Chu Huan naturally has some specialties in setting up the formation. In addition to the archers who were laid in the front, almost all the people who took the lead behind the archers were brought by Chu Huan from Shuoquan.

Although fortifications were built urgently in the past two days, compared with the soldiers evacuated from Hezhou, both in terms of energy and physical strength, the soldiers coming from Shuoquan must be more abundant.

Although not everyone in the Xiguan Army can shoot arrows, the proportion of bows is quite large. All soldiers who can use bows and arrows are arranged in the front, using wooden railings and earthen walls as barriers to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

Although the troops retreated from Hezhou brought as much as possible all the supplies they should bring, the bloody battle in Hezhou had consumed a lot of supplies. Apart from weapons and equipment, there were actually not many arrows left, and the remaining part was brought out. As for small catapults, it would affect the speed of the march, and there were no huge stones as launching weapons, the catapults were a pile of waste. Before retreating, Pei Ji had ordered them to be destroyed.

Fortunately, after Chu Huan stationed the horse farm, he was ready to focus on defense from the beginning. Facing the enemy's cavalry, in addition to building fortifications as a barrier, the best defensive weapon is of course bows and arrows. Therefore, in the past two days, some people were drawn to use local materials to make bows and arrows. Although the bows and arrows made were very rough and their destructive power was far from comparable to those from the weapon workshop, it was ultimately a supplement, better than nothing.

The cavalry of Gu Liangchen's troops had been waiting for a long time. After the attack order was issued, they could not wait to rush towards this side. The Xiguan saber was unsheathed and the bow was in full swing.

The cavalry in Tianshan rode his horse and galloped, and the ground trembled for it, looking unstoppable.

There is a trench more than ten meters outside the building. Because the time is too urgent, the trench can only pay attention to its width as much as possible. The excavation is not deep, and its width is as wide as possible so that the opponent's war horse cannot easily cross it.

In the trench, wooden stakes were buried with pointed thorns. Once they fell into it, they would be difficult to escape.

While charging, Gu Liangchen suddenly raised his saber and made several moves in succession. He saw the Tianshan cavalry quickly lined up in rows, about hundreds of cavalry in rows, followed by a row of soldiers and horses. The first row was still charging, but the speed of the second row of cavalry had slowed down. The speed of each row of cavalry behind was slowed down, and the slowing speed was different. However, in this way, thousands of cavalry more than a dozen cavalry, and the distance between each row had been widened.

Chu Huan saw clearly above the sentry tower and frowned slightly. Although he had heard of the name of the Tianshan cavalry for a long time, he once felt that the Tianshan cavalry had not been trained, and might be powerful, but perhaps it was actually true. However, the dispatch of the Tianshan cavalry was extremely unified. With the military orders, the Tianshan cavalry could quickly act in accordance with the military orders. When charging, they could charge and arrange the array. Moreover, the soldiers could control the speed and widen the distance. This was definitely not something that could be trained in three to five months.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Tianshan cavalry is unknown, Chu Huan has to admit that the Tianshan cavalry is indeed well-trained, and the cavalry of individual soldiers is not weak, and the cooperation between the companions is also very tacit. Pei Ji occasionally talked about the way of training. After all, the real training is two points. One is to practice individual soldiers' combat skills, and the other is to train soldiers' discipline.

Although the so-called discipline contains moral discipline, the most important thing is the discipline of cooperation among soldiers. Only when discipline is strict can soldiers order orders and cooperate tacitly. In fact, not to mention the tense moments on the battlefield, it is really not easy to allow soldiers to fight to cooperate and order orders and orders from above during regular drills. What's more, compared to infantry, cavalry needs to control their own war horses, which is even more extraordinary.

If a well-trained cavalry is commanded by a warlike general, even if his combat experience is not very sophisticated, the tactical command of the general and the tacit cooperation between the soldiers will be enough to make up for all these shortcomings.

The cavalry that appeared in front of Chu Huan at this time was undoubtedly a well-trained soldier. And just by charging, Chu Huan knew that the general who commanded the North Wing cavalry was indeed a war-capable guy.

The cavalry arrays separated and distanced, Chu Huan guessed the other party's thoughts in an instant.

If the opponent's cavalry is crowded into a group and there is no distance between the front and back, then the first row of cavalry may cross the trench with the help of the sprint momentum, but the cavalry behind them will not have enough time to prepare. Moreover, once the companions in front have an accident, the soldiers behind them will definitely be affected by the companions in a hurry, and they will all be overwhelmed together.

