In all cavalry battles, there is a saying that there are ten victories and nine defeats, that is, there are ten ways to win in the cavalry's tactics, and there are also nine methods that must be defeated. The core of this is to be good at giving full play to the cavalry's own mobility, and to be good at mobilizing the enemy's forces for our use, so as to turn disadvantages into advantages.

Of course, Li Yan would not be stupid to take his more than 20 people and rush head-on to the 100-person team opposite, this is not a war, it is a fight, and it is the stupidest way to fight. Although there are also cavalry on the opposite side, the hundred-man team and the twenty-man team, it must be easier for the latter to mobilize, and the building is annoying to fight, there is no formation at all, almost a swarm of swarms, which gives Li Yan the confidence to take the initiative to attack.

I saw that the two armies were about 100 paces apart, and the eighteen halberd cavalry on the periphery were in front, making enough momentum for defense, and the five people in the middle opened their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the excited Lou Fu soldiers on the opposite side, calmly calculating the pace, and as soon as they entered the range, their own arrows were launched. At the end of the round, two or three people fell off their horses.

Lou Annoying people are naturally not stupid, riding and archery is their strength, in the face of this team of twenty people, the arrow rain is relatively denser, but it is not in formation, scattered, and it seems undisciplined. The most important thing is that the eighteen people on the periphery are wearing heavy armor, which is very effective against such sporadic bow and arrow attacks.

At a distance of 100 paces, it can be seen in the blink of an eye that Li Yan did not rush towards the main formation as the other party expected, but when the two armies were about thirty paces, he flexibly commanded the main formation to rush towards the cavalry troops on the periphery of the left flank of Lou. And a few people on his left flank, swept the halberd against the annoying machete of the building, and swept over the waist.

Lou annoying people fight, often with bows and arrows with machetes, long-term grassland life, so that their handicraft industry is not very developed, is to Xiang Changge, halberd and spear such weapons, almost zero existence. In such a close-range battle, the twenty-man squad of Zhao Guo with a halberd in hand was often superior.

Seeing that Li Yan and the others had attacked his left flank, Lou Furen turned around one after another, preparing to surround the team in a roundabout. So the leader whistled, and the whole team turned left, and the head and tail were in unison, almost forming a closed circle, like a large black vortex, covering up Li Yan and the others.

Li Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as the commander of the whole array, he has always maintained control of changes while killing the enemy, as soon as the opponent's team turns left as a whole, he also played a whistle that is different from the annoying building, and the eighteen people on the periphery immediately changed.

The original three-person team has one person prominent, one person outside, and two people inside, forming an acute triangle. The other five small phalanxes also changed formations one after another, forming a hexagonal strange flower around the five Li Yan people in the middle. Li Yan shouted lightly: "Left wing closure, quick!" The entire formation quickly rushed towards the Lou Fu army that was about to close and close.

At this time, Lou Fujun found that he seemed to be surrounded not by a group of soldiers, but by a hedgehog, because you had no way to bite twenty people. The six-man halberd soldiers on the periphery of the opponent are the arrows of this squad, responsible for attacking the city and pulling out the fortress, rushing in one direction. The twelve people on the second layer behind him will be responsible for defending and preventing the enemy from attacking the core of the lineup, and the other will rush forward, dragging the people in front of the periphery back to form an inverted triangle form, so that the people in front can breathe, and then transform into a new triangle.

What makes them feel helpless the most is that the middle five people are completely wrapped in it, and they keep using bows and arrows to greet the Lou Fu soldiers who dare to come to harass, and the archery skills of the five are not weak, and the most important thing is that they are in the midst of the enemy army, they shoot arrows externally, even if they don't need to aim, Lou Furen is also frequently hit by arrows, and Lou Fu's archers are already on the periphery, not only to find opportunities to attack, but also to prevent hurting their own people. Even so, there are many people who have been hit by the arrows of their own people's love, hoping that they can drink Meng Po soup before they are reincarnated, otherwise they will definitely be reincarnated as human beings with resentment towards their own people.

Moreover, Li Yan commanded the people in the small array to run frequently and never stop, because he knew that once he was in the enemy's army, once he rested, it would be a dead end. It was a team of twenty people, like rolling thistles, rolling towards the junction of the two wings of Lou Fu.

Seeing that he was in danger at the junction, Lou Nuren hurriedly beat his horse and moved forward, and it was bound to do a good job of maneuvering with the combination of the two wings before Li Yan and the others. At this time, the annoying shortcomings of the building leaked out.

When Wu Qi founded Wei Wushu, he once said: "The so-called ruler is polite when he lives, and he is powerful when he moves, and he is unstoppable in advance, and he cannot be chased back. To put it bluntly, it is through training to integrate all soldiers according to different characteristics, distinguish between high and low, advantages and disadvantages, make up for shortcomings through formation, expand advantages through adjustment, and more importantly, let soldiers be familiar with their own movement trajectory to prevent soldiers from being confused during combat.

