Chapter 972: Fierce Battle on the White Stone River
On the bank of the river, which Yu Min could not see, Mu Ying led 4,000 cavalry to rush left and right in the Yuan army's array, and scattered the various units of the Yuan army, which was already weakly organized, into a mess, which greatly reduced the pressure on the troops crossing the river.
But the number of the Yuan army was too much, Mu Ying and his subordinates kept killing for a moment, and they couldn't completely tear apart the defense line of the Yuan army for a while.
At least the Yuan army on the arrow tower, they can't help it at all.
Therefore, the vanguard still had to brave the rain of arrows and forcibly cross the Baishi River, and the casualties were really not small.
But the soldiers of the Ming army hit the water with oars, beat drums and shouted, their morale was high, and they were not afraid of death!
They desperately rowed the bamboo raft, close to the shore, while using bows and crossbows to fight back, suppressing the archers of the Yuan army, and jumping into waist-deep water, and working together to move away from the Yuan army's horses.
At the critical moment, the soldiers of the Ming army burst out with twelve points of combat effectiveness, and by the time Yu Min's raft arrived, the comrades in front had cleared a passage.
"Get into the water!" Wang Xiaoqi's order sounded again.
The soldiers jumped into the water without hesitation, and then together they lifted the raft, held it high above their heads, and rushed to the shore with shouts.
The bamboo raft can withstand the rain of arrows, but it has a more important role - the soldiers set up a bamboo raft on the trench and paved the way to the enemy position.
Then he screamed over the ditch and threw himself at the damned towers!
Yu Min also followed Wang Xiaoqi to an arrow tower, and the Yuan army naturally had soldiers guarding the downstairs, and the two sides immediately fought together.
By this time, Yu Min had completely lost his fear. Qi Qianhu told him that if he wants to survive on the battlefield, he must not be cowardly, let alone retreat! If you want to survive, you have to be more fierce and ruthless than others, and kill all the people who want to kill you!
He survived the previous two battles by this, so at this time he became more and more fierce and resolute, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, rushing left and right to kill with agility, and slashed several Yuan troops one after another!
Just as he was about to kill, an enemy soldier who had been cut down by him suddenly grabbed his leg. Yu Min was shocked, hurriedly struggled to break free, lowered his head and slashed at the shoulder of the Yuan soldier.
Yuan Bing screamed and let go of his hand, but when Yu Min put away the knife, he found that the knife was stuck in the bone seam and couldn't pull it out.
Seeing this, the other Yuan army raised his spear and stabbed, Yu Min didn't have time to dodge, he didn't have time to block, he was stunned on the spot.
At the last moment, another shot came from the oblique stab, and the last shot came first, picking off the shot of the Yuan army. Immediately after that, he stabbed the Yuan army in the chest.
"Han Criticism, how to teach you!" The person who rescued him was Wang Xiaoqi, dancing with a big gun and scolding: "You won't lose your knife and roll on a lazy donkey?!" ”
"Oh." Yu Min's old face turned red, and he finally pulled out his knife with all his might, and rushed forward to kill the enemy side by side with Wang Xiaoqi.
"Don't patronize the rush and hit, be smart, or the ball will die sooner or later!" Wang Xiaoqi scolded, cleared the last enemy in front of him, then threw away the spear, pulled out his waist knife and thrust it into his back, and said in a deep voice: "Rush up with Lao Tzu!" ”
Before the words fell, he used his hands and feet together, and climbed the stairs to the arrow tower quickly. Yu Min hurriedly threw away his shield, followed his example, stuck the knife behind his back, and climbed up as well.
As soon as I went up, I saw Wang Xiaoqi being surrounded by several Yuan army archers......
The archers are elite infantry with large shoulders and round waists, and they are also very capable of melee combat.
Wang Xiaoqi rushed up, took advantage of his unpreparedness to cut down one, and when he wanted to cut the second one, he was beaten by them.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have time to hold a knife for a while, he could only use the hard bow in his hand to whip him, Wang Xiaoqi would have been cut down to the ground and chopped into meat sauce.
Yu Min hurriedly pounced on a hungry tiger and stabbed an archer in the back of the heart. This time he learned to be obedient, and instead of drawing his sword, he directly pressed against the archer's back, and continued to rush forward, slamming into the other archer on the opposite side.
The man hurriedly took a horse step and sank his shoulders, trying to stabilize his body, but he couldn't withstand the momentum of the two people at all, and he was hit backwards, and his back hit the railing behind him.
The arrow tower hastily erected by the Yuan army could have any quality at all, and the pole broke as soon as it hit, and the archer screamed and fell on his back.
Yu Min held the dead body and slapped it on the ground......
Later, the Ming army continued to pour in, killing all the remaining archers.
Yu Min had the opportunity to pull up Wang Xiaoqi, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and Wang Xiaoqi gave him a thumbs up.
~~
With the capture of the arrow towers, the pressure on the troops crossing the river dropped sharply, and the soldiers rushed up the river bank one after another with bamboo rafts, and rushed into the enemy position along the road opened by the vanguard troops.
After gaining a firm foothold, the Ming army's offensive became more and more ferocious, and soon captured all the arrow towers. Then the Ming archers climbed the arrow tower and began to shoot at the Yuan army.
The fierce attack from top to bottom, how could the Yuan army withstand it, and could only retreat with defeat on the one hand, and ask for reinforcements on the other.
However, the rear has been disturbed by Mu Ying's 4,000 cavalry, the soldiers can't find the generals, the generals can't find the soldiers, the orders can't be conveyed at all, and no one will carry them out.
On the one hand, the Ming army continued to pour ashore like a tide, and on the other hand, the front-line Yuan army was slow to see reinforcements.
Past experience has repeatedly proved that the more unfavorable the battle situation, the more the Yuan army will pull its hips.
Mu Ying keenly caught the changes in Yuan Jun's mood, and immediately asked his subordinates to shout in Mongolian: "Darima has run, Darima has run!" ”
Darima was in the Chinese army at this time, roaring and angrily reprimanding his generals: "No matter what method you use, send me reinforcements quickly!" ”
Then I heard someone shouting that I had run away......
"Nonsense, I didn't run." He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly said: "The Ming army wants to shake my military heart, hurry up and tell the soldiers that I am with them!" ”
The generals hurried out to quell the rumors, but saw that soldiers had already begun to flee......
Deserters are like cockroaches, if there is the first one, there will be a second, and if there is a second, there will be a nest. Under the powerful offensive of the Ming army, more and more Yuan troops soon abandoned their weapons and fled.
"Come back, don't believe them, Pingzhang is still there!"
"Pingzhang said, with you!" The generals of the Yuan army hurriedly shouted loudly.
But no one paid any attention to it, and more and more deserters fled in all directions, and even the Overseers began to flee.
The rumors of Darima's escape were nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back.
And how could it be just a straw that broke the camel's back?
It was the Ming army that completely broke through the defense line on the river bank and came overwhelmingly, the thousands of cavalry who were covered in blood and repeatedly rushed to kill, and it was the defeat that the blind could see was decided, so that the Yuan army completely collapsed......
