Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 273 Homecoming, homecoming, death like home
"As home, as home, as death as home.!"

Sitting on the Taixia Gate, Li Shimin was slightly absent-minded. For some reason, Li Shimin always felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with the slogan of Ruguilian at this time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. There was nothing wrong with it. This familiar feeling came from Li Shimin's most elite cavalry unit, the Xuanjia Army.

It's not the equipment like Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, but the will. In the past, Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army must be at the forefront in every battle, which is very consistent with the slogan just now.

Home, like home, death like home!

"What a home, home, death is like home...!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly became slightly moist.

"Zhijie, what's the matter with you?" Li Ji asked in surprise.

"It's nothing. I just think of my big brother Shubao. We protected His Majesty together. Those years are really unforgettable for Lao Cheng!"

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Li Shimin on the side also sighed: "I miss Shubao too, but Shubao left too early!"

According to Zizhi Tongjian, Qin Wang Li Shimin selected more than a thousand cavalry, and personally led the formation of this Xuanjia cavalry.This team was once commanded by Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun.Every time there is another battle, Li Shimin will take the lead in the charge and be invincible.Moreover, when Li Shimin led this cavalry team, he didn't just rush blindly. He also paid attention to strategy, so the effect was remarkable, and he also made such an elite cavalry team.

So these people are comrades-in-arms, and they are the intimate kind.

After Li Shimin sighed, everyone fell silent, and everyone was aroused to feel sad for Qin Shubao. If it was the Tang generals who had the highest prestige, then it would undoubtedly be Qin Shubao.

I don’t know if you have ever heard of “inserting knives in both ribs for a friend”. The origin is that Qin Shubao dyed his face and painted his beard to go to Dengzhou to pretend to be a thieves in order to save a friend. One road goes to Runan Village, the other road goes to Dengzhou, and the other road goes home. In the end, they are still friends and go to Dengzhou as if they were dead. Qianqiu".

So Qin Shubao's death can still arouse everyone's sadness.

"Boom. Boom.!" Just as everyone was mourning for Qin Shubao, the war drums on the Taixia gate sounded. It was time for the duel. The war drums rang eighteen times in total.

Just after the [-]th beat of the war drum, a big gong was sounded, followed by an eunuch shouting: "The duel begins!!"

"Ah!" The eunuch had just finished speaking, when he saw the hundred Huimen on the opposite side rushing out with the wooden sticks in their hands, all of them had fierce expressions on their faces, like a bird that had been trapped for a long time. The cheetah that has been killed is doing everything to prepare to pounce on and bite its prey.

It's just a pity that in front of the Huishan people is not the prey that they have been letting them bite, but a male lion that is waiting for the prey.

Xue Rengui looked at the hundred Huiren who were desperately rushing up from the opposite side, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. Why did he smile, because seeing the way these Huiren rushed over, Xue Rengui knew that he would win.

How should I put it? It is more than fierce, but it lacks discipline and formation.

There is no formation in war, which is tantamount to playing hooligans. There is no exception in ancient and modern times. The tactics of the ancient army were mainly realized by formation.Because the means of communication are basically 0, the sound is not transmitted far, the flag cannot be seen, the fireworks and musical instruments are relatively monotonous, and the orderly soldiers will be killed if they run slowly. The mechanized formation is the only one that can realize the general's intention.

For soldiers, you just need to remember who is next to you, and whether you should stand in a horizontal line or a diagonal line with others. As for the others, the non-commissioned officers are in control, and the officers control a large area.

If the generals can't control the officers, that's not necessarily true. I pray that everyone will perform normally.

Let’s not talk about the ancient army. If you go to see primitive tribal wars, there are only a dozen people, and there are still scouts, forwards, backbones, harassment from the two wings, remote output, and material storage.That existed tens of thousands of years ago.

The Huixi people on the opposite side are not even as good as the primitive people, they only know how to rely on their own strong body to kill them.

Just after the Huiren were about to rush to the front of Ruguilian, Xue Rengui waved his hand.

"Boom!" At the end of Ruguilian, a small drum sounded.

"Protect!"

Immediately, 20 of the strongest members of the Rugui Company took up their shields and stood at the front. After the Huishan people rushed up, although they launched a fierce attack, because they were wooden sticks, they really couldn't break through the 20 people. man's defense.

"Bastards, you bastards!" Ye Zhengchun took the lead, and the wooden stick hit Ruguilian's shield hard, making a 'bang', 'bang', 'bang' sound.

But it can't break through, like returning to the defense of the 20 people in the front. You must know that the ancient army emphasized the role of morale. Once they are dispersed, the soldiers will not be able to focus on the front and will be killed by the enemy from the side. 10 If you line up well, 100 people can't break up, and if 10 people disperse, the opponent can deal with you with only 10 people.

Ye Zhengchun was very anxious to disperse the 20 people in front of him, because as long as he disperses the 20 people, he will surely win when he returns home, but these 20 people are like the strongest city wall, they are dead Standing in front of his own one hundred people.

"Kill!" Ye Zhengchun uttered the angriest roar.

But what Ye Zhengchun didn't expect was that just as the hundred Huiren were rushing desperately, suddenly, 30 people came out from both sides of Ruguilian and began to outflank them from the sides.

Outflanking on both sides is the simplest and most versatile formation, and any fool can use it. Whether it is used well depends on the general's control ability and the quality of the soldiers.

The Ruguilian soldiers who rushed out to encircle them did not rush to kill like lunatics like the Huishan people, but 30 people formed a small formation and killed each other.

The 30 people rely on each other. When the Huiren attacked, one used a shield to block, and the other directly attacked the Huiren. The 30 people were one, and the killing was fast and efficient. Of course, this formation also has shortcomings.

The disadvantage is that if the opponent wants to withdraw, it will be difficult to chase and kill the square formation, because the formation cannot be messed up, so if the opponent runs desperately, the chase will not be able to catch up.

Just like now, Ru Guilian outflanked the two sides and directly stunned the Hui people on the opposite side. Ye Zhengchun was not stupid. He also saw the disadvantages of the formation, so he quickly ordered the group to retreat.

In this case, it would not be difficult for Li You's Ruguilian to catch up without messing up the formation.

In this way, Ye Zhengchun had time to regroup and organize another charge.

But when Ye Zhengchun didn't expect, just when he gave the order to retreat, Xue Rengui's drum sounded again, and the 20 people who were at the front immediately pulled down their shields.

Then 20 people rushed out from the middle. These 20 people were wearing light armor and holding wooden sticks, staring at them!
