Soon, as the archers retreated, 50,000 shield-armored infantry appeared on the front line of the battlefield. Facing the overwhelming barrage of arrows, they all raised their shields and slowly advanced, bracing themselves against the arrows.
As long as you withstand the arrows and charge straight at the enemy, you can engage in close combat!
At this point, bows and arrows become useless, allowing the main army behind to launch a coordinated attack!
Behind the Northern Hu army, a Northern Hu soldier reported the battle situation at the front to Cha Yuanzhen.
"Your Majesty! The arrows fired by the archers on the other side are shooting too far, it's simply..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cha Yuanzhen interrupted him with a cold shout: "I know! Get to the point! What are the battle losses?"
The Hu soldier immediately said, "It seems that several thousand... no, even tens of thousands have already died in battle. Fortunately, the retreat was timely. If it had been any later, I'm afraid even more people would have died."
"Fortunately, the shield-bearers have already held off the arrows and gone to fight them!"
Cha Yuanzhen nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed, watching the battle unfold before him without blinking.
In his field of vision, his proud 50,000 shield-bearing soldiers were gradually approaching Qin Ze's troops. This made Cha Yuanzhen realize that their archers would soon become useless and they would have to fight in close combat!
His 50,000 shield-bearing soldiers were all strong and burly Northern Hu warriors, and only they could lift these extremely heavy shields and advance!
He was very confident that Qin Ze's troops would be no match for him in close combat!
This iron army is unstoppable!
He stroked his beard and turned to Tu Shadong beside him, saying, "Strategist, what do you think of my shield-bearing soldiers? I'm sure you've never seen them before on this grassland."
Tu Shadong nodded and said, "With such troops, we naturally have nothing to fear!"
At this point, he sighed inwardly. If his tribe had had such shield-armored soldiers back then, they wouldn't have been annihilated by Qin Ze.
Thinking of this, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Qin Ze, today is the day you have to pay your dues!
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out.
"Your Majesty, look! They've withdrawn their archers too!"
Cha Yuanzhen stared intently and indeed saw that the archers on the opposite side had retreated to both sides, creating a wide area in the middle, as if they were making way for the troops behind them.
The next moment, Cha Yuanzhen's eyes widened in shock!
At the front of the battlefield, a cavalry force clad in armor charged out!
Clad in black armor, the cavalry, like a black torrent, charged into the shield-bearing infantry like a tidal wave, lances in hand...
