Text 219.The Battle of Yunnan (16)
Behind the archers was a large array of 20,000 infantry, and the infantry was waiting for a large formation, all the soldiers held their weapons tightly, waiting for the general's orders at any time, and plunged into this uncertain war.
The small boats of the Ming army had already crossed the center of the river, getting closer and closer to the south bank, and the sweat drops of the archers were getting more and more, and even the hands of some archers had begun to tremble. The generals were also nervous, they stared at the ships of the Ming army, estimated the distance between the boat and the river bank, and when it was about two hundred paces, a Mongolian general gave an order to "raise the bow" and "raise the bow". All the archers raised their bows diagonally upwards.
The archers had just raised their bows, and were still waiting for the commander's order to release the arrows, when they heard a very familiar voice, and oh my God, the opposite side had shot arrows before them, and it was a large number of arrows.
"Squat, squat......," an older archer shouted, and before he could crouch down, a crossbow bolt struck him in the shoulder, and the archer fell to the ground in pain. At the same time, the archers around him also fell in rows, and the screams quickly reached the ears of all the defenders on the south bank.
As a row of gunfire came into their ears, more Yuan archers fell to the ground, and more and more archers who were forced to move forward by the rear overseers also fell, and the beachhead on the south bank became a large slaughterhouse. Blood, wailing, bows and arrows discarded at random, and officers who couldn't control the situation and even ran away first.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Darima panicked, frightened, and even more frightened, and he kept giving orders: "Don't retreat, those who take a step back will be treated as deserters and correct the law on the spot." ”
But his military orders could not change the situation on the battlefield at all, and in the face of the long-range crossbow arrows fired by the Ming army from small boats, no archers dared to approach the beachhead, and, as the ships got closer and closer to the shore, another round of crossbow arrows flew over. Originally, some archers who were not injured and retreated dozens of paces, and those who thought they were safe for the time being, also entered the killing range of the Beiping crossbow.
The archers of the Yuan army finally discovered the thing that made them completely desperate, the other party was more than two hundred steps away from them, far from the range of their own bows and arrows, but the crossbow arrows shot by the other party were far away and deadly, and the casualties of the archers on the shore were getting bigger and bigger. In a few moments, thousands of archers were killed or wounded, and the shore became a shooting range for the Ming army's crossbow arrows and firearms.
In this way, as the Ming ships approached the shore, the Yuan army was forced to retreat backwards into a wide open space with a length of several hundred paces, and the Ming ships easily approached the shore without hindrance, and the soldiers on the boat and the bamboo raft jumped out of the boat without any threat and waded through the water to the shore.
The Beiping crossbow and the firearm showed their might, Fu Youde on the north shore was very excited, he rubbed his hands excitedly and quickly, and stared at the situation on the other side without blinking: "Zhu Di, this kid's thing is really powerful, thanks to this treasure, I have fewer deaths and injuries." ”
Zhang Yu, who had just landed on the shore, ordered: "All stay on the shore, no one is allowed to take the initiative to attack, save crossbow arrows and gunpowder, and they will not release arrows if they do not come close to us." ”
Darima is really in a hurry, the ships of the Ming army have already returned to the north shore, if they let them transport troops over,
If there were more of these powerful crossbow arrows and firebolts behind them, he would be completely finished, and he ordered loudly to the flower mushrooms on the side: "You bring people up, we have tens of thousands of people here, and they only have about a thousand people, take advantage of their unstable foothold, rush up, and crush them to death." ”
Seeing that Hua Shiitake didn't answer the order and didn't speak, just blindly lowered his head and looked at the ground, Darima was furious, but he was still a little sensible, knowing that Hua Shiitake was afraid of death, so he made a wish: "I'll promote you to two levels, oh, not three levels, you will go now." ”
Wanhu Hua Shiitake mushroom, who lowered his head, was overjoyed when he heard Darima's wish, but he still didn't want to accept the order, his idea was very simple, it doesn't matter if you are promoted to two or three levels, tens of thousands of people rush at the same time and have a fart, even if there is an official, you have to have a life to enjoy it.
Seeing that the flower mushroom was still indifferent, Dari Ma was angry, pulled out his sword and pointed at the flower mushroom: "You can't get on, if you don't get up, I'll cut you down now." ”
Hua Shiitake had no choice but to go, reluctantly gathered 5,000 men and horses, and rubbed in the direction of the Ming army on the beachhead. As soon as Zhang Yu saw that the Yuan army had dispatched a large group of men, he calmly raised his hand high.
At this moment, more than 1,000 soldiers who came ashore had already set up their formations, staring at the Yuan army nervously and vigilantly, everyone was tense, their eyes were on fire, and they were ready to fight to the death for the Yuan army.
Looking at the Yuan army's side again, Hua Shiitake knew that the Ming army's crossbow arrows were powerful, and the killing range of the bow and arrow was twice as large, so at a distance of three hundred steps, Hua Shiitake no longer moved forward, he pretended to be calm and pointed at the Ming army with the tip of his knife, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, charge me." ”
There was no expected earth-shattering shouting and killing, there was no momentum of the whole army hating the enemy, and no one even charged to the position of the Ming army.
