"We're only twenty miles away, and we'll be able to recapture the well." Yuan Xuan sat in the big tent, looked at the direction of Jing Cheng in the distance, and muttered to himself: "If the general was still here, I am afraid that he would have ordered an attack on Jing Cheng a long time ago."

Yuan Xuan's men and horses had been camped here for six days, and during this time, Yuan Xuan had asked Gao Yuan for orders three times, hoping that Gao Yuan could give an order to launch a full-scale attack on Jing Cheng and recapture Jing Cheng, but the reply was to camp in the same place, strengthen the defense, not rush forward, and be careful to guard against the Qin army's counterattack.

At the beginning, Yuan Xuan was stationed in Jingcheng with Li Mu for nearly a year, and fought dozens of battles with the Qin army, and finally Li Mu was killed, and Yuan Xuan retreated to Daijun with Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong and others, and it has been more than five years. In Yuan Xuan's heart, he has always been haunted by the end of the war, and now he has finally come back, and he is only a stone's throw away from Jing Cheng, so Yuan Xuan is also eager to launch an attack on Jing Cheng and recapture Jing Cheng, and the revenge of the year.

But at this time, the plateau was abnormal, and it has been forbidden to attack Jingcheng, and now Yuan Xuan's troops are less than 60,000 people, such a force, without the support of the plateau, is naturally far from enough to attack Jingcheng, so Yuan Xuan can only wait helplessly in the camp, and at the same time, the attitude towards the plateau is also quite a little slight.

In Li Mu's old department, Yuan Xuan was the oldest and the oldest, and Li Mu was also polite to him back then, and after entering the Daijun, Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong not only respected Yuan Xuan very much in official affairs, but also treated each other with the courtesy of elders in private, so he also developed the habit that Yuan Xuan usually likes to rely on the old and sell the old.

However, although Yuan Xuan's ability to use troops is not as good as Sima Shang, he is an old man, and he is experienced and rigorous in governing the army. In the Battle of Daliang, Gao Yuan fought with Yuan Xuan.

In fact, from Yuan Xuan's heart, he still recognized the ability of the plateau, because in all fairness, he became the ruler of Daijun for more than five years, under the rule of the plateau, he built water conservancy, rewarded farming, developed commerce, and governed Daijun prosperously, from a border area with a population of only more than one million and economic production was very poor, to a population of more than two million, and accumulated enough wealth to support two or three years. What is even more rare is that in the past five years, the plateau has also made a lot of achievements in military affairs, defeating the Yan State, attacking the Xiongnu from afar, rescuing the Wei State, and resisting the Qin army, which can be said to be a great achievement. Therefore, Yuan Xuan admired the ability of both military and political affairs on the plateau, and believed that he was indeed the best successor of Li Mu.

But at the node of attacking Jingcheng, Yuan Xuan thought that the plateau was still too cautious at an important juncture, in his opinion, the Qin army was defeated in successive battles, and it was already unbearable to fight, although the Qin army is now stationed in Jingcheng and has a geographical advantage, but if the Dai army attacks with all its might, it is still completely able to defeat the Qin army and recapture Jingcheng. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Xuan couldn't help but have the idea that the plateau was not as good as Li Mu, thinking that the plateau was still too young and inexperienced after all, and there was still a considerable gap compared with Li Mu.

At this moment, a soldier came in to inform Yuan Xuan that it was the Qin army who had killed the Jingcheng Dazhai and challenged the Dai army.

Yuan Xuan's heart moved, and he didn't expect that at this time, the Qin army would dare to take the initiative to challenge the Dai army, but if he could defeat this challenging Qin army and achieve a big victory, he might be able to dispel the doubts and hesitations of the plateau, so as to make up his mind to launch an attack on Jingcheng. Therefore, Yuan Xuan immediately ordered to transfer troops to attack and meet the Qin army.

With Yuan Xuan's order, the emergency dispatch immediately began in the camp of the Dai Army. Originally, when the troops were divided from Hongshangsai, the army led by Yuan Xuan was about 60,000 people, but left a part of the troops guarding the line along the way, so now the strength of Yuan Xuan's camp is about 55,000 people, and in order to be able to defeat the Qin army and achieve a big victory, Yuan Xuan dispatched more than 36,000 troops, and the official army reached more than 22,000 people, and the cavalry army was about 8,000. In Yuan Xuan's view, such a force is enough to achieve a comprehensive victory.

After Yuan Xuan led the army out of the camp, the Qin army had also rushed to the opposite side of the Dai army camp, and the two sides were about 400 steps apart, and from the size of the Qin army, the strength was about 35,000 to 40,000, of which there seemed to be a considerable number of chariots, about 300, but the number of cavalry was not much, it was estimated that there were no more than 5,000 people. So Yuan Xuan's confidence was even stronger, and he thought that winning was in his hands.

Of course, Yuan Xuan is not blindly confident, because the strength of the two sides is roughly equal, and the Dai army has a clear advantage in the cavalry, although the Qin army has a considerable number of chariots, but the results of the battle in the past few years have been proven, and now the chariot has lagged behind the cavalry army that uses new cavalry, so the Dai army has a considerable advantage, which is also the source of Yuan Xuan's confidence.

