After Su Li's narration, Zhang Bao finally understood the true ~ phase of the matter. It turned out that after the first division left, Su Li divided the troops into three divisions: 10,000 in the front army, 10,000 in the rear, and the remaining 10,000 or less than 20,000 were organized into the Chinese army.

There is nothing unusual about this, this is the way many armies march and set up. The three armies separated a certain distance and slowly moved westward, and it was not long before they encountered the vanguard of the Wei army's reinforcements on the western front.

According to the scouts' reports, the enemy's forward force was estimated to be 20,000 men (in fact, there were only 5,000 men, and they didn't put up too many flags, pulled the ranks apart, and bluffed to pretend that there were 20,000).

The former commander of the Xianbei cavalry was also a tribal chieftain, who was known for his bravery in battle, but in terms of IQ, he was only at the level of ordinary people. He did not send additional scouts to verify the number of the other side and the condition of the troops, in fact, the scouts of the Xianbei people were far from the level of the Hongjun scouts, and their reconnaissance work was much rougher.

The former commander of the army did not care when he heard that the enemy had 20,000 men, and he knew that his cavalry could easily defeat even if it was three times his own infantry. That's the difference in class.

Therefore, the commander, who was known for his bravery, did not hesitate to lead his troops and plunged headlong into the enemy's ranks, intending to break up and crush the enemy head-on. This is one of the common methods of warfare used by nomadic cavalry.

The battle situation was really similar to what he expected, and the Xianbei front army lined up in a sharp arrow formation to charge, in fact, it was really like a sharp arrow, and it quickly chiseled through the Wei army's camp.

Unsurprisingly, the Wei army began to flee, leaving behind a large number of flags, armor, and weapons along the way. Of course, due to the hard work of the Xianbei cavalry, the Wei army also left a lot of corpses.

The commander of the former army did not notice that the Wei army's camp platoon was sparse and scattered, and it did not look like there were 20,000 people at all. On the contrary, judging from the large number of flags and various supplies discarded on the ground, these people may have more than 20,000 people.

No matter how many people there are on the other side, they have all been defeated now, and since this is the case, it is time to beat the water dogs. As a result, the commander of the former army led the army to chase after the enemy's rout, slashing and slashing all the way, and indeed won a lot.

The 10,000 Xianbei people of the front army, including the commander, were all excited, they slashed and killed the enemy all the way, pursued all the way, and even did not know how far the army had pursued, and they did not know where they were pursuing, and they forgot to send people to find out, not to mention what the terrain of the place they were in now, and whether there were ambushes or traps waiting for them.

In the final analysis, they are too light on the enemy, and it is no wonder that since this time with the first division, 50,000 Xianbei have won countless battles, and it can be said that they have made many achievements. Whether it was to clear out those tribes that were in the way in the Hetao area, or to fight with all walks of life of the Wei army after entering Guanzhong, they were invincible.

Along the way, there are victories, victories, victories, the enemy has always been vulnerable, and for so long, there has not been a single defeat, and not even a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw has encountered.

The Xianbei cavalry gradually became coquettish. This kind of coquettish mood existed not only in this front army, but even the entire Xianbei cavalry unit, even the commander Su Li was no exception, they did not look down on the Wei army at all, and they all thought that as long as the battle was engaged, the enemy would be frightened and defeated.

And this conclusion has been proven many times, so that the idea has been strengthened in their minds, and by now, they may have taken it as the truth.

They never thought that when their Xianbei cavalry went out, the first division, a super era strong army, always stood behind them, deterring the enemy, ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies~ situations, and help them clean up all kinds of messes.

Moreover, the Hong army attaches the most importance to the role of information, and their three-dimensional information system has always shrouded the entire battlefield. The information of the warring parties is extremely asymmetrical, and for the Hong army, the entire battlefield is almost transparent, and the enemy's every move is under control.

On the contrary, the enemy was blinded and did not know the specific situation of the Hong army. Now it's different, the Xianbei cavalry and the Wei army both rely on scouts to find information, and everyone's information level returns to the same level.

The key is that at that time, all the layouts were carefully analyzed and designed by the staff of the First Division, and the Xianbei cavalry did not need to use their brains, as long as they carried out the task according to the plan given by the staff of the First Division.

Although the people in the staff of the First Division are not top strategists like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, they are also a group of people with rich experience and systematic military theories. In each operation, they will take into account all aspects of factors, predict all kinds of unexpected ~ situations, and various conspiracies and tricks that the enemy may use, and formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Although it cannot be said that they are exhaustive, but, with the collective wisdom of each other, they are definitely better than most of the world's strategists. It is precisely because of such a group of people who pay silently behind their backs that the Xianbei cavalry can always fight with the wind, be invincible, and not fall into the enemy's traps and conspiracies.

However, now it is different, now the Xianbei people are acting alone, everything has changed, they have changed from a part of a precision machine, back to a plate of loose sand, back to the previous steppe barbarians who only knew how to attack with brute force with their own martial arts.

So, they were ready, and when they had almost slashed down the five thousand Wei troops, the army came to a narrow terrain. Here the speed of the cavalry was curtailed, and they also began to huddle together.

The point is, there are countless traps here, tripping horses, horse pits, thistles and so on. Here, the Xianbei cavalry front army began to suffer heavy losses.

By the time the chieftain realized that something was wrong and wanted to order a retreat, it was too late, and countless Wei soldiers appeared from all directions and surrounded the cavalry force. The Xianbei cavalry panicked, they desperately broke through, due to poor organization and inefficient command system, there were multiple units breaking through from different directions.

The Xianbei people are tribal, and their army organization is also composed of tribes. Military governors at all levels are in fact the chiefs, chiefs, or warriors of the tribes they designate.

The people of their own tribe will only obey the orders of the leader of their own tribe, so in the chaos, it is difficult to effectively carry out the orders of the former army commander, and each unit chooses the direction of breakthrough according to its own judgment.

That is to say, when they broke through, they did not twist their forces into a rope, did not concentrate their forces to break through to a certain point, and even did not unify the time of the breakthrough, because some troops organized a breakthrough on their own as soon as they saw that the situation was not good, and did not wait for the commander's order to make their own decisions.

There are also some people who have received orders from the commander, but they feel that it is not a good time to break through, and they have to wait and see. As a result, the Xianbei cavalry, the former army, was in chaos in the crisis, and some shortcomings such as backward command system, backward organizational form, and inconsistent orders that were not seen in the previous battle were now completely exposed.
