Chapter 0759: The Wind Rises in Huicheng (Medium)
PS: It's the Internet, and I've been dying for the past two days! Nima, how is this place, it's still good in China!
It didn't take long for the Xihe army to be happy, and the vanguard army of the Yuan Dynasty arrived.
Only the deafening sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the Mongolian iron horsemen like black waves were tumbling over, endlessly, and the number was no less than that of Zuo Zhiming's Xihe army outside the city.
"Suck ......!!"
Even if it was not the first time to fight with the Yuan army, most of the Xihe soldiers still couldn't help but gasp, and the opponent's men and horses greatly exceeded the Xihe army's mental estimates.
"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the Yuan army would gather more soldiers and horses, it seems that this time I am afraid that there will be another bloody battle......!" Zuo Zhiming had already prepared for the worst, but in the face of such a situation, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.
About an hour later, the forward army of the Yuan army was still confronting the Xihe army, and there was no sign of making a move, and there was no intention of retreating.
Under the scorching sun, both sides were boiling, especially the war horses of the Yuan army were a little irritable and kicked the land, unable to bear to be restrained in such harsh weather and unable to gnaw on the grass.
This move made Zuo Zhiming understand the other party's plan, and knew that unless the front army of the Yuan army arrived, he was afraid that this battle would not be able to start.
"Pass the order, the troops will rotate once an hour! Be on guard and don't let the other party take advantage of the opportunity to attack! ”
After Zuo Zhiming gave the order, he left the battlefield, inspected the precautions everywhere, and waited to hear the news brought back by some scouts who fled from the surrounding area. The main force of the Yuan army was not far from them, and there was no intention of detouring to the other party, so they rushed straight to Huicheng. Obviously, he wanted to crush Huicheng with one blow, so as to break the next resistance of the Xihe army.
"It seems that the other party knows my plan and wants to fight me in Huicheng! Expected......! Zuo Zhiming pondered, he originally planned to fight a sniper battle in Huicheng, but he wanted to use the Yuan army's light enemy to give the Yuan army more damage from the beginning, but the Yuan army was not fooled. Zuo Zhiming's small plan could only be stopped, and he decided to fight with the other party in a dignified manner.
"Someone, give the order. Alert! ”
Until near the evening of the afternoon, more than 30,000 people of the Yuan army's front army arrived ten kilometers away from Huicheng and began to set up camp. And the vanguard of the Yuan army, which had been facing each other for a long time, finally took a breath and got the order. In the shouts of the generals. I ran back in a puff of smoke, and I didn't want to delay for a moment.
Seeing the Yuan army doing this, Zuo Zhiming raised his vigilance to the extreme, from the very beginning, the Yuan army showed a different cautiousness from the past, this vanguard army is not only confronted with the Xihe army, but also afraid that there is also a monitoring of the Xihe army to prevent the other party from attacking the front army.
And so on. It shows that the Yuan army has begun to face up to the Xihe Army and begins to regard the Xihe Army as an enemy that cannot be underestimated. And no longer an ordinary thief, a traitor to the party.
If this was in the past, Zuo Zhiming would be very happy, but now, Zuo Zhiming knows that this will bring him more harm.
It's just that it's useless to say these things now, everything can only be left to its own devices.
The next day, near the afternoon, the vanguard of the Yuan army appeared in front of the Xihe army again, and this time, they brought the front army of the Yuan army and many ordinary people.
"Those damn bastards!"
Zuo Zhiming gritted his teeth and watched the other party after resting, driving the old and weak women and children on their backs, carrying sacks, which were filled with mud, and came in the direction of the Xihe Army.
Zuo Zhiming ordered: "Pass the order, let Ji Xin, Feng Gui prepare to standby!" ”
At the front line, Feng Qi, who was guarding the trench in front of the first line of defense, shouted loudly: "The archers are ready to shoot the Yuan army that blends into the crowd, and the sword and shield soldiers are ready to guide the old and weak women and children ......!" ”
For the Yuan army to drive the Han people, the old, weak, women and children to fight in the front line The Xihe army has long been accustomed to it, but the Xihe army can't ignore it or kill it, after all, the Xihe soldiers are Han people, whether they are killed or ignored, even if it will not affect the formation, it will also affect morale, and it is what the Yuan army wants to see anyway.
Therefore, at this time, the general will face two choices, to save or not to save.
Zuo Zhiming chose to save, although this will bring casualties to the Xihe army, but as long as the guidance is good, it will arouse the hatred and resistance of the Xihe soldiers, and such an account is difficult to calculate clearly.
In the cries of the old and weak women and children, the two armies fought, and the arrows flew one by one, and the Yuan army, which blended into the crowd, relied on the old and weak women and children as shields, while the Xihe soldiers had no cover, but after all, they had an advantage in numbers, and the battle loss ratio of the two sides was one to one for a while.
At this time, the sword and shield soldiers have also begun to contact with the old and weak women and children, constantly distinguishing and killing, and the entire defense line seems to be a little shaky, rolling like a wave, but it is extremely resilient, allowing the Yuan army mixed in the crowd to impact, but it cannot break through. And the old and weak women and children were also separated little by little at this time and sent to the rear.
Time passed, the offensive lasted more than three hours, the temptation of the Yuan army was over, and no one took advantage.
A large number of old and weak women and children were rescued, and Jiang Yue, who was sent into the city, was further distinguished.
Just when the Yuan army Jin Ming withdrew his troops, Feng Gui of the Xihe Army came to the front line with a group of Mongol prisoners, and suddenly the Yuan army stopped retreating and set its sights on the direction of the Xihe Army.
These Mongol captives were not soldiers, but those old and weak Mongolian women and children who originally lived in the Han city, after the Xihe army broke through one city after another, they were captured before they could escape, and this time they came to Ganping Prefecture Zuo Zhiming asked for a batch from Xu Rong.
"Kill ......!!" Feng Gui looked at the Yuan army on the opposite side fiercely, and ordered loudly.
"Puff ..................!!!!"
"Puff ..................!!"
Different from the Xihe Army's relief, the Yuan Army was in turmoil, and there was a lot of scolding, and it was completely angered by this scene.
"Next time, if you are letting my Han people, the elderly, the weak, women and children rush into battle, you will wait for your people to accompany the funeral!" Feng Gui Ha smiled and pointed to the fallen corpse, which was in stark contrast to the corpses of Han women and children who had been cleaned up.
In the way of the other, return the body of the other.
With hatred for the Mongols, Zuo Zhiming will not be willing to bear the sorrow and let the other party go free. From the fact that he endured it for more than ten years, he buried 50,000 elites of the Yuan army with the last move, and completely destroyed the good situation of the Yuan army sniping the Xihe army in one fell swoop, it can be seen that he can be loved and respected by the people. But what a pride it is for the enemy.
The Yuan army's strategy of the old and weak women and children was completely destroyed by Zuo Zhiming's trick of not following the card, and the general army was also opposed, and the Yuan army that had originally retreated suddenly stopped.
"Offensive ......!!!"
The mighty cow cries rang out. (To be continued......)
