Chapter 155: Retreat from the enemy

The remnant sun was like blood, and the grass and trees on the hillside were red, which was stained with the blood of the tartars.

Dong Fox is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, always thinking that at this time, the recruiters will all die in vain, so he keeps increasing the size and increasing the size!

In order to regroup, he transferred Chang Bald from the middle and ordered him to lead his troops and horses to continue to attack the right side!

"Rush, kill! Rush to the side wall to appreciate a cow and a Han girl! "The bald man took off his robe, went naked, brandished his scimitar, and whined and screamed, and led the Uliangha warriors over the wounded soldiers all over the ground, and launched an unknown number of attacks on the side wall of the dead pillow.

This time, there was really no 'swarm' of arrow rain, and the sporadic arrows of the Ming army could not stop the pace of the elite of Uliangha. Except for the shirtless bald, they all wore leather armor, wore leather helmets, and held leather shields in their hands. It can resist ordinary bows and arrows and even the lead of firearms.

Subahai and Fried Flowers, who had suffered heavy casualties among the subordinates, couldn't help but curse secretly, Dong Fox, the old fox, deliberately consumed our strength, and then picked peaches!

But this is not the time to calculate, it is better to hurry up and take down the side wall!

So they gave a loud order, shouting at their troops to shoot at the wall, and suppress the Ming army with a dense rain of arrows.

The Ming army on the side wall was pressed under the battlement, and could not raise their heads at all. The enemy on both sides also didn't know what was going on, but they were dumb at the same time......

The bald man took the lead, rushed to the top of the hill without his life, exerted his legs, and jumped onto the wall!

The Ming army behind the arrow stack was startled, and before he could pick up the three-eyed gun, he wielded his double knives and killed several in a row like chopping melons and vegetables.

The morale of the Wuliangha warriors was greatly boosted, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they jumped up to the wall one after another, slashing at the Ming army.

The Ming army was crushed at the first touch, and they jumped off the wall and fled for their lives......

In the blink of an eye, this side wall is already full of Uliangha warriors!

With scimitars in one hand and leather shields in the other, they cheered and celebrated their victory......

"A bunch of idiots, haven't won yet!" Dong Fox scolded, but his eyes were full of spoiling, so brave and unmatched, he really deserved to be his younger brother.

This time I really let him talk, it's really not over yet......

Dong Fox suddenly saw that on the enemy towers on both sides, two fire dragons erupted almost at the same time, covering the entire side wall in a blink of an eye.

The Uliangha, who were celebrating, turned into fire men and fell to the wall screaming.

~~

The swarm of bees in the enemy building did run out, but there was still a fierce fire tank......

This is Qi Jiguang's restoration according to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and it also draws on Zhang Jian's invention of the Drainage King, so that the fire snake can spray seven or eight meters away. It can be described as a powerful version of the fierce fire oil tank.

It uses the 'stone grease oil' produced in Gaonu County, Shanxi Province as fuel, uses boiled copper as the cabinet, has four legs under it, and has a transverse pump with a pressure rod, which communicates with the oil tank, and can extract about three catties of fire oil for each pressure and spray out!

When the oil is ignited by the fire, the flames that erupt are like fire dragons. Because the enemy tower is more than a zhang higher than the side wall, the fire dragon is two or three meters longer than the flat ground jet. A salvo from both sides covered exactly twenty meters of side walls......

Looking at the warriors who were still showing off their might, they became fire men and fell down in a blink of an eye. The Uliangha people under the side wall rushed to the rescue. They took off their robes and slapped them, untied their water bags and poured them on the burning man, but instead of extinguishing them, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and even the rescuers set themselves on fire.

When the Mongols from the other tribes on the periphery saw this, they dropped their weapons and bowed down in reverence.

"Is this a surrender?" On the fortress, Tong Ziji couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's not." Qi Jiguang smiled faintly and said, "They believe in shamanism of nature worship. The first worship in this religion is fire, which they believe to come from the heavenly realm, is part of the sun and moon, and is the most sacred and clean, washing away all impurities and driving away demons. Therefore, they must not be enemies of fire, otherwise they will offend the god of fire, and they will not be able to light the fire in the future. ”

"No wonder the marshal is working so hard to get oil from Shaanxi." Tong Zigong suddenly said: "It turns out that I know that they are most afraid of this, Dashuai really knows everything!" ”

"For the general, he should know himself and his opponent, and he should also know a little bit about astronomy and geography." The corners of Qi Jiguang's mouth pulled up a smile and said, "It should be here today." ”

The sun had set, only the afterglow illuminated the sky, and Dong Fox had no intention of fighting, and soon blew the horn of the army.

In the twilight, he stood on the hillside with cold hands and feet, staring blankly at the defeated remnants of the defeated army.

Dong Fox knew very well that although his main force was still there, the Mongols were no longer the invincible army that swept the world during Genghis Khan's time. Now it's more appropriate to say it's a bunch of gangsters. Today, a tenth of his troops have been lost, and his morale has fallen to the extreme, and the leaders of the various departments are no longer making do with him, and they are obviously very dissatisfied with him, and there are attempts to passively disobey his orders.

On the other hand, the Ming army suffered very little damage today, and its morale was greatly boosted, and it would definitely reload those swarms of bees overnight, and some of them sprayed trains...... His own spirit has been lost, and even if he musters up enough courage to fight again tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be no other gain except for the loss of troops and generals.

