The next day, the news of last night's victory spread in the army, and the whole army was already aware of it, after all, the sound of fighting in the middle of the night several miles away from the camp could still be heard by many soldiers, and those who slept lightly got up and picked up their weapons, almost thinking that the enemy had attacked outside the camp.

"I heard that last night the Turks sent cavalry to attack the main camp of our army, but they encountered an ambush, lost their troops, and killed many people." When a pawn lined up to eat, the people in front and behind him muttered.

"Of course I heard that the news of the victory has spread, and it seems that a lot of people have been killed, and there are tens of thousands." Another soldier responded.

"More than tens of thousands, at least twenty or thirty thousand, the Turks can't just send 10,000 people to sneak attack, I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived, there were two big victories in succession, both saying that the Turks were fierce and fierce, but this has lost tens of thousands of people, and they don't need to fight!"

A slightly older, early thirties-old soldier turned his head and chuckled: "That's our Dahua army, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, you can expect that the enemy army will come to sneak attack, and set up an ambush in time, so that the Turks have suffered many losses, as long as you follow Your Majesty to go on the expedition, you will definitely be able to defeat the Turks, even if they seem to be more than us, but after a few big victories, it is estimated that the Turks will also be reduced, and there may not be many people alive." ”

"Haha, that's it, we're going to be able to break the Turks!" The soldiers in front and behind were all excited.

Such a scene was staged everywhere in the barracks, and the morale was immediately boosted. Before the expedition, some of the recruits were still a little afraid of the Turks, but with the news of the two great victories, it was inspiring and courageous.

At this moment, a lieutenant came over and announced last night's battle report.

"Soldiers, last night the Turkic cavalry came with 20,000 horses, wanting to sneak attack the main camp of our army, once our army is attacked, there will be more cavalry behind the Turks to respond, attack, by then, our army has no formation, empty camp, is likely to be overwhelmed by cavalry. However, His Majesty was wise, and he had already anticipated the enemy's opportunity and laid down a heavy ambush, which led to this counterattack ambush, General Xue Wanqian personally led his troops to chase and kill ten miles, and the Turks fled with less than 5,000 people, and the soldiers were lost! ”

On the basis of reasonable exaggeration, if 10,000 incoming soldiers are replaced by 20,000, and 5,000 escape, then the soldiers themselves will count and behead the enemy to 15,000, in order to boost the morale of the new barracks.

The lieutenant continued: "In addition, according to reliable sources, after the destruction of Jinyang and the fall of Li Tang, General Hou Junji, led 50,000 troops, from the land east of the river, across the Yellow River crossing, is coming with reinforcements, as long as we hold on, block the Turkic army, and wait for Hou Junji to arrive with elite troops, it will be easy to defeat the Turks." ”

Sure enough, when they heard the words of the captain, they all shouted, full of enthusiasm, full of fighting spirit and confidence.

However, some veterans are experienced, but they are not as optimistic as the recruits, because they know in their hearts that although the Turks have lost in the vanguard operation and sneak attack operations, the Turkic army behind them still has at least 200,000 cavalry, which is not a small number, and it will soon be clashed.

Although Hou Junji brought troops to reinforcements, but from the land east of the river, to cross the Yellow River, to the land of Sanchuan, more than a thousand miles apart, at the current speed of marching, at least half a month to arrive, even if he set off ten days ago, until now, at least five days.

Whether it can hold on for five days is the key, infantry against cavalry is a disadvantage, and flesh and blood are needed to make the Great Wall of Steel, which requires many lives to fill.

Soon, the scout sent the news that the Turkic army had temporarily rested for a day because of the failure of the sneak attack last night, and did not rush to send troops to hurry, but planned to take a rest, recover his strength, avoid taking risks and greedy for merit, and fight steadily.

"The Turks need to slow down, rest their ranks first, and then launch an onslaught." Luo Zhaoyun frowned, the barbarians should calm down, and if they make a move, they will increase some threats.

"Our army should not be impetuous, continue to train today, practice formations, practice makes perfect, and test the actual combat tomorrow!"

Several generals clenched their fists, and after listening to the holy parable, they went out to practice the art of war and the soldiers.

There were thousands of people in each phalanx, most of them holding long soldiers, walking with the same steps and shouting heavy trumpets, like a moving mountain, the formation was neat, condensing the momentum of invincibility, and moving forward.

It makes people feel a strong masculine atmosphere, which is the condensation of the soldier's physique and military spirit.

"Roar! Roar! ”

Spears and spears, with shiny blades and cold air, will be held flat at one time, and will be pointed diagonally into the air at an angle, changing the direction and formation, specifically against the cavalry.

In a corner of the edge, there are two heavy phalanxes, all the armor are heavy Mingguang armor, this kind of armor is very expensive, can not be used on a large scale, however, the cavalry and infantry phalanx, have been built some, select elite warriors to use.

Their spears are more like hook and sickle guns, which can not only stab, but also hook and kill horse legs, which Luo Zhaoyun saw from the Water Margin, Xu Ning taught the hook and sickle spear, and Song Jiang broke the chain of horses, which gave Luo Zhaoyun an inspiration, he not only invented the hook and sickle gun, but also planned to use chain horses in the battle with the Turks.

Because of the proficiency of the knights, the knights of the Central Plains are one-on-one, and they cannot compare with the grassland knights, because they have ridden horses and grazing since they were children, and most of the people in the Central Plains are cultivators, without horses, only a few cultivators, and there are few mules and donkeys, and they do not have the conditions for riding and archery.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun plans to equip the heavy armor soldiers with chain locks this time, so that if the cavalry is dead, then the knight will die, but the war horse will not disperse, and continue to rush forward, which can disrupt the Turkic cavalry phalanx and catch him off guard.

At the same time, the hook and sickle is the positional warfare weapon of the infantry phalanx against the Turkic cavalry, the hook and sickle belongs to the combination of the gun and the Ge, about five or six meters long, I believe that any enemy will be helpless when encountering such a heavy long weapon phalanx, the distance of five or six meters is the distance that some light cavalry can not cross, and it is destined to pay a heavy price.

As long as you break the Turks this time, you can not use the hook and sickle and the chain horse at the same time in the future, so as not to be learned by the enemy and attack the shield with the spear of the son.

The next day, after Luo Zhaoyun got the news of the Turkic advance, he also ordered the three armies to pull out the camp, pack up the tents, the rows, and the packages, advance forward, choose the designated battlefield area, and seize the advantageous terrain to fight the Turkic army.
