At dawn, Alibai led 5,000 Jurchen soldiers and began to search along the hillsides and valleys on both sides of the official road to eliminate ambushed enemies. The two sides encountered each other on the hillside on the north side of the official road and had a fierce battle. Lin Hu led
After the soldiers of the Luoyan Army condescended to kill hundreds of people with bows and arrows, Alibai's soldiers and horses rushed up the hillside, and they had to evacuate quickly. The hill on the side of the collapse of the official road was occupied by Alibai's soldiers and horses. At the same time,
The valley and another hill on the south side were also occupied.
Ali Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he expected, the number of soldiers and horses intercepted by the opponent was not large. They just ambush near this steep official road in advance and caught his side by surprise. The hills on both sides
After being occupied, the operation of clearing the official road of debris can begin.
Tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers took turns to go up and began to clean up the mud and rocks on the official road on a large scale. Although they did not have suitable tools, after all, tens of thousands of people took turns to work, carrying weapons, digging and digging with their hands. In short,
It's useful for everything. The terrain is also very suitable for quickly clearing mud and rocks. After all, there is a slope on the south side of the official road. You don't need to drag the mud and rocks elsewhere. You can just throw them directly into the valley on the other side, which is quite efficient.
When clearing the mud and rocks, Ali Bai stood on the slope above to supervise the whole process. He also saw the appearance of hundreds of bloody Jurchen soldiers' corpses buried under the mud and rocks. It was really terrible to see. There was no way to bury these corpses.
They were all thrown into the southern slopes along with the mud and rocks. Like tens of thousands of other Jurchen soldiers, they came from the far north, but lost their lives in the desolate mountains of Dazhou, without even the most basic dignity.
, so they were buried in the valley indiscriminately.
Although two accidents occurred during the cleanup process, and the debris on the hillside above collapsed twice, injuring more than a hundred soldiers working on it. However, this did not stop the rapid progress of the cleanup operation. When the morning sun began to rise,
At that time, more than half of the landslide area of dozens of steps had been cleared, and it was estimated that the entire official road would be unobstructed by this hour. The Jurchen soldiers immediately disembarked and waited, and only then did they feel calmer.
Alibai couldn't relax in his heart. He knew that the danger had not passed yet. If he left this official road early and the army left here quickly, that would be the real safety. If he didn't leave this place for a moment, he couldn't take it lightly. Although the official road was very
It will be broken through soon, but although the number of ambushed enemies is small, they may cause trouble again. Under such terrain conditions, they may hide on the hillsides on both sides of the official road at any time to conduct a sneak attack.
The good news is that except for the terrain of the official road here, there is no other place where they can create this kind of landslide. Although the official road passes through here, it still circles between the hills, but it is all in the
In the valleys between the low hills, there is a certain distance from the hillside. And those hills are all slopes with gentle slopes. It is a mudslide at first glance, even if a big stone is deliberately pushed down from the top of the mountain, it will roll down.
If they don't reach the valley, the lush trees, grass and thorns on the hillside are enough to block them. However, even so, if the opponent lurks in the dense forest and thorns on the hillside to release cold arrows, it will be very troublesome.
thing.
Ali Bai decided to solve this problem in advance. He decided to clear every hill on both sides of the official road and stationed soldiers and horses for temporary defense.
In order to prevent the enemy from hiding, drive these troublemakers away from the hills on both sides of the official road to prevent them from coming out to cause trouble. Although it takes a lot of trouble, sharpening the knife will not waste time cutting firewood. In order to ensure that the army can come out of the mountain smoothly at one time,
This must be done.
Alibai mobilized another 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Chinese Army to form a team of 10,000 people, and conducted a comprehensive search of the hills on both sides of the official road in front. Not long after the operation started, there was a harvest. Just northeast of the collapsed official road
Less than three miles away, in the dense forest on the slope of another hill, traces of a small group of soldiers and horses of the Luoyan Army who had fled here to hide were found. After receiving the report, Ali Bai rushed to the front in person and ordered the soldiers and horses to enter the forest.
Carry out cleanup.
Hidden on that hillside was Lin Hu and his men who had retreated here before dawn. News of the encirclement and suppression by a large number of soldiers from the other side had already been discovered, but this time, Lin Hu could not go here, this was his choice
This is the second position to block the enemy. If you evacuate this position, the rear will no longer have a suitable position to block the enemy.
Lin Hu ordered his brothers to use the cover of the trees to carry out guerrilla operations. If the Jurchens are familiar with fighting in the mountains and forests, the Luoyan Army is actually not weak. The Luoyan Army's daily training includes mountain combat items. The overall strength of the Luoyan Army is not
Strong, they are facing the imperial court's suppression at any time. Therefore, Lin Jue specially added training in combat methods once the stronghold is occupied and the soldiers and horses are forced to retreat into the mountains and forests. Naturally, he can deal with the opponent's large-scale mountain and forest suppression.
The main focus is guerrilla warfare. Make use of the terrain, attack quickly, hide quickly, move around and attack, and defeat them one by one. At this moment, it comes in handy.
A thousand soldiers of the Luoyan Army shuttled between the trees to attack, breaking through the opponent's search defense line, jumping in and out of the opponent's encirclement and suppression circle, which really made the Jurchens think hard. But Alibai is not a vegetarian.
