The two armies were constantly approaching, and the scouts were constantly cruising around, and each other's marches were not fast. The Tang army was handed down by Li Weigong, the traditional Seven Army and Six Flower Array. Xue Rengui led the Chinese army in the center, and the remaining six armies took the Chinese army as the center of the circle and distributed it on the surrounding arc.

In each array, shields were laid out in front, bows and crossbows were hidden on the sides, and Mo Dao followed. The cavalry was lined up on both flanks, ready to launch a sweeping assault.

Not an inch of grass is born in the Great Gobi, which is as flat as a stone, and the wind is raging all year round. Between the rolling yellow sand, more than 100,000 horses lined up in a formation and marched forward like a city wall, and the heaven and earth were full of murderous aura, vast and majestic!

Xue Shao stood on a military vehicle dragging a large military drum, holding a knife in one hand and a knife in the other, his eyebrows slightly sinking at the cloud of smoke and dust rolling up in front of him.

One hundred thousand wolf horsemen, the most elite troops of the emerging steppe khanate, were the backbone of their country.

Xue Shao still couldn't figure out why the Turks would go and return, and spare the most important army in their hands to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army. Even if the Turks win this battle, they will not have much oil and water to fish, and at most they will earn a little fame. But if they lose this battle, it will be a ruining disaster, and the very foundation of their country will be shaken.

- This will definitely not be Yuanzhen's plan!

Xue Shao was extremely sure of this.

After the Gu Dulu uprising, whether it was the strategy of governing the country or the art of warfare, the Turks had always acted in strict accordance with Yuan Zhen's concept of governing the country and the idea of governing the army. Facts have proved that Yuan Zhen is indeed an all-round talent who can govern the army and govern when he gets off the horse.

For the Turks, Yuanzhen is the pillar of the country; For Datang, Yuanzhen is a confidant!

Xue Shaozhi thought about it again and again, and finally guessed one point: the current battle should be the result of a power struggle within the Turks. Mo Si is the general of the army and the younger brother of Gu Dulu. What generals need most is military merit, but since the founding of the Turks, all the credit has been on Yuanzhen alone. As one of the important members of the sweat room, Mo Si is like a wage earner under Yuan Zhen. How could he be willing?

Thinking of this, Xue Shao hurriedly got out of the car, rode on a horse to find Xue Rengui, and said to him: "Old general, if you think of one thing next, I must tell you before the war." ”

"Young marshal, please speak!"

Xue Shao said: "This battle is likely to be Mo Si's personal opinion. Their marshal and mastermind, Ashid Yuanzhen, had already led a part of his men and horses to return to the desert with the spoils of war. ”

"So what?" Xue Rengui was a little puzzled.

"If I were Yuan Zhen, I would definitely not allow Mo Si to fight this battle!" Xue Shao said, "The 100,000 wolf riders in front of you are the foundation of the Turkic Khanate. If they win this battle, they will only earn some false fame. If this battle is lost, the Turks will be in danger of falling into the country. Therefore, Wonjin will definitely do his best to stop Mo Si from fighting! ”

"The facts are in front of us, the two armies are about to fight." Xue Rengui frowned, puzzled, "What is the young marshal worried about?" ”

"Silent sip is not a cause for concern. The only thing I'm worried about is - Wonjin! Xue Shao said, "If after the two armies start a war, Yuan Zhen suddenly leads the army to come to the aid or attacks from behind, our army will be in danger of overturning!" ”

“！！” Xue Rengui's expression changed slightly, he stroked his hair and pondered for a moment, and said, "In this way, I really have to guard against it." If Yuan Zhen really comes to flank the attack, we will not be able to deal with it unless we immediately switch to a two-headed long snake formation. ”

A two-headed long snake formation, as the name suggests, pulls the army into a long snake shape, with generals at both ends, which can be taken into account to prevent being flanked, and the two ends can be dragged at any time to launch an attack or defend against the incoming enemy.

