Text Chapter 27 Desperate Survival (Part II)
The battle had reached such an extent that Bohur felt that he was about to go mad. The most elite warriors of the three hundred tribes could not bear the siege of the fortress defended by just over fifty people for a long time, and it was not until he paid the price of nearly half of the casualties that he could not bear it in any case.
These horses are the foundation of his ability to stand on the grassland, and now more than a hundred people have been lost, as if they are cutting his flesh and blood. Even if he really builds the fortress this time and captures Tana and the others to make a contribution, I am afraid that he will lose the trust of the Great Khan of Boyan in the grassland where he speaks with his own strength.
But now, he has become a tiger. After paying such a tragic price, if he couldn't take this earthen fort and capture the people of the Ganta Su Division, he would really have no face to go back. Therefore, outside the fort, he kept urging his soldiers to continue to rush upward, desperately trying to take the head of the city and kill it inside.
In the end, even he, the chief general of the army, had rushed to the bottom of the fortress wall with his sword, and climbed up the rope as fast as he could. When he came to the wall smoothly and looked down, a scene that made him stunned happened to come into view-
On the stone steps extending down from the head of the city, the soldiers and horses of the two sides have been fighting together, and the four Mongolian soldiers who are below and can go down directly actually did not rush towards the few three enemies as expected in this situation, but after a period of hesitation, they suddenly turned around and killed the Ming army who was rushing down with all their might.
How so? For a moment, Bohur was completely stunned, completely unable to figure out what the warriors of these clans were thinking. If he was in it, he would definitely be furious at this time, and even personally wielded a knife to kill these cowardly cowards on the spot.
In fact, these people didn't need to be executed by him, the main general, because they were already brave in the face of the situation of attacking up and down, they only struggled slightly, and they were cut down by the Ming soldiers who were killed from above, and died on the stone steps in an instant.
After seeing this situation, the Mongolian people who were even more above were even more furious, and they howled one after another, raising the knife in their hands and killing down as fast as they could. At this time, the remnants of these Ming troops had successfully converged with Yang Chen and them, and then turned around again to face those hideous enemies.
It wasn't until a new round of battle broke out that Bo Huer, who had already reached the top of the stone steps, faintly understood why the four clansmen had made such a counterintuitive choice, and he finally saw Yang Chen's power.
Yang Chen, who had also been released, roared after meeting the defenders: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me!" Then, he snatched it from them and went directly to the Mongolian people who had been killed.
At the moment when the two sides met, he had already held the knife in both hands, and swept it horizontally, only this knife, the three fastest Mongolian people were directly disemboweled, and then his body pounced forward, and with a movement of his wrist, he stabbed the fourth enemy under him.
In just an instant, he killed four people in a row! This kind of terrifying means, like the arrival of a killing god, frightened these brave and warlike Mongolian warriors a lot. They rushed down quickly, and even the people at the front subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to get any closer.
What is called one person in charge, what is called Yongguan three armies, at this time, Yang Chen really performed in front of everyone. And after seeing his heroic performance, the defenders, who had already broken their hearts, suddenly came to the fighting spirit, and even shouted loudly and followed his footsteps to rush towards the enemy who was more than ten times larger. Looking at their gritted teeth and murderous appearances, it was as if they really had the intention of swallowing more than 100 Mongolian warriors above in one bite.
The soul of the soldier, this sentence is indeed true. When there is a brave and warlike general who is in front of him to set an example and lead everyone to attack the enemy with all his might, even if the enemy is outnumbered, the weak can defeat the strong!
Suddenly, Bohur's body trembled violently like a swing, but not frightened, but angry. The difference in strength between the two sides is so great, but the momentum has completely dropped, which is something that he can't accept as a grassland warrior no matter what. Of course, in fact, there was also a thought in his heart that he didn't want to admit that he had already born, and that was the fear of Yang Chen.
So immediately, he shouted: "Release the arrows!" Shoot him! Because of anger and shame, he only thought about getting rid of the enemy in front of him, even if it was by vile means.
It wasn't until they heard this order that those Mengmeng, who were completely intimidated by Yang Chen's murderous aura, suddenly woke up - yes, why did they have to confront him head-on? We've got bows and arrows to deal with him!
In order to fight in the city before, many Mongolians did leave their bows and arrows on their horses, but later when they landed in the city, the Mongolians who did not have to deal with the Ming army's defense line carried bows and arrows with them. As soon as they understood this at this time, they quickly took out their bows, and twenty or thirty arrows were aimed at Yang Chen who was rushing towards this side like a whirlwind.
