The war is coming, and the storm is about to come.

The generals of Tianlang Pass gathered in front of a terrain sand table. Zhao Zhongtian pointed to his camp: "The army can leave Tianlang Mountain first, go to the Tianlang Camp to rest, and then go to the plains to form an array on the day of the decisive battle. This can

Reserve your physical strength as much as possible to face the decisive battle." Everyone nodded, and Nangong Yu also agreed with this plan.

"On the day of war, when fighting in the plains, the cavalry must lead the charge first. Our field cavalry in Liangyou will be divided into three teams. General Xiao will lead the 30,000 side cavalry in Liangzhou as the middle route, and the two left and right cavalry in Youzhou will lead General Han.

General Wang led 70,000 Youzhou cavalry to the left and right, each with 35,000 men." After Nangong Yu finished speaking, he looked at the three people standing aside.

"No!" The three of them bowed and shouted.

General Han of the Youzhou Left Cavalry Army smiled heartily and said: "Everyone says that the Liangzhou Cavalry Army is the main force of the frontier army, and its combat power is unmatched. This time, I, the Youzhou Cavalry Army, will compete with you. Look.

See if I, Youzhou, can also carry this First Cavalry Army hat for a few days, haha." Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall became much more relaxed for a while.

Nangong Yu continued: "Yan Rong has 150,000 people. Subtracting the previous losses, the cavalry is estimated to be around 100,000. After the first wave of confrontation between the two armies, the Liangzhou army quickly advanced and attacked the enemy infantry."

In the square formation, after the Youzhou troops on the left and right wings came out of the formation, they circled around and outflanked the enemy's infantry formation, attacking in three ways, using cavalry to counter the infantry. They are unstoppable and will surely break the formation in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhengye raised his own question: "After we pass the enemy's cavalry, the enemy may have two approaches. The first is to quickly turn around and pursue our army. In this way, our army may be able to exclude the enemy's cavalry and infantry from a pinch attack."

Secondly, they adopted the same approach, regardless of whether the cavalry directly attacked our infantry camp. If our infantry camp was attacked, should our cavalry return to support?" Xiao Zhengye's worries are not unreasonable. Various

Possible situations should be carefully considered. Once engaged in combat, orders may not be conveyed so smoothly, and one careless move could result in the loss of the entire game.

Zhao Zhongtian glanced at Nangong Yu, stood up and added: "I have already discussed this matter with General Nangong. The main task of the cavalry in Liangyou is to annihilate the enemy's infantry formation. There is no need to return reinforcements unless necessary.

Behind the Liangyou Cavalry there will be a second attack line composed of Zuowei Guard Cavalry and Yangzhou Cavalry, a total of 20,000 people, led by me personally. If the Yan Rong Cavalry turns around to pursue, then these 20,000 people will

They will move out to form a pincer attack with you, first cripple their main cavalry, and then clean up the infantry. If they don't turn around to pursue, the 20,000 people will retreat as a reserve force, and we will use 80,000 people.

The main infantry phalanx will meet the enemy first."

After hearing this, everyone was a little confused. The tactics in the front were reasonable, but it was a bit puzzling to use the infantry as the main force to fight in the back. The Yan Rong cavalry was very powerful, so if the infantry was to fight the enemy first, it would definitely cause heavy casualties.

"Haha, don't worry, everyone. The infantry formation will be headed by the Youzhou Heavy Armor Battalion. Behind the heavy armor battalion will be the crossbow battalion, which will kill a large number of enemies with feathers and arrows. Then there will be a square formation formed by all the infantry.

My commanding officer's podium will also be located there." Nangong Yu explained to everyone with a smile. Everyone suddenly realized that the Youzhou Heavy Armor Battalion was a heavy infantry formed to deal with the invasion of nomads. It has strong combat power and huge cost.

It is well-equipped and has a long history of forming an army. However, in recent years, due to repeated shortages of military pay, the weapons and equipment cannot be replenished. The heavy armor battalion has been repeatedly reduced to less than 2,000 people, making it difficult to form an independent army. Now that it is used to fight,

Presumably General Anbei has solved the problem of insufficient equipment.

Nangong Yu looked at a veteran beside him: "General Zhu, how is the replenishment of the heavy armor battalion now?" The veteran's name is Zhu Chengluan, who has been the commander of the heavy armor battalion in Youzhou for more than ten years. He is watching the heavy armor battalion shrink step by step.

, the old man was filled with grief. Now that the heavy armored battalion is about to see the light of day again, the veteran is very happy: "General Nangong, don't worry, our heavy armored battalion now has six thousand troops, complete equipment, and high morale. I don't expect the Yanrong barbarians to break through."

If you open my heavy armor formation, a few of your front teeth will definitely be broken, resulting in heavy losses!"

Nangong Yu nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that when Nangong Yu was in the capital, he knew that to deal with Yan Rong, he not only needed to rely on cavalry, but the Youzhou Heavy Armor Battalion was also a big help, so he specially brought two thousand sets of heavy armor from the capital, and added

In the past few months, the major aristocratic families showed their kindness and generosity, and successively chipped in a lot to send over, which restored the number of the heavy armor battalion to 6,000.

"Do you still have any questions?" Zhao Zhongtian looked at the crowd and asked. Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, everyone, go back and prepare. After reorganizing, we will head to the Tianlang Camp one after another, waiting for the battle to begin. I will say it for the last time. This battle, my 200,000-strong army will come out in full force. I hope that all the soldiers will bravely kill the thieves and defeat the enemy.

A successful battle will show off the power of my Zhou army! Please!" After saying that, Nangong Yu looked solemn and held his hands in front of everyone.

Many generals straightened their backs and shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, general, we will do our best to defeat the enemy!"

Tianlang Pass, which had been silent for a long time in the past two days, suddenly became lively. The streets and alleys in the city were full of elite soldiers ready to go. It was overcrowded for a while, and carriages loaded with supplies kept driving out of Tianlang Pass, heading for Tianlang Pass.

In the big camp, after all, the soldiers and horses had not yet used the food and fodder. Teams of cavalry were galloping back and forth in the city in an endless stream. A sense of oppression of an impending war quietly spread in everyone's hearts, making everyone feel breathless.

Seeing that the army was about to set off, Xue Leihan brought a pot of good wine brought from Qingzhou to practice for the four of them. In the camp, Chen Yue sat at the head, and two beautiful men in white clothes and white robes sat on the left side.

On the right are two burly men, Xue Meng and Xue Tian.

Xue Leihan seemed to be much more relaxed in front of everyone than usual. She no longer had to act like the eldest son of the Xue family, nor did she need to deliberately pretend to be bohemian. She rolled up her sleeves and poured wine for everyone while pouring it.

Said: "This war is unusual. We, the noble family members, will not stir up trouble. Today we will go out to all brothers. I wish you success and military success! Go for it!"

"Do it!" Everyone drank the wine in their glasses boldly.

After everyone chatted for a while, Xue Leihan turned to look at Chu Yucheng beside him and asked: "Brother Chu, in your opinion, what is the chance of winning this decisive battle?" Xue Leihan kept looking at the man in white.

I was very curious. I could tell at a glance that he was a clean person, but he joined the army and hung out with a bunch of slovenly men all day long. Although he was willing to have a close relationship with them and become brothers, if he joined the army, he would spend all day in the army.
