Some arrows fell during the mid-air entanglement, but most of them still hit the enemy formation.

Ahh!

Screams rose and fell, and holes appeared one after another in Zou Dan's and Shan Jing's two thousand-man formations.

The enemy's dense arrows pierced through their infantry's shields and mercilessly struck these poor soldiers.

"How could their arrows be so sharp!"

Zou Dan and Shan Jing both complained repeatedly.

Judging from the fact that the enemy's arrows pierced through the shields, if their soldiers' arrows had a 1-stone length, then the enemy's arrows had at least a 2-stone length!

Moreover, the fact that these arrows could generate such great power after traveling more than 150 paces through the air indicates that the enemy soldiers were far superior in quality to their own men.

It should be noted that their soldiers were mainly composed of refugees from Youzhou, and they had only undergone one or two months of training.

They'd be lucky if they could even draw their bows but not shoot an arrow.

It was obvious that their four thousand soldiers were cannon fodder, meant to draw fire for the two thousand White Horse Cavalry!

On Zhang Liao's side, all two thousand cavalrymen were equipped with green-quality gear, giving them a significant advantage in equipment.

The enemy's arrows struck the infantry armor worn by the cavalrymen, making a crisp clanging sound.

It only produces a powerful impact, causing the soldiers to be shaken.

Trying to shoot through armor is like a blind man lighting a lamp – utterly futile!

Because they were far apart, Zou Dan and Shan Jing could not see each other fall.

On their side, the first volley of arrows killed more than two hundred people.

"Quickly inform the lord that the enemy's arrows are too fierce. If we continue to advance slowly and exchange fire like this, we will suffer heavy losses!"

The two were puzzled. The enemy was all cavalry, so they should have launched the first charge. Why were they being used as archers and engaging in ranged firefights with them?

As soon as the two sides made contact, Gongsun Zan saw the strengths and weaknesses of each other.

The enemy's overall combat strength was significantly higher than that of his infantry.

However, if the White Horse Cavalry were to be deployed into battle now, it would result in heavy losses on both sides, and Gongsun Zan would never make such a losing proposition.

"Give orders to Shan Jing and Zou Dan to wear down the enemy at all costs and prevent their cavalry from moving."

"I will have Yan Gang make his move when the opportunity arises!"

Gongsun Zan, expressionless, gave orders to the scouts beside him.

The scouts galloped off and chased away the messengers sent by Zou Dan and Shan Jing to seek help from Gongsun Zan.

At this moment, Yan Gang's eyes also flashed with intense killing intent, eager to try his luck.

In his view, the enemy cavalry might be better equipped, but they would be no match for the swift and unstoppable White Horse Cavalry.

Unfortunately, the enemy's warhorses were all yellow and black, with no white horses among them.

They'll probably have a headache trying to find replacements for White Horse after this war.

The messengers of Shan Jing and Zou Dan were persuaded to return and learned of Gongsun Zan's order. They immediately gritted their teeth and ordered the front-line soldiers to raise their shields and the rear-line soldiers to fire.

The two armies formed a wedge formation and surrounded Zhang Liao's cavalry.

The opponent's accuracy and power are significantly reduced when shooting while in motion, making it a perfect opportunity to charge.

"All bows drawn, guns drawn, charge with me!"

Zhang Liao raised his battle axe and rode his horse to the front of the cavalry.

Just as Liu Wei joined forces with Liu Yu in Fanyang City, he upgraded the equipment of all his generals above the rank of captain.

Each person carried a set of bright armor, a Ferghana horse, and a horizontal sword.

As for their main weapons, they each used their own according to their own habits.

Zhang Liao had already changed into new equipment on his way to the plains with Liu Wei.

After all, while these generals were strategizing and planning, they also wanted to go into battle and lead the charge!

This is their chance to demonstrate their strength and make a name for themselves in the world.

A skilled warrior may not have many glorious achievements, but if he goes into battle and personally beheads the enemy's commander, his fame will soar.

Moreover, in this battle, Liu Wei handed over the initiative to Zhang Liao, allowing him to fully utilize his abilities.

If we interfere too much, we may not be able to maintain our power and freedom in the future!

Therefore, Liu Wei granted these famous generals who were recruited and surrendered maximum autonomy within a certain range.

At this moment, at Zhang Liao's command, the two thousand Beiwei soldiers, who had remained unscathed amidst the exchange of arrows with the enemy, began to spur their warhorses and launch a charge.

Mounted archery is a ranged attack capability and method.

But after a high-speed charge, the powerful impact and the imposing presence of the tall, strong men instilled fear in the infantry to the bone.

Those brothers who often stood in the front row and were killed by cavalry charges know that when you face countless cavalrymen who are twice your height and traveling at speeds of over 60 kilometers per hour, charging towards you, the feeling of suffocation is unforgettable.

If I'm lucky enough to survive, I'll swear I'll never stand in the front row again.

But the rewards for standing in the front row are also enormous.

They have the best armor and equipment, and those who survive will receive the most generous rewards.

It depends on your preferences and choices!

However, once on the battlefield, everyone becomes just a cold, hard number.

When the two thousand warhorses started up and charged forward, the thunderous sound of their hooves shook the ground!

The two thousand Beiwei Army made their debut outside the city of Guluo in Shangjun, where they annihilated five thousand Xiongnu cavalry under the general Xupu Fangniu with overwhelming force, staining the Loess Plateau with blood.

Now, facing an enemy three times their size, they charged forward without hesitation, tearing the enemy apart with their iron hooves and weapons.

"Halt! Raise two layers of shields, insert spears upside down, and defend as a whole!"
