(0740) However, the road to Yangguanbao was so big that the Mongols resolutely refused to give way, and the Dajin army had no choice but to follow behind the Mongols' ass. Because you chased after me, surrounded and intercepted, the two sides almost clashed again. Fortunately, by this time, they had already approached the artillery blockade line of the White Army.

The artillery fire of the white-clothed army was very ferocious, like a starving Grim Reaper, constantly devouring all the lives in the vicinity. Both the Dajin Army and the Mongols paid a heavy price when they passed through this Grim Reaper blockade. The respective losses of both sides were at least more than two thousand people. Centurion, Niu Lu Zhangjing and the like, more than a dozen died.

When the remnants of the Dajin Army and the Mongols successfully passed through the artillery blockade, everyone felt that they were in danger of surviving. When they look back, they will find that behind them, there are corpses that have been blown to pieces everywhere, and they don't know whether they belong to the Dajin army or the Mongols. Some of the corpses were ravaged back and forth by artillery fire, and they had long since become fragments of fragments. However, the artillery fire of the white-clothed army never stopped.

"Damn the whites!" Kongol cursed stupidly.

"Damn the Mongols, they must have lied!" Tabai cursed in a huff.

Kongol cursed the artillery fire of the white-clothed army, which was too fierce and caused them too many casualties. But it was the Mongols who were cursed by Tabai. He deeply suspected that that Igduzi must have delivered the wrong message. What Mongols have already killed in Yangguan Fort is simply fake! If the Mongols really entered the Yangguan Fort and fought with the white-clothed army at close range, where would the white-clothed army have a chance to continue firing artillery? It's all the damned Mongols!

The only good thing is that after the baptism of artillery fire from the white-clothed army, the road ahead is suddenly relaxed, and there is no need for conflict. The Mongols were in the east, the Dajin army was in the west, and the two sides were advancing in unison. For the sharp firearms in Yangguan Fort, the Dajin Army and the Mongols both accelerated their speed and continued to pounce on Yangguan Fort.

...... "Nurhachi's courage is not small! Even the positive yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag were dispatched! This time, this old boy is definitely going to be in a lot of pain! Before, I was really worried that they wouldn't show up at all! Liu Chuang said excitedly.

Due to the mortar's fire, it is difficult to see behind the fire, even with a telescope. Therefore, it is only now that the white-clothed army has seen the emergence of the elite of the Dajin army. I have to say that the appearance of the positive yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag is indeed a little accident. This time, Nurhachi really smashed all the belongings of Dajin Kingdom.

"That's a good thing." Xu Xingxia said calmly. At this time, he had already put down the iron-tired bow in his hand and picked up the telescope again. The effect he needs to create has been achieved, so there is no need to continue acting. To be honest, he, the chairman of the Supreme People's Committee, personally fired arrows on the front line, and Liu Chuang and others were so worried that they resolutely dragged him to the back.

The appearance of the Dajin Army with yellow flags and yellow flags made the battlefield of Yangguanbao even more white-hot. In front of them, there were two Mongol teams of 10,000 men, who were launching the most fierce attack on the white-clothed army, and the sound of guns continued. In some places, the Mongols and the white-clothed army fought repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties. As far as the eye can see, all around the walls of Yangguan Fort are densely packed with layers of corpses. There are Mongols, and there are white-clothed soldiers.

In the trenches of the white-clothed army, there were also quite a few corpses of Mongols. Some of the soldiers of the white-clothed army, stepping directly on the corpses of the Mongols, kept shooting. The whole trench was covered with blood. These corpses were all Mongols who came at a gallop, and after being killed by bullets, they flew directly into the trenches of the white-clothed army under the effect of their habitual surnames.

The speed of the Mongol cavalry was too fast, and the habitual surname was very large, and if it was killed, it would be several kilometers away from each other. If it's a human corpse, it's okay, even if it is hit, it can barely withstand it, and it won't be seriously injured. However, if it is the corpse of a war horse, then it is a tragedy. Hundreds of catties, or even thousands of catties of war horses, smashed at you at high speed, granite can't stop it. Some of the soldiers in white were killed alive in this way.

Blood was flowing everywhere, and all the ground was red. In some places, when you step on it, bubbles keep popping up, and even the bubbles are dark red. This is because the dirt absorbs too much blood. Walking in a trench is like walking in a muddy pond, and it is difficult to pull out your feet. If you are not careful, you will fall into the blood.

