The two armies fought fiercely, the place of battle was only four or five miles away from the forbidden army camp, and the three battlefields were successively plunged into a melee, the sound of the battle shook people's eardrums, the sound of fighting rushed to people's brains to heat, wisps of smoke and dust gathered into a mass and spread more than ten miles around, and Wanruo was three camp cities.

The forbidden army of 50,000 soldiers and horses is half of the horse, facing Hexi and Xiazhou, the horse army has almost poured out, and is still at a disadvantage in strength. On the two wings of the forbidden army's infantry formation, there are only a few hundred thousand elite horsemen, and most of them are palace guards.

"The thief army sent the horse army out of the camp again, where do you want to go?" Sang Weihan looked at the enemy troops rushing out of the camp, his eyes flashed with thought, "If you want to reinforce the other side's horse army, then you can send all of them from the beginning, if you look at it, their goal is to be our army's infantry formation." ”

Li Congjing didn't speak, and he turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the officials and junyan behind him, just calmly watching the battlefield. The emperor has been doing it for a long time, Li Congjing's habits will inevitably change, don't say what you don't need, don't react when you don't have to, this is just the basic requirement for the lord to maintain his majesty.

......

Shi Jingjiao stared at the battlefield, his eyes moved with the second horse army, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, "The so-called imperial court forbidden army, strong soldiers and strong horses, well-armed, if the two sides fight hard, although I have the advantage of troops, in fact, I can't take half of the advantage." At present, if our army wants to win, it must attack the shortcomings of the other with its own strengths. Our army is brave and good at fighting, and the number is more than the enemy's, at this moment, the best tactics are to send an advance to lure the enemy horse army into battle. After entangling the enemy's horse, his foot soldiers will be defenseless, and I can attack them with my fine horse. ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin sneered: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty forbidden army is 200,000, and the soldiers and horses in Lingzhou City in front of me are only about 50,000. ”

Du Lunlujia sneered: "I heard that when the Tang Emperor unified the army to fight, he was invincible, so he was able to unify the Tang land." Such a feat will inevitably fuel its arrogance, so that no one in his eyes will not take the heroes of the world in his eyes. This time, Emperor Tang led the army to advance lightly, and we should teach him a lesson. ”

When the generals behind the three of them heard this, they all echoed it, and there were many who threatened to destroy the Tang army and capture the Tang Emperor alive.

......

Seeing that the enemy's follow-up horse army was dispatched, bypassing the three fierce battlefields, and coming straight to the infantry array, and there were more than 10,000 people, Sang Weihan was unscrupulous, but instead said abruptly: "My forbidden army is elite, with one as ten, in the infantry array, there are countless strong bows, and the thief army and the horse army want to break my formation, which is tantamount to a fool's dream!" ”

Not long after the words fell, the Xiazhou horse army had already arrived in front of the infantry array, and the forbidden army phalanx, which had lost the elite cavalry guard, did not panic at this moment.

In the middle of the building, Meng Ping stood in the wind, his expression solemn and his eyes sharp.

Due to the need to guard the camp being built, the large array of foot soldiers was also divided into three parts. The military array where Meng Ping is located is the front military formation in the shape of a zigzag, and it is also the military formation with the most soldiers, with nearly 10,000 people, with iron walls in front of the formation, and guns and spears in the formation.

The Ma army of Wanxia Prefecture galloped with billowing smoke and dust, aiming at the main formation where Meng Ping was. At the end of the day, he did not collide head-on with the military formation, but split into two in front of the military formation and rushed in a roundabout way to both sides.

The direction of the diversion of the Xiazhou horse army has not yet reached the range of the bows and arrows of the infantry array, and it is the archers who were waiting in the previous formation, and they are useless at this time.

After the diversion, the Xiazhou horse army detoured back to the two flanks of the infantry array, and then the cavalry immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at the infantry formation. In an instant, sharp arrows flew out one after another, like a river hanging in the air, and shot into the infantry array.

