Section 225 Decisive Battle (7)
In the rain battle, firearms, bows and arrows, war horses are not used, and even armor has become a burden, the twenty-four brigade and the white flag entered a state of melee as soon as they fought each other, the eight banners Zhushen was strong and tall, full of toughness, and had a clear advantage in the fighting, but to defeat the opponent also had to take his life.
Not long after the battle, He Jinlong was stabbed in the buttocks, and he couldn't figure out how he got the knife, anyway, everyone rolled together and beat randomly. Bagen was still invulnerable, rampage with an axe, who was going where the most people went, Hao Heizi followed behind and cut off the head, while wondering how this guy was full of energy as soon as he fought.
"Kuroko, what kind of head do you need at this time, cut it with a knife!" Bagen kicked Hao Heizi's buttocks, pointed at the big gang in front of him and shouted, "Bring your people to rush with me, kill the Jin Kou leader under the big gang, and this battle will be won." ”
Duoduo is scolding, what kind of broken war is this, it's all the old eight ghosts, if you continue to fight, you will die, and you won't be able to live in the future? The more Duoduo thought about it, the more angry he became, and simply let people blow the call for help, it didn't matter if anyone came to save him, anyway, the fire in his stomach had to be vented. However, the call for help did not recruit rescuers, but recruited the other party's people, and more than a hundred Fengzhou soldiers rushed over with murderous spirits, Duoduo did not give up at all, and said to the white-armored guards, "Kill everyone", turned around and left.
The white-armored soldiers were too strong, and they cut down more than a dozen garrisons when they shot, and the captain of the squad was not convinced by a knife in the tail, so he pounced on the opponent and played wrestling, but the two of them fell together in the mud and were hacked to death with knives. The big head was picked up by Bai Jia with a spear, and then with a knife to the head, Hao Heizi roared angrily and rushed towards the white armor, and the other party also held a spear to stab at him. Bagen was beckoning everyone to retreat, and found that Hao Heizi was desperate, and exclaimed, "Heizi, throw a spear!" Hao Heizi threw the spear casually with a move in his heart, and the other party was close enough to dodge, and watched the spear pierce into his chest.
Hao Heizi killed someone, turned around and ran, didn't run a few steps and stumbled a big heel fight, the two white armor caught up and raised the knife to cut, Bagen suddenly appeared behind them, swung the axe and cut over one, the other Baijia quickly turned around and pounced on Bagen, the knife and axe collided with the long knife and took it out of his hand, the man shouted and hugged Bagen, Bagen pulled out the dagger and stabbed him into the stomach, the fallen Baijia struggled to stand up, stabbed Bagen in the back, and the three of them then fell together. Hao Heizi was still in a daze, and Tiezi led someone to rush over and shouted loudly, "Heizi, run away with the captain on your back!" Hao Heizi suddenly woke up, picked up Bagen and ran. The iron played cover, and the group retreated while fighting. The battlefield was in chaos, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Fengzhou soldiers and Jin soldiers were fighting everywhere, and they fled behind a mound in one go.
Bagen's face was pale, the blood kept flowing, his body gradually weakened, Hao Heizi and Tiezi kept calling, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Hao Heizi and said, "I'm going to die, you don't have to worry anymore", and then closed his eyes. Hao Heizi's heart was trembling, tears couldn't stop flowing, and a stream of hot blood suddenly surged to the top of his head.
"I'm going to kill people, kill all those gold!" Hao Heizi wiped a handful of tears, lifted Bagen's axe and walked towards the battlefield, Tiezi and his brothers firmly followed him.
Li Yu led the cavalry to appear suddenly, Haoge and Duoduo were taken aback, and did not hesitate to order a retreat, the Jin soldiers stepped on the war horses, and fled in a hurry in the heavy rain, and the Fengzhou infantry and cavalry met smoothly, Li Yu immediately ordered a counterattack on the whole front, and the charging horn of the Fengzhou army sounded everywhere on the battlefield, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The withdrawal horn of the Jin army also sounded, Tiancong Khan retreated at the last moment, and his attitude changed so quickly that Dai Shan and Mang Gul Taibai, who came to make trouble, prepared a belly of rhetoric, in fact, this is the only choice he can make - this is a confused battle that should not be fought, but he can't pull his face to withdraw the troops, and he is fighting in a daze until now, the sky is going to be dark, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid that he will end up together, Erlu can not care, he is originally a poor egg, and if he loses all of it, he will return to the old nest and start over, but can I afford to lose? Erlu's hairy child has grown up, I shouldn't still treat him as a child, God is playing tricks on people, why is this stupid guy not paying attention and becoming a big problem.
