Chapter 837, The Great Battle of Widow's Mountain
Khedira said depressedly: "I didn't expect the enemy to dare to take the initiative to attack!" Our army is obviously much higher than theirs! "Yesterday, Gomez led 50,000 men, then Muller arrived with 30,000 men and horses, and in the evening Khedira led 20,000 men and horses. In other words, the Crusaders are currently gathering almost twice as many soldiers and horses in front of the Widow's Mountain as the Ming army. In this case, according to the experience of these Holy Roman Empire generals, the opponent should never dare to attack, but they did not expect the opponent to dare to fight, which was greatly unexpected to them.
In fact, although this incident was beyond their expectations, they were not careless last night, and the vigilance was still very good, but they were still broken into their camp by the Ming army, causing them very heavy losses.
Mueller frowned and said, "These Ming people are as cunning as jackals!" They brazenly came from the west with torches, so that our vigilant troops thought that the follow-up troops had arrived and did not take precautions, but they were caught off guard and rushed into the camp! We have never faced such an opponent before, as fierce as a tiger and a leopard, and as cunning as a fox! ”
Gomez frowned and said: "These Ming troops are completely different from ***, and they are also completely different from the Tianzhu people, and they seem to be even stronger than the Liao people!" Then he said proudly: "Even if they are real devils, how can we be afraid!" We are warriors of God, we represent the glory of Heaven, and under the light of Heaven's light, those devils will surely perish! When Muller and Khedira heard this, they were in good spirits, and their eyes showed determination.
On the widow's hill, after arranging the defenses, they came to the side of the mountain and looked at the enemy camp below. Ma Jin ran behind Si Xingfang, hugged his fists and said, "General, everything is arranged according to your wishes." ”
Xingfang nodded towards the enemy camp below the mountain and said, "These guys are better than any enemy we've ever encountered before!" In that situation last night, if it were another opponent, we would have defeated them! But they didn't collapse, but we lost a lot! Ma Jin glanced at the crusader camp at the bottom of the mountain, frowned and nodded, and said, "This crusader is much more powerful than the previous crusader!" ”
Xingfang said: "It's not that the crusaders are powerful, it's the army of the Holy Roman Empire!" I originally thought that our Da Ming Xiaorui could dominate the world invincible, it seems that I really underestimate the heroes of the world! The soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire are no longer inferior to us! ”
Ma Jin nodded and asked, "The situation is different from what we expected before, do you want to change your plan?" Xingfang waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that!" Our army can block the enemy, and then wait for the general's troops and horses to arrive, and then launch a counterattack! ”
Early the next morning, the walker was awakened by the rumbling thunder and the shaking of the earth. Xingfang immediately sensed something, and immediately ran out of the big tent and looked to the west. I saw that on the western field, a huge army was approaching, like a sea and a tide, mighty! The main force of the enemy army has finally arrived!
Before Generalissimo Goode came to the barracks, Gomez and others came to greet him. Without saying a word, the two sides entered the barracks and went straight to the big tent. Generalissimo Goode walked to the top and sat down, while Cardinal Archbishop Mo Haotian stood next to Goode. Goode glanced at Gomez and the others, frowned, and said, "I just saw that many tents in the barracks have been burned, and many corpses are being transported into the big pit next to the barracks. ”
Gomez did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported the situation of yesterday's and last night's battles to Generalissimo Goode as it was. Goode didn't look so angry, glanced at Cardinal Archbishop Mo Haotian next to him, and said, "It seems that what you said is true!" Mo Haotian bowed down and said, "How dare I talk nonsense in front of the generalissimo." ”
Goode said excitedly: "I finally met a decent opponent!" It's really not interesting to fight against a cowardly opponent like *** and Tianzhu, only an enemy like Daming can show the bravery of our Germanic warriors! Only such a feat as defeating the Ming Dynasty can become an epic that will be admired by all generations! Gomez and the others couldn't help but get excited when they heard this.
Goode ordered: "Tell the armies, attack the Widow's Mountain!" "The people will make a promise together. The drums of war and the sound of trumpets sounded loud one after another, and the army of the Holy Roman Empire of more than 200,000 gathered into a huge military formation, shouting and approaching the Widow's Mountain neatly! The shouts were wave after wave, and the neat footsteps knocked on the earth at once, making a huge roar, just like the overwhelming huge war drums roaring under it, shocking people's hearts!
Xingfang frowned and said, "Good guy! These guys are really not simple! Then he said excitedly: "Let's see who is more powerful!" Ma Jin on the side clenched his fists and said: "General, please let me fight!" ”
Xingfang nodded, "Okay!" Fight to kill a few of the opponent's fierce generals! Ma Jin excitedly agreed, turned and stepped on the war horse, picked up the horse lance, and rode the horse down the mountain. At this time, the huge enemy army has stopped approaching, and the 200,000 or so troops are arrayed at 200 steps in front of the mountain, with banners and clouds, and the momentum is like a mountain.
