Chapter 180: Attack on the back

At this time, the army began to talk that if it were not for Juniper's hurry to cross the river, wait for the arrival of other friendly troops one after another, and then join the large formation with the artillery of the baggage battalion, this battle would be much easier.

Of course, such words are just small soldiers' discussions, military attachés at all levels do not dare to say such things, the marshal just drank another round of sprinkling, his eyes were red, and he urged the various departments to take turns to attack the cliff under the cliff, Salhu has already started, Juniper also has hidden worries in his heart, if he can't attack here, he is afraid that there is a danger of being surrounded by the Jurchens.

The crisis has quietly come, but the Ming army did not expect that the Eight Banners had eaten more than 20,000 friendly troops, and the Northern Route Army came the fastest, and it was still not until tomorrow that it could not be put into the battlefield, the Southern Route Army was still walking slowly on the rugged road outside Qinghe Fort, and the Eastern Route Army was trapped in the more difficult rugged mountain road outside Kuandian Fort, and had to cross many heavy rivers and valley trails along the way, and many places could only be passed by a single person and a single horse.

These are the evolution of the entire battlefield situation, except for the fact that later generations know the whole situation by those who know the course of the war, including those who look at maps and written records, at this time even Juniper is not clear about the complete evolution, but since the shouting and killing on the side of Salhu has fallen silent, the whole army is filled with an uneasy and panicked mood, the baggage is still on the other side of the river, there is no artillery in the army, of course, there is no car formation, and it is attacking the enemy on the back, if the friendly army can't withstand it, this side is naturally more dangerous.

Yang Yi and Zhou Daniu sat at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by thick dead grass, and there were some thin residual snow in the blades of grass that had not melted.

They were panting, their mouths and throats were so dry that it was hard to swallow and spit.

Just now this team and friendly troops were transferred to attack the cliff, at this time they were glad that they were not guns, nor sword and shield hands, the people who were transferred to attack on the back had to climb the difficult rocks, and after the distance was enough, they sent the fire guns upward, and in the process of climbing up and sending away, arrows kept falling, the arrows were bleeding, the wounded soldiers screamed, the dead grass in front of them seemed to be shrinking, and the trees seemed to be full of enemy traces, Yang Yi only knew at this time that his previous experience in fighting was useless, this was not a group fight of dozens or hundreds of people, With courage and blood plus a certain amount of martial arts can be victorious, he followed the fire soldiers to climb up and down, did not make half of the strength, just watched a group of Shaanxi knife players keep climbing up, and then was shot down by a dense rain of arrows, after coming down, these knife players almost everyone was injured, many people were seriously injured by bows and arrows, some people were shot through the legs, some people were shot in the arm, the worst thing is that the abdomen or waist was shot by a strong arrow, the arrow of the iron arrow went deep into the abdomen, or penetrated from the waist chest, such an arrow method has been difficult to survive, The wounded were pale in complexion, and were taken down by their partners or carried by their partners, blood kept dripping from their wounds, and the hard-hearted men moaned low with arrows, their leather or cotton armor was shot through at close range, and there was little protection against Houjin's heavy arrows, and the flat heavy arrows easily tore through the thin armor under the strong force, and pierced directly into the human body, causing huge wounds, and even breaking people's bones, messing up and tearing internal organs, and when people were carried down, they were already dying. Shortly after being carried down to the foot of the mountain, he died quietly.

Bows and arrows, in later generations, were almost children's toys, inconspicuous small sports on the sports field, at this time, these bows and arrows caused serious damage, these heavy arrows can shoot black bears, but also a large number of injuries or deaths.

After attacking upwards for a while, the Ming army killed and wounded hundreds of people, and the fire gun also injured many defenders on the Jilin cliff, the Ming army has the hope of victory, as long as the attack of this intensity is maintained, the Jurchens on the cliff will fight less and less, and sooner or later they will collapse.

The military attachés may have such confidence, for Yang Yi and the others, they just want to rest quietly for a while, recover their strength, and drink a little water so that their fire-like throats can be cooled.

Cheng Fang was hit by an arrow, but fortunately, the strength was not great, the arrow was stuck in the middle of a few iron blades of cotton armor on his chest, the luck was really good, the arrow was half a finger deep into the flesh, did not penetrate, and did not break his ribs, Cheng Fang was pale, and his hands trembled and pulled the arrow out of the iron leaf.

"Fuck it, Lao Tzu will pick up a life...... Cheng Fang's face was very pale, his lips trembled, he looked at the bloody flat heavy arrow arrow, and laughed miserably: "If this arrow is killed, I don't know what to do at home......"

