Chapter 13: The Battle of Chenglingji IV

The change in the tide of the war came as a surprise to all.

Although the reinforcements of the Ming army were still miles away, it seemed that reaching the battlefield was a foregone conclusion.

It is about fifteen miles from Yueyang City to Chenglingji, and it is an official road again. Now that you can see the smoke and dust, you know that it won't be long before reinforcements arrive.

The first to discover this point was Wang Jincai.

Because of the line of sight, there is Chengling Mountain to obstruct it, and the situation on the south side of Chengling Mountain cannot be seen from the north.

And Wang Jincai's position is relatively open.

Seeing this situation, Wang Jincai's heart tightened, and he said secretly: "Does Lao Tzu want to explain here?" ”

On the battlefield on the riverbank, there were not many people, but the battles were very scattered. Almost as soon as he rushed ashore, it was a hand-to-hand encounter, Wang Jincai's troops were always in a situation of fighting on their own, fortunately, there were not too many enemies blocked, and Wang Jincai did not put all the Ningbo troops into the battlefield. But put at least one battalion.

These 3,000 soldiers had all kinds of accidents in the process of going ashore in a small boat. Lost a lot of people, but compared with the Ming army, it still had an advantage in numbers, but because of the change of ships. For a time, the form is not a resultant force.

Some are in front, some are in the back.

Therefore, Wang Jincai has always been at the center of the fight, and the general flag behind him has never fallen, in order to boost morale.

"Fireworks." Wang Jincai held the long knife in his hand, and the white cloth that entwined his hand with the handle had already become blood-red, and as the blood dried up, it turned black little by little.

These firecrackers are an agreed emergency signal. Wang Jincai can't launch until the end, and now in Wang Jincai's view, it's the last moment.

Because when they were on the boat, many people were drenched, and many fireworks were dumbfired, and several were lit before one exploded in the sky.

Wang Jin saw the explosion of the cannon, and smashed his helmet on the ground, only to see that he was sweating profusely, and his head was oily, as if he was going to be stiffened, because it was summer, and a smell of sweat came to his nose, which was a manly smell of iron and blood.

"Brothers." Wang Jincai said: "Lao Tzu has taken you to work hard. ”

Then he rushed to the forefront again.,Kill in the direction of Chenglingji.。。

As an experienced veteran, when he can slip his head and when he can't slip his head, he can't be clearer, at this moment he is desperate and brave, and he doesn't have to be much worse than Luo Dai.

The Ming army, which was killed for a while, retreated step by step, because the battlefield was not big, and retreated to the bottom of Chenglingji for a while.

If you move the camera from Wang Jincai's head to the north, you will see that Yang Congyi, who was besieged from both sides and fought hard, and then to the northeast from Yang Congyi, you will see the Linying camp that followed one after another, and from here

If you move further north, you can see Zhang Xuan's big tent.

Zhang Xuan was under the banner and saw Wang Jincai's fireworks from a distance.

The reason for hesitating the distance, the sound of the explosion of the flower cannon was not clear in Zhang Xuan's ears, because it was covered by a lot of cannon sounds, but the gunpowder smoke that exploded in the sky was extremely eye-catching in the air.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Although Wang Jincai has been playing clever under Zhang Xuan, and he has his own careful thoughts in his heart, but in the past few years, Zhang Xuan has long regarded Wang Jincai as his hardcore descendant. On the battlefield, it is the place where you can best draw in mutual affection.

Wang Jincai had already sent a critical signal, although Zhang Xuan didn't know what was going on on Wang Jincai's side for a while. But I couldn't sit still.

Zhang Xuan said to Zheng Lian: "Beat the drum and promote the war." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian immediately went to give the order.

"The general has an order, beat the drum to promote the war."

"The general has an order, beat the drum to promote the war."

A shout passed the order.

Before all the drums of war, countless drummers stripped off their coats, wore only shorts, and bulged muscles all over their bodies, and the first one shouted, "Hah, in front of the big drums that have been surrounded for days." "The long drumsticks slammed into the drum surface, which shook the air with a dull, low sound.

"Boom."

A drum sounded, and countless drums responded together.