"I am willing to take on the role of another snake, and I ask the old general to agree!" Xue Shao clenched his fists and asked for battle.

Xue Rengui frowned deeply in contemplation, the two-headed long snake formation, the general at the head and tail of the formation must be able to adapt to changes, must have a strong sense of smell on the battlefield and a very high military quality, and his personal martial arts must be quite outstanding. There is no shortage of generals under his command, but it is really difficult to find a general who can adapt to the situation and stand alone!

"Old general, time is pressing, we can't delay any longer!" Xue Shao clenched his fists again, "Please also ask the old general to order a change of formation as soon as possible!" ”

"Okay......" Xue Rengui smiled helplessly, "Please ask the young marshal to lead the old man's relatives to ride Yue, and take the role of another snake head in the rear, and act in response to the camera!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Shao clenched his fists heavily.

The six-sided red banner of the commander of the Chinese army was raised high, and the six-flower array of the Seventh Army immediately changed formations and turned into a two-headed long snake. Xue Rengui handed over all the most elite cavalry units under his command, the five thousand Qinxun Yue cavalry, to Xue Shao, and awarded him the three-sided red commander Daxu, who could command three military horses.

Xue Shao immediately ordered the Yue cavalry to lead the army backwards, came to the end of the battle formation, and set up three big red flags. The three soldiers and horses of the Yu Marquis Army and the rear army on the left and right have all heard Xue Shao's orders so far.

Xue Shao led the Chinese army to leap to the front, becoming the other end of the two-headed long snake formation, and the first to bear the brunt of the silent sip directly in front of him.

The Seventh Army and Six Flower Formations are the most commonly used formation of the Tang Army against the enemy, and the commander sits in the center to command Ruoding, and generally does not personally go into battle to fight. The Tang Dynasty is more handsome, and famous marshals such as Li Jing, Li Tao and Pei Xingjian often use this formation. As for the long snake formation, the main general will definitely take the lead in personally charging and falling, so there are extremely high requirements for the personal force of the main general.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is rare to use this kind of long snake formation that breaks the cauldron and sinks the boat, hits more with less, and is more risky, because the main general is particularly easy to die, which is very easy to lead to the defeat of a war. As early as the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in the era of great turmoil, a group of fierce generals dominated the territory, such a formation was used more. Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie and Li Shimin all love to use this formation, they often take the lead in the charge of the soldiers, and take the first rank of general in the millions of troops, creating a lot of glorious examples of winning more with less!

Xue Shao stood on the horse and held the handle of the knife tightly, looked at the Xue character handsome flag flying above his head, and said in his heart: There are only a few people in the world who dare to use a long snake formation. Xue Rengui, bold!

100,000 Turkic wolves rode and slowly advanced forward. In order to maintain the body of the war horse in preparation for the charge, Mo Si even ordered the riders to dismount and walk.

The wind suddenly rose, and the fighting spirit was flying. A bloody battle is about to break out.

Suddenly, the scout came and said that the Tang army had changed its formation when the enemy was approaching. They gave up the usual Seven Armies and Six Flower Formations, and the whole army turned into a long snake that meandered for more than ten miles.

"A long snake formation?" Mo Si, who understood the Tang Army's deep tactics, was slightly surprised, although he had not seen this formation of the Tang Army with his own eyes, but he had heard all kinds of legends about this formation. Compared with the mediocre offensive and defensive style of the Seventh Army and the Six Flower Formations, the Long Snake Formation is a pure offensive formation that uses fewer strikes and more desperate bets.

"In the Tang army, there must be fierce generals!" Mo Si judged at the moment, "I can't say, it's that Xue Chuyu!" ”

"Xue Chuyu? General Ghost Moon, Xue Chuyu? When the generals around him heard this, their faces changed slightly.

