Chapter 25: Touched
Dengzhou's brass trumpet blew the trumpet of the charge, the road was full of killings, the Houjin soldiers in front of the battle left the corpses all over the ground and the wounded fled for their lives, the defeat was like an avalanche, many people discarded the long weapons that got in the way, they just wanted to find their horses and escape from this place.
The Houjin soldiers who were originally in the rear of Dengzhou bypassed the position from the woods on both sides and joined the ranks of fleeing, and the first team of Dengzhou soldiers soon arrived at the position, and the bloody battlefield in front of them shocked them all on the spot.
The first to arrive was Liu Yue, the commander of the 20000 headquarters, who commanded two companies to pursue the Houjin army through the position, and he himself slowed down and came to Zhu Feng, who was standing in the same place.
Liu Yue is a Wendeng mountain citizen, a soldier in the second year of Chongzhen, participated in most battles in Dengzhou Town, he has seen a lot of corpses and a sea of blood, but he has never seen such a tragic battlefield.
Wisps of white smoke were still emitting from the crater of the mine blast, and the small semicircular position was full of corpses, and the corpses at the position of the breastwork became a slope that could be stepped directly over the breastwork. Some of the wounded soldiers squirmed among the piles of corpses, making some muffled moans. Liu Yue stepped on the corpse and jumped into the position, which was covered with red, red military uniforms, and red blood.
Many of the corpses were still in the same posture as they were in battle, and one of the soldiers in front of Liu Yue was holding a Houjin soldier with an ear in his mouth, and his back was pierced by a broken spear, which killed the Houjin soldiers under him as well.
When Liu Yue raised his eyes, a red flag appeared in front of him, with more than a dozen holes on it, but the flying tiger with teeth and claws was still there. Twenty or thirty Dengzhou soldiers were surrounded near the flagpole, and many people still needed to support each other, and less than 50 of the 460 Dengzhou soldiers could stand.
A bloodied man staggered not far away, Liu Yue confirmed from his military uniform that he was a Dengzhou officer, but the mark was completely unclear, he walked quickly to the person, and finally identified it as Zhu Feng, the commander of the first department.
Zhu Feng was about to fall down softly, Liu Yue hurriedly helped him, Liu Yue saw that Zhu Feng's eyes were dull, and he quickly called the medical soldiers, and he took out a coconut scoop to feed Zhu Feng water.
"Mr. Zhu Qian! Mr. Zhu Qian! Liu Yue shouted in a row, but Zhu Feng never answered.
Zhong Laosi's loud voice came, "Liu Yue, who told you to stop here, immediately lead the team to attack Jiannu on the opposite side!" โ
Zhong Lao Sisi strode in front of him, saw Zhu Feng at a glance, and shouted to Zhu Feng: "Mr. Zhu Qian, you are really capable, Lao Tzu originally thought that you were too young, but now you have impressed Lao Tzu, who will dare to disobey our second guard battalion in the future, Zhao Xuan?" โ
"Lord Zhong!" Zhu Feng suddenly woke up and stared at Zhong Laosi, "Commander Zhao is dead." โ
"Officer Zhao ......" Zhong Laosi looked at Zhu Feng, who was covered in blood, and paused, and the staff officers and soldiers who heard it around him all stopped.
