Chapter 699: Returning to the City with Blood

Yu Dayou was not in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Listen to the army, the artillery and fire guns are all aimed at the fire head, and the Tartars are lit at fifty paces, and the horses are shot flat!" "The Min soldiers obeyed the order. In an instant, the sound of firearms and artillery that had been radiating one after another fell silent, and only the sounding hooves of horses could be heard. After a while, suddenly there was the sound of ping-pong cannons, and more than a thousand people mixed up before and after, and the sound was loud. A row of large and small projectiles, like a coiled subway chain, slashed towards the oncoming Mongol cavalry. Under the projectile blow, the horses that rushed ahead were knocked down one after another. The four of them carried a large log, as long as they rode backwards, it was a leg missing from the table, and under the rush, or overturned, or reversed, there was the one who was skilled in riding, and controlled the horse in time, and the speed slowed down. Some of the horses were shocked by the loud noise and froze, and the momentum of the big wood was slowed down. For a time, the area around Checheng was full of big logs, Mongolian soldiers and war horses. There were also some horses who ran crookedly, but those behind them rushed up, stumbling together in front and back, and they knocked each other down, and the people shouted and neighed, and they became a mess.

However, hundreds of pieces of wood flew over, and no matter how fierce the firepower of Yu Dayou's Fujian soldiers was, it was inevitable that they would be missed. The artillery fire on the east side of the formation was a little weaker, and a group of Mongolian cavalry rushed to the front of the formation without being stopped, and they all threw themselves away, and the pointed big wood flew over like missiles by virtue of inertia. More than a dozen large logs flew over, but a rumbling and rattling sound was heard, and one of the partial box cars was knocked over, and the floor of another car was broken, and the wheel axle was also broken. The Mongol soldiers in the east shouted in unison, so that a gap of several zhang in the car city appeared. The Mongol cavalry, riding their horses and whips, rushed towards the gap.

Although Yan Hong does not know how to use soldiers. But after all, I've watched a lot of movies and television. I know that there must be no chaos at this moment. If one is breached. If the whole line is shaken, and the Mongols continue to break through in many places, then everyone is dead. Fortunately, the place in this car city is not large, the troops are concentrated in it, and the mobile troops are still sufficient. He hurriedly said to Yu Dayou: "General Yu, your people continue to guard the fence, and my people will plug the gap!" Yu Dayou nodded, and Yan Hong held a loudspeaker and shouted: "The soldiers of the Fujian army continue to guard the fence." Leave the matter of gagging to Jinyiwei! At the beginning of the clouds, you are in command! ”

Yun Chu said in a loud voice: "Obey!" Jinyi Guard, lined up, is flying, leading the second and third teams to prepare to fire! Ye Zhengfei muttered: "Your brother is very convenient to command, anyway, just ask me to fire." Without saying much, he hurriedly commanded more than 200 birds of Jinyiwei to set up their guns, braziers and ammunition, and more than 30 people in the front row held shields to block the flying arrows of the Mongolian soldiers. Wait until the Mongol advance has just reached the breach. At the sound of the command, the bullets rained down again. When the Mongol soldiers in front of him were defeated, more than a dozen were defeated.

The Mongolian soldiers have been in the nest for a long time, and now they have found such a gap, how can they give up easily? The one in front fell, and the one behind did not avoid, or leaped on the horse, or trampled, and went straight forward, instantly killing into the circle. Wang Ting shouted angrily, pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and stepped forward. A group of brocade guards behind them also caught up one after another, forming a situation of cavalry melee between the two sides at the gap. Although Jin Yiwei worked hard, after all, most of them worked hard immediately, and they could not be compared with the Mongols. The melee at this gap is that the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, everyone is brave, and the test is that the kung fu is harder. At this point, Jinyiwei suffered a loss. Ye Zhengfei commanded the musket team to shoot the rear of the Mongols from both sides, causing people to fall behind the Mongol team and affecting the input of the new force. But on the other hand, there were as many as 20,000 Mongolian cavalry outside the entire Checheng, and the strength exceeded the Ming army in Checheng by several times.

