Knights, front and back, left and right, advancing and retreating, crossing ravines, climbing hills, adventuring obstacles, overwhelming Daze, galloping strong enemies, and chaotic public. When the enemy engages in battle, it is required to be able to be as fast as a cone arrow, as fast as a thunderbolt, and as good as wind and rain. Swiftness is the key to defeating the enemy. Its advantage is that it is "convenient to gallop, which is conducive to inviting the attack and running, and is not suitable for guarding the old Dun".

If the key point of infantry combat is to maintain a formation, the key point of cavalry combat is to be flexible and mobile. Whenever there is a cavalry against the infantry, when the upper infantry is stable and it is not easy to carry out an offensive, the cavalry will often send a strong general, leading a small number of warriors to gallop out and clash with the enemy. Disrupt the enemy's formation, and then cover up the main army.

The enemy's formation is chaotic, the superior cannot find the subordinate, the subordinate cannot find the superior, the golden drum cannot be heard clearly, and the flag cannot be seen clearly, which is equivalent to being blind and deaf. No matter how many people there are, they are just a plate of loose sand.

The foot soldiers emphasize the formation, an organic whole. Famous generals use soldiers, "like arms and fingers". A good army is like a person when fighting, and it will move wherever it is asked. Suddenly, the arms and legs are no longer under the command of the brain, and the brain cannot command the arms and legs, and there is no doubt that they will be defeated.

Cavalry clashes are examples of chaotic enemy formations, and they mostly occur against foot soldiers. Cavalry against cavalry, there are not many examples of this kind of battle.

However, Gao Yanshi was proud of his bravery, and in the past, when he was under Mao Gui, every time there was a battle, no matter whether the enemy was on foot or on horse, the usual method of battle was to lead a few dozen or dozens of warriors, first meet the enemy, and clash with a lance. He is also brave, and nine times out of ten, he will disrupt the enemy. After messing up the enemy's position, the large army followed closely behind the gallop to expand the results of the battle, and often won the victory.

His tactics seem simple, but they all rely on his own bravery. If you want to learn from another school, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn. But there is a drawback, if there are generals who are as brave as him in the enemy and contain his sudden formation, then, the first battle is unfavorable, the morale of the army is hit, and such a brave general can't even rush across the enemy's formation, and if he fights again, the possibility of winning is small.

The Chahan army galloped away. This group of cavalry came from the elite, one man and one horse, and one man had two war horses. There were still more than ten miles away from the Haidong camp, and after a pause, the whole army changed horses.

Each of these soldiers had two different horses. The one that is usually ridden is considered to be a walking horse, specially used to hurry, and the one on the side that is not ridden is a war horse, and it will never be used unless it is in battle. It is taller and more powerful than a horse, full of momentum, and has been trained for a long time, can listen to commands, and is not afraid of battle formations.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. War horses are also the same, thousands of horses are easy to get, and divine horses are hard to find.

A warlike horse can help a soldier like a tiger. There was a war between the former Liao and the former Song Dynasty, and the Song generals waited in a phalanx, and the camp was very strong, and the Liao army had no way to start. The vanguard of the Liao army summoned the generals and asked who dared to go into the conflict first. One of the guards said, "If you have a horse, let it be the first." "You can see the importance of a good horse.

The requirements for the cavalry to be swift as the wind are also the requirements for the war horses. Therefore, the cavalry was very protective of the horses. The army also has clear regulations on how to train and maintain war horses. In non-wartime periods, it is forbidden to ride official horses. March, ten miles of rest, brush the mouth and nose of the war horse, thirty miles of one drink and feed. And so on, the requirements are very strict.

Chahan's army didn't know that there was a rule in Deng She's Haidong army that if a war horse was killed, it was only allowed to cut off its ears and hooves to return to the officials, and it was not allowed to be peeled and eaten, and it must be buried on the spot. Violators will be punished by military law. In this way, the soldier's affection for the mount is cultivated. In fact, even if there was no such rule, most cavalry would not be willing to eat war horses. Born to die, serve the field. Between battles, it's all about horsepower. War horses are not only mounts, but also comrades-in-arms who live and die together and can be relied on.

