Zhao Ziliang thought that this place was not far from the enemy.
In order to better observe the enemy's formation and movements, he jumped off the horse and climbed up the specially built handsome platform.
Chen Qing, Cen Shen and other generals and officials followed him.
Go to the handsome stage.
The handsome platform is ten feet high, with a top area of about forty square meters.
It is equipped with war drums, horns, drummers and trumpeters.
There are also several messengers, several flag bearers, one flag officer and several observers.
Flags are placed around it.
Zhao Ziliang The handsome flag is placed in the middle, towering into the clouds.
Zhao Ziliang came to the railing in front of the commander's platform and looked into the distance with the telescope on his chest.
He could see very far from a height of ten feet.
The enemy troops ten miles away had already entered the field of view of the telescope.
Although he could not see clearly yet, We can already see the general situation.
Looking at the size of the cavalry, there are indeed about 8,000 cavalry.
However, the formation is scattered and the specific situation cannot be clearly seen.
Putting down the telescope, Zhao Ziliang looked at the surrounding terrain.
At this time, the Tang and Fan coalition forces were in a depression.
The wild grass here was extremely lush and the terrain on both sides was slightly higher.
If he walked out of the depression one mile forward, he ordered: "The cavalry on the left and right wings should march towards The two sides moved to slightly higher ground, the front army came out of the depression to set up positions, and the infantry stood in the depression.
The entire army stopped advancing and waited for the enemy's decisive battle."
As soon as the Tang and Fan coalition forces took up their positions, Lu Li led the powerful troops to four miles in front of the formation.
The marching speed was not fast, but the formation had been adjusted during the march, and the soldiers still had sufficient physical strength.
Zhao Ziliang knew that at this time There will definitely be no advantage in launching an attack, so just keep waiting.
He picked up the telescope to observe the enemy's military formation again.
There were grasslands everywhere and there was no yellow sand in the sky.
Zhao Ziliang clearly observed the enemy's military formation this time.
"Eh?"
Zhao Ziliang discovered something unusual in the opponent's formation.
He had one man and two horses.
He immediately became vigilant.
The formation had eight thousand men, but it was one man and two horses.
Doesn't that mean there were only four thousand riding the other half of the men and horses?
Where have you gone?
Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows, put down the binoculars and looked at his right wing.
On the right wing was the Mulu tribe with 1,500 men.
There were originally 3,000 men and horses, but half of them were lost in the last attack. 1,500 cavalry were too much for the entire army.
Generally speaking, the right wing is too weak.
If the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry detects this situation and Luli wants to divide his troops to attack the flank, he will inevitably choose the right wing, which is weak in Tang army's strength.
If you want to use 4,000 troops to withstand my main force for a full-scale attack, and use the other half of the troops to attack my right wing, aren't you afraid that the front will be unable to withstand it first and be defeated by me?
Unless your front and flanks cooperate tacitly, invest all your troops in front of me, and be defeated by me.
I suddenly attacked my right wing without knowing it, so it was possible to succeed.
But now that I understand your thoughts, how can I still let you succeed?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said to Chen Qing: "Send the order and order a thousand cavalry from the Xuan area to detour from the rear to the right wing.
If an enemy is found coming, there is no need to fight to the death.
They can only fight to hold the opponent back and not let him go."

If the opponent ignores the attack on our right wing, block the opponent's advance at all costs and let him take all the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry with him, just in case."
"Nuo" Chen Qing had a hint of doubt in his expression.
He agreed and then gave an order to a messenger.
After receiving the order, Xuan Yi immediately took the remaining 17 and 1,000 cavalrymen from the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry and quietly left the formation from behind and detoured to the right wing.
Zhao Ziliang was not sure whether the other half of Lu Li's troops would launch a surprise attack from the right wing.
This was the home ground of the Tashi people, and the investigation was completely suppressed by the Tashi scouts.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang had no idea about the intelligence ten miles away.
Since Zhao Ziliang could not detect more information and could not find any further information, he could only make multiple preparations.
So he found Nuer and ordered him to lead the remaining 700 cavalry of the Tang Army to prepare for reinforcements on the left wing or at any time.
Be prepared for the enemy to come from behind.
Lu Li and his men finally arrived two miles in front of the Tang army's formation.
Through the telescope, Zhao Ziliang found that Lu Li was very good at controlling the speed of the army and adjusting its formation.
Although the opponent had not yet gained a firm foothold, he wanted to There was no advantage in launching an attack, and launching an attack first would reveal his intentions, so he did not issue an attack order first.
During the waiting time, the Tang army was also recovering its strength.
The opponent was organizing their formation and quickly established a military formation.
Although the formation was a bit scattered and could not be as neat and tight as the Tang army, it was not bad.
Zhao Ziliang ordered the messenger: "Tell the front army to transfer the Khan.
If this general orders an attack, his front army's thousand troops will quickly divide into two teams to outflank the enemy's two wings.
Our army's left and right flanks will include Hu Luju's troops and the photographers."
The Sheti tribe and the Moulu tribe will immediately go to reinforce him, and they must sandwich the enemy army in the middle."
"promise" After receiving Zhao Ziliang's military order, the transfer Khan was a little confused.
