Chapter 340: Falling short

"Let the farmers get on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" shouted Zu Dashou.

"Yes." Zu Zeyuan's mouth opened and closed, but he still obeyed the order.

At this time, let the farmers meet the top of the two blue flag armor soldiers who are about to arrive, and there is basically no way to live, but in order to rush out, not to mention these farmers at this time, even the soldiers of the ancestral family can't take care of it, these are not a matter.

Under the threat of the soldiers and guns in the back, many people carried sacks and ran to the second long trench, many people cried while running, they were not stupid, they had eyes and ears, and saw the dust more than ten zhang high in the distance, as well as the shouts of Jiannu, they knew that this was the road of nine deaths and one life, and it was a death to be defenseless and no armor to protect themselves in front, but if they didn't impact, now the soldiers could kill them.

When the first half of the Minfu team just threw the sack into the long trench, and the second half just approached the long trench, the cavalry of Jiannu was also close to seventy or eighty paces.

Suddenly there was the crisp sound of countless bowstrings in a radius of several miles, and then the sound of the slightest feathered arrow breaking through the air, and the dense arrows on both sides were like dark clouds covering the scorching sun, as if the sky had darkened.

The arrows fell downwards with a screech, carrying the shadow of death with them.

A large number of people fell to the ground with arrows in their bodies, and there was nothing on their bodies to cover them, and some people died immediately after being hit by several arrows.

And many of the Ming troops were also unarmoured, and they were killed and wounded by arrows like the people, and immediately, there was a howl and cry north of the long trench, and countless people rolled on the ground.

And the arrows of the Ming army also rained down, but the Jiannu armor soldiers were all in iron armor, and many people's iron armor was pierced by arrows and injured. But there were very few casualties, and most of the dead were trampled to death by other horses after being hit by arrows and dismounting.

Zu Dashou smiled sadly, he watched Jiannu go from almost no armor to very little iron armor, and finally all iron armor.

The dignified Ming soldiers actually reached the point of fighting for their lives with their flesh and blood against the armored Jiannu.

He used his hand to remove the iron shield that the family had shielded him and shouted, "Fill the trench." Fill in the trenches. ā€

Zu Zeyuan and Zu Kefa ordered the soldiers to continue to drive the people who could still move to fill the trenches.

The men were almost stunned by the rolling casualties on the ground, and did not continue to fill the trenches until they were beaten with knives and guns by the soldiers.

The two sides continued to shoot at each other in this place, the Ming army gritted its teeth and filled the trenches, after nearly ten rounds of mutual firing, the Ming army and civilians suffered all casualties, and most of the long trenches were added.

"Throw the sack and the dead man in it." Zu Dashou shouted.

At this time, there were no more people, and the Ming army threw the sacks and dead and wounded people into the long trench with their own hands, and the people who were not dead begged for mercy. But the Ming army turned a deaf ear, they wanted to fill the trenches, they wanted to live, and they didn't care about anything else for this.

When the sacks, corpses and living people basically filled the long trench out of a flat ground dozens of steps long, the Ming army swarmed up and rushed out from this flat ground, while the Ming army's crossbowmen fired frantically regardless of the soreness of their arms.

Some of the soldiers of the two blue banners kept fighting back at the Ming army with their riding bows in the same place, while others abandoned their horses and approached the long trench under the command of Mang Gurtai's half-brother Dege. The Ming army began to fight on foot with the swarming Ming army, and both sides suffered heavy casualties for a while. Many people fell and died.

"Ai Bali, you take five bulls to block the right," Derg ordered.

Kelel's true love for Bari commanded him to go away with a thousand men.

"Tunbulu, you command five Niu Lu to resist the left, and you can't let the Ming army rush over." Derg shouted.

Jiale Ezhen Tun Bulu shouted loudly and drove straight to the left.

Derge and Gushan Zhenselenzi brought five Niu Lu to resist the front, and thousands of soldiers on both sides fought bravely.

Mang Gurtai stayed in the second half to observe the fighting. He sat upright and immediately watched for a while, and then he knew that the Ming army was really desperate.

Many Ming soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot the impact of death, he saw a Ming army shot in the abdomen, but this Ming army stumbled and hugged a soldier and jumped into the trench together, and some of the Ming army's moves were all the same, it was simply the rhythm of not surviving but dying quickly.

The two sides died near the left side of the long trench in the tea effort. Fortunately, the momentum of the Ming army's brave charge was stifled, and the two sides entered the scorch.

Mang Gurtai looked to the east, but still didn't see the reinforcements, he scolded in his heart, good you eighth, put my two blue flags in the south where the Ming army must break through, just to damage the strength of my two blue flags, you are ruthless enough.

Now my two blue flags and the Ming army have been fighting for a long time, and the two white flags of the Ming army in the east have no movement, I don't believe that Azig Dolgon dares to do this to me without your instructions, hum, you are so ruthless.

Zu Dashou saw that his own vanguard was suppressed in the south of the long trench, and his heart was very anxious, at this time, the two white flags that should send troops to aid the two blue flags have not moved for a long time, which can be regarded as a godsend, there must be the filth of the eight banners of infighting, and the so-called opportunity will not come again.

"Zerun will go into battle with me." Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and said.

