0812 [Cataclysm]
"If you can still fight, follow me to hunt down!"
Yang Yun was furious at this moment, and roared for the cavalry to fight again.
When he was in Chengdu, he followed Deng Chunming, and when he was transferred to the north, he followed Chen Ziyi. Three years ago, he finally led the troops alone and was transferred back to the northern suburbs of Kaifeng, responsible for building the third cavalry corps of the Ming Dynasty.
These cavalry are all his hard work, and the officers and non-commissioned officers are all from the elite of various armies.
As a result, nearly 1,000 people were killed and injured in the first battle, and Yang Yun was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
In fact, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom suffered greater casualties.
More than 200 Hezha Meng'an were killed, more than 600 Jurchen Xiaocai were killed, and more than 500 Bohai Xiaocai were killed.
These more than 1,000 golden horsemen were all killed!
And what about Ming Qi? It's just that there are nearly a thousand dead and wounded.
At the time of the battle, more and more Ming cavalry rushed forward, and the golden cavalry that rushed in front was all trapped inside. Yang Yun and Li Shifu dismounted and fought on foot again, from the hillside to the flank, and the Jin cavalry all became live targets.
There were also sporadic battles at Taniguchi, all of which were killed by the Ming army around the Jin soldiers.
Even in order to capture the war horse, the Ming army no longer cut off the horse's legs. Several Ming soldiers armed with spears, stabbed a golden soldier in a group, poked him off his horse, and then rushed up and quickly killed him.
The soldiers of the Ming army have already been fired, and they don't want to catch prisoners, so they have to be killed on the spot to relieve their anger.
At the end of the battle, Yang Yun, Li Shifu, and Yang Zaixing had already reorganized their cavalry with their commands.
The Ming cavalry lying on the ground, whether wounded or killed, were quickly carried to the slopes on both sides, so as not to accidentally step on them when friendly troops passed.
"Report! There is no one in our army on the main road. ”
"Follow me after the enemy!"
"Woo woo woo ~ ~~"
Yang Yun gave an order, and the war horse slowly stepped across the battlefield, passed the valley mouth full of corpses, and immediately accelerated and ran forward.
At this moment, Liu Cao led the army to run fast.
In the battle just now, he guessed that it was Wanyan Sosuke who led the core elite to block the ambush.
Out of fear of Hezha Meng'an, Liu Cao did not dare to step forward at all, and took the clan soldiers to watch the whole battle in the rear.
Now that the Ming army has won, Liu Cao is afraid to death in his heart, worried that the Ming army will blame him for not working hard.
In the next battle, Liu Cao intends to go all out.
Even if more than half of the soldiers under his command were killed or wounded, they had to earn performance from the Ming army.
After a long delay, the cavalry of the Jin State had fled far away.
Wanyan Zongfu became more and more desperate, even if he couldn't defeat the Ming army's firearms and car formation, the cavalry battle was also a defeat for the Jin soldiers. Although the Ming army had more cavalry, the Jin cavalry was an ambush and raid, and there was also Hezha Meng'an as the leader.
He blamed himself very much and regretted that he shouldn't have blocked the Ming army at the valley just now.
Instead, they should be ambushed on both sides of the valley, wait for half of the Ming cavalry to rush out of the canyon, and then lead the army to attack the Ming army from both sides. Maybe we can win.
The reason why Wanyan Zongfu didn't do that was because the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom was in their early 2,000s. And the Ming cavalry is far more than that, if it is placed outside the valley to fight, it is not sure who cut whom.
There was no way, most of the Jin soldiers fled, and Wanyan Zongfu was in a hurry, so he could only bring this little soldier to block the attack.
In other words, the Song army or the Liao army, when they were rushed by the Jin cavalry, they were so frightened that they collapsed and fled on the spot. Even if he didn't collapse on the spot, he would never have been able to charge with his life. At this time, the cavalry in the front row of the Jin Kingdom could be calmly withdrawn, and the cavalry behind them charged alternately, and they collapsed after repeated attacks.
