Sure enough, as Jian expected, by the evening, more Hun cavalry were surrounding him.
They were at least one hundred riders and at most hundreds of riders, divided into ten batches and moved around nearby.
As the Zhijian army was forced to learn the tactics of the general times, using vehicles to protect the two wings, and the infantry walked in the middle to prevent the enemy from rushing directly.
But how to say this kind of tactic is very dependent on the quality of soldiers.
In the past, Ma Long "study" in Luoyang, he finally won 3,500 elite soldiers. He then broke through the siege of the Bald Tree's functional cavalry and successfully rescued Liangzhou. He lost news in the middle, making people think that they were wiped out.
Shao Xun also created a special side van to train tactics early, and chose melee combat and long-range shooting.
The elite silver spear with three battles.
It is really a bit dangerous for ordinary local soldiers to do this, and they may not be able to withstand it. Just ask, can you give the defensive tasks to your robes with confidence and sleep with peace of mind under the constant harassment of the enemy cavalry day and night?
The Tomokashi's tribe had just been out for several miles and had to stop.
A corner of the chariot formation has been opened, and their cavalry temporarily removed armor and horses, replaced them with bows as their main weapons, ready to attack at any time.
But Zhijian was hesitant and did not issue an order for a long time.
The reason is very simple. Raising some cavalry in Shu is not easy and the cost is also very high.
The source of cavalry is easy to find. Although the children of the six counties have become a little degenerate, there are more than 200,000 people. There are always tens of thousands of men of the right age. It is not difficult to pick and choose thousands of people.
If these people are not good, there are also Qiang people grazing in the mountains to the west, and there is no shortage of cavalry talents, but what they lack is qualified war horses.
So far, there are only about 5,000 cavalry in the country, 2,000 in Hanzhong and 1,000 in Jiangzhou, and the remaining 2,000 people are brought over.
When the emperor learned that the Hun cavalry was attacking, the emperor sent a thousand cavalry to help. Now, two hundred have been lost, and eight hundred are left. If he is sent out, I don’t know how many people will be left to come back.
He had just observed that the Hun cavalry surrounding him might have two or three thousand cavalry, and eight hundred people took off their iron armor and rushed up to play riding and shooting with the Huns. Even if one is changed, it would be a big loss.
After thinking about it, after the cavalry commander looked at him several times, Chi Jianwen ordered the cavalry to dismount and walk, leaving no matter what.
Let’s stick to it first. Guanghan County City is more than ten miles south. You can take a breath and then make a decision.
The convoy continued to move forward.
Seeing that the Huns did not attack, they did not need to wait for orders, and surrounded them like wolves.
For a moment, there were waves of horse hooves inside and outside the river valley, hills, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless. This scene almost made people return to the moment when Shao Xun led the Silver Spear Army from Yiyang and advanced into Luoyang.
The same situation and the same tactics were just adjusted. Now Liang Jun used cavalry archers to test whether Li Cheng's infantry could withstand and whether he would be panic.
At the critical moment, Li seemed to have aroused blood. He saw him standing on a ox cart, glaring at the Hun cavalry cruising in the distance.

At this time, Zhijian discovered a headache: throughout the afternoon, the archers shot more than a dozen arrows and dozens of arrows. Even if they didn’t shoot hard, they would lose their physical strength.
He inspected the crowd and found that the most powerful people who ejaculated were sore and weak, and it was difficult to fight again in a short period of time, so he had to rest.
Zhijian was speechless.
If everyone can shoot arrows, they can easily rotate at this time, and always maintain a dense rain of arrows, blocking the haunted enemy cavalry, increasing their casualties, and damaging their rustic spirit, so that they dare not try it easily.
This is often the case. At the beginning, the opponent will be hit hard, so that the opponent will find that he cannot take advantage of it, and the others will not fight hard because it is meaningless. But if you give the other party hope, the Huns will be staring at the face because they see hope to break through the chariot formation.
But where do so many people who can shoot archers come from a day?
