Chapter 1984 The dragon gate reappears
Chapter 1982: The dragon gate reappears
With the inspiration of Li Shimin and the increase of "Zhenguan", the 50,000 Tang troops that turned into the Ai Army did not become fierce, but they could only fight the Qin army.
Even if all the members of the Tang army sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, they could not change the fact that it was an infantryman. If they wanted to attack the Qin army with all the cavalry, they could only wait for the Qin army to take the initiative to attack.
In other words, the initiative lies entirely in the hands of the Qin army. You can beat you whenever you want, and the Tang army can only passively counterattack.
Since they all have the initiative, what else can Zhang Liao be afraid of? It is up to him to decide whether it is the beginning or the end. He has the means to slowly curb the Tang army.
"Transfer the order and the central army advances five miles." Zhang Liao said lightly.
After Zhang He and Xu Huang left, the position of Zhang Liao''s central army did not change, and they were still ten miles away from the Tang army. This was naturally to maximize the impact of the cavalry.
Once the general attack is launched and the distance between the two sides is too short, I am afraid that the cavalry''s speed will rush to the enemy before it has been expanded, which is not conducive to the cavalry''s charge.
Now Zhang Liao is advancing five miles forward because the Tang army has changed too much. If something happens to the war situation and his cavalry is ten miles away, he may not be able to deal with it in time.
With Zhang Liao''s order, 160,000 cavalry began to advance, but Xiao Yan''s 10,000 cavalry did not keep up and remained in place. As a living force, he was wary of the 10,000 Tang army cavalry that could be killed at any time.
After Zhang Liao''s central army advanced five miles, Zhang He and Xu Huang''s armies also rushed to the front of the Tang army.
Li Shimin''s morale of the Tang army was restored with a few words and also transformed the army into the Ai Army. This method was so shocked that Xu Huang and Zhang He were stunned, but they were even more surprised.
Li Shimin on the podium saw the two cavalrymen of Xu Huang and Zhang He approaching, and immediately shouted: "Design the formation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge circular formation formed by 50,000 elite Tang troops immediately centered on Li Shimin on the podium, and was divided into ten, and quickly arranged into ten small circular formations.
There is a huge gap between the array. From outside the array, you can see Li Shimin on the command platform of the array eye, and there is not even a soldier along the way.
As for the ten small circular formations, the unity was the sword, shield and hands outside, and the spear soldiers were behind.
At the center of the eye of the formation, Li Shimin stood on the platform, laughing wildly and said, "Li Shimin is here."
Xu Huang, who was still leading the army to compete for the score, suddenly exclaimed after seeing this scene: "Longmen Formation?"
That''s right, the formation set up by Li Shimin was the Dragon Gate Formation that once appeared in Hulao Pass and Liupan Mountain.
The Longmen Formation has only appeared twice so far. The first time was among the heroes who fought against Dong, and the second time was in the Second Hetao War. Both times achieved amazing results without exception.
When Li Shimin was in charge of guarding Hulao Pass, he was defeated by the ten thousand-level dragon gate formation set up by Xue Rengui. At that time, he was paying attention to this top-level formation, but after that, Xue Rengui never set up this formation again, so Li Shimin could only rely on memory and learning from other formations.
What Li Shimin did not expect was that when he heard the news about the Dragon Gate Formation here, he was in the Second Hetao Battle, and the person who set up the formation was not Xue Rengui, but Qin Hao, which further strengthened his determination to revisit the Dragon Gate Formation.
In addition to his outstanding understanding, Qin Hao was able to set up a dragon gate formation, and Xue Rengui''s teachings were also a major reason.
Without Xue Rengui''s teaching, it is naturally not so easy to master the Dragon Gate Formation. After so many years of research and understanding, he has only barely reached 70% of Xue Rengui''s level.
Before he completely controlled the Dragon Gate Formation, Li Shimin naturally did not dare to use this formation, but what he did not expect was that Sima Yi actually understood the Dragon Gate Formation. Sima Yi''s meeting the Dragon Gate Formation was actually an accident.
Once, the food and grass fire broke out in Xue Rengui''s army and needed emergency support for a batch of military food, otherwise it might be cut off. The person who was carrying the food and grass at that time was Sima Fang, and Sima Yi also went with him.
When Xue Rengui learned that Sima Fang was coming with food and grass, he was naturally overjoyed and specially treated Sima Fang and his son in the big tent. Sima Yi saw the dragon gate formation map that Xue Rengui had laid on the sand table at that time.
Seeing that Sima Yi had been peeking at the formation map, Xue Rengui didn''t care, but just thought it was the young man who was curious. Besides, the Dragon Gate Formation was unfathomable, so how could he be able to see it just by looking at it?
What Xue Rengui didn''t expect was that although Sima Yi did not learn it on the spot, he remembered it roughly in his heart, and then realized it six or seven points.
Before the Qin army caught up, Sima Yi took the initiative to propose to Li Shimin that when he set up a dragon gate formation to fight against the Qin cavalry, Li Shimin felt so excited.
When Sima Yi learned that the King of Tang actually had the Dragon Gate Formation and his understanding was deeper than him, he was completely shocked and immediately put away his arrogance and never dared to underestimate anyone anymore.
Li Shimin''s Longmen Formation has seven points, and Sima Yi''s six points, although it is still not the original version, it can barely be restored to 90%.
It is precisely because of this Longmen Formation that Li Shimin was confident that he could use 50,000 infantry to defeat the 30,000 cavalry of the Qin army.
When they saw that the Tang army''s formation turned into the Longmen formation, Xu Huang and Zhang He were both shocked, and Zhang Liao, five miles away, was also full of shock.
Zhang He had seen Xue Rengui''s Longmen Formation in the battle against Dong, and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Xue Rengui belonged to the Qin army, so it was naturally impossible for him to recognize his comrades'' famous formation.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have a good personal relationship with Xue Rengui. They have asked Xue Rengui for advice a lot. More than once, Xue Rengui used the Dragon Gate Formation to kill him more than once. They naturally know the layout strategy of the Dragon Gate Formation.
Although the Longmen Formation that Li Shimin set up is not exactly the same as Xue Rengui''s, it is not much different in general. It is all distributed by the ten gates. That is, among the ten gates it belongs to, there are five real gates, and the five real gates are combined, and they are specifically used to confuse and trap enemies.
Now these ten sects are guarded by ten generals including Ma Shanwei, Shang Shipai, Hou Junji, and Li Shimin himself is in the corner to suppress the formation.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang both know the Dragon Gate Formation very well, but the more they understand, the more they understand the power of this formation.
As far as the known formations are concerned, the Dragon Gate Formation is the formation with the least flaws and is also the best choice for infantry to fight against cavalry.
But he had too high requirements for the formation of the people who set up the formation. Even generals of Xu Huang and Zhang He could not understand the essence without years of research.
Therefore, the Dragon Gate Formation is destined to become a niche formation and it is impossible to promote it.
When they thought that they were facing the Dragon Gate Formation, Xu Huang and Zhang He felt a headache. After all, the Dragon Gate Formation was famous for its defense, but then they became secretly grateful.
Fortunately, the order Zhang Liao gave them was to raid the two wings of the Tang army, not to attack them. Otherwise, they would have the heart to fight to the death with the Tang army that had the heart to fight to the death and had set up the Dragon Gate Formation, even if they could win, they would have won a miserable victory, right?
