The unusual movements of Ma Chao's troops and horses naturally attracted the attention of the sharp-eyed Huang Xu, who immediately pointed it out to Fei Qian.

"As expected..." Pang Tong on the side also noticed it, so he smiled, pointed with his hand and said, "This Ma family is still unwilling to give up... I can't believe it when I attack the formation."

Aren’t we all a military formation formed by civilians?”

"The Xiliang cavalry are good at throwing spears and can break through the chaos. If they are unprepared, it might be possible..." Fei Qian also said with a smile, "But... Gongming! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Xu Huang responded loudly and took the order, then moved forward.

…………………………

"Get ready to throw your spear!"

While Ma Chao shouted loudly, he reached out and pulled out the throwing spear from the leather belt behind the horse. The soldiers behind him also took out the throwing spear from the leather belt and held it in their hands.

Throwing spears are inserted into the leather belt and hung on both sides of the horse's body. There are usually four to six spears. It has always been Ma Chao's best weapon to destroy the formation.

In fact, the cavalry does not have an absolute advantage when attacking the densely defended infantry formation. If the infantry formation is very complete and rigorous, even heavily armored cavalry will not dare to collide head-on with the hedgehog-like spear formation.

But if the infantry formation is scattered, then it is the opportunity for the cavalry...

Therefore, the only way for Ma Chao and his cavalry to break through or even defeat Fei Qian's Chinese infantry formation was to first use long-range weapons to destroy the formation, and then mount their horses to attack and kill.

The long-range weapons are nothing more than bows and arrows, and Xiliang's characteristic throwing spears...

Horse hooves rumble.

The distance between the two armies has reached two hundred steps!

One hundred and fifty steps!

One hundred steps and twenty steps!

One hundred steps!

Ma Chao stood up on his horse and was about to shout loudly to order his men to throw their spears to break the formation, when he heard a shout from the opposite formation!

"Start! Strong wind!"

In the array, behind the row of shields, a row of crossbowmen suddenly stood up!

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time, a large number of strong crossbows slammed down the hanging knives, and the sound of the bowstrings collapsing converged into a huge sound that resounded through the sky, making Ma Chao's hair stand on end in shock!

"Arbalest!"

Ma Chao only had time to let out such a shrill howl, then he subconsciously threw the spear aside and tightened the horse's reins with all his strength. The horse suddenly felt pain, raised its front hooves high, and stood upright!

"Buzz!"

The powerful and sharp crossbow bolts roar towards you!

The soldier who was half leaning back on the horse and preparing to throw the spear was completely unprepared and immediately suffered the heaviest blow!

"fall!"

"rise!"

"Gale!"

The crossbowmen fired methodically, and the charging Ma Chao cavalry troops were like seedlings in autumn, being harvested piece by piece by the sickle of death.

The crossbow bolt roars!
