Chapter Seventy-Nine: Night Attack II
To the left of the camp gate is a mound several meters long, about two meters high. The www.biquge.info was originally a sentry post here, and there were more than a dozen Tartars on duty. Shen Jia had already seen this favorable terrain and was ready to hold on to it as a position and wait for reinforcements. After launching the attack, he took advantage of the chaos to seize this place as soon as possible, and used this place as the preset concentration point of the Ming army. There was chaos and noise in the camp, and no one noticed that the Ming army had secretly lurked on this mound.
As the explosion died down, the raging fire became a nightmare in the Tartar's heart. And the fire drove the war horses to gallop around in the camp, and everyone was busy running for their lives, so it was Shen Jia and his party who quickly built simple obstacles through panic.
When the panicked Tartars poured into the vicinity of the camp gate, the Ming army, who had been waiting for their work, took advantage of the darkness to throw grenades and incendiary bombs. The fleeing crowd suffered heavy casualties, while the living ran in all directions. Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai originally wanted to stabilize the team and look for traces of the enemy, but the situation was critical, and the soldiers did not care about the opposition of the two Belle Lords, and hurriedly rushed towards the distance with them.
By the time Yue Tuo arrived at the camp gate, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai had long since disappeared. In desperation, Yue Tuo was about to send someone to look for him, but the chaotic crowd was noisy, and the soldiers couldn't hear Yue Tuo's words clearly. Yue Tuo was anxious, and the rebels were anxious to flee for their lives, so two crowds blocked the camp gate and could not advance or retreat. Shen Jia, who was hiding on the mound, saw the opportunity and immediately ordered to throw a few grenades.
The loud explosion masked the noise of the crowd. The night flickered with the light of an explosion, and people were constantly wailing for death. The originally dense crowd was like a sickle swinging, littering corpses. The front of the camp was full of corpses, and the camp was full of frightened horses, and the Tartars had no choice but to endure the danger and continue to flee outside the camp.
If Dai Shan was unaware of the explosion in the previous wave, then in this wave of explosions just now, Dai Shan found that the enemy was in front of him. Dai Shan was anxious to escape for his life just now, and his heart was panicked, but at this moment he settled down and immediately looked around. He quickly locked his suspicious gaze on the mound near the camp gate. It was a very unusual place where the terrain was excellent, and it used to be a sentry post for the big battalion, but now it was pitch black. Daizen decided to test it, so he ordered his men to launch a tentative attack on the mound with a pair of gathered soldiers.
There was only one path in the mound, on the left side of the road in and out of the camp, and the other three sides were vertical earthen cliffs more than two meters high, and the Tartars had to charge along the main road towards the mound. However, the attacking team was entangled with the crowd of fleeing people, and it was difficult to move an inch for a while. Finally, when the crowd gradually dispersed, the Tartar team reached the vicinity of the mound, only to be met with a wave of frightened war horses.
Tan Tai, the leader of the team, was shocked, and hurriedly rolled into the fire ditch on the side, and when the horses galloped past, Tan Tai got up again, but found that there were no six out of ten soldiers around him. An enraged Tan Tai tries to find his subordinates, but several explosives are suddenly dropped on the mound. The successive explosions panicked Tan Tai and the remaining soldiers, who were unable to judge the number and exact location of the enemy. Tan Tai roared: "The enemy is on the mound, charge me!" ”
More than a dozen people who came to their senses quickly rushed to the mound. Tan Tai wiped off the wet blood and followed suit. As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard a few swishing sounds, and there were crossbowmen lurking on the mound. Tan Tai hurriedly took the opportunity to roll backwards, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and when he looked back at the charging soldiers again, he saw that they were all on the ground and instantly lost their breath.
Tan Tai endured the pain of the wound and quickly crawled backwards. After about a few minutes, Tan Tai felt that he was out of danger, so he got up and hurriedly ran in the direction where Dai Shan was.
"Big Belle, there's the Ming army over there, right on that mound."
