Chapter 388: Songshan Resistance Battle (7)
Under the leadership of Azig, the Houjin White Armor soldiers launched a merciless slaughter against the remaining pikemen on the second line of defense of the Ming army.
The white-armored soldiers of the two white flags suffered a loss at the hands of these pikemen yesterday and fled in embarrassment, which directly led to the failure of the Houjin attack, so that the Ming army was crushed all the way down the high slope, and finally drove them all out of the first line of defense.
Therefore, the remaining white-armored soldiers of the two white flags saw the enemy all taking their lives at this moment, and the long knives in their hands were ruthlessly waving towards them.
Soon, the pikemen camp was breached, and almost no one was able to retreat alive from the second line of defense.
The sword and shield battalion guarding Tashan Fort saw all this, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone's hearts were dripping blood, those were their robed brothers, at this time they could only watch them being slaughtered by Houjin, if it weren't for the order from the upper peak, they would have rushed down to kill the enemy to the death.
Du Si Lu Bing stood in front of the formation at this moment, pointed to the second line of defense, and shouted at the soldiers: "You have all seen it! ”
The soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion all showed sad and indignant expressions, following the direction of his fingers, staring deadly ahead.
"These people are our robed brothers, and they are all our compatriots!" Lu Bing gritted his teeth and continued, "They would rather die than take a step back, and they swear to die to live and die with the position, just to buy time for the firecrackers and us." At this moment, Lord Jinglusun is in the fort, as long as the third line of defense is lost, then the enemy can rush into Tashan Fort! ”
When Lu Bing said this, he shouted loudly and said, "You tell me loudly, what should I do now?" ”
The sword and shield soldiers scrambled and shouted, "Never let the Tartars set foot in Tower Hill Fort!" ”
"Swear to defend Lord Jinglu to the death!"
"If the Tartars want to enter Tower Hill Fort, they have to step on our corpses!"
Seeing that his morale was mobilized, Lu Bing said loudly: "What you said is right, you must not let the Tartars set foot in Tashan Fort." If the adults have not flinched, we must not flinch. Today, let the Tartars know the strength of our Guanning army, and know that our Ming Dynasty is not invincible! ”
"Da Ming is mighty!" The sword and shield soldiers boiled over, and their morale reached its peak.
Lu Bing is right, Liaodong has been fighting for many years, and he has never dared to go to the front line with the soldiers.
Soon, the white-armored soldiers on the second line of defense rushed towards the top of the slope.
As the pikemen and crossbowmen had bought a lot of time for the musketeers in the tunnel, they were already ready in the tunnel, waiting for the white armor to charge.
"Bang Bang Bang" As the enemy came into range, the Musketeers fired a final salvo.
Thousands of firecrackers took turns firing, bursts of smoke rose from the fire, and the white-armored soldiers fell down with the sound of firecrackers. But they also knew that this should be the last fire of the Ming army, so they still screamed and rushed towards the high slope.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Lu Bing yelled at the soldiers on the defensive line.
"Choke!" The sound of long knives coming out of their sheaths came and went, and the sword and shield soldiers drew out their swords one after another, and even those firecrackers abandoned their knives one after another, picked up their long knives and prepared to fight the enemy.
At a glance, the cold light flickered on the third line of defense, and thousands of Yanling knives were raised high, waiting for the moment when the enemy stepped on the third line of defense.
The golden-white-armored soldiers rushed up the high slope at a high speed, but the V-shaped long trenches in front of the slope stopped their onslaught, and their formation had to slow down.
"Kill the Tartars!" Lu Bing shouted and slashed at a white-armored soldier who had just crossed the long trench.
The soldiers of the Sword and Shield Battalion had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they had already been surging with fighting spirit, and at this time, they also waved the Yanling knife in their hands and slashed at the enemy.
The two sides exploded at the first touch, and immediately fell into a bloody battle.
For a while, blood was soaring, and the shouts of battle were heard throughout the sky, and the entire top of the Songshan slope suddenly became a hell on earth, and people on both sides kept falling, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the corpses soon filled the howling pit half-full.
The hour passed little by little, the sun had turned to Zhongtian, the howling pit on the third ring fortification was finally filled under the accumulation of corpses, and the charge of the white armor soldiers was also stopped by the stubborn resistance of the Ming army, and the white armor soldiers who rushed to the front were killed, but at the same time, the Ming army paid the price of nearly a thousand people.
On the second line of defense, Azig regrouped the retreating white-armored soldiers, intending to charge again. Since the Ming army no longer has the natural help of the long trench, there is no doubt that their next charge will be able to crush the Ming army.
At the top of the slope, Lu Bing was already in tattered armor and covered with scars, and was making the final mobilization of the remaining Ming army: "Although we have suffered great losses, the Tartars still have losses, and today is the last day to defend Songshan, none of you should embarrass me, Lord Jingliu is watching from behind!" ”
Lu Bing almost roared and shouted, "As long as we can survive today, the Ningyuan army will come, and then it will be the death of the Tartars." Soldiers, bravely kill the enemy, now is the time to prove the strength of our Guanning army, Lord Jingluo will definitely report to the court, to the emperor, our achievements today will definitely spread throughout the Ming Dynasty! ”
"No!" Thousands of people responded in unison, and the sound shook the earth.