Mao Wenlong, Kong Youde, Liu Xingzhi and others were wounded in the battle long ago and were carried to the back for medical treatment. Mao Wenlong was injured alive by the Mongol war horse, and it is said that at least three ribs were broken, and all the internal organs were also misplaced. Kong Youde was the worst, he was crushed in the trench by the war horse, he almost couldn't get out, and he almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, he was discovered, and he struggled to remove the corpse of the war horse before pulling him out.

Liu Xingzhi's left eye was shot by a Mongolian arrow, and the arrow pierced out from behind, and the injury was very serious. Even Yun Qifeng, who was in the mortar position, was shot in the thigh by an arrow and had to sit on the ground to direct the shelling. No one knew where the arrow came from, and it hit him so accurately.

"These Mongols are simply crazy." Liu Chuang suddenly frowned and said.

The situation he was referring to was that the reinforcements of the Sanar 10,000 troops had come up from behind, and the fighting enthusiasm was even higher than that of the Mongols before them. They didn't care about their own casualties at all, and they only thought about breaking into the Yangguan Castle. I don't know what kind of thinking this Sanar has instilled into his troops, and he actually behaves so fiercely. They had just entered the battlefield and put strong pressure on the white-clothed army.

Under the attack of the Mongol 10,000 troops commanded by Igduqi, the first line of defense of the white-clothed army was actually crumbling and dying. Most of the walls have been broken by the Mongols. Now, the soldiers of the white-clothed army can only control a few relatively strong commanding heights. For example, the castle tower or something. They took advantage of these commanding heights to constantly throw grenades and give the Mongol cavalry powerful damage. However, the Mongols' cavalry archers are indeed powerful. Their arrows also caused great casualties to the white-clothed army.

Fortunately, the second line of defense of the white-clothed army is still relatively strong. The enemy attacking Yangguan Fort was reduced in number after the first kill of the mortar. When passing through the first line of defense set up by the White Army, they encountered strong casualties, and their numbers were reduced again. By the time they reached the second line of defense of the White Army, their forces had shrunk considerably, and their attack capabilities were not so strong. If it weren't for this, the White Army would have been defeated long ago.

However, as the combat effectiveness of the first line of defense of the White Army became weaker and weaker, and the damage caused to the Mongolian cavalry became smaller and smaller, the number of Mongolian cavalry who broke through the first line of defense and successfully reached the second line of defense was increasing. This means that the pressure on the second line of defense of the white army will be increasing. If there are no reinforcements, the second line of defense is estimated to not last long. The strength of the white-clothed army is still too small.

Liu Chuang wiped the sweat and dust from his forehead, and his two big eyes kept turning, as if he was measuring something. After a while, he said unwillingly: "My lord, let's let Zhang Yi and them come up, relying solely on the chasers, they can't stop it." ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Are you sure that you really can't stop it?" ”

Liu Chuang said helplessly and bitterly: "Yes, it can't be stopped, the number of chasers is too small." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and didn't say anything. This Liu Chuang, who wants to save face, has always insisted on not letting the vulture cavalry interfere in the battle of Yangguan Fort, and wants to make the chasers a blockbuster and eat a big solo meal. Now, Nurhachi is furious, and even the yellow flag and the yellow flag are dispatched. The chasers couldn't stop it, so he had to give in.

In fact, the strength of the chasers is indeed too small. When the battle is full, it is only 1,500 people, and some casualties have to be deducted. It is estimated that there is still combat effectiveness, which is about 1,000 people. On Nurhachi's side, the army is unprecedentedly strong. Outside the Yangguan Fort, he concentrated at least 40,000 cavalry. Among them, the Mongolian cavalry was about 20,000 people, and the Dajin army cavalry was about 10,000 people. It's all elite.

Now that Nurhachi has put all his troops at the bottom of the box, there is no need for Xu Xingxia to hide his secrets. Now in the battle, even if Nurhachi wants to withdraw his troops, he is afraid that it will be difficult to do so. The die is cast. He then sent people to the docks of Yangguan Fort and ordered the vultures to disembark and land and enter the battle.

