Chapter 322: Famous General 3
But Yu Zhilong's camp again was easily broken by Na Risong again on the third day.
This time, it was still the fire oil bombs that were splashed like a tidal wave, burning the camp of the Jing'an army to a pulpten, and when the fire broke out, countless crossbow arrows poured like a torrential rain, and the Jing'an army was simply unable to effectively defend and extinguish the fire.
If it was three times, although the loss of the military horses under Yu Zhilong was not large, the gongs and drums, flag tents, and baggage were almost destroyed.
Yu Zhilong also went out of the camp to fight, but that Risong did not give him a chance to fight at all, and the Yuan army's divine crossbow battalion was heavily guarded, and poured a large number of strong crossbows into the Jing'an army's charging line. Even though the Jing'an Army urgently allocated many large and small shields, under the attack of the super powerful crossbow, the shields of the front line were difficult to resist. The sharp crossbow arrows broke through the shield, and even directly tore part of the wooden shield, deeply piercing the body of the Jing'an sergeant.
What's more, the fire oil bombs of Narisong also played a great role in auxiliary attack, and the flames everywhere greatly delayed the speed and strength of the Jing'an army's charge.
Yu Zhilong tried several times, and saw that the losses were not small, so he had to shrink his forces and stick to the camp, but under the unscrupulous oppression of the fire oil and crossbow arrows of that day, he often couldn't hold out for three hours and was forced to retreat.
The last time he retreated and camped, it was less than twenty miles away from Rizhao City.
But the plot was played out as usual, and this simple Jing'an military camp was broken in less than an hour under the blow of that daysong. All units of the Jing'an Army retreated one after another, and they had long lost the solemn and mighty look of the day, and even Yu Zhilong's yellow-toothed handsome banner had already been surrounded by the chaotic soldiers and ran away.
"Catch the thief, the bounty is 10,000 taels!" The Yuan army was blinded by the high reward. In the eyes of the Yuan army, a large number of flags, grain and grass, armor, shoes, and even weapons, fine and soft were abandoned in the wilderness by the rout, the only fly in the ointment is that the escape speed of the rout is inevitably faster, and the direction of escape is Rizhao City, which makes the Yuan army outflanked by the two wings hate: the opponent runs in a straight line, and they are ordered to chase the arc, unless a miracle happens, it is impossible to achieve the purpose of outflanking in any case.
In this pursuit, the Jing'an thieves seemed to be obviously completely messed up, and from time to time they were found in the discarded soft on the ground, there were strings of copper coins, jade, wrenches, and even silver bills with white flowers!
Seeing the forward Yuan soldiers, they all took the abandoned soft on the ground into their arms, and the Yuan soldiers of the other departments that followed were almost red-eyed, not only did the Chinese army of Narisong begin to form a formation, but even the Yuan army on both wings gradually moved closer to the center, and the Yuan troops of the last pursuit were almost in unison.
At this time, it doesn't matter if you can't catch up with Jing'an thieves, as long as you run faster than your companions! The distracted soldiers even began to shed their armor, carrying a steel knife and screaming like mad dogs.
The soldiers no longer paid attention to the insults and whippings of the officers, and pursued them, and the various departments gradually became chaotic, the soldiers and generals were mixed, and the banners were difficult to carry out.
A few days ago, the Yuan Army's Divine Crossbow Battalion, which had shown its might, was suddenly stunned. Except for those left behind in the barracks, most of the Yuan army was almost in pursuit, and their troops with heavy machinery and crossbows could only eat ashes in the back. Fortunately, that day Song was very sorry for their treasure, and before the pursuit, he specially left a few infantry troops of thousands of households to protect them, telling them to move forward slowly.
Looking down from the sky, the two crowds totaling about 30,000 people rushed to Rizhao City one after another. Along the way, it passes through Zhulong Mountain, Silk Mountain, and Tuan Mountain in the north of the city. Among the forwards, Tian Hu, Fang Ji and other horsemen who took the lead could already overlook the faint city wall in the south from afar.
