Yuwen Wen is very confident in winning the decisive battle that is about to begin, but this does not mean that he can treat Yuchi Youqi's army as a native chicken and treasure. His own side has many troops, while the other side is also full of troops and even has a slight advantage.

The enemy formation was also boundless, with a large area of ​​blackness, and there were obviously more cavalry than his side.

The soldiers who used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy formation came from news. The formation set up by Yuchi Youqi was different from his own side: the enemy's front school was an infantry horizontal formation, which should be a bluffing formation, because the formation of the lieutenant colonel behind was a cavalry in the middle, the infantry in the two wings, and the outside was a cavalry.

At the end of the formation, there seemed to be a large number of cavalrymen.

Generally speaking, when arranging the array, the center infantry is an anvil and the left and right wings are a hammer, which is a relatively "normal" formation. If you do the opposite, it is a strong attack formation based on the advantage of the cavalry.

The cavalry centered means that the commander will adopt the central breakthrough tactic of the light cavalry. This tactic is to mobilize the enemy by attacking the two wings. After finding the fighter plane, he will use the light cavalry with a fast moving speed in the Central Army to forcibly attack the enemy's central army's main formation.

The central breakthrough tactic relies extremely on speed, and the light cavalry needs to quickly cut into the opponent's large formation and interweave repeatedly to trigger a series of collapses. Therefore, the heavy cavalry (armored cavalry) with slow movement speed is not suitable for the main attack task.

This tactic has appeared on the battlefield many times. More than 60 years ago, Erzhu Rong's seven thousand cavalry broke through Ge Rong's army of hundreds of thousands, relying on the breakthrough of the cavalry center and arrayed for dozens of miles. Ge Rong's army, which was advancing by Ji Zhang, was instantly defeated.

Later in the Battle of Hanling, Erzhu Zhao, who had obvious superior forces, implemented the central breakthrough tactic against Gao Huan, but was defeated by Gao Aocao with the same tactics horizontally and sideways. This battle became the elegy of the demise of the Erzhu clan.

In the "historical" of the Battle of Hulao Pass in Tang, Xia and Zheng, Li Shimin broke through Dou Jiande's army (Xia army) with three thousand Xuanjia cavalry and decided to fight.

‘You are really confident in facing my group of infantry, Yuchi Youqi.’

Yuwen Wen thought in his heart, put away the Qianli Milestone, and issued an order loudly: "Beat the drum, attack!"

......

At the beginning of the decisive battle, more than 100,000 people from the East and West armies fought in the wilderness, shooting several rounds of arrows and threw a round of sky-burning thunder. After the two armies collided in front of the formation, stabbed each other with spears and spears, and defended with shields.

The front row of soldiers fought against the other side, and the back row of soldiers continued to throw thunder forward. The battle lines between the two sides burst into flames from time to time, and a large amount of thick smoke rose, and gunpowder filled the battlefield, and explosions came one after another.

The advent of the Sky Thunder triggered a series of new tactics, but the Sky Thunder that can be thrown by hands is limited after all, and there will not be too many people who can directly kill during explosions. Most of the loud noises and impacts can only hurt people around the explosion site, and these people will not lose their combat effectiveness immediately.

Therefore, we must also find out by hand-to-hand combat. Both sides attack at the left, center and right armies at the same time to see who reveals the flaws first.

A war usually lasts a day, or even lasts until the early morning of the next day. Therefore, when the war begins, the East and the West have not done their best, and are gradually joining the army with the tactics of adding fuel.

While the infantry was fighting, the cavalry on both sides of the two armies were also chasing each other, harassing the enemy's flanks, and driving the enemy cavalry to guard their flanks.

The war started from early morning to noon, and the front line was in a stalemate, no victory or defeat, and was temporarily in a state of equal strength.

The east and west armies had a formation that lasted for more than ten miles. It was extremely inconvenient for the commander to command their respective teams. There was a delay in the transmission of commanders and horses, so it mainly relied on the sound of drums and horns to convey information.

However, there is no substantial difference between the drums and horns on both sides, so there are various drums and horns on the battlefield, and the sound of killing is shocking and thunder is rumbling. Many soldiers can't tell which sounds belong to their own side and which are the enemy.

Therefore, the messengers who have to send orders are also driven by the messengers. The messengers who are on their backs are galloping in the gaps between the small array and the small array. The gaps are more than ten steps wide and six or seven steps narrow, which are specially reserved for easy communication of troops and the messengers.

It is also convenient to transport water.

Small carts shuttled between the small arrays. The chefs distributed hot cakes to the soldiers who were sitting on the ground to prepare for the battle, and then filled the opponent's empty bamboo tubes with water.

The war ahead was fierce, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the hands and feet were broken. As a result, the soldiers waiting for battle were eating and drinking water. Wouldn't it be too much?

No, evenly matched battles will take place for one day. It is noon. The soldiers who have not participated in the war will not hurry up and drink water to fill their stomachs. Where can I get the strength when I put them into the battle?

The water that the chefs replenished for the soldiers was cooked. It had boiled yesterday and was stored in the water truck to fight with the army. In order to prevent the soldiers from eating cold food and drinking cold water to cause diarrhea, these foods and water were reheated.

