Section 216 Initial Victory (3)
Weining Haizi north of the bloody battlefield, the Mongolian cavalry full force to storm the Fengzhou army infantry formation, surrounded a large and small infantry circle formation, shouting and throwing away the arrow rain, and the Xinghe infantry also responded with the rain of arrows, both sides are not many armored, the arrow casualties are numerous, and the Mongolian cavalry horse speed can not go up, riding on the horse is simply a live target, the loss is greater, and they have to dismount and fight, in this way, the fear of the cavalry Xinghe Qingzhuang frightened a little, under the command of the officer, also began to crush the opponent with the friendly neighbor's infantry formation, the two sides are staggered, Besieging each other, shouting and screaming loudly.
Xing and Wei Shi Hui Deng held a big knife in their hands, stared at an officer covered in blood in front of him with blood-red eyes, and scolded in a low voice: "Others are still fighting bloodily, what are you doing when your nineteenth brigade comes back?" Take your people back and kill them again! ”
"Big brother, we have been crushed, there are only so many people left, they are all brothers from Yansui, let's take a breath......" The captain of the 19th Brigade pleaded with a wail, and before he could finish speaking, Hui Dengxiang's knife had already stabbed him in the chest.
"Brother, I'm sorry," Hui Dengxiang watched his little fellow townsman slowly fall, holding a knife and shouting to the deserters, "My Fengzhou Army has its own 'Seven Kills Order', and if you don't die before the battle, you will die after the battle, brothers, behind the father, mother-in-law, and dolls are watching, we have no way to retreat, follow me to kill the Tartars." ”
Hui Dengxiang erected his own banner and led hundreds of brothers of the 19th Brigade back to the battlefield, and several separate infantry formations discovered their own banner and immediately approached him, and the Mongols in the middle were besieged and crushed to pieces. Peng Dashunxue, the squadron leader of the 19th Brigade, was ashamed, and rushed out of his own camp with his soldiers, killing one Mongolian Baturu, and was immediately temporarily designated as the captain by Hui Dengxiang. As more and more people came together, Huidenxiang took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the Mongol departments were forced to mobilize troops to block it, and the pressure of Zhang Yichuan, who was besieged, suddenly decreased, and he also played a garrison flag to join his friends and neighbors, and Huidenxiang flanked the Mongols together, and the two teams got closer and closer, and the Xinghe infantry seemed to have hope of being connected again.
The infantry formation of the Fengzhou army was broken, but there was no sign of defeat, but gathered into an infantry circle of thousands of people and hundreds of people to continue to resist, the infantry formation became smaller but more stable and flexible, but the Mongol divisions dispersed their forces in order to divide the other side, obviously occupying the advantage but there was no way to eat the opponent, and the consumption of troops also rose sharply. Azig couldn't sit still, waved his hand and ordered Bai Jia to go up with him to help in the battle - Elu's people are too resilient, not only far more than the Ming army, but also compared with the Zhushen soldiers, he is fighting a war of attrition, and if he continues to fight like this, the Mongolian tribes will definitely not be able to hold on, and he may be the one who will be defeated and flee at that time.
Azig personally went into battle, and the Mongol tribes seemed to have regained their courage and shouted to go up to fight, and the white-armored soldiers lived up to their reputation, and a few people were able to make a gap in the Fengzhou army's infantry formation, and then the Mongols swarmed in to break the opponent. The opponent's offensive was wave after wave, and the infantry formation that Hui Dengxiang and Zhang Yichuan had finally gathered was broken again, and the infantry formation of the brigade could no longer be maintained, so it could only be desperately supported by the squadron infantry formation, and the call for help sounded again.
"The time has come to fight hard, the eighteenth and twenty-two brigades will press up, gritting their teeth and entanglement with the Jin army." Liu Xingzuo no longer hesitated, picked up the war knife and walked forward, Man Dahai shouted, and followed behind with Yuan Lie and Fei Yangwu.
More than 1,800 fresh troops of the two brigades were thrown into the battlefield, and the Fengzhou army, which had been pressed back step by step, got a chance to breathe, and took the opportunity to gather the remnants of the army and fight hard, and the battlefield became even more bloody.
The right flank was a little easier, but it could only barely protect itself, and the Chahars had a slight advantage in strength compared to the Mongolian Horqin and other divisions led by Lao Oba, but there were only 3,000 horsemen and cavalry, and the other 2,000 people could only fight on foot. Oba made full use of the cavalry advantage, surrounded the Chahars, and only attacked the other party with bows and arrows, he was not in a hurry, Azig would defeat the Fengzhou infantry sooner or later, this group of Chahars would not attack themselves, they were all young and strong, and he was reluctant to kill them.
