The scorching sun hangs high, and the poisonous sunlight shines on the body, causing a faint pain.

A sudden sound of hoof sounds sounded. It was Zhou Yang, Dou Ying, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Feng Jing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian and others who, under the leadership of Zhou Yang, rode up the hill.

In addition to armored Han Jian bow and arrow, Zhou Yang also has a fiery red cloak. This is a prop that he has to use after being promoted to "Master Zhou". Otherwise, who would know that you are the Master?

Although he was in the twentieth year and was also the commander who commanded nearly 200,000 troops, Li Guang and the others had called him "Master Zhou". Zhou Yang did not feel very honored about this title, but instead thought that it would be easier if he didn't have this title. It felt very good to be a commander, with all the mighty and banned. However, this was too much pressure, especially when facing the angered and angry Shanyu, the pressure was even greater.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Yang has become a man after only five days of command of the army, calm and mature. These things that are not commensurate with their age have appeared on him. This is caused by pressure.

Standing on the hills and looking around, there is a plain under the hills, with a forest not far away, which is dozens of miles in circles.

"Master General, what about the army? Why don't there be a single person?" Li Guang's mouth was as fast as the arrow he shot, and he couldn't help asking questions.

This is exactly what Cheng Buzhi and the others wanted to ask. Zhou Yang Mingming ordered them to come to watch the soldiers. When he arrived at the ground, he saw no one. How could it not be strange?

Zhou Yang did not answer, waved his right hand and passed the order.

"Dongdong!"

The sound of thunderous drums sounded, and hundreds of war drums came out behind him. The drums spread from afar and could be heard dozens of miles away.

The drums lasted for a cup of tea before they stopped.

Although the drums stopped, there was still no one. Li Guang and Cheng didn't know that they were building a shed, looking around, but they found nothing, with a look of surprise.

"Where is the army? Where is the army??" Li Guang kept muttering.

"Flying General, don't be impatient!" Zhou Yang comforted him.

"Master, how can you be so worried about it?" Li Guang murmured and then shut up.

"Here you come!" Zhou Yang pointed forward.

Li Guang, Cheng Bu Zhi, looked in the direction of Zhou Yang's finger, and saw a huge fire cloud floating over. Li Guang and the others were too familiar with this situation, and they knew at a glance that the Han army was moving forward.

“There are still there!”

Cheng Buzhi had good eyesight and pointed to the north. Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers and saw another huge fire cloud, which was a team of Han troops moving forward.

Han troops were advancing in the four directions of east, west, south, north and north, and the sound of thunderous hooves made the earth tremble.

Not to mention anything else, just listening to this sound, you can tell that the cavalry is running. A rough calculation shows that there are only tens of thousands of cavalry. A few days ago, the Han army had only a few thousand cavalry, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry at once. This was too exaggerated. Li Guang was the first to shout: "Master General, why have you trained so many cavalry? There are tens of thousands of cavalry!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Everyone was busy agreeing.

"It's not a cavalry, it's just that they can ride horses." Zhou Yang explained.

"What a pity!" Li Guang and his friends were only able to ride horses, not to shoot arrows, not to cut and kill, and were not real cavalry. Li Guang and his friends were hit hard.

While he was talking, the Han army advanced a lot and could see clearly. Dou Ying widened his eyes in disbelief: "Let the infantry ride horses? The crossbowmen ride horses? Where is the crossbow? The crossbow is removed?"

The difference between infantry and cavalry is very obvious, and you can see it at a glance. The infantry coming at this time had one more war horse than usual. Although the riding skills were not very good, they would not fall off.

It is not that there have been no infantry riding horses in the history of the Han Dynasty, but that there are very few infantry riding horses. Not to mention, there are still so many infantry riding horses, so it is impossible not to be surprised by Dou Ying.

What surprised him even more was that the crossbow was dismantled by the Han army and placed it on the back of a horse.

Dou Ying could have returned to Chang'an a long time ago, but Zhou Yang's military order was so amazing. He wanted to get a glimpse of the truth, so he stayed there. Unexpectedly, the more he looked, the more he became confused, and he couldn't help touching his forehead.

"Call them to dismount!"

Zhou Yang passed down the general order and waved the flag.

The Han army, who was advancing, stopped, flew off the horse, and the infantry formed a line. The crossbowmen took off the crossbows on the horse's back and lined up in an orderly manner.

The Han army formed a formation very quickly, and it was arranged in a short while. These were tens of thousands of Han army, with a large number of people. It was very rare to be able to form a formation in such a short time. Li Guang and the others were surprised that Zhou Yang was very good at governing the army.

Zhou Yang waved his right hand and ordered the flag to spread, and the Han army began to advance again. This time, except for the cavalry, infantry and crossbowmen's war horses remained in place, and Han soldiers were taken care of. Infantry and crossbowmen advanced on foot and stopped by the woods.

"Design the formation!"

Zhou Yang sent another order to move the flag.

The crossbow soldiers formed a group of several people and began to assemble the crossbow. They cooperated well and were proficient in their skills. It was obvious that they had disassembled and assembled the crossbow many times. Not long after, crossbows appeared.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Han crossbow also inherited the characteristics of the Qin crossbow. The biggest advantage of Qin crossbow is not its long range, strong strength, and amazing lethality. Instead, Qin crossbows are all produced "standardized" and the components of Qin crossbows can be interchanged. On the battlefield, if a crossbow's crossbow is broken, the crossbow of another crossbow can be disassembled and assembled.

Another feature is that Qin crossbows are very convenient to disassemble. There are a large number of horses in the Qin army, which can be convenient to transport. This greatly strengthens the mobility of the Qin army and is known for its speed.

Han Crossbow inherited these advantages, disassembled and assembled very easily.

From the horizontal plan, each ten crossbows are in one group, leaving a certain space between groups, and two rows of infantry stand inside. Their responsibility is to protect the crossbows and prevent the enemy from attacking in close proximity.

Crossbows are long-range killing weapons. Once the enemy attacks near, they will not be able to exert their power and only give them a massacre. Therefore, using infantry cover is essential. There are two teams of infantry between each group. Whether the enemy comes from the front or from the back, they can quickly face the enemy.

From a vertical perspective, there are four rows in total. The first row is the most powerful yellow crossbow with a range of up to 400 meters. The second row is the Biao Zhang crossbow with a range of up to 300 meters. The third row is the thin crossbow with a range of up to about 200 meters. The fourth row is the Jiao crossbow with a range of up to about 150 meters. Behind the Jiao crossbow is the archer.

Behind the archers, there was a row of infantry serving as escorts.

Looking from the hills, I can see that these are thousands of crossbows forming a giant crossbow formation. The two wings of the crossbow formation have a team of cavalry guards. If the enemy wants to encircle the crossbow formation from left to right, they will be hit by the cavalry head-on.

Behind the crossbow formation, there are three teams of cavalry, divided into left, center and right arrays. These three teams of cavalry are the most elite Jianzhang Army. They are like dragons, horses like tigers, and their momentum is like rainbows. This is the general reserve team, and they will pounce wherever they need it.

Looking at the crossbow formation covering an area of ​​several miles, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Dou Ying, Feng Jing, and their mouths were wide open. Such a huge crossbow formation had not been used in the Han Dynasty. This was the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty.

A brand new tactic has emerged!

Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Dou Ying, Feng Jing and others were so excited that they were shining with a hot light in their eyes, their hands clenched into fists, and their bodies trembled slightly!
Chapter completed!
