The battle of dawn began.

On the side of the moat outside the east gate of Yuanyang City, the sound of "woo" horns and "dong dong" drums were deafening.

The Green Dragonguard was the first to launch a tentative attack, a squad of five thousand men shouting, marching in a neat pace, extremely slowly.

At the front of the square were 1,000 shield-bearers with waist swords, followed by 1,000 archers, and after the archers, there were 3,000 warriors who could attack at any time, their weapons were more complicated, the long weapons handled by both hands were spears, halberds, spears, sticks, broadswords and forks, etc., the short weapons handled by one hand were knives, swords, hooks, maces, plate axes and crutches, etc., and a small number of javelins, maces, large axes, chain hangs, throwing knives, palladium and daggers.

At the forefront of Jiang Longwei was a thousand strategic heavy cavalry, the soldiers and horses were protected by full-body iron armor, and the cavalry and horses only showed their eyes. A thousand men were wrapped tightly in iron armor and gloves, and they were armed with iron broadswords, and some of them were armed with iron shields, iron spears, iron swords, and long and short bows, as if they were iron troops.

The five thousand attacking soldiers of the Green Dragon Guard, who had hardly seen Jiang Longwei's heavy cavalry, many of the veterans were uneasy, and many of the recruits had to follow the veterans forward, and they shouted loudly to relieve the tension in their hearts.

The heavy cavalry of the Left Guard strategic force has only 1,000 people, but it is definitely the elite unit second only to the avant-garde light cavalry in the entire Jiangcheng.

Five thousand Green Dragon Guard soldiers, with a hundred household officials as the core, approached the heavy cavalry.

"Knock knock" drums, "kill." A thousand heavy cavalry shouted, and rushed towards the five thousand people phalanx of the Green Dragon Guard.

The most common way for infantry to meet cavalry is to form a phalanx, and use long weapons, bows and arrows as the main method, in order to eliminate the impact of cavalry to the greatest extent.

However, it was too late, this was a thousand heavy cavalry wrapped in ironclad armor. The charging heavy cavalry withstood the attack of a thousand bows and arrows, and only a few cavalrymen fell to the ground with arrows from their horses, and most of the cavalry were unscathed.

Arrows can't shoot through and have no lethality. The eyes of the heavy cavalry shone with confidence, and they rode on their tall horses, extremely excited, wielding machetes as if possessed by the god of war, and like wolves seeing sheep.

The commander of the 5,000-man squad was a deputy commander of the Chinese army, he had participated in hundreds of battles against mountain bandits, but he had never encountered the heavy cavalry head-on, he held the "well" halberd tightly, a sweep, hit the legs of the three war horses in front, the war horses neighed in pain, knelt on the ground, three ironclad cavalry fell to the ground, and were swept by the "well" halberd swept the abdomen and chest.

The abdomen and chest of the three ironclad cavalrymen emitted sparks of metal grinding, but the men were not swept and killed by the halberd. The deputy commander of the Chinese army was taken aback, and said secretly: Really powerful heavy armor.

The three ironclad cavalrymen rolled over and slashed at the deputy commander with machetes. The lieutenant commander used his halberd to fly two cavalrymen, but was killed by a third cavalryman. The third cavalryman was shot in the eye socket by the archers behind the shieldmen, covered his eyes and howled, and was hacked to death by the shieldmen.

This is the case on the battlefield, where almost all the soldiers who rush to the front are martyrs.

The other light cavalry in the lead raised their machetes and frantically slashed their shields and slashed their shieldmen.

Dozens of shield bearers screamed to death after being hit by machetes and war horses. There was no deputy commander, and the officials of the thousand households and the officials of the hundred households each carried their own soldiers to resist.

Soon, the shieldmen of the Green Dragons were the first to flee, forcing the archers and warriors to retreat.

Engaged with the heavy cavalry, the tentative forces of the Green Dragonguard were crushed at the touch of a button. The law enforcement team in the 5,000-strong squad had no time to stop the fleeing soldiers.

Jiang Longwei's main force of the Chinese army had 20,000 people, of which 10,000 followed the heavy cavalry and pursued them all the way to the front of the Green Dragon Guard.

On the position of the Green Dragon Guard, the three 5,000-strong troops who were waiting for the battle, looking at the soldiers who were crying and shouting defeat, their morale was suddenly low.

