"The enemy has advanced a hundred paces!" Several voices sounded at the same time, and an officer stood out from each of the crossbowmen behind him, pointed the well-wound divine arm bow in his hand to the sky, and then pulled the trigger in unison. Liu Yu saw through the telescope that those crossbow arrows first flew high, and then quickly fell, just falling into the ranks of attacking enemies.

"Enough distance, start firing!" The loud voice sounded again, the flag-bearer on the side of the crossbowman waved the small pennant in his hand, several rows of divine arm bows were neatly raised, the small flag fell, and a string sound suddenly sounded in the array, and thousands of crossbow arrows flew into the sky, falling on the heads of the brigade of foot soldiers with a terrifying scream, although many people raised their shields, some were shot and fell.

The rain of arrows made the attacking enemy speed up, and this was the main reason why Liu Yu launched the projectile, and when they got closer, the archers also joined in. For a moment, the air was full of arrows, and the enemy foot soldiers began to run wildly, and the fastest runner found a large net in front of him, but he could no longer contain himself.

The sound of falling and screaming sounded almost at the same time, and the enemy foot soldiers of the brigade were blocked from the barbed wire, the men in front fell on them, and the people behind were still squeezed and stepped on, and the original momentum of the charge suddenly became chaotic.

"Teams launch on their own!" With Liu Yu's order, the crossbowmen began to wave the weapons in their hands to their heart's content, harvesting the lives not far away without hindrance. The tens of thousands of swordsmen and spearmen and generals in the formation were stunned and became spectators, and Li Tingzhi suddenly found that he could still fight like this in the field, and it was so easy to kill people.

He saw with his own eyes that an enemy soldier was very clever enough to put a large shield under his feet, but the exposed body immediately became the best target for arrows, and it must be said that the enemy was still very brave, they used the corpses of their colleagues as pedals, and they still tried to rush at them relentlessly.

But there were four barbed wires, and by the time someone was about to climb the third, the entire attacking team had already suffered heavy losses and could no longer sustain it. The retreating enemy was taken care of again by the bow and arrow without accident, Li Tingzhi roughly estimated that no more than 30% of them could go back alive, and in a short period of time, the enemy threw thousands of corpses in front of this barbed wire.

After the enemy retreated, the pikemen in the front row drew their spears and stepped forward, but their task was not to kill, but to use their spears to pick apart the corpses and other things covered in the barbed wire so that they could meet the next round of enemy attacks, and of course make up for the undead enemies.

"Alas, it's a pity!" Liu Yu muttered to himself and looked ahead, as if he was not satisfied with the result.

"What a pity?" Li Tingzhi looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"There are no more wires, only these four lines can be laid, and if the enemy is still so desperate next time, it is unknown that he may break through." Liu Yu said what he said in his heart, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, fortunately, the enemy couldn't find something like a door panel, otherwise it would have been cracked.

Li Tingzhi smiled dumbly, what if they broke through, under such a heavy blow, how could they face the sword and gun shield wall behind them? Not to mention the infantry, even the charge of the Tartar cavalry is likely to be ineffective, don't you see the few Tartar messengers who crashed into the net and were captured alive, this will still be tied to the back.

This time, Dong Wenbing, who was behind the battle, clearly saw how the iron net worked, and the Han army Qianhu who was killed did not lie, but now he can only make a mistake, he has no time to regret it, and how to break that thing is the top priority.

The attack jointly launched by him and Azihan lost more than 5,000 foot soldiers in total, and he could not be sent to death like this, and it had to be decided with one blow. After asking the generals who had fled, Dong Wenbing roughly understood what the net was.

For a while, he immediately remembered the long ladder used to cross the moat during the siege, but unfortunately, last night's siege operation consumed all these things prepared in the camp, which is also the reason why he stopped the siege later, so now, what should I do?

There are still return cannons in the battalion, but when they are moved here, I am afraid that it will be almost dark, Dong Wenbing's eyes are firmly fixed on the enemy formation in front, and his mind is spinning rapidly.

The front of the Song people was very wide, enough for him to deploy his army, and he was a little unconvinced, so with the more than 60,000 people left now, he would not be able to rush through if he launched an attack on the whole line. Although there was no long ladder, the shield was still sufficient, and as long as he could break through that damn iron net, he believed that with the strength of these soldiers, he would definitely be able to defeat those Song people.

"Go and inform the tens of thousands of households in Azhuhan, and the whole army will attack together, and this time we must break the enemy." Dong Wenbing made up his mind, so he turned his head and ordered his own soldiers.

Linxi is a small river with a small width in Lishui County, and eventually flows westward into Lishui, but if the rainy season comes, the river will also surge, and it will be impossible to directly flow across the river at that time. In the middle of the river, there is a small stone arch bridge connecting the official roads on both sides, and on the side leading to Lishui is a slightly higher small slope, which extends diagonally downward.

