Chapter 60: A Fierce Battle
After Luo Cheng stared at the enemy in front of him, he sighed: "Now that the enemy is too close, it is difficult for the crossbow arrows to work!" Now either retreat to the second line of defense, or lead the army to kill! Now that the enemy has dismounted, we will be able to catch them off guard with a cavalry charge! ”
"Good!" Yu Wenming immediately turned over his horse at this time, and then shouted to the Sui army: "Brothers, let these Koreans taste the power of our Great Sui Iron Cavalry." ”
With that, he swung his spear and jumped out of the stone wall, which was low inside and high outside, and went straight to kill the Koreans.
"Brother Yuwen, you're back! You're just on the battlefield for the first time, so stay in the valley and hold on! Seeing this, Luo Cheng couldn't help but be very anxious. Although Yu Wenming is only a small guy, he is the grandson of Yu Wenshu, the commander of his army, and if there is an accident while fighting with him, he will die without redemption.
However, between the words, Yu Wenming has already gone far.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and had to rush forward.
More than 500 cavalry of the Sui army also mounted their horses and rushed forward after him.
And the Goryeo soldiers, who were already about to climb the stone wall, were taken aback by the sudden killing of the Sui army. Many of them were still holding tree trunks and hitting the stone wall, who would have thought that the Sui army would dare to take the initiative to kill.
In a panic, they subconsciously threw down the tree trunk, then pulled out their waist knives and hurriedly met the battle.
However, with the big knives in their hands, how could they block the rush of the Sui army's iron cavalry and long-handled horse lance. As soon as the battle began, they were stabbed nearly 100 people in a row.
However, under the urging of Yuan Taiji, the Goryeo soldiers in the back swarmed like a tide and fought with the Sui army who killed the valley mouth.
At this time, Yu Wenming picked up and lowered the spear, opened the bow left and right, and stabbed the Goryeo soldiers who were close to him to death one by one.
He was already covered in blood, and the Sui soldiers around him were also constantly falling off their horses, and were killed by the relieved Goryeo.
In the face of the crazy siege of more than ten enemies, Yu Wenming was not afraid, slashing with knives at close range and picking with guns from afar.
However, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Luo Chengye leading the army to kill him, ready to meet him.
He couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "General Luo, why did you kill it?" Who will command the defense inside the stone walls? ”
When Luo Cheng heard this, his heart froze, but he immediately reacted, so he shouted loudly: "Brother Yuwen, go back and guard!" After all, I have more combat experience than you, so let me deal with these Korean thieves! ”
With that, he picked it up with his backhand, and the bright silver spear killed a Goryeo soldier who rushed over, and ran to Yu Wenming's side.
"General Luo, don't worry about me! I'll leave it to me! You are the commander of the whole army, and you can't get to such a dangerous situation! And I'm just a little guy, and I don't matter at all! Yu Wenming was unmoved, still moving forward bravely and continuing to kill the enemy.
Luo Cheng looked at Yu Wenming blankly, looking at his slightly childish but blood-soaked face, and his heart suddenly surged with pride.
At this moment, the stubbornness in his chest was stimulated. Yu Wenming, a child of the scholar clan who closes the Longmen valve, is not afraid of life and death, what is he afraid of as a child of the Hanmen Shu clan?
Luo Cheng then raised the bright silver spear in his hand and roared at the front: "Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the Great Sui. Kill! ”
He rushed forward, his spear stabbed out like lightning and thunder, and in one fell swoop he broke the neck of a Korean, and then with a backhand, he pierced the chest of another Goryeo soldier.
And the rest of the Sui army saw that the two main generals were rushing forward in the lead, and their morale was also greatly boosted, and they rushed forward with endless murderous aura.
Although there were only more than 500 of them, among the more than 2,000 enemy troops, they were on a rampage, killing wantonly, and everywhere they passed. No matter how Yuan Taiji supervised the battle in the rear. The Goryeo army could not stop the retreat.
Finally, when the sky was bright, Yuan Taiji had no choice but to withdraw his troops and withdraw to his original position in embarrassment. After a burst of cheers, the Sui army returned to the back of the stone wall.
The battlefield was temporarily calm, and both the enemy and us suffered heavy losses and had to rest for a while.
Yu Wenming was sitting next to a cart in the valley, Hong Xiu was bandaging his wounds with gauze, he had suffered a knife wound and an arrow wound, but neither of them hurt him. However, the knife wound on his back was more severe, and a deep cut was made, causing a lot of blood loss.
