285 Cheers of Korean volunteers

In fact, Jianyu has long been on guard against being attacked by North Korean volunteers. After all, they're not stupid, why did you dig so many holes back and forth?

It's just that they didn't expect that in the past, the North Korean volunteers would only attack a small number of Dajin soldiers who went out to grab grain, but this time they were so bold that even the grain transport army dared to attack.

Seeing thousands of Korean volunteers coming out, the leader of Jianyu laughed fiercely. Even this tattered army dares to come to the idea of transporting grain, I really don't know how many catties and taels I have!

As soon as he gave the order, the four hundred Jianjiao, mainly the Jurchen Tartars, who were originally on guard, immediately formed a team to meet the Korean volunteers who emerged from the ravine. Their army was well-groomed, and the heavy armor, sword and shield men, and archers were all well arranged.

As soon as those Korean volunteers saw that Jianyu was so powerful, they immediately threw a burst of bows and arrows or something, and without even touching it, they turned around and fled.

As soon as the leader of the Jianyu saw it, he immediately ordered the pursuit, this road was dug so disgustingly, it was not okay for food to be delayed on the road, and these Korean volunteers must be arrested to build the road.

When this order was passed, the 400 prisoners in a strict formation began to detach, including the team guarding the food, and another 200 people were divided to outflank and capture the Korean volunteers.

In this way, the North Korean volunteers ran in front of them, and the Jianyu chased after them, and slowly, no one laughed at anyone, and they all ran away.

Those Jianyu were chasing after them vigorously, and suddenly, they were faced with a rain of arrows, and they suddenly shot more than 20 of them, and then they were surprised to find that groups of Ming troops actually surrounded them in groups. And the number of them is also beyond their imagination.

Cold weapon combat, when one side runs away into a mess, and the other side attacks in formation, relying on personal martial arts alone, as long as it is not a god descending to earth, basically the defeat is decided.

This time, Lu Xiangsheng did not fight in person, but only ordered Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi, who came with him, to lead the team to attack. Accompanied by Wei Mulan, he watched the battle coldly on a small hill.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but turn his head to Wei Mulan and sighed: "The essence of guerrilla warfare that Your Majesty said really amazes this official. Forming an absolute superiority locally, even if Jianyu is strong, our army can still win a big victory! ”

"Hehe, Zhongcheng, do you want me to convey these words of praise to Your Majesty?" Wei Mulan smiled, and she was also in a good mood when she saw the victory.

She actually doesn't know how to fight, otherwise she would definitely point out that there is another premise that Lu Xiangsheng said, that is, although our army's training and equipment may not be as good as that of Jianyu, it must listen to the command and be willing to fight.

If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng, the Ming army in Dongjiang would also be scattered, and it was not much better than the Korean volunteers. Even if you want to ambush Jianyu, I'm afraid you won't get much success.

But with Lu Xiangsheng, after his rectification, the Dongjiang Ming Army was different. He reorganized more than 5,000 soldiers from more than 20,000 troops, and this time he personally brought out 2,000 of the most elite soldiers. Although he was untrained, he had all the basic combat skills, and they all obeyed his command, and the soldiers admired him and dared to use their lives, so it was naturally possible to fight this kind of war.

The army led by Lu Xiangsheng, if it conducts regular combat with Jianyu, the disadvantage is still obvious, and it will not become a strong army in just half a month or so because of his appearance. A strong army that has not been trained rigorously may be chaotic after being captured by a few tactical moves. It is not so easy to order a forbidden army.

Lu Xiangsheng knew these things, but there was no need to say them, he just smiled at Wei Mulan's words, and then turned his head to look at the battlefield.

The battle was almost one-sided, several Ming troops dealt with a Jianlu, long and short weapons stretched out, even if Jianguo could fight again, it was useless, and his life was harvested. This is true everywhere, everywhere. It didn't take long for ordinary people to imagine that nearly six hundred Jianjiao, including the Jurchen Tartars, except for the nearly fifty or sixty who were finally surrounded in a circle, were easily solved. This level of relaxation not only made the Korean volunteers feel incredible, but even the Dongjiang Ming soldiers themselves were a little surprised.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng instructed Lu Da who was standing on the side: "Go, pack them all up, and then go to deal with the remaining grain carts." ”

"Yes, sir!" Lu Da hugged his fists and agreed, and then made a move back, and more than 50 people came out of Lu Xiangsheng's personal guard camp. In the hands of these people, each of them held a crossbow, and under the leadership of Lu Da, they walked towards the remaining Jianyu in a circle.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at them and sighed to Wei Mulan: "It's a pity, there is a shortage of materials on this side of the Dongjiang River, and the time is short, so I only built these fifty or so powerful crossbows, or it would be much easier if there was no war." ”

In the original history, when Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Zhulu to suppress the thieves, he built a large number of crossbows and killed the thieves' cavalry, thus greatly reducing the power of the thieves. It can be said that half of Lu Xiangsheng's prestige is based on this crossbow.

The besieged captives have already formed a formation, facing the outside and struggling to the death, extremely fierce, whether it is the Korean volunteers or the Dongjiang Ming army, if they dare to attack it, they will definitely be killed.

But suddenly, a group of Ming troops around suddenly scattered on both sides. These Jianjiao thought that the Ming army was preparing to surrender them, and when they were about to scold, they saw that on the mouth of the Ming army that was scattered, several new rows of Ming troops appeared, and each person held a strong crossbow in his hand, which seemed to be the kind that he stepped on, and the sharp arrows were aimed at them, even if these Jianjiao were brave, they were suddenly frightened. At such a close distance, no matter how much armor you wear, you can't stop this powerful crossbow.

Some of the Jianlu, who were still extremely fierce just now, suddenly threw away their blades and knelt down, shouting for mercy, while some Jianlu were crazy and tried to rush over.

Without any hesitation, Lu Da gave an order, several rows of crossbows fired a volley, and suddenly heard the sound of "poof", these Jianyu, who were fierce and powerful just now, suddenly lay on the ground, and many people were penetrated by the crossbows, and they did not die for a while, but still squirmed and struggled on the ground. There were also Jianyu who were strung together by the crossbow, and the two fell together.

Such a scene, not only those Korean volunteers, but even the Dongjiang Ming army were cold in the back. Then when those Dongjiang Ming soldiers looked at the crossbow in the hands of the soldiers of the Zhongcheng Standard Battalion, their eyes lit up.

About half an hour later, the Korean volunteers and the Dongjiang Ming army reappeared around the grain transport team, and the number of them was so large that the rest of the prisoners were afraid. When Lu Da led more than fifty standard battalion crossbowmen to open the way, and after firing a few rounds of crossbows, there was no suspense.

Under the cleaning of the Korean volunteers, it didn't take much time for the battlefield to be clean. When Lu Xiangsheng allocated one-third of the grain to these North Korean volunteers, thunderous cheers resounded on the road: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!" ”
