Chapter 163: Fight a battle openly
The sentinel, with the help of mare's milk wine, was already leaning against the edge of the tent and sleeping deeply.
His mind was unusually active.
The red flag of the Dajin Kingdom was replanted in Jinzhou City, and the soldiers of the Ming army who did not have time to escape were chained around their necks one by one, and were led by the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom like dogs, cleaning the bloody city.
Several young Han Jiao # Niang were lining up to pass in front of them, and a beautiful Jiao # Niang was throwing winks at him.
"Slut." The sentry cursed as he reached out to touch her delicate face.
"Smack!" The young Han Jiao # Niang slapped the sentinel's face, this Jiao # Niang had a lot of strength, and slapped the sentinel's cheek painfully.
The sentry was about to step forward to grab the Han Jiao # Niang and let her use her delicate body to compensate for herself, but the Han Jiao # Niang disappeared and the sentinel was looking for it.
"Smack!" Another slap in the face.
The pain drove out the sleepiness, the sentry woke up completely, he opened his eyes, where is there any Han Jiao # Niang? He rubbed his astringent eyes, and there seemed to be countless figures shaking in front of him, and there was a sound of "snorting" from his feet.
He couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt it, and the wind was strong in his clothes.
"It's not good, there is a sneak attack by the Ming army!" The sentry subconsciously shouted.
"Bang!" A clear shot completely ended the sentry's sweet dream, and he slowly fell, his body still leaning on the tent, without making any sound.
But the sentry's voice had already alarmed the people in the tent.
"The Ming army sneak attack! The Ming army sneak attack! "The people in the tent beat the plank bed repeatedly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
The explosion of the grenade was quickly drowned out by a qiē whisper.
There was no need for the sentry to shout, and Jiannu, who was awakened, soon found that it was the sound of the Ming army's grenade, which was right next to them.
"The Ming army is coming, wake up."
The loud explosion made it impossible for anyone to sleep, and with the help of the afterglow of the grenade explosion, it was possible to see that every tent was full of human figures.
Miscellaneous footsteps, panicked shouts, and a few miserable moans.
No one can tell if it's a dream.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
……
The soldiers of the Ming army could not see the Jiannu soldiers at all, they all shot according to the sound, regardless of the hit rate.
The more familiar voice convinced Yue Tuo that this was not a dream, the Ming army had really come to steal the camp, and it was now under his nose.
"This damn sentry, Yuan Chonghuan who should feed the wolf." Yue Tuo cursed.
The big tent began to catch fire, and Yue Tuo didn't have time to get dressed, so he put on his leather armor and hurriedly rushed out of the big tent.
There was chaos outside, there were voices everywhere, and the faint light of the flintlock pistol added to the fear and panic.
Yue Tuo hid behind the big tent, he was completely stunned, and all he heard in his ears was panic, fear, and misery.
The sound of flintlock pistols gradually thinned out and finally subsided.
"Don't panic, everyone, the Ming army is just harassing and has been scared away."
"Boom...... Long ......"
Before Yue Tuo's words fell, the Ming army's tiger artillery bureau sounded, as if it was specially dismantling his platform.
"Da Da Da!"
The horses' hooves slammed heavily against the earth, as if thousands of horses were rushing over, and the night sky, which had just calmed down, was filled with even more terrifying factors.
Yue Tuo's whole body was cold, the Ming army didn't look like harassment at all, it was the main force of the Ming army, grenades, flintlock guns, artillery, cavalry, the Ming army wanted his life.
"Lord Belle, the main force of the Ming army is here, go quickly." The soldiers brought Yue Tuo a war horse, but he didn't notice that Yue Tuo was still bare-thighed.
"No, I can't go, I can't leave my brother behind." Yue Tuo struggled, and refused to get on the horse even if he died.
"Lord Belle, it's too late if you don't leave." Surrounded by his own soldiers, he pushed Yue Tuo onto the war horse, and then gave the war horse a whip.
"No, ......," Yue Tuo's shout grew farther and farther away.
