The first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the first day of the sixth month of the summer, at the end of the third hour.

In the former Hang Ai Province of Mongolia, the southeast foothills of Hang Ai Shandong, and at the upper reaches of the Weng Jin River, 180,000 troops confronted each other. The nine-nine Tiel tribes sent twelve warriors, about 400 meters in front of the formation, and the recognized safe distance began to provoke death.

However, as the saying goes, dogs that bite people do not bark, and dogs that bark do not bite people. In Wukang's eyes, their harshness on the outside is a sign of lack of confidence. At the same time, it also confirms the speculation that the lack of fighting spirit in Tiele's army is a demonstration, which means that the tribes do not belong to each other.

But then again, if others come to bully him, they must repay him with their own color. Wu Kang took the three stone bows and used the armor-breaking wooden feather arrow to shoot and kill the provocateurs. However, he was blocked by Rengui and asked him to take charge of the central army and command the battle. Lao Xue led his personal guards, including the Wuying Xueying, a total of 600 elite cavalry, who were responsible for checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

Wu Kang received the order to collect the bow, mobilized the personal guards of Wuying, and told the Chu Shenke to obey Lao Xue's command. He turned his horse back to the central army. Suddenly, he heard the roar of thunder and immediately turned the horse's head. The twelve iron warriors, one of whom was caught in an arrow and fell off his horse, and the horse was spinning on the spot.

Before he could react, he shouted again. In less than ten seconds, the enemy was riding off a horse. The other Iron Knights were frightened. They ignored their companions' life and death, regardless of the war horse Jingui, immediately turned their heads and ran back to their original formation.

Within half a minute, three arrows shot three brave, Lao Xue was so good. The coach was so brave, the guards waved their arms high, and their morale was instantly bursting. The butterfly effect showed its might, and as one went up and down, the enemy formation was silent. Twelve provoking warriors were the best in each division, and they were killed three in an instant, which was too harmful to morale.

Xue Rengui retracted his long bow, pulled out the Fangtian painting halberd, and watched it with a telescope. Wu Kang laughed silently, quickly returned to the central army, and came to the center of the round formation. At this moment, he was full of confidence. The episode just now added 20% chance of winning, and he was 80% sure.

When he followed Su Dingfang to fight, he always followed the order and never deployed commands. Lao Xue was very interested and gave him command power, and he was quite nervous. He did not have a feather fan, nor did he smile, but he had sincere hope that the masts and oars would be wiped out.

About half a moment, the commander sent an order and immediately started attacking. Lao Xue was also very kind and sent back to the telescope, which could be like a tiger. Wu Kang looked at the leaking pot and ordered the Chief Qin: "The right Yu Hou Army, the right wing front army, the left wing left army, and the front crossbow attacked. The battle drum sounded, the arrow floated half an inch, and the central army stopped the drum."

Qin Changshi immediately dispatched three central army commanders and rode donkeys to inform the periphery. He garrisoned along the circular formation, extending six rows of communication, connecting the six-box square formation, which looked like the sun's light. Every three meters inside the row, there were commanders, similar to standing stakes in the fence.

The first commander sent the military orders to run and then return to their original position. The two notified the three, and the orders were passed in sequence, just like beating a drum to pass flowers. The military orders were passed to the Xiang army, and the guards were ready to go, waiting for the attack to beat the drums.

Professional messengers must run fast, have physical strength and endurance, and have good eloquence. They must speak clearly. If they pass the wrong military order, they will be beheaded by military law. The messengers will draw a square area at the feet of the messengers. In addition to passing the military order, they must stay in the circle, otherwise they will also beheaded.

The attacking drums sounded, the three-box crossbow team attacked, and the rest remained silent. The war with cold weapons was not like in movies and TV dramas where the general shouted to rush to the duck, and the soldiers carried swords and guns and rushed into the battlefield. That was purely nonsense, if it was that kind of routine, the army would be destroyed.

There are some considerations for each different army, how to arrange troops and arrange both offense and defense. When to attack and which way to attack are all important. Generally speaking, the crossbow team attacks first because the range is the longest and can win the lead.

