The sound of war drums suddenly changed from dense to sparse, from fierce to low, from fierce to peaceful.

The fifteen giant phalanxes immediately stopped. On the two-mile-long attack surface, they lined up, with eight in the front and seven in the back, densely intersecting.

The giant shield was raised diagonally, and the back was supported by six giant trees in two layers. Three giant spears sit side by side on a shield. The swarthy giant spearhead makes people shudder. A significant number of giant spears were improvised, with no spearheads, just sharpened tops of trees with knives. Swordmen lay in ambush behind giant shields and spearmen, ready to strike at any moment to slay enemy horses and soldiers.

"Get on the arrow......" Zhang Baiqi shouted.

The drums of war are beating. Four hundred archers drew their bows and arrows.

Zhang Baiqi was very confident in this set of dense infantry phalanxes. These methods were all come up with by Li Yi when he was training in Quanzhou last winter. When training infantry and cavalry battles, this set of formations is used. The cavalry had a headache with this phalanx of the infantry, and they never took advantage of it when they trained.

The Hu soldiers galloped in.

"Let go of ......" Zhang Baiqi roared, "Attack, attack ...... continuously"

Eight phalanxes and 4,000 archers were sent forward, and on the two-mile-long attack surface, they aimed at the enemy cavalry almost at the same time and launched a fierce long-arrow attack. For a while, the sky was full of arrows, and the howling of long arrows tearing through the air converged into a huge roar, which was terrifying.

The cavalry of the Hu people basically had no armor, they were all dressed in cloth clothes and animal skins, their defense was very poor, and there were many people who fell from their horses with arrows. The death of their comrades greatly stimulated Qianghu, the anger in their hearts was ignited, they went crazy, they lost their minds and did not dodge, and rushed up in the face of the dense rain of arrows.

Crash, crazy and ferocious.

The battlefield was filled with the neighing of war horses. The roar of soldiers, the roar of the giant shield being struck, the roar of the arrows tearing through the air, the dull sound of spears poking into the horses, the sound of gold and iron. The bloody battle begins.

The Hu cavalry was not afraid in the face of the enemy formation, and they hit their horses one after another and directly crashed into the giant shield, although their heads were broken and bleeding, they did not hesitate. The war horse leaped high, not to be pierced by a giant spear and died. It's just falling backwards and coming back. The rider was either hacked to death after flying into the shield by inertia, or rolled to the ground with the horse. Only a few giant shields were hit or broken by the horses, and the Han soldiers who were holding the shields with their bodies were immediately knocked away by the horses or crushed to death.

But no Hu cavalry was able to rush in. The giant shield was destroyed, and the axemen, ordinary spearmen and archers in the back row would immediately rush forward, whether it was the enemy's horses or soldiers, all of them were hacked to death. Without a giant shield, the gap is combined with a normal long shield and a giant spear. Keep it up.

The first round of collision was all unsuccessful, and did not pose any threat to the infantry phalanx of the Youzhou army.

The second round of impact was even more ferocious.

The Hu cavalry did not hesitate to rush to the horseback, and in many places they were attacked by two horses, and their impact was so powerful. It was simply not something that could be resisted by manpower, and although there were six wooden stakes to support the giant shield, the number of giant shields destroyed increased significantly.

The enemy's cavalry still did not get a bargain, not the horses died. Even the soldiers were killed, and none of them were able to rush into the phalanx.

The soldiers of the Youzhou Army in the phalanx swore to block the attack, and the giant shield was gone. Just use an ordinary shield; When the giant spear is broken, the ordinary spear is used; The shield bearer or spearman is dead, and the axeman is on top. The first layer of defenders were all killed, and the second layer of defenders were all on top.

Under the perseverance and fearless defense of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army, the phalanx was still not opened by the enemy.

Gongsun Wen was in a hurry, if he hit it like this, the enemy's phalanx was not broken, and his own soldiers would die by thousands.

"Command the soldiers, concentrating their forces, to ram the front of the enemy phalanx, in succession, without pause, in a continuous ramming of its front."

The horn "woo ......" sounded one after another.

Zhao Yun heard the sound of the enemy's horn, raised his eyebrows, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum...... Order all sides to concentrate on defending the front of the phalanx. ”

"Order the archers, a dense salvo, a dense salvo at close range."

The sound of war drums can be loud or small, dense or sparse, resounding through the night sky.

The third round of crazy ramming began.

Thousands of horses began to run, began to fly, and began to ram under the roar and drive of the cavalry; Hundreds of shields began to crack on impact, began to shatter, and finally turned into pieces of wood flying in the air; The giant spear stabbed the first batch of horses that leaped and blocked the impact of the second group of horses, but in the face of the horses galloping one after another, the spearmen had nothing but shouting, they had no time to carry out the spear operation, and could only watch the enemy kill them. Except for the broken ones, the rest of the giant spears gradually became waste after the loss of the giant shield.

The shield soldiers were at the forefront of the phalanx, and they died many and miserably, they were either crushed to death by their horses, or they were slashed and stabbed to death by the enemy's cavalry; Having lost the giant shield and the giant spear, the sword and axe hands of the phalanx, the spearmen had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to plug the gap.

