Listening to Li Shi's talk about ancient times, Li Chengzhi gradually stabilized his mood. Even though he felt a slight tremor under his feet and saw the formation pressing over him like a white cliff, there was no wave in his heart.
Now it is just a skirmish formation, with spears carried diagonally on the shoulders, and the distance between the soldiers is relatively large. The soldiers did not beat the drums, and the infantry still walked in broken steps, so the formation was inevitably not neat.
But even so, Li Shi and other cavalry officers felt that the killing atmosphere was overwhelming, making them unable to breathe.
Seeing where the handsome flag was, Li Liang raised his right arm lightly, and the flag soldier beside him held a black flag and waved it down hard.
There were soldiers on horseback at both ends of the front army. When they saw the flag of the central army, they quickly jumped out of the formation and pointed inward with the black flag in hand.
There was only a loud "cha" sound, and the 100-meter-wide square stopped neatly. Other than that, there was no other noise.
The cavalry all stared wide-eyed at the gun formation a few feet away.
They usually train separately. The cavalry and even the infantry have never seen much training. They all think that they are just infantry. How can they be compared with the cavalry?
Naturally, I feel arrogant and think I am superior to others.
Looking at it again at this time, I saw that the fierceness of the infantry formation was not inferior to that of the cavalry formation, and the horror in my heart was beyond words.
Not to mention people, even many war horses seemed to be frightened and instinctively wanted to retreat.
Seeing such a majestic lineup and the excited expressions on the infantry's faces, Li Chengzhi knew that today's battle would be won...
He first asked Tangqi to send an order for the cavalry on the north bank to join here. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, got on his horse, walked towards the flank of the Chinese army, and stopped outside the formation.
Li Liang also jumped out of the two-story car and walked quickly towards him.
Walking to the horse, Li Liang knelt down on one knee and looked at Li Chengzhi with a flushed face: "Lang Jun..."
He didn't expect that Li Chengzhi would lead the cavalry himself and let him command the Chinese army?
This is not what the commander-in-chief of the armed forces should do...
But what can Li Chengzhi do?
There is no general in the army, so Liao Hua is the vanguard...
Li Shide is not strong enough, just look at his behavior in the morning.
Everyone reminded him not to show off his skills too early, but when he encountered the enemy's cavalry, he still couldn't hold it back and charged forward with the cavalry. As a result, the enemy was so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out, and he was poisoned again.
Another arsonist...
It’s not that Li Chengzhi thought Li Shi was disobeying orders.
War is not a game of chess. It is not up to the general to implement the rules set by the commander.
Especially cavalry, it is a great test of the general's ability to adapt to changes. If the restrictions are too much, he may not even be able to fight.
Li Chengzhi felt more and more that Li Shi was not a general at all, and his thinking was rigid and did not know how to adapt. In his mind, he still wanted to fight Rouran people and the way a scout met a scout.
Times have changed...
Li Chengzhi looked at Li Liang with a smile and said warmly: "You have read more military books than me. You should understand that a commander is most afraid of being impatient and eager for quick success... In today's battle, you only need to be steady. Everything depends on me.
Act according to the flag and order...Don't be greedy for success, let alone attack without authorization!"
Li Liang bowed his head heavily: "I've written it down!"
"Well, go ahead!" Li Chengzhi nodded.
At this time, he naturally won't say polite words, and what he says is what he thinks in his heart.
Li Chengzhi's request to Li Liang today is indeed very simple: obey orders, advance when necessary, stop when necessary, and don't make arbitrary decisions and disrupt the position, otherwise there will be no possibility of defeat.
But compared to others, he is still very relieved about Li Liang.
I don't know if it was because of his biological father's early death. Li Liang is cautious and steady by nature, and he is not lacking in agility. The only thing he lacks is that he lacks experience.
Li Chengzhi believes that with a little training, his comprehensive ability will never lose to Li Song.
He will definitely not let such a talent go...
After giving some instructions to the leaders of each infantry team, asking them to obey the orders of the Chinese army and not to disrupt their formation, Li Chengzhi rode back to the front of the formation.
The cavalry on the north bank has also withdrawn, and all the cavalry have been mounted, waiting for Li Chengzhi's order to attack.
