After slashing down an enemy with a knife again, there was a brief silence around him, Jiang Yu held the handle of the knife with his hand, and looked around, there was no enemy figure anymore, only seven or eight figures were also breathing in silence for a short time.

Of course, this did not mean that they had successfully held the defensive line, the watchtower had been partially destroyed, and Jiang Yugang retreated to the forest path with his sword soldiers, intercepting the Luchuan army many times at the pass at the intersection of various mountain roads, and at the same time paying almost half of the soldiers' sacrifices.

As for how effective the interception is, Jiang Yugang really doesn't have the energy to pay attention. He was sure that the Luchuan army had broken through their block, but it was unknown how many there were.

At this moment, it was as if he had stepped out of a sea of blood, blood and rain flowing on his already torn cloth armor. He only felt that his body had a special feeling of warmth, and it was also quite strange that there was no pain, and he didn't know whether he was not injured, or if he was numb and had no pain.

"Jiang Xiaoqi, what should we do?" One of them relieved himself at this time and took the lead in asking, "With you, there are only eight brothers left who can continue to fight." ”

Remove. This was the first answer that Jiang Yugang thought of, he didn't know how many Luchuan soldiers were besieging the camp now. He seriously underestimated the difference in numbers between the two sides, although the military quality of the Ming army on the expedition to Luchuan was much higher than that of the enemy, but it was still completely unable to organize an effective battle under the siege, and could only run while fighting, which can be said to be a one-touch collapse.

So this is my level of combat command? Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and at the same time had a deep sense of powerlessness. He couldn't help but think of the timeline that he hadn't crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, and what kind of mood the Luchuan soldiers who didn't have his own command and dispatch should have fought outside Mengyang City?

Jiang Yuyan didn't know how effective his arrangement would be, but he believed that if the firecrackers continued to hold the line under such heavy rain, they would only usher in a complete rout.

And his command, at least, retains a glimmer of hope. But now he hesitated, he didn't know whether to witness the results of his command, or give up hope and retreat first. By retreating here, he could keep eight elite warriors, and if he went to the camp to join up with the firecrackers, he might be wiped out.

"We have to go back, Xiaoqi, the rest of the brothers are still in the camp." A soldier saw Jiang Yu's hesitation and reminded anxiously.

"To go to the camp now is to send them to death, don't you see how many enemies have passed?"

"You have to go yourself, Xiaoqi, we should go to the commander now and tell him about the current situation in Manggu Mountain."

"I think you're trying to run."

"Bah, don't just charge your grandfather."

Just as he hesitated, several soldiers had already begun to quarrel. Jiang Yu's heart tightened, this was a precursor to the collapse of the organization, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Manggu Mountain is the only line of defense in the southwest of Mengyang City, the Luchuan army broke through Manggu Mountain, Mengyang can't hold it, we can't give up the camp no matter what! ”

He finally decided to take people back to the camp, if he retreated like this, once the remaining few people encountered the enemy again, there was a high probability that they would collapse instantly, and then they would become a group of stragglers, and they really had to retreat, and they would retreat when they reached a real desperate situation. Instead of sending yourself directly into the final desperate situation.

"Let's go back to the camp!" Jiang Yu pulled the knife out of the mud.

"Wait!" A pale, thin soldier stopped Jiang Yuyan.

The situation that was already about to be controlled by Jiang Yuyan was in a commotion again in an instant, he resisted the urge to cut this person with a knife, and asked through gritted teeth: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Xiaoqi, back to the camp, there is a shortcut to bypass the front." Seeing Jiang Yu's face, he hurriedly said.

"There's a path?" Jiang Yu was overjoyed at first, but immediately calmed down again, if this person was bribed, or had other thoughts, a dead end was enough to kill everyone else.

"Come with me, Little Flag." Seeing Jiang Yu's hesitation, the soldier asked again.

"Okay." If there is a traitor, can he really fight so far in the chaotic rainy night? Jiang Yugang chose to believe in shortcuts, which was the only way.

