Chapter 181: Ignition
"It's over, it's over......" Zhou Daniu's words were already crying. This young man of Liaodong Zhongwei has a big waist and a round waist, which is a rare big man at that time, with thick and powerful arms, holding the whole log and being able to walk on his shoulders and walking, and his temper is good, when he first arrived at the barracks, he was bullied by the veteran oil, but fortunately, Yang Yi, a person who was born in the industry, became the leader of his team, so he was protected, thinking of the old mother and young son at home, Zhou Daniu cried out in danger.
Fighting and fighting these people are actually not afraid, they have to fight when they are soldiers, and there is a risk of losing their lives, but these soldiers, including Zhou Daniu, don't want to take such a meager monthly salary and the deducted money to fight this kind of inexplicable battle!
Cheng Fang sneered with red eyes: "Our chief officer, hey, hey." ”
Yang Yi's heart was also full of despair, this time the battle was inexplicable, and the death of the 20,000 brothers was also inexplicable, only the chief military officer who took them to the bottom of this Jilin cliff drank another round of wine at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
With such a Shangguan, do you want to send your life here inexplicably?
There was a buzzing sound everywhere, whether it was the Xuanfu soldiers or the Datong soldiers, or the Shaanxi soldiers, the Yansui soldiers, the Jizhen soldiers, the Liao Zhen soldiers, the soldiers of each town were speaking the same words with different accents, almost instantly, the morale of the Ming army was so low that it was unimaginable, if these more than 10,000 people were not the elite of the towns carefully selected by Juniper and Yang Hao, after knowing that the friendly army of Salhu was all destroyed, the Ming army here might have begun to break and flee.
"Don't run to the river for a while."
Xuanfu's Bai Zong was responsible for commanding this piece of soldiers, and after letting go of the pond horse, Bai Zong gathered his subordinates and said in a deep voice: "Everyone still has to fight hard, it is best to shoot away Jiannu, however, this battle is very hanging, people must still fight more and less, we are still desperate here, if we really can't stand it, everyone should not go to the river, if you go there, you will definitely die, run from here to the north of the mountain, drill the forest, Jiannu will not chase and kill too seriously, there is still our North Route Army over there, I reckon that the baggage camp would also go there, and that if anyone wanted to live, he had to go there. ”
After Mr. Bai finished speaking, he nodded and rode on his own.
Yang Yi looked around and said to everyone: "Did you hear it clearly?" ”
Zhou Daniu and Chengfang Li Mingli all nodded desperately, and Yang Yi said: "When you really want to lose, you go first, and Mingli and I have not become a family." ”
Li Mingli looked indifferent: "It's a crime to live in this year, and it's a hundred years old to really die, don't worry about Yang Tou'er, I will definitely follow you." ”
"Stop talking." Yang Yi sat down again, this time his heart was much calmer, and he said: "No matter what the top does, let's do our duty, and the bottom is left to fate." ”
……
Jilin Cliff is everywhere in chaos, just now was still in the offensive of the Ming army was constantly pressed down, to the dark, Jilin Cliff and the vicinity of the boundary domain city is full of black pressure Jurchen queues, but Juniper and others have found that there are very few Jurchen armor soldiers on the mountain, the total number will not exceed two thousand, most of them are ordinary bannermen without armor, but the number has far exceeded expectations, at first Juniper thought that there were only one or two thousand defenders here, he crossed the river with more than 10,000 elite soldiers, enough to quickly conquer Jilin Cliff and take the boundary domain city, As a result, there are more and more defenders of Jilin Cliff now, although the sky is dark, it is obvious that there are a large number of Jiannu from the other end of the foothills of Tiebei Mountain to the ridge, and then use strong bows and arrows to keep counterattacking, until the Ming army is defeated and retreated.
More cavalry poured out from the riverside, mountains and forests, valley mouths, and dense forests, the sun had completely set down the mountain, the sky was dusk, and the Ming army only heard the sound of horns and horns, and the dense army kept emerging, and at this time the fool also understood that the Ming army of Salhu was really finished, otherwise Jiannu had no way to mobilize a large army to come here without paying attention, judging from the number of troops, there were tens of thousands of people, plus one or two thousand people on Jilin Cliff and the iron back, it should be the Eight Banners and the whole banner here.
There was a passionate sound of drums and trumpets from the Chinese army, and then I saw General Du and more than a dozen generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, garrisons and other military attaches coming out of the Chinese army.
Then the cavalry gave orders, and the elites in iron armor and cotton armor were gradually mobilized to the foot of the Jilin Cliff.
Under the counterattack of these elite Ming troops, the offensive of the Eight Banners soldiers who came down from the mountain was gradually stifled, and the Ming army fought with them for more than ten formations, killed hundreds of people, and paid a considerable price for themselves, but only stopped the opponent's offensive, and the battle line of the Ming army was still maintained in the middle of the mountain, and it was still an impossible task to completely attack the cliff.
"Ignition, the chief officer ordered the ignition!"
The order was sent from the Chinese army again, and dozens of pond horses were sent everywhere, and at this time it was already dark, and the banner of the Ming army was useless, and Juniper ordered the whole army to light torches and prepare for a night battle.
