Chapter 22 Yu Wan was captured
As the enemy retreated, everyone could finally take a breath.
"Nephew Yu, I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in metaphysics, but also very good at martial arts and courage. You are really a dragon and a phoenix among people!"
Zheng Zongwang temporarily saved his life and was in a very good mood. He looked at the heroic Yu Wan with interest. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Yu Wanke was not as leisurely as him. He helped He Dongping rebuild the city defense. After dealing with the injured, he asked Du Zhengyan, "What is the situation in the other three gates?"
Du Zhengyan wiped the blood on his face and said gaspingly, "The Barbarian Army mainly attacked the East Gate, so the situation of the other three gates is quite optimistic, but the musket ammunition and pine oil are used up, so the arrows are all used up, and I guess it will not be able to survive the next wave of attack!"
"How about the defenses of each door? How is the casualties?" Yu Wan held a spear in his hand and glanced at the city walls full of corpses. His eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. An hour ago, these people were still alive and roaming, and they were separated from their family members in the blink of an eye. Will the next one lying down be himself?
"The East Gate defenders died in battle for 2,000, and 1,000 each of the three gates in the south, west and north. The specific data has not yet been released, but the loss should be nearly half!"
In this way, there are only more than 2,000 people who can continue to fight. If this continues, the city will undoubtedly be destroyed.
At this moment, Yu Wan was more like a lord guarding the city, with moderate command and proper order. Zheng Yixue couldn't help but be moved, staring at him affectionately, completely forgetting the reality that the dangerous city was about to break.
"Mr. Zheng, General He, General Du, speak with one step."
After doing a good job in remedial defense, Yu Wan called these core figures to the fort to discuss countermeasures.
"Now the enemy is large and we are few. Although the barbarian army has suspended its attack, it will soon attack the city again. We have used up all the equipment to defend the city. We will continue to guard the city and wait for death."
"What are the opinions of Nephew Yu Xian?"
Zheng Zongwang had no idea about marching and fighting, and had already put all his hope on Yu Wan.
Yu Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the distance for a moment before saying, "Take the initiative and catch him off guard!"
What? Take the initiative! Everyone looked at Yu Wan in a daze. This is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. Mr. Yu is still too young after all, and he is impulsive in doing things!
He Dongping frowned and said, "Our army is weak and there is still insufficient defense of the city. Wouldn't it be a death if we leave the city rashly?"
"General He is right, and the Barbarian Army thinks so too." Yu Wan nodded lightly, "so we can achieve unexpected results and catch the Barbarian Army off guard."
"While it is good, but..." He Dongping, as a veteran on the battlefield, naturally thought about it in every possible way. "Even if the raid can be successfully attacked, how many enemies can be killed? What if the barbarian army takes the opportunity to kill?"
Speaking of this, Yu Wan couldn't help but frown. It was better to take the initiative than to sit and wait for death, but there was a huge risk. He couldn't help but subconsciously look at the situation outside the city. Suddenly, he pointed to a dark place in the northeast corner and asked, "Where is that place?"
Du Zhengyan followed the past, "That was Baize Lake, adjacent to the Yangtze River Waterway. However, because of the drought and lack of water, it is now a dry lake."
"Are there woods around the lake?" Yu Wan said excitedly because he suddenly had a plan.
Du Zhengyan was stunned for a moment, "There are naturally forests by the lake, but because of the recent drought, there are many dead branches and leaves in the forest."
"That's it!"
Yu Wan clapped her hands and laughed happily, "I have a plan to retreat to the barbarian army."
Then, he whispered his plan to the three of them.
...
After hearing this, Zheng Zongwang frowned slightly and said, "Will this be too risky? What if..."
"Nothing happens." Yu Wan said with a firm look, "It's over here. If you give it a try, you may have a glimmer of hope. If you don't do anything, you will be dead. No matter how dangerous it is, you have to try it!"
"Brother Yu, why don't I take this risk for you!" Yu Wan helped the Du family break the evil situation of the Five Ghosts opening the door. Du Zhengyan was very grateful to him and could not bear to put him in a dangerous situation.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wan refused without hesitation, "Don't say much, everyone, time is tight, please prepare immediately as I told you!"
After all this, everyone was not willing to talk about it anymore. Du Zhengyan was responsible for calling Feng Dai, Xu Hu, Yu Hao, and He Dongping were responsible for summoning the only 800 remaining cavalrymen. Soon, everyone participating in the war was concentrated in the training ground.
