This group of archers was very elite and brave.
Eighty steps was also very close.
After three rounds of volleys, the two sides were only four to five steps apart.
Li Zhiyun saw clearly that all the archers threw away their bows and arrows in unison and swiftly drew their swords.
The formation that resembled a sharp arrow tip was like a wedge, stabbing into the empty space formed by the rain of arrows in front of the spearmen.
The arrows were not afraid of the spears, and they charged forward without fear of death. At the same time, the two sides of the triangular formation spread out slightly, moving to the two sides of the empty space and attacking the spearmen formation from the side.
Li Zhiyun noticed that although his soldiers were trying their best to follow the short training requirements, they kept stabbing.
However, under the attacks of these two thousand archers, the formation on both sides of the void began to collapse.
The spearmen, who were strong in numbers, were actually being suppressed and kept retreating.
The formation was about to fall into chaos.
Behind the triangular formation formed by the archers, more infantrymen swarmed over.
Although the enemy had already run out of formation, they instinctively rushed towards the gap opened by the archers.
As more soldiers arrived, the gap became bigger and bigger, and the speed of collapse became faster and faster.
Elite!
Their reaction speed, bravery, and ability to catch opportunities were all captured by the 2,000 archers without any command.
This was the elite that Li Zhiyun wanted!
And now, this elite force was in the hands of Li Xiu Ning.
Li Xiu Ning had hidden this elite force. The moment she attacked, it was like a sharp steel knife that directly pierced Li Zhiyun's vital points.
Once the pikemen were defeated, the scattered soldiers would fall back.
The scene of him dealing with Sun Hua back then would come true for him.
Li Xiu Ning didn't need to do anything. As long as the infantrymen chased after the defeated soldiers, she would be able to defeat him completely!
"Third Young Lady's moves are extraordinary, the victory is already set.”Tang Jian laughed heartily as he watched the gap in the spearmen formation grow larger and larger, and Li Zhiyun had no way to deal with it.
Li Xiu Ning smiled and said cautiously,""Before the battlefield is cleaned up, everything is unknown.”
However, the look of victory on Li Xiu Ning's face had already betrayed her true thoughts.
2,000 elites were killed at the sight of blood!
This was how it was when experts fought!
Li Xiu Ning looked into the distance. She wanted to find Li Zhiyun's traces and see if he regretted his decision.
"Uncle Tang, our commander's tent should be up by now.”Li Xiu Ning suggested with a smile.
" That's exactly what I was thinking, haha…" Tang Jian laughed heartily. The gloominess in his heart from the defeat of Sun Hua's troops instantly disappeared.
On the city wall of Yu County.
Zhangsun Wugou's face was pale. He pursed his lips and looked into the distance.
The sky was already dark, and she could only look into the distance with the weak light. In addition, the distance was far, so she could only see vaguely.
However, this was enough. Zhangsun Wugou could tell from the direction that Li Zhiyun's army was being routed.
A hint of pity flashed in Zhangsun Wugou's eyes.
Tang Jian and Li Xiuning were moving forward to the commander's tent in high spirits.
The commander's tent moved forward, and the follow-up offensive infantry also began to charge forward.
Tang Jian pointed at Li Zhiyun's cavalry and said with a frown,""Third Miss, do you need to leave some soldiers to guard against Fifth Young Master's cavalry?”
"No need. I'm afraid that they won't attack us and reveal a flaw.”As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiu Ning suddenly waved the whip in her hand.
Tang Jian looked at it and could not help but sigh in his heart.
Just as Tang Jian and Li Xiuning were discussing Li Zhiyun's cavalry…
Wan Xuandao looked at the situation of the spearmen formation and was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. The warhorse he was riding seemed to have sensed his anxiety.
Its front hooves dug the ground restlessly.
A horse galloped over from the direction of the formation.
As the cavalry approached, Wan Xuandao shouted,""Commander, did you order us to attack?”He was the one who had sent the cavalry to request for battle.
"Reporting to the lieutenant, the commander-in-chief has strictly ordered our troops to not move. Those who disobey will be killed!”the soldier said solemnly.
Wan Xuandao frowned anxiously. He didn't know why Li Zhiyun wouldn't let him save him at such a critical moment.
If he attacked the enemy's flank, even if he couldn't succeed in one strike, he could at least disrupt the enemy's attack and reduce the pressure on the army.
However, Wan Xuandao did not dare to disobey Li Zhiyun's orders.
Those who disobey will be beheaded!
Li Zhiyun had never been so strict with him!
Wan Xuandao could only listen to Li Zhiyun's arrangement and stay put.
Behind the right wing of the spearmen formation, under the commander's flag.
Li Zhiyun remained unmoved. Twenty thousand spearmen, one thousand per row, twenty rows in total.
Now, he had already broken through the eleventh row.
"Defend!"
"If we lose, we will have nothing! The land allocated to you will also be taken away!”
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
"Niu Er, Stab!"
……
The generals of all levels screamed and tried their best to maintain the formation.
Li Zhiyun's forehead broke out in cold sweat. Li Xiu Ning's thunderous attack had indeed exceeded his expectations and put a lot of pressure on him.
He was pretending to be calm.
Because once he showed fear, the soldiers would immediately collapse.
This was the first battle of tens of thousands of people under his command!
When he saw Li Xiuning's follow-up infantry charging into the shooting range of the archers in waves.
He immediately turned around and shouted,"Order the archers to fire in two groups!"”
"Commander-in-chief ordered the archers to fire in two groups!”
"Commander-in-chief ordered the archers to fire in two groups!”
……
The messenger rode his horse and rushed towards the archer commander, Liu Zhongyi.
Liu Zhongyi's hand, which was holding the hilt of his saber, was already sweating nervously. After hearing the order, he shouted at the top of his voice,"Two shots! Shoot!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The five thousand archers in the first five rows raised their arrows and shot. Although they were a little flustered after shooting, they quickly squatted down and drew arrows from the quiver on their backs.
The 5,000 people in the last five rows had already finished shooting.
The five thousand people in front stood up and fired again.
The cycle repeated itself without stopping. Wave after wave of arrows landed on Li Xiu Ning's attack route.
Li Xiu Ning's troops were instantly cut into two.
Li Zhiyun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the results.
This formation was completely based on his knowledge from his previous life. It could be said to be very risky. He was experimenting with actual combat!
Moreover, they were using a group of soldiers who had just laid down their hoes for less than a year!
"Third Sister, today, I will cut off your hidden steel blade!”Li Zhiyun was still brooding over the 2,000 archers that he had neglected.
He was determined to keep all of them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhiyun said loudly,"Order Chen Ye to move the tent forward. I will live and die with them!”
The cavalrymen rushed out to pass the order, and Li Zhiyun's tent slowly approached.
When Li Zhiyun's archer army cut Li Xiu Ning's attack into two, Li Xiu Ning wasn't too worried.
However, when she noticed Li Zhiyun pressing down on her, her expression changed and she exclaimed,""Not good!"
Immediately, Li Xiu Ning turned her head and spoke very quickly, and she said very harshly,"Order the infantrymen to charge forward. Those who retreat in fear will be killed without mercy!”
