Su Dingfang looked at the students in surprise, then looked at Xia Hongsheng, and couldn't help asking, "Is this ...... How did you come up with these things? ”

"This is General Su Dingfang Su, you will come and see you, and you must answer all your questions." Xia Hongsheng said to the students.

Zhou Zheng (Liu Chao), a student of the second phase of the Datang Royal Military Academy...... Meet General Su! Those students saluted Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang waved his hand: "No need to be polite, Ben will ask you, how did you think of these things?" ”

"This ...... The students are learning in ordinary military schools, but they don't know whether what they say is right or wrong. The students replied.

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "The Tang Royal Military Academy really lives up to its reputation, although you have never been on the battlefield, but you have already analyzed the head of the Tao. Hehe, you haven't been to the battlefield in person, but what you said is very right. However, General Wei Chi arranged the military formation in this way, but he had another plan. ”

"Oh?" Xia Hongsheng realized that this was a good opportunity for the students to broaden their horizons, so he beckoned the surrounding students to come over and asked, "But I don't know what General Wei Chi means?" ”

The surrounding students gathered around, and they all looked at Su Dingfang eagerly.

Su Dingfang looked left and right, simply sat on the ground, and said, "Okay!" Then I'll make an exception and tell you! Sit, sit! ”

"Sit!" Xia Hongsheng gave an order, and those students immediately sat in front of Su Dingfang in a standard sitting position, but the neat appearance made Su Dingfang embarrassed, and he also retracted his legs and sat up according to the appearance of those students.

These words will be heard to you today. You just know it in your heart. But don't dare to say it. If not. Ben will have to eat the general's blame. Su Dingfang said to the group of students: "The most common way for our Datang army in combat is to let the infantry ride in a car, parallel to the cavalry, and the cavalry and the infantry in the car reach the battlefield together. If the enemy army attacks first, our Datang army will attack the opponent with bows and crossbows first, and wait for the enemy to reach the front of the formation. The cavalry gave way and then met the enemy with a sword formation. When the two armies are fighting together, the cavalry that has previously moved out of the way quickly disturbs the enemy's rear from the flank after getting out of the way, so that the infantry can be in front and the cavalry in the rear, and the opponent can be flanked on both lines! If our army takes the initiative to attack, then the cavalry is mainly responsible for disturbing the enemy's rear from the flank, relocating the opponent's main force, and taking advantage of the agility of the cavalry. Lead the main force of the enemy army to run behind the cavalry, and scatter the formation. At this time, the infantry army began to advance in a knife formation, and finally realized the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy! ”

"I see! It turns out that my Datang army has been fighting like this for a long time! Students are still self-righteous here. The student from Fang Cai said embarrassedly.

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where, it is not easy for you to think of these problems if you have never been on the battlefield." The reason why the general placed the cavalry on the periphery was because once the enemy army was encountered, the cavalry could disperse as quickly as possible to the enemy's flank and rear, which just left the opportunity for the infantry in the middle to form a knife formation. As soon as the cavalry is opened, the sword formation has been formed, and it can be advanced. ”

The students nodded again and again, and took the opportunity to ask Su Dingfang this and that, and learned from Su Dingfang's experience in the battlefield.

Xia Hongsheng is very optimistic about the students' curiosity for knowledge, and he will not stop these students. Su Dingfang is also willing to share his experience to show off, so he also has to answer questions.

The army lived and cooked, and after using it, they began to march in a hurry.

Along the way, Su Dingfang was full of praise for these cadets, and believed that if those cadets were put into the army for a few years of training in time, they would definitely have something to do, and all of them would be generals.

Xia Hongsheng and Su Dingfang followed behind Wei Chigong and led the army to march straight to Dingxiang County, trying to arrive as soon as possible, so as not to be trapped in danger of Li Jing's 3,000 cavalry.

"Report! - A loud shout suddenly came from the front, and as soon as Wei Chigong raised his hand, the people behind him immediately stopped.

Seeing a cloud of smoke and dust rising in front of him, a man and a horse rushed over, and as for the front, he immediately reined in his horse and turned down, and knelt down on one knee in front of Wei Chigong, shouting: "Report to the general, I found that there are Turkic cavalry fleeing in front, and they are fleeing in the direction of the moraine. Its formation is messy, like a defeated army! ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Yao really conquered Dingxiang!" This is the Turkic who fled, maybe Jieli is among them! Someone, pass my general's order, leave the baggage and military cadets to protect the baggage and then march, and the other generals will follow the general to pursue Jieli! ”

"Order!" The generals behind Wei Chigong were also in good spirits, shouted a few times, and then led their horses away, and with their respective military formations, they suddenly accelerated their speed and rushed forward.

"Xia Hongsheng!" Wei Chi Gong stopped at Xia Hongsheng's side and explained: "This time it must be Senior Brother Yao who conquered Dingxiang, and now that the Turkic army has fled, it is the time to pursue and kill the enemy. The old man and the other generals went to pursue first and answered Senior Brother Yao. Er led the military academy with 2,000 men and horses to guard the baggage, be sure to protect the baggage thoroughly, and then arrive! ”

"The last general obeys!" Xia Hongsheng clasped his fists and saluted.

Wei Chigong waved his whip and whipped the war horse under his crotch, and the war horse neighed and walked away.

"Brother Xia, the grain and grass are heavy, and the major events in the army are also! Be careful! Su Dingfang passed by Xia Hongsheng's side and said.

"Brother Dingfang, don't worry, just rush to kill the enemy formation and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" Xia Hongsheng also clasped his fists and shouted.

"Borrow the good words of the brothers!" Su Dingfang put the long lance in his hand together, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The Turks are about to flee, rush with me and catch Jieli!" ”

Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang and others rushed forward with the men and horses. Xia Hongsheng saw that piece of dust flying, and his heart was really like a glimpse in history, Li Jing's three thousand elite horsemen raided Dingxiang, and Jieli fled without a fight.

"General Qiyu! Shall we rush forward too?! Xia Hongsheng was thinking about it, when a voice came from behind him, and when he turned his head, it was Li Yexu who rode a horse and ran over.

"Rush to kill a fart, didn't I hear that General Fang Cai ordered me to wait for the guards to carry food and grass, there must be no mistake?!" Xia Hongsheng said angrily to this militant: "In the past, I ordered our people to spread out in all directions with the baggage truck as the center, be on guard at any time, and continue to move forward!" ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, Li Yexu had no choice but to clench his fists and take his life, and turned around to pass Xia Hongsheng's order.

Xia Hongsheng looked back at the front, thought about it, and then turned his head to the two soldiers beside him and said, "You two ride forward to investigate the situation, and come back to report to me what happened in front of you in time." ”

"Order!" The eyes of the two pro-soldiers flashed with excitement, and they seemed to be very excited to return to the battlefield after a long absence. (To be continued.) )
