Chapter 835 - 0830 [Grain and Grass Defense]

Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan lived together, and they had led troops to defend the camp, and also ordered some grassland troops to assist in the defense.

In the blink of an eye, the steppe cavalry who were forced by them to guard the village took advantage of the chaos in the camp to escape.

"Commanding soldiers, wait for the southern thief to get close before releasing the arrow!" Wan Yan closed and shouted.

Yue Fei led Da Ming Xiao to ride closer and closer, as if he wanted to ride a horse to hit the camp. Suddenly, a military horn sounded, and the Daming Xiao cavalry was divided into two, and circled to both sides dozens of meters outside the camp.

They attracted the Jurchen elite, but they didn't think about attacking the fortifications at all, but went around to the east and west sides of the Jin barracks.

There are steppe cavalry burning camps as a signal!

More than 1,600 Ming horsemen, led by Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Xu Qing, and Luo Ruming, were divided into four groups and rushed in from different village gates.

They set fire to military tents along the way, slashed and killed the grassland tribes who were unwilling to surrender, and completely messed up the entire Jin soldier camp.

The fire flickered, and the people shouted and the horses neighed.

Faced with the chaotic camp of porridge, Wanyan Mouyan was directly stunned in place, not knowing where Yue Fei had gone, and he didn't know what to do next.

He couldn't even tell which of the many steppe cavalry galloping horses had surrendered to the Ming army, and which ones were still loyal to the Jin State.

"Hurry up and save food!" After all, he is a veteran and understands what the current priority is.

Only then did Yan Mouyan react: "Follow me to save food!" ”

They left the vicinity of the earthen ramparts, mounted their horses, and galloped in the direction of the granary.

There is a lot of military ration for tens of thousands of people, piled up in large and small granaries. In order to prevent the spread of fire, the granaries were also separated from each other.

If you want to burn the military rations, it is very difficult, you have to ignite them one after another.

At this time, more than a dozen granaries had been set on fire, and the Jurchen soldiers did not go to put out the fire, but galloped to slash and kill the steppe cavalry who were still setting fires.

"A team of fifty, don't run away!" Wanyan Hezhu admonished again, and asked the soldiers to go over and reiterate the military order.

No matter how dangerous it was, they had to delay until Yan Zonghan returned with his troops.

Da Ming Xiao rode but did not give a chance, Luo Ruming was the first to kill from the vicinity, leading more than 400 cavalry to attack the two teams of Jurchen cavalry.

Those Jurchen soldiers were driving away the steppe cavalry who had set fire, and suddenly they were attacked by the Ming army, which was four times their size, on the side. Immediately killed by surprise, they alternately covered the retreat, and sounded the trumpet to call for friendly reinforcements.

Luo Ruming only killed and wounded dozens of enemy soldiers, then ordered an immediate withdrawal and retreated to the chaotic military camp with his soldiers.

There were a few Ming cavalry who fell behind on the way, but it didn't hurt. Even if they are separated from their own troops, these Ming horsemen can continue to cause chaos, picking up torches and burning flammable materials when they see them.

In another granary, Yue Fei also led more than 400 horsemen to raid the Jurchen soldiers who were protecting the military rations.

The area of the granaries is too large, and the Jurchen soldiers here are overwhelmed. They had to disperse to drive out the steppe cavalry, but once they dispersed, they were vulnerable to attack.

Drag time with your life!

In the camp of the golden soldiers, there are already flames everywhere.

Most of the steppe cavalry chose to flee from the camp, and some fled as fast as possible to the north, they just wanted to get back to the steppe as quickly as possible. There are also some tribes that have gathered together, and they have already discussed the surrender of the Ming Dynasty.

A Da Ming horseman who was alone in the chaos set fire to more than ten military tents, and ran to the gate of the village in a daze.

