Chapter 672: Rolling

Now the Shang Tuan Army and the Houjin Army are less than five steps apart, both sides can almost spray their breath on each other's faces, the soldiers holding long weapons have no way to act, both sides are discarding spears and broadswords at the same time, and begin to fight with short knives or knives, some people who do not wear short weapons can only pull out the throwing spears or short axes used to throw from behind, and begin to slash with each other, such close combat, and close slashing, almost in an instant, all the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides was consumed, and people let out violent gasps, like the feeling of the bellows pulled out, everyone's tiger mouth is sore, but no one dares to stop, the enemy is too close to both sides, the slightest negligence will kill themselves, the enemy's weapons are almost close at hand, there is no way to adjust and stop.

Li Mingli and Cao Zhenyan were separated at this time, and the Mianjia soldiers behind were crowded because they had no way to shoot arrows, and the front was crowded, and the effect of their archery was not great, and it was easy to shoot their own people, so they could only give an order, telling them to put away their bows and arrows, and try to climb up from both sides to help, but except for the uphill mountain road, the rest of the place was too steep, and after trying a few times, only a few people fell and died, and did not achieve the slightest effect.

He scolded angrily, he ordered Cao Zhenyan to go over, wanting to see if this Han army kid could think of a way, Cao Zhenyan was ordered to go to the middle of the battle, and Li Mingli and other Han soldiers were separated.

When the short battle came, it was already difficult for the two sides to take care of each other, Li Mingli tried to move to where Cao Zhenyan was, but he soon found that it was in vain, the two sides were too close, the back and middle formations and the front formation on the Jurchen side were almost indistinguishable, and there were people everywhere, and they were crowded very closely, not to mention waving knives in many places, and the people who were squeezed in the middle even had difficulty breathing.

However, the pressure on the Shang Tuan army was increasing, and they slashed forward, and even began to rush forward directly, pushing the chaotic Jurchen array with the advantage of high and low strikes.

It's crazy on the hillside at this time! The dense crowd is crowded together, there are all kinds of voices, the biggest voice has become a panic shout, even Li Mingli and others are among them, the Jurchen side has found this extremely embarrassing situation, they want to go up but can't go up, after all, they are powerless to break through the enemy's defenses, although these soldiers are slightly inferior in fighting skills and battlefield experience, but the success of the ambush is a success, they seized the opportunity and took the lead, the Jurchens made a wrong step, and now it is difficult to recover the defeat, What's worse is that if it is an ordinary battlefield, it is great to send some dead soldiers to block, most of them retreat and re-select to find a chance to fight again, although the Jurchens are good at foot combat, and most of them win in foot combat, but it does not mean that their riding skills are very poor, many times the Ming army may have an advantage in a local battlefield, but there are few large number of gains, the reason is that the Jurchens, like the Mongols, are easy to escape with the advantage of excellent riding skills and the speed of riding action, and when they defeat the Ming army, such as the Battle of Shaling, In advance, the Ming army must pass through the dangerous pass to set up an ambush, and when the main force of the Ming army defeated and fleeing passed, the cavalry went out to plunder and attack, which soon evolved into a massacre, and almost no one in the 60,000 Ming army could escape under the pursuit of the cavalry except for the captured personnel.

The war between the Ming and Jin sides, many times is such an asymmetrical method of warfare, the most tragic one is the battle of Songjin, when Hong Chengchou was trapped in Songshan, Wu Sangui and Tang Tong and other general soldiers fled first, a large number of Ming troops were chased and killed on the coast of Liaoxi, more than 100,000 people were cut down on the way except for a very few lucky ones, quite a lot of Ming troops drowned in the sea, many years later, people can still see countless bones when passing there.

In this battlefield in front of them, Houjin's advantage is gone, behind them is a steep and narrow mountain road, in the unfavorable situation of the battle, once someone turns around and flees is a disastrous consequence, Xu Forehead really in view of this, has long been behind him sent a red swing tooth leader to lead more than ten soldiers with big swords to supervise the battle, once they find that someone is retreating, they will be killed on the spot, the soldiers also know the existence of the supervision team behind them, no one dares to think of retreating, although the flash has been thinking about turning around and withdrawing countless times.

The front is still stabbing and killing, the Jurchens have been unable to keep the queue intact, they were finally broken by the merchant army, the proudest group of the Houjin armor soldiers has also collapsed, they dare not move forward, there are constantly people in front of them being killed, and they can't retreat, people are pushing me in a very small range, many people are squeezed to the point that it is difficult to breathe, and even comatose, some people's ribs are broken, the place is too small, people are too dense, hundreds of strong men in armor push each other, this is a very terrifying scene, The queue of the Jurchens became denser and denser, and they had completely lost their formation and the will to fight.

