Chapter 372: This Is Hell (4)
With the development of the war, the first continuous mobilization of reinforcements and horses, the Yanghepo defense line to carry out a fierce attack, these Wara soldiers continued to attack, although the Ming soldiers stationed behind the defense line suffered a lot of casualties, but also let the corpses of each passage be stacked higher, of course, these corpses are basically Wara soldiers.
Moreover, sometimes when there are too many Warat soldiers, the staff general Zhang Xiaojun, the staff general Gao Ran and others will command the bird guns to bombard them in a concentrated manner.
Or some of the Tartars were more brave and rushed to the line at the risk of casualties, and in addition to the birdmen on the low walls on both flanks bombarding them, there were also some long swordsmen protecting the line and launching intermittent counterattacks against the Varat army.
At this time, tens of thousands of people have been put into the battle, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments have suffered huge casualties, but also killed, after a stalemate with the Ming army for a while, a part of the Warat heavy armor actually rushed into the first low wall from some passages, and the vanguard battalion soldiers started a melee, and the rest of the Warat soldiers and horses were shocked when they saw this, and they rushed in desperately.
Seeing this, the general Zhang Xiaojun immediately ordered the bird gunners on both wings to support the middle and bombard desperately from the side from the depression, and the thunder throwers and bird gunners behind the second and third low walls were also shooting desperately, and the pioneer battalion commander and knife hand stationed on the first low wall all roared angrily and launched a charge, fighting to the death with the Wara soldiers who came up.
At the foot of the mountain, the Great Khan of Warat also learned that the soldiers and horses had temporarily attacked the passage, and he was immediately very excited, and immediately mobilized soldiers and horses to reinforce them.
At the same time, the Warat soldiers who attacked the passage continued to advance, and after paying huge casualties, the Tartars' eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a wide field in front of them, with a distance of dozens of steps between the front and back, and then extended long to both sides, but then the Tartars were cold again, and there was still a low slope wall in front of them, and in front of the low wall, in addition to the passage, there was also a deep trench.
Looking at the past, the Ming army behind the low wall had more birds, because they converged the first wave of birds behind the wall, and the vanguard battalion and the soldiers behind them gathered together again and had stronger firepower.
Then there were a large number of artillery guns facing them in the passages at the low wall, all of which were fully loaded with shotguns and ready to open fire.
At this moment, many Tartar soldiers shouted with no one in front of them: "Retreat, retreat......"
However, the people behind the many Warat soldiers still squeezed desperately, huddled together in place for a while, and no one could move.
At this moment, a cold and merciless voice sounded, and again the loud sound of artillery.
Blood fell and floated like rain and mist, because the slope was gentle, there were quite a lot of Warat soldiers who rushed in, and the distance between the two low walls was only a few dozen steps, almost all the artillery shotguns pierced their crowd in front and back, and many shotguns bombarded the low wall behind, stirring up a large area of smoke and dust.
With the sound of artillery, the dense sound of birds like popping beans sounded, and the upper and lower rows of guns and the earth-shattering thunder and stones were thrown like raindrops.
Many of these Warat soldiers who rushed in couldn't help howling and fled, and at this time, the fierce war drums of the Ming army sounded, and a large number of fierce long knife soldiers rushed out of the passages with bright long knives.
These five big and three thick muscular men roared and charged, and they engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars, leaving each other's corpses or wounded, their hot blood steaming in the gale.
Perhaps some of the Tartars could endure the guns and artillery of the Ming army, but in the face of these long-sword-hand warriors, they fled in fear, and then the Tartars attacking the mountain were routed.
At this time, the staff general Zhang Xiaojun, the staff general Gao Ran, and the staff general Sun Xu ordered the pursuit one after another, and the soldiers of the three battalions screamed wildly and held up the birds, brandished long knives, and even chased the defeated soldiers of Wara to the bottom of the mountain......
Seeing this, they immediately mobilized five thousand elite heavy armor directly under their own command, and they had to dispatch to attack this part of the battle.
The generals Tuharai, Balashan, and Tubai also led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack together, and it seemed that they were ready to make a last stand!
The tenacity of a small mountain range was beyond the expectations of these Tartars, and how many men and horses had been lost on this mountain by the more than 200,000 troops since the southward march? If you give up at this time, it will really be a waste of all your previous efforts, and if this nail is not pulled out, Warat will never recover!