Five thousand men and horses, frightened and cowered by the Ming army of only one thousand, this is really unheard of and unseen. Seeing that his subordinates were so cowardly, even the greedy and fearful flower mushroom turned pale with anger, he raised the knife again, and he didn't know where he got the courage, striding forward, shouting as he walked: "Brothers, if you repel the Ming army, everyone will be rewarded." ”
Before Hua Shiitake could finish speaking, he heard a series of gunshots coming from the opposite side, and the frightened Hua Shiitake subconsciously squatted down, but his body didn't listen to the call of the brain, and he was about to squat, but he didn't expect it to become a whole body leaning back, at the same time, a sharp pain in his chest came, it's over, he was shot, Hua Shiitake knew that he had been hit, but he couldn't see his chest anymore, because his chest had been hit by projectiles.
Hua shiitake mushroom did not see, one hundred and ten fire guns fired at the same time, immediately dozens of Yuan soldiers fell, the gunfire just stopped, rows of crossbow arrows flew over, in the fire salvo of the spared front row of Yuan soldiers, and was cleaned by the crossbow arrows again, hundreds of soldiers fell down again, this time, the morale of the Yuan army was completely crushed, the soldiers who were originally very afraid of the Beiping crossbow and fire guns no longer dared to move forward, no matter how loudly the officers behind the war shouted restraint, it was difficult to stop the desperate pawns, in the blink of an eye, The Yuan army retreated like a tide.
Zhang Yu raised his hand again: "Stop, stay put, save crossbow arrows." ”
In this way, the Ming army of 1,000 people, facing the 5,000 yuan army, effortlessly withstood the first wave and stood firm on the beachhead
Heel.
5,000 people were defeated by 1,000 people, Dari, who was supervising the battle in the rear, gritted his teeth angrily, kicked the stirrup fiercely, beat the horse forward, faced the soldiers who fled backwards, cut down five people in one go, and at the same time ordered his own soldiers: "If there are any more retreaters, they will not be forgiven." Darima's pro-soldiers were also extremely brave, and they cut down more than 100 people in a row, which stopped the momentum of the rout of the Yuan army.
Darima knew that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, and this time he personally went into battle, transferred more than 10,000 soldiers, and personally deployed, and 10,000 people completed the encirclement of the Ming army on the beachhead from the east, west and south. In order to boost morale, this time Darima offered a high bounty, killing a firecracker or crossbowman with a reward of 1,000 silver, and capturing a firebolt or crossbow with a reward of 2,000 silver.
Under the heavy reward, there are brave men, and under the encouragement of the heavy reward, many soldiers of the Yuan army are eager to try, and the killing intent is permeated in the Yuan army for the first time. Darima stared at the open space where the Ming army was located with red eyes, I have 10,000 people, even if I step on it, I will also trample you to death.
Darima gave an order, and 10,000 troops rushed up to Zhang Yu from three directions at the same time, and at this time, the first few ships transporting the second wave of Ming army landing were also about to land on the beach. Zhang Yu knew that even if all the second wave of reinforcements landed, it would be less than 2,500 people, and compared with the Yuan army, the Ming army on the beachhead was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.
Zhang Yu was not alarmed, he decisively divided the Feiyu battalion into two, and distributed half of the Beiping crossbows and firecrackers on the east and west sides, and behind the crossbow arrows and firearms, he drew out 600 people from the second wave of reinforcements that landed on the shore, and arranged 300 infantry on the east and west sides respectively to protect the Feiyu battalion in close quarters. In the front, Zhang Yu stood in the front row and personally led more than 1,000 infantry to meet the Yuan army head-on.
The Yuan army began to attack, there were thousands of Yuan troops in the front, the black pressure was pressing, looking at the past, a huge sense of depression was coming, thousands of people moved forward at the same time, for a while the armor mountain sounded, swords and guns were numerous, quite a murderous atmosphere, every few steps forward, the Yuan army paused slightly, in order to adjust the marching formation.
The large array of thousands of people roared like a black giant wave towards the Ming army, and although the Ming army had few troops, its momentum was not low, and under the leadership of Zhang Yu, another high-spirited huge wave greeted it.
The two fronts are like two huge waves coming from each other, the waves are wrapped in countless splashes, tumbling forward, surging afraid of hitting the earth, finally, the two huge waves collided, the two sides of the front violently and rapidly collided, crossed, and finally blended together, finally, the waves disappeared, the water splashed together, and it was impossible to distinguish which drop of water was brought by which wave.
The soldiers in the front row fought hand-to-hand combat, swords collided, armor and shields were staggered, once they fell, the soldiers behind immediately made up for it, and the war became a pure war of attrition. At this point, the carefully selected Ming army had the upper hand, these brave Ming soldiers, who had crossed the river with the determination to die, had no way to retreat at this moment, and they fought desperately, and the man's bloody nature burst out at this moment, exerting amazing strength.
In the fierce battle of the crowd, a figure is particularly eye-catching, he is not in the Ming army line, but jumped into the back row of the Yuan army formation, before the landing, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, cut off the heads of the three Yuan army.
