"It's very simple. Didn't the corps commander ask us to kill and damage the enemy's vitality as much as possible, and delay the enemy's marching speed? It seems that it is not realistic to effectively kill the enemy's vitality. To do this, we may suffer a lot of losses, but it is not difficult to damage the opponent's morale and delay the marching speed." The bald man smiled sinisterly on his face.

"Oh? How to do it?" The man with a numb face shone with a divine face and looked eager.

A shrill police whistle suddenly sounded, followed by a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the right side. The yellow dust in the sky made it difficult to identify how many enemy troops were attacking. The whistle and gongs were heard one after another. In addition to a little panic at the beginning, the marching Puer army quickly stabilized. Facing the attacking cavalry team, the irregular crane wing attack formation was unfolding. The heavy infantry in the Puer steadily moved forward with neat steps, and the thick wings attacked in a semi-encirclement shape. The Puer cavalry who received the warning message from the front and rear also combined from both ends as quickly as possible, hoping to intercept the enemy cavalry who dared to stroke the tiger's beard and eliminate it in the half-arc infantry encirclement.

However, although there were not many cavalry attacking, the leaders were extremely cunning. When approaching the infantry's advancement line, these nomadic cavalry fully demonstrated their cavalry and shooting skills on their horses. Waves of arrow rain hit the surface. The opponent's size was just a ranger of a thousand cavalry team, but under the command of the leader, they rolled out and shot in succession, forming three consecutive waves of arrow rain. When the Poole soldiers attacked and pushed forcibly, the enemy cavalry that achieved their goal had already rolled up a wave of yellow dust in front of the infantry and turned around. At this time, the Poole cavalry who received the warning was still a few miles away from here.

Looking at the Western Frontier Rangers who were moving forward, the generals of Puer were puzzled. What was the purpose of the enemy launching such an attack? Is it just to delay the speed of his own marching? But this kind of sneak attack may have some effect for the first time. If you do it a few more times, it will not only not have much effect, but it will also be blocked by the cavalry intercepted by your side. Such a small-scale cavalry, as long as the infantry arrives, can be completely strangled in one hour, and the enemy will not lose the rice.

Just when the attack on the Puer army was about to launch a resurgence, in another area, the Puer army was attacked by two rangers at the same time. The enemy's measures were very despicable. When the first cavalry effectively restrained the attention of all parties of the Puer army, another main cavalry launched an attack not far away. As attacks were successively encountered in several places, the surrounding cavalry were all transferred away, and the main general's attention was also attracted to the troops attacked in the early stage. No one had thought that the first few cavalry were all used as cover for the last main force, and the last one was the real killer move. The first few sneak attack troops were just about a thousand restraining troops, while the last one was assault troops with as many as five thousand. Although five thousand were insignificant compared to the entire Puer army, the lethality they had at a certain point in a short time was still quite considerable.

This story was only the first time when the entire team of charge Tubu cavalry rushed towards the Poole army, which had just formed a tight formation. Then this example might continue to happen, and maybe not. It all depends on how vigilant and resilience of the Pooles were.

The maces used in melee combat by Tubu cavalry are much heavier than those used by Mot cavalry. From this perspective, they are more like heavy cavalry. Of course, their armor cannot be compared with heavy cavalry, but they are more lethal to heavy infantry than the damage caused by the saber.

Thousands of Tubu cavalry broke into the defensive formation of the Puer people, causing blood waves. Although the Puer people were prepared, they were suddenly abrupt and encountered this situation during the march. After all, the temporary emergency formation was not as close as the formal dispatch of troops to form a formation. The Tubu cavalry's forced breakthrough paid off. After paying a considerable price, they soon tore a big hole in the waist. Once the formation was disrupted, they could no longer play their protective role. The chaos continued until the arrival of the cavalry who came to reinforce was considered to be controlled. However, the Tubu people had already obtained what they wanted from this chaos and escaped, leaving behind a mess and a tragic phenomenon.

This was just the first encounter between the Puer people on the way to marching in the clouds. Almost all Tubu cavalrymen who changed their tactics followed this tactic and sent small groups of cavalry to harass them. Once they had the opportunity, they would pounce on them like wolves and bite them. If the situation was not good, they would flee and flash. The main force lying beside them was even more elusive and remained motionless, but if they did not move, they would bite them hard. Even during the camping at night, Tubu cavalry also took turns to harass them, causing several police officers in the camp overnight to make the Puer people sleep uneasy, seriously shaking the military morale and morale of the Puer people.