According to the range of the crossbow species, Fuyuan crossbow team is in front, Biaozhang crossbow team is in the back, followed by a horn crossbow, and finally a single crossbow. The huge winch crossbow, because it is too bulky and too complicated to operate, is only suitable for siege and not suitable for field battles.

Fu Yuan is also a heavy crossbow with wheels installed at the bottom, and each crossbow is equipped with six soldiers. Two strong guards carry two bamboo crossbow arrows and pull the fiber to drag Fu Yuan. The two guards pull the strings on the turntable, one guard is responsible for the arrows, and the other guard is responsible for the launch.

The crossbow team advanced step by step, Wu Kang put his telescope in his telescope, turned his head to look at the guillotine, and his eyes were locked in the floating arrow. The so-called guillotine is a timer tool, similar to a clock. The three-stage stair structure is a four copper pot. The water hole at the bottom of the pot is opened, and the water in the upper pot drips into the lower pot.

The copper pot at the bottom has a light wooden floating block, and the arrow rod is fixed on it. A small hole is opened on the lid of the copper pot, and the arrow rod is pierced out, which is called a floating arrow. The scale is marked on it, and the water level in the pot rises, and the floating arrow rises accordingly, thereby determining the time.

The idiom copper pot drip is called this object. Wu Kang said he was helpless and could make a telescope, but he couldn't make a watch, so he could only make do with it. As the water level rose, a floating arrow surged out half an inch, and the Changshi passed on military orders, and the drum sounded abruptly.

Wu Kang stood upright with stirrups and set up a telescope to watch. The iron soldiers on the opposite side set up a shield wall in front of the formation, and there was no sign of attack. At 450 meters, the Fuyuan crossbow had a range, and the bamboo arrows were fired in an instant. The huge kinetic energy was blessed, and the four-foot-long crossbow arrow had a great lethality.

The shield wall broke in an instant, and the enemy formation wailed. The enemy formation stabilized the shield wall and still did not attack. Wu Kang sneered, "You can continue to fight these turtles." After breaking the turtle shell, you must attack."

The boatman dragged the far crossbow and shot while moving, gradually getting closer. Although the power was very powerful, it was very slow due to the cumbersome loading. At 340 meters, the crossbow was fired, and it entered a range of 300 meters, and the crossbow was fired.

The bow and arrow had no range, Tiele lacked heavy crossbows, and there was no threat to counterattack. Wu Kang thought that he would not last long after being beaten so passively. He decided to eat again, so he issued an order: "Transfer the order to three boxes in the front row, and the archer attacked immediately, and the arrow was half an inch breath."

The military order was passed by the drums of war, and the team was sending orders. The arrow team was advancing as a whole, following the crossbow team, keeping the formation uneven. Two hundred and fifty meters away, a single crossbowman shot, four powerful crossbows shot volleys, and the crossbow arrows were advancing like a wall.

The guards are well-trained and have no confusion at all. If they dare to act rashly, the team's deputy will be beheaded. The shield wall is scattered, and a large number of enemy soldiers are crossbows, with bloody wailing. At this point, they cannot be beaten passively, and the enemy finally attacks.

For a moment, the mountains roared and the seas were thundering, and the crowds were like tides, and the earth began to tremble.

The Tang army has been through a long battle formation and does not require Wu Kang's command. The crossbow team shoots on the spot. The two crossbowmen who pull the crossbow set up long square shields to block the enemy's rift arrows. The two sides constantly draw closer, and within a distance of 100 meters, the bow and whistle shoot wooden arrows.

The three arrows determine the angle, the horn mark is fired, and the archer shoots wooden arrows at the angle according to the angle. Therefore, long-range weapons enter the shooting state, crossbow arrows rush around, bows and arrows are flying all over the sky, biting the infantry iron shields. Countless iron infantrymen die on the charge.

With picturesque scenes and artistic killing, Wu Kang was in full bloom. From a hundred steps to twenty steps, the enemy had to sacrifice his life every step. The telescope took off the sheepskin wine bag and drank three mouthfuls of wine in a row.

