Chapter 1274. The general trend is gone
"Your Excellency!"
was blocked back, more than a dozen personal soldiers with the Dingjun sword, and anxiously returned to the Chinese army, and when they saw Li Ji, they knelt down and saluted in shame.
Li Ji's gaze was no longer on them, his eyes were full of the raging fire in the north, and the firelight jumped and rippled in his slightly yellowed eyes, muttering in disbelief.
"How is this possible? Where did the Romans find so many cavalry! Even with the addition of the Bolgars, it is not enough! ”
But in the end, it was Li Ji, the matter had come to this, it was useless to think about it, and after being shocked for a moment, he jumped up like an old madman, grabbed the collar of his own soldiers and shouted loudly: "Immediately beat the drum, wake up all the troops, you few, immediately pass on the order, and order all the armies to assemble their teams and defend on the spot!" Kill those who wander around and scream! ”
"There are also various camps where the doors are closed, even if the old man goes, he can't open the door! Go now! Go on! ”
was so shaken by Li Ji's roar that he was stunned for a moment, and then more than a dozen personal soldiers threw the Dingjun sword, scattered in a hurry, and ran around the entire military camp.
After sending away the heralds, Li Ji quickly climbed the arrow tower of the Chinese army and looked at the battlefield.
In the north, starting from the left prison guard, the position of the 36th army of almost 50,000 troops has been completely chaotic, and unknown cavalry is everywhere killing people and setting fires, and these barbarian cavalry still have the purpose of driving the defeated Arabs or the defeated Fujian army to run around, and some of the originally intact camps have also been broken through.
Moreover, among the defeated soldiers who attacked the Chinese army, there were still many exhausted Roman legions, and it seems that the army of Fang Yi's love is also finished!
No wonder Constantine IV wanted to provoke the Great Min, he had already left a hand at all, and wanted to attract all the main forces of the Great Min to Europe, so that the war could be resolved!!
His mind was spinning rapidly, and Li Ji quickly ordered: "Turn the left Xiaowei to block the gap in the east!" There are also Jinchuan Mansion, Yinchuan Mansion, resist the northwest direction! No one can let it go! Defend the Chinese army! ”
In Li Ji's drinking order, more than 2,000 soldiers from the prefecture were hurriedly called up, carrying long lances, and firmly set up a battle formation in the necessary place of the large camp in the northwest direction, the heavy shield hand was nervously holding the tower shield, the crossbowman's palm holding the crossbow machine was already full of sweat, and the two commanders were still shouting.
"You must resist the formation, no one can let go, the chief has an order, those who break into the barracks will be killed!"
But the shouting had not stopped, and suddenly some government soldiers shouted in horror: "It's someone from Linchuan Mansion!" My lord, I know that man, he is our neighbor! ”
In the chaotic firelight, in the frantic pursuit and slashing of the barbarian cavalry, the faces that fled sweating one by one were not all Han faces!!
The two commanders of Zhichong all hesitated, if in the Central Plains, the Han people fought each other in the internal hegemony war, and the white bones were not touched at all, but they followed Li Jie to settle down in this foreign country and create a new Chinese civilization.
Especially the imperial court led by Li Jie, it has been a voice for so many years, the Damin family! The Tang people also became quite united internally, and they could destroy the entire city without hesitation under military orders, and kill the neighbors, relatives and friends of the village party, but they were really embarrassed.
In such hesitation, the rebels finally rushed to the front of the formation, the shield man turned his back, the crossbowman tried to raise his hand and shoot back, the lanceman gritted his teeth and stabbed out his spear, and at the same time shouted with all his might: "Run in both directions!"
The inexplicable enemy chasing behind them rushed behind them, and the powerful bows and arrows in their hands were also suppressed, and a gloomy cold light shot out fiercely at the heads of the Fujian troops who were fighting in array......
Standing on the arrow tower of the Chinese army, seeing that the two resisting armies he had arranged were losing and retreating, and the rest of the entrances were also broken one after another, Lao Li Ji was surprisingly calm at this time, staring at the attacking army, constantly thinking.
This is by no means the Bolgars, the cavalry of the Bolgars he has fought several times, although in the Romans the other side is still a barbarian race, in fact, the Bolgars have begun to settle and live the life of an agrarian people, they have conquered the local Slavs who have been somewhat Hellenistic, and also began Hellenization, and even many Bolgars converted to Christianity, although their cavalry is strong, but more or less with some civilized taste.
But the cavalry in front of him made Li Ji smell the wolf! They did not fight in a big battle, but like wolves hunting, they drove their prey from behind, and used the Min army itself to defeat the Min army.
There is no sense of honor, cruel, cruel, vicious, poorly equipped, fierce, this series of titles, even more primitive and cruel than the Turks who fought against the Tang Dynasty back then, many enemies in his mind were eliminated one by one, and finally Li Ji seemed to have only seen an army in the history books against the cavalry in front of him.
Huns!
Only this army, which is as brutal as a wolf and as cunning as a fox, seems to be comparable to the cavalry that is now advancing viciously in the camp of the Min army.
A few dull angry cannons sounded in the east, and the defenders of Constantinople actually rushed out of the ruins of the city and launched an attack in the east of the Fujian army.
The Chinese army also began to fall into chaos, and the cavalry who rushed in began to set fire to the tents one by one, driving out the Min troops who were still in a daze, and trampling them to death with their war horses, and the raging fires spread all the way along the strong wind that blew the ocean from the mainland at night.
