In Yewang City the next morning, Ma Liang's fever subsided, and he was still able to barely walk despite his weakness.

He had a bandage wrapped around his chest, a loose cloak of fine linen and Tian Yu walking along the city wall, and now he could see the battle flag of the Beifu soldiers in the south.

Unlike in the past, this army approached Yewang step by step, and there was a simple camp every ten miles, and it did not set up the red war chess of the Han army, nor was it the number of Beifu.

The whole military dress is mainly indigo, except for two bright red negative feathers on the back of the horse, the rest of the knights are hung with a long and narrow back flag with blue and black texture on their backs.

The top of all the back flags is headed by the red word 'Tian' as the totem flag, and below the word Tian, it is the number of the unified printing and dyeing accurate to Bairentun.

Tian Yu looked at it for a long time, looking at the queue of knights gradually approaching in the south of the city, and looking at the knights' increasingly clear Tianzi back flag, and his emotions in his heart were somewhat complicated.

Ma Liang also looked at it and sighed dejectedly: "General Guorang, Deng Ai has been in charge of the army for five or six days since the beginning, and he has not exchanged the battle situation with you and me. Judging by the prestige of its army, it is not that it is unable to break through the siege, but it is really unwilling. ”

"Ugh."

Tian Yu put his hands on the women's wall, squinted and sighed: "Yes, this is not the Guanzhong government soldier or the county soldier, but the army of Chen Guo, which is the private soldier of the Tian family." It is understandable not to obey your military orders. If ......"

If it was to forcibly seize the command of this cavalry army that was not a Han army, it would be to rob Tian Xin's personal property.

Look at the dense clusters of knights in sight, which are scattered around the perimeter, with a moving herd of horses in the middle.

Obviously, when retreating, Deng Ai will provide the foot strength to travel.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that the knights everywhere are clustered and the horses are blue and black, but the ratio of men and horses is one to two, all the knights are riding horses, and the horses around them are just moving lightly.

And behind the herd of horses that were driven in the middle, there was also an array of heavily armored knights standing still...... Unless the main force of the Six Towns of Youyun under Sima Yi arrives, this heavily armed knight battalion can chisel through any array!

One person and three horses, at least 12,300 war horses are controlled in Deng Ai's hands, so that an unknown general like Deng Ai can command a cavalry cluster of such a scale...... Tian Yu was accustomed to seeing the Zhuhu cavalry, and he was still shocked.

This is still the Han Servant Righteous Subordinate Army outside the Beifu, Xifu, and County Soldiers, and how many batches of cavalry clusters of this scale can be mobilized within the Han Servant Establishment?

At the very least, it would be possible to mobilize a cavalry army of the same size and equipment as this cavalry cluster.

What Deng Ai controlled was the Han slaves east of Chang'an, and the elite members were requisitioned from various departments, plus the ordnance in the arsenal of Tongguan in Beifu, so that this group of Han slaves with their horses became elite equipped with heavy armor and sharp weapons in an instant.

To the west of Chang'an, a batch can also be mobilized and requisitioned in this way.

If the limit mobilizes...... The only thing that limited the size of the cavalry was not manpower, not the number of horses, but the armor accumulated in the arsenal.

Beifu attaches great importance to equipment, and unless the tactical task is special, there is no tradition of driving lightly armed troops to fight.

Therefore, the shortcomings of Deng Ai's cavalry army are also obvious, the soldiers have good physique, high morale as always, and high cohesion...... But the soldiers are not veterans of the Beifu War after all, and the discipline cannot be compared.

Therefore, the cavalry that gradually approached the wild king did not adopt a dense and strict marching column, but broke it into pieces, and used the cavalry of two or three hundred men as a tactical unit.

Like, hunting wolves.

Tian Yu observed nuances and had rich experience, so he immediately judged and summarized that this kind of scattered and scattered small array was the so-called 'plum blossom array' within Beifu.

The outside world doesn't know what the plum blossom array is, and the rumors are miraculous, and now it seems to be a field array that was exercised and summarized during the winter hunt in Guanzhong.

