Chapter 1983: A clever plan
“Dragon, gate, array!”
Mu Guiying, who was holding a telescope, saw the Tang army's military formation, and his eyes suddenly widened with shock and disbelief.
When Qin Hao was studying the Dragon Gate Formation at home, she had also watched from the sidelines. She had some superficial understanding of the Dragon Gate Formation, so she couldn't believe that Li Shimin actually laid out the Dragon Gate Formation.
You must know that even with Xue Rengui's guidance, Qin Hao has been studying the Longmen Formation for a while, but Li Shimin did not rely on anyone's guidance, and was able to review this top-notch formation based on memory and intelligence. This formation achievement It’s simply terrifying!
“A variable has appeared.” Mu Guiying said to herself with a solemn look.
Qin Liangyu on the other side was brightened up and quickly reminded: "Aying, you can take advantage of uncle's bag."
Mu Guiying reacted immediately and quickly took out a brocade bag from her arms, which was given to her by Jia Xu before leaving Luoyang.
Before leaving, Jia Xu told Mu Guiying that if everything goes well in this pursuit, there is no need to open the kit. If something goes wrong, this kit can help the army minimize casualties.
Mu Guiying was a little confused about what he meant, so he asked Jia Xu: "This is already the situation. Does Li Shimin still have a backup plan?"
Jia Xu smiled and replied: "Li Shimin is a tycoon. You will never know what his trump card is until the last moment."
At that time, Mu Guiying felt that Jia Xu was thinking too much. After all, it had come to this point. What other trump cards could Li Shimin have? If it really existed, it would have been taken out long ago.
What Mu Guiying didn't expect was that Jia Xu got it right this time. Not only did Li Shimin have a trump card, but he also had the Dragon Gate Formation.
Thinking that Jia Xu had already anticipated his enemy, Mu Guiying couldn't help but begin to look forward to the content of his tips and tricks, but when he opened it, he found that there were only four big characters written on it:
Bing, noble, divine, speed.
“What does this mean?”
Mu Guiying was a little confused and couldn't understand what Jia Xu meant at all.
Longmen Formation has certain restraint on cavalry. It is obviously not that easy to break the Longmen Formation deployed by 50,000 elite Tang troops with 30,000 cavalry.
If we attack forcefully at this time, both sides will lose in the end, so we should attack slowly, but why does Jia Xu want to fight quickly?
Not only did Mu Guiying fail to understand Jia Xu's intention, Qin Liangyu, Hua Mulan and other female generals also did not understand.
“Is it possible that Mr. Jia guessed wrong?”
"It is possible that Li Shimin never revealed the Dragon Gate Formation, and this tip bag was left before the war. Unless Mr. Jia had the ability to predict the unknown, he would not have known in advance that Li Shimin would deploy the Dragon Gate Formation."
“That’s right…”
The women discussed each other's words.
Qin Ji, who was among the male generals, looked thoughtful.
“Could it be?”
An astonishing idea appeared in Qin Ji's mind, and he immediately stood up and said to Mu Guiying: "Madam, please give the tips to General Zhang Liao as soon as possible, otherwise things will change if you wait too long."
“General Qin Ji, have you discovered anything?”
Qin Ji looked around at everyone, as if he was about to speak but hesitated. After Mu Guiying understood it, he immediately came up to her, and Qin Ji started talking in her ear.
"What."
Before he finished listening, Mu Guiying exclaimed and said quickly: "Quickly, give this tip bag to Zhang Liao as quickly as possible." At this time, Mu Guiying suddenly realized that Jia Xu's tip bag , it was not given to her at all, but was given to Zhang Liao through her hand.
At the same time, the Qin army was in the middle.
Zhang Liao was using a telescope to watch Xu Huang and Zhang He command the cavalry, gradually wearing down the effective strength of the Longmen Formation.
Xu Huang and Zhang He each led seven thousand cavalry. After rushing to the two wings of the Longmen Formation, they still did not enter the formation even though Li Shimin was close at hand.
Although Li Shimin was in an undefended state at the edge of the formation, anyone who knew the Longmen Formation knew that it was just a way to lure the enemy into the formation. If he really entered the formation, it would be difficult to get out.
Xu Huang and Zhang He did not join the formation. In addition to knowing that the Longmen Formation contained hidden murderous intentions, they did not dare to enter the formation easily. The main reason was to execute Zhang Liao's order.
Zhang Liao was not prepared for a head-on confrontation from the beginning, so he did not directly launch a general offensive. Instead, he asked Xu Huang and Zhang He to attack the two flanks of the Tang army.
What Zhang Liao didn't expect was that Li Shimin's methods were so powerful that he turned 50,000 Tang troops into mourning troops in an instant, and also set up a 50,000-level Dragon Gate formation.
With the combination of the Ai Army and the Longmen Formation, it was no longer certain to win with only 30,000 Qin troops, but Zhang Liao still did not change his order.
Although the development of the current situation is far beyond Zhang Liao's expectations, it does not mean that the previous order was wrong.
The defensive power of the Longmen Formation is indeed strong, and it can also restrain the cavalry, but the prerequisite is that the cavalry can enter the formation.
Given the Qin army’s general understanding of the Longmen Formation, it is naturally impossible for them to take the initiative to enter the Longmen Formation knowing that there is danger in it.
After all, the formation is dead and cannot move, but people are alive.
If the cavalry does not take the initiative to enter the formation, the Longmen Formation will be like a turtle shell. It has enough defense but not enough offense, so it can only be passively beaten, and it is difficult to cause damage to enemies outside.
Zhang Liao's strategy was very simple. He relied on his own bows and crossbows to have a longer range than the Tang army, and used horseback shooting from outside the formation to gradually wear down the Tang army's existing troops in the Longmen formation.
The Longmen Formation of the Tang Army was divided into ten small formations. Thousands of shields were placed in front of the formation to defend against the Qin Army's arrows. However, this alone could not protect all the soldiers, and the Qin Army's crossbows This is the group of people.
“Li Shimin, your Dragon Gate Formation is indeed powerful. I, Zhang Liao, cannot break it, but I can still defeat you without breaking it.” Zhang Liao said to himself with a faint smile.
Although the strong bows and crossbows of the Qin army were sharp, they could not break the shields of the Tang army. However, if the projectile method was used, the arrows could still be shot into the Longmen formation, but the accuracy was naturally greatly reduced.
Under Zhang He and Xu Huang's turnaround and ejection tactics, the Tang soldiers without shields were shot to death by the Qin army's crossbow arrows before they had time to dodge, but the number was not large.
Of the 14,000 arrows fired by the Qin army in each round, about 10,000 hit the shield. Only 4,000 arrows could threaten the Tang army. However, their accuracy was poor. Only about 10,000 of the Tang army were actually shot. Nearly two hundred people.
Fourteen thousand arrows could only kill 200 Tang soldiers, accounting for only one 250th of the Tang army.
Judging from the data alone, the Qin army could completely annihilate the Tang army with 250 rounds of arrows.
But the fact is that even if it was done, it would be impossible to kill as many Tang troops as Liao, and the Qin army did not have that many arrows at all.
Zhang Liao saw that Zhang He and Xu Huang's army fired four rounds in a row, consuming 56,000 arrows, but only killed less than a thousand Tang troops. He felt a little dissatisfied with the efficiency of killing the enemy.
“Report...to the general, Mrs. Mu sent someone to deliver the advice of Military Advisor Jia.”