The various units of the Yuan army, which were almost so excited that they were almost hysterical, suddenly heard the Lianzhu cannon burst like thunder!
That day Song was so shocked that he had to slow down his horse and urgently ordered his men to probe left and right. Before the scouts could report back, they saw countless black and oppressive military horses emerging from the front and the flat ground on the left and right, lined up in a strict formation, and quickly pounced.
"Medium, retreat!" On that day, Song suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately turned the horse's head, and the troops following behind him were immediately knocked on their backs by their own men who turned around and retreated in front, and the pursuit sequence was quickly chaotic.
Tian Hu, Fang Ji, He Biao and others were in the forefront of the pursuit, vigorously slashing and killing the backward Jing'an army, and when they heard the horn of the cannon, they realized that they were in ambush, and they retreated in a hurry, and it was too late. The ambush on all sides pressed up, surrounded them in the center, and several people led the crowd to attack left and right, and the subordinates suffered countless losses.
"Report, General Yu Shichang has begun to assault the Tartar crossbow battalion, the Tartars have collapsed, and our army has captured countless machines!" A piece of news was reported as soon as Zhilong went.
"Well done!" Yu Zhilong was overjoyed.
This ambush was carefully arranged by Yu Zhilong. It's a pity that the preparation is still insufficient, especially the various subordinate departments have been undertrained, and this retreat has almost been smashed! Because of the panic of several thousands of households behind the palace, they were caught up by Fang Ji, Tian Hu and others, and it was difficult to get out of the entangled for a while. Yu Zhilong strictly ordered Duchun, Tan Ye and others to counterattack several times before they reluctantly took them back.
Fortunately, Tian Hu and the others didn't care about the life or death of the prisoners at all, and would rather directly cut down the backward Jing'an army, dislike them for blocking the way, and not slow down the pace of pursuit. The possibility of the prisoner's leak, which Yu Zhilong had been worried about, did not happen.
Yu Shichang's attack on the rear of the Yuan army, the Shenji Battalion, was the starting point of this battle.
The lethality and threat that the Shenji Battalion gave to the Jing'an Army was too great! Yu Zhilong was forced to use three barracks to barely consume most of that day's crossbow arrows and fire oil bombs. He tried his best to make the move of withdrawing from the queen in front of the enemy, discarding all the grain, grass, firewood, camp tents, most of the snare drums, flags, and even throwing away all kinds of copper plates, money, fine soft and hundreds of silver bills worth thousands of taels, so as to basically dispel Na Risong's suspicions.
That day Song ran all the way, and the hatred in his heart. Yu thief, too cunning! In order to lure himself, he did not hesitate to give up nearly a thousand soldiers after the break! If he hadn't seen Yu Zhilong's troops return, and the rear that was entangled in the Yuan army's forward would desperately protect the breakthrough and go out, he would have doubted it, so he would have slowed down the pursuit and slowly tried to figure it out.
I hated myself for being so confused that I didn't even have time to ask the prisoner's confession.
This Yu Zhilong is really willing, doesn't he know that the unit sent to rescue is likely to fall into the hands of the enemy?
In order to save hundreds of soldiers after the break, he did not hesitate to throw hundreds of soldiers into it, and Ci did not take charge of the soldiers, isn't it a fool? Such a person can also be defeated several times, and it is stupid enough!
But at this time, it is obvious that he is the fool with bad luck, no matter what, run back first!
That day, the pine horse did not slow down, but the thoughts were churning. Any Yuan army foot soldiers who stood in the way were knocked to the ground by him and his guards.
On this day, almost thirty percent of Narisong's army was lost, and the sharp weapons and magic machine battalions in the army were gone! The crossbows and arrows he carried were almost completely destroyed by Yu Shichang.
After Yu Zhilong regained two camps in a row, he stopped the pace of pursuit.