This is a compromise method that is limited by the quality of the soldiers, and has no choice but to do so...... But in the environment of high morale and high combat enthusiasm in Beifu, this is a typical wolf pack.

It's okay to fight with it in a dignified manner, but if you show your defeat, you will immediately stimulate the ferocity of the other side, and pounce like a wolf and a tiger...... It is very likely that it will crush its own fighting spirit in one fell swoop.

But what are his shortcomings?

Tian Yu thought about the solution to the problem, which is very important...... No one knows if they will be able to return to Jiangdu alive, and this kind of 'plum blossom array', which is very suitable for Zhu Hu Yi's characteristics from fighting, has already revealed its true colors.

You can calculate the various formations and combined attacks of the plum blossom array, and find its shortcomings, or the killer moves that you must guard against.

The other surrounding soldiers who were surrounded were not good at cavalry combat, so they could not crack the plum blossom array in a targeted manner; The middle and high-ranking military officials who are far away in Kanto and Jiangdu are good at cavalry combat...... But these people have never seen the true face of the plum blossom array.

When it comes to that point in the future, if you suddenly meet on the battlefield, you will definitely suffer.

Tian Yu had no distractions, concentrating on observing the scattered formations moving everywhere, and analyzing the direct connection and cooperation of each array.

Ma Liang didn't know how to fight on horseback, and it was normal for him to see all this: Deng Ai used a last resort to overcome the shortcomings of Han Yiyi, who was never good at cooperating.

The two of them waited with other soldiers at the head of the city for reinforcements to approach, to see what Deng Ai was going to say and how to break through.

On the edge of the distance, Qin Lang and Cao Zhen were stationed at Mashangang, both of them wearing ordinary iron basin collar armor...... Compared with ordinary military officials, Qin Lang's waist length and leg length are not very harmonious with the Dawan horse under the seat; Cao Zhen was very wide, as if he would tire the horse to death at any time.

The two of them and the surrounding soldiers who came on horseback were watching and scouting the elite cavalry under Deng Ai's command, and they only felt a toothache.

In the whole world, Beifu dared to divide the array so finely on the battlefield.

If the Wei army also engaged in this kind of scattered formation, then under the influence of practical factors such as low combat enthusiasm, fear of death and injury, and the inability of military officials to take the lead in charging or encouraging their subordinates to die together, etc., the offensive efficiency of the Wei army's various scattered formations would be very low.

Only by bringing the armies together to form a fist can they launch an effective attack by hugging each other in front and back.

Otherwise...... One by one, they scattered to the battlefield, just watch these scattered formations act, you can't expect these people to work hard.

Compared with the scattered formation of two or three hundred horsemen, Beifu is more terrifying, and it can be subdivided into a small formation of fifty people on the battlefield.

This is not something that can be achieved by simply cohort training, it requires accumulated cultural enlightenment, as well as rich combat experience, and more importantly...... Reduced battle damage.

It is not easy to cultivate this kind of elite officials, and it is even more difficult to cultivate the trust and cooperation that have been formed between officials over the years.

The Wei army has suffered too much damage over the years, and the excellent team of military officers is insufficient, not to mention the veterans of the war who are skilled in tactical cooperation?

Cao Zhen looked at it at this moment, but he had no intention of taking a closer look, and his mood was complicated: "The enemy army is arrogant, and now it is a move to invite war, and our army should avoid war." ”

Qin Lang was disappointed when he heard this: "General, Duke Zhongqiu was captured by the enemy. ”

Cao Zhen was speechless after hearing this, and then thought for a moment and said: "Don't rush to the battle, the enemy will inevitably retreat after the confluence, and our army will follow behind, waiting for the opportunity to participate in the battle if it is not prepared." However, Yuan Ming, the enemy and the poor cannot be chased, I am afraid that they will ambush each other, and Yuan Ming still needs to be cautious. ”

"Yes, the last general will not dare to be careless."