Yu Wan rode a tall horse, holding a spear, and patrolled the team. "The bandits are powerful and it won't take long to stay Anqing City. At that time, officials can run away, and you can run away, but can the fathers, wife and children in the family run past the barbarians' iron hooves?"
Although Yu Wan had never had any experience in leading troops to fight, Liu Bowen's military strategy, who had studied so long, was still somewhat superficial. He had to arouse the morale of the army before the war so that he could face the enemy without fear.
He continued to say in a low tone, "I am not from Anqing Mansion, so there is no need to be involved in this life-and-death battle, but I stayed without hesitation. Why?"
The eight hundred soldiers all looked at each other and couldn't guess what the young man was thinking.
"That's because I am a Han Chinese, I can't bear to see my compatriots being slaughtered by foreign races! I only know that the barbarians killed me, so I will kill ten of them. The barbarians invaded my city, so I will rob his nest! I, a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, would rather die standing than live on kneeling! I, Yu Wan, would be the first person to die!"
Roar roar! Yu Wan's passionate speech began to ferment among the soldiers. Even Zheng Yixue could clearly see that everyone's face was covered with murderous aura. This murderous aura was never before that of Anqing's defenders. Mr. Yu incited so many people to work with him in a few words. Such methods were really extraordinary.
"I hope to follow Mr. Yu to fight hard to kill the enemy!"
Hundreds of men shouted together, and a murderous aura instantly lingered throughout the East Gate!
This young man is right. They really have no choice but to retreat. Over the years, Anqing has been invaded by barbarians. How many brothers have died and how many women have been captured. This time, this time, this beast will know that I, the Ming soldiers, are not a waste who has changed color!
Seeing that the morale of the cavalry had been blown up, Zheng Zongwang decided to add fuel to the fire and promised that after retreating from the barbarian army, each soldier would be rewarded with five thrones of rice.
As soon as these words were said, the whole army became even more excited. You should know that in this chaotic year, food is the most precious substance. Five tracts of food are basically enough for a family to live for a year. They are so happy that they will not be crazy, and they will want to leave the city immediately to kill all the barbarians!
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Yu Wan issued a combat order, "All cavalry were divided into three teams, General He Dongping and I led 300 people into squadrons, General Du Zhengyan and Feng Dai led 200 people into the left team, Xu Hu and Yu Hao led 200 people into the right team, this time the target was very clear, that is, to jointly attack the central army of the barbarians, how much can they kill, but one thing is, when the gold is sounded on the city tower, no matter what happens, everyone must withdraw to the city. Those who do not obey the military orders can be killed on the spot!"
There is still be fire in Anqing where the city is built in Liaodong to avoid Hu!
After a while, the east gate opened wide, and the three teams on the left, center and right came out under the leadership of their respective generals. They stabbed the barbarian army like sharp arrows in the dark night!
After just experiencing a big battle, the barbarians were resting and recuperating. Unexpectedly, the Ming army, which had always been weak and incompetent, dared to take the initiative to leave the city, and the charge was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it brought all the wolf smoke to the front of me.
"Ming... Ming army is coming!"
Before the patrol could scream, the patrol died tragically under the horse's hooves of the Ming soldiers.
This sudden charge killed the powerful barbarian army into chaos. After several conflicts, hundreds of barbarian soldiers were killed and injured.
"Everyone is approaching the Central Army immediately and trap them to death!"
The head coach of the barbarian army, Shen Mi Tuoning, indeed underestimated the enemy. He originally planned to continue to attack the city in half an hour, but he never thought that he would be caught off guard by the weak Ming army. This made him very angry and extremely embarrassed.
The barbarian army is worthy of being a warrior. They soon came to their senses and surrounded the Ming army from all directions like iron barrels. The two sides instantly entered the stage of close combat.
Yu Wan became more and more brave as he fought, and soon he reached the core of the barbarian army alone, less than a hundred steps away from the commander's tent!
However, he was deeply involved in the enemy's formation, no matter how powerful his martial arts were, it was useless. Although Yu Wan, who lacked helpers, was extremely lethal, but his two fists could not match four hands. After killing more than 30 barbarian soldiers, he was unable to support his strength and was hooked off the horse by the barbarian army's iron hook hands.
Yu Wan was captured, and the Ming army was about to fight to rescue him, but the sound of gold sounded on the Anqing city wall. After hesitating for a moment, he had to fight out a bloody path and retreat into the city, allowing Mr. Yu to be captured alive by the barbarians.
