Chapter 45 Response
"Go!" Jin Ming shouted, and the spear in his hand was thrown, and Kankan got into the back of a Tartar, which spat blood from his mouth and fell off the galloping horse. This is the last of a group of Tartar scouts, in order to gather and annihilate these five people, Jin Ming tried his best, and this last one chased him personally for half an hour.
Jin Ming hurried two steps, and saw that the empty horse ran far away and couldn't catch up, so he gave up. The Tartar's bow and arrows were powerful, and five people were ambushed and more than a dozen of his subordinates were killed, all of whom were old pawns brought from Lin'an Mansion, and the sacrifice of each one made his heart ache.
Hurry up and bury the corpses of his subordinates, Jin Ming recruited the remaining subordinates, and this place has just entered the territory of Jiankang Mansion. The Tartars' pursuers couldn't shake off like a shadow, so as a last resort, Jin Ming ordered his deputy to take a large group of men and horses and the accompanying people first, and he took a team of old soldiers to stay behind to block the attack.
In the field, the mobility of the Tartars was fully exerted, guerrilla, harassment, and a few dozen people could stir up the collapse of a team of thousands of people. The only long-range crossbow that could restrain them was not equipped with a few people, so Jin Ming ordered his men to carefully collect the bows and arrows on the Tartars, and then quickly chased after the team.
"Commander, this is the third team, the Tartars are broken into pieces, and they don't collide with us at all, and I don't know how many there are along the way." A subordinate muttered, this battle was really heartwarming.
"The Tartars are difficult, brothers should be careful, this place is not far from Jiankang, and the opportune reinforcements must be on the way, cheer up. Old dog, can your godarm bow grow a little more eye, and waste as much of a goddamn crossbow arrow. Jin Ming raised his hand and pulled out his spear from the Tartar's corpse, blood gushing out like a fountain.
The front brigade had already crossed Majiadu and approached Jiangning Town, Jin Ming led more than 400 people to deal with the scouts of the Tartar pioneers, and the casualties were nearly 100 people, and the Tartars were still entangled.
As the advance scout of the entire army, he received the order to entangle the entire Song army brigade, but he didn't expect this group of hundreds of barbarians to be so tenacious, and dragged his thousand people behind with foot against horse.
The entire army of more than 300,000 people, the Mongolian cavalry plus the Semu people is only 50,000 households, after Ezhou divided the troops, Zuo Prime Minister Boyan only left 30,000 people, and Lu Gang was even more cautious after folding a team of 1,000 people.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Jiankang City, Lin Heshu made up his mind, waved his hand to summon an attendant, and commanded him.
"Give the order to go down, gather the whole team, and make sure that gang of barbarians is annihilated on the flat ground ahead."
Jin Ming felt that his pressure increased suddenly, and the original Tartar scouts had been trying to get rid of their entanglement, and suddenly, several hundred-man teams made a detour to their flanks and backs, faintly encircling.
"Commander, the Tartars are coming up, whether to fight or withdraw, there has to be a decision."
"Retreat into the woods first, and then talk about it at night." Jin Ming pointed to the slope and said categorically. The town of Majiadu was close to the left, but he did not give the order to go there, there were many people in the town, and once the war started, it would cause a catastrophe.
Hundreds of people withstood the rain of arrows shot by the Tartars, fought and retreated, and finally retreated into the woods, just a few dozen steps, more than 30 people fell, and entered the forest, each according to the trees, finally offset the power of the Tartars' cavalry.
There were still nearly two hours before dark, Jin Ming looked at the sky worriedly, the Tartars would not have much to do except to attack, fortunately, the verdant trees were difficult to burn lightly, otherwise they could be forced out by smoke.
Lin He looked at the sky with a sinking face, thinking that this group of people would retreat into Majiadu, who would have thought that they would break through the flanks and enter the woods, and the heavy troops placed in the rear to block them were completely lost.
At his signal, four hundred-man teams dismounted, approaching the forest from different directions, and the riders on the periphery were waiting for those who ran out with bows and arrows. Jin Ming had already seen their intentions through the binoculars, and whispered the order, and everyone knew that a fierce battle was coming, and they all clenched their weapons in their hands.
