(Thank you for the precious monthly ticket cast by the Imperial Sunset World and the Lord of Bozhai Hall, and thank tang123jun for your reward, thank you.) ）

At the end of the day, when the team set off, the weather was gloomy, which seemed to indicate that it was difficult to survive the day. Su Tiancheng's expression was calm, smiling, and he looked very relaxed, and he knew that his emotions were very important.

There are too many doubts, even he himself, and he can't analyze the reason.

Fang Mingwei blatantly followed behind, could it be said that he had the certainty of victory, although the combat effectiveness of the rogues was much stronger than that of the bandits, but it was not so arrogant, after all, it was the Xiaocai battalion in the Nanjing Beijing camp that followed him, and the combat effectiveness was extraordinary.

Fang Ming didn't do anything in Henan, if you want to say that the most convenient time is when you are in Mengjin County for disaster relief, you often take a dozen people with you, and go directly to the countryside, not to mention two thousand people, one hundred people can guarantee that you will take your own life, doesn't Fang Ming know that Lu Dao seized the opportunity.

The core problem is how Fang Ming knows his whereabouts, according to the convention, he is going back to the capital, he has seen the emperor, and after handing over the edict and monk Fang Baojian, he will return to Jiangning County, but it happened suddenly, and he went home directly, which is an extremely rare situation, along the way, he did not trouble any Henan officials, nor did he go to the town to stay, sleeping in the open air, what he wanted was to go home early, but Fang Ming seemed to be very clear.

There are a lot of problems, I don't dare to think about them, and when I think about them, there are problems.

In this place, the valley is not long, only about 500 meters, and the peaks on both sides of the valley are not big, they are very steep, cavalry and foot soldiers. It is impossible to lie in ambush on the slopes of the mountains on both sides, even if it is an ambush, it is also a face-to-face fight, and the road in the valley is very wide, and six horses can pass in parallel. It is conducive to the cavalry charge, it is said that it is stupid to set up an ambush in such a place, it is impossible for Fang Ming not to know the way, why did he choose to be here.

Of course, the Eagle's Beak Valley is very desolate, and there are no people around, and no one will choose to rest here, which is advantageous. No matter how many people fight here, it won't alarm the government.

There are many problems, Su Tiancheng can't think through it, although there are some guesses, but dealing with the current predicament is the most important thing. Along the way, he and the officers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion discussed carefully. There is no other way but to go head-to-head. Now that they have put on a decisive battle posture. Then do it.

1,300 men, against 2,000 men, in terms of numbers, it was a great loss, but the equipment of the cavalry battalion was excellent, with broadswords, spears, bows and arrows. It was all available, and everyone was wearing armor, and it was impossible for a rogue to have such equipment, besides, the rogue was used to sports combat. For this kind of positional warfare, it is not necessarily familiar.

The scouts kept bringing back news, and in the direction of Eagle's Beak Valley, the rogues were still waiting, and the rogues at the back of the team followed unhurriedly, not caring.

At noon, the sergeant of the cavalry battalion finally understood the situation he was facing.

No one showed fear, more anger, as the elite of the imperial army, was so despised by the rogue, swaggering to follow, as if the victory was in hand, this is an extreme contempt, as long as it is a soldier, he can't hold back this breath, and the team slowly reveals a desperate momentum.

Morale can be boosted.

Su Tiancheng deeply understands this truth.

At the time of unitary, a large group of men and horses set up camp two miles away from the Eagle's Beak Valley.

The officers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Deng Hui, Liu Tiehan and others entered Su Tiancheng's tent.

Pre-war deployments began. The first thing to be implemented is who is at the front of the line and the first to enter the Eagle's Beak Valley. Although the terrain is clear, the sergeant at the front is the most in danger, and after the battle begins, the casualties are also the greatest.

Several generals of the cavalry battalion asked for orders and asked to become pioneers.

Just when everyone was arguing, Liu Tiehan spoke.

"My lord, generals, I will take more than a hundred brothers and walk in the front."

There is a general of the cavalry battalion, ready to reprimand Liu Tiehan, after all, Liu Tiehan was a bandit before, at such an important juncture, the vanguard must not make a big mistake, otherwise it will affect morale.

Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop it and let Liu Tiehan continue.

"I say this for a reason, the cavalry battalion is cavalry, the rogue who is ambushed in the eagle's beak valley, most of them are foot soldiers, if they lay down a spear array, they will inevitably block the cavalry's charge, which will cause great casualties, and the brothers I bring can charge in front and disturb the spear formation of the rogues, and the cavalry battalion will charge in the back, and the effect will be much better."

Liu Tiehan had just finished speaking, and Deng Hui also spoke.

"My lord, generals, I think that what Liu Tiehan said is reasonable, in Xia and Liukou, there has been contact before, even if the first rain of arrows passes, the formation of the Liukou, it will not be chaotic, at this time, if the cavalry battalion charges, there will inevitably be great casualties, Liu Tiehan and his brothers, charging in front, can effectively disrupt the formation of the Liukou, the cavalry battalion seized the opportunity to charge, can give the Liukou the greatest damage."

