In most wars, the defeat of a partial division does not directly shake the morale of the army, as long as they are not defeated in front of the main army.

But for the Jing army on the battlefield, the two thousand cavalry were directly scattered by the Southern Qi cavalry, which made many people in a trance.

Even though they couldn't believe it, the head of Yawuta was ironclad, not to mention that it was the Nanqi cavalry who returned to the main battlefield, and their comrades disappeared - if they hadn't lost and been disabled in the battle, the two thousand cavalry would never have fled directly.

Jing Jun's pride is not innate, but the strength forged by victory.

Even if the Southern Qi border army shined in the past two years of warfare and won victories again and again, in the eyes of these Jing soldiers today, those victories are not enough, after all, their opponent is the loosely armed Yan army.

Now that the Jing Dynasty has completely digested the newly occupied territory of the Northland, it will not take long to completely annex the Zhao State, and the territory is incomparably vast and far exceeds that of the Southern Qi.

All these things made the Jing army stationed in Heluo City full of confidence, and they firmly believed that as long as they made a move, the Southern Qi border army would definitely swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

This confidence supported the 8,000 Jing Army infantry to withstand the Qi army several times their size, no matter how difficult the situation was, they never messed up like the Yan army from beginning to end, until Lu Shen led the blood-stained cavalry of the Ruishi battalion to appear in front of them and threw the bloody head at their feet.

Although the cavalry and infantry of the Jingjun army have always looked down on each other, it is an internal contradiction, and they will not deny each other's strength, on the contrary, they will have the idea of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world and they are the second".

The roars of the soldiers of the Rui Shi Battalion in unison spread all around, and most of the Jing Army infantry soldiers were panicked for the first time in their hearts.

And this is exactly the time that Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Shen have been waiting for.

Lu Shen led the cavalry of the Ruishi Battalion from the southwest side of the battlefield diagonally upward, to the side of the 3,000 foot soldiers, covering the movement of this well-trained pikemen to the northwest of Jing's army, that is, directly behind them.

In the previous battle, Xiao Wangzhi used the strategy of encircling three and missing one, and deliberately vacated the northwest side of the Jing army, which was based on the consideration of giving the Jing army a way out to avoid the opponent's trapped beast fight. However, when the Jing army ambushed the soldiers, the other party's purpose was also exposed, and they obviously would not withdraw from the battlefield easily, so it evolved into a real decisive battle.

The appearance of the Rui Shi Battalion filled this vacancy, and now the Jing army is completely surrounded by the Huaizhou army.

Xiao Wangzhi observed the situation ahead from the chariot, and gave the final order after a while.

"Order Pei Di, Duan Zuozhang, Song Shifei, Kang Yanxiao, the whole army has become a fish scale formation, and you must destroy the formation of the Jing army!"

At this time, the battlefield was already extremely noisy, and although the flag order could play a role, there was a possibility that it would be ignored by the generals below, so a group of rangers in charge of the order rode their horses to various places.

As the name suggests, the main forces are assembled in the center, divided into a number of small phalanxes in the shape of fish scales, arranged according to echelons, and the front end is slightly convex, which belongs to the strong attack formation of concentrating forces to encircle and suppress the enemy's Chinese army.

A middle-aged man appeared beside Xiao Wangzhi, standing side by side with him, staring at the battlefield in front of him with a tide of killings, and said with emotion: "If you don't say it, it's hard for me to believe that such a huge strategic concept came from Lu Shen's kid. ”

Xiao Wangzhi turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Haven't you seen him in Baotai Mountain leading troops to fight?" ”

The middle-aged man was naturally Wei Chigui, who had disappeared for a while, and smiled when he heard this: "I've seen it, but that time is very different from this time." At that time, the purpose of the Yanjing coalition was obvious, Lu Shen occupied the right time and place, and the people in the mountains had extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities, and the enemy's whereabouts could not be hidden at all, so Lu Shen could formulate countermeasures according to the opponent's tactics. However, there are many uncontrollable factors this time, such as whether the Jing army will retreat, whether there are reinforcements, and whether it will act according to your expectations. ”

"The battlefield and the rivers and lakes are two very different environments."

Xiao Wangzhi smiled lightly, and then said: "The people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to happiness, enmity and hatred, and there are many uncertainties in their actions, so it is difficult to determine what you will do next, but war is not so casual. The movement of large armies is not child's play, especially with an experienced and well-trained army like Jing Jun, and their every decision will not be taken for granted. ”

Wei Chigui bowed slightly: "In other words, from the moment Jing Jun chose to be stationed here, you knew that there must be ambushes behind them?" ”

"There will be at least six or seven percent of the probability, if there is no ambush, it is naturally better, our army can solve this Jing army more easily, Lu Shen is thinking that if there is an ambush, how can we achieve the greatest victory? Although this may cause a waste of troops, it is better than being unprepared and being countered by the enemy. ”

Xiao Wangzhi looked at the changes in the formation of the Jing army in the distance, and said: "As the commander of an army, if you want to achieve the final victory, you must think one step more than the enemy. Although Lu Shen is still very young, he has done a good job in this matter, and I am very optimistic about his future. ”

Wei Chigui vaguely noticed the deep meaning of his words, what does the so-called thinking one more step mean?

