The sunrise in the east, on the outskirts of Luoyang, on the shore of Luoshui, the cold morning breeze is still blowing on the face, making people feel a chill, with the rumbling golden drum sounding continuously, it is destined that today will not be a peaceful day. 『』

On the open field in the northwest of Luoshui, there are more than ten dense Song army formations, each of which is more than a thousand steps apart, forming a large array of crimson fish scales that cannot be seen at a glance. The formation is divided into three columns, there are forwards, middle troops, rear armies and left and right wings, with rejecting horses, thistles terrestris, the whole army array is arranged in an orderly manner, it can be said that it is both offensive and defensive, almost an unbreakable steel woodland.

In the strict military formation, no one dared to make noise without authorization, only the anxious feet accompanied by the sky-shaking drumbeat, rushing back and forth in the military formation, passing military orders up and down, looking from a distance, it was really a scene of flags fluttering, swords and guns like forests, iron and sea scarlet waves, and a scene of slaughter.

The Great Song Dynasty Chonghuo De, the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army are mainly crimson, with dark iron armor and a crescent white vest, which is actually quite majestic.

The military formation of the Jin army is very different, their so-called regular soldiers are very few, there are about 20,000 people, in the center of the formation of 20,000 troops formation, followed by tens of thousands of cavalry as reserves, including the heavy armor of the iron floating tu, all dismounted to rest.

The horse team with geese on both wings is the main force of the Jin army, each with more than 10,000 elite cavalry, and they are arrayed in Meng'an, and the standard Jurchen Meng'an is a conquering army. The two wings were followed by Alixi, who were the servants of the regular soldiers, carrying military rations and arrows to provide support for the regular soldiers, and could also be used as cannon fodder in case of emergency.

"The elite horse army of the captives is indeed very spectacular" Qu Duan rode on a jujube red river meandering horse, looking at the lineup of the Jin Army and the horse army, and couldn't help but be full of envy, and the strong Western Army did not have so many war horses.

Liu Qi, the commander of the Chinese army, and Wu Luan, the commander of the capital command, looked at him calmly, but his envious look was beyond words. Due to the loss of the five states, the Great Song Dynasty lost half of its horses, but it was still able to organize 50,000 horse troops to fight against the Khitan; Liangzhou was eventually occupied by the party, which caused the Great Song Dynasty to lose the most sophisticated production area of war horses, and the horse army gradually declined. Although Wang Zhao's expansion of the territory allowed the Great Song Dynasty to have the Xihe Road, it lost the support of the Tubo people, and the source of war horses was almost exhausted, and only the sparse small horse farms on the edge of Shaanxi Province supplied war horses, or they smuggled or purchased horses from the southern mountains, which were not at all comparable to the excellent Hequ horses, but they were just a matter of life.

"But tens of thousands of horse troops, why should the captain have the ambition of others" Wu Xuan said sourly, and his tone still couldn't hide his envy.

Qu Duan smiled hesitantly, and said silently: "Tang Qing, the captive kidnapper horse is sharp, and there are tens of thousands of riders." There are only 3,000 people in the party, and tens of thousands of horsemen are rushing into battle, how spectacular"

"Most of our troops are foot soldiers, and they are swarming and it is difficult to hold on." Liu Qi was deeply touched, and frowned. He insisted that Wang Yuan arrive and fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, but Qu Duan insisted on fighting, and he had no choice.

Qu Duan's thoughts can't fool him, this guy is definitely arrogant and unruly, and he will never be willing to be the queen. The guest army must be controlled by the ministers, that is to say, Qu Duan must accept Wang Yuan's moderation, so it is worth it, especially when he heard that Wang Yuan had arrived in Zhengzhou, so he couldn't wait to set up a position.

However, Qu Duan is a general who is in charge of his own after all, and it is true that he is eager to meet the battle, but whether it is preparation or arrangement, there is no sloppiness. The battlefield is also very favorable, the whole army is bordered by Luoshui in the south, covering the flank security with Luoshui, reaching the southern foot of Bishan in the north, echoing with the camp from afar, at least there is a stable support point; There is Gu Shui later, which is a trick of fighting against the water, so that the officials have the momentum of decisive death, and if they do not fight to the death, they will die in battle, and there is no room for negotiation.

However, the military formation has always been the Song army's specialty, and the Khitan strong horse army is all pressed by more than ten thousand black people, and the Song army's military formation is like a rock standing still, making the strong Khitan people suffer. Although the Jin army has repeatedly defeated the Song army, how can there be its own people who collapse without a fight, and there is a mistake of light soldiers rushing forward, and the real Song army has never been broken through by the Jin army. This is not a joke, but the reality exists, the Jin army made two large-scale southern expeditions, and because of the Zhao official family, the Song army was unable to organize a large corps positional battle.

It was considered one time in the division, but because the light soldiers advanced and did not carry the baggage, in the end, because they could not get the reward, the strongest crossbowmen retreated, and Yao Gu's tens of thousands of troops simply collapsed without a fight, as for Li Gang's commander, it was definitely a joke.

You don't see the fierce battle of the curtain Tianpo, tens of thousands of Jurchen horse troops, but they can't break through the Song army's military formation, hundreds of thousands of Qinwang's army are in formation, and the Jin army can only sigh. It is true that the abduction horse is sharp, which is based on the inability of the Song army to organize a large-scale military formation, or the wavering morale of the army.

In a word, the army formation of 100,000 people is overwhelming, and there is almost no possibility of being completely defeated, and Luoshui covers the flanks, completely copying Wang Xiu's entry into Kaifeng, and using Cai Shui to cover the flanks to limit the plundering of the two wings of the Jin army.

Besides, as a general of the Chinese army, he controlled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and understood that the valley water in winter was shallow, not as deep as Luoyang's water and the river was not as wide as the river, and the war horses could wade through, and he didn't have too many worries, so he could only say that Qu Duan played a psychological war for his own people.

Qu Duan listened to Liu Qi's words, obviously dissenting, he didn't bother to care, Liu Qi is also a world general, he needs to save a little face, and said lightly: "Okay, the captives are going to attack."

Wu Lan admired Qu Duan very much, he was able to attract captives into the preset battlefield, and this wisdom alone was not comparable to him.

On the battlefield, there was a short and rapid trumpet sound, like a long whistle that ripped the heart. More than 1,000 horsemen galloped out on each flank of the Jin army and slaughtered in front of the Song army's formation. These elite cavalrymen were all dressed in armor and horned iron pockets, without any rendering shouts, and one by one galloped in a dreary mood. Well. The number of the two Meng'an is not very large, but the momentum is extremely spectacular.

Liu Weifu, the former commander of the army and the deputy head of the Xihe Horse Infantry Army, is very calm, and the former army under his command is the eleventh general, the real elite of the Shaanxi Forbidden Army, and it is by no means a native soldier of the township army.

The eleventh general specially formed the central army formation of the front line, becoming the mainstay of the support of the front army, facing the oncoming Jin army horse team, the general Wu Jie was not afraid, but there was a disdainful sneer on his lips. However, the deputy general Wei Jing beside him had a little pale face, and his body trembled slightly, obviously frightened by the momentum of Jin Junhei's pressure.

Wu Jie glanced at Wei Jing with disdain, smiled coldly, and did not say anything to appease, a son of a family who was promoted by virtue of his relationship, had to follow into battle, if he could be calm, he couldn't rest assured, anyway, it was not Wei Jing's turn to command, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this gentleman, as long as he didn't mess around