He had many soldiers and horses, so he used hunting tactics. Once the enemy was discovered, a large number of soldiers and horses surrounded him. Although the opponent was able to kill some of his soldiers and horses, they had to be compressed by the large number of soldiers and horses that followed.
At this time, the Jurchen soldiers and horses had trapped Lin Hu and others in a dense forest with a radius of several hundred steps below the hillside.
Nearly 9,000 Jurchen soldiers surrounded the dense forest and launched the final attack. At this moment, Lin Hu only had more than 800 people left. Lin Hu knew the danger of the situation, but he was not afraid. He came to execute it.
This mission is to be prepared to die in battle. Lin Hu knows this better than anyone. The reason why they hide in this dense forest is not entirely because of the other party's force, but because they are originally
You have to come here. This is a location relatively close to the official road. There are a large number of trees, vines, firewood and other materials that were cut down by Lin Hu and his men before. This is an important tool for Lin Hu to implement the interception plan.
"Wang Huai, Li Dapeng, each of you will lead two hundred brothers to carry all the firewood and trees in the forest to the official road and arrange them. The rest of you will follow me. You have to move quickly." Looking at the countless Jurchens who loomed in between the trees.
Lin Hu shouted in a deep voice at the sight of the soldier.
Two captains, Wang Huai and Li Dapeng, said hurriedly: "General Lin Hu, after your humble post is over, the young general can take his people to arrange the arrangements. It's too dangerous here."
Lin Hu shouted coldly: "Don't say anything. It is because of the danger behind the break that I want to stay. Do you think I, Lin Hu, was the one who put my brother in danger?"
If they don't move quickly, they can't do anything if they surround us. Remember, don't forget the kerosene. Sprinkle kerosene on all the hillsides on both sides."
While the two captains were still waiting to speak, Lin Hu stared at him and shouted, "Hurry up and go."
Wang Huai and Li Dapeng were shocked, bowed and said with hands in their hands: "Yes! Take care, little general."
The two waved their hands and quickly withdrew into the depths of the forest with their four hundred soldiers. Lin Hu turned around, staring at the clearly identifiable enemy soldiers in the woods ahead, and said in a deep voice to the people around him:
"Don't panic, wait until they get close and hit them. Give them a taste of the melon first."
There are still more than 400 soldiers following him. Everyone knows that they may not be able to survive today. The opponent has too many people and is definitely no match for them. They are somewhat panicked in their hearts. But looking at Lin Hu's calm expression, they are determined.
They felt a little comforted by their body shape. After all, they followed Lin Hu here with the intention of death, and everyone who came was not a coward. The young general was not afraid of death, so what did he fear?
Half of the four hundred people carried melon grenades. They were hundreds of small melon grenades that Gao Muqing squeezed out from between his teeth, in order to make Lin Hu and others' attack smoother. Half of them were used in the previous bombing of the slope.
, there are still more than two hundred of them. At this moment, they all took out, opened the top cover, pulled out the fuse, and waited for orders. Two hundred soldiers without grenades were ready with repeating crossbows or bent bows and arrows.
The spring sun shines down from between the trees, and wisps of light illuminate the forest alternately between light and dark. The weeds and fallen leaves on the ground are mottled and shiny. In the quiet forest, the rustling of footsteps can be heard very clearly. For a moment, the forest
Enemy traces appeared on the front, left, center and three sides of the gap at the same time, and the crescent knife in the Jurchen's hand sparkled in the sunlight.
"Kill!" Lin Hu roared, Huo Zhezi lit the melon grenade in his hand, and then threw the smoking small melon into the crowd dozens of steps away. The others also acted in unison, and two hundred small melons
In an instant, it was scattered in three directions dozens of steps away. Crossbows and bows were also shot out at the same time.
"Boom, boom." There was a loud explosion. Leaves and soil scattered in the air into a shower of flowers. Black smoke rose in the forest. The trees broke with a crash, and leaves and branches flew everywhere. This close range throw was too small and too small.
In the dense forest space, it seemed that the melon grenade was more powerful. The flying fragments were like sharp blades flying around, cutting open the flesh and blood of the surrounding Jurchen soldiers and cutting off countless branches, leaves and vegetation. The surrounding area was filled with black smoke, and it was difficult to see.
See things.
But just a moment later, countless Jurchen soldiers rushed out from the black smoke. Although the melon grenade caused hundreds of casualties, more soldiers still rushed over regardless of the black smoke and fallen leaf smoke. From
The Jurchen soldiers rushed towards them in the smoke, holding crescent knives and maces, with ferocious expressions like mountain ghosts in the forest.
"Kill!" Lin Hu roared with veins popping up on his forehead. The tortoise box in his palm smashed the heads and faces of two Jurchen soldiers a dozen steps away with a loud bang. At the same time, he connected with his left hand, and another tortoise box exploded with a loud bang.
The three Jurchen soldiers fell violently.
Around them, four hundred Luoyan Army soldiers had already drawn their Greedy Wolf Swords and engaged the Jurchen soldiers. In just a moment, the forest fell into a bloody hand-to-hand fight.
