Chapter 285: The Formation of the Wasteland is triggered
At the same time, in the Hun cavalry formation opposite Liu Yu's array, under a high fluttering banner with the word "Ju", Ju Nan's brows were tightly locked, carrying a horse whip, pointing to Liu Yu's troops who were marching towards their own side in five formations and holding a lance, and said to Shao Bao on the side: "General Shao, what do these Jin troops mean?" Looking for death? ”
Shao Bao hooked the corners of his mouth: "The hundreds of Jin troops who were dressed in blue and brisk and robust came to lure us, originally they wanted to wait and see, but the deputy marshal insisted on sending a large number of soldiers to fight back, which is why we came here, and now these more than 1,000 Jin troops seem to have a strict appearance and high morale, but there must be fraud among them!" ”
Ju Nan nodded: "Yes, in broad daylight, but more than a thousand infantry, but take the initiative to attack our more than 10,000 cavalry, if it is not brave and reckless, stupid to the extreme, there is an ambush, there is fraud!" In your opinion, what is there in the vicinity where there is an ambush? ”
Shao Bao looked left and right, but still shook his head: "I can't see it, this battlefield is very weird, there is this kind of half-human-high long grass everywhere, it is very easy to ambush a large group of people, I think, the enemy army is prepared, even those lightly armed soldiers in blue clothes, there is no trace, I am afraid that the enemy army is to lead us here and destroy it with ambush soldiers!" ”
Ju Nan said angrily: "I have more than 10,000 iron horsemen, how can it be so easy to destroy?!" There are no big camps here, and I won't take advantage of them like Du Yan! But ............"
Speaking of this, Ju Nan sneered: "The situation on this battlefield is indeed unknown, so let's do it, General Shao, your two thousand headquarters have always been the elite of the broken back, this time it is just as the front army, hit him, try the truth, if there are only more than 1,000 people, then eliminate them, if there is an ambush, quickly retreat, let's still follow the original plan, after the elite soldiers are broken, the army will go first, we have horses, they can't keep us!" ”
A look of dissatisfaction flashed on Shao Bao's face, and he muttered in his heart, "Why am I again." But he did not dare to say anything, but as promised, he rode forward, and the two thousand or so light cavalry, with his movements, began to quickly line up in front of him.
Liu Yu looked relaxed, holding a long lance, taking firm and standard steps, step by step, Xiang Jing, who was standing beside him, winked his eyes and said, "Brother Jinu, let's really fight the enemy cavalry like this?" After walking another 200 steps, we are about to get out of the long grass area, and when the time comes, we will be able to see clearly at a glance! ”
Liu Yu's footsteps didn't stop, and he smiled: "Can't they see our number of people now?" ”
Xiang Jing was so anxious that he stomped his feet, which made him stop for half a step, and almost hit the people behind him, and hurriedly rushed forward two steps, and whispered as he walked: "Brother Jinu, we are still in the grass now, and the enemy cavalry will be afraid that we have ambushes, and they will not dare to charge with all their strength. ”
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Tie Niu, today I will tell you about the art of war, the so-called art of war is nothing more than fighting psychological warfare with the enemy, the more we can show that we can't, and the more we take the initiative to attack, the more panicked the enemy is, they don't know how many soldiers can be ambushed in this grass, if they take the initiative to attack, they will rush over directly just now, how can they wait until now?" ”
Xiang Jing's expression was a little calmer, and his walking became a lot smoother: "But, but after we go out, can't we confuse them, and how many people will be able to see it clearly at a glance." ”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "But the grass behind us is still there, the wind blows the grass low, and it is not clear how many ambushes there are, so they still dare not attack." More than 1,000 of us, they will think that they are tempting the enemy, and they will only become more suspicious. See, now that they have divided their forces, they have only left 2,000 horsemen in front of the formation, and they must have used these 2,000 horsemen to attack us. ”
Xiang Jing Dingqing looked at it and said with a smile: "It's really the same as you said, but even if there are only two thousand horsemen, it will be an advantage for us on this plain, should we put down the rejection horse and antlers, put them in front of the formation, and prepare for the impact?" ”
Liu Yu laughed, and suddenly stood in place, his long lance pointed up, and shook it a few times in the air, this signal quickly made the whole army see it clearly, everyone stopped in unison, and the long lances of the soldiers in the front row were all flat, put down, and pointed forward.
Xiang Jing put the lance on the side and said in a low voice: "Brother Jinu, we just got out of the grass and lined up here, are we waiting for the enemy to attack?" ”
Liu Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's what we want, we will line up at this junction, and the enemy army doesn't know the truth, even if these two thousand horsemen don't dare to attack at full speed, our lance array and bows and crossbows are enough to control the enemy." Fighters in the back row, intercept the lance, and prepare to shoot the enemy with the flying lance! ”
Xiang Jing reacted, laughed and said: "Yes, we still have this trick, just use it, these Hun cavalry must not know how powerful our flying lance is, brothers, intercept the lance!" ”
At the same time as Liu Yu gave the order, Shao Bao on the opposite side had also lined up the formation, the fierce Hun light cavalry, or a team of 100 people, or a team of 60 or 70 people, were all divided according to the tribe, and the men of a tribe formed a team, led by their respective commanders, and they were chaotic, but in front of the Jin army, a team of small cavalry formations or wedge-shaped or trapezoidal horses were discharged, and their respective commanders were desperately boosting the morale of their subordinates in front of the formation, whipping a few soldiers who were a little cowering from time to time, from different tribes and different languages, varied, accompanied by hoarse howls and angry scolding, became the main theme of this side.
Shao Bao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and a deputy general beside him, named Shu Ye, quietly came up: "General, it is difficult for your own soldiers and horses not to move, let us rush first, it is clear that he wants to consume us, we can't completely listen to him." ”
Shao Bao sighed: "Of course I know this truth, but he is the main general, I have to listen to him here, besides, someone must charge first in a war." I think this Jin army is afraid that there is an ambush, there are nine times out of ten ambushes in the grass behind, you take eight hundred horsemen to rush first, remember, do not rush directly into the formation, according to our Huns' method of cavalry shooting, sweep through the enemy formation, shoot in a circle, so that you can try out the reality of the enemy army! ”
Shu Ye nodded: "Then how far in front of the enemy army should we rush?" ”
Shao Bao hooked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that the Jin army is in strict formation, and it may release the rejection horse for a while, and it is useless to rush hard, just rush to fifty steps in front of the enemy formation and change the diagonal line!" ”
Shu Ye laughed: "I will let the Jin army know that we are very good at riding and shooting, brothers, come with me!" ”