The rain of arrows flowed into the array, the sound of ping-pong was endless, and the muffled snorts and screams suddenly broke out in the phalanx of foot soldiers, and many soldiers fell one after another.

The phalanx formation, the center of gravity is in the front, and the flank defense is weak, which is also the reason why the phalanx needs elite cavalry to guard the two wings, not to mention the rear formation, which is the direction in which the soldiers are facing backs.

When the Xiazhou horse army was coming, Meng Ping on the building car received Li Congjing's military order, and he had already drawn his sword out of the sheath and shouted the order: "Round formation!" ”

The phalanx attacks, the circle defends, the phalanx is heavy, and the circle is seamless. In the sound of the drums, the large formation of foot soldiers quickly changed formations, the soldiers' footsteps were either small or wide, all of them were hurried, the military boots stepped on the smoke and dust, and the ground trembled. The outer soldiers approached each other, and the inner soldiers ran vertically and horizontally, shields interspersed with the front, and spears followed closely behind. The outer soldiers gradually formed an arc, the lines were formed first, and then the layers progressed inward, and the internal soldiers ran outward, forming circles from time to time, such as the spreading of the waves in the lake.

When the forbidden army foot soldiers changed formations, the Xiazhou horse army was still in the gallop to release arrows, they walked around the formation, the sound of horse hooves roared non-stop, the arrow rain was endless, the forbidden army foot soldiers who were running and moving, sometimes someone was hit by an arrow, if the sharp arrow pierced the armor or hit the vital point, they screamed and fell to the ground.

If the horse army did not rush into battle, they would mostly run around the formation and shoot the infantry with bows and arrows. If the infantry advances, the horse army retreats, and the infantry retreats, the horse army advances, and the infantry stops, and the horse army does not stop firing arrows. The mobility of the infantry army is not as good as that of the horse army, and it can only be beaten passively.

But there are no absolutes in the world, and if the infantry army is strong in bows and arrows, the horse army will also suffer. In the past, Li Ling fought 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Huns with 5,000 foot soldiers, and he could inflict great damage on the enemy, relying on a strong bow and crossbow.

At present, the forbidden army has arrived, the formation is in a hurry, and the strong bows and crossbows have not been in place, so they cannot form an overwhelming advantage, but the bows and crossbows carried by the soldiers should not be underestimated.

After the formation change was completed, Meng Ping held his knife and shouted: "The bow and crossbow are in place!" ”

In the circle array, in addition to the shields and spears on the edge, there are soldiers with bows and crossbows.

Seeing that the bow and crossbow were in place, Meng Ping shouted again: "Shoot, bow and crossbow in unison!" ”

The arrangement of the bow and crossbow has its own arrangement, and needless to say, under the specific leadership of the military academy, the infantry army began to counterattack. Layers of arrow rain flew out from the military formation, and when it rose into the air, it also formed an arc, shooting at the Xiazhou horse army running outside the formation one after another.

The bow and crossbow of the forbidden army were unstoppable, and the horse army's defense was not as good as the foot soldiers, and they were attacked by a rain of arrows.

As a result, the two armies shot at each other, arrows rained back, soldiers fell one after another, the sound of strings shook the sky, and blood stained the territory.

Seeing this, Sang Weihan said to Li Congjing: "Although our army's strong crossbow is not in place, but the forbidden army has improved its armament for more than ten years, the strength of the bow and crossbow is no longer comparable to the thief army, and the armor is thick, the thief army wants to take advantage, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, the two armies shoot each other, and our army is bound to win." Although the elite cavalry of our army is not as many as the thief army, they are all elite, especially the five thousand heavy cavalry are even more battle-breaking soldiers, and it will not take long to defeat the thief's horse army. ”

Speaking of this, Sang Weihan couldn't help but praise him, "In the world, only the forbidden army can have such combat power, and this is all Your Majesty's foresight!" ”

Li Congjing waved his hand and signaled that Sang Weihan didn't need to say much.

It's not that he's pretending to be a gesture, but that he's been refining the forbidden army for so long, and he's already heard a lot of similar words, so he doesn't care.