"What bullshit Ghost Moon General? Do your best to make the enemy mighty and destroy your own ambition! Mo Si scolded angrily, "Just one Xue Chuyu can be put down with one arrow, what is there to be afraid of?" Xue Shao must have seen that our army was too strong to resist, so he put on a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, in a vain attempt to win by chance. He also didn't want to think that we weren't those of those small tribes who rushed to collapse and didn't like to use it. This kind of sacrificing our lives like a naughty boy fighting is useless for us to attach to the elite! ”

"Yes!" When the congregation heard this, their confidence increased.

"Listen to my orders - the whole army is on horseback and ready for a surprise battle!" Mo Si ordered loudly.

One hundred thousand detached cavalry mounted their horses one after another, like a black wave rising from the flat ground, constantly surging.

The two armies are about to collide, and each other can already see the vanguard of both sides. Each of the two sides sent an arrow out of line, and each other formed a formation according to the distance of the arrow, and stopped moving.

Xue Rengui was dressed in white clothes and white robes, riding a silver white horse, and standing at the front of the team with a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand. He was followed by a handsome flag envoy, holding a handsome flag with the word "Xue" in his hand. Behind him is the red Daxu who commands the three armies on three sides and his personal retinue.

The two armies stopped and lined up.

The wind whistled by, and the battle flags rolled and the yellow sand rose on the battlefield for dozens of miles. The soldiers on both sides looked at each other's camps, and on the Turkic side was a piece of black cloth and leather armor, and the heads of the sturdy war horses and horses were lined up in a line, and the whole formation was like a black tide covering the Great Gobi, and there was no end in sight. On the Tang army's side, there was a dazzling piece of fresh clothes and bright armor, and the tall shields were tightly arranged in front of the battle, as solid as the city wall.

Mo Si carried a large scimitar with a strange shape, far thicker than an ordinary saber, and stood at the front of the formation. His face, covered with a thick beard, was full of slaughter and coldness. In a pair of eagle eyes, it was as cold as ice and murderous.

Staring at the Tang army camp in front of him, Mo Si slowly raised his scimitar, ready to launch an attack.

At this moment, the shield array of the Tang Army suddenly separated from it, and a snowy horse walked out.

White robe and white clothes, riding a white horse, and drawing a halberd in the sky!

Mo Si's face darkened slightly, and he was startled!

The Turkic cavalry at the front of the line were all taken aback at the same time!

The legend of the "white-robed god general" is well-known. In the northern grasslands, it is even more mythical. In addition, before the battle between the two armies, it was rumored that the Hebei military division of the Tang Dynasty was Xue Rengui, the "white-robed god general". Now there is such a god-looking person in front of the two armies......

100,000 Turkic soldiers, the heart of the army is moved!

Xue Rengui walked out of the formation single-handedly, walked forward more than a hundred steps, and could already clearly see the face of the opposite knight.

"Where is the silent child, go out to talk to the old man!" Xue Rengui raised Fang Tian's halberd and pointed at the opposing camp, and the tiger roared like thunder!

In the Turkic camp, there was a commotion!

Mo Si was even more shocked, could it be! ……

"Sip silently, get out of the formation!!"

In the face of 100,000 enemy troops, Xue Rengui was fearless and breathless, and once again let out a thunderous tiger roar!

All the Turks turned their eyes to their commander - Mosi!

The Turks respect warriors so much, since the generals of the Tang army can be fearless of 100,000 troops and can not be afraid of cold arrow assassination, won't their commanders dare to go out to answer?

It was difficult to ride a tiger silently, so he had to run out of his horse towards Xue Rengui, holding a scimitar in his hand and shouting angrily: "Where did the thief come from, dare to show off his martial arts in front of the wolf riding array!" ”

Xue Rengui looked up to the sky and laughed, suddenly raised Fang Tian's halberd and pointed at it, and shouted: "Ignorant child, do you recognize Longmen Xue Li!! ”

"Longmen Xue Li"!

The four words sounded like a thunderbolt in the heart of Mo Si, and also sounded in the camp of the 100,000 Turkic army!
