Text Chapter 211 The Night of Murder in the Dark of the Moon
In the camp of Wan Jinhai in the north of the city, Yin Wanhu saw that the two armies were gradually forming a confrontation formation, especially the pikemen of the opponent had been constantly stabbing each other, and a large number of his own soldiers were stabbed to the ground. Anxious in his heart, he ordered the archers who had finally lined up to step forward. When the Yuan soldiers in the front line were once again defeated, he pointed his sword forward and said, "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Hundreds of arrows drew black shadows, flashing cold light and submerged into the opponent's pikemen formation, and some of the pawns who did not have time to retreat were also hit by the pond fish, and they were hit by arrows in the back, screaming and falling to the wet ground with the opponent who had just fought hard.
Another round of nearly a hundred arrows swept by, and after a miserable scream, dozens of soldiers on both sides fell again, and after several rounds of arrows were fired in a row, the pikemen of the Wanjin Sea Department lost less than half. The rest of his life couldn't help but stop the pace of the spurt, in front of the undisguised two armies, in the face of each other's bright arrows, these spear-armed soldiers began to become timid, pushing each other, retreating little by little, if it were not for the encouragement and maintenance of the officers in the middle, I was afraid that some people would have fled out of fear.
Subsequently, after most of the opposing Yuan army foot soldiers retreated to the archer column, they formed a team again, and the Yuan army archers began to continue to shoot unscrupulously.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A black-faced officer shouted loudly, and he finally rushed to the front of the confrontation between the two armies with a team of shield-wielding soldiers. Cover up the remnants of pikemen.
"General Wan has an order, Dong Baihu immediately attacked, Zhang Baihu cooperated, and the Tartars must be squeezed out of the camp!" A personal guard shouted orders from behind the battle. This is Wan Jinhai after seeing that the Yuan army sent archers, and hurriedly ordered a team of shieldmen behind him to come forward to cover the pikemen.
Dong Heizi, who was already sweating profusely, shouted: "Sons, kill the officers and soldiers with me!" ”
Before the words fell, he and the surrounding subordinates held wooden shields to cover their figures, and rushed forward quickly, after the Yuan soldiers shot two waves of arrows, seeing that the other party was approaching, the archers had to retreat to the back, leaving the Yuan army infantry with swords and spears in the back to meet them.
With the cover of the wooden shield, the number of casualties of the Shuntian soldiers this time was significantly smaller, and the two armies were once again caught in a fierce entanglement.
Wan Jinhai touched the cold sweat on his head, and saw that the crisis ahead had been basically alleviated, and his own troops in the battalion had fully reacted, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, they gradually assembled and pressed according to their own military orders, and the soldiers who had been scattered at the beginning were gradually retracted.
At this time, the daily drill had an effect, although the troops were still relatively flustered, but they did not completely disperse, and under the encouragement and reprimand of the junior officers, they gradually stabilized their minds, and the formation gradually became strict. The sudden night attack of the Yuan army gradually turned into a stalemate at this time.
"Grandma's, it's finally relieved! Tell the sons and daughters to work harder and drive these Han dogs out for me! Wan Jinhai finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to refresh. Dong Heizi and Zhang Squint played well, and they were rewarded after the war! ”
There was an improvement here, but there was a sudden earth-shattering sound from the Xiahou Department, which shook Wan Jinhai and almost trembled, Wan Jinhai thought it was an illusion, and soon found that the ground was shaking, which was a terrifying momentum caused by the galloping of countless war horses.
"Report, General, it was the Tartars who came out of General Qin's camp, and now the Tartars are charging into General Xiahou's camp!" One of his own soldiers rode from behind, and before the others arrived, he jumped off his horse and trotted in, panting and telling the enemy what was going on.
"How is Xiahou? Can it be resisted? Wan Jinhai asked urgently.
"No, no, no! The little one saw that the Tartars had already rushed into the camp, and the formation inside was already out of order. ”
"Go to the Jing'an Army camp for help, and ask them to come to help quickly!" If Xiahou is defeated, he will definitely be unable to support himself alone under the encirclement of the Yuan army, and Wan Jinhai has to put his hope on the Jing'an army at this time.
"Order, the rear team is closed, give me more swings around to resist the horse! More tripping! ”
The last time Wan Jinhai was beaten by Tang Wuwei, he refused horses in his camp, and there were a lot of wooden stakes, so he happened to use all of them at this time.
