Fighting or not fighting is a problem.

Until today, Liu Cong had only waited for reinforcements all the way, but not the men sent by Liu Jing and Bu Tai, but two thousand cavalrymen who crossed the east from the northern border of Xiayang County, Fengyi County.

This ferry is located in the northwest of Pishi County, Pingyang County.

The Pi family was in Hejin County later generations.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, because there was Longmen Mountain in the west of the county, it was renamed "Longmen County".

In history, this county was born out of the Longmen Wang family because of the migration of the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family, which is relatively famous.

There is Longmen Ferry more than 20 miles northwest of the county town, which is one of the Yellow River Ferry crossings. This group of cavalry crossed the river from here.

The level of Longmen Du is still a bit bad.

It is OK to have all the caravans, but it is a bit useless to go over the army. The reason is very simple: the Yellow River has just left the Grand Canyon of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the water is in a hurry and the danger is high.

The real hydrological conditions are Pubanjin and Fenglingdu, but the latter is located south of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the other side of the ferry is a narrow river beach east of Tongguan. The army cannot be deployed and is easily trapped and killed in adverse terrain, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

Overall, only Kusakatsu is suitable for passing the army.

After two thousand cavalrymen were replenished in the Wang family manor, they planned to go south quietly, but the Hedong boundary was full of Jin army's spies. After being discovered by the fort, they could easily inform them. The marching lost its suddenness, so they could only go south honestly and reach Liu Cong's camp in Wenxi County.

Liu Cong had a good impression of this army and could vaguely see the style of the cavalry unit that followed him to the Jin army formation during the Battle of Changping.

He knew the reason: he won a battle in Guanzhong, cultivated his self-confidence, and was well equipped, so he was very motivated.

But except for this army, none of the other troops arrived.

At present, only six thousand imperial guards and infantry, more than fifteen thousand young men were in his hands. In addition, the two thousand new cavalrymen, a total of more than 23,000 people were the total force that Liu Cong could gather in a short time.

If he was willing to wait a little longer, there would be about 20,000 people who could return to the rescue.

But the problem is that the Jin army on the opposite side will also wait for reinforcements.

After two or three days of observation, spy, and arresting prisoners and torture, the thief Hou Feihu on the opposite side brought about more than 10,000 people.

Later, more than 6,000 people rushed from the direction of Anyi, with a total force of 22,300 troops.

But this is not his full force.

Liu Cong was completely sure that if he waited, the other party would gather more troops, just like him.

If the other party wants to fight, then fight, be slow and stingy, like a sissy person.

On November 29, the two sides tacitly chose a relatively empty field and set up their own formations on both sides of the east and west.

*******

The north wind whistles, and all the herbs are declining.

The sun struggled to climb into the sky, dark red, and could not feel any heat, as if it was forced to go on a war.

Liu Cong withdrew his gaze and felt a little depressed.

The Han army set up a large formation in the shape of a pin character.

The protruding part in the center is six thousand infantrymen, of which two thousand are more elite in the front, and are iron-armored warriors. The four thousand behind are uneven and not very elite.

There are two wings behind the central formation, similar to the central army formation. There are thousands of elite soldiers in front and three thousand miscellaneous soldiers behind.

There were crossbows in front of the two wings and in the gap between the small formations of the central army, and they were pushing forward at this moment.

Archers are mostly distributed on both wings and have fewer fronts, and are replaced by a large number of shield hands.

This formation is very obvious. The Central Army attracts the main force of the Jin army because they attack the most fiercely and have the strongest combat power. Then, some of the troops quickly emerge and attack with the two wings.

Ancient and classic battle formation.

The drums were already beating, and they sounded a little dull.

Liu Cong couldn't find the feeling of passion when the war drums were beating before, but he felt that today was a little cold, especially cold, and cold to the core.

The battle flags were flying.

As soon as the wind direction changes slightly, the flag seems to break free from the flagpole and fly backwards.

When the army advanced, some young men raised their hands on the left and right wings to block their eyes and blocked the wind and sand.

Liu Cong's eyes twitched and he didn't say anything.

After blowing west for a while, the wind suddenly changed and then blew to the southeast.

Some of the old men in the formation immediately hunched up, as if they were about to block the biting cold wind that was drilling into the neck.

