The fire trembled and jumped in the wind and rain, swallowing the gray and black leads and sinking into the steel.
There was a loud sound of flames spraying in the cold wind, and the iron barrel vibrated toward the rear. The iron ball pushed through obvious lines in the gray rain and crossed the fighting battlefield.
The burning fuse on the cannonball was soaked by the rain in mid-air, but the iron ball still fell towards the head of the person. The sound of the impact made the figure fly in the rain, and rolled down the crowd with splashing blood, and muddy water splashed everywhere.
Amid the noise, the Jurchen veteran who rushed forward did not blink, nor did he pay attention to the fall of his companions. His body was stretching in the most powerful way, raising his arms, stepping, and waving, and his arms also cut through the gray.
The rain curtain split countless raindrops between the sky and the earth, and the iron spear, which was longer than the arm, was flying in the air.
Following one iron spear were dozens of similar iron spears. They roared over the battlefield, rushed through the collision fronts, and passed by the black flags fluttering in the rain. Some of them were raising their flags.
The shield flew forward with heavy inertia, passing through the chest of the Chinese soldier and piercing the blood-stained corpse on the ground.
Blood mixed with the rain from the mountains washed down, and the collision of iron shields at the forward position of the two armies not far away had become crooked.
"Fire! Replace with solid bullets!" Mao Yishan shouted in the rain, "Second Battalion and Second Company, follow us!"
Another round of throwing spears flew from the front. The iron spears were stuck on the ground in front of them, twisted and jagged. There were Chinese soldiers whose bodies were stuck there, with blood pouring from their mouths and shouting arrogantly. Several warriors in the army
He held up his shield to protect the medical officer, but not long after, the struggling body turned into a corpse. The iron spear thrown from a distance pierced the shield, making a loud noise, but the soldier held up the iron shield and did not move at all.
Then another reserve team came up and marched with their shields raised, and loud and permeating noises could be heard from time to time.
At the same time, the bases of several cannons were pierced in the muddy water, and shells were fired from time to time, blasting into the rear of the enemy's formation. There were already explosive shells in the Chinese army, but in principle, the bombardment of the cannon bore ignited the fuse outside the shell, relying on
The fuse delays the ignition of the explosive in the shell, so the ammunition does not have much lethality in the rain.
At this moment, the confrontation on the front line returned to the phalanx confrontation more than ten years ago.
The wall of shields was pushed together on the front line of the battle. The companions at the rear kept moving forward, trying to push the opponent down. The spears penetrated the gaps between the shields towards the enemy. The Chinese soldiers occasionally threw grenades, and some grenades exploded.
, but most of them still fell into the muddy water. In this valley, the water had reached the knees of the opposing sides. Some soldiers who were pushing fell into the water, and even drowned alive because they could not get up.
The heavy rain swallowed up the power of the crossbow. Mao Yishan threw the cannonballs that could still be used and the grenades that had been saved with great difficulty into the battle. The Jurchens chose to throw sharp and heavy spears, and the spears jumped over the shield array and then plunged into the battle.
Being in a crowd has become a sharp weapon for harvesting lives.
This was the method of attack that the Jurchen general Nie Lili had already decided on. At this moment when the decisive gap in technical strength had not yet widened, the tactics he chose had indeed narrowed the exchange ratio between the two sides.
Just after the Eagle Mouth Rock fell, the two sides officially started fighting. The number of casualties on both sides climbed at a staggering speed. The shouts and roars on the front lines made people tremble. They were all veterans.
, all have a firm will that is not afraid of death.
In the blink of an eye, the companions in the team fell, and the reserve team at the rear had already pressed forward. The reactions of both sides were equally rapid. But it was the soldiers of the Chinese Army who broke the deadlock first. Although the Jurchens' spears could hit the Chinese Army
The rear of the shield formation caused huge casualties, but after all, grenades were the real weapon to break the formation. As two lucky grenades exploded on the backs of the shield-holding warriors in front, the Jurchen formation suddenly dented!
