Section 221 Decisive Battle (3)
The strong Eight Banners gradually gained the upper hand on the battlefield, wielding butcher knives to kill wantonly, the Fengzhou army, which was inferior to the opponent in terms of physical strength, equipment and experience, was exhausted, and gritted its teeth and struggled with the morale of the decisive battle.
"Du Shuai, hurry up and go to the battalion, if we continue to fight, our blood will be exhausted." Jin Sheng ran back from the front and begged Du Wenhuan again.
"We are bleeding, Jiannu is also bleeding, no matter how many of our dead people are still there, and there are more people who die in Jiannu and don't want to go home, the Mongols in Liaodong will clean them up, fight them, keep fighting, and those who can't hold on must be Jiannu." Du Wenhuan was unmoved.
"Du Wenhuan, the front is all young and strong, what should they do if they die in Fengzhou?" Ortai's eyes were on fire, and his hands trembled and pointed ahead and said, "There are not only us Mongolians there, but also you Yansui people, are you willing to give up these folks?" ”
"I have no choice, I want to hold Fengzhou, keep the land, pastures and people, I can only choose to shed more blood, fight down, I will admit it after fighting a generation, I see if Chief Jian dares to gamble with me!" Du Wenhuan's eyes were moist, and he waved his fists and shouted.
"Old Shuai, if you have to shed more blood, then let's bleed too, I'll take the battalion up, the brothers can't stand it, and they are willing to fight with the garrison, and they won't die!" Ma Guangyuan said firmly, and dozens of officers behind him, including Zhang Chuanjie, Man Zhu, Sun Shoufa, Du Hongfang, Ding Qiming, and Ma Xianglin, surrendered to the battle.
"You tell me, how many days will this battle take? The battle report of the Great Commander has not yet arrived, I don't know what the results of the battle were, and I don't know when the iron cavalry will come. Du Wenhuan replied coldly.
The generals hung their heads and were speechless, Fengzhou was too weak to defend against a strong enemy at the cost of their lives, they looked at the tragic battlefield and prayed in their hearts for the safety of their comrades.
The battle ahead is getting more and more fierce, and of course the Jin army will not be frightened by the large number of opponents, how can the hunters in the mountains and forests be afraid of the farmers who farm? Their hand-to-hand combat experience and ability are definitely much stronger, a Niu Lu can launch an attack with dozens of people, and the white-armored soldiers are even more fierce, and they dare to go on a rampage with the cooperation of two or three people. The Fengzhou garrison relied on the numerical advantage to fight hard, but the opponent's resilience was too strong, and the fighting spirit was still undiminished after fighting in heavy iron armor for a morning, but the side suffered heavy casualties, and each time a Eight Banner soldier was killed, he had to pay two or three lives as a price, and victory seemed to be out of reach.
The right wing of Xuan Dewei has an absolute superiority in strength, but was killed by the brave two blue flags can not parry, the bravest captain Dehun An is also a little discouraged, the command makes Ouerden angry, swinging a knife into the enemy group, in Shunyi Wangfu Guards is not in vain, no horse is also a grassland warrior, with Dehun An directly to the blue banner of the big Xu. Dehunan's Zhushen soldiers shouted "revenge", and the chaotic army opened a bloody road, and Uerden took the opportunity to command the Mongol soldiers to fire arrows in a chaotic manner, and Derge was almost shot to death, but fortunately, Zilharang's rescue was timely to escape. Zhang Mengcun's ability is a little worse, but he is more cunning, with a few archery and gun fighters to hide behind Li Wanqing, Li Wanqing is desperate in front, he sneaks in behind, and specializes in fighting officers and white armor, which makes the other party suffer a lot. After Xuan Dewei's indiscriminate fighting, the two blue flags began to tie their hands - since Amin was imprisoned and Mang Gurtai was heavily punished, the two blue flags were uncertain, and they were unwilling to lose too much of their youth, and the two sides were gradually evenly matched.
