Chapter 10: Under siege

Although the situation is clear, Brother Erdan still doesn't dare to act rashly. Listening to the sound, I am afraid that there are a lot of ambushes and soldiers, and they are still flanking from front to back, which is obviously premeditated, and whether the 20,000 horses on their own side who are not well prepared can break through is a big problem.

"My lord, what now?" Seeing that the Japanese who were chasing the rout at the foot of the mountain gradually showed their figures, and the second brother standing at the top of the mountain still did not respond, the generals under his command couldn't help but become anxious.

Brother Erdan's expression was unprecedentedly serious. "The enemy situation has been clear, but our men and horses are in chaos, and it is not easy to stabilize them, and now we can't go down the mountain, lest we kill the enemy and be disrupted by our own people."

"But my lord, if we don't move, Lord Li will definitely not let us go afterwards!" The subordinate general said with a worried face. Annoying Li Chengliang has already eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard, and now if he dies again, he will not be killed by him afterwards.

"We'll talk about this later, but for now, let's figure out how to save the situation. Passing my command, the brethren of the avant-garde concealed their bodies and marched in the northwest direction. With that, he took the lead and walked towards the hill behind him.

But although Brother Erdan thought well, the news that he walked up the mountain with 2,000 men and horses had already reached Miyamoto Ichiro's ears, but he heard that it was a Ming army, and Miyamoto Ichiro didn't take it to heart. At this time, the Ming army brigade began to pursue the fleeing Ming army, and Miyamoto Ichiro also remembered the avant-garde men and horses of Brother Erdan, and gave an order, and divided 3,000 soldiers and horses to chase them up the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged, and it is naturally not easy to catch up with Brother Erdan's avant-garde people, but it has put a lot of pressure on Brother Erdan, and his desire to find an opportunity to rush down has also been disappointed.

Turning back to Li Chengliang, he can be said to be in a mess in his heart at this time. Originally, I thought that I would retreat for the time being to stabilize my position and fight again, but I never expected that there would be ambushes behind me. In this way, not only can it not stabilize its position, but it will also consume the little morale that is left, and it is impossible to fight hard at this time.

"Resist, quickly resist Lao Tzu!" Li Chengliang shouted hysterically, but except for the few remaining guards around him, the people and horses of the entire Liaodong Town had already become a pot of porridge, and this was not a problem that could be stabilized by his shouting.

However, being attacked from front to back on the narrow mountain road, it was really no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the ground, so although the men and horses were panicked and anxious to flee for their lives, the two soldiers were still helpless to fight with the Japanese invaders.

This time in the Huangcaoling ambush, Miyamoto Ichiro but after a very careful planning, not only from the Yalu River all the way down the 20,000 horses to use, but also secretly gathered the remaining 30,000 horses in the northern mountains of North Korea to cut off the retreat of Liaodong Town from behind, 50,000 horses by surprise, Miyamoto Ichiro has complete certainty that all the Ming troops who have entered the trap can be annihilated.

The reason why such a superficial plan could be achieved so easily was, in the final analysis, due to the fiasco of the Japanese at the Yalu River. Although a fiasco lost more than 10,000 people, it also made the people of Liaodong Town, who did not know much about it, careless, especially Li Chengliang, the coach, regarded the Japanese as an ordinary thief.

But the Japanese are definitely not the soft persimmons in Li Chengliang's eyes, you must know that the local people have just ended the war. Although these diminutive soldiers may seem weak at first glance, they are all veterans who have experienced life-and-death battles. Although these Kanto men in Liaodong Town are not opponents, they will definitely not have any sense of fear.

Now the situation is reversed, and against the already timid soldiers of Liaodong Town, the bravery of the Japanese is fully displayed, and the katana in his hand flies up and down, and he actually kills those eight-foot-tall Kwantung Han soldiers in defeat and retreat.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and more than 10,000 men and horses who can't advance or retreat are crowded on the narrow mountain road, and Li Chengliang, who was forced to be helpless, had to make another dangerous move and ordered his men and horses to climb the mountain to break through. Although this is a little slower and more difficult, it is much better than being blocked by people on the mountain road and slashing at will.

The Ming army wanted to escape, and Miyamoto Ichiro, who finally waited for them to enter the ambush circle, naturally would not let go easily, and after some scheduling, the place where the two sides were fighting gradually expanded to the slopes on both sides, and the crowds were surging, and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood.

Seeing that the chasing soldiers behind him were getting closer and closer, Brother Erdan scolded angrily, "*** The little man climbs the mountain quite fast, brothers, kill the enemy and receive the reward!" ”

After that, he took the lead diagonally and rushed down the mountain desperately, with a clear goal, that is, the rear of the Japanese Kou. After all, Brother Erdan has been with Shen Chongming for some years, so he naturally has this vision, and he dares to be reluctant.

He knows very well the current situation, it has become like this, it is impossible for the army to retreat in its entirety, and the only thing he can do now is to do his best to reduce casualties and rescue as many people as possible on the premise of keeping his men.

"My lord, the two sides can only mess up with the enemy, let's not care about breaking through from behind!" With the expansion of the battlefield, Shi Ru finally came to Li Chengliang's side.

