Chapter 37: The Hedgehog Formation

Amin personally led 8,000 Tartar soldiers to rush to the vicinity of Lin Yi's camp around the third watch.

Discovered by the soldiers on the night patrol of the Ming army, they immediately raised the alarm and deployed their police weapons, and hundreds of Ming soldiers woke up from their sleep and entered the battle as fast as possible.

"Rush!"

The Tartar soldiers were like wolves and tigers, surging like raging waves, and the Ming army began to release arrows, but the Ming army was only a battalion of four or five hundred people, and this limited fortification could not stop the Tartars' thousands of horses and thousands of troops at all.

With a single charge, the iron cavalry of the Tartars broke through the defense line of the Ming army and poured into the camp as vigorously as opening a floodgate. These ferocious tartars kill people when they see them, and their arrows are like rain.

The Ming army was a little caught off guard, and more were outnumbered, and they were killed and scattered in all directions, with dead and wounded everywhere, shouts of killing shook the sky, and there were fires everywhere, tearing the silence of the night.

Lin Yi and Xiao Ying woke up from their dreams, Lin Yi quickly put on the armor given to him by the guerrilla commander, Xiao Ying was also dressed neatly, and the two of them rushed out with knives.

Outside, the flames were raging, and it was already in chaos. Although Lin Yi acted in a hurry, he was not flustered at all.

Nearly 100 guards have been assembled, Zhang Hua, Dongsheng, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dazhu, Erhu and others are fully armed and have been waiting in front of the team.

Although the outside has already killed the sky, it is not the first time that these people have participated in the war with Lin Yi, the six of them have actually become Lin Yi's personal guards, they are now worshipping Lin Yi, and they can definitely be called confidants and generals, including Zhang Hua, who has a bad record, and now they are absolutely loyal to Lin Yi.

They also learned from Lin Yi not to be chaotic in the face of danger and not to be alarmed.

"Adult......" Seeing Lin Yi and Xiaoying coming out of the tent, several of them hurriedly came over to give a salute, Zu Keyong's personal guard camp now has less than a hundred people left, and Lin Yi is still the captain of the guard.

"How many Tartars came?"

"The specifics are not clear, it is overwhelming, and it looks like it is about 10,000."

"Damn, so much?" Lin Yi frowned, "Quickly protect the adults and retreat." ”

Someone brought Lin Yi's war horse over, Lin Yi flew on the horse, and said to Xiao Ying behind him: "There are many Tartars, there will inevitably be a bloody battle tonight, you must be more careful later."

Xiao Ying nodded, with an expression of seeing death as if she were at home and living and dying with Lin Yi, "Brother Lin, don't worry, Xiao Ying, your guards, will never leave your side." ”

Lin Yi turned to the brothers and said, "You guys must protect Xiaoying for me."

"Yes. Don't worry, adults, I am waiting, and Miss Xiaoying is here. Zhang Hua, Dongsheng, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dazhu, and Erhu bowed down and bowed, and promised in unison.

The soldiers of the guard battalion had already protected Zu Keyong's sleeping tent.

At this moment Zu Keyong, who was wearing armor, came out of his tent, picked up a big axe, and flew on his horse to fight the Tartar.

Lin Yi said: "There are too many adults and Tartars, and there is a huge disparity in numbers, so hurry up and retreat to the top, and the subordinates will be cut off."

Zu Keyong saw that his company camp had turned into a sea of fire, in the firelight, swords and swords, blood flowed like a river, and the overwhelming Tartars were surging, there were still hundreds of men and horses, but the command was already ineffective, and now there were less than 100 of his guards left in front of him, so he quickly adopted Lin Yi's suggestion, let Lin Yi break in the back, and he led the people to retreat to the rear camp.

But before the dozens of them retreated a few steps, Wang Jian, who was covered in blood, ran over with more than two dozen people, "My lord, we are already surrounded by Tartars!" ”

"Kill it!"

Zu Keyong went out and joined Wang Jianbing, at this time, counting Lin Yi's guard battalion, he was the guerrilla commander with only about a hundred people left, and there were thousands of Tartars who attacked at night, so he had to fight.

"The Great Commander, you can't blindly break through ......"

Lin Yi looked at the more than 100 people and suggested to Zu Keyong.

These more than 100 people are the elite of Ning Yuanjun, and most of them are Zu Keyong's guards.

But if they rush out in such a swarm, it is called fighting on their own, and their more than 100 people will soon be wiped out. In the end, a few special strong men may get away with breaking out of the Tartars' encirclement, and the rest will die.

If you take a different approach, the results may be different.

Lin Yi has experienced big battles and small battles, and now he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, coupled with the combat experience of special fighters in later generations, he naturally has a unique vision.

As a general with troops, you can't act recklessly, let alone only care about yourself, you must save this team as much as possible, even if the whole army is wiped out, you must kill as many Tartars as possible, to achieve such a goal, in such a critical situation, is to deal with them as much as possible, delay time, and wait for the opportunity.

Therefore, at Lin Yi's suggestion, more than 100 people simply lined up.

Wang Jian led more than 20 people to open the road in front, the main general Zu Keyong followed, Zhang Hua, Dongsheng, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dazhu, Erhu, protecting Xiaoying in the middle, Lin Yi took more than 20 people to be responsible for the break, and more than 100 people rushed out together.

Lin Yi put the more than 100 people in a hedgehog formation, with the strong ones at the two ends or on the sides, and the relatively weak ones such as Xiaoying and others in the middle or inside.

