Chapter 229 Waiting for work
As early as when the plan to lure the enemy was decided, Yang Chengying ordered his subordinates to dismantle all the artillery on the ship and build an artillery position.
As soon as Li Yongfang entered the ambush circle, the artillery immediately rang out.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
There was a loud bang, which shook the earth and neighed ten thousand horses.
Those who ate the cannon were blurred with flesh and blood. The mud or stones from the explosion injured the nearby Houjin soldiers.
Not to mention these Houjin soldiers who were hit by artillery, even the Chaoxian people hiding in the distant mountains were also terrified.
Discuss privately one by one, is this thunder!
"Don't mess up, don't mess around!"
Li Yongfang brandished the command knife and restrained his subordinates.
He followed the prestige to the artillery position and saw only artillery and Yang Chengying standing on the makeshift command platform.
"Goal! Artillery positions, rush over, and we win. ”
Li Yongfang ordered the flag bearer to issue the flag, and on the other hand, he personally led the guards to rush to the artillery position that seemed to be undefended.
Except for a part of the recruits, the rest of the well-trained soldiers immediately followed, like a flood rushing towards the artillery positions.
Yang Chengying saw it and sneered: "Sure enough, I won the plan!" Then he ordered: "Hit the army and prepare, and when the enemy is in the second trench, attack immediately." ”
"Yes." The flag bearer waving the flag in his hand.
The officers and men of the Chinese army who were hiding in the nearby woods saw this scene and hurriedly conveyed the order in a whisper.
Li Yongfang, who didn't know anything about this, also led the soldiers to charge.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the artillery position, Li Yongfang was ecstatic: "Rush me!" Kill Yang Chengying, and there will be a bounty. ”
"Oh roar!" The Houjin soldiers were excited.
However, just then, the unexpected happened.
The soldiers who rushed to the front row sank at their feet, and the whole person fell into the pit in an instant.
The people behind couldn't control their speed and fell with it.
Yes! Yes!
Screams followed.
Li Yongfang panicked, immediately reined in the war horse, and stopped one step closer to the deep pit.
He looked down and was horrified.
The deep pit was covered with sharp stakes, bamboo sticks and other items, and people were immediately pierced when they fell.
Some died on the spot, others wailed in pain.
With this pause, a new round of shelling began.
Rumble......!
Behind him, another soldier became a live target and was blown apart.
In fact, Yang Chengying's artillery operation is not skilled, and it is much worse than the artillery unit under Peng Haigu's command.
But they'll reload and fire.
And Li Yongfang and the soldiers under his command thought that the artillery position was undefended, so they willingly fell into the trap set by Yang Chengying in advance.
"Jump over!"
Li Yongfang thought that there was only one trench, so he immediately made a decision and led the soldiers to jump over.
This time, he kept an eye on it, and he was not the first to rush forward. Instead, he waited for the soldier to rush forward and take the mine for him.
Sure enough, there was thunder!
A second trench appeared, and a soldier fell.
It's just that compared to the first defenseless, this time there were very few people who fell in.
"Haha...... Yang Chengying is really poor in donkey skills, and he only has this small means. ”
Li Yongfang was overjoyed: "Order, quickly the second trench, maybe there is a third trench." We're safe when we cross it. ”
Before the words fell, the shouts of killing sounded.
From both sides, the Ming soldiers suddenly appeared, they were well-trained, with shields as the front formation, followed by pikemen, and the Jin soldiers were killed in a uniform manner.
"Ignore them and go straight over the third trench."
Li Yongfang saw that Yang Chengying was in front of him, and he was determined to kill this kid.
The Houjin soldiers obeyed the order and crossed the second trench, then poked forward with their weapons and poked the third trench out.
Soon, a third trench appeared.
The Houjin soldiers were dumbfounded before they were happy.
This is a trench, a large pit the size of a playground.
Numerous torches were thrown from the artillery positions, igniting the weeds and firewood that had been buried in the pit.
When he landed, the fire was in the sky.
There is a wall of fire in front of it, and artillery continues to be fired. The soldiers of the Ming army were killed on both sides, and the only way to retreat was behind them.
Seeing this, Li Yongfang had no choice but to order: "The whole army retreats!" ”
The horn of retreat sounded, and the Houjin soldiers retreated one after another.
The Ming army arrived and stabbed to death the soldiers who did not have time to retreat from both sides.
Li Yongfang left the battlefield with his soldiers in a hurry and fled all the way north.
"Give the order, kill the Jian who is not dead, and quickly clean up the battlefield."
Yang Chengying climbed high and looked: "As for the remnants of the enemy, someone will clean it up for us." ”
In this battle, Li Yongfang suffered little loss.
Because it was an open area charge, the people were scattered, and the artillery technology was so bad, only getting the head of more than 200 Houjin soldiers.
Yang Cheng should have had time to calculate, but Li Yongfang did not.
He fled north with his subordinates, hoping to leave the territory of Chaoxian as soon as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome for Yang Chengying to catch up.
"Forehead, if you keep running like this, the soldier can't stand it."
Someone reminded him from behind.
Li Yongfang looked back and saw that most of the soldiers were running out of breath, and some soldiers had already left the team.
"Rest, rest for a while."
Li Yongfang said breathlessly, "Maybe Yang Chengying didn't chase after him." ”
Stopping his mount, Li Yongfang turned over and dismounted, and fell to the ground.
The other soldiers sat on the ground and gasped for air.
"It's still careless." Li Yongfang blamed himself, "I underestimated Yang Chengying, and now I suffered a big loss." ”
The deputy beside him comforted: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as we rest well, we can fight again." ”
"Hmm. It is said that Yang Chengying will also move the people, and he will not leave for a while. ”
Li Yongfang laughed: "When we are ready, we will fight him to the death." ”
The people around him nodded their heads.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded nearby.
The sound of horses' hooves shattered Li Yongfang's dream.
Because he knew that his cavalry was all here, and there was only one explanation for the sound of horses' hooves to appear, the cavalry of the Ming army.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The soldier in charge of the guard shouted loudly while waving the flag of the guard.
However, before he could finish his banner, a wolf's tooth arrow shot directly at his head from the front.
After shooting the Houjin soldiers, Su Xiaojing drew his knife in his hand: "Brothers, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, just now, charge with me!" ”
"Kill!"
The cavalry shouted in unison, like thunder on the ground.
This cavalry, which started from the Tiger Brigade Army and absorbed a large number of Mongol Yiding, is excellent in both riding and archery.
Before anyone arrives, the bow and arrow arrive first.
In terms of momentum, the Hongyi cannon is undoubtedly the first, but in terms of lethality, it has to be a traditional bow and arrow.
Rows and rows of gold soldiers were knocked to the ground by arrows from the wolf's fangs.
Li Yongfang hurriedly got on his horse and shouted at the soldiers under his hand to retreat.
But as we all know, when people sit down after running wildly, their legs will be sore and weak, and it will be difficult to stand up and run wildly.
Therefore, after Li Yongfang's order was issued, the Houjin soldiers who wanted to carry it out but were unable to do so died under the bows and arrows of the cavalry, swords, and even horses' hooves.
Li Yongfang fled north in a hurry under the escort of his own soldiers.