At this time, Luo Cheng walked over, and his head was also wrapped in gauze. Last night, he rushed out with Yu Wenming, and although he finally won, he also had a gunshot wound to the head, but fortunately it was only a skin wound and not serious.
"Brother Yuwen, although this time I temporarily repelled the enemy's attack. But our troops also suffered very heavy casualties. Together with our brothers who had died in battle, we lost a total of 357 casualties and 285 wounded. Luo Cheng sighed.
Yu Wenming's expression was also very heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "We have to write down their names, and if there are any relics, we will also collect them, and after this battle is over, we will send their ashes back to their hometown." ”
Luo Cheng nodded, and then said worriedly: "But it's not a way to hold on like this, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time." And when the day is completely dawn, it will be in favor of the outnumbered enemy, and if they launch another large-scale attack like this, we will lose Taniguchi and lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and we must find a way! ”
"Hmmm! I also feel that we can't fully count on reinforcements, and we have to plan otherwise! Yu Wenming's eyes were like a good look.
"Oh? Does Brother Yuwen have any good ideas? After Luo Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yu Wenming nodded slowly and said, "When I rushed out just now, I had already discovered the situation of the Goryeo Army. They're not as elite as we think. It seems to have been drawn from various units, and there are many differences in armor and weapons. Therefore, these Korean armies were somewhat deficient in their cooperation. If we can kill their commanders by surprise, they will be disheartened and leaderless because they come from different units, and in the absence of unified command, they will flee back to Liaodong. ”
Luo Cheng listened and bowed his head slightly. He naturally knew that soldiers like this, drawn from various troops, and an improvised patchwork army, could easily collapse when the wind was blowing, but if the situation was unfavorable and the main general was killed, it would easily fall apart.
"I saw their commander, about forty years old, wearing a red helmet on his head and a black cloak, who had been hiding behind and supervising the battle, and had never rushed up." Yu Wenming said lightly.
"That's right! That's the guy! If I'm not mistaken, it should be a high-ranking general in the Goryeo army. At this time, Luo Cheng picked up the five-hook god flying silver spear in his hand and said: "Brother Yuwen, you stay to recuperate first, and I will take a group of people to kill him!" ”
"Wait! General Luo, even if you want to go, you don't have to go now! Yu Wenming hurriedly stopped him and said: "I see that you are not lightly injured, rest for a while, eat something, and recuperate enough to talk about it later!" ”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment, and then nodded with a wry smile. He was indeed so tired that he didn't sleep all night.
"Alright! I'll go rest for two hours, and then we'll do it at noon! It should be time for the enemy to have lunch, and their defenses should be lax! Luo Cheng rubbed his eyes and said.
"Okay! I've taken a break too! Yu Wenming also stood up at this time, and then instructed Hong Xiu and Wei Chi Jingde on the side: "Hong Xiu, Jingde, you work hard, watch the point first, if the enemy has any movement, wake us up quickly!" ”
"No problem! Rest well! Guo Ziyi and Wei Chigong hurriedly responded in unison.
Yu Wenming walked to a big car in the valley, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate. He didn't dare lie down and fall asleep, because the enemy could attack at any moment.
He sat down, but saw Lin Zimo coming over with tears streaming down his face, and then stood beside him, sobbing: "I just learned that only me, you, Xiao Guo, Hong Xiu, and Wei Chi are still alive in our team!" ”
"What? Are they all dead? Yu Wenming suddenly got up in surprise and asked sharply.
He never thought that among the eight of them, three of them would die in a battle last night.
"After you rushed out, everyone rushed out! Not a single one retreated, and all the dead brothers were killed by stabs and arrows in the front! Lin Zimo wiped the tears from his cheeks. In the past few days, everyone has lived and died together, and a deep relationship has been established between each other.
"I will avenge them! I will definitely kill the commander of the Goryeo army and pay tribute to my brothers with his head! Yu Wenming clenched the handle of the knife and said in a categorical tone.
"Guy, you can sleep for a while! I see your wound gauze is still oozing blood! Hong Xiu said anxiously.
"It's okay! That's oozing before. It's out of stream now! Yu Wenming shook his head, and then said to him, "You can also take a rest!" There may be another fierce battle at noon! ”
After Hong Xiu heard this, he also nodded, sat down next to the other big car next to Yu Wenming, and then slowly closed his eyes......
Seeing that he was soon asleep, Yu Wenming covered him with the blanket on his body, and then grabbed his hand and prepared to put it under the blanket.
But at this time, he felt that Hong Xiu's hands were very delicate and silky, and his fingers were slender, not at all like a man's hand, he was slightly stunned, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but look down.
