Chapter 783, the defeat is like a mountain
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a long time, it seemed like a short time, but I felt my ears buzzing, and other sounds sounded like they were in a dream; The figure in front of me was longing, a little blurry, and it felt like a scene in a dream.
Huyan Bixian shook his head and stood up against the wall. I was shocked to see a huge gap in the east city wall, and the violent explosion just now collapsed that part of the city wall! On the surrounding city walls, the soldiers who did not die under the city walls were struggling to get up. Huyan Bixian hurriedly looked outside the city, only to see a surge of soldiers outside the city, surging towards the gap. Huyan was shocked, and shouted urgently: "Prepare for battle!" Then Huyan Bixian hurried down the city wall.
Before the reserve arrived at the breach, most of them lined up on the flat ground in front of the breach, and the other part climbed up to the roof near the breach, took out their bows and arrows, and prepared for it.
All you can hear outside the city is the sound of war drums and horns, rumbling footsteps and bursts of thrilling shouts, constantly approaching! A moment later, the loud sound rolled overhead like rolling thunder, making people's scalps tingle!
Suddenly, I saw a surging crowd of people rushing in on the ruins of the gap, howling and rushing in! It was like a pack of wolves suddenly rushing into their homeland!
Shoot the arrows! The officers and men on the roof immediately fired arrows, and the arrows flew like locusts towards the tide of enemy soldiers pouring in from the gap, causing countless ripples when they landed. However, this did not stop the enemy's offensive at all, and I saw that the surging tide of soldiers rushed straight towards the Ming army array!
Get ready! Roar! The Ming soldiers shouted in unison, and their eyes widened. Seeing that fierce and crazy faces getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts were boiling!
In the blink of an eye, the surging tide of soldiers slammed heavily on the Daming spinning line, making a huge sound, and the shield defense line of the Daming army was bumpy and uneven in an instant. The allied soldiers howled and frantically brandished their swords, guns and battle axes, and slammed forward, trying to break the defense line of the Ming army in one go! The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty tried their best to stabilize the defense line, and they all roared with all their strength! However, the defense line is constantly concave in many places, and it looks like it will be unable to support it!
At this moment, hundreds of Ming troops behind the defense line struggled to reveal a thunderstorm. The swarthy thunder fell into the coalition army, and no one paid attention to these inconspicuous black spheres as the coalition officers and soldiers were charging forward with boiling blood.
Boom boom boom ......! The dull sound of explosions suddenly rang out in succession, instantly overshadowing the roars of the soldiers on both sides. In the midst of the fireworks, many coalition soldiers were knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and were knocked to the ground by the flying debris! The soldiers of the coalition couldn't help but panic, and the strength of the collective charge was sharply reduced!
Huyan Bixian saw the opportunity and shouted: "The Mo Sword Army is attacking!" ”
The line immediately separated, and hundreds of tower-like soldiers armed with huge knives roared out of the military formation and crashed into the enemy army! Wildly wielding the Mo knife, in the flickering of the knife light, I saw blood and stumps flying all over the sky! The enemy army is not a bad breed, they see the fierceness of the opponent, although there is some trepidation in their hearts, but they are still dominated by the madness in their hearts, howling and rushing forward. The two sides fought a bloody battle, killing the Jedi terribly, the sky was dark, the corpses pillowed, and the blood was flying! Although the Modao Army is indomitable like the Grim Reaper who harvests life, the enemy army is also like crazy beasts, fighting to the death! Swords and swords, axes and spears, one by one warriors were killed, and one by one warriors fell in a pool of blood!
