The Battle of Yaksa was extremely fierce. After Beidun received reinforcements from Pajerin, Arshensky, and Sauron, its military strength increased to more than 3,200 people. Although compared with the nearly 15,000 Ming army, the military strength was small.
Still at an absolute disadvantage, but relying on the special terrain of Yaksa with Heilongjiang at its back, the Ming army was unable to attack the city from all sides. They could only attack from the east, north, and southeast. From time to time, they were harassed and attacked by the Rakshasa Army on the ancient island in the center of the river.
Shelling.
"It seems that if we want to seize Yaksa, we must conquer the ancient city island," Sun Guangwei murmured to himself, and ordered Ruan Jin, Ruan Jun and his son's navy to seize the ancient city island at all costs.
He knew the importance of this island, and the Rakshasa people also knew it. Beidun and Sauron led two thousand soldiers to guard the island. Beidun also set up his military tent in the ancient city village on the island. You can come with countless cannonballs.
I went and bombed the surrounding area of the island beyond recognition. Ruan Jin led his troops to land several times, and was driven off by the Rakshasa army several times.
"Commander, the last general is willing to attack the ancient city island at night. If he cannot capture the island, he is willing to accept the military law." General Deng Yunlong asked for battle.
"Well, General Deng must be careful when he goes here." Seeing that the navy had been fighting for a long time without success, Deng Yunlong said boldly again. Sun Guangwei was right. He encouraged Ruan Jin with a few words and ordered Ruan Jin to carry thousands of Deng Yunlong's troops to the island at night.
.
On the night of May 6, the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, under the escort of the navy, a thousand officers and soldiers of Deng Yunlong's army secretly landed ashore under the cover of darkness.
The Rakshasa sentry guarding the island quickly conveyed the news that the Ming army was landing to Beidun.
"General manager, I am willing to lead people to drive the Ming army off the island," said the captain Sauron. This man is actually not a Rakshasa, but a leader of the Daur tribe. After the Rakshasa army entered the Nerchinsk area, right?
The Daur people who were willing to surrender carried out a bloody massacre. Seeing that the Rakshasa people were powerful, Sauron bowed and surrendered. After surrendering, he helped the Rakshasa people consolidate their colonial rule, made great contributions, and became one of the leaders of Nerchinsk.
The famous Ergouzi.
"No, Sauron, let them land first, and then ambush them. You lead a hundred cavalry to the shore and cut off their return path," Beidun said coldly.
We boarded the ancient city island easily, and Deng Yunlong shouted, "God help me."
"Join the army, shall we establish a beachhead to cover the landing of the follow-up troops?" Li Lin, one of the subordinates, suggested to Deng Yunlong.
"No, soldiers are very fast. We took advantage of the Rakshasa people before they discovered us, and captured the ancient city village by surprise." Deng Yunlong issued the military order. There is a word "dragon" in his name. If it is a dragon, it should cause trouble in the ocean.
After making great achievements, how can we be willing to work slowly and share the credit with others?
It was already early in the morning, the sky was dark, and the Ming army hurriedly formed a long snake formation and marched towards the ancient city village in the center of the island.
Gucheng Island is the second largest island in Heilongjiang. It covers an area of about 15 square kilometers and is shaped like an ingot. It faces Yaksa across the wide main channel of Heilongjiang.
It was already May, the ice and snow melted, and lush vegetation was revealed. The Ming army marched in a low voice, unaware of the muskets hidden deep in the dense forest.
"Shoot!" Beidun issued the military order.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
"Bah~bah~hoo~"
There was a loud sound of gunfire, and the Ming army that was caught off guard was knocked down in large numbers.
"No, there's an ambush, retreat quickly." Guerrilla Li Linggang shouted, but he was hit by a stray bullet in the chest and fell to the ground.
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
"Ula!"
Rakshasa soldiers armed with battle axes and scimitars came out from all directions. Seeing that his subordinates were in chaos and the governor could not do anything, Deng Yunlong said, "Quick, blow the trumpet and retreat." He ordered the trumpet soldiers to blow the trumpet and retreat.
They gathered their flags and hurriedly retreated to the shore. There was a boat there, and it would be safe if they got on the boat.
