0649 [Yaksha's True Name]

Seeing that the Jin soldiers no longer retreated alternately, but rushed to the northeast at full speed, Zhang Guangdao said: "Light three wolf smoke!" ”

There are two or three hundred Ming light horsemen left here for short-distance orders and reconnaissance.

A light horse galloped back to the previous battlefield, took out the command flag and began waving.

Soon, three puffs of wolf smoke rose from the top of Fang Mountain. From north to south, from west to east, beacon fires are lit everywhere, and three puffs of wolf smoke rise.

Twenty or thirty miles away from the battlefield, the city received the news about half an hour later.

"Straight lady thief, Jin Bing didn't run to me here!"

Yao Pingzhong saw the three clusters of wolf smoke in the distance, and was so angry that he kicked a small pebble away: "The whole army is open, leaving only five hundred soldiers and people to guard the camp!" ”

Unlike those Northern Song Dynasty border generals who like to preserve their strength, Yao Pingzhong has always fought bravely, and has always dared to fight and rush when encountering enemies.

In such a big battle, Jin Bing did not break through in the direction he guarded, which means that Yao Pingzhong will not be able to make any achievements this time.

He couldn't complain about anything, because the task given to him by Zhang Guangdao was extremely heavy, and he would have to fight bloodily if the Jin soldiers killed the city.

Now that he can't fight bloodily, Yao Pingzhong has to lead the army to attack. From the periphery of the figure-eight mountain range, directly to the rear of the Jin barracks, even if you use mules and horses to transport armor and fast march, you have to walk a whole day.

If the bloody battle of the "eight" Gukou can be fought until midnight tonight, Yao Pingzhong can still join the battle.

If the fighting there ended early, Yao Pingzhong would have to be sent to attack Yuxian.

Yuxian County is almost an empty city, what credit can it take to win the city?

……

Chen Ziyi, Yang Yun, Geng Zhongnian, and Wang De rode horses and galloped away from the enemy camp.

They had to see the wolf smoke before they could set off, because once they were dispatched in advance, the Jin soldiers would definitely return to the camp to help, and Zhang Guangdao would not be able to fight at all.

Wang De, who had just been formed, first entered the camp, and also rode with the cavalry, they were the main force attacking the enemy camp.

There were some scattered golden soldiers along the way, all of them were Jurchen light cavalry sent to keep an eye on them.

A part of the Ming cavalry was responsible for driving away those Jurchen light cavalry, and the main force of the Ming cavalry was running fast.

Hurry up and hurry, approaching the valley.

All the cavalry dismounted, fed the horses bean cakes and salt water, and restored the horses' physical strength as soon as possible.

The heavy cavalry under Chen Ziyi has increased to more than a thousand points. The equipment is not lost to the Hezha Meng'an of the Jin State at all, but the quality of the war horses and cavalry is still slightly inferior, and the number of frontal cavalry hedging may be at a disadvantage.

The servants brought in heavy armor to assist the heavy cavalry in putting it on.

These thousand and dozens of heavy cavalry, in order to attack the enemy camp, temporarily turned into heavy infantry.

Wang De led five hundred to the camp first, closely following the heavy cavalry.

Two thousand horsemen also dismounted and fought on foot, cooperating with the main force to capture the camp.

Another two thousand horsemen rode and led their horses to rest in place. If the attack on the enemy camp did not go well, they were responsible for holding back the Jin soldiers who had arrived.

The subordinates of the heavy cavalry, however, also rode on their war horses, temporarily converted into light cavalry, and dispersed to investigate the military situation.

Most of the soldiers responsible for guarding the Jin Camp are Yuxian defenders.

They used to be the Liao refugees who were placed in Shanxi by Song Huizong, and they were incompatible with the local Han people in Shanxi, and they helped Wanyan Zonghan to seize the city.

In addition, there are 200 Jin Guo Xiao horsemen in the battalion.

In the direction of Yao Pingzhong's attack, there were another 300 Jin State light cavalry, and when they found the Ming army, they would immediately come back to report the news.

These five hundred horsemen and light cavalry, after converging, can form ten cavalry combat squads.

And, of course, the people.

"All of them have taken up arms, you have already invested gold, and you will be killed by the Ming army!"

"Whoever dares to take a step back will be beheaded immediately!"

The people were issued improvised weapons, trembling to assist in defending the city, and Saba personally led 200 gold soldiers as the overseer and reserve.

The name Saba is extremely common in the Liao and Jin countries, just like the big strong and iron pillar in the Han name. Its original meaning is "swift" and comes from the Khitan language.

The person in front of him, whose full name is Wendu Saba, is the third son of Wu Du, the leader of the Jurchen Wendu tribe.

"The Ming army is climbing the mountain, you send 400 soldiers each to defend the slopes on both sides!" Wen Du Saba said to the Han general Zhang He.

"Yes!"

Zhang He was also born as a Han refugee in Liao, and was promoted to a general to garrison Yu County because he should help Yan Zonghan seize the city.

This camp in the valley was set up only yesterday afternoon, there are no moats and barriers, only wooden fences have been erected, and a lot of thistles are sprinkled outside.

A thousand heavy cavalrymen, with a four-meter-long cavalry spear, slowly walked towards the golden camp, followed by five hundred first camps.

There were 1,000 Ming cavalry on each side, abandoning their horses and climbing the hillside to kill the enemy camp.

"Don't shoot those heavy armorers, arrows are useless!" Wendusa shouted.

Arrows were constantly being fired at the heavy cavalry, and they were bounced off with a clang, and there were few that could be inserted into the armor.

Chen Ziyi stood outside the village to command the battle, although he only led 5,000 cavalry, but the rank was extremely high, after all, there was the only heavy cavalry unit in the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of the thousand iron cans armed to the face, as they slowly moved forward, the defenders were obviously panicking.