Su Tiancheng looked at Deng Hui and Liu Tiehan, and didn't speak for a long time, even the generals of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion also fell into deep thought.

Spear formation, is the best way to deal with cavalry, an inch long and an inch strong, when the cavalry charges, the first thing to face is the spear, even if the person is not injured, not afraid, but the horse will be frightened, will feel afraid, the biggest advantage of the cavalry, lies in the impact force, in the face of the cold spear, it is indeed difficult to play the greatest role, and will cause a lot of casualties.

For a long time, a general of the cavalry battalion spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that such an arrangement is reasonable, but the brothers led by Liu Tiehan may suffer heavy casualties."

The formation of troops was quickly implemented.

After entering the valley, facing the Liukou, the abdomen and back of the enemy, there are one hundred and ten brothers led by Liu Tiehan in front, killing a bloody road, charging for the cavalry, creating the best opportunity, there are four hundred cavalry battalion guards behind, to deal with the Liukou from behind, must be within half an hour, rush out of the Eagle's Beak Valley, after going out, the outside is an open area, the cavalry can play a maximum role, give the Liukou the greatest damage.

Of course, the first thing is archery, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, Liu Tiehan led his brothers to charge.

When it was ugly, the brigade quietly moved, leaving behind tents one by one.

It was pitch black all around, almost out of sight, the sergeant in the back, followed the sergeant in front, the war horse was wrapped in the horse's hooves, put on the bridle, and there was a rustling sound all around, and no one could be heard.

Two miles, half an hour, it will be there.

Eagle's Beak Valley Gukou, everyone stopped, because Su Tiancheng in front of him stopped.

Soon, Wang Dazhi lit the torch.

Several generals of the cavalry battalion were very surprised, they didn't know what Lu Dao was about, and the previous discussion would only light the torches as a last resort, and it was best to take advantage of the darkness to launch an attack.

"Brothers, all light the torches."

Soon, a fiery dragon appeared, and the surroundings were brightly lit.

"Brothers, our situation, everyone knows the way, in this eagle's beak valley, there are 1,200 rogue ambushes, behind us, there are 800 rogue bandits following, they think, front and back flank us, and their performance, the brothers are all aware of the way, as if the victory is in hand, as if our cavalry battalion is vulnerable, as if they can annihilate us all. I know the feelings of the brothers of Ludao, as soldiers, being despised is the greatest shame, since people despise us, then we must show courage and let the rogues see who annihilates whom. ”

"The sword is ruthless, this fight, we have no reinforcements in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, which can be said to have encountered the worst situation, but I ask the brothers to remember one sentence, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, we are the army of the imperial court, the leader of the Nanjing Beijing camp, and the elite troops of the imperial court, we are all excellent soldiers, only in this case, can we burst out of the strongest combat effectiveness, brothers, let the rogues tremble under our horses' hooves."

After a few simple words, the sergeants of the Xiaocai Battalion were already flushed, and Liu Tiehan and the others, who were at the forefront, were already eager to try, and in front of the sergeants of the Xiaocai Battalion, it was their best chance to prove it.

It was only a hundred meters into the Eagle's Beak Valley that there was a rogue in front of me.

Liukou obviously didn't expect that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion would come in with torches, illuminating the entire valley, and their figures could no longer be concealed.

Soon, the rogues lit the torches as well.

Several generals of the cavalry battalion gasped when they saw the barricade in front of them.

The ground was full of broken stones, these stones, sharpened and pointed, if the cavalry charged, the war horses stepped on it, the consequences were unimaginable, they couldn't help but look at Su Tiancheng, they couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng could predict the prophet and avoid major casualties.

The rogue on the opposite side had already lined up a spear array, and the sergeant was holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, waiting for the battle.

Liu Tiehan's Deng Hui's prediction was not wrong.

Although the road surface of the valley is wide, the terrain is narrow, the spear array of the rogue is densely standing on the road, there is no gap on both sides, it is a few rounds of arrow rain past, the rogue holds a shield to guard, even if there are casualties, the rogue behind can quickly fill the position, the cavalry charges at this time, and the casualties caused are incalculable.

In front of the team, a man rode a war horse.

This is a middle-aged man, his pale face is full of haze, and he can even see the anger in his eyes.

"I'm Fang Ming, please come out and speak."

The sergeant of the Xiao cavalry battalion had already opened his bow and arrows, waiting for Su Tiancheng's order, and as for Liu Tiehan in front, he was even more prepared, and after the rain of arrows, he was about to charge.

Su Tiancheng smiled slightly, Fang Ming was very smart, at this time, he was still thinking about trying his best to suppress the morale of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, this kind of recognized provocation, how could he ignore it. (To be continued.) )
