[184] Almost landed

Seeing that the Ming army launched a counterattack, he immediately ordered the Jiannu infantry to retreat, and the elite iron cavalry on both wings began to move slowly, preparing to give the Ming army a side attack as soon as it reached the open ground.

However, when the Ming army saw that Jiannu had retreated past Zhenjiang Mountain and entered the open field, they no longer pursued it, but retreated to the same place.

"Song Youliang~" Ao Bai rode a tall horse, seeing the Jiannu infantry fleeing back in a hurry, but he didn't have the slightest annoyance, but his eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about something.

Sebent said: "Uncle, the firearms of the Southern Barbarians can be defended but not attacked, we should not attack the camp or fortress of the Southern Barbarians, but should take the Southern Barbarians by surprise when he is marching." ”

"Didn't you and Mulima try?" Ao Bai said.

Sebent said: "That's different, at that time, the southern barbarians and we were crowded in a narrow strip between the sea and the hills, and our cavalry advantage could not be brought into play~ Now from here to Zhenjiang Fort, it is a plain with a flat river, and there is no mountain, our cavalry, whether iron or light horse, can play the ability to come and go like the wind~"

Ao Bai thought about it and said with a smile: "Your idea does have some truth, and it is not a big deal for us to win the battle here, so it is better to let the Ming army out of the valley~"

"Chirp~!"

After throwing down more than 2,000 corpses, Ao Bai withdrew to Zhenjiang Fort.

After Aobai retreated, Song Youliang led the Ming army to continue to advance in the direction of Kuandian, during which there was no large force of Jiannu appeared, but a dozen people, a group of more than 20 light cavalry was elusive, like a man-eating crocodile in the potential water. Sometimes in the middle of the night to shoot a few arrows at the Ming army camp, sometimes a few bonfires were lit near the Ming army camp. If the camp of the Ming army was close to the bushes, the Jiannu set fire to the wind from the upwind and so on.

Although these harassments did not cause much damage to the Ming army, they made the Ming army highly nervous, and Song Youliang was no exception. This harassment became more frequent as the Ming army got closer to Zhenjiang Fort, and Song Youliang was sure that the location of the decisive battle must be Zhenjiang Fort.

Under such harassment, Song Youliang still walked to Zhenjiang Fort "without hesitation". On June 28, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army, which had been marching slowly, finally arrived near Huangnidian, less than five miles south of Zhenjiang Fort. Yellow mud dun is a swampy meadow, which is developed under environmental conditions such as low-lying terrain, poor drainage, excessive moisture soil, and poor permeability.

Song Youliang urged the war horse into the meadow, "Huh~" The war horse under Song Youliang's crotch neighed, snorting and spinning unnaturally in the soft and rotten meadow.

"Driving~" Song Youliang strangled the horse's head and tried to make the war horse run, but the soft and rotten meadow made the war horse very uncomfortable and couldn't run at all, so Song Youliang led the war horse out of the meadow slowly, while touching his chin and thinking about something.

"Report~~" A Ming army soldier shouted and interrupted Song Youliang's thoughts, "Report to the army, the Jiannu army is coming~"

"How many?" Song Youliang was a little unhappy when he was interrupted.

The pawn replied: "Let's say there are 30,000~"

"Thirty thousand?" Song Youliang put aside the unpleasantness and muttered: "It seems that Jiannu is almost out of the nest~" Song Youliang immediately said loudly: "Order the whole army to stop advancing and meet the enemy on the spot." ”

"Order~" The pawn hurriedly patted his horse and went to give the order.

Before the pawn of the herald left Song Youliang's sight, Song Youliang saw dust billowing in the north, west, and south directions, and countless rumbling horses' hooves and shouts rushed together, as if they were about to swallow the Ming army surrounded in the core.

"Hurry up that ~~Wow~~" The fierce Jiannu ironclad cavalry acted as the vanguard this time, each of them held a bow in their hands, but they did not bring an arrow bag, their task was to shoot an arrow at the heavy infantry of the Ming army, and then even the men and horses to impact the infantry phalanx of the Ming army, as much as possible in the Ming army's needle and thread to tear a hole.