The Chahar people are not afraid of the Horqin people, Sanghar Village and Tuba organized several cavalry assaults, all easily repelled the rebellion, but as soon as the cavalry left, the chaotic infantry was immediately beaten by the Horqin cavalry and almost collapsed, Darhan and Martyr's Rite had to come back to rescue the infantry, after repeated several assault failures, Sanhaerzhai and Tuba were discouraged, and they did not dare to attack, and they could not retreat, so they had to continue to stalemate with the Horqin people, waiting for the development of the Fengzhou army, but the distress cry from the left flank from time to time made them tremble.
Li Yu's Fengzhou cavalry has always been in a stalemate with the Mongol battalion, and the left-wing infantry has shown signs of defeat, and if they continue to fight, they may be defeated, and once the Fengzhou army is defeated, the Chahar people will also be finished - Gunchuk was weak in his heart, and secretly fled with a few cronies. Tooson was wearing armor all over his body and was leading his men to shoot arrows at the Korqin people, when he heard what he said, he became angry, and a slap was slapped in the face.
"Stupid, Brother Khan ran away, we will rely on Li Yucha, a powerful brother-in-law, in the future, you have run away now, how can you see him in the future?" Tyson retorted.
"I don't take refuge in him, he beat me with a whip, and besides, Gonchuk threw you off and ran away, and we can't wait here to die." Ji Tu said angrily.
"He beats you and is also our brother-in-law, we have to take care of him if we have no food, if you run away, the people and livestock are gone, who will pity you? Besides, we haven't been defeated yet, maybe reinforcements are coming, Gonchuk that idiot just let him run, the old lady wishes he didn't come back. Tayson replied sharply.
"So what are we going to do? I can't wait stupidly, I am the man in the family, I definitely can't surrender, Jin Guo can't spare me. Covering his face, he asked.
"Won't you go to help your brother-in-law?" Tai Song was still hesitating when he saw the map, pointed at this stupid guy and said, "I don't really want you to work hard, just make it out and let Li Yucha know, it's easier if you don't want to surrender, in case Fengzhou is defeated, you can run while you're in chaos." ”
Oba suddenly realized, asked Sanghar Village and Tuba for help, and volunteered to take a battalion of Darhan cavalry out of the big formation, and ran towards Li Yu's iron cavalry, of course Oba would not let him go, and immediately sent troops to intercept him, and Bontu commanded Darhan and Korqin cavalry to fight together, and shouted and shot a few arrows, making the movement loud, and even pulling and pulling Darhan back, and the Chahar cavalry swarmed back and shrunk back.
On the battlefield, the Xinghe infantry struggled to support, the Chahar people were passive and self-preservation, and Li Yu's Fengzhou iron cavalry was also entangled by the Mongolian battalion of Wunag - the Mongolian battalion was composed of Mongolian elites who were organized into the Eight Banners, and most of the officers were old horse thieves who had followed Wunag, and their combat power was very strong. Wu Nag hated Li Yu who had humiliated him, and attacked with all his strength as soon as he came up, but he soon learned the power of the Flying Tiger Cavalry, this Li Yu's personal guard cavalry was well-equipped, one person and two horses, everyone could shoot a stone bow, and the Mongolian battalion had not yet approached, and was shot by a rain of arrows from the Flying Tiger Cavalry - the Mongolian cavalry was wearing cotton armor with iron sheets, and it was impossible to block the sharp arrows shot by the opponent's strong bow, and the arrows shot by the Mongolian battalion from a long distance were difficult to shoot through the opponent's leather armor inlaid with iron sheets. The Flying Tiger Battalion opened the way with a rain of arrows, and rushed to kill without fear, and the Mongolian battalion was terrified, so it had to retreat step by step, and Wu Nag himself was hit by two arrows, but fortunately he was not seriously injured in iron armor.
Wu Nag was a veteran of the battlefield, and soon came up with a countermeasure, dividing the Mongol battalion into two routes, one way to entangle the Flying Tiger cavalry at any cost, and the other way to attack the Xinghe cavalry in a roundabout way. His method really worked, the elite of the Xinghe cavalry was replenished into the battalion, and the remaining armor was less than thirty percent, most of them were still Han people in Guannei, and their riding and archery ability was much worse than that of the Mongolian cavalry who had been with horses since childhood, and the command of the cavalry was also longer than the Haishan of the infantry battle, this cavalry was not the opponent of the Mongolian battalion at all, and 1,500 people were crushed into a ball by a thousand Mongolian cavalry. Haishan was red-eyed, jumped off his horse and shot down several enemy horsemen in a row with his bow, but he was obviously unable to stop the rolling iron horsemen alone, and the guards desperately dragged him onto the horse and fled, so he did not die under the horse's hooves, but the Xinghe cavalry was also thrown into chaos.