In the "South Gate Laughter House", Li Xiao gave Xuan Zhongxian's three or four hundred taels of silver tickets to the Yuanyang soldiers of Socheng, the Yuanyang soldiers saw so many silver tickets for the first time, and heard Li Xiao say that he knew Zhou Dongcang Zhou, so he reported the situation to the chief, and the chief reported to the hundred household officials, and the hundred household officials and the thousand household officials reported to Sun Tu, Sun Tu saw so many silver tickets, he did not dare to slack off, after inquiring clearly, he personally went to the "South Gate Laughter House" to invite the "God of Wealth".

Sun Tu was taken aback when he saw Li Xiao in the guest room of the "South Gate Laughing House", how could this kid still be alive. Seeing Fang Qiushui sleeping on the bed, he was taken aback, Fang Qiushui was here, and Xuan Zhongxian must also be here. I was taken aback when I saw the iron armor piled up on the bed and the big man with a ruined face, is this what Xuan Zhongxian is like now?

Sun Tu was extremely courteous in inviting Li Xiao and Xuan Zhongxian to the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion to discuss matters with Zhou Dongcang. Xuan Zhongxian said: "I have an agreement to talk to Zhou Dongcang. Li Xiao, you come and help me put on my armor. ”

Li Xiao heard that Xuan Zhongxian was arranging his own work, and he was extremely unaccustomed to it. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

It took a lot of effort and a long time for Li Xiao to help Xuan Zhongxian put on the armor and iron mask, and became an ironclad man.

Sun Tu waited anxiously, and when he saw Xuan Zhongxian put on his armor, he hurriedly said, "Hua Da is in charge...... Chief Xuanda, let's go. ”

Xuan Zhongxian, Li Xiao, Fang Qiushui and Xin Huwei followed Sun Tu and walked out of the guest room and stepped out of the "South Gate Laughter House".

Of course, Fang Qiushui was sleeping very heavily at that time, and he couldn't wake up, so he was half-dragged and half-helped out of the guest room by Xin's guards. Mao and Wen Daochang saw that Li Xiao had followed a group of Yuanyang soldiers, so they followed. The six people arrived at the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion and were arranged to live temporarily in the wing room in the back hall of the Principal's Mansion.

Li Xiao, who had nothing to do, began to "super-hearing" again, probing what was happening around him.

Li Xiao was inside the house, but he clearly heard the sound of fighting outside the east gate of Yuanyang City.

Li Xiao hates murder very much, and hates the behavior of treating human life like a mustard, which does not conform to his worldview. However, it is useless, and things in this world do not depend on his likes and dislikes.

If you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run. The Green Dragon Guard was defeated, but did not run.

No matter how terrible the heavy cavalry was, after all, it was only a strategic force, only a thousand people. In a large-scale "murder", it is impossible for a thousand cavalry to immediately defeat 15,000 people.

It was Jiang Longwei's 20,000 combat troops that really played a key role in victory or defeat. The 10,000 combat troops who took the lead in the attack, under the cover of heavy cavalry, quickly rushed into the position of the Green Dragon Guard. Arrows rained down, and Jiang Longwei's combat soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

In the Green Dragon Guard formation, another deputy commander of the Chinese army jumped up, held a knife in both hands, and slashed several cavalrymen with knives in a row, but none of the cavalry was hacked to death by him. He was annoyed in his heart, how could he not be cut to death? The iron armor was so hard? Suddenly, his hands were cut off by his wrists, and blood flowed like a torrent of blood.

The deputy commander of the Chinese army looked at his wrist splattered with blood, inhaled in a panic, and said in his heart: Even if he is alive, he is a waste, so he crashed into the machete of the heavy cavalry and became a martyr.

The deputy commander of the Chinese army made the personal guards and the officials of the thousand households and the hundred households next to him lose their fighting spirit in an instant when they saw him die like this, and took the lead in fleeing.

The defeat was like a mountain.

The main force of the Green Dragon Guard's Chinese army, four or five thousand people, has already been routed by two. The remaining two 5,000-strong troops were personally commanded by the commander of the capital, and withstood the attack of several hundred heavy cavalry and more than 8,000 Jiangcheng soldiers.
