Chapter 606: The Siege of Thang Long Eleven
The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce.
Mo Dengyong was afraid that he would delay here for a long time, so that Mo Zhengzhong's side would be completely defeated. The situation is out of control. Let Moh's influence only be in this mere city. At that time, even if he could defend Thang Long City, the place outside Thang Long might not still be owned by the Mo Clan.
Mo Dengyong understands very well that he is not surnamed Li. There is not such a high prestige in Annam.
So Wu Ming must be resolved as soon as possible.
And Wu Ming accepted Zhu Houhuang's order to block the Mo army, even though Mo Dengyong's troops were more than twice as many as his. All Wu Ming can do is to defend to the death, and to the death, and there will be absolutely no retreat. And Wu Ming is the most popular soldier on weekdays, only Wu Ming does not retreat at this moment, even if there are more casualties, Wu Ming's subordinates will grit their teeth and stand firm.
Therefore, both sides fought hard regardless of casualties, and where the two sides fought, corpses were everywhere, and everyone almost stepped on the high and low corpses to fight. It explains what is called the place of the corpse. Attacking the city on weekdays also gives people a time to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses, but at this moment, the two sides can't even leave a gap to collect the corpses, so they can only let countless feet desperately step on these fresh corpses, and finally step on a ball of flesh.
Mo Dengyong looked at Wu Ming's banner from a distance, and his heart sank little by little.
A lot of battles, fought to the end, is to fight whose breath in the chest is the first to vent.
And Mo Dengyong estimated that the morale of his army would be discharged first. Mo Dengyong still understands the ability of his subordinates, not that his subordinates do not work hard, but the casualties are too great, in a short period of time, the place where the two sides are fighting is obviously higher, not that the land has become higher, but that the corpses have raised the ground, Mo Dengyong does not know his casualty figures, but hastily calculated, the corpses on the battlefield, whether they are Yongjun's or Mo's, are more than 15,000 when they are gathered.
Sometimes, Mo Dengyong also had to admit that the battle of the Yongjun army was above the Mo army, indicating that most of the fifteen thousand corpses were his subordinates.
The people lying on the battlefield are already dead and can't die anymore, but with experience, Mo Dengyong can conclude that there are several times as many wounded on the battlefield. Many of the wounded do not receive effective treatment at all, and for them the injury is equivalent to waiting for death. Although Yongjun did better than Mo Jun, by modern standards, it was just fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Among the wounded on the battlefield, the number of those who died on the spot is still higher than the number of those who died on the spot.
And Mo Dengyong was full of calculations, and only brought about 50,000 Mo troops. This is also the only elite in his hands who can fight field battles and fight vicious battles. In this way, how high are the casualties of the Mo army, in one day, the fierce battle is endless, there are such large casualties, and the Mo army is not iron-clad, how much morale can it have?
However, at this time, Mo Dengyong looked at the current iron wall on the Yongjun in the distance suspiciously. Secretly said: "Isn't this Yongjun really iron-beaten?" ”
Of course, the Yongjun army is not iron-clad, and the casualty ratio of the Yongjun army is still above the Mo army.
At this moment, on the side of the Yongjun, all those who can move must go into battle to kill the enemy, but even so, all the people who can move in the Yongjun army are only in their early 10,000s, you know, Wu Ming brought four battalions, about 20,000 people to snipe the enemy here. Half of the dead and wounded have long since passed. Wu Ming only felt that the inside of his boots was slimy and uncomfortable, but he couldn't move, because he knew that what was inside the boots was blood, not foot sweat.
Several arrow wounds on his body had never healed, and blood flowed down the wounds and into his boots. It's just that I can't see it very clearly with all my armor. If someone lifted Wu Ming's helmet cover, they would know that Wu Ming's face was as pale as paper at the moment, without a trace of blood. It's like a zombie.
Wu Ming held on, letting the bow and arrows rain down, shooting beside Wu Ming, and on the shield held high by the guards in front of him, snatching and grabbing, and the sound of arrows nailing to the shield has never been broken. After a long time, the guards standing in front of Wu Ming couldn't hold the shield a little, because the shield was full of arrows, and it weighed dozens of catties at once.
