Chapter 197: The Death of the Flying Dragon

The Ming army evacuated in an orderly and rapid manner, but the captives were outflanked faster, and it was woodland here, which was not suitable for fast running, and before they ran far, the Ming army was caught up by a large number of captives and forced to start a white-knuckle battle.

More captives marched rapidly on the left and right sides, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they overtook all the Ming troops, closed on both sides, and successfully surrounded the three thousand troops around Xiong Wei.

"Master Hou, we are surrounded!"

"Lao Tzu can see it, use you to shout?" Xiong Wei was in a hurry, he really didn't expect this to be the case.

"Shrink the defense!" Xiong Wei shouted.

The Ming army came lightly, without big shields and spears, and even if they formed a circle, it was still difficult to resist the impact of Jianyu.

The advantage is that Jianyu cannot shoot arrows and can only fight hand-to-hand with the Ming army.

In the past few months, Jianlu's food has been very poor, and many people have night blindness, although they can see some light and shadow clearly, and they can also march, but they are far worse than the well-fed Ming army.

Jianyu himself didn't know that his vision was weaker than that of the Ming army, and he thought that the sky was so dark.

This gave the Ming army a great advantage. This is one of the reasons why Li Shutai used the numerical advantage to take a long time to annihilate the previous two thousand troops.

In the eyes of the Ming army, although these captives were outflanked quickly and there were many people, their skills were not good, and they must be miscellaneous troops.

Seeing that there were more than 10,000 enemies, four times as many as himself, Xiong Wei calmed down surprisingly, "Bring the Tartars closer to within 30 steps, and we will use five-arrow crossbows and grenades against them!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, if you are left alone or surrounded, as long as you still have a breath, you must pull the grenade and blow up the flintlock pistol while dying with the Tartar!"

"Yes!" When the soldiers heard Xiong Wei's military order, they understood that the most dangerous moment had come, and if Jianyu attacked desperately, his own men and horses would definitely be wiped out!

"Brothers!" There are thousands of people in the Ming army who shouted, "Kill one without losing money, kill two to earn one, at this juncture, it depends on who is more ruthless!" ”

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

The Ming army erupted into a shocking cry and began to shoot frantically with five-arrow crossbows.

Each person was equipped with 5 to 10 arrow clips, 3,000 people were fired, and in just one stick of incense, a large number of captives fell around the Ming army's circle array.

Li Shutai and Luo Luohun really didn't expect this mere 3,000 Ming army to be so difficult, but now, they must encircle and annihilate these Ming troops at any cost.

Otherwise, the morale of his own team will be lost, and it will be impossible to have the courage to attack Shengjing.

"Get the convoy up!" Luo Luo said viciously.

Urokan understood and hurriedly went to organize.

A quarter of an hour later, more than 7,000 elderly and weak women and children of the transport team were pushed and shoved to the front line by the captives.

The Ming army couldn't tell who the enemy was, and as long as they saw someone approaching, they would shoot them deadly.

"If it continues to be consumed like this, there will definitely be very little firearms and arrows left in the Ming army." Luo Luo said in a deep voice, his face cold.

"Master!" Wu Luokan hurriedly came, "Master, the granary in the camp is on fire!" ”

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier! Luo Luohun was shocked, it was the grain and grass that the three cities of northern Liaobei did their best to muster, once it was burned, a large number of people and animals would definitely starve to death this winter.

"Just now, everyone was resisting the Ming army's attack on the camp, no one paid attention to the fire over there, and the people of the convoy came out, and no one took care of the grain and grass......" Wu Luokan whispered.

"Quickly take 2,000 men and horses back to put out the fire!"

"Huh!"

On the other side, Bau was afraid of being pursued by Jianyu, so he made a circle before heading towards the area where Xiong Wei was, and when he heard the sound of fighting from a distance, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

After sending someone to investigate, Bau was sure that Xiong Wei's troops were surrounded.

"Mr. Qian, let's rush over to save Master Hou!"

