Chapter 72 Bloody
There were only four Mongol defenders at the north gate of Fuqiang Fort, who had long since fallen asleep against the city, and the explosion site was at the city gate, a little far from where they were sleeping, and the debris barely hurt their bodies.
But the shock wave from the explosion still caused them great damage, and almost at the same time as they heard the explosion, they had a ringing in their ears, and then they couldn't hear anything.
When the Ming army shouted the slogan of "kill the robbers" and began to seize the north gate, they were still cleaning their ears, whether it was temporary tinnitus or permanent tinnitus, it no longer mattered, the Ming soldiers held torches, and killed people dressed in Mongolian clothes.
More than 500 Ming troops, even if they stepped on the four terrified Mongolian soldiers, it would not take a quarter of an hour, and the soldiers who did not catch up with the opportunity behind could only spit on the corpses of the Mongols with hatred.
These four Mongolian soldiers just gave the Ming army the opportunity to sacrifice the knife, the blade dripping blood, and the people were also excited, even if the original two-legged soldiers were looking for Mongolian soldiers who could sacrifice the knife at the moment, the Han people liked to fight in groups, the bold leader, the timid followed behind and ran, and the courage was big, anyway, fighting and killing people was like that.
As soon as the blood was seen, the battle was over, and the tall image of the Mongol cavalry suddenly collapsed in their hearts, and without waiting for the officers to take the lead, they shouted the slogan "kill the robbers" one by one and rushed towards the fort.
According to the pre-war deployment, the soldiers of the five hundred households, under the guidance of their respective officers, were divided into five teams, two of which were killed to the east and west gates, and the remaining three teams were killed from three directions to the center of Fuqiang Fort, and finally converged at the south gate, just to kill Fuqiang Fort.
Li Guo's 100 households, the source of soldiers is very mixed, including the original garrison of Fuqiang Fort, who naturally knows the terrain and buildings in the fort well, and under their guidance, he directly killed the location of the barracks.
Since the Mongols occupied Fuqiang Fort, the Ming army failed to enter Fuqiang Fort for interrogation, and did not know anything about the Mongol garrison in the fort, but there was a ready-made military camp in the fort, and it was estimated that the main force of the Mongols would still be stationed, so Li Guo's hundred households were the main direction of attack of the whole army.
After Li Zicheng entered the city, he took his own personal soldiers and followed Li Guo to the position of the military camp.
The five-way army, basically holding a torch in the left hand and a short knife in the right hand, chanted the slogan "kill the robbers" all the way, and slaughtered in their respective directions to the center of Fuqiang Fort.
Bayar was originally dreaming of making a fortune, but the loud explosion shattered his dream, even in his dream, he didn't expect the Ming army to come to attack Fuqiang Fort, he sat up from the big bed, "What's the matter?" What is this sound and what is it? ”
The pro-soldier who accompanied him was also in a daze, he was rubbing the eye droppings in the corners of his eyes, "Lord Baihu, the message hasn't been sent yet, and we don't know what happened for the time being, maybe it's a thunderbolt, right?" ”
"How could the thunderbolt be so close? Why don't you send someone to investigate? Bayard had a premonition that the situation was not good, and when his soldiers left, he quickly climbed down from the big bed and held the scimitar at the head of the bed in his hand.
The soldiers hadn't come back yet, and he didn't have to come back to deliver the message.
Bayar had already heard the shouts of the Ming army, and although he didn't understand what "kill the robbers" meant, he could be sure that it must be the voice of the Han people, "It's not good, the Ming army has entered the city, hurry up and get on the war horse." ”
But at this time, Bayar did not have any personal soldiers by his side, and the military order could not be transmitted.
The Mongol soldiers gathered around Bayar, rubbing their eyes when they heard the loud explosion, trying to figure out what was happening, and the shouts of the Ming army made them realize what was happening.
Bayar burst out of his tent and shouted to the headless Mongol soldiers: "Don't be nervous, pick up your scimitar, get on your horse, and meet it quickly." He believed that once he found a horse, his warriors would remain invincible, and that the Mongols had grown up under the threat of death since childhood, and that even if they fought alone, they were no match for these sheep-like Han Chinese.
The speed of the Ming army is too fast, from the north gate to the position of the barracks, but more than two miles, Li Guo took the lead, and there were no Mongolian soldiers along the way, when they killed the barracks, the eyes of the Mongols had not yet been wiped clean, not to mention the war horses, it would be good to be able to touch the scimitar.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Bayar didn't care about leading the war horse, and directly raised the scimitar in his hand, "Warriors, even if you don't have a war horse, in front of the Han people, you are invincible, raise the scimitar in your hand, and cut off the heads of the Han people one by one, if anyone kills a Han man, Lord Ben will reward him with a Han girl, now, attack!" ”
If Bayar's soldiers had time to set up their bows and arrows, the Ming army would have suffered a wave of long-range blows, and the timid Ming army would not even dare to step forward, although they were wearing Mingguang armor, it was impossible to block the Mongols' bows and arrows so close.