After a long while, Zhong Laosi broke the silence and said to Liu Yue: "You continue to lead the team to pursue!" The fourth company attacked along the main road, and the director of Jimo, you were responsible for clearing the woodland beside the road, covering the flanks of the flintlock pikemen, and defeating the Jiannu queen. Keep biting their tails until you can't run. Jiannu's momentum was taken and suffered heavy losses, they were already unbearable to fight, you give Lao Tzu speed, speed, cut off the way for them to evacuate, all those who fled into the forest will not pursue, the main force has been attacking along the avenue, I want you to at least occupy Samaji Fort, cut off the main retreat of those armor soldiers, they will starve to death in the mountains. โ
Liu Yue and the director of Jimo saluted Zhong Laosi and left, Zhong Laosi immediately called Zhou Shao'er, "Take the second company to follow behind the third company, serve as a reserve, if you attack Shun lรฌ, you are responsible for occupying Caohe Fort, those Jiannu have no food and grass, they can only go back to Liaozhong over the mountains, although they are hunters, but they are not savages, they may not be able to survive much, leave the first company here, help the first general brothers." โ
After finishing the arrangement for Zhou Shao'er, Zhong Laosi said to Zhu Feng: "Take me to see the brothers...... and Zhao Xuan. โโฆโฆ
Zilharang said loudly to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, Great Khan go quickly, the Dengzhou soldiers are coming." โ
Huang Taiji didn't react, Ji'er Harang was full of sweat, and saw that a team of Dengzhou soldiers had come out of Fang Cai's position, and it was also a flying tiger skull flag with a red background, and the speed was very fast, and many armored soldiers who couldn't escape were shot dead by their platoons. The armor soldiers and Baoyi who participated in the attack just now were fleeing for their lives, and the Houjin soldiers could not attack for a long time and suffered heavy losses, and their morale was already extremely low, and the opponent's fresh army suddenly appeared on the battlefield with a strict lineup, and it was impossible for the Houjin army to confront it head-on at this time, and the shape was very critical.
Before the attack, Huang Taiji asked Zilharang to prepare part of the Bayala defense, these elites were accustomed to fighting alone, and at this time left the main road to let the defeated army pass through Guรฒ, and could use the high rate of fire of bows and arrows to block the Dengzhou soldiers at the edge of the woods. Although he was still prepared, Zilharang was still terrified in his heart, and he had lost his heart in the first battle, and at this time of demoralization, he believed that those Bayalas were actually panicking, and that no morale was fatal for those who served as cover for the postponement.
Huang Taiji was still looking at the military flag planted on the opposite position, and the flying tiger was dancing in the wind, as if he was laughing at the Houjin soldiers.
"Great Khan, let's go, the Dengzhou soldiers are coming soon."
Huang Taiji stared at the military flag and said softly: "Why, why." โ
Zilharang didn't have the heart to think about it, and hurriedly waved his hand to Sonny behind, and the close minister also hesitated, and finally found a few Baya sentries to go up and drag Huang Taiji away.
The defeated soldiers passed by the Khan's banner, and no one even noticed that the Great Khan of Houjin was here, they discarded their armor and heavy weapons, and ran as fast as they could to the place where their horses were tied, and they grabbed one of them and ran.
After Huang Taiji went up the avenue, Jilharang led the troops to break off to prevent those chaotic soldiers from colliding. Under the escort of a group of Ge Bush Xianchaoha, Huang Taiji was pushed on the horse in a trance, Sonny dragged his reins and ran, after the back turn, Huang Taiji's eyes slowly condensed, there were nearly a thousand horsemen standing on standby on the side of the road, at this time, seeing the defeated soldiers in the queue in chaos, there was a possibility of immediate collapse.
"Raise the flag of sweat." Huang Taiji said suddenly.
Sony hurriedly called the flag bearer to erect the flag, Huang Taiji slowly rode his horse past the queue, calmly looked at the queue, and the queue suddenly calmed down, this more than 1,000 people are the people of the yellow flag, and the authority of Huang Taiji is unquestionable.
Huang Taiji rode his horse past the queue, Niu Lu Zhangjing and Pashi Kukong at all levels held the armor soldiers, followed Huang Taiji's horse and slowly withdrew, and Jierharang continued to lead the troops to break the rear to prevent the rout from impacting the queue.
The sound of guns in the rear row was endless, and the Houjin cavalry slowly accelerated and quickly withdrew towards Caohe Fort......
"Wow", Peng Yunfei lay on the chest wall and spit out.
Tang Wei hurriedly handed him a coconut scoop, and Peng Yunfei poured a few mouthfuls of water into his mouth before he felt a little better. Around them, the surviving Dengzhou soldiers rested against the breastwork, and the soldiers of the first company took care of them carefully.
