Chapter 644: Desperate Situation
Chen Jisheng's troubles were quickly resolved, and he could also withdraw from it, leaving aside the matter of the Japanese and starting to worry about the battle situation in Jiayuguan again. After some hesitation, he hurriedly found Mao Wenlong and asked Mao Wenlong for permission to lead 10,000 cavalry over to help!
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that the matter of the Japanese Kou will no longer have any impact on Liaodong?" What should you do if people are held hostage again? ”
Faced with Mao Wenlong's questioning, Chen Jisheng's confidence just now suddenly became depressed, and he said hesitantly: "This ...... General soldiers, there are no absolutes, now Jiayuguan is in an emergency, and the Japanese in Liaodong have been disabled by us, and they should not be able to pose a threat to us for a while. Besides, aren't there still Adou and Uncle Guan who are there, and they are better than our regular army to deal with these remaining widows. ”
In order to get out, Chen Jisheng was also forced to begin to belittle himself and his proud subordinates.
Mao Wenlong frowned, but he had to admit that what Chen Jisheng said just now still had some truth. After thinking about it, Mao Wenlong finally relented: "Okay, you can prepare tonight and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Jiayuguan is now facing the frantic attack of Huang Taiji, and Jiayuguan, which is only 5,000 soldiers and horses left, may be breached at any time. Mao Wenlong didn't want to be ransacked by Huang Taiji in Datong.
Chen Jisheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye and went to arrange tomorrow's trip by himself.
The situation in Jiayuguan at the moment has far exceeded Mao Wenlong's expectations, and it can be said that it is precarious. After two days of trying to attack, Huang Taiji found that Mao Wenlong had not mobilized troops and horses from Liaodong to assist in the defense.
This is clearly that Mao Wenlong has been entangled by the Japanese in Liaodong and cannot get out, with such a judgment, Huang Taiji began to be bold. Early this morning, the third frantic attack began, and the artillery fire of the Dongjiang Army was still roaring on the battlefield.
Huang Taiji found that the artillery fire of the Dongjiang Army was becoming more and more sparse, and only one or two cannon shots would be heard every dozen breaths from continuous to now. Huang Taiji had already expected that the Dongjiang Army was obviously running out of ammunition.
"It's time for us to attack!" Huang Taiji showed a hideous smile on his face, and said to himself coldly.
This time, Huang Taiji's army had no war horses, and the whole army was 100,000, but there were only more than 10,000 war horses, but most of them were stallions and old horses. It can be said that the combat power of the Jin soldiers has been greatly reduced, but here in Jiayuguan, Huang Taiji is not worried about this at all.
After all, before attacking Jiayu Pass, he had already thought that fighting Jiayu Pass was mainly to attack the city, and there was no need to fight like fighting in the vast wilderness, and it didn't matter if there were war horses or not. At most, after attacking the Jiayu Pass, their mobility is not as flexible as before, nor can they go around to raid as before, but these are not important.
Huang Taiji's purpose this time was not to run away as soon as he was frightened, his purpose was very clear, that is, to occupy Jiayu Pass, and then garrison heavy troops here. Relying on the natural danger of Jiayuguan to confront Mao Wenlong, he achieved the goal of not allowing the Dongjiang Army to attack the Jin State at will.
Xu Fuzuo was the defender of Jiayuguan, and in the two days of battle, more than half of the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army had been killed and wounded, and he relied on sharp artillery to resist the two formal attacks of the Jin soldiers. However, now that the ammunition is seriously insufficient, if no reinforcements arrive today, Jiayuguan will definitely not be able to hold it anymore.
Standing on the city tower, watching the golden soldiers retreat like a tide, Xu Fujuan's face did not have a trace of joy. He knew very well that this did not mean that the Jin soldiers would really retreat, but that they were just preparing for the next wave of larger-scale battle formations.
An adjutant general came quickly and bowed: "General, our artillery shells have all run out, if the Jin soldiers continue to attack, we can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with them." ”
Xu Fuzuo was indeed calm, he didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Haven't you received any news of help?" ”
The adjutant shook his head and said, "No." ”
Xu Fuzuo didn't reply, he slowly pulled out the saber on his waist and slammed it on the ground, and laughed fiercely: "No matter what, we must hold Jiayu Pass, even if there is only one person left in the end, no one can retreat!" ”
"Don't back down!" The crowd shouted loudly.
Xionghui's shouting boosted everyone's morale, Xu Fuzuo was very satisfied, and he continued: "The general army will definitely not let us go, the reinforcements will definitely come back, and we can't mess with ourselves." ”
"General soldier, mighty...... The Dongjiang Army is mighty! Again yelled in unison.
Xu Fuzuo raised his hands and pressed them slightly, and waited until everyone was quiet before he spoke: "Tell everyone that anything that can be used in the city will be moved to the city wall." As long as the Jin soldiers come again, we will stone them to death, and if we get all the fierce fire oil together, even if we all die, we will not be able to leave anything for the Jin soldiers. ”
Obviously, although Xu Fuzuo firmly believed that Mao Wenlong would not ignore Jiayuguan, he would definitely bring reinforcements. But in order to prevent accidents, he still made the worst plan, as long as the city is broken, he would rather destroy this gate than leave it to Huang Taiji.
With less than 3,000 men to resist the attack of nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, there was no possibility of victory at all. The only hope is that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible, and the only thing Xu Fuzuo can do is to delay a little longer as much as possible, that's all!
The generals ordered each to return to their own defensive places, and Xu Fuzhuo's side was only followed by two personal guards, and the rest were all sent out to assist in the defense.
The position of the Jin soldiers suddenly sounded the sound of war drums, and with the rapid beating of the war drums, I saw that the phalanx besieging the city began to slowly come out of the ranks, advancing towards Jiayuguan City.
In the face of the attack of nearly 100,000 troops, although the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army knew in their hearts that they might not escape the fate of dying on the battlefield this time, they did not have a trace of timidity. They felt honored to die fighting to defend the city, so they were not afraid.
The invisible coercion from the Jin Soldier Battle Array began to permeate the entire battlefield. With the rapid sound of drums, the golden soldiers began to stride forward firmly, and the dense golden soldiers were like a flood beast, which would hit the crumbling Jiayu Pass at any time.
The forward of the golden soldiers has been replaced by all the archers this time, and without the threat of artillery, the archers have nothing to fear this time. After 300 meters below the city, they began to shoot from their backs.
It is not an exaggeration to describe such a scene when thousands of arrows were sent out, and the dense rain of arrows overwhelmingly shot on the wall of Jiayuguan.
"Get on the shield!" Xu Fuju immediately roared and ordered.
