Chapter 244: Useless Move
The night was dark, and Gu Renyuan quietly walked out of the north gate of the mountain city with 3,000 elite soldiers, and ran quickly towards the loose barracks with Sen Han's spear.
At this time, the captives relaxed their vigilance because of the soaring advance along the way, and at the same time, because of more than ten days of rapid marching and high-intensity combat, the Jianjiao people were sleepy and lacking.
Except for the hundred and ten soldiers who were lazy outside the camp, everyone else fell asleep.
Even Hauge didn't expect the North Koreans to dare to sneak out of the city. So he went to bed early to rest, recuperate, and recuperate for tomorrow's big war.
Gu Renyuan led the elite soldiers, and quickly rushed forward, all of them were dressed in black, and the outside of their shoes were wrapped in thick cloths, and they ran silently on the hillside outside the city, hoping to catch Jianyu by surprise.
The 3,000 people ran silently, and when they arrived at the camp, they were not found.
It wasn't until they killed the garrison in the direction they were charging and began to set fire to the nearby tents that they caught the attention of the captives.
The sound of gongs resounded throughout the barracks.
At the head of the city, Jin Liu and Li Shibai looked at the city nervously, and laughed happily when they saw the fire in the Jianyu military camp and the fire gradually increased.
"It's done! It's done! ”
The captives were all asleep, and suddenly they were awakened by the warning gong, and they rushed out of the tent to check.
Seeing hundreds of fires and killing sounds, they were all startled, and they didn't have time to pierce the armor, so they picked up their weapons and rushed over to kill the enemy.
Hauge was also awakened, although he couldn't see how many people came in the camp, but when he heard the sound of fighting, he knew that it was an infantry sneak attack, and the enemy would not exceed 5,000.
"Order the crossbowmen to assemble and outflank the firelight, and the others will form a formation on the spot to protect themselves!"
The military order was handed down, and the riots everywhere immediately stopped.
Three thousand Korean soldiers took advantage of the surprise attack and killed forty or fifty enemies, and were about to continue the attack, but found that the captives in front of them had already formed a formation.
Some people tried to rush, but they were all shot to death.
Seeing that the captives formed a rapid formation and were well defended, Gu Renyuan hurriedly ordered the team to concentrate on him, preparing to break through to one point.
This Korean soldier was also considered the strongest soldier on the peninsula, and after receiving the order, he quickly moved closer to the main general, and the longbowmen were in front, firing at the enemy in a burst, hoping to find the weak point of the enemy position.
It's a pity that they were disappointed, the Jianyu infantry was protected by Mu Dun, and the opportunity did not worry about bows and arrows, although the sound of tinkling and ping-pong was constantly heard, but the enemy formation did not move at all.
When the people in the city heard the sound of fighting, they were all excited, and they said in their hearts, as long as they gave the Jurchens a dismount tonight, they would definitely retreat thirty miles, and they would no longer dare to show off their might and set up tents under the city to humiliate the Koreans!
Gu Renyuan knew that he had few people, and he must not wait for the preparation of the captives, he believed that the escape wall in front of him was only a temporary composition of a small number of captives, as long as he quickly swooped over with the help of the mountain, he would definitely be able to kill them.
"The whole army charges, only advance and not retreat!" Gu Ren drank loudly.
"Kill!"
The North Korean soldiers rushed forward with shouts.
The sound of the killing reached the mountain fortress of Namhan, and the Korean soldiers were all excited when they heard it.
In the first two indiscriminate battles, their Korean soldiers were killed by the Jurchens and lost their armor, and the soldiers were lost, and tonight, they can finally let the Jurchens taste the taste of fear.
Li Shibai was very excited when he saw the excited expressions of the soldiers around him, "Lord Jin, our morale is high, we will definitely be able to defend the mountain city and wait for the Heavenly Master!" ”
Jin Liu nodded heavily.
The Korean soldiers who were shouting rushed more than ten meters when they heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from behind the wall of the Jianyu Formation.
Soon, the wooden retreat in front of the enemy formation staggered, and more than a thousand captives poured out of the gap, each holding a small weapon, aimed at them.
Gu Ren was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered, "The enemy army has a flaw, rush!" Charge the whole army! ”
The elite soldiers of the DPRK received the order and galloped forward with spears in hand.
