Chapter 51: Closure

The Yuan people did not chase them out because they were cautious with their troops, let alone soft-hearted, but because they were obscured by smoke, and even the results of the battle may not be able to distinguish, which is the same for the Song people, if they want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack again, the edge of the burning camp is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

"Second Army, follow so-and-so."

The bearded man shouted in a distinctly northern-accented Chinese accent, and the five commanders under his command followed his banner closely, and the column of 2,500 men spread out in front of the enemy camp, which was no longer as close as the 10,000-strong formation, but almost the straggler line of later generations.

Their pace increased sharply as they approached the covered area of stone bullets, and the man at the head chose an appropriate time, just the gap where a batch of stone bullets landed, there was no shout, everyone was holding spears and cat waists, and when the next batch of stone bullets arrived, their team had almost rushed through the covered area, except for a few unlucky people.

Outside the edge of the camp, a trench more than a foot wide had been filled with rolling logs, and a little further on, everything wooden was burning, whether it was a fence, a horse, or a watchtower, and the fire glowed with a scorching light, like a gate of hell with its mouth wide open, waiting for any challenger to enter.

Without the slightest hesitation, the man who was running fast strode across the trench with rolling logs, and the horses that had been moving forward with their heads held high were burned into a charcoal rack, which were scattered on the ground with a spear, and stepping on the embers of the unquenched spark, he slammed into the raging fire, and for a moment the beard was blown into a ball by the flames, and the corners of the robes woven of cheesecloth began to blacken, and a small spark spread to the whole body.

He was followed by two thousand five hundred equally dressed foot soldiers, whose robes were scorched, their faces blackened, and their nerves, and whoever they had been could not help shouting the same slogan at this moment, through the thick smoke, towards the enemy army protected by the sword and shield hands, and rushed towards the dense and cold light of the arrows.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Looking at these burning people rushing out of the thick smoke, Sai Chidian, who was protected by the army, felt a deep tremble, and when he found that his military formation actually hesitated for a moment, he had to let out a roar himself, and the flying arrows in the sky were shot out in an instant, and those Song people who were on fire were constantly shot to the ground, but more people stepped over the corpses of their companions and rushed to the front of the formation, and the short-handed combat was about to explode.

As the one at the forefront, the man had four or five arrows stuck in his body, but in addition to the exposed arm, he found that the breastplate, which seemed to be extremely light and not too hard, could actually block the arrow's close-range shot, at least, he didn't feel any pain in his chest, which meant that even if the arrow entered the flesh, it was not deep.

Pierced the spear into the body of a planer's foot soldier, before he had time to pull it out, a knife light came to his eyes, he abandoned the gun and raised his head to flash the blow at the same time, the long knife was already in his hand, the other party was about a hundred-level officer, the two shouted something together, and fought together, at this time the man's mind no longer had the ridiculous idea of fighting for the enemy, anyone who wanted to take his life was his enemy, and there was only one purpose of the battle, to survive, that's all.

The more than 2,000 soldiers who rushed into the enemy formation with him all had the same idea, even if they were burned by the flames, it was not as terrible as losing their lives, and the fighting spirit aroused by the blood was ignited at this moment, even if they lost their swords and guns, they would hold the enemy's body and use the flames on their bodies as weapons to burn the opponent, which was no longer driven by will, but an instinct.

"Go up and block it! There are not many of them. ”

Sai Chidian never expected such a battle, even on the tenacious Hengshanzhai city wall, those Song defenders who did not hesitate to die with the enemy did not let him waver in the slightest, but the moment he saw these people coming out of the fire, he sadly found that he already had the idea of running away, because there were no such soldiers under his command.

"Third Army, advance."

The same five commanders, under the leadership of a former Jiang Cai commander, kept a gap of half an hour from the front, in order to leave a space to sprint, through the covered area of the stone bullets, stepping on the footprints left by the front, stepping on the collapsed ashes, and in less than a moment, they rushed into the enemy's camp.

"Listen to a certain order, throw!"

Seeing that the front was entangled with the enemy, the third army jumped up with an arrow, and the spear in his hand was raised by him, and flew into the sky with his hand, drawing a beautiful arc, passing over the heads of his own people, and falling into the enemy's archer brigade.

Learning from the practice of their own fingers, 2,500 foot soldiers threw the spears in their hands together, and for a time the spears flying high covered the enemy's sky like a nightmare, and those shooters in light armor had the idea of escaping without exception, and the chaos made this round of attacks more effective, the guns fell like a giant scythe of death, harvesting a large number of lives in the dense crowd, and the people who were nailed to the mud by the spears wailed, converging into a wave of rushing sound, so that Sai Chidian, who was watching the battle behind, closed his eyes tightly.

