Text Chapter 1141 Mud
The cavalry of more than 800 men walked for a long time in the wetlands, and finally stepped onto the dry official road on the shore, where several obvious buildings were not far in front of them, quite conspicuous in the dim moonlight.
In front of the people is the low Yaozhou city wall, this acropolis is built according to the standard, the circumference is about three miles, much smaller than Shenyang and Liaoyang, but due to the geographical location is quite superior, compared to the Kaiyuan Wei Tielingwei in the north, the southernmost Jinzhou Wei is much more prosperous, and the number of Dingkou living is also quite dense, but everything is in the past, the current Yaozhou City is pitch black, there are almost no buildings under the moonlight, the original city wall of about four zhang high was demolished and only a city foundation more than one person high and a small amount of masonry, The whole city looked awkward, as if someone had stopped and slashed it.
Li Chengxian led more than 20 of his inner soldiers to walk at the front of the team, and after walking on the official road, all the cavalry mounted their horses, but they did not speed up their horses, and because it was a sneak attack, they did not light up with torches.
Liu Boqiao and Song Sheng walked on both sides of Li Chengxian with dozens of refugees with spears, bows and arrows, their task of leading the way has actually been completed, but these refugees have no intention of retreating, almost every refugee has a deep blood feud, this time with the army to attack Yaozhou, of course, to try to kill a few more Dongyu to avenge their relatives.
The team is a little chaotic, the main recruits have not experienced the midnight dispatch, and the run-in between the various departments is also very poor, there are often squads that collide together because of unequal speeds, and there are shouts and scolding from time to time.
The horses kept neighing, the people kept making noises, and the rustling of the iron armor leaves, this team of more than 800 people was simply the most conspicuous firefly in the night, and the light could be seen from afar and was discovered.
Lu Zhijia was in the Chinese army, surrounded by cavalry like iron cans, and there were more than 30 people in his family, constantly shouting and scolding to drive away the battalion soldiers who came closer.
Everywhere there was the sound of heavy breathing and the rustling of armor, as well as the sound of shouting and scolding, the nervous shouting of the guide, the sound of the rushing river behind him, and the occasional roar of a few wild beasts, but under the boiling human voice, almost all of them were muffled and could not be heard.
The guides are also dutiful, these people were originally fugitives and refugees, they secretly fished along both sides of the river for a living, the Jurchens were also strict about the fish resources in the river, and often Bashiku took people to secretly hunt and kill these fugitive fishermen, as long as they were caught, they were generally beheaded, these fugitive fishermen were very bold and wild, and they took the army from the ferry detour from the wetland area directly to the official road outside Yaozhou City, and the meritorious service was not small.
Lu Zhijia felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know why, he felt that it was caused by all the chaos in front of him...... The chaotic team, the chaotic command, there is too much noise around him, even if he, the adjutant general, gives the order now, the commanders and thousands of generals under him may not be able to receive the military order as soon as possible, let alone change the formation to meet the enemy.
At this time, Lu Zhijia felt that he was taking it for granted.
Everything is based on the premise that the Jurchens are completely ignorant and have no power to fight back, marching in the middle of the night, although they can sneak attack in the dark, but it also brings opportunities for the enemy to sneak attack themselves, as long as the intelligence is slightly wrong, it will be a disastrous result.
Lu Zhijia's face changed color, he stretched out his right hand, wanting to stop all the team and send sentry horses to reconnoiter along the city......
At this time, the arrow rang out.
The sound of the arrow was controlled by Tun Buru's own hands, and the old Jurchen man with white hair was still with a straight back and a blazing gaze.
Seeing a tall enemy general riding into a hundred steps away from the gate of Yaozhou, Tun Buru sneered, pulled the bowstring without hesitation, and shot an arrow!
The Ming army in front of him, in the eyes of the old Jurchen man, is a group of active prisoners and battle exploits on the ground, as long as you reach out and take it!
As soon as the arrow sounded, the originally quiet late night was like pouring a glass of water into a frying pan and suddenly boiling.
The fire was blazing, and hundreds of people suddenly appeared within the city walls, and in the sound of gongs and rumbling drums, more than three hundred people let out terrifying shouts, and then at least more than a hundred people shot their bows at the same time!
The sudden appearance of lights, violent and noisy sounds, and the rain of arrows that appeared out of thin air disturbed the Ming army's position at once.
Li Chengxian himself was not flustered, he was born in a family of generals, and as a general, he had experienced many battles, but at the critical moment, he stepped forward, calmly observed and shouted: "Don't panic, it's just some women and children!" ”
This seemed to have an effect, and many of the battalion soldiers who were panicking and trying to escape looked back, and sure enough, they could see that there were old men and women on the other side of the city wall, as well as teenagers who were not yet mature.
At this time, many people clamored, although these battalion soldiers lacked combat experience and will, but if they bullied women and children, they would be too underestimated.
At this time, the mutation started again, and suddenly there was a shout of killing from the left side of the road.
"A soldier, a Jurchen soldier!" One of the battalion soldiers' eyes widened, and he screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
Previous intelligence has always said that there are only women, children, old and weak in Yaozhou, where did these hellish armor soldiers come from?