The soldiers on both sides were well-trained, so they quickly lined up in formation, and the Dai army still listed the usual formation, with the cavalry on both flanks, the infantry in the center, and Yuan Xuan in command on a high chariot in the rear.

However, the formation of the Qin army is very strange, although the Qin army also ranks the cavalry on the left and right, but in the middle lane, the chariots are in the forefront, which is a bit like a retro chariot battle.

Yuan Xuan was not only surprised, what was Qin Jun going to do, was it so difficult that he wanted to use a chariot to impact the middle of the Dai army? Although the Dai army placed the cavalry on the left and right flanks, it was completely possible to transfer part of the cavalry to the center before the battle began.

However, Yuan Xuan thought about it for a while, and decided not to attack from the middle at first, and to send out the cavalry to attack the two wings of the Qin army, because the cavalry is the most advantageous and the most sure type of troops, if the cavalry can successfully defeat the cavalry on both wings of the Qin army, then the representative army will attack from the middle and then defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop.

After thinking about the tactics, Yuan Xuan immediately ordered 3,000 cavalry troops to be dispatched on the left and right flanks to attack the Qin army, but each left 1,000 cavalry, in case the Qin army attacked the Dai army with chariots from the middle road, and used infantry to resist the chariots, which was no different from looking for death, so Yuan Xuan also had to keep a hand.

As Yuan Xuan's order was handed down, the cavalry of the Dai Army on the left and right flanks immediately urged the war horses and galloped towards the Qin army from the left and right flanks. For a while, the horse's hooves rose and fell, and the cavalry of the two Dai armies were like two long dragons, killing the Qin army.

However, after the cavalry of the Dai army attacked, the cavalry of the Qin army still stood still, and did not kill the array to meet the cavalry of the Dai army.

And Yuan Xuan saw it on the chariot, and couldn't help but be puzzled, because the biggest advantage of the cavalry over the infantry was the strong impact generated by the rapid galloping of the war horse. Judging from the situation of the last battle, the cavalry of the Qin army has also been replaced with new horse furniture, and has also undergone a certain amount of training, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

However, now that the cavalry on both wings has rushed out of the army, it is naturally impossible to take it back, and Yuan Xuan does not plan to take the cavalry back, and he doesn't bother to care about what is wrong with the reaction of the Qin army, anyway, after the cavalry rushes up, you can know the result of the road, of course, Yuan Xuan also believes that no matter how the Qin army responds, it is impossible to resist the impact of the cavalry of the Dai army.

The distance of more than 400 steps, under the rapid gallop of the war horse, is only a minute or two, just when Yuan Xuan was thinking, the cavalry of the Dai army has galloped over a distance of almost 300 steps, and at this time the cavalry of the Qin army is still standing still, so the cavalry of the Dai army also began to change the formation, from the arrow shape to the flat head shape.

This is also a common tactic of the cavalry, if it is in an encounter battle, sports warfare, the cavalry usually uses an arrow shape to ensure the sharpness of the attack, and strive to chisel through the opponent's array in the shortest possible time and disrupt the opponent; When facing an enemy who is standing still and defending with all his might, it will line up in a flat head shape and expand the attack surface as much as possible, causing a comprehensive and large-scale blow to the enemy's defensive line, so that the enemy's defensive force is scattered and unable to concentrate on strength.

Of course, these experiences in cavalry warfare were summed up by countless famous generals after hundreds of years after the Han and Tang Dynasties. Because by this time, the cavalry of the Qin army had no intention of dispatching, and it seemed that they were not ready to attack the Dai army, and it seemed that they were going to defend. Therefore, the Dai army also changed the formation, changing the arrow shape to a flat-headed shape.

The cavalry of the Dai army was indeed well-trained, and in just over 20 steps, the array was adjusted, and the cavalry that rushed to the first row had about 100 cavalry, and the distance of more than 100 steps was spread horizontally, which caused a very amazing momentum.

The cavalry of the first row of the army of this era was only more than a hundred steps away from the array of the Qin army, and they all raised their shields to block in front of themselves to prevent the Qin army's crossbow attacks, while the cavalry in the back row also bent their bows and arrows, waiting to enter their own range and carry out long-range attacks on the enemy.

But at this moment, I saw a row of infantry suddenly emerge from behind the cavalry of the Qin army, the number of which was about 100 people, all of them were extremely tall and majestic, with helmets and armor, holding a round shield in their left hand and a javelin nearly nine feet long in their right hand.

After passing the cavalry, everyone rushed forward two or three paces, and then suddenly stretched out their arms and twisted their waists, and threw their javelins at the detainees.

More than 100 javelins, with a terrible whistling sound in the air, shot towards the cavalry of the Dai army. Almost in an instant, at least more than 20 cavalry or war horses were hit by javelins, although more than half of the javelins were blocked by the cavalry's shields, but the strong force brought out by the javelins, without exception, all penetrated the shields, deeply pierced the bodies of the soldiers behind the shields, and without the protection of the shields, they were used to piercing the body by the javelins, and two javelins even completely penetrated the soldiers' bodies and hit the men and horses behind.
