On the small hillock, Liu Yu looked calm. Looking at the battle formation in front of him, the Huns' cavalry were galloping wildly. However, his side almost only took beatings but did not fight back. Occasionally, there were a few archers in heavy armor. He rushed out from behind the shield of the garrison. Before he could shoot two arrows, he was hit in the front. Then he screamed, fell behind the shield, and was dragged to the back of the formation. Then he would get up as if nothing had happened and pat his body. Dust, continue to prepare to go out and perform a new death-faking performance.
Sun Chu on the side couldn't help but said: "Brother Jinu, it's not an option to keep shooting at people like this. There is no shield in front of the front team. They rely entirely on their long spears and armor to carry them. If they are shot at the face of those without armor, This place is still going to cost you your life!”
Before he finished speaking, two muffled sounds came from the front. Two unlucky Changshan infantrymen were shot directly through the front door by an arrow. This time they did not pretend to be dead. They just threw the Changshan away and fell to the ground. , the people behind didn't even bother to drag the body back, and just filled the gap in front.
The corner of Sun Chu's mouth curled up: "Brother Jinu, even if you want to fake defeat, you can still shoot with them. At least, you won't just get beaten without fighting back."
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, continue to let the Huns shoot. Only in this way can it appear realistic. If we have a full-scale shooting with them, we can't pretend to lose. Brothers have strong hands. At this distance of fifty steps Above, if the arrows are released, the enemy will be killed. In the end, the Huns cavalry must be shot back, so that the more than 10,000 enemy cavalrymen in the rear will not dare to move forward. Now, what I need is to endure, and endure again!"
Having said this, Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Act as planned, raise the red flag, and let the battle front team come forward!"
In the rear of the Beifu Army, on a high slope, dozens of cowhide war drums were beating to an extremely loud noise. He Wuji was naked, holding two drumsticks, and beating them desperately, as if he was trying to kill the enemy who could not move forward. All the grievances were vented on this cowhide drum head.
Dressed as a scribe, he looked a bit thin compared to the tall and stout warriors around him. The young man in Tsing Yi, about twenty-five or six years old, was the son of Shangshu Lang Deng Xuan, named Deng Qianzhi, who was accompanying the leading sergeant of the Tiger Army this time. , Kai Cao, who was in charge of the Beifu Army at the time, was a classmate of He Wuji since childhood, so he volunteered to follow He Wuji this time. He frowned deeply, looked at the battle ahead, and said: "Wuji , do you think Liu Yu can really repel these Huns cavalry?"
He Wuji's hands never stopped, and while breathing heavily, he said: "It's no problem. I believe in Ji Nu. I have seen his methods in the casino. When he is not very sure, he is You wouldn’t make a big bet like that.”
Deng Qianzhi shook his head: "But I heard that Liu Yu once lost to Diao Kui. He even lost too much and couldn't pay off his gambling debts. He was hung up and beaten, and almost died. This time he won't do it again." It’s just a matter of fun.”
He Wuji's drumbeat stopped for a moment, and then sounded again: "No, this time is different. Last time, Diao found a woman from a gambling king in the north to cheat him, and he also controlled her later. Liu Yu's family just forced him to submit, but they are not really capable. When Liu Yu discussed with our military this time, he was very sure that everything was within his plan. Didn't everything develop according to his plan? "
Deng Qianzhi sighed: "But it's not a problem to only be beaten without attacking like this. After all, people are made of flesh and blood. How can they withstand such a shooting? What if..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a red flag was raised in front of Commander Liu Yu. Deng Qian jumped up from the ground, pointed at the red flag and shouted: "Red flag? What do you mean, is this an attack?"
When the drums stopped, He Wuji opened his mouth wide and looked at the infantry formation in front. The soldiers in the front row had already stood up from the ground. The soldiers in the rear put their long swords on the shoulders of their companions in front and shouted slogans continuously. , while starting to advance forward with neat steps, facing the Hun cavalry dozens of steps away in front, approaching with an unstoppable momentum, He Wuji murmured to himself: "This is a trick. What? Giving away someone’s head?!”
In the grove, Lu Xun also frowned deeply. Sun En looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, what is Liu Yu doing? Has he run out of arrows? Or is he forced by the Huns cavalry to take the initiative? Attacked?"
Xu Daofu laughed: "I think we may have overestimated Liu Yu. He has no such ability! Including those flying arrows, I'm afraid it's because after the arrows are used up, they can only intercept and throw them. Now he His troops had no flying spears or arrows. He originally set up this formation to ask the Huns to follow the example of Shao Bao in front of him and get confused and hit them by themselves. However, these Huns had learned the lesson and did not step forward. , only shoot but not rush. This made Liu Yu dumbfounded. Rather than shoot them all to death, it is better to survive in death and give it a try!"
Having said this, Xu Daofu looked at Lu Xun: "Second senior brother, you think too much of Liu Yu. In fact, he is also a mortal. Just like the last time he gambled, he will also lose. Many times, he just I'm just pretending to be calm, but if I get really anxious, it's like gambling, all my brains will go crazy."
Lu Xun shook his head: "No, I don't think Liu Yu is such a person. He lost the gambling because the woman named Ji Liwan was a cheat. Liu Yu had never seen such a clever gambler, so he thought he was relying on it. You can definitely win by shouting dice, so you will suffer a loss. But this time is different. The Hun cavalry on the opposite side does not have any clever tricks, it is just the kind of riding and shooting. Liu Yu can't even deal with this. "
Sun En smiled slightly: "Maybe all the arrows were shot in front, and there is nothing we can do now. Junior Brother Xu is right. Maybe Liu Yu just wants to trick the enemy into charging into the battle."
Lu Xun frowned: "No, even if there is really a shortage of arrows, Shao Bao's two thousand men were wiped out in front, and there are quivers on the corpses. They can be taken back, so there are no arrows. I think Liu Yu must be If there are any backup plans, please stay calm and keep watching, we will see the result soon!"
In front of the Xiongnu army, Baoerji's face was gloomy. He looked at the infantry phalanx of the Beifu Army advancing forward. This time, the soldiers in the front row were holding shields. Behind the shields, there were forests of spears and arrows from the Huns cavalry. , shooting at their fronts like raindrops, and soon the more than two hundred shields supported by the front line were filled with arrows like targets. However, with such protection, the opponent's formation could not No matter who fell down, they would still push forward firmly and forcefully.
The deputy general next to him rode forward again and said loudly: "General Bao, the enemy infantry has left the grassy area to attack. Our soldiers are retreating while shooting. What should we do now? Should we outflank them or continue to retreat?"
Baoerji sneered and said: "Can their two legs still outrun our four legs? Give the order, keep a distance of fifty steps from the enemy, retreat slowly, and continue shooting with arrows after retreating to fifty steps. I I want to see it..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a dark cloud-like rain of arrows rose up from the opposite step formation, and Baoerji suddenly shouted: "No, advance with the step bow!"
