Ten miles away from the exit of the basin, Deng Zhixike army formation.

Deng Zhixike was preparing for a decisive battle with Qin Dong here, so he did not set up camp on the spot. Deng Zhixike rode a horse at the front of the army formation and waited for the arrival of the Qindong army, and the 30,000 cavalry behind him were all in full array, but the news brought back by the reconnaissance cavalry said that the Qindong army had already sat on the high ground.

His subordinate general Jian Yì said: "Da Danyu, now that Qindong's army has slackened, why don't we take this opportunity to rush over and kill him without leaving a piece of armor?" ”

Deng Zhixike had already established himself as Da Shan Yu a month ago, so his subordinate generals and officials called him Da Shan Yu, which was also the main reason why Qin Dong wanted to lead his troops to attack him.

Deng Zhixik is not as reckless as Enek, otherwise he would not have been loved by Attila, in fact, he has been very smart and cute since he was a child, and he is no longer cute when he grows up, but he is still smart, which is why Attila has always loved this little son.

He shook his head and said: "No, Qin Dong is not an unwise person, he is now occupying the high ground, maybe he is luring us to attack now, this is what he did to show us to paralyze us, we can't be fooled by him!" We are waiting here, and if he wants to attack Oman, he must face us, give the order to go down, and let the soldiers dismount and rest! ”

Deng Zhixike didn't understand the truth of "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", he only knew that Qin Dong's soldiers were resting, and his soldiers couldn't keep concentrating and waiting like this, and no one could stand it for a long time, so he ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest.

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!"

After the order was given, the soldiers could not stand it for a long time. One by one, they jumped off their horses, which was also to blame for the fact that Deng Zhixik's orders were not given clearly, and many of the soldiers dismounted and threw their armor, helmets, and weapons on the ground. Some took care of the war horses, and took off the armor and saddle stirrups of the war horses, and most of them lay down on the grass to sleep. When Deng Zhixike found out, it was too late, and if he wanted to give an order for the soldiers to put on their armor, it would definitely attract the complaints of the soldiers, he thought that this place was about twenty miles away from the Qindong army, and if there was any movement in the Qindong army, the reconnaissance cavalry would definitely have time to come back and report. At that time, it was not too late to order the soldiers to prepare for battle, so there was no longer any care about the behavior of the soldiers.

By noon, Deng Zhixike still hadn't waited for Qin Dong's army. It was already lunchtime, and he could only let the soldiers solve the problem of eating on the spot, and after lunch, the sun in the sky was still a little hot. The soldiers began to undress. Most of the soldiers fell asleep in the grass.

Not only the soldiers are like this, but also many centurions and thousands, even Deng Zhixike himself is a little bit want to sleep, the generals around him saw this and hurriedly persuaded him to rest and rest, Deng Zhixike thought about it and agreed, just let the generals pay attention, if there is news of the movements of the Qin Dong army, he will be woken up immediately, and the generals are full of promises.

But when Deng Zhixik went to find a place to sleep. The generals assigned the task of monitoring the movements of Qin Dong's army to the soldiers below, and they themselves went to sleep. The willpower of the little soldiers was of course inferior to that of the generals, and when they saw that the generals were resting, their hearts were extremely unbalanced, and as soon as they threw away their weapons, they all fell to sleep in the grass.

But on Qin Dong's side, Qin Dong saw that his soldiers were a little drowsy after lunch, and he knew that Deng Zhixike's men and horses were estimated to be no better, so he immediately sent someone to find Tuolong and ordered: "Order the reconnaissance cavalry to completely block the exit of the basin here, as long as Deng Zhixike's reconnaissance cavalry breaks into this area, kill immediately!" ”

"Yes, King!" Toron agreed, and the order was relayed.

Qin Dong then took Tolon, Afald, Batu and others, escorted by the guards, and rode down the high ground towards the exit of the basin. After a while, he arrived at the exit of the basin, Qin Dong observed at the mouth of the basin, and found that his field of vision was limited, and he could not see the situation of Deng Zhixike's army here, so he turned his head and looked up, and saw that the slope leading to the highest part of the hill on the left was not steep, and it should be possible to climb up, so he took Tuo Long and others to climb up to the high part of the hill.

It only took a quarter of an hour to climb to the top, and standing here he couldn't see the Deng Zhixike army formation, but because the distance was too far, his vision was a little blurry, so he shouted: "Bring the clairvoyant mirror!" ”

A guard stepped forward and handed a copper binoculars to Qin Dong, this thing was made by Qin Dong from Rome by the best craftsman from Rome, Qin Dong just told the craftsman about the principle of the telescope, and the craftsman figured out the telescope by himself, and it was not difficult to make the copper tube body of the telescope, because the Roman Empire at this time already had craftsmen who could make glass, so the lens of the telescope was not very big, but it was a little difficult to make two telescope lenses with a high degree of similarity. However, the craftsman still succeeded in making zuò, this thing is not easy to make zuò, and it cannot be mass-produced, only Qin Dong and a few corps commanders have it.

