Chapter Forty-Nine: The Two Heavens of Ice and Fire
Seeing that the situation was critical, and if he continued like this, he might be in danger of breaking his skull, Ziren hurriedly turned his body sideways, intending to take the knife with his right shoulder. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if one of the arms is broken, it is better than burying one's life under the knife of Mengnu.
Seeing that Ziren intended to dodge, the Mongolian Tartar secretly added force to his hand, thinking about cutting off his opponent's shoulder and right arm together. In an instant, a sharp arrow flew from behind Ziren with lightning speed, hitting the right shoulder of Tartar. The Tartar was unstable in pain, and the momentum of the blade was greatly reduced, even though it hit Ziren. However, Ziren was dressed in fine iron armor, and with the help of the armor, he blocked this blow, and it was no big problem.
It turned out that Ma Shinan looked at the six roads, and saw that Meng Nu wanted to harm Ziren, so he hurriedly released arrows to help Ziren. The space inside the ice wall was narrow, and the two of them were no more than thirty paces apart. At such a distance, with Ma Shinan's archery skills, he could have made a hundred shots, but this arrow was originally aimed at the throat of the other party. Ma Shinan was eager to avenge his brother, and had fired more than ten arrows in a row, at this time his arm strength had already been exhausted, and his bow was unstable, barely hitting the enemy.
At this moment, the brothers of the Wang family also hurried to help, and the king ordered him to wave the horse chopping knife in his hand without saying a word, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of Mengnu, and went down with a knife and ended his life. Wang Xuedao stepped forward and wanted to support Ziren, but Ziren moved his right arm and felt that it was no big deal, so he politely declined.
Led by Ziren and others, all the soldiers stepped forward bravely and finally repelled the Monu who had fallen into the ice wall on the right flank. Ziren didn't dare to be careless, and immediately led his subordinates to the left wing to help.
Hu Yukun was leading the troops to fight fiercely with Mengnu, relying on his brute strength Hu Fatzi beheaded several people in a row, and Mengnu was afraid of his bravery and avoided them one after another. After Ziren arrived with his people, he killed many people in a row, and the Mongol Tartars knew that they were invincible, so they turned around and prepared to flee over the ice wall.
Just after eating a knife from Mengren, Ziren was angry at this time, and of course he refused to let it go. After being injured in the right shoulder, he changed his left hand and stabbed a Mongolian soldier who was climbing over the ice wall.
The Mongolian soldier was short, and his upper body had just climbed the ice wall, when his butt was facing the wall, and Ziren's knife pierced directly into his cheek. After the knife hit, Ziren was still angry, and continued to use his strength to screw all his internal organs. The remaining few Mongolian Tatar soldiers, also under the siege of everyone, most of them went to Huangquan, and two cowardly ones immediately put down their swords and were captured.
As soon as everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Ziren quickly raise his knife and begin to cut off the head of the Meng Nu who had fallen on the ground, and then threw it out of the wall.
Due to the ice wall, the commander Sirimo did not know the battle inside the wall. At this time, he was still urging his subordinates to continue to climb over the wall and enter, and the head thrown by Ziren just rolled down to his feet.
Hu Yukun saw Ziren's intentions and ordered everyone to follow suit, and in an instant, dozens of Tartar dog heads flew out of the wall. Under the leadership of Ziren, the soldiers also let out bursts of cheers.
Sirimo was greatly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his men to stop the offensive.
After seeing that Xi Rimo led his troops to kill the ice wall, Hei Shitan was unable to break through the Ming army's defense line. The five hundred archers behind him did not dare to release their arrows for fear of injuring their companions. The Ming people relied on the ice wall to block, and their numerical advantage could not be brought into play. Black Shitan, who was pressing the formation in the rear, was worried that his men would lose too much, so he also ordered the troops to be withdrawn at this time.
Xiri Mo had the intention of retreating, and hurriedly led the troops to retreat after receiving the order. The offensive was resolved, and the Monnu found nothing except a few corpses in front of the Ming army.
