Chapter 325: Coastal Fiasco
The two separated battalions of the Fu Liao Army finally came together after fighting to the death. The originally scattered teams once again formed a group. Because of this, the morale of the soldiers stabilized. Under the leadership of Lin Maochun, they began to move forward.
He retreated towards the big ship behind the simple dock. Mao Youde rushed out of the siege and returned to his own team. Broken pieces of flesh and blood were dripping from his body. He turned his horse's head to look at the battlefield just now. His two thousand brothers
, almost all lying there.
"How many came back?" Lin Maochun painfully reported: "Less than five hundred."
No matter what, the combat effectiveness of the Fu Liao Army is still not as good as that of Jian Nu. However, in this period of fighting, his brother was lying down for a thousand and a half, while looking at Jian Nu opposite, he saw that there were at least more than a thousand.
The two teams and one, Lin Maochun's two thousand seasick brothers who had just come over, also lost nearly one thousand under the enemy's eight hundred attack. Now the total number of the Fu Liao army is only one thousand seventy-eight, and most of them are injured.
Twenty-three hundred people were killed directly in battle.
Now the troops of both sides are almost ready to wait, but facing the cavalry and the slaves, this side is at an absolute disadvantage.
"I want to fight back." Mao Youde spat fiercely and tightened the sword in his hand.
"You can't do that, Major General. There's no way we can defeat Jiannu on the other side." Lin Maochun and Zhang Kui stopped him together.
"I have to rush over, otherwise the brothers who stayed in Huanggu Castle will be trapped and die there." Mao Youde was very anxious. It was all his own fault. Once he made a mistake, he could not make another mistake and left Huanggu Castle behind.
If there are a thousand brothers in it, then you will make more mistakes.
"Our top priority is to break away from the Jiannu in front of us. We will immediately evacuate the remaining brothers onto the ship. As for the brothers in Huanggu Castle -" Lin Maochun pondered, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "They have a strong fortress with the help of
, there will be no danger for a while, we will withdraw and ask the commander to bring reinforcements to rescue him again."
"No, never, those are my brothers, and I will never leave them alone." Mao Youde argued loudly, his eyes filled with blood and tears.
Now that Mao Youde is crazy, Lin Maochun tried to persuade him with sincerity: "Major General, now that we are exhausted and suffering heavy casualties, how can we possibly kill the enemy again to rescue the brothers in Huanggubao? Besides, we can't protect ourselves now. If
If we continue to march for rescue, we will die under Jiannu's cavalry. The top priority now is not to rescue Huang Castle, but how to bring our remaining brothers back under Jiannu's imminent attack."
After being persuaded so hard by Lin Maochun, Mao Youde calmed down slightly. Seeing his brothers who were less than two thousand behind him, he looked at Huanggu Castle from a distance, and finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
"Zhang Kui, take the wounded brothers on board. General Chen, you will command the entire army. I will take a group of brothers to fight against the upcoming slave attack." Mao Youde made this arrangement.
Lin Maochun did not shirk at this time. If the command of the retreat was handed over to Mao Youde, then no one would be able to leave.
As a result, a group of brothers who were not injured or were slightly injured began to form a large formation to block the enemy and cover the retreat of other brothers.
The eldest brother Wang was injured, and he wanted to follow the other wounded brothers to retreat to the ship. However, the second eldest brother Wang was not injured, so he was left behind to stop the attack.
The eldest brother gave endless instructions. After the war, the second eldest brother no longer had the panic that he had just entered the battlefield. He said to the eldest brother: "Just get on the boat. I'm fine. Thousands of troops and horses are all out.
God hates me and doesn't want to accept me. After I kill a few more slaves, I can be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief. When the time comes, I join the officer training team with my third brother, and that will be the honor of our ancestors."
The boss held his brother's hand tightly: "Don't just think about honoring your ancestors, saving your life is the most important thing."
The second brother looked at his brother, and then at the corpses of his brothers spread out on the beach in the distance. They were all brothers who had trained, eaten and fought together. They were just gone. He gritted his teeth and said, "Leave me alone.
Even if it's not just Zong Yaozu, I will kill a few more slaves to avenge my brothers." Then he shook off his brother's hand, strode to the front, squatted in the first row, stood up the spear in his hand, and joined the brothers
They leaned side by side.
The panting Mongolian Ertai shook his aching arm. He didn't want to be separated from the enemy and left the battle group. But he led the men and horses on a long-distance attack and entered the battlefield without taking a breath. This was a deadly struggle.
After the beating, my whole body felt as uncomfortable as if I had shed layers of skin. I could also clearly feel the war horses under my crotches shaking suddenly all over my body. They lost their strength at the sight of them. Many soldiers' horses fell to the ground with a crash, and they could no longer stop.
Unable to stand up, every warrior staggered from exhaustion.
My own soldiers have no strength of their own, and the horses under their crotches do not yet have their own divine steeds. I must take a breath and replace the horses before fighting again.
I have never fought such a difficult battle. Although I killed more than 2,000 enemies, I also lost no less than 300. In addition, almost 300 of the 800 who were left here died in this battle. This battle was a direct loss.
Seven hundred were lost, which was indeed a casualty that Zhenglan Banner had never experienced before.
Seeing that the few enemies began to retreat to the warships in the sea, and a group of Ming troops under the command of a mighty Ming army began to form their formation again on the beach in a final desperate blockade, Mang Gurtai gritted his teeth.
: "My sons, change your horses and prepare to charge."
Following his order, the exhausted Eight Banners soldiers immediately put on the war horses they had brought, gripped the steel knives in their hands, and prepared for the final fight.
The people on the other side are even more exhausted than me, and there are only four to five hundred people left. I have at least two thousand brothers here. It is absolutely no problem to kill them all, or at least kill all the enemies on the coastline.
At this moment, the sound of soaring drums suddenly came from the Huanggu Castle behind Mongoltai, and bursts of shouts came from the front of the castle. Manggurtai turned his head fiercely and saw the gate of Huanggu Castle wide open, and a team came again.
A group of Fu Liao soldiers came out of the fort gate.
When Mang Gurtai saw it, he was overjoyed. This was just the way to lure the snake out of its hole. In this wilderness, if these enemies rushed out, they could easily recapture the Huanggu Castle. So he immediately loudly ordered: "The whole army turns around."
, kill them all." Then he rushed over immediately.
Seeing the brothers in Huanggu Castle rushing out, Mao Youde immediately pointed his sword at an angle and was about to give an order to greet them. However, Lin Maochun threw Mao Youde to the ground: "Don't save them, save them."
, we are all finished.”
"You dare to die without saving me? I will kill you now." Mao Youde screamed and struggled.
Lin Maochun shouted loudly: "Chen Da Shao and Xu Ti are not fools. They are attracting enemies for us. As long as we retreat immediately, Xu Ti will retreat immediately." Then he ignored Mao Youde and faced
The brothers who had just formed their formation shouted: "Listen to my order and run to the boat as fast as you can."
All the soldiers immediately began to turn around and gallop away like warships.
Just as Lin Maochun had judged, when the Ming army standing on the city wall looked out and saw his comrades on the beach beginning to flee towards the ship, he violently waved the red flag in his hand. Xu Ti, the Fu Liao army who had just rushed out of the fort gate,
He immediately ordered the army to turn around and run back. In the blink of an eye, the Fu Liao army, which slowly rushed out and shouted loudly, retreated back into the city, and the heavy fortress gates closed with a rumble.
