"This battle is really ......" Shen Luoyan shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I can only face it head-on." ”

Li Mi and Tang Que both frowned, they knew that what Shen Luoyan said was not wrong, not for any other reason, but because of time, considering that the army of Laihu'er and Yuwenshu were only half a day's journey, and this battle would end in one day, leaving less than twelve hours for them.

"It doesn't matter, after all, we are still waiting for work, and if we have a mind or not, Yuwenshu will suffer this loss. Tang Que said.

"But the only thing we can do in our hands is the Lei Cavalry Red Brigade in your hand, the 20,000 new troops will definitely not be able to count on it, and the Western Army can exert some combat effectiveness is also very hanging, I am afraid that even a surprise attack will not be able to defeat Yuwenshu's army in a short time. Shen Luoyan shook his head and sighed, "Besides, although Yuwenshu is not a good general, he has also been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he be defenseless when Chang'an is in front of him?"

"General Zhao, what is the strength of the Lei Cavalry?" Li Mi turned his head and asked.

"Enough to break through any line of defense. Zhao Xin said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Li Mi was not very convinced, "the thunder cavalry should be a light cavalry equipped only with leather armor, right?"

"Yes. Zhao Xin nodded.

The core concept of Lei Cavalry is speed, in Tang Que's heart, the speed of the cavalry is better than a qiē, and when the speed is equal, armor is more useful than weapons, the most ideal armor is chain mail, but it is not realistic to arm a chain mail cavalry army with Yang Xuangan's financial resources, so Tang Que still chose light leather armor and reduced the weight in exchange for faster speed. This theory stems from his emphasis on morale, and high-speed cavalry can not only disrupt the enemy's strategic deployment, but also kill the enemy when he is not psychologically prepared, and achieve a great psychological advantage.

The key to deciding this battle was the use of the Thunder Cavalry Red Brigade. Tang Que, Li Mi, and Shen Luoyan all deeply understood this, and all tactics would be formulated around the 20,000 Thunder Cavalry Red Brigade.

Just when Tang Que and the others were still discussing tactics, Yuwenshu had already launched an operation, he divided the scouts into fifty squads, and began to reconnoiter the surrounding environment, and after getting accurate information, he began to march slowly, Chang'an was already in front of him, so he naturally didn't have to worry.

Li Mi also sent scouts to spy on Yuwenshu's military situation, and the scouts on both sides were very careful not to let the other party find out, even so, the wind and rain were like a thousand pounds falling on everyone's hearts, even if there was no news to report, Tang Que and the others knew that Yuwenshu's army was nearby.

Judging by the speed of his march, he must have been extremely cautious in every step, otherwise the army would have appeared in front of him a long time ago.

"Brother Li, this battle is inevitable, and it can only be shaken head-on. Tang Que said in a deep voice, "Let's arrange the troops." ”

Li Mi nodded, "That's it." General Zhao. ”

"The last general!" Zhao Xin replied.

"You lead 10,000 thunder horsemen out of the camp first, don't let Yu Wenshu find out. Li Mi said, "At the right time, General Zhao, you are leading the Lei Cavalry to cut into the battlefield, this time is ...... It's up to you. ”

"The last general commands!" Zhao Xin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Mi to completely hand over the only cavalry in the army to himself, such trust made his heart stir, he knew that the most important link to decide this war had been handed over to his own hands, and his decision would determine the life and death of nearly 400,000 people, he turned around and walked out of the military tent, his expression was as resolute as iron.

"Mi Gong ......" Shen Luoyan was a little hesitant, she thought that it was too risky to put all the chips on Zhao Xin, and they should have a better choice, but she saw Li Mi and Tang Que silently exchanging a look, Tang Que showed a "hello jiān deceit" look, Li Mi smiled and replied with a "You are not bad" look, Shen Luoyan pondered slightly, and immediately suddenly realized.

"Brother Li is far-sighted and has no admiration. Tang Que said with a smile, although Li Mi's idea was risky, but if you think about it carefully, it is the most appropriate tactic.

