Chapter 503: The encirclement and anti-encirclement of the bloody grassland battle (8)

The early winter wind in Kuai Cai Valley is still the same, and the early morning sun is much lazy to avoid the cold. The faint morning light has a bright color in the southeast. After a night of dispatching troops, Tian Peng already has a powerful counterattack force. Three thousand musket soldiers formed the Pin Army to use a square formation of thousands of people, and advance to the Pin Army positions four miles away in the shape of a Pin. Twenty mobile crossbows and cannons were pulled by pack horses in the center of the Pin formation. Zhang Youhe, deputy chief of the Pin Army’s personal guard camp, led two thousand cavalrymen to cruising on the east side of the formation, vigilantly monitoring the Jurchen Blue Flag Cavalry two miles away.

Kong Xiangyi, the Thousand General of the Pou Nu Army, who had fought all night, looked at the Pou Nu Army's army formation advancing south, slowly stood up with a heavy body covered with arrow rods, and observed the current battlefield in the morning light. The cruel scenes of the battle last night came to my mind. The Thousand General of the Pou Nu Army threw the * warriors, Ke Yunhai, used five or six * to blow the Thousand General of the Bag Bag, to pieces. The Pou Nu Army's attitude of rather than being a prisoner, was amazed by their enemies. The Jurchens' attack also temporarily stopped.

This temporary suspension does not mean that the Jurchens will withdraw their troops. More than 20,000 wounded soldiers will take a lot of time to transfer. If their attack stops, once the reinforcements of the Po Slave Army arrive, the wounded soldiers of the Enanguinong Red Flag who have not yet retreated will die without a place to bury them. Therefore, the attack of the Enanguinong Red Flag soldiers is even more fierce. On the contrary, the Enanguinong Blue Flag soldiers has a good reason to rest at this time. They have to put on their armor before attacking. Beile Yuetou is not willing to force the lazy battle of the Enanguinong Blue Flag soldiers, after all, they come to rescue countless casualties.

Although Yuetuo also knew that the Blue Flag Warriors in the Blue Flags were not the same as whether they could wear armor when facing the lead bullets fired from the Bonu Army's muskets. The first line of defense of the Blue Flag Warriors in the Bonu Army was indeed very much in the loss. Since it could not stop the Blue Flag Warriors in the Blue Flags from replacing their armor, Yuetuo still insisted on leaving the Three Thousand Blue Flags archers to cover the Red Flags attack. For Yuetuo's request, Manguertai expressed his acquiescence. In his opinion, the main attack was the Red Flag Warriors. It took nearly an hour for the Jurchens to reorganize the attack, which also gave Kong Xiangyi and the others a chance to breathe.

The arrows shot by the Jurchen attack just now gave considerable damage to the Pou Nu Army on the position. The arrows were dissatisfied with the arrows on the position less than 30 feet away, and the soldiers of the Pou Nu Army were also shot into hedgehogs by the Jurchen wolf-tooth arrows. Although the wolf-tooth arrows could not penetrate the armor of the Pou Nu Army soldiers, it was not easy to take out the arrows deep into the armor. They helped each other to cut off the arrows with a battle knife to reduce the weight of the arrows on their bodies. As the officers commanding the position, Kong Xiangyi began to count the ammunition in the hands of the Pou Nu Army.

It was only then that Kong Xiangyi felt the seriousness of the problem. The second line of defense, the Breaking Slave Army threw a large number of * and crossbows* to defeat the Jurchen soldiers who attacked at night. Even the ammunition in the hands of the musket soldiers was less than ten rounds, and this ammunition was not enough to deal with the Jurchens' attack again. For this reason, Kong Xiangyi once again counted the number of soldiers who could still fight. It didn't matter. Kong Xiangyi found that there were only 290 soldiers who could still fight with weapons.

In this night battle just now, more than 700 destroying slaves were killed on the second line of defense, and 135 seriously injured. As for the remaining people who were slightly injured, they were injured. Kong Xiangyi’s only reliance now is the terrain here, which is relatively steeper than the first line of defense. If he loses this defensive weapon, he can at least use stones to stop the enemy’s offensive pace. He does it at the right time. On the one hand, Kong Xiangyi led the poorly injured soldiers to carry the stones, and on the other hand, he started to carry the bodies of the seriously injured and the soldiers to the last line of defense.

Although the archer who was responsible for attacking again wanted to attack again, the archers who were in charge of the attacking blue flags had basically lost their strength because they kept pulling the bow and shooting archery, and they could not shoot again without more than half an hour of rest. Yuetuo knew very well that archers were also physically employed. After archers shot ten arrows in a row, they would lose their strength. Therefore, Yuetuo could only watch the good attack opportunity pass quietly, and he could only wait patiently.

Yue Tuo waited until the hour of Mao. Seeing the sky bright, Yue Tuo dared not wait any longer. At this time, the Jurchen soldiers were busy rescuing their injured companions on the battlefield. As for the soldiers who died in front of the Pou Nu Army's position, they had no time to take care of it. In the eyes of these Jurchen soldiers, the Pou Nu Army had been trapped on the hill, and rescued the people first and then took away the dead brothers later. The Jurchen army, who had completely exposed the intention of the battle, no longer hid their whereabouts. They set up torches and re-arranged the array, intending to attack the Pou Nu Army's position for the last blow.