A Mo sword army killed more than a dozen enemies in a row in the enemy thicket, and then several enemies rushed up from all directions with a howl. The Mo Sword Army waved the Mo Sword with both hands, and with a flash of cold light, it slashed the head of an enemy in front of him. The enemy on the right rushed up, howled and raised his one-handed battle axe to slash down on the shoulder of the Mo Dao Army, and with a muffled snap, the battle axe cut through the outermost two layers of armor but failed to cut the innermost layer of armor. The Mo Dao Army turned the Mo Dao around, stabbed it backwards, and with a snort, the Mo Dao easily pierced the opponent's chain mail and then pierced the opponent's body! The enemy screamed and spewed out a mouthful of blood! Don't wait for this Mo Dao Army to pull back the Mo Dao! The other two enemies had already pounced, and the enemy on the left side of the back side waved the cross sword and howled and slashed wildly towards the chest of the Mo Dao Army, and with a snap, the cross sword was blocked by the heavy armor and could not hurt the Mo Dao Army at all!
At this moment, another enemy pounced from behind the Mo Dao Army, his left hand slammed around the neck of the Mo Dao Army, and the long sword in his right hand kept stabbing him in the ribs, but the Mo Dao Army was protected by heavy armor, and the opponent's sword stab did not play any role at all. The Mo Dao Army let go of the Mo knife that could not be withdrawn, and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist. The backhand stabbed at the enemy behind him, and with a snort, the horizontal knife stabbed into the man's abdomen, and the man spurted out a mouthful of blood, but his face showed a look of madness, and he was still desperately wrapped around the neck of the Mo Dao Army, and the Mo Dao Army couldn't break free for a while.
The coalition army in front of him immediately raised his cross sword and slashed at the throat of the Mo Dao Army, that was the only weakness, although it was also protected by armor, but it was much weaker than other places. The cross sword slashed through the armor in one fell swoop, slashed the throat of the Mo Dao Army, and a bloody arrow burst out! The Mo Knife Army, which seemed to be an invincible Grim Reaper, fell, and so did the coalition soldier around his neck.
Huyan will see that the Modao army cannot defeat the enemy army, and more and more enemy troops are pouring into the gap. Immediately lead all the soldiers and horses to charge, and the two sides will fight a bloody battle near the gap! The Ming army did not retreat an inch, the coalition army desperately moved forward, swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, and before you knew it, there was no place to settle on the ground, covered with layers of corpses! The vicious battle continued, and the enemy's huge strength advantage was gradually reflected at this time, and the Ming army gradually could not support it, and the enemy was about to succeed!
Seeing that it was difficult to hold on, Huyanbi ordered the army to retreat into the city. The Ming army gave up the battle and retreated into the city, and the coalition army cheered and poured into the city like a flood that broke the embankment.
Huyan Bixian led the remaining soldiers and horses to prepare for street fighting, and at the same time ordered the herald to send a red signal rocket.
The enemy army rushed into the city, and the roar was earth-shattering. At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the batteries of the west, south and north city walls, and the whistling shells flew into the tide of the enemy army, smashing the enemy's flesh and blood, and then violent explosions rang out one after another, and the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties! However, this did not stop the enemy from entering the city, and as more and more enemies entered the city, deeper and deeper, the fire on the three sides of the batteries gradually became ineffective.
The Ming army fell into a brutal bloody battle with the coalition army in the streets and alleys, and the city was also a scene of tragic melee. The Ming soldiers fought with all their might, and they died in bloody battles. Those Tianzhu people hid in their homes, hugging each other and trembling and listening to the terrifying fighting sound on the street outside! Trembling all over, he was only worried that the two sides of the fight would suddenly break into his door.
Huyan Bixian didn't know how many enemies he had killed, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in blood, but there were more and more enemies, and they couldn't kill them at all, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers on his own side! However, the feeling of the coalition army is very shocked and unacceptable, they didn't expect the enemy to be so tenacious, the city was breached, and they are still fighting desperately, they would rather die than fight to the death, there is no intention of retreating at all, they have been fighting for a long time, it is getting dark, and they have not really been able to defeat them! And every time you take a step forward, you have to pay a very heavy price for not occupying an alley!