Mang Gurtai's eyes were blood-red, and he roared angrily: "Phew, you dog minion, the face of the Jurchens has made you lose everything, so many warriors in the past, you came back alone, you still have the face to say?" ”
Dai Shan's face was full of pain, he tried his best to suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Eighth brother, don't worry, since I have found out the traces of the other party, I don't believe that they can fly to the sky." I'll go and gather the soldiers, and you will take people to kill all those bright dogs, and we will leave no one alive. ”
"Okay second brother, you see my good, if you don't kill all these bright dogs, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart!"
Mang Gurtai roared and led nearly a thousand remnants of soldiers behind him to touch the mound.
Most of the Tartars wake up from their dreams, and many run out in a panic before they even have time to carry their weapons. In a hurry, Dai Shan could only organize the remnants of the armed soldiers to attack.
The team soon came to the mound, and Mang Gurtai did not talk nonsense, waved his hand, and gave the order to search and attack the mound. Halfway through, I heard a boom, a package flew in front of me, and then there was another violent explosion. A large number of people fell in the middle of the dense crowd, and then clods of earth fell from the sky, crackling and hitting the crowd. The living turned back and saw their companions on the ground, and found that their facial features were bleeding, their faces were black, and even their internal organs were rotten, making it impossible to look at them directly.
The soldiers who were at the front of the attack were so anxious that they stopped to look around, and then they heard the angry shouts of Sambele, and their comrades in the rear rushed up, and the soldiers got back to their feet, trying to get close to their comrades against the unknowable danger.
This was exactly what Shen Jia wanted, and he immediately ordered Wei Liangyu to fire the conscienceless cannon. This kind of earthen cannon, which was used during the Liberation War, was powerful and simple, but I didn't expect it to be used by Shen Jia here one day. Shen Jia was very glad that when he attacked Fushun, he brought a barrel of gasoline with him, and later the gasoline was made into an incendiary bomb, and the gasoline barrel can also be used as a conscience cannon.
This kind of earththen cannon with no cooldown time and huge power shocked Wei Liangyu's jaw almost dropped. He had complained that carrying a gasoline drum was a waste of manpower and useless, but now he was firing the explosive pack with a smile on his face, and he did not remember the original complaint.
The unconscionable artillery continued to bombard the dense crowd, and the slowly frontal offensive began to wane, and the demoralized soldiers stared at Mang Gultai, desperate for the commander to make a realistic decision.
Mang Gurtai has been fighting for many years, and the middle-level generals under him are also experienced. Soon the team readjusted their attack and went up from the four loaves of bread. Although the other three sides of the mound are vertically faceted, it is difficult for a single person to climb. But for the crowd attacking on a large scale, this could not stop the attackers.
The Houjin soldiers approached the mound and squatted down, while the person who followed stepped on the shoulders of the previous person, and the previous person pushed up with a slight force, and the Houjin soldiers easily climbed up the mound. Not long after, a large number of Houjin soldiers appeared on three sides of the mound one after another.
There was only one conscienceless cannon, and it was half-buried in the earth, and it was almost impossible to adjust its direction. Shen Jia had no choice but to command the Ming army to throw grenades, and after a wave of dense explosions, the ambushed death squads swarmed up and drove the remaining Tartars off the mound.
In order to conceal himself, Shen Jia ordered a ban on fires on the mound, so the Ming army fought by feeling in the dark. Fortunately, the Ming army lurked in the dark for a long time, and his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. The Tartars, on the other hand, attacked with torches held high, but instead became targets in the open.
Shen Jia relied on the power of firearms and the bravery of the Ming army to quickly repel two waves of Tartar charges. However, Liu Wu came over and reported that there were not many grenades left. Shen Jia had no choice but to let the Ming army see it and throw it away. Shen Jia's caution gave the Tartars a chance, and they could finally charge upwards with confidence.
The death squads did not carry many explosives packs, and although the conscienceless cannon could be suppressed for a while, if it continued like this, it would be a matter of time before the position was lost. The Tartars began to organize the archers to release cold arrows, and some of the soldiers of the death squad were unfortunately hit by arrows while dropping bombs, but fortunately the grenades were thrown out by their quick-eyed companions next to them, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Half a pillar of incense was less, and the Ming army suddenly turned to the moment of life and death, looking at the large number of Tartars that climbed up, Shen Jia shouted: "Throw away the grenade, everyone rush with me!" ”
With that, Shen Jia threw the grenade out, and soon a burst of fire exploded in front of him. The daredevils threw out the only remaining grenades, and the people on the opposite side flipped on their backs, and the ghosts cried wolf. Shen Jia raised his knife and shouted, staggering forward.