"Father, I still lead the troops to charge into battle, this place is too dangerous, it is better for my father to press the formation in the rear." Zu Zerun was shocked, if Zu Dashou had a good one, the entire ancestral army would be defeated.

"When is it, if our army can't break through the two blue flags to block it, when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, everything will be over." Zu Dashou shook his head and said.

He straightened his helmet, drew his saber, and made a gesture to the five hundred cronies around him, urging the horse forward.

Zu Zerun and the rest of the family surrounded Zu Dashou and went straight to the fierce and cruel battlefield ahead.

When the banner of Zu Dashou's general army moved forward, the morale of the Ming army present was greatly boosted, and then the morale of the soldiers was an extremely important weapon in this era.

This put great pressure on Derge and others, and the defense line was precarious, after all, the Ming army here was fighting to the death, and the two blue flags also gave up the best cavalry warfare, and the Ming army was fighting on foot near the left of this dirt slope, which could be regarded as attacking the enemy's strength with his own decision.

Mang Gurtai pulled out the long knife in pain, he wanted to order the fifteen Niu Lu around him to also go up, to be honest, he was reluctant, and if he continued to fight, his subordinates would be broken, and at this time he swallowed Huang Taiji's heart alive.

But if he doesn't resist, once the Ming army breaks through, then Huang Taiji, who has always regarded him as a thorn in his side, will not let go of this great opportunity, he will be fined some Niu Lu is certain, and even the position of the owner of the blue flag is in jeopardy.

At this moment, billowing smoke and dust rose several miles to the east, and at a glance, a large force of cavalry was rapidly approaching, and Mang Gurtai was relieved.

He urgently ordered five Niu Lu to come forward to help in the battle, as long as he held on until the two white flags arrived smoothly.

Zu Dashou Fang arrived at the front line, and was about to lead five hundred elites to charge the battle, when he found a change in the east, he was at this time the heavens and men were fighting, whether to fight or retreat.

It's a life-or-death decision.

He quickly calculated whether he could rush out, and how far he could escape, rush out, and pay a lot of casualties, because Mang Gurtai would not let the two blue flags be lost, otherwise what would be the competition with Huang Taiji, the feud between the two of them is well known in Liaodong, which is also the biggest reliance on Zu Dashou's breakthrough today.

However, if the casualties are too great, then as soon as the thousands of reinforcements from the two white flags in the east arrive, what will he use to resist, he will still not be able to run far, he believes that Huang Taiji will have other arrangements on the way from here to Jinzhou.

Zu Dashou looked at the southwest direction of Jinzhou with infinite affection, which was the base camp of his ancestral family, and it was the foundation for him to stand firm in Daming, and he couldn't go back at this time.

"Give the order to withdraw the troops." Zu Dashou let out a long sigh.

Zu Zerun immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

But the two armies are intertwined and fighting, and it is not easy to get rid of the opponent and retreat safely.

For a time, the two armies were staggered and entangled, and under Zu Dashou's strict orders, the soldiers began to gradually break away from the battle line.

At this time, the two white flag reinforcements who came quickly arrived came to the battlefield under the command of Gushan Turge.

Turg then the two armies immediately joined the battle formation, at this time he didn't want to go to Mang Gultai to eat the whip, this cat is tired of his door, why is he eager to try, but Azig Belle Ye is not allowed.

Hehe, they are big people fighting, he can't afford to get involved, it's better to be in the battle array.

More than 3,000 people from the two blue flags and two white flags were in hot pursuit behind the Ming army, and in this case, the Ming army could not enter the city safely.

Zu Dashou was about to give the order to turn back to meet the enemy, leaving some of the soldiers to break off and the rest of the soldiers to withdraw, when he suddenly saw a figure on the edge of the innermost trench making a gesture to him to continue to retreat.

Zu Dashou was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to accelerate the retreat.

When the two white flags and the two blue flags were only a few dozen steps away from the long trench, suddenly a horn sounded, and a large group of Ming troops emerged from the north slope of the long trench, and the sound of bows and crossbows breaking through the air and the roar of firearms resounded together.

The sudden blow caused heavy casualties to the Jiannu pursuers, and many people were knocked to the ground by the firearms.

Even Turg and Tunbulu also received arrow wounds, of which Turg was quite seriously injured, an iron arrow broke through the iron arrow, turned into his shoulder, and made him fall to the ground immediately, and the guards desperately protected him and dragged him down.

Jiannu's rapid impact seemed to be blocked by a boulder, leaving about 200 corpses to retreat.

"But Gang, without you this time, I'm afraid it will not be easy for this town to retreat into the city." Zu Dashou looked at He Kegang and smiled.

"Adults have their own auspicious signs, but it's just the right time for their subordinates." He Kegang smiled and arched his hand.

He Kegang waited for Zu Dabi, who feinted in Xicheng, to retreat into the city, and he immediately led all the crossbowmen and firecrackers in the south city to aid Zu Dashou, at this time the city was insignificant compared to the 6,000 Ming army, how to defend the city without these soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that he ambushed the pursuers halfway and solved Zu Dashou's predicament.

The two of them talked and watched Jiannu slowly retreat, paying thousands of casualties, and they had to sit in the city of sorrow. (To be continued.) )
