Infantry vs. cavalry, this is almost an inexplicable answer, at any time, in any dynasty, the infantry can not achieve a huge advantage.

The Turks who had been repulsed before did not continue to attack, and if they continued to fight, their group of people would be wiped out, so the remaining 100 Turkic cavalry just watched from a distance and followed to prevent the more than 1,000 Tang infantry from escaping.

However, no one thought that they would run away, relying on two legs to outrun the four legs of the war horse, it was simply impossible, there was no need to think about it.

The process of moving the formation was very smooth, although there were Turks eyeing the enemy, but at this time, the disparity between the forces of the two sides still made the Turks dare not act rashly.

The cavalry troops on both sides were still silent, lighting the beacon of the herald, but they failed to get a response, and as the sky gradually brightened, the situation on the entire battlefield gradually became clearer.

The cavalry in the distance was coming from the north, while they attacked from the east, the cavalry on the right was closer to the north, and the cavalry on the left ran to the west, and the three armies happened to form a ninety-degree right angle.

But it doesn't matter if it's right angle or not, the cavalry units that divide the troops have been entangled by the Turks, and it seems that they can't come to support for a while.

Li Yuanji and the others could only rely on their own strength to resist the thousands of Turkic cavalry supported by that wave.

Wei Chi Jingde arranged the troops according to the previous tactics, and this way of arranging the troops was almost exactly the same as before, the front was still composed of Mo Daomen, and the formation had almost no changes, but with the support of the high ground, it could increase the attack power of the troops.

But the increase has been minimal.

"Damn, where did you get so many cavalry?" Looking at a large area of cavalry troops in his sight, Wei Chi Jingde couldn't help but scold.

The Turks came too fast, and many tactics were simply not deployed, and of course, more importantly, the helplessness of the infantry in the face of cavalry.

"That's not to mention 3,000 cavalry, right?" Adjutant General Wang Wu shook his head slightly.

Although they are not scared, it will definitely be a vicious battle, this time they came out in a bit of a hurry, only two hours to order troops, and Li Yuanji selected only three types of troops: Modao soldiers, infantry and cavalry.

At this moment, the cavalry was dragged to other places, just relying on infantry and Mo sword soldiers, it was not impossible to resist the charge of three thousand cavalry, but the casualties would be very large, and it was even possible that after this battle, they could only be forced to return to Chang'an.

"How much does our army lose in this battle to win?" Looking at the dense and large area of Turkic cavalry, Li Yuanji's head spun rapidly.

"It's hard to say, if the Turks are smart, none of us can escape, and if the Turks are stupid, maybe a few percent of them can go back. Unless the cavalry can get out, maybe half of them will be able to go back. Wei Chi Jingde shook his head and said, this is not alarmist, after so many years of fighting, his judgment of the battle situation is also extremely accurate.

"The loss is too great! The king could not accept such consequences. Looking at the Turkic cavalry that was still some distance away, Li Yuanji felt that he couldn't continue to salted fish, even if he desperately touched Li Shimin's bottom line, he couldn't watch these soldiers die.

He took out the secret edict from his bosom, "From now on, the army will be under the command of this king. ”

"No!" Wei Chi Jingde was stunned, but in a reasonable way, he took the secret edict.

"The army formation is divided into three, each in formation, the Mo knife hand retreats into the formation, lined up, the infantry is on top, the front row holds a shield, and the spear is a thorn, when the Turkic cavalry enters the center of the three army formations, the three army formations are quickly closed, stabbing with spears, cutting with Mo knives, and using what kind of method can destroy the enemy. The rest must block the Turks outside, until the enemy army inside is annihilated, and then the outside can feign defeat, open a gap, and then lead the enemy army in, only two back and forth, to say the least, can break the opponent's seven or eight hundred people. In addition, the archers are prepared, as long as they enter the shooting range, they will shoot the king fiercely! Li Yuanji drew a simple formation diagram on the ground.

Wei Chi Jingde looked a little confused, but with the in-depth explanation, Wei Chi Jingde also saw the clues, perhaps for the weak infantry, this formation is the most suitable way to deal with the cavalry.