The Chahan army changed horses, leaving a part of the lieutenants to guard the horses. Send a vanguard of dozens of men to march ahead of the whole army, observe the enemy formation, and prepare for the first wave of charge. In the two armies, there were very few heavy cavalry, and more than ninety percent were light cavalry. Holding bows and arrows respectively, like two hedgehogs, they are slowly approaching each other. They are separated by more than ten miles from each other, and they can be reached in a few miles in a blink of an eye.

Rushing to the front, Gao Yanshi saw clearly, Li Zifan's judgment was good, and the number of enemies was really about 1,000. It was divided into three armies: left, right, and rear. The left wing was in front, three or four hundred people. The right wing was later, and the number was equal. The rear army was small, only about 200 people.

He knew it. The enemy's rear army must be a reserve, looking at its left and right flanks, the first to charge may be the left flank, but it is not ruled out that the right flank will suddenly exert force and rush to the first battle. Looking at the enemy's flag from afar, bathing in the sunset, the red Luo is the banner, the black line is embroidered, and there are three big characters: Juan.

Under the command of Chahan, the most famous generals are Gao Gao, Hu Linchi and others. Under the command of Gao Gao, the most famous generals are Hu Anzhi, Xie Xueer, Sha Liu and others, all of whom have a reputation for bravery.

Gao Yanshi had heard of Juanzhi's name, but he was disappointed at this time: "Nameless rats! In the middle of his busy schedule, he looked behind him and saw Li Zifan standing on the top of the watchtower, and in the half-built camp, the soldiers were entering the position in an orderly manner, and the background was full of mountains. He thought to himself, "Victory is not martial." "Turn your head, raise your eyes, and meet the enemy.

Because Gao Yanshi had an order first, Yang Youyin Gong and Su Baiyu each led a hundred people, lined up in front of the camp gate, strong and unmoving. The 300 men he brought with him made the slightest contact with Juan's army, and then scattered on both sides. The two armies fought, and the bow and arrow came first. Bows and arrows and firebolts are cast in a competitive manner.

Many soldiers of the Hu army have Hu Feng, and they still follow the establishment of regular armies such as the Yuan army's Tanma Chi, with small axes, throwing guns, etc., which are also like raindrops, mixed in the rain of arrows and rotated and thrown.

At first, Juan Zhi didn't pay attention to Gao Yanshi's people, waved the flag, and the right flank met him. The left wing walked diagonally, turned in an arc, tightened, and rushed towards the Haidong camp. On the battlefield, the arrows are like locusts, there is the sound of firecrackers bursting from time to time, the hooves of horses are thundering, and the shouts are killing and shaking the sky.

Yonsei and a dozen brave detachments from the large army, broke away from the strings, and crashed into the enemy line. If a large army is compared to a chain, then it is a meteor hammerhead. War horses are staggered, and the smoke and dust are obscure. Negligently broke into the enemy formation at dozens of paces. The horse lance is horizontal, and there is no one under him. The rest of the dozen or so people shouted and shouted, swords and guns were raised, and flesh and blood were flying.

From Li Zifan's point of view, Hu Jun is divided into three parts, and Gao Jun is also divided into three parts.

In the first part, four or five miles away from the right front of the camp, Gao Yonsei and his three hundred subordinates met the enemy's three or four hundred cavalry, and after a short entanglement, the speed of the two armies slowed down. The three hundred men of the Gao Yonsei Department were not in love with fighting, like a big bird spreading its wings, dividing the sides, slowly but surely enveloping the enemy in it.

At the same time, he saw that Gao Yanshi rushed into the enemy formation with a brave and unrivaled attitude, and more than a dozen people accelerated with their horses and galloped in. The enemy's formation seemed to be in turmoil for a moment, but soon, after adjustment, it settled down again.

Pan Xian'er, who had also been in war for a long time, looked into the distance and asked, "What about General Gao?" ”

"......, I can't see it."

