The eldest brother Qiu Youcai nodded, and said to the third Qiu Youshou: "You are a crossbowman, you will retreat behind us after shooting the arrow, and you will not directly participate in the attack, it is safer, if the Liao army plays with your life, the three of us, the one who has the best hope of surviving is you." Alas! None of our three brothers have yet to get married, so we can't all die all at once. Then our enemies will be cut off. So, the third child, you must be clever, once the melee starts, it is important to save your life. Do you understand? ”

The third child sighed.

The boss nodded in satisfaction, and before he could speak, suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared, because they felt the ground tremble beneath them!

The soldiers felt it too, at first it was very slight, and soon, the trembling became more and more obvious! There was also a rumbling sound in my ears, coming from a distance.

The other soldiers stopped. Look at each other.

The boss Qiu Youcai hurriedly put down the long axe and lay on the ground, and now, he heard it clearly, it was the roar of the horse's hooves!

How many horses do you have to have to make such a huge shock!

The boss Qiu Youcai's face turned pale suddenly, and he quickly got up, squinted forward with his hands on the pergola. ――On the horizon, a black line has appeared, and it is slowly getting bigger!

The heavy cavalry of the Liao army?!

The boss Qiu Youcai shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy army is coming!" Liao Army! Heavy cavalry! Report to the General! ”

Many of the soldiers found out and shouted.

Yang Sanlang, who was in the middle of the forward team, heard the shout, and immediately flew to stand on horseback and look, sure enough. On the narrow river beach in front, a line connects the two ends, all of which are black and pressed Liao cavalry. The dust kicked up obscured the sky!

Yang Sanlang's face became very ugly. He looked around and saw that there were wide plains, and the Fushui River around him had become a roadblock, so that they were trapped on a narrow beach that was only more than ten miles wide. And their army, almost all of which were infantry, had to face the impact of the heavily armored cavalry of the Liao army. It would be catastrophic!

Yang Saburo hurriedly ordered the heralds around him: "Blow the horn of the enemy!" ”

Several heralds immediately sounded their horns, and the mournful sound of horns resounded through the empty valley.

Yang Dalang of the main force heard the sound of the horn and immediately reined in his horse. After listening to it, his face changed greatly: "The Liao Army Iron Cavalry!" ”

Guo Jin, the warrior next to him, said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, what should I do?" ”

Yang Dalang turned his head to look at the Taihang Mountain on the right, and said in a deep voice: "Enter the mountain forest." Avoid enemy charges. Wait for the enemy to come, and then attack! ”

"Good!" Guo Jin nodded, turned to the herald and was about to give an order, when he suddenly stopped again. Because, both of them saw countless Liao troops rushing out from the various valleys on Taihang! Out of the mountain pass, it unfolded quickly, and the black pressed press. Soon it became a large area, and the overwhelming tide rushed towards them!

There was an ambush of the Liao army in Taihang Mountain!

That's when it happened. On the side of the guard Yang Erlang, the horn also sounded, and Yang Dalang listened carefully, and it was also a warning that there was a heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army behind him!

How can there be enemy troops behind them? It should be the Liao army from the city of Fuzhou, who crossed the Fushui River and rushed from behind.

Yang Dalang didn't know that the Liao army behind him was a cutting-edge iron cavalry drawn from Yuanyang Lake, the base camp of the Liao army, farther away! And the Liao army that was killed from Taihang Mountain was 150,000 elite soldiers who secretly came from the area of Youzhou City to participate in the siege! plus the iron cavalry drawn from Ruzhou and Juyong Pass in front. The Liao army, which attacked from three directions, has reached 350,000! Twice as many as their troops!

Although Yang Dalang did not know the exact number of the Liao army, from what he observed, he already knew that the Liao army was prepared for this battle! And the number of troops exceeds them!

In the face of the enemy forces on three sides, especially the charge of the heavy armored cavalry in the front and rear directions, there was no way to retreat from the wide Fushui River behind him.

There is no way to retreat, you can only meet the enemy!

Yang Dalang said in a deep voice: "Order, set up spear arrays and long axe formations in front and back." Crossbowmen are ready to wait for the enemy to approach before firing arrows! ”

The drums of war beat and shook the earth. The Song army's forward and rear guards quickly entered the main camp, while the main force's crossbowmen, pikemen, and axemen moved quickly forward and backward, and soon formed two long lines of defense.

On the outermost side, there are the crossbowmen. Behind them are spearmen, spearmen with long spears, and behind them are knife and axe men armed with long-handled battle axes. The infantry army, on the other hand, was located in the middle of the three lines of defense.

Facing the Liao army rushing from the Taihang Mountain. The main ones who were armed were crossbowmen.

The Liao army is getting closer and closer, and the deafening hooves of war horses and horses are trampling the ground and trembling. The soldiers of the Song army were sinking like water one by one, staring at the Liao army that was advancing more and more!

Even the Khitan characters on the battle flag of the Liao army can already be seen clearly!

"Shoot the arrows!" Yang Sanlang gave an order, the war drums sounded in unison, and when he heard the drum command, the front row of crossbowmen tilted the hard crossbow upwards and shot out the hard crossbow arrows. Suddenly, tens of thousands of arrows flew into the air, drawing arcs one after another, and fell towards the Liao cavalry charging formation that rushed over!

At the front of the Liao cavalry were shield-swordsmen and axemen, holding shields to block arrows that rained down. However, there are still many who failed to block and fell off the horse. However, this did not stop the Liao army's charge in the slightest.