With a dull impact, a scimitar that Jin Ming had dodged with his head down slashed into the trunk, but the owner of the knife was pierced by a spear. Before he could draw the gun, there was a sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air behind him, and the short Jin Ming rolled over on his side, pulled out the bending knife at his waist with his backhand, and slashed at the shoulder of the tartar in a half circle.
Lin Hezhu also listened to the screams coming from the woods, most of them were made by his own people, and he knew that he had met a strong enemy, and the Song people would rather die together than go out of the forest. His advantages could not be brought into play at all, this place was too close to the enemy, and it was impossible to besiege it for a long time, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Qianhu, no, there is an enemy brigade approaching in front, and it is only five hundred steps away." At this moment, the scout rider who was on guard brought him bad news, no, if he didn't leave, he would be the next stinger.
"Blow the trumpet, call it up!" Lin Hejian raised his right hand and gave the order decisively, and when he heard the sound of the horn, the rest of the people in the forest retreated, and his heart was dripping with blood, and it was only a long time later, and more than half of the four hundred men and horses were lost.
"Don't chase after you, Ren Er leaves." Jin Ming ordered in a deep voice, although it was not clear why the enemy had withdrawn his troops, but his side was no longer able to pursue. In the battle just now, more than 100 brothers fell in a pool of blood, which made him grit his teeth with hatred.
The assembled team of 1,000 people slowly retreated towards the way they came, but Lin Heshu looked back unwillingly, the punishment for failing the mission was small, and the loss of hundreds of subordinates made him sad. The silhouette of the Song People's team gradually appeared in his sight, and the sound of neat footsteps seemed to come from the sky.
"Hold your gun and prepare to engage the enemy." The order came from the loudspeaker, and the entire brigade formed a huge horizontal formation, spreading along the road, and the spears were raised by the sergeants in the front row from their shoulders to their hands on their chests, and the tips of countless spears shone golden in the reflection of the setting sun, like the stars of the heavenly river.
As the saying goes, "If the army is full, there is no boundary." At this moment, in Ye Lin Heshu's mind, this Song Jun gave him the feeling that this was like this. As the formation advanced, new flags were constantly being picked out of the air, and the other end of the horizontal column was out of his sight.
Liu Yu rode his brown war horse with the Chinese army slowly, and the handsome flag fluttering behind him was a striking traditional "Liu" character, in order to achieve this effect, Liu Yu almost made up all the soldiers in Jiankang City, but only more than 7,000 people, including Yuan Hong's village soldiers and the Xu rebels who had just surrendered.
Raising the binoculars in his hand and seeing the Tatar cavalry retreating, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that there would be a Tatar brigade after this cavalry. If there is a field battle, once the only combat power of Jiankang City in front of him is annihilated or consumed, the city defense battle behind it will not be able to fight.
Jin Ming also saw the arrival of reinforcements through the binoculars, he didn't expect it to be such a big battle, and beckoned the rest of the brothers to quickly withdraw from the woods and go around the edge of the military formation. didn't have time to see Liu Yu, so he took people and headed in the direction of Jiankang.
After the Tatar cavalry disappeared from the binoculars, Liu Yu ordered the entire army to retreat in turn. After Jiang Cai's cavalry was in charge, using the military horses of Jiankang Mansion, this cavalry army expanded to 1,000 people, as long as it did not run into the Tartar brigade, the scattered reconnaissance cavalry was no longer a problem.
This time, in addition to answering Jin Ming, Liu Yu also coerced all the people along the road, Majiadu, Jiangning Town, Banqiao, all the towns and villages in the house, all sent the forbidden army as propagandists, under the deterrence of PS pictures, most of the people chose to follow, and a very small number of diehards were also forcibly taken away.
On the second day, Jin Ming and Liu Yu rode together from the south gate into Jiankang City, under the plaque of the city gate, there were several baskets with heads, it was Xu Mao Weng Huang and others, next to the white lime brush with a few big words: "Betray the country and join the enemy, pigs and dogs are not as good." Jin Ming only glanced at it, and then whipped his horse in.
