Text Chapter 223 Fierce Battle Nine
Not long ago, Wan Jinhai and Ming Shijie entered the city to reinforce, and the two led the team directly to the military camp in the city, and rescued the Chinese soldiers who had been left less than 100 from the hands of the Yuan army.
The Yuan army that fled into the county government was one of them.
Although Baotou was seriously wounded, he insisted on not retreating, leading the remaining dozens of his subordinates to join Wan Jinhai and resist the Yuan army here.
"Your grandfather Wan is here, and you won't come down yet?" Wan Jinhai, who was sitting on the street, stood up, stepped on the chair with one foot, held his waist straight, and pointed to the Yanqi Building and others opposite with one hand. He has a stubby figure, horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, and the fat and beard on his cheeks jump and jump, and he is alive and well with the image of a vicious and vicious king of the Dao Mountain.
Under the guidance of Ming Shijie, Wanjin Hai led the people to basically annihilate the Yuan army in the camp in the city, but he breathed a sigh of anger in his heart, and now he specially led his troops to set up an interception here, which is to completely cut off the retreat of the Yuan army.
Yan Qilou and the others couldn't help but panic in their hearts, the only way out was blocked by the enemy, and the pursuers behind were gradually approaching, and the feeling of being surrounded was not good for anyone.
Seeing that the left and right relatives had already followed, Yan Qilou secretly made a look, and ordered his subordinates to quietly take out the small crossbow they carried with him, and a group of people quickly moved forward under the cover of the pawns with knives and guns. In order to capture Xie Lin and kill Liu Zhengfeng and others, most of the arrows carried had already been used, and Yan Qilou planned to engage in a sniper attack to completely open a way to escape.
After receiving the news that the Yuan army on the opposite side was approaching, Wan Jinhai had already piled up some tables, chairs, stones and trees on the street, as well as some horses brought from the barracks, and reluctantly set up barricades, leaving only a four-person wide aisle in the middle. Everyone hid behind the barricade, and Wan Jinhai sat in front of the barricade. Yanqilou and others forced over, Wan Jinhai gave an order, and everyone in the Shuntian Army lit torches, flashed their swords and guns, and grabbed the back of the barricade.
Unexpectedly, the Shuntian army still had so many people hidden here, and most of the soldiers of the Yuan army who retreated here couldn't help but be depressed.
Seeing that the surprise he arranged had an effect, the other party was obviously flustered, Wan Jinhai couldn't help but feel proud, he suffered a loss in the camp outside the city, and now he has to find it back on these soldiers! Listening to the movement in the distance, it is obvious that this group of enemy troops in the city has been defeated and retreated. There are prisoners who confess, and there are about 1,000 Yuan troops who went to fight the southern city gate, as long as they are annihilated, the battle in the city tonight will basically be settled.
Wan Jinhai was proud, the Baotou beside him was careful, and when he saw Yan Qilou and others on the opposite side, he seemed to have found something, and suddenly Yan Qilou gave an order, snatched out dozens of people from the soldiers on the opposite side, raised arrows in his hands, and swished over! Baotou didn't have time to warn, so he rushed to Wan Jinhai and pressed him under him, only to hear the sound of arrows penetrating into the flesh, and more than a dozen people had already been shot here, and most of them were out of breath.
Wan Jinhai was lucky, with Baotou's cover, he was fine, but Baotou's right shoulder was hit by an arrow. Under the close-range shooting, the power of the arrow was extremely large, the head of the bao was not armored, and the arrow passed directly through the body, revealing a black and faint arrow oozing blood behind him.
Yan Qilou saw that the sniper shot was very effective, and the leader of the other party lost his square inch for a while, and immediately ordered his subordinates to rush forward. The Yuan army roared up, and the Jing'an army and others desperately resisted. The two sides fought on the street, and Wan Jinhai's ambushes on both sides of the street also came out one after another.
As soon as this side entered the battle, I heard the horn outside the city blowing again and again, and not long after the formation of the Shuntian Army, the heralds in the army were heralds in addition to gongs and drums. The horn was used to communicate, and the military orders were issued by the Yuan army outside the city.
The trumpet was low and sounded, and it resounded throughout the earth in the early hours of the morning. Even in the city where the battle was raging, it was clearly audible.
This is Li Zhenxiong's cavalry launching a charge against the Jing'an army camp!
Li Zhenxiong led all the cavalry around the battlefield and rushed to the west of the city according to the plan. The main camp of the Jing'an Army was there. Gao Shang, Tong Kui and others stayed in the camp, and the main forces of the Jing'an Army went out to fight, and the rest were mainly noble men and horses and some military officers.