The Yuan cavalry had just ravaged Qin Zhanshan's camp, and under the command of Li Zhenxiong, they left the camp, gathered again, and turned to the Xiahou department.
Yin Wanhu's dilemma has already been reported to Li Zhenxiong by scouts, as a more experienced cavalry general, Li Zhenxiong knows that the fighter plane is fleeting in a blink of an eye, and the cavalry is the most important force in the early attack on the camp, and this is the time to continue to win!
Without thinking too much, Li Zhenxiong immediately ordered to gather his troops, no longer chasing and killing the scattered enemy soldiers, but quickly out of the camp and the whole team gathered, slightly around an arc, and turned to the side of Wan and Xiahou's camp.
"My lord, look, the Yuan army of the thief army is rushing over!" One of the guards shouted as he pointed to a fiery dragon in the west of the city. It is one of Ji Xiancheng's people. The fire dragons were very visible in the night.
"If they come, I'm afraid it will take a few sticks of incense!" A thousand households around him estimated the distance and said.
"Leave him alone, forward!" Li Zhenxiong waved his hand and led the Yuan cavalry to attack the Xiahou Department. Instead of rushing in through the main entrance, he chose a side door. After all, there was a large number of Yuan army foot soldiers pouring in at the main gate.
He won't do the lesson of failing to concentrate his men and horses last time and ultimately fail!
Although Xia Houen had been prepared, he didn't expect the Yuan army's offensive to be so fierce as a tide, a wave as high as a wave, and he did his best to only barely support, but the position was still not very stable, and he was forced to retreat step by step by the Yuan army, but in the middle Wan Jinhai also asked if he could give him support, so angry that he ordered the person who reported the news to turn around immediately, and asked him to inform Wan Jinhai, and asked if he could give himself support, and then asked for help from the Jing'an army camp, as for the city, it was still forgotten, and it was expected to report to the whistle, and found that a large number of Yuan troops roared into the city, Liu Zhengfeng doesn't know what is going on! Now that the city is in turmoil, let's ask for each other's blessings.
The battle in front gradually became exhausted, and Xia Houen was anxious, and constantly dispatched troops to replace the disabled troops. This side has not eased up, and suddenly heard the thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the side of the camp, Xia Houen secretly screamed that it was not good, just now in a hurry, he forgot that it was the Tartar cavalry that attacked Qin Zhanshan at night!
The Tartar cavalry will free up their hands so soon!
Tonight, the neighing of war horses and the sound of killing everywhere shook the sky, and it was destined to be a sleepless night.
In a military camp in the city, hundreds of Yuan troops are frantically besieging the Shuntian army inside, here are hundreds of Liu Zhengfeng's Chinese army sergeants, the Yuan army has entered the courtyard, and is surrounding these opponents who are still struggling to support in several circles. The swords and swords on both sides, flesh and blood flying, most of these Chinese army sergeants are Liu Zhengfeng's descendants, and the Yuan army has persuaded them to surrender several times without results, and everyone is already a never-ending scene.
After several battles, several small circles gradually moved closer to each other and converged into one body, and the outer circle was full of Yuan troops.
In an alley, Huang Er and Ming Shijie led about dozens of people and quietly moved around the city. Now the Yuan army entering the city is mainly concentrated in the main street, the military camp in the city and the south gate to fight, and there are not many Yuan soldiers in the alleys. However, in order not to attract the attention of the Yuan army, Huang Er would rather spare a few more bends under the guidance of Ming Shijie.
"How far is it ahead?" Huang Er is basically recovering from his injuries now, and like most of the wounded who are still in the city, they are now mainly recuperating to prevent the wound from bursting again, or to recuperate his body, at this time he has more than 30 soldiers around him to recuperate.
"Turn another street, and there will be one more street ahead." Ming Shijie replied.
Before the mutation tonight, Ming Shijie found Huang and the others in advance and informed them that something might happen, Huang Er was in a hurry, and immediately decided to gather the soldiers in the city who could fight, picked up swords and guns and prepared to meet Ming Xiong. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Yuan army had already attacked the city first under the arrangement of Yanqilou, and the Yuan army entered the city one after another. Seeing the disparity in strength, Huang Er did not dare to act rashly, and temporarily led people to withdraw from the courtyard where he was originally recuperating from his injuries, and hid in a hidden place to observe first. Later, seeing that the Yuan army was mainly attacking the barracks and the south city gate, and was about to go to support Mingxiong, a spy quietly ran over to report that the Yuan army should detain most of the Shuntian army families in the city, and Yu Lan was also detained there.