Li Yu sneezed twice, looked at the battlefield and sighed - the battle was finally over, the comprehensive counterattack of the Fengzhou army was not very successful, only intercepted a small number of Jin troops who were caught in the melee, a large number of Jin troops almost retreated north under the nose of the Fengzhou army, Du Wenhuan wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Li Yu, the cavalry of the Jin army had pressed up, and stopped not far away to monitor the Fengzhou army, as long as it started, it would be another melee immediately. In fact, the Fengzhou army could not move, and the soldiers were extremely tired, and slowly advanced in the mud, forcing the Jin army to withdraw from the battlefield, and the Jin army was in a similar situation, and both sides were unable to fight again.
The torrential rain was still falling, the Fengzhou cavalry and the Jin cavalry confronted each other, only less than two miles apart, a group of Jin infantry who lost their armor and were covered in mud retreated, and behind them were the same embarrassed and filthy Fengzhou infantry, this scene seemed to be the Fengzhou army escorting the Jin army to retreat.
"Wan Sheng, Erlu Batulu!" Tu Lichen suddenly shouted, and Zhu Shen in the Fengzhou army immediately shouted in unison.
"Wan Sheng, Humba Tulu!" The Mongols cheered excitedly.
"Wan Sheng, Grand Commander!" The Han soldiers also waved their fists and cheered.
"Erlu Batulu!" The Jin army also resounded with shouts, and the military flags tilted towards the Flying Tiger Banner, which was the highest etiquette for the Eight Banners Zhushen to pay respect on the battlefield, and only true heroes could win this honor, even if it was to defeat their opponents.
The shouts on the grassland rang out, the Fengzhou army was celebrating the victory, what did the Jin army shout nonsense, did they think that Zhushen had a new hero - Du Wenhuan shook his head, Fengzhou and Daming went against each other, but became more and more like Yiren, where will Yuzi take Fengzhou, is it the next Jin country? If this is the case, the Ming of the Zhu family will die.
"Order each battalion of cavalry to send a sentry to follow and monitor the Jin army, and the rest of the troops immediately clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat, and be sure to bring back the brothers who died in battle," Li Yu looked at the back of the Jin army and ordered, and then pointed to Tu Lichen and said, "There are still a lot of Jin troops who have been intercepted, you send them a message, don't shed any more blood, I, Erlu Batulu, promise them, as long as they lay down their arms and surrender, they will be released home as soon as the battle is over." ”
The rain was a little lighter, Li Yu was aimlessly patrolling the battlefield, there were corpses everywhere, there were scattered weapons everywhere, blood and rain converged to dye the grass red, the soldiers were a little numb to load the corpses into the cart, and occasionally there were ownerless war horses neighing and galloping, after this battle, I am afraid that every family in Fengzhou will have a funeral, and they can no longer fight, and the weak Fengzhou can't withstand the ravages of the war - Li Yu thought in his head, his steps became heavier and heavier, Batu was walking with a group of people, Li Yu recognized that they were waving the military flag of the 24th Brigade of Dongshengwei, which should be Bagen's brigade, and he shouted Bagen's name to greet them.
"Look at Bagan again!" Batu whispered, gesturing behind a young man.
Li Yu looked at Bagen's pale face, waved his hand to summon a big car, and motioned to put Bagen on the car, and the young man shook his head stubbornly: "He is my brother, I will carry him home." ”
"He's my brother too!" Li Yu replied irresistibly, Mo Rige and Wu Xian stepped forward to pick up Bagen and lay it flat on the cart, Li Yu stroked Bagen, tears fell on Bagen's face, turned around and tore off a flying tiger flag from the flagpole, slowly covered Bagen's body, and then whispered to Bagen, "Good brother, haven't you always wanted to go back to the Flying Tiger Camp, now I agree with you to return to the team, take this flying tiger flag and go, you won't be alone, many brothers have also left, they will come to you when they see this flag." ”
The brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion said goodbye to Bagen one by one with tears, and Chen Erzhu hugged Meng Ke and Jida together and cried bitterly - this battle was too tragic, Liu Shishi and more than 120 brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion left everyone, and they held back their tears during the battle, and now they can cry to their heart's content.