That night, seeing the battle report that was finally counted, Yu Zhilong was bittersweet. The good news is that the Yuan Army's heavy weapon Shenji Battalion was finally basically destroyed, and the worry is that the current strength of the Jing'an Army is still limited, in order to build momentum, Yu Zhilong had to transfer half of the military strength and most of the troops to pretend to be defeated, so that the military strength of the ambush soldiers is insufficient, and all the gains are limited, but after all, the harvest is limited.
In particular, the combat strength of the Yuan army's Zhongtian Hu, Fang Ji, Agoura, He Biao and other units was indeed strong, although the defeat and retreat had not completely collapsed, and they simply joined forces to block the siege of the Jing'an army on three sides, and bought an extremely valuable time for the withdrawal of most of Narisong. It's no wonder that Narimatsu is so confident.
After this battle, the strength of the Matsusho department was almost halved, and the morale plummeted; On the Jing'an army's side, most of the grain and grass were destroyed, and if the confrontation lasted too long, it would be difficult to last. Both sides have their own thoughts, and they are caught in each other's wait-and-see for a while.
That day Song was naturally furious that night, and the generals responded cautiously and did not dare to say more. After returning to the camp, they hurriedly counted and reorganized their troops, preparing to fight again in the coming day.
On the second day, more than 100 captured Yuan soldiers were released by the Jing'an army, and after the captives returned to the camp, Nari Song and others carefully interrogated, and most of them were Fang Ji. When asked the reason again, Duodao was that Yu Zhilong admired Fang Ji's bravery and had a heroic year, so he ordered to select his captured subordinates, not to be embarrassed, and after eating and drinking, he would be released at dawn.
That day, Song was even more ashamed, Fang Ji couldn't defend himself, he expected that Zhilong would relax his vigilance after the victory, so he asked for the order to steal the camp in person that night. On that day, Song agreed to his request, and then ordered the generals Lei Heng and Meng Dechi to go together.
On this night, the stars and moon were dark, Fang Ji ordered his subordinates, and quietly sneaked to the side of the Jing'an Army Dazhai in Lei Heng and Meng Dechi. Seeing that the camp was brightly lit and full of people, the army shouted, broke through the fence, and swarmed in.
The Jing'an army was suddenly attacked, but they did not dare to stop it, and they fled in all directions. Fang Ji rushed to the front of the Chinese military tent first, and saw Yu Zhilong wearing soft armor and entering the tent in a panic to dodge, shouted loudly, and chased after him with a halberd.
With a bang, Fang Ji's mount suddenly sank, and even the man and the horse fell into the deep pit. It turned out that a rather large circular trap had already been dug in front of the Chinese army's tent, covering it with floating soil. The Yuan army could not be detected.
Immediately, countless horns sounded around the camp, and the Jing'an army, which had been in ambush for a long time, came from all sides, Lei Heng, Meng Dechi and others were shocked, regardless of Fang Ji, rushed back in blood, and retreated on their own. Fang Ji's department desperately moved forward with Fang Yan and Fang Kai, wanting to save Fang Ji, but the Jing'an army was besieged like a mountain, and finally Fang Ji was captured.
At the end of the fight, Fang Ji and others should be captured and pushed dozens of people into the military tent by the five flowers, Yu Zhilong was overjoyed, ordered the left and right to loosen the ties, and Wen Yan persuaded Fang Ji to return. Fang Ji scolded angrily, only saying that Zhilong was cunning and shameless, and he was not martial.
Duchun, Yu Shichang, Cui Hu, Qu Bo and others were furious and wanted to draw their swords to cut them, and Kong Ying and Meng Chang, who joined the army, tried their best to hold a few people.
Yu Zhilong smiled: "In the Tartar army, Yu is a hero who respects generals." Now that you have lost two times, how can you rather not be convinced? Okay, this time, let you go back, and next time you will win! ”
"It's just that next time you will capture me, can you obey?"
