"Chief of Staff, this Great Qin army has already driven out of the city to form a team, shall we go and take a look?" As soon as Liu Xuan came out, he heard the guards outside the tent say: "This army has already driven out of the tent, and it seems that the Gauls on the opposite side are also preparing to come out, so isn't it like a discussion?" ”

"Let's not go first, you go and inform the Flying Eagle Brigade and the people of the Dark Guard to come over immediately, the result of today's battle will be beyond my expectations, let them prepare early." Liu Xuan called the Flying Eagle Brigade and the entourage of the secret guard to make emergency arrangements, the people of the Flying Eagle Brigade accompanied the guard, and the people of the secret guard urgently went out of the camp, but Liu Xuan did not reveal to others what the secret guard was doing in the camp. But at this time, the big war was imminent, so neither the Great Qin people nor the guards around Liu Xuan had the heart to pay attention to these. Observing the battle between two strange countries in this foreign land is a new insight for Liu Xuan and the soldiers of the Tiance Army around him.

"Chief of Staff, Marshal Dodell has asked me if we want to go to their Chinese army to watch the battle." Liu Xuan didn't answer the words of his personal guards, but instead rode on his war horse and said with a smile: "Go back to their Marshal Dodel, just say that our Datang Observation Regiment wants to be with their left wing cavalry, so as not to interfere with his command in the Chinese army." After saying that, he rode away with the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade. The guards behind him also at least followed, and in addition to a few Great Qin soldiers, the cavalry team of more than two hundred people quickly merged with the cavalry on the left flank. Liu Xuan also quickly came to the front of the commander of the left wing cavalry corps.

"Your Excellency, Honorable General, welcome to my Left Wing Cavalry Corps." The commander of the left wing cavalry corps, Luo Men, is a nobleman in his thirties, and I heard that he is still a well-known cavalry commander in Byzantium, but seeing the neat makeup of his cavalry made Liu Xuan's eyes light up, nodded and smiled: "It seems that Your Excellency's cavalry is very imposing, and I believe that the general will be able to show his might in this battle." Liu Xuan didn't brag about this, the cavalry under Luo Man was indeed very imposing, and it could be seen that they were well-trained, and they had fought at least a few battles. However, Liu Xuan is still very strange about the other party's way of fighting, and he doesn't use the cavalry charge, why do he put so many heavy infantry in the Chinese army? The pace was slow, and it blocked the pace of the subsequent heavy cavalry attack. And if it is for the heavy cavalry to open up the situation, it should also be carried out in accordance with the domestic tactics for the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry will open the situation in advance, suppress the pace of the opponent's attack, and at the same time open the situation in advance for the attack of the heavy cavalry, how to hand over this matter to the heavy infantry? At that time, I don't know who will open the situation to whom.

However, this is about to start a war, and Liu Xuan didn't have the heart to ask the other party, and it seems that the generals of Great Qin don't feel anything wrong with Dodel's arrangement at all, so it can be seen that this kind of tactical arrangement seems to have become commonplace on Daqin's side. Moreover, at this time, the Chinese army on the side of Daqin had already been prepared, and the 50,000 huge heavy armored infantry regiments in front of them were endless, the pitch-black armor was like a black wave in a vast ocean, and the spears like a forest were standing forward in unison, and Liu Xuan, who was looking at it, felt that this heavy atmosphere was enough to suppress everyone's thoughts.

"Looks like this hoplite legion has some effect." Because the cavalry on the left and right wings only cooperated at the beginning to prevent the other party from harassing the heavy armored corps from the two wings, the cavalry on both wings was still stagnant when the Chinese army had already started, so when Liu Xuan was observing the movements of the Chinese army, Luomen was still directing his cavalry to replace it with the unique cavalry spears of Daqin's side. However, when Liu Xuan was carefully observing the Chinese army, several soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade were gesturing at the long strange spear with a blunt head in the other party's hand.

"General Rohm, how can the Gauls have such a long hard bow?" Liu Xuan and Luo Men both held the clairvoyant mirror from Datang in their hands and asked.

