The Qiang and Hu troops continued to charge, and they quickly crossed the 300-step distance, which made Liu Bei's thoughts rise again.
"Two hundred steps..."
Two hundred steps!
Liu Bei was also impressed by this distance, because when they were at this distance before, the army had actually begun to collapse.
Even though the confrontation hadn't really started yet, the antlers of the Jima Deer in front of them were almost useless and were destroyed by the Qiang Hu.
So the soldiers under his command began to panic at that moment.
Let them directly face the charge of Qiang and Hu, and face the charge of cavalry. They have no preparation and do not have enough courage to do such a thing.
But at this moment...the soldiers from Paoze whom they were so familiar with still didn't make any move at this time.
This indifferent look, this calm look, even made Liu Bei feel a little ashamed...
"One hundred and fifty steps..."
One hundred and fifty steps!
This was when Liu Bei himself lost his courage. Facing the charging Qiang and Hu cavalry, he lost his courage and directly shouted for the soldiers to start retreating.
It was at this time that they completely failed.
Just when their troops began to flee, the Han soldiers led by Gongsun Zhu finally moved.
"Get ready!" At this moment, Gongsun Zhu rode out directly, with a determined look on his face that didn't seem to contain any emotion.
The horse in his hand was also raised high at this moment. Following his movements, all the crossbowmen in the army raised their bows and arrows diagonally.
One hundred and twenty steps... At this time, the Qiang and Hu could even clearly see the faces of the Han soldiers and the expressions on their faces.
But this time, there was no fear or panic on the Han army's face, no fear or worry. The faces of all the soldiers now had the same look.
That's expressionless!
There was no emotion, he just looked at the Qiang Hu charging in front of him calmly.
Perhaps this scene stimulated the Qiang and Hu people. Seeing that the other party was so indifferent to them, the Qiang and Hu finally felt a little angry in their hearts.
The charging Qiang Hu kept swinging the sword in his hand. The simple sword was not very sharp, but it was equally ferocious when wielded.
And from their mouths came shouts that others could not understand.
Although they didn't understand it, everyone could understand that it was the beginning of the massacre and the abusive words...
But at this time, Gongsun Zhu finally changed again. The horse in his hand suddenly waved downwards, and at the same time a roar broke out from his mouth.
"Serial fire!"
With a loud roar, the crossbowman at the front immediately fired the arrow in his hand, then immediately squatted down and pulled out the second arrow, ready to shoot again.
And just as they were preparing, the crossbowmen behind them had already completed the second, third and even fourth round of shooting.
Immediately after, the soldier who first shot the arrow in his hand unfurled his bow and shot another arrow.
A large army kept shooting arrows in their hands, which actually gave the arrows a continuous meaning.
Back then, in order to face the barbarians who seemed to be unable to kill them cleanly, the soldiers of the border army continued to improve their fighting methods.
From the initial volley to shooting the arrows in batches, although the power seems to have been reduced by half or more.
But the power of this continuous posture is even more amazing.
At this time, Gongsun Zhu was even more serious. Gongsun Zhu, who had never tried this method, directly divided the crossbowmen into four groups and shot them.
They circulated back and forth, forming a shower of arrows, which fell on the Qiang Hu who rushed over.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry who had been charging madly just now were constantly falling off their horses under the rain of arrows.
However, just because of the continuous attacks, the threat felt by Qiang Hu was not as strong as the salvo.
And Qiang Hu had no intention of stopping.
Because it doesn’t matter whether you live or die after being hit by an arrow.
As long as it is on this kind of battlefield, once they fall off the horse, they will die, because no one will choose to dodge when charging.
Rush over and you'll have a chance!
Stop, there is only death!
Arrows rained down again and again, but the distance between the Qiang and the Han army was indeed getting closer and closer.
One hundred steps...seventy steps...fifty steps...
When the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, Gongsun Zhu finally made another change.
"Bows retreat, spears, move forward!"
"Erect the shield!"
"Spear!"
Three orders appeared from Gongsun Zhu's mouth almost at the same time. Even the quick orders represented retreat, advance and hold.
But it still didn't make the soldiers panic. They had already trained in this situation countless times.
When they heard Gongsun Zhu's order and saw the flag waving, the soldiers completed these things in a very short time!
The wooden shield half a man's height had been smashed to the ground. All the sword and shield soldiers held the shield firmly with their shoulders, waiting for the impact of the Qiang and Hu cavalry.
Behind them was a Han soldier who was ready to attack and holding a spear.
