At night, in the autumn wilderness, spots of fire spread out under the vast sky.
The battlefield of 100,000 people is almost the size of a city when viewed from a bird's eye view. The densely packed camps are as far as the eye can see. In the alternating darkness and light, the gathering of people is interwoven into a real ocean. And the charge of nearly 10,000 people
, also has the same violent feeling.
Five thousand people, driving more than 6,000 broken troops, pressed towards the camp of 70,000 people, like a glass of cold water poured into boiling oil.
——exploded.
Forty thousand people defended the rear, and there were more than thirty thousand people facing the city they wanted to attack. As the Black Flag Army charged, the city gates of Yanzhou also opened, and the Zhong family's troops began to appear. Gradually,
More and more, after forming a team several times, they launched a charge here.
The Jurchen cavalry of a thousand people came down from the north and threatened at the edge of the camp. At the same time, the main force of more than 10,000 black flag troops came diagonally from the northeast, trying to attack the Jurchen forces and Yan Zhenguo in an aggressive manner.
Between the army, when the footsteps of these twelve thousand people shook the ground, it was also an astonishing mass.
The fire arrows soared into the sky, and there was a sea of people spreading everywhere. The catapults used to attack the city were slowly operating again, throwing stones into the sky. Three huge hot air balloons flew toward Yanzhou while dropping explosives.
, the huge sound and fire in the night were extremely shocking
After arriving in Yanzhou, in order to immediately start the siege, Yan Zhenguo's camp defenses were sloppily constructed - it was impossible for him to build a stronghold for 100,000 people. Due to the large number of his own troops,
Coupled with the pressure of the Jurchens, all the strength of the army was put on siege. If someone really came to attack, it would only be a positional battle. And this time, as the largest force on the battlefield,
Strength, his army really fell into the quagmire of gods fighting with imps to prevent disasters.
"The Chinese army is here! Those who switch sides and rush to kill will not die! The rest will be killed without mercy——"
"Don't come over! They are all my brothers——"
"******, get out of my way——"
"Kill him if he comes again——"
"It's death anyway. I drag you to death together——"
To the southeast, the six or seven thousand people who were coerced by five thousand black flag troops to rush towards the main formation of the army may be suffering the most. Of course they are not willing to fight with the main formation, but the evil stars behind are extremely fast and cruel. They will not be surrendered.
, even if they surrendered to the ground and surrendered, the opponent would only cut them with a knife in the head. On both sides of the broken army, a few cavalrymen of the Black Flag Army rushed to drive them away. This surging crowd had lost the chance to escape.
And in front, with the defensive formation of tens of thousands of people, it was impossible to open an opening to let the defeated troops go in first. Both sides were shouting, and at the last moment when they were about to step into a stone's throw, there were still a few among the surging troops.
The small team stopped and fought towards the black flag army from behind, but was immediately pushed away in the blood of the sea of people.
The running speed could no longer be stopped. When the two sides came into contact, there were crazy shouts everywhere. The defeated troops rushing in front knew that they would die, and they slashed wildly at their own people. The front line of contact was like a huge
The meat grinding wheel squeezed the people who were fighting at the front into powder and blood.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way -"
"I don't want to die either-"
"Yan Zhenguo surrendered to Golden Dog and acted against the will. You guys are doing whatever you want-"
"The Chinese army is coming! It can't be defeated! The Chinese army is coming! It can't be defeated -"
The human voices boiled in the fierce collision. For some people, these were the last words they cried.
To the west, the charging Zhong family army fell down amidst the flying of boulders and arrows. Zhong Lie led the army and had already collided with this sea of people, and the fighting was loud. The main force of the Zhong family army itself was also well-tested.
Elite soldiers are not afraid of such a charge. As time goes by, the huge battlefield is collapsing in crazy conflicts. Yan Zhenguo's 70,000-strong army is like being boiled in a flame of molten gold and corroded iron.
Zhenguo tried to ask for help from the Jurchens, but he only received a response from the Jurchens who strictly ordered them to defend. Sakhalin, the Jurchen general who led the troops to supervise the battle, did not dare to send his cavalry into a battlefield of 100,000 people that could collapse at any time.
.
To the north, the battle that took place was not so huge and crazy. It was already dark. The Jurchen formations were lit with fire and there was no movement. The Jurchen general sent by Lou Shi was named Mandu Yu, and he led two thousand Jurchen cavalry.
The troops have been fighting and harassing the Black Flag Army in the form of skirmishers.
These Jurchens were skilled in horseback riding and were in small groups. Some held torches and roared. Their formation was not close-knit, but the team of more than 2,000 people was like a seemingly loose but flexible school of fish, constantly swimming.
Walking on the edge of the battle formation, close to the main formation of the Black Flag Army, they lit rockets, flecked them in this direction, and then quickly left. The Black Flag Army held shields at the edge of the formation, waiting rigorously, and there were also some
The archers fought back, but it was extremely difficult to hit the loosely formed Jurchen cavalry.
On a hillside not far from the formation, Han Jing led two thousand cavalry, always keeping an eye on the wandering Jurchen troops. Under the protection of the occasional movement of the cavalry, a hot air balloon was currently flying in the sky, and several horses were flying in the sky.
The war horse dragged it with a long rope to change positions. The balloon did not fly high, but it was enough for observation. The observers above occasionally shouted, or set off fireworks, and lowered the bamboo tube along the rope to report changes in the battle situation.
As the Black Flag Army's main formation advanced, the two thousand Jurchens harassed them several times, trying to find them. They rushed over and fired arrows at the balloons, but they were blocked by Han Jing's team every time.