"While the enemy's formation is not stable, brothers, kill the enemy with me!" Lu Bing pointed the long knife forward and shouted.
"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" Once again, the sword and shield soldiers were aroused to their blood.
"Rush!" Lu Bing shouted, and the first one took the lead and rushed down the slope.
"Rush!" The Ming army was boiling, and all of them followed him and rushed towards the enemy on the second line of defense.
Next to Tashan Fort, Wu Wenyao, who saw all this in his eyes, was stunned, and said to Zhao Shu: "I didn't expect Lu Dusi to launch a counter-charge against the Tartars!" ”
Zhao Shujiao slapped his palm on the broken wall beside him, and the bricks and stones shook, and said: "Lu Dusi is my brave general of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, a herald suddenly rushed to shout: "Lord Yu, Lord Jinglu took Deng Dusi to the tunnel!" ”
"What?" Zhao Shujiao was taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it. The plan was to let Deng Ju lead people to sneak from the tunnel to the enemy's side to launch a surprise attack, but he didn't expect Lord Sun to go in person. Sun Yueling is a Liaodong economic strategy, and he is an important minister in the court, how can he let him take risks in person, if something goes wrong, it is not a joke.
"I'm going to chase after Master Sun!" Zhao was in a hurry, so he was going back.
Wu Wenyao stopped him and said, "Dashuai, you are needed more here." Master Jingluo's martial arts are extraordinary, so you don't need to worry too much. ”
Zhao Shujiao frowned, and finally said, "Take your people and follow me to support Lu Bing." ”
——
In front of the second line of defense, the white flag lord Azig saw that the Ming army actually launched a counter-charge against them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a sneer, the Ming army was obviously exhausted, otherwise it would be impossible to play this way - the biggest effect of the counter-charge is to delay time, but no matter how much the Ming army delayed, it was useless, there were countless soldiers rushing behind them, and then it would be a war of annihilation, and these Ming troops would be harvested by them like mustard.
Azig was so angry that he stood in front of the team, pointed his knife at the Ming army that was rushing downhill, and shouted: "Kill Mingnu!" ”
The white-armored soldiers behind him also shouted loudly, and the crowd was excited. The behavior of the Ming army has completely angered them, and the Ming army, which has been pressed and beaten by them in the past, now dares to charge against them, and it is also a charge against the most elite white armor soldiers, which is simply an insult to them.
So under the leadership of Azig, they rushed head-on to the Ming army that rushed down and rushed away.
Soon, the teams of the two sides collided together.
"Bang bang", the sound of broken bones and long knives hitting sounded intensively, and the group of people who rushed to the front on both sides immediately paid a heavy price.
Because the Ming army was condescending to launch a charge, and it was taking advantage of the unstable formation of the white-armored soldiers, they had a slight upper hand in this impact, and actually broke out of several gaps in Houjin's formation, making it difficult for them to take care of each other.
Azig was furious, when did the Ming army become so strong, which was completely different from the Ming army in his previous impression. But at this time, he couldn't manage so much, roared, broke into the formation of the Ming army with a knife, and cut down four enemies in a row - this battle was a battle of his honor, and he could not afford to lose, for this battle he did not hesitate to charge personally, and he must take Tashan Fort.
Azig's combat power is considered to be the best among the younger generation of the Houjin, at least much more powerful than Haoge and Yue Tuo's generation, and under his impact, the Ming army was put down by many people.
His bravery also immediately attracted the attention of the commanders and generals of the Ming army, and several thousands of generals surrounded him, wanting to kill the leader of the Tartars who rushed to the forefront in one fell swoop, and some people even found out from his clothes and armor that he was the banner master Azig with a white flag.
Soon, the focus of the battle between the two sides became a battle centered on Azig and the generals of the Ming army, and wave after wave of people gathered in this direction.
Lu Bing, the capital of the sword and shield battalion, also killed in the circle at this moment, and when he found that the other party's general was indeed Azig, he couldn't help but be even more excited, and shouted: "Whoever kills Azig will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver!" Encouraged by him, many people rushed towards Azig's location.
But Azig is obviously not alone, he has long been surrounded by a lot of leaders, guards and the like, surrounding this commander and fighting fiercely with the Ming army.
Although the Ming army occupied the advantage at the beginning, the white armor soldiers really deserved to be the elite division of the Later Jin, gradually suppressed the momentum of the Ming army, and gradually reversed the past, completely curbing the offensive of the Ming army.
Seeing that it was not good, Lu Bing resolutely gave an order and shouted: "Everyone don't fall in love with the battle, retreat into the defense line!" "Their counter-charge is to slow down the Tartars' offensive and kill them by surprise, if they are consumed like this, it will definitely be more than worth the loss. Now that the goal has been achieved, this is the best time to retreat.
Under his orders, all the Ming troops retreated while the enemy encirclement had not yet been formed, and headed for the third line of defense. The white armor soldiers were obviously helpless against the retreat of the Ming army, so they could only spread their anger on the Ming army who could not retreat, and a burst of random knives cut down, taking away the lives of many Ming soldiers.
"How dare you fight with my golden warriors!" Azig cursed hatefully, thrust the long knife into the soil, and watched the Ming army retreat like this.
