If Li Liang did not see through his plan to lure the enemy, it is absolutely impossible: without a surprise attack, who could be so stupid as to set up a general formation at the foot of the mountain?

If this is the case, either Li Liang is sure of victory and thinks this battle is a sure thing, so he doesn't take himself seriously at all.

But it’s impossible to say that he just took advantage of the situation. He obviously had few soldiers and was strong on the outside but capable on the outside, but he did the opposite, thinking that he was afraid of the firearm. This move was just a bluff to confuse the public?

But no matter what, we must have a fight today. At least we must ascertain the strength of the enemy and know the strength of Li Liang's troops. Whether they are as strong as the defenders in Bigan City. There are so many firearms that they can be used inexhaustibly.

Endless.

Only in this way can Luo Jian decide the next move.

Moreover, seven days ago, when he suddenly learned that the West Sea was coming, he had already sent a fast horse from the north to the west of Nantang Mountain. In two or three days at most, he would be able to find out the reality of Juyan Lake and know whether Yuan Zhi kept his promise.

, has led the Dunhuang army to point to the West Sea...

The distance of three miles can be said to be close or far. And from a high position, Luo Jian can already roughly see the formation of the front army in the West Sea.

The two wings are for cavalry, and the middle is for infantry. It seems to be a medium distance.

But if you look closely, you will see that it is completely different from ordinary military formations.

Just like the formation in the West Sea at this time, although it was an infantry formation and the soldiers did not ride horses, there were many mules and horses in the formation?

Luo Jian believed that he could not misread it. They were definitely mules and horses, not war horses. This was because the horses were short and carried something on their backs.

A closer look revealed that there were many vehicles following behind them. Although he could not see clearly what was contained in the vehicles, they were not stone cannons, and there were no soldiers setting up in front of the formation. Luo Jian could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What he was afraid of was nothing more than the thunder from the sky that sounded like a thunderstorm and killed or maimed those who were hit, leaving no whole corpse.

Therefore, he Li Dai Tao Jiang, ordered Wei Gang to recruit civilians to pretend to be soldiers, and set up a sparse formation.

The purpose is to avoid the important and take the easy, using civilian weapons to lure the enemy, and then protruding the cavalry to attack the enemy's two flanks.

If the strategy fails, at least fewer soldiers will die and more enemy firearms will be consumed.

But there was no artillery cart in the enemy formation, and Luo Jian became suspicious again: He had already seen this thing before. It was very heavy and heavy, and it could be thrown to a height of ten or twenty feet with just manpower. So if there is no artillery cart, does it mean that Li Liang

This time the army did not have such a thing, or there were not many of them?

But why are hundreds of mules and horses standing in the formation, and what is the use of the things carried on the horses' backs?

In the midst of suspicion, another scout came back to report:

"Governor Bing, the enemy's formation is about one mile wide and nearly one mile thick. There are half as many chariots and cavalry, and the formation is sparse, so it occupies a very large area, but there are not many armored soldiers!"

"Not much? In your opinion, how many should there be?"

Luo Ping paused for a moment and said uncertainly: "There should be nearly ten thousand!"

Luo Jian's eyes narrowed, almost narrowing into a slit.

Luo Ping said it lightly?

There are tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the formation, and they are not cavalry, but chariots, and they are all soldiers. What about the Xihai camp more than 20 miles away?

No matter how unknown Li Liang is, no matter how ignorant he is of soldiers, he cannot send out all his troops without leaving enough troops to garrison the camp.

As a result, what Wei Gang had concluded a few moments ago was quite the same. Li Liang led at least 20,000 troops this time...

Luo Jian felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart, and Luo Jian became increasingly heavy: Where did the West Sea come from with so many soldiers?

Just as he was feeling startled and doubtful, he heard a faint crisp sound in the distance. Luo Jian's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked intently.

What we saw was not very clear, but we could see that enemy infantry were unloading things from the backs of mules and horses. There were also soldiers who seemed to be driving piles into the ground with hammers.
