As soon as the crossbowmen were in position, the cavalry retreated to the center and gave way to the stage. www.biquge.info In this battle, the task of the Tang cavalry was not to disrupt the enemy array and spend their strength on the Nanban infantry, but to stay by Li Yi's side and wait for the moment of countermeasures.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, although Zhang Fei and himself are brothers with the emperor, now that the eldest brother has become the emperor, the difference between monarchs and ministers must be paid attention to. Although the eldest brother attaches great importance to feelings and does not pay attention to these, other courtiers will think that they and others do not understand the general situation.

Zhao Yun grabbed Zhang Fei and didn't let this righteous brother talk nonsense: "You look carefully, the emperor praised Meng Huo, not because of the amazing momentum of the Southern Barbarian cavalry, but because he made good use of the foot soldiers, and the moment when the cavalry launched a charge was also the moment when the foot soldiers in front of the Chinese army completely broke up." ”

"At that time, it will be the moment when the old power of the foot soldiers commanded by Pengju and Brother Gongming has been exhausted, and the new force has not been born! was rushed by the huge array of the Southern Barbarian cavalry, and maybe it was crushed in one fell swoop, which is his cleverness. In addition, the speed at which he assembled the cavalry and the arrangement of the formation were quite powerful, and he was indeed a general. ”

"I see, no wonder ......" The red tassel on Zhang Fei's missile helmet suddenly remembered something and was silent.

He doesn't have a good relationship with Yue Fei, and when it comes to Yue Fei's topic, he doesn't like to get involved.

"It's a wolf pack tactic!" Li Yi explained while wearing a helmet, "It's similar to the tactics of Xianbei and Xiongnu. Wing, have you seen wolves? The wolf king's usual method is to drive the troops to besiege the herd, and when the enemy is tired, it will suddenly jump out of the wolf pack and seal its throat! Take the Southern Barbarian Army as an example, Meng Shu is the wolf king, and he can't attack him when he is idle, and when he makes a move, it is a fatal move. ”

While Li Yi explained to the generals, his thoughts were also fluctuating.

Meng Shu will personally lead the army to charge into battle, but he will not rush directly to the front like Sun Jian, but hide in the depths of the military formation, find a good opportunity, and attack.

In a way, Meng's tactics were very practical. With such tactics, Meng Shu did not need to worry about being targeted by the enemy, and attacked with tactics such as decapitation and heart piercing.

Although this method of warfare is very powerful, the most powerful is only when it is taken out for the first time. No matter what tactics, as long as they are placed in broad daylight and studied by people, there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is always a way to find a way to crack it.

There is only one tactic that people know the subtleties and can't resist, and that is to crush them with strong strength. The previous war in Yanzhou had this flavor, and after winning this war, the next war might all show this trend, right?

At this moment, in the formation of the Southern Barbarian Cavalry, someone let out a loud roar full ......of energy, and the roar was so loud that it penetrated the hustle and bustle on the battlefield and vaguely reached the ears of Li Yi and others.

"Gallop to the Central Plains!" The 80,000 cavalry shouted with the roar, and the roar was earth-shattering, which made the earth tremble, and then, the sky suddenly brightened, and the sky did not know its distance, and a bright red lightning slashed and fell, intertwined with the blood light that filled the heaven and earth, shaking the world in the slaughter red.

The lightning vanished, and the heavens and the earth returned to their dusky color. Under the dim sky, the huge cavalry array of the Southern Barbarian Army moved from static to slow, from slow to fast, like a collapsing mountain, with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, launching a comprehensive impact!

"Rumble...... Rumbling ...... "The drums are louder and louder, mixed with the sound of thousands of galloping horses, and intertwined with the thunder of summer!"

As if with the help of thunder and lightning, the charging momentum of the Southern Barbarian cavalry was amazing, and even the generals of the Tang Army were all discolored for a while.

After the initial astonishment, the demoralized Nanban infantry suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"The king is mighty!"

"Brothers, the king has taken advantage of the wind and rain to kill him, everyone hurry up and get out of the way!"

……

Like the inverted sea, the massive infantry array quickly retreated in all directions, giving way to several passages hundreds of paces wide, allowing the cavalry to advance unhindered by the onslaught.

It seems that the tide of battle has a tendency to repeat.

At this moment, a huge drop of rain also smashed heavily on Li Yi's dark iron helmet, reflecting a smile escaping from the corner of Li Yi's mouth, and shattered into countless tiny rain threads.

"Wow!"

The rain came very quickly, from the first drop of rain to the whole vision becoming dim and blurry, just counting the time.

The scattered raindrops soon became a line, and then again, and finally turned into a curtain wall, which lay in the middle of the battlefield. It seems that God is angry, and after the storm, there is simply a thunderstorm, saying that he wants to separate the two warring sides.

However, heaven and earth send out killing opportunities, but the stars change, dragons and snakes rise to land, and people send killing machines, but heaven and earth are repeated. Even the wrath of heaven cannot completely eliminate human killing.

