Chapter 127: The Beginning of the War
"Whew"
The desolate and majestic sound of the horn resounded throughout the field, and the 40,000 Jurchen army, like an endless black felt carpet, slowly swept towards Tieling with the momentum of devouring everything.
Although Ye Xun hopes that this day will not come, it will always come.
Outside the earthen fort of the first line of defense in Tieling, Ye Xun held a huge banner in his hand, standing alone on a mound of dirt.
Although it was not the first time that Ye Xun had faced so many Jurchen armies alone, to be honest, his legs and stomach were still shaking at the moment.
It's false to say that you are not afraid, in fact, many heroes are like him, they are forced out by current events, if so many enemies rush up, let alone fight, even if one person spits at the mouth, he can drown him.
In reality, it is so strange, Ye Xun, who was still a little nervous, as the Jurchen army approached, his heartbeat did not speed up, and his legs did not tremble.
There is nothing special about the big flag next to Ye Xun, but the words on it are more conspicuous.
"Nurhachi died here"
Under Tieling City, he is the most elite foot soldier of the Five Thousand Tieling, and the main reason why Ye Xun did not choose to fight with cavalry is that the periphery of Tieling is no longer suitable for cavalry battlefields, and at the same time, foot combat is not the strength of the Jurchens, so Ye Xun will take a risk.
The most unexpected thing is that at the forefront of the 5,000-strong army, there are actually a hundred green forest heroes led by Sun Dong.
And at this moment, with the approach of the Jurchen army, this group of heroes is really going to pee their pants.
These people are all good players urgently transferred by Xu Hongru, and it is not a problem to fight alone, but no one has ever faced such a formation, and tens of thousands of murderous people have pressed over, for them who have never been on the real battlefield, they have not turned around and ran, which is already worthy of the word hero.
In fact, including Sun Dong, he already vaguely felt that Ye Xun was guarding them, because the bows and crossbows of the Ming army behind were aimed at them at the moment, and it was conceivable that once someone made a move to escape, they would immediately be shot into a hedgehog.
Therefore, although Sun Dong and the others had greeted Xu Hongru and the women of Ye Xun's family countless times in their hearts, no one dared to move.
Xu Hongru, who was standing at the head of the city, obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to arrange such a good man who came to help him.
"This little eunuch is simply not human, and he can do such a shameless thing, and he is really in vain."
Although he has not been so angry that he has a myocardial infarction, he will definitely not be able to run away from the heart attack, but at this time, no matter who comes, he cannot be transferred back to his subordinates.
Nurhachi, who was marching, also saw Ye Xun who was still chattering, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a sneer, do you still want to use this method to scare Lao Tzu?
Turning his head to Huang Taiji, he gave a few orders, and then listened to Huang Taiji's order, and about a Niu Lu's Jurchen iron horse galloped out.
When the iron hooves flew over, the Jurchen soldiers almost simultaneously drew their bows and arrows, and then aimed at Ye Xun and threw them over, followed by the second and third rounds.
The Jurchens have always been a nation on horseback, and this kind of continuous shooting between the gallops of war horses is simply too pediatric for them.
Ye Xun didn't seem to expect the Jurchens to have such a hand, before the first round of arrow rain fell, he had already flown back, and then jumped onto the earthen wall outside the earthen fort, shouting in the direction of Nurhachi's banner: "Old slave, isn't it good to go home and live for a few more years?" Why do you have to rush to death? ”
Before Ye Xun's words fell, the Jurchen iron horsemen who had shot arrows at him just now fell off their horses one after another with the neighing of the war horses under their crotches.
Ye Xun knew that this must be those traps and thistles that worked, but it was really unsatisfactory to only hurt so many people, fortunately, there was a backhand.
At this time, Nurhachi also saw the changes in the soldiers in front of him, and after a little pondering, he understood what was going on.
Today, Nurhachi is determined to set foot on Tieling, so all the plans are ready.
He turned his head again to gesture to Daizen, and he raised his hand in the air.
With Nurhachi's gesture, the Jurchen army, which had been moving, slowly stopped.
Dai Shan had just escaped death, and it was the moment when he was in a hurry to show that he immediately sent a team of his men to walk forward and began to search for obstacles on the ground.
Nurhachi's eyes kept staring at Ye Xun, although the distance was a little far, he seemed to have seen Ye Xun's disappointed expression.
I thought you had some ability to reach the sky, but that's not it.
"Dai Shan, pass the word to Ye Xun, tie your hands, you can protect the soldiers and civilians of Tieling as soon as they die, otherwise when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left"
"Huh!"
The messenger who delivered the message quickly brought the message to Ye Xun, and from a long distance, Nurhachi could also see Ye Xun's still stubborn expression, and said angrily: "After clearing the road, the forehead will also go up, and you can't take Tieling, come and see you."
"Huh!"
Eyidu is known as the first warrior of the Jurchens, and Baduli, who was beaten to death by Ye Xun before, has to be obedient like a good grandson in front of Eyidu.
Last time, due to some special reasons, he didn't come to Tieling with Nurhachi, and this is what he has always regretted, so no matter how others praise Ye Xun, he doesn't believe it, and at the same time, he is ready to fight with Ye Xun.
Nurhachi's order can be said to be in the right place, and the battle of Eyidu also indicates that Nurhachi's most elite Zhenghuang Banner Guards will fight together, which shows that Nurhachi has the heart of victory in this battle.
Looking at the Jurchen soldiers who calmly cleared the obstacles in front of him, Ye Xun was also very helpless, he also wanted to send troops to eliminate these Jurchen soldiers, but he didn't have so many soldiers!
Although it took a long time to clear the obstacles, when it was finally completed, seeing that the soldiers had cleared under the earthen walls of the earthen fort, Nurhachi nodded at Eyidu.
The forehead, who had already gathered enough strength, roared, his legs were slightly forced, he danced the big knife, and rushed in the direction of Ye Xun in the first place.
Behind Yidu is the five thousand elite Yellow Flag Iron Cavalry.
This time, Nurhachi will not give Ye Xun a chance to breathe, if the five thousand is not enough, he will come back with another five, and if it doesn't work, he will come back, when to take Tieling and when to stop, and before the war, Nurhachi has promised the whole army that if Tieling is defeated, all the property in the city will be rewarded to the soldiers, and it is precisely with this kind of perverted reward that the confidence to be scared back by Ye Xun has been reinvigorated.
The war horse galloped, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived at the mound where Ye Xun had just stood, although Ye Xun retreated, the big flag that said Nurhachi died here was still planted there.
Eyi had already seen that this banner was not pleasing to the eye, and while the war horse galloped past, he stretched out his hand and pulled up the banner and threw it on the ground, and then continued to run forward without stopping.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle behind, suddenly had a bad feeling, Ye Xun knew him, why didn't he know Ye Xun?
Although it is not the first time, Ye Xun was not so flamboyant last time, although I don't know what this flag is for, it will never be so simple.
At this moment, Huang Taiji and many people around him smelled a familiar smell
