Section 122 Bloody Battle (2)
Li Yu is also fighting to the death now, Abatai is too tenacious, his thousand cavalry is actually the red armor Bayara in the past, but after Tiancong Khan ascended the throne, the establishment of the red armor was canceled, but the combat effectiveness of these elite cavalry is not weak at all, even stronger than the Fengzhou iron cavalry, although Li Yu occupies the numerical advantage, it is very difficult to defeat them.
Li Yu according to the strategy he thought of, as soon as dawn went around the back of the Jin army, easily cut off the connection between the Jin army and Qian'an, Bai Ge, who was going out of the city to meet his main force, saw that the Fengzhou iron cavalry consciously retracted into the city, and never dared to come out again, Li Yu then suddenly crossed the Luan River, and the soldiers pointed directly at the back of the Jin army, and Abatai drilled out at this time, and stuck to Li Yu and never let go.
Li Yu and Abatai are consumed, one of them is a young newcomer, and the other is a veteran on the battlefield, each of them shows their own skills and maneuvers with each other, and the two sides frequently fight each other throughout the morning, but the scale is not large, both of them are testing each other, trying to find each other's flaws. Li Yu's number is superior, the cavalry's riding skills are excellent, but the armor is not as good as the other party, part of the armor of the Fengzhou army was captured from the Chahars, and part of it is the armor left by Boshuo Ketu Khan at that time, which can basically be said to be leather armor, but the iron plate is added to the fatal part, which is relatively light but lacks protection, and most of the Jin army is wearing heavy iron armor, although it is relatively heavy, but it can provide better protection for the cavalry, and the Fengzhou army will definitely suffer if it fights hard.
Li Yu decided to take advantage of the characteristics of the opponent's slow action to drag down the other party with constant movement, so the Fengzhou army ran back and forth in front of the Jin army's formation, and put on a posture to detour back to the opponent's flank, forcing the Jin army to constantly turn around and change the formation, Abatai's cavalry obviously could not keep up with the rhythm of the Fengzhou iron cavalry, after several chaos, Abatai began to retreat backwards, his purpose was to protect Sakhalian, as long as Li Yu was threatened not to dare to join the battle group, the Fengzhou iron cavalry has been pressing Abatai to five miles away from the main battlefield, at this time Abatai did not retreat, but stared at Li Yu, he posted it wherever Li Yu went, the intention was obviously to tell Li Yu, if you dare to join the battlefield, I will immediately attack your flank, unless you dare to take the risk of dividing the troops, and Li Yu did not dare to divide the troops when the two sides were evenly matched.
Li Yu can press Abatai close to the battlefield, but he is not in a hurry, with his experience, this thousand people should be all the cavalry of this Jin army, the other party's 3,000 people were dragged by him 1,000 elites, then the strength advantage of the Ming army is very obvious, the Ming cavalry is 1,500 families, and there are 3,500 elite foot soldiers, it should be more than enough to deal with 2,000 Jin army foot soldiers on horseback, as long as the Ming army helps him after gaining the advantage, then it should be Abatai's bad luck; Abatai also had the same calculation, Sakhalian should be able to defeat the Ming army, as long as Sakhalian supported him after victory, then the boy Erlu would be defeated.
The two of them each played wishful thinking, both wanted to take advantage of more and less effort, so they each intensively formed a formation to bite each other, but they were peaceful, the stalemate was almost noon, Li Yu first couldn't hold his breath, he had a kind of ominous premonition, the Ming army 5,000 steps to ride the Jin army 2,000 foot soldiers, if a morning can not determine the victory, then the fight will definitely be a loss for the Ming army, the Jin army's physical strength and fighting spirit are by no means comparable to the Ming army, with the Ming army's war drums down, Li Yu quickly determined that the Ming army is going to have an accident, he must be ready to shoot.
"I have always hoped that there will be less bloodshed, and I will bring home as many children as possible from the people of Fengzhou, but the situation does not seem to be good, it is difficult for the Ming army to win, we must attack, maybe there will be a lot of blood this time, Zhushen's cavalry is very powerful." Li Yu told everyone in a deep voice that his eyes were on everyone - Liu Xingzuo, Bai Xianzhi, Namur, Wuhai, Zhang Chuanjie......
"Then let's fight, when have we ever been afraid of bloodshed." Wu Hai replied with a smile.
"It's the luck of my life to be able to fight with you and kill the enemy, Grand Commander, let's fight." Bai Xianzhi said solemnly.
Na Mu'er had already taken off his Confucian clothes, put on his armor, and said loudly: "I will fight wherever the great commander points out, and my king Baozhu is willing to serve the great commander." ”
Li Yu shook his head and solemnly shouted to everyone: "I, Li Yu, am willing to serve Fengzhou!" ”
"I, Zhang Chuanjie, would like to play for Fengzhou!"