"Where, where. Li Mi smiled, "Isn't it obvious at a glance? ”

Shen Luoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, when was the time it was the two of them still in the mood to praise each other, the future of the war was imminent, why didn't they feel pressure?

"If so...... , at that time, the army will be dispatched by Luoyan. Li Mi smiled.

"It's the wild goose's job. Shen Luoyan was still very respectful to Li Mi, and when she turned her head and saw Tang Que looking at her happily, she couldn't help glaring at him, but this glance fell on Tang Que's eyes without the slightest power at all, and the look of joy and anger made Tang Que's heart flutter.

An hour later, Yu Wenshu and Li Mi received the message brought back by the spies almost at the same time, at this time, the distance between the two armies was only ten miles, and the two armies stopped advancing at the same time as they had a tacit understanding. That kind of tranquility before the storm, Tang Que also felt unprecedented pressure, and the battle with Yuwenshu would be the most difficult battle in the past six months, and the opponent was no longer the peasant gangsters led by speculators and power-grabbers, but the expedition led by the battlefield general.

And their own side is just a mixture of the defeated army and the new army, and I really don't know how many streets I was thrown off compared to the combat strength.

The 10,000 thunder cavalry had already left the camp with Zhao Xin, and the remaining 10,000 Red Brigades could withstand the attack of Yuwenshu's army? Even Tang Que had no confidence in his heart.

Yuwenshu's army slowly pulled out again, and when the army appeared in the sight of Tang Que and the others, even Shen Luoyan couldn't help but clench his fists. The phalanx composed of 200,000 troops is so large and shocking, every step will trample the earth and shake, the soldiers are wearing strong armor one by one, holding sharp weapons in their hands, their expressions are solemn, Tang Que looked back at his side, and clearly saw that many new troops had obvious fear on their faces, the Western Army is a little better, after all, it is also an army that has undergone formal training and has been on the battlefield, and it is still much better than the new army.

If the new army survives this battle, it will inevitably become jīng rui, but before that, they are just trained rookies.

The formation of Li Mi's army has been expanded, Tang Que led 10,000 Western Army as the left wing, Shen Luoyan led the new army and 10,000 Western Army each as the right wing, Li Mi was in the middle of the dispatch, waiting for the arrival of Yu Wenshu.

The heavy horn sounded, and Yuwenshu's army gradually advanced, and the distance between the two armies continued to shorten, 500 meters, 300 meters, and 100 meters...... Finally, there are only fifty meters left!

"Archers prepare!" Tang Que calmly judged the area covered by the shè attack, and it was not until the opponent's front army was only fifty meters away from his side that Tang Que decisively ordered, "Release!"

At the same time, Shen Luoyan's right wing also issued the same order.

The dense rain of arrows covered the enemy's entire front army, causing a large number of casualties and at the same time Yuwenshu also launched a charge! As if he could not see his fallen companions around him, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards Li Mi's army without fear of death, and the follow-up army also began to attack the long-range suppression of the left and right flanks!

"Crossbowman ready!" Seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, "Put!"

"The first row retreats, the second row prepares...... "The second row retreats, and the third row prepares...... Put!"

The crossbowmen had only time to deliver three strikes before the enemy rushed in front of them with the corpses of their own men!

"Crossbowmen retreat, sword and shield men prepare!"

Finally, the hand-to-hand battle!

"Kill!" Tang Que waved his wide sleeves, and did not look at the soldiers who were fighting with the Sui army, but set his eyes on the Chinese army, that is, where Li Mi was.

The pressure on the left flank is not as great as imagined, and it will not be defeated for a while and a half, so the most likely place for Yuwenshu to invest troops should be the Chinese army.

In fact, it is also the case, Yuwenshu did not use strategy, but steadily advanced, concentrating most of his troops in the middle, as long as he broke through Li Mi's Chinese army, the outcome of this war was basically doomed.

Defeating outnumbered people is the king of the art of war, Li Mi sighed and ordered, "Let the two wings be closed to support the Chinese army." ”