"Good rain, just in time!" Meng Huo laughed and shouted, "This is God's help, sons, follow me to break the enemy!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The morale of the Southern Barbarian Army was high and the cheers were thunderous. Hundreds of thousands of beast hooves flew up and down, kicking the muddy water into the air, mixing with the pouring rain, and the galloping army seemed to be stepping on a huge dark cloud at its feet.

No wonder Meng was overjoyed, as we all know, long-range weapons are most afraid of rain and snow. After a few days in a humid area, the bowstring will become slippery and loose, and its power will be greatly reduced. In the current heavy rain, even if the Tang Army's bow and crossbow can be forcibly used, its power and accuracy will drop a lot.

The Southern Barbarian cavalry only had animal skin and animal armor, and it was not equipped on every soldier, and the strong crossbows and crossbow carts of the Tang army still posed a great threat to the cavalry. Meng Shu has always suspected that Li Yi's hidden killer weapon is likely to be the crossbow, more strong crossbows, which were launched at the same time as the Southern Barbarian Army launched an attack.

Now he is not worried, in such weather, even if the Tang army hides more ballistas, it will not have time to enter the attack position and launch a salvo.

Even if it is barely launched, the lethality is worrying, with the double protection of heavy rain and animal skin and armor, the power of the cavalry impact can be exerted to the strongest!

It is said that the enemy is unlucky, and it is beneficial to his side, but at the same time as Meng Yu was ecstatic, Li Yi also escaped a trace of an unfathomable smile on his lips, turned his head and said to Zhuge Liang beside him: "Kong Ming, there is really you, even the time is so accurate, in the future, the world will be unified, and the society will be stable, and the post of director of the National Meteorological Bureau will definitely be held by you." ”

"Bureau of Meteorology?" Zhuge Liang was stunned.

"Well, it's a department that specializes in observing the weather and making forecasts in advance......" Li Yi explained casually, and then smiled, and his voice turned sharp, "The rain is coming just in time, it is God's help!" Command the whole army to meet the enemy according to the established strategy! Pacify the Nanban, just today! ”

"Whoa!" The generals agreed in unison.

The next moment, the drums and trumpets in the formation were also sounding in unison, and the drummers and trumpeters all tried their best to ignite the blood in everyone's hearts with a stormy melody.

"Don't pay attention to those miscellaneous soldiers, change formations, the whole army changes formations! Go all out! Yue Fei wiped the rain from his face, and shouted with all his strength while waving the big flag in his hand.

"The general has an order, change the formation to meet the enemy!" The heralds could no longer run around and give orders, so they could only rely on shouting in unison to pass on the orders layer by layer.

The tactics of the infantry soldiers were studied by Yue Fei and Li Yi together, and he was also in charge of the drill and the commander of the battle. Everything went well before, but such an achievement is still far from the real goal, and it is the moment when the Southern Barbarian Cavalry launches a full-scale attack that really tests him and determines success or failure!

"Change formation now? Isn't it too late? "The Southern Barbarian Army is deployed in a crane wing formation, with the two wings in front and the Chinese army lagging behind, even if it has experienced a tragic infantry battle, the relative positions of the various military horses have not changed. Rushing to the front were the soldiers and horses of the vulture bone and the king of Mulu, and both of them were happy at the moment.

Before this war, the armies of the two were basically wiped out, but this time, the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians gathered in the country of Ugo, so that the two of them bought some tribes and formed two armies with considerable strength.

However, because the previous defeat was too miserable, the two of them were very afraid of facing the Tang Army in their hearts, and they were always afraid of fighting the Tang Army.

Before Meng Shu ordered a general attack, the two were desperate for a while, the Tang army's crossbowmen were too strong, even if the Southern Barbarian Army could win in the end, the men and horses involved in the first wave of attack would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Now the heavy rain has blocked the view, drenched the bow and crossbow, and the orders of the Tang army have been heard from afar, and it is obvious that the assembly has not been completed. The vulture bone and the king of the wooden deer are all in full bloom.

It is undeniable that the infantry formation used by the Tang Army for white-knuckle combat is indeed very strong, but that formation is only suitable for foot combat, and is not suitable for resisting cavalry at all. From the battle situation just now, it can be inferred that the Tang army should have a contingency charter and can be assembled in a very short time, but this sudden rainstorm interrupted their pace.

Without the threat of long-range weapons, and without the blocking of dense arrays, the danger of the striker is greatly reduced, and the chance of meritorious service is correspondingly increased.

At this moment, the confidence of the Southern Barbarian generals to win has reached its peak.

"Cluck!" As if echoing, a pale blue lightning bolt slashed down, and the dim vision was completely illuminated.

Vulture and King Mulu were pleasantly surprised to find that the enemy was retreating, as fast as the sea at low tide.

What made them even more pleased was that the enemy did not regroup as they retreated, but on the contrary, although a single squad was strengthened to about thirty people, the overall array became more and more dispersed. The distance between the two squads was thirty or forty paces, and the frontal attack area of the entire squad was only three people tied together.