The barbarian mountain camp in the middle of the road completely collapsed - the garrison Wu Dayou was seriously injured and was carried down, the captain of the Yongguan battalion Ulich was bent on killing the enemy and would make a contribution, desperately attacking the opponent's Daxu, Yue Tuo and Sakhalian were not good at fighting, and did not dare to come forward to face the battle, and mobilized the white-armored guards to besiege Ulich, this Chahar hero rushed up to meet the battle without fear, and died in the chaos of arrows after killing several opponents in a row. Namur was furious, personally waved a knife into battle, but was injured by random arrows, deputy garrison Zhang Liwei led the troops to snatch back Namur, gathered the remnants of the army to surround the formation of a dead guard to wait for help, Dongsheng Wei Tuoyangkun, deputy garrison He Jinlong desperately rescued each other, so that the whole army was not destroyed. The garrison in the middle was torn apart, Batu was heartbroken, and ordered to play the banner of his deputy commander, gather the garrisons on the battlefield who were fighting separately, and re-form a battle to the death, Yue Tuo and Sakhalian also had a headache when they encountered such a difficult opponent, and the idea of a quick victory was put to the back of their minds, and they ordered the two red flags to go all out to annihilate the opponent, but the two sides were staggered together, and it was not easy to annihilate each other.
The most difficult is the left wing of the Fengzhou army, after the white flag came up, the inlaid white flag was also rampant, the two white flag soldiers killed the Fengzhou guard corpses all over the field, and the five captains who replaced Wang Guozhong Xing Red Wolf had red eyes, this swordsman was born with a fast sword, rushed forward to cut five eight banner soldiers, he rushed too hard to attract the attention of the other party, and was besieged by three or four white armor of the white flag. After the people around him fell one by one, Xing Hongwolf was covered in blood, roared angrily and stabbed a white armor to the ground, and then his head was also cut off. Xing Hongwolf fell, but the five brigades did not collapse, this unit from the hometown of the commander fought even more frantically, the second squadron leader Liu Tichun rushed up to snatch back the battle flag of the five brigades, and led the remnants of the soldiers to continue to fight to the death.
Wang Ziyong into the battlefield, play the flag to gather the remnants of the soldiers, will form a team of nearly 1,000 people, once again launched a counterattack on the Jin army, the Jin army suffered and also mobilized troops to attack, the assembled garrison was quickly dispersed, and returned to the state of fighting separately, Wang Ziyong held a step formation to fight to the death, several arrows in the body still stood with a knife, Buyantu rushed to the rescue to find that he had died of anger.
"Fight, fight to the end, just die here today, blow the trumpet!" Buyantu roared with rage, and the sharp arrows in his hands kept shooting at the enemy, and the garrison of Fengzhou Wei became even more crazy when they heard the trumpet, and they strangled together with the Jin army of the two white flags for their lives.
The bloody melee ahead, the officers behind were very anxious, and soon after noon, someone suddenly shouted under the mound, "Chen Erzhu is back, the battle report of the commander has arrived", everyone looked down together, Du Wenhuan's personal soldier Gao Heizi helped the staggering Chen Erzhu to walk towards this side, Manzhu and Qin Hu couldn't wait, rushed down the mound and lifted Chen Erzhu up with his hands and feet.
"Great victory, great victory of our army Weining Haizi!" Chen Erzhu shouted loudly and was carried up, handed the military newspaper to Du Wenhuan, and then sat on the ground with a butt.
"Our army Weining Haizi defeated the army of Jiannu South Road, the enemy chief Azig was seriously injured, the commander is leading the iron cavalry to come, at most two hours will arrive, order the whole army to shout the great victory of the commander, shout loudly for the Jiannu to listen," Du Wenhuan read the battle report and was in high spirits, and waved his fist to the generals and shouted, "The generals listen to the order, all the troops of our battalion and the stone soldiers will attack immediately, be sure to drag the Jiannu, and when the iron cavalry of the commander arrives, then destroy the enemy, our army will win this battle, and you will work hard!" ”
"Willing to play for Toyosu!" The generals chanted together excitedly.
"God bless Fengzhou, the commander is brave, my Fengzhou has been saved!" Ortai couldn't hold back her tears.
"Your Majesty, did you hear the cheers of the soldiers? The general army of Tuntian wants to fight a big victory for you. Jin Sheng knelt down in the direction of Jingshi and shouted excitedly.
The Fengzhou battalion cheered and drove to the battlefield, the world's first Jin army was about to be trampled underfoot, every soldier was full of confidence and firm pace, "let's fight, Fengzhou, Fengzhou conquered the world, Fengzhou people never, never, never be slaves" The song soared into the sky.
