Chapter 1659 Babner - Breaking the Line of Defense
A cute rabbit emerged from the ground, its eyes rolling around, as if it was observing whether there were any natural enemies around it. It observed for a while, but found no natural enemies, and began to eat the nearby grass. But it did not know
Surprisingly, not far away, a weasel was staring at it with its small eyes, and slowly approached, as if it wanted to let it make its own food for the day. Soon, the weasel was very close to the rabbit,
Thinking that he could catch the rabbit, he jumped out suddenly. The rabbit also noticed the weasel in an instant and ran forward. But it couldn't run as fast as the weasel and was about to be caught. But something happened, the weasel suddenly stopped
It came down, turned around and ran away. The rabbit noticed that the weasel's aura disappeared, stopped and turned around to look behind him, as if he was wondering why it suddenly stopped chasing. At this time, it suddenly found that the earth was shaking, and was about to think about why.
A behemoth has arrived in front of it, and it knows nothing after that.
"Feiyun seemed to have kicked some animal just now, was it a rabbit or something?" The knight running quickly felt that the horse under him was shaking unnaturally and said.
"Whatever it is! Do you still want to stop and take a look?" another person said.
"Of course not. His Highness was so solemn when he handed over the errands, and the time given to us was so short, how could we stop? Besides, the army is not far behind. If we stop, we may be overtaken by the army. With Your Highness,
I've been so anxious these past few days that I wouldn't have killed both of us on the spot! I don't dare to stop." The man who started speaking seemed to remember some scary situation and shuddered all over.
"I didn't expect that His Highness would be more severe than all the generals who had commanded our Habayashi Zuowei in the past. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance," another person said.
"Perhaps it is because of His Highness's status that he is so strict. Forget it, stop talking about it and concentrate on completing the errands assigned by His Highness. This place is not far from the Adelai River, so be careful."
After saying this, the two stopped talking and stared at their surroundings intently.
At this time, at the place where the poor rabbit was kicked to death, the shaking of the earth had become stronger and stronger, and all the animals within a radius of ten miles had fled. After a while, a dark cloud came from the south, with a rapid
Rush past here at high speed and continue to rush north.
This is a cavalry, a very elite cavalry. All the soldiers are riding horses, wearing armor and helmets on their heads. At this time, this elite cavalry is concentrating on driving the horses under them, driving them with the utmost force.
They rushed north as fast as they could, as if there was some monster chasing them behind them.
"Hurry! Soldiers, hurry! We must arrive before noon today, and His Highness King Min must be rescued!" But among this cavalry, there was a small group of people running beside the large group of people, and they shouted loudly from time to time. This
There is nothing wrong with the words, but the voice that uttered these words is very strange in the military, because it is the voice of a woman.
"Your Highness, the soldiers of the Habayashi Left Guard and Kingo's Front Guard have known for a long time that they must rescue His Highness King Min, and they also know that they must arrive at noon today. You don't need to shout anymore. Please rest more."
A female guard suddenly said.
"Hey, when I think that Uncle Min Wang is still besieged by the Indians and may be captured or even killed by the Indians at any time, I just want the soldiers to hurry up." He was wearing a close-fitting fine chainmail and a golden headband.
Yun Zhi, wearing a helmet and an Ili horse under the seat, slowed down the horse, wiped her sweat with a towel, and spoke.
"But Your Highness, the soldiers are already driving the horses to run as fast as they can. Any faster and the horses will be exhausted. Moreover, they still have to think about rushing to the Adelai River and breaking through the obstruction of the seals. Even if there are still
A replacement horse, but the replacement horse is very tired from running so fast, and no matter how fast it is, it will not be able to charge when it reaches the place." The guard who had just persuaded her said again.
"That's what you said. It's just that, let the soldiers be a little slower, but not too slow. They must arrive near Uncle Min Wang's camp before noon."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I just asked Commander Guo. Even if it's slower, we can arrive near His Highness King Min's camp before noon."