How do you know that the Ming army is all dead, and they all rushed to entangle the Jin soldiers before they died, and they continued to kill in the future. As a result, the tactics of the cavalry of the Jin State could not be used at all in the narrow terrain.
"Enter from the Urn City!"
Wanyan Zongfu shouted, and the Ming cavalry had chased closer.
Wanyan Xiyin, who was in charge of defending the city, also ordered the soldiers at the head of the city: "Draw a bow and shoot the enemy!" ”
Jin Guoxiao had already fled back to the city, and those who were still outside the city were all Hezha Meng'an with heavy armor.
They run slowly.
"Woohoo!"
The moment Hezha Meng'an escaped from the moat, thousands of arrows were shot from the city's head.
"Blow the trumpet, stop!"
The Ming army stopped one after another, watching the enemy enter the urn city.
Yang Yun said to Yang Zaixing: "Your troops have suffered heavy losses, retreat to the canyon just now to rest, and wait for the official family to lead the main force over." I'm staring at it. ”
Then he said to Li Shifu and Liu Cao: "You lead the troops and pursue them to the northeast, there should be a rout over there." Don't chase too far and come back immediately when you hear the bugle. ”
"Yes!"
The three of them took their orders and left.
To the northeast, there is indeed a rout.
Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Xiyin personally arranged the city defense, and they didn't have time to count the number of people, and they couldn't count the number of people who were blind in the black light.
"Wang Zheng! What about Wang Zheng? ”
Just when the troops were deployed to arrange the city defense, he suddenly found that the local marshal Wang Zheng was gone.
On Hosuguan Road, the Wang family is second only to the Gao family. Before being relocated to Youzhou, Ming Jin negotiated peace and moved back, the Wang family had hundreds of elite soldiers, and more than 2,000 militiamen were temporarily recruited.
Wanyan Xiyin hurriedly ran over: "Wang Zheng and Gao Jingshan are gone." Most of the militia they recruited fled back to the city, but their elite soldiers all disappeared. It's possible...... took advantage of the chaos to go to Liaoyang. ”
"Liaoyang ......"
Wanyan Zongfu was terrified: "Quickly send the light cavalry back to Liaoyang, the sooner the better, so that the defenders of Liaoyang are not allowed to open the city gate!" ”
Obviously, Gao Jingshan and Wang Zheng, the two guys, took advantage of the fact that someone was burning the camp to make trouble, and each took the elite clan soldiers and rode to Liaoyang at full speed.
They would pretend to be defeated and open the city gates, and then raid and kill the Jurchen soldiers stationed in Liaoyang.
There are not many Jurchen soldiers there, but there are countless Bohai tribes. All ethnic groups cooperated with each other to rebel, and it was easy to kill all the Jurchens, and then rescue the families of all ethnic groups, and bring the entire Liaoyang City to light.
Wanyan Xiyin said: "It may be too late." If Liaoyang falls, and there is no hostage of the families of all ethnic groups, the armies of all ethnic groups on the side of the Suguan will all have to rebel. ”
Wanyan Zongfu, who has always been mild-tempered, was extremely angry at this moment, clenched his fists and said, "If they are unkind, I will be unjust." Immediately convene a meeting of the generals of all ethnic groups, and you are ready to burn the grain and grass and evacuate with the Jurchen warriors. ”
"This is to ......," Wan Yan Xiyin was stunned.
Wanyan Zongfu's tone was cold: "Those heroes in the city, all killed!" ”
The edifice will fall, one crazier than the other.
Although the heroes of various ethnic groups did not discuss well, they had a tacit understanding when they started things.
Gao Jingshan and Wang Zheng led the elite soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to go to Liaoyang to rescue the hostages. The rest of the handsome people with the surnames stayed in the Haosu Pavilion, seemingly to help Wanyan Zongfu defend the city, but in fact, they wanted to delay time and take the opportunity to rebel.
And Wanyan Zongfu wants to kill all the heroes who are left!
