After the order was issued, Zhao Ziliang thought carefully and sent people to drive away all the Arabian horses captured last night.
Now it was not a high-speed mobile march, but a cavalry battle.
It was a burden for each person to bring an extra horse, and it was used during the battle.
War horses with a high tacit understanding with oneself are absolutely beneficial to combat.
Although the Arabian horses captured last night are better than the war horses of people like myself, they do not have any tacit understanding, which is detrimental to combat.
After the soldiers gave Ma Fu water and food, they sat on the sand to rest.
Some soldiers also took out dry food and water bags to eat and drink to replenish their own strength.
After Zhao Ziliang entered Central Asia, because he had the status of an envoy, he usually did not wear a poncho, but at this time he was about to fight, and it was not appropriate to wear casual clothes, so he put the poncho on his body with the help of two subordinates, making it black and shiny.
After putting on the armor and helmet, Zhao Ziliang's temperament immediately changed.
The west wind blew the flags rustling, and the white helmet tassels above their heads swayed in the wind.
Although the soldiers sat on the sand to rest and eat, they did not make a sound, and the team remained orderly.
Zhao Ziliang rode his horse Wuli to the front of the military formation and took out a monocular to look ahead.
While observing whether the enemy appeared, he also observed the surrounding distant terrain.
After observing for a while, Zhao Ziliang said to Chu Ge: "No trace of the enemy has been found yet, let's fly the eagle."
"Nuo" Chu Ge agreed and waved to the back.
A soldier rode forward and stretched out his armored arm.
A majestic eagle stood on his arm.
The soldier kept stroking the feathers on the eagle's neck with his hands, then raised his arms and shouted: "Go" The eagle let out a cry, spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Its several-meter-long wings fluttered in the air a few times, and then it rose into the sky, circled in the air and then flew forward.
Only a few minutes later, they saw the eagle flying back.
It kept chirping and circling in the sky.
The soldier raising the eagle looked up at the eagle flying in the sky, listened to its chirping, and then looked at Zhao Ziliang and Chu Ge said: "General, captain, the enemy appeared six miles ahead and advanced towards our army.
The marching speed has slowed down and the troops are organizing their formation as they march."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to Chu Ge: "Send the order, everyone mounts their horses and forms an array to check the condition of armor, helmets, weapons, bows and arrows."
"Nuo" Chu Ge agreed and immediately shouted: "The general has an order.
The enemy is approaching.
Everyone must mount their horses and line up to check the condition of armor, helmets, weapons and bows and arrows."
"Swish, swish, swish" Everyone got on their horses and checked their equipment.
After checking, they controlled the horses and sat on the horses.
Zhao Ziliang picked up the monocular and looked ahead again.
In less than two minutes, the enemy's cavalry finally appeared in the field of vision of the monocular.
This cavalry was trotting towards this side, and a group of cavalry also appeared in the sky.
The smoke and dust of the marching army was due to Zhao Ziliang standing at a high place and using a monocular telescope.
If he was not at a high place and did not have a telescope, he would definitely not be able to see it.
After a few more minutes, the 500 Arab cavalry advanced to two miles in front of the sand dune highland where Zhao Ziliang and others were.
The smoke and dust brought by the march became even greater.
At this time, the leading general of the other side raised his hand and shouted a few words, The five hundred Arab cavalry were seen changing from a trot to a walk, and the originally somewhat scattered formation began to adjust during the walk.
The distance between two miles was not far.
Zhao Ziliang could clearly see the clothing and figure of the opponent's general through the monocular.
Since everyone on the other side had their faces covered, they could not see the opponent's appearance.
The reason why Zhao Ziliang was sure that he was the leading general of these five hundred cavalry was because he was at the front of the team, and there was an army banner behind him, as well as messengers and flag-bearing soldiers with command flags on their backs, as well as close guards.
Zhao Ziliang put away his telescope, rode his horse from the left to the right of the military formation, and shouted while galloping: "Soldiers, we were originally ordered to send envoys to the Zhaowu Kingdom.
Since ancient times, the two countries have been at war without killing each other.
It is customary, but these big cannibals hide their identities and want to strangle us.
Their behavior is worse than that of bandits.

Now these big cannibals disguised as horse bandits are here again.
They have five hundred cavalry. , we only have less than two hundred riders, but I am not afraid, because you are the most powerful warriors of our Tang Dynasty.
Each of you is as good as ten.
Even if there are twice as many of them, we can still defeat them.
Since these big cannibals do not follow the rules. , then let us teach them a lesson, let them see how brave our Datang soldiers are, and let them know that the power of our Datang is inviolable."
"Roar, roar, roar" everyone involuntarily let out a loud roar at the same time.
It is no longer difficult for Zhao Ziliang to boost morale before battle.
He had done this kind of thing every time he held a mobilization meeting in his previous life.
He was very familiar with it.
By the time Zhao Ziliang finished boosting his morale, the Arab team had advanced to about 500 meters ahead.
This was the shortest distance between the two armies.
If it was any closer, if either side had a super-long-range strong bow, they would be hit by a hail of arrows.
Or a crossbow strike.
The Arabs also stopped under the command of Rappler.
The generals on both sides were a little confused when they saw him raising their hands and ordering to stop advancing, but they still carried out the order.
When the whole team stopped, a general rode forward.
Asked: "General, why did you stop?
If the opponent rushes over while we are not on a stable footing, we will suffer a loss."
Rappler shook his head and said: "No, since they have set up their military formation, they have agreed to fight us in an upright and decisive battle.
They will not do such a thing.
You have no idea that their current position and our current position will affect them."
Is it good for us and bad for us?”
The general took a look and said, "Yes, general, they are at a high place, and we are at a low place.
If the enemy and we rush to attack each other, they can use the condescending terrain to rush down with a strong impact, and our army will definitely We cannot resist the general, what should we do now?”
Apple shook his head and said: "Even if they don't rush down, we will suffer a big loss if we just wait for us to rush up.
We can't rush up stupidly.
You lead two hundred people around the sand dunes and attack them from behind.
This general will fall."
To see how their Lord will respond."
"Yes, General" The general immediately ordered two hundred men and horses to go around the sand dune highlands from the left and right sides towards the rear of Zhao Ziliang's military formation, obviously intending to outflank him from behind.
How could Zhao Ziliang not understand what the other party wanted to do?
There were slopes on both sides of the dune highlands, and the sand was easy to slide down.
It was impossible for the Arab cavalry to rush up from both sides.
They could only go around behind, and because Zhao Ziliang's troops were not strong enough.
There were so many troops that it was impossible to divide the troops to deal with the two hundred Arab cavalry that had gone around.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Ziliang quickly made countermeasures.
Apple's division of troops was exactly what he wanted.
If Apple gathered five hundred cavalry to confront him, he would never be able to afford it.
He and his two hundred retinues He was not familiar with the place here and did not know the weather changes in the desert.
It would be very disadvantageous for him to continue the confrontation.
However, in order to reduce the adverse effects caused by the terrain, Apple Su chose to divide his troops, which gave Zhao Ziliang the opportunity to concentrate his superior forces and annihilate one of the opponent's troops.
Moreover, Zhao Ziliang knew that on the way here, the sand dune plateau was more than twenty or thirty miles long.
The two hundred cavalrymen of the opponent's division wanted to To attack from behind, you have to walk back and forth for more than 40 miles.
It is impossible to run back and forth in this desert within two hours.
After two hours, the day lilies will be cold.

"Chu Ge, send someone to notify Bo Han and tell them to hide so that they don't get caught by the cannibals.
Also find someone to monitor the two hundred cannibal cavalry who are separated."
