As soon as the Youzhou army stepped out of the gate, they saw the scout Pegasus come to report: "Report to the lord, a cavalry team composed of 30,000 horses has appeared in the direction of Bingzhou!" ”

Li Yang frowned and said, "Who is leading the troops?" ”

The scout shook his head helplessly, and arched his hand: "The cavalry is dressed in a different costume, but it is a foreign cavalry!" ”

"I don't know how to die!" Li Yang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Yuan Ben was originally a Han but had an ambiguous relationship with a foreign race, he should be killed!" ”

The Yuan clan often has dealings with other races, which is one of the main reasons why they are criticized by the world!

"Pass my order, the army will turn around and meet the thieves!" Li Yang ordered angrily!

"No!" Huang Zhong gave up his hand!

Li Yang personally commanded an army of 50,000 and slowly advanced in an orderly manner in the direction where the alien cavalry was.

The pace of the army's advance was very slow, but the pace and formation of the soldiers were very neat.

About an hour later!

The two armies meet head-on!

Li Yang stood on the well and looked condescendingly at the enemy army in front of him, couldn't help frowning and looking at Guo Jia, and asked, "Coalition forces? ”

Fu Zhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The lord has oppressed the northern Zhuhu too hard, so much so that they actually took advantage of the battle between the lord and Yuan Shao to make such a free move!" ”

"No one would have imagined that the once powerful Northern Zhuhu would have such a pitiful time!" Guo Jia let out a sigh!

"There must be something hateful about the wretched!" Li Yang smiled slightly and said: "Zhuhu is a perennial Koubian, and when they rob, kill, loot and bully the Han people, they are not pitiful at all!" ”

Fu Zhi nodded approvingly, and said: "There are many enemy troops, the lord must not be careless, the military literacy of the foreign cavalry is extremely high, and their cavalry tactics are the most cunning, so they have to be guarded against." ”

Li Yang smiled disappreciatively, and after laughing, Li Yang said lightly, "I know a little bit about the tactics of foreign races, and the Hu people like to change places with one shot." ”

Frustrated with a question mark in his head, he subconsciously blurted out a question: "What to fight?" ”

"He said a shot?" Guo Jia frowned and said!

"What do you mean?" Frustrated and confused!

"How do you shoot a gun?" Guo Jia is also a question mark in his head!

Li Yang was slightly stunned, and scolded secretly: "Damn! Speaking of confiding, there is no such new thing in this era. ”

So Li Yang corrected his mistake in time and said again: "I just said wrong, what I want to say is that the Hu people like to shoot an arrow to change a place, they fight if they win, run if they can't win, and turn around to shoot the pursuers while running, when the pursuers are annoyed and don't want to chase, they turn around and change from being chased by the enemy to chasing the enemy, and their main means of attack is naturally archery, which makes the opponent annoying, and most of the opponents lose in the fight and can't win, chase and can't catch up, am I right?" ”

Fu Zhu and Guo Jia nodded in agreement, because what Li Yang said was basically the truth.

The Hu people are very cunning, this tactic is the conclusion that the Hu people have carefully studied and come to the conclusion, they are a people who can ride and shoot horses well, and they can basically ride a horse and shoot arrows as long as they are a man.

The Hu people's system of selecting cavalry was quite perverted, and the cavalrymen were selected from among the best trained soldiers of the time, and they were sent into the Gobi Desert from the age of three or four for rigorous training in horseback archery, so they had an amazing ability to control horses and use weapons.

For example, they can turn around and shoot enemies behind them when they retreat quickly.

They are very hard-working, tolerant of harsh climatic conditions, and do not covet comforts and delicious food.

They are physically strong and can keep them fit for battle with little or no medical care.

It is their duty to obey orders at any time, everyone can strictly abide by them, and discipline has become a system.

The horses used by the alien cavalry were also extremely rigorously trained.

Unlike European horses, horses of different races are similar to the later Mongolian horses, which live in the wild regardless of the harsh winter and heat, and can walk for days without eating when necessary, in short, they have great endurance.

They are able to cross incredible distances over the most treacherous terrain in a very short time.

The main component of the alien army is the archers.

In fact, it is not difficult to defeat them, just need to achieve a longer range than their bow and crossbow, and this problem is not a problem here in Youzhou at all, because the Youzhou soldiers use a crossbow, and the range of the crossbow is longer than that of the bow, and the most important thing is that the target of the crossbow is much higher than the bow and arrow.

The standard crossbow arrows used by the soldiers of Youzhou have been well improved, and he has solved the problem of the difficulty of the crossbow on horseback, and the current Liaodong strong crossbow is more compact and lightweight, and is equipped with a crossbow box.

Add a box-like shell Guo outside the crossbow machine, and the various parts of the crossbow machine are loaded into Guo with embolism according to a certain combination of relationships, and then Guo is loaded into the machine groove of the crossbow arm, which saves a lot of trouble, and the soldiers in Youzhou only need to bring a few more Guo boxes to save the pain of repeatedly pulling the bow.

After the crossbow arrow has been improved, it is more absolute, because the arrow of the crossbow arrow is triangular, there are three blood grooves, after the arrow pierces the human body, the blood is discharged with the blood groove, and the wound caused by the triangular arrow is generally a square hole, and the wound can not be squeezed into each other to achieve a certain hemostasis and healing effect, and this wound can not be bandaged and stopped, therefore, the lethality rate of the arrow of this shape is very high.

The range of the Liaodong strong crossbow is about 28 to 360 steps, which is definitely unique in the world.

Li Yang commanded the army to advance slowly, without the slightest intention of stopping!

The soldiers of the coalition army saw that the Youzhou army was walking towards them step by step with neat steps, and they did not panic, in recent years, they have long been accustomed to such a scene.

The coalition army took the lead, and 30,000 cavalry launched a decisive charge to the Youzhou army in echelons, with the heavy cavalry in the center and the light cavalry outflanked on both flanks, which was their cavalry tactics.

Li Yang was waiting for this moment, everything he had done before was just to create some psychological pressure on the enemy.

Li Yang ordered Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to lead 20,000 light cavalry to guard the left and right flanks of the army, while Huang Zhong and other generals were left in the middle of the army by Li Yang.

Li Yang ordered Huang Zhong and others to lead the heavy cavalry to face the enemy in the middle of the road, while he himself personally sat in charge of the Chinese army.

When the enemy rushed to about a mile away from the Youzhou army, Li Yang ordered the flag soldiers to wave the order flag, seeing the flag as if they saw the order, the Youzhou soldiers once again made a uniform action, nearly 10,000 infantry, raised the crossbow at a 60-degree angle, launched, in one go.

The Hu cavalry who were charging looked at the Youzhou soldiers like idiots, they didn't believe that there was a bow and crossbow that could shoot so far in the world, but when they saw the rain of arrows pouring down on them, they knew that they were going to be a tragedy.