"Those are longbowmen recruited from England, and their longbows can shoot very far, which is the biggest trouble for our army." There was also a cold light in Romon's eyes, but then he said helplessly: "The English longbowmen were also the official establishment of my empire a long time ago, but the territory of the empire has been lost for a long time, which has caused them to go to the opposite side of the empire. ”

"Marshal Dodel's side is attacking." Liu Xuan listened to the interpreter beside him introduce the deeds of the English longbowmen and nodded, but he was a little puzzled by the coping strategy of Daqin's side, but after the indomitable momentum of the heavy armored infantry advanced, the contact between the two sides officially fell to the actual situation, and countless arrows almost rose into the air quickly when the middle line of the two armies of the heavy armored infantry regiment of Daqin, overwhelmingly towards Daqin's side, and in an instant, Liu Xuan's face changed greatly, and the sharp whistling sound from the air made Liu Xuan understand the power of this hard bow in an instant, this is almost the powerful hard bow of the crossbow on the Central Plains.

"What's going on with Marshal Dodel? Isn't there artillery? Why not let the artillery enter the battle in advance? Liu Xuan's face changed drastically, and at the same time, he saw that after countless arrows landed, the originally invincible heavy armored infantry legion was crushed by this endless arrow, although these heavy armored cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, and the kind of iron armor with a cold light was nailed through in front of the arrows that could be almost as thick as a javelin. Liu Xuan couldn't help but be anxious, the lethality of this kind of arrow was too great, and it was really about to catch up with the ballistae used by the Tiance Army during the previous Central Plains War. And as Liu Xuan turned his eyes to the opposite side, he really saw a ballista similar to the one equipped by the Tiance Army before. In fact, Li Xuanqing's previous pirated ballista has improved compared to the authentic ballista on Daqin's side, and its appearance has also changed, but Liu Xuan still recognizes the two at a glance, and they are even of the same origin. At this moment, Liu Xuan didn't even continue to blame why Dodell was unwilling to let the artillerymen and musketeers participate in the battle in advance, and muttered to himself: "This emperor is too powerful, this powerful killing weapon can actually be designed, and it is not far from the eight or nine designed by the Great Qin people thousands of miles away." ”

"Chief of Staff, Great Qin's artillery has started firing." When Liu Xuan was in a trance, the guards around him began to remind in a low voice, and sure enough, the rumbling cannon began to sound quickly on the battlefield, although the power of the export version of the artillery shells was completely different from that used by the Tiance Army, but the artillery was artillery after all, and the firearms had an unparalleled advantage over cold weapons. But then the scene of being blown up and scattered made all the Tiance Army soldiers present shake their heads wordlessly, and Liu Xuan sighed quietly. Although the power of the export version of the artillery is limited, if it is according to the artillery drill of the Tiance Army, then it will definitely not be the current situation. When the artillery plunged the other party into confusion, their own soldiers could not quickly charge forward, so they could only continue to move forward in the same way as the previous heavy infantry, and even at this moment, the cavalry on both flanks did not receive the order of the commander of the Chinese army.

But then Dodel's side also began to adjust, obviously for this kind of people from noble backgrounds, they also understand the power of Eastern Datang firearms, not to mention that when the Datang Observation Group is watching the battle in front of them, if they show that they can't use firearms, then doesn't it mean that they are incompetent? But when the crackling sound was on the battlefield, all the soldiers of the Tiance Army shook their heads again, Liu Xuan couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and rode his horse to Romon, and said: "General Romon, there is no great use for letting the musket team fight at this time, and placing the musket team in the middle of the heavy infantry regiment, how is this arranging the troops?" Lined up to get shot? What if the Gauls didn't care to risk their lives? In assisting those English longbowmen, do you think that once the phalanx of hoplites on the front line is broken, then it will not collapse directly? ”

Liu Xuan's words made Luo Men laugh and said, "Your Excellency General, don't worry, if the Gauls charge forward, my cavalry corps will definitely trample them into pulp." ”

"Alright then, I'll take a look first." Liu Xuan seemed to have understood at this time, so he stood beside him in silence, staring at the battle situation in front of him and thinking about his own thoughts. This Great Qin people don't have any rules and regulations at all to fight, so the battle is still the strength of both sides and the courage of the soldiers, even if there is an advanced firearm to assist in this use, wouldn't it be a pearl in the dust? If this is the case, then why was the navy able to win successive battles on the southern front, and broke the combined forces of Athens and Macedonia several times, could it be that the navy used different tactics from the army?