Liu Cong subconsciously turned his gaze and looked at the Jin army formation opposite, his eyes vaguely, as if he was looking for their flaws and ugly appearance...

After seeing the formation set up by the Huns, Hou Feihu thought about it for a while and decided to "salute" to Shao Shi and use his favorite military formation: the Yanyue Formation.

This formation is both offensive and defensive, and the core is to strike the enemy's flanks - mainly the left wing.

He could see that Liu Cong was also helpless, with very few elite troops and weak troops. No matter what formation was deployed, it was useless, so he could only fight to the death.

In fact, Liu Cong’s best tactics are the same as before, defending step by step and resisting step by step.

But it may not have any effect in the end, or he is annoyed, and his huge strategic disadvantages force him to seize the only opportunity to try to turn the disadvantages in a fight.

This situation usually happens to gamblers who are desperate to lose, invest the last little money in, hope to make up for the money, or at least make up for a large part of their debt.

"The Yanyue Formation was deployed, and Yu An, the governor of Xialou's troops, was appointed as the right-wing supervisor, and a fifty steps forward to arrange the square formation."

"I personally take the Heihu Army as the central army."

"Give General Wuya Yang Quan as the left wing, he was fifty steps behind to set up a formation."

Standard oblique formation.

More than 3,000 soldiers on the right wing.

More than 5,000 black soldiers in the central army.

More than 4,000 Yang Family Army on the left wing.

There are thousands of other cavalrymen on both sides, arranged on both wings or behind, and this will not be dispatched yet.

After the drums were beating, the flags on the battlefield were waving constantly, dazzling.

The wind direction changes constantly, blowing towards this and then.

The command car slowly moved forward. In the strong wind, the corners of a flag came towards him. Hou Feihu pushed it away with a calm and even cold look forward.

The soldiers lined up, and sometimes dead branches and leaves swept over, hitting the armored leaves head-on, making a slight sound.

The officers looked at the soldiers with malicious eyes.

The soldiers held their heads and kept moving forward, without noise or commotion, like a sculpture.

There is no way, I have been beaten with a conditioned reflex by a military stick or a horse whip. Who dares to move around will not be able to kill you!

Hou Feihu gently stroked his chin and glanced at every corner of the enemy formation with calm eyes.

Master Shao once commented on him: he is good at calculating and likes to fight tricks.

Wang Que'er commented on him: There are insufficient means to boost morale in the last battle.

Jin San said that he was like a dead person, and his blood was cold.

Shouldn’t normal people rush up their blood when they hear the sound of war drums?

Shouldn’t normal people be so arrogant when they see densely distributed military formations and flags?

Normal people shouldn't yell when they see blood splashing and flesh flying everywhere?

Hou Feihu didn't.

He felt that he would not be excited, moved, angry, sad, and cry. Even among the troops, he did not feel that blood was thrusting. He was just constantly calculating: Where is the enemy's flaw? Where is the enemy's deficit? How to exploit this loophole?

Zhang Daniu once patted his shoulder and said that he would be passionate on the battlefield. When one day he met an enemy who was obviously not as strong as you, equipment not as good as you, and training not as good as you, suddenly he burst out with passion and broke through your formation unreasonably, and then he knew that those calculations were useless.

Hou Feihu was skeptical about this. He had never encountered it before and dared not say arbitrarily that this was impossible.

Will such a person appear in the Hun formation today?

The sun gradually rose, and Hou Feihu felt a warmth.

He looked up and saw that the red sun was like blood, just in time to kill someone.

*******

The sound of horse hooves sounded from the Xiongnu formation.

Liu Cong finally couldn't help it and ordered the dispatch of cavalry to shake the opponent's side.

After fighting many battles, he knew that the opponent was aggressive and had high morale, and it was clearly a powerful team.

Before walking, the formation was not messy at all, and there was no noise at all.

This silent oppression has had a subtle impact on oneself.

The cavalry on the opposite side also went out, and it seemed that they were from Jie people.

The cavalry of both sides fought firmly on the left and right wings of the battlefield. Before the infantry could fight, the cavalry of both sides had already lie all over the ground.

Half of the two thousand imperial cavalry were dispatched and surrounded from the right rear.
