ps: Today's three watches, time: 9 o'clock, 14 o'clock, 17 o'clock

The winter in Shuofang is as depressed and desolate as ever, with dead grass and fallen leaves, always giving people a feeling of loneliness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the heavens seem to be very face-saving, before the great war, it is rare to have a sunny day, and the sun is shining in the wilderness.

In the open field, 25,000 Hexi soldiers had already set up a position, waiting for the arrival of the enemy......

At this moment, twenty miles to the south, a cavalry of 60,000 was slowly galloping in.

Tuoba rode a red horse, and the cold wind stirred the sheepskin jacket on his body, blowing the rolled wool to tremble slightly.

His body stood straight, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared to the north like a falcon.

All the Xianbei cavalry looked in the same direction as Tuoba, where a formidable enemy awaited them.

For the Xianbei people who have lived on horseback since childhood, they seem to be born to be fearless warriors, who can not only drive away wolves on horseback, but also dare to fight tigers and leopards with their bare hands.

But this time, in the face of tens of thousands of Hexi troops, the atmosphere in the army was solemn.

From Tuoba to ordinary soldiers, they all believe that the current enemy is by no means easy.

Even on the purple-colored faces of many Xianbei people, there was an unconcealable nervousness and uneasiness, and the mount under the crotch seemed to be slightly affected, shaking its head uneasily.

Silence, in the huge array of Wei troops, there was a silence that made people almost out of breath.

After traveling less than twenty miles to the north, suddenly a high flagpole appeared in front of all the Xianbei people, a sun and moon battle flag was waving in the wind, and the orange-red sunlight plated the black battle flag with a layer of gold edges.

Immediately afterwards, near the horizon in front, a group of black pressure suddenly appeared, and it was the Hexi Army that was waiting for it.

The two armies meet! The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a solemn aura instantly permeated the sky over the battlefield.

Tuoba Jue squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the Hexi army opposite, which was even more powerful and majestic than he imagined.

And what shocked him the most was that every soldier of the Hexi Army was wearing a uniform cotton uniform, and there was armor on the outside, so he knew at a glance that it was not a rabble.

On a large field, tens of thousands of Hexi troops were pressed by the black pressure, and the stars were scattered on it, forming a large array like a crescent moon.

The entire Hexi Army was in an orderly formation, with infantry in the middle depression and cavalry on the left and right wings.

Tuoba Jue observed for a while, puzzled by what he meant, and asked the generals around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why did the Hexi Army place the infantry in the middle depression, aren't you afraid that my Great Wei Iron Cavalry will break through its defense line?"

When the generals heard this, they also looked at each other, and the moon array arranged by the Hexi Army suddenly confused everyone, and no one could guess the deep meaning.

"Hong Long has always been well-informed, what do you think about this?" Seeing that no one answered, Tuoba had no choice but to name Zhang Yan.

"The king, the minister can't guess the true intentions of the Hexi army, but there must be a demon when things go wrong, and it is very likely that the Hexi army deliberately laid a trap to lure our army into being deceived."

"Well, that makes sense!"

Tuoba Jue bowed slightly, pondered for a while, and then told the generals: "Later, the Qianghu people will be in front, and you will follow behind, and once you find anything unusual, you will immediately withdraw your troops." ”

"The last general will obey."

"Prepare to meet the enemy."

With Tuoba's order, a long and thick sound of bullhorns came from the Xianbei array.

In the sound of the bull's horn, the Xianbei people let out a roar like wild beasts.

While roaring, many Xianbei people also slapped their shields with knives, and the shields in their hands "crackled".

Knock knock! Suddenly, a drum sounded, and the Hexi army, which had just been lined up, raised their weapons and shouted, with the sound of powerful war drums, drifting on the open field, floating towards the Xianbei people who were about to fight with them in the distance.

The two armies confronted each other from afar, and Wei Shuo looked at the Xianbei people who couldn't see the end of the black pressure on the opposite side, and his face was expressionless.

Since he came to ancient times and led the army to fight, this is the first time that he has set up a position to face the enemy head-on.

In array combat, the two sides fought for the formation, the courage and number of the soldiers.

And the so-called surprise victory, for array warfare, is just some subtle control done in specific battles.

Although Wei Shuo had not systematically studied the study of battle formations, this Moon Formation was created by him and his generals with countless efforts, and it can be said that it was specially used to deal with the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Not long after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it had not yet broken away from the customs of nomadic tribes, so the array was loose, and the relationship between the soldiers and soldiers was not as strict as that of the Hexi Army. The spacing between the riders, the forward speed, and so on are uneven and messy.