The shield array rushed forward, and the sharp swords and guns were killed along the opening. These Jurchen warriors were truly elite. Some warriors even wore fish-scale armor, but they were knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Another round of spears flew overhead, and the Jurchens' lines separated on both sides after paying a huge price, and the reinforcements from behind rushed up!
The total number of soldiers was only two thousand, and the formations filled the valley. The dozens of people on the front line of each battle, plus the companions in the rear, could only form a hedge of one or two hundred people at a time. Therefore, although those who retreated meant defeat, it was definitely not possible.
There will not be a situation like a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, where the formation will completely collapse as soon as it breaks down. At this moment, the enemy side paid the loss of 20 to 30 people, dragging the fighting front line to the bottom.
Both the forward line and the defensive line became distorted at this moment, and the fighting in front of the battle array began to become chaotic. He screamed loudly, and people attacked one side of the front line. The Chinese army's front line was due to the central front
Pushing, the strength on both sides weakened slightly, and the Jurchens' flanks began to push over. At this moment, they tried to turn into a cloth bag and engulf the Chinese army in the center.
"Jurchens are victorious"
"Blast them!"
The artillery shells that could still be fired crashed up the mountain wall, bringing rocks and smashing them into the crowd. Two cannons misfired in the humid environment. The logistics soldiers ran over to inform them that they had run out of grenades. The reserve team of the Chinese Army automatically
Going down the hillside, the Jurchen formation pressed up from the bottom of the valley. The guns roared and the artillery shells roared. The fierce battle between the two sides was pushed to a fever pitch in a moment.
…
Facing the wind and rain in the mountains, the specially-made arrows streaked across the sky, making a sharp sound with the air.
In the undulating mountains and forests, the Jurchen scouts who were running carefully noticed such movements and looked through the gaps in the trees to determine the direction. Some of the scouts who had climbed to higher places were alarmed and looked around at the surrounding mountains. After one sound disappeared, another one
The sound flew out from the woods far away, and then there was another one a moment later. The message of the sound of the arrow was relayed in the direction of Yuyu Creek in the blink of an eye.
This afternoon, Qu Zhengyan received the news of taking action.
In his eyes, several positions guarded by the Fifth Division were still undergoing constant attacks by the Jurchen troops with superior manpower. Qu Zhengyan put down his telescope:
"It's time to counterattack."
Under the complex terrain of Yuyu Creek, reserve teams were running through the rainy paths towards the front of the battlefield.
…
A few miles behind Yuyu Creek, in the wounded soldiers' camp.
Loud arrows streaked across the sky.
In front of Zou Hu's eyes, the green forest tycoon named Ren Hengchong suddenly exerted force at his feet. His body was like a cannonball, and he pushed away the cold rain. Mud water splashed under his feet, and blossomed into lotus flowers in the rain.
.In the blink of an eye, it extended to the tent that was covered in blood.
There were no shortage of soldiers near the wounded barracks. After the sounding arrow flew out, all they had left was a moment of reaction time. But the target was already in sight, and the force of the rampage reached its peak in the blink of an eye.
The master's sudden burst of force was so terrifying. Zou Hu's scalp was numb, and he was speechless and excited. At this moment, the blood in his body was surging, and his strength surged.
As long as the young man can be captured in a short time, there will only be old, weak, sick and disabled people in the wounded barracks.
He and his group can still escape.
The moment this thought came to his mind, he ran two feet forward. The young man who rushed out of the tent at the far end of his field of vision killed the first three people who arrived in the blink of an eye. Ren Hengchong approached like a storm, and the last one
He grabbed his arm from a distance of ten feet, and the strong wind broke through the wind and rain. The young man's stature dwarfed, and the sword wind waved, and he actually exchanged moves with Ren Hengchong.
The fist he swung hit the tent, shaking the entire tent, and half of the tent was torn in the air. Ren Hengchong also ran too fast, kicking off the ground with his feet, and kicked out a half in front of the tent.