According to the latest Tangqi reconnaissance report, most of the enemy troops have left camp, and there are at least a thousand people left guarding the village wall, and most of them are auxiliary troops.
The four thousand enemy troops who came out of the camp were in a typical defensive formation: chariots in front, followed by shield soldiers and spearmen, with archers interspersed between them. The cavalry guarded the two wings, with half of them being elite.
The formation is of a medium distance. The only special thing is that ten feet behind the end of the formation is the village wall.
Li Chengzhi guessed that Li Wenzhong did not dare to divide his troops and was afraid that he would send troops to attack the farm, so he came up with this strategy out of desperation.
Another advantage of this formation is that it is so close to the wall that it is difficult to get around it, and there is no way to use cavalry to attack its rear flank.
But Li Chengzhi still couldn't figure it out: Li Wenzhong never thought about how his soldiers could escape after being defeated by him?
Can humans and horses still grow wings and fly over a ten-foot-high village wall?
How could he have imagined that Li Wenzhong had been frightened by his poisoning, so he put on a fight-to-fight posture, which meant that I was going to fight tooth and nail...
Don't say you didn't see it, even if you guessed it, Li Chengzhi wouldn't fall for him.
A last-ditch battle?
You have to dare to fight...
The enemy's elite troops are all out, and they can't escape even if they want to. The time has come to attack.
Li Chengzhi turned around, looked at Li Shi and said, "I've told you how to act seven or eight times. Do you remember it?"
Li Shi was a little depressed.
Isn't it just the harassment before the battle? In the early years, I had a bad time with Rouran people...
But he just thought about it in his heart. Even if he had ten more courages, he would not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Li Chengzhi.
He also knew that the behavior of leading 300 armored cavalry to chase the enemy cavalry without permission in the morning had already made Langjun very unhappy. If he dared to disobey again, he would be sacrificed to the flag...
Li Shi responded honestly: "General, I will remember!"
Li Chengzhi nodded lightly: "Just remember, go ahead!"
In fact, he was more depressed than Li Shi.
Originally, they only wanted him to be a personal guard, but after many selections, Li Chengzhi found that apart from Li Shi, the old soldiers could not find another general who had led the cavalry in major battles. p>

There were quite a lot of battles, but either they followed Li Song, Li Feng, and Li Bai, or they rushed together while protecting Li Shixian...
But when I think about it more deeply, it feels natural.
Li Shixian is only a sixth-grade military counselor. He has 3,000 soldiers under his command, but only 1,000 cavalry. It would be good to train two cavalry generals, Li Song, a military leader, and Li Bai, Li Feng, a team leader.
After all, the first priority of Li's retainers is to protect him, and whether they can fight or not is only secondary.
But Li Chengzhi is not too worried.
Except for Li Shi, who was not very talented, and as soon as he got on the horse, all he could think about was "rushing, rushing, rushing", most of the retainers and children were still very alert.
As long as you are given a chance, you will be able to practice it sooner or later...
……
Li Shi rode out of the battle, pointed the blade forward: "Attack!"
All the cavalrymen clenched their fists with one hand, banged their square shields, and then roared: "Victory!"
At the same time, Li Xian held a white flag and waved it vigorously in the direction of the enemy. He only heard the sound of a drum from the Chinese army, and three loud shouts like a mountain shaking the sea: "We must win, we must win, we must win!" The sound spread two miles away and was like thunder in the ears of the rebels.
You can't even see anyone, but you are giving orders to shake the sky. How many enemy troops should there be?
Monk Faming was shaking all over and shouted angrily at Li Wenzhong: "This is what you call, the enemy only has five or six hundred riders?"
Li Wenzhong was shocked and angry, and his face turned blue: "Grandpa will marry your eldest mother...I said it is possible..."
He wished he could kill this bald thief with a knife, and was about to curse a few more words to ease the fear in his heart, when he suddenly heard a scream from under the wall.
A mile away, a group of white cavalry rushed towards the military formation under the wall like a sharp arrow.
I really called...
Li Wenzhong's face turned pale, he used all his strength to suppress the panic in his heart, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't panic, hold still..."
