Wei Ni

The war entered a fever pitch as soon as it began.

After decades of conquest, the Wei army can be called a tiger and wolf army in terms of military discipline, morale, and military formation coordination, especially the Luoyang Central Army, which was selected to guard the capital and outside. Moreover, now that we have traveled thousands of miles to the north to fight, everyone is eager to return home, and they all risk their lives and move forward bravely, hoping to quickly tear apart the enemy's formation and return home victorious.

But they are destined to go through a hard battle.

Not only because the three thousand Xianbei infantry fighting them head-on were well-armored and well-armed elites that Kirby took twenty years to form, but also because every infantryman was selected from the tribe at different levels. Warriors, everyone has received great kindness from Kirby, so today when facing battle, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.

"Today's battle is about progress."

This is the only order Kirby can give them before the fierce battle begins.

And when the three captains took the order and went forward, they encouraged the infantry to fight to the death, "The one who repays the kindness of the tribe master will be in the court!"

It also made the Xianbei infantry all shout to fight fiercely and not be afraid of death.

For a time, he was able to fight with the elites of Wei's central army, and they were evenly matched.

A quarter of an hour passed
Half an hour passed.
The Wei army advancing with the Yuli Formation was actually pinned down when the Xianbei infantry refused to give in. Even the prone corpses of the enemy and ourselves were piled on top of each other on the ground, but they still did not push the battle line any further.

If you can't fight for a long time, your energy will be damaged.

Of course Tian Yu, who was watching the battle in the formation, also knew this.

If the battle is still stalemate after half an hour, then no matter how slow the battlefield sense is, the Xianbei Rangers will be able to complete the outflank.

Therefore, he frequently looked back, trying to find the figure of the soldier who had just been sent to find Qin Lang.

It's a pity that every time it is in vain.

At the rear of the Xianbei army, the leaders of the various ministries were also paying close attention to the battlefield. At this time, most of them looked happy and had bright eyes.

They never imagined that the prairie men who had always ruled the roost on horseback would one day be able to fight with infantry on a par with the elites of Wei's central army.

This allowed them to see the dawn of victory——

Even the infantry are so brave. When their more elite rangers complete the outflank, how can the Wei army resist?
Therefore, many tribal leaders also generously requested Kirby's orders.

He claimed that he would personally lead the cavalry to defeat the Wei army.

"The opportunity has not yet come, leaders, please do not be impatient."

Kirby, who looked solemn but had a hint of joy in his eyes, replied to them like this, and also gave them a few words of encouragement for their request.

It is true that the time has not come yet.

It has been less than an hour since the fierce battle began, and the gelatinous battle situation is still confusing. Changes may occur suddenly at any time. He cannot put all his cards on the table at this time.

In particular, the person who arranged the war for the Wei army before the battle was Tian Yu, who was feared by all the nomadic tribes in northern Xinjiang.

Let's wait and see for another half hour.

Well, if the battle between the tribal leaders is fierce and the battle situation is still going smoothly, just wait for two quarters of an hour.
Kirby could think silently in his mind.

Perhaps, even he himself did not realize that he, who had always been decisive, was too worried about gains and losses in this war that decided whether he could become the Shanyu who commanded all the Xianbei tribes.

Sometimes, caution can win the day.

But more often than not, pursuing stability blindly will result in the loss of great opportunities, loss of one's own advantages, and no chance to reverse the situation of the war.

This is how Kirby delayed the opportunity to fight. Because Qin Lang, who has always been worried and cautious, no longer seeks stability this time.

But it was said that after Tian Yu discovered that there were thousands of Xianbei's front infantry wearing armor, he sent a personal guard to look for Qin Lang, not only to inform him of this discovery that could affect the battle situation, but also to target him. Recommendations were made.

This suggestion is to obtain Qin Lang's approval and make comprehensive adjustments to the tactical deployment.

Yes, it is an almost subversive adjustment.

One is the gradual change of formation.

The front soldiers of both sides were all wearing fine armor, which also meant that it was difficult for anyone to kill the other. This not only made the battle more anxious, but also affected the pace of the Wei army's previous advance with the Fish Formation.

If the Wei army cannot continue to advance the front to the rear of the Xianbei army, the Wei army will be restrained by the mobility of the Xianbei rangers.

Therefore, Tian Yu wanted Qin Lang to order the infantry in the rear formation to slowly shrink the vehicle formation at the rear of the two wings, and finally closed it into a circular formation, in order to resist the subsequent Xianbei Rangers' tactics of outflanking the rear formation in a roundabout way.

Naturally, the rear formation is closed, and the various cavalry units remaining on standby beside Qin Lang will also be isolated.

In response to this, Tian Yu also made suggestions.

That is the second step of deployment adjustment.

He wanted Qin Lang to send five hundred tiger cavalry to escort Da Huang into the formation, and instead put it under his control.

The Hussar Battalion, Youzhou Jingqi, the Eastern Xianbei Rangers who surrendered to Wei, and the Southern Xiongnu Rangers who were placed on guard on both wings were all led by Qin Lang himself, pressing the left wing and advancing slowly, waiting to see the Xianbei front infantry disintegrate. At that time, I was looking forward to Kirby's ability to drive in the field and strive to seal the victory in one fell swoop.

As for why Tian Yu dared to claim that Xianbei's front infantry would collapse, he did not explain in detail, but Qin Lang knew it without thinking - Tian Yu directly asked for the command of five hundred tiger cavalry.

And thirdly, Tian Yu was not making suggestions.

Instead, he asked a question.

He said: "Although King Rencheng has passed away long ago, there are still Hulu tribesmen in the frontier fortress today who are afraid of his name. Now the general has also served as a knight, and has been registered in the clan of Sheji. I wonder if he dares to revive the power of the knight?"

Even the gentle Qin Lang couldn't help but tremble slightly after hearing these words.

Although he could guess the reason why Tian Yu was so shameless.

It was just that when making decisions before the battle, he was a little cautious and cautious, which made Tian Yu feel that he did not dare to lead the cavalry into the formation.

But he was still a little angry.

There is an order of superiority and inferiority. How can a deputy be aggressive towards the main general!
Furthermore, Tian Yu never thought that if he knew that Kirby Neng had accumulated so much armor for his direct clan members, would he still insist on fighting with the Yuli Formation?
Of course, no matter whether he is angry or not, Qin Lang will not care about it at this time.

He tried to control his emotions, calmed down as much as possible, and considered whether to take Tian Yu's suggestion.

Thinking like this lasted for two quarters of an hour.

When an endless stream of soldiers came from the front line and reported to him that "the front line is anxious, the enemy prisoners are tenacious, and even though our soldiers are trying their best, it is still difficult to advance even half a step," his face was cloudy. After a moment of uncertainty, his face finally turned ferocious and he let out a deep breath.

After a while.

Tian Yu, whose brows were already furrowed and had long since stopped looking back to see if his soldiers had returned, suddenly heard the heavy sound of horse hoofbeats. He turned back in surprise, letting his eyebrows and smile stretch in the wind.

He saw the Chinese army's large banner and five hundred tiger cavalry slowly approaching. (End of chapter)
