Ten thousand horses are galloping The earth shakes and the mountains shake The two armies were separated by miles, but in an instant, they had come much closer.
The Sixth Guards Army was changing formations in an orderly manner.
It has been rehearsed a long time ago, and under the orders of the non-commissioned officers, one by one the hollow circle formations are taking shape.
In fact, this formation is the simplest to line up, and the Guards also use the formation of battalions, companies and platoons, each company forms a hollow small formation, and then it just keeps lining up like this.
The 80,000 Tang Army infantry seemed to have suddenly broken into pieces.
One by one, one by one, one by one, not far from each other, not close to each other, and there are gaps everywhere in between.
It seems to be loose, but these gaps are a trap for killing, and they are also the most dangerous killing moves of the Hollow Array.
A half-man-tall shield stood on the outermost layer, followed by two rows of spearmen.
Behind were musketeers, crossbowmen.
Each soldier also carried a satchel with a grenade inside.
Wings.
The cavalry formed phalanxes to guard the artillery and crossbow positions.
Su Dingfang's handsome flag moved to the back, on a wooden tower, and Su Dingfang stood on it and looked into the distance.
Standing here, the entire battlefield is clear at a glance.
Behind him is the standard-bearer, who can send his orders in flags, and there are quite a few towers around him, and the standard-bearers on them will relay orders, so that all the Tang troops can see the flags in time.
In fact, there is no need for any orders, just wait for Hu Qi to rush over, and then fight.
Hu rode in like a tide, forming a black frenzy.
When the Hu people are the most fierce, it is always when there is no battle, and then when they are chasing the remnants of the enemy.
At this time, they are indeed like fierce wolves.
The artillery positions on the left flank were the first to attack.
There is also a reason why Su Dingfang has been waiting here for Hu Qi to attack first.
He had already planned to use a hollow array to deal with the Hu people, so the position and formation had already been prepared and rehearsed, and even the positions of the artillery were preset.
The range of the artillery attack was mapped and marked with something like a pile of stones, or white ash.
The gunners had already calculated the angle of fire for the attack and other data.
As soon as the Hu people rushed over, they didn't have to rush at all, which mark was how many steps away, what angle the cannon should have, and how much medicine it contained, all of which had already been calculated and written there, as long as the non-commissioned officers followed these commands.
The farthest pile of rocks looks very ordinary.
But it is also a mark of the artillerymen.
Crossing this pile of rocks means that the enemy cavalry is already in range.
The artillery had already been loaded, and the angle was set, and the target was chosen to be the location of the stone pile.
Hu Qi roared past, and soon drowned the pile of stones.
"Open the gun" With a loud roar, the gunner quickly ignited.
The muzzle of the cannon flashed, followed by a loud bang like thunder.
The cast-iron barrel jumped, and the iron ball whistled out.
The dense cavalry group is simply a good target that the gunners can encounter but cannot obtain, and any gunner who sees such a dense enemy cavalry charge will not help but want to fire two cannons.
The shells were a little offset from the set target, but it didn't matter anymore.
There are people everywhere, as long as the general direction is good, no matter how you shoot, you can kill and injure.
The lead bullet falls, smashes up a cloud of dust, bounces up, falls, bounces up again, and when the remaining strength weakens, it becomes a forward roll.
In this short moment of falling and bounce and rolling, more than a dozen casualties have been caused, and there is chaos.
The first shot had such a good effect, and the artillerymen did not care about the smoke on their faces and stepped up their reloading.
Other artillery pieces have already begun to be fired.
One after another, one cannonball after another.
Even if the Tang Army is not yet capable of making flowering bullets, the lethality of this solid iron bullet is still amazing.
Especially this huge noise and terrifying range, all of a sudden, suppressed the aura of the Hu people.
Take the lead The two artillery arrays on the left and right flanks, large cannons, small cannons, heavy crossbows, and all long-range weapons, all fired at the charging Hu cavalry in front of the flank.
The crossfire formed by the two positions, the Hu riders who hit the horses turned over on their backs, and the ghosts cried and howled.

The momentum of their charge also weakened a lot, and their formation dispersed a lot.
The Hollow Array infantry, who were originally quite nervous, were shocked and proud when they looked at the amazing scene in front of them, and then they were also much more relaxed, and they also became disdainful of the overwhelming momentum that seemed to be about to trample on everything before Hu Qi.
One Han arrived at five horses.
One shot can make Hu Qi fearful.
Rushed through the artillery fire, rushed through the smoke of gunpowder, and finally rushed to the front of the Han people.
Then they found that the formation of these enemy infantry was strange, not the kind of iron wall that was neatly arranged, nor was it a dense infantry group.
They are all circular formations, and there are not many people in each formation, and the middle is still empty.
Could it be that the Tang army is short of people Such a small array of people, it will break as soon as you rush The horses galloped and approached.
The enemy formation is in front of you.
The Turks on horseback were armed with bows and arrows, but they returned fire with more arrows.
Before he could get closer, he had already fallen from his horse with several arrows.
His mount was still rushing forward, and without its owner, it was running faster.
