Chen Changping gently stroked the neck of the flame under his crotch, soothing the obviously somewhat excited partner. His eyes were fixed on the two cavalry teams that were strangled not far ahead.

This is the meeting of two road-finding cavalry.

Before a pillar of incense, he received a report from the striker that he had encountered enemy troops.

After a pillar of incense, he rushed to the battlefield, but the battle between the two sides was at its fiercest.

He didn't act rashly, because where the smoke and dust were billowing on the opposite side, more and more cavalry of the Liang army were appearing in his eyes.

He was not in a hurry, because the two teams that were now in the battle had the upper hand of their own.

It is also cavalry, but there are still significant differences between the two sides. Just like Chen Changping and Liu Chenglin before, the longer the war was delayed, the more beneficial it would be to the Tang army.

Now Li Ze controls the entire south and north of the desert, including Hetao, Qingtang and other places, which are all good places for ready-made horse breeding. A large number of Yi tribes are attached, which also makes them not short of good horse breeders, which makes them comfortable in the choice of war horses. You can choose a suitable horse according to the characteristics of your troops.

Cavalrymen like Liu Chenglin and Li De, they invariably chose the current war horse with poor explosive power but long endurance. However, troops like Li Ze's guards and Chengde wolf cavalry chose war horses with strong explosive power and extremely terrifying short-distance sprints.

And this is determined according to the needs of different operations.

Liang Jun, but there is no such convenience. Although they can still obtain war horses through various means, it is an unimaginable luxury to choose the war horses they need according to the combat characteristics of the troops. As long as the basic conditions of the war horse are met, they will accept it in full.

Therefore, except for the most elite group of the Liang army, that is, the type of personal guards of the generals, the rest is roughly as long as it is a war horse, which is quite good.

This caused them to be uneven in battle.

In a short period of time, against an enemy who is worse than them, this unevenness will not be reflected, because before it can be shown, the enemy has already been destroyed by them. But now, they've got an opponent who's on par with or even better than them.

This shortcoming was immediately exposed, and as time went by, it became bigger and bigger.

War is a collective movement. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, organized collectives always have more advantages than individuals in the brave three armies.

After these two cavalry of more than 1,000 people collided together, at the beginning, it can be said that the opponent will meet the good talent in chess, and it is difficult to separate, but after fighting for a period of time, the advantage of the Tang army is becoming more and more obvious, because no matter when they are, they always maintain the collective advantage, even if they are scattered, only a few scattered horses together, they can also form a small collective to advance and retreat together.

And Liang Jun, there will always be those who are alone.

It's not that they don't want to keep up with the big troops, it's that something is wrong with their horses.

Being alone almost means death.

A little uncoordinated, a little staggered, for an individual like a cavalry who fights in high-speed motion, it is a distance of the boss.

Then, the shadow of death will follow.

If it was in peacetime, it would still be able to escape, but now, it is between the two armies, and if you flee back, I am afraid that there will be no good end, and there is no general who will tolerate such confessional subordinates in front of the two armies, which will greatly frustrate the morale of the army.

As a result, they can only fight to the death, even if they escape, they can only move around in the space of the two troops.

Chen Changping waited for the opponent to play his cards first.

That's the advantage of being a first-mover. Latecomers can always take advantage of it.

He didn't believe that the Liang generals on the other side would see his subordinates being slaughtered in front of tens of thousands of people, which would be a huge blow to morale just like fleeing and surrendering. It was also a great blow to the majesty of the generals. No one would want to die for such a leader. If you are yourself, you must also respond.

Sure enough, a cavalry of about two thousand people appeared on the opposite side.

Chen Changping looked at his own cavalry in the center of the battlefield, which was still about half left, and immediately made obvious changes to the lineup because of the appearance of enemy reinforcements. Having the advantage of going out, they abandoned the opponent who was being surrounded by them, and in a very short time, they reformed a sharp formation, and then fearlessly rushed towards the cavalry four times their size.

They are decoys, they are also the first movers, warriors who dare to sacrifice their lives to create fighters for the main force.

Speaking of which, it's just a simple tactical move.

One of the most important prerequisites for his operation is that it can only be used when it has absolute superiority on the battlefield. And now, the Tang Army has created such an opportunity.

However, there is a problem that must be faced, that is, the first strike force that created this opportunity will inevitably face heavy losses, and their losses are precisely the victory opportunities of the main forces.

