The long-spray infantry heard the sound of trumpets behind and consciously concentrated in the middle, compressing the distance between the soldiers to the greatest extent, leaving a distance of two feet wide between the teams, and then retreated and marched backward, leaving more than a hundred steps between the front and the chariot.

The 1,500 crossbowmen who had just retreated to the rear and re-equipped the three-company infantry crossbows, and two thousand archers, all rushed forward from this gap, occupying more than a hundred steps of space at once.

These well-trained elite Sui army soldiers quickly formed the formation in less than five minutes. The crossbowmen were in front, relying on the baffle of the cart to send rain of arrows to the dense cavalry formation opposite. The archers were divided into three rows behind and took turns to move forward, pouring the rain of arrows into the sky as fast as possible, turning into dark clouds covering the sky, covering and cleaning the Wagang Knights who were constantly firing in front.

The Wagang cavalry, who had no support or cover at all, and could not obtain enough acceleration through forward shock to increase the power of bows and arrows, showed their disadvantages when shooting with the Sui army's pedestrian crossbowmen, carefully chose this battlefield. The width of the river beach between the Langshan and Luoshui was only three or four hundred steps, and it was impossible for the Wagang cavalry to detour, and it was impossible for them to form a special cavalry ring. They could take turns to shoot arrows. Only the second wave of more than 1,500 cavalrymen were standing in front.

Moreover, the power of the two-stone recurved bow of the cavalry is incomparable to that of the four-stone crossbow arrows of the infantry and the composite bow of the two-stone three-stop. The thick iron armor on the body is indeed an excellent protective tool when fighting in the battle between the formation, but when pulling the bow like this, the armor on the arm makes people feel heavy after pulling the bow ten or eight times, and they can no longer lift it up, and they cannot exert force.

In just a moment, nearly half of the more than 1,500 Wagang cavalry in the second wave were shot down, and the rest were all covered in arrows, covered in blood, gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on, but no further order was received, and no one dared to take a step back.

Li Mi gritted her teeth. As an excellent commander who was in the Central Plains and had not suffered a defeat, what he was more skillful than others was that he knew when to give in. The current situation was very clear. All his moves were expected by the other party, and fighting in this area was extremely unfavorable. If you continue to fight, you will only ruin all your capital here. Not to mention defending Yuecheng, it is impossible to return to Wagang to be a leader of a parody. He waved his hand decisively: "Send the order, the whole army retreats and breaks south, hurry!"

On the other hand, Cheng Yaojin was shocked when he heard this, he got off the horse and knelt down in front of Li Mi's horse, pulled Li Mi's reins, and cried out at the top of his throat: "Duke Wei, you can't retreat. So many brothers have died in battle. If you retreat like this, everyone will not be willing to accept it. Please let me lead the team to rush once again, just once! If you don't break through these broken cars of the Sui army, I will die in battle under this Yuecheng!"

Li Mi was upset and waved a whip and whipped Cheng Yaojin heavily. A whip mark of more than one foot long suddenly appeared. He shouted loudly: "If you rush again, my capital will be gone! If you want to die by yourself, don't take my people to die!"

Cheng Yaojin let go of his hand dejectedly. After he had been following Li Mi for many years, he knew that his master had made up his mind, and even ten cows could not be pulled back. He could only grit his teeth and rode back on the horse. Li Mi turned his horse's head and shouted sternly: "What are you still hesitating! Hurry up and send orders. The Sui army obviously set up an ambush to deal with us. If it is too late, it may not be possible!"

Two miles away, Luo Shixin, on the side of the right wing of the Sui army, was also in a panic. Four or five Sui army's feather arrows were inserted into his body, and more than ten were inserted into his mount. If this war horse had not been wearing a vest and an extremely divine sweat-blooded horse, he would have been killed long ago. The guards surrounded by him had already suffered more than half of the casualties. Half an hour ago, the horse stepped onto the Sui army and killed the generals and seized the flag had long disappeared.

As reinforcements continued to gush out from behind the Sui army, his vanguard could no longer move. Instead, the Sui army's infantry spear hand was strengthened. After stabilizing the formation, it began to counterattack in turn, losing its impact and entered a close melee with the infantry. The scimitar and heavy sword in his hand were far short of the length of the opponent's long spear, and they were stabbed off the horse one by one.

What's even more terrible is that the long spears in the hands of these Sui army's Huainan infantry were specially made. In addition to their super long length, there was also a small branch with an inner hook on the side, which not only could thorns, but also could put down the legs of the war horses. More than half of the cavalry of the Wagang Army were all for these hooks and hooks.

Now Luo Shixin has taken all the reserve teams, but he still can't stop the enemy's advancement, and the front line has reached the verge of collapse!

What is even more terrifying than the Sui army's infantry spearmen was that the rain of death caused by the archers was originally unable to participate in the hand-to-hand combat of the rear cavalry in Wagang, so they took out the bows and arrows on the spot and poured rain of arrows into the Sui army's infantry front. With this method of shooting forward and backward, Luo Shixin's troops initially had the advantage, killing more than 1,500 opponents, and their own losses were only about 500.

However, as the archers of the Sui army entered the battle, gradually hit the two sides' confrontation, Luo Shixin's troops' disadvantages became more and more obvious, and they could still match each other at first. However, after half an hour of shooting, the firepower was completely suppressed by the opponent's archers with at least 4,000 people. Even the guards around him had already suffered more than half of the casualties and could not bear to fight again!

Luo Shixin gradually realized in his heart that there was no hope of winning in this battle. He did not pay attention when he was at the beginning. Now he realized that the Sui army's formation was light in front and heavy in the back, and the troops in front seemed to be insufficient, but the further back, the denser the lineup and the stronger the elasticity.

This terrain is not flat, and it is impossible to run with all its strength. This is also the reason why the Sui army's long spearmen can hardly attack their own war horses with flesh and blood. Once the first wave cannot defeat the opponent, it will become increasingly disadvantageous later. In particular, the opponent's hidden archers continue to join the battle, which makes the side pay a huge price for every step further. This narrow passage restricts the mobility of its own troops, allowing its cavalry to neither circumvent or attack at full speed.