Standing on the city wall and watching the scene of the fierce battle in the city, Odin couldn't help but curse: "Fuck! Who said that the Oriental people are cowardly, I have to arrest him and fight these Orientals! ”
Huyan Bixian is fighting to the death, and all the soldiers of the Ming army are fighting to the death! However, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, and the amazing bravery of the Ming army is difficult to recover from defeat! The coalition forces occupy more and more places, and the defeat of the Ming army is decided!
Boom......! There seemed to be a drum beat in the sky.
Yang Zhi, who was fighting bloodily, was stunned for a moment, slashed down the enemy officer who rushed up with a knife, and listened attentively. Knock knock knock ......! It's the drums! Huyan Bixian's blood-soaked face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he shouted loudly: "The general is here!" The Great General is here! ”
When the Ming soldiers heard the cry of Huyan Bixian, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they heard the more and more clear war drums, and they couldn't help but feel happy on their faces. Huyan Bixian raised his big sword and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to fight back!" Kill! "Kill! The remaining Ming soldiers burst out with a shocking killing sound, and in a desperate situation, they even launched a fierce counterattack! The coalition forces were caught off guard and were killed with blood flying, and many of the streets and alleys that had been lost were quickly regained!
At the same time, the coalition officers and soldiers outside the city were in disarray, as war drums were heard from all sides, while the camp outside the city gate to the north seemed to be under surprise attack by the enemy, and there was a chaotic shouting and fighting, and the situation seemed to be wrong.
Just when the kings and noble generals were in doubt, a scout galloped in front of everyone and said urgently: "Oh no! Enemies, enemies are coming up from all sides! As if in response to his words, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from all directions, and I saw that under the afterglow of the setting sun, it seemed that countless war horses swept from all directions like a storm, and the smoke and dust were billowing, as if countless storms suddenly appeared between heaven and earth. The coalition forces suddenly saw such a scene and couldn't help but panic. Before he could think of any measures to take, the perimeter had already collapsed under the stormy cavalry of the opponent's wind! The defeated soldiers fled from all directions!
Philip said urgently: "Quickly send a message to all armies to line up to meet the enemy!" ”
"Look, my lord!" Charlie, a close confidant, suddenly pointed to the west and shouted. Philip looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the Venetians had abandoned their positions and fled south. Philip was so annoyed that he couldn't help but curse. Charlie pointed to the positions of the English and shouted: "The English army has also fled!" ”
When Philip saw that the English army had also run away, his face couldn't help but change. Immediately, I saw that the armies of other countries also turned around and fled for their lives. Charlie said urgently: "My lord, let's go too!" Philip was very unwilling, but now that the matter had come to this, what could he do but flee with his army? Stay? Then you will have to face this boundless enemy alone, and the result can only be total annihilation. Philip shouted at Charlie, "Give the order to go down, and the army will retreat to the river!" "The Grand Duke's army also began to retreat.
However, at this time, it was too late to retreat, and the Ming Dynasty hundreds of thousands of troops besieged it from all directions, and with the elite war cavalry as the vanguard, the retreating coalition army was rushed to pieces. Immediately, the horses stepped on thousands of troops, and the infantry swept away, killing the corpses of the allied soldiers all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river; Although the soldiers of the coalition army want to resist, how can they withstand the fierce attack of the main force of the Ming Dynasty like a landslide and tsunami!
The army collapsed completely, and the remnants of the defeated army fled straight to the river. Panicked and fled to the river, scrambling to get into the boat, falling into the water and struggling so hard that the whole water seemed to be boiling. At this moment, the terrible Ming warriors arrived, and under the reflection of the moonlight, they rushed into the river like demons pouring out of hell, killing mercilessly, and the screams rang out, and the moon seemed to turn red.
Those who had already boarded the boat did not care about those who had not yet boarded the boat, and hurriedly sailed away from the shore. As the boat drifted away, the people on board couldn't help but blame themselves when they looked at the people who were still struggling and shouting on the shore, and some of them couldn't help but shed tears. But the danger finally faded away, and everyone felt a little happy in their hearts.
