Chapter 37: Turning the Tide

"Let me ask you, why did you join the army!" Han Yu raised his eyebrows and questioned Shen Sheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Obey orders to defend the city!" The bearded man sneered in response, he was really too lazy to say anything about the stinky kid in front of him.

"Have you heard the military order before?" Han Yu continued to ask aloud, but in fact, these questions were not asking the bearded man in front of him, but questioning all the private soldiers present.

"What if you hear it, and what if you don't hear it?" Seeing that Han Yu's tone was not good and aggressive, the bearded man was a little flustered in his heart, this kid was just relying on Zhang Tang Huaihu's fake tiger to be afraid that he would do anything, so he forcibly suppressed his uneasiness, and said in a vicious deep voice, "Do you kid know who my master is?!" ”

"I don't care who you are!" Han Yu suddenly ordered sharply, "Come on, take it for me!" ”

The cold-faced Wang Wei stepped forward suddenly, and grabbed the bearded man to the ground with his arm, and several private soldiers around him wanted to step forward to help, Wang Wei took out his blade and stared at a few people coldly, and at the same time, a group of battalion soldiers stepped forward with knives at the same time, and the murderous aura suddenly made a group of private soldiers shudder.

"You... You, my family, are...! "The bearded man was really anxious and wanted to report his adult's name to save his life.

It's just that Han Yu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, "Do what you order, behead!" Han Yu waved his hand and ordered Wang Wei.

Before the words fell, the blade had already sunk into the flesh and blood of the neck, and suddenly splashed a stream of bewitching blood, and the bloody head fell to the ground, and several private soldiers who had previously participated in the beating of the battalion soldiers were suddenly paralyzed to the ground in fright, and those who were a little more clever immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"According to the military order, the co-obligatory will be guilty of the same crime, beheaded!" A group of battalion soldiers were ordered to step forward, brutally crushing several private soldiers to the ground, and cutting off their heads with knives in their hands.

Han Yu shocked the whole army with the momentum of thunder, and no one dared to be perfunctory anymore, and they all started to fight with the spirit of twelve points.

Soon the drill continued, Han Yu personally supervised the battle, and for the well-behaved training soldiers, they were promoted on the spot and given silver two rewards, meritorious service was rewarded, and if there was a mistake, the training efficiency was greatly improved, but these 1,500 soldiers, Han Yu was a god, and there was no way to turn them into a hundred elite soldiers in a few days, but it was good to do the order and forbid.

――――――――――――――――

On the head of Fengyang City, stumps and broken arms, viscous plasma and minced meat can be seen everywhere, and the strong stench and bloody smell are disgusting.

The Ming army that had just repelled the onslaught of the Kou army sat on the ground, and there was no time to collect the corpses that had fallen to the side, the war knife in his hand had already been curled up due to many slashing, and the spear was stained red with blood, and every Ming army defending the city longed for the death-like silence in front of him, which could be a little longer, but obviously the Kou army did not intend to let the Ming army rest, and with the drums in the distance, another wave of Kou troops rushed towards Fengyang City.

Zhang Tanghuai, who was covered in blood, had just fallen asleep with his back against the wall, and was soon awakened by the shouting and killing sound of the Kou army under the city, as if he had been stung by a bee needle, and suddenly rose up and quickly rushed to the side of the wall, his bloodshot eyes stared at the new batch of Kou soldiers rushing up in the distance, and his brows were furrowed for a while, this was the twelfth continuous siege of the city, and the Kou army was completely relieved, and he looked like he would not give up if he did not take Fengyang City.

This kind of fierce battle has lasted for five days every day, and every day from morning to night is an instinctive rush, and even many people have forgotten the original intention of defending and attacking the city, just trying to kill the enemy in front of them as much as possible, but as time goes by, the problem of the defenders of Fengyang City is gradually exposed.

First of all, firearms, with the consumption of a long time, there is little ammunition left, and because the cannon chamber is overheated, when the seventh wave of the Kou army attacked, most of the artillery has been dumb fire, and although the two thousand new troops in Zhang Tanghuai's hands are not recruits, but the whole training is only half a month, for this kind of cruel attrition offensive and defensive war has some stamina, the fear of war and cowardice has spread among the soldiers, too many times by the Kou army rushed to the city, if it were not for the thousand soldiers under the account of Zhen Xing played a key role, I am afraid that it would not be able to hold on to today.

And the Kou army also changed its tactics, relying on a huge numerical advantage, mixing the old, weak, sick and disabled with the battleable elite soldiers, and constantly attacking Fengyang continuously and frequently, not giving the defending Ming army a chance to breathe, although the Kou army paid a heavy price, the corpses were all over the city, and at a glance it looked like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but to this point, the Kou army had no way to retreat, even if it was piled up with corpses, it had to be piled up on the city.

