Chapter 274: Bloody Battle in the Three Camps
At night, it is still as quiet as water, insects are squeaking, and the moonlight is a little cold on the ground. The torches on the city were crackling and burning, and Mrs. Qi walked slowly on the city tower with the sword at her waist, her brows furrowed slightly.
Standing on the pass at the head of the city, letting the wind blow herself, Mrs. Qi was in a very complicated mood. Although the battle had only been going on for a day, the Santun battalion had already suffered heavy casualties. Just now, Mrs. Qi had already gone to check the casualties, nearly 800 people were killed in battle, and nearly 1,000 people were injured, which made Mrs. Qi's heart sink to the valley.
Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Mrs. Qi sighed softly, Jiannu's madness exceeded her expectations, and obviously exceeded Qi Jin's expectations. Through the daytime battle, Mrs. Qi knew that Jiannu was completely ignoring casualties, or filling it with human lives.
Slowly raising her head and looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Mrs. Qi sighed softly. The current Santun camp is stormy, and the original elite Qi family army has been forced to this part, and once upon a time, the Qi family army was also more than 10,000 cavalry, and its combat effectiveness was extraordinary. Now it has fallen to such a point, which makes those soldiers who shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty feel embarrassed!
Slowly turning her gaze to the Jiannu camp not far away, Mrs. Qi's gaze fell on the Jiannu camp not far away, and she sighed softly in her heart. Mrs. Qi also understood that Jiannu was persecuting Qi Jin, and the Santun camp could not be lost. Santun Camp is the root of the Qi family army, and it is the place where Qi Jin was ordered to guard, if the Santun camp is lost, I am afraid that the entire Qi family army will be punished.
Jiannu, who was unwilling to face Qi Jin, wanted to force Qi Jin out in this way, and in the face to face on the battlefield, Mrs. Qi believed that the Qi family army would definitely suffer heavy losses, and even be wiped out. At this time, Mrs. Qi's mind couldn't help but sound the words of Wang Quan during the day, sometimes you really have to make a choice, but this dilemma is too difficult.
Whether the Santun camp can hold out until tomorrow morning is unknown, and she took out a bamboo tube in her arms, and Mrs. Qi gently wiped it, which was the signal cannon that Qi Jin handed over to her. If the Santun camp can't hold on, Mrs. Qi will light this signal cannon, and Qi Jin will come out with people.
In the Jiannu camp outside the city, Huang Taiji was patrolling the camp to comfort the injured soldiers. The casualties of Huang Taiji in this battle were also very large, nearly 2,000 people died, but only 800 were wounded, which further illustrates the tragedy of the battle.
Looking at the Eight Banners who were moaning in pain, Huang Taiji's face was gloomy and terrifying, but the gaze in his eyes became more and more determined. Occasionally, his eyes were full of determination when he looked at Santun Camp, and his hand holding the knife became tighter and tighter.
A few miles away from the Jiannu camp, in the camp of the Qi family's army, Qi Jin was also talking to Man Gui.
"General, the scout is back! Jiannu fought for a whole day and camped three camps today, and it seems that he is preparing to fight again tomorrow. Jiannu's offensive was fierce, regardless of casualties, and the Santun camp was very dangerous. According to the scouts sent, if Jiannu continues this offensive tomorrow, the Santun camp may not be able to hold on! Looking at Qi Jin, who was frowning, Man Gui said in a low tone.
Loosening his clenched fist, Qi Jin sighed helplessly, and said in the same low voice: "Santun Camp is the root of the Qi family's army, the old, weak, women and children are all in the city, no matter what, the Qi family's army can't be lost." If Jiannu continues to attack the city like this early tomorrow morning, we will pull out the camp. Although General Ben was reluctant to engage in such a battle, the Qi family army was not afraid, and only this battle was death. ”
Nodding slowly, Man Gui said with a firm expression: "General, Man Gui led people to follow the general and live and die with the Santun camp." ”
Walking to Man Gui's side, Qi Jin patted Man Gui's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "This time I didn't see the wrong person, we live and die with Santun Camp." ”
The night was different for many people, some wished it passed quickly, others wished it passed more slowly. But time does not change with anyone's will, and no matter what you think, time does not change. In the expectation of countless people, the sky changed brightly, and Santun Camp began to get busy.
Whether it is the Qi family army in the city or the Huang Taiji outside the city, both sides are rapidly busy. The sun has not yet risen, Huang Taiji has already led people out of the camp, and more than 20,000 people and horses are standing quietly in front of the Santun camp.
"Sanko, you did a very good job yesterday, and today you are working harder, as long as you can take the Santun camp, I promise you to give half of the things in the Santun camp to your men." Huang Taiji looked at Sanko Taiji and said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Lord Belle, Sanko will definitely take the Santun camp and leave!" He said that Sankotaiji circled his horses and rushed forward with 5,000 men.