"Children, go to war, surpass those evil Jin people." The Lama of Qiuerji stood on the side of the road, seeing off the soldiers - he had already returned to Kuku and Tunyin Buddha Temple, and had been in retreat and chanting scriptures, after all, fighting and killing people was incompatible with the Dharma and doing good deeds and precepts and killing, and no matter how lively it was, he could not participate, but after the lama who fled from Chahar told him about the various evil deeds of the Jin army outside the Xuanfu, the old lama was enraged - Zhu Shen is really a fake believer in Buddhism, and he is still an evil person who believes in shamans in his bones, Buddhism has reincarnation, these guys stay in the world and continue to do evil, and they are likely to go to eighteen layers of hell in the future, Sending them away early is also a good deed. The old lama figured out the reason, and took a large group of lamas to the battlefield to pray for the blessings of Fengzhou, and to surpass the souls of those Fengzhou soldiers who died in battle, and at the same time to pray for the people of Jinguo, hoping that they would die early and be reincarnated early, so as not to do a lot of evil, suffer for cattle and horses in the next life, and even go to hell and not be reborn.
"Brothers, fight hard, we have money, and there is a reward for killing Jiannu!" Sun Tingyao and Wang re-led a group of Qin and Jin merchants also came to cheer for the Fengzhou army, and the soldiers and civilians of Fengzhou were contributing to the front line, and they were embarrassed, so Sun Tingyao, who had a childhood dream, and Wang, who was eager to show his loyalty, regained the courage to take a group of people to the front line, and escorted dozens of cars of ordnance.
"Brothers, fight hard, the population of Jiannu is small, and there is one less to kill, I know them best." Fan Yongdou and a group of border businessmen are also babbling, and there are Fan Erxi with a few patrols staring at them behind them - Zhang Shi'an cooperated with the inspection department to prevent Jin Guo spies, set up points everywhere to check pedestrians, and mobilized Fengzhou men, women and children to be vigilant and monitor all the people who came and went with Jinguo, as soon as Fan Yongdou went out, a group of children followed behind his buttocks, he went to Li Huai to reason, but Li Huai persuaded him to endure for a while, and it would be good to finish the battle. The family couldn't stay still, Fan Yongdou pulled up the border businessmen who had the same experience, and escorted more than a dozen truckloads of grain to the front line, but Fan Erxi and his gang were recruited, and they were warned that if there was any change in the front, he Fan Erxi would kill his relatives in righteousness, where could this be reasonable, Fan Yongdou and others had to send their anger to Jin Jun's head.
The shouts of the great victory instantly spread throughout the battlefield, and then the battalion soldiers appeared behind them, and the dying garrison immediately lifted their spirits - the commander was brave, and he stepped on the Jin army all the way, and our iron cavalry was about to come back, and the people of the Jin country were waiting to die. The garrisons dragged their tired bodies, gritted their teeth and continued to fight to the death with the Jin army, refusing to retreat a single step, and no one paid attention to the clarion call for them to retreat.
In fact, it is difficult for the garrison to withdraw, they were beaten to pieces by the Jin army, dozens of people, hundreds of people around a black eagle flag to form a foot formation to fight for their own battles, fortunately, from last autumn to this summer, they have been training this style of play, the brothers around them are also acquaintances of the same hundred households, thousands of households, not only skilled in cooperation but also can strengthen each other's courage, the infantry formation is not afraid of being defeated, a whistle everyone will disperse, and then call friends to re-form the formation, dozens of spears, swords and shields plus a few pairs of bows and arrows can continue to fight. The Jin army is a little at a loss, they have not encountered this kind of desperate play, they are accustomed to inserting into the gap between the other party's junction to divide each other, but the more interspersed, the more dispersed their own strength, and the more they take the other party, the more troublesome is that the various large and small step formations also cooperate with each other, besieging each other while they are also besieged, and if they are not guarded, they will stab a spear, or shoot a cold arrow, or even fly over a gun, no matter how strong the soldier encounters this situation, he will have a headache, and the white armor soldiers will fill in many in vain.
At this time, the Fengzhou battalion entered the battlefield in a dense array, with Sun Shoufa's left battalion on the left flank, Du Hongfang's rear battalion on the right flank, Ma Xianglin's 3,000 stone stone white pole soldiers in the center, three infantry formations lined up, and two old troops, Zhang Chuanjie's front battalion and Manzhu's right battalion, were separated from the left and right sides of the rear. The trumpet sounded, Sun Shoufa and Du Hongfang's two infantry formations began to advance slowly, and the dense rain of arrows immediately poured on the Jin army, and the garrisons who got the response took the opportunity to advance with the battalion soldiers, pinching the Jin army blocking the retreat road, and then retreating to the rear along the passage between the infantry formations to reassemble - the garrisons did not dare to run around, the bows and arrows behind did not have long eyes, and the battalion soldiers and the guards of each guard repeatedly trained how to retreat.