No one shot the horse, it managed to get closer.
Then, it rushed into the gap between the hollow arrays.
The war horse behind followed it closely and rushed in with its master.
Instinct drove the horses to rush into those gaps, and the horses did not crash into the hollow arrays full of shields and spears.
"Rushed into enemy lines" A Tiele cavalryman had some surprise in his mind, and he rushed into the enemy formation like this, so the Tang army was not finished As soon as the corners of his mouth showed an excited smile, the arrows from the hollow arrays on both sides shot him down.
War horses are like a tide, and there are no gaps.
Then, the knights were combed like a comb, and people kept falling.
Rushing through a formation, there is another formation in front of it, and between these formations, there are passages in all directions.
But every passage is a passage of death.
Arrows, crossbow nails, muskets, and lead bullets were fired at them from all sides, as well as spears and grenades.
Some of the Hu cavalry discovered that this was a death trap, and they rushed forward in no hurry and began to attack the phalanx.
Spear stabs, sabre slashes, bow and arrow shooting.
But they found that they always hit the crowd with less.
Although the gaps between those circles extend in all directions, they are not very large, and they cannot accommodate too many people together.
They stopped, and had to withstand the attack of at least two or more circles nearby.
The circle is hard, like a hedgehog.
The shields were very high, the spears were sharp, and they could not rush in, but they had to strike the crowd with less, and the crossbowmen and musketeers of the Tang people could lie in them and shoot at them without any worries.
"These nonsense people always don't teach a long lesson."
Su Dingfang put down the clairvoyant mirror and commented disdainfully.
Looking at it from a distance, Hu Qi flooded into the big array like a tide, and one-third of the big array seemed to be submerged, but Su Dingfang was not in a hurry at all, and he smiled very happily.
The deeper this large array goes, the greater the blow to the enemy, and the heavier the casualties will be.
If you want to be attacked, if you retreat, you will also be attacked, and even this is still a maze, there are gaps everywhere, and everywhere there are the same circular formations, the same Tang army.
Here, they can't even tell the direction.
The Goguryeo people were the first to suffer this loss, and later the Turks suffered the loss of this array, and now the Tiele people and the Khitan people have once again suffered a big loss under this array.
"They're lonely after all."
The staff officers said with a smile.
"The Hu people in the back don't know what's going on in front yet, they think they've broken through our military formation and are desperately trying to keep up."
A staff officer pointed ahead.
"The artillerymen have made great contributions, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and it has also blocked the sight of many Hu people."
Su Lie wasn't worried at all that the big array wouldn't be able to withstand it.
What about 80,000 infantry, that's a huge position.
Hu cavalry rushed in, he would be absorbed, counter-surrounded, and slaughtered.
Even if they break through, they are not afraid, there is a rear army composed of tens of thousands of noble soldiers behind them, and he even has a reserve.

There were also 40,000 light and heavy cavalry on both flanks.
At critical times, as soon as this cavalry is put into battle, it can achieve a decisive advantage.
First use the infantry to consume the strength of the Hu cavalry, consume their physical strength, and consume their will.
When they were exhausted and even wanted to escape, Su Dingfang's cavalry could give them a fatal blow.
This is the perfect infantry and cavalry to work together.
Today's battlefield is also the most perfect trap.
"Marshal, this battle will definitely become a classic example of the martial arts hall, and in the future, all the students of the martial arts hall will definitely learn this battle."
It's going to be a classic battle.
Su Dingfang laughed.
"You said that the Qibi and Hui tribes led by Brother Qibi and Tumidu will not turn against the battlefield today."
The two men have been hesitant and unwilling to take a stand.
Su Dingfang didn't bother to contact the two of them later, if the two of them were smart today, they should have turned against each other on the battlefield, so that they could not atone for their crimes.
If the two of them can't even do this, then they don't have the capital to live.
He Su Dingfang wouldn't mind killing them together.
"After this battle, Mobei can be stable for ten years."
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him, how can you let them go, of course, take the opportunity to go on a northern expedition, and then sweep Mobei.
At that time, Mobei will be divided into the heroes and soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and Mobei will be the land of the Tang Dynasty and will always be the land of China.
Several young staff officers who had graduated from the martial arts hall were impassioned.
Most of the people who can enter the martial arts hall are the children of the generals, especially the staff officers, who basically graduated from the command department.
The command department is not the same as the technical department, and the officers of the technical department generally do not serve as the chief officer of the army.
However, all the officers in the command department are commanding officers and staff officers at all levels.
"The Khitan and Xi should be conquered first, and these places should be classified as directly under the imperial court.
Xi Qi is close to the border of the imperial court, and these two departments must be conquered first, so that the imperial court can have no worries about the Northern Expedition Xue Yantuo and Murwei and other departments.
"There were young staff officers who expressed a different opinion.
Su Dingfang smiled and they argued.
In fact, whether it is Xi Qi or Tiele Murowei, etc., since they dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and rebel against the imperial court, then the imperial court will inevitably have to clean up one that will not let go.
As for whether to Xi Qi or Tie Le, this is just a matter of order. t1706231537:
