Chapter 82: The Flames Burn the Sky
In the main force of Mingguo, King Ruyi looked angrily at the Shiguo army that came by surprise, no one expected that this Xiao Wuchang would remove this strange trick, let the defenders on the hillside ignore it, and went straight to his rear.
Zhuge Hongtu's complexion was not very good, his sickly cheeks became more and more pale, many things today had accidents, first of all, he didn't expect that the defenders of Shi Guo on the hillside would be so tenacious, relying on the advantage of weapons to support for so long.
The second is that Xiao Wuchang, who is already a turtle in the urn, escaped under the protection of the Sky Eagle Guard, if there is no Xiao Wuchang, then the outcome of this war has already been decided.
"Strategist, what's the best plan now? King Ruyi's thick voice sounded, although Zhuge Hongtu's previous strategies had failed, he could only rely on the person in front of him now.
Zhuge Hongtu said with a smile, "Don't worry, the king will first let the three thousand infantry troops go to the rear to resist the reinforcements of the Shi country, and then order all the troops to capture the hillside at all costs, as long as they hold on for half a day, the 10,000 cavalry reinforcements in the rear will come, and at that time, the internal and external attacks will be combined, and the stone country can be broken." ”
King Ruyi nodded, and passed down the military order according to the meaning of Zhuge Hongtu, and personally commanded the army to attack the hillside, and the king personally commanded the morale of Mingguo, and the soldiers charged to the slope without their lives.
At this time, the defenders on the hillside had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, there were few arrows left in the strong bow, and the fingers of the archers were all rotted by the strong bow, and there was no strength in both arms to pull up the strong bow, Yang was also wounded in front, and his arm was pierced by arrows, but he had no time to bandage it, and commanded the soldiers to hold the defensive line.
"My lord, the Ming army is attacking desperately, and the brothers can't hold it anymore!" a soldier came to Yang Zaiqian's side.
Yang nodded in front of him and said, "Let the brothers all retreat to the camp." As he spoke, he looked behind him at the five hundred war horses with cloth bags on their backs.
Gu Qiuyu, who was seriously injured, struggled to prop up his body, and every time he moved, he felt as if his internal organs were torn, and blood kept gushing out of his mouth.
The ten people in the Yunding Hall saw that Gu Qiuyu could still stand up, and they were all like facing a great enemy, and Gu Qiuyu's martial arts just now made them worried.
At this time, I don't know who shouted, "He is already at the end of the crossbow, kill him to avenge his brothers!"
A group of people picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Gu Qiuyu, how did Gu Qiuyu vomit blood again and again, but the armor sword had appeared in his hand, and his mind moved, the armor sword flew out like a fish, and took the lives of the two in the blink of an eye.
The people in the Genting Hall froze, gritting their teeth and continuing to kill, but the Imperial Sword Decisive was mysterious and unpredictable, and it was not something they could compete with.
I saw the armor sword flying and hovering in the air, and before they could kill Gu Qiuyu, there were only two disciples left in the Yunding Palace, Gu Qiuyu's divine sense turned, the armor sword spun in the air, and another person was stabbed to death.
The rest of the person had already rushed in front of Gu Qiuyu at this time, and slashed at Gu Qiuyu, Gu Qiuyu was in severe pain, his vision was blurred, and when he saw a knife coming, he instinctively dodged to the side, let go of his neck, and his shoulder was cut in half by the long knife.
Seeing that the knife was unsuccessful, the man wanted to pull it out, but Gu Qiuyu reached out and grabbed it firmly, unable to move, only to hear the sound of the wind behind him, and the armor sword had pierced into his heart.
Gu Qiuyu just supported his body, and the injuries in his body made him vomit blood all the time, and when he saw that the last disciple of the Yunding Hall was killed by him, he lifted that breath and dispersed, and the person slowly fell to the ground.
In the dark, Gu Qiuyu seemed to see his family waving to him, Zhang Changsheng was also standing aside, looking at him with a smile, the appearance of the family was exactly the same as ten years ago, and Sister Xue had not grown up, and she was making faces at him with two pigtails.
"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and sister Xue, I'm here to find you, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. ”
On the hillside, the defenders of Shiguo have been surrounded from all sides by the army of Mingguo.
King Ruyi personally came to the front line of the team, the Ming forbidden army saw the Ming King coming, a burst of cheers, strengthened the attack, the defenders of the stone country were quickly defeated, retreated in the camp, but this camp is the Ming country vanguard to build, has not been completed, relying on this camp can not withstand the Ming army, can only use dense bows and arrows to resist the attack of the cavalry.
Mingguo's infantry raised their long shields and walked up step by step.
Yang stood at the top of the camp in front, looking at the dense Mingguo army below, and then seeing the Shiguo army killed from afar, and smiled with relief.
He motioned for all the defenders to ride on their horses, and drove out the hundreds of horses behind him, each of which was coated with grease.
Under Yang's previous order, the soldiers lit the horses with torches, and the horses were burned in pain and rushed towards the hillside.
Yang ordered the other cavalry to charge in all directions, and when the soldiers saw that reinforcements had arrived, they all lifted their spirits and rushed in all directions. Yang Zaiqian himself picked up a bow and arrow with dozens of personal soldiers, and a brazier was placed beside him.
In the distance, Xiao Wuchang personally led the cavalry of the Shi Kingdom to rush behind the Ming Guo army, only to see that there were already thousands of men and horses in front of them building a horse rejection fortification, and Ming Guo's had all rushed to the hillside, and it seemed that there were more than 10,000 people.
Li Tianye, who was also following the army, looked in the direction of the hillside and said anxiously, "My lord, the hillside has been breached, and the brothers inside are all about to die!