"Damn! , if these ghosts are caught by me, they must skin him! Huang Er was shocked, whether Liu Zhengfeng was in danger or not, Huang Er didn't care, but Yu Lan and the others couldn't be sloppy in their safety, not to mention that Liu E was also there for Yu Lan, no matter what, he couldn't let it fall into the hands of the Yuan army.
The relationship between Yu Lan and Yu Zhilong, Liu E has already told Huang Er, in fact, the relationship between Yu Lan and Yu Zhilong is not a secret in the upper echelons of the Jing'an Army, and all the generals are talented and beautiful. These two people look like a good match, and Yu Lan is straight, not delicate and pretentious, without the chewing tongue and selfishness of ordinary women, and some of the generals originally had the intention of asking Lan to marry, but Yu Zhilong is now becoming more and more prestigious, and finally has to hold it in his heart. For example, Qian Zheng once lost his words after drinking with his old friend, lamenting that he had a bad year, and sent a ruthless emotion about falling flowers, but he never mentioned it again after Yu Zhilongding established a new dynasty.
At this time, Huang Er only wanted to save Lan and Liu E first. After asking the spies about the surrounding situation, Huang Er and Ming Shijie immediately chose an alley and touched it. They were not in the same square area as Yu Lan, and they did not dare to enter and exit from the square gate, for fear of encountering a large number of Yuan troops, but chose a secluded house facing the street and crossed the wall.
Soon, Huang Er and the others quietly sneaked to the vicinity of the courtyard where Lan and the others lived. A person poked out of the hidden place on the street corner, and quietly led Huang Er and the others to a street corner, this person was Guo Fengrong, after he heard the news, he rushed here to monitor and answer Huang Er and others.
According to the plan, Yan Qilou ordered his subordinates to pretend to be the Shuntian Army, falsely claiming to be under military orders, and taking these military dependents as hostages, and arrested more than 100 people in the city, most of whom were family members of senior officers in various departments. Because these were all old and weak women and children, Yanqilou only left more than 30 people to guard, and he and his cronies went to capture Liu Zhengfeng and Xie Lin.
Huang Er secretly poked his head out of the street corner and looked at the courtyard in front of him, where all the hostages were. Now the gate of the courtyard is wide open, and there are five or six soldiers guarding the gate outside, and the spies who reported the news just now do not know how many enemy soldiers there are, Guo Fengrong only identified no less than dozens of people in the process of surveillance, and later some soldiers turned to the direction of the county government, and it is estimated that there are no less than a dozen enemy soldiers in the courtyard.
At this time, several places in the city were fighting fiercely, and a few soldiers at the door were chatting softly, looking at the movements everywhere from time to time.
Huang Er retracted his head, not daring to rush over directly, in case the Yuan soldiers inside saw that the situation was not good, and took hostages to coerce him into submission, but he would be a rat bogey!
Looking at the surrounding terrain in a blink of an eye, Huang Er's eyes gurgled and rolled.
"Brother Huang, it's easy to startle the snake if you break through head-on, and it's not good if you hurt the people inside. Most of the houses here are built next to each other, so let's sneak past the houses next to them, and it's a big deal to move a few ladders! Guo Fengrong saw Huang Er looking around, knowing his thoughts, he was familiar with the ground, so he proposed.
"Xiao Guozi, you are still clever, just do it! Shijie, you and everyone stay, Guo Zi and I took a dozen people to the roof, and when we heard the sound of fighting inside, you went over to answer! ”
Ming Shijie knew that Huang Er was eager to save people, and he would definitely not want to let him stay outside, so he nodded and said, "Brother Huang be careful, wait until you recognize the number and location of the guards inside before you do it together." ”
"You're just out there and listening!" Huang Er whispered, patted Ming Shijie on the shoulder, returned to the back with more than a dozen people, found a house, and tried to push the door, but the chai door was closed, it should be that the owner was afraid of things on the latch. The crowd did not knock on the door, but a few people stepped on their shoulders and climbed into the courtyard, and then opened the door to let people in. When the people in the house heard the movement in the courtyard, they did not dare to go out to inquire for fear that the rebels would enter the house, so they simply extinguished the candles in the house, and there was no more sound.