"That's good." Yunzhi whispered to the soldiers to pass on the order. After a while, the whole army slowed down a bit, but they were still running northward quickly.
"Your Highness, I still feel that you should not lead troops to rescue His Highness King Min. General Lan has so many soldiers and horses, why did he choose the Yulin left guard and Jinwu avant-garde led by His Highness? It is obviously the first time for Your Highness to go into battle, and there is no battle.
Formation experience." The female guard added.
"Yes, Your Highness, it is your first time to go into battle. How can you have as much experience as others? It is not easy to rescue His Highness King Min and you have to deal with many Indians. General Lan really should choose other guard posts." Another one.
The female guard also said, but everyone else remained silent. These two guards are special. They have experienced life and death with His Highness, so they can speak. Others are seeking death if they speak, but they dare not speak out.
"Sister Wei, Sister Wang, and General Lan naturally can only order these two guards, because apart from the Shangzhi Guards, which other guard has all the soldiers who have horses and can ride them? The rescue of Uncle Min Wang pays attention to the word "quick", so of course he must choose
Of course, the cavalry can only choose the straight guard. The other two top straight guards, Kingo rear guard and Fujun right guard, are both on the east side of Daidong. They can't get there at the moment, so they can only choose Habayashi left guard and Kingo avant-garde. And General Lan is not particularly reassured.
Gu, didn't you send Lin Shen to assist Gu?" Yun Zhi didn't care and explained with a smile.
"Lin Yurong, he is just a guard commander and a general of the vassal state. How can he command more than 20,000 elite soldiers?" the female guard asked again.
Yun Zhi originally had a nonchalant expression on her face, but when she heard these words, she instantly became serious. "Although General Lin Shen doesn't command many troops, since General Lan trusts him and sends him to assist Gu, you can't despise him like this."
He alone believes in General Lan's vision, and naturally he also believes in General Lin. If you talk about him in such a frivolous tone again, and call General Lin by his name again, I will severely punish you!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand your mistake." The two female guards said hurriedly. Others also saluted to express their apology.
Yunzhi was about to say something else when she glanced around and saw the sent out horse running towards her. She quickly stopped and waited for the horse to come over. The horse under the horse's seat still had some rabbit fur on its left leg, so it was too late.
Wipe it off. He stopped in front of Yunzhi, bowed and said: "Your Highness, five miles ahead of here is Yinlu's camp. Yinlu should have been prepared for the arrival of reinforcements and arranged arrangements behind the camp.
A line of defense. I also saw Yinlu’s scouts and retreated after meeting them."
"Only five miles away? There are so many woods here that you can't even see them." Yunzhi said something and quickly ordered: "Quickly order the whole army to stop!"
The order was quickly conveyed to the entire army, and the soldiers gradually slowed down their horses. When they came to a complete stop, they were only about three miles away from the Yinlu's defense line. The trees here had been cut down, and they could see the Yinlu's camp and soldiers at a glance.
Of course, the Indians could also see them. Yunzhi felt a little uncomfortable, but since they had been seen, they did not order the soldiers to retreat, but ordered them to rest three miles away from the defense line.
"The sound of artillery fire is still coming from the north, and the Indians are still dispatching troops to the north. You can even hear the shouts of killing. Although you can't hear the language of which language it is, since there are still shouts of killing, they are still dispatching troops.
It means that Uncle Min Wang's camp has not been captured yet, which is a good thing." Yunzhi stood on a high ground, holding up her clairvoyance with both hands and looking to the north. But it was far away from Zhu's camp, so she couldn't see clearly.
It can be inferred from what we see in the Yinlu camp.
"Your Highness, judging from the movements of the seals, it seems that they are about to break into the camp." Such a sentence suddenly came from beside her.
"Is Lin Shen coming?" Yunzhi said, and then without asking him how he made his judgment, he immediately said: "Since the Yinlu are about to enter the camp, then Min King is in danger, so he should immediately lead troops to attack the Yinlu's defense line.