The sleeves wiped their lips and passed the military order lightly: "Transfer the orders of the three wings in the front formation, and the surprise soldiers jumped and attacked, and the cavalry remained still. The three wings in the middle and the back formations kept the formation uneven, and pushed forward sixty steps. The war drum sounded again, and the arrows floated half an inch of breath."

The military order was passed by the sound of the war drums, and the entire army moved forward as a whole. When it reached its target position, the drum sound came to an abrupt end. Wu Kang opened the calculation bag, took out the untied cone, untied the helmet knot, and scratched his temples hard. He shook his head for a moment, put on the golden helmet again, and continued to watch the battle situation.

The shouting was shocking, and the enemy was facing the rain of arrows, stepped on the corpse of the robes and launched a desperate charge. The fighting spirit was quite strong, Wu Kang frowned slightly. Could it be wrong? After careful consideration, I felt that the impact was not great. Looking at the momentum of the enemy and us, I had absolute confidence to wipe out the iron spirit.

When the distance was forty meters, Wu Kang sent another military order: "The command was sent to the three wings in front of the front, the horse and spear soldiers were in front, and the Mo Dao soldiers followed the jumping soldiers to assist. The three wings in front were stationed in the left camp, and the right camp was on standby, and the wounded soldiers were accommodated. The three wings in the rear followed the central army, pushed forward twenty steps forward, and the arrow was half an inch of breath."

The enemy and us were thirty meters apart, and the crossbow had no range. The shooter quickly stopped. He either pulled the sword rod or pulled the long horizontal sword to quickly change the formation and lined up in four columns. The surprise soldiers began to charge, rushed into the front line along the gaps in the queue, and blinked in. Holding a four-four horse spear, he built a dense forest of guns to face the enemy's gun formation.

The Modao team advanced, jumping in and out, and long and short weapons cooperated. The melee battle has begun. The crossbowmen cannot be idle. They can carry the Modao stick or horizontal sword, and after they jump, they will join the battle group again. The central army's war drums are as famous as the war drums, and the guards who have not participated in the battle will all shake flags and shout and cheer for their robes.

The Central Army was stationed in the left camp, cruising behind the battlefield, carrying a dagger in his hand. When he found the enemy's wounded soldiers, he finished the knife and sent them to the free. When he found the wounded soldiers on our side, he ran to the back and handed them over to the containment team. The team members determined the rescue measures based on the injuries.

If the injury is not serious, ride on the donkey's back, the team members will take the reins and send them back to the military camp. If they are seriously injured, they will be carried into the ambulance, and there will be two donkeys with a stretcher tied in the middle. The two hosts will each hold the reins and send them to the injured camp at the garrison.

The battle situation was firmly in the upper hand, the rescue was orderly, and Wu Kang was satisfied. This group of donkeys were good, and they were successfully promoted to fight donkeys, but they were inexplicably funny: the big brother of the horse carried the cavalry and rushed forward; the second brother of the donkey carried the wounded, and retreated.

The fighting donkeys in the military camp are actually very useful. First, they transport the baggage, they work hard and secondly, prevent the loss of horses. Every time they grazed, the war horses were in the middle and the donkeys surrounded the outer circle. They prevent the loss of the war horses and prevent the people from stealing horses. This ghost idea, which Li Jing thought of, was indeed very effective.

The Tang army also attached great importance to the wounded soldiers. The military law clearly stipulates that no matter whether it is injured on the battlefield or a marching disease, as long as the robes are alive, you cannot abandon them. Even if you are dying, you must not leave them, otherwise the heads will fall to the ground.

At the front line of the battlefield, horse spears assassinate each other, which is both barbaric and cute. When the short-term soldiers meet, the spear formation loses its distance and the Mo Dao makes a brilliant appearance. The two-meter-long Mo Dao can stab and slash and slash. Jump from the side to assist, block the damage, and wait for an opportunity to kill the enemy with a horizontal knife.

The Tang army's main combat weapons were spears and horizontal swords. The legendary Mo sword was just a supplement to the spear. The spear formation was trapped in the mud, and the two-meter-long Mo sword began to exert its power by relying on its attack range. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was used to cut infantry and could not defeat cavalry.

