"Qingping, how many years have you been in the Zhenbei Army."

Xiao Wei didn't respond to Lan Qingping's excitement, but asked back.

Lan Qingping said without thinking: "Thirteen years and eight months. ”

For Xiao Qiang, they are all juniors, and since Xiao Biao took over the wolf ride, he is already the fourth general.

He joined the army at the age of twenty-four, was transferred to the Zhenbei Army at the age of twenty-seven, and joined the wolf cavalry in the same year.

Xiao Wei said: "If I'm not mistaken, you entered the Xiaozi battalion first, and then you were promoted until the wolf rode the general." ”

Lan Qingping responded.

He was transferred to the Zhenbei Army by the Captain of the Eagle Strike Commander of the Government Army, and he was in charge of a battalion as soon as he came, and he also participated in the big battles and small battles in the back, and he was promoted all the way, with the accumulation of military merits, and the importance of the generals.

But he didn't understand what Xiao Wei meant by saying this now, and what it had to do with what they had talked about before.

was thinking about it, but heard Xiao Wei say again: "This time the eighth battalion is transferred, you will go to the town in person." ”

"General!" Lan Qingping hurriedly shouted softly.

He never thought that not only did he not let the other seven battalions stay, but he also took himself inside.

Xiao Wei waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and be impatient.

"Chi Yan's bones are treacherous but not lacking in caution, not to mention just leaving the nine-character battalion, even if the wolf cavalry is here, he will not give the wolf cavalry a chance to take advantage of it, so that the wolf cavalry will have another chance to shake the current battle situation with his own strength. It will only make it more cautious and careful to deal with the wolf rider, but it will be difficult to find a good opportunity. ”

"And the scattered nine-character battalion is already good at chaotic warfare, and the role they can play behind enemy lines, no one can predict, and it can play a miracle effect. But many of them are a little bit less courageous now, and I want you to add two fires to them. ”

"You also said that I left these troops behind, which is not enough to shake the situation of the war, and Yanbei Pass cannot afford to lose. I agree with this, so I will hand over this important task to you, and take them to fight the situation of wolf riding and plundering, let them see for themselves, and let everyone in the world see what a wolf ride is! Go and give us, the Third Army in Zhenbei, and Yanbei Pass a chance. ”

"My wolf ride is not a guard dog, it was so before, it is now, and it will be so in the future!"

Every time Xiao Xiao said a word, Lan Qingping's expression calmed down a little, and at the end he took a deep breath, pressed the knife and got up, hugged his fist at Xiao Xiao and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

Since the battle of Yanbei Pass five years ago, or even further, seven years ago, he was promoted to the wolf cavalry Zuo Yu Hou Junlang general, and the wolf cavalry has actually suffered a series of losses in recent years.

Although there are constantly new pawns to make up, it has not fallen too far into the name of the wolf rider.

But in fact, the wolf rider has gradually tended to be defended.

There is not one real wolf rider in a hundred, the battles are frequent, and there are too many new pawns, all of which have led to a decline in the combat power of the wolf rider, and the losses in every battle are much more than in the past.

In fact, not only these soldiers have lost some of the spirit that wolf riders should have, but even the 'veterans' who have survived have more worries in their hearts.

Afraid of the defeat of the wolf, afraid of the lack of combat strength of the new soldiers, afraid of losing the lives of more soldiers again and again.

Obviously, Xiao Wei is not unaware of these problems, nor is he not dissatisfied with this result.

It's just that this problem can be effectively solved not by talking about it, but by enlightening and teaching lessons.

Now to open it, the time has come, and there is no way back, so it is better to give it a go.

Xiao Wei also said frankly: "I do have the intention of keeping the fire when I transfer out the eighth battalion, but what I want is also a real wolf horse." ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Lan Qingping, who looked back calmly, but his eyes were full of certainty, "The last general understands the general's intentions, and he will live up to the general's expectations!" ”

Xiao Wei didn't say anything more, his big hand fell on Lan Qingping's shoulder and patted it lightly.

Lan Qingping gave another salute and turned to leave.

An hour later, in addition to the Wushuang Battalion, the Wolf Cavalry Nine-character Battalion of the Chinese Army left the camp and went north one after another.

Early the next morning, the wolf cavalry pulled out the camp and marched again, twenty miles away from the right flank of the legal army, and stopped and lined up.

One thousand trapped camps were in the center, two thousand five hundred light cavalry of the Marquis of Yu were placed on the left and right, the Wushuang battalion was in front of the front, and the accompanying stragglers were at the end.

Such a movement can't hide the attention of the legal army.

With the general Mu Yehu as the main general, Chi Yan Gu Mo Ying gathered 5,000 elite cavalry, 10,000 light cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, sword and shield men, spearmen, and crossbowmen, a total of 50,000 troops, ten times the number to meet the past.