In fact, it is impossible not to fight at night, the eight banners are all here, the number of troops is at least six times more than the Ming army, and from the river bank to the plain, and then to the mountain slopes, from the outside to the inside, from the top to the bottom, the Jurchen side not only has an absolute advantage in numbers, but also has a completely overwhelming advantage in terms of geographical advantages, as for the people and this thing, the direct point is to look at the morale, it is obvious that the side with high morale does not belong to the side of the Ming army.
At this time, if you don't dare to light a night battle, you have to fight between the two armies, and the Ming army, which has a small number of people, will die in a blur, and I am afraid that there will not be many people alive by dawn.
With Juniper's crazy character, it is better to be confused than to be clear, and the military order to ignite the fire is really normal.
"Fuck, what the fuck is this, Juniper is a fucking bale ......"
Yang Yi hurriedly opened the tinder jar, blew up the sparks, and then lit the Songming torch, not far away from the Xuanfu Town's Bai Zong was already scolding, Yang Yi listened attentively, it seems that Bai Zong complained that he could not light the fire in such a situation, and he could not use all his belongings to continue to attack Jilin Cliff, fight at night, do not ignite, fight until after dawn and wait for the opportunity, maybe the reinforcements can arrive, threatening the Jurchens behind them, such a little fire, everyone is dead.
The Bai Zong was wearing a six-grade military attache uniform, and when he scolded, a thousand generals came over to dissuade him, but after a few words of persuasion, even the Xuanfu Qian Zong also scolded together.
Fortunately, after a few words of scolding, the two military attachés extinguished the fire and began to shout at the soldiers to form a formation, ready to fight the enemy desperately.
The torches were lit one after another.
From the halfway slope to the flat valley, between the dense forests, there is the light of torches everywhere, the Ming army lit more than a thousand torches, the vast majority of the army are soldiers, there are also some auxiliaries and people, these people are responsible for holding torches to illuminate, and some wounded soldiers are also responsible for doing such things.
There was no light in the sky, the moon had not yet risen, the stars were obscured by dark clouds, and there seemed to be only the light of these torches between heaven and earth.
Under the bright light, the Jurchens on the hillside and around were clearly seen, and the military attachés at all levels kept drinking and ordering the fire guns to concentrate, and then the sound of fire guns sounding out in bursts.
The Ming army lit the firecracker, because it was the elite of the various departments mobilized, and the level of the firecracker was much higher than that of the firecracker in the Salhu Valley, and the firecracker kept being released in batches, mainly for the Houjin soldiers who came down from the Tiebei Mountain, the fire light of the gun's mouth kept hitting the hillside and the dense forest, the weeds and dead branches in the woods were constantly splashing and falling, and under the firelight, there was mud and the residual snow that was left in the air to fly into the air, Yang Yi looked there, and felt that he was in a particularly strange space, everything in front of him, It seems that in a particularly peculiar and magnificent dream, on such a battlefield where his fate is fleeting, a smile actually appeared on his face.
The Jurchens' horns seemed to sound again, and in the darkness it felt like thousands of troops and horses were moving, everywhere there were horses' hooves, people's shouts, horns and military orders sounded one after another, the Jurchens were constantly mobilizing troops and adjusting their attack positions, while the Ming army continued to attack the dark with light, attacking the enemy with fire guns who did not know how many people were in the shadows.
At this time, I am afraid that the soldiers from Juniper to the bottom are extremely regretful, if Juniper did not rush forward, the baggage battalion marched with him, with the more than 100 big guns and Franc machines, as well as those carts swinging in formation, and kept shooting at these enemies with cannons and Franc machines, at this time, what kind of results would be created?
The Jurchens finally began to attack.
The sound of the collapsing bowstring continued to sound, there were countless people shooting arrows in the night, the Ming army was in the light, the Jurchens were in the dark, the Ming army was simply a ready-made target in the eyes of people, the arrows in the sky were dense enough to be seen very clearly by the light of the torches, the arrows flew by, making a rustling sound in the air, just like when the dense forest was blown by the wind, the heavy arrows kept falling, hitting the targets under the torches, from the heads, necks, chests, backs, arms, thighs, feet, There are heavy arrows that shoot the human body, the Ming army that was shot let out a burst of miserable screams, some of the screams are short, that is the person who was shot at the point, almost did not suffer any pain and died, someone was shot in the thigh, arm, the cry was long and powerful, the strong-willed screamed a few times and then gritted their teeth and continued to fight, and the person who was shot in the chest or abdomen, they kept screaming, and then moaned, and then made a dying sound of pouring gas.
A small number of horses of the Ming army were also shot a lot, the horses jumped in the rain of arrows, and their bodies kept hitting arrows, making a loud noise, people didn't care about them, and the unguarded war horses were running around in the formation.
More Ming infantry began to take the initiative to attack, Xuanfu soldiers, Datong soldiers, Qin troops in the northwest, their will is extremely strong and firm, and their fighting skills are also excellent, under the leadership of a hundred and thousands of general officers, these ordinary battalion soldiers burst out of an extremely firm will, they pounced on the valley in the east, where there is a large area of land, and the Jurchens gathered the most, and the battalion soldiers are mixed with some horseback families, they are led by guerrilla generals or generals, forming a sharp assault formation, and soon engage with the Jurchens, followed by the sound of tooth-aching blades adding to each other's metal.