Following a circular inertial trajectory, his arms were about to grab the boy.
At this moment, they ignored that wounded soldiers also had minor injuries and serious injuries.
Behind Ren Hengchong, a pair of arms suddenly formed a sky-devouring outline on the cloth, and before the inertia of Ren Hengchong's running was completely eliminated, they covered his head and face.
The tent completely covered Ren Hengchong, and the green forest tycoon was like a shark caught in a net, punching wildly in the bag. The young man named Ning Ji turned around and threw the surgical knife. He ignored Ren Hengchong and
He was carrying an ancient sword and was heading towards Zou Hu and others. Behind Ren Hengchong, a sword-wielding man's hand rose with sword light, and it illuminated the figure wrapped in the tent and slashed wildly. In the blink of an eye,
The blood immediately stained the piece of cloth red.
Ren Hengchong tore open the piece of cloth, and half of his body was covered in blood and flesh. He opened his mouth and howled wildly. A hand suddenly reached out from the side, pressed his face, and slammed him into the muddy water with a bang.
She kicked him hard in the chest. The knife-wielding man wearing loose clothes next to him stabbed the green forest tycoon in the neck again.
The first wave of people who were awakened by the sound of arrows and rushed towards us were all wounded.
Zou Hu's soles became weak and he turned around and ran away.
More wounded figures broke through the rain curtain and rushed towards here together with the soldiers...
…
Eagle Beak Rock.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour in the narrow valley. In the first half hour, there were several shield battles in formation, but after that, there were only continuous and crazy skirmishes. The Jurchens
Rushing up the slope again and again, the Chinese army also rushed down again and again.
The cannons gradually stopped ringing, and the Jurchens were still throwing their throwing spears. The Chinese soldiers picked up the throwing spears and pointed them in the direction of the Jurchens. The blood and sacrifices were increasing every moment.
Both warring parties have reasons for a quick victory at this moment.
Niao Lili was worried that the reinforcements from the Chinese Army had finally arrived, making it impossible for them to stand here. Mao Yishan was also worried about the Jurchen reinforcements constantly crawling in after the gravel at the mouth of the valley. Several attacks by both sides had already pushed the blade away.
When they arrived in front of the opponent's generals, Ni Lili led his troops to fight in the mud and water several times, while Mao Yishan and his reserve team had already entered the front of the battlefield.
The sky is as hazy as a cold night, and the slow but seemingly endless winter rain is still falling. Human corpses are rapidly losing temperature in the muddy water. In the wet valley, a long knife cuts across the neck, blood is flying, and countless roars are heard in the ears.
Mao Yishan waved his shield and knocked away the Jurchens in front of him, moving forward in knee-deep muddy water.
"Come closer to me"
"Jurchens are victorious"
A sharp spear almost grazed his neck. The muddy water in front of him surged due to the running of the warriors. A companion came close to him. Mao Yishan raised his shield, and a long sword slashed down in front of him.
With a bang, Mao Yishan slightly bent his arms and pushed the shield with his shoulders. Using the momentum to overturn the shield, the steel knife slashed out violently. The opponent's sword light struck again, and the two steel knives hit the air heavily. All around.
They were all the sounds of fighting.
The Jurchen general holding a long sword took two steps back. His companions strung four shields with long spears and carried them over. Mao Yishan shouted: "Make a shield!" The companions around him leaned forward, and a small shield formation suddenly took shape.
,"rush!"
The footsteps of both sides pushed away the water waves, and the shields collided fiercely. Some people used all their strength, some fought with swords, and some people slipped. Many people on both sides of the shield formation fell into the muddy water. Mao Yishan dragged his companions up and supported them.
He raised the iron shield and swung it with all his strength, and the man with the knife in his hand was knocked away with a bang. He stood firm and held the knife in both hands. Here, Mao Yishan's figure was low, and his horse's steps were as solid as a mountain. The eyes behind the shield,