The spear was placed on top of the shield, the spearhead stretched out long, and the handle was fixed to the ground, supported by the soldiers' hands.
This is also Gongsun Zhu's experience. It is absolutely impossible to resist the charge of the cavalry with flesh and blood.
It has not happened twice in the history of Bu Shengqi, but countless experiences have also allowed them to find how to minimize their casualties.
At this time, the Qiang Hu discovered that there was no arrow rain above their heads, and they became even more excited as they lost the threat.
After Beigong Boyu's roar, they immediately rushed over and collided with the Han soldiers who were waiting in full formation.
In the fierce collision, the Han army was not knocked into the air as Liu Bei and others imagined, and their camp was not even half confused.
The violent impact directly caused the sword and shield soldiers in the front row to bleed from their mouths and noses, and the soldiers behind them holding spears also did not benefit.
This method is the best method now, but it does not mean that this method can avoid casualties.
The huge impact was still reflected on the soldiers holding spears, and the fractures in both arms were the least severe results.
Every time the sharp spear penetrated a Qianghu or their war horses, these soldiers would feel a violent impact on their hands.
The huge force can even directly break their bones and even chests...
And even though their hands are now covered in blood, they can't move rashly.
In order to ensure the integrity of the military formation, the number of soldiers standing behind did not hesitate to increase to thousands again.
They did not replace the soldiers holding spears, but directly pressed against the backs of the soldiers in front to prevent them from being knocked away...
The benefits of doing this are also very obvious, Qiang Hu stopped!
But in doing so, the hundreds of soldiers holding spears and the sword and shield men in front were almost completely annihilated.
The strong wooden shield shattered immediately, but what really blocked the cavalry charge was not the shield, but the flesh and blood behind the shield.
Relying on the lives of hundreds of sword and shield soldiers in the front row and hundreds of soldiers in the back, Gongsun Zhu was able to slow down the Qiang Hu.
This scene completely shocked Liu Bei and others on the hill. They did not expect that this kind of tactics would be used on the battlefield.
But Bei Gong Boyu is not a fool.
When he found that his Qiang and Hu cavalry were hindered in their attack, he immediately ordered the Qiang and Hu cavalry to retreat immediately...
Counterattack!
This is a small trick that the Han cavalry is best at, and it is also one of the simplest tricks among the cavalry. When the front is blocked, it can quickly turn around to increase the speed again.
This is also one of the methods Beigong Boyu learned.
The most important thing about cavalry is speed. A cavalry that loses its speed will not be much stronger than the big man's infantry.
Facing the opponent's siege, they still had no chance to win.
But just when they changed direction and were about to rush out, Gongsun Zhu gave the order again.
"Where is Zilong! Attack!"
Following this order, the cavalry who had been following on both sides of the army immediately rushed out after stopping.
At this time, a general among the cavalry also stepped out of the formation, holding a spear majestically.
Zhao Yun's sudden charge caught the Qiang Hu off guard, and Beigong Boyu's eyes widened.
The appearance of the Han cavalry directly cut off the Qiang and Hu cavalry who had just turned around and had not yet picked up their speed.
With the simplest cross attack, Zhao Yun completely separated the Qiang and Hu cavalry.
At this time, Na Tian Yu finally found an opportunity and said the word "kill".
The Han soldiers under his command also rushed over directly.
In this way, after the Qiang and Hu cavalry had just won an extremely easy victory, they encountered Gongsun Zhu, who was waiting for a long time.
Under the gaze of Liu Bei and others, the Qiang Hu cavalry who had just beaten them to death were driven back by Gongsun Zhu, whom they were extremely familiar with.
This feeling gave them an indescribable feeling.
Seeing that the Qiang and Hu cavalry had no effect after several attacks, Beigong Boyu finally released the Mingdi from his waist. Then with a blast of horns, the Qiang and Hu cavalry began to rush and flee crazily towards the way they came.
Liu Bei couldn't help but lower his eyes.
Although Gongsun Zhu did not completely wipe out the Qiang and Hu in this battle, it was not even considered a heavy blow to the Qiang and Hu.
To hold on to death is just to defeat the opponent head-on, and in the end it is the cavalry that we rely on.
But... Liu Bei also understood very well that even if he had the same cavalry under his command, he would not be able to achieve the results Gongsun Zhu had just achieved.
"Is this the difference between us..."
"Brother..."
"It's time to go down!" Liu Bei interrupted Zhang Fei's words, and at the same time his eyes changed when he looked at Gongsun Zhu, "Don't keep the general waiting too long!"