He saw a lot of torches lit outside the camp and knew that it was the steppe cavalry watching the play. So he beat his horse and ran out and shouted: "I am a Ming cavalryman, don't be stunned anymore, go with me to kill the Jurchen!" Meritorious tribes, reward 100 pairs of iron armor! ”

Most of the grassland tribesmen could not understand Chinese, but a few could understand it.

Under the repeated shouts of the Da Ming Xiao cavalry, someone finally led the troops to follow closely and helped shout in Khitan dialect.

Soon, more than a thousand horsemen followed this man, rushed into the burning camp again, and galloped away in the direction of the granary.

These guys didn't dare to fight with the Jurchen cavalry in close combat, and they were even a little confused about where the Jurchen was and where the Ming army was. Anyway, whoever protects the grain and grass shoots whoever kills, and when no one kills, they keep shooting, and when someone kills, they run away when they hit the horses.

The Jurchen cavalry was so annoyed that it seemed that there were countless mosquitoes flying in the night.

Wang Gui had led his troops to raid for the second time, and he led his troops around the camp, and at this moment he saw someone guarding the granary and rushed forward. He didn't even know who he was rushing at, only that the other party had fewer soldiers than himself, and he was very embarrassed by the steppe cavalry.

Wang Gui led the army to rush away, and the first thing to scare away was a group of steppe cavalry who were shooting arrows - they thought that Wang Gui was a Jurchen general.

Wanyan Mouyan was driving away a group of steppe cavalry when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves behind him.

Immediately after, there was another noise from the side.

However, the passage here is too narrow, and the four hundred horsemen under Wang Gui's command are divided into two teams to attack on both sides.

Wanyan Mouyan was about to turn around to meet the enemy, when suddenly an arrow flew in.

It wasn't very powerful, but it hit him right in the cheek.

The devil knows which herdsman is shooting arrows, because there are archers everywhere.

Wanyan Mouyan's teeth were in severe pain, and he reached out to pull out the arrow, tearing his face apart.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death, drag it until the marshal comes back with his troops!" Wanyan Mouyan shouted hard, pulling the wound and causing his facial muscles to twitch.

Xu Qing rushed from the other side, and he couldn't figure out which side of the scuffle was his own person.

But judging by the steppe cavalry, those guys must be shooting at the enemy!

Xu Qing led his troops to crash into it, and it instantly turned into a three-sided attack. No matter how fierce the Jurchen soldiers were, they were so killed that they didn't dare to carry it, and they broke through to the side where there was no Ming army.

Another group of Jurchen soldiers rushed to the rescue, and the steppe cavalry fled in a hurry where they passed along the way, and then shot arrows at this group of Jurchen soldiers.

Wang Gui led the army to pursue and kill, and the Jurchen soldiers who were responsible for covering had been annihilated by him. He continued to chase after him, preventing the enemy forces from breaking through to regroup.

Just then, reinforcements arrived!

Wanyan Zonghan was still halfway there, and it was Han Su who brought the Ming cavalry of Dading Mansion and thousands of grassland cavalry from Touming to kill.

The cavalry general sent by Wang Yan was called Shi Ziming, and in history, he led a group of civilian rebels to defeat Han Chang, who was already a member of the Jin Kingdom.

"General Yue has successfully attacked the camp, come with me to kill the gold thief. The whole army shouted, 100,000 Ming troops have arrived! Shi Ziming said to Han Su, "You go and tell those grassland tribesmen and let them shout that the 100,000 Ming army is coming!" ”

"100,000 Ming troops are here!"

"100,000 Ming troops are here!"

Han dialect and Khitan dialect were shouted by thousands of people.

Although the shouting is chaotic, you can understand it after listening to it a few times.

The grassland tribesmen who were still fighting outside the camp also joined the team one after another and killed in the direction of the granary.

On the side of the "Daming-Grassland Alliance", it instantly became imposing.

Those guys who only dared to shoot arrows were also enthusiastic at this moment, and rushed forward with their weapons.

