot of money. So sometimes people in Shandong will subconsciously choose ordinary equipment, which is cheap and big, which is really cost-effective.

But these bargains will often suffer great losses if they really get on the battlefield.

Not to mention that if the blades and guns are not handled properly, they will easily rust and passivate. Even if they look bright, if they are not hard and tough enough, they will easily collapse in the battle, and then they will wait for themselves to kill their opponents with one knife, and then they will be slashed by the opponent...

The same is true for bows and arrows. Ordinary triangular arrows are quite a matter of dealing with armorless ones, but it is basically ineffective to face those soldiers wearing thick armor.

If the quality of the bow is also poor, the strength of the bow arm is insufficient, the bow string is weak, and the arrow shot is light and light, it is really like tickling the opponent. Unless it happens to hit the key point, the opponent can basically ignore the arrow.

Cheng Yu understood this, so the weapons and arrows he brought were all top-notch.

With such a good weapon, Cheng Yu was confident that he could defeat Jiang Yan's cavalry ranks head-on.

However, just as the smile rose on the corner of Cheng Yu's mouth, he realized something was wrong...

The Hussar Cavalry did not seem to have the idea of ​​directly attacking Cheng Yu's array, but instead swayed at the edge of the arrow's range.

It's like a scumbag who says he's just rubbing outside.

Seeing that the archer shot for a few rounds in vain, Cheng Yu quickly stopped.

After all, it is at the edge of the range, and the power of the arrow has been greatly reduced, so it has not caused much obvious damage to the cavalry and horses.

What's going on?

Does the Cavalry Army not intend to rush forward?

Cheng Yu looked at him, did he think that just by relying on these little soldiers, he could trap himself here?

Cheng Yu got up, climbed onto a baggage cart, and looked around.

Except for the approximately three hundred Hussar cavalry galloping in the smoke and dust, Cheng Yu did not see any smoke and dust in other places, so Cheng Yu naturally could not be sure whether there were Hussar soldiers in other places.

This is the issue of opacity on the battlefield.

Before, Cheng Yu thought that it didn't matter if there was less information on the battlefield - after all, his scouts could not be compared with the scouts of the cavalry, and most of them were on two legs. Even if they ran to death, they might not be able to detect how far they could be.

Anyway, I have to check the main ferry clearly, isn’t it enough?

As a result, Cheng Yu regrets it now.

If I had known it, I should have endured it, wait a little longer, and send more personnel to further explore!

But what is most lacking in this world is the medicine for regret.

Cheng Yu could only focus his attention on the present moment, "Is it...is it for delay?"

Faced with the current situation where there are not many cavalrymen and are unwilling to attack the attack head-on, Cheng Yu naturally analyzed whether there are only so many soldiers at the ferry crossing, and the other soldiers have scattered and have not been able to come back yet?

Since the Cavalry Army wants to "procrastinate", then Cheng Yu naturally cannot "procrastinate" at all!

Cheng Yu immediately ordered the outer barracks to expand outward, turning the originally thick and deep line into a hollow array with a larger area and a wider coverage area.

The flag was shaken, and the military academy shouted. The baggage truck that was originally connected was opened by Cao's army and then slowly unfolded outward.

If you look down from a high altitude, the unfolded car array does have a different beauty.

A single person is small, but once organized, a human tribe, group, organization, country, and everyone is doing the same thing and working towards the same goal, it seems particularly great.

When Cheng Yu designed the baggage truck array, he had already considered the situation of temporary changes in advance. After all, in Hedong, the case of Cao's baggage truck array unsuccessful also made Cheng Yu understand that the rigid and unchangeable car array would only be the only way to passively beating.

At the same time, Cheng Yu also understood that such a car array would be easily defeated under a long-range and powerful weapon...

But does Jiang Jie have artillery or a catapult?

If so, then I should have taken it out to deal with the camp before, so why wait until now!

Since Jiang Jie's troops do not have powerful long-range weapons, then his vehicle array is "invincible"!

The mutual generation and restraint between arms and weapons is actually the same.

Cheng Yu expanded the car formation and made room for the ferry. Immediately, the soldiers in the inner circle began to build the most basic camp defense structure at the ferry.

The Cao army soldiers who followed Cheng Yu did not know much about family, country, and the classics, history, and collections, but they were the most basic structure of the Cao army. They obeyed orders and abide by the rules, even if these orders and rules were above them, allowing them to work extra.

The previous incident of Cao's escape also caused some turmoil among the remaining Cao's soldiers, but soon the turmoil became silent...

Not everyone has the courage to "the world is as big as that of a world", break the original pace of life and living habits, and welcome the unknown fear and hope. Coupled with the habits formed under high pressure, these Cao army soldiers did not take action to practice even if they had some fluctuations in their hearts.

Most people go with the flow.

