Chapter 1471: Light and Darkness

Chu Huan's deployment of the formation, naturally, is also exquisite, except for the archers who are deployed in the front, almost all of the people who take the lead behind the archers are the people brought by Chu Huan from Shuoquan.

Although the fortifications were urgently built in the past two days, compared with the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Hezhou, the soldiers from Shuoquan were more sufficient in terms of energy and body.

Although not everyone in the Xiguan army could shoot arrows, the proportion of bows was not small, and all the soldiers who could use bows and arrows were arranged at the front, using wooden fences and earthen walls as barriers to prepare for counterattacks against the incoming enemy.

The soldiers and horses who retreated from Hezhou, although they brought all the materials they should have brought over, but in the bloody battle in Hezhou, a lot of materials have been consumed, in addition to weapons and equipment, there are not many arrows left, and the remaining part is all brought out, so that if a small catapult, it affects the march, and there is no boulder as a shooting weapon, the catapult is a pile of waste, before retreating, Pei Ji has ordered all of them to be destroyed.

Fortunately, after Chu Huan garrisoned the horse farm, he was prepared to focus on defense from the beginning, and in the face of the enemy's cavalry, in addition to building fortifications as a barrier, the best defensive weapon was, of course, bows and arrows, so in the past two days, some people were dispatched to make bows and arrows based on local materials.

Gu Liangchen's cavalry had been waiting for a long time, and after the attack order was issued, they couldn't wait to rush over to this side.

The cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains galloped on horseback, and the ground trembled with battle, looking unstoppable.

More than ten meters away from the outer base, there is a trench, because the time is too urgent, the trench can only pay attention to the width as much as possible, the digging is not deep, and its width is also as far as possible so that the opponent's war horse can not cross lightly.

In the middle of the trench were stakes, combed with sharp wooden thorns, and it was difficult to survive if you fell into them.

Gu Liangchen was in the middle of the charge, suddenly raised his saber, and made a few movements in a row, and saw that the Tianshan cavalry was quickly lined up, a row of about hundreds of horsemen, lined up, followed by a column of soldiers and horses, the first row was still charging, but the degree of the second row of cavalry had been lowered, and the degree of each row of cavalry behind had slowed down, and the degree of slowdown was not the same, but in this way, thousands of cavalry and more than a dozen columns of cavalry, the distance between each column had been opened.

Chu Huan saw clearly on the sentry tower, frowning slightly, although he had heard the name of the Tianshan cavalry, and once felt that the Tianshan cavalry had not been trained, maybe mighty, but maybe worthy of the name, but at this moment, the dispatch of the Tianshan cavalry is extremely unified, with the military order, the Tianshan cavalry can quickly act in accordance with the military order, and when charging, they can line up while charging, and the soldiers can control the degree and open the distance, which is by no means three or five months to be trained.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Tianshan cavalry is not yet known, Chu Huan has to admit that the Tianshan cavalry is indeed well-trained, and the riding skills of individual soldiers are not weak, and the cooperation between companions is also very tacit.

The so-called discipline, although it contains moral discipline, but the most important thing is the discipline of cooperation between soldiers, only strict discipline, soldiers can order up and down, and soldiers can also cooperate with each other, in fact, do not say that in the tense moment of the battlefield, that is, in the usual exercises, so that the soldiers can fight to cooperate with the unity, up and down the order, it is really not an easy thing, not to mention that compared to the infantry, the cavalry also needs to control their own horses, and the difficulty is even more extraordinary.

A well-trained cavalry, if commanded by a warlike general, even if its combat experience is not very sophisticated, but the general's tactical command and the tacit cooperation between the soldiers are enough to make up for this deficiency.

The cavalry that appeared in front of Chu Huan at this time was undoubtedly a well-trained soldier, and just by charging at this moment, Chu Huan knew that the general who commanded this cavalry on the northern flank was indeed a guy who could fight.

The cavalry array separated, widening the distance, and Chu Huan guessed the other party's thoughts in an instant.

If the opposing cavalry is crowded together and there is no distance between the front and rear, then the first row of cavalry may cross the trench with the momentum of the charge, but the cavalry behind does not have enough time to prepare, and once the front companion has an accident, the soldiers behind will definitely be involved by the front companion in a hurry, and they will turn on their backs together.

However, once the distance is opened, after the first row of cavalry crosses the trench, whether it is successful or not, the companions behind will have plenty of time to respond, once the companions in front cross, the rear will naturally continue to charge, but once the companions fall into the trench, then the cavalry behind will immediately slow down, whether it is to protect themselves or rescue the companions who have fallen into the trap, there will be sufficient time to prepare.

