    There was a dull sound of drums and horns in Wang Shichong's army, and the 50,000-strong army began to form an army. There were 5,000 people per army, which was the standard small army formation. Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng each led an army, mainly infantry, holding  Wearing long hats, wearing heavy armor, shouting slogans, they walked to the front and stretched out. The infantry were shoulder to shoulder, close together, each forming an array about one mile wide and about ten lines in a dense formation.  , the two armies were separated by about three hundred steps, forming the outermost line of defense.  Mobile phone visit m Following Guo Shiheng and Yang Gongqing, Liu Shili and Wang Renze each led 5,000 medium infantry, wearing mail armor, and the length of their long spears was slightly shorter than that of the previous two formations. Among these two formations, there were a large number of  Archers and crossbowmen, in addition to maintaining the front line, also provide bow and arrow support for the two front formations.  The two formations are still about ten columns wide, but the distance between the formations is about 200 steps, which is much shorter than the previous two formations.  Brothers Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu each led a formation. Their troops were quite large. Compared with the usual phalanx of 5,000 men, each had 2,000 more troops. This was the Wang family's cavalry specially strengthened by Wang Shichong. These two formations  The width of the front formation is the same as that of the front formation, but there is cavalry cover on the outside. If necessary, they can be charged directly from the outside to support the front formation. The infantry is the elite Huainan infantry with double heavy armor. As the core of the entire army, it is also used to  It is used to resist the enemy's formation-breaking assault. The width of the formation gate is only about a hundred steps.  After the two formations of Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu, there are Fei Qingnu and Lai Zheng, each with eight thousand troops and horses, and an equal number of infantry and cavalry. These two formations are also the final bottom line of the entire army and the last barrier before the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army. This  Sixteen thousand infantry and cavalry are elite soldiers who have followed Wang Shichong for many years and fought almost all over the world. They started from Yuan Cong. Whether they can repel Li Tangjun's crazy attack today depends entirely on these gates.  There is only about fifty steps between the two armies, which can be said to be airtight. Laizheng and Fei Qingnu's eyes are bright, each holding a silver spear and a big ax, standing behind the formation. Today, for  Defensively, these two brave generals who were unstoppable when attacking could no longer be the first to attack.  Liu Heitai led 3,000 infantrymen and archers in formation on the flank near Gushui, and exchanged insults with Li Shiji across the river.  Here at the last central army, a commander's flag with the word "king" fluttered high in the wind. Shen Guang and Shan Xiongxin each led three thousand cavalry, all equipped with armor and cavalry, standing in front of Wang Shichong, and two thousand  The Rui warriors of the Wang family squatted on the ground, put their long spears on the ground, and stuck two swords on their backs. If all the defenses in front failed, these two thousand foot warriors of the Wang family would be the last resort to protect Wang Shichong's life and safety.  In the Guards, Wang Shichong himself was sitting behind him in a large robe and armor, calm and calm, holding a baton. Behind him, five hundred war drums were lined up, and a thousand naked men were holding huge weapons.  With just one command of the drumsticks, thousands of drums will sound in unison!  Wang Shichong's eyes sparkled with green light. He looked at the battlefield in front of him. The fog had gradually dispersed, and the Tang army on the opposite side had also begun to set up their formation. Wei Zheng's eyes were bright, pointing at the formation of the Tang army, and explained to Wang Shichong one by one.  , almost the same as when he saw it, the Tang army was still in the same military formation, with ten guardsmen lined up in order. It was similar to Wang Shichong's crane wing formation, but the Tang army was composed of about 10,000 people.  The number of teams is more than double that of Huaqiangjun's teams here, and the width of the entire formation is also different.  Wei Zheng sighed: "Lord, if we extend our troops like this and expand directly, the gap left in the middle is too big. If the Tang army wants to attack the center of our army, what should we do?" Wang Shichong said coldly: "This  This is the essence of the Crane Wing Formation. Our army extends diagonally to both sides, which can maximize our frontal expansion. Now our army is on this plain, with a lot of troops, but it is still less than the Tang army on the opposite side.  If they take advantage of their strength to bypass our army's right side and attack from the side, it will be difficult for us to resist. In the last battle of Xiyuan, Li Shimin attacked from our army's flank.  Going forward to fight Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, the same is true, so we must protect our sides." At this point, Wang Shichong turned his head and glanced at the Gushui on the left, and said: "The Gushui on the left separates us from the enemy.  Li Shiji, this thief is cunning and will not attack first. Our army only needs to send two thousand people to defend it as we do now. It can be said that our army's left wing is blocked by a river, so you can rest assured, but there is no natural barrier on the right side.  Only by extending the front of our army for more than five miles and connecting with the dense forest can we effectively block the roundabout flank attack of the Tang army's cavalry. This is the fundamental reason why I must open up the formation." Wang Shichong pointed his baton forward and said with a smile.  : "As for the distance between the two formations of our army, taking this crane wing as an example, it ranges from three hundred steps to two hundred steps to one hundred steps to fifty steps. If the enemy ignores the two wings of our army and directly attacks the center, then  It will only allow the two flanks of our army to attack its flanks. Even if there are thousands of troops, they will definitely fail. Only they will eat up our army's front line one by one.Only with each formation can we hit our center. This is the fundamental reason why Heyi Formation is called the strongest defensive formation!  " Shen Guang smiled and said: "My lord is well versed in the art of war, and his subordinates are impressed. With such a strong defensive formation, coupled with the strong combat effectiveness of our Huainan infantry, it is impossible for the Tang army to break the formation!  " Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light: "No, the Tang army is commanded by Li Shimin. Its strength is more than twice that of our army, but its combat power is equivalent. If we set up the formation like this, we can only delay as much time as possible, and it is impossible to truly defeat Li Shimin.  The teams in front were ordered not to support each other casually, nor to take turns, but to firmly hold their positions.  " As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Wei Zheng asked curiously: "No support, no rotation?  What does this mean?  If the infantry meets the formation head-on, they will definitely get tired after fighting for a while and need to be rotated. If the front army cannot withstand it, the rear army needs to move up to meet the front formation. This is the normal way of fighting!  "Wang Shichong sighed: "That is routine, but this battle cannot be routine. Li Shimin is also competing for time. You see, he is not marching normally now, but running on foot and cavalry. He has no regard for the physical strength of the soldiers.  , because he also knows that the army in the rear cannot hold back for too long. If our army's defense line cannot be defeated around noon, then he will be in danger. Therefore, he will definitely attack with all his strength. If our army rotates normally, the formation will be  Changes, once the position is lost, and the cavalry is forced to charge head-on, there is a possibility of instant collapse. Therefore, give me the order, no rotation, no rescue, no retreat without my military order, fight with the Tang army without retreating.  Got it!  " Having said this, Wang Shichong curled his lips, stared at Tang Jun opposite, and murmured: "Li Shimin, what method will you use to break my crane wings?  " In the middle of the Tang army, under the commander's flag, Li Shimin's eyes flashed coldly: "It's actually Heyi, hum, it's really Wang Laoxie, send the order, train wheel formation, spin attack!  "