In this way, more than 100 people will no longer fight on their own, but will be able to leverage each other, like a hedgehog covered with thorns, so that the enemy has no way to start.

As soon as they formed their formation, the Tartars rushed up.

Lin Yi and more than 100 of them, maintaining a hedgehog formation, hugging a group to kill, this time it really worked.

Although there were many Tartars, they couldn't stop it, rushing up one and dying one, rushing up two dead and one pair. Of course, this big hedgehog is not motionless, but fast-moving.

Over time, Tartar casualties began to increase at an accelerated rate......

Amin sat on a big white horse, carrying an ice nail mace, and now his rod was full of blood, and the soldiers of the Ming army who died under his stick, I don't know how many, he felt a little tired, and he was also enjoyable.

He immediately paused to rest.

This battle was almost a one-sided battle, and there was no need for him, the main general, to personally kill the enemy and charge into battle.

Rushing to the vicinity of this small camp, Amin, who has experienced a hundred battles, can see at a glance that the Ming army does not have many troops, and his 8,000 tiger and wolf division eats this little Ming army, which is simply effortless, not to mention the sneak attack of the third watch in the middle of the night?

But he was overly energetic, and today he was holding back the fire in his belly, Yue Tuo was defeated, and the wounded soldiers were lost, and he could only vent his anger by killing these Ming troops with his own hands.

Therefore, at the beginning, he ordered people to surround this camp, and then personally danced the mace, urged the big white horse, and first boarded the battle, and rampaged in the Ming camp.

Amin is really fierce enough, the person who was born is tall and big, five big and three thick, plus a suit of armor, his majesty is no less than that of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Wherever his horses went, there was no one to join them.

When a Hancheng person goes down, the other party either grabs the knife and flies indiscriminately, or shatters the bones.

It wasn't until he was sweating that he stopped.

Seeing the countless Tartars surrounding and annihilating the Ming army in the firelight, the soldiers of the Ming army had no power to fight back at all, and the killed scattered and fled, the dead and wounded, Amin pouted, it was a pleasure.

If this continues, it will not take half an hour for the battalion of the guerrilla commander to be wiped out, and Lin Yi, the captain of the guard of the guerrilla commander, will also die in the chaos with his guerrilla commander, or be captured alive and taken to his horse.

If it's the former, it's cheaper for this little Nanban. If it's the latter, hum, in the firelight, his fat face showed a cruel smile, and Lao Tzu wanted to cramp and peel his eyes, chop off his feet, and light the sky lantern......

Amin sat on his horse, his blood-dripping mace, panting and thinking that in the firelight, his face looked like an upside-down jar.

But as time passed, the last scene of his chatter never appeared, and the night wind had dried the sweat from his face.

After another while, the shouts of killing in the camp continued unabated, indicating that the battle was not over.

Amin frowned and asked his subordinates, "How is the battle ahead?"

"Back to Lord Belle, there is still a handful of Ming troops left to resist stubbornly, and they will soon be able to wipe them out."

……

Amin was patient, waited for a while, and the shouting and killing gradually faded away, and he couldn't help but say again: "How is the battle situation ahead?"

"Back to Lord Belle, these guys are fierce, they are trying to escape, and their subordinates are mobilizing heavy troops to surround and annihilate them, please be patient with Lord Belle."

"Useless stuff!" Amin scolded, and the green tendons on his head jumped high, "Come on, follow Ben Belle and don't let one go!" ”

Amin is rude by nature and has a big temper. When he heard that the battle had not ended for such a long time, he couldn't help but be angry and personally rushed down with his men and horses.

Amin rushed out of the Ming camp with his men and horses, and ran out of more than ten miles in one breath before intercepting this handful of Ming troops.

By this time the sky was already gray. Amin could see not far ahead, countless Tartars were besieging a group of Ming soldiers, the two sides were still inseparable, the Ming army was killing and running, the Tartars were killing and chasing, and the Tartars were killed and chased everywhere.

"Damn, these Nanban can't be beaten with iron?" Amin couldn't help but scold, a camp the size of the Ming army's palm, his 8,000 elite soldiers, they had to be flattened as soon as they walked, but they tossed for so long a day, and let them run out so far?

Amin felt a little ashamed, danced his mace and shouted, and personally led the men and horses to kill.

I met Wang Jian head-on. Wang Jian was originally the chief flag commander of the border soldiers, he was originally a subordinate of Cao Wenzhao, the commander of Cao Wenzhao, after Cao Wenzhao's army was defeated and died, they threw themselves under the command of Xiao Cao's commander Jiaojiao, and after encountering the Tartars, there was a scuffle, and there were only 18 people left on their horse, including Lin Yi.

Wang Jian is loyal, but his martial arts are outstanding, and the chief flag officer has a small position, but in the late Ming Dynasty, in this era of heavy literature and light martial arts, it is difficult for some to become a general flag in his life. Wang Jian, the general banner, is now one of the 100 households in the army, and he is an official who has no moisture, and he completely relies on his own real skills to work hard.

Now Wang Jian killed half a night, covered in blood, I don't know if he was injured, or if he killed too many people and splashed on himself, but he still didn't get out of the encirclement, Wang Jian also had the determination to die.

There was another share in front of him, and Wang Jian waved his knife to meet it.

Amin smashed down with a mace, Wang Jian parried with a horizontal knife, and flew away with a big knife. was so frightened that Wang Jian wiped his head and ran.

Amin drew his bow and arrows, and with a whoosh, an arrow was shot, and Wang Jian fell off his horse......