However, what Wei Chi Jingde didn't know was that there was another way to deal with the cavalry, but that method was mainly based on self-defense, and at this time, Li Yuanji put forward this set of mainly killing and injuring the enemy.

"The command of the military formation is still in charge of you!" Perhaps he was worried that his mistakes would lead to the accidental death of the soldiers, so after arranging the tactics, Li Yuanji consciously handed over the command of the army to Wei Chi Jingde, and at the same time withdrew the secret edict.

Wei Chi Jingde was a little stunned, but finally agreed.

The military formation was quickly divided into three places, each of which was composed of five hundred soldiers, with an interval of about twenty or thirty paces wide, in an inverted triangular position, each military formation was equipped with one hundred and fifty Mo sword soldiers, and the remaining fifty Mo sword soldiers were arranged in the formation to protect Li Yuanji.

The excellent tactical quality of the Tang army was perfectly embodied at this moment, only one order was needed, and after the area was demarcated, whether the soldiers themselves really understood it or not, they would complete the deployment of the generals as quickly as possible.

When the Turks were about a mile away from the front of the formation, the Tang army, which was divided into three military formations, had already been deployed.

The three formations stood there twenty or thirty paces apart, with shieldmen in the front row, spears about two meters long sticking diagonally out of the gaps in the shields, and hundreds of archers in the formation, raising their bows and arrows high and shooting upwards.

Li Yuanji had to be shocked again by the tactical literacy of the Tang army, the government military system did have merit, at least to ensure the strong combat effectiveness in the early Tang Dynasty, but the government military system would not last too long, which has been proven by history.

……

"General, the Tang army has set up three hedgehog formations!" A Turkic general pointed to the formation of the Tang army in front of him and laughed.

"Hmph, is Tang Jun trying to protect himself? To break this useless formation, the Turkic warriors only need one charge. Ashdewu couldn't help but sneer, and also sneered: "Order, prepare to attack, let's go to Chang'an City tomorrow to rob the treasure beauty." ”

Since receiving the news, Ashdewu has led his troops to gallop at great speed, and at this moment the war horses have long been exhausted, and if they do not rest, it is very likely that the horsepower will be completely lost after a charge.

But Ashdewu didn't sip but didn't care about these at all, the Tang Army's hedgehog array was useless in his opinion, so what could he do with hundreds of spears? It's nothing more than a few lives, as long as your hedgehog array is broken and the cavalry pours in, isn't it as comfortable as a fish in the water?

As the vanguard of the Turks' southward march this time, Ashdewu didn't feel that his credit was far from enough, a few days ago, Duan Zhixuan fought with another front army, and it was none of his business at all, and in the end, Ashdewu didn't take a sip of soup and just drank the soup, although the goods that robbed him of the credit were already dead, and they couldn't cover up the other party's credit.

Unexpectedly, the Tang army dared to come this time, or hit the stone with an egg, and Ashdewu didn't feel as if he couldn't find any reason not to kill them.

"Sons, kill all the Tang people, kill Chang'an to rob treasures, rob beauties, General Ben allows you to keep half of the property you have robbed." With a wave of the big knife and a big mouth, Ashdewu roared with emotion.

"Kill Chang'an, rob money and rob beauty......"

The Turkic cavalry, who were originally a little tired, instantly became emotionally high after hearing Ashdewu's promise, and felt that their bodies didn't seem to be tired at all, and they couldn't kill Chang'an immediately, that was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how much richer it was than the small broken city they robbed before?

As for the three hedgehog formations composed of 1,500 Tang troops in front of him, I'm sorry, the number is superior, and the cavalry is the mainstay, the morale is high, and the Turkic cavalry with high morale and high morale didn't take these 1,500 people in their eyes at all, Duan Zhixuan is so awesome, isn't he also killed? As for the banner of the deputy lieutenant Chi Erzi hung by the Chinese army, I'm sorry, the Turkic soldiers don't know how to read, and those who know the characters don't take Wei Chi Jingde to heart, just like that, what can you do if you are the number one general in the world?