Yan Hong saw it and hurriedly said: "Brother Liang, Qingyan, Shang Ziqiang, you all go up to fight, you must drive the Tartars out!" Liang Rufei said: "Obey!" "Jump out. Zhang Qingyan said: "Xianggong, you should be more careful." Shang Ziqiang didn't say a word, and took the 12 zodiac signs of Jinyiwei into the battle group. These people are all good at martial arts, with strong body skills and ruthless killing. Although in the 10,000-horse army, individual martial arts do not play a decisive role, but when the two armies hold each other in a narrow way, they still have an advantage. Liang Rufei and Zhang Qingyan did not ride horses but walked, nor did they seek Mongolian soldiers to fight head-on. When he saw that the Mongol soldiers were fighting with the Jinyi guard, they swept up from the side, or swords, or hidden weapons, and stole the killer. The Mongol soldiers are opposite to such masters, even if they fight head-on, they can't take advantage, let alone sneak attacks from the side? In this way, more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers were killed to both of them. Shang Ziqiang and the other twelve people also repeated their old tricks, staring at the Mongolian cavalry that rushed closely, and each time three or four people besieged one person. In this way, although at the gap, on the whole, the Mongolian soldiers are advancing and the Jinyi Guards are struggling to resist, but these more than ten masters are sweeping around like ghosts, coupled with Ye Zhengfei's musket team pouring ammunition one after another, it makes the Mongolian soldiers suffer many more casualties than the Jinyi Guard.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and they heard the sound of killing outside Checheng, it turned out that Ma Fangqin led more than 1,000 border army iron cavalry, and killed from the north of Checheng, turned to the east, and concentrated on breaking through the back road of the Mongolian army. There were still many Mongolian troops on the periphery, and where they were willing to let them succeed in this way, more than 1,000 people immediately stepped forward to intercept and kill. So the two families fought fiercely again. This time, it is a chess opponent, and it will meet a good talent, tens of thousands of horses' hooves are staggered in advance and retreat, and people are constantly falling off their horses. Ma Fang's cavalry finally had one advantage, with their backs to Yu Dayou's Checheng and artillery support from Checheng. The fire power of the Franc machine gun can reach several miles, each lead word weighs a catty, and the flat bottom is like thunder and wind, how can the Mongols resist? The cannon was fired like a thunderbolt, and it could reach a distance of one or two miles, piercing through armor and flesh, and slashing blood and bones. The tiger squat cannon hit gravel, and the range was not far, but at close range, it was a face-to-face kill. The two cavalry battled, and the Min soldiers in Checheng used these artillery fire to continuously repair the perimeter of the Mongolian cavalry. Ma Fang's cavalry was originally elite, so it was invincible. At the moment of fierce battle, this group of Mongols was finally repulsed. Then Ma Fang rode his horse and danced his sword, and killed behind the gap in the east. The big knife was waved like a wheel, the sword light and blood flew together, and the wind and shouts resonated, taking the lead and cutting down a ten-division commander and a pawn of the Mongolian army. At this moment, the cavalry of the Mongolian army brigade was gathering in the eastern gap to clash inward, and was hit by Ma Fang's cavalry from behind, and they had to split up to meet the battle. This time, the momentum of the conflict inside was naturally discharged. Originally, cavalry and infantry fought, and the main advantage was condescending slashing, and second, mobility and impact. Now the Mongolian cavalry has Jinyi guards desperately resisting, and Ma Fang outside is attacking the back road, and thousands of people basically stop fighting, and they have become the best target for firepower in Checheng. The Min soldiers and Jinyi guards were shot one after another, and many people were defeated in each battle. Coupled with the repeated advances of Ma Fang's iron cavalry, the Mongol army finally couldn't stop it and retreated in an uproar. Yu Dayou hurriedly commanded the spare vehicles in the car city to step forward and plug the gap. Ma Fang also led the cavalry back into battle. In this impact, the Mongolian army suffered a lot of casualties, but the Jinyi guards and Fujian soldiers in Checheng, as well as the cavalry of the border army who went out of the city, suffered a lot of damage.

Yu Dayou and other Ma Fang's subordinates entered the city, and said: "The Tartars were killed and retreated by this formation, and their anger was also vented. We hurried south. So he commanded the Fujian army, pushed the box cart, and slowly retreated to Malianbao. This time, the Mongol cavalry seemed to have been exhausted by the great battle just now, and there was no large-scale interception and killing operation. At dusk, Yan Hong's army finally retreated to Malianbao.

Retreating into the castle, Yan Hong felt that his legs were a little weak. Looking back at the messy corpses on the battlefield outside, Yan Hong was secretly afraid. Think about it again, today's army out of the city by himself is only four or five thousand people, and the Mongols on the opposite side are more than 10,000. For many years in the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has always been a major disaster in the frontier, and he was able to draw with several times the Mongolian soldiers. When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that I was taller and had a larger lung capacity. The legs that were weak just now also stretched straight, snorted, and said to Wang Ting: "Wang Qianhu, order the border army in the city to defend the four gates." Gather all the generals and come to Ben Qincha's room to discuss the military situation. (To be continued......)
