The twenty-one people had just stood in a row. Opposite them, a group of Huns cavalry ran up. There were not many people, about four to five hundred people, but they looked very embarrassed. They were not at all normal.
The Hun cavalry looked arrogant, domineering and majestic.
"Everyone stop." A loud roar came from Badao's mouth. With a shout, the sound spread far away. Even if there was the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, it could still reach human ears.
middle.
They heard it, but no one took it seriously. At what time was this, when everyone was trying their best to escape, if they took one step slower, they might die. At this time, not to mention that an unknown person stopped in front of them, so
If the little prince Hu Yantong is standing in front of you, you can see how many of them will stop.
In this way, they continued to rush forward without slowing down. It looked like if Badao and the others didn't get out of the way, they would rush straight in and kill those who were blocking their way to the ground.
"Fire arrows!" As if he had known this result for a long time, Badao didn't have any more nonsense. With a shout, he picked up the strong bow in his hand, and then fired three arrows in a row, aiming at this arrow.
The team rushed towards the three people at the front and shot them.
When Badao moved, the twenty soldiers around him also moved. They also released their bows and arrows, and they also shot at the disobedient comrades. I am afraid they also know that if they don't do this at this time,
Then there would be no strength to stop the pursuing cavalry of the Great Chinese Army.
The bow and arrow came quickly, pierced the air and came to a Xiongnu who was charging forward, and then there was the sound of people falling to the ground. When someone was shot to death and fell off the horse, this scene
But it frightened the others, causing them to instinctively slow down, and then involuntarily stopped their horses.
This wave of bows and arrows killed at least a dozen Huns cavalry, and fortunately it finally had an effect. Badao was very satisfied and continued to shout loudly: "This is Badao, the captain of the personal guard of General Qi Huai, the commander of thousands."
.At the same time, he is also the General of Duanhou who was personally appointed by the little prince and Young Master Bu. Now I order you to stand beside me and continue to stop our Hun cavalry who are coming later. I, the general, will lead you here to intercept and pursue us.
The cavalry of the Great Chinese Army, we must use our own strength to tell those sheep that should be eating grass that only we Xiongnu are men and tigers, a pack of wolves, and they cannot be our opponents."
After announcing their identity and purpose, the hundreds of Huns cavalry looked at each other for a few times, and then heard someone say: "Don't run away, how can the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army be our opponent? It was just because of their sudden appearance before.
We are unprepared. Now that General Badao is leading us, we may be able to win the battle, so we might as well fight. If we win, we will be rich in the next life."
"Haha, what this brother said is right, we won, everyone has military merit." Badao heard this shout and said with great joy. He didn't know much about other human affairs, but how
He has studied fighting for half his life, and he still has some skills.
As they sang together, the other Huns cavalry decided to stay. After all, they were the Huns cavalry, one of the most powerful cavalry in the world. How could they be afraid of the Central Plains cavalry, which they had previously regarded as weak?
Because of this self-confidence, and with Badao's intimidation methods, hundreds of cavalrymen joined the team. After having these men, and then killing hundreds of people from dozens of teams, he finally
There were nearly 15,000 Hun cavalry gathered around him. When they were all gathered together, the mass of heads and horses was already huge.
The Huns cavalry on this side were well prepared and had sealed off all areas in this area. As long as the cavalry of the Chinese Army came after them, they would inevitably encounter them. And this news was quickly discovered by Feiqin and the scouts sent out.
Arrived, it reached the ears of Li Chuxiang who was riding on horseback.
"Order the army to assemble here and rest for half an hour." Looking at the sky, it was already afternoon, and it was less than two hours before the sun set. Li Chuxiang ordered to give everyone time to assemble and rest.
Before, he was worried that the main force of the Xiongnu army would run away, so he pursued them closely. But now that they planned to stay and there were still a lot of them, he couldn't pursue them in such a hurry and needed some time to rest first.
.
War is never something that can be done in a flash of enthusiasm. Such a war can only be a confused war with a low chance of winning. A real war requires boosting morale, mobilizing soldiers, understanding the situation, targeted layout, etc. If it is a big war
If so, it would also require logistical support, intelligence support, unification of people's hearts, etc., which would be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, this was already in the middle of a war, and all the work had been done before. Now we just need to gather everyone together.
The several accompanying staff officers had already summarized the intelligence they had obtained and began to think about how to attack in a while. Li Chuxiang did not even set up a temporary military tent, so he found a place to lean against under a big tree next to the avenue.