"Where is the Ulan Kudu, where are the cavalry!"

In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that he still had a cavalry army in his hand, and if they could attack from one side at this moment, the Song people who had lost their spears would not have the power to resist at all, but Ulan Hudu could not respond to his call, and the Mongol cavalry wandering outside the camp was pinned down by the Song cavalry that outnumbered them, and neither side could provide support for their own footmen.

The arrival of the Third Army replenished the front, which had been reduced in numbers, but it was not enough to collapse a large array of tens of thousands of people with one or two blows, if the commander's fighting will was tenacious enough. Sai Chidian was not lacking in reason, but when he saw with his own eyes that the Song people, who were far fewer than him, were advancing step by step, he was helpless, and his previous confidence would be lost little by little.

"Father!" Hu Xin was obviously not as calm as him, and Song Cai only dispatched a few thousand people, and he hit the center of the camp, seeing that he was only a few dozen steps away from the big tent, his face was already a little anxious, and he couldn't help but remind him.

"Shut up." Sai Chidian scolded without looking back, now is the most intense moment, the Song people's attack seems to be fierce, their own casualties are not small, as their advance deepens, the entire battle line has become a concave semicircle.

After some retreat and stalemate, the numerical superiority of the already side is slowly manifested, the weakest ends of the Song people are constantly compressed to the back, from a distance they have formed an encirclement with a gap, as long as one more is invested, these Song people can be completely surrounded, after a calm judgment, he raised his hand and gave a decisive order.

"Duan Zhiming, ordered him to lead people to rush out, if he can annihilate the enemy army, even if he is guilty of meritorious service."

What he can mobilize in his hands, in addition to the part in the Hengshan Village, is only the part of Duan Zhiming who retreated before, and sending them out at this time, in addition to completing the encirclement, it also has the role of blocking the enemy, you must know that the Song people still have a lot of troops.

Among the four armies in the left chamber, the first army is the 3,000 cavalry under Jiang Cai, and the last three armies are all foot soldiers, and the cards in Liu Yu's hand are in addition to the four commanders of the fourth army in the left chamber who are slowly moving forward, as well as the 5,000 people led by Ma Ji's front army, and the rest are all resting in the rear because of the previous rout, and they can't be sent for a while.

Liu Yu looked around a little helplessly, he was actually very annoyed when the battle was like this, like this kind of refueling tactics that kept coming forward, even if he won in the end, it was just a lose-lose fight, but the terrain in this area was like this, and it was no way to find a detour, he looked at the mountains in the distance, and suddenly felt as if he had missed something.

The cavalry of Ulan Hudu defended the flank of the camp, which was already where there was no way to retreat, and the cavalry of the Song people did not relax their coveting for a moment, obviously with another purpose, the fence in front of him and the rejection of horses could not make him feel safe, and the sound of fighting from the camp was always stirring his nerves, but it could not make him move for half a minute, because the other party was in the same situation.

As time passed, the flames on the edge of the camp slowly began to extinguish, the smoke gradually dissipated, the battle ahead became clear, the assault of the second and third armies on the left continued to advance, but the more they broke forward, the deeper they were surrounded by the enemy, and the fourth army as the response was blocked by the infantry at the gate of the battalion, and the two sides were already entangled together, and it was difficult to form a breakthrough in a short period of time.

What to do? Liu Yu's palm holding the clairvoyant mirror began to sweat, and his heart was beating hard, the two sides are now in a state where you have me, I have you, even if the archers are sent again, it will not play a role, and the only reserve force is Ma Ji's foot soldier, do you want to send it now? Liu Yu took a deep breath and glanced in the direction of their array, just in time to meet the inquiring eyes of Shangma and Ji.

At this moment, as the commander of tens of thousands of people, Liu Yu finally felt the incomprehensible pressure, countless lives were in his words, it was by no means a refreshing experience, but there was an irrepressible fear quietly attacking.

"Haha, block it, go tell the city, let them send them all over, they must be annihilated!"

Seeing that his army surrounded the Song people, Sai Chidian did not hesitate to pass the order, Hengshanzhai is irrelevant, if his camp is broken by the Song people, even if the city is defeated, it will not be able to defend it in the end, only by breaking the enemy in front of him is the way to win.
