Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain.

The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low.

Monan, the Heihe River basin south of Yinshan, has a magnificent grassland and is full of vitality.

The Golden River is named after how many herdsmen once found in the river, but this river is also known as the Black River by the Han people. Because the soil of the place where it flows is dark, it is called the Black River, and because the Black River has tributaries, the main trunk is called the Big Black River, and the tributaries are the Little Black River.

The most peculiar thing about this river is that it originates in the mountainous areas of the northeast of Monan, and then flows westward into the Yellow River, which is an east-west convection with the Yellow River, and is a peculiar reverse tributary.

The morning is cold.

In the grassland in September, the cattle and sheep have already eaten a whole body of fat to prepare for the winter. While the grass had not yet been killed by the frost, they were all vying to eat a few more bites.

It is only forty miles away from the city of Khan.

The loyal army led by Luo Cheng crossed the Heihe River ahead of the Turkic Mohe's Ashina Ambi.

Luo Cheng led his troops to line up against the river.

Ashina rode 50,000 and slowly approached.

Seeing Luo Cheng lining up with his back against the big black river, he couldn't help laughing.

"It's really arrogant to dare to fight against the water, this is not to take my Turkic warriors in your eyes."

The Turkic general, the special service Ashnasimo, who had the appearance of a Sogdian Hu, kindly reminded him.

"Mo He's aggressive, dare to fight against the water, that shows that Luo Cheng has courage and self-confidence, and looking at Luo Cheng's past achievements, he has never been defeated since he led the army, so be careful Luo Cheng."

But how can I take it to heart.

"Luo Cheng has never been defeated? It's just a few battles with the Goguryeos, and the Goguryeo people can compare to my Turkic warriors? And I look at Luo Cheng's past records, mostly relying on sneak attacks to win. He actually dared to fight with me on the grassland, that is, to bring about his own destruction. ”

"Please also ask Mo He to be careful, at the end of Qin, Xiang Yu fought against the water and defeated the Qin army. When Chu and Han were fighting, Han Xin attacked Zhao Wang Xie, which was deliberately lined up with his back to lure the Zhao army to attack, and then won. ”

"Hahaha, Simo, you said that you are also old and have led troops for many years, why don't you know, although there are examples of Xiang Yu and Han Xin's great victory in this backwater, but more generals have fought against the water, but they are all failures?"

Of course, Li Simo knew that Xiang Yu and Han Xin were so famous in the backwater, precisely because they lost more in the backwater, but he still had to remind him that Luo Cheng was not an ordinary person.

But he didn't listen to his words at all.

Although Simo's qualifications are very old, when his father Qi's militia was defeated and fled, Simo was supported as a khan by various departments in Mobei, but later Simo saw that Qimin was not dead, so he took the initiative to take people to join Qimin, and he also went to Khan. Over the years, he has been working diligently in front of the special service.

However, from Qimin Khan to Shibi Khan, Simo has never been trusted, and the reason for this is that his father gave birth to him with a Sogdian slave girl, and he inherited the appearance of the Sogdians.

Although in the eyes of the Central Plains, the Turkic Sogdians are all Hu people, but in the eyes of the Turks, the Sogdians in the Western Regions are the Hu people in their mouths, and even have a low status.

Simo was not accepted as a clan because he looked like a hu, not to mention that the Turks were like the mother, and Simo's mother was a female slave, so although he later became a high-ranking nobleman like a secret service, in the eyes of the Shibi Khan brothers, this person was never credible.

is frivolous but also has his capital.

There are not many who dare to start a cavalry battle with the Turks head-on on the steppe.

In the decades of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su once defeated the Turkic army with pure cavalry. It was the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, and the Sui Dynasty's three-way army attacked the Western Turks who had committed crimes.

At that time, Yang Su fought against the Western Turks, with 100,000 Western Turkic troops and 80,000 Yang Su troops.

However, Yang Su abandoned the Sui Dynasty's traditional way of fighting with chariots and cavalry, and used pure cavalry against the cavalry of the conflicting Turks.

In that battle, 100,000 Western Turks were all light cavalry. And Yang Su's 80,000 army, of which the cavalry was only 25,000, and Yang Su simply threw the chariot infantry to the rear and led 25,000 light cavalry against 100,000 cavalry, but the result was still won, not only defeated Datou Khan, but also beheaded more than 10,000.

But this is just one such example.

The Sui army fought against the Turks, basically using the coordinated combat method of chariots and horses, and the outside of the formation was surrounded by antlers, thistles and other things, and the cavalry remained in the innermost.

"Mo He, Yang Su defeated Datou Khan's 100,000 cavalry with 25,000 cavalry, and now Luo Cheng is also the Duke of Chu, but be careful."

Dumb was annoyed when he heard it.

How can there be such a person who repeatedly destroys his own prestige and increases the morale of others?

"Jia Bi Agent, this set now orders you to return to the Khan's Court immediately, report to Khotun in the Khan's Palace, and ask her to prepare wine and meat, and I will return with a great victory before dark."

Ashina Simo left helplessly.

The autumn breeze is blowing and the weather is fine.

Ashina's 50,000 horses were getting closer and closer, and they were already less than a mile away from Luo Chengjun.

Both sides can see each other clearly.

"I can't imagine that there are so many Turkic cavalry in the Khan's court, can we win?"

Khitan Khan Dahe Duluo said with some uneasiness.

The Khitan was in the east of the Turks, and for decades, it was repeatedly attacked by the Turks and had to pay tribute to the Turks.

In the past, the Khitan had to accept the Turkic feud and had to pay taxes every year.

Luo Cheng turned his head and looked at the fierce Khitan Khan, who was an excellent general, but his strategy was only average.

He has been following Luo Cheng's side, and until now, he has not seen the wonder of Luo Cheng's arrangement.

"Do you know why I have to line up here? Or is it a backwater array? He asked.

This is also what Daga Dura has always puzzled, and there is every opportunity to arrange the soldiers and horses forward, and they can be arranged farther away, so that they are far away from the Golden River behind him.

Even if it is autumn at this time, the water of the Golden River is shallow, but the wide Golden River is still a trouble, in case of defeat, it will be difficult to retreat, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?

"I've heard the story of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who fought against the water and broke the boat." The son of Ohga Tara will do.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Well, fighting against the water, leaving it to death and coming back to life, it is indeed inspiring, but this is a dangerous trick, it is best not to use it in case it is done, otherwise it is another story, Zhuge Liang slashed the horse with tears."

"Then why are we still here?" Su Zhi, the son of another Xi Khan, asked.

Luo Cheng looked back at his team.

Behind him were 15,000 cavalry, including 7,000 light cavalry of the Zhongwu Army, another 8,000 Xiqi coalition troops, and about 8,000 or so captives of the Turkic tribes.

Together, there are still more than 20,000 people, but in fact there are 5,000 cavalry not here, especially 3,000 heavy cavalry.
