In the dark night sky, the moonlight is gradually shrouded in the night, and the cry of animals makes people tremble faintly.

Fifteen hundred infantry, as if the Yin soldiers were crossing the border, neat, silent, striding in a neat pace, controlling the sound under their feet as much as possible, advancing step by step, the dark night, the night when they couldn't see their fingers, and they couldn't even see their brothers to the left and right.

The war horse was left behind, leaving more than thirty brothers to watch over it, and the breath of a great battle was enveloping the sky.

The first torch suddenly shone brightly, like a firefly in the night.

Torches were quickly thrown into the Turkic camp, and a tent was quickly ignited.

The first soldier to light a torch quickly retreated, then mounted his horse and galloped towards the rear.

There had been an accident before, and the Turks began to increase their vigilance, the soldier had just ridden the war horse, and the Turkic pursuers in the rear rushed to arrive, dozens of arrows swarmed in, and instantly shot the soldier off the horse, and then more than ten Turkic cavalry rode on the war horse and trampled back and forth on the soldier who had not yet died completely, and he was not even in the mood to dismount and investigate.

This scene was clearly seen by the advancing military formation, Wei Chi Jingde's eyes were red, he gasped slightly, and his hands clenched the silver-white horse lance even harder, and the horse lance made of dark iron actually sounded.

The second, third, and torches ignited like moths to a fire, and the Turkic camp was even more disturbed by these thirty torches, and the interior was in chaos.

Most of the soldiers who went on the mission could not escape their fate, because the Turks were already vigilant and realized that there might be Tang troops stationed nearby.

And only seven or eight people escaped, and such a battle loss rate can almost be called the highest proportion in the history of the Tang Army.

The soldiers were all angry, and they couldn't rush to avenge the dead brothers, but the military regulations strictly restricted them, and no one could do so.

The torches illuminated the enemy camp and pointed the direction of the attack for the army.

The officers in the front row quickly gave the order, and the direction of the team's advance was fine-tuned, and in the fields, where the 1,500 soldiers passed, it could almost be described as not a single inch of grass.

"This battle has been won!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yuanji couldn't help but speak.

Wei Chi Jingde was stunned again, but before he could speak first, Ma Zhou, who followed him, preemptively asked, "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

Ma Zhou is a literati, inspired to mix up his personal appearance in officialdom, and he is not interested in military affairs.

But this experience made him realize a problem, if you want to mix well in Datang, you must be both civil and military, and you can focus on one side, but the other side must not be completely abandoned.

This is the current situation of Datang, the inevitable result of the surrounding environment of Datang, and it cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Maybe a single talent can rise, but the hope is very slim.

Ma Zhou also gradually realized that Li Yuanji brought his own reasons this time, and the seemingly dangerous move was not an opportunity for himself? If you can't even endure this hardship, how can you become a master in the future?

solved the doubts in his heart, Ma Zhou also lowered his mentality, this time he is here to learn, just ask if you don't understand, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"There is no military discipline! No sense of war readiness! No strategic vision! Li Yuanji said three in one breath.

Wei Chi Jingde couldn't help but look at the Turkic camp not far away, the whole camp was in chaos, there were firefighters, some scolded angrily, and some were at a loss on horses, what is military discipline? It was perfectly interpreted by the Turks.

The term combat readiness consciousness is also not difficult to understand.

The scouts had already broken into the Turkic camp by mistake before, but this time the thirty scouts still easily touched it and successfully lit the torches.

If it is replaced by any Tang army, even if it cannot prevent the enemy from lighting the torches, at least at this time it should be ready to meet the enemy.

But the Turks did not have such an awareness at all, this is precisely a matter of strategic vision, the camp was touched by the enemy one after another, and the Turks did not react at all, does this not mean that the enemy army is approaching them?

Wei Chi Jingde felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand the person of King Qi, could it be that he really pretended to be before? But why did you give up halfway? With his calculations, it should be no problem to overthrow Li Shimin himself to the throne, right?