The attack of the Kou army became more and more fierce, and the suppression without artillery became more unscrupulous, and the troops invested every time were not a few, and soon rushed to the city again with the help of the ladder to start a close battle with the Ming army, and the soldiers of the two armies had already killed the red eyes, and they had to do their best to survive.

The Ming army made a loud sound, the projectile that roared out penetrated the Kou army that had just landed on the city, Zhang Tanghuai took the lead, led the Ming army to go up together, and killed the Kou army who rushed up seven or eight again, the two armies killed from late night to evening, a round of red sun from the west of the sky was bloody and translucent, the Kou army slowly retreated, the fresh blood scattered on the ground, under the light of the purple sun, it was particularly dazzling, Zhang Tanghuai, who repelled the attack of the Kou army again, could no longer hold on, and the black in front of him went down to the side.

The evening breeze blowing the earth always gives people infinite reverie, but the coming quiet night is soon broken by the sound of shouts and killings.

The Kou army did not die down in the evening as before, but took advantage of the Ming army when it was most tired to order the siege again, and this time the Kou army made a bloody capital, and the strength was three times as large as before, obviously this was premeditated, ready to take Fengyang City in one go, in fact, this is also a helpless move, with the passage of time, Fengyang City has not been taken, and the pursuit of the Kou army of the five provinces of the governor Hong Chengchou, has led the main force into the Anhui territory, leaving little time for the Kou army.

Sure enough, the sudden offensive made the Ming army panic, Zhang Tanghuai was unconscious, and the soldiers led by Zhen Xing, the commander of the guard, were on the way to come, and the Ming army defending the city lost its backbone for a while, and the crazy Kou army fought twelve times in a row, and was already on the verge of collapse.

"Look, Zhen Qian has arrived!" A sharp-eyed young soldier shouted at the others around him with excitement.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that there were soldiers in the distance who were rushing towards this side, but soon outside the Ming army defending the city, the leader was not Qianzong Zhen Xing, but Qianzong Zhang Tang Huai's brother Han Yu, this man who was powerless, but repeatedly created miracles, even more trusted by them than Qianzong Zhen Xing.

Although I don't know where these more than 1,000 people came from, but the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they all turned their heads to meet the Kou army that had set up the ladder and climbed up towards the city, 1,500 people led by Han Yu arrived almost at the same time as the Kou army, Han Yu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the fear in his heart, and was the first to rush to the city, seeing that Han Yu was in the lead, the soldiers behind him naturally fought bravely, and quickly bet on the gap that the Kou army had just rushed up to open.

It's just that these Kou troops who rushed to the head of the city are quite fierce, many recruits who have been trained for less than a few days are afraid to step forward in fright, and there are more and more Kou troops who have climbed the city for a while, and there is a faint drive to drive the Ming army off the city, at this time seven or eight strong men rushed out, fighting for their lives and slashing madly, and for a while the prestige of the Kou army was suppressed, one of the strong men was stabbed several times, and his arm had already been cut off, only to see him let out a roar, and suddenly rushed down the city with three people in front of him.

The bloody performance of these people completely stimulated the fighting spirit of the originally somewhat timid recruits, accompanied by a crazy hysterical roar, desperately rushing forward to kill, and actually drove the Kou army that had already gained a firm foothold in the city down the city again, this piece of the city was recaptured again, Han Yu led the troops to turn the tide again, and successfully blocked the Kou army.

And those seven or eight strong men were the ones who liked to fight in a group of green forest heroes the most, and at this critical moment, they were the ones who lifted the morale of the army.

Han Yu quickly rushed to the side of the Ming army who was originally defending the city wall, and eagerly asked Zhang Tanghuai about the situation, when he learned that Zhang Tanghuai was just too tired and fainted, and repeatedly determined that there was no danger to his life Han Yu finally relieved, but the Kou army obviously did not intend to give up, and almost captured the city before, so that the Kou army under the city was as excited as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

At the critical moment, Han Yu decisively ordered that the Ming army that was originally defending the city take out all the belongings, and even the stone that originally pressed the artillery was also thrown down as a sasamarine, especially a few of the large explosive incendiary weapons weighing 40 kilograms of 10,000 enemies, not to mention its explosive power, just as a stone can be thrown directly down to kill a lot, because the Kou army was anxious to rush to the city, plus thought that the Ming army had consumed all the firearms, although the 10,000 enemies who smashed into the crowd exploded, and the Kou army suffered heavy casualties for a whileAlthough the overseer roared again and again, he still couldn't stop the defeat of the Kou army, and suddenly a sharp arrow pierced through the throat of the overseer, and finally the frustrated Kou army evolved into a comprehensive rout.
