Chapter 76: Han Yinian Dies! )
On the battlefield, more and more Ming soldiers surrendered their weapons, more and more Ming soldiers who were caught up by the People's Army soldiers were cut (stabbed) to the ground, and the firearms company had ceased fire and rushed forward with the cold weapons troops.
Soon, Lai Fei's small group, which had arrived at the north of the battlefield (left front), made contact with the KPA soldiers.
"Quickly throw down your weapon and squat on the ground, and don't kill those who descend!" The People's Army soldiers shouted at dozens of people in Lai Fei's small group.
"My lord, we used to be in a group with them (the Ming army), but now we are in the opposite direction, we have just killed more than ten thousand guards, and we want to take refuge in you." Lai Fei said respectfully to the KPA soldiers in front of him.
"Take refuge in us, you put down your weapons first and wait here, and the people behind will make arrangements for you, rest assured, our People's Army will not face those who lay down their weapons." Cui Xuelin, the platoon commander of the first battalion, said to Lai Fei, after speaking, Cui Xuelin looked at Lai Fei and the others to see what they were going to do, the weapons in their hands were clenched, and they were most worried that the group in front of them was a fake surrender.
Lai Fei only hesitated for a few seconds, and was the first to throw down the weapon in his hand, and at the same time said to the people around him: "Everyone throw down the weapon, when you get here, there is nothing to hesitate." ”
Hearing Lai Fei's words, the rest of the small team threw down their weapons one after another, and even the few Ming soldiers who mistakenly followed the team also threw down their weapons.
Cui Xuelin left two people to watch Lai Fei and his group, and he continued to lead his men to pursue the fleeing Ming army.
The Ming army ran out and ran back, but when they ran out, there were nearly 1,000 people, and when they ran back, there were less than 100 people, hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield, hundreds of people surrendered, and dozens of people took the initiative to join the People's Army, and there were only more than 200 defenders left in the city of Haifeng Qianhu.
And the People's Army like Hu Zhuang has only killed and wounded more than 20 people so far, but there are still 1,000 soldiers in battle.
How could two hundred demoralized soldiers hold the city under the attack of a thousand enemies? What's more, the enemy also has very sharp firearms.
Han Yinian and other officers of Haifeng Qianhu who fled into the city, they did not stay in the city for long, and immediately returned to the mansion to pack up some gold and silver and bring their families, and took advantage of the fact that the People's Army had not surrounded the city, and quickly escaped, if the city was surrounded, then they would not be able to escape, and their lives would be left behind.
The Ming soldiers on the west city wall still wanted to defend the city under the leadership of the Qianhu Lord, but they did not expect that when the People's Army completed the semi-encirclement of the city, the Qianhu Lord had already left from the east gate with the people, and saw that the Qianhu adults had run away, and the Ming soldiers at the city gate on the east wall followed the abandoned city and fled.
However, Hu Zhuang would not let the enemy run away so easily, not long after Han Yinian's team left the city, Hu Zhuang came to the front of Han Yinian's team by the only cavalry unit in the People's Army.
The number of this cavalry unit is very small, only six people, more precisely, this cavalry unit is a firearms unit reconnaissance squad, in order to adapt to the horseback battle, the six cavalry not only can use tiger head guns, but also skilled in the use of bows and arrows, squad leader Fan Yong joined the People's Army before he was a hunter who was proficient in archery.
"Shoot!"
The number of people was too small to shout words of persuasion, Fan Yong gave an order, and six arrows were shot towards Han Yinian's team, and the five arrows accurately hit five enemies, four were seriously injured and one was lightly injured.
After shooting a wave of arrows, Fan Yong and the six immediately rode away, preparing for the next wave of attacks, and the task of Fan Yong and the six was to delay the enemy's escape and wait for the follow-up People's Army to catch up with the enemy.
Seeing that five people in the team were shot by the enemy's arrows, especially one of them who was not far from him, Han Yinian, who was at the front of the team, was shocked.
"How can there be thieves like this, go and kill the thieves, whoever can kill one person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing Han Yinian's words, several people in the team had ideas about rewarding silver, but in the end they didn't choose to stand up.
There are a lot of archery in Han Yinian's team, but there are very few people who can ride and shoot, and even fewer people who are proficient in horse archery, Fan Yong's six people are equivalent to six archers with very good archery skills, in the case of archers attacking the team, the best way to eliminate the archers is only this team to also send archers, with archers against archers.
The second is to gather a large number of archers, and when the archers attack, the archers release arrows together.
Han Yinian's team couldn't find more than one person who was good at salvo shooting to kill Fan Yong and the six.
"My lord, why don't we disperse and retreat." An officer offered advice to Han Yinian.
"No, we can't disperse and retreat, it's easy to be broken by the enemy individually." Han Yinian immediately objected.
It is indeed easy for some people to escape when the team is dispersed, but Han Yinian himself is too conspicuous, the team is scattered, and it is very likely that the six cavalry will follow Han Yinian, which makes it better for Han Yinian to escape than the team to act together.
Han Yinian thought for a while and then gave an order: "Keep going, the archers are ready, and the thieves will come and release the arrows together." ”
Hearing Senho-sama's words, the others could only do so, and the team continued to move forward, but the entire team was cautious to guard against enemy cavalry that might rush at any moment.
The team marched for only ten seconds, Fan Yongliu rode again, the team immediately stopped, the archer quickly pulled the bow and prepared to shoot arrows, but he didn't expect Fan Yongliu to ride out of the range of the bow and arrows to make a false shot, and then rode away, not entering the range of the bow and arrows at all.
Two archers in Han Yinian's team couldn't help but shoot arrows, and the arrows flew in the air for a while, and they fell to the ground when they were more than ten meters away from the last horse.
"Damn, go quickly, the thieves will catch up behind." Han Yinian roared angrily.
However, the team marched for more than ten seconds, Fan Yong's six horsemen came again, the team stopped and prepared to shoot arrows, Fan Yong's six horsemen shook another shot, and left without firing an arrow.
When the procession marched again, the KPA soldiers were already in the view of those at the back of the line.
"Run, run, the thieves are catching up." The people at the back of the team were unwilling to continue to follow the team, so they immediately left and tried to escape in other directions.
Seeing the changes in the back of the team, soon, Han Yinian made up his mind in his heart, and glanced at the carriage of his wife and children with some reluctance, Han Yinian shouted to the "cavalry" in the team: "Ride with me!" ”
The family was caught and ran away by themselves, among the two choices, the vast majority of horseback riders chose the latter, it is a shame to abandon his wife and children, but why should the eldest husband have no wife!
"Drive!"
Han Yinian rushed towards the northeast with eight horsemen, and there were originally more than a dozen people riding horses, but they were shot by several of Fan Yong's six horsemen, even if the injuries were not serious, there was no chance to escape.
Seeing the thousand households fleeing, the team quickly became chaotic, and everyone scattered and fled.
Han Yinian's nine horsemen were so conspicuous, and Fan Yong's six horsemen quickly chased after him, and the distance between the two sides was slowly approaching.
Looking at the most conspicuous person in the enemy horse, on horseback, Fan Yong took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bow, the bowstring was quickly pulled apart, aimed, and let go.
Sou!
Han Yinian, who was galloping on his horse in front, was hit in the back by an arrow, and after only a few seconds, his entire body fell from the horse's back.