Seeing that the instructor was the first to rush forward, the daredevils got up with red eyes and swarmed up.
Shen Jia raised his knife and swung it, and as soon as his arm was raised, a cold arrow instantly pierced through the tiger's mouth. The severe pain made Shen Jia's body sway, but fortunately, Wei Liangyu, who came from behind, supported him. Shen Jia looked at Wei Liangyu with an anxious face.
Wei Liangyu understood, and yelled close to his ear: "Gan Liang is manipulating, don't worry." ”
Shen Jia understood, so he covered his arms and wanted to continue fighting, but he was stopped by Wei Liangyu. Qu Xiaojia rushed over, and he took the opportunity to shoot and kill several archers of the opposing party, and the threat of the Ming army weakened slightly.
The battle on the mound was a mess, there were shouts of killing everywhere, more and more Tartars poured up, and many of the Ming troops were almost fighting in one and two. The death squad couldn't hold out, some of the team members felt it, and some took out the last grenade, pulled it and threw themselves into the crowd.
"Dog's day Tartar, Lao Tzu fought with you!"
There was a rumbling sound, and there were falling earth chips everywhere.
At this moment, suddenly Wei Liangyu shouted: "Reinforcements are coming!" Reinforcements are coming! ”
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from far and near, especially in the empty night. The death squad knew that this was the promised reinforcements, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and while the Tartars were panicking, they once again struggled to drive the Tartars off the mound.
The 2,000 cavalry of the Ming army came suddenly, like a sharp sword in the dark night, cutting off the Tartar that had just been retracted. When the Tartars fled in a hurry, they didn't even bring weapons, and under the drive of the cavalry, the Tartars quickly became a mess, and the organization was disrupted again, and they fell back into a state of not knowing the generals and not knowing the soldiers. The cavalry of the Ming army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and the Tartars were defeated.
Ten minutes later, Qi Jin led 2,000 infantry to arrive, and the troops and horses of the Tartars were tightly bitten, and the two sides were inseparable.
He Shixian led 3,000 horsemen around the West Gate, and was the latest to arrive, but he was the most rewarding. The Tartar campfire took advantage of the wind and burned to pieces. The Tartars were pursued and killed by the Ming army in all directions, and some of them tried to avoid the main force of the Ming army and fled west to Tieling. As a result, He Shixian was caught by He Shixian, who rushed over. Thousands of tartars scattered at the touch of a button, so that He Shixian was surprised and didn't react.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and under the sharp impact of the Ming army's back and forth, the Tartars were never able to gather the remnants and enter the battle. Due to the lack of a complete structure of the Tartars, the soldiers could not be effectively organized, and the Tartars had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
This defeat was fatal, a fire burned almost all the grain and grass, ordnance, and chariots stored in the camp, and even the war horses were fleeing, and when the victorious Ming army calmly returned to the city, Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan looked at the battlefield in front of them, and wanted to cry without tears.
The two slowly gathered the remnants of the army and were about to discuss, but unexpectedly, the stationed sentinel came to report that there was a large Ming army coming towards Fushun in the direction of Shenyang, and the number was about 10,000 or 20,000. Dai Shan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered people to quickly gather the remnants of the army, as well as the war horses, and prepare to retreat as soon as possible.
At this time, the Ming army in Fushun City was intoxicated with a hearty victory, and they did not know that another Ming army was rushing to Fushun dozens of miles away to rescue.
Mang Gurtai was furious, and when he retreated, he killed all the remaining more than 2,000 people around him, and the dense corpses were almost piled up on the mound next to the camp.
Early in the morning, Houjin hastily ended the siege of Fushun at the cost of thousands of lives. Some of them escorted the dying Yue Tuo to Tieling for medical treatment nearby, while Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai hurriedly fled to Sarhu City.
