In order to eliminate the effective strength of the Beiting people as much as possible in this battle, Lu Xu must make the Beiting people believe that they have a chance of victory.
In the battle just now, Lu Xu fought really well. If the Beiting people thought that they had little chance of winning, and then played cautiously, then Lu Xu could only defeat them at most. This is not true
It is in line with Lu Xu's goal of avenging his fellow villagers.
That's why he put up a long snake formation in order to confuse his opponents and make them think that he was arrogant and made a stupid move.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Because formation change is a compulsory course for a heavy infantry unit. Even if you are in a long snake formation now, who can guarantee that when the Beiting cavalry rushes over, you will still be in a long snake formation.
Formation?
Lu Xu felt that the "advantage" of the Beiting people must be greater. So he thought of the refugees.
In Lu Xu's plan, he didn't have to do anything. As long as the refugees performed normally, they would be able to meet his tactical requirements.
After all, they had just been massacred by the Beiting people, and it was the time when they were most afraid of the Beiting people. Lu Xu felt that as long as they saw the shadow of the Beiting people, they would definitely riot.
It's a pity that Lu Xu fought really well just now. Many refugees watched the whole battle, and even those who didn't watch saw the results of that battle.
How embarrassed were the Beiting people when they retreated from the battlefield? They all saw it!
So they really didn't panic much at first.
What really made them panic was Lu Xu's long snake formation!
This formation gave the refugees two signals. First, the fighting was about to start again, which dealt a heavy blow to many refugees who imagined that the Beiting people would not dare to fight again easily.
Secondly, the thin military formation in front of you is the only thing that can protect you.
How strong is the impact of the Beiting Cavalry? They had just experienced it personally. Even if they did not understand war, they knew that the thin formation in front of them could never block the charge of the Beiting Cavalry.
That’s why the refugees started rioting!
Now that the refugees are rioting, Lu Xu must send some troops to protect them and appease them.
When Prince Wulu saw Lu Xu dividing his troops, his eyes immediately lit up!
Originally, Lu Xu's long snake formation was weak enough. After dividing the troops, Prince Wulu felt that the long snake formation in front of him was even more vulnerable.
In addition, Lu Xu had to take care of the refugees. Prince Wulu felt that he would definitely be able to take down Lu Xu's "dog head" this time. The difference was whether he had the chance to chop it off with his own hands!
However, at this moment, Prince Wulu actually calmed down. As a prairie hunter, his instinct made him realize that at this time, he must be more patient.
He wanted Lu Xu's large army to get closer to Fort Wei'an. This way, the open space in front of him would be large enough, and the advantages of the speed and impact of the cavalry in his hands could be fully demonstrated.
Prince Wulu felt that the best time to fight was when Lu Xu's troops were close to the gate of Wei'an Fort and the refugees had begun to enter the city.
Because he is confident that he can break through Lu Xu's formation with a single charge. At that time, he may even take advantage of the situation and enter Wei'an Fort. Not only can he win a big victory, he can even capture an important building.
The battle fort, and personally beheaded an important officer of the opponent.
Only in this way can he obtain all the achievements of this battle!
I have to say that Prince Wulu behaved well at this time.
only......
He still ignored one possibility, and this possibility was precisely the most fatal to him. That was that the troops Lu Xu sent out might, might, might be able to stand behind the friendly forces at the critical moment to fill in the gaps.
formation.
If this is the case, can Prince Wulu's cavalry still break through Lu Xu's defense line?
Obviously it's impossible! At that time, wouldn't Prince Wulu be sending himself to death?
With huge interests in front of him, Prince Wulu did not consider this possibility at all. He was just worried that Lu Xu would change his action strategy, so he watched Lu Xu's actions almost eagerly.
It wasn't until Lu Xu ordered Yu Feng to open the door to take the refugees into Wei'an Fort that Prince Wulu felt relieved. He drew his saber and shouted: "Warriors of the Beiting Khanate, follow me and charge! For the dead brothers
Here’s your chance for revenge!”
The inspired Beiting cavalry roared and flew towards Lu Xu's military formation.
Yu Feng in Wei'an Fort opened the fort gate in excitement and prepared to face the enemy!
Just as he was about to reach the gate of the battle fort, Lu Xu gave him an order that made him a little confused. Lu Xu ordered him to leave fifty people in the battle fort to be responsible for resettling the refugees. Then he asked him to lead
The remaining soldiers and horses moved in a strange arc to a place where there was no enemy at all.
The point is!
This circuitous route also requires exiting from the back door of the battle fort, and then going around again!
Yu Feng was really baffled when he received this order. However, Lu Xu's prestige among the Xin'an Army was extremely high. Even if Yu Feng didn't understand the meaning of this order, he still strictly carried out Lu Xu's order.
Order.
On Lu Xu's side, he saw the Beiting cavalry rushing towards him. Lu Xu immediately ordered his soldiers to start shrinking their formation, making his formation as compact as possible.
He was not worried that Prince Wulu would see that there was a deceit on his part. After all, this was the reaction that a long snake formation should have.
really!
When Prince Wulu saw Lu Xu's actions, not only did he not feel nervous, but he seemed even more excited!
Facing a cavalry charge, compressing one's formation more tightly can only be regarded as a routine operation. However, such an operation is really useless in front of Prince Wulu.
From Prince Wulu's point of view, Lu Xu's reaction could only show that he had indeed underestimated himself too much. This made him involuntarily tighten the belly of the horse again, making the horse charge faster.
At the same time, the Beiting cavalry showed their due style as the strongest cavalry unit of this era.
Even in the midst of a high-speed charge, they successfully completed the formation change.
The cavalry force of more than 700 people gradually formed a triangular formation and rushed towards Wei'an Fort and Lu Xu's military formation like an awl!
This cone-shaped formation is the fundamental reason why Prince Wulu firmly believes that Lu Xu will never be able to block him. The power of this formation has nothing to do with the physical principles of point arrancar. It is purely a military matter of concentrating superior forces to attack a single point.
manifestation.
Its power comes from the fact that there are the most companions behind that "point", so the continuous impact at this point is the strongest.
Compared with the "wall charge" commonly used by heavy cavalry phalanxes, the light cavalry, which has less individual impact but greater overall mobility, is more suitable for attacking infantry phalanxes in this way.