Ma Xianglin wanted to avenge the blood feud of the Battle of the Hunhe River, and tried his best to fight for the middle position in the front row, but he was overtaken by the friendly forces in a blink of an eye, and he could only follow behind to protect the left and right flanks, but he couldn't help it, the tactics of the people to meet the front were mature, and he couldn't intervene. However, he didn't plan to be idle, and waved his hand to order the leader of the family, Ma Hutou, to take a few people out to challenge, and Ma Hutou lived up to expectations and soon came back with two heads.
"Salhu, Salhu!" The infantry on the left and right wings are roaring, Sun Shoufa, Du Hongfang two battalions in the Yulin people accounted for the vast majority, the war more than ten years ago has always been a pain in the hearts of the Yulin people, Jun Song Marshal and 10,000 Yulin children buried in a foreign land, deep hatred can not be revenged.
"Do you remember the Hunhe?" Ma Xianglin's heart was hot, and he lifted a human head and shouted loudly to the soldiers.
"Kill all the slaves and take revenge!" The stone soldiers roared in unison, thousands of stone soldiers were killed in the first battle of the Hunhe River, and almost every family wore filial piety, and this blood debt of his father and brother will never be forgotten.
Tiancong Khan looked ahead with fire in his eyes - Azig was defeated, he was sure that the news shouted by the other party would not be false, and he should not divide his troops in the withered club, Eru would not let go of this opportunity, but at that time, who would have thought that Eru had such a strong strength and could fight on two battlefields at the same time, and the elite infantry of the other party had already appeared, and maybe Eru would be killed soon.
Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were whispering with pale faces, shaking their heads and sighing.
"The battle of the eighth is stinky, we should press it with all our strength at the beginning, we are much stronger, we will definitely be able to defeat the farmers, it was too late for Erlu to come back at that time, and now it is troublesome, it is a war of fuel, but it is entangled by the other party, the eighth person is bold in big things, but he grinds in small things, what is this!" Mang Gurtai whispered.
"Let's say a few words, in fact, this battle should not have been fought in the first place, the supplies have not been settled, and the enemy situation is unknown, how can there be a reason to run more than 5,000 miles to fight a decisive battle?" Dai Shan replied lightly.
"Erlu, this stinky boy has come out, and he has actually trained the farmers to be tenacious, and they can fight to the death for each other, no! It stands to reason that Erlu should use the Ming army's style of play, second brother, don't you think they are like us Zhushen. ”
"Erlu is originally Zhushen, I'm afraid we won't be able to win this battle, Old Five, do you remember Salhu? That's how we dealt with the Ming army at that time. ”
The two were silent, the big war decided the fate of everyone in Dajin, victory can continue to survive, defeat means slaughter, enslavement, at that time, whether the Jin people were masters or slaves, and whether they were Zhushen, Han people or Mongols, all people, regardless of nobility and ethnicity, took up arms and fought side by side, unless they fell in the end, even if there were only a few hundred, dozens or even a few people left, they would fight for themselves. It's a pity that the Great Khan led everyone on the road of sinicization, and the pride of the old Zhushen is getting weaker and weaker among the younger generation, and Li Yu is wearing a hat of the general army of the Ming Kingdom, but it seems to be taking the Han and Mongolian Zhushenhua, at least in front of him, the Eight Banners are infected with a little bit of the Ming army's constraints, each taking care of its own problems, and the people of Fengzhou are like the old Zhushen working together and fighting to the death.
Tiancong Khan's face was very calm, but his heart was burning with anger, he didn't hate Li Yu, nor did he hate Azig, he definitely couldn't beat Erlu, this was his own mistake in using soldiers, there was nothing to complain about. He inexplicably hated Li Yongfang, who stayed in Shenyang-this guy who was in charge of the spy affairs of the Dajin Kingdom must be making trouble, he knows everything about Daming, why doesn't he know anything about Fengzhou? Ben Khan understood, Li Yongfang and Liu Xingzuo are in a group, Liu Xingzuo and Erlu are in a group, the old guy must be secretly sheltering Erlu, and the one who is the matchmaker in the middle must be the boss of the Li family, Yingge, Liu Xingzuo, Kurtang, and Yingge are all close friends of Sakhalian, these are the people of the two red flags, and there is Da Beile standing behind them, and the two red flags are secretly forming a party to harm me, right? We'll go back and settle the bill.
"The two yellow flags attacked, each banner must get rid of the entanglement of those farmers, and make every effort to annihilate the elite infantry of Erlu, and the cavalry will be left for Ben Khan." Tiancong Khan made a move, and by the way, he stared at Dai Shan fiercely, and Da Baylor was so frightened that he trembled.