It seems that the entire Liaodong town except for the people and horses of the Dingliao avant-garde, the rest are controlled by Li Chengliang, and he has been in charge of the rear army escorting grain and grass equipment at the rear, and after the ambush appeared, he wanted to command the battle, but no one obeyed his orders at all, and several generals of the rear army had to wait for Li Chengliang's order. So even if he had any ideas, he could only come to Li Chengliang to talk to him.

"Fart, the enemy is flanked from the beginning to the end, if you only care about escaping, what if the enemy covers and kills from behind." Li Chengliang has his own thoughts, these people are the foundation of his own life, if he escapes regardless of casualties, he is afraid that going back will be a dead end, and the court will definitely take this opportunity to clean up his own. So for the sake of the future, the only option now is to fight to the death to defeat the Wakos.

Looking at the current situation, it is very likely that most of the Japanese invaders have been dispatched to set up an ambush this time, as long as they can defeat them, it means that the purpose of sending troops to North Korea this time has been achieved. In just half a month, the Japanese were defeated, which was definitely a miracle. Even if most of the people are lost for this, with this great merit, even if the imperial court wants to make a move, it has to consider the world's leisurely people.

Shi Ru's face was full of anxiety, "Lord Li, our army's morale is completely gone, and if we don't break through, once the people and horses on both sides are completely entangled, we will not be able to return to the sky!" ”

"Bold Shi Ru, dare to confuse the army's heart here!" Li Chengliang's eyes widened, and he glared at Shi Ru without concealing his murderous aura, and shouted: "Come on, take down this greedy man who is afraid of death and confuses the army's heart!" ”

Surrounded by guards who were absolutely loyal to Li Chengliang, although Shi Ru was the deputy general of this expedition to North Korea, but with Li Chengliang's order, Shi Ru was surrounded by them.

"Master Li, think twice!" At this time, Shi Ru didn't care about his own safety. Although these horses have long been firmly controlled by Li Chengliang for his use, after all, they are all armies formed by the imperial court with military salaries, so they can't watch them all die here.

The current Li Chengliang is Wang Batie, who has eaten the scales, and he has made up his mind, and he doesn't want to listen to persuasion at all. I saw him wave his big hand, and shouted with resentment on his face: "Drag it down!" At the same time, he glanced at one of the guards.

The opportunity is rare, now in the chaos, it is a good time to eradicate dissidents, at this time, to get rid of Shi Ru, it is absolutely unaware, as long as it is reported that he died in battle, no one will definitely pursue this matter.

"Lord Li, think twice, don't miss the soldiers' sex...... Uh......" A muffled snort, Shi Ru's eyes were full of disbelief, at such a time, Li Chengliang actually poisoned himself?!

wanted to shout, wanted to struggle, but as the bright red blood gushed out from the wound in the back of his heart, Shi Ru only felt that the strength of his body also dissipated, and he could only collapse to the ground unwillingly.

"Brothers, kill!" The two brothers who rushed down from the hillside and couldn't stop shouted loudly, and slashed at the Japanese who were also raising their knives to meet them in front of them. With the help of momentum, the strength of this saber is really not small, and the wide saber directly knocks out the Japanese katana that collides with it, and even the Japanese is screaming and hobbing to the ground. Brother Erdan's arms were stunned, and he returned his hand and chopped at the wolf at his feet.

The widow was dumbfounded, but he had nothing to do, so he could only raise his arm to block it. The mantis arm was nothing more than that, only to hear a scream, and an arm with blood flew out.

Brother Erdan didn't look at it, raised the saber and continued to rush forward to kill, a saber flew up and down, and the nearby Japanese who killed it retreated in defeat.

Brother Erdan is brave and invincible, and the soldiers of the Dingliao avant-garde are also arrogant, and they rush forward in the footsteps of Brother Erdan. In the face of the sudden attack, the Japanese position was suddenly chaotic, and the encirclement formed was faintly loosened a little.

Although Li Chengliang made up his mind to fight to the death in this Huangcaoling, the soldiers under his command did not think like this. In normal times, he may obey his orders for military salaries and rations, but at this kind of life and death juncture, how can ordinary soldiers except those generals be willing to die here.

Therefore, when he saw that he had killed a team of his own men and horses on the mountain to attack the Japanese formation, even a fool found that this was a good opportunity to escape for his life. At this time, there is no need for someone to greet them, and the soldiers who are desperately resisting have used their strength to move closer to the avant-garde of Brother Erdan, this is the only chance to escape, if you can't rush out, this life is very likely to be lost in this barren mountain and wilderness.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, Li Chengliang, who was under the protection, had already hidden on a relatively safe hill at this time, looking back and forth at the battle situation with clairvoyance in his hand, frowning and thinking about how to turn the situation around.

It seemed that he found out about Brother Erdan's actions, and suddenly realized that his plan to fight to the death was about to fail.

"Quick, pass on my order, no one is allowed to break through without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed!" His eyes were red, Li Chengliang was really on fire this time.

Seeing the guards walking quickly to pass the order, Li Chengliang pondered for a moment, waved his hand and followed with the rest of the guards.

"My lord, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise the Japanese will surround us, and we won't be able to get out!" A thousand households covered in blood rushed to Brother Erdan's side and said.

Brother Erdan also saw that something was wrong. The number of Japanese pirates was too many, although a burst of impact just now disrupted their formation, but at this time they had already reacted, rearranged their troops and gradually stabilized their position, and their two thousand men and horses were not opponents at all.