But if the troops are withdrawn like this, how will they survive this winter? The tribes took him as their leader because he could take them with him to earn a living, and if he could not feed them, they would go east to Alta, or go further west to Qinghai to find the Oirats, and they would never stay and die.

The great-grandfather easily annexed the Weng Niute and Uziyat tribes, and the grandfather unified the Horqin grassland, is the huge family business about to be lost in his own hands? Dong Fox really couldn't accept this result.

"Second uncle, my third uncle is still alive!" His eldest nephew, Chang Ang, recovered Chang Bald from the defeated army.

Dong Fox came back to his senses and hurried down the hillside, and saw that there was a stretcher with a sub-car plate behind Changang, and on the stretcher was a three-dimensional bald.

I saw that the hair on his bald body was burned out, and the whole person was black, red, black and red, only his chest rose and fell slightly, and he could see that he was still alive.

"Second, second?" Dong Fox called him a few times, but he didn't react, so he had to wave his hand and let people carry him down and call the Mongolian doctor to show him.

"Uncle, what should I do, is Ming'er still attacking?" Chang Ang asked timidly. His father died at the foot of the Great Wall four years ago, and now the third uncle has basically confessed. This made him unable to help but feel a sincere fear of this side wall and the Ming army guarding the side wall.

"One more day!" Dong Fox gritted his teeth for a while, although the possibility of breaking through the side wall was very small, but he had to fight for it...... Of course, what is more important is to consume the troops of the Weng Niute and Uziyete forces, so that even if they return, they will not dare to have two hearts.

So at his insistence, the next day, the Mongols regrouped and launched another attack on the border wall.

But Subahai and Fried Flower were not stupid, seeing that the headquarters of Uliangha did not move, they only let themselves attack the city with two parts. The two of them knew that Dong Fox was not well-intentioned. instructed his subordinates to work but not to contribute, and Dong Fox sent people to urge, so they deduced that the subordinates were too tired. After many days of hurrying, I changed the place of siege, and after a day of fighting, I finally came up......

The so-called law does not blame the public, seeing that these guys have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, Dong Fox is helpless.

As a result, the intensity of the battle was completely incomparable with yesterday's, and after most of the battle, there were no hundreds of dead on the besieging side......

The Ming army defending the city didn't even sweat, and the prepared swarm of bees and fierce fire oil tanks were not used.

Dong Fox really couldn't stand this monkey show, the sun was still high, so he hastily ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Then he asked Su Bahai, Fried Flower and others to be called to his tent, and after a period of secret discussion, he decided to withdraw his troops tomorrow. Go back to the idea of fighting the Han people in Liaodong. It's really not good, and there are women, although they are poorer, and mosquito legs are also meat.

In short, now that Jizhen has Qi Jiguang, it is too hard to touch it anymore.

So at dawn the next day, they threw away their siege equipment, vacated their wagons, loaded them with wounds, and withdrew north along the same road.

The Mongols did not withdraw their troops overnight this time, and they were not afraid of the pursuit of the Ming army at all. I even wish that the fortress could come out to chase the soldiers, so they ate it in one bite and vented their hatred a little.

Because the last time they lost to the Ming army in a field battle was more than a hundred years ago.

This generation of Mongols had a deep-rooted belief that the Ming army would only shrink into castles and set firearms, and would not dare to go out of the city to fight them. There were Ming army generals who did not believe in evil, and they had to fight with them in the field, but without exception, they were all wiped out.

So they swaggered and retreated, as if they were saying to the Ming army in the fortress to chase them out, come, be happy. ……

Being so despised by the Tartars, Tong Ziji couldn't help but turn pale, and the joy of defending the victory was gone. Because he really didn't dare to chase him out, and the border army under his command went out to deliver food.

Qi Jiguang patted him on the shoulder, comforted Tong Ziji, who was gritting his teeth, and said, "You have completed the task beautifully, and the rest depends on Lao Hu and Jimei." ”

"Yes." Tong Ziji nodded, and the grievances in his heart decreased slightly.

~~

Dong Fox saw that the Ming army really had no intention of pursuing, so he was relieved to lead his troops to retreat more than ten miles north.

At noon, the party arrived at the valley of the Changhe River, where he prepared to join up with the troops who had feinted to attack Xifengkou, Dongjiakou, and Qingshankou, and retreat along the Changhe to Kuancheng. There was an abandoned guard of the Ming army, which was converted into a warehouse city after his occupation, ready to temporarily store the grain and supplies plundered from the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, you can grab a few more trips, saving yourself from being like a blind bear breaking buds, and you can't bring back many things after a busy meal.

Therefore, he left a few subordinates and materials in Kuancheng, and the robbery could not be achieved this time, so he could go and rest and recuperate before making other plans.

'Alas, a thoughtful leader like me, there are too few on the grassland...... "Dong Fox first praised himself, and then secretly complained about God's injustice. Why do you want to leave a good place like Hetao to me for the second goods?

While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from afar.

"Report Taiji, it's not good!" A scout who was exploring the way in front of his head reported on his horse with a worried face: "Our way has been blocked by the Ming army!" ”

"What?" Dong Fox was taken aback first: "What did they do?" ”

Then he asked, "How many?" Where to stop it? ”

"Right at the mouth of the valley, the whole world is full of people, afraid that there are tens of thousands of people......" the scout's voice trembled.

P.S. You have to wake up early tomorrow morning, and I'll be here tonight. I'll write it tomorrow......