This, and Sun Tzu's "rule the chaos, count also; Courage and cowardice, momentum also; Strong and weak, the shape is also the idea, there are similarities.

Therefore, whether there is rigorous training or not is often the difference between the soldiers of the Central Plains and the Hu people. In the eyes of the Hu people, archery is instinct and does not need to be exercised, and their living environment has created their ability to improve their combat skills in actual combat. However, this skill, when encountering a well-trained army, immediately becomes a straggler, often lacking flexibility and order.

Therefore, when a part of the cavalry saw that Li Yan and the others wanted to impact the junction of their two wings, they urged the horses forward, while the soldiers who were still marching behind often could not get instructions, and suddenly, the new junction had not yet closed the loop, and there was a gap in the opponent's team!

Li Yan felt this change for the first time, and without thinking about it, he galloped towards the gap between the other party. He is the eye of the needle of the entire formation, and as soon as he changes, the entire formation also changes. Compared with Lou's annoying casualness, Li Yan's generals have followed Li Yan's southern expedition to the north for many years, and they are almost the same people who eat and live with Li Yan. They didn't need to know why Li Yan was galloping over there, they just needed to follow him.

And Lou Annoying saw that the direction of attack of Li Yan and others had changed, and the target was the part of himself that was out of touch, and the rear army hurriedly urged the horse to meet the front army, and the front army turned to meet the rear army. The building was annoying, and suddenly it became a mess.

Seeing this, Li Yan waved his right hand left and right, and the six petals of the "Six Flower Array" broke away from the middle five of the guards, and the three teams formed a triangular formation and headed towards the place where the other party was disjointed. Lou annoyed people saw that the other party changed formations again, and wanted to swallow one of them, but this kind of nine-person triangular team, the last thing they were afraid of was to encircle, and they all used a corner as an arrow and rushed towards the opponent's soldiers.

The machete fell head-on, and the person who rushed forward hurriedly parried, and before the other party could react, the two defending soldiers behind cut off the opponent's arm with a halberd. Before he could recover, a Lou Fu soldier next to him looked down at his shoulder again, but he was in general, and was surrounded by the Zhao cavalry behind him with a long halberd, and the Zhao Ren who was attacked was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, pulled the halberd upside down, and smashed the Lou annoying stomach with his tail, and the Zhao Ren who held his arms also jerked the halberd, and then sent it straight out, giving the opponent's war horse a hard blow. The horse was in pain, stood upright, threw the soldier who was holding his stomach off the horse, and began to run. Suddenly, the entire Lou Fu formation became even more chaotic.

Taking advantage of this gap, two nine-person squads broke out of the local formation, and the five-person group in the middle also roared out. As soon as Li Yan's whistle sounded, he turned to the right as a whole, and two teams of nine guarded the five-person group and rushed towards the rear army of the Lou Fu Army.

In the midst of such repeated impacts, Lou Fu's hundred-man team was left and right, and was mobilized by Li Yan's twenty people without a formation, and the combat effectiveness was slowly reduced, not only losing the soldiers, but also making Li Yan and others into a sieve, completely powerless, and their morale plummeted.

However, even so, Li Yan is not an iron man, he can dodge the flying arrows, seeing that his horses and the surrounding generals have already breathed a little, he knows that if the confrontation continues, he will definitely be captured by the other party. And at this time, the person who reported the news just now must have run out for a long time, and his goal of breaking off has been achieved, which is to greet him, turn into a round formation, and roar out of the battle.

The building is annoying this time, you can fight if you want, you can leave if you want to, and you don't take us seriously, after all, we are Hu people, not ordinary tricks, how can you say that you will receive a box lunch. Seeing that Li Yan and the others were defeated, he remembered that he still had arrows, so he hurriedly greeted Li Yan and the others with arrows.

Li Yan and the others are not vegetarians, they rode their horses forward and turned around to shoot arrows to greet them. At this time, there was no saddle, not to mention the so-called Takahashi saddle, and the cavalry only relied on grasping the reins or mane and clamping the horse's belly with his legs to prevent himself from falling when the horse was galloping.

Even under Li Yan's command, riders with this kind of ability are unique, and they can be described as the elite of the elite.

"General, the enemy is in pursuit and in a hurry, and it is not a way to go on like this." A family general rode a few steps and said to Li Yan.

"It doesn't matter, although our horses are very tired, the other party is also exhausted from the random fight just now. What we have to do now is to fight and retreat. If the enemy does not pursue, it will be fine, and once pursued, we will make a small detour and take the temple beam. I think by the time we arrived, reinforcements were already there in ambush. ”

"I see." When the man heard this, he smiled happily, and sure enough, the general was not a person who retreated easily.

Li Yan smiled slightly, but his eyes looked to the east, but he silently muttered in his heart: "I hope my people are ready." ”