As usual, when the Jurchen Blue Flag archers wanted to shoot arrows on the position, they heard the sound of arrows rubbing against the air, and the sound of arrows rubbing against the air made the pores explode. The Power Army on the third line of defense seriously injured soldiers and failed to escape the attack of the arrow rain. In the faint morning light, the seriously injured Power Army soldiers were covered with arrow rods, and they were already in a coma and could not see the rising sun again. The Jurchen Red Flag soldiers who had been preparing to stop at the foot of the mountain carried the long ladder of the attack to launch the final attack towards the Power Army on the mountain.

The wolf-toothed arrow shot by the Jurchen archers was very powerful. Kong Xiangyi's last counterattack power was consumed half by the three thousand archers from the foot of the mountain. Kong Xiangyi, who could no longer support the thin line of defense, also made the worst plan. Kong Xiangyi ordered all * and * to be smashed into the crowd of people who attacked the Red Flag. He knew that as long as the front attack was chaotic, the casualties of the front companions would deepen their fear in the attack.

Each Pou Nu Army who could fight had three muskets placed around them, and there was also a wounded soldier lying to load them up. In addition to ammunition, there was also a suicide knife at their hands. They untied the throat armor on their necks and gave themselves the last pleasure when preparing the enemy to break the formation. The long ladder of the attack with the red flag was already on the protective wall of the Pou Nu Army. The soldiers of the Pou Nu Army who raised the muskets to fight back were no longer able to push the enemy's long ladder. They numbly raised the muskets and shot at the nearest enemy.

Kong Xiangyi looked at his subordinates who had suffered too much blood and had a slow reaction, and he also had a premonition of the arrival of doomsday. He picked up his sword and rushed to the northeast. Three red flag soldiers had just jumped into the place, and were slashing with the Po Nu Army guarding here. "Woo... Woo... Woo!" A long horn sound echoed in the open battlefield, and the reinforcements led by Tian Peng advanced to the north. They formed an attacking formation, with the crossbows carried by the pack horses in the middle, and the two thousand cavalry led by Zhang Youhe, deputy general manager of the guard camp, supported the rear of the army.

Although in the dark night before dawn, the Pou Nu Army, which was familiar with the terrain, attacked the army and declared their determination to the enemy with a neat and dull sound of stepping on the ground. During the attack, Beile Yuetuo, the main force of the Enneagram and the 4,000 war soldiers on the Enneagram and Red Flag, had to order the withdrawal. Last night, Beilemanguertai, caught the Pou Nu Army off guard, did not mean that the Pou Nu Army was weak and could be bullied. In front of him, the number of Pou Nu soldiers in this position was only a little over 2,000. The main force of the Enneagram and the 4,000 war soldiers on the Enneagram and Red Flag had been gnawed all night, but they could not wipe out the remnants of the Pou Nu Army here.

If the reinforcements of the Pou Slave Army arrive at the battlefield, the cavalry will run very quickly. The infantry of the Pou Slave Army fighting against the Pou Slave Army is definitely the most ugly one. Yue Tuo knew very well that Manguertai had already brought out the main wounded soldiers of the Inner Red Flag to achieve the battle goal of rescuing the Inner Red Flag. Therefore, the Inner Red Flag is still fighting with the remaining troops of the Pou Slave Army here, and Manguertai will never extend a helping hand. Here, the Pou Slave Army is only a little more than four miles away, and the Pou Slave Army will not arrive here for more than half an hour.

Beile Yuetuo, the Inlaid Red Flag, was also a ruthless person. After judging the situation, he decided to withdraw his troops. The Jurchens did not dare to cut off their heads and ask for rewards for the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Dead Slave Army. It was not the Jurchens' benevolence and righteousness, but the fact that Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Destroyed Slave Army, had no bottom line for revenge. In the eyes of the Jurchens, once the grassland fox wolves angered, the Jurchens' fate must be very ugly. At least the grassland fox wolves can still pay for the redeem after capturing the senior Jurchen officer. If they completely anger the grassland fox wolves, it will be difficult to survive in the future.

As a senior Jurchen officer who did not want to cut off the heads of the soldiers of the slave army to seek credit, it would be less interesting to have the Jurchen soldiers to get into trouble. Yue Tuo was also focusing on whether he could withdraw his troops quickly, and he had no energy to take care of the bodies of the soldiers of the slave army. Not to mention that the bodies of the soldiers of the slave army did not have time to take care of them, even the bodies of the soldiers of the soldiers of the red flag and the blue flag were not enough to deal with. After all, more than 20,000 wounded soldiers in the red flag need to be transferred, and it would not be possible to be moved in a short while. Until Yue Tuo ordered the withdrawal of the troops, more than 1,000 wounded soldiers were finally transferred to the camp of the blue flag.

The Qian Zong Kong Xiangyi, who was stabbed by the Jurchen spear, had just used his last strength to stab the sword into the enemy's chest. The red flag-inlaid warrior pressed him to the ground weakly, and Kong Xiangyi didn't even have a chance to commit suicide. Just when he was desperate, the unique pace of the Pou Nu Army made Kong Xiangyi see the arrival of hope. The Jurchen retreated and gave him the strength to push the enemy away. When Kong Xiangyi struggled to get up, he only saw six or seven Pou Nu Army soldiers stained with blood. A pair of soldiers with eyes blinded by the enemy groped with a short knife on their body, giving him the last knife on his neck.
