On the prairie, a group of cavalrymen, one man and three horses were moving quickly.

Li Yongzhen held a relatively simple map in his hand, and the map marked the direction of Cao Wenzhao's action with red lines.

Just as Li Yongzhen was holding a telescope and staring at the surroundings, the red light on the shoulders of a cavalry with a green communication antenna behind him flashed.

Then the buzzer also made a dripping sound.

"There is a signal! Eunuch Li has a signal!" The cavalry in charge of the road exploration shouted in surprise.

"Where is it? Show me the steering wheel!" Li Yongzhen was also full of joy and finally found it.

The cavalry took out a steering wheel with LED light bulbs on the circle, placed it horizontally in his hand, and then an arrow appeared on it, which pointed to the northeast direction.

"Go forward quickly!" Li Yongzhen saw the arrow and pointed at the direction of the arrow and ordered.

Just follow this direction to find Cao Wenzhao and the army.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was actively deploying the formation. He ordered 20,000 infantry to form a large square formation in the shape of a field, and every five thousand soldiers formed a small square formation, with a channel reserved in the middle. The channel was a cross-shaped one, which could be used for cavalry to enter and avoid quickly.

The outer periphery of the Tian-shaped square formation is made of a Wugang car. Shields are erected on the Wugang car, and there are gaps on the shield, and spears are spears on the gaps.

The long spear is the description of this time. Each of the four teams is hollow, and each team has one thousand musketeers and one thousand archers.

This musket is not the original Daming musket, nor is it the kind of flintlock musket used by Tianzhu military. It is the first version of the musket. The craftsmen's practice made the steel pipes. The first and last batch of 10,000 were made. Zhu Youxiao disliked the performance of the poor, so he threw them into Cao Wenzhao's hands.

However, this is true for Cao Wenzhao people to be regarded as treasures, with an effective range of 100 steps. A number of musketeers can score four to five in one minute, but it is much more powerful than a crossbow.

If Zhu Youxiao hadn't said that this kind of musket was already behind, we would have something better, and it would have been a waste to build this thing, otherwise Cao Wenzhao would have written a letter to the emperor to distribute another 30,000 pieces, turning the entire army into a full firearm army.

However, Cao Wenzhao did not give up the training of archers. The emperor also laid down ten thousand bows and arrows called recurve bows. The muskets were not enough to get the bows and arrows. The recurve bows were not bad. They were generally twenty steps away from the Tartars' bows and arrows. This use has a great advantage in infantry. Isn't long-range weapons a farther-range weapon?

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao used the roaming tactics based on the situation. Infantry guards and cavalry roamed and attracted the Tatar cavalry to attack. After the military exercises against each other, Cao Wenzhao found that if the Tatar cavalry formed a defensive formation, the Tatar cavalry was no more than twice that I could not imagine breaking the infantry's defensive formation. If they were not enough, what would it do if they could break the first layer of the infantry's Wugang chariot defense? The square formation was hollow, which was specially prepared for the cavalry. Once the cavalry launched a charge and entered the hollow of the infantry, it would lose its ability to impact, and it would be easy to get out when they came in.

However, this tactic is not all advantageous. The biggest disadvantage is that it is too turtle shell, so it causes slow movements. If you want to maintain the formation, you will not be able to increase your speed. Now these soldiers can only travel seven miles per hour to maintain the formation, and walk up to thirty miles a day and then get exhausted.

Therefore, if you are surrounded by a large group of cavalry and the weapons and supplies are in a hurry, you may be completely wiped out with this formation.

However, Cao Wenzhao said that this was the case. He was not prepared to use infantry to destroy the Tartar cavalry on the grassland. The infantry's intention was to support the cavalry. When our cavalry advances, we can attack and retreat or defend, the Tartars can only stare at me.

Everything is ready, and now I am waiting for the Tartar cavalry. All the soldiers are ready to do something. They will have to have a good New Year when they go back. Since the Tartars come to give away their heads, wouldn’t they look down on others if they don’t accept them?

"Report! Report to the commander, a small group of cavalry came from behind!" At this time, a scout rushed over and shouted on a horse.

"How many people!" Cao Wenzhao's aura was solemn that the information was wrong. The attacking Tartars were not only on both sides of the east and west, but also on the back?

If this is the case, then you have to re-arrange your own. The attack of three parties is much more difficult than that of two parties.

"No! It's not the enemy, it's our army. The big one on the flag is the flag of Father Li Yongzhen!" The scout took a breath and said quickly. If he was a little slower, he would really die.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Cao Wenzhao was angry.

The scout dared not speak, what could he say? Can he say he was interrupted by you before he finished speaking?

"Go back and get the ten army sticks!" Cao Wenzhao roared. Although he remembered that he shouldn't have interrupted the scout, he was a general at this time and could only sacrifice the scout to maintain his majesty. At worst, he could go to him to compensate him after the battle.

"Yes!" the scout replied loudly, he also understood that it was not the time to justify, so he could only accept it.

However, Cao Wenzhao didn't know what Li Yongzhen came to do at this time. The war was about to begin. At this time, he came here and did not make trouble!

"Zhang Goudan and my general's personal guard must bring Li Yongzhen safely here! If he loses a hair, I will ask you!" Cao Wenzhao shouted at Zhang Goudan.

Although Cao Wenzhao didn't like Li Yongzhen because he always sprinkled some strange smell on himself, making his nose itchy and painful as soon as he got close to him, Li Yongzhen couldn't have any trouble.

He is a military supervisor sent by the emperor. What would the emperor think if something happened to him? If the emperor was suspicious, it would be over. Since ancient times, the general who led troops alone outside will not have a good end as long as the emperor is suspicious of him.

Although there is a military supervisor who is inconvenient, it can ensure safety. Although this military supervisor is a bit arrogant, at least he will not cause trouble for himself. Cao Wenzhao is quite satisfied with him.

After all, they were with each other for a while, and Cao Wenzhao didn't expect something to happen to Li Yongzhen.

Zhang Goudan had ordered his fifty personal soldiers to rush towards Li Yongzhen. At this moment, a stream of smoke and dust appeared in the west. Cao Wenzhao knew that the Tartar cavalry had finally arrived, and the first one was the seven or eight thousand cavalry in the west.