Behind the formation, besides pack horses, the baggage was a field dining cart. The fellow soldiers provided hot drinks and hot food to the army on the battlefield. The field dining cart was the latest military equipment of the Huangzhou Army, which ensured that the soldiers drank water in time on the battlefield to quench their thirst and ate food to fill their stomachs.

A big battle can last one day. Soldiers who have eaten breakfast in the morning will be hungry at noon. They will have water bags and bamboo tubes with them. By noon, the water inside will be finished long ago. If they cannot replenish their diet in time, they will cough and their throats will be inflamed. How can the hungry soldiers survive the "second half".

In the main formation of the Right Army, Li Jing held a hot pancake and looked at a strange cart in front of him. The soldiers and the soldiers around him were all trying to drink water and eat. Li Jing was in a daze and looked very eye-catching.

When King Li Yao saw his younger brother in a daze, he touched the other party with his elbow: "Sanlang, eat quickly, I'm afraid I'll start a tough battle in the afternoon."

"Uh, brother, what are they doing?"

Li Jing pointed to the busy people around the cart and asked, "A bracket was erected on the cart, with a long stick connected by wooden sticks, and an iron drill bit at the end, which was inserted vertically into the ground. The people were circling around the lower end of the cart, like a donkey pulling a mill.

"Ah, that's digging a well." Li Yaowang smiled, "This tool is used to dig a well."

"Digging a well?" Li Jing felt unbelievable when he heard this. "Since there are water trucks that store water, why do you do this in one go? Not to mention digging a well on the battlefield, this is not..."

Li Jing did not say the word "doing randomly". After all, it was a problem for the one who heard it. However, he could not agree with the one who did: Are there any brain problems when digging wells on the battlefield?

Li Jing was familiar with military books and had a guide to his uncle who had rich experience in leading troops. Of course, he knew that it was normal to spend a whole day in a battle, so it was necessary to pay attention to the details of supplementing the soldiers' diet in time.

The war was in a stalemate. He observed it all morning and felt that the formation set up by King Xiyang was in a normal manner. Although the quality of the soldiers was uneven, the formation was neat and the divisions followed the orders. From this point of view, there was hope for victory in this battle.

King Xiyang paid attention to providing food to the soldiers at noon. Li Jing felt that this was something that qualified coaches must consider. Of course, it was really good to have hot drinks and hot food, but he thought it was too exaggerated to dig a well on the spot.

Soldiers have limited physical strength, so they can't just fight in the wilderness for several days day and night. After a day of battle, it's time to see the conclusion. The amount of water reserved by the military water truck is enough, so why do you still dig a well?

"It's out of water! It's out of water!!"

The cheers interrupted Li Jing's thoughts. He looked up and saw that water was coming out of his eyes from the big hole in the bowl on the ground. It was very turbid at the beginning, but it became clear in a short while, but the amount of water was a little small.

Li Jing felt that this kind of well had no practical significance, but saw those people taking a bamboo tube and inserting it into the hole. After a while, they shook an iron rod on the top of the bamboo tube, and the hole on the side of the bamboo tube kept flowing out of water.

This thing should be a water-drawing tool. Although it solved the problem of water-drawing, Li Jing still felt that it was unnecessary to dig a well on the battlefield. Han Qinhu, the marching supervisor who was dispatching troops, frowned when he saw his nephew and said with a smile: "Does the pharmacist not understand why he dug a well?"

"Uncle...Master, this is nothing more than planning to win before he can win, but more than 100,000 troops will fight to the decisive battle, and the losers will scatter like birds and beasts. They want to defend themselves, relying on a few wells until reinforcements arrive. I think this is impossible."

Li Jing had no military position, so he could only call himself "belower" in public. He believed that he had seen the plan of King Xiyang, and the other party was preparing to defend the war when the war was unfavorable.

After all, if you don’t have dry food, you can kill your horse. You can endure it for a while, and if you don’t have water to drink, the soldiers can’t help it.

Seeing that his nephew was not enlightened, Han Qinhu asked, "Who stipulates that the final battle must be decided on the same day?"

"Hmm? This..."

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this because he thought of a terrible scene:

If the enemy does not seek a decisive victory today, they adopt another tactic, confronting the infantry, and then dispersing the cavalry on the periphery with superior cavalry and oppressing their own cavalry. In the end, it is very likely that their infantry will be trapped here and cannot advance or retreat.

At that time, tens of thousands of soldiers can eat dry food when they are hungry. If they are thirsty, the water storage capacity of those water trucks may not be enough for so many people to drink, let alone in a confrontation state, people will be very nervous, sweat a lot, and thirst faster.

There is a small river near the battlefield, but under the interception of the enemy's superior cavalry, the soldiers who went to fetch water on their own are afraid that they would go but never return. At that time, the soldiers who were so thirsty that they were about to smoke their throats would collapse.

Thinking of this, Li Jing felt a little chill behind him. Although he was not at a disadvantage when talking about military tactics with his uncle, he had never experienced actual combat after all, so he fell into a misunderstanding of thinking:
Chapter completed!
