The war horses were afraid of fire, thousands of torches were thrown in front of the position, and the galloping Turkic war horses could not dodge for a while, and many war horses stepped on the torches stiffly.

Torches made of pine oil are extremely flammable and have a certain degree of adhesion.

The war horse stepped on the torch, and Rao stepped on some of the flames, but there was still a lot of pine oil stuck to the four hooves of the war horse.

For a while, the war horse that rushed to the front began to lose control slightly, and the Turks on the horseback exerted all their strength to control the war horse, but the effect was very unsatisfactory.

The war horses at the front end are galloping around, galloping aimlessly, and the Turkic soldiers on the war horses have to be distracted to control the war horses, and even the war horses are out of control, what kind of battle are they fighting?

About dozens of war horses rushed to the front of the formation, some of them were just stabbed by the Mo knife that was stuck diagonally on the ground, and some of them ran to the back along the human slit.

Regardless of whether the war horse rushed over or not, the Mo sword soldiers who were waiting for the battle would never allow the Turks to rush over with the war horse.

With a simple three or two swords, the Turkic cavalry who first broke through to the front of the formation lay on the ground, and their bodies still had residual warmth, but they could only subconsciously twitch.

Looking at the miserable appearance of the people in front, the Turkic cavalry in the rear did not dare to be careless, and forcibly controlled the war horse to bypass the torches on the ground little by little.

Although thousands of torches are numerous, the scattered area is also large, and with the technology of the Turks, it is no problem to bypass those torches.

"War horses are afraid of fire, and when they encounter a cavalry cluster charge, if there are conditions, they can arrange a fire field in front of the formation to slow down the impact of the cavalry cluster." Li Yuanji squinted his eyes slightly.

The torches were lit only for illumination and to prevent the formation from being dispersed by the enemy in the dark.

The night battle was not so easy, it was far from being as simple as he imagined, according to memory, at least so far, Li Yuanji has not found any memories of the night battle, even if only once.

In later generations, night battles were nothing more than two situations, flares, or night vision devices, which do not have these two conditions now, so they can only temporarily use torches to make up for their work, and it doesn't matter if they can't see clearly as they can during the day, as long as they can distinguish between friend and foe.

I just didn't expect that my helpless move would bring an unexpected gain.

Ma Zhouqiang endured the disgust in his stomach, and quickly recorded Li Yuanji's words on the bamboo slip, hoping to dilute some of the discomfort in his stomach, and now he found that he was really not suitable for the battlefield, it was not a place for people to stay at all.

"Advance!" Ignoring Ma Zhou's reaction, Li Yuanji waved his hand and made the latest instructions.

The speed of the Turkic cavalry has slowed down, almost at the usual speed, this time is the best time for the infantry to stick up and fight, otherwise when the enemy army bypasses the fire, although the distance is not enough to sprint at full speed, but after all, it is a war horse, even if it is not a full speed sprint, it is not something that the infantry can easily resist.

The herald once again looked at Wei Chi Jingde, the herald was very depressed, King Qi was just a prisoner, and he gave orders for Mao three times and twice?

"Look at me a ball, herald!" Wei Chi Jingde was a little angry, his eyes stared at the herald fiercely and he felt anxious, and if he didn't give the order, the Turkic cavalry in front of him rushed out of the fire.

The herald conveyed the order with grievances, and secretly said that you are the commander of the army, is there a mistake?

'Cross~~Cross~~'

After receiving the military order, there was no need to re-co-ordinate at all, and with a command order, whether it was a sword soldier or an infantry, they were pressing forward step by step with neat and powerful steps.

The military formation of 1,500 people, the momentum of advancing in unison may not be as big as imagined, but when you really put yourself inside, you will realize how stupid your idea is, even if there are only 1,500 people, the momentum that can be caused on the battlefield also shocked Li Yuanji.

'Cross~~Cross~~'

The army array advanced step by step, and the Turkic cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the Turkic cavalry who had just escaped from the fire was even close in front of them, and was faintly ready to charge again.

