Chapter 908: This is how you train normally?

Xie Yuan stood behind the formation on a horse, looked at the enemy who was coming in the opposite direction, and ordered preparations.

The war drums and thunder behind him resounded throughout the camp.

At the front was a huge thorn shield, all equipped with powerful people. When they heard the sound of drums, they all held their shoulders and squatted in front.

A gust of wind and snow swept over, and the huge shield blocked the wind and snow. The archers behind the shield took their place one after another. Relying on the shield's cover, they knelt on the ground with one leg, pulled the arrow and stood with their hands hanging down, ready to lift up and shoot at all times.

The cavalry on the opposite side rushed over, and they rode on horseback, running while pulling their longbows along the wind, and arrows shot up sparsely with the strong wind.

Some arrows poked on the shield "dongdong", some passed the shield and fell behind, hitting people, and fell to the ground in an instant. Some people were shot, but were blocked by cotton coats and scales.

The range of arrows with the wind is much further than theirs. Fortunately, the opponent does not have many bows and arrows, and the accuracy is not very good.

Even if they had time, this wave of arrow attacks did not cause much casualties to Xie Yuan.

In addition to the small number of shots, they were more swept by the wind, floating and scattered on the land in front of them at different distances.

Xie Yuan kept watching the battle situation. Seeing the other party performing like this, he suddenly felt more confident in his heart and said:

"They are too anxious. There are few grasslands and the number of arrows is limited. It's still so wasteful. It's a waste of time."

Shi Yuhengjia stood beside her, looked at Xie Yuan and said:

"The wind direction has a great impact. Even if it is a good wind, it is not much more beneficial than a headwind. Don't underestimate the enemy."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he looked calm and said nothing, but just looked ahead with concentration.

At this time, an archer behind the shield soldier stood up suddenly in the sparse rain of arrows. His posture was brave and fearless, and he pulled the bow all over. The tip of the arrow pointed directly to the opposite side, loosened the string and shot out.

He moved very quickly, and when he stood up, he loosened his bowstrings. He seemed to have not aimed. The arrow flew out and immediately squatted down and hid behind the shield.

As soon as he squatted down, the arrows of the two enemies fell on the shield above his head in two "bangdong".

Shi Yuhengjia saw that their shield soldiers and archers had a very tacit understanding, and his eyes lit up for a moment.

But there was only one person who suddenly pulled his bow and shot arrows, and the arrow landed in front of the enemy, and the range was not enough.

Not only the squirming man opposite felt strange, Shi Yuhengjia also felt strange, but turned to look at Xie Yuan's expression and saw that her expression was normal, she was not surprised at all, so she asked:

"What did that mean just now? Didn't the person who suddenly shot an arrow without authorization in violation of orders?"

Xie Yuan pursed his firm lips and looked at the arrows falling to the ground in the distance. He seemed a little nervous and didn't even bother to talk to Shi Yuhengjia.

But soon, his doubts were resolved.

Because when the wriggling horse hooves passed the landing arrow, the commander of the sergeant, all the shields of the shields dodged the gap in the middle.

The archers who had been standing still with their bows raised their arms in an instant, and pulled the bow and loosen the strings through the gaps in the shield.

The dense "swoosh" sounded, and they flew out neatly through the wind and snow.

Suddenly, the cavalry running opposite him fell to the ground by arrows.

Shi Yuhengjia then realized that the archer who fired the arrow first just now did not make a mistake or wasted the arrow without authorization.

But his task is to measure how far the specific range is in such extreme weather.

This is more accurate than ordering arrows to be fired according to Shangguan's experience and is wasted fewer arrows.

This method can be used by any experienced veteran. It is not uncommon.

What's strange is that when they did this, no one ordered or commanded it, as if everyone's soldiers had become accustomed to it, calmly and silently, and treated it as a rule, and did it tacitly.

Shi Yuhengjia looked at Xie Yuan in surprise and couldn't help asking:

"This is how you usually train? Have you practiced on strong winds and snowy days?"

Xie Yuan looked ahead and said lightly:

"I like to train on sunny days and evaluate in extreme weather."

Shi Yuhengjia looked at Xie Yuan's side face and couldn't help but feel a sudden jump.

The leader of the wormer saw that the people in front fell from the horse's back. Even though the opposite side was against the wind, the power of the arrow was still so great. He was shocked and quickly ordered:

"Side attack!"

The galloping cavalry obeyed the orders and quickly separated from the middle, avoiding the archers in front of the formation and heading to the side.

But who knew that wherever their horses ran, the bows and arrows shot, not just in front, but also on the side.

As they approached, the rest of the archers seemed to be awakened, with the same reaction and the same uniform operation again.

The squirming people who entered the palace faced the layers of black shields in the wind and snow. Looking at their calm and rhythmic coldness, they suddenly felt a sense of fear that they were not facing a group of living people.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The leader of the roarman ordered and turned around and ran away.

The wind and snow seemed to be getting bigger again, blowing against people's eyes. Xie Yuan's eyes were already red and painful because he was blown. Only by squinting his eyes could he see the distance.

But wherever I see, I can only see the remaining squirming and squirting, disappearing into the wind and snow, and I can't see if anyone behind them is robbing their way.

She didn't know if these people were to run away or not. She originally thought that if they attacked the formation, they could get a few more prisoners, get some news, and give a message to the nephew of King Rouran...

If the cavalry on both wings did not arrive and could not capture the prisoners of high level, then she would have to send someone to overturn the dead to see if she could save one or two.

When Shi Yuhengjia saw Xie Yuan's expression unhappy, he asked:

"What's wrong? Why are you unhappy if you win?"

Xie Yuan was in a bad mood and gave him a blank look without saying a word. He said to the messenger behind him:

"The scouts left the line, and within a radius of thirty miles, they ordered the backpackers to quickly clean the battlefield, see if there were any living beings, and picked them up and asked questions. The rest of them took a break and waited for orders."

"Yes." The messenger rode his horse.

Xie Yuan turned his horse's head and walked towards his tent.

Shi Yuhengjia followed her, looked at Xie Yuan's side face, and smiled.

He had never seen Xie Yuan's military training before, but now he has seen the climate of the Central Camp with his own eyes. He was very surprised and said:

"To be honest, I never thought that using infantry to fight cavalry on the grassland could be the same style of fighting. It was like a man-made fortress, suppressing the advantages of cavalry. Unfortunately, they came to test and retreat too quickly... I also wanted to see what would happen if the fight came back."
