1525 Between advance and retreat
Before Yalu Buhua gave the order to retreat, Alibai had already given the order to retreat. He is also a person who has experienced the baptism of baptism of baptism of swarms of bazookas in the ten-mile long hill, and of course understands how unwise it is to attack the mountain under the blow of this firearm. Therefore, he decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops. The soldiers and horses attacking the hillside fled down the hillside one after another, out of the range of the rockets. Even if they ran in time, they did not cause too many casualties, only about 2,000 soldiers were shrouded in smoke and flames, and were killed by the bows and arrows from above.
Once the soldiers and horses on the slopes on both sides retreated, the cavalry on the slope below the pass had no shelter. The archers of the Luoyan Army on both sides of the pass freed their hands and struck mercilessly at the Jurchen cavalry on the ramp. In this case, the Jurchen cavalry on the ramp had only one way to retreat. Battle led his men and horses down the ramp and retreated without looking back, leaving only the corpses of men and horses all over the ground.
The attack ended in failure again, and although Yalu Buhua was furious, he also had to admit the fact of the defeat in front of him. When the Jurchen soldiers and horses retreated to the bottom of the slope in shock, the soldiers and horses of the fallen geese on the hillside began to raise their arms and cheer, laughing and jumping above, and there seemed to be the sound of singing.
"What are these dogs messing about?" Yalu Buhua glared at the celebratory enemy on the top of the mountain and gritted his teeth.
"They...... Seems to be singing. The people next to him smacked their lips.
"Singing?" Yalu Buhua frowned and listened carefully, and sure enough, it was indeed the song of the enemy on the top of the mountain that drifted along the southeast wind.
“…… The waves of the Luoyan River are wide, and the wind blows the rice flowers to both banks, and my family lives on the shore, and I am used to hearing the trumpet of the captain and seeing the white sails on the river......"
They were indeed singing, and they were singing so proudly and loudly.
“…… When a friend comes, there is good wine, but if the jackal comes...... They were greeted by ...... Knives and guns ......"
The sound of the wind continued to send the song down the hillside, becoming clearer and louder. Yalu Buhua's face turned pale, and his lungs were about to burst. The other party is celebrating the victory, but it is also mocking in person.
"Damn it, and let you be proud, if I don't flatten your Funiu Mountain, I will not be a man." Yalu didn't scold angrily, and rode back to the camp with a blue face. The Jurchen army then sounded the horn to return to the camp, and all the soldiers and horses retreated to the camp in the col.
……
The sky is dark, and the wind of the spring night is no longer cold, although there is still coolness, but there is a unique warmth in this coolness. However, in this wilderness battlefield, the night wind is mixed with the smell of death. The smell of blood permeated the air, and the smell of fishy and burnt smell lingered in the air for a long time. The corpses of the dead men and horses lay strewn among the rocks of the hillside, grim and smelling of unbearable death. The night wind swept across the hillside, and the grass and trees whined, as if countless ghosts wandered among the mountains.
In the Jurchen camp, the soldiers were silently in a daze around the bonfire. Normally they laugh and drink around the campfire, but tonight they are surprisingly quiet. Because they all know that today's defeat made General Yalu Buhua furious, and after returning to the camp, he found a reason to kill more than a dozen low-level generals, saying that they were cowardly in battle, and should be dealt with by military law.
But everyone knows that it's just that Yalu doesn't spend his anger and has nowhere to vent, so he kills people to vent his anger. Today, I tossed all day, cutting down trees to build wooden rafts, loading mud bags to pave roads, and attacking mountains
It was uphill again, but he was bombarded down by a bazooka, how can the general get by on his face? Sitting on superior troops, they were blocked here for a whole day, killing and wounding four or five thousand brothers, and as a result, they didn't even touch a single hair, of course, they were angry. Therefore, everyone should be careful tonight and don't provoke General Mao again, otherwise they will become the target of the general's anger and lose his head inexplicably. As a result, the Jurchen soldiers showed rare quietness and discipline, and the whole camp was quiet.
It was not calm in the big tent of Yalu Buhua, and at this moment, in the big tent filled with smoke, the Jurchen generals were blushing and making loud noises. Today's defeat was not a small blow to them, and Yalu did not spend any time summoning them to discuss countermeasures, and before they could discuss a few words, they began to quarrel.