In order to deal with grassland cavalry during the Han and Wei dynasties, the infantry of crossbowmen was strengthened, but only about 40% to 50%.
It would be great if the Luoyang Central Army was able to achieve 30% of the previous period.
There are even fewer troops in Shu, and 20% is considered a lot.
Overuse of the archer is just a trouble. Now Zhijian is more worried that someone will come to harass him at night, so whether these local soldiers with less experience in battle formations will be noisy and unable to sleep.
Zhijian was worried, and Wanqike was in a hidden valley, summarizing the battle process of the day with the soldiers.
"Prince, I found that the enemy archer only had one bow, and he was probably not good at fighting. Once he approached, he would kill him.
Most of them flee in scattered places." Someone said.
"Oh? It's true?" Wan Yike was very happy.
He heard from his father that the archer who rushed over to kill Emperor Shao suffered a great loss. Those people directly pulled out the ring-headed sword to fight with you, and their skills were very superb.
Later, when I found out, there were 6,000 people in the Silver Spear Army, equipped with bows and guns and "ten" and "nine points" of swords. The reason why there were a few points missing was that there were crossbowmen, civil servants, grooms, doctors and other mixed people.
In front of such a unit, you still have to dismount and fight in close combat. How can you lose your life?
But there are many crossbowmen in this world who are "not familiar with swords and guns". When they encounter melee battles, they can only be "stopped and killed" one by one. "The crossbowmen do not learn guns and swords. Although each brings a sword, they are not taught by Yuan Dynasty." Although this sentence is about the Northern Song Dynasty, it is actually very common. For example, under the legacy of the palace soldiers, the troops who require close combat, and long-range shooting are exceptions.
"Really, the commander." Someone said again: "I took people off the horse in the daytime and tried it. Those fangmen archers had short soldiers, but I think their ability to fight might not be as good as me. This is not the Silver Spear Army, the Black Army, there is a need to fight."
Wanqike was overjoyed when he heard this.
After fighting for so many years, I have encountered troops with pitifully few crossbowmen and weak in close combat.
Actually, this is right.
Who brought up the "bad habits" of infantry that both need to be close and long-range shooting in the north? It made their cavalry very uncomfortable and were controlled everywhere.
"I'll take someone to try it out in the evening." Wan Houke slapped his thigh, stood up from the ground, and said, "You can choose some heroes who have good eyes and can still fight, and follow me to fight."
"As for your order." Everyone replied in unison.
"Prince Huan is coming-" Wanqike shook his head and said, "Feilongshan Town Army soldiers are coming, Pingyang, Xiheqiao, Wang, Liu, Xia, Lan and other tribes have all come here, and even Shiloushan Hu are coming. I heard that Governor Duan is coming."
"Right-Knight Guard?" Someone said in surprise: "Didn't they go to Dianjiang?"
Wanhou Ke looked at him and sighed, "How can Dianjiang compare to Li Xiong? When he heard that he was coming, Duan Liang directly led his army northward. Kill Li Xiong, and Shuzhong was settled."
Everyone felt a sense of urgency.
Their family knows their own affairs, so they may not be weak, but they are still much worse than the cavalry "guards" like the left and right cavalry guards. Because most of the soldiers from the palace come from the guards, they also called the soldiers in the Daliang Dynasty "guards".
The guard eats better than you, practices more than you, has excellent equipment than you, and is better than you, and has more battles than you, how can you compare?
When these people come, they can't catch up with the heat even if they eat shit.
"The people are divided into two groups." Wanhouke thought for a while and said, "The attack in the first half of the night made him sleep uneasy and his physical strength was greatly damaged. The horses and stairs were dismounted in the second half of the night, and he would try to rush. If not, forget it, wait until the people of Captain Huan come over."
"Prince, do you want to go and rush to Li Xiong?" someone asked, "They are ten miles north of the country."
"Try it first and become a thief's front army, find out the depth and then siege Li Xiong. This time, you must not let him run away." Fang Houke shook his head and insisted on his own opinion.