The battle started again, the same process as yesterday, but it seemed to be much less difficult. Sanko commanded the men and horses to come to the city of Santun Camp in half an hour, and after setting up the ladder, he began to climb up.
The Santun camp was covered with wood and stones, and the boiling water feather arrows were constantly falling, and the two sides began a tug-of-war again.
Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji nodded slowly, according to this progress, it only takes three hours to take the Santun camp. Looking back, there was a faint sneer on the corner of Huang Taiji's mouth, Qi Jin hoped that you would come early.
The Qi family's army, which was a few miles away, won the battle, and it was also busy at this time, no one collected the tents, and everyone was preparing for war. Some are packing up their horses, others are wiping their knives, and some are tidying up their armor.
Wearing armor on his body, sitting on a horse, looking at the soldiers below, Qi Jin said loudly: "Santun Camp is our roots, our children, our mother-in-law, and our parents are all in it. Jiannu is attacking Santun Camp, we can't watch it, as the husband of the Qi family's army, this battle will be won. ”
"This battle will be won! This battle will be won! The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
Gently circling the war horse, Qi Jin shouted loudly: "Go!" ”
The siege of Santun Camp continued, and Jiannu had already begun to climb the city wall, and melee began on the city.
Wielding the iron rod in her hand, Mrs. Qi beat a tartar back to the city with a stick, first screaming, and then falling to the ground fiercely. Without a scream, the Tartar soldier fell to his death! Carrying the iron rod, Mrs. Qi ran to another person, constantly waving the iron rod in her hand, constantly knocking down the soldiers of the Tartar, Mrs. Qi was simply unstoppable.
However, as time went by, there were more and more Jiannu Tartars in the city, and the pressure on Mrs. Qi was also increasing.
"Kill!" At this time, a shout of killing suddenly sounded behind Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi, who was surprised, hurriedly looked back. Mrs. Qi knew that there were no soldiers and horses in the Santun camp, and he didn't understand where these people came from, but when he saw them, Mrs. Qi's heart was sour.
After yesterday's battle, many people were seriously injured, and today Mrs. Qi did not let them come to the battle. The leader of these people is Wang Quan, and at this time, Wang Quan is rushing to the front, wielding a ghost head knife in his hand and constantly slashing left and right.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Qi's eyes moistened slightly, brandished the iron rod in her hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" The Qi family army will win this battle! ”
"Qi Jiajun, this battle will be won!" For a while, shouts broke out in the city, and the Qi family's army suddenly became like a rainbow.
Jiannu's offensive was immediately repulsed a lot, and only a few groups of people in the city were still supporting, but it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Seeing this scene, Huang Taiji under the city frowned, if this offensive was blocked, it was estimated that he would have to start anew. Another person who was more anxious was Sankoh, who saw this scene with a good performance, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Looking left and right, Sanko waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly: "You guys come with me, let's go up!" ”
There were about 500 people with him, and this was Sankoh's personal guard, the elite of the elite he had personally selected. Listening to Sanko's words, these people did not hesitate, some opened the road in front, some broke off in the back, and hundreds of people rushed towards the Santun camp,
Seeing this scene, Sangga Taiji, who was beside Huang Taiji, suddenly exclaimed, "Sanke! ”
Glancing at Sangga, Huang Taiji said indifferently: "Sangga Taiji, people always have to grow up, haven't you experienced the battlefield?" Never died a brother? It was inevitable that Benbel had seen too many such battles over the years, had been wounded, and had seen his brother die in front of him. ”
Slowly retreating, Sanga Taiji sighed softly, his mother doted on Sanko very much, what if he had any accidents? However, Sanga's heart is also very complicated, if Sangko is gone, then the inheritance of the tribe can be his. If this is the case, there is not much hope for you.
After listening to Huang Taiji's words and looking at Huang Taiji's gaze, Sanga Taiji nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "I hope Sangke is safe." ”
"There are no immortals in war, even if I die here, it is understandable, Sanga Taiji, whether it is you or Sanketaiji, how much you are prepared for this!" Looking at Sangga Taiji's appearance, Huang Taiji said in a rather cold voice. There was some contempt in his eyes, and the blood of the Mongols was gone.
Sanketaiji led people to rush towards the Santun camp, these people deserved to be elites and soon rushed to the city, and after macheting a Qi family's army, Sanketaiji shouted loudly: "Rush up!" Occupy the Santun camp, everything is ours! ”
With these people ascending to the top of the city, the whole battle situation became unfavorable to the Qi family army again, and the Qi family army was defeated and retreated. Although Mrs. Qi and others are struggling to support, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.
After cutting down a tartar, Mrs. Qi saw Sankotaiji commanding at the head of the city, and as soon as the iron rod in her hand was smooth, she rushed towards Sankotaiji. However, it was intercepted by several Mongolian Tatars, and the battle began instantly.
