Text 214.The Battle of Yunnan (11)

Throughout the ages, no matter which dynasty or generation, it is a first-class beauty difference and fertilizer difference that is responsible for the supply of grain and grass for backup, and Liu Chenyu can get such a beauty difference, it stands to reason that it is too late to be happy. But Liu Chenyu, who has won the beauty difference, is really not happy, for no other reason: there is going to be a war. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming court arrived as long as the Ming army came, and these stone forts on the north bank could not be held anyway, even if the Ming army did not fight, the defenders were surrounded to death. Therefore, Liu Chenyu has already begun to think about the way back from the moment he received the errand, and Liu Chenyu has already calculated at this time, and will return to the south bank in the name of personally urging the grain and grass to return to the south bank early tomorrow morning, and will no longer cross the river to the north bank when he goes back.

Just when Liu Chenyu was waiting for the dawn, there was a sudden chaos outside, and Liu Chenyu clearly heard the soldiers outside shouting "Come in", "Run", "Don't kill me, I'm not a Mongolian." The shouting and killing sound in the distance immediately faintly came in, Liu Chenyu chuckled in his heart, it's over, the Ming army came over at night, and he was still a step late. Fortunately, he was prepared, and he took off the armor on his body in a hurry, threw it on the ground, and turned out an ordinary soldier's clothes that had been prepared from under the bed, put them on his body as quickly as possible, and did not go out from the front of the big tent, took out a dagger, cut a hole behind the big tent, and drilled out along the hole.

At this time, the Ming army had already rushed into the camp, and the cavalry galloped through the camp brandishing eyebrow sharp knives, shouting: "Put down your weapons and avoid death." "As long as there is a Yuan soldier who resists or even does not put down his weapons, one or even several knights immediately rush forward at the same time, and there is even a situation where the same Mongolian soldier is slashed twice by two Ming knights in a row. But after all, this situation is a minority, most of the officers and soldiers in the army are Han Chinese, they are not willing to die for the Mongols, some people have not waited for the Ming army to shout, they threw their weapons far away, and then honestly squatted on the ground motionless, and even more, some also took the initiative to indicate the direction for the Ming army: "There are Mongols over there", "The big tent behind is the main general", "No, I just saw the surname Liu running to the east, go and chase it." ”

On the one hand, there was the elite of the Ming army whose morale was booming and who were bent on killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and on the other hand, there was a tired division that had no will to fight and even defected to the battle, needless to say, they also knew that they had won or lost, and the battlefield situation was not confrontational at all, it was completely a one-sided situation, and the Ming army captured most of the camp without paying any casualties.

But this was not the whole story of the battle, because although the army stationed at the crossing was mainly Han Chinese, there were still several hundred Mongols, who refused to surrender, and under the command of several junior Mongol officers, these Mongol soldiers took up arms, formed a simple formation, and still tried to resist.

Zhang Yu didn't talk nonsense: "Fence them up and let Feiyu camp." ”

Zhang Yu gave an order, more than 200 people of the Feiyu battalion immediately pulled up, Zhang Yu only waved his hand slightly, all the soldiers of the Feiyu battalion dismounted, and then unfolded the formation, only to see more than 200 soldiers in a row of 112 people, front and back lined up in two rows, each soldier is a step away from the horizontal interval, this distance is determined after repeated exercises by Yao Guangqi and Zhang Yu before, not far and not close is just right, the reason why this distance was chosen is because the soldiers in the second row can calmly step forward from the gap of this step, When the soldiers in the first row finished shooting

Or after the Beiping crossbow, only need to take a small half step back, and the soldiers in the back row take a big step forward at the same time, the back row naturally becomes the front row, the front row can complete the position swap in a blink of an eye, the front row of soldiers released the fire gun and crossbow arrows again, the soldiers in the back row also put on the crossbow arrows and gunpowder projectiles, according to the previous method, complete the front and rear row position swap again, and so on, it has become a positional war to attack the enemy's shrinking formation formation.

The Flying Feather Battalion lined up in formation, and there was a general flag standing at each end of each platoon, responsible for controlling the rhythm, restraining the formation and giving orders to advance and retreat, and every ten people stood a small flag officer, who was responsible for shouting to the general flag to report the equipment consumption and loading progress of the ten soldiers under his command, and all the small flag officers would give orders to advance and retreat after the completion of the report in order.

Due to the small battle formation formed by the Mongols, and the single row of the Flying Feather Battalion spread out on a large surface, from the perspective of mid-air, the Flying Feather Battalion was not neatly lined up, but pressed up in a crescent shape. The wide queue slowly pressed over, the Mongols were extremely nervous, these Mongols had not been on the battlefield for many years, and they were good at acting on weekdays, but when they really faced the moment of life and death, they were all scared into a cold sweat, and some even began to tremble in their legs, and they almost stood unsteadily.

With the two chief flag officers shouting at the same time, more than 100 guns fired at the same time, although the chief flag officer ordered at the same time, but the sound of the guns came first, and some of them sounded at the same time, the Ming soldiers heard the sound of gunpowder explosion of different sizes, and the ears of the nearby Ming soldiers were buzzing with the sound of several simultaneous gunshots.

At almost the same time as the gunshots were heard, thirty or forty Mongols fell on the opposite side, but not all of these fallen Mongols were hit by projectiles, and some of them fainted in fright after hearing the sound.