Chu Huan wanted to see the other party rushing over, but the other party's strategy obviously disappointed him.

But at this moment, he also knew that the Tianshan cavalry had a good reputation, but it also had its reason, this was by no means a group of rabble, once it was properly commanded, it was really difficult for the Xiguan army to match.

The first row of Tianshan cavalry was like a tiger descending from the mountain, with a fierce momentum, and it was obviously full of confidence.

Seeing that he had rushed to a distance of only a few meters from the trench and had already entered the firing range, Chu Huan did not immediately order the release of the arrows, narrowed his brows, and stared at the Tianshan cavalry that rushed over with great momentum.

Seeing that the trench was in front, the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains had already prepared, shook the reins of the horse, and prepared for the final sprint, the faster the degree, the farther the distance crossed by the war horse, and the trench not far in front of them did not look like an insurmountable obstacle at all.

At this moment, a shocking change abruptly appeared!

Those cavalry who made the final sprint, when they kept the formation and rushed forward, suddenly people turned on their horses, the war horses neighed miserably, and countless war horses fell over one after another as if they had been hit by evil, and the cavalry on the horses were caught off guard, and their attention was all focused on the trench not far ahead.

At this moment, behind the wall, roars erupted, and although the Xiguan soldiers behind the wooden fence and earthen wall did not shoot arrows, they let out a burst of cheers.

Gu Liangchen was not listed in the first row, but between the first column and the second column of cavalry, after all, the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, the cavalry charging in the first column was the most dangerous, after all, the Xiguan army was not eating white rice, there was Mulan Tuqiang as a barrier, when the time came, the arrows would definitely cause a lot of damage to the cavalry in front, he was the commander of the cavalry on the northern wing, once he folded on the charging road, the entire cavalry on the northern wing would be gone, and the result would be disastrous.

The first column of cavalry in front of the sudden change, where I saw, their own soldiers and horses turned over on their backs, screamed together, surprised, had quickly slowed down the horse, but at this time it was already clear to see, it turned out that the Xiguan army in front of the trench, actually dug a dark pit, but this dark pit was cleverly disguised, it looked like just a flat grass, although there were still some traces of disguise in many places, but the cavalry under the high charge, attention was focused on the open trench, where did you think of suffering a dark pit first.

The horse farm takes the wooden fence and earthen wall as the most important fortification, the trench is in the light, but supplemented by the dark pit, the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains is no matter how superb the equestrian skills are, how can they react, but more than half of the cavalry falls into the dark pit, the dark pit is naturally not a sharp wooden stake, falling into it, piercing the body of the people and horses, the blood is dripping, the people shout and neigh, many fall into it, whether it is a person or a horse, they are seriously injured, trapped in it, can not come out.

Although Chu Huan has suddenly risen from a white coat to a feudal official in just a few years, he is a person with excellent adaptability to the environment.

When he arrived in the northwest and saw the situation in the northwest clearly, he knew that in the northwest land, he had to use his sword to take advantage.

If you want to survive, you can never count on others, you can only arm yourself and make yourself strong, Chu Huan has understood this truth for a long time, so after coming to the northwest, as long as he has spare time, he will seize every minute and every second, practice martial arts, study military books hard, that is, when he rests at night, unless Su Niang can't support it, he will also go to Su Niang's room as much as possible, in addition to enjoying the joy of fish and water between husband and wife, but he can also use Su Niang's body to practice martial arts and maintain his energy.

Throughout the ages, every dynasty has been built through countless wars, fighting in the east and killing in the west, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, and every war will leave valuable experience for future generations.

In the eyes of many famous generals, no matter what kind of geographical environment they are in, as long as they are good at present, they can always find factors that can be used.

Chu Huan knew that there were many soldiers in the Tianshan Mountains, but he also knew that the other party lacked experience, and he laid a dark pit by himself, which could easily fool the other party, digging a pit in the outer base, and the open trench was actually just an auxiliary project to cover up, and the real killing move was actually in the dark pit, in order to make the other party brave to rush over, the open trench was not dug too wide, so that the opponent's cavalry could estimate that they could cross the open trench, as long as they aimed to cross the open trench, they would inevitably fall into the trap of the dark pit if they were all cavalry charged.

It's just that to Chu Huan's disappointment, the Tianshan cavalry kept their distance, although the hundreds of cavalry in the first column fell into the dark pit, but the cavalry behind was in danger in time, and there was enough time to stop, once the Beishan cavalry did not make such preparations, but all the cavalry charged, then the losses would be even heavier.
