Winter came early, but the snow did not continue to fall, and in the following days, the weather was clear again.

Since Han Sui had already led the army to arrive here, coupled with the early warning of this snowflake, he didn't want to spend any more time with Yan Xing's Hedong army, and after the army had recuperated in a few days, he directly sent an envoy to Yan Xing to make an appointment.

Yan Xing also responded without hesitation.

He also didn't want to confront Han Sui, Yan Xing wanted to hit Han Sui, the biggest enemy in Kansai, in this battle, and this was not only to stabilize the current situation in Guanzhong as soon as possible, but also to create an opportunity to enter Longyou and recover Yongliang in the coming year.

If he couldn't inflict a heavy blow on Han Sui as soon as possible on the Guanzhong Plain, which was conducive to his own cavalry, then when he arrived in Longshang in the future, in the face of the Qianghu mountain cavalry under Han Sui's command, Yan Xing was only afraid of his own soldiers and horses, and he would have to pay a heavy price several times more.

Before the decisive battle, Xun You had already helped Yan Xing plan two strategies: "sufficient food" and "strong soldiers".

"Sufficient food" is to win the hearts of the people by eliminating the children of the famous clans in Guanzhong as Pengshi and Zuo officials, and use their connections to raise food for the Hedong army on the spot.

Although there have been endless wars in Guanzhong in recent years, the mighty dock fort still has grain and grass after all, and with this large source, it can greatly alleviate the transportation pressure in Hedong, and ensure the military rations of the Hedong army for short-term operations.

Of course, this kind of thing requires a famous person like Xun You, as well as a talent like Du Ji who was born with the surname of Sanfu, and a child of a wealthy family like Zhang Ji who knows the feelings of the people of Sanfu.

Otherwise, it is just a way to provoke a backlash from the people of Sanfu.

As for the "strong army," it is to form a huge advantage on the battlefield in a short period of time, and then use this large advantage to destroy the withering and decay and sweep the whole army.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Hedong army to achieve a real "strong army", and Jia Xu's "division of forces" has been implemented among the enemy army, so Xun You's suggestion is to stage another "Tianji horse race" on the battlefield: the above donkey against the middle donkey, the middle donkey against the lower donkey, and the lower donkey against the upper donkey.

Han Sui's subordinates can be divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower, Shangsi is a trilogy composed of Han family children, guests, and disciples, with excellent armor, combat power and loyalty; Zhongsi is a tribe composed of powerful soldiers in Jincheng, Longxi, and Wudu, they prepare their own armor and form a tun for battle, and their combat power and loyalty are not as good as the Han family's tribe, but the clansmen restrain each other and advance and retreat together.

The last of them were the Qianghu tribes, who were outnumbered, brave and fierce, but their ranks were loose and scattered, and they were actually the most unstable factor in Han Sui's army.

The Hedong army is also strong and weak, and the strongest combat power is naturally the 6,000 cavalry led by Yan Xingqin, all of which are composed of well-armored and battle-hardened veterans. The second is Duan Xuan's Western Army, which is composed of Hongnong soldiers and Hedong soldiers, among which there are not a few elite soldiers and veterans.

The weakest is the army of Ganling, they are composed of new soldiers recruited from Hedong and Hanoi, Qianghu Yicong from Shangjun, and Ma Teng's army who surrendered.

Therefore, according to Tian Ji's horse racing method, Yan Xing's Chinese army cavalry will be used as the main force to fight against the Qianghu tribe under Han Sui's command, and Duan Xuan's expeditionary army will deal with the powerful troops of Jincheng, Longxi, and Wudu, and the Ganling army will resist the attack of Han Sui's Jincheng soldiers and horses.

However, although the people and horses of Hedong are good at fighting, Han Sui's army is also a strong army in Liangzhou, and Han Sui himself is a veteran of the battlefield, and the military strength of the two sides is equal, this is destined to be a dignified battle!

···

On the day of the decisive battle, the cold day hanging above the blue sky also carried a bit of harshness.

Han Sui's army entered the Chaoshi, poured out, rode men and horses, and went straight to the plateau where the Hedong army garrison was located.

Yan Xing also lowered the whole army, facing the northwest, with his back to the plateau, beating drums and blowing trumpets, shaking the order flag, and began to arrange the formation.

Before Han Sui marched into Taiwan, he had already divided a group of men and horses to monitor the defenders in Huaili City, and he and Han Chang, Cheng Gongying and other generals personally led nearly 20,000 Han family troops and elite Qin Hu soldiers as the middle army, with Li Piao, Tian Le and other generals leading nearly 10,000 powerful troops as the right wing, and more than 10,000 cavalry from the Qiang and Hu departments as the left wing, and ordered Yang Kui and Jiang Shi to lead 5,000 Qianghu men and horses as the front rejection, making an active offensive posture.

At this time, the two armies faced each other, as the two generals Yang Kui and Jiang Shi, who refused in advance, saw that the Hedong army was also divided into multiple phalanxes, waiting for work, spreading horizontally, and facing the northwest, forming an oblique formation.

"Oh, the enemy is facing northwest and has set up a diagonal formation?"

As soon as Han Sui heard the report, his eyebrows were raised, and after thinking about it, he beckoned Han Chang and Cheng Gongying to approach, and ordered the sergeant to drive the chariot he commanded to fight first.