Ma Jin rode his horse to the front of the two armies and raised his voice to challenge.
Mo Haotian, who was immediately beside Gude, immediately said to Gude: "Generalissimo, the other party is here to challenge!" This is a characteristic of warfare in the East, the battle will come out to challenge, and if the other side can't send a war general to fight, the blow to morale is not small! ”
Gooddon became interested and said, "A duel between knights?" Very good! ”
Several fierce generals around them asked for battle, and they were all eager to try. Goode looked at Daxter and said, "Daxter, you fight!" The unnamed generals could not help but express their disappointment, while Daxter was so excited that he immediately rode his horse out of the formation. Seeing their own fierce general Dast rushing out of the military formation, the HRE soldiers shouted excitedly, and their voices were deafening one after another.
Dast rushed to Ma Jin with his crosssword, reined in his horse, and spoke out loud. Ma Jin could not understand the Germanic language, and immediately shouted: "What nonsense, do it!" So saying, he rode his horse and rushed towards Duxter. The war drums on the mountain thundered and the shouts soared to the sky.
Seeing this, Daxter immediately raised the cross-sword monster and shouted to meet him. In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, Ma Jin waved the horse lance, Daxter swung the big sword, and in an instant, the two weapons collided together with a sonorous sound, and the sound shook the audience! Then the two horses staggered, each ran a dozen steps, turned the horse's head, and hedged again, and so on and so on several convergences, and the two horses were entangled together and killed. I saw two weapons clash like a tiger leaping over a dragon, and the thrilling impact sound rang out! The Great Cross Sword is powerful and heavy, while the pure steel horse lance is fast and fierce! Both of them are fierce generals in a thousand, one is a tiger, the other is an evil dragon, and they are difficult to solve! The two of them were able to kill, and they tried their best to attack, the sword light flickered, the horse lance flew, and the moves were thrilling! The soldiers on both sides were already enthusiastic, and the huge shouts were wave after wave, and the earth shook!
After more than 30 rounds, the two sides are still deadlocked. Ma Jin suddenly turned his horse's head and fled backwards. Seeing this, Daxter was greatly excited, and rode in hot pursuit, shouting as he pursued, "Don't run!" Ma Jin ignored him and ran wildly.
Good, who was watching the battle from the rear, laughed, and the soldiers were all excited. Mo Haotian hurriedly said to Gude: "Generalissimo, be careful of deception!" Goode didn't understand and asked, "What deception?" ”
Mo Haotian was about to speak, and the Shinra soldiers who were originally cheering suddenly let out an exclamation. Goode felt that something was wrong, and quickly looked ahead, and saw that Daxter's horse had fallen to the ground, and Daxter had fallen to the ground. Didn't Daxter chase Ma Jin just now? Why did Dust's war horse suddenly fall? It turned out that Ma Jin just now was just a trick used by the Eastern generals to escape, and when the opponent was excited to come and neglect to take precautions, he suddenly turned around and shot with a bow and arrow! This arrow went towards Daxter's war horse, Daxter didn't expect it at all, and when he reacted, the war horse had already been hit by the arrow and fell forward! He was so shocked that he was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground!
Ma Jin immediately ran towards Daxter. Daxter hurriedly drew his sword and counterattacked, but in a hurry, he was able to resist the fierce attack of his opponent! I saw Ma Jin rushing to the other party, and the horse lance in his hand smashed down with the power of thunder, and smashed heavily on Dust's sword! This saber is mostly a decorative item in the Western army, and it is a light weapon, plus when caught off guard, how to resist the full force of the horse lance of the heavy weapon! Only a loud snap was heard, and Daxter only felt a strong attack coming, his arm was thrown out violently, and he couldn't hold the saber, and the saber flew out of his hand, and at the same time, the whole person stood unsteadily, and the two strong retreated.
Ma Jin took advantage of this opportunity, leaned over, and grabbed Daxter on the war horse and placed it horizontally on the saddle in front of him. Daxter struggled violently in shock. Ma Jin punched him in the back of the head, and Dastyen was gone.
Ma Jin caught Daxter, and immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the mountain.
Gude came back to his senses, couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and immediately ordered the army to attack the mountain.
Drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and tens of thousands of Shinra armies swept towards the Widow's Mountain like a tidal wave.
Ma Jin rushed back to the mountain with the captives, and the soldiers cheered. Xingfang strode in front of Ma Jin, glanced at the prisoner he had captured, and laughed, "Good job!" As soon as he made a move, he took one of the opponent's generals! Then he ordered the captives to be tied up and brought down, and then ordered the armies to prepare for battle.
The HRE army roamed the mountains towards the mountains, and at the same time, catapults continued to throw stones and canisters of fire oil into the mountains. Stones and oil canisters rained down, and the soldiers of the Ming Army continued to be recruited.