"Hugh speaks big! Tonight is not careless, the next time we meet, we will know! ”
Yu Zhilong no longer paid attention to Fang Ji, turned to Zuo Zhengse, a captured general of the dozens of people under his tent, and said: "The Yuan court is cruel, and the world is bitter. As a sergeant, you have aided and abused in the past, and you can't help yourself. Today, the Jing'an army is doing the right thing for the sky, taking it as its own responsibility to save the common people, and it will be released tonight, if you are obsessed with it again, you will not agree to be the first one! "Everyone only promises, but they don't dare.
As a result, Fang Ji and others returned safely overnight.
Seeing Na Ri Song, Fang Ji couldn't help but be ashamed, and Na Ri Song tried his best to suppress the anger rolling in his heart, and comforted: "Yu Xiao Thief is cunning, it is Ben Shuai who has done it." The general can go back and rest in peace. ”
Fang Ji said: "Tonight, set up an ambush for the thief, deliberately let us go, it must be a plan to discord, I wish to attack the camp again tomorrow night, and I will be captured by the thief!" ”
Deputy Marshal Li Fei and others praised on the side: "The little general is more rigid than steel, I think that the thief is young and vigorous, and he despises us and others, and he will get a win if he goes tomorrow night!" ”
That day, after thinking about it for a long time, Fang Ji said impatiently: "Don't work the marshal to send troops to help, a certain self-led department, go away!" ”
Only then did Risong agree: "This is the time, the little general must be careful!" Seeing that Lei Heng, Meng Dechi, Tian Hu and others were not talking, he ordered everyone to hurry up and rest the soldiers and horses, and wait for news.
Fang Ji strode back to the camp, and the generals asked Fang Yan and others: "Little general, why don't you ask the marshal to send an auxiliary army?" Is there a response? ”
Fang Ji snorted: "They were already frightened by the thief, what is the use? Tomorrow night, you only need to travel lightly and lead only the elite cavalry. Out of the thief camp tonight, I saw that the thief army was preparing a banquet in a big way, and I didn't expect that the thief would forget after the victory, and I never expected that I would dare to steal the camp again! ”
Fang Yan and the others looked at each other, and their courage increased: "I am willing to follow the general, capture the thief, and humiliate him!" Dispel the anger in our hearts! ”
On the second night, Fang Ji reorganized his cavalry, selected 400 horsemen, with a coin in his mouth and a horse wrapped in his hooves, and deliberately quietly left the camp after twilight. Along the ravine, go all the way around, avoid the patrol posts of the Jing'an army, and be careful to come to the back of the Jing'an army camp. From a distance, under the countless high-hanging lanterns in the camp, Yu Zhilong's yellow tooth tent flag was hoisted high in the camp.
Fang Ji and the others looked at the direction, and sent more than a dozen fine people to go quietly, dig up the fence outside the camp, tie it with hemp rope, and the whole army got on the horse, gradually accelerated, and after reaching the camp, the fence was pulled down. Swarming from the gap.
In the camp, the Jing'an army suddenly rioted, and it was too late to stop the enemy army for a while. Fang Ji wielded his halberd like a raging wind and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
When I came to the front of the tent, I had already seen Yu Zhilong sitting in the middle of the military tent, dispatching troops, and more than 100 guards in front of the tent. Fang Ji shouted: "The thief is killed!" "Urge the war horse to speed up and kill forward. His halberd circled left and right, repelled the guards, and finally rushed into the big tent, Yu Zhilong got up in shock, and was about to run away from the case, Fang Ji was furious, and several Jing'an army guards who flew left and right rushed over, roared, and leaped on horseback.
Suddenly, the ground collapsed with a bang, and it turned out that under the huge blanket laid in the tent was a deep pit, and the top was covered with fine wood to bear the weight, but it could not bear the weight of Fang Ji's people, horses, armor, and weapons.
Fang Ji exclaimed: "Bitter! "Again in the box.
The commander was captured, the rest lost their fighting spirit, and after the Jing'an army was besieged on all sides, Mu Chun came out of the ranks and shouted: Those who abandon weapons will not die!
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Fang Yan and others had to put down their weapons and capture.
