Chapter 407 Battle of Ningjin (18)

In the early morning of the 28th, that is, before and after Azig was artillery, Wu Xiang led his army to finally rush to the outside of Jinzhou.

A rapid march of four hours is a great test for any army.

All the soldiers of the Yongjian battalion who arrived at the city of Jinzhou were a little tired and out of breath.

The same is true for Wu Xiang.

While resting and recuperating to recover their strength, they sent sentry agents to close to monitor the Houjin army.

In the city, Zhao Shujiao held the handle of the knife tightly.

As a battlefield veteran, it stands to reason that he should be as calm as water, and the moment he received the secret letter shot in from outside the city, he still couldn't believe it.

An army can march thirty kilometers in one night, reach the city, and then attack.

According to the pace of the march, a 20-kilometer march in a day is not bad.

But it was Jinzhou Jun who shot the letter, and Ji Yong recognized it as Geng Zhongming's handwriting.

Because Ji Yong is in Port Arthur for a long time, he is more familiar with Geng Zhongming, and knows how ugly his words are.

But Geng Zhongming was still not convinced, and often practiced calligraphy secretly.

A little grassy, but not so grassy words, yes, it is Geng Zhongming's.

Zhao Shujiao believed this, and selected thousands of elite soldiers from the city, and he personally took them.

Wait for the signal outside the city, and then kill together to exterminate the Houjin army outside the city.

Call...... Zhao Shujiao took a deep breath and waited quietly.

Outside the city, the soldiers who had arrived to reconnoiter returned and whispered: "Most of the enemy are sleeping, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling are also playing horses and hanging, or gambling, and are defenseless." ”

"They are used to fighting with the wind, and they are completely unaware of the dangers of war."

A grim smile appeared on Wu Xiang's face, "Today, we will let them know what 'elite' is." ”

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and ordered Xiang Zuolin and Fan Hualong behind him: "Our troops are divided into three routes and attack from three directions at the same time, and we must kill the Houjin army before the reinforcements of the Houjin army arrive." ”

"Understood!" Xiang Zuolin and Fan Hualong nodded.

The three of them divided their troops, and each took a part of the Yongjian Battalion to sneak to the attack position in three directions on the periphery of the Houjin Army camp.

Seeing that the timing was about the same, Wu Xiang raised his hand, and the arrow was released.

"Brothers, it's time for us to make a difference, and I will kill the enemy!"

Wu Xiang held a knife in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, shouted loudly, and personally led the army directly to the camp of the Houjin army.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Yongjian battalion shouted, waved their swords and shields, and followed Wu Xiang to the camp of the Houjin army.

"Kill!" Shouts of killing also sounded from two other directions.

The soldiers of the Yongjian Battalion, who were holding back their strength, broke through the defense of the Houjin army and entered the camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Yes......! ”

The cold wind blew the banner of the Houjin army, making a rattling sound, watching everything that happened in the camp.

Hou Jin Jun would have thought that his back would be attacked in a sneak attack, and they all panicked.

The shouts of killing came into the city, and the Ming soldiers in charge of the lookout immediately reported quickly:

"Master Zhao, there is a shout of killing outside!"

"What!" Zhao Shujiao got up suddenly, "Let's go, the army will go with me." ”

Ji Yong, who was full of nervousness on the side, stood up and congratulated himself that his life was finally saved.

Never felt like this, the Golden State Army is so reliable and reassuring.

The gate of Jinzhou was opened, and Zhao led thousands of elite soldiers to kill.

They spread the wooden planks prepared in advance on the top of the trenches, stepped on the planks, crossed the three trenches, and slaughtered the chaotic Houjin army's big tent.

"What's going on?"

The left-behind Jue Luo Sele was disheveled, and when he came out of the tent, the whole person was stunned.

The camp was in chaos at the moment, and people could be seen scurrying everywhere.

What kind of enemy is it? How many centaurs are there in the enemy army? How did they raid their camp? One question after another flashed through Sere's mind.

