Two days later, the Yang and Slope defense lines.

Early in the morning, Liu Juntao saw the arrows coming from the bottom of the mountain on the fire road pier on the top of the mountain, and from the vicinity of the Warat camp more than ten miles away to the east, the arrows were like a relay, one after another, not only rushing towards the Yanghepo defense line.

This is the way used by the soldiers of Yanzhou Town to convey the enemy's situation, and the horn arrows propelled by gunpowder during the day are not only shot high, but also accompanied by a great sound, which is very convenient.

Looking at the arrows that were getting closer and closer, Liu Juntao said calmly: "Order!" Ignite the beacon smoke and inform the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army and the rear camp of Yanzhou Town that the Tartars are about to attack the Yanghepo defense line, and let Zhou Zongsheng and Yan Hu act according to the plan! ”

"Order!"

Soon bursts of wolf smoke rose on the top of Yanghepo, and at this time, the entire Lei Gong Mountain area was cloudless, and the wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible more than ten miles away.

At the same time, the officers and men of the pioneer battalion, the right battalion, and the front battalion of Yanzhou Town, who were already ready on the three lines of defense on Yanghepo, as well as the officers and men of the middle army battalion and artillery charge stationed at the central military headquarters on the top of the mountain, also saw the wolf smoke, and their morale was immediately greatly boosted, and all the officers and men made the final preparations before the big battle.

Not only that, but there were also heralds constantly running in the defense line, and these heralds also banged the gongs in their hands loudly, and all the departments and generals shouted back and forth: "All on guard, be sure to hold the defense line, bloody battle!" It's a bloody battle! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

A soldier roared loudly, and all the soldiers around him roared and shouted: "Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

It didn't take long for the entire defense line to be filled with the roar of "Wan Sheng", and the morale of more than 50,000 Ming army soldiers was greatly boosted.

Moreover, the soldiers of each battalion in Yanzhou Town are treated very well on weekdays, not only the military salary is very high, the salary of ordinary infantry is higher than that of the cavalry of the Beijing camp, and all the soldiers have meat and steamed buns for every meal, which makes the soldiers of each battalion in Yanzhou Town tall and strong.

But this is not to say that the soldiers and generals in Yanzhou Town are all "embroidered pillows", and the daily drills in Yanzhou Town are far more than the rest of the Ming army, especially the physical fitness, almost the amount of training of the soldiers in Yanzhou Town in a month is equivalent to the amount of training of other Ming troops in a year!

In this way, the soldiers of each battalion in Yanzhou Town are as many as five big and three thick muscular men and burly men, all of these soldiers are powerful, and their bodies are full of "horizontal meat", coupled with sophisticated equipment and rigorous training, the tens of thousands of troops under Liu Juntao are extremely strong in combat!

At this time, looking at the field from the Yanghepo defense line, I saw countless Tartar cavalry rushing from the extreme distance of the vast land, and it spread overwhelmingly, so it rushed towards the Yanghepo defense line.

At the foot of the mountain, this field seems to have been completely covered by the Warat army, and I don't know how many men and horses were dispatched in this attack.

"The Tartars are powerful!"

Almost all the soldiers had this idea in their hearts, but none of them were timid.

At this time, the prestige of the Wara army may be able to scare others, and even make the morale of other Ming troops collapse on the spot, but in the face of the Yanzhou Town soldiers, the arrogance of the Wara army is useless.

Which of these tens of thousands of soldiers was not born with Liu Juntao? Which one hasn't gone through the "hell" drills? Which one is not heavily armed with extremely well-equipped equipment?

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of Yanzhou Town under Liu Juntao are the only army with all their hands in armor, but in this regard, even the three major battalions in the capital are not as good as themselves!

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers in the defense line only sighed after seeing the momentum of the Warat army, and there was no trace of turmoil in the hearts of the soldiers.

Liu Juntao raised the clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation of the soldiers of each department, and saw that although the soldiers were also a little nervous, they were basically calm and calm, and they were also very relieved in their hearts.

"The military heart is available! A strong army has been formed! ”

Liu Juntao saw from the clairvoyant mirror that in the entire Yanghepo defense line, behind the three waves of low walls, one by one the bird gunners were waiting for a strict battle, and after each wave of low walls and trenches, there were long knife hands and mine-throwers in the makeshift stone houses to recuperate, waiting for the order to attack in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, the Chinese defense of the Yanghepo defense line had already been repaired, all of which were made of large solid mountain stones, the walls were concave and convex, and there were towers at intervals, which could form multiple strikes of crossfire, and at the same time closely protected the artillery array.

