Chapter 1342: The Last Halfway
The soldiers of the Zhao family army and the young men of Phi Dao, even together with the women and children in the fortress, are ready to see death as home, their bodies are already tense, and some people feel relieved, they know that the supplies are insufficient, and the pressure on the Jurchens of Jianzhou on the other side is getting bigger and bigger, these days have made people desperate and unbearable, and in a few days, I am afraid it will be hell.
No one cares about the ship, everyone is staring at the enemy who is about to push forward, the vicious battle is about to start, we will inevitably die, but we will drag a few together before we die, it turns out that the Tartars are not so difficult to defeat, it turns out that the Tartars are not so invincible, as long as they find the right way, they can also be defeated, I only hope that more people in Liaodong and Guannei will learn this method as soon as possible.
At this last hour, some people couldn't hold back their emotions and kept crying and sobbing, but their bodies were unswerving, and the hand holding the spear did not move at all.
The Jianzhou Jurchen military formation slowly moved forward, and then outward in the original fortress periphery position, there was originally no way to let the brigade move forward, but now that there have been corpses and mud filling in, the brigade can keep moving forward, and it can be like a battle on the flat ground, and the Jurchen military formation will be faster and faster, first rushing into the military formation of the fortress position, and the Jurchen elites who rushed to the front are wearing the iron armor of the Zhao family's army.
The battle is about to start, everyone is waiting for the Jianzhou Jurchen army to shout and roar, that is, to start charging and fighting, the daily battle is the most difficult at this moment, and when they fight face to face, they can let go and even be happy.
Faster and faster, the flag swing accelerated, the rhythm of the horn and drum began to change, and it was about to start rushing over, at this time, when the gong sounded, the Jurchen team that was accelerating suddenly slowed down, and the team even had some commotion, and the defenders of the fortress were also very surprised, this is a signal to retreat, fierce battles every day, only such a sound can everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and even such a sound sounded everyone did not dare to relax, for fear that the other party would take advantage of this trick to play some tricks, and it had been because of this heavy casualties.
However, the Jurchen army formation did slow down, and you can still see that the Jurchen officers and soldiers in the formation are looking back, and then the entire military formation stops, and then begins to slowly retreat
The defenders of the fortress did not dare to relax in the slightest, in case it was a delaying tactic, in case it was to capture the old people, the defenders of the fortress could not afford any losses, the Jianzhou Jurchen's tactics could be very flexible, and then move in and out like this, the team could still maintain no chaos, which was already an elite in the pass, if it were not for the soldiers of the Zhao family army who could also do it, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
It is also true that the advance stopped, and the slow retreat was also true, because everyone saw that before they returned to the camp, the banners were all returned, and although the front team of the Jianzhou Jurchen army formation remained on alert, it was to guard against the counterattack on this side, not to do anything.
Is it really not offensive? What the hell is going on? Zhao Song stared at the other side with wide eyes, but he couldn't see too many details, but he didn't dare to relax, so he could only hold on like this.
No matter how cautious and cautious they are, the soldiers and young men of the Zhao family army still can't help but relax, the Jianzhou Jurchen is indeed not attacking, although I don't know what happened, but now it is indeed back to the camp, and the Jianzhou Jurchen will rarely attack in the afternoon, and this day may be relaxed.
Although everyone has regarded death as home, it is always good to live one more day, and it is always lucky to be able to rest and breathe, Zhao Song exhaled on the side, waved the halberd in his hand and gave an order, leaving the company on duty, and the others began to rest, and finally a child in the fortress cried loudly, making the battlefield a little more angry.
The aroma is tangy, but the fish soup that is difficult to swallow is starting to boil again, on this island, the fresh water of thousands of people is a big problem, fortunately, the fresh water source on the Phi Island is abundant, the fortress has a well, and the culvert has been made in case of trouble, so that it can barely support until now, it is difficult to cut off the water source with the terrain like Phi Island, and the Jianzhou Jurchen is also helpless about this.
After resting for less than an hour, the person in charge of the lookout sent a signal, the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses were out of the camp again, it seems that they still have to fight, and the defenders of the fortress are commonplace to gather, ready to fight, but they didn't expect that this side has not yet finished the formation, and there was a noisy sound, everyone really couldn't help but be surprised, because after seeing the Jianzhou Jurchen army on the opposite side of the camp and assembled, they did not start to attack, but marched north, which is where the Jianzhou Jurchen grain platform camp is located, and it is also where the port of exchange with the coast is located.
Looking at the team of Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers driving out, the defenders of the fortress were dumbfounded, with the topography of Phi Island, with the naval combat ability of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses, it would definitely not be to cross the sea by boat to attack, now the wind is gradually getting stronger, the raft is a little farther away from the shore is easy to be overturned by the waves, this risk they will definitely not touch, so what is this going to do, is it necessary to feint, look at this is not like, also because of the terrain, there is no room for feints around the fortress where the battle can be fought.