Li Chongmei, Zhao Pu and others saw that the emperor was so light and light, and they felt more and more that the emperor was unfathomable, and the awe in their hearts became stronger and stronger.

......

The battlefield has been slaughtered by several regiments, and tens of thousands of people have thrown themselves into the battlefield, and the momentum is as great as wanting to turn the sky upside down.

Du Lun Lujia first showed a look of dismay, "The thief army is brave and brave, and the horse army of Ge Diyin Khan is afraid that it will not be able to support it, right?" ”

The two armies fought fiercely in three places, and in the middle were the Janissary Heavy Cavalry and the Uighur Horse Army, the former of which was so strong that the Uighur Horse Army was already showing its weakness.

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin snorted coldly: "In the battle of Wenchi, Ben Khan knows that the thief army and the horse army are strong, how can there be no way to deal with it?" Luga Khan is optimistic! ”

As he spoke, he saw a sudden change in the rear of the Uighur horse army, and the cavalry galloped left and right, revealing logs bound by ropes between the horses, and iron thorns were planted all over the logs. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than a thousand logs, which are magnificent, and as the cavalry gallops, the logs roar forward in the smoke and dust, and its momentum is terrifying.

"No matter how capable the thief army and the horse army are, can the horse's legs and feet be made of iron? Touching Ben Khan's rolling logs, keep them so that their feet are cracked and their legs are broken! Yao Luo Ge Diyin's eyes flashed like a hungry wolf, his expression was arrogant, and his eyebrows were rampant and untamed, "When Ge Ah was about to return, Ben Khan already knew that the cavalry of the thief army was strong and strong, and it was beyond my ability to compare, so what? The decisive victory on the battlefield depends not only on who is strong, but also on the way to respond to the enemy. In the world, how can there be a division that wins a hundred battles and has no weaknesses to follow? ”

Shi Jingjiao said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless examples of winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak, which is naturally not unreasonable. ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin glanced at Shi Jingjiao, "My Uighur warriors are about to win a big victory, I wonder if Shi Shuai's soldiers and horses will be able to break the formation as scheduled?" ”

Shi Jingjiao said unhurriedly: "The one who attacked the thief army infantry is my Xiazhou elite cavalry, and with my elite cavalry combat method, if he wants to defend against me, he will form a round formation." The thief army's phalanx, if it is a frontal attack, it is our army's elite cavalry, and we dare not assert that it can win, but if they form a circle formation-hmph, although the circle array has no weaknesses, but the defense of the phalanx front formation, evenly spread to the periphery of the entire circle array, even if there are many supplements, it is also a weakening move, and the defense of the cavalry charge anywhere in the circle formation is far from being compared with the front of the phalanx, if so, our army's elite cavalry will be able to break through the formation! ”

Yao Luo Ge Di Yin sneered: "Shi Shuai is so sure? ”

Shi Jingjiao said impatiently: "The thief army arrived, the formation was hasty, and Li Congjing set up the infantry formation into an offensive formation, and did not place vehicles on the periphery to hinder the cavalry from entering the formation, what can I do to resist the onslaught of my elite cavalry at this time?" Ben Shuai also fought with the thief army, and knew the root of it, when he was training in Xiazhou before, he had a lot of targets in terms of tactics, if he didn't even have this grasp this time, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? ”

Yao Luo Gedi Yinji smiled and said: "If this can be done, you and I will break the enemy together, and the thief army will definitely be defeated!" ”

Under the blue sky, the wilderness is vast, Shi Jingjiao stood with his hands tied, no longer speaking, but his eyes became more and more bright.

Suddenly, Du Yanlu said in a loud voice: "I heard that the thief army has a lot of artillery, why can't it be used this time?" ”

Without waiting for the medicine Luo Ge Di Yin to speak, outside the large formation of the forbidden army, there was a loud bang, and then, rumbling thunder rose one after another, and suddenly the earth burst out, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun. From a distance, it is like countless invisible boulders falling into the lake, and huge water splashes fly up, enveloping the circle in it.
