Chapter 363: It's really helpless
On the battlefield under the afterglow of the sun, the soldiers on both sides had stopped fighting, the vast grassland was covered with dense corpses of men and horses, broken weapons, armor and battle flags, the original verdant grass turned a shocking red, the air was filled with choking gunsmoke, and the smell of blood was disgusting and disgusting.
According to the unwritten agreement during the war, the soldiers have retreated, and now the unarmed young men are collecting the corpses, loading them and pulling them to the designated place for cremation or burial, so as to avoid the occurrence of plague, and the wounded soldiers of the Phoenix Legion are directly carried down for treatment on the spot, and the dead soldiers are also directly carried into the carriage and put away, basically do not need to be collected, all the horse corpses are picked up, and they are pulled back to the camp for a meal.
The first regiment of the Phoenix Legion under the command of Dou Dayong received the third regiment, smoothly returned to the camp, and the first regiment retreated while fighting.
When he led his troops to advance more than two miles, he found that the Jin soldiers were desperately blocking at any cost, and he was puzzled, so he climbed into a carriage full of ammunition, held a monocular and looked ahead, and found that the dense Jin cavalry was rushing forward, and the smoke was billowing in the distance.
Dou Dayong didn't know what the situation of Lu Hongniang's first regiment was now, according to the original battle plan, tomorrow was the time for him to lead his troops to rush forward and respond to the return of the first regiment to the camp, but the strange situation in the distance made him wonderful, and he decided to lead his troops to continue to rush forward and kill two or three miles, see the situation and then retreat.
Lu Hongniang's regiment rushed back to kill, Dou Dayong led the three regiments to rush forward to kill, although the Jin army in the middle was desperately blocking, although the Jin army on the flank was desperately charging, but in front of the death net constructed by the dense bullet rain, no matter how brave they were, they were not afraid of death, and they were flesh and blood after all, not to mention the long battle, and the casualties were heavy, no matter how elite the troops were, it was inevitable that the morale would be low, if it was an ordinary army, I was afraid that it would have collapsed.
A regiment and three regiments do not know how many Jin soldiers were shot, after the rendezvous, the three regiments are the front army, a regiment of the palace, and then rush back to kill, at this time, the morale of the Jin army has been seriously low, can only watch the two regiments retreat to the camp, Huang Taiji saw that there was nothing to do, so he had to look up to the sky and sigh, and ordered Ming Jin to collect the troops, and returned to the palace to discuss the military situation with everyone.
Before returning to the city, the scout hurriedly reported that Amin Belle had set off three wolf smoke signals.
"Hiss......"
All the Baylor patriarchs, including Huang Taiji, couldn't help but hissed and inhaled the cold air, and the three wolf smoke signals emitted by Amin indicated that he couldn't stop Hong Chengchou's main army, and it was only half a day, and Amin couldn't hold it? That's an army of 100,000.
After returning to the palace, Huang Taiji asked his subordinates to bring food, and everyone had a meeting while gobbling up horse meat, what should I do next? He was really unwilling to give up Chagantehao City.
Don't say that he is unwilling, everyone is unwilling to give up Chagantehao City, it is not only the royal capital of the northern grassland, but also the habitat of various tribes in the vicinity, and it is also an important place of commerce and trade.
However, they are also aware of their strengths and weaknesses, they are good at field warfare, attacking fortifications is a weakness, the defense is so-so, the Ming army's muskets and artillery are powerful, and Chagantehao City is not as strong as those serious stone towns, it was bombarded by the Phoenix Army with dozens of Franc machines for several days, several sections of the city wall have appeared one after another cracks, it is estimated that more than a dozen cannons, the city wall will have to collapse.
"Master Fan, do you have any good way to say it quickly, don't be annoying." There is a bold general who shouts loudly.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on himself, Fan Wencheng secretly felt guilty in his heart, you rough embryos, now you know the importance of the old man?
"The emperor, the princes, and the ministers think that the city cannot be defended......"