The front of the Youzhou military formation was gradually broken through by the enemy, and more and more forward positions began hand-to-hand combat, fierce and brutal. Many of the frontal defenders of the phalanx were almost wiped out, and many archers in the formation immediately made up for it, swearing to block the enemy and ensure the integrity of the phalanx.

Zhang Baiqi held a knife in one hand, covered in blood, and ran around the front line of the phalanx like a madman with a dozen personal soldiers. Cut off the legs of an enemy's horse as soon as it touches it, and cut off the head of an enemy who rushes in.

Since joining the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning of last year, he has experienced a lot of battles, but he has never fought so well. Especially when he fought with the Youzhou army of Li Yi, the former general of the current lord, he suffered a lot, first under Yecheng, and then Ge Ting's second fiasco, as for the third ...... Well, there's no third time, because that time he surrendered to the lord before he could fight.

Now, he finally experienced the mood of his opponent at that time, and also let the enemy in front of him experience his mood at that time.

It's so cool to fight with the lord!

Zhang Baiqi's thoughts were racing, but his hands never stopped. He led his soldiers to kill from east to west, and from west to east, without stopping.

The soldiers on both sides forgot about life and death, forgot about pain, and only knew how to kill, kill, kill the enemy, and kill another enemy. They are tireless, bloodless, and keep killing until they themselves are killed by someone else.

The eight phalanxes in the front row of the position were finally unable to support the enemy's continuous and endless attacks, and the defense was all in crisis. However, because of the slight distance, the seven phalanxes in the back row were not attacked by the enemy, and the formation was complete.

………………

The curved moon in the sky quietly moved to the east, and dawn was approaching.

Zhao Yun heard the sound of war drums from the phalanx, shook his somewhat stiff neck, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drums, order the front phalanx to shrink and defend, and the seven phalanxes in the back row to go up." ”

The drums are violent and exciting, and the rhythm is so dense that people are a little breathless.

Zhang Baiqi slashed the enemy's head with a knife, kicked the enemy's body away, and then flew backwards, shouting wildly: "Shrink...... Shrink the defensive ......"

The phalanx soldiers strode back to the beat of the drums.

At the same time, the archers in each phalanx aimed at the front and launched a frantic burst of fire to block the enemy's pursuit attack.

Due to the reduction of the defensive range of the phalanx, the defending soldiers on the other three sides of the phalanx were immediately drawn out and replenished to the front of the phalanx with the most serious losses.

As soon as the front phalanx had finished shrinking, the archers in the phalanx immediately began to suppress fire to cover the forward movement of the seven phalanxes in the back row.

In such a fierce confrontation, the Han army even dared to change formations!

Gongsun Wen was furious, he felt that he was being underestimated by the enemy, his dignity was desecrated, he roared wildly, cursed incessantly, and ordered the troops to attack fiercely while the enemy was moving and the formation was unstable, and break the enemy's phalanx at all costs.

As long as the phalanx is breached, all that remains is a bloody slaughter of the enemy.

The Hu soldiers were also enraged. Under the command of the horns, they slightly sorted out their formation, and immediately began the fourth round of attacks, attacking in full and frenziedly.

A huge wave of sound suddenly broke off on the battlefield, a huge and tragic wave.

The phalanx that had shrunk and the phalanx that was advancing did not have a firm foothold, and the giant shields and giant spears did not play their maximum role, although they were covered by archers, but each phalanx was hit to varying degrees, and the casualties increased sharply.

As time passed, fifteen huge phalanxes finally stood side by side, lined up, forming a human wall more than two miles long.

Faced with the ironclad formation, Hu Ren began to be powerless, and there was a feeling of no way to start.

Gongsun Wen immediately ordered his subordinates to concentrate the main force, break the point first, and break one phalanx after another, as long as one or two phalanxes of the Youzhou army are broken, they will definitely be able to defeat all of them.

A part of the Hu cavalry, under the command of Horn, gathered slightly, and then launched a fifth round of attacks.

………………

Zhang Baiqi's phalanx was breached, and Fang Bao's phalanx was also breached.

The Hu cavalry swarmed up, and the soldiers on both sides immediately began bloody hand-to-hand combat, fierce and brutal, undying.

The drums of war for help were beating.

Zhao Yun immediately ordered the two military candidates to bring 1,000 men each to support quickly.

In order to support the troops to be able to quickly reach the destination, Zhao Yun specially equipped the 2,000 Chinese army with war horses.

The two supporting soldiers had already gone crazy, and it was uncomfortable for them to watch their allies fight in front while they stared dryly in the back. As soon as Zhao Yun's order was issued, the two troops rushed to the battlefield like two sharp arrows off the string.

Seeing that the support troops arrived, Zhang Baiqi and Fang Bao's phalanx immediately gave way to the passage. The soldiers of the support units shouted and roared in.

The Hu soldiers were taken by surprise, and the enemies in the phalanx were quickly killed and fled in disarray. (To be continued.) )
