.     Chang Yonggang would not be able to command the army to fight. His purpose was to come here was to play a role in hindering the enemy's masters when a martial arts master from the Qin army launched a raid. He didn't care about anything else. But this did not prevent him from being interested in this, especially when he was curious about Zhang Yu's arrangement at the bridgehead.

"Person Zhang, since we are going to defend the bridge, wouldn't it be better to concentrate our troops? Why did you make those arrangements in front of the bridge?" Chang Yonggang asked curiously, pointing to the Ming army set up dozens of meters away in front of the bridge.

Zhang Yu naturally knew everything about Chang Yonggang's inquiry.

"Mr. Chang, look at the open land ahead. We have set up a layer of arc-shaped protection circle, which is actually to protect our central position. If we do not do this, the enemy will bypass from both sides. If they arrange strong crossbows or large numbers of archers on our sides, it will be a great threat to our bridgehead defenders. Because of the terrain, we cannot expand more troops. If they are allowed to continuously suppress our bridgehead on the flank, the bridgehead will eventually be unable to defend."

Zhang Yu pointed ahead and talked freely. He was quite proud to be able to point out the country in front of such a master. In that place, he used the cement left over the building of the Tube Tower and the endless bluestone from the river to build a series of arc-shaped defense lines. It was actually a half-man-high chest wall. The chest wall was half-arc, and there were four at the front, just guarding the places where the two wings could threaten the bridgehead. There were three on the second floor, two on the third floor, and then behind were two on the bridgehead. Standing from their place, the defense line was like an open folding fan, with 500 soldiers, and 200 people arranged behind these defense lines. There were not many soldiers on the tube tower, and only sixteen people were arranged on each tube tower, and these people were mainly responsible for a total of eight crossbow machines. These big killing weapons that guarded the bridgehead did not require many people to control.

"What if the enemy uses a catapult to attack?" Chang Yonggang asked suddenly.

Zhang Yu smiled: "At least they dare not use a trench to smash the bridge. They want to seize the bridge and use it to cross the river. The trench is powerful and destructive, but his accuracy is not satisfactory. If the bridge is smashed, wouldn't they have a waste of effort? It's not suitable for forced crossing here."

"As a matter of fact, there are articles everywhere!" Chang Yonggang nodded repeatedly: "But there are indeed a little too few of five hundred people."

"It depends on how many people they are willing to exchange for!" Zhang Yu said lightly: "Mr. Chang, if there are too many casualties, the blow to morale will be extremely serious. I bet that if the enemy lies here, I am afraid that their attack will be powerless."

"You only have five hundred people, and you are thinking about annihilation of thousands of Qin troops here. Is this too much appetite?" Chang Yonggang couldn't believe Zhang Yu, and this kid was swearing nonsense.

"That's not sure!" Zhang Yu smiled.

As the two were talking, Chang Yonggang's ears moved slightly a few times. He turned his head to listen for a while, turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, "The sound of horse hooves seemed to be like a dozen riders."

"Scout!" Zhang Yu blurted out.

"It seems like one riding in front, and dozens of riding in back!" Chang Yonggang heard it for a moment and spoke again.

Zhang Yu's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted at the guarded soldiers on the tube floor: "Blow the whistle and prepare for the battle."

A sharp whistle sounded above the tube building of Xiushui River Bridge. The soldiers who were busy laying out obstacles threw away their things and ran back to the position one by one. After a while, the entire fan-shaped position was already covered with soldiers.

A little leaned, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded. Zhang Yu looked forward. As Chang Yonggang said, one rider was in front and dozens of riders were chasing behind. The man in front was undoubtedly the scout of the Ming army, but he looked very embarrassed at this time.

The feathered arrows were flying behind him, and the Ming army scout in front of him was lying on the horse, fleeing only to beat the horse, and there was no possibility of a fight back.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Zhang Yu said anxiously. He could not send his subordinates out to greet him. The other party was a cavalry, and he was a soldier here. He sent dozens of people to greet him. In the eyes of dozens of cavalry scouts on the other party, there were only a bunch of vegetables to be chopped. Those who could act as scouts were the leaders in the army.

"Iron Ox," he shouted, and a man ran to him, carrying an iron-tied bow in his hand. In the Ming Dynasty, because of the existence of crossbow machines, soldiers like archers with a long training cycle have basically been eliminated, and the few remaining archers can be called sharpshooters, all of whom are very skilled in archery. Their bows can also be tailored for them by the military workshop according to their own requirements, and are basically used as slaughtermen.

"Go and pick that brother up!" Zhang Yu shouted.

"Yes, the lieutenant!" Tie Niu responded, held the iron-tied bow in one hand, grabbed a pot of arrows in the other hand, and rushed to the open area in front.