In the main formation of the Black Flag Army, the soldiers on the edge held up their shields, arranged in formation, and were moving cautiously. In the middle formation, Qin Shaoqian looked at the situation at the Jurchen camp and gestured to the side. The wooden cannon and iron cannon were unloaded from the pack horses.
Come down, put on wheels and push forward. Behind, on the battlefield where nearly 100,000 people are fighting, there are magnificent lights, but that is never the core, the enemy there is collapsing. What really decides everything is the over 10,000 people in front of you.
The Jurchen Army.
Just as the Black Flag Army began to advance towards the Jurchen camp, at a certain moment, the fire light lit up. It was not a little bit bright, but in an instant, on the originally silent Jurchen camp on the opposite slope, all the people
The fire light rose up.
The Black Flag Army is not timid in fighting, and Wanyan Loushi will not be timid in fighting either.
After this, the Jurchens moved.
**********
To the southeast, Yan Zhenguo's resistance force has collapsed.
People shouted and ran away, running around like headless flies. Some people chose to go anyway, shouted slogans, and began to rush and kill their own people with knives. The huge camp spread, and the situation was as chaotic as boiling water.
Escape had already occurred, and more people did not know where to flee for a while. Five thousand black flag troops had already come to kill them, setting off a bloody storm wherever they went, defeating layers of resistance. During the charge, Zhuo Zhuo
Yongqing's follower Mao Yishan failed to kill anyone. There were resisters, but too many surrendered. Some followed the Black Flag Army and rushed forward. There were also righteous generals who said they looked down on Yan Zhenguo's surrender.
Jin had long wanted to change things. Zhuo Yongqing only chopped down one person in the chaos, but did not kill him.
The smell of blood and fire was so strong that there were too many people. After several attacks, it made people dizzy. Zhuo Yongqing was a new recruit after all. Even though he trained a lot on weekdays, by this time, the huge mental stress had been exhausted.
When Xinli rushed to a pile of items, he paused for a moment, holding on to a wooden box and retching a few times. At this time, he saw someone moving in the darkness not far away.
It was a hiding soldier. He looked at Zhuo Yongqing and froze there. The next moment, the soldier made a sound of "ah--" and rushed towards him with his sword.
The moment the sword light hit his face, Zhuo Yongqing gritted his teeth and subconsciously swung the long sword according to his daily training movements. His body moved back a little bit, and then slashed forward with all his strength. Thick blood burst out.
The corpse jumped on his face. Zhuo Yongqing stood there, panting for a long time. The blood on his face made him feel sick. He looked back at the corpse on the ground and realized that the knife just now...
In fact, it passed right in front of his face.
Not far away, a crowd rushed, and someone shouted: "Where is Yan Zhenguo!? I ask you where Yan Zhenguo is - take me there!" Zhuo Yongqing tilted his head. The voice was Company Commander Luo Yeluo
, he usually seemed polite and cheerful, but there was a man nicknamed Luo Crazy. This time he went to the battlefield, and Zhuo Yongqing knew why. There were also his companions rushing past from behind. Some people looked at him, but no one
Paying attention to the corpse on the ground, Zhuo Yongqing wiped the blood from his face and followed in the direction of the squad leader.
When the five thousand black banner troops passed through Yanzhou City from the southeast to the west, Zhong Lie led the army to fight fiercely in the west, but the enemy had been killed and kept retreating. More than ten thousand troops faced tens of thousands, and not long after,
The opponent is about to be completely defeated, Zhong Lie fights extremely happily, and directs the army forward, it is almost a joy to watch.
Then, warning fireworks appeared from the city wall, and the sound of horse hooves came from the north!
This sudden Jurchen cavalry released arrows, accurately hitting the flanks of the Zhong family army that had not taken up a defensive position due to the charge. The thousand-man cavalry was still accelerating. Zhong Lie ordered his own cavalry to rush to intercept.
However, it was a step too late. The Jurchen cavalry of a thousand people split into two groups during the charge. One group of 400 people shot arrows while charging towards the hurriedly approaching Zhong family cavalry, while the other group of 600 cavalry had already rushed into the Zhong family cavalry.
The weak spot on the rear side of the home army was torn open with steel knives and arrows.
The rear of the Zhong family's army shrank rapidly. The six hundred cavalry rushed back and then quickly turned back. The four hundred cavalry and the Zhong family's cavalry circled and fired at each other. They passed by the front of Yan Zhenguo's army and met the six hundred cavalry not far away.
Merge. After these thousand riders merged, they shot another round of arrows and flew away.
Although Sakhalin's raid could not save the overall situation, it also caused the Zhong Family Army to suffer hundreds of casualties, which temporarily boosted the morale of some of Yan Zhenguo's troops. Just as the Black Flag Army was advancing all the way.
At this time, the fire had already lit up in the north.
The Jurchen cavalry rushed out of the camp like a tide. They brought with them a little light. In the night, they looked like two long dragons, rushing towards the main formation of the Black Flag Army. Soon after,
Arrows fell like rain from all directions!
The soldiers of the Black Flag Army held shields and defended fiercely. The sound of clanging sounds kept ringing. On the other side, two thousand cavalry led by Man Duyu also circled around like poisonous snakes. At this time, the Black Flag Army gathered,
The Jurchens were scattered, so it was of little significance to fight back with their arrows.
In the military formation, Qin Shaoqian looked at the Jurchen cavalry that had almost formed a huge semicircle in the darkness, and took a deep breath...
