Shangguan Qingcheng nodded slightly, as an expression of understanding.
Seeing that Shangguan Qingcheng didn't intend to stop, Li Maozhen said strangely: "They have more than 200,000 soldiers, and you have less than 70,000 elite cavalry here. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to attack Luoyankou?"
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't have much to say, and only responded to Li Maozhen with one word: "War."
This kind of reaction is obviously in line with Li Maozhen's temper. She frowned and gave a thumbs up, "I admire your courage. If that's the case, I will fight for you!"
An hour later, the Spike Army came to Luoyankou.
This is not a place with high mountains and steep mountains.
In front of the wasteland stretched out two huge hillsides, one on the left and one on the right, and the highest point was less than twenty feet. However, the mountain stretches extremely wide, so it forms a natural favorable terrain. The middle passage is very spacious, exceeding a hundred feet. The whole landform is shaped like wild goose wings, hence the name Luoyanpo.
The north slope is adjacent to the river, and the south is adjacent to the mountain, so there is no way to bypass it—of course, if you are willing to walk an extra hundred miles, then of course you don’t have to go through Luoyankou.
It's just that, it would be too much to delay the fighter.
Now, on the gentle slopes on both sides, the cavalry of the Shatuo tribe have gathered, and at a glance, they are very powerful, each with a number of no less than 50,000. In the huge passage in the middle, there is an endless battle formation of infantry, with spears and halberds like a forest, and there are horse traps in front of the formation.
Obviously, the Shatuo people's defense system is very complete.
Li Maozhen frowned and said: "If you divide your troops to attack the cavalry on a gentle slope, the opponent has an advantage. Once the offensive is blocked, the infantry in the passage will encircle and the army will fall into the mud; Another cavalry strikes from behind;
"And if there is a well-defended infantry formation in the attack channel, the cavalry on both sides will kill and cut off our army formation from the flanks... No matter how you look at it, the opponent's formation is very strict, There are no breaches and weak spots."
She glanced at Shangguan Qingcheng, "the other party has a lot of big monks, and we are not superior in number. It seems that they are the shaman envoys of Khitan. As long as the other party does not want to work hard, it will be difficult for us to defeat them in a short time."
Li Maozhen's analysis is very reasonable, that's what the battlefield looks like in her eyes.
But this is not the battlefield in Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes.
She said: "It seems to be strict. In fact, the battle was formed hastily, lack of preparation, and there are flaws everywhere."
Shangguan Qingcheng came to the conclusion: "It can be broken with one blow."
She raised the long spear in her hand, pointed to the center of the passage, and shouted: "Spike Army, move forward!"
Nearly 70,000 Spikes gradually increased their speed.
Li Maozhen shook her head, she couldn't understand why the same battlefield looked completely different in the eyes of the two. After thinking about it for a while, I can only attribute this to the difference between a military general and a famous military general.
Seeing that Shangguan Qingcheng was determined to fight, Li Maozhen did not hesitate, and led the big monks behind him to meet the shaman envoy team that fell over Yankou.
When Shangguan Qingcheng raised his hand and clenched his fist, the Spike Army's fine cavalry galloped to the battle speed, the power of the battle formation exploded, and the raging spiritual energy gushed out, wrapping the general formation into a huge sharp arrow again.
Shangguan Qingcheng turned out to ignore the Shatuo cavalry on the hillsides on both sides, and rushed directly to the infantry formation in the passage.
Not only Li Maozhen and others were taken aback, but even the Shatuo cavalry on the hillside were in a commotion, with laughter and mocking whistles in the middle.
The infantry formation was fortified layer by layer, and the horse traps in front were enough to withstand the cavalry charge.
The Spike Army has several fighting styles, but Shangguan Qingcheng chose the worst one.
This is the view of Shatuo people.
They don't see it that way anytime soon.
Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes shaking the ground, when the Spike Army rushed to the horse pit, Shangguan Qingcheng raised his hand, and countless sacks filled with sand flew out of the army formation, like locusts.
The sandbag that flew out of the monk's hand fell into the horse pit accurately after being guided by Shangguan Qingcheng and with the blessing of the battle formation.
The most fearful thing for cavalry to charge into battle is to be trapped in a horse pit. Any experienced cavalry commander will be prepared to deal with it when he is about to fight the infantry.
Li Maozhen had already told Shangguan Qingcheng the size and depth of the horse pit, so she was prepared.
If it is an ordinary cavalry, they will turn before the horse trap, and the soldiers will throw sandbags into the pit, wait for the tunnel to be filled, and then go back and rush over.
The formation of famous military strategists does not need to be so troublesome.
Raindrops of sandbags fell into the pit one after another, and just as the tunnel was filled, the horseshoes of the cavalry stepped on it, and the whole process flowed smoothly without any delay.
Exclamations sounded from the gentle slopes on both sides.
The Shatuo cavalry, who were about to rush down from the hillside after the Spike Army's movements were delayed, were stunned by this scene.
In the infantry formation in front of the passage, there was a desperate wail.
Shangguan Qingcheng held up the long spear: "Break the formation!"
The power of a famous military strategist: break the formation!
There is no horse pit to hinder the Shatuo infantry formation of the Spike Army, and there is no follow-up means to defend against the impact of the fine cavalry. After the arrow rain is resisted by the battle formation field, the Spike Army with the power of the battle formation is like A fierce tiger rushed into the flock.