"I, Liu Xingzuo, am willing to play for Fengzhou!"
……
One by one, all the soldiers impassionedly learned from Li Yu and shouted loudly.
"Willing to play for Toyosu!" All the Toyosu soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted.
Fengzhou iron cavalry moved, Wuhai, Zhang Chuanjie two battalions quickly to the Jin army two wings of the movement, the guard battalion is dragged behind, to meet their own wings, Wuhai, Zhang Chuanjie's iron cavalry quickly attached to the other party, along the opponent's two wings kept running, sharp arrows like raindrops to the other side, the speed of the Jin army can not keep up with the other side, then maintain a steady cavalry formation with bows and arrows to launch a fierce counterattack, the arrows of both sides intersect in the air, and people continue to plant from the horse.
"This kid is crazy again, wasn't that good just now!" Abatai said to himself, he was still thinking about it just now, the more he looked at Li Yu, the more he liked it, what a good pair this kid and my second girl are, it's all because the old man didn't arrange the aftermath, which caused my second girl to marry Mongolia, and also caused me to lose a good son-in-law, no wonder people Elu want to fight Jinguo, fight well, who told them to bully me with those powerful Baylors.
Tiancong Khan did not give Abatai benefits after he ascended the throne, he was still a flat-headed Baylor with an unknown name who guarded six poor cattle records, and the political seats of the meeting were all in the back, even the two little brothers Duoduo and Dolgon, as well as Yuetuo, Sakhalian, and Dudu, these nephews were all in front of him, especially when he participated in the banquet, other brothers and nephews sat in the hall, and he could only mix with a few little nephews in the hall, he didn't want to lose this face, and said that there were no good clothes to wear, and the coat that the old Khan rewarded him with was also changed for his sons to wear, So for the sake of the face of the Dajin Kingdom, he did not participate in the banquet in the future, which angered the Great Khan, and held a special criticism meeting for him, and the big and small Baylors spoke to expose and criticize him, digging into the mistakes in the depths of his thoughts, and finally concluded to him - Abatai has ambitions, wants a name today, will want to squeeze into the four Baylors tomorrow, and will want to be a Great Khan the day after tomorrow, this kind of careerist must be punished, Abatai cried a lot and admitted a sum of money to pass, Abatai felt wronged when he thought of this.
Abatai's thoughts flew for a while, and the battlefield changed again, the right wing of the Jin army was a little unbearable, the Jin army in the middle quickly sent two teams of reinforcements, the right wing of the Jin army was reinforced, and immediately a counterattack repelled the Fengzhou army, and chased a few hundred steps away immediately to stop the pursuit, was about to turn around and return to the formation, Abatai was satisfied with the quick reaction of his men, at this time the Ming army's arrows sounded in the sky, Abatai breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Sakhalian won this battle, and he can clean up Erlu immediately.
"It's not good, let the people on the right return to their positions quickly." Abatai suddenly saw a Fengzhou army flying the Flying Tiger Banner suddenly pounce on his right flank.
It's too late, Li Yu is waiting for this opportunity, it's better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, Wuhai paid the price of more than 20 casualties to lure out this group of Jin soldiers, then he must not be allowed to go back, the pro-guard battalion is like lightning into this small gap, the cavalry of the Jin army on the right wing is still a little worse, and the speed of turning around is a little slow and it is inserted by the pro-guard battalion, and then the Wuhai battalion, which had fled backwards, almost completed the U-turn and changed horses in the same place, and turned around and killed back - more than 300 Jin cavalry were divided and surrounded.
Abatai was shocked, he didn't have the capital to lose thirty percent of the troops, Abatai immediately ordered the whole army to turn to work together to rescue the besieged men and horses, Zhang Chuanjie took advantage of the Jin army to adjust the formation, quickly skipped from the side of the Jin army, and joined the guard battalion, Abatai shook his head helplessly, he also wanted to divide a piece of Fengzhou iron cavalry to eat, but the Jin army couldn't do it, the Jin army wearing heavy armor was too slow to keep up with the opponent, and the Jin army couldn't run a long distance and had to change horses, otherwise it would not be able to continue fighting, and the price of improving protection was to reduce mobility.
"You command Zhang Chuanjie and the two battalions of Wuhai to eat these hundreds of gold soldiers with all their might, be fast! Quick. Li Yu shouted to Bai Xianzhi, and then led the guard battalion with Liu Xingzuo to meet the Abatai who rushed over, Bai Xianzhi agreed, and he and Zhang Chuanjie pounced on the besieged Jin army, and now it is faster than anyone else, as long as the two battalions of 1,000 people can quickly solve the 300 Jin army, Abatai can only escape.
