Lu Yu laughed and said:

"If he doesn't have a few brushes, how can I take out all the snake swallowers to give him the town scene? Since you all think that the person I selected is competent to be the head of the big battalion, then don't make any stumbling blocks below, the current battle is the time when I want to reverse the fortunes of the country, and the foundation of the eternal years is to lay this battle, we must fight this battle without distractions, and all our strength must be used in one place!"

When he said the last few words, Lu Yu was already a little harsh, after listening to these generals around him, some people were naturally very calm, and some were not used to seeing Lin Fengjin too young, or they disliked him for blocking his family's way of progress, but the vest was already soaked with cold sweat.

It's not terrible for a person to be talented, and there are many people in the world who don't meet talents, and they don't see how it is, but if they are both talented and appreciated by big people, the combination of the two is very terrible.

After Lu Yu became the monarch, the old man who accompanied him in the "hidden mansion" in the past was naturally a person who attained the Tao, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven, but the king had to talk about the way of checks and balances, and he would inevitably promote a group of newcomers.

So at this time, Lu Yu's heir is only three years old, so it is natural to leave his most trusted old people in the Qiandi to guard Yedu, and bring out these newly promoted generals. Of course, these people don't think much about Lin Fengjin, who is in a hurry, until they see Lin Fengjin today, they can ask Lu Yu's most trusted snake swallower guard to show him the door, and they were also beaten by Lu Yu in words, so they know that Lin Fengjin's background is definitely not so simple, so after being beaten by Lu Yu for a few words, he put away that part of his mind early.

At this time, suddenly there was the sound of fast horses in the distance. Then there was a snake swallower guard galloping over, kneeling on the ground after dismounting, and sent Lu Yu an urgent military information, Lu Yu looked up to the sky and laughed after seeing it:

"The Zhongtang gang finally realized that something was wrong, and they actually asked for help from the Xirong people, and they wanted to exchange their horses at any cost! I guess now they also feel too uncomfortable without cavalry. ”

A general next to him also smiled and said:

"Change, why don't you let them change? Zhongtang and these idiots are also worthy of leading the army, they shouldn't think that if they ride a horse alone, they can be used as cavalry, right?"

Hearing the general's words, the rest of the people burst out laughing. Lu Yu also showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth:

"Right now, we will investigate closely, release all our sentinels, and comprehensively suppress the other party's sources, I want to make these people in Zhongtang become blind people with their eyes open!"

Five days later, the Central Tang Army set off, left Zuoliucheng, and headed for Dazu County in the northwest direction. the degree of five steps and one post,

Zuoliucheng was only eighty-three miles from Dazu County, and the Tang army walked out forty miles on the first day, and it seemed that the Northern Qi army had completely abandoned them. Completely disappeared from this world.

However, the next day, the Northern Qi army reappeared.

Under the strong suppression of the Northern Qi Army, the Chinese Tang Army sent out to sentry scouts and patrol horses suffered heavy casualties, which made their mobile strength especially worse. And this is still that kind of plain area, and the cavalry impact can be said to be extraordinarily fierce, from the appearance to the battle formation. It's almost a cup of tea.

When the Chinese and Tang armies were marching, it was impossible for them to form such a strong phalanx to walk, let alone wear armor and carry long swords and shields, and if the generals ordered them to do so, they would only be regarded as madmen -- because at this time, even the best official roads could only accommodate five or six carriages walking side by side, and it was simply unrealistic to directly form a phalanx and walk like a military parade.

At the same time, although there are often dozens of kilometers of forced marching in the era of hot weapons, but after the soldiers arrived at the destination, they only needed to retain the strength to pull the trigger to have enough combat power, and this time was the era of cold weapons.

Therefore, when the Zhongtang army marched for a long time, it was natural to follow the road into the shape of a long snake formation, in this situation, once it encountered the impact of the cavalry of the formation, even if the Zhongtang soldiers were strong, they must be armoured and arrayed to resist, and the whole army must be like this, otherwise, according to the mobility of the cavalry, it is not difficult to find the weak point and rush through.

And the time of tea kung fu, it is absolutely impossible for the Tang Army to achieve the whole army wearing armor in the process of walking, the transformation of the array, when they marched before, with the protection of the cavalry on both wings, you can avoid this problem very well, but everything in the world will feel precious after it is lost.

At this time, the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army has always maintained strong pressure on the Central Tang Army throughout the whole process, just like a wolf pack in the snow, just coldly following behind you, quietly waiting for the enemy to show flaws, at this time, in order to grasp the situation on the battlefield, the Central Tang Army wants to know where the Northern Qi cavalry gathers, where it may launch the main attack, and it is inevitable to send its own cavalry to patrol around to reconnoitre, but the Northern Qi Army has shown extremely strong pressure from the beginning, and more than 3,000 ranger sentinels have just been killed, and more than half of them were killed and injured in one day！

At this time, the ranger sentry detectives of the Tang Army had become frightened birds, and some people began to send out alarms indiscriminately, causing the whole army to line up in armor three times in a row in an hour, but the enemy only sent a symbolic harassment team, sneering and ridiculing in the distance, and even throwing and insulting the heads of the decapitated Chinese and Tang Army rangers at will, making the whole army impetuous!

However, just when the whole army of the Central Tang Army was already a little paralyzed, the Northern Qi Army suddenly divided into eight cavalry, each cavalry was about a thousand people, and at the same time launched a brazen charge against the Central Tang Army from eight positions, which looked like eight sharp daggers, and stabbed into the vital point of the Central Tang Army.

