The first battle was over, and the reason why this battle was able to win was due to many factors, on the one hand, Zhao Ziliang took advantage of the terrain and combined with his long-range bow and arrow to shoot the opponent's troops, and then used this advantage to rush into the already chaotic Arab cavalry formation, on the other hand, Aple overestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry he told him, and made several mistakes in the command of the re-formation to cause the defeat just now.

Chu Ge galloped over on a horse covered in blood and arched his hand: "General, there are only one hundred and fifty people left in our army!" The subordinates have asked the soldiers to collect the lost arrows, pick up the lost weapons, and prepare for the next battle! ”

Zhao Ziliang has more blood stains on his body, these blood stains have his own, and there are also big food cavalry, but most of them are big food cavalry, no matter how powerful the generals, it is inevitable to have their hands when they charge into battle, after all, attacks come from all directions, sometimes they are fundamentally annoying, and generals who are extremely sensitive to crises can only rely on instinct to dodge and try not to be fatally injured.

Zhao Ziliang said: "After killing the three hundred great food eaters, we are lucky enough to have one hundred and fifty people left, have the people sent to monitor the other two hundred food eaters come back?" Where did they go? ”

"Not yet, but the eagle is scouting in the air, and there is news that the remaining two hundred cannibal cavalry have just climbed up the sand dunes from behind and are rushing towards us, but because they are all piled up with sand, the marching speed is not much faster than before us, and it should take about half an hour to rush back!"

Zhao Ziliang calculated the time and said to Chu Ge: "Immediately order, let the soldiers take a short rest immediately after collecting the lost arrows and picking up the weapons, and we will wait here for the two hundred great food cavalry to come back, and then deal with them!" ”

"No!" Chu Ge agreed, and then asked, "General, what tactics do we use this time?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The maneuver speed of the Great Food Light Cavalry is very fast, not worse than us, so we do not have an advantage in maneuvering, the opponent's advantage is that it is good at close attack operations, and the individual combat ability is strong, and our advantage is long-distance strikes, although our combat effectiveness in close combat is not necessarily inferior to them, but we should still use our strengths to fight their shortcomings, so that we can not only preserve the living force, but also kill them to the greatest extent!" Keep the distance between each soldier at least one horse's length, so that you can turn around at any time! We will line up here, in three rows, to attract them to rush down from the high ground of the dunes, and when the Great Cannibal cavalry has rushed down from the dunes and come into the range of our bows and arrows, we will obey my orders, and after three rounds of arrows, we will immediately turn around and use the tactics of returning to the horse and arrows (i.e., the Parthian tactic), so that they will not be able to catch up with us, but we will be shot by us incessantly, and as soon as they stop pursuing, we will immediately turn around and chase again."

Chu Ge nodded and said, "Understand, the general is wise!" ”

Chu Ge is a good guard chief, and he is also very capable in tactical execution, especially in the execution of cavalry tactics, he is far superior to others under Zhao Ziliang, which is why Zhao Ziliang often takes him with him.

Under Chu Ge's command arrangement, the 150-strong Tang cavalry rode horses and lined up in three rows after collecting arrows and weapons, with 50 people in each row.

Let's talk about the restriction first, its limitation is that it needs a wide flat terrain to line up such a long horizontal queue, it has high requirements for knights and war horses, the knight's riding skills must be quite exquisite, and the war horse must be able to run in small steps, that is, walking the horse, so that the knight can maintain a stable posture on the horseback, which is of great help to the knight's shooting rate of archery.

In addition, in order to implement the Parthian tactic, it is necessary to attract the enemy army to chase and kill, and the Parthians first used this tactic to deal with the heavy cavalry, attracting the enemy heavy cavalry out of the battle, and their own light cavalry to shoot the enemy heavy cavalry while retreating with high speed mobility. However, once the own cavalry performing this tactic is caught up by the enemy or comes into the range of the enemy's cavalry, it will be miserable.

"General, the other two hundred cannibal cavalry are still ten miles away from here!" The Tang soldier in charge of monitoring reported to Zhao Ziliang with the eagle on his arm.

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment, and said to Chu Ge beside him: "Send someone to hang up the corpse of the enemy's commander, throw their Daxu under the corpse, wait for the other party's men and horses to appear, and then send a few more people to pee on Daxu!" ”

Chu Ge said with a strange expression when he heard this: "General, I'm afraid it's not good to do this, although it is an enemy army, but he finally died as he deserved, isn't it ・・・・・・ for us to insult his corpse like this?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "It's all for their respective countries, the two armies are at war, as long as they can win the victory, they will do whatever they can!" I know what you're trying to say, my purpose isn't to insult his corpse, what's the point of fighting a dead man? I'm going to stimulate the remaining two hundred cannibal cavalry and their leaders! If it were you, and you saw that we were already waiting here, and there were still hundreds of corpses of your companions lying on the ground, would you easily rush down? ”

Chu Ge suddenly realized, took a deep breath and arched his hand: "The general's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and his subordinates are not as good as him!" ”

When everything was arranged, there were many vultures and crows flying in the sky at some point, and these vultures and crows croaked in the sky, their wings fluttering incessantly, bringing the sound of death. Wherever there are dead and corpses, they appear.

