On the vast battlefield, fierce battles can be seen everywhere, and the corpses of many of the dead are scattered randomly between the wilderness and valleys, and human life can be described as cheap as earth and stones.

Although Li Tai did not have any specific combat missions, he did not really stay in the camp to sleep, and took dozens of elite followers to wander between various areas of the battlefield to observe the battle formation.

This is the first time he has experienced such a large-scale battle, because he does not have to be confined to a certain place on the battlefield, but has to have the opportunity to look at the overall situation and observe the tactical application of different generals in different combat situations.

Yu Wengui commanded the largest number of men and horses, and the battlefield area he was responsible for was also the widest, and it was by no means a simple matter to arrange a large number of men and horses on the battlefield to form a solid encirclement formation, and drive all the enemy forces from all sides into the planned range.

The thief army on the battlefield is not a dead thing, and when they realized the intentions of the people and horses of Xiazhou, there was no shortage of attempts to break through. It is necessary not only to ensure that the encirclement formed covers a sufficient battlefield area, but also to ensure that there is enough force on the local battlefield to repel the thief army to break through, which requires the main general to have a strong judgment and scheduling ability.

On the long front, Yu Wengui had to pass orders through cavalry scouts before he could dispatch orders to the troops of all sides. This will inevitably lead to inefficiency, and once something unexpected happens, the order is not quickly communicated, and the troops can easily fall into a situation of fighting on their own.

Therefore, Yu Wengui did not choose to passively wait for the variables to happen, but deliberately induced.

He did not splash the water on the layout of this encirclement formation, but deliberately left a few very obvious loopholes, once the thief army chooses to break through, it is very likely that they will choose these places that seem weak and negligent. But when they really make such a choice, they will be greeted with a long-awaited killing move, and the breakthrough will become a death.

Li Tai also noticed that Yu Wengui seemed to be more keen on using unconventional troops, in addition to the elite archer team he had seen before, Yu Wengui also had a team under his command that used chain hammers, lassoes and other out-of-the-way weapons.

These squads are not blindly pursuing curiosity, and under the dispatch and command of Yu Wengui, they can give full play to their own combat characteristics in the battle array. Due to the uncommon mode of warfare, the enemy army is often at a loss and does not know how to meet the enemy, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort compared with conventional soldiers.

However, Yu Wengui's combat characteristics, even if others want to learn it, they can't learn it. Xiazhou's excellent soldiers are sufficient, and they can conduct various military drills for a long time, so Yu Wengui can choose a lot of tactical application space.

In the case of the powerful military leaders in other regions, it is already good that several conventional combat methods can be skillfully applied, and then other hunting pursuits, the actual combat value may not be considerable, and it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Tai followed the rear of Yu Wengui's army, and watched its formation sparse but not leaky, and the frequent appearance of surprise troops in response to the enemy, which was also greatly inspired and benefited a lot. He is not a brilliant and talented military wizard, so he also seizes every opportunity in the hope of being able to grow even more.

Unlike Yu Wengui's dazzling tactical applications, Li Mu's battle was much more unrestrained.

Although he was responsible for the encirclement of the thief army in the south, in fact, most of the thief army would not choose to flee south, so Li Mu only needed to attack bravely and did not need to be distracted to encircle and intercept.

Li Mu was a brave general, and he was also ashamed and brave, sparing no effort to launch an attack on the thieves, and the soldiers under his command were also brave in battle, and all the thieves who stood in the way of his team were all defeated and scattered.

Because they were too brave in rushing to kill, when many of the thieves saw Li Mu and his party rushing towards them from afar, although there was still a considerable distance between them, they began to flee uncontrollably, and spared no effort to spread this panic around, making the other thieves even more afraid to line up to meet Li Mu and others.

Yang Zhong's 5,000 cavalry also did not have a fixed combat area, and constantly appeared in various places on the battlefield. Whenever the thief army gathered too much, or resisted fiercely, so that the advance of the battle was stopped, Yang Zhong would lead his army to the battlefield and quickly crush the enemy's position.

If it is said that Yu Wengui and Li Mu's respective combat methods have traces to follow, and they can be imitated and copied with experience, but Yang Zhong's combat methods that are haunting and turning into the wind, Li Tai is a little incomprehensible.

It's not that I can't understand it, but I don't understand why Yang Zhong can grasp the fighter so accurately, as if the entire battlefield directly forms a three-dimensional projection in his mind, and the changes in various situations are like watching palm prints, and he can accurately attack and catch up.

Of course, the projection ability is a bit absurd, but when he saw Yang Zhong entering and leaving the battle formation, constantly crushing and crushing the still stubborn thief army in the encirclement, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is probably the innate intuitive talent on the battlefield, which is enviable but difficult to perform.

Although these three generals are not the top match of the generals and commanders of the Western Wei Dynasty, they are definitely a very strong lineup, and there are two generals in the future alone. Although Li Mu did not belong to the first lineup to appear, he also became a real elder with a longer life span and profound qualifications.