However, the Tang army's military formation still did not prepare to meet the enemy, nor was it ready to accelerate to rush up and cut down the enemy's army, still taking the same pace as before, everyone looked ahead, even if there was some fear in their hearts, their bodies would not show anything.

"Attack!" Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly came back to his senses and shouted loudly towards the military formation.

Turned his head to look at Li Yuanji, and found that this guy still didn't mean to give an order.

You're so meowy, the old man handed over the temporary command of the army to you, can you be reliable? The enemy is right in front of you, and you're running away?

Li Yuanji looked at Wei Chi Jingde with some puzzlement, and then remembered that he had almost made a big mistake.

Li Yuanji has also been on the battlefield before, but when he went to the battlefield, he was in charge of the Chinese army and was responsible for controlling the overall situation. How to attack? You just need to explain it and there will be a deputy general to solve it.

It's the first time I've really gone to the front line to direct a battle like this.

And he continued the previous command style, as if he had forgotten the combat method of the Tang Army.

The military discipline of the Tang army was extremely strict, just like the situation just now, if the generals in the rear did not give instructions, they had to keep moving forward, even if they rushed into the enemy's formation, they had to continue to walk, not only to walk, but also to maintain the same pace, and the queue could not be chaotic until the latest military order was issued.

In previous battles, the commanders also made various mistakes, such as ordering a sprint when it was time to advance, and ordering a formation when it was time to sprint. But there was no military order when it was time to sprint, and this was the first time in history.

If it weren't for Wei Chi Jingde's order to attack at a critical moment, the military formation would have dared to drive directly into the enemy camp.

Li Yuanji scratched his head a little embarrassed: "What's that, I'm sorry, I forgot that this is not a Chinese army camp......"

"I ......" Wei Chi Jingde's old face was dark, full of embarrassment with a capital letter, if it was someone else, he would have been dragged out and cut down a long time ago, but for Li Yuanji, Wei Chi Jingde still didn't dare, and quickly took back the reprimand, and changed his words: "Since His Highness is not very familiar with the command method of the front line, then the army will be commanded by the old man for the time being, if His Highness has a suggestion, you can put it forward directly, and the old man will seriously consider it." ”

Li Yuanji nodded, Wei Chi Jingde was right, let an unfamiliar person command the battle, and it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs.

Besides, he didn't plan to take over the military power to command from the beginning, but as time went by, with a little excitement in his heart, he subconsciously made an order, and Wei Chi Jingde also handed over the military power to himself by mistake, but he didn't tell himself clearly.

This also caused the current consequence, Wei Chi Jingde and the herald knew that the military power had been temporarily handed over to him, but he felt that the military power was still in the hands of Wei Chi Jingde.

"A team! Kill! On the right side of the battle formation, a commander held a horizontal knife and swung forward vigorously.

"Drink!"

The Mo knife soldiers in the first row quickly swung the Mo knife in their hands out, the slashing action was required, they also went through a long time of practice, neatly aligned, more than a hundred Mo knives were slashed out like this, and the momentum was very impressive.

The nearest Turkic cavalry had not yet reacted, either feeling loose in the crotch, or feeling that it was dark in front of them, either the war horse was cut or they were cut themselves.

The military formation is uniform, and the order is to kill in one team, so the knife can only be wielded in one team, no matter whether there is an enemy in front of it, whether it can cut the enemy after the slash, it must be slashed according to the requirements, and the stability and neatness of the entire queue must be ensured.

"Second team! Kill! "The commander of the second platoon made the same move.

"Drink!" When the first row of Mo Dao soldiers had just swung their knives and had no time to take them back, the second team took a step forward along the previous gap and slashed out the Mo knives in their hands in a different way from the first team.

Only a small part of the Turkic cavalry who had been lucky enough to escape before were able to continue to escape once, and most of them were shot down in this slash.

At this time, a team of Mo Dao soldiers had already dragged Mo Dao to the position of the third row, and took advantage of the gap to raise Mo Dao again and make a move to prepare to swing.

"A team! Kill! ”
