Chapter 1013 Prince's arrogance(1/2)
"No, the damn Xianbei people are going to run away!"
Chengqian was happy when he saw the Tuyuhun people rushing out, and then frowned and soon noticed something was wrong.
"You can't let them run away! Cheng Qian shouted loudly.
Xi Junmai rode his horse and ran, "Your Highness, the Tuyuhun people are going to run away."
"I can't let them run away!" Cheng Qian shouted. But Xi Junmai, wearing a very simple and bright armor, said something else, "Your Highness, it seems Murong Chenggou is desperate to jump over the wall." The vanguard general sat down today and immediately carried a ferocious and ferocious sword. The blade was sharp.
"Don't chase the enemy, don't stop the return troops. The Tuyuhun people are eager to jump over the wall and want to escape. We must prevent the fish from breaking the dead. I suggest not to block it. It is better to let go of a small hole and let them run away."
He proposed the method of hunting, which is generally called surrounding three quarts and one tactically. It deliberately encircles three sides and only leaves one side. This can further disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit and aggravate the enemy's panic. When morale falls, they will fight to escape, and they will no longer have fighting spirit.
Because there was only one opening, everyone wanted to escape first, but they were afraid of being blocked inside, so they just wanted to escape without fighting, and they might even kill each other because of fighting for the road, and trampling on each other.
Not to mention, surrounding three ques and one is not the final killing move.
The three sieges and ones will inevitably be ambushed halfway and chased the ones connected to the ones. When the enemy fled in panic, they will break through the siege without organization and array, and suddenly broke out from the army halfway, and they will not stop them. They will just chased the ones, just like hunting and driving them when hunting.
Intensify the panic of the enemy and further make them lose their organization and lineup. This is a very powerful combination tactic, which can often make the enemy defeat a thousand days.
Although the dragon-patterned black painted iron horse spear in Chengqian's hand is worth a thousand gold, it looks too delicate compared to the extremely ferocious and larger Mo sword in Xi Junmai's hand.
Xi Junmai was carrying a modao as relaxed as carrying an ordinary horizontal knife.
But Chengqian shook the horse spear in his hand, "What you said makes sense, but today I will never let Murong Cheng escape from me!"
"Send the order to block the valley entrance, and no one can rush through our formation unless we step on our bodies!"
"Your Highness!"
Xi Junmai held the Mo Dao a little anxious, "If the thief is determined to escape, we will stop him with all our might, and he will only be defeated by the death!"
"No, the net of the sky is sparse and not leaking. Don't even think of running a fish, let alone break through the net of the net."
He pointed his horse spear forward, "If anyone dares to let the thief run away, I will punish him. If anyone can capture and kill Murong Cheng, I will reward him with a thousand taels of gold, give him five rewards, give him a marquis, and be given a third-level official position! If you meet King Xuan, you will not be killed and live......"
He looked at Xi Junmai, "Don't tell Gu any pros and cons. Gu is going to wipe out all of them today and not let anyone go. Xi Junmai, it's time to show your ability. Gu and you will be able to lead a battalion and guard each one. If anyone can't defend his own line, then who will ask!"
The Gobi River in the east of Huangshui River is very wide, but not only a few miles wide. There are rolling mountains on both sides. They could not attack the valley behind the Tuyuhun army. Now, if the Tuyuhun people want to break through, they still have to break through the line of defense of the Tang cavalry.
Although the valley entrance here is larger, there are still some terrain obstacles.
Chengqian didn't want to let go. Although he would let go, he would surround three quarries and one quarry and chase them ten miles away, and would definitely kill Tuyuhun's more than 100,000 troops and horses, and defeat the entire army, but Murong Cheng would definitely take the opportunity to escape.
This is his goal. The big fish he likes will be taken down by himself, and then taken to Luoyang, and offered to the captives, and sent to the Taimiao to worship the martyrs' ancestors.
"Don't let go of the Lone!"
Xi Junmai advised him a few more words, but Cheng Qian turned his eyes and pointed his horse spear at Xi Junmai directly, "If you say more, you will be punished by resisting orders and shaking the morale of the army!"
"Go back to your formation!"
Five battalions had 10,000 cavalry, and after a day of fighting, there were only a few hundred casualties at this time, but they were still in the spirit of the people and the morale was high.
Under Chengqian's command, more than 9,000 people were arranged in an array, and the fifth camp formed a geese-wing formation.
Chengqian personally led the Central Military Camp and asked the flag bearer to plant his big flag in the snow. He rode his horse and held his spear and roared in front of the formation, "The flag is there, the flag is there, the flag is there, and the thieves are not allowed to retreat, and the thieves are not allowed to run away!"
"I am alone under this banner and I will never retreat."
"Brothers, you can capture Tuyuhun's fake Khan alive, make achievements, win a wife and a son, and get promoted and make money, right in front of you!"
"Don't retreat!"
The prince rode on his horse and shouted back and forth in front of the formation.
The soldiers were also extremely excited by the prince's heroic words. They all beat their weapons, and the shield armor and others shouted in unison, shouting.
"I am with you, and I swear to guard this line of defense to the death, the three-Chen Banner of Sun, Moon, Stars, and never let any Tuyuhun thieves approach it, and they are not allowed to touch and defile it!"
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories!"
Cheng Qian clenched his fists hard and hit his breastplate protective circle hard, making a loud noise.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Long live!"
Countless cavalrymen followed and yelled, and soon someone shouted the slogan of long live the prince again.
Morale is as grand.
Chengqian rode a horse in front of the formation and encouraged the soldiers over and over again. There were less than two thousand cavalry in his central military camp, and there were two battalions on both sides.