Li Yu was taking the Flying Tiger Cavalry to kill to the fullest, hearing the call for help from the Xinghe cavalry, he had to abandon the defeated enemy cavalry, and hurried back to the rescue, and the two Mongolian cavalry battalions also immediately met, and continued to fight around the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry - the method is still the same old, the Flying Tiger Cavalry will dodge as soon as it attacks, and take the opportunity to attack the Xinghe cavalry, and when the Flying Tiger Cavalry retreats, they will immediately surround and entangle, Li Yu's Flying Tiger Cavalry is too few to control the battlefield, Wu Nag used this set of horse thief tactics to almost trap the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry.
Xinghe infantry kept sounding the cry for help, Li Yu was anxious when he heard it, and after a brief discussion with Haishan, he took the Flying Tiger to ride directly to kill Wu Nag's Da Xu, Wu Nag turned his head and ran. As soon as Li Yu left on the front foot, another cavalry of the Mongolian battalion killed the Xinghe cavalry again, Haishan simply dismounted the whole army and formed a formation, blocking and attracting the opponent with foot shooting, and after Li Yu pursued Wunag Wuli, he suddenly abandoned it and retreated at full speed, just to intercept more than 300 enemy cavalry attacking Haishan, and drove them into the encirclement of Xinghe cavalry to kill at will, and the Flying Tiger cavalry spread a net against the Mongolian battalion. Wu Nag was ruthless enough, seeing that these more than 300 people were slaughtered, he would never get close to the Flying Tiger Cavalry, and he fought more precisely, staring at the Xinghe cavalry, but he didn't pounce easily, Li Yu couldn't hit him, and he didn't dare to go, but fell into a stalemate.
When Li Yu was helpless, Azig was also having a headache, he had the advantage of the Fengzhou infantry, but he couldn't defeat the other party - the infantry formation of the Fengzhou army was constantly broken, but the scattered people did not escape, or joined other infantry formations, or formed a new infantry formation, and even dozens of stragglers were forming formations to continue to resist, it seemed that if they were not killed, they would continue to fight, but it was not easy to kill five or six thousand people, an easy defeat battle turned into a war of attrition, and the sharpness of the Mongolian tribes disappeared little by little, Azig was skeptical that he would be able to win in the end.
The counterattack of the Xinghe infantry never stopped, and here the counterattack was broken, and another place immediately popped up - the Toyosu army was an army that started with cavalry, and the aggressiveness of cavalry had penetrated into the bones of every officer, whether he was infantry or artilleryman.
The counterattack of the eighteenth and twenty-two brigades did not take long to collapse, and the biggest loss they suffered was to meet a group of white armor, these guys are really powerful, they can still walk like flying in heavy armor, and their strength is amazing, two or three can open the gap in the infantry formation with each other, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed along the gap, and the infantry of the two brigades was broken, Liu Xingzuo and Man Dahai were also scattered, and the small team of 2,000 people was scattered into more than a dozen infantry formations to fight for each other.
"Crazy Yuan, if you are not seriously injured, can you still fight?" Liu Xingzuo carried the knife that was still dripping blood, and hurriedly found Yuan Lie, the captain of the 18th Brigade, who was sitting on the ground to bandage his wounds.
"It's okay, the Tartars attacked too hard just now, my people are all dead, find me ten more people, the **** white armor is not easy to fight." Yuan Lie waved his hand indifferently, he was born in the Yulin military, learned martial arts since childhood, was brave and ruthless, known as Yuan Maniac, once served as the general of the official army, and became a deserter on the way to King Qin, who had nowhere to go, he simply became a thief, and he also became a small leader, and also went to Fengzhou after accepting Zhao'an, because he had a good relationship with Qin Hu and Ma Danian's group of Yulin fellow villagers, and was recommended to Xinghewei as a captain.
The Jin army's attack just now was very fierce, five or six white-armored soldiers took the lead, and nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry besieged Liu Xingzuo's infantry formation of four or five hundred people, and once almost broke through the infantry formation. Yuan Lie couldn't give up after eating the loss of the white armor of the Jin Kingdom, and found more than a dozen fierce soldiers who were not afraid of death, and when he saw the white armor that broke into the formation, he attacked it in a group, fought all the soldiers under him, killed three white armor, and the firecrackers also killed a white armor, and the Mongols were afraid, so they retreated.