"Is this a fucking war? We shouldn't have come at all. This is completely the evil of Lin Jue's thief. Looking at the posture of the Luoyan Army, it is obvious that they are ready to face the battle, and they have been waiting for us here for a long time. Say what to sweep the Funiu Mountain and copy their old nest. In my opinion, we are sending it to the door to kill others. This battle is a wreck. ”
"Isn't it? We're cavalry. Our advantage is to charge and fight, not to attack any cottage. Although we have a lot of soldiers and horses, we are now blocked here. Others have the advantage of the terrain, and we attack like fools, and it is clear that we will suffer. This battle can't be fought. ”
"Phew, you mean the big chief's decision is wrong? Did the big leader fall for Lin Jue? If so, why didn't you bring it up in the first place? The big leader said that he was going to attack Funiu Mountain, and it was a few of you who shouted loudly, but now he said such things. It's really not a thing. ”
"Nonsense, of course we support the decision of the Great Chief, but who would have thought that the battle would be fought like this? Now in this situation, the other party used that powerful firearm to block the hillside pass, and you have all seen it, if you attack again, won't you send yourself to death? If it is on flat ground, we are not afraid, and it is to crush them in all directions. But now, how to attack? Those who know the times are junjie, and in my opinion, we should withdraw from here immediately and not entangle with them. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen in the end, and I won't even be able to leave. Now that there is a new emperor in the Great Zhou, if the state capitals in the south of them are loyal to their new emperor, can they not send troops to the north? If reinforcements arrive, we may not even have the advantage of troops, and we will all have to be surrounded by people in this ravine, believe it or not? ”
"Cut, pus-poop, pus-po, what are you doing with these words? You just say you're afraid of death. We have followed the big leader to fight in the south and north for so many years, which time did we run with our tails between our legs after suffering a loss? If we don't get back to the field, are we still Jurchens? If you're afraid, I'm not afraid. I can't swallow this breath. ”
"At first glance, you are brainless, I don't bother to explain to you, you are a stone mill, and you can't open your mind at all."
“……”
“……”
The Jurchen generals were divided into two factions, one faction felt that there was no need to fight this battle, because it was obvious that they had fallen into the trap of the enemy and were blocked here, and they had to evacuate here immediately and change their attack plan. The other faction believes that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but they have lost four or five thousand men, and they must find a way back and destroy their opponents, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in their hearts. The two factions argued and quarreled with each other, and even pointed their noses and scolded each other, and their emotions were extremely hot.
Yalu Buhua sat on the chair at the top, holding the liquor skin in his hand and sipping the wine
, his face was gloomy, the bun on his head was scattered on his forehead, and the whole person looked tired and gloomy. He didn't seem to listen to the noise of his subordinates, but he seemed to be listening carefully to every word, because the noise became more and more intense, and the tighter Yalu Buhua's brow wrinkled, the more gloomy his expression became.
Finally, Yalu Buhua suddenly got up and kicked a small table in front of him into the air. Xiao Mu Ji wiped the ears of the first two generals and flew out, crashed into the tent and fell down with a clatter, and the ground was suddenly in a mess.
"Shut up to Lao Tzu! Leave some strength to kill the enemy, and play with your own people one by one, what kind of hero is that? Yaru shouted without a sharp voice.
Everyone was startled, and the few people who were arguing with themselves hurriedly closed their mouths, not daring to say another word.
"You all put your ears up for me and give me a good ear. We are here to set foot on Funiu Mountain, Lao Tzu has made a military order in front of the big leader, and if any of you want to withdraw the troops now, don't you want me to die? Whoever wants me to die, I will let him die before me. Yalu shouted without a smile.
Several generals who advocated the withdrawal of troops were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "The general is angry, I didn't mean that, I felt that we had fallen into a trap." The opponent is obviously prepared, and it will be difficult for us to attack. ”
Yalu Buhua said coldly: "You are only a catty, Daji no, you have listened to me, if you hadn't followed me for many years, I would have slaughtered a few of your dogs today." Snare? What trap? Don't scare yourself, they just found out about us in advance, so they did something to deal with it. I also figured out that the reason why they were ambushing here was because they were afraid that they would not be able to resist once we entered the Funiu Mountain. Funiu Mountain is too big, and they have too few people to defend everything, so they give us an opportunity to take advantage of it. And the terrain here is convenient for their small number of soldiers and horses to defend and block. Moreover, people like you can be tricked into believing that they are prepared. If we do retreat, then we will play into their hands. Can you use your pig brains? ”
The generals pondered silently, the general's words were a bit far-fetched, but they were not unreasonable. Perhaps the other party is trying to create the illusion that they are fully prepared, and it is not known to scare people.
"Brother Yalu, then you can tell me how to break through their defenses? Their firearms are on the hillside, and this is a fact that we have seen with our own eyes. If you don't like to hear it, their explosive firearms haven't been unveiled yet. In addition to the rocket, there is this thing waiting for us. How do you say to hack? Ali Bai rolled his eyes and said.
Yalu Buhua said coldly: "Brother Alibai, I know that you are eager to withdraw your troops, but you must not forget that you have also set up a military order. Let's withdraw our troops and go back, the big leader will not only punish me, but you will not be able to escape. ”
Ali Bai said angrily: "When did I say that I was going to withdraw my troops? But the firearm is there, and it has to be solved. Otherwise, how can we defeat them? ”
Yalu Buhua said coldly: "I don't need you to remind me, I've already thought it through." I thought about it when their rockets were fired today, we really can't deal with that kind of firearm, and the only way we can use it is one way. ”
"What's the solution?" Everyone craned their necks to look at Yalu Buhua and asked.
"Rush up. Come hard. Yaru smacked his lips.
