the eighth day

"Your Majesty! The officer camp has been assembled!" Zhu Yuan didn't know what Long Yunfeng wanted to do, but since Long Yunfeng was the most important instructor in the officer camp, they had to listen.

Long Yunfeng looked at the surrounding officers and said,""Everyone, do you know what is the most powerful thing about the Jin Kingdom?”

"Cavalry!"

"That's right. Donghu people not only have a large number of cavalry, but they are also very brave. Donghu people have defeated the Qiang people and Jie people. They are also nomadic people and are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Donghu people's combat strength can be said to be very high.”

More than six hundred officers fell into deep thought. Some of them had fought with Donghu before.

In terms of ferocity, the Qiang people were definitely not the strongest among the Hu people. The Jie people were much fiercer than the Qiang people. At least, the Qiang people could only flee when facing the same number of Jie people. However, the Jie people had always lost more than they won against the Donghu people. Whether it was Schleswig or Shi Hu, they had both been defeated by the Donghu people!

The officers present were confused.

When Long Yunfeng saw this, he knew that things weren't good. If he didn't make a sound, his morale would probably drop!

Long Yunfeng stood in front of the formation with his head held high. The spring breeze blew his black cloak, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body. At this moment, he was like a majestic god in the eyes of the soldiers! Long Yunfeng's face was relaxed and confident as he said loudly,"Everyone has weaknesses, and the Donghu people are no exception!”

"May I ask Your Majesty, the Donghu people are skilled in riding and archery, and their light cavalry can move as if they were flying.”

"The art of war says that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! If he wanted to defeat the Donghu people, he first had to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Xianbei people's tactics.”Long Yunfeng said loudly," Donghu people are good at riding and shooting, but their riding bows are light and can shoot freely on horseback. However, because they are too nimble, their power is not enough. Their bows are much shorter than our Qin infantry. The Jin army's riding bows can shoot eighty to a hundred steps, but at this distance, the arrow's power is almost exhausted. Let alone the excellent armor we wear, even if we wear a layer of ox armor, they still can't shoot through it! The cavalry bows of the Jin army do not have the ability to pierce armor. Even if they want to break through the armor we are wearing, they have to be within 30 steps of us. At this distance, the cavalrymen would no longer use their bows!”

At this moment, the surrounding officers revealed a look of surprise.”They had the experience of fighting with the Hu cavalry. Due to their short arms, their effective range was also short. Generally speaking, riding bows could only deal with targets thirty to fifty steps away without armor. Even if the Qin soldiers were wearing light armor, to break the light armor, the seven bucket bow would need to travel within twenty steps. When the cavalry charged, the distance of twenty steps was just a blink of an eye. If they could not kill the enemy with one arrow, the bows in their hands would not even be as good as fire sticks.

In the history of his previous life, Long Yunfeng was invincible among the nomads. Other than his extraordinary martial courage and wisdom, there was also a very important point. The equipment of the Qin army was very good! Their armors were not afraid of the enemy's arrows, and the Qin army's armor-piercing heavy crossbows could easily tear through the armor of the Jin army!

Long Yunfeng continued," Now that we know the characteristics of the Jin cavalry, it's easy to handle. If they surround us, we'll form a circular formation with our shields at the front. We'll use the pedal crossbows and armor-breaking heavy crossbows to shoot at them." Perhaps some people would ask, because the cavalry was galloping, we couldn't aim, but their accuracy wasn't that good either! Of course, we still have the advantage of shooting range. Even if you use an ordinary arrow, you can easily shoot them from 80 steps away! Shoot the horses first, they would definitely be beaten to a pulp!”

"Your Highness, actually, the Donghu people are better at assaulting!" They used the speed of the warhorses to attack our shield formation. Our shield formation is not able to withstand the high-speed collisions of the warhorses!”

"This is easier to solve!" Long Yunfeng looked at the heavy shield below. This shield was made of ironwood, and it weighed more than forty pounds. Its defensive area was sixty times one meter four.

Long Yunfeng picked up the shield and handed it to Tang Long.""Tang Long, what should you do if you were holding a shield when the Jin Kingdom cavalry charged?”

Tang Long did not say anything. Instead, he placed the shield heavily on the ground and leaned his body forward, using his shoulder to press against the shield!

"If you do this, can you defend against the warhorse's ramming?" Long Yunfeng laughed.”