"What's your name? Bagan is an orphan, he has no home, where do you want to carry him? Li Yu asked the young man in a low voice.
"My name is Hao Heizi, Bagen is my brother, and my home is his home," Hao Heizi recognized the person in front of him, but his mouth was still a little hard, Batu glared at him fiercely, and then saluted and said, "Hao Heizi, the leader of the fifth squadron of the 24th Brigade, greets the commander. ”
"It's all squadron leaders, there should be a big name, Batu, you are his superior, give him a big name." Li Yu looked at Hao Heizi and nodded and said.
"This young man is very brave, He Jinlong was wounded, Bagen was killed, and when the 24th Brigade was dispersed, it was he who waved the brigade flag to reunite people and continue to fight, so call Hao Shaoqi." Batu replied by patting the young man on the shoulder.
Fengzhou military treasury and tun camp, Ortai and Jin Sheng quarreled in the big tent of the Chinese army, Du Wenhuan ignored them, sat alone and closed his eyes to recuperate, Li Yu and Batu walked into the big tent, Jin Sheng immediately shifted the target, pointed at Li Yu and shouted.
"Li Hanmin, why did you order to stop the attack, this is a cowardly battle and arsonance of the enemy, what a good opportunity, if you work harder, the Jin army may be wiped out, and the battle situation in Liaodong will be reversed in one fell swoop, and the good opportunity of Daming Zhongxing will make you ruined, you are a sinner of Daming!" From now on, you are not allowed to retreat a single step, pull up the army of the Barbarian Mountain, and continue to fight tomorrow, Jianyi has suffered heavy losses and low morale, and if you fight again, you can be wiped out in one fell swoop, you can no longer slack off, and also, hand over all the captured prisoners, I will sacrifice the prisoner of the Beijing Division. ”
"Lord Jin, you have a good plan for the Ming Kingdom, the Jin army is annihilated, I'm afraid we won't have a few people left, the imperial court took Liaodong by the wayside, and it was easy to clean up us when we turned back, but unfortunately, we are not the Ming army, we are the children of Fengzhou, just to defend our homeland, the Ming State has population, money and food, let's go and settle the Jin State by ourselves." Ortai said with a sneer.
"Ortai, you are rebellious, Daming is the lord of the world, Fengzhou is only a domain of Daming, you dare to betray the court?" Jin Sheng shouted angrily.
"I'm a Mongolian, I didn't eat the grain of your Ming court, I didn't become an official of your Ming court, I can't say anything about betraying the court, your court has nothing to do with me." Ortai did not back down.
Jin Sheng was furious and quarreled with Ortai again, Batu immediately joined in to help Ortai, Li Yu turned a blind eye, walked straight to the old man and sat down, covering his head without saying a word.
"I feel uncomfortable again, this is a war, the dead are inevitable, I sent someone to count it, we lost 8,000 people, and some of the wounded numbers can't live for a few days, and in the end nearly 10,000 people may die, Jianyi is not happy, there are 4,000 corpses on the battlefield, and more than 600 people were captured, the loss will not be less than 5,000, both are injured!" Du Wenhuan opened his eyes slightly and said.
"Immediately transfer another 4,000 reservists from Barbarian Mountain, we still have the strength to fight." Li Yu replied.
"Do you want to fight again?"
"I don't want to fight, the Heihe River will definitely rise tonight, I must immediately retreat across the Heihe River to reorganize the defensive line, and give Kuku and Tun to the Jin Army, Sibeile should be able to retreat under the steps, if he wants to cross the river, I have to die with him, I don't think Sibeile will do such a stupid thing."
"That's it, let's do it right away."
Li Yu and Du Wenhuan got up and walked out of the tent, Jin Sheng's ears were sharp, and when they heard Li Yu say that they wanted to retreat, they immediately blocked Li Yu and shouted: "Li Hanmin, don't retreat, do you think that this official will not impeach you because he cares about the feelings of teachers and students?" ”
"Master, the rain is so heavy, the Heihe River will inevitably skyrocket, and if we don't retreat, our army's back road will be cut off." Li Yu waved his hand and replied.