At this time, the sound of people on the sun and slope was boiling, the war was raging, the roar of birds and artillery, and the tearing sound of arrow rain cutting through the sky, intertwined with each other, almost shaking the whole world into restlessness!
The end of the day......
The general Tuharai was dead, and tens of thousands of Warat troops launched attacks again and again on the Ming army's Yanghepo defense line, but they retreated again and again, and even the generals Balashan and Tubai were killed in the fierce attack.
The number of casualties of the army is not even imagined by Tuharai.
At the foot of the mountain, the general Arazhiyuan looked at the tragic battle on the mountain, and couldn't help muttering: "Perhaps, I am wrong, I shouldn't attack any Yang and Slope ...... at all."
The Great Khan next to him also glared at him when he heard this, and he wanted to beat Ah Ra Zhiyuan violently.
"Kill the Tartars!"
The earth-shattering shouts sounded again, and another wave of Ming soldiers rushed out from the Chinese army on the top of the mountain, rushed down the mountain, and killed the defeated Warat soldiers and horses, stabbing each other's long knives and bayonets and the spears of the Tartars, and one person fell, and the corpses seemed to be stacked outside the stone wall.
"Kill the Tartar!"
At this time, General Zhang Xiaojun was very sad, because his troops were at the forefront, so the casualties of his subordinates were very great, and the long knife hand in the special battalion was even more seriously damaged.
And the guerrilla general Liu Youfu even drew his sword in his hand and roared: "I am invincible, all counterattack, hand-to-hand combat and kill slaves!" ”
"I'm invincible, kill slaves!"
Even all the bird-swordsmen also put on their bayonets and rushed into the battle to kill all sides.
At this time, the Warat army attacking the mountain was finally routed on all fronts, and they could no longer stop the onslaught of the Ming army.
This small mountain range called Yanghepo took too many Warat warriors, and most of them were chilled by the Ming soldiers, and at this time these Warat bandits admitted that they were scared and they were going to flee for their lives.
Finally over, Liu Juntao stood on the fire pier on the top of the mountain, looking at the screaming and fleeing Tartar soldiers, as well as the corpses and blood all over the mountain, layer upon layer, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid this battle is going to end!"
Different from Liu Juntao's cheerfulness, at this time, the Great Khan of Warat under the mountain also first and the general Alazhiyuan were bloodless, and the two of them looked at the defeated soldiers fleeing from the mountains and fields in a daze, and they couldn't believe that this was true.
In just a few days, the army of more than 100,000 Warat was defeated by Yang and Po, not only losing at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also being completely defeated by the Ming army, which was far less than its own troops.
At this time, he was very worried in his heart, after this defeat, it seemed that it had become a little impossible to attack Datong Town.
Moreover, when the news of this defeat spreads, those nobles and remnants of the Varat who are free from spending will definitely come out one after another, and the situation of Yexian will be extremely difficult at that time!
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Xian's face became a little ugly, and he was even a little blue.
The Arazhiyuan on the side said softly: "Great Khan, retreat!" ”
also looked at the scene in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Order!" The Chinese army formed a formation to prepare for battle, let the rest of the troops slowly retreat, and return to the camp first! ”
"Order!"
Arazhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rushed to give orders and transfer troops.
It didn't take long for the defeated troops of Warat who had fled back to retreat and began to regroup, and the staff general Zhang Xiaojun, the staff general Gao Ran, and the staff general Sun Xu also led the army to confront them at the foot of Yanghe Po Mountain.
It didn't take long for the Warat army to retreat without a fight, apparently no longer in the mood to fight again.
Subsequently, the general Zhou Zongsheng led the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army to attack, preparing to pursue the Warat army, but was intercepted by tens of thousands of troops led by the king of Saikan, and had no choice but to temporarily retreat.
Yan Hu, the general of the rear battalion of Yanzhou Town, learned that the Wara army did not flee, but returned to the camp in formation, so he did not move and did not attack.
At this point, the battle between Yang and Poe ended.
In this battle, the Warat army invested 150,000 horses, lost 40,000, and several generals were killed.
More than 4,000 soldiers of the battalions in Yanzhou Town were lost.
On the same day, Liu Juntao sent a fast horse to send the victory back to Datong Town, and there was a thunderous roar of joy, and even the acting king was in tears, and paid tens of thousands of taels of silver to reward the soldiers of Yanzhou Town.
