The weapons in the hands of the 1,500 light horsemen of the Yuan army were different from the former, most of them carried steel knives and spears in their hands, and they had the illusion that they wanted to kill a few more Youzhou soldiers after breaking through the rejection horses and barricades.

But what the soldiers of the Yuan army never expected was that the soldiers of Youzhou suddenly changed their tactics, and they launched a non-stop sniper attack on the Yuan cavalry in a three-stage attack.

The Youzhou soldiers were divided into three rows under the command of Zhao Yun!

After the first row of soldiers finished shooting, the second row fired, and when the second row fired, the first row of soldiers and the third row of soldiers switched places, and went to the rear to load the crossbow box.

After the soldiers in the second row finish shooting, the soldiers in the third row step forward to fill in and shoot, and the soldiers in the second row switch places with the soldiers in the first row who shoot at the beginning and change the crossbow box.

After the third row has finished shooting, the first row will come forward to fill in the position and shoot, so that the interval time is greatly shortened.

The Youzhou soldiers suddenly changed their tactics and caught the Yuan cavalry off guard, but fortunately, the military literacy of the Yuan cavalry was extremely high, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they still completed the task.

The horses and barricades arranged in Youzhou in front of the first line of defense had been cleared by the Yuan army, but the 1,500 cavalry of the Yuan army had also ended up annihilated.

The Youzhou army killed more than 40 people, seriously wounded more than 50 people, and nearly 100 lightly wounded people who could continue to fight, thanks to the fact that they had made sufficient preparations before, and the huge range and power of the Liaodong crossbow.

Li Yang shook his sour arm, and shouted at Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who were dozens of steps away from him: "There is no need to continue to hold on here, take the soldiers to the second line of defense." ”

Li Yang was worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to hear his shout, so he deliberately stretched out his hand and pointed to the rear.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici nodded, and even though they led their soldiers to fight and retreat, they retreated to the second line of defense.

Seeing that the two of them understood their intentions, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, in fact, Li Yang has a herald by his side, and this kind of thing can be done by the herald, that is, the matter of waving the command flag is very simple.

It's just that Li Yang occasionally short-circuits his brain, and because of this, he just crossed the herald and directly used the shout.

Fortunately, the ancients had very good eyesight, and the distance of dozens of steps was nothing to them.

This is much stronger than modern people, modern people's eyesight is generally very poor, take a certain history writer who hit the street, his eyesight is so bad that he can't even see the face of a person more than ten meters away from him, and his eyes are basically not far from blindness.

Straight to the point.

It is not so much the second line of defense, but rather that this is already the last line of defense in Hulukou, and this will become the final battlefield between the soldiers of Youzhou and the soldiers of the Yuan army, because the total length of the dirt road under the rock wall of the Tieniu River is only more than one mile, less than two miles away.

The camp of the Youzhou army is built on the rock wall by the Tieniu River, and the plane area on the entire rock wall is about tens of thousands of square meters, which looks not small, but it can't stand many people, you must know that Youzhou has stationed 3,000 people here.

Li Yang and others set up the first line of defense at about 650 steps in front of the camp, while the second line of defense was set up by Li Yang and others at about 300 steps in front of the camp.

If the Yuan army breaks through the second line of defense, then it means that the Youzhou soldiers will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Yuan soldiers.

The 200 steps in front of the camp will become the focus of contention between the soldiers of both sides, and the reason why the decisive battle is not in the camp is because the space in the camp is too narrow, which is very unfavorable to the Youzhou army.

The Yuan army occupies an absolute numerical advantage, if it plays with it, at that time, the Youzhou soldiers are afraid that they will be squeezed to death by the Yuan army.

In the end, there are not many rejections and roadblocks in front of this line of defense, at least not compared with the first line of defense.

This is also a helpless thing, if too many roadblocks and horse rejection are set up, it will affect the speed of the retreat of the Youzhou soldiers, and the two powers will harm each other, and in the end they can only choose to set up fewer roadblocks and reject horses.

This time, the Yuan army did not immediately attack Hulukou, and their cavalry was changing their clothes, from light cavalry to heavy cavalry.

Why didn't they change their costumes before? The defense of the heavy cavalry is very high.

A: Previously, the Mongols needed speed, dexterity, and lightness, and they needed to clear the horses and barricades quickly, and this job was more suitable for light cavalry.

The defense of the heavy cavalry is indeed very high, but their speed of action is also very slow, and most importantly, if the heavy cavalry dies in battle, then they themselves will become a new roadblock, and who will make trouble for themselves? Oh, we've just worked hard to clear the barricades and barricades.

And then we're going to send another group of people to clean up the corpses of the armored horses and the heavily armored cavalry that died in battle?

Is it true that the Liaodong crossbow can't kill the heavy armored cavalry of the Yuan army? Didn't the heavily armored cavalry led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou become the souls of the crossbows of Liaodong?

Zhang Jaw is not stupid at all, take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhang Jaw can't understand these twists and turns, he still has Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang by his side to assist.

As the old saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Zhang Jaw is not a stinker!

The reason why he has changed his clothes to heavy armored cavalry now is because Yuan Jun already knows that in front of him is the last line of defense arranged in front of Hulukou in Youzhou, and behind the defense line is a smooth road, even if all the heavy armored cavalry dies in front of this defense line, there is no need to waste manpower to clean up their corpses, just step on them.

But they couldn't do this before, and according to the previous situation, when they stepped on the corpses of their comrades and passed through the first line of defense, they would find that they were still facing horses and barricades.

Yuan Jun was changing his clothes, while the Youzhou sergeant was checking his weapons and equipment, some of the damaged Liaodong crossbows were replaced one by one, and some of the empty crossbow boxes were loaded with crossbow arrows again.

Dian Wei, who was in the tent with his eyes closed, suddenly frowned, and then looked up at the outside of the tent, but saw nothing except the tents.

Sigh!

"I think it's a false alarm!" Dian Wei thought.

In fact, the sound that Dian Wei heard just now was the sound of the heavy armored cavalry of the Yuan army crashing on the repulsive horse, and the Yuan army once again launched a tidal attack towards the mouth of the gourd.

It took less than half an hour for a thousand heavy cavalry of the Yuan army to complete their mission, and the heavy cavalry of the Yuan army broke through the last line of defense arranged by Li Yang and others in front of the gourd mouth with indomitable momentum, and what followed was the annihilation of the entire army of the Yuan army.