There are also a lot of people in the baggage team, and there are nearly seven or eight hundred masters recruited every day. However, the main responsibilities of the baggage unit are logistical transportation and food supply, and not only is the time and intensity of the personnel participating in military training far less than that of the main force, but there are also many old and weak people in the unit, and their combat strength is obviously weak.
Li Zhenxiong's cavalry suddenly lit a large number of torches and appeared outside the camp, and nearly a thousand war horses rushed over, and the shaking of the earth was still detected by the camp. Gao Shang had already prepared to meet the enemy, the front was full of ups and downs, and the city was also full of fire, and the baggage team and the masters were holding weapons, sticks, etc., and the whole team stood behind the wall, and everyone was facing the battlefield in front, pointing and pointing, and talking in a whisper.
When Gao Shang got the report, he immediately judged that it was the Yuan cavalry, and Yu Zhilong took all the main cavalry in the Shuntian Army a few days ago to the south, and the large number of cavalry that appeared at this time could only be the Yuan cavalry!
Because of the decrease in the number of people left behind, it was impossible to hold all the camps, so Gao Shang ordered the defense to shrink, and almost abandoned more than half of the camps, and everyone retreated in Zhilong's Chinese military camp.
Different from the layout of the camps of Wanjinhai and Qin Zhanshan, the camps of Wan, Qin and other camps are mostly set up with a circle of fences and ditches on the periphery, and the entrances and exits are set up to reject horses, etc., and the camp is empty and there is no barrier.
Yu Zhilong's camp layout and protection are obviously more complicated, under the guidance of Mingxiong, a whole camp is divided into several sub-villages, each of which has a wooden fence between them. With Yu Zhilong's Chinese military camp as the center, the arch guards the Chinese military camp, and Yu Zhilong's wall is also equipped with a wooden aisle and battlements more than half a person high, so that defenders can stand on the aisle and shoot arrows or observe. In addition, there are also a lot of horse rejection and wooden rafts in the camp division, which can block the passage at any time. Now Gao Shang concentrated these rejection horses and wooden platoons in the Chinese military camp.
There is also a part of the earthen wall made of soil piled up in the middle barracks, and heavy wooden planks are provided on both sides of the wall, which is actually made of wooden planks as the outer billet, and the middle is made of thick soil and solid, so as to build a simple city wall. The earthen wall is not high, only about two people, which is slightly higher than the wall. It is no more than five steps wide, and it can be used for soldiers to mount and defend in wartime. In the middle of the lot, there is also a wider earthen platform, on which can be placed part of the defensive equipment, such as oil tanks, bed crossbows, etc., the earthen wall is generally located in the fence of the wooden camp, which is the last line of defense in the camp. A large number of horses are placed in the entrance and exit of the camp gate, which can be used at any time to block the passage.
Many people in the noble tribe participated in the last war, although they did not enter the battlefield as the main force, but they won a lot in the final pursuit, and witnessed the whole process of the war, so this time the Yuan cavalry attacked the camp, the sergeant's military heart was not flustered, according to the noble command, they all performed their duties, or moved the horses, wooden platoons, or moved oil drums, flints, or queued up, under the leadership of each hundred households, boarded the passage, ready to meet the enemy.
Fang Xue asked people to take out dozens of simple beds in the warehouse, which was made by craftsmen a few days ago, although it was rough, the tension of the bowstring was far weaker than that of the imperial court military products, and the killing distance was short, but as long as it was close, the killing effect was still good, this was a sharp weapon against Yuan Qi! Most of the bed crossbows were transported to the earthen walls of the partial earthen platform, and the rest were arranged in turn at the exits of several passages.
The one who commanded the bed crossbow was the craftsman Baihu Luan. Most of the controls are all kinds of craftsmen under his command.
Li Zhenxiong personally led the Yuan cavalry to make a detour, and according to the guidance of the scouts, he quickly came to the outside of the camp of the Jing'an army. I saw that there were bonfires everywhere in the camp, and dozens of strings of dead wind lanterns were hanging high on dozens of vertical logs. It can be seen that there are quite few defenders in the camp, and the figures behind the camp are sparse, far less than Wanbu and Xiahou, in fact, most of them are short and hidden behind the Chinese military camp.