As the battle array advanced, Wei Chi Jingde had to retreat from his thoughts.

The Turks have discovered the anomaly here, as a steppe people, with cattle and sheep as the main food, they have long studied a set of ways to eat, and all kinds of livers and the like are not less, so their night blindness is slightly better than that of the Tang people, but it is only better.

The Turkic cavalry of the "Drink ......" brigade rushed out of the camp in a disorderly manner, their eyes drowsy, shouting slogans in their mouths, trying to make themselves more sober.

The Turks were brave, but under such conditions, bravery became the key to taking their lives.

What is needed at this time is not bravery, but a uniform military formation.

The cavalry gathered in twos and threes, which seemed to be a big piece, but countless large or small gaps were formed in the middle, which could not effectively continue to impact the Tang army's array, and the consequence of this was that when the first column of Tang army machetes rushed to the front of the Turkic cavalry, they had enough time to raise the Mo knives in their hands and attack the next group of Turkic cavalry.

Unless there are too many Turkic cavalry, so many that the Mo sword soldiers can't cut it, and there is no longer any strength to lift the Mo knife, but this situation is impossible at all.

"Throw the torch!" Li Yuanji shouted.

The Turkic cavalry rushed out of the camp, the fire in the camp could no longer provide effective lighting, and a night attack did not mean fighting in the dark, but only sneaking in front of the enemy with the help of night, reducing casualties on the way, and launching a surprise attack on the enemy, so that he would be defeated in a short time.

But the Turks rushed out, which meant that the battlefield would change, and the situation would begin to tilt to the side of the Don army.

The surrounding area is surrounded by plains, which is extremely conducive to repeated cavalry attacks, and it is necessary to light torches to illuminate the battlefield around the battlefield to compensate for your disadvantage.

Wei Chi Jingde nodded, the herald quickly issued a military order, and a thousand infantry quickly pulled out the torches on their bodies, lit them with fire breakers, and then threw them out vigorously, forming a huge wall of fire in front of the battle.

It was impossible to stop the Turkic cavalry, but it could illuminate the surroundings so that they would not have to fight in the dark.

"Change formation!" Li Yuanji shouted again.

It was still after Lieutenant Chi Jingde nodded, and then the herald ordered a change of formation.

The infantry in front quickly retreated behind the Mo Dao soldiers, put back the horizontal knife in his hand, took out the bow and arrow from his body, stood behind the three rows of Mo Dao soldiers, drew his bow and pulled the arrows, and waited for an order, and hundreds of arrow clusters would frantically rush towards the enemy.

The first row of the three rows of Mo knife soldiers took two steps forward, and then half-squatted down, the Mo knife was placed on the right side of the body, the blade pointed straight ahead, the handle of the knife was inserted in the soil at an angle of nearly forty-five degrees, and the Mo knife was more than two meters long, which was enough to resist the first wave of the enemy's charge.

The second row of Mo knife hands held knives in both hands, standing on the right side of their bodies, and making a slashing motion.

The Mo Knife Formation has strict requirements, and the main responsibility of the first row of Mo Knife Men is to knock out the enemy's war horses or slow down the enemy's speed.

The soldiers were spaced one width apart, and the second row of Mosamen stood about two positions behind the first row, and when the enemy rushed up, they were responsible for killing the enemy soldiers.

With the cooperation of the two platoons of sergeants, there are few cases that can break through, and the third row of Mo Dao soldiers is also ready, once the person in front is not killed, the third platoon will immediately rush up to replenish the knife, and continue to slow down the speed of the enemy.

Further back, there are ordinary infantry, first using bows and arrows to provide long-range protection for the Mo knife soldiers, and then after the two sides make contact, the front rows are holding horizontal knives and slashing the enemy troops who break through the Mo knife formation, and the back ones continue to attack the enemy with bows and arrows.

In fact, with the same number of people, less than a third of those who could break through the three Mo Dao Warrior defenses were lucky enough, and these people were no match for the infantry behind.