Bow and arrow shooting is completely ineffective!

"Put!"

Da Ming Xiaocai, who abandoned his horse on both sides to climb the mountain, was already shooting arrows at the enemy camp.

The armor rate of the defenders of Yuxian County is very low, and the people who assist in the defense are even wearing cloth clothes.

After a round of arrow rain, the people had already fled, and more than 20 people were hacked to death on the spot by the Jin Bing Supervision team, and the rest cried and turned back to defend.

The Jin soldiers also began to shoot arrows, no longer shooting at the heavy cavalry, but instead shooting at the horsemen on the hillsides on both sides.

The heavy cavalry carefully stepped to avoid the thistles, and it was inevitable that unlucky people would step on them, and it could be regarded as a wounded soldier.

Near the wooden fence of the enemy camp, the four-meter cavalry spears that had been erected fell forward one after another. Leaning on the top of the wooden fence, continue to accelerate forward while poking at enemies diagonally above.

Then he abandoned his spear and slammed forward with the enemy's weapon.

Even people with heavy armor slammed into the wooden fences.

The wooden fence has two lanes, about half a meter apart, and the middle is filled with loess blocks. The two wooden fences are not only inserted into the earth, but also tied to each other with ropes.

That is, two wooden fences and many loess blocks form a walled wall more than half a meter thick.

One night and half a day, the speed at which the Jin soldiers could build such fortifications was already very fast.

Behind the wooden fence, there was a low wall made of loess blocks, and the golden soldiers stood on the low wall to defend condescendingly.

"Boom!"

The heavy cavalry slammed into the wall.

The impact of one person will definitely have no effect, but the force and momentum of nearly a thousand iron cans will be very amazing.

The half-meter-thick civil structure wall, reinforced by the low wall of the defenders, was obviously slightly shaken by the impact of this thousand-heavy armor!

It is only filled with loess blocks, and it is not tamped, and there are a lot of gaps in the middle, and it is estimated that it will fall down after hitting it a few times.

The Walled Gate is the most vulnerable, even if it is found that the Ming army is coming, the Jin soldiers have moved a lot of loess blocks, and it is still useless to base on the inside of the Walled Gate.

Several heavy cavalry slammed together, and the gate shook suddenly, and the loess blocks built up inside rolled down several lumps.

"Minfu! The people threw away their weapons, and all of them leaned against the wall and the gate to exert their strength! ”

Wen Du Saba was afraid that the wall and gate of the village would collapse, so he asked the Jurchen Governor team to force the people to stick to it, and use the human wall to block it there to strengthen the wall.

Just as the defenders were concentrating on the heavy cavalry and the cavalry, the first to the camp following the heavy cavalry suddenly split in two and climbed towards the slopes on both sides.

There is also a walled wall, but it is not easy to construct and is much shorter.

Wang De wore dozens of pounds of armor, ran quickly on the flat ground, and took advantage of the momentum to rush up the slope of fifty degrees. Although the speed gradually slowed down, it rushed up more and more.

The Liao Han army guarding there hurriedly threw loess blocks.

These loess blocks are irregular, they can't roll up at all, they can only slide down the slope, and Wang De can even jump to avoid when he climbs the charge.

"Phew!"

Two spears poked, Wang De stretched out his left arm and stirred, and actually clamped the defender's two spears under his armpit.

"Kill!"

A dozen cavalrymen who had climbed the hillside and threw themselves into the village gave up their bows and arrows and came to help with a rain of arrows. They poked at the enemy with long cavalry spears, covering Wang De's continued upward charge.

There were also Xiao cavalry who rushed to the bottom of the slope wall despite the rain of arrows and loess blocks, regardless of the danger, and half-squatted and shouted to the Xiandeng camp under Wang De: "Come up quickly!" ”

The strong man who ascended to the camp first quickly understood what he meant, and rushed over desperately to press the wall with his hands, and stepped on the hands of the cavalry with both feet.

"Up!"

The two cavalrymen half-squatted and spread their hands, and together they worked together to lift a warrior who had ascended first.

Many of the warriors who had ascended to the top of the wall rolled up to the top of the wall, some were stabbed in the face or neck with melee weapons by the defenders, and some were pushed out and dropped by spears or arms.

But after all, some people can continue to fight, and even when they can't fight quickly, they directly turn over and roll into the wall, knocking down the defenders standing on the low wall inside.

This time, it was not Wang De who broke in first, but a few warriors under his command, who climbed into the wall of the wall and fought in blood, and were soon injured and turned into blood gourds.

The chaos caused by those warriors to the enemy army provided Wang De with a small opportunity.

Wang De climbed to the slope of the hill where the wall could not be constructed, and with spears, arrows, and loess blocks, he grabbed the ankle of one of the defenders.

"Dead open!"

Wang De's loud voice shouted, and he dragged this person down directly from a high place.

The defenders here, who had the advantage of numbers and terrain, were frightened at this time, and they were frightened by Wang De alone.

They used to be just exiles from the Liao Kingdom, and although they were also ruthless, they had never fought any tough battles. Where have you ever seen such a living Hades?

Wang De was burly and tall, with dark skin like iron, and he attacked like a god.

"It's the Yaksha who has come to ask for his life!"

A Liao man was so frightened that he threw away his weapon and fled, and several other defenders nearby subconsciously fled.

It's outrageous, this highland king has not yet been captured, and the defenders are actually scared away by his majesty.

Wang De took the opportunity to occupy the high ground and yelled at the warriors under his command: "Come here and follow me first!" ”

"Kill!"

The morale of the first camp was greatly boosted.