"Meet the enemy~" The soldiers in the front row of the spearmen of the Ming army immediately knelt down on one knee, grasped the spear shaft with both hands, and pressed the spear shaft against the ground, pointing Xue Liang's sharp spearhead obliquely upward. The spearmen in the back leaned forward, gripped the shaft of the spear with his left hand, which he also pressed against the ground, while his right hand clenched the bayonet at his waist.

"Musketeers raise their guns~" The general flags of the Ming musketeers shouted in unison, although the Ming army was raided, but the orders were still carried out in an orderly manner.

"Fire~~"

呯~呯呯~呯.

As the Ming musketeers fired the first shot, hundreds of Jiannu ironclad cavalry fell on the way with their horses.

Haoge, who was stationed at a high place to watch the battle, saw that the Ming army reacted in such a short time, and couldn't help but praise: "There is no chaos in the face of a surprise attack, I have never seen such a Ming army~"

Sonny on the side was also dressed in military uniform, he nodded, and said, "No wonder this Song Nan barbarian can kill all the way from Jinzhou to Zhenjiang Fort!" It's a pity~~ He can only go so far~"

"Huh?" Sonny looked at the entire battlefield, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister has found the seven inches of the Southern Barbarian~"

"Don't stop the mortar~~" Michelle, the commander of the artillery battalion, looked nervously with a sword in one hand and a telescope in the other.

Boom~~ The flying thunder cannon, which Michelle called the mortar cannon, continued to fire more than 20 pounds of medicine packets, but it was still difficult to stop the offensive of the Jiannu cavalry.

It turned out that because the artillery battalion was walking relatively far behind the entire queue of the Ming army, it received the order to stop the advance half a beat late, so that there was a gap between it and the troops in front. This flaw was discovered by Sony, so a large number of Jiannu light and heavy cavalry were mobilized to launch a fierce attack on this weak point.

Jiannu's iron rush really achieved results, although the Ming army's Minne bullets continued to knock down, and the flesh and blood bombarded by the flying thunder flew sideways, but the steady stream of Jiannu iron horsemen rushed to kill selflessly with the heart of death burning jade, and a considerable number of iron horsemen evaded the firearms of the Ming army with great luck, with "hurry up ~ wow!" The shout was loaded into the spear array of the Ming army with men and horses.

The huge impact force was not something that could be stopped by manpower, and a small number of Jiannu cavalry even broke into the interior of the Ming army's camp and engaged in a fierce battle with the sword soldiers behind the spearmen. At the same time, Aobai and Sebent led a large group of infantry to reinforce it, intending to divide and surround the Ming army.

Seeing the occupation that was gradually gaining the upper hand, Haoge smiled proudly: "If you annihilate the firearms battalion of the Southern Barbarians, then the Southern Barbarians will become a cripple who cannot stand on his feet. Sony, it's really yours~"

Sony just smiled and bowed his head.

On Song Youliang's side, the occupation was still beneficial to the Ming army, and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry charged the formation several times, but they were repelled by dense muskets, flying thunder cannons, and grenades, and nothing was found except for the corpses in one place. Subsequently, Jiannu adjusted his tactics and ran out of the light cavalry to swim around the Ming army's line, shooting at the Ming army with bows and arrows. However, because they did not dare to get too close to the Ming formation, these arrows shot from afar could only be hung on the bodies of the Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor and well-made robes, and did not cause much damage. Some soldiers even had three arrows hanging on their bodies, but they were still able to stand.

"Mounted archery? Pediatric tricks ~~ Once I have a solid defense and a range advantage in muskets, mounted shooting? can only be synonymous with backwardness~" Song Youliang was proud, and suddenly Gu Junen, who was closest to the artillery battalion, sent someone to report, saying that a large number of Jiannu's cavalry and infantry were flocking to the gap between him and the artillery battalion, and the artillery battalion was also being besieged by the Jiannu army.