Abatai also realized the crisis and launched an attack in a cavalry formation, but his heavy cavalry charge was still slow, and the guard battalion took advantage of this opportunity to shoot a dense rain of arrows at the Jin army, and the dense arrow rain only brought down twenty or thirty Jin troops, and the Jin army rushed over without fear in heavy armor.
"Chaolu is on the left, Baiyintu is on the right, all of them are accelerating, and each is preparing swords and spears, and they are close to the Jin army to fight." Li Yu casually took out the bow and arrow from the sack, rushed out first, and shouted loudly, "Defend the battalion, attack!" ”
The Flying Tiger Banner was waving in the wind, the sentry commanders and captains gave orders while running, and each quickly formed a small formation in the accelerated march, and the spearmen surrounded the archers in the middle, which was their regular training subject, and in hand-to-hand combat, the archers and spearmen cooperated with each other to kill their opponents at close range. Meng Ke and Jida quickly surrounded Li Yu and Mo Rige with swords and shields, which is also a common trick, Li Yu and Mo Rige are the best archers, capable of shooting any enemy they encounter with a strong bow, Asari and Fei Yangwu followed the example of Meng Ke and Jida to surround Liu Xingzuo and Namur, but this is mainly for protection, Liu Xingzuo and Namur are also holding bows and arrows, ready to shoot sharp arrows when they are close to the Jin army.
The two sides collided together in an instant, and immediately people turned over on their backs, blood splashed, Li Yu roared angrily and shot the enemies in front of him one by one with a series of arrows, Mo Rige was even more ruthless, and shot over a Jin army flag officer seventy or eighty steps away with a hard bow, which frightened the Jin army, the Jin army's cavalry array was rushed out of a small gap, and the Jin army did not show weakness, a reserve immediately rushed over with more than twenty Jin troops, and the captain of Meng Ke's command, Bagen, roared and led people to intercept, and the two sides could not avoid it in the melee, and they collided directly together, The heavy armored cavalry easily knocked over the first few Fengzhou light cavalry, and at the moment when the horse was knocked down, Bagen jumped up and hugged the Beiyu and fell off the horse together, Li Yu was shocked, this is the old brother who went to Yang and joined the army with him, Li Yu shot over a Jin soldier who slashed at Bagen with a knife, and then rushed over with a bow and a lance, Bagen pressed the Jin military royal to the ground, pulled out a short axe and cut off the head of this guy, and just stood up and was knocked out by a Jin army, Li Yu happened to arrive at this time, With a roar, he used a long lance to pick up the golden soldier and smash it into the crowd of the Jin army, and Meng Ke in the back lifted the bloody Bagen to his horse, Li Yu was fierce, holding a lance in one hand and an axe in the other, killing five Jin soldiers in a row, and the Jin army was killed in fear but did not dare to take a step back, so he could only fight to the death. Liu Xingzuo and Namur, under the protection of Asari and Fei Yangwu, used close shooting to shoot down the enemy again and again - the heavy armor of the Jin army could not prevent a strong shot at a distance of one or twenty paces, Liu Xingzuo looked up and found Abatai's big sword, and shouted loudly: "Yuzi, Abatai is there, let's kill it", Li Yu responded, and took Meng Ke and Jida to follow Liu Xingzuo to kill.
Not far away, it was also shouted to kill the heavens, and the surrounded more than 300 Jin soldiers were trapped and fighting, relying on the protection of strong armor and stubbornly blocking with bows and arrows, the Fengzhou army poured the arrow rain towards the Jin army in bursts, but the killing effect was not obvious, Bai Xianzhi was so anxious that he scolded: "Zhang Chuanjie, Wuhai, are you afraid of death?" Rush up for me, shoot hard with a strong bow within thirty steps, Lao Tzu is not afraid of dead people now, only afraid of delaying time", Zhang Chuanjie and Wuhai also killed the red eye, and rushed up with people, and under the attack of the Fengzhou army with many people, the resistance of the Jin army became weaker and weaker.