Wu Ming knew that not only was he holding on, but the soldiers under his command were not holding on?
Whether it is the Yongjun army or the new army formed by Wang Yangming, there is a characteristic, that is, the sons of good families join the army, and each of them is a soldier, and they can track down a certain family. Zhu Houhuang rewarded Yongjun with heavy punishments, if there is military merit, rewarding hundreds of acres of land is a trivial matter, anyway, there are a lot of undeveloped land in Dongyong, but once punished, it is likely to be associated with the family, some crimes admit guilt and surrender to the law, you can not implicate the family, but some crimes, even after admitting guilt and surrendering the law, must also implicate the family, the most important of which is to abandon the Lord and flee.
With the strictness of Dongyong's military law, the military judges under Li Liangqin are all supervising the battle behind, and some of the military judges have even died in battle. There is also the grace of Wu Ming to lead the troops, and under the grace and authority, even if these soldiers are full of resentment, they do not dare to flee without authorization.
However, their hard times are coming to an end.
Listening to the horse's hooves behind him, hundreds of cavalry came from behind, and Wu Ming was overjoyed.
In the vicinity of Shenglong, only Zhu Houhuang can take out hundreds of horses. So the person who came must be Zhu Houhuang's person.
Sure enough, a big Yu flag was opened, and it was Yu Dayou who came to the rescue in person. Raise a flag upside down overhead, shake it back and forth, and then drag it behind the horse, as if it was an acrobatic trick, around the battlefield for half a circle, the battlefield suddenly became silent, and then the Yongjun shouted loudly: "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng." In an instant, they vented all the depression that they had been pressed and beaten by the enemy.
And Mo Jun's morale collapsed with the naked eye, and the biggest blow was Mo Dengyong, Mo Dengyong's body shook and almost fell to the ground.
Because the big flag that Yu Dayou was dragging was nothing else, it was Mo Zhengzhong's general flag. Mo Zhengzhong's general flag is here, so what will happen to Mo Zhengzhong, it can be imagined, for the soldiers, it may be just a big defeat, but for Mo Dengyong, it is another white-haired person sending a black-haired person. Let Mo Dengyong accept it.
However, the reason why Xiaoxiong is Xiaoxiong is that he knows when to do something, even though he is grief-stricken in his heart and wants to die with Yongjun, but reason stops him, he bites the pressure and says: "Retreat." ”
Mo Dengyong understood very well that the purpose of these hundreds of horsemen was to hit the morale of the Mo army? Does it relieve the pressure on Wu Ming's department? The thread that the Mo army had already held to the limit was broken when this flag came.
There will be no result in the fight, and what we have to do now is to stop the loss in time so that the rest of the army can return to Thang Long City safely.
The Mo army has an advantage on the battlefield, and after a fierce battle all day, both sides are already a little exhausted, and they have no intention of fighting, so the Mo army retreated slowly, Wu Ming did not pursue, Yu Dayou led the patchwork cavalry, drove them away for a while, and saw that they showed no signs of turning back, and they came back.
Yu Dayou turned over and dismounted and came to Wu Ming's side, and said, "Congratulations to Lord Wu, this battle will definitely be the first achievement." ”
Wu Ming smiled reluctantly and said, "Really? "The voice was shriveled and hoarse. However, Yu Dayou is not strange at all, there are also those who command a day's battle and shout hoarsely, he just feels that Wu Ming's breath is a little empty.
Yu Dayou said: "This is His Highness's words, saying that without you desperately containing here, there would be no such big victory." ”
"Did you win big?" Wu Ming asked.
Yu Dayou said: "Of course we won, thousands of beheadings and more than 10,000 prisoners, and the wolf soldiers invited by the Mo army didn't dare to show their heads at all, and they were all defeated." ”
"That's good, that's good." Wu Ming said and said, the whole person pounced on the ground, Yu Dayou was taken aback, and shouted: "Call the medical officer." He shouted as he hurriedly removed Wu Ming's armor. After a while, he found that Wu Ming had several arrows on his body. Wu Ming's position was the most conspicuous place in the entire war, and it was also the place where the competition was fiercest.
Wu Ming didn't know how many swords he had in his body, and even the armor didn't completely protect Wu Ming's body.
