The former cottage in Huangyuan County——
Xie Zaiyi was holding a bow and arrow at this moment, and shot at the Mongolian General Heshuote who was standing out in the village. When he opened his bow, arrows rained down like rain. For a moment, the suppressed Mongolian General Heshuote couldn't raise his head.
Behind them, the Han army's offensive was like a continuous tide, rushing towards the mountain stronghold.
Seeing that the situation of the stronghold being suppressed was really terrible, Leng'erli raised a waist knife in his hand, looked solemn, and shouted loudly: "All armies, listen to the order, open the stronghold gate, and charge with me!"
In the village, the Heshuote Mongolian soldiers held shields and charged downwards under the leadership of Leng'eli.
This wave of counterattack was condescending and started from top to bottom, relying on the favorable geographical situation. The soldiers who were not good at defending the city and were trapped in the stronghold followed closely behind and rushed towards Chen Han's army.
On the contrary, the soldiers and horses of the northwest frontier army, who were supplemented by infantry, were frightened into fear and were defeated step by step. However, the cavalry of the Beijing camp were as solid as a rock and remained unmoved.
And at this moment, Xie Zaiyi caught a glimpse of the leader, Leng Eli, with a cold light flashing in his aggressive eyes under his thick eyebrows. He drew out his specially made Yanling saber and attacked Leng Eli.
The sword was as bright as a piece of moonlight, and it cut in the air with a fierce and fierce killing intent.
"clang!"
The two swords clashed, and sparks shot out. Leng'eli's heart was shaken, and he almost staggered. Fortunately, at this moment, the guard on the side rushed forward with a sword.
This general is really a general of the Han Dynasty, so brave!
In fact, according to Wu Yong, Leng'e Li, who left his name in the history, is not inferior to Xie Zaiyi, but facing Xie Zaiyi at this moment, he feels that there is a huge pressure coming on him.
This is because a person's martial prowess is not static. As he grows older, refines his fighting skills, and develops momentum, Xie Zaiyi's martial prowess also improves by leaps and bounds.
To put it bluntly, it means you have confidence, no matter how you shoot, you will have it.
Leng Eli and Xie Zaiyi fought like a revolving door, their swords clashed, the tiger's mouth gradually cracked open, and a trace of blood flowed out.
The surrounding Heshuote Mongolian generals, armed with sabers, fought against the Han army. Blood and mutilated limbs accompanied by shouts and shouts resounded in the valley.
In fact, it was quite inconvenient for the two sides to fight among the piles of rocks and grass, and they gradually fell into a fight.
Jia Heng was holding a clairvoyant telescope and looking at the anxious scene of the battle. He frowned and said to Chen Xiao beside him: "This enemy general is quite quick-witted. If the two sides get entangled, our artillery and muskets will be destroyed."
There is no way to show off your power."
At this moment, the Fran cannon and other guns also gradually stopped roaring.
Chen Xiao said: "Sending more troops and horses to rush over? There is no way we can capture the stronghold."
Jia Heng's eyes narrowed and he said: "This is a fueling tactic, and the troops cannot be spread widely."
If they overwhelm the Beijing cavalry at the beginning, they may not be able to win. Even if they can, it is not necessary.
The key, in fact, is not whether the mountain stronghold can be captured, but how to attract Heshuote Mongolian troops to continuously increase troops to the mouth of the valley.
Of course, this move will cause more casualties, but Ci does not control troops.
At this time, when Jia Fang saw that the offensive was not going smoothly, he looked solemn, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, let me lead two thousand men to charge forward and level the stronghold!"
Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Go ahead and be careful."
In fact, the troops cannot be deployed widely because it is a low hill with rugged mountains and rocks. At most, only more than 10,000 people can spread out and develop a military line.
However, if the cavalry is not sent to increase the number, it may also arouse Yue Tuo's vigilance, which will shake his countermeasures.
The two sides fought for nearly half an hour, until the drums rumbled, and the mountain stronghold that was originally on the verge of collapse seemed to be a little more solid as a rock.
Jia Heng put down the monocular and said: "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, please retreat with gold."
At this moment, Yue Tuo finally arrived.
At this moment, Yue Tuo had led ten thousand people to rush from Huangyuan County. He looked at Leng Eli, who had a wound on his shoulder with blood pouring out. His heart skipped a beat and he asked with concern: "What's going on?"
Leng'er's face was as golden as paper, as if he was out of breath due to excessive blood loss, and he said: "Master, the enemy general is too brave, and I am no match for him. I was injured by his sword."
Yue Tuo thought for a moment and then ordered: "Let the doctor diagnose and treat you first."
Then, Yue Tuo came to the watchtower of the mountain village. The sun was setting in the west, the setting sun was like blood, and the mountains and fields were littered with corpses and broken knives and broken guns.
The battle flag is on fire, smoky.
Yue Tuo raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the layout of the Han army's camp. His eyes fell on the handsome flag with the character "Jia" in it.
Jia Heng's child, he must unscrew the child's head and wrap it with this "Jia" flag to commemorate his brother!