"Kang Long." Wei Shuo suddenly shouted.

"The end will be."

"I have a war letter here, do you dare to go to the front of the battle?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Great!"

I saw Kang Long take the battle book, beat the horse and galloped towards the Xianbei people on the opposite side, which caused a commotion among the Xianbei people.

Tuoba Jue's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand magnificently: "Tell me to go down, and let go of the cold arrows, so as not to be looked down upon by the thieves in Hexi." ”

The whimpering sound of the horn, long and long, mixed with the sound of the wind, wandered into the ears of every soldier, making the mood of those who heard it stir.

Tuoba Jue took the battle book and hurriedly glanced at it, suddenly laughed, and when he finished laughing, he suddenly shouted with a finger of the long knife: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and tens of thousands of Wei troops lifted up a cloud of smoke and dust, sweeping from afar.

The drums beat like thunder, trying to shake the clouds. The sword soldiers are like electricity, as if they are breaking through the sky.

The Wei army's iron cavalry had not yet charged in front of them, but the sky-high momentum emitted had pierced the space and directly permeated in front of the Hexi army.

The sound of horses' hooves, like a heavy hammer, struck the hearts of every soldier, making their hands hold weapons tremble with the roar of the horses.

In the past 100 years, the Xianbei people have led their iron cavalry army to the north and south, creating a great reputation.

In the face of the menacing Xianbei Iron Cavalry, the Hexi Army was silent and a little abnormal.

The original majestic sound of war drums did not know when to stop, and the entire large array fell into an eerie calm, like a lonely reef, as if it would be beaten to pieces by the iron horsemen like waves at any time.

Thanks to the well-trained Hexi Army, otherwise this repression before the war alone is estimated to be able to collapse ordinary soldiers.

Wei Shuo's formation this time was called the Qiyue Array, and the main formation was composed of 3,000 chariot soldiers, 6,000 spearmen, 3,000 crossbowmen, 3,000 longbows, and 3,000 sword and shield soldiers.

Whether you can defeat the Wei army in front of you today depends on the performance of the main formation.

And the general in charge of commanding the main formation is Duan Ye, who is an old man who follows Wei Shuo and has rich experience in battle formations.

There are 3,000 iron cavalry on each flank of the main formation, well-equipped and powerful in combat, and the front is enough to block nearly 10,000 cavalry, which are commanded by Wang Zhongde and Fuqu Nancheng.

Both wings are arranged in an assault formation like arrows, and compared to the weakness of the main formation, the two wings are more flamboyant and domineering.

The general reserve of the army was the guard battalion, the Modao battalion, and the heavy cavalry battalion under the personal command of Wei Shuo, with Kang Long as the deputy general.

Compared with the strict Hexi Army, the Wei army's formation was slightly disheveled.

At the forefront of the charge were the cavalry of the original Qianghu tribe, who surrendered to Tuoba, but were unexpectedly regarded as outcasts by him.

The Wei army's iron cavalry swept like a black torrent, and the distance between the Hexi army was less than a thousand steps in the blink of an eye.

The raging waves are raging, and the wind and thunder are collapsing. Tens of thousands of iron horsemen charged in unison, roaring like a sea of mountains.

At Tuoba's command, the army was like one, moving like thunder, and hundreds of steps passed in the blink of an eye.

From this, it can be seen that the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty is already a rare elite division, no wonder it can beat Liu Weichen to the point that he has no power to fight back.

If you want to say that the person who hates the Tuoba people the most, it is Liu Bobo.

Although he had strongly asked to go into battle to kill the enemy, Wei Shuo refused without hesitation.

Wei Shuo didn't want the future guerrilla king to go up to death in vain.

At this moment, Liu Bobo stared at the position of the Xianbei Zhongjun with blood-red eyes, eager to break Tuoba Jue's body into ten thousand pieces.

"Shoot!"

When the Xianbei people reached 500 paces, the crossbowmen began to shoot under the command of the general.

In an instant, crossbow arrows like spears flew like rain in the sky, fiercely covering the rushing Xianbei cavalry.

When the crossbow arrow crossed the sky, the terrible sound of breaking the air shocked the Xianbei cavalry who were galloping, and many people subconsciously lowered their heads and lay their bodies on horseback.

The crossbow arrows that pierced the sky pierced through the Xianbei people's bodies fiercely, easily nailing them to the ground with men and horses.

Only then did Tuoba Jue suddenly say: "No wonder Wei Shuo dares to put the infantry on the main formation, it turns out that he relies on a crossbow!" ”
