The camp surrounded by trenches, countless antlers are clustered outside the rammed earth camp, the arrow towers like forests, and the wide camp now appear countless thick smoke. In the firelight, the official army's flags are full of holes, and countless fire arrows fly from the north and fall into the camp like meteors.

After a distance of more than five hundred steps, how could Zhou Jun’s big crossbow be so powerful!!

Feng Xuan looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to have returned to the night half a month ago. Under the night sky, the camp in the south of Zhenyang City was filled with flames.

"Erlangjun! Zhou Bing! It was their cavalry who rushed over!!"

"Array! The spearman is outside, the crossbowman is inside!"

The dust was flying, and a group of cavalry appeared in the north of Feng Xuan's position. As Feng Xuan's grandmother Lady Xian expected before the war, the purpose of the Zhou army's attack today was to surround the points and attack the Chen army's camps was fake, and the Lijiao soldiers who attacked the Chen army were real.

After experiencing the initial panic, the marching team quickly collapsed into a ball. The spearmen turned into humans and resisted horses while the crossbowmen hid behind these humans and resisted horses, bent their bows and arrows to prepare to welcome the upcoming cavalry attack.

There are shortages of horses in Lingnan. Even if there are local horses, those are all scattered. The war horses that the Lijia soldiers had seen before were mounts brought by the official cavalry from Jiankang. Perhaps it was mixed with blood relationship between the Central Plains horses. These horses were much taller than the local horses in Lingnan.

Now, the mounts of the Zhou army's cavalry can be seen from a distance that are taller than those of the official army. Even people and horses are probably weighing hundreds of kilograms. With such weight and the degree of charge, the consequences of hitting into the crowd will be as bloody as long as you are not a fool.

It was the first time Feng Xuan saw such a mighty cavalry. Although it looked like there were about a hundred cavalry, the oppression it caused to him was more than hundreds of infantry. If he had not prepared in advance, he would have no confidence to use infantry to fight against cavalry in the field.

"Don't panic! Don't be afraid! They will rush towards us on purpose, and turn their horses to the side at a distance of more than seventy steps, which is to trick us into shooting arrows!"

"All crossbowmen are careful! Without orders, even if they rush in front of them, they are not allowed to shoot arrows!!!"

Looking at the official army camp with thick smoke not far away, Feng Xuan tried his best to show a calm attitude to command the command to welcome the enemy. Since he came, he was ready to fight alone. Whether he could win this time depends entirely on how he tried.

The official army would not come out to respond, and there was no reinforcements behind them. The Feng family army led by Feng Xuan was all the elite troops of the Feng family. If you want to fight the Zhou army, which had been waiting for a long time, the other side not only had cavalry, but also infantry.

Sure enough, the Zhou cavalry saw Feng Xuan's troops shrinking into a ball like hedgehogs. They did not rush up to take a bite, but scattered and sprinted towards them from different directions. They kept screaming, like hungry wolves about to pounce on the flock of sheep.

Seeing that it was approaching nearly seventy steps, which was the effective range of the arch, Zhou Qi suddenly dispersed to both sides. This was an obvious false action, and the infantry who was waiting for the troops to shoot arrows.

But Feng Xuan had an order before, but the commanders of the troops ordered that the crossbowmen could not shoot arrows, so even though many people were almost scared to loosen their strings, they finally held back.

Of course, there are some basic qualities that can be used as the elite organization of the Feng family - following orders - but it is almost the first time that everyone faces such a mighty cavalry. If they don’t have the backbone, they will be at a loss.

The cavalry of Zhou army was not allowed to trick arrows, and another common tactic was used: cavalry and shooting harassment. After being divided into several squads, the Feng family army formed a formation kept circled around the radius of the circle. The radius of the circle was seventy steps away, and the cavalry kept shooting feather arrows into the formation.

The effective range of the cavalry bow is usually around fifty steps, but this does not mean that the arrows shot at this distance have no lethality. Besides, the Zhou cavalry used the method of shooting the Feng family army to form a formation, and the original intention was to harass it.

This kind of shooting does not require aiming, because shooting arrows into the crowd does not require accurate heads. The crossbowmen of the Feng family army is extremely difficult to shoot the moving enemy cavalry.

If he missed the seventeenth, it would be useless to shoot the remaining three arrows, because the Zhou cavalry was covered in iron armor, and the feather arrows were inserted without any pain. Seeing that the casualties of his weak protection were increasing when the attack occurred, Feng Xuan began to feel anxious.

It is indeed not that easy to fight if you use steps to control your riding!

Although he was at a slight disadvantage, Feng Xuan knew that as long as his army was not in chaos, the enemy cavalry would have no good way to defeat them. After all, the war horses kept running around like this, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and they were just using shields to block arrows on the spot.

So, your infantry should come here too!

Feng Xuan thought so, and the battle situation was also unfolding. The purpose of the Zhou cavalry was to make the Feng family army unable to move, and the infantry, who was responsible for knocking on the hedgehog formation of Feng family army, quickly leaned forward.

The soldiers were all wearing iron armor, and the outrageous spear in their hands was raised to the sky. The Zhou army, who appeared in Feng Xuan's sight, was like a moving forest, and its momentum reminded him of a sentence in the art of war: Xu Rulin.

More than a thousand Zhou infantrymen lined up to approach the Feng family army. The flying tiger-head flag showed the difference between this army and other Zhou troops. Feng Xuan couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at the army.

"Erlangjun!"

A subordinate of the army called out softly, and now that things have come to this point, anyone knows that the situation is not good. The cavalry of the Zhou army was harassing the periphery, and now another amazing stair formation is approaching. If you don’t take any measures to deal with it, you will be finished.

Feng Xuan looked at the Zhou cavalry wandering outside. The so-called siege of the other party seemed to be full of loopholes, but he knew that once his side disintegrated, everyone would not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry in the end, and stayed here to hold on. After a while, the spear formation was pressed up, it would be a bit of a disaster.

Thinking of this, he looked at the official army camp again with thick smoke in the distance, and there was no sign of the defenders coming out to rescue.

Are we going to be finished?

hehe.

The Zhou army broke through Zhenyang and now rushed out of the Qinshui Canyon, headed south along the Qinshui River, confronting Chen Jun and Li Liao soldiers who were coming to reinforce. The other party was unstoppable and could not move quietly for nearly half a month after camping, watching Chen Jun and Li Liao soldiers as supportive forces, camping and setting up camps on both sides of the east and west.

Under the command of Lady Xian, the Liliao soldiers camped on the east and west sides of the Qingshui River. Wang Meng, the chief general of the Chen State, assembled all the government troops that could be mobilized in Guangzhou, and went out to the north of Fanyu, step by step to advance to the camp and set up camp on the east side of the Liliao soldiers camp.

Zhou Jun stood by and watched the whole process, letting such a situation form, what were they thinking?

After confronting each other for so long, the Zhou army did not send troops on a large scale. This morning, it suddenly attacked the Chenjun camp and forced the west camp to send reinforcements to rescue them, and then defeated the reinforcements in the middle. Therefore, the Zhou army wanted to use the Chenjun camp in the east as bait and transfer the troops from the Xizhai to come out to annihilate them.

Destroy the reinforcements, then defeat the Chen army camp, remove the spikes from the east, and then surround the west camp!

Feng Xuan looked around and saw the people he saw were all good friends of the Feng family, and these people were with him today as bait.

You want to fish, and we want to fish too!

Taking a deep breath, Feng Xuan said, "Send the order and retreat!"
Chapter completed!