There are less than ten thousand cavalry in total, but opposite them, there will be more than 100,000 Tuyuhun people who are eager to jump over the wall.
But Cheng Qian's blood was boiling and he was not afraid at all.
Several consecutive victories made him look down on these cowardly Tuyuhun people at all, especially Murong Cheng.
He had sufficient confidence, believing that only one thousand cavalry could block these more than one hundred thousand people in this valley, and prevent a soldier from escaping.
Two mountains and a valley are not wide, but they are not narrow. It is difficult for only 10,000 people to defend for a width of several miles. Moreover, they do not have any fortifications at all, so this battle must be head-on.
If Hou Junji's 50,000 infantry arrived, even if only 20,000 came, he would not have to worry at all.
When Cheng Qian thought of Hou Junji, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This guy is very good at flattering. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, he was so useless. He still didn't even know where the person was.
The Gobi River Beach covered with snow is covered with gravel, which is very flat and open, with a good view, so the cavalry is okay in combat.
Listening to the sound of the war drums, Cheng Qian's heart beat violently with rhythm.
Cheng Qian, who was under several layers of armor, had already experienced life and death on the battlefield and had adapted to it.
He saw Xi Junmai riding horses back and forth in front of his formation, shouting loudly, waving the large Mo Dao very conspicuously, and also saw Gao Kan, Liang Jianfang, and Gao Zhensheng three generals also shouting in front of his formation in the distance.
With military flags standing in front of the formation, all the Tang cavalry had already boarded the horse.
The prince wants to fight, and the generals can only fight to the end.
Faced with the intentional temptation of the Tuyuhun cavalry, they ignored it. Murong Cheng also wanted to send someone to lure the Tang cavalry to attack and give up the valley entrance so that he could escape.
But all these intentions have long been discovered.

Pure cavalry interception does not have much advantage, so the Tang cavalry's combat plan is simple and rough.
Each cavalry with less than two thousand will be in a regiment of 200 people and a team of fifty people.
Two teams of hundreds of cavalry and one brigade form a combat brigade, and then the two brigades form a combat regiment. Each of the five generals has ten regiments, three combat regiments form a triangular cavalry formation, nine regiments form a large triangular formation, and then the five generals each lead the remaining regiment that is not satisfied as a reserve regiment.
This formation is purely an offensive formation.
Take offense instead of defense.
From Chengqian to Xi Junmai, they all planned to use charge and attack to crush the Tuyuhun people who were trying to break through. If it wasn't enough at one time, they would do it a few more times. As long as they dared to leave the valley, they would charge and attack over and over again until they were completely crushed.
This is a bold and even arrogant combat plan. From Chengqian to Xi Junmai and Gaokan, to the lieutenant, brigade commander, team leader, fire chief, flag bearer, and even every cavalryman, all revealed this crazy look.
Look down on the world and look down on the unparalleled.
They also have this arrogant capital. They are the strongest warriors today, the elite cavalry of the Longyou Army formed by the elite soldiers of the Guanlong Old Mansion. They were formed by the Heavenly King Qin Sanlang, and led them to win one victory after another and make one merit after another.
Each of them recorded their merits in beheading the enemy and capturing the thief.
Even their war horses and their equipment are the strongest in this era.
In this attack, they also proved themselves again, following the prince's 5,000 to 100,000 and 20,000 to 20,000, and yesterday they fought a battle loss ratio of more than 10.
They were wearing bright iron armor, and the officers even had chain mail in it. Their war horses were trained for a long time, tall and mighty, and their horse lances and mobs were extremely sharp. In addition to the main weapon, they also had secondary weapons, melee blunt weapons, angular bows, riding crossbows, etc. The complete set of equipment on each cavalry was piled up with countless money.
And their abilities are more suitable for these elite equipment.
"Come one to kill one, two to kill one!"
The Guanlong Jingqins were not nervous at all, and were even full of expectations. They could still joke while waiting, shake their weapons and pull the strings.
They have fought with these Tuyuhun people many times. After this fight, they have long discovered that these people are not the tough Tuyuhun they used to fight with Duke Wei a few years ago. Now these Tuyuhun people are far inferior in terms of personnel quality and equipment level, especially their fighting will be much worse.
Most of them are old and weak herdsmen. Even if they are called cavalry on horseback, they actually don’t even have decent iron armor. They wear cowhide armor or simply sheepskin robes, and some are covered with cow felt, which is not even suitable for the iron helmet.
Their bows and arrows are even generally made of arrows made of animal bone grinding, which are far inferior to the Tang army's fine iron arrows.
And their spears, swords and axes are also quite poor.
After several battles, they found that these people would not fight any. They were just a group of mob herders, and a group of herders who were most afraid of the Tang army.
How could Cheng Qian be afraid of such a ridiculous army led by a guy with a problem-problem and extremely cowardly mind.
He will not let any of them go.
Once they escape, it will be too troublesome to catch up with them again, especially with the wind and snow, and he is unwilling to drink the northwest wind on the shores of Qinghai Lake.
The drums are getting louder and louder.
Although the vanguard of Tuyuhun's vanguard, the Tang cavalry was unmoved. Their feint attack and lure the enemy failed, and Murong Cheng's khan flag finally moved to the edge of the golden flag of King Xuan in front of the formation.
Murong Cheng seemed to understand Prince Tang's plan, and was not going to let them go, so he was about to give it a try.
With the fierce sound of war drums, the Tuyuhun people simply launched a full-army assault, as if they wanted to rush past.
Cheng Qian tightened the spear in his hand and then clamped the horse's belly.
