"Fencer" Zhuge Shuang and "Crooked Stealer A San" Zhu Wen had an unexpected encounter in Guangwu Mountain, Biankou. When a chaotic battle was about to begin, on the Xiliao River Plain, the Northern Expedition Corps that broke the Dongxiya Treasure last year also entered the Khitan grassland on the Xiliao River Plain again and was preparing to assist and cooperate with Guo Chongtao's corps, unexpectedly encountered a Khitan cavalry unit.

This is the Yishi tribe of the Khitan tribe. It originally belonged to the Shenmi tribe of the eight ancient tribes. Later, the Shenmi tribe was divided into two parts, namely the Yishi and the Bali tribe. The Yishi is a large part, and this Yishi tribe cavalry encountered on the grassland had more than 15,000 cavalry.

However, the Northern Expedition troops had only 20,000 cavalry, plus a 50,000 student troops.

The General's Information Office's Discovery quickly returned the information, and the Staff Office's Staff Office became nervous and busy.

Guo Tao's First Cultivator Army was regarded as a reserve force.

After receiving the order, he was extremely dissatisfied and cursed and turned back and forth in the First Army's command tent, like a hungry old wolf, baring his teeth and staring at him.

It has to be said that war is indeed the best training center. Although Guo Tao has always shown maturity far beyond his age, he is still a little childish. However, in the Northern Expedition last year, he participated in the battle as a student soldier and led the First Cavalry of the First Army of the Xue Army. In the battle with Dong Xi, Guo Tao got the opportunity to personally lead the First Cavalry of the Xue Army to participate in the front line. In that battle, the First Army suffered a considerable loss, but gained even greater success. After those young young scholars survived the fierce battle, they all became soldiers.

Guo Tao performed even more outstandingly. However, since that war, his battles have become more and more high. He even learned the habit of cursing from several commanders and generals in that war.

The teachings of the First Army made Cui Longhai lie on the table and look at the map. He was not tall, had a thin figure, fair face, and a bookish spirit. At this time, he was just over twenty years old. Although he was young, he actually seemed older than Guo Tao, a military leader who was only fifteen years old. Cui Longhai was not from the Central Plains, but a second generation of Silla nobles who came to study in the Shangbang of the Celestial Empire. His father was a Silla student. Like Cui Zhiyuan, an important official in the Qin vassal, they were both Silla students in the Tang Dynasty. However, his father came earlier. Like Cui Zhiyuan, Cui Longhai's father studied in the Imperial College in Chang'an, later took the imperial examination, passed the Jinshi exam, and then became an official in the Tang Dynasty, and never returned to Silla.

Cui Longhai was born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the Tang Dynasty. He has novels in the Tang Dynasty's rhythmic language and read the poetry and books of the Tang Dynasty. Although his ancestors were from Silla, he was even more Tang Dynasty than most Tang people. He was already a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty at the age of 20, and a few years ago. When Li Jing first became the envoy of Zhendong Army, he was already recommended by Cui Zhiyuan to join Li Jing. The official Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination was rare in the Zhendong Army at that time. He worked in Li Jing's shogunate, and later served as a county magistrate in the local area. However, he finally gave up his pen and joined the military and entered the martial arts lecture hall to study. This year, after graduation, he was officially transferred to the Young Army as the teaching envoy of the First Army.

"Damn, our first army is raised by my stepmother? We are not jealous of eating meat, but at least we have to give some soup. We always use it as an excuse for being a young army. Last winter, we were in the Khan tent of King Xi. We had no vagueness in those fierce battles? When did we perform poorly and shrink back? We didn't kill less than their soldiers, right? From now on, we have been considered a series of soldiers on the front line, but now we are treating us as a reserve team. Isn't this his mother's way of bullying people?"

Cui Longhai didn't even raise his head. Although he had not been partnering with Guo Tao for a long time, he knew this young general very well. Since the Northern Expedition last winter, the young general couldn't hold on. If he was a little angry, he had to find fault, otherwise he would easily get into trouble. He knew that Guo Tao was provoking him and attempted to argue with him.

Cui Longhai sometimes couldn't help thinking that maybe the victory of those battles last year made this little guy a little proud and arrogant.

Perhaps he was dissatisfied with his teaching in charge of the First Army. He heard that when Guo Tao was the deputy commander of the First Army and the head of the front wing, he got along well with the former commander of the army and the front wing. Now he has become the head of the army, but he has begun to have such a big temper?

He tried every means to find fault with him! The proud little guy! The Staff Office of the Military Department, the Staff Office of the Intelligence Department, the Staff Office of the Intelligence Department, the Staff Officer of the Intelligence Department, and the Director of the Intelligence Department knew that the two No. 1 and No. 2 were in a row, so they had already left. They would not offend anyone between No. 1 and No. 2.

Seeing that Cui Longhai was silent, Guo Tao became more and more annoyed.

He was not looking down on scholars, but on the contrary, he respected scholars very much. However, Cui Longhai was a Silla family, and the other hand, most of the officers in the young army were military academy students and were very young, but Cui Longhai was in his twenties and was older than them. The white-faced scholar was very good at winning people's hearts. The two of them were almost the first army together, and it turned out that he was more familiar with the military headquarters. This made Guo Tao feel alert to him involuntarily.

A white-faced scholar, can he fight? That is, he just talks. If the First Army does not have this instruction, I will still lead the troops. So what if I am old? Last year, I still brought a wing of troops and killed the Xi people. He was upset and cursed more and more.

Seeing that he became more and more distorted, Cui Longhai spoke out and advised: "Xiao Guo..."

"Call a military leader, Lao Guo can do it." Guo Tao interrupted Cui Longhai seriously.

Cui Longhai looked at Guo Tao, who had just grown a layer of short beard on his lips, but he pretended to be mature and asked him to call him Lao Guo. He almost couldn't help laughing in his heart, but finally he refused to follow him and said, "Old Guo! It's so bad for your brothers to complain about it. Let's be the reserve team. It must be their consideration. Good steel is used on the blade. This is not to distrust us. Now who doesn't know about you, Lao Guo, and you are called Saburo, nicknamed Xiaohu..."

Guo Tao turned his back as soon as he heard this, "Please give me a dog skin plaster. Then his mother's second army is raised by his mother? Why are all good things belonging to them? They are still infantry, and we are still cavalry? If you want me to say, a soldier is a bellow, our first army cannot eat meat. It's just that our teachings make us too bear in front of all the Shangguans in the camp. What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight with the governor? Why don't you dare to fight with the marching army?" Guo Tao blushed and roared with blue veins. In the Battle of the North of the Year, his performance was very eye-catching in the Young Army, and he was even given a desperate praise by the King of Qin. As a result, the young army's classmates also gave him a nickname, called him Little Tiger.

Originally, he was called Xiao Laohu just a praise word, but he had no other meaning. But now Guo Tao is most afraid of others saying that he is young. He said that he is young and that he is a military leader, as if he is a little unqualified. Therefore, the nickname of this Xiao Laohu made him hate him very much. If anyone called him Xiao Laohu in person, he would definitely turn against him immediately.

"Xiao Guo, who are you scolding?" Cui Longhai finally couldn't help but attack, and then he restrained himself. After all, he was five years older than Guo Tao. Although Guo Tao was the leader of the first army, he was still the leader of the young army. He was only fifteen years old, just a young man.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew that Guo Tao's current explosive temper was just that he wanted to hide his youth and pretend to be mature. He wanted to use this method to keep silent, damn, and let someone call him Lao Guo and others to show that he is a mature and qualified commander.

A voice came from outside the door, "Guo Tao, you must be cursing again, right?"

Guo Tao cursed: "Which dog's report hit me..."

"Don't blame others, I heard it myself. Stay honestly for me, are you afraid of fighting? Your first army of military training is the cavalry unit. This is a sharp sword, and you have to go up sooner or later. Listen, when it's your turn, if you get diarrhea for me..."

Lin Wei's army was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army. Lin Wei lifted the military tent, came in from outside, and shouted.

Guo Tao immediately responded loudly: "If that's the case, you twist my head off as a chamber pot! Thank you, Duke, I'll kowtow to you."

"Hmph, you can keep it for yourself. I can't use such a big chamber pot. How can I learn the bad temper? I'm full of gunpowder, and I just stumble. I'll hear you cursing here two miles away. Don't think that it would be great if I went to the battlefield a few times and killed a few people."

"Return to the commander-in-chief, in the battle of Dongxi Yaguan, the last general led the entire unit of the headquarters to charge by orders. Not only did he destroy the enemy's formation, but he also pursued the enemy for three days and three nights, beheaded 1,369 levels, captured more than 3,700 prisoners, and killed more than 5,000 prisoners. This is a real front and no one can erase it." Guo Tao replied loudly.

"I know, I know, I have a good memory. I even remember thousands, hundreds or dozens of times so clearly. You should be an accountant in the General Administration of Taxation or Customs, and the Investigation and Statistics Office, and you will never waste your talent." Lin Wei was a little amused by Guo Tao. Guo Tao, a kid who is so old, is really amazing. Even the King of Qin looked at him with admiration and planned to focus on cultivating this kid. However, this kid has the ability and his temper has risen. Even the teaching force can't help but he can't help but lower this kid.

On the banks of the Tuhe River, the smoke filled the sky, and the shouts of killing are shocking!

Several groups of cavalry from the Yishi Division of the Turkic Army took turns to launch fierce charges towards the Qin army Lin Wei's troops who were leaning against the river bank. The position that the Qin army hastily built is constantly shaken under the charge of the Khitan iron hoof.

Among the twenty Khitan tribes, the Yishi tribe belongs to the second most powerful tribes among the Qiyelu. After the civil war between Qiyelu, the Yishi tribe has become the top five tribes in the Khitan. Yizhidun is the wife of Yelu Puguz, the Khitan Yilijin, and is the young leader of the Yishi tribe. He has studied abroad in the Chang'an Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty, and even spent several years traveling between the Roman Empire in Taixi, the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire. This is a unique Khitan who is proficient in many languages ​​and history, not a traditional Khitan barbarian.

Echtton was not only a multilingualist, translator, and historian, but also an extremely smart trader and an excellent commander.

When he encountered the Tang army, although he had few soldiers and had a large power, he seized the advantageous terrain he occupied and did not retreat. Instead, he immediately involved the Tang army in battle and forced the Tang army to fight back.

The Tu River is a big river that flows through the entire Xijing and connects Huangshui.

When the two sides encountered each other, Lin Wei's troops had just crossed the Tu River, which was located on the east bank. Edgeton charged from the east, forcing several clusters that had been dispersed from Lin Wei's corps to complete the assembly and directly attack the center of Lin Wei's corps. How could they directly use a penetration tactic to rush the central army of Lin Wei's corps into Hanoi, then split the Qin army and defeat them one by one.

Lin Wei's army had a total of 70,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 soldiers and cavalry, 10,000 Xuejun cavalry, and another 40,000 Xuejun infantry. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and auxiliary soldiers left, which were staying in the Xi territory behind.

However, at this time, the 70,000 troops of Lin Wei's regiment did not gather together. The vast grasslands marched, and the army was very far away from each other, and several troops advanced in a fan shape. Such a formation could easily obtain supplies on the spot and prevent them from being ambushed and raided.

But when the cavalry of the Yishi Division encountered the Qin army suddenly, the Qin army's central army had less than 20,000 troops to fight, including Guo Tao's first cavalry unit of the first cavalry of the academic army.

Edgeton also noticed this situation clearly. Instead of rushing to escape, he began to use his temporary military advantage to launch a charge towards the Qin army.

Lin Wei was also a veteran general in the Qin army. He was not panicked when facing enemy attacks. Even though he was at a disadvantage, he was not afraid at all.

He quickly came up with a combat plan with his staff, and simply retreated to the riverside, formed a formation with his back and forth. He used vehicles to form a formation of vehicles, then dug a trench, buried antlers, caltrops, and trapped horse pits. On the other hand, he piled up soil behind the trench to form a wall, and then formed a spear formation.

The only two cavalry, one combat cavalry and the other student cavalry, were also ordered by Lin Wei to retreat in the formation and standby.

This is a defensive formation. As long as they can hold up the first few rounds of charge of the Khitans, when they are tired, they will release cavalry to entangle them, and then wait for other troops to return to help. At that time, they can attract them here and encircle them here.

However, the cavalry of the B Section is indeed fierce. After the Qin army's cavalry did not participate in the war, the remaining one could only rely on two infantry troops to defend against the Khitans.

Although there is a Tuhe River behind the Qin army, which reduces attacks from behind, it also makes the Qin army have no way to retreat. The temporary defensive positions built cannot well stop the Khitans' charge. Groups of Khitan cavalry charge like thunder. If the Qin army behind the chariot formation is not careful, they will be shot by the bows and arrows of the Khitan cavalry.