Ninety artillery pieces have already been filled, lined up in the artillery array, these artillery pieces are dedicated to the solid son, just wait for Liu Juntao to give an order, and they can continue to bombard the Warat army.

In addition, in the northeast of the Yanghepo mountain range, there are also a number of low-walled ditches, which meander along the river to the northwest of the mountain, and there are enough troops stationed there to ensure that the entire defense line is foolproof.

The northwest side of the defense line, also according to the topography, built several stone walls, the entire Yanghepo defense line can be described as impregnable, Liu Juntao is also confident that this place is called the burial ground of the Wara army.

In addition to combat preparations, Liu Juntao also transported a steady stream of grain and grass sent from Datong Town to the mountains, and the amount of these grains and grass was enough to feed more than 50,000 soldiers of the Ming Army for several months.

Moreover, a large number of soldiers and civilians come and go every day, because the decisive battle broke out suddenly, there are many civilians gathered in the main village, and while taking refuge, they can also help with some logistics.

At this time, General Zhang Xiaojun, General Gao Ran, and General Sun Xu had already made preparations for each of their soldiers, of which the officers and men of the three battalions were all in front of the main defensive line, and in terms of the allocation of troops, the three lines of defense were basically the same principle of each wave of troops, so that the firepower of the defense line could be maximized.

After a while, Liu Juntao saw through the clairvoyant mirror that the smoke and dust in the fields below the mountain were thicker, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was even louder.

Finally, a piece of gray-white armor and banners spread to the bottom of the mountain, and there were a large number of armor soldiers wearing willow leaf armor, Luo ring armor, red tasseled hats or flap helmets, Liu Juntao estimated that these soldiers and horses were also elite soldiers under his command.

Looking at the sea of people under the mountain, Liu Juntao held a clairvoyant mirror and looked out, ready to observe the deployment of the Wara army.

At this time, the follow-up steady stream of Warat soldiers and horses still arrived, but after reaching the hills and plains below the mountain, except for a few sentry horses, most of the rest of the troops stood still, as if waiting for something.

This is a long time, until the hour to the hour, and then to the hour, Liu Juntao suddenly saw that there was a sea of black pressure behind the Wara army, but it was the infantry of the Wara army, and they were escorting a lot of mountain-attacking equipment, mostly some big shields, arrows or something, in addition to some trebuchets.

However, the number of these trebuchets is pitiful, basically negligible, Liu Juntao estimates that there are also insufficient manpower in the Warat army, or there is not enough time, so only a few can be produced.

Moreover, those wooden shields were only slightly processed with some trees and planks, which were quite rough and far less practical than the large shields equipped by the battalions in Yanzhou Town.

Liu Juntao thought about it and knew that the Warat army was numerous, and it would take time and materials to make some standard military shields, and if it was to be carefully crafted, I don't know what year and month it would take.

Seeing those mountain-attacking equipment in the clairvoyant mirror, Liu Juntao couldn't help but sneer in his heart, the Yanghe slope defense line starts from the mountainside, there are as many trench traps, and those Vara Tartars want to push these wooden shields up, it is impossible, except for the flesh and blood shields, there is no way for the Tartars under the mountain.

"Woo~Woo~"

The trumpets sounded constantly in the army of Warat under the mountain, and the Great Khan of Warat also first and the general Arazhiyuan also continued to command the soldiers and horses to start moving, and the two of them were on a mountain bag two miles away from the mountain, hunting and flying under the weaving gold Daxu, and constantly looked at the Yanghe slope defense line.

This time, the king of the journal did not follow, and should have led the army to stay in the camp.

At this time, beside Yexian and Arazhiyuan, there were also the generals Tuharai, Balashan, Tubai, Gong Adai, Buchuhuer, Shanba, Gulu Siqibu, Gelma and others.

In this battle, almost all the generals under his command were dispatched, and nearly 200,000 troops were also dispatched 150,000, which shows that they attached great importance to the Yanzhou Zhenming army on the Yanghepo defense line.

Looking at the ordinary, narrow mountain range in front of him, Tubai's eyes showed contempt, and his voice was like thunder: "Is the Great Khan making a fuss?" Just a mountain, but also to gather my 150,000 main force to attack? ”

This person is a veteran around Yexian, with very hard qualifications, and he is also very loyal to Yexian, but he is not very respectful in tone, and he speaks more casually, and Gong Adai next to him is also careless, just a mountain, too easy to capture.
