Three Kingdoms: Gene Extraction

Fortunately, the wooden shield of the Xianbei shield soldier can still resist the attack of bows and arrows well.

However, under such a large-area coverage attack.

The defensive effect that the Xianbei shield soldiers can return to is not great, and the Xianbei soldiers still suffer heavy losses.

The 240,000 Xianbei army, before it could approach the army of the Longhan Empire, had already lost nearly 10,000 people, which was terrifying.

“Cavalry, charge!”

This is not the way, and the Xianbei general immediately changed his strategy and let the Xianbei cavalry directly charge.

Although this will cause heavy losses to the Xianbei cavalry, there is at least hope that they can rush to the Longhan Empire army and have a hand-to-hand battle.

Only in this way can the role of the archers of the Longhan Empire be minimized.

One hundred thousand Xianbei cavalry, the charge launched, the momentum is absolutely unparalleled.

However, the 20,000 archers of the Longhan Empire still did not flinch in the slightest, still methodically, and continued to shoot the arrows in their hands.

Similarly, more than a dozen crossbows are still attacking.

The terrifying crossbow arrow easily penetrated the body of the war horse, bringing a devastating blow to the cavalry.

The rain of black-pressed arrows covered the sky and poured down, penetrating the body of the Xianbei cavalry and the body of the war horse.

Xianbei cavalry were constantly shot, but they still did not stay.

After entering their range, these Xianbei cavalry also took out their light bows and launched an attack on the archers of the Longhan Empire.

For a time, the archers of the Longhan Empire also had a large number of deaths and injuries.

Although the bow and arrow attacks of the Xianbei cavalry were not as fierce as theirs, they had 100,000 people, which was much stronger than them.

“Shield soldiers step forward!”

The commander of the Youzhou army ordered in a deep voice.

Then, 20,000 shield soldiers quickly stepped forward and blocked their shields in front of the archers.

Their shields were taller than humans, and they were raised high enough to block the arrows of the Xianbei cavalry.

Moreover, they used all iron shields, which were very thick and heavy, and were not suitable for long-distance movement.

Their main role is not to resist the bow and arrow attacks of alien cavalry, but to block, or reduce the impact of alien cavalry.

Since Gao Shun’s camp completely destroyed the five thousand tiger and leopard horses of the Wei state in Yanzhou, such a shield soldier with a heavy shield appeared among the state soldiers in the states of the Longhan Empire.

Of course, they were far from the trapping camp, but they were enough to reduce the impact of the cavalry.

Because there were shield soldiers guarding in front, the dozen or so bed crossbows naturally could not play a role, and they were transferred to the rear of the army.

After all, in front of them are their own companions, and it is impossible to attack with a crossbow.

But archers are different.

The archers shoot diagonally into the sky, striking a perfect arc and pouring down.

They could stand behind the shield soldiers and continue to attack in the direction where the Xianbei cavalry rushed.

And the bow and arrow attacks of the Xianbei cavalry naturally cannot be as large as the archers, and they are basically flat shots.

Most of the arrows shot out were blocked by the shield soldiers of the Longhan Empire.

Only a small number of arrows passed through the gaps between the shields, causing damage to the archers and shield soldiers of the Longhan Empire.

Despite the continuous attacks of the archers of the Longhan Empire, they inflicted huge casualties on the Xianbei cavalry.

But there were too many Xianbei cavalry, and the speed was not slow, and finally let them approach.

In close combat, the role of archers is not great.

The commander of the Youzhou Army shouted: “The archers retreat, and the pikemen step forward.” ”

Following the commander’s order, the archers quickly withdrew to both sides and retreated to the rear of the large army.

The pikemen who were standing behind the archers and waiting in a tight position quickly stepped forward and appeared behind the shieldmen.

When the Xianbei cavalry approached, they all pierced their spears through the gap in their shields and plunged into the body of the Xianbei war horse.

Shield soldiers plus spearmen, which is the most common mixed arms battle formation against cavalry.

Similarly, it is by far the most effective method of infantry against cavalry.

Of course, the heavily armored infantry like the trap camp is currently the only one and cannot be imitated.

Although there was an attack by the pikemen infantry, the Xianbei cavalry was numerous, and finally rushed to kill.

Some of them crossed over the shield soldiers, but were pierced through the belly of the war horse by countless spears.

Booming and falling, smashing and injuring many pikemen and shieldmen of the Longhan Empire.

Some did not have time to jump, and directly collided with the shield soldiers, making a booming sound.

Many of the shieldmen and the pikemen behind them were knocked away, but the cavalry that was charging at them were also broken.

The shieldmen and pikemen in the rear quickly filled their positions, rushed forward, and pierced the cavalrymen’s war horses and their bodies with their spears.

The position of shield soldiers and pikemen is that there is a row of pikemen behind each row of shieldmen, so as to exert maximum lethality.

The fighting was fierce, but neither side had any intention of backing down.

The Youzhou army of the Longhan Empire wanted to intercept Budugen’s army here, and could not let them go north to join the army of Kebineng.

Budugen’s army, on the other hand, is to break through the blockade of the Longhan Empire’s army, merge with Kibi in time, and heal Budugen’s wounds.

“The archers keep shooting!”

The commander of the Youzhou Army looked at the stalemated battlefield and drank in a deep voice.

Suddenly, the archers who had originally withdrawn to the rear of the army reappeared, standing on both sides of the army and shooting arrows into the sky.

Densely packed arrows cut a perfect arc in the air, pouring down towards the Xianbei cavalry in the center.

In order to prevent injuring their companions, the archers’ attacks did not fall in front of the Xianbei cavalry, and all attacked the Xianbei cavalry in the middle.

Although their own shieldmen and pikemen blocked the view ahead, the archers were not very accurate.

But there are many Xianbei cavalry, and there will always be many unlucky ghosts who are shot by arrows.

In this way, the damage of the Xianbei cavalry increased significantly.

The Xianbei general’s face was gloomy, if they couldn’t break through the defense line of the Longhan Empire, they wouldn’t be able to converge with the boss Kebi.

Over time, it may also suffer from the siege of the Longhan Empire.

Now that the Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy losses, but still could not break through the blockade of the Longhan Empire army, the Xianbei general suddenly had a retreat in his heart.

“Withdraw!”

After hesitating for a moment, General Xianbei immediately made a decision, retreated back with his army, and headed for the Yanshan Mountain Range.

Although this road is difficult to follow, because of this, there will be no ambush by the Longhan Empire.

But, is that really the case?