"Put your forked dog stinky fart, surnamed Fan, are you a spy sent by Chongzhen Xiaoduanjun?"
"Bastard, believe it or not, Lao Tzu chopped you up and fed you to the dogs?"
"Your special Fan Wencheng ......"
The anxious Baylor clan elders and generals couldn't wait for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, and they gritted their teeth and scolded one by one, greeting Fan Wencheng and the eighteenth generation ancestors of the Fan family a hundred times, and several even drew swords and swords to chop people up.
"That's enough, shut up!" Huang Taiji, who was so angry that his face was pale, couldn't stand it anymore, and he shouted angrily, these guys with developed limbs and simple minds sometimes really make people vomit blood, and it seems that they will have to reuse some scholars in the future.
As soon as Huang Taiji was furious, Wang Ba's momentum suddenly exploded, shocking everyone in the hall, and obediently closed their mouths one by one, but their eyes glared at Fan Wencheng fiercely, they didn't dare to provoke Huang Taiji, but they had the courage to kill Fan Wencheng, a traitor.
"Master Fan, please continue." Huang Taiji calmed the frightened Fan Wencheng and motioned for him to continue, saying that he needed to listen to the views of all parties and see what inspiration he could get.
Fan Wencheng didn't dare to get nervous anymore, and carefully said his thoughts, and at the same time explained the reason, Chagantehao City Guard cannot be held, and all residents in the city must be transferred to avoid unnecessary losses, but it does not mean that the city is not defended, on the contrary, it is necessary to defend until the moment the city is broken, and then withdraw the city head, and use the buildings in the city to fight street battles with the Ming army.
The muskets of the Ming army are powerful, but it is inconvenient to use them in the alleys and alleys, our warriors of Dajin can rely on the advantages of the terrain to play a game of hide and seek with the Ming army, as much as possible to kill and injure the living force of the Ming army, in order to ensure that the warriors fighting in the city are trapped to death, most of them are stationed outside a certain city gate to ensure that the retreat is smooth, and the other cavalry roams around the Ming army to attack and harass, so that they can not attack the city with peace of mind.
Fan Wencheng's plan has not changed the current battle situation, but it is really a helpless move, if it succeeds, at least it will be passable on the face, and it will not be forced to give up in disgrace, which can be regarded as a comfort to the panicked tribes.
Huang Taiji lowered his head and pondered, and the others had any reactions, some bowed their heads and pondered, some pouted their lips and disdainful, some smiled helplessly, and some were dazed and worried, which can be described as colorful.
"What other good plans do you have?" Huang Taiji looked at everyone in the hall, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they are all silent, even the dog-headed military master Lao Fan can't think of any good way, let alone them, it's better to say less, so as not to sweat profusely, that's called bad luck.
Huang Taiji sighed, it seems that it can only be like this, he really can't figure it out, in only two or three years, why did the Ming army become so powerful?
The camp of the Phoenix Legion was also brightly lit, and Lu Hongniang, who was the commander of the first army, and the first regiment returned to the camp safely, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After the Jin army retreated to Chagantehao City, Lu Hongniang first listened to Du Yunfeng's report on the battle report of the past two days and the situation in the camp, and then convened the generals to discuss the matter, she said some things that the group had experienced, all kinds of details that needed attention, and finally decided to go out of the camp five days later to dig the embankment and open the stream, because she led the group to withdraw, and the Jin army blocked the river again.
After a night's rest, exhausted after a night's sleep, physical strength was restored, and the mental state was much better than yesterday, although there was a Jin army attack at night, but the Phoenix Legion was on guard, relying on the large battalion made of civil engineering, and the comrades-in-arms were on strict alert, coupled with a series of treacherous battles, the recruits have grown rapidly, and they will no longer be nervous and scared to sleep.
All the generals were ready to meet the Jin army to attack the camp, but what was surprising was that although the Jin army went out of the camp to line up, it did not attack, and the two sides looked at each other from afar and PK with their eyes.
Lu Hongniang and Lin Qing couldn't help frowning, what's going on?
