There was no fighting that night. The soldiers on both sides were separated by the river bank and jingled for a night......

Early the next morning, the Tusi leaders couldn't wait to drive their soldiers, got on the rafts they had made overnight, and crossed the river from both sides of the big board bridge.

The soldiers of the Ming army continued to shoot condescendingly on the arrow tower, and the barbarians who were hit by the arrows fell into the water like dumplings. But there were so many rafts that there were still countless brutes who crossed the river and rushed to the other side. Prepare to seize the bridgehead and meet the large army across the bridge......

But the excitement didn't last long before they realized they were rejoicing too soon.

Because the soldiers of the Ming army dug a deep trench around the bridgehead and built fortifications. If they wanted to seize the bridgehead, they had to cross the trench and break through the fortifications of the Ming army......

The Tusi soldiers had no choice but to start filling the trenches, and naturally they were violently attacked by the Ming army.

This time, Yu Min finally had a place to use, and he was assigned as a firecracker. In this era, the Ming army's firearms have made great progress, and they are no longer just a rough copper pipe as before.

Boss Zhu continued to take various effective measures to standardize and unify the primary firearms created in the Yuan Dynasty and continuously improve them. Now the Ming army's handcuffs, with a slender body, are composed of a breech, a medicine chamber and a tail hammer.

The breech is cylindrical in shape, and a projectile is placed inside. The medicine room is spherical and bulging, and there is a fire door on the wall of the chamber for placing the lead for ignition. The tail chisel is hollow and can be equipped with a wooden handle, which is easy for the launcher to handle.

Moreover, the lead bullet of the Ming army was embedded in the wooden horse, which could be stuffed into the breech with a strip to compact the gunpowder in the chamber, which greatly increased the range and power of the projectile.

But Yu Min still doesn't like the handcuff, because it shoots too crookedly, and the bullet doesn't know where to fly when it hits, and it is far less accurate than the bow and arrow. It's just that the archers of the Ming army are all veterans of more than three years, and he has to stay up for more than a year before he is qualified to touch the bow and arrow.

Fortunately, the enemy is too dense, and the river bank is full of people, and when the bullets go out, there is a high probability that they will always hit one, but I don't know which one.

Yu Min didn't bother to check the results of the battle, and after firing a shot, he hurriedly wrapped the cloth with a strip, emptied the residue in the chamber, and then reloaded the shot.

In this way, he put his gun again and again, and together with his comrades, he resisted the onslaught of wave after wave of brute soldiers.

Soon the front of the battle was littered with corpses, and the trenches were densely packed with dead bodies.

The barbarians were also completely red-eyed, they didn't expect that a mere 3,000 Ming troops could cause so much damage to themselves. Under the instigation and insults of the leaders, the barbarians who lost their minds carried sandbags and stones for their lives, and finally filled in the trenches, moved the deer firewood, and fought with the Ming army.

The soldiers of the Ming army were brave and fearless, and in the face of the overwhelming barbarians, they still formed a formation, fighting to the death and not retreating, just like the reef on the seaside, let the reef waves destroy, but also immovable.

Yu Min didn't care about firing the gun, and under the order of the officer, he grabbed the spear and rushed to the front line to fill the position left by the dead robe.

The cruelty of the war is vividly displayed at this moment, Yu Min is full of hideous-looking brute soldiers in front of him, he must fight with all his spirit, every time he shoots, he must use all his strength, and treat the barbarian soldiers he does not know on the other side as an enemy who kills his father.

Just want to be able to kill the other person before they kill themselves. Otherwise, not only will he die, but the entire formation will collapse.

The mental and physical exertion was terrifying, and after winning several life-and-death competitions in succession, he was already sweating profusely, and the whole person was in a trance.

The screams of killing seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and he could only hear his own heavy gasps, and even see the movement of his spear. Seeing the blood splatter, a brute was stabbed through the abdomen by him......

In the end, I saw that I was also stabbed in the shoulder by the brute's trident boring, but I didn't feel the pain, I only felt that all my strength was gone, and my body fell to the ground like a fallen leaf, and then I lost consciousness.

~~

When Yu Min woke up, he found that it was dark, but the battlefield was still shouting and killing.

He turned his head with difficulty and found that he was lying with wounded people, and the military doctors and paramedics were busy treating their wounds, stitching and bandaging.

Yu Min struggled to get up, but there was a huge pain in his left shoulder, which made him completely unable to exert his strength. When I looked down, I saw that I had a thick layer of gauze wrapped around my shoulders.

"Don't move, beware of cracking the mouth again!" An injury number next to him reminded him.

Yu Min turned his head to see that the person seemed to be from the same Qianhu as him, but now his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't tell who was who.

"Still fighting?" Yu Min remembers that when she was injured and unconscious, it was not yet noon.

"yes, I fought all day." The wounded man sighed and said, "In the afternoon, those chieftains personally crossed the river to supervise the battle, and the attack of the barbarians was fiercer than in the morning, and our casualties were very heavy. ”

said and spat fiercely: "Grandma, Lao Tzu has never been hit by an arrow in the southern and northern battles, and he actually capsized in this small ditch!" ”

Only then did Yu Min see that the other party had been hit by an arrow in the knee, and he hadn't pulled it out yet.

I really didn't know how to comfort the other party, so after thinking about it, he took out the half-eaten sauce duck leg from his arms and handed it over.

The wounded man's eyes lit up, he tore off a piece of meat from above, handed him back the duck leg, and said with a smile: "Of course, we didn't let the thieves have a good time, and we didn't kill them 10,000 or 8,000." It's worth it! ”

"Then they still have 50,000 people...... Yu Min whispered.

The wounded horn lost his luster at the moment, silently bowed his head and chewed the duck meat, and never said a word again.

~~

At this time, it was completely dark, and the sound of gold sounded on the battlefield, and the brute soldiers finally retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Ming army brushed together, and they all sat on the ground in prostration. What the brutes didn't know was that they really couldn't stand it. Perhaps as long as there is another storm, the Ming army's defense line will completely collapse......

But there was no if on the battlefield, and in the battle of the second day, the Ming army still held it!

Qi Xiang, accompanied by Lu Qianhu, inspected the position for a circle, and everywhere he went, he saw the soldiers hanging colors and exhausted. Looking at the dense corpses of the fallen soldiers, and the seriously injured people crowded in the first aid station, the two of them were extremely heavy.

"There are more than 1,000 casualties in one day, and there is another day tomorrow, how can we survive?" Lu Qianhu sighed in a low voice.

"yes, it's hard." Qi Xiang nodded, generally speaking, if a unit suffers more than two percent of casualties, it will lose its combat effectiveness. Now that his subordinates have suffered more than thirty percent casualties, they can still have the strength to fight, and they can only be said to be truly invincible.

However, there are times when the invincible division cannot hold on, and the remaining 2,000 officers and soldiers will not be able to withstand such a day again.

"It's going to have to be done." Qi Xiang sighed and said in a deep voice: "I decided to steal the camp tonight!" ”