"Da-da-da-da."
It was dark in the distance, and I couldn't see anything clearly, coupled with the response of the distant mountains, the Jiannu soldiers, who were extremely familiar with horses, couldn't judge how many cavalry the Ming army came.
"Da-da-da-da."
The Ming army was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it had reached the periphery of the big tent.
The Jiannu soldiers were still looking for horses, and without horses, in front of the main cavalry of the Ming army, no one could escape the fate of ascending to heaven.
"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"
It was the familiar sound of grenade explosions again, and the cavalry at the front of the Ming army began to throw grenades at the big tent, which was on fire everywhere. In the firelight, the Ming cavalry began to move along both sides of the big tent.
The Ming army behind also threw grenades at the big tent, and after the grenades were thrown, the Ming army waved the swords they had not used for a long time.
Chop, slash, stab, stomp.
The Jiannu soldiers who did not find their horses, although they also resisted desperately, but in the face of the high-speed cavalry, even one resistance was futile.
The Ming army did not entangle with them at all, and when they encountered Jiannu, it was a knife, and if Jiannu was cut down, the horses behind would trample them into flesh and blood; If it hadn't been chopped, the horses would have rushed over, and this Jiannu would have been left to the cavalry behind.
Yue Tuo has fled, Jiannu is now uncommanded, although they are brave in individual combat, but in front of the prepared Ming cavalry, there is no effective resistance at all, except for fleeing, they only have the way of death.
The Jiannu soldiers who found the war horses wanted to fight against the soldiers of the Ming army at first, but in the wave of the Ming cavalry, the individual Jiannu soldiers were quickly drowned, and some smart Jiannu soldiers avoided the Ming cavalry and fled into the darkness after finding the horses.
The cavalry of the Ming army patrolled outside the big tent for two weeks, and there were no living Jiannu soldiers near the big tent, and there was already a sea of fire inside the big tent.
"Withdraw."
The cavalry of the Ming army disappeared as quickly as they suddenly appeared, as if they had never come to the big tent of Jiannu.
Yue Tuo didn't know how long he had been running, and the sound of horses' hooves kept coming from behind him.
The east finally appeared white, Yue Tuo let out, he ignored the dissuasion of his own soldiers, and slowly stopped the horses.
Surrounded by his own soldiers, there are only a few dozen people.
"Lord Belle ......"
Yue Tuo waved his hand: "You don't need to persuade anymore, if there is a Ming army behind, I will fight a decisive battle with them, if it is our people behind, quickly gather them." ”
The sound of horses' hooves behind is getting closer and closer, and the pro-soldiers don't know whether it is the Ming army or the Jurchen pro-cavalry, and they all look embarrassed.
Yue Tuo shook the reins: "I'll go by myself." ”
"Lord Belle." The soldiers stopped Yue Tuo's horse's head, "Let's go, if it is the chasing soldiers of the Ming army, we will let the war horse scream, Belle Ye will go first, don't wait for us, we can stop them to some extent." ”
More than a dozen pro-soldiers turned their horses' heads and disappeared from Yue Tuo's sight.
Fortunately, it was not the Ming army that came, it was all scattered Jurchen cavalry, and they were anxiously looking for Yue Tuo.
When the day dawned, Yue Tuo gathered all the stragglers, and he counted them, and it was less than two thousand, that is to say, a sneak attack by the Ming army made him lose more than a thousand elite cavalry, as well as wounded soldiers and supplies in the big tent.
Yue Tuo sat on his horse with a gloomy face.
The siege of the city could not be attacked, the garrison was secretly attacked, Yue Tuo wanted to cry without tears, he didn't know what he was wrong, could it be that Yuan Chonghuan was born to be the nemesis of the Dajin Kingdom?
How can you fight with Yuan Chonghuan in a dignified manner?
Yue Tuo jumped off his horse and threw the reins of his horse to his soldiers: "All dismount and camp here." ”
"Lord Belle, aren't we going back to Quang Ninh?"