Five hundred cavalry head-on attack several times their enemy troops, the pressure they are facing can be imagined, after a hedge, how many people will be left is impossible to predict, but because of their impact this time, the enemy's formation will be delayed, and the cavalry fighting at high speed can not stop.

At this time, as the late attacker, it can easily choose the weakest rib of the opponent to cut into, and the enemy, without much chance of reacting, will usher in a large number of casualties.

Then there's the cycle.

Regaining the battlefield advantage forces the enemy to make a new response, while your side repeats the previous maneuver.

It's simple, but it's extremely practical.

And in such a gong-to-gong and drum-to-drum face-to-face hard shock, both sides have no choice, so the advantage will be expanded little by little.

Simple, often the best, is also the best to use.

The simplest ones are also the hardest to crack.

Chen Changping made a gesture. Chen Changgui let out a long roar, clamped his war horse between his legs, and the 1,500 cavalry under his command had already rushed forward with his roar.

The 500 cavalry who were the first to attack collided with the rushing waves on the opposite side, and in an instant, the waves splashed in all directions, and they were drowned by the wild current, and the sharp arrow formation of the Liang army also changed in this instant, from an unstoppable torrent to a flood of water.

This is the fighter.

The cavalry led by Chen Changgui pierced deeply into the ribs like a sharp long knife in the most suitable fighter. In an instant, a deep black scar was broken in a torrent of earthy brown.

The long black dragon tossed and turned in the earthy brown water, tearing the wound bigger and bigger.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Changping's mouth.

The first 1,000 cavalry to go out of the enemy, he didn't know how many were left now, and those who were left should also be integrated into Chen Changgui's troops at this time, and the real casualties should be counted after the war. But that would definitely be a sad number.

But it was worth it, because the casualties they brought to the enemy far exceeded their own losses, and the fighters they created were the opportunity for this battle.

With the passage of time, the following battles will return to the earliest appearance, and what you need to wait for is the next opportunity.

This tactic was described by the Khitan general Yeluqi in the cavalry class of the Wuwei Military Academy, this tactic was invented and used on the battlefield when the Khitans were at their strongest, and victory after victory proved that he was effective. It was only later that as the Khitan power weakened, they had fewer and fewer opportunities to use this tactic.

Subsequently, they were reappeared in the cavalry of the Don Army.

Speaking of the use of cavalry, the Khitans really have a few brushes.

And every cavalry general in Datang, as long as he has entered the Wuwei Military Academy and received training, will not be unfamiliar with this tactic.

Hopefully, Wu Jin can survive this battle. Chen Changping said to himself in his heart. Wu Jin is the tooth general of the first cavalry team, a very good young man. At such a moment, under such an opportunity, in fact, not everyone can have the courage to put their life and death aside to choose this tactic that is destined to throw themselves in front of the gate of the king of Yama. Even a general like him would not have had time to give such an order, because the cavalry fighter has always been a little white and bright, and if it is caught, it will be seized, and it will be lost if there is a slight hesitation.

A mediocre general, a general who spares his life, under such an opportunity, if he does not choose to run into an enemy army several times his size, even after the war, no one will accuse him of anything. Because there are so many excuses to excuse one's cowardice.

Let's say, I didn't notice the appearance of this fighter plane.

The excellent or mediocre, brave or cowardly, will be exposed in the face of such an opportunity to choose life and death.

Chen Changping was very pleased that this general, who had been picked up by himself, had made the most beneficial choice for the whole, even if he would sacrifice his life because of it.

Such a general, if he can survive, will inevitably go to a higher position to make himself shine.

Of course, if you die like this, that's the end of it.

There are never a few excellent soldiers, but there are never many excellent soldiers who can survive and step by step to a high position.

In addition to the qualities they have to have mentioned earlier, there is another thing that is inexplicable, and that is luck.

Chen Changping, who kills people like hemp, has never believed in gods and Buddhas. But before every battle, I pray that I can have good luck.

He's been lucky so far.

Seeing that the generals of the Liang army on the opposite side finally couldn't hold back the whole army to move, and seeing Chen Changgui bumping head-on without hesitation, Chen Changping smiled and flicked the slingshot string and smashed the horse forward.

The virtuous cycle of war always starts with a small-scale conflict, and then increases layer by layer, and eventually these advantages will accumulate little by little to form a victory.