"Tartar cunning, don't relax, be on guard!" Zhao Song hissed and shouted, he actually wanted to lie down and rest, but now he was the one who couldn't rest the most.
"There are more than 3,000 people left over there in the Tartars!" After fighting fiercely with each other for almost a month, the defenders of the fortress had a very clear grasp of the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they watched it so closely, so they naturally looked very carefully.
Now there are less than 2,000 people on the side of the fortress position, but relying on the geographical advantage, the more than 3,000 people on the opposite side are really helpless to attack in, of course, the defenders of the fortress have no way to rush out, even if they rush out, they have no way, they can only be trapped on this Phi Island, unless they make a raft to go to the land to beg for food from Goryeo.
When they saw this, the defenders of the fortress position were all relaxed, no matter where the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses out of the camp went, at least there would be no battle within an hour or two.
Not long after the soldiers and horses drove north, the captives in the Jianzhou Jurchen camp were pushed out, and most of the captives in Dongjiang Town on Phi Island were consumed in the battle to attack the fortress, and the rest were not used for battle, but only as logistical support.
The family affection and nostalgia and unbearability at the beginning have disappeared, and the young people in the defenders of the fortress hate each other so much that they grit their teeth, and those who can run over and dare to resist have all died, leaving only those who are numb to do things for the Jurchens, although they did not go into battle, they are still accomplices.
After seeing them being pushed out, this side subconsciously made a guard, thinking that a new round of attacks had begun, but I never thought that after those remnants of the captives stood still, the Jianzhou Jurchens began to kill, mercilessly slashing and assassinating, the captives cried and begged for mercy and wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape from the siege, and they were unarmed and they couldn't compete with the steel blades, only to hear screams, and people kept stumbling out and being cut and shot.
From the very beginning of the killing, the defenders of the fortress did not feel happy, at first silent, then angry, and finally could only watch it all silently.
Someone ran out there, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers behind him scolded angrily and caught up, and they were about to catch up after a few steps, the man stumbled and tripped over something, he stood up, but did not continue to escape, but shouted in the direction of the fortress: "Avenge us!" ”
Before the words fell, the Jurchen soldiers behind him had already caught up, and their knives fell and fell, blood splashed.
The defenders of the fortress were very silent here, but Zheng Xiaoer, who was wearing iron armor, couldn't help it, rushed out and shouted, "You guys go with peace of mind!" We're going to kill all these Tartars! ”
The soldiers of the Zhao family army are still silent, and the young people of Phi Dao who have been sheltered are also silent, although they are amazed by the strength of the Zhao family army, but they don't believe that they can really do anything about the Jianzhou Jurchen, in their minds, Xuzhou is also in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom, it is impossible to cause any damage to the Tartars.
Blood flowed, heads rolled, cries and screams shook the sky, but such a terrible scene, everyone has experienced a lot of hell scenes, and it has no impact at all, after the Jianzhou Jurchen killing, they returned to the camp by themselves, anyway, the killing was carried out by the sea, and the corpses would be taken away after the high tide, but there was no need to deal with it.
Without the captives and young men to do logistics, the combat power of the Jianzhou Jurchens is actually being reduced, and it is the transfer of troops, and the slaughter of prisoners, no matter how you look at it, they will not be defeated.
Zhao Song and the others were still on guard, and Luo Chen couldn't help but sit on the ground, the long knife was casually aside, his hands covered his face and he was silent, Zhao Song and the soldiers were slowly relaxed, and the young people who were sheltered from Phi Dao were still a little unclear.
"Jin Ye didn't leave us, Jin Ye didn't leave us" Luo Chen muttered two sentences, his voice was not high, but he choked up as he spoke.
Zhao Song dragged the halberd to him and said in a muffled voice, "Don't be happy so early. ”
The atmosphere was so silent, until it was dark, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not move, originally thought that the destruction was imminent in the morning, but when it was dark in the afternoon, it became a confrontation between the two sides, and the Jianzhou army that drove to the north did not come back.
When a bonfire went up on the opposite side, Zhao Song picked a few water-based ones, and walked along the coast with a wooden plank to find out the news and see what they were doing on the north shore.
This errand is very dangerous, you may not be able to come back if you go, and swimming along the coast, the wind is strong and the water is cold, even if you are not discovered by the Jianzhou Jurchens, you may drown under hunger and exhaustion.
I went in the evening, and I won't come back until the evening of the next day, because the Jianzhou Jurchen's inspection of the coast, especially the inspection of several key points, is very strict, and the Zhao Jiajun has already suffered a lot of damage, but what I never expected was that the next morning dawned, and the people sent out came back.
"Yingzheng, the Tartars are gone, the Tartars are gone!"
