The Tubo and the Great Zhou armies were about two hundred miles apart, and the Tubo cavalry occupied a condescending geographical advantage. Now the army is overwhelming with 300,000 people, and the formation is indeed quite amazing.

The scouts kept reporting the enemy's every move to Xue Shao.

When he knew that Qibiuxiong divided the average number of troops under his command into two and sent only 150,000 people to attack Qinghai Lake, Xue Shao's tactics finally took shape.

He said to the generals: "The crossbows are divided into two groups to condemn the 150,000 troops, and came to attack Qinghai Lake and Dafeichuan respectively. I think his intention is to first swallow the Black-Tooth Changzhi's troops, and then form a pincer attack on our army from the flanks. What do the generals think?" [__] Novel

"I agree." Lou Shide said, "It is the safest way to play against two."

Other generals also expressed their approval.

Xue Shao said: "Now, our enemy's advantage is very obvious. They fight mainly with cavalry and have a condescending geographical advantage. They are all plateau people who grew up in the local area and are more adaptable to the climate here than us. In addition, the side of Dafeichuan Heichi Changzhi will face great pressure. Whether he can defend it will be the key to this major battle. Mr. Lou."

"I am here." Lou Shide promised.

"I hope you can go to Dafeichuan to convey my intentions and give advice to Heichi Changzhi." Xue Shao said, "You two are old partners for many years, so there is definitely no problem in cooperation. I wonder what Lou Gong wants?"

"I agree." Lou Shide said decisively, "I will set off immediately after the meeting."

Xue Shao called Yi Li Chuoba, "I will send Yi Li Chuoba to lead the five hundred relatives and Yueqi and thirty scouts under my command to escort you to Dafeichuan together. Remember to contact us diligently."

"yes!"

Xue Shao nodded and said again: "According to the scout's return, Qijuan Xilan himself led a 150,000 army to attack Qinghai Lake. It is obvious that he wanted to defeat me with his own hands, but he came with anger. Such a person has a characteristic of using troops, which is fierce and impatient, and can only fight with the wind. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, our army should only avoid the enemy's sharp edge and defend firmly. When it is urgent to attack but not be able to stop, the morale and morale of the army will inevitably float violently. As long as the Black-Tooth Changzhi can also defend, we can take advantage of the enemy's three drums to defeat it, traumatize it, and kill it!"

All the generals were full of blood and shouted loudly, "Shi Shuai is mighty!"

Xue Shao waved his hand and told them not to be too excited, and then said, "No matter what, the combat power of the 150,000 plateau cavalry is absolutely not to be underestimated. Now our army is also fighting in the guest area, just like the original Garqinling. One of the biggest characteristics of the guest area combat is that the logistics is not guaranteed. Therefore, we must keep calm and win in the shortest possible time. This difficulty is not small at all, so the generals must not be careless and careless!"

"yes!"

"Now I order!" Xue Shao said, "The entire army uses the seven armies and six flower formations to meet the enemy. Cao Ren's army is the front army, Dang Jinpi and Guo Dapeng are the left and right army, Dugu Huizhi and Shazha Zhongyi are the left and right army. Xue Chuyu leads three thousand mobile jumping troops and his personal Xun Yue cavalry under his command to take charge of the central army. Regarding Gongren, you lead the rear army."

"Why are I arranged in the rear army?" Lun Gongren asked loudly.

Xue Shao looked at him coldly, "This is an order!"

Xue Chuyu quickly pulled him and signaled him not to speak.

"All the generals, come forward to receive the order!"

"yes!"

The generals came forward one by one to take the general order. Lu Gongren hesitated for a moment. Xue Chuyu pushed him, and then he stepped forward to take the general order.

"The generals follow the orders. Anyone who dares to make a decision to disrupt my war will be killed!"

"yes!"

Xue Shao waved his hand and said, "Distribute the account!"

All the generals came out one after another. Lun Gongren walked forward with a depressed look on his face, and Xue Chuyu hurriedly caught up with him, "You must not be in Xue Shuai's tent in the future, and you will be so arrogant and nonsense!"

"Why did I send me to the rear army again after I promised to be the vanguard?" Lun Gongren said angrily, "He clearly couldn't believe me!"

"Speak softly." Xue Chuyu quickly pulled him into the tent and said, "Didn't you see that Xue Shuai has transferred Yi Li Chuoba away on the excuse of giving you a chance to go into battle?"

Lun Gongren's eyes lit up slightly, "Where can you have any chance to squat in the back army?"

"You don't even know the Seven Army and Six Flower Formation?" Xue Chuyu asked.

"I have been familiar with my father in the Central Plains military books since I was a child, and of course I know!" Lu Gongren said unconvincedly.

Xue Chuyu smiled, "I think you are the one, not the other."

Lun Gongren blinked, "What do you say?"

"The biggest feature of the Seven Army Six Flower Formation is that the six soldiers and horses on the outside form a circle, and there is a flexible and mobile Yue cavalry in the middle, ready to accept any army among the six armies at any time." Xue Chuyu said, "The six soldiers and horses on the outside are constantly moving, and their positions will change at any time according to different battle formation forms. That is to say, when the war first started, Cao Ren's division was in the front. However, after the Seven Army Six Flower Formation was launched, according to the enemy's origin and style of fighting, Cao Ren's division may move to the left army or even the rear army at any time. All this depends on the temporary command and adjustment of Xue Shuai on the battlefield. The jumping army led by me is the flexible and mobile cavalry under the command of the central commander, ready to respond and rescue the six friendly troops at any time and deal with emergencies on the battlefield."