These eight cavalry can be said to be the main attack, but also a feint, once they find that the enemy is already heavily guarded in the direction of the attack, then they immediately change their direction and turn reality into reality. As soon as it is discovered that the enemy forces in the direction of the impact are chaotic and fail to form a formation, then they immediately turn the virtual into reality.

With this impact, a full four cavalry teams rushed into the array of the Central Tang Army, and immediately a bloody storm was rolled up!

This time the cavalry attacked the place just in the key point of the Tang Army, a large amount of grain and grass was ignited, the auxiliary soldiers were killed to the head, those used to drag the mules and horses were ruthlessly slaughtered, and by the time the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty formed a phalanx to come over for reinforcements, it was already late. Leaving behind the ground with blood and raging flames.

However, there are only two small ditches in this ghost place, and the muddy water that comes up is a drop in the bucket, and if you want to take a lot of water, you have to go to a small river three or four miles away, and at this time, three or four hundred cavalry suddenly galloped out of the woods next to it, and the auxiliary soldiers who went to get water were wantonly killed, as if they were slaughtering pigs and sheep, and then they could only send troops to protect the water line, and finally put out the fire. At least twenty or thirty cartloads of grain were burned, and more than ten cartloads of grain were drenched in water, and if they were not treated, they would have rotted and sprouted in two or three days.

Not only that. Among the auxiliaries, there are still a large number of people who have been taken captive or something, and at this time, it can be said that they are holding their heads and running away, and the situation is extremely chaotic for a while.

After this battle was fought. To be honest, the impact on the strength of the Tang Army itself is not too serious, it can be said that it is even one-tenth of its actual combat strength, no. There was no damage to one-twentieth of the army, however, the blow to the morale within the Tang Army could be said to be unprecedentedly huge!

At this time, they were extremely arrogant, and they were still immersed in the previous major generals suddenly realized one thing, that is, no matter how strong the soldiers of the Zhongtang Mansion were, they must always be able to beat each other!

They had never faced such an embarrassing situation before. When Li Jian was in power, he had always taken a defensive position against the Northern Qi, and the two sides were either fighting, either attacking and defending the city, or in the hilly areas on the border between the two countries, which were all areas where the cavalry of the Northern Qi could not fully exert their advantages. And more importantly, because the Zhongtang Dynasty has always been on the defensive, the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty are all fighting on their own territory, and the psychological advantage is very obvious.

On the next day, the soldiers of the Zhongtang Mansion only walked ten miles, and they were already exhausted from the attack, so they simply ordered to camp directly at three o'clock in the afternoon. However, do they think that everything will be fine if they camp in this wilderness? cough cough cough, this is really naïve! Before, the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty lived in Zuoliu City, which was protected by thick and tall city walls, so many of the Northern Qi cavalry's attack methods were not used, and at this time, they were holding their stomachs, and they just used a full set to let the group of bastards of the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers enjoy themselves.

Originally, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were also elite in a hundred battles, and the prevention of attacking the camp at night was naturally the top priority, so when setting up camp, there were naturally various countermeasures to use, such as digging several circles of trenches around the camp, or if the manpower was not enough, then they used something similar to the Luoyang shovel to dig a large number of thick pits on the ground, so that the horses would break their feet as soon as they stepped into it.

Another example is to build four sub-camps in the southeast, north, and west directions of the main camp, and the main camp is a horn to echo each other, so that if the enemy wants to attack the main camp, then he must first pass the sub-camp, as long as the enemy does not attack on a large scale, then do not want to attack the main camp.

There is another problem here, the spirit of all the soldiers during the day can be said to be tense, when they camp, they are eager to rest, and now once they camp, they have to do so many additional projects, it can be said that the amount of work has increased greatly, obviously the auxiliary soldiers alone are definitely not enough, but before the Northern Qi people were shameless to the auxiliary soldiers, in this way, if you want to do these jobs before dark, then the soldiers will also come out to help, which means that the next day will be later

The next day, when the Chinese and Tang troops had finished cooking and eating, drinking, and Lazar, they had already set out at 10 o'clock in the morning, two or three hours later than under normal circumstances, and as soon as they set out, they were immediately harassed by the Northern Qi cavalry as if they were endless! And all of them were wolf pack tactics in the form of squads, dividing and merging, gathering and scattering, and constantly interspersed and running, which was dazzling.

In such a situation, even if the general did not give an order, and the ordinary soldiers did not say, it was natural to put on the armor in a hurry and assemble the whole team, after all, in front of the cavalry that was as black as the tide, only by wearing armor and being in the ranks of colleagues could they have enough security.

However, the cavalry's greatest advantage and mobility were all brought into full play at this time, and as soon as they saw that they were ready to do so, they immediately pulled the reins, drew an arc and shot a few arrows, and then galloped away in a dashing manner! Although such an attack seemed to be an itch in the boots for the soldiers of the Zhongtang Mansion with strong defense, the feeling of being suppressed and beaten and unable to fight back was really embarrassing.

This is actually similar to the nature of being spit in the face, strictly speaking, the essence of being spit is not much different from being drenched in the rain, but the mental damage is quite great, so immediately a dozen or so grumpy and fierce soldiers rushed out of the queue as if they were crazy, pulled out their knives and aimed at the cavalry of the Northern Qi army.

But how can a two-legged outrun a four-legged one? What's more, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were covered with armor and shields, and the weight was at least more than 20 kilograms, and after the explosive rush out of two or three hundred meters, they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues like dogs, and at this time the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army calmly came over from both sides, stopped in place and showed an arc, that is, arrows rained down, although the dozen or so Tang soldiers shrank behind the shield and kept waving their knives to block, but the archery skills of these cavalry were extremely tricky and vicious, just two rounds of salvos, that is, the dozen or so Tang Dynasty soldiers were shot on the spot.
