Gao Kaidao's infantry and military formation was originally following the people. When he saw the wanderers in front of him actually captured, the Cangtou Army's front camp immediately felt a plan and led his army to attack.

Although the start was passive, Etu, Yinghefu, and Yan Yelei fully utilized the advantages of the grassland cavalry. Nine thousand cavalrymen and five thousand infantrymen who opened the road high in the front came to the front camp established by more than 10,000 auxiliary troops in the rear.

Gao Kaidao's auxiliary army set up a circular formation, surrounded by baggage chariots and the cavalry chariots were connected to the front and tail. The auxiliary army hid in it and saw it. Instead of attacking, the cavalry went around, like a windmill, riding horses and shooting around the chariot camp.

The Xi clan's cavalry has long been different from the past. After years of war, they have won one after another. The Xi army's cavalry equipment has been updated and a large number of iron tools have been used. Although it is impossible to have iron armor on all over, many nomadic cavalry went to Yuyi Town to replace iron and wrap the horse's head. As for the iron pocket, they also found a way to get one, and as for other iron tools. As for the hooves, many iron stirrups have also been replaced.

The Xi clan's cavalry was simply refreshing, almost the equipment of the Sui army's light cavalry.

Of course, the most important thing for light cavalry is the bow. Each cavalry has two bows, most of which are hard bows made of buffalo horns. The arrowhead is no longer tied with a bone or stone with the branches of the past, but is a real iron arrowhead.

Such a light cavalry had improved much more than before. The chariot camp where the auxiliary army was located was immediately attacked by overwhelming arrows from all directions. Although Gao Kaidao's auxiliary army was all young and strong, they all held bamboo guns and short bows.

But the archers of the auxiliary army just came out and wanted to shoot arrows, but they were so shocked that they could not lift their heads. They were completely suppressed by the rafting arrows. The arrow feathers ran around, and many rice bags on the supplies trucks shot out more than a dozen eyes. Yellow corn was sprinkled all over the floor. However, the auxiliary army, who was suppressed by the bows, buried their heads in a mess. They hid in the supplies trucks, and after the camp van, they did not dare to fight back.

The ranger's offensive immediately attracted Li Hu's attention. The Wansheng Army was the proton army of each unit, and the Cavalry Group was the iron-armored cavalry established by Li Chongjiu by Wang Mahan. They were all elite and had very strong combat power. But no matter what, no cavalry general, regardless of whether he was riding a cavalry or not, would not be strong, with strong bows, hard crossbows, or iron spears and heavy armored infantry formations.

Li Hu would not do this either. He used the army to wave front and then led the armored cavalry to go around the side and attack the auxiliary army behind Gaokaidao.

In the Tang Dynasty Li's question, the cavalry was divided into combat cavalry, dance cavalry, ranger. Rangers were all light cavalry, while the combat cavalry was armoured, half-body armored, and part-armed. As for the cavalry, it was a heavy iron cavalry that beat the enemy's formation, that is, armored cavalry.

Li Hu ordered Etu to lead the ranger to lag behind. At that time, Wang Mahan fought against the cavalry and attacked Gao Kaidao's rear auxiliary army. Gao Kaidao saw that the rear was attacked. He decisively ordered the infantry and military formation to return to the auxiliary army, and the two thousand cavalry on the side also joined the battle and rescued the auxiliary army.

The auxiliary army in the chariot camp had long been hit by arrow rain, and they lost the courage to shoot arrows to fight against Wang Mahan's iron cavalry. Therefore, Wang Mahan's cavalry regiment simply dismounted and fought in the chariot camp. After opening a hole outside the chariot camp, the infantry immediately rushed in. And Ertu, Yinghefu and his rangers simply delayed and blocked the infantry and the cavalry that were moving in the high tunnel and the rescued cavalry.

Although the infantry in Gaokaidao was moving slowly, this infantry that had only been in force for two years was also very brave and well-trained. Although it was a reinforcement, its formation was not chaotic.

As seen on TV in the past, the scene where the generals on both sides of the army raised their arms and shouted, and then countless people and horses behind them charged against the scattered lines. In ancient wars, except for the fights of villagers, they would never appear.

Infantry wars, they must be arranged in a formation. The role of the formation is first used to prevent one's own escape, and it can also prevent people from pushing people, charging forward or trampling on each other when they retreat. Infantry is particularly important to line up against cavalry. In history, the Song Dynasty, which lost herding land in history, armed infantry with strong crossbows and heavy armor, and fought against nomadic cavalry such as the Western Xia and Khitan. In fact, the victory rate of the battle reached 80 to 90%.

It is just because of the lack of cavalry and lack of strategic mobility. Rangers generally have the tactics of luring the enemy into depth and gathering and annihilation. Once surrounded, they will be wiped out. Therefore, once they are defeated, they will be defeated. The failure of the Khitan and Xixia is actually just repelled, and the results of the battle are not obvious, so they give people the superficial phenomenon of weak Song.

So seeing Gao Kaidao's infantry coming to reinforce, Ertuo and others changed their tactics and constantly copied the flanks of Gao Kaidao's infantry and delayed the opponent's advance speed. At this time, Gao Kaidao's cavalry came again, and Yan Yelie went forward to intercept the attack.

The Gao Kaidao cavalry were all trained by the Turks. The general Ashinakush personally led nearly a hundred Turkic wolf cavalry to rush forward. Ashinakush was a Turkic special agent who had driven three stones and had been in the Han area for a long time and was familiar with the strength of his subordinates' cavalry. Seeing Yan Yelie led his army to come, he shot three arrows in a row and killed three Shiwei cavalry off the horse. When the Shiwei cavalry was shocked, he saw that.