Abatai regretted that he should not have held it up, and even used a thousand cavalry against 1,500 cavalry, and now let alone rescue the besieged people, he is also a little unable to get rid of his hands - the Fengzhou iron cavalry has the upper hand in the front, and immediately two hundred cavalry outflanked him, Abatai has a heart, and orders two hundred cavalry to intercept the cavalry outflanked by the other party, and he leads the remaining four hundred or so people to repel the enemy cavalry with all his might. Chaolu and Baiyintu assisted Li Yu to break away from the enemy's formation, and immediately ordered to join forces to attack the opponent's flank in a roundabout way, and the interception Jin army sent by Abatai soon met, both sides were red-eyed, normal mutual fire was exempted, and they were killed together, Chaolu's captain Zabutu took the lead, and stabbed the cavalry spear into the stomach of the opposite heavy cavalry by the inertia of the impact, and then abandoned the spear and drew the knife and rushed into the enemy formation, of course the Jin army would not let him go, Zabutu relied on his riding skills to dodge a few sharp arrows, but the horse fell to the ground with an arrow, and Zabutu fell to the groundSeeing that he was about to die under the iron hoof, Chaolu rushed over with a shield in one hand to prevent the arrows, leaned over and lifted him from the ground with the other hand, and threw him into the air casually, Zabutu jumped in the air, raised his foot and kicked a golden soldier on a horse, Zabutu snatched the opponent's horse, and pulled out the short axe he carried with him to kill the golden soldier, Chaolu smiled at him, stretched out a thumbs up, Zabutu shouted angrily: "Chahar, I owe you a favor." ”
Bai Yintu also rushed to the scene, he was a famous madman in the guard battalion, and he had a fare when he started fighting, and his whistle was almost this virtue, and he howled and killed the Jin soldiers, and under the attack of Chaolu and Bai Yintu, the Jin army soon couldn't hold on, and was pressed back step by step, and finally simply retreated to the main formation.
Abatai had already shot a pot of arrows, but he did not repel the attack of the Fengzhou army, and the flank resistance also failed, he was so anxious that when he looked up and saw Li Yu rushing towards him, Abatai rubbed his eyes and shouted: "He is Erlu, take him back for me." ”
Abatai wanted to arrest Li Yu, Liu Xingzuo also wanted to arrest him, Fei Yangwu shouted and rushed to Abatai, Fei Yangwu's father was a close confidant of Chu Ying, the prince of the late Jin Kingdom, after Chu Ying fell, his father was killed by the Baylors for some reason, and the whole family was also punished as Aha, he hated those Baylors, heard Liu Xingzuo shouted, and immediately pounced on Abatai's Daxu, several of Abatai's white-armored guards hurriedly stepped forward to intercept him, Fei Yangwu was almost off the horse with a knife, Asari just killed, and cut a white armor force under the horse, Asari was originally born in white armor, disdainful of these juniors, shouted "Asari is here, don't get out of here!" Single-handedly, he swung his knife and slashed, and several white armors were startled, turned around and ran away - Asari is still somewhat famous in the Jin country.
Abatai was so angry that he scolded these minions, an arrow suddenly flew towards him, he couldn't dodge the helmet, Abatai was so frightened that his face turned pale, what a great force, fortunately it was a headless arrow, he looked up and found that Li Yu was looking at him with a bow not far away, Abatai was empty, at this time the Fengzhou guard battalion found that there was the Belle banner of the Jin Army, more and more people killed, Baijia and Aha saw that the situation was not good, and they dragged him desperately and ran back.
Abatai avoided the edge of the Fengzhou army, and was considering whether he should continue to fight, and the horns of the Fengzhou army suddenly sounded on the two wings of the Jin army - the three hundred besieged Jin army was over, Abatai shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to fight anymore, the Mongols who had always been beaten by the Jin army were also strong, this is not something he can deal with.
"Blow the trumpet, release the trumpet arrows, and inform Sakhareembel to withdraw his troops immediately, this battle cannot be fought again," Abatai decisively ordered.
Sakhalian's siege of the Ming army's large array was also not smooth, the Ming army faced a desperate situation but inspired the fighting spirit, everyone fought to the death, fell down one, immediately made up one, the formation has never collapsed, some brave family Ding and the border army also launched a small-scale counterattack against the Jin army, although the Ming army array was constantly compressed under the blow of the Jin army, but it became more and more difficult to gnaw, just when he felt that he had no way to start, Abatai's side was defeated first, Fengzhou Iron Cavalry had begun to approach him, Sakhalian sighed, and ordered the whole army to withdraw from the battle immediately, Dense formations converged on Abatai.
Abatai also reorganized the formation at this time, and the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry launched a bow and arrow to protect Sakhalian retreat, and the Ming army got a chance to breathe, but they did not take the opportunity to escape, but joined the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, and the remaining Jiading Iron Cavalry quickly sorted out the formation under the leadership of their respective owners, and pressed towards the Jin Army together with the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, and it seemed that there was still the intention of continuing to fight.
The sky gradually darkened, and the Jin army, which had no intention of fighting, took cover alternately, wading and retreating to the east bank of the Luan River.