The only one who can restrain cavalry is the gun forest and spear formation. Most of the Modao is used by the left and right gate guards to guard the city gates of the capital. Similar to the Fangtian Painted Riven, it can be called a ritual instrument. The Modao on the battlefield is used for supervising battles and some is used to kill enemies.

The magical Modao was too deified. The simplest evidence: Tang Law’s memorial stipulates that the people secretly hid crossbows and spears and sentenced to one year in prison. Private bows and swords were allowed, including the Modao. If it was powerful, the court would have long prohibited them. As for the advancement of the wall, the people and horses were broken, and it would be just an exaggeration.

About two quarters of an hour later, the messenger hurriedly reported the troops, and the left army of Zuoxiang asked for help. Wu Kang quickly observed that it was because of the Uighurs, no wonder he suffered heavy casualties. Among the nine surnames of Tiele, the Uighur tribe was the strongest and had been through a long battle formation. He participated in the destruction of Xue Yantuo in the Tang Dynasty and the destruction of Turks in the Tang Dynasty. His combat effectiveness was very good.

The Uighurs are the backbone. If they are defeated, the balance of victory will tilt the Tang Dynasty. Make up your mind and issue an order: "Tell me to General Chu Huan, and I will stabilize my position, otherwise the military law will be dealt with. The Central Army garrison will support it, and the Left Fang rear army will be ordered to support the Left Army."

The military order was quickly passed, and the rear army in the left wing advanced and entered the battlefield one by one. Wu Kang stared at the left front and couldn't help but frown. The left wing was still not optimistic. So he reinforced again, sent a rear formation to order the left marquis to attack. The battle was in full swing, time quietly left, and the left wing finally stabilized. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. The Uighur tribe on the left wing was related to the entire battle situation and must focus on attacks. After a moment of consideration, a military order was issued: "Left wing, left wing, cavalry attacked, and use the rushing tactic."

When large corps fight, the cavalry of the military formation cannot be used easily. Only when our infantry cannot defeat the opponent and the situation of the battle is unfavorable, the cavalry can attack. When the cavalry receives the order, the team is taking the lead, not charging forward, but circling sideways.

The square cavalry formations were all scattered to the left. If you want to combine the half-moon formation, turn the horizontal snake formation. The rumbling horse hooves roared, and the two thousand cavalry cavalry rushed towards the enemy formation on the left wing. The knight was wearing a chain mail, a round shield on his left arm, and holding a four-four horse spear in his hand, and was speeding up and lightning.

Wu Kang stepped on stirrups, stood upright on his back, and used a bamboo telescope to closely observe the battle situation. As expected, shortly after the cavalry was dispatched, the Uighur cavalry moved. They surrounded the right wing, blocked the hatchback cavalry, and protected the infantry formation.

Xue Rengui finally acted at this moment, and six hundred elite cavalrymen were slanted and bit the Uighur horse team. Wu Kang laughed in silence. Old Xue had a few tricks and probably regarded the Uighur tribe as the key target of attack. This move is very suitable for me. If you can restrain the enemy cavalry, I will be like a tiger.

Two thousand cavalrymen on the left side ignored the Uighur cavalry and resolutely carried out the orders. The speed was as fast as possible, and they held the horse spear tightly in their hands and instantly crashed into the enemy formation. The iron hooves stomped on the infantry, and the horse spears were chained with candied haws. The picture was spectacular.

The horse spear pulled out of the body, brought out blood arrows, leaving countless corpses. The enemy's infantry formation quickly offset the inertia. The cavalry turned the horse's head and drove the horse away from the army. They ran for enough distance, turned the horse's head again, and collided with the enemy's formation again.

Assassinate by speed, run away after the fight, and then fight again. This cycle repeats itself, jumping and swelling attacks are the rushing tactics. Its main function is to restrain the enemy infantry and provide a breathing opportunity for our army's infantry.

The infantry were not idle either, so they immediately took action and the guards re-arranged. When the formation was adjusted, they launched another attack. At this time, the cavalry retreated to the periphery and acted as melon-eating crowds, and at the same time rested in war horses. The combination of infantry and cavalry types, you finished singing and I came on stage and finally defeated the enemy.