After seeing Mengnu retreating, Ziren asked Hu Yukun to stay inside the wall and commanded everyone to rescue the wounded. He led his men out of the wall, thinking about recovering the head that he had thrown out of the wall in order to scare away the Monnu. Although this move is dangerous, in Ziren's eyes, these heads are all military merits and white money, and they are unwilling to abandon them easily. Fortunately, the Monu had no fighting spirit, and no one sent arrows to disturb them.
Ziren and Hu Yukun counted it, and only when the ice wall was breached, there were more than 30 corpses in Mengnu. As for the Monnu who fell into the two wings of the ice wall, except for a few who escaped by chance, most of them were annihilated by our side, and a total of 69 enemies were killed in the first battle, and two were captured alive. Coupled with the aid of Majiadun a few days ago, and the previous battle by the river, he won the first rank of more than 100.
When the two of them were rejoicing, Ding Shoutie and the others counted our losses. After Ziren and Hu Yukun listened, their brows immediately tightened. After this battle just now, more than 20 people were killed in the battle under the two men, and the number of wounded was doubled. And a lot of gunpowder is consumed, and it can't be supported today, depending on the situation.
At this moment, the Mongol army besieging the rest of the camp was also exhausted and began to retreat one after another. Shen Yourong immediately sent Wang Ren to invite Ziren and Hu Yukun to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters, and after the two of them told their subordinates, they hurriedly got up with the prisoners.
Along the way, when the two saw Wang Ren's face and the bloodstains on his armor, they knew that the battle was not good. After rushing to the Chinese army in a few steps, they communicated with the generals and found that in this battle, there were only more than 200 soldiers killed in battle, and those who were wounded and could not go to the battle were reduced by no less than 500 troops.
It was learned from the interrogation of the captives. The Mongolian army came this time to avenge the sneak attack on the steppe a few days ago. Ziren faced the weakest Black Carboniferous Department in the Mengnu Formation, with less than 2,000 soldiers and horses. Shen Yourong and Yang Yuan faced each other, and the troops of the rabbit and fried flowers were three times higher than that of Black Charcoal. And the one who attacked Yang Shaoxun to guard the west of the camp, the Mongol Great Khan was "barbarian", and he had nearly 20,000 troops.
When the general heard this, they fell silent for a moment. First, it was shocking that the enemy's troops were strong, and Li Chengliang's reinforcements were delayed, and it was really difficult for his side to parry. The second is that he knows that this battle will be endless, even if everyone desperately breaks through, under the encirclement and suppression of Mengnu's soldiers, the most people who can escape are at most 12 out of 10.
I found that the burden of defense on the other three sides was far heavier than myself. Therefore, Ziren proposed that the firearms battalion and the pacesetter battalion that had been assigned to his command a few days ago be returned to everyone.
Yang Shaoxun and Shen Yourong saw Ziren, and they were still willing to divide their troops to help each other at this critical moment, and they all stood up to thank them. Yang Yuan, who had an estrangement with Ziren, also showed a trace of kindness in his eyes.
The generals knew that there was no other way but to fight to the death now, and after a little cheering up, they turned around and went back to Yingziren Before leaving, they specially asked Shen Yourong to ask for a tiger squat cannon that had been drained of gunpowder, and brought it back with the rest of the lead bullets.
After Ziren returned to the camp, in addition to leaving three taels of gunpowder for each of the two birds, which could be released ten times based on the calculation of three coins per gun. The Three-Eyed Gun consumes a lot of gunpowder per reload, and the accuracy is not good, so it is temporarily discarded. The remaining pounds of gunpowder were all allocated to the Tiger Squat Cannon. It is erected in the gap to make up for the lack of firepower transferred by the firearms battalion.
Soon after, Monnu launched a new offensive. It was still seventy paces away from the ice wall, and the archers fired arrows to suppress it, and then a large number of Mongol soldiers followed on foot. The difference is that behind each Mongolian Tartar is a bundle of firewood. It looks like it's going to be piled up on the outside of the ice wall and burn the ice wall.
Ding Shouming knew that our camp was still standing at this time, thanks to this ice wall. If the walls are burned by fire, the camp will have nothing to rely on on all sides. Although the bird gun in his hand was sharp, there were a large number of Mengnu at that time, Ziren hurriedly called Ding Shoutie and rushed to reload the tiger squat cannon.