Yanqilou had already sent information before the war, and the grain and grass of each unit of the Shuntian Army were mostly in their own camps, and the Jing'an Army had thousands of men and horses, and the amount of grain and grass attached to it was the largest among all departments. As long as these baggage are destroyed and their camps are burned, the morale of the Jing'an Army, which is fighting in the field, will inevitably be greatly lost, and it may even completely collapse due to the lack of follow-up strength.
"Rush in and burn all the supplies!" Li Zhenxiong waved his hand excitedly, "No prisoners will be left!" The guards then conveyed the order to the cavalry, and then the horn was sounded, which was the sound of the whole army's attack.
Boom, horses' hooves roared, and many yuan riders rushed into the outside and inside like a tide. The defenders of several battalions saw that the Yuan cavalry was fierce, and under the leadership of the small leader, they flew towards the Chinese army camp. Gao Shang had already ordered that if the Yuan cavalry rushed in, there was no need to defend in the outer camp, and it was enough to withdraw in advance.
The Yuan cavalry easily rushed into the camp, and after trampling and destroying everywhere, it was soon found that there was no one to defend the outer camp, and the defenders were waiting for the Chinese army's camp. A subordinate ran to Li Zhenxiong and said: "My lord, the baggage of the thieves is hoarded in the Chinese military camp, and the thieves everywhere have already cowered there, and there are no more enemy troops in the camp!" ”
"Xing Qianhu, Qianbaihu, let the two of you immediately take the headquarters to attack the middle camp of the thief army and explore the reality of the thief army!" Li Zhenxiong immediately ordered the two Han cavalry troops from Dizhou to rush forward first. As for his own Tang Wuwei, he is ready to go.
In the last battle, Tang Wuwei suffered heavy losses, and had no choice but to replenish a Han cavalry from Dizhou before leaving.
"No!" The two thousand households understood that the Mongols and Semu people had always been the first to use the Han army to fight the front, and they immediately rushed to the entrance of the camp wall as a whole.
Because there are many bonfires and dead wind lanterns in the camp, and some of the camp tents are also lit by the Yuan Cavalry, like a huge torch, so the sight of the camp is basically unobstructed. A large number of Yuan riders shouted, and rushed to the gate of the camp like a tidal wave.
After getting closer, the Yuan cavalry found that a large number of obstacles such as rejecting horses had been arranged in the passage ahead, and there were many enemy soldiers on the wall.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot! "Gao Shang stood behind the passage, and when he saw that the Yuan Cavalry had arrived, he immediately ordered the shooting of arrows and crossbows.
All the archers have already been arranged in the direction of the impact of the Yuan cavalry, after receiving the order, hundreds of arrows flew towards the Yuan cavalry like long eyes, and suddenly more than a dozen people became hedgehogs with arrows, especially a few bed crossbows on the earth platform directly shot down five war horses, and the Yuan pawns in the front were caught off guard and landed, and were trampled into meat paste by the follow-up war horses!
The Han army rode to the edge of the wall, and the Jing'an army on the wall brandished swords and guns condescendingly slashed and slashed, taking advantage of a lot, if it were not for the lack of martial arts training of the baggage personnel, the losses of the Han army cavalry must have been quite large.
Li Zhenxiong saw clearly in the back, and immediately ordered two teams of Tang Wuwei to follow up, these two teams of Yuan cavalry did not contact the Jing'an army, but close behind, drawing bows and arrows, or throwing hand axes, one team aimed at the Jing'an army on the earthen wall, fortunately, there were some battlements on the earthen wall, and the defending soldiers tried to hide behind, and there were not many dead and wounded. The main target of the first team was the Jing'an army behind the passage.
The two armies fought for a while and suffered losses from each other, but judging from the casualties on both sides, it was obvious that the Yuan army suffered losses.
Although there were many rejected horses in the passage, and some were even half-buried in the soil, but under the strong order of Li Zhenxiong, the front team abandoned the horses, disregarded the flying arrows, and dismantled the obstacles one by one. The noble troops also lost dozens of people, mainly due to the projectiles and throwing axes of the Yuan cavalry behind.
The cavalry and assault force of the Yuan Cavalry was still very large, and it didn't take long for some of the outermost wooden fences to be completely broken through, and only the last ring of earthen wall defense was left.
"My lord, there is only one exit in the wall, and there is a large amount of Jing'an thieves' baggage in it, and some of the thief's baggage has been captured in the camp!" A subordinate immediately came to report after inquiring about the surrounding news.
"Burn all the seizures!" Li Zhenxiong said without thinking. The order was handed down, and many of the captured baggage of the battalion were gradually burned by the Yuan army, and the flames gradually increased, and finally all the baggage was caught in flames.
Finally back.