The HRE army poured halfway up the mountain. At this moment, the arrows on the mountain suddenly fell like locusts, the dense rain of arrows whirred, and the HRE soldiers who were rushing towards the mountain fell one after another, as if countless ripples were stirred up in the turbulent tide, and the impact momentum of the HRE army paused fiercely. But then the HRE army surged towards the mountain again.
A group of brave Shinra soldiers rushed into the position of the Ming army, and the Modao army immediately met it, and the two sides immediately started a bloody battle. Long knives and axes come and go, the click of cutting the armor and flesh is endless, and blood is flying all over the sky; The soldiers on both sides roared like wild beasts, their eyes were red, and even if they were seriously injured, they still fought endlessly, and the battle was very tragic! A Ming soldier and a Shinra soldier scuffled together and rolled to the ground, both pinching each other's necks and trying to strangle each other! As a result, the two of them didn't move at the same time, and they actually strangled each other to death!
Seeing the fierce attack of the enemy, the line immediately ordered the powder keg to be ignited and rolled down the hillside. One by one, the powder kegs dragged the flaming fuses from the mountains and rushed straight into the HRE soldiers! Immediately, fireballs and violent explosions rose up in the crowd, and human stumps flew all over the sky!
The army of the HRE suffered heavy losses after such an attack, and the momentum of the attack inevitably weakened a lot. Xingfang took this opportunity to personally lead the cavalry to rush down, like a flash flood, and it was unstoppable! Rushing straight into the army of the HRE, the army of horses and thousands of troops is unstoppable! The HRE army also tried to resist, but where could they resist, they were swept and rolled all over the ground by the Ming war horse! And the Daming infantry army followed the cavalry and rushed down, frantically counterattacking the Shenluo army! The HRE army could no longer resist the defeat and retreated, and suffered heavy casualties under the drowning of the Ming war cavalry.
Goode was shocked and immediately ordered the cavalry to intercept the enemy. The 20,000 warriors of the Shinra immediately outflanked the Ming army from the left and right flanks.
Xing Fang was able to kill, and did not watch out for the cavalry that the opponent outflanked from both flanks, but was intercepted by the opponent and surrounded by thousands of troops.
The fierce general Gomez and others led their soldiers and horses to rush head-on, and those HRE troops who were repelled by the Ming army also turned around one after another, and followed Gomez to attack the Ming army. All of a sudden, the cavalry led by Yukata fell into the vast sea of the HRE army. The line found that the situation was not good, and immediately led the army to break through, but the left and right rushed to break through! Seeing the rain of arrows all over the sky, the soldiers surging, and the more and more casualties of the Ming army, the situation can be said to be extremely critical!
At this moment, the main force of the Eighth Army led by Ma Jin finally fought desperately, opened a bloody road, and came in to join them. Immediately, the two sides joined forces to break through in the direction of Widow's Mountain!
When the HRE army saw that the boiled duck was about to fly, how could they give up, and the whole army stormed. The Ming army fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the Widow's Mountain, but a 2,000-strong infantry army was trapped in the enemy's encirclement and could not get out. Xingfang was unwilling to give up those siblings, and immediately led the soldiers who had just broken out of the encirclement to fight again. After a bloody battle, the Xingfang finally saved hundreds of besieged soldiers, and the rest were already killed.
The Ming army retreated to the mountains. The HRE army was also exhausted, did not attack again, and temporarily retreated. On the slope of the Widow's Mountain, under the slope of the mountain, I saw corpses all over the field, ten thousand feathers into a forest, and a tragic scene under the reflection of the sunset!
The barracks of the Ming army were full of wounded soldiers, and the limited number of medical officers were almost too busy to run back and forth without touching the ground. The same was true in the camp of the Crusaders, where countless wounded soldiers were shocked, the medical officers were busy, and the priests of the army were praying for each wounded soldier. The morale of the Crusaders was inevitably bruised, and they no longer had the momentum they had before.
Goode walked around the barracks, his brows furrowed tightly, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "I have experienced countless battles, but I have never encountered such a tragic battle!" The generals around him couldn't help but feel the same way, and their expressions were a little solemn, they didn't know how many people would not be able to return to their hometowns if this battle was fought. Fighting with the opponent of the Great Ming Warrior, although it is the glory of the warrior, is also a very terrible thing!
Xingfang made his rounds around the barracks and came to the tent of the horse. Ma Jin was shirtless and asked the medical officer to wrap his wounds. I saw that his upper body was wrapped in bandages, and there was blood on his chest and left shoulder, and it seemed that the injury was not light. In a vicious battle just now, Ma Jin was hit by two arrows and a shot and a sword among thousands of troops, if it weren't for the protection of the Xuantian battle armor, I am afraid that this life would be gone.