The camp is on fire, the friendly forces are all rebelling, and it is not known how many enemies have come. Those Jurchen soldiers finally couldn't hold it anymore and broke through and fled towards a place with few people.

Wanyan Mouyan has been being chased and killed by Wang Gui and his troops, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers behind him.

I don't know how long I fled, and it had been two or three miles since I left the camp, and the sound of the Ming army's collection of troops came from the rear.

Wang Gui scolded and stopped the pursuit, and led his troops to the camp to join Yue Fei.

Wanyan Mouyan didn't dare to stay, continued to run for two miles, and finally stopped to count the number of people - the soldiers who were still following him were only a dozen or so left.

Continuing to flee to the south, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Wanyan Mouyan was so frightened that he hurriedly accelerated.

But Wanyan Hezhu came with the remnants of the soldiers, and the veteran's helmet was knocked off, and more than 200 Jurchen horsemen were brought out.

After more than a mile of progress, they met the vanguard sent back by Yan Zonghan.

Because he couldn't figure out the situation, he didn't dare to rush back, so he could only continue to wait for Yan Zonghan's main force.

Not long after, Wanyan Zonghan arrived, and when they met, he asked, "All the grain and grass have been burned?" ”

Wanyan Mouyan said: "Only more than ten granaries were burned, but the camp was occupied by southern thieves. ”

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily: "Idiot. You might as well let the grain and grass burn up! ”

Wanyan Mouyan defended: "It's just a very false rumor, those grassland tribes all believe it, thinking that the southern thieves have captured the rear city of our army. Those cavalry from the steppe, one after another rebelled or fled, I couldn't hold back at all. ”

At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan can finally understand Wanyan Zongfu, and there is really no way for the alien races under his command to rebel one after another.

Wanyan Zonghan asked, "How many southern thieves are coming?" ”

Wan Yan said together: "It shouldn't be much." Otherwise, we would have been unable to hold it for a long time, and we would not have been able to survive until now. However, many steppe tribes took refuge in the southern thieves. Although these people are unbearable, they are also very annoying to fight. ”

Wanyan Zonghan said without thinking: "The whole army will follow me to recapture the grain and grass. If you can't get back the grain and grass, the whole army will starve to death! ”

In fact, where Yan Zonghan attacked Li Yanxian, there was also grain and grass in the camp for several days. But he hurried back to keep more food and grass, and burned the military rations to the south.

Just as Yan Zonghan was rushing back, Yue Fei was also arranging the army.

He first sent a few light cavalry and a group of people to the west to contact Wang Yan, so that Wang Yan could speed up the march with the infantry and come to take over the Jin military camp as soon as possible. The other group bypassed the battlefield and let Li Yanxian lead the troops to advance slowly, rushing to the decisive battle while preventing the Jin soldiers from killing the horse pistol.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei took all the cavalry, including the grassland cavalry, to the wilderness south of the camp.

He had to finish the bloody battle with Yan Zonghan here, and drag it until Wang Yan's infantry arrived.

Although the steppe cavalry is not of great use, it is still okay to harass and delay time with archery.

Wanyan Zonghan came with the Jurchen elite, and immediately heard the sound of horns. Trumpets were blowing in the north, east, and west, and the hooves of horses running back and forth of cavalry, and I didn't know how many enemies there were in the darkness, as if Allah had been surrounded.

Extreme fear hung over the heads of the Jurchen soldiers.

They had just attacked Li Yanxian and suffered a fiasco, and the core elite suffered countless casualties. Now the camp is also occupied by the Ming army, and all the grain and grass have been taken away. and the lights were dark, and the trumpets and the hooves of horses sounded on all sides.

Wanyan Hezhu can guess that there are not many Ming troops, but ordinary soldiers don't know.

Even if they say it, they don't believe it.

Wanyan Zonghan ordered: "Don't care about anything else, go straight forward and take back our grain and grass!" ”