......As a nation that is proficient in horse archery, even in a panic, the Mongolian people did not hesitate to draw the bow and shoot arrows, and in an instant, dozens of sharp arrows shot directly towards Yang Chen's position.
When Yang Chen saw this rain of arrows flying towards him, he stopped his forward action, and quickly swung his knife like a wheel, blocking in front of him, and at the same time, he quickly retreated, and shouted in his mouth: "Retreat!" Find a place to hide! ”
His reaction was indeed fast enough, and his knife was accurate enough, and he actually blocked most of the arrows that were fired at him. It's just that Baimi finally had a mistake, and a very tricky feather arrow was still nailed to his empty left shoulder, and the power brought out made his body tilt, almost stumbling.
At the same time, there were several cries of pain from the defenders behind him. Those arrows that failed to hit Yang Chen continued to fly backwards, and actually hit the soldiers of the Ming army who followed his footsteps.
Seeing that this shot finally worked, the spirit of the Mengren above suddenly lifted up, and he immediately drew his arrow again and put it on the bowstring. And Yang Chen also knew that they would not stop there, so he shouted back in his mouth, and his body had fallen backwards. The other soldiers also understood the ferocity of the enemy's arrows, and quickly turned their heads and ran downward.
Just as Yang Chen was staring at the arrows in front of him, constantly using the knife in his hand to block and ensure his own safety, there was a sound of bowstrings under the stone steps, followed by the sound of arrows breaking through the air.
Not good! Yang Chen's heart sank at that time, and what he was most worried about still happened!
Although he was backwards and could not see what was behind him, he knew very well that the defenders could not appear at the bottom of the stone steps at this time, and they did not have bows and arrows in their hands. In this way, the only ones who can shoot arrows below are the few Mongolian people who remain below!
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts! I made a big mistake after all! Yang Chen regretted it in his heart, knowing that this was really a bad thing.
He can still resist the arrows in the front, but the arrows from behind him, and he doesn't have long eyes behind him, so he naturally can't block them. Maybe the next moment, it's the pain of a sharp arrow piercing through the body......
But the subsequent situation made Yang Chen stunned again, and the few arrows shot from behind him actually did not hit his body, but roared past his side, shooting directly at those Mongolian archers above!
Because those archers focused on Yang Chen and the defenders, coupled with the influence of distance and night, they didn't notice that there were still people below who would shoot themselves with bows and arrows. By the time they sensed the danger, it was obviously too late, and the arrows had already carried a sound of wind and penetrated directly into the bodies of several archers.
Then, a rain of arrows shot from below, which directly caught these archers off guard, and the arrows aimed at Yang Chen lost their accuracy.
With this cover, Yang Chen and the remaining defenders finally quickly retreated from the enemy's fire, but the price they paid was still not small. There were only five people left who could retreat with Yang Chen, and all of them were injured. The only thing to be thankful for was that the two soldiers before seized this opportunity and lifted Ma Qianyuan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, down the stone steps.
But even after retreating down the stone steps, their situation still did not improve much, and with this retreat, the security fort was completely fallen. The Mongols, who have already occupied the fortress wall, are no longer unstoppable!
What to do? Such a question flashed through the hearts of all the survivors, and then everyone looked at Yang Chen.
Although he was not one of the fortresses, he had just met them today. But through this fighting performance just now, he has won the trust of these border soldiers. Sometimes no matter how high the status is, at the foot of the Great Wall, it can't withstand the trust and friendship generated after a side by side battle!
Yang Chen naturally felt the trust from these sergeants, and he took over this arduous responsibility without giving up, and quickly turned his mind in his heart and made a choice.
At this time, there are actually two choices for them. One of them is to take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet been killed, immediately open the gate, seize the horse and flee for his life. The second is to retreat into the bunker in the rear and continue to hold on!
Soon, the first option was abandoned by him. Everyone was wounded, and in terms of horsemanship, these people were obviously not as good as the Mongolian people who grew up on horseback, and if they did this, there could only be one result, and that was the total annihilation! What's more, there are two seriously injured people around them - Qingler and Ma Qianyuan.
In this way, you can only choose the second desperate path that seems even more hopeless. But at this time, Yang Chen could no longer hesitate, so he immediately ordered: "Enter the bunker!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers did not ask, nor hesitated, and immediately followed him and turned their heads and rushed into the bunker beside him. Even those few Mongolian people followed in under the leadership of Tana, and at this moment, even they had obeyed Yang Chen and were willing to obey his command.
And unexpectedly, until they got into the bunker and set up a defensive posture, the Mongols above the stone steps did not take advantage of the situation to chase down......