With the cooperation of these three people, the thief army on the battlefield was constantly harvested, not only repeatedly trampled and ravaged, but also the activity space was constantly compressed.

Originally, the thief army was distributed in an area within a radius of dozens of miles, but in the process of fighting, this range was constantly compressed, and the encirclement was also rapidly tightened.

The thieves who were originally scattered everywhere were also being driven and gathered, although some people were lucky enough to break through, but after all, only a few, the vast majority of the Jihu disciples were still trapped in this encirclement, constantly trying to break through, and constantly being beaten back.

At this point, life and death are no longer enough to distinguish whether you are lucky or not.

The dead are finally silent, but the living have to endure great panic, not only the wolf-like officers and soldiers around them will kill them, but even the companions around them will threaten and push, trying to control them to use their bodies to resist the loss.

The battle lasted from early morning to early afternoon, and the battlefield shrank from a radius of dozens of miles to a reed beach on the west bank of the river. The reeds have long since withered and been harvested, and the tidal flats have long since become hard frozen soil, no longer muddy, the terrain is slightly sunken inward, and the surrounding area is completely undefendable.

Tens of thousands of Jihu people all gathered on this tidal flat, and as far as the eye could see, there were surging heads and swaying figures.

Among them, less than half of the Hu soldiers with weapons in their hands were far less than half, most of them were old and weak women and children, and they themselves were not necessarily evil, but because they were reincarnated as Ji Hu, they would be deprived of the qualification to live, and they all let out hoarse yells and begging sounds, and some pointed at the officials and soldiers and scolded them sadly and angrily.

There were still several miles in the radius of this tidal flat, and after forming a joint encirclement, several men and horses did not continue to attack, but each led a group of troops to gather troops and stationed around the tidal flat, surrounded on three sides, leaving only a dry riverbed in the east as a way out.

It's just that this way out may not be the way out, and now that the enemy is gathered together, there is no organized surrender and no sign of it, which shows that those Hao chiefs know that their life is slim, and they still have a stubborn heart of resistance.

In such a situation, if you attack again, it is very likely to turn into a scuffle. In order to survive in death, the thieves and soldiers who have been put to death will inevitably fight desperately and stubbornly.

After most of the high-intensity fighting, the men and horses of all the troops were already very tired, and there was no need to reluctantly launch an attack, so they were stationed on the spot, not only to rest and adjust, but also to break the stubborn fighting spirit of the thief army with this powerful deterrent.

Li Tai, who had been wandering around the battlefield and playing soy sauce for most of the day, took the initiative to take on the task of building a camp and guarding at this time, so that the three people who were seriously exhausted could rest.

Seeing that the official army had stopped attacking, and after watching for a while, the group gradually calmed down, and although they were already surrounded by a heavy siege, they were still relieved.

When the mood returns to stability, it is natural to find a way to save yourself. Not long after, Hu Zhong, who had been coerced and pushed to the outermost part of the tidal flat, suddenly broke away from the main army, raised his hands to show surrender, and quickly ran towards the side of the official army.

Li Tai was about to arrange for his men and horses to receive the captives who led the surrender, but a group of cavalry rushed out of the thief formation and slashed straight at the backs of the Hu people who wanted to surrender, and soon slaughtered these traitors.

When the surrounding Hu people saw this scene, they were all frightened, and even if there were still people who wanted to surrender, they all bowed their heads deeply at this time, not daring to make any more changes.

Li Tai saw that these thieves were still stubborn and refused to bow their heads, and he was also angry in his heart, and after a little groaning, he ordered his own soldiers to go to the rear to lure Liu Kuzhen here.

After Liu Kuzhen came here, he first knelt in front of Li Tai's feet and slapped his horse, and pressed all the fierce fighting achievements of the three generals on Li Tai's body, and then pointed to the huzhong on the beach and ridiculed, proudly saying that these people were not as smart as themselves, and they surrendered early.

Li Tai asked this undisciplined guy to stand up first, and then pointed to the Hu people on the opposite side and said to him: "After a few days of companionship, Liu Mou's heart to righteousness is very sincere, and I also see it, and I intend to live you and restore the people." Thy relatives of thy people must be among the thieves at the moment, and thou shalt come forward and surrender, and no matter how much thou shalt surrender, all shall be under thy rule. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, thank you for your ...... I and the slave will be loyal and serve and help the Metropolitan Governor to achieve great deeds! ”

The sycophants of the past few days have finally made great progress and returns, Liu Kuzhen was so excited that he burst into tears for a while, and knelt down again, holding Li Tai's boots is kneeling and licking his loyalty, and then hurriedly said: "The slave is just a loyal dog in front of the Dadu Governor, how dare he covet the authority of the ruling masses, but he can control the slave department for the Dadu Governor, and he has achieved his wish and has no regrets!" Governor, please wait, the slave will surrender the people! ”

As he spoke, this guy was going to roll up his sleeves and do a big job, not caring at all that there were more people in the field now, if he came forward to surrender, it would inevitably make the situation of his father, brother and relatives more dangerous.