He looked at the complicated scene on the battlefield, and could only see that the Huaizhou army was gradually gaining the upper hand, and the Jing army seemed to have no way to reverse the situation.

On the vast plains, the Jing army was in a difficult situation, and there was great pressure on all sides.

When Lu Shen led the cavalry of the Ruishi Battalion to kill him, the female Lu Huan was only stunned for a few moments, and then immediately made adjustments.

He asked the Jing army ambush soldiers that appeared later to converge in the middle and merge with the infantry of the main formation, and then used the fleeting opportunity to complete the combination of the formation, so as to form a large square circle formation of more than 15,000 people.

The burly sword and shield soldiers in full armor blocked the outermost periphery, and the strong pikemen waited for the opportunity to attack behind the shields, although now this large square circle formation was not as easy to rotate as before, but under the command of the two generals, Lu Huan and Liuke, the Jing army could still stand on its feet.

The rout of the cavalry did have a certain impact on them, but this news could not completely penetrate the resilience of the Jing army's foot soldiers.

Faced with the siege of more than 30,000 elites of the Huaizhou army, the Jing army showed the reason why they were able to gallop the world.

But what the female Lu Huan didn't expect was that the first problem to arise was actually the back formation.

"Da Shenyin, the rear team sent someone to urgently report and beg for help!"

This sentence made the female Lu Huan's face change slightly, the left, right, and the first three departments faced the siege of the four main forces of Huaizhou for a long time, and there was no sign of rout until now, but the rear formation was the first to resist, you must know that their enemy is only the Rui Shi battalion!

The female Lu Huan boarded the lookout car and looked behind, and soon frowned.

The two armies of the Rui Shi Battalion cavalry and infantry cooperated very tacitly, with 3,000 pikemen advancing step by step, and the cavalry covering and looking for opportunities on the flanks, as long as there was a flaw in the defense of the Jing army, they could find this breakthrough in a very short time, and then completely disrupt the formation of the Jing army.

The female Lu Huan has so much experience in commanding, he only looked at it for a moment and realized a serious problem, this Rui Shi battalion turned out to be the real killer weapon of the Huaizhou Army!

If he knew more about the intelligence of the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion, he should know that the Rui Shi Battalion was not a ragtag army composed of new recruits, but a trump card formed by the combination of the Lu family guards, Xiao Wangzhi's personal soldiers and the elites drawn from various armies in Huaizhou, and it had undergone a year of rigorous training.

The rear army's formation was precarious, and the female Lu Huan couldn't help but look up at the farther northwest at this moment, that was the only chance for the Jing army to turn the situation around!

At a distance of about ten miles from the battlefield, a cavalry of the Jing Army with one man and two horses advanced quickly.

About half an hour ago, the commander of this cavalry had received an urgent report sent by Nu Lu Huan, and the Huaizhou army launched an offensive early this morning, hoping that they could rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to support.

The main general's name is Balihai, and he is Mou Lianghu's most trusted lieutenant, and he is the same as the female Lu Huan.

In the hunting wind, Balihai rode his horse towards the valuable young military general next to him, and said loudly: "Please Your Highness delay and watch the battle, and the last general will lead these five thousand elite horsemen to crush the enemy!" ”

Before leaving, he was told by Mou Lianghu that no matter whether the war went smoothly or not, he could not let His Royal Highness the County Lord personally take risks, in case Qing Yu Huaijin had an accident on the battlefield, they could not afford the consequences.

"The soldiers are under your full command, and I will not give military orders past you."

Qing Yu Huaijin's tone was cold, and with a bit of pride: "However, the children of the Qing Yu family are not nestlings hiding in caves, don't you know that I have been practicing martial arts since I was six years old, and I can also kill the enemy on the battlefield!" ”

Of course, Balihai knows that Changshan County Wang Qingyu Gong is the number one master of Dajing, and the Qingyu family has a family history, although the martial arts of His Royal Highness the county lord around him are not the top in the world, but they are more than enough to meet the enemy on the battlefield.

Without waiting for Balihai to continue to persuade, Qing Yu Huaijin said awe-inspiringly: "Balihai, concentrate on commanding the battle, don't worry about my safety!" ”

"Obey!"

The Caspian Sea gathered its mind and looked up to the south.

After a few miles, the huge battlefield in the south jumped into view, and the Balpian immediately ordered: "Change horses!" Battle! ”

Between the mountains and fields, five thousand horsemen swept from northwest to southeast like a rolling river, and while they rushed forward, all the cavalry changed to another galloping horse one after another.

Although their movements were not absolutely uniform, none of them made a mistake in the process of running at high speed, which shows that the Jingchao Iron Cavalry is worthy of its name.

Qing Yu Huaijin saw the banner of the Rui Shi battalion at first glance, as well as the cavalry guarding the two flanks of the infantry.

Lu Shen turned his head to look, only to see thousands of cavalry appear on the plain several miles away, rushing towards the main battlefield.

Stepping on the clouds and chasing the moon, like thunder!
