Luo Zhaoyun sits in the north of Qishan, ten miles of company camp, the flag flutters, there are Chen Qi, Xue Wancheng, Guo Xiaoke, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and other military generals and ministers to accompany them, and the young generals are a group, most of them are the children of the Guanlong nobles.

The patrol camp and daily army chores are all handed over to Chen Qi, because Luo Zhaoyun still has to review the folds sent by the northwest, so there is no way to bow to him.

And Li Jing stayed for three days, so he took 5,000 men and horses straight to Qu Tutong's camp in Anding County, and brought a holy decree to let Li Jing take over Qu Tutong's 30,000 horses, and Qu Tutong was transferred back to the commander's camp with another important task.

This military change was actually to give Li Jing 30,000 troops to raid the Liang State, and Qu Tutong was transferred back, he was good at fighting tough battles and could deal with the Turkic cavalry. Commanders have their own strengths, and they must know how to make good use of them and assign them to the most suitable positions, so that they can give full play to the best results.

Yin Kaishan, the Tang army of Tunzha in Anding County, also received an order from within the Tang Dynasty to withdraw from Anding County with troops and horses, and waited for the Liang army and Turkic cavalry in the area of the shallow water plain of Beidi County, and then launched a fierce attack on the Dahua defense line north of Qishan.

In the past few days, the new army recruited from Tianshui, Longxi, and Huining counties has arrived by route, with more than 10,000 people and as few as 3,000 or 4,000 people, all of whom are strong men who can become regular soldiers if they are trained.

The eldest grandson Wuji was in the rear, managing the finances, and mobilized a lot of grain, grass and ordnance, which were continuously transported to the front line to meet the needs of the Dahua army.

Luo Zhaoyun took advantage of these days of preparation to study the way to deal with the Turkic cavalry, although there were 30,000 cavalry in the army, but it was weak to face the 80,000 or 100,000 Turkic iron cavalry.

Except for the six thousand heavily armored soldiers who were fully armed, dressed in Mingguang armor and Mo swords, the rest of the cavalry was not necessarily stronger than the Turkic knights, because the latter were all herdsmen, grew up on horseback, and were skilled in bow and arrow riding, which was not comparable to the Central Plains.

Therefore, how to defeat the Turkic cavalry became the key to holding the Qishan camp. There is no very complicated terrain here, and it is impossible to find a dangerous place to fight the Turkic cavalry, because the enemy army is not stupid, and it is a big deal to bypass you and go directly to the next place, so that you are forced to turn around.

In this situation, how to attract the tripartite coalition forces to a decisive battle head-on, and at the same time restrain the Turkic cavalry and strike at the tripartite fierce generals, has become the top priority.

Thinking about it, Luo Zhaoyun still felt that to deal with the Turkic cavalry, it was necessary to use black powder, lay some mines, and then blow up the sky, and the war horse would inevitably be chaotic if it was frightened, and then shoot it with a long-range crossbow, supplemented by Mo swordsmen and cavalry, in order to have a surprising effect.

Black powder is a killer weapon, and it is also a hole card that makes Luo Zhaoyun confident!

Outside the barracks, drums beat one after another, and war horses galloped. The ranks of the new army are stepping up their training, and the shouts of shouting are constantly coming out, very loudly.

Many new troops were selected and conscripted from various counties, and they all knew that His Majesty was here to drive the conscription, and they were very excited that they were the people of Dahua, including the Han people, the Tuyuhun people, the Qiang people, the Tiele people, the people of the Western Regions, the Rouran people, etc., the Hu and Han people lived together, and they were compatible with each other.

Whether it is children's schooling, support for the elderly, medical care, subsidies, treatment of martyrs' families, etc., all are treated equally, these social benefits are in place, conscription has become easy, and they are willing to fight for Dahua.

"Report - there is urgent information!"

"Submit it in!"

"Whoa!" The guards outside took the information, ran in quickly, and handed over the intelligence letter.

Luo Zhaoyun opened it and saw that it was written the number of Turkic cavalry, as well as the route map of the march, such information, he would return the route three times a day, and constantly report it.

The route of the march, the number of cavalry, the spare horses, the food situation, and the supply of food and grass are becoming more and more detailed.

"100,000 cavalry, 50,000 spare war horses, the Turks are really willing to spend their blood, and they are all lost in Guanzhong, and it is estimated that the Turks will also be greatly injured."

"Report - there is an urgent military intelligence delivered!"

Another messenger scout arrived, delivering information, this time about the route and number of Liang's troops.

Luo Zhaoyun walked on the sand table map, observed the location of the terrain, and put a marker.

"The Turkic men and horses traveled nearly two hundred miles a day, and the speed was very fast, and the army of the Liang State traveled eighty miles a day and entered Beidi County!"

Luo Zhaoyun studied for many days and said: "Our army is located in the border between Beidi County and Fufeng County, there is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, the mountains are undulating, there are many forks, the front is open, but the back is getting narrower and narrower. We lined up here, and immediately sent people to push forward three miles in the place where the mountains were excessive, and built earthen forts and earthen walls, which did not need to be too high, as long as the cavalry momentum was relieved. ”

Mai Jicai hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the last general can take someone to do it." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "Wei Yijie, Murong Huaigu, Murong Siguan, the three of you each led 3,000 troops, ambushed in the rear of the formation, in several mountain ranges, waiting for the gongs and drums to be the trumpet, and then rushed to kill the enemy formation. ”

"Yes!" The three youngsters clenched their fists.

Luo Zhaoyun said again: "Seven days at the earliest, ten days at the latest, the three military horses can converge and rush here, Xue Wancheng, you take 20,000 cavalry, fight with the Turkic cavalry on the first day, stimulate the anger of the Turks, and the next day, it is the time to kill this group of Hu people." ”

Xue Wancheng received the order, and he was excited and eager to fight with the Turkic vanguard, which was a frontal charge to test the true strength of the Dahua cavalry and the Turkic cavalry.

Guo Xiaoke, Chu Suiliang and others were a little confused about His Majesty's arrangement, and felt that fighting with the Turks in this way would inevitably lose their cavalry.

"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate to charge and kill like this, our army does not have as many cavalry as the Turks?" Yu Zhining spoke first.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "The Turkic people are wolves, cold-blooded and cunning, they used to fight with the Central Plains, and they are used to being ambushed, so they naturally have a heart, and they will not directly rampage and kill them, but will send one or two thousand pioneers to attack." Therefore, Dahua fought head-on with the most elite cavalry, hurting and angering the Turks, so that the Turks would send more cavalry to charge the next day and enter the ambush range of our army. ”

"But that area, outside the mountain pass, there is no good ambush hiding place!" Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "This time it was not the soldiers and horses who went to ambush, but a special weapon, and it was also my Dahua's killer weapon, and this time it was the first to be used by the Turkic cavalry!" ”

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what they meant. Black powder belongs to Dahua's high military secrets, Guo Xiaoke only knew a little, he thought of it instantly, his eyes lit up, and he showed an expectant look.
