When Feng Polu discussed tactics with his generals, Chu Huan was only one day away from Qiu Fengyuan.

He did not let the entire army march urgently. After all, a war is imminent, and both people and horses must maintain their strength and stop and rest during the march.

In the simple and simple tent that was temporarily built, Pei Ji was standing in front of a map. In front of the map, Chu Huan stood with his hands behind his back, and behind him were a group of powerful generals.

Chu Huan went on a war this time and left Xu Shao to guard Tongzhou to ensure the safety of Tongzhou.

Now Tongzhou has become a material base for the Northwest Army within the pass. Most of the food and supplies are stored in the warehouses in Tongzhou, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Feng Polu will definitely take advantage of these two high grounds." Pei Ji looked solemn and pointed to the high ground on both sides of Qiufengyuan on the map. "If nothing unexpected happens, what he put out is a crane wing formation. Qiufengyuan has arranged heavy troops to confront us head-on, and there must be cavalry on the high ground on both wings to find an opportunity to fight."

Gu Liangchen looked grim and said, "The Yi bar cavalry is brave and good at fighting. Qiu Feng is the place we must pass through. Now they have controlled the Qiu Feng Yuan area and have taken the lead. If we go to fight, the Yi bar cavalry on both wings will definitely become a threat to our flanks."

Pei Ji nodded and said, "So, our best choice for this formation is to fight it with a cone formation." He walked over, put some small stones on the ground, quickly posed as a cone formation, and looked up and said, "The cone formation is the best formation to break the enemy formation, but once the cone formation is unfolded, it can strengthen the defense of the two wings. The arrow at the front is to make a quick breakthrough with the most elite troops, which can pierce the enemy formation and disrupt the opponent's formation. Once the opponent falls into chaos, the two wings can quickly spread and encircle forward." He paused and said solemnly: "But the biggest weakness of the cone formation is the empty defense in the rear. Once the enemy appears in the rear, it can easily disrupt our formation, and even lead to the collapse of our army."

"General, Feng Polu has only more than 10,000 people on hand, and almost all of them are in Qiufengyuan. He can't have any extra troops to detour behind us." Gu Liangchen stared at the cone formation on the ground, "We can send more scouts to patrol the rear!"

Pei Ji smiled and said, "I'm not worried about other soldiers and horses appearing behind us. But the Yi barbarian cavalry stationed on the high ground on both wings are very fast. I'm worried that by then, some of them will see the flaws of the cone formation and will abandon attack from the flanks, take advantage of the cavalry's speed and quickly go around to our rear!"

Chu Huan stared at the formation and pondered for a moment before saying, "Once we enter Qiufengyuan, we must send someone to stare at the wings. It's okay if they don't move, but once they have movements, they will change the formation immediately."

Pei Ji said solemnly: "Any situation can happen on the battlefield, but it is not easy to suddenly change the formation during the battle. If you are not careful, the soldiers will fall into chaos." He stared at the ground, then picked up a small stone and made some changes. Everyone did not say anything. After a while, Pei Ji said: "If you want to defeat Feng Polu in this battle, the most important thing is the arrow of the cone formation. You must pierce the enemy formation at the fastest speed and cut them open. As long as you can cut quickly, our cavalry can quickly spread to the two wings and turn around to counter-surround the enemy. At that time, even if the Yi barbarian cavalry on both sides kills, they may be trapped in our counter-surround."

Pei Ji once gave Chu Huan a military military book, but Chu Huan had researched it. However, he could understand what Pei Ji said and frowned and said, "If you want to implement anti-encirclement, your troops must be no less, and you must be cavalry. Otherwise, the speed cannot keep up, and they can easily adjust it. Therefore, according to this tactic, we must arrange the main cavalry on the edge of the blade. They not only have to cut the enemy formation as fast as possible, but also implement anti-encirclement. The success or failure of the entire battle situation depends on whether they can quickly cut the anti-encirclement."

Gu Liangchen couldn't help but say, "King, the Yi barbarians have nearly 10,000 cavalry. Even if they divide the two wings, they will definitely have strong troops in the middle. If you want to break through them, you naturally have to use all the cavalry at hand. However, in this way, without the protection of cavalry on both wings, you will appear very weak. Feng Polu is a brave general who has been through many battles. At that time, he will definitely see our flaws and order the two wings of cavalry to attack."

Pei Ji nodded and said, "What General Gu said is that Feng Polu would never miss such an opportunity. Therefore, once such tactics are implemented, not only will our cavalry be able to achieve the task quickly, but the soldiers on both wings of the cone formation must also hold up the impact of the opponent's cavalry. Before our cavalry achieves the counter-encirclement mission, the two wings must resist their cavalry at all costs. Otherwise, their cavalry will break through the wings, and the whole situation will fall into chaos. It is not yet known who will win."

Chu Huan looked solemn and said, "This fierce battle is already in our plan, and the other party has a geographical advantage, so we have no other choice but to fight hard." Looking at Pei Ji, he said, "Use all our cavalry on the sharp blades, and arrange infantry on both wings. Although they are cavalry, their strength is not as strong as us. We arrange heavy troops on both wings, support them with all our strength."

Pei Ji thought about it for a while before saying, "But there is another thing that will have a great impact on the situation."

"What is the General talking about the Xishan Army?" Chu Huan immediately reacted.