Xiao Wuchang did not answer Li Tianye's question, but instead looked sad and asked, "What do the soldiers who died on the battlefield call them?" ”
Li Tianye Zhengse said, "He is a martyr for the country and the people, and a loyal and brave man of His Majesty!"
Xiao Wuchang asked again, "Is it a warrior who sacrificed himself for the sake of others?"
Li Tianye was shocked in his heart and said, "He is a fearless warrior." ”
Xiao Wuchang still looked at the horses and cavalry rushing towards the enemy army in the distance, and asked, "Amano, do you know that there is a strange thing called Ghost Fire?"
Li Tianye didn't know what Xiao Wuchang's purpose was, but he still replied, "I know, this thing is an item from Nanzhou Lei Huo Tang, this thing is black, like sand, and when it encounters fire, it burns, and the fire is monstrous." ”
Xiao Wuchang nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know what happens when this kind of thing gathers together?"
"My subordinates don't know. ”
Xiao Wuchang didn't continue, but looked at the position of the hillside, and a flash of sadness flashed.
"Boom!" a loud bang shook the field, and the earth trembled with the loud sound.
Before all the Shi Guo soldiers could react, they heard a series of violent noises in the direction of the hillside, which made people dizzy and deaf in both ears.
The sound of explosions continued one after another, resounding in the sky, Li Tianye looked at the location of the hillside with a shocked face, only to see that there was a fire in the sky, where could he still see the soldiers of Mingguo, as if the explosion like fairy thunder ignited a raging flame and completely swallowed them.
The cloth bag on the horse's back was full of ghostly fire, which had begun to explode in the high temperature, and the huge shock wave had made the Mingguo soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, and the war horses were frightened and fled in all directions, colliding with each other, countless soldiers were trampled to death and injured by the horses' hooves, the whole formation was chaotic, and the officer's command voice was drowned in the roar of the explosion.
The cavalry of Shiguo on the slope rushed to the army of Mingguo, which had been blown up, and the ghost fire on his horseback was ignited and exploded. Some of the cavalrymen who were still awake wanted to run back, but their horses were set on fire by the rockets of their own people flying on the hillside.
These war horses galloped uncontrollably, some rushed towards the Ming army, and some rushed back to the front of Yang Zaiqian on the slope.
The soldiers of Mingguo who were blocking Shiguo in the rear saw a hellish scene, and they were stupid one by one, and even their commanders were stunned, not knowing whether to attack or defend.
Seeing this, the Shi army was unrelenting, and killed these soldiers with a single charge, and then continued to charge forward.
Zhuge Hongtu did not follow King Ruyi, but stayed in the rear, seeing such a miserable situation, his thin body shook and fell off the horse, a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot, and his mouth muttered, "Xiao Wuchang, you are so ruthless, you actually let my ten thousand soldiers be buried with your thousand people!
Zhuge Hongtu's last sanity was almost destroyed by this tragic explosion, and no soldiers stepped forward to help him up, and all the people were frightened stupid by the tragic situation in front of them, and they didn't know how to advance or retreat, and their hearts were like ashes.
Suddenly, a tall war horse like a giant beast rushed out of the sea of fire, and there was a person sitting immediately, it was King Ruyi, but at this time, he was wearing his upper body, blackened by smoke, and half of his long hair was also burned off by the fire, and he scattered in all directions, and the red tiger under his crotch was also burned miserably, and there was a little spark hanging on his mane.
He quickly came to the front of the remaining soldiers of Mingguo, looked up to the sky and roared, and the shocked soldiers returned to their souls and picked up their weapons one after another.
The sound of the explosion had stopped, and the soldiers of Mingguo formed a formation and evacuated with King Ruyi, who came to Zhuge Hongtu's side and pulled him to his horse.
"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, please put me down and let me die to apologize!"
King Ruyi glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't blame you for today's events, let's go!" and then ran towards the west with the remnants of Mingguo's soldiers.
Xiao Wuchang was willing to let go of such an opportunity, and chased after him with his soldiers, but there was still a distance of two or three miles in the middle, and the Shi Guo army was unable to catch up after an afternoon of fighting, so he just followed the Ming Guo army to pursue and kill some soldiers who had fallen behind.
The victory was decided, and Shi Guo won a complete victory, defeating the main army led by Prince Ruyi, and the casualties were less than 5,000 men.
The defeat of Mingguo lies in not taking into account the decisive role of the difference in weapons and equipment in the war, and only wants to divide and eliminate the stone country on the battlefield according to the large number of people, but he does not think that he will divide his troops everywhere, and the result is broken one by one.
The explosions on the hillside had stopped, but in the ears of the soldiers of Mingguo, the fire burned in the grassland with the heart-rending wails of the wounded soldiers. Human life is as fragile as dead grass in a storm in the face of this killing weapon.
The cottage on the top of the slope was also engulfed in fire at this time, and all the soldiers of Shiguo, including Yang Zaiqian, had been martyred, except for Yang Zaiqian, the other soldiers knew at the last moment that they had died at the hands of their own people.
When later generations mention the battle of Yinmapo today, the first thing that comes to mind will be "cloth clothes are impermanent", and a few people will know about them.
In the twilight, the King of Ruyi turned back to look at the burning land, and his eyes lit up with a battle intent that was stronger than the fire.
A few days later, a song was sung in Mingguo, "If you want to ask the country to take the border pass, the battlefield will ride to the north mountain." The sound of iron armor at dusk is still vibrating, and the smoke of gunpowder is cold and the moonlight is cold. The grass and trees buried the bow saddle without a word, the layers of corpses and bones and blood were not dry, the wind blew through the banner and fell, and Lin Lin Jiaoer and a few people returned. ”