However, the cavalry of the left wing failed to get a rest and received Lao Xue's order to strangle the Uighur cavalry. Lao Xue took the lead with a horse, and the painting of Fangtian in his hand was like entering a no-man's land, harvesting the enemy cavalry with all his heart. The officials were not afraid of death, and the soldiers dared to fight to the death. The morale of the cavalry was like a rainbow and soon gained the upper hand.

Feeling that the overall situation was settled, Wu Kang changed the bamboo tube and observed the battle situation of the right wing. The right wing was progressing smoothly, and our formation pushed forward layer by layer, and the enemy formation retreated one after another. Suddenly, he found that the Tieler cavalry was dispatched, and our army quickly adjusted, with a spear outward, and set up a gun.

I couldn't help but smile. The soldiers were so elite, and I couldn't win this battle. I can't resist the blame. Tiel's cavalry attacked, but the skills were exhausted. Wu Kang responded: the right Yu Hou Army, the right wing front army, the right wing right army, the cavalry attacked and intercepted the enemy cavalry.

At the same time, the military order was sent, and the Right Army attacked, and the Central Army advanced ten steps. As soon as he arrived at the designated location, Chu Shenke arrived and reported the military situation on the left: "The Uighur cavalry retreated, the infantry was being beaten, and there were signs of defeat. General Xue had an order, and the Central Army entered the battle and completely defeated the Tielet people."

Wu Kang rolled his eyes and Xue Rengui was more radical than Naiweng. Waiting for three more minutes at most, Tiele will definitely be defeated, so why bother to hurry? This time the entire army attack can achieve the effect and increase casualties.

I decided to refuse sternly, but I just swallowed it helplessly. I am the deputy general manager, he is the chief manager, so I should give face. Li Chunfeng's criticism, I want to escape from danger this time, and I have to rely on his help. Thinking of this, I decisively ordered the whole army to attack.

The central army was advancing steadily, but the same routine was still the same. The crossbowman took the lead first. The crossbow was consumed long-range. When the range was lost, the surprise soldiers jumped and attacked, and the cavalry was on standby. They fought steadily, and they advanced step by step. They met with the two wings and formed a snake formation. Hundreds of thousands of people began to fight.

Wu Kang guessed it well, Tiele's casualties surged, and less than two quarters of an hour, Sijie's troops were defeated first. An enemy soldier turned around and fled and was hacked to death on the spot by the supervising battle, but it was useless. More people escaped and they couldn't cut them.

The fierce battle of the large army will affect the whole body. As long as someone leads the leader, the overwhelmed comrades will follow suit. If the back-row supervising team cannot stabilize the situation, the defeat will be natural. The meteors cut the sky, the defeat is like a mountain, and Tielle will be defeated.

Wu Kang passed on military orders: "The cavalry in the central army will pursue tentatively, observe while chasing, and do not pursue and attack fiercely. The command to continue to maintain the formation. Without my orders, no one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise there will be no mercy to kill."

The cavalry of the Left Camp attacked, Wu Kang was fully focused and observed the situation of the defeated army. In less than a quarter of an hour, Tiele's formation was in chaos. The soldiers abandoned the flags, like headless flies, crowded and trampled everywhere. All the situations showed that the opponent was not a fraud, but a great defeat.

Wu Kang laughed to the sky, slowly pulled out the Thousand Niu sword, shouting at the top of his voice: "The cavalry of the central army, follow me to pursue herding tactics, and do not seek to kill the enemy. All infantry advance steadily, and the formation cannot be messed up no matter when it reaches it."

Dou Gong is as vigorous as flying, Wu Kang takes the lead and leads the cavalry to pursue. At this time, the infantry still cannot move around and must maintain the formation. If the cavalry ambushed and retreats to the rear, the infantry with formation can resist the ambush.

The so-called shepherd tactic is to play a guest role as a shepherd dog, surrounding and driving the flock to drive away the sheep. If you don’t pursue the number of enemies killed, you will chase them away. When you are exhausted, you will raise your hand to surrender. Tieler defeated the troops on the periphery, Wukang rode his horse and laughed stronger and stronger. How many prisoners can be captured by 150,000 Tieler people?