"What the hell are you doing?" Li Mingli said with a disgraced face on the side: "Take the money of the An family, go to this killing field, first treat yourself as dead, go back alive is the life of picking up, your life has already been sold for five taels of silver, the sister-in-law and eldest nephew of the family can welcome you back The best, if you can't meet them, they deserve it, who calls us poor, five taels of silver will sell your own life." ”

"For the sake of five taels of silver, I won't do ......" Cheng Fang said: "Besides, I didn't take all the five taels, and I deducted more than one or two of Lao Tzu, and a few dollars were fake silver." The monthly salary is never paid, and it is delayed for several months. ”

Zhou Daniu said: "My family still has an old lady, I can't die, my mother has been widowed early, it's not easy to drag me out, I want to live to be filial to her for a few more years, my child is still young, and I still eat milk." ”

Yang Yi said to everyone: "Say a few words, and it will be troublesome for the officials to hear it for a while, saying that it is disturbing the morale of the army, and you will be unjustly killed if you are beheaded." ”

Everyone also knows that it is powerful, and they can't say these words on the battlefield, but they are surrounded by brothers with confused expressions, and everyone is thinking about their own affairs, and there are many new recruits and few veterans in Liaozhen, and it is easy to shake the morale of the army when they encounter setbacks.

"Look at those Xuanfu soldiers," Yang Yi said: "People also get the same salary as us, and people work harder, and people don't have fathers, mothers, wives and children, and if they don't destroy Jiannu, everyone will not be able to live." ”

Cheng Fang leaned on the head of a tree root, chewing grass roots in his mouth, he was not convinced, he felt that he took such a little silver, and he had to take care of the food of the family, he was afraid that he would starve to death if he died, and those who were officials above would eat meat and drink wine, such a world of his own little soldier to protect him What he did, if he could easily level Jiannu and grab some things to go back, it would be worth it, he didn't want to fight like this, but Yang Yi's team leader had a high prestige, and he didn't want to argue with Yang Yi in front of everyone.

At this time, the horses in the distance came one after another, and the resting Ming troops all looked forward to it, and many people stood up from sitting to standing, and the generals couldn't help but reprimand.

In fact, the generals were also uneasy in their hearts, the Sarhu side was attacked, and the two battlefields were not far apart, at this time, everyone complained in their hearts that Juniper was rash against the enemy, and the 30,000 people were divided into three groups, weakening their own strength in vain, and they did not go down to conquer Jilin Cliff with a drum, and the current strategic posture was already very sinister.

"The Tartars are mobilizing troops!"

Li Mingli people are very clever, the vision is very lively, everyone is looking at the Tang Horse, he found that not far away on the cliff in the dense forest shadow increased significantly, and these Eight Banners from the original defensive position seems to turn to attack, many wearing gray or cyan arrow robes, or wearing placket cotton armor of the Eight Banners began to go down from the high part of the cliff, the arrows shot quickly and densely, the Ming army that was attacking upwards had been pressed and could not raise their heads, and began to slowly retreat.

"Something's wrong." Yang Yi Huoran got up, knowing that things had changed the most seriously.

At this time, a number of pond horses came, galloping all the way to the place where Juniper was, followed by a group of pond horses, which continued to rush in the direction of the Chinese army.

There have been several batches of Tangma before, and the army knows that Salhu is fighting with Jiannu, and now Tangma has come continuously, even a fool knows that Salhu's side has already made a result.

"Did you win?" Li Mingli said such words in his mouth, and he didn't dare to believe it in his heart.

In the impression of the Ming army, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and last year, the main force of the Liaozhen soldiers who annihilated the pursuing Liao Zhen outside the Fushun Pass also proved the combat power of the field, and there were only about 20,000 people on the side of the valley, if it was the main force of the Eight Banners, it was impossible to defeat the other party in such a short period of time, and no one believed Li Mingli's words.

"What's the matter?"

The pond horses were also in chaos, running in batches, and the chaos was not in shape, and there was a Bai Zong here who grabbed a pond horse, wanting to find out the actual news.

"It's over." Tangma came from Shaanxi, and said with a sad and angry face: "Everyone is dead!" ”

"What," Mr. Bai said angrily, "Tell me more clearly." ”

"General soldiers Zhao and General soldiers Wang are dead, they ordered people to cut off their heads, several guerrilla and garrison adults are dead, more than 20,000 brothers are also dead, there are corpses everywhere, the Tartars are leaving hundreds of people to strip clothes and collect military horses and soldiers, strip armor, cut off heads, we don't dare to look closer, the Tartars keep some elite sentry horses, we will hurry back to report the news when we see it clearly from a distance, don't stop it, my lord, we have to go to report it."

Tang Ma shouted at the top of his voice, and everyone around him felt like they were drenched in a bucket of ice water from head to toe, and their whole bodies were cold.

Yang Yi almost couldn't believe it at first, 20,000 people, even if 20,000 pigs were killed, it would take time and energy, how could he ask people to kill them all at once?

But more than this one Tangma said this, more people came on horseback to report the news, and the people on the other side of Salhu were indeed dead, including the two general soldiers, all of them died, and the army was slaughtered in an hour or so, and the ordnance and war horses were also lost.

Everyone's hearts seemed to be full of stones at once, the weight was too heavy, the stones kept falling, and the whole heart was taken down.
