"All generals. Wei has seen everything he sees in the army every day, all of whom are elite soldiers and heroic men, and I have known the strength of the Dai County Army. However, this time, all the soldiers marched for a long distance, sleepless all night, and they were exhausted. Now they suddenly encountered the enemy, and there was no chance to rest for a while. The enemy army was waiting for the effort... They really understand the pros and cons of the enemy."
Wei Cao looked at the soldiers around him and saw that they all showed an expression of agreement, so he continued, "The tactics of the Xianbei people are learned from the strategy of hunting wolves on the grassland, that is..." He raised his hand and gestured, "The light cavalry, which had gone like the wind, repeatedly plundered and plundered in all directions, and took turns to harass them. When the enemy was tired, he dispatched elite heavy cavalry to attack and attack the enemy in one fell swoop. Such tactics are targeting the biggest weakness of our army. At this moment, the soldiers can still rely on their blood and courage to support themselves. If the war continues to one hour, two hours, and three hours... After the enemy light cavalry dozens or even dozens of times, our army will probably fall to the ground exhausted and wait for the Xianbei people to take a knife to kill. Therefore, our army can only fight quickly and decisively."
"However, how can our army achieve the goal of quick battle and quick decision? In the current situation, the number of enemy troops is twice that of our side. The military strategy is not enough, and the attack is more than enough. Using a weak army to rashly attack a powerful enemy is the way to defeat himself. Therefore, General Lu went out alone to scold Wang Jun, intending to inspire him to attack in anger. Once the enemy attacks with all his might, as the military strategy says, the invincible one is to defend; the victory is to attack. We might as well sit and watch the enemy attack in a steady manner, and wait until the enemy reveals an opportunity to take advantage of it, and then plan the way to win."
What Wei Cao quoted was an article "Military Form" in Sun Tzu's Art of War. He also misinterpreted the words of the War Saint. The two sentences "Invincible is to defend; victorious is to attack" actually means that the enemy will defend temporarily and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity, and the enemy will launch an attack if there is an opportunity. However, Wei Cao used this here, which means that a stable defense is enough to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity, and a fierce attack will easily reveal flaws.
These words were somewhat obscure for the martial artists who were generally lacking in literary quality. The generals looked at each other for a moment. Xue Tong frowned and turned to Lu Yao and said, "Wang Jun is the leader of all towns in Hebei, he is well-versed in strategy and resourceful. How can Daoming be sure that he will attack this? And if the enemy really attacks hard, where is our chance to win?"
The generals and officers of the Central Army watched the battle situation and discussed it. Outside the front-end chariot formation of the entire army, the battle flags were flying and the war drums were like thunder.
Hundreds of elite cavalry roared in unison, and the cavalry rushed forward and rushed out of the passage left in the car array. For a moment, the horse's hooves stepped on the flying blocks of soil and grass roots, and raised the dryer part high, making the entire car array covered by dark brown dust.
This cavalry can be regarded as the essence of the Dai County Army. It was composed of Liu Xia's old cavalry and the Dai County Mishu Jiang people, and they were all powerful warriors who had experienced many battles and were out of life and death. With their superb riding skills, they raised the speed of the war horses to the limit in a very short time, just like a giant beast lurking in a minion suddenly jumping up and rushing to eat. As the angry horse ran forward, a long spear stretched out with a flat pole like the fangs of a giant beast poking out hideously.
In their running direction, the Xianbei Light Cavalry exclaimed and tried his best to turn the horse to the left and right wings. The Xianbei people's bravery was not inferior to the Daijun cavalry. However, head-on confrontation was never the strength of the light cavalry. Due to the obstacles of the horse's head, the knights could not shoot arrows in front of the front when fighting the horse. Therefore, the light cavalry with bows and arrows as the main weapon always faced the enemy sideways, and even ran against the enemy. Every excellent Xianbei Light Cavalry has extraordinary patience and judgment. Relying on repeated harassment, lure the enemy, shoot, kill the enemy with high-difficulty movements such as left and right shooting, and slowly tighten the noose on the enemy's neck.
The Xianbei people grew up on horseback since childhood, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and disturbing the enemy's flanks had become their instinct, but they were too close to the Daijun cavalry. The whole set of actions to pull the horse, slow down, and turn had not yet been completed, and they were already in a terrible impact.
In just three or five breaths, the Dai County cavalry broke into the Xianbei team. The low roars erupted from the teeth of the soldiers, the sound of horses panting and colliding with each other, the sound of sharp blades piercing through their bodies, and the crisp sound of the spear pole breaking violently after being violently under the force. Several particularly unlucky knights were pierced by the long spear that pierced straight. Under the action of huge impulse, they flew back with their spear poles, sprinkling a irides of blood in the air.
Liu Xia always led the way. He leaned over and lay tightly on the saddle, waving his long spear to hit him left and right. In the midst of lightning, the huge spear tips on both sides cut the bodies of several enemies into two halves, and at the same time brought up a huge horse's head. The strong impact slowed down his speed slightly, so an enemy cavalry took the opportunity and rushed over from the side of his left hand.
Liu Xia thrust his back with his spear head without hesitation. The end of the long spear is usually filled with conical iron horns to balance the weight. When the Xianbei long sword was about half a foot away from Liu Xia's face, the huge iron horns had already hit his face directly. The wide body wrapped the skin, muscles, bones, and even cracked eyes, and thrust straight into the skull.
The enemy in front of him was finally empty, and Liu Xia rushed out of the Xianbei queue without any damage; when he looked left and right, he saw that there were only three or four followers who were following him. He spat, and was about to call on the soldiers under his command, but found that his war horses began to slow down.
He bent down and looked at it, and immediately cursed with gritted teeth. A terrifying bloody mouth extended backward from the front of the horse's chest, almost two feet long. Under the wound, the horse's internal organs could almost be seen, and the gray-white muscles and blood vessels were leaping in a tangled manner, squeezing a large amount of blood out, dyeing the lower half of the horse's torso completely red. Liu Xia couldn't even remember when his beloved horse received such a fatal heavy blow. If this horse slowed down when the enemy and us were densely intertwined, Liu Xia would not be able to escape and die even if he had three heads and six arms. It was completely unimaginable loyalty that he persisted until the moment his master broke out of the enemy formation.
Liu Xia jumped off the horse suddenly. At the same time, his war horse fell to the ground with his knees. It looked at Liu Xia with his gem-like eyes, gasped for a few breaths, and stopped moving. Liu Xia did not care about saying goodbye to his old companion. He held a bossless war horse running around the battlefield, jumped up, and watched the battle situation from all directions.
Due to the fierce attack of the Daijun cavalry, the Xianbei people suffered considerable losses. However, most of the Xianbei light cavalry were not hindered. They quickly avoided left and right, circled a huge revolving arc and turned around, like two lizards with broken tails to survive, winding and rapidly passing through both sides of the Daijun cavalry.
There is no doubt that once the appropriate distance is approached, the Xianbei people's specialty riding and shooting will exert their power. They will never give Dai County cavalry a chance to fight, but will slowly use arrows to exhaust the blood of Dai County soldiers.
But unfortunately, not every soldier can always remain calm in the fierce battle and make the right choice. This tried-and-true tactic has brought another heavy blow to the Xianbei people... When they roared and shot arrows, they did not notice that the team on the right wing was almost within reach of the Daijun chariot formation.