At this time, Ilden looked at the broken limbs and arms with blood flowing down below, with a solemn look on his face, and reminded him: "Master, this Han army has great fighting power. We are not good at defending cities and fortifications. Once the stalemate lasts for a long time, I'm afraid
The casualties are too great and it is unsustainable."
Yue Tuo's eyes flashed and he whispered: "It is not appropriate to advance the army like this now."
If he withdraws his troops, Jia Heng will no longer be able to attack from the mouth of the valley, but will drive straight in. If he tries to lure troops and cut off the grain road, it will be even more difficult to reach the sky.
In terms of the strength of the Han army, there are more than 100,000 elite cavalry, while the Heshuote Mongols only have 60,000 or 70,000 troops. Moreover, all the tribes are united, and the hearts of the people are not unified. Once a head-on confrontation occurs, it will most likely be difficult to resist.
Therefore, you still have to use tricks to win!
At this moment, a personal guard came out from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Taiji is here. Please come over."
Yue Tuo took a deep breath in the air that was still filled with blood after the war, and turned around to return to the military tent with a group of personal guards.
At this moment, Dorji hurriedly rushed forward and asked: "Brother Xian, how is the situation ahead? Why did I hear that the Han army's offensive was very fast and fierce?"
Although Leng'erli was the commander-in-chief, the soldiers and low-level generals under his command were all warriors of the Hoshuote Mongolian clan. The previous casualties and the brutality of the battle also shocked Dorji to some extent.
Yue Tuo said: "The Han army attacked fiercely, but our troops are not afraid of death and have repelled the Han army's attack."
Dorji's eyes flashed and he asked again: "Xian brother, can this stronghold be defended or not?"
Yue Tuo comforted and said: "The Han army's cavalry in the capital camp this time are all very capable. We, the Qing Dynasty, suffered a lot in the past. Don't worry, brother, they can't attack the stronghold."
In fact, if Yue Tuo had just watched the whole battle, he would probably have seen that when the Han army entered the army, they could have completely attacked the mountain stronghold by placing heavy troops, but they had spared a hand in order to attract the troops of Yue Tuo and Dorji.
.
Dorji said: "What a good brother can do, a brother can still trust."
Yue Tuo extended his hand to invite him and said, "Brother, let's go in and talk."
As they talked, they entered the military tent, sat down, drank cheese tea, and gathered together to discuss matters.
Yue Tuo said: "Brother, I have already obtained the map of the Han army's march. Now the Han army is just using a false shot to attract the attention of my army, and then wants to cut off our retreat. We will take advantage of it."
, give Han Ting another big defeat!"
When Yue Tuo finished speaking, his eyes were fierce and determined.
Dorji said: "Is that what my dear brother said before? The Han court marched troops from the mouth of the valley to surround me. Is it the same strategy as when they captured Huangyuan?"
Yue Tuo's eyes flashed with wisdom and he said: "Brother, this is it. That Jia Heng just wants to repay the other person with his own way."
Dorji frowned and blinked, obviously not understanding the idea of ​​treating others the way they treat others. After all, this kind of Confucian classic of Han culture is a bit difficult for Dorji to understand.
Yue Tuo said: "The same method we used to deal with the Han army will be used against us."
"These twists and turns are really tiring, so I'd better make some plans," Dorji said with a heartless laugh.
Yue Tuo said: "Brother, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Dusk gradually enveloped the land, occasionally a few night owls flew across the sky and emitted a few sharp cries, and the entire village was filled with bonfires and the sounds of celebration continued.
In the military tent, the wails and groans of many soldiers could be heard from time to time.
Accompanied by Ilden, Yue Tuo went to the wounded barracks made of straw huts to visit Leng Eli.
As soon as he entered the wounded barracks, Yue Tuo choked and coughed several times due to the smell of herbal medicine. The light flickered a few times and he saw that Leng Eli had already bandaged his arm with a white cloth.
"Your Highness." Leng'eli saw Yue Tuo and was about to salute, but he saw Yue Tuo stepping forward to support Leng'eli's arm.
"What's the specific situation of the battle today? When I came here, I saw wounded soldiers howling in pain, which affected morale a lot." Yue Tuo asked.
If according to the customs of the Jurchen soldiers and horses, these wounded soldiers who affected morale would be punished if they whined and groaned like this, but these were Heshuote Mongolian soldiers and horses, and Yue Tuo would not be able to deal with them.
"The Han army used the cannon to suppress it, and we relied on the stronghold to hold on. In addition, the Han army also had something like a firecracker, which was thrown over and exploded like thunder from the sky. Many generals were caught off guard and were injured."
With a lingering fear on his face, Leng said in a low voice.
Yue Tuo asked: "What do you mean?"
Could it be that the Han army had invented a new firecracker similar to the Hongyi cannon to defeat the enemy?
Just as there are many stationery items for poor students, the more poorly prepared the Central Plains dynasty was, the more they worked hard on these strange skills.
For example, when the Song Dynasty was weak, it bought all kinds of equipment, but was still defeated by the Mongolian cavalry.