In the second part, in front of the camp on the left side, almost four or five miles away, three or four hundred men on the left flank of Juan's department went around in a circle, avoiding the vanguard of the high army, like a tightly stretched and clenched fist, suddenly scattered, suddenly gathered, and galloped towards the camp with strange screams. Those who have great strength have already raised their throwing spears and axes high, and while galloping their horses, they move their arms, and as long as they enter the firing range, they can throw them at any time.

The setting sun shone in his eyes. Li Zifan closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them: "General Gao has few horses and horses, I'm afraid I can't stop the Tartars." He waved his hand, and looked downstairs, two or three rows of musketeers and crossbowmen, marching in formation, relying on the rejection of horses, fences, and other objects, ready to fire.

The enemy's left flank was getting closer and closer, and the two departments of Yang Youyin and Su Baiyu, who were stationed outside the gate of the camp, did not move at all. Li Zifan noticed that the eyes of the two of them were not on the incoming enemy at all, but were staring intently at the battle battlefield in front of the right.

"General Gao has an order, ordering the two of them not to see the military order, and they are not allowed to act for half a step."

What is a military order? This is the military order like a mountain. If the military order is not issued, let alone hundreds of enemies, even if Mount Tai collapses, but people do not move, and their faces do not change. Perhaps Gao Yanshi's military discipline is strict in Yidu, but this situation has long been commonplace in the Haidong Army. Li Zifan took it for granted, and without any exclamation, he touched the powder jar on his waist and began to prepare for shooting.

The firearms they used were a little different from those used by the Yuan army and the heroes.

Deng She instructed Cui Yu and made some improvements to the fire gun at that time. First of all, an aiming device is added, three points and one line, and the hit rate will be greatly improved when it is issued. Secondly, a curved handle was modified for better use by the shooter. Finally, the ignition device of the firing was changed to the fire rope as the ignition source, and the trigger was pulled for ignition, instead of using the fire medium to ignite externally. After these changes, the fire gun can be renamed a half-finished bird gun.

Cui Yu is very talented in firearms, and according to Deng She's guidance, it took more than half a year to improve it. However, it is also more difficult to manufacture, and the production volume is not high.

So far, only three or four hundred have been built in total, and most of them have been equipped in Lu Qianwu's Divine Machine Battalion. The rest were all in Dunshe's guards. Because of the arduous task of Li Zifan and Gao Yanshi, Deng She specially dispatched dozens of handles to deliver them to strengthen his momentum.

The sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was deep. Gradually, the wind became stronger, rolling the sand and gravel, and the fallen leaves swirled all over the camp. The fire is cold, and Li Zifan only feels that the armor is cold. And Gao Yonsei worked hard!

"Look, General!"

Li Zifan followed Pan Xianer's fingers and saw from a distance that more than a dozen people came out of the enemy's right flank formation. The leader of the red bow and black lance is not Gao Yanshi! The group actually crossed the enemy formation and fought from the front of the formation to the back of the formation. I saw Gao Yanshi looking left and right, whistled, I didn't know what he shouted, opened his bow and shot an arrow forward, but he didn't continue to rush forward to kill, but turned around his mount, led everyone, and thousands of troops galloped, and once again turned around and killed the enemy's right flank. And from behind the enemy's formation, he passed to the front. Between breaths, two in and two out. Hundreds of Chahan elite horsemen are uncontrollable.

Pan Xianer praised it, but it was not Gao Yanshi who praised it, but Hu Anzhi: "Chahan governs the army, and he is really strict." ”

There are two sudden formations of generals like Gao Yanshi, but Hu Jun can still keep his feet in order, maintain a general formation, and deploy up and down to a certain extent, without panic. It's a lot harder than a brave general. It's really impressive. Regardless of whether the attacking side or the defending side meets, when you meet your opponent, you will meet a good talent. It has only been less than a quarter of an hour since the start of the war, and Li Zifan and the others have already watched it with excitement.

The left flank of Hu's army was less than three miles away from the Haidong camp.

In the face of the thunder, it was also like a rushing enemy, in front of the camp gate, raising the bow and Su Baiyu, standing proudly under the flag, still not moving. Inside the barracks, the musketeers reload their ammunition. The archer draws the strongbow. The crossbowman exerts his power, and the crossbow arrow winds up. Then the shield-bearer raised his shield, and the pikeman raised his spear.