"A few of them are okay, but if four or five warhorses hit me consecutively, I'm sure they'll send me flying!" Tang Long shook his head.”

Tang Long meant that he could actually block less than three hits. Long Yunfeng was secretly surprised. Even if it was a light cavalry that crashed into the shield formation, he could at least knock down a row at a time. Clearly, Tang Long's body was strong enough!

"What if it was a human?"

"It can withstand at least twenty collisions!”

"Give me your shield, I'll give you a demonstration!"”

As he spoke, Long Yunfeng ordered someone to bring him a wooden stick. This wooden stick was a little thicker than the spear in the soldier's hand, and was about four feet long.

Long Yunfeng placed the shield on the ground and then tilted the wooden stick at a sixty degree angle against the handle of the shield! "Thirty people, use the method you usually use to break the shield formation to hit this shield!" Long Yunfeng said.”

Zhu Yuan looked at Long Yunfeng thoughtfully, as if he understood what he meant!

"Yang Kai, you guys are in charge of attacking the formation!"”

A burly man walked out of the officers. He was about eight feet tall and belonged to the typical Shandong burly man of the later generations! This Yang Kai was from the archer battalion of the Qin Army's eight battalions and was famous for his martial strength. The ordinary people of the archer battalion used a stone bow, but Yang Kai used a three stone bow.

Yang Kai didn't stand on ceremony, taking off his bow and handing it to one of his subordinates before raising a small round shield and retreating twenty steps back before shouting,"Kill!"

Saying so, Yang Kai began to sprint forward, his speed becoming faster and faster, much faster than the 100m sprint in the past! Finally, when he was still three steps away from Long Yunfeng's shield, he jumped up and gathered all his strength. Coupled with the momentum of his sprint, he directly collided with Long Yunfeng's shield!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the two shields collided, followed by the small round shield made of hard wood in Yang Kai's hand.”It actually shattered!

But Long Yunfeng and the heavy shield still didn't budge!

"Hiss!" The surrounding officers gasped! This Yang Kai was indeed a fierce warrior, smashing a shield with just a single blow. This ancient type of shield was made of Iron Core Wood, which was as hard as iron, but he was unable to knock Ran Ming back!

Yang Kai didn't give up and changed to another shield before slamming into it again. This time, the shield didn't shatter, but he also didn't knock down Long Yunfeng!

Zhu Yuan waved his hand and ordered,"Shoot the Third Garrison Team and continue to attack!"”

More than forty burly men suddenly roared and rushed toward Long Yunfeng like a tide.

Following that, crackling sounds could be heard, but Long Yunfeng was still as firm as Mount Tai!

In the end, Yang Kai's group smashed through more than a dozen shields, but still failed to knock down Long Yunfeng!

Long Yunfeng looked at Yang Kai and nodded with satisfaction,"Good man, you have a strong drive!"”

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yuan understood that unless Yang Kai could break the shield, he would not be able to break Long Yunfeng's shield!

"You all saw it, didn't you? With just a small change, we can increase our strength by several times!" If the shield was equipped with a spear, it would be a nightmare for the cavalry!”

At this moment, the officers on the field were all delighted. They were most afraid of cavalry charging. Now, they were no longer afraid of cavalry charging!

Long Yunfeng faced over six hundred officers and said loudly,""In fact, the Donghu people are not scary. The Jin army's light cavalry is not invulnerable! We have found a way to restrain them! Everyone, we are Great Qin's most valiant soldiers, and we will lead you to victory in every battle. We will destroy Donghu and slaughter Wuwan, and we will succeed in every battle. Can a mere Northern Outlander Race stop the advance of Great Qin's soldiers?“

Hearing this, the officers roared,"No, no!"“

"How can a mere Outsider stop my army?" Long Yunfeng roared.”

"No, no!" the officers shouted.”

Long Yunfeng was indeed someone from his previous life. At least, his words were very encouraging. This group of hot-blooded youths were infected by Long Yunfeng! He had the urge to charge up and fight the enemy to the death!

Long Yunfeng subconsciously shouted,"My Great Qin Army!”

"Wan Sheng!"

"The Great Qin Army!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The armor clanged and the generals responded. Long Yunfeng said," As expected of a true warrior of the Great Qin Empire. You are the good sons of the Han family. I will bring you to your deaths!"”

"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"I'm willing to die for Your Majesty!"
