    Chapter 248 What is Li Zhen going to do?

    The Muddy Waters River is located north of Daku. The Muddy Waters are long and winding and support a large population. They are called the Mother River by the Xueyantuo people.

    The water level of the Mushui River can only reach up to the knees during drought, but in summer, when there is frequent rain, the river water is several meters deep on average.

    Bazhuo gathered 30,000 elite soldiers and formed an array with his back to the Qinshui River. In Liu Xing's view, this undoubtedly violated a taboo among military strategists. However, Liu Xing was unable to persuade Bazhuo.

    The last battle with the Tang Army was still fresh in Bazhuo's memory. Bazhuo was deeply impressed by the Tang Army's long-range firepower.

    The nightmare that the Tang Army's musketeers brought to Ba Zhuo has been weighing on Ba Zhuo's mind.

    This also made Ba Zhuo lose the courage to attack proactively, and instead formed a formation with his back to the water, setting up a moon-quenching formation.

    The so-called Queyue Formation was a formation used by Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu to use infantry to deal with northern cavalry during the Southern Dynasties.

    All the troops lined up with their backs to the water to form a semicircle, and around the periphery of this semicircle was a round chariot. The chariot was used to resist the impact of the cavalry, while the infantry in the chariot used bows and arrows to resist the impact of the cavalry on the opposite side.  .

    Since the last time he was attacked by the Li Zhenbu Lancers, Ba Zhuo racked his brains and finally figured out how to deal with the Lancers.

    That is to use chariots to first block the charge of the lancers, and then use bows and arrows to kill the musketeers on the opposite side. This is similar to Liu Yu's Queyue Formation.

    For this reason, Bazhuo built 300 armored chariots in the past two years. The chariots built by the grassland people are nothing more than covering the outside of the chariots with a layer of iron. There are three soldiers on each chariot, using bows and arrows.  and spears, standing high to deal with the enemy's impact, while the iron skin can block the damage of the opponent's bows, arrows and bullets.

    And these three hundred chariots are also the source of Ba Zhuo's confidence to form an array.

    "What? Ba Zhuo formed an array with his back to the water?"

    On the grassland, Li Zhen was surprised when she heard Asang's report.

    "Your Highness, the Great Khan Bazhuo specially built 300 armored chariots to deal with the Tang Dynasty's lancers. He surrounded these 300 armored chariots into an arc, and the rest of the army was in this arc.  Within the form.¡±

    "Haha this Ba Zhuo is quite funny." Li Zhen burst out laughing.

    Xue Rengui asked Li Zhen: "Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

    Li Zhen said with a smile: "I laugh at this, I can't draw a tiger, but I'm like a dog."

    "What do you mean?" Everyone looked at Li Zhen.

    Li Zhen explained to everyone: "The Queyue Formation is indeed a good formation. The Southern Dynasty lacked cavalry, so Liu Yu, who was still a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had many chariots built to protect the infantry.  The protection of the chariot can also effectively prevent the cavalry from attacking, so Liu Yu defeated the foreign cavalry and won a complete victory."

    "This formation is good, but the problem is that Bazhuo used the wrong formation in the wrong place. This moon formation is used by infantry to deal with cavalry, but Bazhuo's army is all cavalry. As a result, it is restricted  Taking advantage of the cavalry's powerful impact is tantamount to trapping oneself in a cocoon."

    "This is true, then what tactics should we use to defeat Bazhuo?" Xue Rengui asked.

    Li Zhen chuckled and said: "Since Ba Zhuo has gathered all the troops together, his subordinates are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Let's ignore Ba Zhuo first and get rid of his subordinates first."

    "When Bazhuo loses his followers, his 30,000 troops may not even be able to fight."

    Li Zhen chuckled, with a proud look on his face.

    By the Qinshui River, Ba Zhuo formed a formation, waiting for the Tang army to show off with themselves.

    However, from a distance, the cavalry of the Tang Army could be seen stopping outside. Later, these Tang Army actually set up camp, but had no intention of attacking forward.

    Bazhuo felt very proud, thinking that this must be because the Tang army was afraid of his Queyue Formation and did not dare to move forward, so he set up camp.

    I believe that Tang Jun will attack us soon.

    So Bazhuo ordered the army to be on full alert. As long as the Tang army attacked, they would immediately defend with all their strength.

    On the first day, the Tang army did not come to attack, but kept digging trenches in front of the formation. The people of Xue Yantuo were a little confused, what on earth were the Tang army doing?

    The next day, the Tang army still did not attack and was still digging ditches. These ditches were connected together to form a blockade, enclosing Xue Yantuo's army in the center line.

    Ba Zhuo frowned. Did the Tang army want to admit defeat and not dare to attack their own Queyue Formation?

    ?Ba Zhuo was puzzled and wondered whether the Tang army was brewing some big conspiracy?  What on earth is Li Zhen going to do?

    On the third day, Ba Zhuo finally got the news that the main force of the Tang army was looting everywhere on the grassland and killing everyone they saw. In the past two days, more than a dozen tribes had been wiped out and tens of thousands of tribesmen had been captured.

    Hearing the news, Ba Zhuo was startled, thinking that no wonder the Tang army didn't come to attack his Queyue Formation. It turned out that they wanted to take a step back and wipe out the tribes under his command first!

    Bazhuo became anxious and immediately ordered his troops to attack, taking the initiative to challenge the Tang army.

    But he didn¡¯t want to be beaten back by a burst of gunfire from the Tang army.

    On the fourth day, more news came. The Tang army defeated thirty-eight tribes of Xue Yantuo in three days. Most of Xue Yantuo's tribesmen had become prisoners of the Tang army.

    When I heard the news, I was as shocked as thunder.

    Tang Jun¡¯s move is so powerful!

    My Queyue Formation is powerful, but it is very inconvenient to move, and it must be in a formation to be useful. If it is spread out, it will lose its original effect.

    But if you don¡¯t attack and you can¡¯t stop the Tang army from plundering, what should you do?

    At this time, Ba Zhuo thought of Liu Xing again.

    He called Liu Xing to him and said, "Sir, please save me, Xue Yantuo! If this continues, I, Xue Yantuo, will be completely destroyed by the Tang army."

    Liu Xing sighed, thinking that this Ba Zhuo had not listened to him for a long time, but now he is here to cram him. He is not a god and can solve anything.

    However, Liu Xing still said: "Great Khan, there is only one way now."

    "What can be done?" Ba Zhuo asked.

    "Immediately attack the Tang army, break the siege of the Tang army, and rescue the captured tribesmen. Otherwise, as time goes by, our army's morale will inevitably be unstable and this battle will not be fought."

    "Okay, I listen to you sir, but our army has charged more than a dozen times in the past two days, and they have all been pushed back by the Tang army's guns. How should we deal with the Tang army's muskets?"

    Liu Xing said: "Great Khan, we must concentrate our strength to attack now. Our army's three hundred tanks must not be used dispersedly. In my opinion, three hundred tanks attack from the front, and the cavalry is divided into three waves to follow the tanks.  Attack and break through the siege of the Tang army with overwhelming force. In this way, our army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
