Chapter 1303 Longmen formation in front of Laolongtan
Chapter 1301: Longmen Formation in front of Laolongtan
The time for the decisive battle was approaching, but Temujin did not bring all the troops to Laolongtan. After all, the greatest advantage of the cavalry was its impact, and if the distance between the two armies was too close, it would be difficult for the cavalry to attack Maximized.
Temujin only brought 100,000 cavalry to explore the road. In his opinion, 100,000 cavalry was more than enough to deal with an army of 140,000 infantry and cavalry. However, considering that Qin Hao would definitely have backup, he did not use all of them. troops, but chose to leave a spare force just in case.
As Temujin expected, the journey was not peaceful. We encountered a large number of horse pits and horse nails that could damage horses' hooves. It didn't take much to guess that they were laid by the Han army.
The Yuan army had long been accustomed to such small traps. After all, they had encountered them too many times in the battle for the Hetao. Although the Yuan army had been prepared for this, they could not withstand the number of traps laid by the Han army. As for hundreds of people being killed or injured along the way.
“Report...to report to your majesty, Qin Hao did not fight with all his strength, but instead set up a large formation of more than 100,000 people ten miles north of Laolongtan.”
"oh?"
Temujin looked surprised. His previous suspicion that Qin Hao would fight to the last resort was overturned once again.
“Does Qin Hao really want to rely on this formation to stop my 240,000 cavalry?”
Before seeing this large formation, Temujin did not believe that the formation alone could make up for the gap of hundreds of thousands of people. But after seeing it, even Temujin did not dare to make a conclusion.
This is a formation similar to the Bagua formation, but it has ten strange gates. It looks ordinary on the surface. The sword and shield hand has a special strong shield on the outside. The spearmen are in the middle and there are many spears in the formation. The archers are in the back and have long range. However, Temujin always felt that there was a murderous intention hidden in the formation.
Although Temujin did not know this formation, he knew that the formation laid out by Qin Hao was definitely not simple. He immediately asked Yang Silang, who was not far away: "Silang, you were born in the Jin army. Do you recognize this formation?"
Yang Silang didn't know that Temujin really didn't know, or was trying to test him, so he was pretending not to know, but he knew that it would be easy for Temujin to investigate, so he deliberately pretended to observe for a while, and then said truthfully: "Qi. Your Majesty, my subordinates are not sure, but judging from the fact that there are ten gates in this formation, I think it should be the Longmen Formation that shined in the hands of Xue Rengui during the battle between the princes against Dong.
In that battle, Xue Rengui used the Longmen Formation of ten thousand people to resist Li Shimin's thirty thousand Liang army without losing. Therefore, he became famous in one battle and entered the ranks of famous generals. "
“Ten thousand versus thirty thousand?”
Temujin couldn't help but look shocked. After all, an army of 10,000 people could fight against an opponent three times his size just because of a formation. This fully shows how powerful this formation is.
"This is indeed not an ordinary formation." Temujin said solemnly, but he felt relieved in his heart.
Now Temujin has roughly figured out Qin Hao's trump card, which is nothing more than the Fire Bull Formation and the Dragon Gate Formation, but Qin Hao knows nothing about his trump card. Temujin feels that he is already in an invincible position in this battle. A place of defeat.
"Xue Rengui can use the Longmen Formation of 10,000 people to resist the 30,000 Liang troops. That's because Li Shimin's 30,000 Liang troops are not cavalry. Qin Hao wants to block my 240,000 cavalry with just one formation. If this is simply I'm dreaming!" Temujin said confidently.
“Your Majesty is right.” Yang Silang clasped his fists in compliment, but his heart was in turmoil.
How did Temujin know that Li Shimin's 30,000 Liang troops were not cavalry? Sure enough, he knew about the Longmen Formation, he just pretended not to know and was testing himself!
Yang Silang has experienced this kind of little temptation countless times, and he was secretly glad that he was cautious, otherwise he would have died countless times.
At this moment, a group of people walked out of the main entrance of the Longmen Formation, and it was Qin Hao who left the command platform in the center of the formation.
Seeing this, Temujin also led a group of cavalry to greet them under the protection of generals such as Zhebie and Yang Silang.
The two armies were separated by more than a thousand meters, but Qin Hao and Temujin stopped with a tacit understanding three hundred meters apart.
After many years, these two old rivals are finally about to face each other again. Compared with before, the identities of both of them have changed greatly now.
Temujin went from being the Righteous King of the Huns to the emperor of the Yuan-Meng Empire. His status can be said to be among the most respected people in the world.
And Qin Hao also rose from a white body to become the Duke of Qin of the Han Dynasty by virtue of his military exploits. His status as a prince is equal to that of the king, and his status is only one step behind Temujin.
Time flies, the years have changed, and too many things have changed. The once high-spirited teenagers have become adults, but the only thing that remains unchanged is their ambition to strive for self-improvement.
Neither Qin Hao nor Temujin spoke, they just stared at each other, as if they could smell gunpowder smoke in the air.
“Temujin, you are still the same.”
Qin Hao was the first to speak, looking at Temujin arrogantly, and said coldly: "Back then, the Huns were almost wiped out by you two brothers. Now they have finally recovered, but you can't wait to provoke me. It's really good." The scar forgets to hurt.”
"snort…"
Temujin snorted with disdain. He knew that Qin Hao knew that he was deliberately irritating him, and said indifferently: "A prairie man never gives up. He will get up wherever he falls."
Temujin's words made the people around him boil with blood, and they all shouted: "Long live your Majesty, long live the Great Yuan..."
Subsequently, the 100,000 cavalrymen also shouted, and the sound was deafening. When Temujin raised his hands, the 100,000 troops soon stopped shouting.
Qin Hao frowned slightly when he saw this. Temujin's prestige was higher than he expected.
Temujin didn’t know Qin Hao’s thoughts. He pointed at Qin Hao and said in a deep voice: “Qin Hao, I will pay you back ten times the humiliation you have given me today.”
“Really, but just relying on these 100,000 riders is not enough.”
Qin Hao sneered and asked: "Temujin, didn't you bring 240,000 cavalry? Why did you only send out 100,000 cavalry?"
“To deal with your mere 140,000 foot cavalry, one hundred thousand iron cavalry is more than enough.” Temujin said coldly.
“Haha, I’m not ashamed of my words...”
Although the decisive battle has not yet begun, the contest between Qin Hao and Temujin has already begun. Even if it is a verbal confrontation, the two will fight every second to decide who will not give way to the other.
At this moment, not far behind Temujin, a trace of determination flashed in Yang Silang's eyes.
A bold idea came to his mind. This idea was not within the scope of his mission, and he would face a near-death situation whether it succeeded or not, but corresponding to the risk, there were even greater benefits.
Yang Silang had already put life and death aside, so he was willing to risk his life to take a gamble.
It’s the last day of August, and I’m finally asking for recommendations and monthly votes...
