Luo Shixin is certainly worried, but the problem now is that the soldiers under his command can run and fight, but the mounts are not good.

This time is different from the situation of fighting in the vast grassland, the Central Plains is complex, the place for the cavalry to gallop is limited, and most of the troops ride are tall and powerful, explosive Hequ horses, not small size, hard-working, endurance amazing Liaodong horses, this choice is actually more reasonable, but the Hequ horses are far more squeamish than Liaodong horses, can not endure hardship, can not endure hard work, the army rushed for a night, the horses are snorting and snorting, and then run down must be abolished. Once you lose your warhorse, you won't be able to complete the mission.

After the helpless Luo Shixin captured the two barracks in a lightning flash, he had to stop the pace of the expedition and let the soldiers dismount and rest. He was secretly ruthless in his heart, as soon as the battle ended, he immediately changed the army back to the Liaodong horse, its many advantages were superimposed, the disadvantage of running slower than the Hequ horse, it was not a disadvantage at all, the best was to ride one person and two horses like before, the Hequ horse was used to charge into battle, and the Liaodong horse was used to gallop for a long distance, anyway, in the case of not bearing the weight, the Hequ horse could also gallop as long distance as the Liaodong horse.

Luo Shixin felt that he had to remind the saint to realize that although the battlefield in the Central Plains was different from the grassland, there were exceptions to everything, if it was Li Yuan who was chasing Li Yuan next time, but in the end he was not strong enough to let Li Yuan run away, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

Blink of an eye at the tall and divine horses, the more Luo Shixin looked, the more he felt that this thing was a good thing, and it could almost be equated with 'Jin Yu Qi Wai Defeated', well, it was still a petite and delicate Liaodong horse cute, just like a line girl... It's cool to ride...

A mouthful of water squirted out, and Luo Shixin was shocked by his divine thoughts.

"General! You okay? Xin Fang'er said with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Luo Shixin hurriedly wiped it, put away the water bladder, and asked, "How long have you rested?" ”

"It's almost an hour."

"Alas!" Luo Shinobunaga sighed and said sadly: "I don't know how the right servant shoots?" Do you think Li Shimin will drown him? ”

There was a "poof" sound, and Xin Fang'er also sprayed.

Luo Shixin also realized the ambiguity in his words, and couldn't help but smile on his serious face, looked at the bright sky, and said: "We can also do our best, but the horses are too nesty, as for the right servant's shooting, maybe we can only listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

He really has nothing to do, he and Xin Fang'er's mounts are okay, but what can the two of them do? There seems to be nothing else except giving away people's heads, he Luo Shixin is an enemy of ten thousand people, not a heartthrob, although he is not afraid of death, but he is not so dead.

"Report ......"

At this moment, a scout's uncertain Pegasus came and reported loudly: "General, to the east of our army, there is an enemy trace, and a cavalry of the Tang Army, numbering about 5,000, is coming straight to this side!" ”

"Huh?" Luo Shixin and Xin Fang'er stood up from the ground in unison, the two looked at each other, and Luo Shixin asked, "How far is the enemy army from here?" ”

"The enemy is still twenty miles away, and with the speed of their march, it is estimated that they will be here in about six hours." The scout replied.

"Half an hour?"

"Yes!"

"Got it, probe again!"

"Whoa!"

Xin Fang'er looked at Luo Shixin and said in a deep voice: "General, you can run twenty miles in six minutes, and your speed is not slow!" Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed? ”

"Impossible!" Luo Shixin shook his head, "The fastest rout of the Lu clan was caught up by our army before the first barracks, which shows that our marching speed is not slow, the two barracks we captured, first attacked the beacon tower, and then launched a surprise attack on the barracks, and no one escaped the interception point we laid in the east in advance, Li Shimin could not know that there was a change here." Also, the cavalry that was about to arrive was very fast, and if they knew that there was an enemy in front of them, they would have slowed down and rested their battles, but they didn't, what is this? It's light and unprepared! ”

"General, how are we going to fight?" Xin Fang'er is a fierce general with brains and understands what Luo Shixin means.

Luo Shixin thought for a while and said: "The long-distance march is naturally a long snake, I led a thousand soldiers to wait here for the enemy, specifically to deal with the snake's head, and then gradually devour the snake's body; You will take the rest of the troops to the middle and tail to set up two ambush points! The hill five miles away is the snake's tail, which is in charge of a thousand soldiers, and you are in charge of the middle, and you are the first to start the battle, and be sure to cut off the snake's body, so that its head and tail cannot be taken into account, as long as you start, the head and tail will respond immediately! Send a few more men to set up interception points behind the snake's tail, and never let a single person escape to the east to report the news. ”

"Whoa!" Xin Fang'er also knew that the situation was urgent, and did not compete with Luo Shixin for the more difficult task of blocking the enemy head-on, and called the army to the east to set up an ambush according to the order.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Hongnong is located on the edge of the Heluo Plain, the further west, the more uplifted hills, the mountains are not high, not dangerous, mostly covered with lush forests, this kind of place has seen a lot, experienced a lot, it is easy to overlook.