The marshals who were arranging troops in various sections of the city wall ran to the meeting after receiving orders.
Everyone had already sat down in the lobby of the pavilion, but they didn't show up after seeing Yan Zongfu.
Just when he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a shout: "Kill! ”
Inside and outside the ya, shouts of killing were everywhere.
The heroes pulled out their weapons one after another, but when they saw the Jurchen soldiers pouring in from everywhere, they fired arrows at them indiscriminately without saying a word.
There were mountains of grain and grass in the city, but there were fires in several places.
Wanyan Xiyin sent Jurchen officers to the barracks of soldiers of all ethnic groups and the city walls to shout: "The grain and grass are on fire, all go and put out the fire!" ”
Just as the soldiers of all ethnic groups were running in panic, tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers rode out of the streets one after another, opening the east and north gates. And some of them were divided, riding horses and slashing the soldiers of all races who were fighting the fire, which instantly caused chaos in the whole city.
Of the more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers, only three or four thousand are left in the elite.
The rest were all recruits, with an average age of less than 16 and a minimum age of 13.
One man and two horses, they galloped towards the northeast.
Li Shifu and Liu Cao, who were pursuing the routed soldiers, were each returning with their own troops, and they happened to collide with these Jurchen soldiers.
The two were startled, and hurriedly went to the mountains to hide, thinking that the Jin soldiers were coming.
As a result, the more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers ignored them at all and galloped all the way towards Tangchi County.
"There's a fire in the city!"
"The golden soldiers are out of the city!"
Yang Yun was a mile outside the moat and suddenly saw smoke rising from the city, followed by a large number of golden soldiers riding out of the city.
He was a little confused, and then reacted: "The enemy army is in civil strife, quickly occupy the city." Also, capture the captives and put out the fire, don't burn the grain and grass! ”
The generals and lieutenants of all clans were killed, and their soldiers were driven and killed, and they were completely disorganized at this moment.
Tens of thousands of soldiers fled in a frenzy, some looting inside the city, intending to return home if they had stolen their goods. Some were just fleeing for their lives, rushing out of the city gates.
There were only a few middle- and low-ranking officers, who gathered a few hundred troops, and wanted to go out of the city to surrender to the Ming army. But they were blocked by the rebels, and they were stuck in various gates, and it was difficult to leave.
There was no one to put out the fire.
Not only were several granaries set on fire, but nearby houses were also set on fire.
Yang Yun led the Ming cavalry to rush across the moat, and the oncoming troops were full of routs, and they couldn't enter the city at all.
"Hurry up and shout, kneel to avoid death!" Yang Yun said urgently.
"Kneel down to avoid death!"
"Kneel down to avoid death!"
While shouting, he kills people, and those who stand in the way kill when they see it.
The routs along the way dodged and knelt on the ground, and Yang Yun killed a corpse in the doorway, and finally led the troops into the city.
An officer with more than 100 soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted: "We will descend to the light!" ”
Yang Yun shouted: "Fighting fires can be meritorious!" ”
The officer was blessed to the heart, and shouted in Chinese with a Liaodong accent: "Follow me to fight the fire and make meritorious service!" ”
"Fighting fires can be meritorious!"
The slogans of the Ming cavalry became like this, and they shouted gallop all the way. Many of the routs who fled for their lives also went to fight the fire, and more and more rout soldiers joined in.
The Ming cavalry divided into several units, and after the whole city was investigated, they came back and reported: "The granaries in the north and east cities cannot be saved, and the rest of the granaries can still be saved." ”
"Demolish the houses in the north and east cities and isolate the fire," Yang Yun commanded, "The rest of the soldiers and soldiers will all go to save the granaries elsewhere." ”
When Zhu Ming led the main force to arrive, the fire in the city had not been extinguished.
Chen Ao followed Zhu Ming's side, and at this moment he patted his ass and said: "The official family is famous, and the enemy army fled without a fight. ”
Zhu Ming muttered, "What the hell is this fighting?" Is it that I brought too many troops? ”