It was nearly noon, and the two armies confronted each other in the field, hunting with banners, and killing and breaking the clouds.

Knock knock...

Woo woo...

The drums of war were beating, the trumpets were playing, and the two armies were moving slowly, and the sound of footsteps on the ground could be heard for miles.

Mu Yehu's expression was solemn and excited.

Relatively speaking, they are just rising stars, but Xiao Wei is a famous general who has a reputation in all countries in the world, and the wolf rider is an elite division that has been famous for hundreds of years.

He was excited and looking forward to fighting with the wolf rider and Xiao Qiang, and hoped to bury Xiao Qiang and the wolf rider in the dust with his own hands, so as to go down in history and prestige in the world.

But he didn't rush forward, and he didn't even dare to bully the less, and directly ordered the 20,000 cavalry under his command to charge into battle, and the cavalry duel.

Instead, 30,000 foot soldiers were mixed into a formation, with 1,000 people in each small phalanx, 40 percent of the sword and shield bearers and spearmen, and 20 percent of the remaining crossbowmen.

Forty shields were lined up in front of each shield hand, and forty spearmen were behind, and the spears were placed on the shield wall like a hedgehog. Behind that, three paces are left, supplemented by twenty archers lined up.

In this way, it is really mixed into a row of phalanxes, and it is stacked layer by layer.

Then twenty thousand squares are divided into five large squares, which are spread out in a horizontal arc.

Among the five large phalanxes, there were 6,000 crossbowmen and 4,000 melee foot soldiers left as reserves.

It was followed by the middle army of 5,000 elite cavalry, as well as the three light cavalry formations on the left and right.

This formation is also the famous "door nail array" of the Law Dynasty, named because it resembles a door nail, and also refers to its ability to defend the body.

This formation is known for being on the defensive.

Mu Yehu's deployment of this formation can be regarded as showing that he does not intend to take the initiative at all.

Even when the two armies were arrayed and five hundred paces apart, they ordered to stop, no longer advance, and only lined up to wait.

Xiao Wei did not rush to attack, he was very familiar with this nail formation, but he also had to observe the specific situation, when he was four hundred steps away from the enemy, the wolf cavalry also stopped marching, and the rear camp scattered soldiers and craftsmen, quickly formed a high platform, and Xiao Wei strode forward.

There was no plot of the two armies scolding and challenging each other, and after a while, on the high platform, the flag was dancing, and the wolf cavalry Yu Hou army separated from the two wings and inserted into the enemy formation from both sides.

Mu Yehu did not rush to meet the attack, but just ordered the foot soldiers on both sides to block the enemy.

And the wolf cavalry did not intend to charge the formation with light horses, and the two sides were tested by a rain of arrows, but there was only a little damage, and the Yuhou light cavalry had already beaten the horse and returned to the formation.

In this way, there were no flaws on the side of the legal army, and the layers of shield walls became a solid fortress, and the crossbowmen hidden in them dodged behind the shield after shooting the arrows, and let the arrows of the Marquis of Yu clange against the shield, or shoot into the ground behind the shield wall.

The soldiers of the legal army, including Mu Yehu, were all greatly boosted, and the three temptations of Yu Hou's light cavalry brought them extremely limited damage, but they suffered a lot of damage, leaving two or three hundred corpses of men and horses in front of the legal army array.

This made the legal army, which already had an absolute numerical advantage, very fearless, thinking that as long as they strictly guarded this formation, the wolf riders would either retreat on their own, or they could only take risks and directly press the heavy horses.

But then the Wushuang battalion was killed together with the two wings of Yuhou light cavalry, and the Yuhou light cavalry only threw a round of arrows from a distance, and then they untied their round shields one by one, held them horizontally, and were about forty paces away from the enemy's formation, swinging horizontally in both directions, and quickly interspersed.

The array of legal infantry soldiers is quite thick, and the only ones who can kill the light cavalry of the Marquis of Yu at this distance are only the few crossbowmen in the front row after all.

When the arrows they shot were all staring at Yu Hou's light horse, the quiver was almost missed.

The Wushuang Battalion fought directly through the gap in the tail of the Yuhou Light Cavalry, which had been reversed, and marched towards the array in front of the legal army, and the head of the pocket was gradually thrown down with three rounds of spears.

With the thud of the law's shield, it was pierced by a sharp and heavy spear, and in an instant it was smashed into a gap, like the blade of an axe being cut off.

The five hundred white-robed silver armor of the Wushuang Battalion, like a sharp blade sharpening iron, cut directly into it.