Liu Xuan couldn't think of this problem clearly for the time being, but at this time, the performance of the Great Qin Army was clearly seen from the reaction of the Gauls, and the Gauls almost quickly adjusted their deployment according to Liu Xuan's orders, although they were caught off guard by the artillery, but the Gauls quickly adjusted, and the endless heavy armored cavalry began to walk around the ranks of the English archers in a neat pace, and the retreating English archers suddenly quickly moved forward, keeping up with the pace of the heavy cavalry, Countless archers quickly tightened their longbows, and the arrows were overwhelming and came towards Daqin's infantry phalanx without money. And Daqin's musket team seems to be firing their guns forward one after another, and the rate of fire of the breech guns is slow, but if it is according to the three-stage combat method implemented by the Tiance Army before, this will definitely not have such an accident. It can be seen that the Great Qin people used the musket team as a long-range support force, no wonder Liu Xuan didn't see the formed archers in the Great Qin army, and they used it like this? But when Liu Xuan saw that the other party only had twenty or thirty thousand musket teams, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Your Excellency General, you can stay here, I will lead the charge of the team." At this time, Luo Men gave Liu Xuan a nondescript military salute, and then whistled, and the huge cavalry army around him began to suddenly accelerate forward.

"This is to use the lives of cavalry to stop the other party's pace." Liu Xuan sighed slightly and didn't stop the other party, but now if the cavalry on both wings is not up, then there will be nothing that can stop the opponent's offensive. But fortunately, Dodell did not let the light cavalry directly block the opponent's heavy cavalry, but let the two wings go out in advance to carry out harassment tasks and disrupt the opponent's flank and rear.

"This is going to be a tough one-on-one confrontation, the heavy armored cavalry has finally begun to fight one-on-one, but I am afraid that these tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry will become cannon fodder." Liu Xuan shook his head, and didn't want to say much about this magical adjustment, just stood in place and watched the changes in the situation on the battlefield. After the cavalry on both flanks stepped forward to harass, the Gauls' position was paused, and it was obvious that the cavalry stepped forward to have an effect, at least to slow down the pace of the opponent's attack, and to buy time for Dodel to mobilize the heavy cavalry near the Chinese army to participate in the battle, and the continuous charge of the heavy infantry phalanx at this time, regardless of death, also achieved certain results, but the rain of arrows one after another still caused heavy casualties to both the heavy infantry and the musketeers caught in the queue. To do this, Dodel had to have the artillerymen fire more and at the same time, jump the musketeers out of the line and shoot forward from behind. However, Dodel obviously did not know the characteristics of the musket, and if the breech gun was used purely as a long-range support force, it would be even inferior to the opponent's English archers in addition to range and power. The bow and arrow can at least be curved, and can shoot the enemy through the queue of their own people in front of them, but the breech gun does not have this characteristic at all. Therefore, although the casualties of the musketeers were reduced, the musketeers, which were still able to continue to inflict casualties on the Gauls, were completely useless at this time. Obviously, all the Great Qin generals, including Dodel, were essentially still stuck in the era of cold weapon warfare, and they didn't know how to use this powerful firearm on the battlefield. At least in Liu Xuan's eyes, the generals of the Great Qin Army, including Dodel, didn't know how to use it.

"It seems that the secret guards should be asked to find out how Great Qin's navy uses firearms, and how the big cannibals use firearms." Liu Xuan's muttering was not heard at this time, but the battlefield changed again at this time, when the heavy armored cavalry of the Gauls continued to trample on the phalanx of the heavy armored infantry of Great Qin, the heavy cavalry of Great Qin also came around from both wings, so that the confrontation between the heavy armored cavalry that Liu Xuan had seen for the first time in his life officially began at this time. Compared to the Gauls, it was a fierce battle for a long time, and Daqin finally took the lead this time, and the speed of the Daqin heavy cavalry that charged from a distance accelerated to the extreme, and the moment after rushing up, the opponent was directly blinded, and at this time, Dodel's horn was also very fast, and the defeated heavy infantry was regrouped by the generals of the front line at this time and then executed a countercharge, following the heavy cavalry to launch a counterattack.

"Chief of Staff, shouldn't the musketeers be brought out at this time and regroup to attack from the flanks? Assist the cavalry on both flanks to quickly open up the situation, and only in this way can you quickly win the fighter. At this time, the guards came to Liu Xuan's side, and it was obvious that the guards beside him also saw it.

"Anyway, Daqin, isn't it that he has regained the upper hand." Liu Xuan said with a smile: "If your hands are itchy, discuss it with the Flying Eagle Brigade and then rush up, remember not to rush too deep, and you have to enter from the left flank, you know?" Liu Xuan took a deep breath and sent the guards around him away, and his face continued to change after that.