Liu Xingzuo carefully looked at Yuan Lie's wounds, and the flesh and flesh knife wounds were not too serious, so he said with confidence: "A Niu Lu two or three hundred men in the Jin Kingdom can only pick out ten white armors, which is naturally very strong, but such soldiers die one less than one, we killed four in one go, Azig must be distressed to death, you rest for a while, I will take the lead for you." ”
"Forget it, there's no place to rest here, I'll keep fighting." Yuan Lie waved his hand and replied.
Han Lin was wearing armor and limping with a spear, Liu Xingzuo personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and he insisted on following behind, to be honest, only following Liu Xingzuo is the safest now.
"We have lost more than a hundred people, are we going to fight?" Han Lin asked sadly.
"Fight, keep fighting, don't die, if they don't attack us, we will attack them," Liu Xingzuo glanced at the sky and said confidently, "The sun is in the west, our reinforcements may arrive at any time, pounce on them and entangle them, and not a single beast can be released." ”
Liu Xingzuo launched a counterattack, and the Mongolian cavalry fought together, a rapid trumpet came from the southeast in the distance, not a call for help, but a rallying call, Liu Xingzuo listened for a while, and said excitedly: "This is Lao Man's trumpet, he must have caught the fat sheep, played my command to make the banner, blew the rallying trumpet to call the surrounding friendly troops, and immediately moved closer to Lao Man, the Mongols were exhausted, get rid of them and advance to the southeast." ”
Liu Xingzuo's banner was raised, and he immediately got a response from the surrounding infantry formations, Hui Dengxiang and Zhang Yichuan also sounded the rallying call, and the remnants of the soldiers on the battlefield re-mustered up their morale and attacked the Mongols who had no intention of fighting.
Mandahai did catch the fat sheep, and collided with the red-eyed Azig in the chaos, and the two sides were surprised when they fought, Azig was a strong white-armored soldier and the slave soldiers of the Mongolian nobles, and half of the Feiyangwu brigade on the Mandahai side was a Zhushen fugitive, and the enemies of the same clan were very red when they saw each other, and they did not die or ceased to fight together, and the fierceness of their fighting frightened the Mongolian slave soldiers. Fei Yangwu shouted revenge and rushed towards Azig's Daxu desperately, and the Zhushen soldiers then also fought with the white armor. Seeing this, Mandahai was overjoyed - he killed the beast Azig, so that the old thief Nurhachi, who had destroyed the Yehe tribe, died peacefully, and he immediately ordered to blow the rallying horn to call for friendly troops, and he led his guards to rob the Mongols' war horses and pounced on Azig in a swarm. The battlefield was completely chaotic, the Xinghe soldiers abandoned their infantry and did not defend, and they all besieged Azig with red eyes, the Mongols were frightened, and they had to be unlucky if something happened to Azig, and they did their best to stop the Xinghe soldiers who did not want to die. Seeing that the situation was not good, the white-armored soldiers wanted to escort Azig to retreat, but Azig made a mistake, not only refused to take a step back, but also took the knife and went into battle in person, and the white-armored soldiers had to follow the master to fight hard, but there were too few of them - Azig only brought more than 100 white armor from Niu Lu this time, and more than 20 of them had been damaged from noon to now, and the remaining 100 white armor were more and more difficult to deal with the opponents who kept pounced.
Man Dahai rushed to the front, Ye He's old warrior was not afraid of the white armor of the Jin Kingdom, he had already killed three white armor soldiers under his knife, and killed a bloody road straight to Azig who was wearing dazzling armor, and kept shouting in Zhushen dialect: "Azig, get out of here, your grandfather who is a mountain tiger is going to kill you." ”
"Old thief, you go to die!" Enraged, Azig slapped his horse and rushed over, swinging his sword at Mandahai.
Both of them roared, and the two knives collided together with a piercing sound, and then the two horses staggered, so full of sea, and leaned back to avoid a white-armored war knife, and the long knife in his hand swept towards Azig again, Azig suddenly felt a cold air attacking, and immediately leaned over to dodge, and the big knife slashed through his back and cut off his helmet. Azig turned pale, turned his horse's head and looked, Man Dahai was holding a big knife and killing him again, three white armor shouted to meet him, Azig was annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Shoot him, shoot this old thief!" ”
Man Dahai had already cut down one of the white armors, and was about to grab time to kill the other two, when a dense rain of arrows struck, and the two white armors in front of him were immediately shot down by random arrows, "Kill Azig!" Mandahai roared and threw his long knife at Azig, then fell on his back with arrows stuck in his body.