"Da~da~da~"
Sauron led a hundred Daur cavalry to arrive. They used the speed of their horses to knock down the Ming army who was unable to form the formation, and quickly cut off the Ming army's return route to the river bank.
"Brothers, fight with the Rakshasa ghost!"
Deng Yunlong roared loudly, sank down, cut off the front hoof of a war horse with one knife, and killed the knight who rolled off the horse with another knife.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The Ming army, desperate to survive and with no way to retreat, was extremely fierce and fought desperately, finally breaking out of a passage. Deng Yunlong deeply regretted that he had been careless and caused heavy casualties to the entire army, so he insisted on walking at the back to cover his men's breakout.
"There is a bright general there, let me shoot him." On the Russian artillery position in the dense forest, Bei Dun, holding a telescope, spotted Deng Yunlong and ordered the gunners to aim and shoot.
Several artillery shells roared towards Deng Yunlong. After that, only the severed limbs and arms were left, and a wisp of loyal soul remained, staring at the ancient city island and Yaksa.
The night attack on Gucheng Island failed, and Deng Yunlong and 700 of his men slept on the island.
Sun Guangwei was heartbroken, so he had to postpone the attack on the island, build a fortress, and fight against the Rakshasa army.
Hearing that the war ahead was unfavorable, Grand Scholar Sun Jinding could not sit still and came to Yaksa in person to supervise the battle.
"See Mr. Ge" and seeing Grand Scholar Sun coming, Sun Guangwei hurriedly led the generals to salute.
"Generals, there is no need to be polite. I have come to reward you for your hard work in the long battle." Sun Jinding said with a smile, and ordered his subordinates to unload a truckload of condolences, a total of 500 trucks, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Cattle, sheep, vegetables and fruits are all available. He is a great bachelor and the city is very deep, but he does not even mention the defeat in the battle.
This made the generals even more ashamed.
"Mr. Ge, the general has been at a disadvantage for a long time, and I have failed to bear the divine grace. Please punish me." Sun Guangwei took the initiative to apologize. If others don't pursue it, it doesn't mean that the incident didn't happen. You have to have a correct attitude. Taking the initiative to apologize is better than pursuing it after the fact.
OK.
"I asked Ge Lao to punish the last general for his incompetence in combat." Generals Ruan Jin, Chao Xian, Gu Zhong, Fulehe, and Chen Qice all apologized one after another.
"Oh, what are you doing? I'm here to reward the troops, not to hold them accountable. What's the point of a small defeat? Why should you care too much? Besides, even if I cure you of your crime, you can still be punished.
Can the dead soldiers come back to life? Can Yaksa be snatched away from the hands of the Rakshasa ghost? If we pursue loyal ministers and good generals, won’t we cause pain to our loved ones and pleasure to our enemies, but we will take advantage of the Rakshasa ghost’s wishes?”
Sun Jinding glanced gently at Sun Guangwei, Ruan Jin, Wang Chaoxian, Gu Zhong, Ruan Jun, Fu Lehe, Chen Qice, Liu Yipeng, and Wang Xing. There was praise and encouragement in his eyes, but no blame.
Then there are thick memories.
"Rusun Guangwei, when he shot a tiger, he took the general's head in the formation of the two armies as if he were trying to retrieve something from a bag."
"Ru Ruan Jin, when you were traveling across the sea, you led a few small ships and dared to charge directly at the Tatar fleet."
"You made a brilliant plan. When you rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the Holy One praised you as a loyal minister."
"You??"
"You??"
"You??"
Sun Jinding praised all the generals, mentioning all the things they were proud of in their lives.
Suddenly, the conversation changed and he asked: "Why, does a small defeat scare you to death?"
"Mr. Ge, please let the last general fight another battle. We must seize the ancient city island and avenge General Deng Yunlong."
"Please let Mr. Ge let the last general take the main attack, and we will not withdraw our troops until we capture Yaksa."
"The last general invites you to fight!"
"The last general invites you to fight!"
"The last general invites you to fight!"
The generals were inspired to fight, and their morale, which had been somewhat low due to a small setback, was revived.