,Rescue the Right Army!"
"Your Highness, I don't think so. I think the soldiers should be fed and the horses rested before attacking the Indian defense line." Lin Yurong said.
"Now, King Min is in danger, how can he wait for such a long time?" Yunzhi said in a deep voice, barely suppressing her anxiety.
"His Royal Highness King Min and General Mu are both people who have been in military formations for a long time. It is not yet noon, how can we lose the camp now? Our army can also order the soldiers to send out a signal to tell the right army in the north that reinforcements have arrived.
Boost the morale of the soldiers, and they will surely be able to hold on for a while longer."
"Moreover," Lin Yurong continued before Yunzhi could speak: "People can still go into battle reluctantly, but horses have been running for a long time and their physical strength has been very exhausted. How can they go into battle again?"
Yun Zhi stopped talking. People can go into battle and kill the enemy no matter how much they encourage them, but horses cannot. Seeing that Yun Zhi stopped talking, Lin Yurong continued: "Thirdly, I have one more thing to tell His Highness first.
After a while, when we attack the Yinluo camp, the Yinluo will definitely try their best to block it. In order to save His Highness King Min, our army will also try our best to break through the Yinluo's defense line. This battle will be very bloody, and I am afraid that Your Highness will not be able to bear it. So I am the official.
I beg your Highness, when facing a battle, please listen to your subordinates and follow their orders."
Hearing this, Yunzhi put down her clairvoyance and stared at Lin Yurong's delicate face. She thought about what she was about to say, and suddenly heard the female guard beside her shout: "What a joke! Your Highness is so anxious to rescue His Highness King Min, how can you take care of it?"
Bloody? Why do you look down upon His Highness so much? "
But Lin Yurong ignored him and just lowered her head facing Yunzhi and remained silent. The female guard became even more angry when she saw this situation. She was about to reprimand again but was stopped by Yunzhi. Not only that, Yunzhi also said: "
It’s up to you. Although I will be commanded by Gu on the surface, I will listen to whatever you say.”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Yurong bowed, discussed a few other matters with Yunzhi, and bowed to leave.
"Your Highness, are you so confident in handing over the command to him?" asked another female guard.
"This is the first time that I have led more than 20,000 troops to deal with so many enemies alone. I know that I can't command well without experience. Since General Lin is a person whom General Lan trusts, why not leave the command to him for the time being?"
"Well, maybe General Lan will also make mistakes."
"It is true that General Blue may be mistaken, but the possibility of General Blue being mistaken is not greater than the possibility of being alone and not commanding well."
"Your Highness,"
"You don't need to say anything. I have made up my mind. I will leave this battle to General Lin Shen to command!"
…
…
"Why didn't the Ming army attack yet?" Harlan stood on his own defense line, looking at the Ming army on the opposite side with his naked eyes without the need for clairvoyance, and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Is it possible that they don't know that Zhu is about to be captured alive?" said a subordinate general next to him.
"Impossible! It's impossible for the generals of the Ming army to not have what they call clairvoyance. Even if they can't see Zhu's barracks, they can still see our army's cannons roaring and our army deploying troops and generals. You can guess
I guess Zhu is already in danger. And since we are here to rescue him, we should rescue him as soon as possible regardless of whether we know that Zhu will not be able to hold on anymore." Harlan shook his head and said.
Everyone put forward other opinions one after another, but Harun rejected them one by one. Just as they were racking their brains to come up with a reasonable reason, they suddenly saw the Ming army soldiers getting up from the ground, getting on their horses, and lining up. Although they still didn't know what the reason was,
Why the army was so unhurried, but everyone stopped talking and rushed to the army they led to wait for the Ming army to attack.
"From the flags of this army, can you tell which army they are?" After everyone had left, Harun suddenly asked the adjutant beside him.