One by one, the soldiers of the unequaled battalion, holding halberds, pecked and pushed, and played the snow-bright divination halberd like a flower, quickly reaping the lives of the legal soldiers.

Especially the captain Su Jin, a half-foot tiger lying silver halberd in his hand, the strength condensed the halberd blade, picking thorns and hooking pecks, whether it was the legal army's infantry armor or the big shield, nothing could be done, all of them were penetrated, and the enemy was killed, and the enemy was quickly cut apart, breaking inward, and the enemy was not seen.

However, the numerical advantage of the legal army, even if it is only in a part, is not reduced in the slightest, and the foot soldiers on both sides, seeing that the middle formation is lost, are busy moving their feet, layer by layer towards the location of the Wushuang battalion, squeezing past.

At this time, Yu Hou's army quickly joined in one place, and returned to the front of the formation again, with the intention of breaking the formation with him.

Mu Yehu didn't dare to slack off, the combat power of the Wushuang Battalion had already surprised him, although it was not panicked, but it would not let him calmly have a helping hand.

Once the array in front of it was really completely torn apart, the wolf rode into the formation and rushed in heavy armor, not to mention the Chinese army, the infantry of the front army would be difficult to resist.

At that moment, he gave another order, and the light cavalry on the left flank quickly left the formation and moved forward, and the light cavalry of the Marquis Yu was intercepted.

But without waiting for the light cavalry on the left flank of the legal army to take place, the light cavalry of the Marquis of Yu turned to meet it, and after the wolf cavalry fell into the formation, the light cavalry composed of various battalions of stragglers was lined up in front of the heavy cavalry, and there was also the intention of rushing.

Mu Yehu watched from a distance, and immediately pressed the light cavalry on the right flank again and intercepted it.

But the stragglers and light cavalry only traveled a hundred paces away, and then stopped, but the Wushuang battalion broke away from the enemy formation and killed the flank of the light cavalry that greeted the law.

This move made the generals of the Delu Army, including Mu Yehu, stunned, and couldn't understand why the wolf rider would give up such a good opportunity to break the formation, but instead gave them time to reorganize the infantry array.

Although their light cavalry is not the opponent of the Wushuang Battalion, but the speed is faster and there are more people, after turning back to the formation, it is not a difficult task, if you want to leave the two winged light cavalry, even with the strength of the Wushuang Battalion, it is impossible to do it!

However, he did not delay Mu Yehu's order, recalled the light cavalry on both wings, lured the enemy cavalry to the vicinity of the left and right infantry arrays, and at the same time ordered the crossbowmen phalanx to press the two wings to create as much damage as possible to the Yuhou light cavalry and the Wushuang battalion.

On the side of the French soldiers, they also forbade the order, and did not entangle with the wolf riders more, retreating while fighting, wanting to make the wolf riders unclear about the situation, and came to the left and right of the infantry array, creating opportunities for the crossbowmen to kill the enemy.

At this moment, the wolf rode the trapped army forward, and suddenly separated the two, and the craftsmen of the army pushed out dozens of crossbows assembled from behind the trapped army, and a group of stragglers pretending to be light horses also quickly retreated and sideways, avoiding the front.

In the sound of breaking the wind, dozens of huge crossbow arrows slashed into the air, each arrow pierced through several large shields, and the legal army behind was pierced through the gourd, killing the legal army foot soldiers who had just rearranged the formation, and then opened a gap.

At the same time, the armored cavalry of the trapping army turned over and mounted in unison, paced and rushed towards the formation of the legal army.

"Trapped!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Xiao Xiao dragged a long-handled sledgehammer in his hand, lined up in the first place, and after the third round of crossbow arrows were shot down, it suddenly accelerated, and the trapped army smashed into the formation of the legal army.

Mu Yehu hurriedly gave the order, the reserve infantry pressed forward, and the infantry of the front army moved closer to the center in two formations, so as to block the impact of the trapped army and trap it in place.

At this moment, Mu Yehu was nervous and excited, he felt that the opportunity to destroy the wolf rider was already in front of him.

The 5,000 elite cavalry of the middle army of the legal army and the 5,000 light cavalry of the rear army have been gathered in one place, and when the horses of the trapped army are stagnant, they will go forward and bury all the wolf horsemen here with their own hands.

However, at the same time that the trapping army broke through the formation of the French infantry, the straggler light cavalry, which had been neglected, except for the first battalion of military doctors, was also rushing forward to supplement behind the Wushuang battalion.

Immediately afterwards, the Wushuang Battalion, the Skirmish Light Cavalry, and the Yuhou Light Cavalry all quickly got rid of the legal light cavalry, and from the left and right flanks, from the weak point of the array generated by the front and rear dispatch of the legal infantry phalanx, they entered strongly.

In this battle, they are the real trapped army!