When Ma Jin saw Xingfang coming in, he should get up and salute. Xingfang hurriedly held him down and shouted, "Don't move!" Ma Jin smiled heartily and didn't get up.
Xingfang sat down opposite Ma Jin, glanced at Ma Jin, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you still look like a vigorous tiger, it seems that it doesn't matter if you are injured." Ma Jin said indifferently: "A little flesh injury, it's not a big deal!" Then he said worriedly: "General, the enemy is much stronger than we thought, and it may not be easy to defend until the general arrives!" Xingfang said categorically: "No matter what, we will hold out until the general arrives!" Otherwise, the situation on the battlefield will be very unfavorable for us! ”
Ma Jin frowned and nodded, glanced at Xingfang, and said with some concern: "It's okay for us to talk here." Whether it is a soldier or a general, everyone is willing to die on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to say! But those Tianzhu people are difficult to say, I am afraid that they will be defeated if they can't resist the onslaught of the enemy! ”
Xingfang said: "Probably not." The crusaders are really powerful in these Shinra armies, although the other armies can also be said to be fierce, but there is no way to compare with the Shinra army, and they are all patched together by multiple armies, so the situation must be uneven, just a rabble. No matter how bad the Tianzhu people are, it should be no problem to resist the attack of these rabble! Ma Jin felt that the general had a point and nodded.
After a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were very tired, and everyone fell asleep except for the necessary vigilance soldiers. The medical officers, who had been busy for several hours, did not bother to go back to their tents to rest, and fell asleep on the grass lying on the grass with bandages and medicinal herbs in their hands.
Dada...... The sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the silence of the night. The sentry looked in the direction from which the sound came, and then in the faint moonlight, he faintly saw a knight speeding from the north.
After a while, the knight galloped to the front of the checkpoint at the bottom of the mountain, reined in his horse, and raised his token and shouted, "I have an urgent military situation to see the general!" As soon as Xingfang fell asleep, he was woken up by his own soldiers, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed. sat up and shouted angrily: "What the hell, you want Lao Tzu's life?" ”
The pro-soldier hurriedly said: "There is an emergency military situation." ”
Xingfang frowned, "What emergency military situation?" The soldier immediately raised his voice outside, "Come in!" The scout who was waiting outside the big tent immediately rushed into the big tent, and when he saw the line, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "General, I came from the north, and the Tianzhu army in the north all escaped at noon yesterday!" ”
As soon as the appearance of the line changed, Huo suddenly rose up and shouted; "What did you say?" The scout repeated again.
Xingfang was greatly annoyed, paced up in the big tent, and scolded angrily: "These useless Brahmans! Waste, garbage! "The Brahman is the Tianzhu people, and the Chinese of this era call the Indians Tianzhu people or Brahmans.
Xingfang walked to the map, looked at the Widow's Mountain, and then moved to the big arrow in the north, which originally represented the Tianzhu Army, frowned and muttered: "The Northern Tianzhu Army has run away, and the northern flank of our army has been exposed." Damn it! Then he said to his soldiers: "Quickly call Ma Jin to me!" The soldier answered and ran down, and after a few moments he led the horse over.
When Ma Jin saw Si Xingfang, he immediately clenched his fists and asked, "General, is there something urgent?" Xingfang said angrily: "Just now the scout came to report that our Tianzhu army in the north suddenly ran away!" Ma Jin was startled, "Ran away!?" Xingfang nodded, and couldn't help but scold: "These bastards! Fucking don't even guard their hometown, it's better to feed Wang Ba! ”
Ma Jin frowned and said: "General, if they run, our situation will be even worse!" The enemy army on the northern front will inevitably drive straight in, and if they copy our back road, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Xingfang said: "I called you here to ask you, what should we do now?" Ma Jin said: "Things have developed to this point, we can't hold on here, we must retreat immediately!" Otherwise, you are in danger of being surrounded by enemy troops! The priest nodded, and prepared to give the order.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, followed by a burst of human voices. Xingfang was annoyed, and when he heard the movement outside, he immediately shouted: "What's going on outside? ”
As soon as the voice fell, a personal soldier rushed in with a scout who was in the dust. The pro-soldier reported: "General, the scout has an urgent military intelligence report!" The scout who followed him immediately stepped forward and reported urgently: "General, I am from the south, the Tianzhu army on the southern front suddenly escaped from the battle yesterday, and now the crusaders have occupied the original position of the Tianzhu army and continue to advance west!" ”
Xingfang He Ma Jin's face changed. Ma Jin frowned and said, "The Tianzhu people in the south also ran away!?" Xingfang scolded: "These soft eggs shot by donkeys and cows, fuck! There is no one with seeds at all! Ma Jin hurriedly said: "The Tianzhu army in the south has also run away, our army is completely isolated, and the situation is already extremely critical!" General, retreat! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
