As long as it lasts for a day and follow-up reinforcements arrive, even if the enemy cannot be defeated, it can still escape intact.

"The key to the problem lies in the shooting skills of these cavalry..." Xu Xingguo said with lingering fear: "These cavalry are the support of the Xiongnu Chanyu. Among the other ten thousand Xiongnu cavalry, there can be one shooting vulture among the five hundred cavalry.

They are already considered elite... However, among the Xu Huan Army, based on what I saw back then, there was almost one eagle shooter or quasi-eagle shooter for every ten riders!"

"His archery skills are superb and his accuracy is very high!"

"Fifty steps away, you can make sure your arrows hit the target!"

"My brother, I just suffered this loss..."

Xu Xingguo closed his eyes and recalled what he saw and heard that day.

The Xiongnu cavalry, approaching the Han army's formation more than fifty steps away, suddenly launched a collective force, and arrows rained down with astonishing accuracy.

More than a hundred people in the front row fell in an instant, and most of them were officers or soldiers in key positions.

Then, they suddenly spread out to the two wings and fired continuously, taking advantage of their archery skills to the extreme.

You must know that at that time, neither the Xiongnu nor the Han Dynasty had stirrups and saddles. The rider had to draw a bow on a horse, and it was very difficult on a horse that was moving at high speed. Most people had to slow down or simply stop.

, to draw the bow.

But these Huns are natural riders.

They can also draw their bows freely on smooth horseback.

At that time, his brother immediately suffered a big loss because of this, and the front row officers suffered heavy losses.

However, the arrows fired by the crossbowmen in the back row could hardly pose a threat to these scattered and high-speed maneuvering cavalry.

His brother's army was in disarray.

In field battles, infantry faces cavalry. Once the formation is chaotic, the consequences can be imagined.

That battle was the biggest defeat of the Feihu Army since its founding.

The three thousand troops were driven out of Yeshui by the Huns like dumplings.

Countless people died, and in the end, only a few hundred people survived.

Xu Xingguo was lucky. He caught a piece of the wreckage of a chariot in the cold river water, and the buoyancy prevented him from drowning. Even so, after he was rescued, it took him a full year to recover from his injuries.

But his brother and other colleagues did not have such good luck.

After that time, the Flying Fox Army spent three years recuperating, and it was not until Jin Shang ascended the throne that he slowly regained his strength.

"So many vulture shooters!" Yi Zong and other Han army officers also took a breath of air when they heard this.

The Xiongnu vulture shooters are a serious worry for the Han army even today.

These Xiongnu sharpshooters have always been the priority targets of the Han army to eliminate and annihilate.

The big yellow crossbow in the past and the divine arm bow now are all tailor-made for them.

The attack order of all long-range strike weapons of the Han army has always been vulture shooter - noble - officer.

"We must find a way to eliminate this White Wolf Cavalry, the Xiongnu's army!" Yi Zong made the decision almost immediately.

The Eagle Shooter, the strongest soldier of the Huns, is also the backbone of the Huns.

Even in the Han Dynasty, it would take more than three years to train a sharpshooter, and the soldier also needed to have good talents.

In the Xiongnu, Yi Zong believes that the requirements are definitely more stringent.

This Xuhuan Army was probably an army formed by the Huns who mobilized elites from all over the country.

Eliminating him would be equivalent to breaking one of the Huns' arms, or even breaking half of the Huns' body!

Therefore, this army must be annihilated regardless of right and wrong!

Even if we let go of the Xiongnu Chanyu, we must destroy it!

The reason is very simple. After the Huns died of a chanyu, they could establish another one.

However, like Zhelan, there should be only one Xuhuan Army. If it is eliminated, the Huns will not be able to form another cavalry of the same type within at least ten years!

"Let's talk about the other two Wanqi..." Yi Zong also sat up straight. Xu Huan's army was already so elite. Yi Zong felt that the other two Wan Qi would not easily go there.