When the captives saw the Korean soldiers rushing towards them, they did not panic and gave orders loudly.
"Put!"
500 captives armed with Chongzhen's five-arrow crossbows received the order and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh ......
More than 2,000 sharp arrows roared forward, and with a burst of wails and collisions, more than 30% of the North Korean soldiers fell.
Gu Renyuan, who followed the soldiers to charge, suddenly found that the soldiers in front of him were prostrate on the ground, motionless, and immediately became angry.
"Charge! Charge! Don't lie down! Don't lose momentum! ”
Gu Ren yelled.
"Put!" The captives will order again.
Whoosh ......
Another volley of more than two thousand crossbow arrows.
Gu Renyuan heard countless sounds of breaking the air, and immediately became alert, and then, there was a heart-piercing pain in his neck, he touched his neck, only to feel a piece of hot water rushing out, and gradually lost consciousness.
The same was true of the soldiers behind him, most of whom were armoured, but their limbs, necks, and faces were unprotected, and they fell to the ground under the fire of crossbow arrows.
The captives heard clearly, and after two volleys, most of the North Korean soldiers were put down, but there were still people running wildly.
It's not about running to fight, it's about running for your life!
The golden bell at the head of the city listened to the sound of fighting and the sound of breaking the air mixed together, and the screams and shouts were mixed, and shouted:
"The sergeants at the head of the city chanted together and cheered for their comrades in the city!"
When the North Korean soldiers heard this, they shouted together: "Kill ...... Kill...... Kill ......"
The sound of killing spread far away, and the North Korean soldiers who fled back heard it and ran faster. In this way, Jin Liu sent an assistance to his comrades who fled for their lives.
The captive did not want the enemy to run away, and again ordered:
"Put!"
Whoosh ......
A third round of crossbow arrows is fired.
The slow-running North Korean soldiers fell again.
Immediately afterwards, more than 200 cavalry who had already been ready quickly attacked and rushed towards Namhansan Mountain City.
In the darkness of the night, they could not see the enemy, but they knew that the Korean soldiers would flee back to their cities.
So they spotted the light of the fire on the walls of the mountain city, lined up in a line, and rode away.
The sound of clattering spread throughout the city, and it didn't take long for the sound of fighting to be heard.
Hearing this, Jin Liu, the head of the city, frowned, "How did I hear the sound of horses' hooves, could it be that the Jurchens sent out cavalry?"
The cavalry charged for a while, but could not find any more enemy troops, and returned to the formation.
Li Shibai listened quietly for a while, "The sound of horses' hooves has subsided again, it may be that the Jurchens have retreated!" ”
"It must have retreated!" Jin Liu's great joy: "North Korea will win!" ”
After a period of commotion, the camp returned to silence, and nothing changed except for the twofold number of garrison soldiers.
As Hauge said, "Don't pay too much attention to those North Koreans, they can't make any big waves, we focus on rest, and defense is supplementary!" ”
Hearing that there was silence outside the city, Jin Liu and the others were puzzled.
"If Jianyu retreats, it's time for Gu Renyuan to come back and report the victory! Why, it's been so long, and there is no movement. ”
When Li Shibai heard this, he thought silently for a while, and said, "Maybe the enemy has run away, and Master Gu is cleaning up the battlefield!" ”
After another half an hour, he still didn't see Gu Renyuan come back, and Jin Liu was worried again: "Does it take so long to clean up the battlefield?" ”
Li Shibai was also puzzled, "Could it be that Lord Gu led his troops to pursue while he was victorious?" ”
……
Just when a riot was set off in the mountain city of Nanhan, the Phoenix City of Liaodong ushered in the biggest snowstorm since the beginning of winter.
The tents in the camp were blown down, and truckloads of supplies were covered in heavy snow.
Listening to the whistling wind and looking at the thicker and thicker snow, Wu Sangui frowned, "It seems that it will be difficult to pull out the camp tomorrow." ”
Seeing the wind and snow like this, the Korean envoy also knew that the army would not be able to go out on schedule, and he was a little happy while worrying, "The snow is so heavy on the Liaodong side, and the Korean side will not be small, and it is impossible for the Jurchens to continue fighting!" ”