Unfortunately, no one would answer him, and he himself did not have time to find the answer to his question.

Because the enemy has already slain them.

Xiang Zuolin led a group of elite soldiers to go straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, saw the figure of Sele, and immediately rushed towards him.

Biyu Bashi shouted, "My lord, go and hide somewhere else, and I'll stop the enemy." He hurriedly swung his sword to meet him, buying time for Sele to escape.

"Little minion, get out of here!" Xiang Zuolin raised his knife to fight against him, forcing Bashi to retreat again and again.

At this time, the surrounding Houjin soldiers had already been killed.

The Yongjian battalion immediately surrounded him, attacked Bashi from behind, and slashed it with a knife.

After Bashi was hit by a knife in his back, his body suddenly lost its strength, and he was surged up by the soldiers of the Yongjian Battalion and cut into a pulp.

Sele's legs weakened from the horror of this terrible situation, but he was a veteran of the battlefield, so he slapped himself in the face and forced himself to turn around and flee.

However, when he escaped, he ran into Fan Hualong head-on.

Fan Hualong was killing up, and when he heard his old friend shouting "Don't go the big fish", he turned his head and saw Sele.

That's the big fish!

Fan Hualong shouted excitedly and led his men to surround and kill Sele.

No matter how strong the martial arts are, they can't withstand the overwhelming number of people.

Sele swung his knife to block, but after a few strokes, he was slashed to death by the knife, and died under the knife.

The midwinter has not really ended, which has caused many Houjin soldiers to have their hands frozen so that they can't hold their weapons when they hold them.

On the contrary, after the rapid march, the Yongjian battalion, the body was already hot, and brandished weapons.

The Yongjian battalion formed a small military formation, advancing and retreating together, attacking and defending together, like a fierce wolf pack constantly encroaching on the enemy.

In the face of ordinary soldiers, the Houjin soldiers may still have the power to fight back, but in the face of such troops, it is very difficult.

Finally, with the deaths of Sele and Bashi, the Houjin army was completely dispersed.

In the process of escaping, he bumped into the Ming army who stepped on the plank, and was killed and fled in all directions.

The two Ming armies successfully met outside the tent of the Houjin army.

"Master Zhao, on the orders of Yang Shuai, Wu led 2,100 soldiers from the Yongjian Battalion to help and defend Jinzhou."

Wu Xiang propped up his tired body and talked to Zhao Shujiao.

Zhao Shujiao also saw his tiredness, and hurriedly said: "These words, let's talk about them tomorrow, I see that you are also tired, follow me into the city to rest." ”

"Then ......" Wu Xiang wanted to ask who would clean up the battlefield.

"Don't worry, we won't want any of your military exploits." Zhao led the church to the wrong mind.

Wu Xiang hurriedly said: "Master Zhao, you misunderstood. Yang Shuai has already said that all the gains belong to you. Originally, I wanted to ask who would clean up the battlefield, but since you have already arranged it, then I don't have to worry about it. ”

"Oh, I'll send someone to show you the way."

"I'm tired."

When the two of them walked out of the tent, they saw the soldiers of the Yongjian Battalion who had already finished lining up.

Seeing Wu Xiang come out, Xiang Zuolin stepped forward to report: "Report to General Wu, there are 2,100 soldiers in the Yongjian Battalion, 30 killed in battle, 80 lightly wounded, and 1,990 people." After the debriefing, please instruct. ”

"Gather the bodies of the brothers who died unfortunately, and go into the city to rest." Wu Xiang ordered.

"Yes." Xiang Zuolin returned to the queue.

"Dear brothers." Xiang Zuolin shouted loudly: "Enter the city!" ”

Under the gaze of the whole army, the fallen soldiers, covered with white cloths, were carried on stretchers and entered the city first.

This was followed by the wounded soldiers of the Brave Battalion.

Finally, the whole army marched into the city in order.

Zhao Shujiao was shocked on the side.
