Two days later, the Beifu Army was in the woods outside Feibao Camp.

On a barren hill outside the forest, seven or eight sergeants were sitting on the ground, each with a serious expression. Except for Liu Yu, whose face was calm, everyone's eyes were turned to He Wuji, whose face was covered with dirt and in a state of embarrassment.

Tan Pingzhi sighed and broke the silence: "I didn't expect this northern cavalry to be so powerful. Even General He's troops only lasted less than two hours before they were completely annihilated. The enemy troops that were wiped out were not even To three hundred. No wonder Duke Huan was defeated by the Murong family’s cavalry during his Northern Expedition. Now I believe it.”

He Wuji was dejected, like a beaten rooster, and murmured: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it, they are cheating, the weather is so good today, they can let them spread dust everywhere, if it rains or is in a dense forest, Fighting here, I don’t believe their cavalry can still run around like this, the sky is filled with smoke and dust!”

Liu Yu said calmly: "Wuji, don't say that. One thousand, five hundred people fighting against one thousand people always has an advantage. Besides, will you be asked to choose the time and place on the battlefield? If you want to choose, it is also the choice of the cavalry. , they run very fast, and if the terrain and direction are unfavorable, they can withdraw without fighting. Our infantry cannot catch up."

Wei Yongzhi's three pieces of rabbit moved: "Is there really no way for us to defeat them? General He also used all conventional tactics. The chariots and soldiers quickly installed wooden planks as arrow towers. The infantry also quickly formed their formation and put on their antlers and horses, so the cavalry wouldn't be able to break through."

Liu Yu shook his head: "These are just on paper. They will be like those Xianbei cavalry today. They will first use the auxiliary horse to charge from the horse to lure us to release arrows. After most of our arrows are consumed, we will send out the main force to attack. First, use the main force to attack." The lasso pulls away the obstacles in front of our formation, and then the cavalry rushes into the formation. The flesh and blood of our infantry, without the cover of the cart, cannot stop such a powerful assault!"

He Wuji suddenly jumped up and said loudly: "No, this is what I am dissatisfied with this time. Why did the opponent's 500 cavalry charge at the front of my 800 infantry? According to the rules of the exercise, they rushed within ten steps. Even if we lose? This rule is unfair. Our infantry's dense phalanx, with its spears like a forest, can't stop the cavalry attack? Even if there is an exchange, it should be one to one. Why should they be judged to have lost fifty? Just let all eight hundred of us be wiped out?"

Everyone on the side nodded repeatedly: "Yes, our rifles are not shorter than theirs, and our formation is not chaotic. Why is it unfair to count us as losers in a cavalry assault? Ordinarily, infantry has an advantage in close combat. .”

Liu Yu sighed, stood up, pointed to the big tree in the woods to one side that was broken by Murong Nan Shengsheng a few days ago, and said, "Have you seen this broken pine tree?"

Everyone looked at it. They didn't pay attention at first. It wasn't until they saw the broken section of the tree that it looked like it was exploding. Then their expressions changed and Xiang Jing said in surprise: "What's going on? This big tree doesn't look like it was given to someone." It was sawed off, could it be that it was struck by lightning?"

Sun Chu curled his lips: "No, no, if it was struck by lightning, the section should be charred black. It can't be like this. It feels, it feels like it was directly interrupted by a huge force. How could anyone be like this?" With divine power, can you split such a big tree with a knife or an ax? Brother Jinu, is that you?"

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "If it was chopped with a knife and axe, the section should be very smooth, but is it like this?"

Xie Zingfeng's eyes lit up and he lost his voice: "This, this feels like being stabbed by a spear!"

Tan Pingzhi rolled his eyelids: "How is it possible? If you can pierce this tree with a spear at most, how can you break it in one go? This requires at least two thousand kilograms of strength. Even Brother Jinu doesn't have this strength."

Liu Yu sighed and said seriously: "No need to guess, this is the leader of the shadow army this time, the man named Murong Nan, who stabbed on horseback and knocked him down in one strike. Now you know the power of this cavalry assault, right?"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise and they were speechless. After a long while, Wei Yongzhi shook his head in disbelief: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. How can that Murong Nan be so thin and small? How can he be so powerful? What if? If it’s the sprinting power of a horse, then he would have been knocked off his feet a long time ago.”

Liu Yu shook his head, stood up, picked up a walking pole, walked towards a smaller pine tree on the side, thrust his arms through his arms, and shouted loudly: "Strike!" He strode like flying and rushed forward. He stood up until he was in front of the small pine tree, and then stabbed out with a sudden thrust.

There was just a "bang" sound, and the small tree surrounded by one person was pierced through. Liu Yu's wrist flicked, just like Murong Nan that day, it turned violently, and a crack began to pierce from the place where it was pierced. , splitting horizontally along the circumference of the tree, and finally spreading to the entire cross-section of the tree. Slowly, the small tree slowly fell down with a "boom".

Liu Yu turned around and faced the silent crowd and said, "Did you see it? This is the bonus effect of force. The power of our stabbing on the spot is very different from that of rushing up and stabbing. Our Both arms have a strength of more than 400 kilograms, but if you rush at full speed, it can have 600 to 700 kilograms, which is enough to pierce the tree. As long as the wrists add a little more movement, the tree will receive bonus damage from the rotation. "

He paused and said: "And the impact speed of the war horse is much faster than that of us people, and the momentum converted by its weight is much greater than that of one of us. Therefore, during the exercise, if those cavalry are really If they collided with the infantry formation, they would kill at most one cavalryman, and our infantrymen of more than ten columns would all fall. This is using their flesh and blood bodies to resist the impact of thousands of kilograms, which is beyond human ability. "

He Wuji's face was ashen, and the sweat on his head was dripping. Liu Yu looked at He Wuji and said seriously: "Wuji, there is no problem with the judgment of the exercise. The enemy's five hundred cavalry, divided into a team of fifty, will take turns. Impact, fifty people are almost lined up, facing your entire front."

"The first wave of you were completely overwhelmed by these cavalry, and more than half of them were killed or injured in one impact. The remaining people either fell to the ground or failed to form an array, and were unable to fight with the subsequent enemy forces. If you ask me, the fifty casualties of the other party were still Count as far as possible.”

"Because the Murong family's armored cavalry are all equipped with armor and cavalry. They will abandon their weapons when they charge into the formation. It is difficult for them to fly out directly. Like that day when Murong's attack knocked down the big tree, he could still fly steadily. On horseback, if it was during a drill, he would be considered dead!" chapter;