"Li Zifan. I heard that he was originally a monk? ”

"It seems to be. seems to be the younger brother of the Haidong thief Monk Li. ”

"What does a monk know how to fight?"

In the rear of the Hu army, Juan was in good time. After entangling Gao Jun with his right flank, he no longer cared about it, and turned his attention to the left flank of the headquarters and the Haidong camp in the distance. After careful observation, he made a judgment that although the response of Haidong's infantry was not bad, it was estimated that it would not be able to block the blow of his left flank just by looking at the half-pulled camp.

As for Gao Yonsei, there were only a few hundred people, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Although Gao Yanshi has a slight name, is he comparable to Liu Futong? In the first battle of Bianliang, Liu Futong escaped to Anfeng at night and was almost captured alive by the Chahan army. Don't talk about Liu Futong, is Gao Yanshi comparable to Guan Duo? Think back then, the bloody battle of Taihang Mountain, the night battle of the Iron Riding Valley, Hu Anzhi also participated, Guan Duo, Pan Cheng, Sha Liu Er, not the same as he chased and killed the desert and fled? Don't talk about Guan Duo, is Gao Yanshi comparable to Tian Feng? Less than a month before Chahan entered Shandong, Tian Feng's entire army was defeated.

What is a little Koyonsei? Nameless rats! Juan Zhi muttered to himself: "Victory is not martial." A series of victories not only played the prestige of Chahan, but also the arrogance of the generals under his command.

"General, look!"

Hu Anzhi followed the general's fingers, turned his eyes to look, and saw that in the right flank of the army, there was a sudden slight commotion, and an enemy general with bright armor and bright armor carried the wind and dust, stood up and crossed the bow, and suddenly galloped out. Then more than a dozen horsemen, covered in blood, followed and killed. Juan Zhi cried out in a lost voice: "Gao Yonsei! ”

Hu's rear was between the left and right flanks, only a hundred paces away from the right flank.

Gao Yanshi rushed out of the formation, glanced at this side, collected the lance and took the bow, pulled it like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, and a nine-division commander was at the front of the rear formation in the center. The strong bow he used was very powerful. The nine captains couldn't dodge, and the arrows entered the brain, pierced out, and with a bang, they fell under the horse.

Gao Yanshi laughed loudly, took the longbow, and nodded at Juanzhi: "*, and spare your life!" ”

It's not that he really wants to spare Juan's life, but because Juan Zhi is in the middle of the rear formation, the distance is long, and the range of arrows is difficult to reach. So, to say a big thing, by the way, to hit the morale of the enemy. Gao Yanshi glanced at the rear of the Hu army, and saw that it was heavily guarded, and knew that it was difficult to be impulsive. Turning the horses, making a whistle, leading everyone to turn back to the right flank of the Hu army for the second time. Juan Zhi changed color in shock: "Chong Jian is in battle, such a tiger general!" Attention was suddenly withdrawn from the left flank and placed on the right flank.

Only then did he discover that at some point, his right flank had been vaguely surrounded by Gao Yanshi.

"General, will you bring the rear up the line?"

Juan's thoughts turned sharply, and he instantly saw Gao Yonsei's intentions. He snorted and thought, "I was careless for a while, and I almost fell into a child's trap." Said: "The back battle cannot be mentioned." Don't you see that there are still 200 cavalry in front of Haidongbast? If I move in the rear, these two hundred cavalry will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Gao Yanshi'er clearly wanted to use the half-pulled camp to drag out the left flank of our army, and then concentrate the cavalry forces to crush my right flank and rear formation first. My rear and the right flank were in disarray, and the left flank was self-defeating. Good stratagem, good stratagem! ”

"How should our army respond?"

Juan's veteran of the battlefield, since he saw through Gao Yanshi's intentions, he had his own strategy to deal with it: "Beat the flag and beat the drum." Return to the left flank, and put down the Haidong camp, and destroy this thief first! ”