"Judging from the flag, the army should be the Habayashi Zuowei and Jingo avant-garde among the most elite Jangzhiwei of the Ming Dynasty. But I have never seen the flag of that general, and I don't know who it is. But according to the pattern, it should be
A member of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty." the adjutant replied.
"A member of the royal family? Another prince?" Harun said with a smile.
"It may not be a prince, maybe a princess. I heard that a sister of the Emperor of China and her husband also came to India, and she and her husband both commanded the army." The adjutant said that the news reached his ears somehow.
Grapevine.
"A princess? Or the sister of the current emperor of Ming Dynasty?" Harun smiled even more happily. "It would be great if it was really her. According to their calendar, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is thirty-six years old this year, and his sister is also
Not very old, probably around thirty, not very old yet."
"Haha, there is a young Ming princess. If she really leads the army, she must be captured alive. She must not be killed. And she must be captured alive and intact." Others also laughed obscenely.
But soon, they stopped laughing.
The Ming army was still unhappy when preparing to attack, and even lined up a little slowly. The Yinlu on the opposite side had already been ready, and were still laughing at the Ming army's slow movements.
But with the sound of a drum, the soldiers of the Ming army who were as slow as a snail just now seemed to have suddenly evolved and rushed towards the Yinlu formation like a tiger descending the mountain. At the same time, the crossbowmen in the horse infantry raised their bows diagonally upwards.
Arrows, countless arrows turned around in the air and then fell towards Yinlu's defense line!
As if in an instant, countless arrows appeared on the heads of the Yinlu soldiers who had been laughing at the Ming army a moment ago. They fell down before many people could react, and they fell on them very quickly.
Many people were laughing at the Ming army one moment, but their bodies were full of arrows the next moment. Their laughter turned into screams in an instant, and they continued one after another, far more touching than the laughter just now.
Harlan was also almost hit by an arrow. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and ran under a nearby tent as quickly as possible to escape. However, there were also many arrows stuck in the tent.
Accompanied by the arrows, the Ming army cavalry rushed over at extremely fast speeds. Although everyone of the more than 20,000 soldiers of Yulin Zuowei and Jinwu avant-garde can ride a horse, not everyone can become a cavalryman. There are only four out of ten thousand households.
There are thousands of cavalry families, and those who can become cavalry are those with the most superb riding skills. They crossed the three miles of land at a speed that exceeded the imagination of the Indian soldiers and rushed to the front of the defense line.
Only then did the Yinlu soldiers react and began to prepare for the Ming army's attack. Although they were caught off guard and were shot to death and injured many people, they still had a large number of people and a line of defense to defend, so they were still confident in blocking the Ming army.
Many Indian soldiers also took out their bows and crossbows and prepared to shoot arrows.
But at this moment, the Ming cavalry suddenly took out a musket from behind, without aiming, and fired projectiles at the Yinlu defense line. In an instant, the entire defense line was shrouded in smoke, and screams rang out again behind the smoke.
; Most of the things made of wood were broken and scattered on the ground.
After firing this round of projectiles, the Ming army soldiers carried the muskets on their backs again, jumped over the broken things on horseback, and at the same time raised their spears and stabbed them forward. The screams were louder than before.
At this time, the mounted infantrymen had also arrived in front of the Yinlu formation, climbed over the obstacles made of earth and rocks, and started fighting with the Yinlu soldiers. The Yinlu soldiers had just been attacked by arrows, projectiles and spears, causing many casualties.
There was some confusion. The Ming army attacked and was unable to defend itself. Many people were killed by the Ming army and a few fled to the rear. In this way, the Ming army captured the first line of defense.
However, the soldiers of the Ming army did not stay in the first line of defense to repair, but immediately rushed to the second line of defense. Someone in the second line of defense had also been injured by arrows just now, and there was a little confusion. In addition, there were many
The soldiers of the Ming army followed the Yinlu soldiers who escaped. The smoke produced by the projectiles glanced over and made them unable to see clearly for a while. The Ming army rushed into the second line of defense. After fighting hard, the Ming army quickly captured it.