There was too little time left for the Mongol soldiers, they could only pick up the most familiar scimitars that were placed at the bedside every night, because the time of waking was different, they could not line up, and could only rely on their usual courage to kill the Ming army on the opposite side one by one in the form of individual soldiers.
The Mongols have been trained in the art of killing since childhood, and they react extremely quickly to the enemy, even if they encounter a sudden attack, even if they lose their horses, and they lose their long-range striking weapons bows and arrows, as long as they still have scimitars in their hands.
Attacked by the Ming army at night, they had to fight with their backs, and their scimitars drew the most reasonable arc, expecting to rely on the advantage of strength to suppress the black and suppressed Ming army.
Although this group of Ming troops is a long-lost division, they have just stepped on four Mongolian ants at the north gate, and the blade has seen blood, relying on the advantage of numbers at this moment, they will naturally not retreat, no matter what kind of blade they hold in their hands, they will only attack and not defend, and completely hand over the defense to Mingguang armor.
They take the small flag as a unit, as long as they face the Mongols, all kinds of blades are stabbed out almost at the same time, completely ignoring the scimitars in the hands of the Mongols, just like the Mongols on the opposite side are already puppets, as for whether the Mongols can completely dodge their swords and guns, it depends on whether the Immortal Heaven can favor these Mongols.
The two torrents collided fiercely in the training ground of Fuqiang Fort.
The Mongols had excellent swordsmanship and an advantage in strength, and as long as the scimitar struck, he rarely missed, but at the same time, more short knives and spears would also hit his face, chest, or waist and abdomen.
This is a war of attrition, the two sides are desperate as soon as they get on the field, under the leadership of Li Guo, the Ming army is fighting on the one hand, and on the other hand, they keep shouting the slogan of unity.
The Ming army has been sparse for a long time, and the experience of facing the enemy is not as good as that of the Mongols, or rather, their only experience on the battlefield is to escape, but now it is night, the torches cannot shine at all corners, and no one cares about the casualties on both sides, and their only mind is to repel the enemy.
The wounded soldiers let out a desperate howl, but in such a fierce battle, the soldiers had no time to care, and no one could tell which side of the soldiers were wailing, they were all stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and the Ming army rarely forgot to escape.
Rush, fall, slogan.
It's all familiar, mechanical movements that barely go through the brain.
"Kill the robbers!" The three characters have now become three Chinese characters that have no meaning, but it is these three Chinese characters that arouse their bloody nature that they haven't seen for a long time.
More than 100 Ming troops, against dozens of Mongolian soldiers who rushed into battle, were able to stand undefeated.
It was so dark that the torches could only shine in the air, and the casualties on the ground could not be seen clearly.
The Ming army fought collectively, ten small flags attacked from different directions, some people fell, but the remaining soldiers repeated the same assassination action, the Mongols mainly fought alone, one person fell, and someone immediately replenished, they wanted to keep their big tent for no reason, maybe to prove to the Ming army that they were strong, and the self-confidence lost in front of the Jurchens needed to be found in the Ming army.
Bayar is rushing and killing, and while waiting, as long as the morale of the Ming army is exhausted, they will run away as before, and then chase the back of the Ming army and slash the Ming army like sheep.
Li Zicheng wanted to rush forward several times, but was hugged by Ma Youshui, "My lord, the front is dark, I don't distinguish between the enemy and me, my lord is the chief general of the whole army, once he is injured, the military spirit that he has accumulated with great difficulty will definitely be frustrated, and now it is a stalemate, and we may not be defeated." ”
"However, the battle is so stalemate, I'm worried about ......" Li Zicheng really has no bottom in his heart about the combat effectiveness of these soldiers.
"My lord, my lord, the other two hundred households have arrived!" He Mi shouted excitedly.
Li Zicheng listened carefully, and sure enough, the sound of "killing robbers" came from both sides, although the slogan was not very neat, but at night, on the stalemate battlefield, it had a great impact on the hearts of both sides.
Shouting slogans like this, you will completely expose your position, but today is different, the Mongols are dozens of people, there are no reinforcements, and the Ming army is the first time to formally face the enemy, this relatively neat slogan, not only gives them courage, but also makes them have no time to think for the time being, there is no fear without thinking.
Li Zicheng's spear could not directly face the enemy, but it could not prevent him from encouraging the soldiers, knowing that victory was in sight, he shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, rush, kill the robbers!" ”
"Kill the robbers!" The soldiers who were rushing to kill, under the leadership of Li Guo, responded neatly.
In the flickering firelight, the soldiers couldn't see each other's clothes clearly, the only evidence above the enemy and the enemy was the torch in the hands of the Ming army, the Ming soldiers were mostly short knives, often with torches in their left hands and knives in their right hands.
"Kill the robbers!" The shouts of the Ming army became more and more vigorous, and with the addition of reinforcements from two directions, the Ming army began to break through to the Mongols' tent from three directions, and the balance that had been maintained was instantly broken.
"Hundreds of households, there are too many Ming troops, except for the reinforcements that joined just now, listen, there are also the shouts of the Ming army at the east and west city gates." A soldier rode to Bayar's side, leading an ownerless horse in his hand.