In fact, the reinforcements of Yangguan Fort had been anchored at the seaside, but they never went ashore. Liu Chuang's desire to let the chasers eat alone is certainly an important reason. One of the reasons why Xu Xingxia was not ready to send reinforcements into battle for the time being. Because, their appearance will greatly deter Nurhachi. If Nurhachi had learned that a large number of reinforcements had arrived at Yangguan Fort, it was estimated that he would definitely not continue to attack.

But now, the battlefield has actually undergone a dramatic change, and all the Mongols and Dajin troops have actually thrown themselves into the battlefield and flocked to Yangguan Fort. Such a result was indeed something Xu Xingxia didn't expect, but it just happened to be in line with his original design. In this battle, there were several changes in the middle, peaks and loops, big ups and downs, and finally it developed in the direction of favoring the white-clothed army.

The one moored at sea was actually the unit of the Eagle Cavalry, and the commander was Zhang Yi. If Xu Xingxia said that Zhang Yi's arrival and the battle with Yangguanbao actually had nothing to do with it, Nurhachi would definitely vomit blood and die. But, in fact, the arrival of the Vulture Cavalry was really not to reinforce Yangguan Fort. They were just temporarily arrested by Xu Xingxia and used them.

Xu Xingxia's original estimate was that after Nurhachi suffered a loss in Yangguan Fort, he would quickly retreat. In the next battle, it is estimated that the Dajin Army will also adopt the method of fighting with the white-clothed army. In this way, the white-clothed army can only dispatch stragglers like the vulture cavalry to entangle with the other party. So, Zhang Yi took the vulture cavalry army and appeared near Yangguan Fort. Their task was to entangle with the Dajin Army sporadically after the battle of Yangguanbao. Who would have thought that, by chance, they actually encountered a full-scale attack by the Dajin army and the Mongols.

Originally, the warriors of the Vulture Cavalry were not good at positional warfare. Their training and equipment are not suitable for positional warfare. At this point, though, it's okay anymore. What they have to do is not to shoot, but to throw grenades. This thing, as long as the arm strength is passable, can meet the requirements. The Vulture Cavalry had a total of 3,000 men, which just made up for the lack of strength of the white-clothed army. Their arrival can make the second line of defense of Yangguan Fort stronger and make up for the shortcomings of the first line of defense. At the same time, there is also a part of the troops that acts as a reserve.

In fact, the white-clothed army really has no shortage of troops. The weakness of the troops shown by Yangguan Fort was deliberately done by Xu Xingxia. In addition to the Vulture Cavalry, on the Dengzhou side, there is also the Snow Shame Army that is gathering. At the same time, Xiongqu's army was also marching in the direction of Dengzhou. If necessary, they can also cross the sea at any time to support Yangguan Fort. Xu Xingxia's biggest worry was actually that the white-clothed army had too many troops, which scared Nurhachi and made him change his plan again and not continue to attack Yangguan Fort, which would be a pity.

At present, the strength of the white-clothed army can be concentrated in the southern Liaoning region, with two troops, the Eagle Cavalry Army and the Snow Shame Army, about 11,000 people. Obviously, such a force, if it started a field battle with the Dajin Army and the Mongols, and fought sporadically, it would not have an advantage in troops. Therefore, he still hopes that he can completely consume the living force of the Dajin Kingdom as much as possible in Yangguan Fort, so as to clear the way for future battles.

When Zhang Yi received the order, he let out a big breath and hurriedly disembarked with his troops. They took it on the boat for four or five days, eating, drinking, and lazing on board, and they were simply suffocated. Fighting a war is simply a vacation. He came to Xu Xingxia, stood upright, saluted, and said eagerly: "My lord, you are finally willing to let us get off the boat." ”

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Leave all the guns on the boat, just use grenades." You and Liu Chuang will hand over positions. He threw in the towel and begged you for help. ”

Zhang Yile nodded happily and let the officers carry out the order. After a while, the warriors of the vulture cavalry disembarked in an endless stream. They quickly switched positions with the chasseurs and went into battle. As for the grenades, they were all loaded on ships, and they were carried desperately by themselves. It is estimated that no matter how you throw it, you can't finish throwing it away.

The arrival of the vulture cavalry has greatly enhanced the strength of the white-clothed army in Yangguan Fort. The original white-clothed garrison, with less than 2,000 men, suddenly increased to nearly 5,000 after the arrival of the Vulture Cavalry. However, neither the Mongols nor the Dajin army knew anything about this.