Vultures and crows like to eat carrion, but these carcasses have only recently died, and they are still fresh, and fresh things are not necessarily delicious for them, and only when the fresh carcasses begin to decay can they become delicious in their mouths, so they keep circling in the sky, waiting for the right moment.

Despite being mostly the corpses of enemies, the noisy vultures and crows that flutter around the sky and the sounds they make make make no one happy.

"General, they're coming!" Chu Ge reminded.

Zhao Ziliang, who was turning his head to look at the vultures and crows circling in the sky, turned his head to look at the sand dunes on the heights when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw the figures of the Great Eater Cavalry appearing in the place where the Tang Army was originally arrayed.

The Tang army was waiting in formation under the sand dunes, the corpses of the big cannibals were covered with the ground, and the vultures and crows flying and circling in the sky made the big cannibals suspicious, and they stopped advancing and began to set up their formations in the same place where the Tang army had been arrayed.

Zhao Ziliang gave Chu Ge a look, and Chu Ge immediately understood, and immediately sent a few cavalrymen to run under Aple's corpse and pee on the opponent's big chest.

This move was naturally seen by the big cannibal, and the general who led the troops was originally suspicious, but when he saw this situation, he immediately left everything behind, and Chu Gece immediately stepped forward and pointed a spear at the big cannibal and shouted: "Brave bandits, don't dare to show their true faces, only dare to sneak around, and fight to the death!" Look who this is, don't you want to avenge him? If you want revenge, come down and fight to the death, otherwise you will roll back to the Great Food Country with your tail between your legs! ”

Although the big cannibal couldn't understand Chu Ge's words, he knew that it was definitely not a good word, these were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and immediately set the opponent's leading general on fire, and the other party raised his scimitar and pointed forward, and with a loud roar, he led the army down the slope.

The opponent's cavalry is well-trained, not inferior to Zhao Ziliang's subordinates, and the momentum caused by Zhao Ziliang's army rushing down before is not much different, which makes Zhao Ziliang's face change, in order to prevent chaos among the soldiers behind him, he immediately shouted: "Everyone steady, don't mess up, bow and arrow ready-"

When the Great Eclipse cavalry was about to enter the range of their bows and arrows, Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted: "Bow and arrow three times in a row, release the arrows!" ”

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

After the three rounds of arrows were missed, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "Everyone turn around and implement the tactics of returning the horse and arrows!" ”

The order was issued, and all the Tang soldiers wrapped Zhao Ziliang, and all turned their horses' heads in a very short time, because they had been arranged in advance, the distance between each cavalry was wide enough to allow any cavalryman to turn around calmly.

"Run—let go of the arrows!" Zhao Ziliang let out a loud shout, controlled the war horse and galloped forward, while opening his bow and turning around to release arrows at the rushing big food cavalry.

This tactic has been practiced many times, the soldiers are very tacit and familiar with the implementation of the Tang cavalry, the mobility of the Tang cavalry is no worse than that of the big food cavalry, and the range of the bow and arrow is far more than the big food cavalry, so when the Tang army cavalry runs at a speed, it is very difficult for the big food cavalry to catch up with them, but they keep being shot by the Tang army's bow and arrow.

In the process of pursuit, the Great Eclipse Cavalry kept falling off their horses among them, but the Great Eclipse Cavalry was reluctant to give up the pursuit, they thought that as long as they worked harder, they could let the Tang Army enter the range of their bows and arrows, but the Tang Army kept hanging them, always maintaining such a distance, so that they were unwilling to give up, but they always had to bear losses.

The two cavalry chased and fled, and the sky was gray, and the shouts of killing and screaming never stopped.

After chasing for more than ten miles, the big cannibals finally realized that something was wrong, and they realized that they had lost half of their men and horses, while the other party had lost nothing.

The general of the Great Food Leader suddenly remembered something, and shouted in a lost voice: "Parthian tactics? It's Parthian tactics, retreat, retreat! ”

Where can Zhao Ziliang tolerate them to escape, seeing that the other party stopped pursuing, he immediately ordered all of them to stop, and continued to release arrows, and when the other party retreated, he ordered the pursuit again, and shot arrows at the Great Eclipse cavalry during the pursuit.

After chasing first and then fleeing, in the whole process, the 200 Great Eclipse Cavalry kept losing, until the end of the afternoon, all the Great Eclipse Cavalry, including the people who led the troops, were all chased and killed, and the 800 Great Eclipse Cavalry was really wiped out.
