Zhao Ziliang saw the troops in front of him sliding into the pierced ice like dumplings.
A smile appeared on his face.
He said to Chu Ge beside him: "Send the order to slow down and stop the army, and then get on the ice."
Arrange in three square formations on the left, center and right, and notify the baggage team to catch up quickly."
At this time, the two armies finally met face to face.
Both Zhao Ziliang and Dumodu immediately ordered the army to form a formation instead of letting the soldiers go ashore.
In this case, even if the enemy on the opposite side is discovered, as a leading general, the first reaction is not to immediately lead troops to attack the enemy, but to control the troops.
After all, both sides encountered a sudden encounter and neither side was mentally prepared.
Rushing to attack can only make one's own side passive.
Only by controlling the troops well can one cope with emergencies.
At this point, both Zhao Ziliang and Dumodu did a good job.
However, Zhao Ziliang was obviously much better than Dumodu in arranging troops and dispatching generals.
Although Dumodu came first and rectified the army, while Zhao Ziliang came later with his troops, Zhao Ziliang commanded the army to be deployed.
The formation time is much shorter than Dumodu, and it is much more efficient.
After Zhao Ziliang ordered the army to line up in three side-by-side square formations, he did not take action immediately.
Instead, he asked the army to stand by.
This surprised Dumodu, who was very anxious.
Now the Tuqi Shi army has not yet completed the formation, and the entire team Messy Oops, but Dumodu can't control that much anymore.
He just hopes that the later Zhao Ziliang orders the attack, the better, because the longer the time is delayed, his Tuqi Shi army will be in good formation, and then the Tang army will The opportunity to attack was lost.
However, Zhao Ziliang did not move, which puzzled Du Modu.
Logically speaking, the general of the Tang Army would not let go of such a good opportunity to strike first.
Why would this happen unless the general of the Tang Army was an idiot.
Just when Du Modu was guessing Zhao Ziliang's intention, the baggage team that Zhao Ziliang was waiting for finally arrived.
Zheng San rode his horse and ran over to report to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the baggage team has arrived."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Order the baggage team to immediately push the Fuyuan Crossbow and the Arm Zhang Crossbow from the middle of the queue to the front of the army to stand by."
"Nuo" Zheng San agreed, and immediately ordered the flag bearers around him to play the flag.
Seeing the flag, the soldiers in the baggage team pushed the carts carrying Fuyuan crossbows and arm Zhang crossbows through the gaps between the soldiers in front.
Push it over and pile it all the way to the front.
There was less than a hundred meters between the two armies, and there was a pierced ice belt in the middle.
At this time, the bodies of many Tuqishi soldiers who had fallen into the water were already floating on the river.
The two armies were confronting each other.
The Tuqishi people had already arranged their formation.
Dumodu was about to order them to be divided into two parts to go ashore and attack the Tang army from the left and right sides respectively.
But at this time, the Tang army had already made a move and Zhao Ziliang shouted: " The whole army obeys the order and is ready to shoot with bows and arrows at a range of 150 steps."
Regardless of the type of soldier, almost everyone in the Tang Army had a bow and a pot of arrows.
Even the swordsmen, baggage soldiers, and grain transport soldiers had bows and arrows.
Under Zhao Ziliang's order, all the soldiers of the Tang Army took out their bows and arrows, and pointed them at the front of the sudden cavalry army.
"shoot arrows" "Swish swish" "shoot arrows" "Swish swish" "shoot arrows" "Swish swish" Under the command of Zhao Ziliang, the soldiers of the Tang Army fired arrows three times in succession.
When the third wave of arrows was shot out, the first wave of arrows finally landed on the head of Tu Qi Shiren, and screams were heard one after another.
Shi's people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground one by one.
Shi's soldiers suddenly rode on They have no shields and can only be shot passively.
Those who are strong and agile can use weapons to knock off the arrows, but those who are slow to react can only be shot and cannot hide.
The arrows are falling, and you can dodge this one but not that one.
The Tang army had a small number of people and few arrows, but they could not hold off the Tuqishi people because they had many people and many targets, so the hit rate was very high.
In the first wave of arrows alone, the Tuqishi people lost more than 200 people, although these people were not Not everyone died immediately after being hit by an arrow, but at least most died fighting.

The large number of screams in the formation made the other soldiers of Tuqishi start to fear and their military morale began to waver.
Dumodu was also in a panic.
The ice in front was cut through.
If the army wanted to rush over, they had to go around to the shore and then rush over.