Lun Gongren blinked, and his anger obviously disappeared, but he was still a little unhappy and said in a low voice: "Then should we change our business? If you go to the rear army, I will lead the jumping army and Xue Shuai to take charge of the central army?"

"This is not a talk. It's not that I'm stingy and refuse to change with you. Moreover, it's not that I won't change with you because you don't have the ability." Xue Chuyu smiled. "The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The most important thing about the Yueqi cavalry of the Central Army is to maintain a good tacit understanding with the commander and the generals of each other. I have followed Xue Shuai for ten years and know each other well. But until now I still feel that it's the most difficult thing in the world to stay in the Central Army with him. Because when he commands the battle, the tactical arrangements he made for the Yueqi cavalry of the Central Army are too flexible and too many changes. I'm not very good at thinking and often fail to understand them well, so I'm scolded a lot."

Lun Gongren was stunned for a moment, "How can he curse people?"

"It's not just a scolding?" Xue Chuyu smiled, "Don't look at Xue Shuai's usual gentleness, who dares to make trouble on the battlefield angers him... Forget it, you won't want to go and experience it yourself!"

On Gong Ren's eyes, "Then I will fight with you again in a few years, as the commander of the Jumping Army!"

"I'm eagerly looking forward to it!"

The next day, early morning.

The crossbows and crossbows personally rode a horse, and the 150,000 iron cavalry around him covered the entire plateau continent like rolling waves.

Xue Shao's camp is not far ahead. The crossbows stand on a high place and can already see Xue Shao's front army clearly with his naked eyes.

The iron hooves rolled in, like the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.

Xue Shao's former army commander Cao Ren's army was mainly engaged in infantry battles. High iron shields were erected in the front row to form a shield wall. Most of the soldiers hiding behind would be archers and crossbow shooters. When in close combat, these archers would use the battlefield killer Mo Dao and turn them into a meat grinder on the battlefield.

In addition, the front army had two Yuhou troops as flanks. They were mixed infantry and cavalry units, mainly light infantry. Of course, they were all fierce archers.

These three troops constitute the first iron triangle in Xue Shao's tactics. They have extremely strong defensive capabilities in melee combat and have excellent long-range bow and arrow strike capabilities.

Faced with such an elite infantry formation, the Tubo cavalry really dared not kill the generals easily.

He didn't think about doing everything by himself. After stopping the troops, he first listened to the messages sent by various scouts, and then discussed with the generals before making a decision to harass and test the enemy with his own cavalry and shooting!

Xue Shao stood on the watchtower of the central army and observed the enemy with a telescope.

The "eyepower" of the telescope can see the Tubo cavalry. Their battle formation team is not as neat as the Great Zhou army, like the chopped tofu pieces. But it is this group of cavalry units that seem "uneven" sprinting like a landslide and tsunami, not as much as human power can stop it.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The horn of the horn was sounded among the Tubo army.

The three cavalrymen each had two or three thousand, and rushed towards the front army of Cao Ren's division in three directions.

As soon as Xue Shao raised his hand, the commander-in-chief behind him waved the commander's big red flag and issued combat orders to Cao Ren's division in front.

In an instant, the front row of the front army where Cao Ren is located, the shields and shields are raised one level higher. Cao Ren waved the flag and shouted loudly, "up"!

In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers in the front row holding shields, the front army were neatly taken out arrows from Hulu and put on bowstrings.

The three cavalry of Tubo were rushing towards them like three wild beasts that were out of their cage.

"pull!"

Master Cao Ren waved his flag and roared again, and more than 10,000 soldiers pulled their bows and pointed diagonally ahead about forty-five degrees.

"put!!"

"Swoosh swish swish"

More than 10,000 longbows and bowstrings and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air merged into a group, becoming like the violent shaking sound of a jet passing through, whistling towards the Tubo cavalry in front.

The longbow used by infantry is originally longer than the hornbow used by cavalry, and such "shooting upwards" makes the infantry's range longer. The infantry archery tactics in the Great Zhou army emphasize a neat and dense. Nothing can effectively deal with the cavalry rushing forward like a rain of arrows falling from the sky.

This seemingly simple and rough tactic requires the concerted cooperation of all the soldiers of the army, and has high requirements for the battlefield commander's ability to grasp the fighter jets.

The crossbows were all far away and saw them with their own eyes. The dense arrows were like a group of black locusts, shooting at his men and horses in an overwhelming manner. In an instant, people were surging up with horses and rushing around. Because the range was not enough, the Tubo cavalry ran closer again and then activated their good cavalry.

At this time, the second round of arrow rain for Master Cao Ren fell again.

The crossbows couldn't help but frowned, "Xue Shao's army is indeed well-trained!"

Just as the crossbow was muttering, the third round of arrow rain was shot at the cavalry that charged in Tubo this time by the crossbows.

The Tubo cavalry group was surrounded by people and horses, with great casualties.

Cao Renjun's army also suffered losses, but the tall shield wall played a good role in protecting him. His losses were not worth mentioning compared to those of the Tubo people.

Xue Shao was still standing on the watchtower to watch the battle situation.

At present, such "local battles" are obviously the enemy testing the reality of our army. There is no need to launch the Seven Army and Six Flower Formation to compete with it. The combat power of Cao Ren's army alone is enough to fight the invading cavalry!

While watching the battle situation, Xue Shao couldn't help but say to himself: "Teacher Cao Ren had fought against the plateau tiger Garqinling for several battles. Although he had many defeats, he became stronger and stronger as he fought. Since he had already paid the tuition, it should be his turn to bully the crossbows now!"