Those spears and halberds could not threaten the battlefield at all in front of the domain of famous generals.
Where the Spike Army passed by, Shatuo infantry and wild grass were generally flattened.
At this time, although the Shatuo cavalry on the hillsides on both sides rushed down, they couldn't bite the tail of the Spike Army at all.
If they forcefully pursued them, they would only knock into the air and trample to death the disorganized infantry companions.
The Spike Army broke through the formation, and the Shatuo infantry formation no longer existed.
There are only a group of stragglers rushing forward.
This group of stragglers did not survive for long.
Because after the Spike Army came out of battle, it quickly turned a big corner and came back with a round head.
The infantry soldiers who noticed the Spike Army's counterattack immediately thought of turning around and running away.
Just rushing down from the hillside, when the infantry formed to block the Spike Army, the Shatuo cavalry who attacked the flank of the Spike Army were scattered by the fleeing infantry companions in panic.
It horrified them.
No matter how they slashed and killed their infantry companions, they couldn't stop the opponent from collapsing; no matter how they roared and howled, they couldn't stop the Spike Army from rushing into their chaotic formation, killing them to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.

Only at this moment did Li Maozhen understand why Shangguan Qingcheng said that Shatuo's army formation was full of flaws.
The more than 200,000 Shatuo cavalry who relied on terrain fortification were defeated by the Spike Army so easily.
In the face of absolute strength, any idea of both offense and defense is just a fantasy.
When there are loopholes in the battlefield, the famous generals will seize the loopholes; when the enemy has no loopholes, the famous generals will also create loopholes for them.
This is the power of a famous general.
For the rest of the battle, the Spike Army was chasing and killing the defeated Shatuo people all over the mountains and plains.
The topography of the hillsides on both sides was conducive to the cavalry's charge at the beginning, but now it has become a magical obstacle that makes Shatuo's rout troops unable to run fast. ...
For a Qi cultivator, killing an ordinary person is as easy as crushing an ant; for a military general, there is no army led by a general, but a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
But for Shangguan Qingcheng, who led the Spike Army, all the armies in the world could be defeated in one battle.
The deterrent power of a famous general is not limited to the battlefield, not limited to the battlefield.
Destroying a country is just a matter of effort for famous generals.
The power of a generation of famous generals and military gods can shake the neighbors and make the four barbarians surrender.
...
By the afternoon of the battle, more than 200,000 Shatuo people had been killed.
The efficiency of the Spike Army is very fast, because Shangguan Qingcheng has issued military orders, and later changes will happen.
It would take a long time to kill more than 200,000 people, not to mention the pursuit of them all over the wasteland.
The Spike Army did not take prisoners, they were not many in number, and they had no time to allocate troops to guard the prisoners; and these Shatuo people were not enough to make Datang trust them again.
However, the misfortune still came.
Li Maozhen and the others have been fighting against the shaman envoys, so they were unable to monitor all directions. When the Rangers of the Spike Army sensed the arrival of a large number of enemy troops, the thunderous sound of horseshoes soon reached the ears of the soldiers of the Spike Army. middle.
What came was the encircling Khitan army, with as many as 300,000 troops led by Yelv Xienechi as the core!
"General, what should we do?" Deputy General Zhao Nianci of the Spike Army came to Shangguan Qingcheng's horse at the first time, and anxiously asked about the military order.
Of course her anxiety was justified.
The Spike Army broke through Xiazhou, rushed to Shatuo, and went through a great battle. Although the victory was quick, the pursuit lasted for a long time, and now the soldiers are very tired. Even if there is the power of the generals, without the response of the strength of the soldiers, the power of the battle formation will be greatly reduced.
Now, Khitan's 300,000 fresh troops are encircled, how will the Spike Army with less than 70,000 face it
Shangguan Qingcheng immediately stood at the highest point of the gentle slope, his eyes widened, and beyond the grassy slopes, he saw the Khitan cavalry rising like a tide.
She glanced at the battlefield under her feet, and suddenly realized that the battlefield at Luoyankou was specially selected by the Khitan for the Spike Army.
In such a vast terrain, without the assistance of infantry, pure cavalry would not be able to stand in formation at the spacious passage.
If the Spike Army separated two gentle slopes, the Khitan cavalry only needed to occupy the passage at the entrance of the valley to cut it into two pieces; but if they only occupied one gentle slope, it would be an isolated island in the vast ocean.
If less than 70,000 elite cavalry still occupy the valley, they will not be able to stop the Khitan army from attacking anyway.
Only when the infantry is closely guarded and camped at the entrance of the valley, can the cavalry have a foundation to rely on and be able to attack and defend.
For the Spike Army, Luoyankou was simply undefendable.
Attacking and defeating the enemy seemed too difficult for the exhausted Spike Army.
It's a life-and-death dilemma.
It is precisely because Zhao Nianci has seen through this point that he looks anxious.
Famous generals are not invincible.
But Shangguan Qingcheng did not hesitate.
She said: "Jie Feng and Arrow Array."
The front arrow formation is naturally an offensive formation, and it is an indomitable offensive formation. There is no retreat, no leeway. If the offense is frustrated, it is simply wishful thinking to change defenses.
These simple four words, uttered from Shangguan Qingcheng's mouth, although calm, Zhao Nianci felt its weight.
Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she gritted her teeth and said, "The last general takes orders!"