In the night, the command system of the Fujian army that was suddenly attacked was completely chaotic, the soldiers could not find the generals, the soldiers could not find the soldiers, and the chaotic camp not only did not protect the Great Min, but gave these unrestrained robbers space to cover, Li Ji was a ruthless man who was killed from the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he was far more decisive than the eldest grandson, Li Ji walked downstairs directly with a gloomy face, and immediately loudly ordered the soldiers next to him to convey his orders to the legion.
"Defend the Chinese army with the left Xiao, and the rest of the army will all retreat to the sea!"
This order is equivalent to abandoning all the seventy or eighty thousand troops that have been trampled by the enemy, and gathering the remaining troops to defend them, if other generals, such as Fang Yuai, hesitate again and again at this time, but lose the overall situation, and only Li Ji has such a poisonous snake biting his hand, and the determination of the strong man to break his wrist, he would rather abandon a small half of the army to protect the other section.
With Li Ji's banner, waking up from his sleep, the panicked Min army abandoned the baggage, burning camp at a faster speed, and retreated to the icy sea with only his personal weapons.
However, here Li Ji is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory, the shore was first dug by the Romans to dig a complete trench defense base, after Li Yexu forced landing, and here to improve, now, Damin is the second time to rely on this fortification defense.
In less than half an hour, the left and right Qianniu guards gathered here had just completed the formation, and the remaining Nantianzhu soldiers were still nervously assembled in the chaos, and countless black barbarian cavalry were chasing tens of thousands of defeated soldiers from the southern camp to kill, driving the defeated soldiers, these gloomy riders were mixed in it, wanting to push across the last defense of the Great Min again, as they had just done, and completely rush the Min army into the sea to feed the fish.
However, this time, these barbarian cavalry miscalculated, rushed to the front of the fortifications, and the well-trained Min army quickly rubbed the edge of the fortifications according to the previous training and went down the trench, and then quickly broke and fled towards both sides of the trench, and the barbarian raiders mixed in the defeated army did not know the complexity of the Fujian army's trench at all, and many people jumped over the trench on horseback, and were pierced by the sharp barbs behind the trench.
About two pillars of incense time, the dumpling-like defeated soldiers of the Fujian army basically ran away, revealing the gloomy cavalry behind the head, the Fujian crossbowmen who had already held their stomachs immediately strode forward, the heavy military steel crossbow shot against the shoulder, and for a time it was an unprecedented high efficiency, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows formed a dense rain of arrows, so that the unknown sneak attackers who were caught off guard also fell off their horses like dumplings, and were hit head-on.
There were also some sneak attackers mixed in with the defeated soldiers, and at this time, listening to the cavalry who had just chased and killed them overhead, the panicked Min army finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The coincidence of things is nothing more than this, if it were in peacetime, the Fujian army would not have been defeated so badly when it was attacked, and it would not have been like this on that day, just to catch up with the bloody siege of the city after a week in a row, and today there is a major breakthrough, the whole army celebrates, the most relaxed day after drinking.
Whether it is the Tianzhu people, the Persians, or the Tang people, and these sneak attackers are quite different in appearance and dress, just woke up from their sleep, the tent was on fire, the Min army fled in panic, let them follow the troubled waters to fish OK, at this time the Min people relieved, these spies were all exposed at once, under that resentment, almost more than 100 people beat a person, more than 100 like the assassins of Changsun Dezhen, the same as the assassin of several assassins of the alien race were all beaten to death, and some even the corpses were blurred with flesh and blood, Still being beaten.
It wasn't until the captains urged the sergeants to return to the team that the relieved defeated soldiers angrily threw away the broken corpses and pushed them from the passage behind the trench to the beach to sort out the ranks.
The Fujian army fled too quickly, many defeated soldiers even lost their weapons, the tiger squat cannon and the general's cannon were all lost in the camp, fortunately, the Fujian army cherished the gunpowder keep, calculated how much was used every day, and how much was transported down from the ship, and the composition of the gunpowder of the Fujian army was complex, in order to enhance the explosive power, the scientific research Taoist priest added a lot of ingredients under the leadership of Li Feisheng, the first chemist of the Great Min, and the remaining small amount of gunpowder was not afraid of his Roman cracking.
At this time, a game was finally pulled back, and the sailors behind him also moved over under the communication of the army, and on the Damin water platform specially used for long-distance shooting, dozens of black cannons were aimed at the night attack cavalry on the shore that was more than black pressure in the night, and Lao Li Ji almost gritted his teeth and ordered the Min army to prepare to counterattack.
However, at this time, a huge explosion sounded in the southwest direction, and along the vacancy in the bay, Li Ji could see a Ming battleship burning into a raging fire without even using a telescope, and the explosive gunpowder warehouse blew up half of the shipbuilding.
Behind the firelight, the shadowy shadow of the ship was as eerie as a ghost in the dark night, and a double-headed golden eagle flag shimmered with dazzling golden light in the reflection of the firelight.
"It's the Romans' navy!"
Zhang Hu, the captain of the personal guard, just shouted in horror, suddenly heard a pop behind him, and turned his head in shock, but saw Li Ji spurting out a mouthful of blood, and his face immediately turned lead gray.
"The general trend is gone!"