After sitting down, he then found the commander of the first regiment, Lu Tian, the commander of the fourth regiment, Lin Zheng, and the commander of the fifth regiment, Shi Feng, who were accompanying him. The four of them sat together and began to discuss the next attack.
"Are the double-barreled firecrackers ready?" Li Chuxiang asked aloud when he saw the people gathered.
"They are all here." The three group leaders all answered in unison.
"Very good. After a while, the double-barreled fire cannons will be in the middle, the imitation heavy cavalry will be in front, and the others will launch three waves of attacks from behind." Li Chuxiang nodded with satisfaction and gave the instructions.
Although Li Chuxiang has always wanted to have a head-on confrontation with the Huns cavalry to test the true strength of their Canglang Battalion. But he will never act recklessly. If he can use tricks, he will not fight head-on, because then it will be considered a victory.
, but also at a considerable price, which is not something a good commander would do.
As for the imitation heavy cavalry, this is also the invention of the Canglang Battalion. There is no heavy cavalry in their preparation. Facts have also proved that such an army is too expensive. If you feed one cavalry, you can
Five elite infantrymen, when placed among the imperial soldiers, have a ratio of one to ten. Feeding one heavy cavalry is equivalent to feeding five to seven light cavalry. It can be imagined that,
How much financial pressure will there be?
For this reason, even Tang Ao has no idea of adding heavy cavalry. With the 20,000 Shanshan Guards, the four regiments of heavy cavalry are enough for him to cope with the situation. After all, other forces do not have heavy cavalry.
.
Canglang Camp is a rising star, so naturally it doesn't exist. But when charging on the battlefield, it is inevitable that they will be attacked by bows and arrows. If they are all light cavalry, the losses will be too great. Think about it this way
After that, Li Chuxiang thought of a way, which was to create a cavalry team that could defend against bows and arrows, that is, to cover some light cavalry with armor, making them invulnerable within a certain period of time.
It's a team that imitates heavy cavalry.
Of course, the imitation heavy cavalry will not be the opponent of the real heavy cavalry. After all, their horses are not as good as they are. But with the protection of these armors, they can indeed protect themselves to the greatest extent and prevent themselves from being injured by enemy bows and arrows.
It's not small either.
When Li Chuxiang sent this idea to Tang Ao by writing a memorial, he quickly received approval and approval. In this way, the Canglang Camp had imitation heavy cavalry, but they would not appear in normal times.
They will only be armed when they encounter big battles and tough battles.
In this way, with these imitation heavy cavalry in front, they will not be afraid of the opponent's bows and arrows, and the losses will be greatly reduced. Then when they rush in front of the enemy, the double-barreled firecrackers will play their role, and once
Injuring the enemy too much will inevitably damage the enemy's morale. At that time, the main force can be used to win the battle.
Li Chuxiang had such an idea and tactics, and Lu Tian and other three regiment leaders all nodded in agreement. After a while, several army staff officers also came over and reported their ideas. The Grand Supreme and Li Chuxiang's
The idea is almost the same, but one more thing is to send an army to bypass the enemy's rear. The number does not necessarily need to be too many, but you need to bring more flags and more charging bugles, so you have two flags.
Under a flanking attack, it can affect the enemy's morale and morale, and the subsequent battle will be more effective with half the effort.
Li Chuxiang attaches great importance to the opinions put forward by his staff. He is originally a person who is willing to listen to opinions, but not all opinions will be listened to. He will choose the one that is beneficial to him.
"Okay, let's do it this way. In this way, it will be enough to send two battalions of troops. Let's go out from the fifth regiment, put up more flags, and bring more trumpeters." Li Chuxiang quickly made a decision to agree to this proposal.
Decide to come.
"No." Shi Feng, the commander of the fifth regiment, immediately agreed.
Time passed very quickly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The cavalry of the three regiments had already gathered. Many people took the opportunity to eat something, drink some water, and drain the water from their bodies. Then they
Under the personal leadership of brigade commander Li Chuxiang, they headed towards the location of the Huns army three miles away.
Ba Dao had already been impatient for the Xiongnu army. After waiting here for a long time, the news came that the cavalry of the Great Chinese Army had stopped three miles away from them. This made him very angry.
doubts.
Could it be that the Dahua Cavalry knew how powerful he was and didn’t intend to pursue him?
