"How dare these damn Han troops leave the camp?"
Seeing the Huns cavalry, they rushed towards the Han army's camp with great momentum.
Li Guang, on the other hand, directly issued an order that puzzled Yu Dan.
Facing the 3,000 Xiongnu cavalry, 2,000 Han Shenwu troops lined up neatly, divided into three rows, and kept approaching them!
"Your Highness, these Han people must have drank too much at night and are still drunk, right?"
Even Mo Li was surprised at this moment, even though the Han army's Shenwu army was indeed very strong, and their crossbows could be fired continuously.
But in the final analysis, they are just infantry. Without the support of other arms and no chariots as cover, do they still want to directly withstand the charge of the Huns cavalry by relying on themselves?
Yu Dan was defeated by the endless crossbows of the Han people last time. During the past few months in Dragon City, he had been thinking about the changes in the war situation every day.
Now that things are back to the starting point again, will Yu Dan still be so stupid?
"Raise your shield!"
Seeing that they were about to enter the shooting range of the Han army, the leading Huns cavalry shouted.
Then all the Huns cavalry picked up a small square shield from their horses.
Although this shield is not large in area, it can be said to be quite crude.
It's just a piece of wood that hasn't been dried yet covered with a layer of rawhide. This thing, at this time, has become an unparalleled weapon against the Shenwu Army.
"It seems that these Huns have learned to be smart!"
Liu Deng, who was watching the battle from the watchtower in the middle of the camp, couldn't help but smile and said to Li Guang.
"Your Majesty, you are still laughing... If these little bastards can't hold on, we will really be in trouble..."
Li Guang could only smile bitterly. Even at this time, his own king could still laugh.
"How could they not be able to hold on? If they can't hit a man, they can't hit a horse either?"
Liu Deng's face was full of sneers. Yes, this was a naked conspiracy.
In order not to expose the horse traps in advance, Liu Deng had to push the vanguard of the Shenwu Army to the edge of the horse traps.
As for the Huns wanting to abolish the Shenwu Army by relying on such a small square shield, that is simply a dream!
As the king of cold weapons, the crossbow has been passed down to future generations for thousands of years. Isn't it because of its powerful power?
Those who can restrain crossbows are, of course, full-body armor like Mo Daojun.
The method was clearly tied in front of the Huns, but they couldn't do it themselves...
The casting technology of the Huns lags far behind that of the Han Dynasty. This is basically the gap in comprehensive national strength, and also the difference between farming people and nomadic peoples.
This gap in hard power directly led to the outcome of this war.
In fact, the thinking patterns of all Han senior leaders before Liu Deng had already been solidified.
You know clearly that your own troops cannot defeat others, but you still insist on fighting them. Are you not looking for trouble for yourself?
The Huns' advantage lay in their superb equestrian skills, while the Han's advantage lay in their ability to make tools.
Using one's own shortcomings to attack another's strong points, isn't this asking for abuse?
With the emergence of Liu Deng, a series of technological reforms, a substantial increase in steel production, and Liu Deng's knowledge from later generations.
The emergence of Modao Army and Shenwu Army became a matter of course.
Although the entire battlefield is changing rapidly, the outcome of this war has already been determined.
"Team 1, shoot! Team 2, prepare!"
"Team 2, shoot! Team 3 is ready!"
"Team 3, shoot! Team 2 is ready!"
…
The simple and boring repetition began. These soldiers of the Shenwu Army have long been accustomed to this rhythm.
Ever since they were recruited into the Shenwu Army, they have been repeating this simple and mechanical process.
Some people even joke that they don’t need a brain at all, just a pair of eyes, a pair of ears and a pair of hands.
Seeing the repetition of the Shenwu Army begin, Yu Dan's expression finally turned serious.
"You must guard against it, you must guard against it!"
This is the last solution that Yu Dan can think of in his slender mind.
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
The first wave of arrows finally fell, and although there were many Huns cavalry, they fell off their horses.
But it has to be said that this method did have some effect. Most people still took precautions and continued to move towards the Han army's camp unharmed.
"Well done! Rush over! Rush over! Kill! Kill!"
Although Yu Dan himself knew that his voice could not be transmitted at all, he still shouted loudly subconsciously.
"kill--"
"kill--"
"kill--"
Three thousand Huns cavalry began to charge desperately, and the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps. As long as they could withstand two or three rounds of arrow rain.
In fact, as long as five hundred of them rush into the enemy's formation, it will be enough to crush everything.
But, is this really the case?
They think everything is too beautiful, so it will be extremely painful when they wake up from the dream.
When the distance between the two sides approached fifty steps, the square shield in the hand of the leading cavalry suddenly made a clicking sound.
"Crack--"
After a crisp sound, the shield in his hand broke into two pieces. This thing was really poorly made.
So when the distance reached fifty steps, they had no way to resist the force of the powerful arrows falling.
As the shield in his hand cracked, the arrows that fell immediately killed him.
This situation continued to spread. In just a few breaths, there were more than two thousand Huns cavalry left. Suddenly, the losses began to intensify. They were already dead within a distance of less than fifteen steps. Nearly four hundred people.
"damn it!"
Yu Dan's heart was in his throat. Although the loss of three thousand cavalry was not a big deal, it seemed that he had lost the vanguard before the battle began, and he didn't even touch the enemy. I am too incompetent.
In fact, no matter what Yu Dan thinks in his heart, things will always develop in the established direction.
The distance of just thirty steps, if it were normal times, would only take a few breaths at most based on the speed at which they sat down on their horses.
But now, it has almost become a natural chasm, ruthlessly devouring the lives of those soldiers.
When the last few Huns cavalry rushed towards the Shenwu Army, the originally ferocious expressions on their faces suddenly became full of fear...