There began to be a strange panic in the team, even the overseers behind them had lost their backbone, and an extremely frightened feeling hit the hearts of these Jurchens like never before, many people looked for Bai Jia Zhen Ezhen, but Xu Ezhen was really squeezed in the ranks of the Chinese army, and he couldn't see where anyone was by the crowd, and there was no way to issue his orders, and now there was no way to complete it whether it was advancing or retreating, people shouted, telling those behind not to squeeze up, and those in front not to squeeze back, Shouts like this came one after another, but no one could do it, the crowd panicked, began to discard weapons in a large area, the Ming army's actions that had previously made them extremely despised appeared on themselves, swords and guns were thrown on the ground, and the incomparable panic spread in the air, at this time only a few officers and white armor could still keep calm, but they were squeezed into the crowd, and they were completely powerless.

Someone was squeezed and vomited, and the people in the back team finally began to retreat, but the mountain road behind was too steep, and the people who were pushed to the back saw the people behind them rolling down the mountain like a gourd, and they must have been broken to pieces, and they couldn't help pushing the people in front of them forward, and the people in the front kept being stabbed and slashed by the merchant army, and watched the knife light flicker towards themselves, they were powerless to resist, and saw their partners being hacked to death by a knife, blood splashed, and the broken flesh on their bodies was cut off, because most of them were wearing armor, The more miserable the people in the front team died, the more strength the retreating people squeezed back, everyone was afraid that the knife light would fall on them, and they wanted to take out all their strength to squeeze back, and the people behind were afraid of falling to death, so they could only squeeze forward desperately, and the people in the middle seemed to be squeezed by the stones on both sides, and many people rolled their eyes and fainted, and then lay on the ground and were trampled to death.

Li Mingli also saw Cao Zhenyan earlier, but the situation is getting more and more dangerous, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, he saw Cao Zhenyan being squeezed in the middle of a large number of cotton armor people, his body is much thinner than these Jurchens, at the beginning Cao Zhenyan was still calling for help, shouting with people, and then a group of red-armored guards in iron armor squeezed over, Cao Zhenyan was quickly squeezed under the crowd, Li Mingli saw his red tasseled hat in the cherry helmet one by one, it should be Cao Zhenyan struggling to survive, but then he could no longer see Cao Zhenyan's figure, Li Mingli was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood, he just wanted to protect Cao Zhenyan's safety, if something happened to him, Li Mingli felt that he was too sorry for his friends, and he was sorry for Cao Shixuan, who had always taken care of him, no matter what the other party's purpose was, Li Mingli had already regarded Cao Shixuan as his uncle.

Li Mingli desperately swam in the middle, and he would not give up no matter what, even if it was to risk being squeezed to death himself.

But at this time, the array suddenly collapsed!

The force of retreat is too great, the people in the front are facing the sword and slash, the escape force they burst out is much greater than that of the rear team, people's boots are sliding on the ground, and finally the people in the rear team can not resist, a large string of people roll down the cliff, even those with big knives The overseer team also rolled down, the torches were discarded, only the starlight and moonlight were left on the battlefield, and the people who fell let out a terrifying scream, followed by the screams in a continuous line, but more people fell, and the muscles and bones may be broken if they fall, or they may fall to death, But there is also a chance to pick up a life, and staying here can only result in being killed.

Li Mingli finally saw Xu Ezhen again, he mixed with a few white armor, they had a high status and strong strength, Bai Jia kept slashing people who were too close with a knife, and finally cut a small open space in the most crowded crowd, and then they reached the last mountain road, Li Mingli saw Xu Ezhen holding a thin figure in his hand, he saw that it was Cao Zhenyan, when Li Mingli opened his mouth to shout, Xu Ezhen held Cao Zhenyan in front of his chest, and then put his head on Cao Zhenyan's chest and abdomen, and rolled down like this.

"Ah......h

Cao Zhenyan, who seemed to be in a coma, let out a shout, short and eager, but unfortunately it was too late when Li Mingli saw it, and Xu Ezhen and Cao Zhenyan climbed down the dangerous slope together and rolled down the slope.

Li Mingli was at a loss in his heart, he wanted to scold, but he didn't know what it was good to scold, and he was surrounded by Jurchen armor soldiers, it is very likely that some of them knew Chinese, once he found out that he was insulting his master, even if he didn't behead him on the spot, there would be no good end after going downhill, he would be whipped at the lightest, and beheaded at the worst.

In the eyes of Xu Ezhen, in the eyes of these Jurchens, there may be no difference between the Han army and Baoyi, they are all used as cattle and horses in peacetime, can be used as cannon fodder in wartime, and can be used as sandbags in critical moments, at least to save the master's life.

Li Mingli suddenly wanted to cry and laugh, the Cao family tried their best, and Cao Zhenyan's hard work ended up like this?