At this moment, Zhang Shijie, the envoy of the Baokang Army and the military of the Governor's Mansion, listed the more than 30,000 Hubei soldiers under his command with their backs against Lin Xi in a horizontal formation, and the entire large array stretched for dozens of miles, like a giant bird with wings outstretched, blocking the way for the Tartar cavalry in front of him to advance. This large array is almost exactly the same as the one listed by Liu Yu and others under Jiankang City, and it is a standard confrontation cavalry formation divided into several layers.

Coincidentally, neither side of the war actually touched each other's traces, and the match here was completely an encounter. When Zhang Shijie led people through the Yinshu Dongba area, he happened to pass through the battlefield, and as soon as he walked out of the mountains, the headless bones that were eaten into skeletons all over the ground appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

After silently burying the bones of their colleagues, the tragic situation by the Lishui River once again tested their minds, and it turned out that the lost heads were piled up here. The bone tower made of nearly 10,000 heads made these veterans of a hundred battles who had fought thousands of miles can't help but cry bitterly, and there is no need to do any mobilization at all, and new and old hatreds come to their hearts together.

These soldiers are all from Jinghu North Road, which has been lost and may never go back in this life. Now they can still help others bury them, and one day they will die in battle, who will help them enter the ground, after a brief memorial, the veterans who are back on the road have a strong sense of war, which is what Zhang Shijie can expect.

Therefore, the front spies inadvertently encountered the Tartar scouts, Zhang Shijie personally led people to investigate, and when he found that this group of Tartars only had thousands of people, and they were alone, he immediately decided to attack and advance. The Tartar cavalry did not like to fight, and retreated and walked here, and after several cavalry forces gathered, they confronted Zhang Shijie's department.

After fighting in Jinghu for many years, he was not afraid of the Tartar cavalry, even if they divided their forces to attack and harass, he was not afraid, because there were as many as 3,000 cavalry in his army. And the number was originally 5,000, but during the Battle of Ezhou, Zhao Wenyi and Fan Xing lost more than 2,000 cavalry in Daze, even so, this number of establishments is still the highest among all armies, and when thousands of miles are turned around, it is thanks to these cavalry that the whole army can reach Lin'an unharmed.

Zhang Shijie stood alone at the head of the stone arch bridge, looking past the military formation in front of him and looking in the direction of the Tartars. They didn't seem to have any intention of charging into battle, several teams of 1,000 people suddenly got together, and they didn't know what their idea was, and the place where he stood was the highest place in the entire military formation, and he was not afraid of any tricks that the Tartars would play.

In the Tartar array at the other end, tens of thousands of households Yan Che'er were a little remorseful, originally he planned to use his own team of seven thousand people to take down the Song army in front of him, but after a night of contact, now only six came, and the one on the outside went out to the area of Liyang County, and he couldn't get in touch.

After some probing, he found that even with 7,000 men at hand, it was unlikely that he would be able to defeat this army of tens of thousands, because their commander-in-command generals were too difficult. Not to mention that the formation is like a hedgehog, the terrain occupied is also very favorable, although the small slope is not steep, but the frontal attack becomes a back attack, this is not counted, his side is facing the sun, the sun will rise in a while, and it will become very dazzling when the time comes.

Finding this kind of reinforcement of tens of thousands of people, he should have immediately notified the besieging battalion, but he can't leave now, once he leaves first, the lonely thousand-person team will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, which is a result that Yan Che'er can never bear. Since the southern expedition, he has not suffered such a big loss.

The trouble is not only that, the formation of these Song people is extremely wide, and it happens to be at the junction of Lishui County and Liyang County. What if that thousand-man team doesn't pay attention, it's likely to hit it head-on? It would be good if these people came to chase after him, what could be used to attract them, Yan Che'er's head was a little big.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and he turned to see that it was the patrol horse he had arranged in the rear, and he had come to ride only to tell him that someone was coming from the direction of the camp, and when he waved his hand to bring the man in, he found that it was Attari, one of the three thousand households he had left in the camp.

"What?" After listening to Attari's words, Yan Che'er was so angry that he almost fell off his horse, and he couldn't believe it, and after only one night, he had lost nearly two thousand people. This is a full 2,000 cavalry, even if it encounters 20,000 Song people, it is impossible to fight without a fight, even if it can't be defeated, can't it run away?

However, the order that Attari received from him further put him in a dilemma, "gather the team and return quickly". Abandon that team of thousands, they are not only their own subordinates, but also clansmen, Yan Che'er bit his lower lip and raised his hand fiercely.

"Attari, you take two thousand men around, find them anyway, and then return. The rest of the people, follow me, and do not rush into battle, but harass them with arrows. And all the people responded with a bang, and each of them was commanded to act.
