Outside Kaifeng City, on the banks of the Bianshui River.

As autumn gradually rose, the horns fell back, and the solemn aura enveloped the huge military camp. Two rectangular battle formations stood facing each other, with military flags standing in front of each other, and the soldiers and armor reflected, and one side was covered with red clothes and red armor boiling like fire.

One side was wearing white clothes and white armor as cold as frost.

On the high platform on one side of the field, Zhao Kuangyin, wearing golden dragon-patterned armor, stood upright with bright eyes, and secretly compared the appearance of the two sides. Behind him were nearly a hundred imperial guards, who were full of stars and gathered with warriors.

Today I gather here mainly to see the true appearance of the new army with my own eyes and make a correct judgment on the future situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the results of this military exercise will directly affect the strategic deployment of the Song Dynasty, break the balance between countries, and then trigger a new round of war, and ultimately change the general trend of the world. The most important thing is that the new army is all made by warriors.

After the training, it was formed and had nothing to do with the general lineage, completely breaking the tradition of the imperial guards for decades. Once the new army wins the military exercise, it means that a brand new force will enter the center of power of the Song Dynasty and become the sharp blade in Zhao Kuangyin's hand.

.

The generals of the imperial guards were mixed, but they could not have any objections. In order to control the military power, Zhao Kuangyin even dealt with his brothers, let alone others?

In troubled times, it is better to believe in others than to believe in yourself!

Under the Flying Battle Banner, Li Jiheng raised his eyes to the enemy formation from afar, his blood was boiling, and his palms were sweating slightly - he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally he waited for the day to prove his ability!

He knew very well the importance of this military exercise, and was eager to defeat Tianyong Camp in one fell swoop and trampled Fu Jingtao's halo under his feet! Compared with the new recruits who had only been training for two months on the other side, his generals and soldiers were

The elite imperial guards were all experienced in many battles. Moreover, Fu Jingtao was a military layman. He had neither learned military strategies nor practical experience in leading the army. How could he understand the mystery of placing troops and formations?

In this battle, Tianwu Camp not only wants to win, but also win beautifully!

It was noon on the sun, and the yang energy was the strongest, dong dong dong! Three cannons sounded.

The military exercise officially began.

Tianyong and Tianwu armies were separated by 800 steps, and there were no trees or gullies in the middle. They could not use conspiracies and tricks. They could only face the gongs and the opponents were fighting head-on by strength. Which side's battle formation collapsed first, which would be convenient for them to be

Decide to lose.

"Beat the drum! The whole army advances!!" Li Jiheng boldly ordered an active attack.

The fierce and rapid battle drums sounded, the battle flag of the Tianwu Army swayed, and rows of soldiers stalked forward, with their armor clanging, as if a tiger showed its hideous claws. The indestructible fighting spirit was boiling in the sky, with strong winds blowing, dust flying, and rustling

The coldness instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

The military soul is invisible, and I am frightened to look at it.

Zhao Kuangyin's lips were tightly pursed, and the imperial guards praised Li Jiheng for his good training and that the Tianwu Army was really a tiger and wolf army.

Suddenly, the silent and cold Tianyong Camp moved. Boom! Nearly four hundred infantrymen raised their right feet at the same time and took a heavy step forward, causing the earth to tremble. Their strides were consistent and their movements were uniform, regardless of horizontality, verticality, and slant

It looks like a straight line, and the entire formation remains unchanged as it moves, like a mountain of steel moving forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of stairs lifted and fell alternately at the same time, bringing a strong visual impact - the momentum was like a mountain of iron crushing, and everything turned into powder!

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "What a Tianyong Camp! What a Fu Jingtao!"

All the generals and generals were moved. They had led their troops for many years and knew how difficult it was to train hundreds of soldiers to such a level. Compared with the terrifyingly orderly Tianyong Camp, the speed of the generals and soldiers in Tianwu Camp was uneven.

The steps are chaotic, and the formation has been bent and deformed while advancing. Once the two armies collide at the center line, the Tianwu Camp, which has a relatively loose formation, is likely to be ruthlessly penetrated.

Li Jiheng was not blind, so how could he not see the special features of his opponent? He made a quick decision to order the entire army to turn right, seize a mound in the middle of the battlefield, and reorganize the formation.

In a moment, the Tianwu Camp unfolded layer by layer based on the terrain. Shieldmen, crossbowmen, archers, and swordsmen stood in line in sequence. The cavalry protected the two wings. The officers at all levels shouted loudly to make the final mobilization before the war.

When a soldier encounters a war in the wild, whoever can take the initiative will have the right to take the initiative. As for the side that attacks from bottom to top, it will always suffer a loss.

The Tianwu Camp occupied the only commanding heights in the field and waited for work. The next step is to see how Tianyong Camp broke through and how it reversed its disadvantages.

"Dongdong!Dong--!" As the drum beats changed, the infantrymen of Tianyong Camp stopped three hundred steps away from the mound. Suddenly, the military flag swayed, and nearly a hundred cavalry staying behind were connected in a row,

He shouted and started charging, his iron hooves flew, rolling up dust in the sky.

"Enemy attack! Reject!"

Boom! The shield soldiers standing in the first row of Tianwu Camp inserted the bottom of the big shield into the soil, shoulder-to-shoulder, lowered their heads and hid behind the shield, ready to face the impact of the iron cavalry. The crossbow soldiers raised the crossbow, and the archer pulled the arrows to respond.

Xian, each stared at the target and waited for the order to shoot. The cavalry on both sides showed off their weapons to accumulate strength and attacked them when the enemy retreated.

The sound of hooves is like thunder, and the battle is about to break out.

The cavalrymen of Tianyong Camp were only half-body light armor, holding sabers, galloping like flying, like a long dragon attacking at high speed. Seeing that they were about two hundred steps away from the mound, the cavalry suddenly changed direction and unexpectedly drew a huge mark.

The arc bypassed the Tianwu Camp formation. The cavalry waved their sabers, screamed, mocked, scolded, and tried to provoke their opponents in different ways.

The generals and soldiers of the Tianwu Camp were so angry that their hair stood upside down, but the military order had not been issued, and no one dared to shoot arrows without authorization. In fact, if they fire crossbow arrows at this distance, it would be difficult to hit the target that was moving quickly.

Li Jiheng frowned unconsciously. The opponent's cavalry was too fast. Did he want to go around behind and launch an attack? Immediately mobilize the cavalry on both wings to defend the rear formation.

Unexpectedly, the cavalrymen of Tianyong Camp were running around the mound and returned to the front of the formation. Then they gathered again to rush forward, and their iron hooves hit the ground, coming in full force.

The generals and soldiers of Tianwu Camp tensed their nerves and stared at the enemy without a moment.

"Ah, a bunch of idiots!" "Idiots!" "Just eat the dirt!" The cavalry used their same tricks again, but they were still walking around the formation two hundred steps away, showing off their power and showing off their power was very arrogant and abominable.

Li Jiheng's heart sank, what a cunning Fu Jingtao! The cavalry continued to put pressure on but did not attack, forcing the Tianwu Camp to maintain a high alert state and constantly exhaust their physical and fighting spirit. The main force of Tianyong Camp is to accumulate energy, but if it is not moving, it will be

Already, a single move is a thunder strike! There is often a great uncertainty in the confrontation between the two armies. Any weak link that is caught by the opponent may be defeated.
