Chapter 4 The Strange Soldiers Go North to Fight Hu Cai

Section 4: Scuffle (1)

The main army of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion, totaling more than 40,000 soldiers, rushed all the way to the north, and after the army marched rapidly for half an hour, Lu Ying received the news that the night was not collected: Not far from the front of the army, there was a large army fighting fiercely. Lu Ying immediately ordered the soldiers of the army to stop advancing, and only after a short rest did they form a formation and move forward, advancing with a huge formation of more than 40,000 soldiers, directly pressing towards the battlefield in front.

At this time, the fierce battle in the north of the main army of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion was the infantry army led by Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui of the Feiyu Battalion, and the enemy was more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry regrouped by Amin.

The entire battlefield was dusty and cloudy, and the fierce battle was fierce. After a series of bloody battles, the soldiers of the first battalion of the flying feather battalion and the first battalion of the Yulin battalion were already at the end of the crossbow, especially when they were raided by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the casualties of the soldiers were very serious. At this time, under the command of Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui, tens of thousands of soldiers of the whole army formed a huge circle formation and were defending on the spot and waiting for reinforcements.

In the face of the continuous onslaught of more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, the soldiers of the Hanwei army stubbornly responded to the battle, but because there was no cover of archers and musketeers in the army, they were completely passively beaten at this time, and the situation of the soldiers of the army was very critical!

Liu Jinhui looked at the Mongolian iron cavalry outside the large array, which no longer rushed into formation, but began to continue to ride around the formation, the anger in his heart had already gushed out, and he gritted his teeth and stared outside, but there was nothing he could do, but he could only mobilize all the shields in the army to the outermost to protect the soldiers of the army.

Jiang Wentian was shot in the thigh by an arrow from the Mongolian iron cavalry in the fierce battle, and at this time he had been settled in the center of the large array by the soldiers. Liu Jinhui observed for a while and then returned to the formation and said to Jiang Wentian: "General Jiang, our situation is very bad!" If this continues, once the morale of the soldiers collapses, those Tartars will rush up to harvest the wheat! We can't afford to sit still! ”

Jiang Wentian's face was pale, the arrow wound on his leg was so painful that he bit his lip, and at this time he gasped and said: "We can only wait for reinforcements in this battle, there are no firearms and bows and arrows in the army, we can't shoot at the enemy, if we rush up, we can't catch up with the Tartar cavalry, and the soldiers can only be shot as arrow targets, there is really no way!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Jinhui stomped heavily and said angrily: "What kind of battle are we fighting!" Alas! ”

As he was talking, suddenly the soldiers guarding the south side of the circle burst into a burst of cheers, and then the cheers became louder and louder, and in the end, almost all the soldiers of the Hanwei Army were shouting wildly.

Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui's eyes instantly showed a look of surprise, and at this time, both of them knew in their hearts that it must be General Lu and General Huangfu who led the army to help!

Sure enough, after a while, the Mongol iron cavalry that was besieging the outside of the circle retreated like a tide, and all of them gathered two miles north of the circle and began to form a new formation.

Liu Jinhui helped Jiang Wentian up, and the two hurriedly led their subordinates to move south, and it didn't take long to join the main army of Lu Ying and Huangfu Ming.

As soon as they met, Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui knelt on the ground together and pleaded guilty to Lu Ying and Huangfuming. Lu Ying looked at the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion and the Feather Forest Battalion, his face was very ugly, and he reprimanded the two of them, and finally said: "Wait until after this battle to discuss the guilt of the two of you!" Now take the soldiers to rest in the Chinese army first, and you should not participate in the fierce battle for a while. ”

Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui still had to argue a few words when they heard this, and they wanted to continue to lead the soldiers to participate in the war, so as to make more military exploits and wash away their shame. But Lu Ying glared at the two of them with a blue face, and was about to have a seizure on the spot, and the emperor on the side hurriedly took over when he saw this, and said, "Do you see if the soldiers under your command can continue to fight?" If you suffer a big loss, you must learn to lie down and taste the courage in order to have a future effect, and you can't come by your temperament, and you will be ashamed of the future if you fight the army! Let's go down and rest first, so that the soldiers can take a breath! ”

Jiang Wentian and Liu Jinhui saluted with shame on their faces and took the order to retreat. Lu Ying sighed heavily, and said to Huang Fuming: "The middle route army led by the superintendent and the western route army led by Po Lu have all won several battles, and they have marched all the way and recovered a lot of lost territory. However, our Eastern Route Army suffered a big loss as soon as the war began, although the war is not over now, and the outcome has not yet been decided, but even if we win this battle, our Eastern Route Army's face is also gloomy! ”

Huang Fuming persuaded: "General Town, maybe the soldiers are a little anxious when they see that the Inspector and General Wen are going well. But we can't afford to mess around! In this battle, let's use the blood of Jiannu to avenge the shame! ”

Lu Ying nodded heavily, and looked at the Mongolian iron cavalry in the north, which had completed the whole team, and his eyes were full of murderous intent!

"Woo~~~~"

In the distance, more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry suddenly sounded the horn of attack, and the iron cavalry army rushed towards the Hanwei army in a cone-shaped array, and the war horses galloped less than a mile away, and the whole army had already raised the speed to the highest.