Jin Sheng was speechless, but he thought of another thing: "What about the prisoner, the prisoner of Jiannu can always be handed over to me." ”
"I won't hand over any of them, I will dispose of the prisoners I captured, and I don't need the court to interfere," Li Yu refused without hesitation, and then added, "In the eyes of the court, they are rebels who should be executed or beheaded and abandoned by Ling Chi, but I know that as long as they put down their swords and spears, they are kind farmers and herdsmen." ”
Jin Sheng's lungs were about to explode, and he was about to fight when he raised his hand, but Ortai pulled him away with a smile: "Zhengxi, we scholars don't know about war, let them take care of the martial arts, and we will continue to quarrel." ”
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped temporarily, countless torches were lit, illuminating the Heihe River as bright as day, and several pontoon bridges that were temporarily erected were crowded with people, and the officers shouted and urged everyone to hurry up and cross the river, and the cavalry also began to wade across the river, the water of the Heihe River was still rising, and the water that usually could not drown the horse's legs had risen over the horse's belly.
Li Yu immediately a pontoon bridge, watching the soldiers cross the river, each team of soldiers passing by will erupt into a burst of cheers, Shi Yan comforted Ma Xianglin hugged Li Yu, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, brother, I can go home with my head held high", Zhang Fengyi also hugged Li Yu with the etiquette of meeting Fengzhou sisters and brothers, and Shi Yanbing excitedly shouted "Li Shuai is mighty" loudly.
Namur ran to report that the Lama Erji refused to leave the Silver Buddha Temple, insisting on living and dying with the temple, Li Yu shook his head helplessly, let him be an old man, Sibeile is not bad in nature, and he will not move the Lama Temple, and the Lama Erji is highly respected on the grassland, and he will not move.
Tu Lichen escorted the prisoner and also came, and scolded in his mouth: "You guys, you guys, dare to come to the door to fight, if it weren't for the kindness of our commander, I would have killed you a long time ago, run, I'll let him run, he deserves to be shot, save wasting food." ”
"Tu Lichen, don't talk nonsense, I'm tired and hungry all the way, sometimes I can't drink a sip of water a day, if it weren't for the Great Khan's strong order, the ghost would have run so far to fight, I'm a Ula person, and I'm of the same clan as Erlu Batulu, don't mess with me!"
"That's it, I'm the old man with a white flag, and I'm also a fellow villager of Erlu Batulu, so I'm going to run here, so I won't run."
The captives were justified when they got involved with Li Yu, Tu Lichen rolled his eyes in anger, and simply ignored them - Li Yu's problem with caring for love is well known to the world, and even the captives know how to scare people with this, but the captives quickly shifted their targets, they saw Li Yu under the Flying Tiger, and a few people who knew Li Yu immediately shouted, Li Yu froze for a moment, and then walked over, and the captives immediately came up and talked nonsense.
"Baturu, my name is Baoshun, an old man with white, I followed you to the Xilamulun River to fight the Chahars, my brother's name is Changshun, and he was also captured by you, near Kara City, do you remember him? My brother always talks about your good at home. ”
"Baturu, I am also an old white person, I worked under Lord Baige, when I was in Zunhua, you also gave us money, does the IOU you gave us still work?"
"I am a servant of the Sakhalian Belle family, and when you came to our Baylor house, the younger one waited on you."
"I'm a slave of the Haugbel family, do you remember ......"
Li Yu was stunned by the quarrel of these guys, and even the minions of his friend's family learned to be close, so he had to comfort everyone to rest assured that he should be a prisoner, absolutely no one will be killed, and none of them will be handed over to the Ming Kingdom, and the food is still full, and they will all be sent home after the battle, and Ah Shan's gang is living well now, and they can already go out to work and earn money.
Li Yuzheng was talking, and suddenly saw a person behind the crowd who was very familiar, he walked over separately from the crowd, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Iron Spear, how could it be you, I thought I would never see you and Brother Bullseye again, what, are you injured?" ”
"I was stabbed in the leg by your people, I couldn't run, my brothers were also dead, and I was held down by your people and taken prisoner, it doesn't matter, I will be fine in a few days, and I haven't been injured." Iron Spear replied with a smile on his hand.
"No, the wounds are all watery, I'll get the medical officer right away, you can't walk anymore, ride my horse and walk with me." Li Yu looked at the wound carefully and said, the medical officer quickly came over to clean the wound with the iron spear and bandage it.
"It's still good old brother, after a day of fighting, so many people died, what kind of thing is this, a sin!" Iron Spear said with emotion.
"How many sins can be committed by soldiers, and the guilt is those who let the soldiers kill people with knives," Li Yu helped the iron spear on the horse, turned his head and said to the captives, "The soldiers go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, life and death are determined by heaven, and we can continue to be brothers after the battle." ”