Qin Dong took the binoculars and began to observe Deng Zhixike's military formation, he found that Deng Zhixike's military formation had long been scattered, the soldiers were sleeping on the ground one by one with their chests open and their breasts exposed, and the war horses also left their masters because of grazing, scattered everywhere, and the ground was full of weapons, armor, helmets and saddles.

Qin Dong knew that the time for the attack had come, and he gave an order while observing the Deng Zhixik army formation: "Order, Tuo Long threw the third army on the left side and arrived at the right flank of the Deng Zhixik army formation for more than ten miles, be careful not to make a movement so as not to be discovered by Deng Zhixike, when the battle on this side begins, your side will attack." ”

"Order!" Tolon said yes and turned and ran down the hill.

Qin Dong said again: "Order, Batu took the guards and iron cavalry to detour to the right side to reach ten miles from the left flank of Deng Zhixike, and when the battle starts here, your troops will immediately come out from the left flank!" ”

"Yes!" Batu also took the order.

Qin Dong put down his binoculars and continued: "Alfard, you take your Fifth Legion as the main force of the frontal enemy, immediately come down from the high ground to the Guò Basin, and when you reach this exit, the whole team will advance forward, don't wait, trot to the distance where you can charge, and then directly charge!" ”

"Understood, King!" Alfald also went down the mountain with a few guards.

The troops stationed on the high ground quietly left one by one, and Tuo Long took his third army to go around from the left side, and the left and right sides were not very easy to walk, otherwise Qin Dong would not let the army go to this high ground, so it would take longer.

The weight of the cavalry archers is relatively light, and the weight of the heavy cavalry is a bit heavy, but in order to increase the defense and impact power, heavy equipment must be carried, and fortunately, there are mules and horses carrying heavy equipment.

By this time the fires burning in the woods on the hills on both sides of the basin had been extinguished, but there was a lot of smoke, and the woods had been burned to the point that only a few bare trunks remained.

Only Afard's Fifth Army was left on the heights, and under Alfard's command, the whole army was silently lined up in a neat and dense formation of arrows, and the warriors rode on horseback, grasping the reins, stroking their manes, and trying to calm the restless horses.

Alfald rode at the front of the whole formation, and when he saw that the formation was complete, he turned his horse's head and waved his palm in the direction of the valley mouth, without saying a word, he was under the high ground, and the soldiers on the high ground and the slope of the high ground could see his movements, and rode his horse to the basin together.

The soldiers did not make uniform movements, which is also the order given by Alfard, only when the battle officially began, or during the parade to make a neat movement to create a great momentum, and now it is to quietly arrive at the exit of the basin, the movements are neat and consistent will form a sound resonance, which will cause a lot of noise, which will alarm the army of Deng Zhixik.

Qin Dong stood on the high ground on the left side of the hill and observed the situation of Deng Zhixike's army formation for a long time, and then turned around and saw that the Third Army had already descended the high ground and entered the basin, so he ordered the guards around him: "Go and give an order to let the whole team of the Royal Forest Army follow the Third Army behind the basin to the exit of the basin!" ”

"Yes, King!"

This time, in addition to bringing 3,000 guards and horses out, Qin Dong also brought 2,000 royal forest troops, the royal forest army was originally formed by Qin Dong to guard Dadan Yu Palace, a total of 3,000 people, this time he brought out 2,000 as his close guards, leaving 1,000 in Saidika to guard Dadan Yu Palace.

Qin Dong did not arrange combat missions for these two thousand Imperial Forest Army, but left them as reserves, the military thinking of the East is very different from the military thinking of the West, there is a point in Western military thinking that Qin Dong appreciates very much, then reserve reserves in every battle, this is a preparation for just in case, if the battle is unfavorable or suddenly the enemy kills from other places, at this time the reserve can come in handy, and if you do not leave a reserve, once a certain battle is unfavorable, That would likely lead to the danger of total collapse, and generally speaking, it is more likely that the reserves will be able to stay on the last side to win.

Afald's Third Army has a total of 12,000 men, like the establishment of other cavalry legions, there are forty percent heavy cavalry, sixty percent light cavalry and archers, and Deng Zhisik's army now has more than 30,000 people, almost three times the number of the Third Army, one to three, and it is also the initiative to attack, if it is in normal circumstances, it can only be said that courage is commendable, but in this situation it is normal, even if the strength of the Third Army is small, it is still qualified to launch an active attack, Because the army of Deng Zhixik is like a skinned tiger at this time.
