Chapter 43 Retreat from the enemy, change
Lai Hongda's personal guards wanted to come forward to rescue, but Ziren's car array was very doorway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info each flag four teams of soldiers as a group, each team with a wheelbarrow chariot, a total of four chariots formed into a small formation, in a crescent-shaped arrangement to block the enemy's edge.
There is only a gap of about two steps between each group of vehicles, which can be used by up to two Tartars. The unguarded Tartars outflanked the left and right sides of the formation, and a large number of tripwires and thistles were sprinkled on both wings to prevent the enemy from passing. As soon as he rushed into the gap in the war workshop, the soldiers who were ambushed behind the car rushed up.
The rattan hand stepped forward to block and arbitrarily cut off the horse's legs, and after the blow was successful, the spearman took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to assassinate him, and the Tartar fell off the horse with a body of martial courage but could not be used.
A strong Mongol soldier fell from his horse and was stabbed with two spears as soon as he got up from the ground. Relying on the armor and the tip of the talisman did not penetrate deep into the body, the Tartar endured the pain, and waved the axe with both hands, hoping to die with the pikeman.
"you!" At this time, Wang Shouguan arrived, scolded loudly, and the words fell and cut off the Tartar's heavenly spirit Gaiqi's eyebrows. The same scene was repeated in various gaps, and the Mongol soldiers who rushed into the battle suffered heavy casualties for a while.
Although the Mongol cavalry had the advantage in strength, they had no choice but to have a narrow passage for galloping, and they were outflanked from both flanks and blocked by tripping horses and thistles, and they were helpless to take the chariot formation for a while.
Relying on the cover of the vehicle formation, our officers and men relied on the advantage of more local strikes and fewer casualties.
Seeing that the Tartars could not break through their own generals' carefully arranged car formation, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the strength of wielding their blades also increased a few points. In a short time, the gap in the war workshop was blocked by the human bones and horse corpses of the Tartars.
Ying Kewan didn't expect that the battle situation would take a sharp turn to such an extent, and the enemy formation, which he thought could be leveled quickly, was like an insurmountable chasm, devouring the lives of dozens of warriors in the clan, and he didn't show the slightest flaw.
At this moment, he saw a war horse that had lost its front hooves and crashed into the chariot while struggling on the ground. The vehicle immediately shifted slightly. Ying Ke suddenly had a plan, and shouted loudly: "Let go of the horse, give me a head-on impact on the Mingren car formation!" ”
The Mongol Tartars understood and immediately began to fight their horses and charge into battle.
"Boom!" A bang. The chariot of more than thirty catties was shocked under the impact of the horses, and Ziren did not firmly fix the chariot in order to ensure that the battle formation was flexible and could change the formation at any time. As the horses continued to collide, the rook formation began to gradually deform.
See the Tartar change of tricks. Ziren shouted: "The three-eyed gun stepped forward to kill the enemy." ”
Ziren has always had a rear hand when facing the enemy, and the three-eyed gunner was drawn out of each team in advance, and lined up about ten steps behind the car formation to stand by, ready for emergencies.
As soon as the order came out, the three-eyed gunner immediately stepped forward, poked out the mouth of the gun from the gap in the car formation, took out the fire fold, and then scrambled to light the fire rope.
The Mongolian Tartars, who were bent on attacking the car formation, were startled at first when they saw the guns that kept poking out, and they didn't wait for them to get up and dodge.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
The flames turned into red chains, and the pitch-black bullets swept out like a torrential rain, running through several steps. The three-eyed gun can break through the heavy armor at this distance, and the Tartar is suddenly beaten to the flesh and blood, and falls to the ground with the mount, lying quietly in a pool of blood, either dead or disabled.
One of the Tartar guards was hit in the head by several bullets at the same time, and his skull could not withstand the huge impact, and was immediately shattered like a watermelon.
Another Tartar was so angry that he tried to block the three-eyed gun with his chest, but was torn apart by the bullet that was fired. The internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and the corpse flew upside down and collided with his companions behind him.
As the smoke cleared, Ying Ke saw that more than half of his men besieging the car array were killed and wounded, and wanted to personally lead his troops to rescue his nephew. Who knew that at this time, there were shouts of killing behind him. It was Li Rumei and Sun Shoujing who led the brigade and broke through the interception of the Tartars to lead the troops to kill.
Inevitably the whole army was wiped out, and Shadow Ke shouted in desperation: "Withdraw!" Then he led his men and horses to flee westward, preparing to find another shallow stall to cross the river.
Seeing this, Li Rumei shouted: "Tartar leaves." As soon as he said yes, he prepared to chase after him.
Li Zhenggong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins of his young master. The good words said: "The brothers have suffered many casualties, and it is better for the Tartars to be defeated or to save them first." ”
Sun Shoujing was worried that the Mongols would be trapped and fighting and causing unnecessary casualties, so they persuaded together: "General Li, although the Tatar slaves were defeated, their strength still exists, and today is a big victory, so it is better for us to gather our troops and horses as soon as possible and rescue the injured soldiers." ”
Li Rumei saw that there were many injured family members behind her, and knew that it was not easy to train a family member who was skilled in archery and horses, so she ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
After joining up with Ziren, the three of them began to clean up the battlefield together and help the wounded.
Immediately the victory and defeat were in a moment, although the Li family's iron cavalry was brave, after this battle, he still lost seventy horses, of which half were killed and wounded.
Ziren relied on the chariot formation to block the enemy in this battle, and only seven soldiers were wounded, and the injuries were not serious, as long as they recuperated with peace of mind, they could be healed in ten days at most. Seeing that Li Rumei and Sun Shoujing's subordinates were killed and injured, Ziren immediately sent people to help treat them.
In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, Ziren specially ordered the soldiers of each team to carry with them, knife wound medicine, spirits, knives, gauze and other medical equipment, and Xue Jun taught some simple medical skills on weekdays.
Relying on Ziren's exploration, when rescuing the seriously injured, he first poured a few sips of liquor to paralyze and reduce the pain of the wounded. The wound is then cleaned with a knife and then medicated and bandaged with a knife. If a large blood vessel is injured, it is also necessary to burn the blood vessel to death with a red-hot knife to prevent the wounded from losing too much blood and dying.
Li Rumei and Sun Shou have been in the army for a long time and have seen the mystery of this method, and they have come to Ziren to ask for advice, preparing to implement it in the camp in the future. This move is beneficial and harmless to improve the combat strength of the Liaodong Border Army, Ziren agreed with a smile.
Although the casualties in this battle were not small, the results were equally rich. After a series of fierce battles, a total of more than 130 enemy heads were killed, Li Rumei's department suffered the most serious casualties, nearly 50 casualties, and 70 heads, and Sun Shoujing's subordinates were killed and wounded, and 30 heads were divided.
Ziren has been down for the past few days, and he has won nearly four hundred heads. Deliberately gave up part of the military merits, leaving only thirty heads, in addition to the horses that were obtained in battle, all the horses were begged for and kept for the purpose of expanding the army.
In addition, another enemy chief was captured, and after interrogation, it was learned that it was Taiji Lai Hongda of the Duoyan Division. The three of them didn't dare to dispose of it at will, so they closed it down for the time being and waited for Hao Jie to arrive and wait for it.
After some busyness, the three of them regrouped their troops and horses and began to drive to the bank of the Pu River. After arriving at the river, Lei Zhenwei and Sun Guangzu, who stayed here, had already built a pontoon bridge.
As soon as the army crossed the river, they heard the sound of cannons from the Puhe station, and the city instantly shouted and killed.