If Zhao Ziliang's deployment was followed and his front army moved to the two wings to outflank the enemy's two wings, facing the enemy's menacing attack, it would be the three thousand Tang army infantry in the middle.
These three thousand infantry can hold back eight enemy troops.
An attack by a thousand cavalry forces.
Even if the enemy army has to send part of its troops to the left and right wings to reach our army and outflank it from the two wings, the enemy cavalry rushing over cannot be stopped by just three thousand infantry.
If the Chinese army is defeated, even if the two wings are captured Wouldn't it be in vain to make progress?
Despite doubts, the transferred Khan decided to follow Zhao Ziliang's military order, and executing this military order would greatly reduce his troop losses.
His men would not have to directly face the enemy's attack, and casualties would naturally be minimized.
After the two sides faced off for an hour, Lu Li lost his composure at first.
His military formation was facing the southeast.
The sun had already risen at this time.
Even though the July sun had just risen, it still shone on people's faces.
It was hot, and the sun's rays just hit him head-on.
The military formation, while the Tang and Fan coalition forces are facing the northwest, with their backs to the sun.
Almost no impact, as long as it is noon, the longer the time goes on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the Taoist troops.
Now there are several armies in this era.
Can I keep my posture unchanged and stand all morning?
Luli was not a fool.
In order not to put himself at a disadvantage in the situation, he decided to launch an attack immediately.
He did not understand military formations and directly launched his troops to launch a full-scale attack.
The barbarian horn soldiers dragged their long horns and blew a desolate sound. , this is the attack command.
When the centurions of each faction heard this voice, they immediately raised their weapons and pointed at the Tang-Fan coalition army formation, and galvanized their horses to rush forward first.
The barbarians behind them also rode in and maintained formation to follow the centurions.
Rush forward.
The weapons of the powerful cavalry are various, including spears, iron spears, maces, large axes, iron rods, etc.

Although the barbarian soldiers all have heavy weapons or long weapons, Unified and standardized, coupled with the lack of unified and strict training, the Taoist troops have always been able to graze in the area around the Xuanchi in the southwest of Jinshan Mountain, unable to grow up.
At that time, the Western Turkic Kingdom not only divided the army into branches, but also unified the weapons and equipment to form a standard, and also had unified arrangements for the training of the army, which was far beyond the comparison of these small tribes.
Zhao Ziliang, who was standing on the commander's platform, immediately discovered that the enemy had launched a full-scale attack and immediately ordered: "Beat the drum and order the front army to attack."
Marching Sima Chen Qing nodded and gave orders to the drummers.
The fist-sized drum hammers struck the cowhide drums with a deafening sound.
The sound of the drums was extremely penetrating and had a long transmission distance.
The soldiers listened.
The sound of the drums filled my heart with blood and fighting spirit.
The Khan immediately raised his gleaming mace and shouted: "My sons, follow me to kill."
"Kill" As the transfer Khan rushed out with his mace, a thousand Horusi cavalry behind him also rushed towards the oncoming enemy with their weapons.
The tactic of splitting the army into two and outflanking the enemy's left and right wings during the charge was not unfamiliar to the Khan.
However, his men had never practiced this tactic.
It was very difficult to complete this tactic perfectly.
Not that big.
After rushing out for a certain distance, he raised his mace and issued an order.
Fortunately, he had discussed it with his ten centurions before and made preparations.
If it was a temporary division of troops, I'm afraid the soldiers in the back row would not be able to do anything at all.
Not sure about the situation.
Just when He Luoshi's troops were about to complete the strategy of splitting into two, Zhao Ziliang issued a second military order, ordering the left and right wings to rush forward to support the two troops of He Luoshi's troops.
The soldiers and horses of the Shesheti and Huluju tribes on the left wing and the Mouluo tribe on the right wing moved after receiving the military order.
However, at this time, the soldiers in the rear of the Horoshi tribe had not yet completed the final division.
A section of the tail was about 200 men.
Many men and horses were hit by the front of the oncoming enemy army, and were immediately knocked to pieces.
Although the loss of 200 men by Horoshi's tribe, which only had 1,000 men, felt like a huge loss, at least they had finished.
This tactic began to encircle the enemy's left and right flanks.
At this time, Luli was leading the team to rush to the front.
He discovered that the front of the Tang army was outflanking his left and right wings.
He became anxious at that time.
It was too late to issue an order at this time.
He was on the battlefield and took the lead, so he ordered There is no way to pass it on, so I can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
After smashing the tail of Horoshi's troops, Luli found that the front was empty.
He and his army seemed to have suddenly lost their enemies and had no opponents to attack.
However, there was a dense mass of infantry not far ahead.
Uh, why would any infantry want to resist my cavalry with infantry?
Lu Li was very angry.
Tang Jun looked down on people too much.
No matter how weak my cavalry is, it is definitely not something that your mere infantry can resist.
He immediately waved his hand.
The bloody mace continues without stopping He continued to rush towards the Tang Army's infantry phalanx on the opposite side.
Although the formation of the strong troops behind him was already somewhat scattered at this time, when the shape of the military formation could still be seen, the formation of a spearhead formed with him as the sharp point had changed.
Got to be a little blurry and deformed