After the first row of crossbowmen finished shooting, they immediately retreated behind the archers, because the crossbows were very troublesome to load, and in the face of cavalry charges, there was only one chance to release their arrows. Therefore, you can only change the crossbowmen who have already been wound in the second row.

The angle of the crossbowman on the second beat was almost parallel, because the speed of the Liao cavalry was too fast.

Whoosh ......!

A volley of arrows was fired. The power of the Song army's crossbow is very strong, and in the effective range, it can completely penetrate the heavy armor of the heavy armored cavalry!

Therefore, this time, the soldiers of the Liao army who fell from the arrow suddenly increased, and the cavalry in the front row, less than half of them fell down, but the Liao army charged as always, like a huge wave towards the Song army!

When the third-faction crossbowmen released their arrows, the cavalry of the Liao army was already close at hand!

Qiu Youshou, the third elder of the Qiu family, was among them, his hands were a little trembling, looking at the cold and shining long knife of the Liao army, his eyes were also a little glazed, but he still aimed the crossbow at the stomach of one of the Liao cavalrymen who rushed towards him!

This cavalryman held a round shield in one hand, blocking most of his body, only half of his head and stomach were outside, Qiu Youshou was not sure to shoot half of the opponent's head in the rapid charge, but he was confident to shoot the opponent's stomach!

Sou!

The divine crossbow shook in his hand, and the sharp arrow flew out, accurately shooting into the stomach of the Liao army!

The soldiers of the Liao army fell off their horses as if they had been hit by a stick in the waist. In an instant, he was trampled into a pulp by the iron riders who rushed up from behind!

Qiu Youshou was overjoyed, this was the first time he had shot an enemy face-to-face since he joined the army, and he was so excited that he wanted to cheer, but at this moment, the eldest brother shouted behind him: "Third brother, come back quickly!" ”

Qiu Youshou finally reacted, threw down the crossbow, turned around and ran, rushed past the second brother of the spearman who was squatting on the ground, and ran behind the eldest brother of the long axeman.

Only then did he turn his head sharply, and he saw that the second brother's spear had pierced into the lower abdomen of the Liao army's iron cavalry soldiers who rushed to the front, and lifted the opponent into the air!

However, before he could cheer, the front iron hooves of the heavily armored war horse had already stepped on the second brother's head! The second brother's head shattered like a watermelon falling to the ground!

"Second brother!"

Qiu Youshou hissed and shouted. As soon as the fight began, the second brother died under the iron cavalry of the Liao army!

There was no way for him to go up and take a look, because the cavalry of the Liao army had already rushed into the Song army's position!

At this time, I heard the eldest brother roar again, and the long axe in his hand slashed at the feet of a Liao army iron horse that rushed over, the war horse was covered with heavy armor, but the four legs were without armor. An axe goes down and is immediately cut off. Immediately fell off the horse. The soldiers of the Liao army did not panic, and slashed at the eldest brother in the air.

The long axe in Qiu Youcai's hand is only specially used to deal with the cavalry of the Liao army, and it is not suitable for this kind of hand-to-hand combat. He could only bow his head and dodge the opponent's long knife.

The Liao army soldier fell into the hands of the long axe, and the long knife flashed, cutting off the head of a Song army chief axeman!

The dead long axe man was next to the third Qiu Youshou, and a burst of blood spurted out, drenching his head and face.

The soldiers of the Liao army waved their long knives again, slashing towards Qiu Youshou!

Qiu Youshou was stupid, and stood there stunned and didn't know how to dodge.

At that moment, two spears stabbed out at his side, one pierced into the chest and abdomen of the soldier of the Liao army, and the other pierced the soldier's neck!

The Liao soldier's shield and long knife fell to the ground, and the shield rolled to Qiu Youshou's feet. But he was already scared stupid. I don't even know how to bend down and pick it up.

The eldest brother Qiu Youcai slashed the Liao cavalry who rushed up with a long axe, and he also paid attention to the third brother out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw his frightened stupid appearance, he was so anxious that he shouted: "The third brother!" Pick up the shield and the knife! Fast!! ”

The eldest brother's voice was far more alarming than the danger in front of him, he had come under the care of the eldest brother since he was a child, and immediately subconsciously agreed, bending down to pick up the shield, but when he was about to pick up the long knife, the long knife of a Liao cavalry had already slashed the cold light and slashed at his head!

This time, without the eldest brother waking up, he reacted, raised his shield to block, and with a bang, the long knife slashed heavily on the round shield in his hand. The force of the impact knocked him backwards several steps. However, he was immediately hit by the soldiers behind him and rushed forward.

Looking back, it turned out that the cavalry of the Liao army behind him had rushed into the Song army's position, and was slashing with the Song army's spearmen and axe hands. In order to distance himself, Song Jun kept retreating, so he crashed into him.

Qiu Youshou looked around and found that the cavalry of the Liao army had completely disrupted the formation of the Song army, and the two sides had already fought together. Everywhere there were shouts and screams of killing, the groans of wounded soldiers and cries for help. He frantically raised his round shield and searched for his brother in the scuffle. Finally, from a distance, I saw the eldest brother Qiu Youcai holding a long axe, resisting the siege of the two Liao cavalry, and looked at it in panic from time to time. He was covered in blood and tears, and he didn't know if he was injured himself, or if he was stained with someone else's blood. (To be continued......)
