The sound of trumpets is continuous, and the sound of trumpets rises and falls.

In the blink of an eye, the Sanshan military camp was already boiling.

The rapid sound of drums echoed in the camp of the Three Mountains, and groups of rogue armor soldiers swarmed along the reserved passage between the camps towards the outer camp wall.

The neighing of the horses resounded, the sound of the horses' hooves was rapid, and the rogue spirit riders in iron armor had already mounted their respective war horses and followed the banners of their own teams quickly.

Li Yangchun pressed the Yanling knife on his waist and stepped out of the camp.

Behind him, Lin Shengquan and Li Guo followed closely with a group of generals under Li Yangchun.

Then a group of elite horsemen guarding outside the tent saw Li Yangchun stepping out of the camp, and they all lined up to follow, like the stars holding the moon, and they were clustered in the middle of the position.

Li Yangchun went all the way west and stepped onto the westernmost lookout of the Zhongshan camp.

The three mountains are connected, and Li Yangchun has set up a total of three battalions, namely Dongshan, Xishan, and Zhongshan.

The three mountains do not have a name, but Li Yangchun divides them by direction.

The eastern part of the mountain is located in the east, and the terrain to the east begins to slow down.

The western mountains are located in the west, and the terrain to the west is also beginning to slow down.

Zhongshan is sandwiched in the center by two mountains, and the three mountains are distributed in an inverted "product" character.

To the south is the rolling ridge mountain range, and to the north is the plains.

However, if you attack directly from the north, you will be attacked by three camps at the same time: Dongshan, Xishan, and Zhongshan.

This is because the plains to the north are surrounded by three mountains.

Li Yangchun took a step forward, left the crowd, leaned on the guardrail with both hands, and looked northwest.

To the northwest of the West Mountain, the large array of the Ming army slowly pressed from the sky like a dark cloud.

The rangers of officers and men walked on both sides and in front of the large formation, like a barrier, separating all exploration in the middle and near distances.

Li Yangchun saw that his scout, who had been walking outside the three mountains, was easily expelled.

There were more than 20 teams of officers and men, in groups of three or five, distributed on three sides.

The officers and soldiers appeared to be disorganized, but in fact they were in order.

As soon as one of the teams engaged, the surrounding rangers were immediately able to gather and instantly turn from a small squad into a large group.

Although the number of scouts he scattered was numerous, they obviously had the advantage of numbers, but they were defeated one after another, and even there were partial routs.

Li Yangchun's heart sank slightly, the scouts he sent out were basically the elite horsemen under his command, as well as the best in the horse army.

There were four hundred scouts outside the western mountain, three or four times the number of scouts and rangers of officers and soldiers, but they didn't even get the slightest benefit, and they were completely at a disadvantage.

"Chen Wang......"

Li Yangchun is very unfamiliar with this name.

A new guerrilla, how could there be such a strong cavalry under his command.

You must know that most of the elite cavalry under his command are from the border army of Guyuan and Yansui, and there are many battalion soldiers.

Even if you encounter the battalion scouts of the three towns in northern Shaanxi, you can also support it, so that you will not be so embarrassed.

Li Yangchun's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the officers and soldiers scattered in the distance, and the more he looked at the tactics, the more familiar he felt.

"This cavalry is a Liao cavalry who fled from Sanshui."

At this time, Li Guo said at the right time.

Li Yangchun's eyes were slightly condensed, and Li Guo's words made him finally recall why he was so familiar.

This is the tactics of the Liao cavalry, and this is the case when the scouts under the command of You Shiwei and Zuo Liangyu do not collect the battlefield for the army.

The advance of the Ming army was not slow, and in just two quarters of an hour, it was already about to advance to the front of the Xishan camp.

After many years of fighting, it is naturally very simple to judge the size of the enemy army according to the size of the military formation and the gaps.

Although the distance is still far away, it is close enough for Li Yangchun.

The two battalions of the Ming army seem to be pouring out, definitely more than 4,000 people.

The horse army numbered about seven hundred in front, and the number of rangers who served as a barrier outside should be about two hundred, and the rest were all infantry.

The infantry lined up in marching columns, and the Ming army marched in general in bureaus.

Li Yangchun saw it clearly, the Ming army's infantry formation, a total of 32 bureaus, according to the full strength of 112 people in each game, a total of 3,584 people.

Although the Ming army has always had the problem of eating empty salaries, the military establishment is absolutely uneven.

But receiving salaries and going into battle are completely different things, and no matter how bad the level is, the generals and colonels know that the number is not enough, and there will inevitably be flaws in the battle.

Therefore, when going into battle, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be replenished, and generally speaking, the salary is one set, and the battle is another set.

And if the number of people is too short, you can see the difference even from a distance.

Now the Ming army under the west mountain is beginning to line up, and the number of all military formations is not much different, and it is definitely sufficient.

There will only be more, never less.

The strong northwest wind blew like a sharp blade scraping bones, and the sound of hunting when the banner was swept by the wind echoed in everyone's ears.

The blue robe that Li Yangchun was wearing was blown up.

Three shots in the sun, the golden crow is empty, but there is no feeling of heat.

Li Yangchun tightened the robe on his body, and the sunlight fell on his body, which did not make him feel the slightest warmth.

Li Yangchun's eyes narrowed slightly, and after many years, he finally returned to Shaanxi.

Autumn came earlier than I remembered, and the weather seemed colder than ever.

Li Yangchun closed his eyes and thought back to the old days.

He still remembers when he was a teenager, when it was still the Wanli period.

The weather doesn't seem to be so cold, and autumn doesn't come so quickly.

The wind howled in Li Yangchun's ears, bringing Li Yangchun's thoughts back from the sky.

Li Yangchun opened his eyes again, he didn't know why, but he knew what it meant to be cold.

The long winter will undoubtedly kill more people and cause more disasters in Shaanxi.

Li Yangchun opened his eyes again, and his heart sank again.

Because in the short period of time he recalled, the Ming army had already launched a military formation, from the original marching army column to a combat queue.

With such a speed of changing formations, Li Yangchun has fought for so many years, and he has not seen it a few times.

Li Yangchun now felt that he might be a little reckless, and took the order to go to Gongchang Mansion.

But now is not the time to regret it, Li Yangchun has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he quickly stabilized his mind.

Most of the scouts had returned to the camp, and a small number were still wandering around the perimeter of the barrier stretched by the rangers of the Ming army, looking for an opportunity.

At this moment, Li Yangchun's long-awaited detective report finally arrived.

"Detective Detective!"

A soldier with a banner on his back, covered in dust, hurriedly ascended the lookout.

"The enemy's infantry force numbered about 3,500 people, many of whom wore armor, and about 1,000 cavalrymen, all of whom were armoured."

"There are many casualties in our troops, and most of them have withdrawn to the barracks."

The detective recited the report aloud, and the atmosphere above the lookout sank.

Thousands of cavalry were all armoured, and most of the infantry were heavily armoured.

This news comes from the detective's report, and there is absolutely no exaggeration.

The infantry team is very well armoured, and to use this word, that is, even ordinary soldiers basically have armor.

"The enemy carries more than a dozen artillery pieces, and the equipment transported in front of the battle is a new type of combat vehicle."

"The chariot is not equipped with cannons, and the front is like a shield, and it is extremely wide, about dozens of sides."