"If you don't go back, the war is not over yet." Yue Tuo shook his head slowly, his soldiers' losses had reached seventy percent, and he hadn't even seen Yuan Chonghuan's face, he was unwilling, the advantage of the Jurchen cavalry was in the field, he wanted to meet Yuan Chonghuan in the field, as long as Yuan Chonghuan dared to go out of the city.
The tents had been discarded, and now they should have been burned, and the soldiers were all sitting on the ground, looking at Yue Tuo with a blank eye.
Avoiding everyone's attention, Yue Tuo found a burned dead branch, tore off another piece of leather armor, and wrote a letter.
"Go, find a soldier who can speak Chinese, and give this letter to Yuan Chonghuan."
"Lord Belle......" The pro-soldier took the leather armor, his eyes were so wide that even his eyeballs were about to fall off, "Why do you want to write a letter to Yuan Chonghuan?" ”
"You don't have to worry about it, just do it." Yue Tuo drank back the pro-soldier and looked at Jinzhou in the distance.
Hearing that Yue Tuo sent a messenger to come, Yuan Chonghuan was happy: What is this Yue Tuo going to do? It's not enough to lose the battle, do you want me to be humiliated?
Yuan Chonghuan took the letter written by Yue Tuo on the leather armor from the messenger's hand, tore it open and looked at it, and was immediately dumbfounded: it was all Jurchen text, and he couldn't understand a single word. He handed the letter back to the messenger: "What did your banner master say in the letter?" ”
The messenger took the letter and quickly glanced at it: "Lord Yuan, our banner master has asked you for battle. ”
"Appointment?" Yuan Chonghuan was stunned: Yue Tuo has lost in a row, and he still has the courage to fight? "Where will Yue Tuo ask me to fight? What time is it? ”
The messenger cowered, and after a long time, he said, "Our banner master said that the location is set by you, Lord Yuan, and the sooner the time, the better." ”
"It's up to me?" Yuan Chonghuan looked directly at the messenger, "Yue Tuo only has a few hundred soldiers left now, and he still dares to ask me for battle?" ”
"Lord Yuan, we still have two thousand ......" The messenger felt that he had slipped his mouth and quickly stopped.
Only two thousand soldiers? Yuan Chonghuan smiled slightly: "You leave Yue Tuo's letter, go back and tell Yue Tuo, I accept her appointment to fight, and the place is in the big tent where you stayed yesterday, as for the time...... It will take time for you to run back and forth, just three days later! Three days later, I will be waiting for him in your old tent. ”
"Yes, Lord Yuan," the messenger bowed to Yuan Chonghuan, and then retreated to leave Yuan Chonghuan's camp.
Yuan Chonghuan immediately convened a military conference. Due to the need for secrecy, in addition to Yuan Chonghuan, only Du Wenhuan and the three division commanders in Jinzhou City participated in the meeting, and Sun Chengzong did not have Jinzhou.
The meeting was presided over by Yuan Chonghuan, who first took out Yue Tuo's letter and showed it to everyone.
But all the people here are Han Chinese, and no one knows the Jurchen script, so they are all confused.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help it: "Chonghuan, what the hell are you doing?" What kind of bird book is this? ”
Yuan Chonghuan clenched his fists: "My lord, this is a letter written by Yue Tuo." ”
"Yue Tuo? Why did he write to you? What does the letter say? Sun Chengzong said the word "you" very seriously, could it be that Yue Tuo was persuading Yuan Chonghuan to surrender? It's not like it, Yue Tuo was defeated in a row, and he didn't have the capital to persuade him to surrender at all, did he want to negotiate peace? If peace is negotiated, and he is the governor of Liaodong, then he should write a letter to himself.
Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand and stood up with the military detective.
"Translate Yue Tuo's letter to all of you."
The military detective roughly explained Yue Tuo's meaning, and as soon as Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand, he walked out of the conference hall.
"My lord, everyone, Yue Tuo's siege of the city was unfavorable, and we stole the camp again, and lost his troops repeatedly. He now asks me to fight openly, and he says that if he loses this time, he will be convinced. ”
