CHAPTER XVII
Under Tang Yang's order, the first platoon quickly retreated through the gap, and went to the supply storage place to reload the water tank, this time the flood flag followed the sect leader to return to the east, and the preparation was very sufficient, this kind of box filled with poisonous water was equipped with five per person, and there was usually a horse responsible for transporting these materials.

The second platoon began to continue to spray poisonous water, and the Tartar cavalry rushed upwards as if they were not killed, and few people were killed by the poisonous water, but they were all trampled into flesh by the horses of their companions because they fell off their horses. The front of the trench was already filled with corpses, some of which had fallen into the trench.
Although Yin Tianzheng and Tang Yang had fought with the Tartars before, they had never been so tragic, and these Tartars seemed to launch suicide attacks with the determination to die.
In fact, they really thought right, before the war, Hadan Baatel said to these cavalry recruited from the Western Regions: Your commander Mandu Ratu was killed by a gang, which is not only a shame for the imperial court, but also a shame for your Western Regions Corps, and there is only one way to get rid of the shame - that is, to eliminate this gang called Mingjiao, if you can't do it, you will give your commander Mandu Latu a martyr.
Many of these cavalrymen are Mandu Latu's house slaves, the master died in battle, and their house slaves are indeed to be buried or resold again according to the system, for hundreds of years, this rule has always been on the grassland, so they regard death as home, at least the family members who died on the battlefield can continue to live a stable life.
"Yan Yuan, order the brothers of Houtu Banner not to dig trenches anymore, these Tartars are crazy, and no amount of digging is enough. The Houtu Banner was assembled in the rear and stood by, and we had to fight and retreat. Yin Tianzheng decisively gave the order.
Yan Yuan jumped out of the tunnel, looked ahead, and ordered: "Brothers of the Houtu Banner, come up and form a formation to defend against the enemy." ā
At the sound of an order, one by one the gray-faced men jumped out of the tunnel, followed Yan Yuan to the formation of a formation ten zhang behind the flood flag, and just time to rest.
"Tang Yang, the trench is about to be filled by them, retreat and fight, and use the forest to fight them." Yin Tianzheng said to Tang Yang.
"Obey, Eagle King." Tang Yang didn't reply, he said a word, his eyes staring at the front. More than half of the trenches were filled, and they were all wounded and pushed down.
The blade continued to form in front of Zhang Wuji's nine people, except for the middle part that was killed by the nine people, at least two columns of cavalry on both sides rushed forward, and these cavalry gradually formed a huge torrent and continued to rush towards the direction of the forest.
This torrent blocked Hassen's gaze to the west, he did not see the defeat of Suhabu in time, his eyes were more focused on the direction of the forest and the Chinese army.
The invincible nine figures in the direction of the Chinese army greatly hit his confidence, and for the first time he began to feel that maybe today's battle was not easy to win, although he was shocked at this time, but he was not depressed, he did not have the intuitive feeling of Hadanbatel.
The second row of soldiers of the flood banner had also finished spraying the poisonous water in the water tank and retreated, and two feet later, a row of soldiers standing ready to spray immediately began to press the mechanism.
The hidden weapon detachment of the southeast branch also retreated, the trench had been filled, and Tartar cavalry broke through one after another.
"Xiao Zhao, Zhiruo, Zhen'er, the three of you retreat." Yin Tianzheng looked ahead and said.
Although Xiao Zhao and the three of them looked anxious, they didn't speak, and obediently ran to the rear, carrying the exercises, and a few of them arrived next to the array of the Houtu Banner.
"Tang Yang, Yan Yuan, hand over the team to the deputy flag commander, and you two come to the front. All those above the first-class realm came to the front to snipe the Tartars. ā
Yin Tianzheng gave an order and ran forward, Tang Yang was beside him, followed closely behind, Yan Yuan was ten zhang away, and hurriedly rushed over.
"Brothers, the attack distance of the flood banner is four zhang, and our range of activity is within two zhang, and no tartar can appear within one zhang in front of the flood flag. Stab the horse first and then kill people, hinder the running of the Tartar cavalry as much as possible, and delay the time. Yin Tianzheng said as he stabbed out with a sword, quickly entering and exiting the neck of the galloping war horse, and the Tartar cavalry who was about to swing the knife fell down with the war horse, and was stabbed in the throat by Yin Tianzheng with a sword, and suddenly choked.
Tang Yang's weapon is also a long sword, like this, first stabbing the horse and then this person, in the blink of an eye, three horses fell on the ground and three Tartars died.
Yan Yuan was holding a shovel more than one meter long, black and swarthy looking very ordinary, casually patted on the horse's neck, the horse neighed and fell to the ground, the shovel was sent forward, and the Tartar's neck was half shoveled.
The three of them were one zhang apart, flashing and moving, the defense within six zhang of the left and right was seamless, no war horse could rush through, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 war horses fell within six zhang.
The trench was already filled with corpses, and the Tartar cavalry rushed over, and although the poisonous water of the flood banner was not broken from beginning to end, more cavalry rushed over, and these cavalry stepped over the pile of corpses, and then diverted to the left and right, and scattered in all directions.
The first-class masters in the Ming army quickly filled the position and fought with these cavalry, saying that most of these first-class masters were from the White Camel Mountain, and the time to join the Ming Sect was not long, and they did not hesitate to contribute their strength at this moment.
There were more and more cavalry, and gradually there were centurions and commanders gathered the cavalry and spread across the flanks, intending to attack from the flanks.
The Flood Banner was the only long-range attack force of the Ming army in the forest, and Yin Tianzheng and the others fought to protect it. At present, the flood flag has retreated to two feet in front of the Houtu flag, and the water tank on the back is already the last, and it has been more than half an hour since the start of the war.
Yin Tianzheng's bodies were also covered with bloodstains, and at this moment they were surrounded by a steady stream of cavalry, although these cavalrymen were hindered by the corpses under their feet, but the number of them was too many, and they were fighting every moment.
The Houtu Banner Brigade had formed a small formation and fought with the cavalry that had entered the forest.
Although the forest is not dense, since it can be called a forest, there are still a few trees, all of which are unique to the Western Regions.
Soon, these cavalrymen who entered the forest found that their war horses could not give full play to their mobility in the forest, and their flexibility was much inferior to that of the enemy.
The forest was not large, and so many cavalry poured in, and the cavalry immediately occupied twice as much space as they dismounted, and the narrow forest seemed even more unbearable, and they fought in piles.
