Chapter 149: Rage
In the silence of the night, this sound can be heard far away, even if it is miles away, it can be heard clearly, after the sentinels on both sides heard this sound, Pegasus rushed to the camp overnight, so the camps on both sides of the strait were immediately brightly lit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "What?" Altan's ministry was ambushed? How did the Song army find out about their whereabouts? In fact, Tuo Lei did not sleep at all, and had been leaning against the bear skin of the big tent with his clothes and pretending to sleep, and when he heard the news, he immediately jumped up.
Unfortunately, no one could answer his question, so he immediately sent Pegasus to the section of the river where the accident occurred in Altan to inquire about the news on the other side.
After dawn, the original forcible crossing plan was completely canceled, and a team of scouts returned to the Mongolian camp. Altan was indeed ambushed by the Song army last night, and only a few people were able to swim back to the north bank, and now the river where the accident occurred is full of Song army boats, salvaging the body! ”
Tuo Lei suddenly collapsed on the carpet of the big tent...
At this time, Zhou Hao was still leading his troops to clean up the battlefield, carrying the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers to the shore, stripping them of their armor, collecting their belongings, and collecting knives, guns, bows and arrows into a pile.
Then the heads of these Mongol soldiers were chopped off, and after being counted, they were sent to the camp for examination.
This battle does not count the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers who sank into the river, they fought a total of 795 Mongolian soldiers, which does not include the number of corpses of the Mongolian soldiers who are still being salvaged in the river, many Mongolian soldiers were forced to jump into the Jing River, but they were all drowned or were caught up by the Song army that had been ambushed downstream and hunted in the river, more than 20 small boats wandered back and forth on the river, striving not to let go of a Mongolian soldier to escape back to the north bank of the river. The entire army of Altan's army was submerged on the bank of the Jing River, and Zhou Hao was unprepared for this battle, and waited until the Mongol army had all landed before he ordered to open fire.
First, a round of artillery fired, and the dense scattershells swept almost the entire length of the river beach, and immediately the Mongol troops who were walking in front were killed in a large area.
Then the bows and crossbows were fired, and the musketeers continued to fire intensively, and after the artillery was reloaded, it was bombarded again, and the entire Mongol army was completely disorganized.
Altan was beaten into a hornet's nest under the first round of artillery bombardment, and the Mongol soldiers immediately lost their command, although there were some centurions who were very fierce, commanding the remnants of the Mongol soldiers to counterattack, trying to seize the river bank and defeat the Song army that ambushed them, but they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows and rows of firearms...
When the Mongol soldiers landed, many of them had no armor on them, and under such an attack by the Song army, it could almost be said to be a one-sided massacre.
This kind of shelling and crossbow firing continued until the Mongolian soldiers completely broke down, fled down the river beach one after another, and tried to rob the raft and escape back to the north bank, Zhou Hao then ordered the long knife soldiers to attack, and the rows of long knife soldiers strode out of the grass and woods on the river bank with the drum beat, and neatly forced to the river beach, and then together according to the order, they raised their knives again and again, chopped down, raised their knives again, and then chopped down, like an efficient slaughtering machine, all the Mongolian soldiers who could still stand on the river beach were cut to the ground...
A part of the Mongol soldiers grabbed the wooden platoon and tried to escape back to the north bank in the wooden platoon, but at this time more than 20 light fast boats immediately came, and there were about ten Song soldiers in paper armor on each boat, which quickly blocked the river, and started a battle with the defeated Mongol rout on the river. Some of these Song soldiers were topless water ghosts, and after arriving at the battlefield by boat, they jumped into the water, dived and swam under the wooden rafts of the Mongol soldiers, and used sharp knives to cut the ropes or leather ropes that bound the wooden rafts, causing the wooden rafts to fall apart, and some boats dropped long ropes on the river, and a section of bamboo pipes was pierced on top of them, forming a blocking rope on the river surface, blocking the wooden rafts of the Mongol soldiers, making it impossible to drive towards the north bank at all...
Coupled with the fact that a large number of Song troops poured into the river beach, and the crossbowmen rained down arrows on the Mongol soldiers on the river, this battle was simply a one-sided massacre, and the Mongol army of Altan was quickly solved in the middle of the river and the beachhead on the south bank.
Only a few Mongolian soldiers with good water skills were lucky enough to escape back to the north shore by diving, and the rest of the soldiers lost their lives here.
After dawn, I saw that the corpses of Mongolian soldiers were still floating everywhere on the river, but a considerable number of Mongolian soldiers were dragged by their iron armor and sank to the bottom of the river.
This is also the reason why the number of Mongolian heads collected by the Song army is insufficient, and the corpses of some Mongolian soldiers have been washed downstream along the undercurrent at the bottom of the river, and they can't be found if they want to...
