Chapter 145

At most, it was because of the huge gunpowder bag that was thrown, which affected and killed some Liao soldiers, not to mention that the two armies were stalemate, whether Yang Tingshi and others had the courage to be ruthless, regardless of whether 3721 threw it on the top of the heads of the soldiers of the two armies.

But this order of Yelu Hugo was in the hands of Yang Tingshi and others, and thousands of torches of more than 20,000 independent Liao troops were lit, that is, they could be seen clearly at a height of several miles, not to mention Yang Tingshi and others who were more than 30 zhang above them?

As the so-called bread in hunger and cotton jacket in cold, Yelu Hugo was anxious to provide Yang Tingshi and others with the best target instructions.

And so, an unheard-of aerial bombardment began.

Three lit hundred-pound gunpowder packets fell from the sky towards the front, middle and rear sections of more than 20,000 Liao troops, and the shock wave of the explosion directly lifted the hot air balloon at a height of 30 zhang into obscurity.

And the miserable situation on the ground is like purgatory, the outermost layer of each gunpowder bag is wrapped in a layer of broken iron particles by the armory, once the hundred-pound gunpowder bag explodes, countless broken iron particles are like bullets, harvesting human lives in all directions.

If Yang Tingshi and the others were still in the sky, they would see that within a mile of their gunpowder prescription, there was no one standing, not even a complete person.

The earth-shattering loud noise made everyone within a radius of three miles bleed, but this did not include Yelu Xiuge, it was not that he was lucky, but that he had been at the back of more than 20,000 Liao troops, as the commander-in-chief, it was impossible for him to rush to the front, and Yang Tingshi and the others naturally did not fall short of this.

More than 20,000 Liao troops were all stunned when they suddenly encountered such a thunderous blow. At least thousands of people died directly from the explosions, and the survivors no longer dared to go a step south. It's not that the soldiers of the Liao army don't dare to come forward to fight, but they think that this day is thundering. It was they who offended Heaven and caused Heaven to punish them.

Nearly 20,000 Liao troops stood stupidly looking up at the black sky, and no one could make them obey the command to advance.

And under the leadership of several Liao soldiers, they began to kneel down and pray to the dark sky.

Yelu Hugo was also stupid, he naturally didn't believe that God would punish him, and just now God gave him more than 20,000 Liao troops. Let him establish immortal merits, how can he be punished for him.

He couldn't figure out how such a violent bombardment could fall from the sky, and this explosion was like a divine thunder in the Nine Heavens. There is nothing in this world that can resist the wrath of the divine thunder.

But as soon as he contacted the firearms of the Ming Kingdom, although he couldn't imagine how the Ming army could transport the firearms to his head and throw them down, Yelu Hugo was already sure that this must be the Ming army's doing.

But Yelu Huge's sobriety does not mean that the Liao army soldiers are sober, and they are subjected to such a strange bombardment in the dark night. Let the soldiers of the Liao army who have never met it tremble. Yelu Hugo had lost control of the Liao army and even the surrounding Liao army.

When the loud sound of the explosion reached Bailiyi's ears more than ten miles away. He understood that the violent explosion that Baili Wuji said had finally come, and according to Baili Wuji's order, he should retreat with the new troops around him who could be withdrawn.

However, the tragic losses of the new army have aroused the endless anger and pain of Bailiyi, and the first army has lost more than half, the commander of the left chamber Zhu Kuangye, the deputy commander of the right chamber Zhu Guilin was unfortunately killed, and the commander of the right chamber made Zhu Guichao seriously injured; The casualties of the second, third, and fourth armies have also exceeded 30%.

Baili Yi didn't want to withdraw, and no general could withstand such a tragic withdrawal of troops on the battlefield. If we insist on withdrawing the new army, I am afraid that it will be good if one of the ten people can survive. And whether those who survive can escape the pursuit of the Liao army is still unknown.

Baili Yi knew that even if he was the commander in chief at this time, the order to withdraw his troops would probably not be accepted by the commanders of all armies.

Baili Yi decided to disobey the order, and he ordered his relatives to report to Baili Wuji, "The enemy and I are stuck, and we can't retreat, and the only way to die is to repay the emperor and the country." Hoping that the emperor would think of the future, he quickly retreated south, and saved his useful body for the shame of the coming day, and the ministers led his soldiers to fight bloody battles to gain time ....... ”

The night was too long, and countless lives were lost in the darkness of the night.

Baili Wuji got the report of Bailiyi's personal guards, gasped over the case in front of him, and scolded Bailiyi's personal guards: "This guy is actually disobedient? ”

Bailiyi's personal guard replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the commander is still leading the army to fight, if the emperor has no other will, the minister will rush back to ......." ”

Baili Wuji shouted viciously: "Get out of ......." ”

Baili Wuji didn't know how much damage Yang Tingshi and the others' throws did to the Liao army, and he originally wanted to use three violent explosions to buy some time for the retreat of the new army.

And now Baili Yi disobeys the order, even if he goes to the front line now and orders him to withdraw his troops, I am afraid that the time has been missed.

"Are you really going to die here today?" Baili Wuji was unusually angry, but he didn't know if this anger was disobedience to Bailiyi's order, or the desperate situation that he and the new army would face.

But I don't know why, Baili Wuji has a trace of calmness in his heart. Maybe this is the truest thought in Baili Wuji's heart - how can it be said that there is no clothes? Walk with the son! Since there is no way to retreat, it is better to fight against the water.

In this battle, the Ming army turned from an advantage to a disadvantage in only two days, which no one could have predicted. At present, it is no longer a question of defeat, but of whether the entire army will be wiped out.

Yang Tingshi and others were only lucky enough to paralyze more than 20,000 Liao troops to go south, and for the entire battle situation, it was wishful thinking to turn it around.

In addition to these more than 20,000 people, Yelu Hugo invested more than 140,000 Liao troops, while the new army on the south bank was less than 90,000 people.

In this dark night, all casualties were hidden, and neither the Ming army nor the Liao army could estimate the battle loss rate of both sides. There is only one point, so far, the new army has still withstood the onslaught of the Liao army, and the last line of defense of the new army in front of Baili Wuji is still stable.

And Baili Wuji had already made a decision, he changed his armor, walked out of the camp briskly, and came to the 4,500 personal guards who had been assembled and on standby, including 1,500 people transferred by Baili Yi to protect Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji said: "When I started my army from Padang, I longed for a soul in the hearts of the soldiers under my command when I was still a Black Flag Guard. The spirit of the army! ”

"The soul of a soldier is selfless, the people rely on it, and the country trusts it." Baili Wuji's voice gradually became louder, "What is the military spirit?" It is the loyalty of the family and the country that 'those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away'; it is the manly integrity of 'sacrificing one's life to go to the country', and seeing death as if he were going home'; and it is the comrade-in-arms feeling of 'having no clothes and being with his son'.