Pei Ji nodded slightly and said, "Feng Polu has incorporated the Xishan Army in Yunshan Prefecture City as a vanguard. If Wei Tianqing can convince them, it would be easy to say. But if those people will not turn against each other in the face of the battle, the first thing we need to break through is them. In this way, it will have a weakening effect on the impact of our cavalry. After all, there are thousands of soldiers and most of them are the Xishan Imperial Guards. Qiao Mingtang's defeat in the previous period was also an ambush, which does not mean that the Xishan Imperial Guards are vulnerable. This time they are prepared, and it will be much harder to deal with than the last time."

Chu Huan's expression also became solemn. At this moment, he heard a voice from outside the tent: "Report to the king, there is an emergency military situation!"

Chu Huan turned around and asked someone to come in. After the visitor entered the tent, he bowed and said, "King, Deputy General Wang Dong of the Forward Camp sent Xiao to report secretly. Wei Tianqing Wei's command suddenly disappeared from the Forward Camp and his whereabouts were unknown!"

Chu Huan changed color slightly, stepped forward two steps, and said in a deep voice: "Is Wei Tianqing missing?"

"Yes, Deputy General Wang has military affairs to find the military commander, but the military commander is not in the camp. Deputy General Wang sent people to search, but there was no trace of the military commander in the entire camp." The visitor gasped and said, "Deputy General Wang did not publicize the outside world, but sent a small person to report quickly."

Chu Huan turned around and saw that the others were frowning.

Although Wei Tianqing, the commander of the Forward Battalion this time, there were not many people who knew about this. Even the soldiers of the Forward Battalion did not know that Wei Tianqing was the general of the Forward Battalion when they came out again.

In order to confuse Feng Polu, Pei Ji deliberately announced in the army that the general of the vanguard battalion was Wang Dong, who was a new force promoted by Chu Huan from the army, and he was quite prestigious in the Northwest Army.

Therefore, this time, the Forward Battalion not only raised the banner of Chu Huan, but also raised the banner of the general.

According to the plan, when the Forward Battalion faces against the Xishan Army, the flag will be changed immediately, and Wei Tianqing will lead the Forward Battalion. Before that, Wang Dong was an open vanguard general.

Gu Liangchen took two steps forward and couldn't help but say, "King, Wei Tianqing disappeared at the forefront, right?" But he didn't say anything, but his expression showed suspicion of Wei Tianqing.

Chu Huan knew Gu Liangchen's concerns, pondered slightly, shook his head and said, "Wei Tianqing is an open and honest person, and he would never betray me at such a time!" After thinking for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he said softly: "Is that true!"

Pei Ji had already walked to Chu Huan at this time and whispered: "The king thought Wei Tianqing left alone, was he going to the enemy camp?"

Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "Feng Polu has already deployed the Xishan Army on the front line of Qiufengyuan. Wei Tianqing is likely to go to the Xishan Army Camp alone!"

"Does the king say he wants to go and persuade the Xishan Army to turn against each other?" Pei Ji asked.

Chu Huan walked out of the tent slowly. It was dark and sparks were lit. He looked up at the night sky and frowned and said, "He is entering the tiger's den alone, and the good or bad is uncertain!"

The three thousand soldiers and horses in the West Mountain were all reorganized by Feng Polu. This time, the formation was used as a pioneer and was arranged at Qiufengyuankou.

Three thousand soldiers and hundreds of camps, under the night, sparks dotted.

After the Xishan Army was reorganized by Feng Polu, in order not to anger the army too much, the leading general was Qiao Yin, the Lang general who was originally affiliated with the Xishan Imperial Guard.

However, Feng Polu was obviously not at ease with this army, so he sent a close confidant to serve as Qiao Yin's deputy general, responsible for surveillance at Qiao Yin nearby.

Three thousand Xishan Army took the lead and lined up at the front line. The Xishan Army knew Feng Polu's thoughts from top to bottom, and obviously wanted to send the Xishan Army to the front as cannon fodder.

The soldiers of the Xishan Army were still a little angry.

The main force of these three thousand soldiers is the original Xishan Imperial Guard, which belongs directly to Qiao Mingtang. It has been led by Wei Tianqing. After years of training, he often sent troops to suppress bandits. His equipment is not bad, and he has always been full of confidence.

However, the defeat at the Northwest Army in the previous period greatly reduced the morale of these soldiers. They were even a little unwilling to accept it. They just felt that they had fallen into the trap of the Northwest Army and were not facing a head-on decisive.

However, in the change of Yunshan, Qiao Mingtang's whereabouts were unknown, and Wei Tianqing disappeared without a trace. The Xishan army was in charge. After Feng Polu was in charge, he immediately transferred the army out of Yunshan City and soon deployed the defense to the front line. In the eyes of these soldiers, Feng Polu would rather trust foreign barbarians than believe in himself, which made the soldiers angry and a little frustrated.

Qiao Yin knew the emotions in the hearts of the soldiers, but now it is now, but there is no way to improve morale.

The Northwest Army is coming, and a decisive battle will soon be held. This army will be the first team to fight with the Northwest Army. Qiao Yin has fought with the Northwest Army and already knows the effectiveness of the Northwest Army. For this battle, he cannot be sure who will win in the end, but one thing he is very sure is that the army under his command may suffer a catastrophe.
