Every success does not come from accident, but more from the efforts made before success.

Just like now, Han Xin, standing on the Great Wall, looks down at the enemy and ourselves in front of him.

But in my mind, I am planning how to train the soldiers in the skill of constantly changing horses in the next time?

Those who understand will naturally understand; those who do not understand will not understand no matter how much they talk.

This effect can naturally be achieved by stopping some distance before the formation to change horses.

But the fighter plane is fleeting, so you can use this method when attacking, but what if you are pursuing?

The Huns performed this set of movements very smoothly and skillfully, fully highlighting the advantages that men who grew up on the grasslands should have.

Light equipment, excellent horsemanship.

These two points alone will cause the Han army to lose its advantage in pursuit.

Therefore, now in Han Xin's mind, there is another training that must be carried out.

If this problem cannot be solved, the Han army, even if it mounts war horses, will fall far short of expectations in terms of pursuit.

Moreover, compared to the Huns, almost every soldier in the Han army can be regarded as a heavily armored cavalry.

Just the twenty-two kilograms of iron armor on his body was enough to scare the Huns.

In the blink of an eye, the pursuing Huns began to adjust their targets.

Chasing the Yuezhi people can no longer satisfy their desires, and obviously, their original target this time when going south is not the Yuezhi people.

"Archers, prepare!" On the Great Wall, Han Xin looked at the distance between the two sides and issued combat instructions in a calm tone.

Positional warfare is also an advantage of the Han army.

The general is located behind the formation, condescending, and the battlefield situation is clear at a glance. When and what orders should be given, the general who is outside the battlefield can see at a glance, and can give more accurate instructions.

'Dong dong dong...'

A special drum sound sounded immediately, and the five thousand people below raised their combat readiness level to the highest level.

The first row of horse-zanting swordsmen at the front began to insert their horse-zanting swords diagonally on the ground, holding the handles of the swords with both hands, and adjusting the direction of the swords at any time according to the enemy's position.

Those standing in the second row raised their swords diagonally toward the back, ready to attack the enemies on their horses at any time, without giving them the chance to attack their comrades in the first row.

The third row has their horses striding forward and backward, with their swords facing diagonally backward, ready to attack the horse's legs at any time.

The movements of the fourth row are the same as those of the third row, while the fifth row remains upright, ready to use the method to meet the enemy at any time.

The archers behind them have ring-shou knives hanging on their waists. Next to them in the first few rows are three-meter-long cavalry guns. They are holding the bows with one hand and pressing the bow strings with the other hand. Each one is cold.

The arrow is aimed diagonally upward.

The Han army used strong bows, also called hard bows, which were the standard crossbows for infantry. Its advantages were long range and high lethality.

The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of effort to use, which is often not possible with war horses.

The shooting range of a strong bow is only a hundred steps. If it is thrown, and it is from a high position, the shooting range can even reach 1,780 steps, or even as far as 200 steps.

The riding bows used by the Huns were made of softer material and had a range of only sixty or seventy steps.

And when it comes to mounted shooting, accuracy is actually a big problem.

"Shoot!" Han Xin began to give the order when the enemy and we were two hundred steps away.

Although this distance is not within the attack range, don't forget that the opposite side is a high-speed charging cavalry.

From the time the order came out, to the reaction of the soldiers, and the time it took for the arrows to fly in the air, basically the arrows shot from this distance could just hit the first wave of enemies on the head.

These are the experiences summed up from countless battles.

‘Whoosh whoosh whoosh…’

Archers' shooting often only has a beginning. Once the general gives the order to shoot, what happens next depends on the performance of the soldiers themselves.

After all, if you move faster, you can shoot an extra arrow. If you are lucky, you might even be able to kill an enemy.

It is impossible to wait for a command to fire a round, and such a scene can only appear in film and television works.

The real battle may not look as good as the film and television works, but the scene is definitely extremely shocking.

The first three rows, without exception, are all quick shooters.