This is not only a problem with Cao's soldiers, but also a "wise man" like Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's experience and wisdom were very easy to deal with the problems of the original Han Dynasty, but what he had to face now was not only a big step forward in military equipment, but also a cavalry army that had developed in ideological and tactics...

Therefore, Cheng Yu's choice was not a problem for dealing with the old soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the ordinary Hussar cavalry. Unfortunately, he encountered not only Jiang Jie, but also Zhu Ling who was added later.

Zhu Ling also doesn't have artillery, but he has "rockets"...

Under the cover of smoke and dust rising from the cavalry trooping back and forth in front, Zhu Ling and his soldiers were forming a big yellow crossbow.

Running with a big yellow crossbow is not a big problem at a short distance, but if you run long distances, it will be more difficult.

This thing has been active on the battlefield since the early Han Dynasty and fought against the Huns. It has a long range and great power. The only problem is that it is its bulkiness, high price, and difficult to manufacture parts.

But now, it has become Zhu Ling's "toy".

Zhu Ling has used the yellow crossbow in Tongguan many times and has achieved good results. Now after discussing with Jiang Jie, he has taken out this thing again...

Cheng Yu had not passed the battle at Tongguan, so even if he saw some battle reports from the front line, he might not be able to imagine what the so-called "firefall from the sky, thunder and sound" in the battle reports were, and it was difficult for humans to obtain a clear concept before breaking through their own imagination, to determine what the threat looked like and where it would come from.

Soon, just as Cheng Yu expanded the car array outward and tried to create a space to camp, Zhu Ling appeared in the smoke and dust with a big yellow crossbow.

At first, Cheng Yu didn't care much. After all, the yellow crossbow was not as eye-catching as a catapult or a cannon, but soon Cheng Yu knew that this thing was so powerful.

At the beginning of Zhu Ling's attack, the yellow crossbow was simply shooting with crossbow arrows, calibrating the shooting angle and distance, so Cao's army did not notice any problems. However, Cheng Yu saw Zhu Ling and others starting to shoot at a very long distance, and was quite puzzled, and instinctively noticed some danger.

What is this?

Can you attack at such a long distance?

Because the calibration shooting of Zhu Ling's Great Yellow Crossbow did not directly cause serious damage, Cheng Yu could not react and did not issue any targeting instructions. After all, if you only rely on the physical damage of the Great Yellow Crossbow to break the baggage truck array, it would be like a drop in the bucket. It cannot be said that it is completely useless, but it is indeed like tickling.

After tickling, Zhu Ling began to replace the Rockets.

The soldiers on the Cao army's front line saw clearly because of the distance. When they found that Zhu Ling and others took out strange crossbow arrows, some of them exclaimed, and some of them shot hard in the direction of Zhu Ling and others. However, neither they were screaming in panic or the arrows they shot, they could cause any damage, nor could they affect Zhu Ling's second wave of attacks.

When the first explosion sounded, Cheng Yu's car array was destined to be destructive.

The rocket fell and exploded.

The Cao army soldiers who originally thought they were safely hiding behind the wooden boards covered with soil were found that they thought the things they were barriers to save their lives were actually very fragile.

The Rockets tore open the car formation that Cheng Yu had worked hard to form, like a crab with a shell that was broken, revealing delicious meat.

The distance between seven or eight hundred steps is just a matter of a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

Before Cheng Yu could figure out what happened suddenly, the cavalry of the Cavalry Army had already rushed to the front of his outer chariot formation.

Looking at the Hussars and cavalry rushing up in the roar and hearing the sound of horse hooves rolling by like thunder, Cheng Yu felt a cool air rushing straight from his back, instantly making him cold all over!

This is a trap!

A trap against his chariot formation!

『Aggregate quickly! Aggregate!"

Cheng Yu shouted, but his voice was so weak amid the roar of gunpowder and horse hooves.

Even the guards around Cheng Yu, the messenger heard Cheng Yu's order and wanted to spread the order to the front line of the chariot array and allow the Cao army soldiers who were attacked in the chariot array to execute it smoothly...

It's simply impossible.

At such a moment, the instinct of combat is the quickest guide on the battlefield.

Although Cao's soldiers responded instinctively to the raids of Hussars, such as pointing the spear and spear in their hands at the rushing Hussars, and the archers also tried hard to shoot the arrows in their hands, but the results were minimal.

On the one hand, the Hussar cavalry reversed the pose of the touch and rubbing, and began to attack forward bravely. On the other hand, under the attack of Zhu Ling's Great Yellow Crossbow, even if the Cao army's soldiers counterattacked, they were still scattered and failed to form effective suppression.

The Cao army's archers had only time to shoot three-wheeled arrows and shot down more than ten cavalrymen who were rushing in front, while the other cavalry rushed to the front and rushed to the gap of the formation where Cao army was destroyed by rockets!

"kill!"