On the battlefield, stumps and pieces of flesh flew everywhere, and Peng Yunfei was on the battlefield for the first time, which completely changed his previous imagination of war. Tang Wei has seen it many times, he saw a large-scale battle for the first time by the Huan River in Linxian County, and later cleaned up the battlefield, and he has been in contact with the atmosphere of the battlefield, so he can be regarded as a veteran from this point.
But the cruelty of today's battlefield made Tang Wei not expect that in the past, Dengzhou suppressed others to fight, but today it is besieged by several times the enemy, and only a fraction of the four hundred and sixty people remain, and among the nearly fifty people who can still stand, there are more than 30 people who are injured, and only more than 10 people are not injured at all.
Tang Wei's Second General and First Company was left on this position, not only as a support point, but also to help rescue the wounded, and all kinds of bloody scenes shocked him in his heart.
The last experience of the Fulu Army, so that Tang Wei has an indescribable feeling of these young soldiers, when they usually come into contact, they feel that they are very fanatical, and even play football is almost every day to fight, Tang Wei at that time still thought that these young soldiers are not aware of the sky, now seeing such a scene, has changed his opinion, the famous Jiannu wolf bรจi fled in front of them.
Tang Wei took out a few pieces of treasured rock candy from his backpack and distributed them to several wounded soldiers around him one by one, and one of the wounded soldiers smiled at Tang Wei. Peng Yunfei rubbed his chest, feeling better, after he took a few breaths, he pulled Tang Wei's clothes and said in a low voice: "Why did you see the platoon commander there?" โ
Tang Wei glanced at the middle of the position, only to see Liu Liu squatting on the ground, carefully looking for something, Tang Wei turned his head and whispered to Peng Yunfei: "Master Zhao Xuan, the instructor, was killed, I heard that it was the last time to ignite the gunpowder and die with Jiannu, his body was blown up, and Liu Liu was helping him put his body away." โ
"Lord Zhao is dead?" Peng Yunfei looked at Tang Wei in surprise, and after seeing Tang Wei's affirmative nod, Peng Yunfei closed his eyes and said, "On the way to Tongyuan Fort the day before yesterday, he was still talking to me, and he also patted me on the shoulder, saying that I am a general's material." It's a pity, Lord Zhao is a good person. โ
Tang Wei shook his head and sighed: "Zhao Xuan is a good person, Liu Liu respects Lord Zhao the most, I heard him say that when he was still a military household in Lushun, he followed the army to fight Jinzhou, and at that time he wore a ragged clothes, no one was willing to take care of them, it was Lord Zhao who gave him a new piece of his own clothes, and treated him as a brother, he said that he was grateful to Lord Zhao all his life, but now Lord Zhao has blown up like this...... Lord Zhong had to go to Caohe Fort, and Liu Liu took it by himself. โ
Peng Yunfei's eyes were a little red, and Liu Liu over there was lying on the ground, focused as if he was laying a mine cannon.
Tang Wei sighed in a low voice, and Xie Fei leaned over from the side and said, "Fatty, if it was our second president at that time, it would be our first connection, then it would be time for us to fight this battle." Tang Wei's heart trembled, the figure of his parents flickered in front of him, Tang Wei quickly patted his head, and asked himself not to think about those things.
Xie Fei said in a low voice: "Fatty, look at these young soldiers ruthlessly, Lao Tzu's heart is full of ups and downs. None of us are soldiers to be soldiers, if you can live after this battle, you will be discharged at the end of the year. Guan Xiaomei is now a big family, not an ordinary family like us can think, honestly go home to marry a daughter-in-law, in the future, a few of our brothers will partner to do some small business, why don't you make money now, it is as comfortable as a child. Besides, you're the only one in your family, and your father and mother are still waiting for you to raise it. โ
Tang Wei tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally hummed in a low voice, the two spoke very quietly, and the people next to them didn't hear it, Peng Yunfei, who had finished resting, rubbed his hands, walked to the middle and said, "Huang Shandu has gone to help the platoon leader, do you want to go." โ
Tang Wei stood in place, and after a while, he turned around and said, "I'll go too." (To be continued.) )