Lu Ying and Huang Fuming looked at the Mongolian army that was getting closer and closer, there was no fear or worry on their faces, only outright anger!

Lu Ying raised the war knife in his hand violently and shouted, "Go to war!" ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

More than 40,000 soldiers of the whole army roared in unison, and the huge phalanx instantly became murderous!

At this time, the officers and men of the Hanwei Army had already completed the formation, the Feiyu Battalion was on the left, and the Yulin Battalion was on the right, and the soldiers of the two armies were divided into two huge phalanxes to support each other and serve as horns for each other. Just when the Mongolian iron cavalry army rushed to a mile away from the main array, the soldiers of the artillery battalion who had been prepared in front of the battle, under the command of the garrison Li Genqi and the garrison Chen Xu, lit the fuses of eighty divine machine gun carriages.

In an instant, the front of the Hanwei army's large array was shrouded in huge flames, and eighty Shenji artillery carriages fired tens of thousands of sharp rockets, shooting at the Mongolian army with sufficient gunpowder arrows, directly shooting hundreds of Mongolian iron horsemen at the front to the ground, no longer alive. Immediately afterwards, countless flames bloomed in the Mongolian army, devouring the lives of thousands of Mongolian soldiers around them in a blink of an eye, and the raging flames burned violently, swallowing up all the front troops of the Mongolian iron cavalry army. All of a sudden, the entire Mongolian cavalry formation was in chaos, and the momentum of the charge of tens of thousands of troops became stagnant in an instant.

"Guns come forward!"

Seeing this, Lu Ying and Huangfu Ming gave the order to attack almost at the same time, only to see Liu Heihu, the garrison of the Feiyu Battalion, and Li Mingzhi, the garrison of the Yulin Battalion, each led the soldiers of their headquarters to cross the large array of the Hanwei Army, and a total of 14,000 or 5,000 soldiers of the two battalions formed a horizontal formation in four rows.

"Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"The second row is coming forward! Preparation! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The four rows of bird-gunned hands rotated non-stop, and slammed at the Mongol iron horsemen, who had fallen into complete chaos not far away, reaping the lives of the Tartars as if they were harvesting wheat. It didn't take long for the remaining thousands of Mongol cavalry to crumble, and the scattered rout fled all over the wilderness, all running north.

Looking at the fleeing Mongolian cavalry, Lu Ying sighed slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "This is the shortcoming of the infantry, even if it can successfully defeat the Tartar cavalry, but it can't catch up!" Now there are not many iron cavalry in the army, they can only stay in the formation to protect the large formation of foot soldiers and are unable to pursue, if all the troops of the cavalry battalion are here, then thousands of Mongolian Tatars will definitely be buried here, and none of them can escape! ”

After that, Lu Ying and Huang Fuming did not delay any longer, and immediately led the infantry army of the Feiyu Battalion and the Yulin Battalion to move north, marching rapidly in the direction of Gaizhouwei, preparing to support the garrison Cen Shaomin led the iron cavalry army. At the same time, in order to prevent a possible surprise attack, Lu Ying specially ordered the Yulin battalion garrison You Dagui to lead the only more than 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers in the army to escort within three miles of the army to ensure the safety of the march of the infantry army.

Just half an hour later, the news came back from Ye Bushu: just three miles in front of the army, the iron cavalry army of the Hanwei army was engaged in a bloody battle with the army of the Zhenglan Banner. At this time, the iron cavalry soldiers of the Hanwei Army were already at a disadvantage, and they were being suppressed and beaten by the Zhenglan Banner Army, and the situation was very grim.

Lu Ying thought about it carefully for a while, and asked about that night: "According to the current situation, can the Cen garrison still support it for a while?" ”

Ye Bushu thought for a while and said, "It should be possible!" Although our army is at a disadvantage, Jiannu fought very hard, and the iron cavalry soldiers still fought very tenaciously, and it was impossible for Jiannu to win in a short time! ”

Then, Lu Ying asked again: "How far is it from Gaizhouwei here?" ”

That night did not accept and replied: "Gaizhou Wei is in the northwest direction, four miles away from here, and the battlefield position of the Iron Cavalry Army is about the same!" ”

At this time, Huang Fuming stepped forward and asked, "Does the general town want to come out of Wei to save Zhao?" ”

"That's right!"

Lu Ying nodded and said, "Now if we go to support Cen Shaomin's army, Zhenglanqi Jiannu will definitely return to Gaizhou Wei immediately, and then we will have to face a heavily defended fortified city!" If we take advantage of the current emptiness of Gaizhouwei's defense to take it down, we can not only take advantage of the situation to relieve the siege of the Iron Cavalry Army, but also cut off the back road of Zhenglanqi Jiannu directly to the north. At that time, even if Zhenglanqi Jiannu can go north to Shenyang, it will have to go around a big circle, and we may be able to make some more articles to him! ”

Huang Fuming was obviously moved by Lu Ying's words, and immediately agreed. So, the two led the army to kill in the direction of Gaizhou Wei, preparing to take the opportunity to capture the Gaizhou Acropolis. ()
