The armor weighing more than fifty catties is not heavy for Li Yang, and he rarely wears it, because this thing looks too bulky on his body, and Li Yang, who is wearing heavy armor, looks like a bear.

"Where is Yuan Jun?" Li Yang asked.

"The scout has just reported that Yuan's army will arrive at the Tieniu River in one hour."

"How many people are there?"

"There are a total of 15,000 infantry and horses, mainly infantry, and there are only about four or five thousand cavalry."

Li Yang looked sideways at Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and smiled, "Are you afraid?" ”

Dian Wei hooked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "It is a great blessing in life to be able to live and die with the lord in this life!" Dying on the battlefield is the supreme honor of every Youzhou soldier! ”

"Well said!" Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up to Dian Wei and said, "Yun, I am willing to work together with the lord and go to the difficult times together!" ”

At this moment, Tai Shici walked in from outside the tent.

Tai Shici bowed to Li Yang, and then said: "I never thought that Dian Wei could say such a big truth, in the past, he was only a stuffy gourd, but now it seems that he is also a lover." ”

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, looked at Tai Shici, came to assist, and said, "Actually, you are also a stuffy gourd!" ”

Tai Shici was slightly stunned, and then there were bursts of laughter in the tent.

"Brothers, each cherishes each other, if we are lucky enough to win this battle, I invite you to drink, drink good wine!"

Li Yang said a few more words to the three of them, and then took the lead in walking out of the tent.

Dian Wei and the three of them followed behind Li Yang and walked out of the tent together.

When everyone came out of the tent, they saw the three thousand Youzhou warriors who had already been assembled.

Li Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a poem, so he immediately read it aloud:

"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned, the red is not a ruthless thing, and it is more protective of flowers when turned into spring mud!"

After reciting a poem, Li Yang continued to say aloud: "Soldiers, although our situation is very difficult, our heart of loyalty to the country has never changed, and we are willing to shed our blood for the happy life of thousands of Li people living in Youzhou."

"Youzhou will win!" Li Yang raised his arms and shouted!

As soon as Li Yang's voice fell, waves of shouts immediately sounded at the scene:

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Seeing that the military heart was available, Li Yang felt very relieved, turned around and nodded at Zhao Yun and the others, and motioned for each of them to make pre-war preparations.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici arched their hands at Li Yang, and then each led the people of their headquarters to leave first!

The battle is imminent, the pre-war preparations have been completed, the Liaodong crossbows have been wound, the weapons are sharpened, and the armor is extremely bright.

This time, Li Yang's preparation was not inadequate, and the 3,000 men and horses brought a total of 100,000 crossbows, 4,500 Liaodong strong crossbows, 6,000 steel swords, 6,000 rattan cards, 5,000 horse lances, and 6,000 sets of armor.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for Yuan Jun to come and send him to death.

After arranging all this.

The drums beat very suddenly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock knock!!

Li Yang's heart tightened, climbed the watchtower, and looked ahead!

He looked sideways at Dian Wei, who was walking towards him quickly, and said, "Are the soldiers already in place?" ”

"All ready!" Dian Wei nodded.

"You guard the big tent here first, and then come back to change me!"

Seeing that Dian Wei was about to speak, Li Yang stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Someone needs to stay for rotation, you are not good at archery, and it is not yet time for hand-to-hand combat, so you can rest first, and you will replace me later!" ”

"No!" Dian Wei bowed down to receive the order!

Seeing that Dian Wei no longer insisted, Li Yang nodded at him, and led his own soldiers to walk straight in the direction of Yuanmen!

After arriving at the Tieniu River, Yuan's army only took a slight rest, and then launched a fierce attack on Hulukou.

When Li Yang led the people to the second line of defense, Yuan's army had already launched the first wave of charges in the direction of Hulukou.

Li Yang stared intently at the distance of a mile ahead, and 1,500 Yuan Jun iron horsemen rushed madly in the direction of the Huluke family as if they were not dying.

The 1,500 cavalrymen of the Yuan army carried horse lances, and the main purpose of their charge was only to clear the barricades and reject horses, and the horse lances were more suitable for smashing through those huge horses and stones.

Li Yang swallowed silently, his scalp was a little numb, because he found that not only was his own side fighting with the determination to die, but Yuan Jun was the same as himself, they were also launching a decisive charge with the same determination, which was destined to be a war of death and death.

Why did you say that Yuan Jun didn't want to die? Because the purpose of the 1,500 Yuan cavalry to launch the charge was only to break through the rejection of horses and barricades, nothing more.

After the first wave of charges, it was impossible for any of them to survive, but even so, they still rushed towards the Youzhou sergeant stationed at the mouth of the gourd without hesitation.

And the soldiers of the Youzhou Army are not vegetarians, under the organization and command of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, they made the most effective counterattack at the first time, and they used the Liaodong crossbow in their hands to carry out a wave of indiscriminate long-range attacks on the Yuan cavalry that was charging towards them.

The rain of arrows roared in the sky, and with it, the cavalry of the Yuan army was shot down under the horses one after another.

The soldiers and horses of the Yuan army who were hit by the arrows rolled forward and fell to the ground, some were shot and killed on the spot, some were trampled into meat paste by the hooves of the horses behind them, and a very small number of Yuan cavalry were dressed as sugar gourds, and the crossbow arrows flew backwards with the body of a Yuan cavalry with the remaining strength, and the crossbow arrows that came out of the body pierced into the body of the robe behind them.

Li Yang held a two-stone treasure carved bow tailored for himself by the Youzhou craftsman camp, and kept repeating the actions such as opening the bow and taking arrows, the movements were coherent and done in one go, and after a while, the fifty-four triangular arrows in the quiver were shot by Li Yang.

The formation of the Yuan army was very dense, so Li Yang's hit rate was extremely high, and among the fifty-four arrows fired, at least more than 30 Yuan cavalry were shot.

The first two hundred paces of the first line of defense in Youzhou has become the focus of competition between the soldiers of the two sides, and the cavalry of the Yuan army has repeatedly attacked the barricades and rejected the horses at any cost, while the soldiers of Youzhou are constantly shooting the living force of the cavalry of the Yuan army with Liaodong crossbows.

Half an hour later!

The first round of fighting is over.

At the cost of the lives of 1,500 light cavalry, the Yuan army destroyed nearly half of the horses and barricades arranged by the Youzhou soldiers in front of the first line of defense, and now they still need to advance another hundred steps to get the opportunity to fight with the Youzhou soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.

Zhang Jaw was also a ruthless man, and when the first wave of Yuan light cavalry was killed and wounded, he decisively ordered 1,500 Yuan light cavalry to launch a second wave of charges in the direction of Hulukou.
