    At this moment, the Allied forces have stopped attacking because Zhou Yu discovered another flaw.

    Heavy infantry has difficulty moving!

    Therefore, Zhou Yu decided to stand still and let the heavy infantry run over on their own.

    Although the two armies are not far apart, it can consume a bit of the heavy infantry's physical strength.

    A little is consumed.

    What's more, the heavy infantry is now at its peak, and the sight of the cavalry being defeated left everyone with lingering fears.

    Zhou Yu used this time to rebuild his morale.

    "We have an army of 300,000, and the enemy only has 50,000. There is nothing to be afraid of."

    "If the Marquis of Dongyang is not strong, is he still the Marquis of Dongyang? What we have to do is to defeat him and become our legend!"

    "If you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with ten gold coins; if you kill five enemies, you will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins!"

    In short, all kinds of slogans were used, including threats and inducements.

    The Allies finally regained some vitality.

    Even though Liu Ke knew that the enemy would become more and more difficult to deal with, he still did not speed up.

    The current speed is the most labor-saving.

    Fifty thousand heavy infantry actually launched an attack on an army formation of 300,000 people. No one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.

    Now, it¡¯s really happening.

    "Well done!" Cao Hong shouted.

    Suddenly, the Allied forces rushed out rows of archers and aimed at the heavy infantry phalanx.

    "Fire the arrow!" Cao Hong ordered.

    Under normal circumstances, if it is ordinary infantry, they attack in such a dense manner.  If a wave of arrows rains down, there will definitely be heavy losses.

    However, the Allied archers faced heavy infantry.

    Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

    The sky was full of arrows that took off and then fell.

    Countless arrows collided with the armor, making sharp sounds.

    The heavy infantry was unscathed!

    Cao Hong glanced around, as if trying to find some unlucky guy, but found none.

    "Fire the arrow again!"

    When the second wave of arrows fell, Cao Hong had to admit that he was just wasting arrows and wasting his energy.

    It has no effect at all.

    "Damn it, why are these iron lumps so difficult to deal with!" Cao Hong wanted to scold his mother.

    The cavalry was filled with hatred, and the archers returned without success.

    This battle is really difficult.

    A quarter of an hour later, the two sides finally made contact.

    At this time, the Yangzhou army raised their spears high and rushed towards the Allied troops with steady and powerful steps, as if they wanted to retaliate for the previous arrow rain.

    Everyone thrust forward at the same time, and the heavy spears penetrated the Allied front troops.  The eyes of the allies in the front row flashed with fear and pain, and they fell down without even making a sound.

    Receive guns, spines, guns, stabbing.

    It¡¯s a simple action in daily training, but now it¡¯s killing countless people.

    When Cao Cao saw this scene, he closed his eyes in pain.

    "Lord, let's retreat ten miles and see how they pursue us!" Cao Zhen suggested.

    Back?

    Once you retreat, there will be no future.

    How shameful is it that an army of 350,000 people cannot defeat 50,000 people?

    Cao Cao will never admit defeat.

    "No, once we retreat and lose our spirit, no matter how large our army is, we will be doomed." Zhou Yu said, and then reminded, "Dongyang Marquis's 70,000 cavalry are still motionless."

    How can two legs outrun four!

    "We can't even chew through these iron lumps!" Cao Zhen sighed.

    Cao Cao has it in his heart, but he must not retreat, there is an abyss behind him.

    "Order all the ministries to take turns to resist Dongyang Hou's army, and be sure to wait for a turning point." Cao Cao said firmly.

    ¡°The so-called turning point, is it because they are exhausted?

    How many lives must be taken into account!

    Cao Zhen couldn¡¯t imagine it, but he resolutely carried out the order.

    As a result, the heavy infantry phalanx was like a harvester, constantly defeating the Allied forces, causing their psychological defenses to collapse.

    Half an hour later, taking advantage of the gap when the allies were not pressing forward, Liu Ke ordered a change of formation and let the people in front come back to rest.

    The people on the first level are exchanged with the people on the second level, and the people on the second level are exchanged with the people on the third level.

    The third ladder is in the middle, and there is no need to do anything else except moving.

    ?Although this move reduces the killing efficiency, it also puts the heavy infantry in an invincible position.

    If we really fight in a decentralized manner, and three people fight against one heavy infantry, will they still be able to kill you?

    The strength of heavy infantry lies in fighting in formations and in group armies.

    Faced with such a new type of military force, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu could only use the most primitive, simplest, and most effective method, which was to delay.

    There may have been armored infantry in history, but they were far from heavy infantry.

    It doesn¡¯t have to be heavily armored to be called heavy infantry. It mainly depends on the defensive power.

    The armor of the Yangzhou Army is a product of the times.

    "My lord has surprised people again." Zhang He said.

    Who would have thought that 50,000 heavy infantrymen were fighting against an army of 300,000 people?

    "This is absolute defense. Even your heavy cavalry can't do it." Tai Shici said.

    Zhang He was silent, the heavy cavalry still had flaws, such as horse legs.

    A war horse needs to gallop, but it cannot be armored on its legs.

    "Zhong Kang has found a treasure and achieved great success in vain." Zhang He said enviously.

    Looking at the whole scene, Xu Chu just cooperated and commanded the formation, but the Chongbu Battalion was under his name, so he must have a share in the merits.

    "Don't be envious. The next battle will depend on your performance." Taishi Ci said.

    Ordinary cavalry would never dare to directly collide with the infantry spear phalanx, so Zhang He had the heavy responsibility to open a gap so that Taishi Ci could show his full potential.

    "No problem." Zhang He said.

    "My lord said that the heavy infantry can last for about three hours, and one hour has almost passed now." Tai Shici reminded.

    In other words, they will have to fight for a breathing space for the heavy infantry.

    "Understood, we must move out within an hour." Zhang He said.

    This is the art of getting things done. You can¡¯t wait until the last minute and leave room for success.

    Tai Shici also agreed with this matter.

    For now, let¡¯s continue to enjoy The Killing Moment.

    Liu Ke was protected in the formation. In his spare time as a commander, he held a longbow and killed the Allied captain, with repeated attempts.

    At least five lieutenants or lieutenants were shot dead by Liu Ke.

    The Allied forces were filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

    Of course, as the battle continued, heavy infantry losses also increased.

    The scheming heavy infantry can use actions such as turning to use their armor to directly absorb the damage of the sword, but the gap between the armors is still impossible to ignore.

    There are veterans among the Allied forces!

    Not only that, the Allies also discovered an interesting phenomenon. As long as the heavy infantry fell, it would be difficult to stand up with only their own strength.

    As a result, some heavy infantry who broke away from the phalanx would be knocked down and besieged.

    However, in order to find out such experience, the Allies lost an unknown number of thousands of people.

    Maybe they can find more flaws, but this battle has already been won by Liu Ke.

    Human beings are making progress, especially soldiers on the battlefield. If they don¡¯t learn new ways of fighting, they can only fill it with their lives.

    The reputation of Chongbu Camp has been established, and after this battle, it will definitely become famous all over the world.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