In order to ensure the safety of his troops, Kunbo had to slow down, strengthen the protection of the two wings, build a thick defense circle, and at the same time he also deliberately exposed his weaknesses to lure the Western Xinjiang nomadic cavalry to attack. Both sides fought wits and courage, and each had their own victory or defeat. In the early stage, the Western Xinjiang rangers succeeded one after another, and in the later stage, the Puer side, who was already prepared, also fully utilized the joint attack method of cavalry and infantry, and they were often captured. However, the flat itinerary that could be crossed in three or five days turned into a bloody journey that had just passed half of the journey.

The great wolves tactics of the Western Front Rangers not only greatly delayed the speed of the Puer army, but also seriously damaged the morale of the Puer officers and soldiers. It took more than 300 miles a week to reach more than half of the time. The average speed of traveling is less than 40 miles per day. The harassment that comes almost every night makes the Puer people exhausted. Many soldiers cannot even adapt to this high-intensity harassment tactic. The things that fall from horseback during the daytime marching often occur, which makes Kunbo feel very troubled.

Although such harassing tactics actually did not cause much damage to the army's vital forces, the number of soldiers lost no more than 7,000 in a week, and a considerable number of them were caused during the first raid. The subsequent attacks of the cavalry of the Western Xinjiang were difficult to pose a major threat, but Kunbo knew that such harassing war had cast a shadow on the heart of the army, which was originally highly morale. It turned out that the psychological advantage over the Tanghe army had nowhere to exist. Just one march had already ended in such a situation. I don't know how many tricks would appear in the Western Xinjiang side.

Just as the nomadic cavalry in Western Xinjiang showed off their skills on the clouds, the entire battlefield continued to roll forward like a rotating roulette, and every time they crushed, it aroused countless shouts and wails.

On February 8, 699, the mainland Gregorian calendar, the First Corps of the Western Xinjiang was ordered to advance the entire army. Liang Chongxin and Red, the new leader of the Gerok Imperial Guard Corps, led 30,000 Imperial Guards to the vicinity of Fanlin. At this time, the Gerok National Defense Force stationed at Jiama also dispatched the entire army to hand over the defense of Jiama to the Nantesil Front. More than 180,000 coalition forces unfolded in a semi-arc shape, pressing towards Fanlin with a trembling pace. Even the Kaman officers and soldiers in Fanlin City felt this pressure that was enough to destroy everything.

Before that, on February 7, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, Kamapov had completed the encirclement of Qinghe Prefecture City and compressed the encirclement to Qinghe Prefecture City. A total of 160,000 troops gathered around Qinghe Prefecture City. The thick battle clouds were enough to make any ordinary person who had not experienced the battle formation crazy. On February 8, two divisions of the Third Legion's subsequent reinforcements arrived in Qinghe, and Kamapov also completed a big move, throwing another cavalry regiment that Bo Jinchen had assigned to him into the cloud blocking battle, and drew a division of the Nanteluoke Legion back to Qinghe Prefecture City, determined to burn the boats and complete the complete annihilation of the Qinghe Kaman army.

"Wenxiu, this time Lao Ka is going to take your lead. Don't be so wronged that you can't eat." The heavy pressure and the busy days made Kamapov's black face even more dark and translucent, but people feel refreshed when they are happy, and they are tired, but they are extremely vigorous. Seeing that the old friend finally arrived.

"Okay, old card, rob our Third Legion mission, use our Third Legion people to say sarcastic words at this time, aren't you a cold man?" Cui Wenxiu, who was quiet, had already sat on the kang. Originally, the Military Affairs Office did not arrange for him to participate in this battle, but the main force of the Third Legion had been drawn, leaving only a division to symbolically sit in Hejian. However, with the current situation in the Central Plains, it is not worth worrying. Cui Wenxiu simply explained, greeted the Military Affairs Office, and quietly followed the army to the city of Qinghe, and wanted to breathe and experience the breath of the war.

"Hehe, this is not something I, Lao Ka. Our Fifth Legion has never really caught a big battle except for the First Division. It is not as good as your Third Legion across the Western Regions and the Indean. You can feel sorry for us, let's try it out too." Kamapov rolled his eyes and replied with a smile, sitting on the kang.

Seeing that his old friend was so relaxed, Cui Wenxiu let go of most of his heart. As a major battle of this scale, he might only encounter one or two lifetime soldiers. Seeing that his comrades were full of confidence and said that his mind was balanced was lies, but Cui Wenxiu also knew that the above considerations were above. In addition to the First Division, the Fifth Army was considered an elite soldier, only the Second Division could see it. The other three divisions were new troops that had not experienced baptism. The army had to go through cruel iron and blood baptism. His Highness Qin's ambitions were not something that ordinary people could predict. Cui Wenxiu could only see a rough idea. He was much more open-minded in the future. However, his old friend had always been steadfast and had a clear plan.