After carefully questioning the escaped Mongol soldiers about their ambush, he lamented that the survivors were taken down to rest, his face full of anger. He could now be sure that the Song army had actually noticed Altan's whereabouts a long time ago, so they had laid an ambush on the south bank in advance, so that Altan was unprepared and caused a catastrophe.
"Treacherous Han Chinese! It's damn good! The angry Tuo Lei lost his former calm, suddenly pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, and split a short table in front of him into two with a single sword.
"Handsome! Let's go back to Qingyang first! The Song army has been prepared for a long time, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to successfully capture Fengxiang Mansion, it is better to first defeat Qingyang, stabilize the situation, and then seek to enter the army! A strategist cautiously suggested to Tow Mine...
Tuo Lei had completely fallen into a rage, and immediately pointed his sword at the strategist and angrily reprimanded: "No one is allowed to say anything about withdrawing from the army!" We haven't lost yet! This battle is about the reputation of our tractor and the Mongol army, we must attack, I don't believe we can't defeat the Jing River! I will avenge Altan with my own hands. ”
Those who wanted to echo the retreat immediately shut their mouths and stood in silence in the big tent, dragging thunder and anger to walk back and forth in the big tent.
After calming the anger in his heart a little, Tuo Lei strode out of the big tent and led his men towards the river.
At this time, they saw that the Song army on the other side of the river continued to transport some bloody heads to the south bank of the river, and piled up these heads into a Beijing temple, many Song officers and soldiers were complacent at the Mongolian soldiers on the north bank of the river shouting loudly, laughing loudly at the incompetence of the Mongolian army with various accents, and even some officers and soldiers unbuttoned their pants on the spot, took out their guys and urinated on the heads of the Mongolian soldiers who built the Beijing Temple...
However, because there were too many people who wanted to pee on the heads of the Mongolian soldiers, some officers and soldiers simply ran to the river and urinated on the surface of the river, and laughed loudly while urinating, so as to insult the incompetence of the Mongolian army.
As soon as Tuo Lei calmed down a little of his anger, he was furious again, when had their Mongolian army ever been insulted like this!
"I swear here today that as long as I lead my army into the Song Realm, I will slaughter these damned Han people!" Tuo Lei pointed to the Song army on the other side of the river, and shouted hysterically...
So under the strict order of Tuolei, the Mongolian army once again set off a movement to cut down trees and build rafts on the north bank of the river, a large number of trees were cut down one by one, and then sent to the river to be tied up with ropes and leather ropes.
It's not that Tuo Lei has lost his mind, but he knows that this time Wokotai sent a large army to attack Jin, it is imperative to win, and he has to destroy the Jin country, and the most critical way is his way, they must seize Fengxiang Mansion, attack the Song realm, and then go around to the back of the Jin country, in order to destroy the Jin country, he has no way to retreat at this time, he can only move forward, forward, and then forward...
Several Song soldiers escorted a wet descendant and escorted him to Zhou Hao, and the descendant immediately knelt down in front of Zhou Hao, kowtowed to Zhou Hao vigorously, and cried while kowtowing: "Thank you general for avenging the little family!" ”
Zhou Hao looked at this descendant and asked him, "Who are you?" ”
"The little Fan Xiaowu, is a native of Fanjia Village on the north bank of the local river, our village was occupied by the Tartars a few days ago, and the whole village was killed by the Tartars at the moment, and I was the only one left in the village, and the small one was forced by the Mongolian army to drive a wooden platoon for them, so I left a life! The small one didn't want to survive, but this time he drowned a lot of Tartar soldiers with his own hands, begging the general to take in the small ones, and follow the army even if they are cattle and horses, as long as they can kill the Tartars, the small ones are willing to do it! Fan Xiaowu cried while telling his life experience, begging Zhou Hao to include him in the army.
Zhou Hao took a look at this Fan Xiaowu, last night he also saw those people in the river fighting with the Tartars in the river, knowing that this person must be telling the truth, and at the same time feeling sad for what happened to him, nodded and said, "Yes!" I'll just take you! ”
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! Fan Xiaowuyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed to Zhou Hao again and again to thank him.
"Come on, give him some clothes, take him to eat something, and then come and see me!" Zhou Hao waved his hand.
It turned out that Fan Xiaowu had drowned a few Mongolian soldiers last night, and dived back to the north bank of the river with all his might, and when he saw the Mongolian soldiers in ambush and was killed by the Song army, he jumped into the river at dawn, swam towards the south bank, and defected to the Song army here, but was captured by the Song army boats patrolling the river and sent to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao asked him in detail about the situation of the Mongolian army on the north bank after Fan Xiaowu had eaten and drunk, Fan Xiaowu had been forced to work by the Mongolian army, and he didn't know much about the situation.
When Zhou Hao replied to Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Zhou Hao really lived up to expectations!" Well done! ”