At this moment, the running Ming army scout screamed and threw himself to the ground. Several feather arrows were inserted into the thighs of the war horse, and one of them was so desperate that it hit the vital point of the feces. The scout immediately jumped off the horse, without stopping or looking back, and ran forward wildly.

With a whoosh, another arrow flew over and shot the scout in the calf. The scout fell heavily to the ground, turned over and pulled out the sword from his waist.

At this moment, the iron bull suddenly emerged from behind a stone, and opened his bow, drew an arrow, and with a whoosh, he rushed into the front of a Qin army scout and fell down. The shooting skills of these sharpshooters in the Ming army were far beyond the ordinary people.

As soon as the arrow was out, the iron bull quickly led his bow, shot three arrows in a row, and the three riders fell off the horse. At this time, the scouts chasing were divided into two strands. The two riders rushed towards the Ming army scouts who were lying on the ground, while the other people rushed towards the iron bull. While approaching, they kept drawing bows and shooting.

When the two shot each other, the Iron Niu was not so calm, and the opponent's horse speed was too fast. It was obvious that the other party had no war horses and planned to kill both of them and retreat calmly after they were killed.

Tie Niu could only fight back while pulling his bow and retreating to the obstacle area behind him. His accurate head was not very good at this time. The opponent's scout could calmly avoid it.

"Mr. Chang!" On the bridgehead, Zhang Yu turned to look at Chang Yonggang. His current state is that Tien Niu can ensure no harm, but the scout must be killed on the spot.

Chang Yonggang smiled and bent down to pick up a few stones from the ground. In fact, they were not stones, but some small cement balls left over from the repaired tube building some days ago, but the hardness was even greater.

Chang Yonggang waved his arms and a muffled sound. Zhang Yu felt a flash in front of him. The two Qin cavalrymen who were approaching the Ming army scouts in the distance were wielding their swords to cut them down suddenly flew backwards from their horses. In the air, blood splashed out, and bright red flowers bloomed in the air.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth wide and forgot to cheer. At this position, a place where even a strong bow could not be shot, this person simply waved his arms and killed two people.

The Ming army scout who was already preparing to fight for the trapped beasts was lucky enough to die. He turned over and ran towards the bridge, limping towards the bridge. Chang Yonggang was here, still waving his arms. Every time he waved, Zhang Yu beside him could only hear a soft sound, and then one of the Qin soldiers and cavalry in the distance fell down.

In a moment, more than ten elite Qin soldiers scouts fell to the ground, leaving only one war horses, standing in a daze on the open space, holding the knight's clothes in vain in his mouth, trying to drag the knight who fell to the ground up.

Tieniu stared at the front with wide eyes, looked down at the bow in his hand, and then looked back at Chang Yonggang on the bridgehead, as if he was dreaming.

"Iron Niu, get the horse back!" Zhang Yu finally reacted and said with a loud voice. The trained war horses have always been precious property. "Go a few, help the brother back, and then search for the Qin scouts."

The scouts are all elite soldiers of the army, so there must be a lot of good things on them.

A moment later, the Ming army scout who had an arrow on his leg was carried back by two soldiers and helped him into the tube building of the doctor Wang Lingbo. Wang Lingbo didn't say anything nonsense. He removed the feather arrows that penetrated his calf to stop the bleeding, and then applied some ointment of unknown origin on the wound, then he started to stitch the wound like a slit.

Zhang Yu's scalp was numb, but the soldier in front of him did not frown, and he couldn't help but be shocked and shouted in his heart that the tough guy was so bad.

However, the soldier asked in a trembling voice: "Doctor, I don't feel anything on my legs. Is it useless?"

Wang Lingbo tied a knot on the end of the thread, picked up two plasters, and put them on one in front and one behind, then raised his head, "It's okay, I've applied squid cream to you, so you won't feel the pain. You will only realize that the squid cream is over when the squid cream passes! It's nothing, I'm lucky, I didn't hurt the bones, but the wound is a bit big, and it will leave scars when healed."

"What's the scar? Scars are not ashamed to see people!" The scout smiled happily.

"Brother, why are you back alone? What's going on?" Zhang Yu finally asked the important thing.

"The enemy's large army has arrived, with a total of 10,000 people and two thousand cavalrymen. The enemy general led by him is called Zhong Zhen. Our team of scouts collided with their scouts, and I escaped alone. Master Captain, please give me a horse, and I want to go back and report to General Zou." The scout said.

Zhang Yu nodded, "It's coming! It's a good thing. Kill my robes. I want you to return ten or a hundred times. Brother, can you still run long distances?"

"It's okay, my leg is injured, I can't walk very hard, but I'm fine riding a horse. Thank you, Doctor!" The scout stood up and said loudly.

"Okay." Zhang Yu waved his hand, Tie Chi took a horse he had collected before and handed it to the scout. The scout was not many times, and turned over the horse, crossed the bridge in a row, and rushed towards the direction of Baoqing Camp's camp.
