Chapter 943 Encounter(2/2)
Both the knight and the horse under the knight are brave and brave people who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
These should not be the newly built Longwu Army soldiers and horses, the elites who fought in the bloody battle in Jinyang at that time.
When Qiu Fu saw the huge tooth flag, he knew that this was Zhao Tianlin's main army.
This put a lot of pressure on Qiu Fu's heart. Not to mention that the Sixth Army's increasingly sophisticated ordnance had surpassed that of King Zhao's Army. The 50,000 elite Jinyang garrison veterans alone were enough to give them a drink.
Although Qiu Fu has a superior force, if the two sides really fight, the outcome is not certain.
Of course, not only Qiu Fu was nervous, Zhao Tianlin was also not relaxed.
He had heard of the reputation of the flying general Qiu Fu. He was a famous general under the command of the King of Zhao. He was born in the ranks of the soldiers. He was brave and brave. Although he was not smart enough, he was always at the vanguard of the army in every battle and dared to penetrate deeply with his troops.
The most important thing is that Qiu Fu made good use of his light cavalry to open up the decisive battle.
This is a unique fighting method used by the Jin Mohe people after the Qiu Fu War.
Outside Youzhou, there is a vast plain with no obstacles or fortresses. The Mohe people make a living by fishing and hunting. They are good at riding and shooting. They gather and disperse randomly and come and go as fast as they fly. There is no way to pursue and annihilate them. However, Qiu Fu has been fighting with the Mohe people for a long time.
During the fight, a unique set of tactics was explored.
"Order, Zhao Wu and Chen Qu will lead their troops to camp. If the rebels come out, use strong crossbows to shoot them. Do not engage in casual confrontations. Order the scouts of each army to go out fifty miles and carefully explore whether there are any ambushes around our army."
Order after order came from Zhao Tianlin's mouth. After sixty-six years of fighting on the battlefield, the caution of combat command has been engraved in Zhao Tianlin's bones.
Following Zhao Tianlin's military order, Zhao Wu's Chinese army of 10,000 infantry set up camp on the left and right less than three miles away from Qiu Fu's camp, while Chen Qu's 10,000 cavalry camped directly in front of Qiu Fu's camp.
They blocked Qiu Fujun's way out of the camp.
Soon, a simple camp was built.
"General, the Southern Army has set up camp, what should we do!?" Li Yuan next to Qiu Fu asked.
He is known for his resourcefulness, which complements Qiu Fu's bravery, and the two have been partners for a long time.
Qiu Fu immediately reined in his horse and said, "Go back to camp and prepare for war. How can it be so easy for an old guy like Zhao Tianlin to set up camp!"
As Qiu Fu organized his army, a large number of Zhao Wang's soldiers poured out from the military camp and formed a formation in front of the camp.
The difficulty of observation during the day is much lower than that at night. Now the scouts have estimated that Zhao Tianlin's troops are around 50,000.
Since Qiu Fu knew the strength and weakness of Zhao Tianlin's army, he would not hesitate to directly order the army to press forward in a row on the left, center and right.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, 60,000 infantry, and 40,000 cavalry.
Qiu Fu's left and right wings had 20,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry respectively. The central army's Qiu Fuya Banner was located
It seems to be the weakest, but it is actually the most dangerous. There are more than ten thousand crossbowmen quietly hidden on the two wings, all equipped with powerful crossbows from Da Zhou. Qiu Fu's killer move is also hidden near the Zhongjun Ya Banner.
By setting up the battle formation like this, Qiu Fu wanted to overwhelm others with force. Although Zhao Tianlin's army was all elite and well-armed, the biggest drawback was that it had too few troops.
Qiu Fu's troops were twice as strong as those on the ground, so he naturally dared to take the initiative.
The three armies are lined up in a row. No matter which army Zhao Tianlin attacks, as long as his troops and horses are held back for a moment, the other two armies can immediately surround him and Zhao Tianlin will be defeated.
Zhao Tianlin looked at Qiu Fu's formation and couldn't help but laugh, "This madman Qiu has not changed at all. He is still so brave and reckless, and he is ready to fight just after we met!"
"According to this general's order, all the scouts belonging to the army are sent out to detect the invincible army within twenty miles of our army. It is necessary to find out the true and false status of Qiu Fu's rebels! Report as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
Faced with Qiu Fu's challenge, Zhao Tianlin just smiled and said, "Send the order, back up the camp and shrink the formation!"