Han Xin still pays more attention to these details.

Put the fastest archer in the camp at the front, and once the order to fire is given, he will shoot all the arrows on his body as quickly as possible.

Then, they will put down their bows and arrows and transform into infantry, forming a new line of defense for the archers behind them, so that they can continuously attack the enemies in the rear.

The Huns were charging, and some were hit by arrows from time to time.

Those who were slightly injured were still gritting their teeth and holding on.

And some who were not so lucky fell off their horses directly.

For a moment, there was a trace of chaos in the attacking formation, and the overall formation did not look as dense as before.

Some fell off their horses and were trampled to death by friendly troops from behind, while others had their feet hung up by ropes and their heads were dragged forward by their horses.

In just one encounter, nearly a hundred of the Huns fell off their horses.

This number is already quite high. After all, the Huns also keep a distance from each other.

Gao Shu stood in the second row, looking at the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer to him.

There was a faint feeling of fear in his heart. If it were before, Gao Shu would have felt that he would most likely run away for his life.

When did you ever think that you would dare to stand here and face the charge of a cavalry group?

But I don't know why, although Gao Shu felt a little scared in his heart, he felt that he was not too panicked.

I have an indescribable feeling, scared and excited at the same time.

Gao Shu was not the only one in the entire team who felt this way.

More than a month of devil training had strengthened their mentality.

But without having been on the battlefield and without being tested in actual combat, it is impossible for them to completely abandon their worries.

But for a big man, that alone is enough.

No one thinks that recruits can transform in a short time after undergoing some devilish training. No one has such unrealistic illusions.

The purpose of devil training is actually just to enable the soldiers to stabilize their formation when encountering such a situation, and not to retreat in fear, let alone tremble in fear, and even be unable to hold their weapons steadily.

.

"Damn it, what are you shaking about?" Feeling a little nervous, Gao Shu decided to relax for a while. His comrade Liu Sangou in front of him kept shaking back and forth, and Gao Shu found the target instantly.

"You're so young, you're so stupid, am I dangling? What do you want with those stupid eyes? This is called aiming, have you forgotten what the instructor taught you so stupidly?" Liu Sangou cursed without looking back, holding up his hands.

It was still shaking slightly.

"How could I have forgotten? Don't be afraid, you bastard. I'm behind you. If those cowards dare to come, I won't chop them down with a knife. I'll chop them up and cook them for you to take tonic.

..." Gao Shu also looked forward, staring closely at the battlefield, but his mouth kept moving.

He was indeed nervous. Liu Sangou was not the only one dangling in the first row.

But everyone is shaking.

Do you think the first row of swords were stuck diagonally on the ground just to pierce the opponent?

wrong!

Big mistake!

Its real purpose is to make the opponent feel frightened when they see this long and big sword, so that they don't dare to ride their horse directly towards the person like in normal combat.

The purpose of rocking back and forth is to allow them to avoid others and pass through the space left behind.

The space left is three meters apart.

The length of the sword is also three meters.

One hundred people were scattered in a 300-meter-wide area, and in this 300-meter-wide battle formation, it was impossible for anyone to survive.

"The arrow is coming, lower your head..." Gao Shu looked ahead and reminded.

"Do you still need to remind me? Take care of yourself first!" Liu Sangou said angrily.

When it comes to the probability of being injured by an arrow, of course the probability is the lowest among the 100 people in the first row.

For no other reason than they were all squatting.

The armor on their bodies was just enough to cover their lower limbs, and they wore iron armor on their heads. The Huns' arrows could not hurt them at all.

But the latter ones are different. In comparison, their two arms and the position below the knees are relatively easy to be hit by arrows.

'Ding……'

'Stab...'

Liu Sangou only felt that his head was hit hard by something. There was a lining inside the chest. Although it was very simple, it also cushioned the impact very well.

So Liu Sangou's head just shook slightly and returned to its original state.