"Looking at its banner, the enemy's middle army is Yan Xing's Daxu, the left wing is Duan Xuan's general Zhengxi banner, and the right wing of the banner is mixed, including the Hedong Army, Ma Teng's Army, and Qiang Hu Yicong, which should be the army brought by Yan Xing's general Gan Ling from the left Feng Yi."

Han Chang's eyesight was very good, standing on the chariot and pointing to the flags of the various armies that had been detected in advance, and he came to Han Sui one by one.

Han Sui nodded, but he didn't care, and instead looked at Cheng Gongying, a henchman who boarded the car together and was standing beside him, and asked:

"You see, what is the purpose of this oblique formation laid by the Hedong Army?"

Cheng Gongying stood out under Han Sui and became Han Sui's confidant. Hearing Han Sui's words at this time, he did not rush to answer, but raised his eyes and looked at the enemy formation and pondered seriously.

Sun Tzu's "Military Struggle" emphasized that "if you don't invite the banner of righteousness, don't hit the dignified Chen", the two armies fought against each other, seized the advantageous terrain in advance, and formed a targeted formation, which has been the general knowledge of soldiers fighting with soldiers from ancient times to the present.

Sun Tzu's descendants, who are also masters of the art of war, summed up the ten formations of "square, circle, cone, goose, hook, Xuanxiang, sparse array, several arrays, fire arrays, and water arrays" according to different situations.

In the eyes of laymen, these formations seem to be mysterious and mysterious, and it is difficult to spy on the doorway, but in the eyes of Cheng Gongying, who knows military affairs and is good at actual combat, it is just a change in the combination of horizontal and vertical columns.

The horizontal team is conducive to the deployment of troops, and the vertical column is conducive to scheduling and moving, and among the ten major formations, the relatively complex formations such as the wild goose line, the hook line, and the Xuanxiang line cannot escape this trap, and the art of war is nothing more than to combine the two in an orderly manner to better coordinate and give full play to the advantages of the two.

Liangzhou soldiers are constantly fighting and wolf smoke is everywhere, and Han Suijun can overwhelm the heroes in many reckless and heroic battles, and of course, he is also good at using formations to better play the combined advantages of his own cavalry and foot soldiers.

In the cool land, the simple and common riding formation is nothing more than "two horses sandwiched by one step" and "two steps sandwiched by one ride".

"Two cavalry and one step" is to form a formation of infantry as a regular soldier, disperse the cavalry as a surprise soldier on both wings, use the infantry regular soldier to fight with the enemy, and use the cavalry as a strange soldier to circle around the rear, so as to achieve flank attack and outflanking and other tactics to win.

"Two steps and one horse" is to gather the elite cavalry into a group, scatter the light infantry on both sides, and the light infantry either harass or feints, creating an opportunity for the elite cavalry group to break through the enemy army, and then the elite cavalry takes the opportunity to move and break into the enemy formation, and the light infantry follows closely, expands the results of the battle, breaks through the enemy formation, and ends the war in one fell swoop.

Although Han Suijun's Chinese army, the left flank, the right flank, and the front cavalry were all combined formations, they still belonged to the "two cavalry and one step" cavalry tactics of "two horsemen and one step".

In front of him, the Hedong army treated the enemy with an oblique formation, although it seemed that it was not among the top ten formations, but it did not cause Cheng Gongying too much surprise, and after a quick thought, he said in a deep voice:

"There are not enough attackers, but there are more defenders. The enemy's back is on the plateau, and he has already occupied the favorable terrain, and he is waiting for work, so he can make relative adjustments to his own army formation according to the army formation of our army. Now it has suddenly changed its formation, facing the northwest, and is lined up in an oblique formation, but I am afraid that it is aimed at the right wing of our army! ”

Cheng Gongying didn't say it directly, but Han Sui and Han Chang knew very well the meaning of his words.

Han Sui's army lined up in front of the west and east, while Yan Xing's army faced northwest and lined up obliquely, targeting the right flank of Han Sui's army.

The right-wing men and horses are the powerful troops led by Li Piao, and Yan Xing is the Yunwu Yan family who was born in Jincheng, once the two armies fight in the current formation, the right-wing men and horses of Han Sui's army are undoubtedly the first to engage the enemy.

If there is a new traitor who suddenly turns against each other, I am afraid that before the two armies have a full-scale fierce battle, the right wing of Han Sui's army that first received the enemy will be the first to be in chaos, and when the Hedong army will ride out together, it will be possible to break the right wing of Han Sui's army, break the enemy's arm, and take advantage of the situation to sweep the whole army of Han Sui.

After listening, Han Sui groaned and stroked his beard, but Han Chang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Han Sui for his life and said:

"My lord, please go to the right flank to supervise the army, there are not many people and horses, only a thousand cavalry!"

Han Sui turned to Han Chang when he heard the sound, looking at the excitement between Han Chang's eyebrows, Han Sui, who was scheming, smiled coldly, how could he not see Han Chang's thoughts.

Han Chang couldn't wait to use this name to seize the lead as a supervisor and snatch the command of the soldiers and horses of the right-wing Li Biao.

"No need, I've already arranged this."

"Order the whole army, turn around, face southeast, and attack the enemy in an oblique formation!"

After Han Sui rejected Han Chang's request, he looked at the military formation of the Hedong army again, and then gave an order in a deep voice.

The guards around the chariot hurriedly galloped out, and the general's order was conveyed to all parts of the army.

Then, the horn sounded in the military formation of Han Sui's army, and the dense spears were raised like a forest, and the army formation began to slowly turn around like a huge beast, pressing the whole army head-on to the enemy formation.
