The two generals played relatively steadily, showing small-scale tentative attacks, and after learning the strength of the other side, they engaged on a large scale, while trying to avoid direct hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, and used their own cavalry advantage to constantly eat away at each other.

The tactics of these two people are good, and they have faithfully implemented Dong Shouye's battle plan, and the situation has been opened up little by little, as long as there is a period of time, I believe that the advantage will continue to expand, and finally the opponent can be defeated.

The situation on the left flank gradually opened, and the situation of the Chinese army was stalemate, but the cavalry on the right flank in charge of Li Meng and Yang Ding never opened the situation.

It turned out that the 10,000 spearmen on Sun Jian's right flank were a bit famous, and they were not so easy to deal with.

Li Meng and Yang Ding sent men and horses to do tentative attacks, cavalry long-distance cavalry shooting, long-range attack on the opponent, how do you know that the opponent is all a person-high wooden shield, it is difficult to achieve effective killing with cavalry shooting, if you are close to the enemy camp, so that the horses quickly charge into the opponent's formation, the opponent's spearman is like a forest of spears, like a hedgehog is difficult to mouth.

Li Meng and Yang Ding's many tentative attacks had no effect, and the other party was like a turtle shrunk in a turtle's shell, no matter how you tossed, the other party just wouldn't come out, or wouldn't take the initiative to attack.

It seems that the other side just wants to drag the right flank, not let the cavalry on the right flank open the situation, let the right flanks of both sides stick to each other, drag the time back hard, until the main force of the Chinese army on their side makes a central breakthrough, and then work together to strangle the two wings.

In Sun Jian's view, although his own cavalry is inferior to the other side, as long as the Chinese army makes a breakthrough and threatens the life and safety of the enemy commander, it can at least cause chaos on both sides of the local flank, thus giving the army a chance to completely annihilate the enemy army. Although the central breakthrough may not be able to successfully strangle the two wings, it can at least crush the opponent's main infantry force, or even kill the opponent's commander. If the opponent's commander is killed, or causes chaos in the cavalry on both wings, then it may not be possible for his side to completely annihilate the enemy's army, after all, he still has 5,000 cavalry, and it is not that he does not have a horse, as long as his side makes a breakthrough, the local army is defeated like a mountain, and it is bound to be chaos on the whole line, and when the time comes, the 5,000 cavalry under his command will break through the opponent's more than 10,000 scattered cavalry is no pressure. If you are lucky, you can also successfully collect the opponent's cavalry and form a cavalry that can really satisfy you.

Dong Shouye's original formation was a convex crescent, and the Chinese army's infantry was a protruding part. But with the attack of the cavalry and the anxiety of the war, Dong Shouye's formation turned into a concave crescent, and the cavalry on both wings became crescents on both sides.

Dong Shouye saw that his right wing cavalry had not opened the situation from a high place, and saw that the two people next to him were thinking about it, and he also followed the direction of the right wing cavalry, and carefully observed to see what was special about the opponent's formation.

Suddenly, Dong Shouye seemed to think of something, and immediately laughed.

Jia Xu and Xu Rong next to them didn't know why, and looked at Dong Shouye with four eyes, hoping that he could tell the reason.

At this time, Dong Shouye withdrew his laughter and asked Jia Xu and Xu Rong: "Both of you have been in Xiliang for a long time, have you ever heard of a place called Lijing?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "Of course I know, Jia is the Guzang clan of Wuwei County in Xiliang, and Lijing is also a county under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, which is more than 300 miles away from Jia's hometown Guzang. Why did Childe suddenly mention this Lijing? ”

Dong Shouye did not answer Jia Xu's words, but asked: "Is there a group of people in Lijing County who have high noses and deep eyes, yellow hair and blue eyes?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "There is indeed such a group of people, does Gongzi have anything to do with Sun Jian's spearmen?" ”

Dong Shouye smiled and was about to explain. Xu Rong, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly said: "Childe, do you mean that Sun Wentai is using the tactics of the Lijing people?" ”

Dong Shouye nodded, indicating that this was what he meant, Jia Xu next to him had never seen how the Lijing people fought, so he looked at Xu Rong like a curious baby, wanting to learn more about it.

Xu Rong saw Jia Xu's appearance, so he explained loudly: "When Xu Rong followed the prime minister to quell the rebellion in Xiliang, he also fought against these Lijing people, these Lijing people have no horses, they are armed with spears, but they can restrain the cavalry. Later, I also captured some prisoners for interrogation, and then learned that there are three main reasons why these spearmen restrain the cavalry, one is that this spear formation is very tight, which can be accurate to the individual, and the second is that the spears in their hands are longer than ordinary spears, which are somewhat similar to the spears used in our chariot warfare in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the third is that these Lijing people have a high degree of discipline, obey commands, and strictly implement the orders of the peak. ”

Jia Xu asked again: "Then now that Sun Jian is in such a formation to face our cavalry, does General Xu have any feasible way to crack the opponent's formation?" ”

Xu Rong thought about it, sighed and said, "Not yet, let me think about it!" ”

In fact, these so-called Lijing people are the ancient Romans, after the bloody suppression of the great uprising of a generation of genius Spartacus, the three heroes of ancient Rome, Crassus, Pompey and Antony, fought for the supreme power of ancient Rome, the scheming Crassus wanted to make a profit, so he led his army to the east, conquered the so-called barbarians to gain great prestige, and waited for Pompeii and Antony to lose the opportunity.

As a result, the Crassus agency was too clever and mistakenly lost his life. Defeated in the war with the nomads of the East, his men continued to flee to the East, and after several times became mercenaries of the Xiongnu, who were defeated by the Han Dynasty, and the ancient Romans begged for refuge from the Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Han court was very enlightened, and under the mediation of Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou, the capital of the Western Regions, it gave very lenient treatment to this army with very different cultures.

At that time, the Han court allowed this foreign army to build its own cities and garrison them to guard the border for the Han Dynasty. These ancient Romans established their own city at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, which was called Lijing. Dong Shouye saw that Xu Rong and Jia Xu had no good way, so he said: "Although Sun Jian has learned the formation of the Lijing people, he has only learned the skin, and has not learned the essence of the people. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately asked, "Childe, I wonder if this matter is sure enough?" ”