As soon as the fire gun was released, with the order of the two chief flag officers, the soldiers of the fire gun platoon in the front row automatically retreated half a step, and when the ears of the Ming army close to it were still buzzing in the ears, only to hear the two general flags in the back row shouting almost at the same time: "Take a step forward, raise the crossbow, release!" After a series of orders, I saw the crossbowmen aiming at the Mongol soldiers in front of them with their Beiping crossbows.

Rows of crossbow arrows flew in the direction of the Mongols, although the shields of the Mongols blocked some of the crossbow arrows, but some of them were shot in the shoulder or leg, more and more Mongols fell, and after falling, there was no one behind to fill the vacancy, and the simple formation of the Mongols was disrupted.

Fortunately, at this time, the crossbow arrows of the Beiping crossbow were shot, and the front and rear wheels changed positions. In this interval, I don't know whether it was madness caused by heavy pressure, or I wanted to fight to the death, a Mongolian suddenly screamed and rushed out of the team, rushing towards the front of the Flying Feather Battalion, driven by this person, more Mongolians rushed out, croaking and rushing towards the Flying Feather Battalion, the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion were not panicked, the general flag calmly commanded the front and rear rows to rotate, "put" the two general flags at the same time issued the order to open fire, all of them, the first round was over, twenty or thirty Mongolians fell, but some Mongolians have seen the way, Knowing that the next must be a gap in the rotation of the firearm platoon and the crossbow arrow platoon, to say that the Mongols were really brave when they had no way to retreat from the battle, and they continued to rush forward regardless of the people around them falling to the ground and wailing. But Mon

The ancients didn't expect that because the Beiping crossbow was fired by the way of crossbow box loading, it was very simple to change the outfit, and only needed to replace a crossbow box full of crossbow arrows, so the front and rear rows each stepped forward to complete the position rotation at the same time, the Beiping crossbow was powerful again.

The Mongols felt despair, where is this charge, it is simply the initiative to embrace death, or simply a massacre, with the Beiping crossbows shot out in rows, the Mongols also fell down in rows like cutting crops, and the Beiping crossbows were released, and there were no more standing Mongols on the opposite side. At this moment, I don't know which Ming army soldiers shouted "good", with the cheers around one after another, there was a clear scene on the battlefield: the victorious Ming soldiers were cheering, the wounded Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground and wailed helplessly, and the Han soldiers who surrendered and squatted on the ground were sighing.

When the soldiers were cheering, Zhang Yu walked expressionlessly in front of a Mongolian wounded soldier, the Mongolian wounded soldier had two crossbow arrows in his body, respectively in the chest and abdomen, the blood had soaked his clothes and armor, he moaned weakly, although his expression was painful and weak, but from his eyes, Zhang Yu could see his strong desire to survive.

Zhang Yu coldly raised the eyebrow knife in his hand, cut off the person's head without hesitation, and then gritted his teeth and shouted: "There is no Mongolian wounded soldier left." ”

The soldiers of the Ming army stopped cheering, they returned to reality, raised their weapons again, and then listened to Zhang Yu's order: "After all the Mongol soldiers cut off the heads, leave two hundred people to take care of a hundred corpses, and throw them into the river early tomorrow morning, and the remaining Mongols will be tied up with ropes, supported behind the horses, and follow me." ”

The defenders in the three stone forts were frightened by the sound of fire and shouts of killing for a night, and they were also vigilant for a whole night, and the next morning, they were surprised to find an extremely frightening scene, hundreds of wooden stakes outside the stone fort overnight, hundreds of decapitated corpses were nailed to the stakes side by side, the scene was very terrifying.

One thing that made them even more stressed happened, they saw the smoke and dust in the north gradually rising, and the rumbling sound was faintly heard, and then they saw a black line appear on the skyline, the black line became thicker and thicker, and the rumbling sound became louder and louder. All the people at the head of the stone castle saw clearly, the eyes were clearly tens of thousands of troops, the army was pressed in a neat formation in the direction of the stone fort, and the sound of tens of thousands of soldiers walking was superimposed, slapping the earth, making a shocking roaring sound, as the sound became clearer and clearer, the sound revealed a thick murderous aura, shaking every defender on the head of the city.

The main general responsible for the guard of the stone fort on the north bank is called Yelu Liang, the ancestor is a Khitan, an official in the Mongolian army for generations, to Yelu Liang's father's generation, more than ten years ago due to the defeat in the Central Plains, his father retreated to Yunnan with the remnants of the army, defected to the king of Liang, under the command of the king of Liang, it should be said that Yelu Liang became a good general, since he followed his father to the king of Liang, the army of the king of Liang won several times in the battle with Ming Yuzhen and other red turban troops, Yelu Liang also rubbed a lot of achievements, all the way to be promoted to the general of Dingyuan, Qujing Road Xuanfu envoy, If it weren't for Darima patting King Liang's fart, the generalissimo who controlled Qujing's more than 100,000 horses at this moment should be this person, and the reason why Darima insisted on sending troops to the north bank to deploy defenses and sent Yelu Liang to garrison the stone fort was because he was jealous of Yelu Liang's military exploits and was afraid that he would not be able to control Yelu Liang.
