    Zhang Wenyuan was even more delighted when he saw that the Turks were disorganized in their resistance.  He directed the crowd to divide into three arrows and outflank the Turks.

    Al Lei broke through early and escaped from the camp, while the Turks behind them tried their best to break through to the northwest, and Zhang Wenyuan was unable to catch up.

    The entire Turkic camp was in chaos, with screams, groans, and pleas everywhere.  Because Zheng Yanqing destroyed the Turkic stables first, the horses fled in all directions and rushed madly towards the Turkic camps, causing constant stampedes.  Therefore, many Turks who broke through did not have horses and were desperately moving forward on two legs.

    The Sui troops on horseback chased around, waving their swords constantly, hacking down the Turkic cavalry who collapsed one by one.

    On the entire grassland, which is one or twenty miles to the northwest, there are corpses of Turks everywhere. Their broken bodies and arms are spread all over the grassland, dyeing the grass bright red.

    There were fewer and fewer cavalry around Arre, and they gradually dispersed in all directions.

    Only twenty miles out of the camp, a menacing cavalry force suddenly crashed into Alley's troops.  Seeing this, Arre was greatly frightened. Why were there Sui armies on all sides? How many Sui armies were there?

    The Art of War says: "Encircle three towers and one tower." This strategy is also the same as "Encircle the division and must guard the tower." It is one of the eight principles for using troops in warfare listed by Sun Wu in "The Art of War: Military Struggle" by Sun Wu.  This means that when the siege party is attacking, no matter whether you have the ability to completely wipe out the enemy, you must leave a seemingly "way of survival" for the enemy, so that the enemy commander can waver between escaping or fighting to the death.  At the same time, it also demoralized the enemy soldiers and prevented them from fighting to the death with the siege army.  This move is an extremely vicious move used when attacking a city in ancient times and even in modern times, but it is very useful.

    Leaving a gap does not mean leaving it alone, but setting up an ambush at the place where the enemy must pass to escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush during the hasty escape.

    Huang Mingyuan likes to use this move very much. Even when his own troops are far less than the enemy's, he will preset an ambush circle. This has almost become a routine for Huang Mingyuan's military use.

    The ancient war was a face-to-face fight between the two sides, and what was more important was the battle of morale.  Once an army chooses to break out, its morale will drop sharply and its morale will be unstable.  At this time, any disturbance can cause confusion or even collapse in the other party.

    Zhang Wenyuan didn¡¯t know how the battle would turn out before the battle. After all, the fighting power of the Turks should not be underestimated.  The strength of the two sides is quite equal. If a stalemate occurs, it is easy for the Turks to hold them back.

    Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan's attack tactics before the battle were determined to be "fast". Before the opponent could react, he would penetrate directly into the Chinese army and tear apart the opponent's defense line. Then he would use the speed of the cavalry to penetrate from both wings and cut off the Chinese army and the surrounding troops.  connect.  Finally, the divided Turkic armies were annihilated one by one.  Of course, Zhang Wenyuan also expected that the Turks might resist desperately, and the two sides would inevitably have to fight.

    Zhang Wenyuan did not expect that the Turks would directly choose to break out. This possibility was almost zero in the pre-war plan.  But according to the habits learned by the Datong generals who followed Huang Mingyuan, no matter how small the troops are, reserve troops and possible ambushes are indispensable.  Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan deployed a cavalry force in the northwest where the Turks were most likely to break out. It was also the headquarters of Huang Mingzheng, the most powerful Sui army, and the main cavalry force of Datong.

    The First Cavalry Army is Huang Mingyuan¡¯s most adept at long-distance attacks. This time, in order to catch up with the battle, they made a circle and came back from the north.  The army rushed all the way for seven or eight hours before arriving at the designated location, and did not rest all night.

    Of course Zhang Wenyuan will not let this army be a passerby.  Therefore, his original arrangement was that when his main force was in a stalemate with the Turks, Huang Mingzheng suddenly attacked from behind the Turks, and the two sides formed a flanking situation.

    But no matter how he thought about it, Zhang Wenyuan never expected that the Turks would just choose to escape without fighting, and all his arrangements would be in vain.

    Huang Mingzheng, who was heading towards the Turkic camp in a roundabout way, happened to encounter Alley's troops who broke out of the encirclement at this time.  Alley did not know the situation of the Sui army in the first place, and he fled because he was worried about being wiped out.  At this time, he saw that the opponent actually had an ambush, and his suspicions became more determined at this time. The Sui army was the main force.

    Huang Mingzheng was also stunned when the two sides met unexpectedly.  However, Huang Mingzheng's cavalry army is unparalleled in the world in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. They have been fighting against the Turks for a long time and have a psychological advantage over the Turks. When they suddenly encounter an enemy, they will react immediately.

    Huang Mingzheng immediately ordered the army to disperse and form a reverse wild goose formation.

    The wild goose formation is a horizontally expanded formation.The reverse wild goose formation of the Ming Dynasty is a battle formation arranged in a backward echelon.  The main purpose of this formation is to outflank and roundabout, and the defense of the front army is relatively weak.  It is mostly used in conjunction with cavalry and infantry, and is generally not a common formation for cavalry.

    But this time Huang Mingzheng went in the opposite direction, trying to surround the scattered Turks with a mere 400 men.  Normally, it would be quite risky for Huang Mingzheng to use this formation. The weak wings and front army would be broken into a sieve by the opponent's cavalry.

    But now when Huang Mingzheng saw a large number of Turks heading northwest, he immediately realized that the Turks were defeated and were breaking out.  He did not expect that the Turks would be defeated so quickly, but at this time he must try his best to stop the Turks, wait for Zhang Wenyuan's troops to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate them.

    If Alley chooses to reorganize his formation at this time, even if he cannot win, he will still be able to contain Huang Mingzheng and allow more of his men to escape.  But this nerdy figure had long forgotten about counterattack at this time. The frightened Alley once again made the wrong choice and continued to break through regardless of the Sui army's obstruction.

    This decision made Alley¡¯s men shocked and anxious, but without the guidance of Alley¡¯s banner, how could they organize a breakout on the chaotic battlefield.

    Huang Mingzheng was stunned when he saw the Turks fleeing in all directions, like wolves running like hogs, without any plan.  He chose to take a gamble, and now he succeeded.

    The reverse flying goose formation of the First Cavalry Army attacked the defeated Turkic army from both sides. The Sui Army's cavalry swept across the entire battlefield like a flood that broke a bank.

    The ambush in front and the pursuing troops in the rear squeezed into the middle of the Turks. The defeated Turks subconsciously fled to both sides, which further caused the Turks' formation to fall apart.

    Huang Ming's expedition also followed the chaotic Turks and divided them into countless fighting groups of twos and threes, chasing the Turks everywhere and defeating them.  At this time, we can see the benefits of Huang Mingyuan's emphasis on grassroots combat organizations.  Although the various combat groups of the Sui army were in chaos, their minds were not chaotic. They each had their own goals and cooperated with each other.

    Huang Mingyuan watched the Turks running away like pigs on the opposite side. With a wave of his hand, the whole army attacked, setting up nets on all sides to catch the pigs.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