Philip was stunned and sat down in the cabin. He still felt unacceptable about the sudden change in the battle situation, and said depressedly: "What the hell is going on? How did so many enemies suddenly appear and surround us all? Philip vaguely felt as if he had fallen into a trap of the other party, but he couldn't figure out what was going on!
Actually, this matter is very simple. As the commander of this area, Shi Liancheng disappeared with the main force at the time of this great war, which is naturally abnormal. Shi Liancheng naturally did not lead the main force to deal with the Tianzhu people, but set up a huge pocket formation for the Heavenly Kingdom Alliance. You may ask, how can Slen Cheng know that the Celestial Alliance will definitely attack Dhaka? In fact, this is not a difficult thing to judge, and Shi Liancheng can't be completely sure, but since Dhaka is the largest city controlled by the Ming Dynasty on this coast, and it is not far from the coast, the Heavenly Alliance will attack, and nine out of ten should attack Dhaka. Therefore, Slen decided to crush the enemy army under the city of Dhaka.
Then why did Slen City only leave less than 30,000 defenders in Dhaka, and after so many days of attacking the coalition forces, Dhaka was almost broken before rushing to besiege the coalition forces? The reason is simple. Putting up a pocket array is not a simple thing either. The enemy is not stupid, a large number of scouts will be sent in front of or even around any army, and the kind of battle examples that can be easily ambushed and successfully ambushed in film and television dramas are actually rare. If the Ming army was ambushed near Dhaka and could not be detected by the enemy's sight, the enemy would inevitably turn around and retreat immediately, and the plan would have failed. Therefore, Wu Song ordered the troops to lie in ambush in a remote place far away, waiting for orders.
The enemy scouts did not notice the abnormality, and the enemy army attacked the city with all their might, and at this time, the main forces of the Ming Dynasty began to act according to the prior plan, but it took several days for them to go out from the ambush position to the attack position, and in these few days, Huyan Bixian was required to withstand the enemy's offensive. Originally, Shi Liancheng judged that Huyan Bixian led 30,000 soldiers and horses to rely on the city to hold for a few days, and there should be no problem at all, but he didn't expect that the enemy would find a flaw in the city wall and collapse the city wall with gunpowder. War is like this, and it is difficult for any powerful commander to fully grasp the trend of war! Strategizing to win thousands of miles away, this is just a romantic dream, and it is difficult to achieve in reality! The outcome of the war is not determined by the wisdom of the generals, but by the bravery of the soldiers! The general is resourceful enough, just qualified, there is nothing to boast about, on the contrary, if he is deceived by the enemy's small tricks, it is the incompetence of the general!
After a sigh, Philip asked Charlie, "How many of our troops have retreated?" ”
Charlie said: "Less than half! ”
Philip was taken aback, "Less than half!?" ”
Charlie said: "We have a lot of troops to withdraw. Only about a third of the other armies retreated, and the Venetian and Norwegian armies were almost completely wiped out, with only a few of their kings and commanders fleeing. ”
Philip was shocked, remembering the terrible scene of the Ming army rushing in all directions just now, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations. Then he mocked: "The Venetians were the first to run, why did they all wipe out?" ”
Charlie gloated: "It was because they ran first that they crashed into the elite troops blocking the back road of Daming." The Venetians were caught off guard, first suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows from the other side, and then were rushed to pieces by the opponent's cavalry infantry army, and were slashed and killed like chopping melons and vegetables, and Marcono and the others also escaped that catastrophe by luck! However, we were able to evacuate so many people thanks to the Venetians, and if they hadn't broken through the enemy's ambush with their own lives, we would have retreated along that road, and the consequences would have been unimaginable! Philip couldn't help but nod. Immediately thinking that this large-scale crusade ended in such a fiasco, I couldn't help but be very frustrated.