"Not good~~" Song Youliang shouted, then pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist and shouted: "Guan Yunbao, Zhang Feixiong, come with me~~"

Guan Yunbao was stunned, since he followed Song Youliang, he had never seen Song Youliang draw his knife out of the sheath and go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and his blood boiled inexplicably for a while. felt the same as him, as well as Zhang Feixiong and Song Youliang's 3,000 personal soldiers. Since they were selected and selected into Song Youliang's pro-military camp, they have been trained with big fish and meat every day. Other than that, he was acting as Song Youliang's honor guard, and today there is finally a battle to fight.

Just as Starbucks fought against the Roman legions, he always used his Roman short sword to cut out piles of corpses that looked like hills around him; Another example is the ancient Chinese hussar general Huo Quai, when he was besieged by the Huns, he also had to personally ride his horse and roar, rush into battle, and behead several enemy leaders in a row, so as to boost morale and turn defeat into victory; Another example is that Li Rusong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty who later fought a decisive battle with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Korea, was overturned by a Japanese bombardment, jumped up in the exclamation of everyone, grabbed the horse and rushed into battle again. Great! Otherwise, he cannot be called a hero of wisdom and courage.

Today, Song Youliang wants to be such a hero of the world.

"Kill~~~" Song Youliang handed over the command of this place to Li Xin, and then he raised the Yanling knife high, and whipped the war horse under his crotch fiercely, and called ~~~ The war horse under the crotch neighed, and then spread its four hooves and galloped southward. The three thousand soldiers behind him also raised a trail of dust like a dragon, closely rallied around Song Youliang, and pounced in the direction of the artillery battalion like a loaded bullet.

"Kill, kill, kill~~" The tall Michelle was wearing plate armor and knocked a Jiannu soldier to the ground with one punch, and before the Jiannu soldier could get up, the bayonet sword in Michelle's hand had pierced the cotton armor on the Jiannu soldier's body and nailed him firmly to the ground.

"God is with me~~" Michelle shouted loudly, looking around, the front of the artillery battalion had been completely crushed. Even the musketeers gave their muskets bayonets and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with Kennu.

Listening with bated breath, the voice in his ears was full of the roar of Jiannu, which Michelle didn't understand.

The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood penetrated Michelle's nose, and his already sore arm made Michelle feel that killing every enemy seemed like an incompetent task.

"&......%¥" A Jiannu soldier shouted in Jiannu language that Michelle couldn't understand and brandished a mace at Michelle, panting Michelle turned around, clamped the mace with his armpit, and threw Najiannu aside forcefully against Najiannu's body, and at the moment when the left half of Jiannu's body opened outward due to inertia, the bayonet sword in Michelle's right hand stabbed into Najiannu's left chest.

"Ah~~" The Jiannu monster roared, holding Michelle's wrist with both hands, and Michelle, who was already exhausted, struggled twice and couldn't break free. It's too late, it's too fast~~ Just when Michelle wanted to break free of his wrist for the third time, another mace smashed down hard~~~

Boom

"~~~Ah~~~~" Michelle screamed, the right hand protected by armor bent unnaturally, and before Michelle could react, a big foot kicked the other over fiercely.

Michelle fell on his back in the pile of corpses, and through the gap in his helmet, he saw a Jiannu who was as tall as a black bear raising his mace high and aimed it at his head, "God~~ Will I die here?" The sharp pain in her right hand made Michelle gasp for breath but unable to speak.

"Portugal, I'm back~" Michelle was about to close her eyes and wait for death, when she suddenly saw a cold light flash through the gap in her helmet, and Jiannu's hands holding maces fell on her chest.

"Woo~~" The Jiannu raised two severed arms and let out a strange scream.

"Let's die~" Michelle used his last strength to grab a broken spear on the ground, jumped up and stabbed Na Jiannu's throat violently, and then fell back to the pile of corpses. Michelle lifted the shield of the helmet with his left hand and drew a cross on his chest with his left hand, "God ~~ It was God who saved me ~~ I praise you a thousand times ~~"

"Huh~~" A war horse stopped beside him, and the man immediately smiled: "What, do I look like God?" ”