But it was too time-consuming, and his men were much larger than the Tang army under Zhao Ziliang.
He immediately shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic.
The Tang army is small and our army is large.
All listen to my orders.
Everyone with bows and arrows is ready to fight back and fire arrows."
"Swish swish" With a large number of people, the effect of firing arrows is indeed different.
With more than 2,000 people firing arrows together, the whistling sound of the arrows was much louder than when the Tang army fired arrows just now.
Zhao Ziliang saw the Tuqi Shiren counterattacking with bows and arrows, and immediately ordered: "Sword, shield, hand and shield, prepare to cover."
"Ding ding ding" The rain of arrows was blocked by round shields, but a few soldiers of the Tang Army were still hit by arrows.
Some died on the spot, while some were slightly injured without being shot in their vital organs.
At the same time, the Tang army and the Tuqishi army started shooting at each other with bows and arrows.
Dumodu took this opportunity to retreat to the rear of the army, and began to dispatch two groups of Tuqishi troops to approach the river bank, preparing to outflank the two wings of the Tang army after landing ashore.
Of course, this situation was quickly discovered by Zhao Ziliang.
He immediately made a gesture and ordered Chu Ge: "Send an order to Wei Meng and order him to lead his troops to attack from both sides."
"promise" After waving the flag for a while for two days, a large number of Tang Army soldiers suddenly emerged from the withered grass not far from both sides of the river bank.
These Tang Army soldiers lined up in neat lines and ran to the river bank to release the Tuqishi troops approaching the river bank. arrow.
This situation shocked Du Modu, "How could this happen?
Why did the Tang Army set up an ambush here in advance?
Our whereabouts must have been exposed, otherwise how could the Tang Army set up an ambush here?
Quickly, ordered the left and right sides to quickly rush to the river bank." , kill the Tang army.
Fortunately, the Tang army is not large in number, otherwise our bones would be buried here today."
Zhao Ziliang saw that after being flanked on both wings, Tuqishi's army not only was not suppressed and retreated, but instead charged harder and more fiercely.
He knew that Tuqishi's troops were aware of the danger, so they wanted to break through the flanking attack at all costs. , he immediately said to Chu Ge: "Give orders to the baggage camp, prepare the Fuyuan Crossbow and Arm Zhang Crossbow, immediately provide long-range strike support to the two wings, launch the crossbow arrows as quickly as possible, and be sure to kill and injure the enemy's effective forces as much as possible."
"promise" After the semaphore command was conveyed, the Fuyuan crossbow and arm-opening crossbow operated by the baggage camp began to show their power, shooting out arm-thick crossbow arrows one after another.
According to various literature records, the range of the Fuyuan Crossbow is about three hundred steps, while the range of the arm-arm crossbow is 230 steps.
Some scholars believe that one step in ancient times is equivalent to 15 meters in modern times.
If calculated according to this, the range of the Fuyuan Crossbow It's 450 meters, with a crossbow at arm's length The range of the Fuyuan Crossbow is 345 meters, which seems to be a bit exaggerated.
If calculated according to the modern calculation of one step equivalent to 0.75 meters, the ranges of the Fuyuan Crossbow and the Arm Zhang Crossbow are 225 meters and 1725 meters respectively.
This distance should be achievable. .
The power of the Fuyuan Crossbow and the Arm-Zhang Crossbow is so terrifying.
A single crossbow arrow can often penetrate several human bodies.
At the same time, several people fell to the ground.
The Tuqishi people were frightened by these two terrifying destructive weapons. , one after another dropped their weapons and fled.
Suffering massive casualties from Fuyuan Crossbow and Arm Zhang Crossbow, the morale of Tuqi Shi's army plummeted, and the soldiers scrambled to turn around and flee.
Dumodu killed several people in a row but could not stop the soldiers from running away.
Hearing the chaotic sounds coming from behind, the Tuqishi men and horses who were launching brave charges to both sides turned their heads to check the situation.
When they saw that the Chinese army was showing signs of retreat, these Tuqishi men and horses who were charging towards the shore were immediately killed.
They have the courage to continue charging.
People's hearts are full of flesh.
Previously, everyone was charging fiercely without fear of death.
But now some people are the first to escape, and others immediately lose their courage.

How can they still have the courage to continue fighting?
When Dumodu saw this situation, he felt as if he were mourning for his heir.
He only said: "It's over, it's over, it's over."
When the general saw this, he shouted: "Sir, the defeat has been decided, we'd better run away for our lives.
Come on, hurry up and carry your master on your back