"Knock, knock. Boom. "Countless big men work together, and from a distance, countless arms are like one, countless drumsticks are like one, and countless drums make the same sound, the sound of the heartbeat.

"Knock knock knock."

The drums are beating faster and faster, faster and faster. It seems that only the drumstick is illusory, but the drumstick itself cannot be seen. Every drum, every flick, sweat flung on the ground, but in a moment, the ground was wet. There is a substitute behind every drummer, ready to take over the drummer at any time, and without Zhang Xuan's order at this moment, the drummer is knocked to death, and he is not allowed to stop.

In the same way, before the drumming stopped, even if the people died, they had to attack.

In fact, there are a lot, the battlefield space is limited, Zhang Xuan has already smashed everyone into it, not like this. Just urging the front to attack.

Under Zhang Xuan's order, the remaining soldiers lined up and approached Chengling Mountain far away.

Xu Du looked back and almost gritted his teeth. slammed the helmet on the ground, ripped off the armor on his body, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and a gust of wind blew, and he also felt a lot cooler.

Armor, especially ironclad. It's absolutely uncomfortable to wear, it's cold in winter and hot in summer, the iron armor is as cold as ice in winter, and the iron armor is as hot as charcoal in summer

Shape. It's extremely uncomfortable, cotton armor is slightly better than iron armor, and it still has warmth properties in winter, but in summer, it can suffocate people to death.

Xu Du's heart was on fire. I just felt that this armor was extremely cumbersome, so I simply didn't want it.

In fact, in Zhang Xuan's view, Xu Du is brave and fierce, and there is an obvious tendency to self-destruct. Chen Zilong's death never faded in his heart. Xu Du seems to be unable to get out of this shadow for the rest of his life. Although Chen Zilong is a good friend of Xu Du, the friendship between the two of them is not equal.

Chen Zilong is one of the three sons of the famous Yunjian, and he is a famous person in the whole world, while Xu Du is just a student who can't study, although he has some insights in the art of war, but he is not valued by the world. Chen Zilong's friendship with Xu Du, in Xu Du's view, is a broken handover. It can even be said that Chen Zilong is Xu Du's spiritual idol.

And everything makes people, but in the end, the two have such an ending.

What did Xu Du think in his heart, how did he face himself in the dead of night, and how he betrayed himself in the first half of his life. Zhang Xuan doesn't know, but he never wants to die when he fights from Xu Du, and he acted in two styles before.

Zhang Xuan may be able to speculate a thing or two.

In any case, generals who are not fatal in such a war, and even have some survival tendencies, are becoming more and more satisfactory on the battlefield.

After all, the battlefield is a place where people are left to die and then born, a place where normal people become crazy and make crazy people even crazier.

Xu Du broke through the city wall in the sound of rumbling drums. The two sides again engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and for a time all the artillery on the hill stopped.

Zhang Xuan sensitively felt the difference and said, "Qin Meng." ”

Qin Meng immediately said: "The last general." ”

"Rush up for me." Zhang Xuan drew his sword and pointed at Chengling Mountain and said.

Qin Meng said, "Yes." ”

Cavalry rushing into the mountains is actually not a good choice. However, Chengling Mountain is not a natural hazard, but this slope rushes up, and it is easy to be knocked down by the fire on the mountain. Zhang Xuan grasped the timing very accurately. While there was a scuffle on the top of the mountain, the cavalry rushed into the mountain, and there should be no resistance.

Even if the cavalry can't exert much power after rushing up, even if it is dismounted and fighting on foot, it is still a new force of more than 1,000 people.

When the number of cavalry in Great Xia was decreasing more and more, the quality of cavalry in Great Xia seemed to be improving more and more. As a cavalry, the treatment is twice that of ordinary foot soldiers, so whether they get on the horse and charge into battle, or dismount and fight on foot, they are not afraid to fight, this is their old job.

Cao Ying and even the Ming Dynasty have such a tradition.

Qin Meng's department was only the first wave, and then the soldiers of each battalion rushed forward one after another, and the mountains and fields seemed to be about to submerge Chengling Mountain. Faced with such a situation, Zhang Xianbi had no other way, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let the reinforcements come to the mountain first, don't worry about the things below." ”