Compared with the left and right sides, the ambush place chosen by Xin Fang'er is not prominent at all and more inconspicuous, but it has a characteristic, that is, the bank of Luoshui under the hill is quite narrow, and it only begins to open up to the west of the barracks occupied by Luo Shixin. This narrow strip is as long as four miles, and the Tang army can only pass through when it arrives here, and once it launches a surprise attack before and after, the Tang army can not set up a position no matter how many troops it has, and can only be eaten away by the Sui army from both ends and talk into chaos.

"Da Da . ."

Not long after Xin Fang'er set up an ambush, a fierce sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and it was the arrival of five thousand cavalry led by Qiu Xinggong.

Qiu Xinggong was born in a family of Jiangmen, and gathered in Guanzhong when the world was in turmoil, because he was brave and good at riding and shooting, and soon gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the surrounding people turned to him for protection, so that Qiu Xinggong's power was getting bigger and bigger, and when Li Tang swept through Guanzhong, Qiu Xinggong led the people to surrender to Tang, and was assigned by Li Yuan to Li Shimin's account to obey orders.

In the battle of Luoyang not long ago, Li Shimin used himself as a bait to make Wang Shiqi go out of the city to fight, the battle was tragic, there was no elite Li Shimin around him in distress, the enemy shot Li Shimin's war horse, Li Shimin fell to the ground, at the moment of crisis, Qiu Xinggong rode his horse to kill, while killing and repelling the enemy, while handing over his war horse to Li Shimin to ride, he used a bow and arrow to shoot the enemy soldiers around him continuously, and successfully covered Li Shimin to kill the encirclement, since then, Qiu Xinggong's status has risen.

After so many years in the army, Qiu Xinggong was the first time to lead so many cavalry, which made him very happy, and he led the army to run wildly triumphantly.

"Quick, speed up."

Qiu Xinggong didn't know if Li Shimin would let himself be in charge of this army all the time, but he finally had such an opportunity, of course, he had to enjoy the pleasure of being a horseman. As for Liu Wenjing's worries, he is not at ease at all now, it is not that he is careless, but that there is nothing abnormal in the three barracks he passed by before. But what he didn't know was that he and this cavalry had entered the ambush circle of the Sui army, and had become the great military feats in the eyes of the Sui army.

"General, the thief army is here."

The soldiers of the Sui army are a group of people with the strongest sense of belonging to the Great Sui, and they are proud of being a member of the Great Sui, and the concept of loyalty to the Great Sui has long been deeply rooted in their bones and souls, and all enemies are denounced as anti-thieves, thieves, and thieves.

The soldier next to him was also checking the repeater in his hand, eager to try.

"Obey my command, no one is allowed to move!"

Xin Fang'er's gaze was very calm, just like his heart. He was ordered by Yang Dong the year before last to participate in the martial arts, although he did not win the championship, but he killed the extremely arrogant Tuyuhun warriors in the competition, and became a hero in the eyes of the people of the Great Sui for a while, with extremely high popularity, and then for most of the year, he did not hold a position in the army, but continued to study at the Tsinghua Academy of Martial Arts, and worked hard to learn the skills of leading troops and the art of battle formation. It wasn't until a few years ago that Yang Tong was re-recalled to serve in the army.

During his studies, Yang Tong also occasionally went to teach, unlike others, Yang Tong never explained the art of war, but dissected the classic historical battles, he likes to discuss with you from the aspect of a country's comprehensive national strength to discuss the causes of success or failure of the warring sides, which also lets everyone know that war is not just a contest on the battlefield! In terms of ambushes, what impressed Xin Fang'er the most was the ambush battle in Shentouling fought by a general surnamed Chen, which was unconventional and calculating, and his choice of this inconspicuous place to set up an ambush was also affected by this Shentouling ambush. At the same time, he also knows where the focus of ambush warfare is.

Generally speaking, the main reason for the success of ambush warfare is not that the enemy is taken by surprise, because in many ambush battles, the opponent clearly finds the enemy army in ambush, but the result is still unable to escape the end of the fiasco, which shows that being caught off guard is only one of the reasons for the fiasco of the attack.

The fundamental reason is still the formation, only the soldiers in a neat formation will not be confused, and can fight the enemy with high morale and as a whole. The marching team is generally very long, it is difficult to maintain the battle formation, so once ambushed by the enemy, the soldiers will often fall into chaos, the human instinct to survive makes their first thought in ambush is to flee for their lives, and then the morale of the whole army collapses, the morale of the army is weakened, and the individual fights with a complete formation, what is the result? Go without saying.

At this time, the Tang army was getting closer and closer, and the forward troops had already rushed in front of the Sui army, but they did not find the Sui soldiers in ambush in the jungle at all. The whole army stretched for about five miles, like a long snake swimming along the river.

The key point of the snake is seven inches, and the key point of the marching team is the main general of an army, and the main general will die, and the enemy army that is caught off guard will collapse without a fight.