However, once the distance is opened and the first row of cavalry crosses the trench, whether successful or not, the companions behind will have sufficient time to deal with each other. Once the companions cross the trench, the cavalry behind will naturally continue to charge. However, once the companions fall into the trench, the cavalry behind will immediately slow down. Whether they are protecting themselves or rescuing companions who fall into the trap, there will be sufficient time to prepare.

Chu Huan hoped to see the other party rushing over, but the other party's strategy obviously disappointed him.

But at this moment he also knew that the Tianshan cavalry had a good reputation, but it also made sense. This was by no means a group of mobs. Once the command was properly, it would be hard to match the Xiguan Army.

The first row of Tianshan cavalry was like a tiger going down the mountain, with great momentum and obviously full of confidence.

Seeing that he had rushed to a distance of only a few meters from the trench and had already entered the range, Chu Huan did not immediately order the arrow to shoot, frowned, and stared at the Tianshan cavalry rushing towards him in a fierce manner.

When the Tianshan cavalry saw the trench in front, they were ready, shook the reins of the horse, and prepared for the final sprint. The faster the speed, the longer the distance they crossed, and the trench not far away in front of them looked like an insurmountable obstacle at all.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

When those cavalrymen who made the final sprint kept their formation and rushed forward, they suddenly turned their backs and the horses were neighing, and countless war horses fell over as if they were caught in evil. The cavalry on the horse were caught off guard and focused all their attention on the trench not far ahead. Never expected that there would be a sudden accident.

At this moment, after the wall was built, roars came everywhere. Although the Xiguan soldiers behind the wooden railings and earthen walls did not shoot arrows, they made a cheer.

Gu Liangchen was not listed in the first row, but between the first and second rows of cavalry. After all, a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall. The cavalry in the first row of charge was the most dangerous. After all, the Xiguan Army was not a waste of money. With Mulan as a barrier, the arrows were fired at that time, it would definitely cause considerable damage to the cavalry in front. He was the commander of the cavalry in the north wing. Once he was on the charge road, the entire cavalry in the north wing would have no heads, and the result would be disastrous.

The first row of cavalrymen in front suddenly changed. Wherever they saw, their soldiers and horses were overturned, screaming in a row, and were shocked, and they had quickly slowed down their horse speed. At this time, they could see clearly that the Xiguan Army had actually dug another hidden pit in front of the bright trench. However, this hidden pit was cleverly concealed, and it looked just a flat grass. Although there were still some hidden marks in many places, the cavalry focused on the bright trench under the high-speed charge, and they did not expect to be tested by a dark trench first.

The horse farm uses wooden railings and earthen walls as the main defensive fortifications. The trenches are bright, but dark pits are used as auxiliary. No matter how exquisite the cavalry of Tianshan is, how can they react? More than half of the cavalry are trapped in the dark pit. Naturally, sharp wooden stakes are indispensable in the dark pit, which fall into it and pierces the bodies of the people and horses, and blood is poured out. Many people shout and neigh. Many fall into it. Whether it is a man or a horse, they are seriously injured and trapped in it and cannot come out.

Although Chu Huan emerged from a new force, it only took a few years to become a rank-in-law official, but he is a person who has excellent adaptability to the environment.

When he arrived in the northwest and saw clearly the situation in the northwest, he knew that he would have to use weapons on the northwest land.

If you want to survive, you can never count on others. You can only arm yourself and make yourself stronger. Chu Huan understood this truth very early. So after coming to the northwest, as long as you have free time, he will seize every minute and every second to practice martial arts and study military books. Even when you rest at night, unless Su Niang can't hold on, you will try your best to go to Su Niang's room. In addition to enjoying the joy of fish and water between husband and wife, you can also use Su Niang's body to practice martial arts and maintain your energy.

Throughout history, every dynasty has been built through countless wars, fighting east and west, fighting south and north, and every war will leave valuable experience for future generations. Throughout history, there have been many famous generals, including many people with both civil and military skills, who have left behind valuable military books. Chu Huan has excellent understanding and has benefited from the military books left by his predecessors.

The virtuality is based on the real and the real, which is mentioned many times in the art of war. In the eyes of many famous generals, no matter what geographical environment they are in, as long as they are good at discovering, they can always find factors that can be used.

Chu Huan knew that Tianshan soldiers were numerous, but he also knew that the other party lacked experience. If he set up a secret pit himself, it would be easy to fool the other party. Digging pits in outer trenches, the Ming trenches were actually just a cover-up auxiliary project. The real killer move was actually in the secret pit. In order to make the opponent bravely rush over, the Ming trenches did not dig too wide. In this way, the opponent's cavalry could cross the Ming trenches. As long as they aim to cross the Ming trenches, the cavalry would charge at full speed and would inevitably fall into the secret pit trap.