It is an almost undetectable road, to be precise, it is not a road at all, but a crack in the mountain. The crevasse was narrow enough for a man to pass through, and if any of them were thicker, they would get stuck in the crevice, and the road remained that way, and nowhere was it any more wide.

Jiang Yuyan followed the thin soldier and the second one came out of the rock crevice, and looked around, this was the mountain behind the camp.

"How did you find out here?" Jiang Yuyan was quite curious.

"This is what my brother found, he got into a rock crevice to chase a hare, but he has already died in the previous sneak attack of the Luchuan army." The skinny soldier explained.

"Mourning, but there seems to be good news." Jiang Yuyan heard the voice of a firearm coming from the outskirts of the camp: "We seem to be guarding this place. ”

While hearing the sound of firecrackers, Jiang Yu remembered Lu Chong and Zhang Dake who were left behind. Don't die, Lu Chong. He prayed silently in his heart as he led the rest of the group towards his station.

The moment he walked into the courtyard, Zhang Dake looked panicked and aimed the fire at Jiang Yuyan, and then his face showed ecstasy: "Xiaoqi, you're back!" ”

"Not only did I come back, but I brought eight people back." Jiang Yuyan walked to Lu Chong, who was stepping on the padded debris and aimed at the enemy, and the offensive of the Luchuan army in the distance was once again blocked by the fire of the Ming army.

The effect of the first two sword soldiers' blocking battles was much better than Jiang Yugang imagined, and the Luchuan army that rushed to the camp not only no longer had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, but also had a much lower morale, every time someone was hit by the firecracker, the formation would be seriously dispersed, and in the process of dodging the firecracker's attack, their advance speed was seriously slowed down, and because of the slower and slower advance, the suppression effect of the firepower became more and more obvious.

"All the sword soldiers, go find the musketeers in the garrisons everywhere, and slow down the shooting," Jiang Yu made up his mind to completely deal with the last of these Luchuan troops: "Put all of them into the camp, and then all the people who can use good knives will be replaced with knives, and the white blade station will be eliminated by them." ”

"Is the Musket going to keep shooting?" One soldier asked, "Will it hit your own people?" ”

"Of course, we must continue, provided that we ensure that we do not hit our own people." Jiang Yugang introduced: "This method is called fire cover, and the fire gun hits the enemy and covers his own people at the same time. ”

"Everything is arranged by Jiang Xiaoqi." A soldier, also a small flag, nodded in response. Jiang Yugang, who stood up to reverse the situation on this dangerous and unusually rainy night, has now become their commander.

From the moment he saw that the defense line was about to collapse, one person entered the battle and stabilized the situation; to decisive command, let the firecrackers retreat to the camp to preserve their strength, and lead the sword-wielding soldiers to drag the enemy; In the end, the enemy was controlled on the periphery of the camp and prepared for a surprise attack by swordsmen, and in this bloody battle, Jiang Yugang gradually became the backbone of the garrisons in Manggu Mountain.

The Manggu Mountain defense line was originally garrisoned by more than 100 people under the command of a hundred households, but more than half of them were lost in the defense again and again, and all the senior officers were all killed, and the remaining few small banners and dozens of people had lost most of their will to fight.

But Jiang Yuyan, who crossed over, didn't know so many things, he had seen many dangers on the line of life and death before crossing, and after crossing, relying on the advantages of his body, armament and experience, he didn't feel much fear in this bloody battle.

After all, the weapons of this era are still too mild compared to hundreds of years later, and ordinary soldiers are thin and weak because of long-term malnutrition.

Therefore, Jiang Yuyan was quite surprised when he saw that the soldiers around him had become obsessed with carrying out his orders, and his eyes were full of trust in him. He was looking for an opportunity to become the leader of the Manggu Mountain garrison, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, there is one thing that Jiang Yugang can still clearly feel, and that is the desire of these soldiers for victory. With their constant casualties in the midst of the constant attacks, they desperately need a real victory.