Among the four grassland tribes, Etu and Ying Hefu were the oldest in the world. With the support of Li Chongjiu, their combat power was the strongest, while Yan Yeli lived in the north, and most of them were cavalry under their command, so their combat power was slightly weaker.

Asinakush led the cavalry to counterattack, and Yan Yeli's army was defeated, with more than 200 cavalry casualties. Seeing that Gao Kaidao's cavalry was so powerful, Li Hu led the Wansheng Army to fight and slightly curbed the charge of Asinakush's cavalry, and at the same time ordered Wang Mahan to withdraw his troops.

At this time, Wang Mahan had defeated more than 3,000 auxiliary troops and killed five or six hundred. Gao Kaidao's auxiliary troops had no intention of fighting at all. When the army arrived, they all raised their hands to surrender. After hearing the order, Wang Mahan felt unsatisfied, but had to withdraw the troops. The soldiers withdrew from the defeated chariot camp and set off again.

At this time, Ying and Hefu teamed up to snipe the infantry of Gao Kaidao. As soon as the cavalry approached, they were shot off the horse by the powerful crossbow in the formation. As for the rushing formation, they faced the heavy infantry with iron spear and iron shields, they still had to forget it, so the front line was pushed over in one breath.

At that time, Li Hu ordered to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. Gao Kaidao's army also broke off contact and returned to the original place. Both sides stopped fighting. As for the nearly ten thousand people in the camp of the central army ahead, they had already surrendered to Sun Erniang.

After half a day of fighting between the two sides, Ying Hefu, Ertuo, and Yan also lined up three units and more than 400 cavalry, while Gao Kaidao's auxiliary army was defeated, and the people were rescued by the Cangtou army, the two armies seemed to be evenly matched.

But for Gao Kaidao, this transaction is still cost-effective. The people's auxiliary troops were all abandoned sons he had already set. Even if they were all gone, it wouldn't matter. Instead, they saved food and grass, with only five thousand armored infantry and two thousand cavalry, which was his direct line.

After the two armies fought, they confronted each other. Li Hu was inhabiting Miyun and Yanle, and more than 20,000 people from the two places. The local people knew Li Hu and showed mercy in front of the formation. At that time, they all bowed to Li Hu for not killing, but Li Hu distributed all the rations to the people and ate them.

After Gao Kaidao confronted Li Hu for ten days, he was shocked to hear that the rear of Yuyang was suddenly attacked by Li Chongji, the general of Liaoxi County. The general Zhang Jinshu was defeated and the general was defeated.

Gao Kaidao was shocked. Yuyang County was the place where he started. This time, in order to fight Li Hu, he dispatched all the elite troops, so the remaining soldiers in Yuyang were all old, weak and remnants.

The rear route was cut off, Gao Kaidao immediately decided to lead the army to retreat overnight. After Li Huwen, he immediately led the cavalry to pursue him in different directions. Gao Kaidao arranged for Xie Lengyan to be the death-death army behind the palace, and led one thousand main troops and two thousand auxiliary troops to choose one of the dangerous places to defend the Li Hu cavalry for a day and night.

However, the army behind Gao Kaidao Palace could not escape the fate of being annihilated. Xie Len knew that there was no hope of defeat in the battle, so he led a hundred dead soldiers alone. Li Hu's central army was killed in the battle. All three thousand of his troops were annihilated. However, after Gao Kaidao's gecko broke his tail, he successfully led the army back to Yuyang County. Suddenly, he heard that Gao Kaidao's main force returned, and immediately led his army to rob Gao Kaidao's hometown and retreated back to Liaoxi County with twenty cars of supplies he had obtained.

As a bandit, Gao Kaidao was accustomed to him, and he was the only one who robbed others. This time, the geese finally pecked at the eyes and met the experts from the Taoist, the Mariner and the Xi people, and finally fell. Not only that, they also lost Anle County. Now they can only retreat to Yuyang County and Luo Yi from Beiping County, echoing each other.

One day after the Cangtou Army defeated Gao Kaidao, a day later, well-informed people came to Zhuo County and a lot of inns and restaurants were talking about this time.

Even Mingyue Tower, Chunxi and Dongqing heard about the maids of other famous prostitutes. As for the other famous prostitutes, of course, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials and nobles, and tell them what they are doing now.

Even if Li Chongjiu didn't need Lin Dangfeng's report, he was already listening to Chunxi and Dongqing in Mingyue Tower, chatting one left and one right sentence like crosstalk.

"Holly, isn't it true that you said Gao Kaidao captured Changping and killed so many county soldiers?"

"Yes, the thief killed this day has been plundering Youzhou for several years. Several girls in Qingdaiyuan didn't dare to cry after hearing Gao Zhe's name at night."

"Then you say that Li Chongjiu of the Cangtou Army defeated him. Is Gao Kaidao considered doing good things for our people in Youzhou? Then is he more powerful than Gao Kaidao?"

"It's hard to say whether you do good deeds, but it's definitely better than Gao Kaidao."

"Why don't you necessarily do good things?"

"Because many people in the neighborhood say that Li Chongjiu also has ambitions for Youzhou."

"In this way, but the people of the people all said good things about him. I heard that this time the Cangtou army attacked Anle County, Gaozhe actually forced innocent people to attack the Cangtou army. As a result, they fought for the losses of their own troops and horses and saved these people. Now, the people of Anle County, who do not remember his kindness, is the real Buddha of thousands of families."

When Li Chongjiu heard these two maids, he talked and clarified the whole story. He did not agree with Li Hu's decision at the time. After all, as a warlord in troubled times, his own troops were the most important.