In an instant, even a pioneer general like Li Chengxian was blank in his mind, not to mention those ordinary battalion soldiers.
Seven white armor rushed to the official road like tanks!
The splitting head is a burst of throwing weapons, such a close distance, only less than twenty steps, the axes and throwing spears that flew over took seven lives almost instantly, throwing at such a close distance, how could the level of these Jurchen white armor fail? Blood splattered, screaming and then abruptly stopped, being thrown by a heavy weapon, the person lost consciousness in pain in a few breaths, blood flowed in large quantities, and in a short time he didn't even have the strength to shout.
The ranks are in chaos!
At this time, there was no longer a division between the forward and the rear team, and the entire team of 800 people was in chaos.
Lu Zhijia couldn't move when the Chinese army was squeezed, and he saw more than 100 Jurchen armor rushing out from both sides of the road, and his mind was blank at first, and then there was uncontrollable anger.
Lu Zhijia said loudly: "What about Liu Boqi? What about Song Sheng? Someone, arrest these two spies for me. ”
Ordered, Lu Zhijia's Neiding began to search for the two students, but now there is chaos, there are soldiers in armor everywhere, everyone ignores the military order and wants to escape, no one dares to turn around and fight, the image of the Jurchen field invincible has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the sneak attacker has become the ambushed party, psychologically has collapsed, the mood of the recruits is like this, up and down, no experienced general can fully control it.
In the chaos, the two students in the refugees fled and disappeared, Lu Zhijia hated it so much that his fingers broke his palms.
At this time, he could only retreat, and the whole team kept fleeing behind him.
More than 800 people were chased by more than 100 people, and people were constantly cut off their horses, the fleeing people had armor more sophisticated than the pursuing enemy, the Jurchens only 50 armor, and less than 30 people wore iron armor, the rest were cotton armor or chain mail, the Ming army was an iron cavalry soldier, all wearing iron armor, the Ming Dynasty weakened, the border town was not enough to meet the military needs, the number of armor was not much, but in a few years, under the auspices of the old grandson, millions of silver a year were smashed down, the embarrassing situation in the early years of Liaozhen has already been fundamentally changed, it can be described as a shotgun for a cannon.
It's just that it's inconvenient to flee with heavy iron armor, and many battalion soldiers directly discard their weapons and run away with their bare hands.
Behind them were the shouts of the Jurchens, and there were constant screams, and the sound of bows and arrows collapsing, and then there was a "du", and then there was a scream, and someone was shot.
In such a dark night, being pursued by a ferocious enemy, the fear in everyone's hearts was put to the maximum, and at this time, no one could tell this group of routs to turn back and face the battle.
The soldiers kept running, many of them were thrown off their horses, and they fled on foot in heavy iron armor, and they were soon overtaken, hacked to death by swords and guns.
More people flocked to the muddy waterway, less than two miles from the water's water, but it was muddy and muddy during the high waters, full of living and rotten reeds, and aquatic weeds that entwined people's feet and legs.
People can only hear the heavy wheezing sound of their partners, smelling the fishy smell of mud between their noses, and walking forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, the iron armor on their bodies is their protection and pride, but at this time it has become a fatal thing, originally wading in the muddy water, the iron armor weighing dozens of pounds on the body is heavier than usual, and many armor soldiers began to untie the belt, thinking about taking off the armor.
The screams behind him became more and more intensive, and some people faintly heard some generals roaring angrily and calling everyone to resist, and some soldiers who still had weapons in their hands turned their heads hesitantly, and sure enough, they saw the tall and brave General Li with his family members and began to resist at the end.
Li Chengxian's horse had already run away, and after entering the wetland, the horses kept slipping, and the iron cavalry all dismounted and walked, and it would be even worse to fall.
Li Chengxian held the gun in his hand and began to shoot, he took the three-eyed gun unique to the Liao Zhen soldiers, and released it by hitting or burning the lead, he lit the lead, the three-eyed gun was fired in turns, and a projectile was shot when a hole was ignited, and later generations had a well-fed foreigner who did the test of the three-eyed gun, at a distance of about 20 steps, the lead shot out of the three-eyed gun could be hit into the wooden target very deeply, the sawdust flew sideways, and the projectile went deep into the bull's-eye.
The first shot hit a foot armor wearing cotton armor, the other party slammed for a moment, and then blood overflowed from the chest and abdomen, the Jurchen armor soldier stared and knelt in the muddy water, he was not seriously injured, there was a layer of cotton armor protection, the projectile did not penetrate the body deeply, but it was still fatal, because the wound would definitely be infected and cause a high fever, and it was almost hopeless in this era.
The second shot hit a Yu Ding wearing chain mail, a small man of about twenty, and this Yu Ding was holding a tiger. Tooth. The knife, the blade and the handle of the knife and Yu Ding's body were all covered with blood, and Li Chengxian hit him in the face with a bang, directly smashing the other party's face.
The third shot missed, and Li Chengxian didn't care, he pulled out his waist knife and began to swing and slash, accidentally falling into the mud puddle for a while.
There was a white armor staring at Li Chengxian like a beast, constantly looking for his flaws, of course it was impossible to let go of this time, he stepped forward and slashed with a knife, Li Chengxian's body fell crookedly, and it was too late to swing the knife to block.
