Chapter 40: Breaking the Siege (2)

The battle outside the security city has been decided, the officers and soldiers are scattering and fleeing, and the thieves are excitedly expanding their gains. And the leaders of Jinding Mountain also came to Shen Yikui's side to test the head, and Du Wenhuan's death was great news for them. It's just that they soon find out that this good news is not true.

"This is not Du Wenhuan at all, where is Du Wenhuan? I'm going to chase him, Xiucai should be chasing him. After Fan Shunjiang defeated the Ming army around him with Zhang Mengjin, Ru Chengming and others who followed later, he immediately ran to Shen Yikui's side. After wiping the head held by Shen Yikui, Fan Shunjiang, who had examined it carefully, scolded angrily.

Shen Yikui found out that he had won, so he didn't care about Fan Shunjiang's tone at this time, he laughed and said: "How do I know who Du Wenhuan is, I just found a head and smeared it with blood, and the surrounding officials and soldiers actually believed it." What a bunch of fools, hahaha. ”

Fan Shunjiang ignored the big boss, he drove his horse to the pile of captured Ming soldiers, grabbed them one by one and asked where Du Wenhuan was. Zhang Zhaoen and Zhou Shaoteng also grabbed the captured Ming soldiers and kept asking questions, and from time to time there were Ming prisoners wailing under their rude fists and feet.

At this time, Zhang Mengjin finally completed the pursuit and returned to his brothers. When he learned that his brother's whereabouts were unknown, he anxiously looked around at the corpses lying on the ground to see if any of them were his brother. Zhang Mengguang, Cai Xiaozi and others, who came back one after another, also continued to question the prisoners and look through the corpses on the ground after learning the news.

At this time, in the north of Baoan City, He Huchen, the chief soldier of Ningxia Town, once again repelled the joint assault of the Mongol cavalry archers and the rogue troops. The opponent's sharpness has been almost grinded, while his own morale is quite strong.

In front of the position held by He Huchen, there were already dozens of enemy corpses. According to He Huchen's knowledge of the nomadic cavalry, these Mongols would choose to retreat after a few more attacks at most. They will not always attack strong fortifications, and their victory should come soon.

He Huchen's reverie about victory did not last long, and his subordinates in the rear appeared in front of him at this time, leading several of the routs of Yansui Town. He Huchen looked at these embarrassed allies and asked uneasily, "Whose subordinates are you, and how did you come to me?" ”

This group of people cried to He Huchen and complained that after a rogue cavalry team entered the Ming army under the security city, the Ming army besieging the city had been defeated. And Du Wenhuan heard that he was dead, and the other Ming generals didn't know where to run.

He Huchen was furious when he heard this, and it was clear that the rogue reinforcements that came from Ningsai, including the Mongols, were blocked by him. How could there be a rogue cavalry to raid the officers and troops under the security city, He Huchen concluded that these people were all spies, and directly ordered the execution of several people.

Amid the cries and begs for mercy from several of the defeated soldiers, the rear team sent someone to report again. At this time, the rear team found the Liukou's men and horses in the rear of the officers and soldiers of Ningxia Town, and it turned out that Shen Yikui's subordinates had chased and killed here. He Huchen was now in a situation where he was under the enemy's back, and He Huchen, who realized that the overall situation had been decided, hurriedly issued an order to let his officers and troops prepare to retreat.

But at this time, the Mongol cavalry archers in front of them and the reinforcements of Ninsai had also noticed the change in the tide of battle. Unexpectedly, they did not give up the opportunity, so they patiently took advantage of the moment when the officers and soldiers carried the camp to launch a surprise attack again, and the Shenyi Kui troops in the rear team also took advantage of this opportunity to attack.

The soldiers of Ningxia Town led by He Huchen could not resist the front and rear attacks, and they could not resist for long before a gap appeared in the formation. What followed was a massive breakthrough of the enemy's army, and a great rout of his own troops without any suspense.

When Huang Youcai and Guan Zhiqing led their subordinates to end the pursuit and led the team to Baoan City, they happened to meet Zhang Mengcheng and Liu Jin, who were returning to the camp.