"No, we only have a thousand people, and it won't help to rush in, follow me back to the camp!" Bau said calmly.

"What does Mr. Qian mean to encircle Wei to save Zhao?"

"Lao Tzu doesn't know what to encircle Wei to save Zhao, Lao Tzu knows that if I burn his camp, these Jurchens will definitely go back to fight the fire."

After the words fell, Bau led the people back to the camp of Jianjiao, and saw from a distance that there was a fire that was very strong, and a large number of captives had been gathered to fight the fire, he thought for a while, and said:

"Go to the blackest camp in the captive camp and set it on fire quickly! The brothers act according to the small flag and act separately! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, more than 90 squads, from multiple directions, rushed into the camp of the captives, which had not yet been surrounded by wooden walls, and set fire to a place where no one was around.

Not long after, the camp was once again on fire.

Luo Luo, who learned the news, was in a hurry and almost fainted, because he didn't know how many people the Ming army came this time, so for the sake of safety, he had to allocate 3,000 people to help.

This greatly reduced the pressure on Xiong Wei.

"The Tartars have no stamina, let's retreat south while fighting!" Xiong Wei shouted.

The Ming soldiers poured most of their crossbow arrows and grenades into the captive positions on the south side and slowly moved south.

"Not good!" Li Shutai was shocked, "The Ming army wants to break through!" The cavalry obeyed the order, regardless of the cost, and rushed into the circle formation of the Ming army! ”

After Li led the Tai Department to get the order, he followed the master to urge the horses to go, and the soldiers with red flags gave way one after another, and the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry shouted and killed the Ming army.

The noisy sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the Ming army had no choice but to stop and greet grenades in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Hundreds of grenades exploded almost simultaneously, and the sound of countless crossbow arrows breaking through the air was heard throughout the battlefield.

The Jianyu cavalry fell to the ground in large numbers, but the Ming army was limited in number and was eventually routed.

Countless horses' hooves burst into the formation, and sabers slashed wantonly.

Seeing that the cavalry broke the circle formation of the Ming army, Luo Luohun was overjoyed and loudly ordered the whole army to charge.

Boom...... Boom......

Bau's thousand-man squad wreaked havoc in the camp, occasionally throwing grenades and exploding at the gathering place of the captives.

The camp was in chaos.

"The reinforcements of the Jurchens are back, we withdraw! Fast! ”

Bawu heard the footsteps of thousands of people from afar, and he was well versed in the Mongolian concept of saving life, so he would not fight hard with them and loudly ordered to retreat.

When the 3,000 captives rushed to the camp, only some of the Ming troops who could not escape, and after a period of slashing, they looked at the raging fire and chased out in a hurry.

On the south side of the camp, Xiong Wei's circle formation was scattered by the captives, and the two sides fell into a melee, at this time, the Ming army's line of sight advantage was more prominent, and the armor on his body began to show strong defensive capabilities.

The grenades also showed their might again, and most of the Ming troops who were forced to a dead end were able to pull a few cushions.

……

In the second half of the night, the fire in the camp was gradually extinguished, and the sound of fighting outside the camp gradually subsided.

In the camp, countless wounded captives lay in the snow and wailed, blood continued to flow out, staining the snow red.

There were thousands of captives outside the camp cleaning the battlefield, and from time to time there were screams of the Ming soldiers, who were unable to escape because of their injuries.

The wailing and screaming continued until dawn, and Luo Luohun and Li Shutai inspected the battlefield by the morning light, and when they saw the few military tents and grain and grass left, when they saw the wounded soldiers who froze to death in the camp, when they saw more than 10,000 dead bodies inside and outside the camp.

Both of them were pale.

On the other side, Bau went around several hills, and finally returned to the Shengjing camp with 600 remnants at the end of the hour.

When Chongzhen learned about it, he personally went out of the camp, and when he learned that Xiong Wei was fierce and auspicious, his face was extremely gloomy, and he ordered Wu Sangui to immediately lead troops to the rescue.