Recalling the strength of the Ming army, Philip couldn't help but turn pale, and couldn't help muttering: "We are all wrong, we are all wrong!" These Orientals are not only not sheep, they are clearly demons! Fight to the death in defense and be unstoppable in attack! With such a formidable army, I am afraid that only the army of the Holy Roman Empire can compare with it! Charlie nodded approvingly.
Philip frowned, "We ended up in such a fiasco, and we won't have the face to see anyone when we go back!" Charlie was startled and said urgently: "My lord can't go back!" It is already a gift from God that we can escape! If you go back, you will definitely die! ”
Philip waved his hand and said, "I'm not going back to fight with the Ming people!" Alas, it's not a pleasant thing to fight with those demons! Charlie heard him say this, and knew that he didn't want to go back to fight with Da Ming, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Philip said: "We came all the way, and the Oriental people are not the only Daming family. The Ming people are not easy to mess with, but the others seem to be useless things, and they are easy to deal with! When Cha Li arrived at the two small countries that were wiped out on the island of Western Europe, he nodded with deep sympathy, and said: "My lord is right, the people of the two countries on Xiou Island are nothing remarkable, they are simply a group of sheep that can only be slaughtered by others. It didn't take much effort to destroy those two countries! ”
Philip said to Charles, "Send at once to inform the kings, generals, and nobles to come to my ship." Charlie said yes and ran down.
On the other side, Shi Liancheng was directing the army to clean up the battlefield, and the huge battlefield was littered with corpses, while the baggage, supplies, weapons, and armor of the coalition army were piled up. The coalition forces fled for their lives and threw away everything they could. In this battle, although Huyan Bixian's defenders suffered heavy losses, they were a complete victory on the whole. More than 200,000 Heavenly Alliance troops were completely defeated, two-thirds of the army was annihilated, only 70,000 or 80,000 people fled, countless people died, and another 10,000 or 20,000 were taken prisoner by the Ming army.
Huyan Bixian came to Wu Song on his horse, hugged his fists and said, "General, fortunately you came in time!" Two hours too late, I won't be able to hold on! ”
Shi Liancheng pointed to the city wall that had broken into a huge gap in the distance and asked, "What's going on?" Even if the enemy piled up gunpowder under the city wall, he would not have blown up such a huge hole in one fell swoop! ”
Hu Yan Bixian glanced at the huge gap, shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on?" Shi Liancheng said: "There must be something wrong with the city wall itself that has been discovered by the enemy, otherwise there will never be such a situation!" In the future, the city wall will strengthen inspections, and no small problems can be let go! "Huyan will show his fists in response.
Shi Liancheng said: "The prisoners captured alive will be handed over to you for custody, waiting for Your Majesty to dispose of them." "Yes."
A fast horse galloped from a distance, and it was not until Shi Liancheng was in front of him that he reined in his horse, hugged his fists and said: "General, news has come from the border sentry that the Tianzhu army has arrived at the border and put on an offensive posture!" ”
Shi Liancheng smiled coldly, "The barbarians of the dog day are here to die!" Then he shouted: "Order all the armies, clean up the battlefield immediately, and the army will set off to the northwest!" All the generals around him agreed together.
At about the same time, Duan Zhixian, who was in the Bagan region in the east, received a report from scouts that the Viet Li Dynasty had finally dispatched an army of 100,000 troops, with Zongtong as the commander, and went straight to the Bagan region. Duan Zhixian was so excited when he got the news that he handed over the matter of guarding the coast to Shi Ping, and he himself led 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the Yue Li Chao army, ready to give them a head-on attack.
Let's put aside the land for a moment, and let's turn our attention to the sea. After Wang Hai and Wang Rong led the main force to leave the port and head north, for several days, the English fleet outside did not take any action. And on this morning, the sudden alarm woke up Yang Peng, who was sleeping soundly. Yang Peng immediately got out of bed and put on his clothes and pants. Before he could go out, Yan Ji hurriedly barged in and said with an annoyed face: "Husband, Wang Hai and Wang Rong will give the enemy a chance when they go!" The enemy fleet poured out of the nest and slaughtered the city! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