Liu Jin walked up to Huang Youcai excitedly, and laughed without scruples: "The famous Du Wenhuan is nothing remarkable. In the end, he couldn't resist my three knives, so he directly let me chop it. ”

Time back to Zhang Mengcheng and others to break into Du Wenhuan's Chinese army, when Zhang Mengcheng and Zhang Zhaoen killed Du Wenhuan together, Du Wenhuan was indeed shocked by the enemy who quickly arrived. He hurriedly ran away from the banner and soon mounted his own mount.

And Du Wenhuan's family members are also very dedicated, and they directly stopped Zhang Mengcheng and others who broke in. In a fight, two veterans led by Zhang Mengcheng and others were killed, and Du Wenhuan's family also lay down three.

After all, Du Wenhuan is a veteran of the battlefield and quickly regained his composure. After discovering that there were not many enemies rushing in, he ordered his men around him to gather together to deal with the enemy.

Seeing that the commander of his side regained his composure again, the Ming army, which had fallen into chaos, gradually restored order. They gradually closed their formation, and the rogue cavalry that broke through was shot down and dismounted one after another.

At this time, the cavalry team led by Ma Xiangzhong and Che Jibao also entered the battlefield, and Zhang Yingchang's military formation was also chaotic. In order to prevent Zhang Yingchang from being killed, Du Wenhuan transferred a reserve force to support. Du Wenhuan himself continued to command the brigade and seriously besieged Zhang Mengcheng, Liu Jin and others.

At this time, Xigui was shot down by the official army again, but this time he rolled on the spot. Returned to the side of his comrades, and with the help of his comrades, he repelled several enemy troops one after another.

Xi Gui found that he could not get on his horse, and the enemy army would not be able to threaten him for a while. He took off his musket with peace of mind and shot at a Ming army commander in the distance.

There was a crackle, and Xigui was annoyed to find that she hadn't shot. At this time, another enemy is pressing, and Xigui can only start fighting with the enemy again.

Although Hee-gui failed to hit the target, the shot continued to fly and hit a crossbow-wielding Xiang Yong in the distance. And then it was because of this situation that even Ki Gui didn't know that the situation on the battlefield changed.

Xiang Yong, who was shot, deducted the hanging knife in his hand before he died, and the crossbow arrow shot from the fly hit the butt of the war horse that Du Wenhuan was riding. Du Wenhuan's war horse ran uncontrollably under the pain. It took its own master, who was also the commander of this group of Ming troops, to disrupt the formation of the nearby Ming army, and actually rushed out of the battle formation directly.

In order to protect Du Wenhuan, Du Wenhuan's family also rushed out together. The soldiers of the Ming army, who had lost their command and were disrupted by their own commander, had to fight against the rogue cavalry who took the opportunity to rush up before they could figure out what was going on.

Zhang Mengcheng took this opportunity and Liu Jin together with more than ten cavalrymen to attack the Ming soldiers of the Chinese army again, and directly rushed out of the encirclement after a fight. Then Zhang Mengcheng and Liu Jin, who refused to give up, chased and killed Du Wenhuan in the direction of escape outside the formation.

After Du Wenhuan was taken out of the formation by Crazy Horse, he found that he couldn't control his war horse, so he simply jumped off the horse. At this time, some of the family members he chased out of the formation had also arrived, and then replaced with a subordinate war horse. Du Wenhuan, who rushed back, fought directly with Zhang Mengcheng and Liu Jin and others who came after him.

It's just that before they could get a result from their fight, Shen Yikui and others had already broken into the Ming army and cut down the banner of the Chinese army. The surrounding Ming troops then fled in all directions, and Du Wenhuan found that he could not do anything, so he had to lead his subordinates to retreat.

But Zhang Mengcheng and Liu Jin were willing to let him go, and continued to chase and kill all the way. Zhang Mengcheng and Su He, who were chasing together, shot the enemy soldiers in front of them with bows and arrows one after another, Guan Yuze also took out the bird gun behind his back to shoot, and Du Wenhuan's family members were shot off their horses one after another.

In the end, Liu Jin successfully caught up with Du Wenhuan with his good horse. And Du Wenhuan, who was riding a war horse of his subordinates, saw that he could not get rid of Liu Jin's pursuit, so he had to turn around and continue to fight.

After a not-so-fierce fight, Du Wenhuan was finally killed by Liu Jin. After Zhang Mengcheng and the others continued to chase and kill Du Wenhuan's remaining subordinates, they returned to the security guard with their results. Until the end of the battle, they didn't understand why Du Wenhuan suddenly rushed out of the battlefield like crazy.
