At the end of the fifteenth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Cao Jilin finally caught up with Duduo's fleeing army. No, to be precise, Duduo was waiting in formation by the Yixing River. At this time, the Jurchens had a calm face.
, how can there be any reaction of a person on the run?
Seeing this situation, Cao Jilin's heart skipped a beat. Why were there so few Jurchen barbarians?
Looking at the battle formation, there were only more than 5,000 people. Where did the remaining 10,000 people go? Suddenly, Cao Jilin's head was about to explode. He understood that the Jurchens were not defeated at all. They just escaped by fleeing.
Call out the soldiers and horses from Yangwucheng. Cao Jilin reacted quickly enough, but it was still too late. A wave of Jin Kingdom soldiers and horses came from behind. This thousands-strong army was composed of these small groups of soldiers and horses. Suddenly
After reaching the rear of Cao Jilin's army, the entire Ming army was immediately in chaos.
By the Yixing River, the Ming army was in chaos. Can Yangwucheng be saved? In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, chaos was destined to happen. Can the turmoil in the capital be far behind?
Cao Jilin did not expect that Duduo would be so cruel and even sacrifice the lives of three thousand soldiers in exchange for the success of this strategy. If it were normal times, Duduo's strategy would not work at all, because this is Yangwu, as long as he is a little more cautious
, you will find some clues, but when you win and you are greedy for profit, you will become anxious and will intentionally or unintentionally ignore those seemingly small and valuable things. Cao Jilin can also be regarded as a member of the northwest frontier army system.
He also made great achievements in the battle. If he were an incompetent person, he would not be able to accumulate merit and be promoted to the position of general.
Realizing that he had been tricked, Cao Jilin also gave up the idea of escape. The other party had been prepared for a long time. If he ran away blindly at this time, he could only be easily chased by the barbarians. There was still a glimmer of hope. He could hold back many people with his own ability.
Only Duoduo can do it. As long as Duoduo can't break through and attack Yangwu early, there is still a possibility of turning around when General Liu's army arrives.
It has to be said that Cao Jilin made the most rational decision in the shortest time. Under his greeting, the troubled Ming army gradually became calmer and quickly formed a shrinking square formation. Seeing the Song army
In response, Duduo couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that the leading general was not mediocre. Under such a situation, he could stabilize the morale of the army in a short period of time and make the most correct choice.
It may take a lot of effort to deal with these Ming troops next, but can Duduo be trapped by such a little trouble? With an eyebrow raised and a smile, Duduo held his sword and said loudly, "Array, Fucha, give me
I will kill that Han general!"
The sword was pointed in the distance. It was Cao Jilin who was standing in the middle commanding the formation. When his voice fell, a burly man walked out of the infantry. He was like an iron tower, with dark skin, a big face, and an unkempt beard.
, his hair is also messy, he has a big face, but small eyes. This tower-like black man is the number one in Blackwater, Batulu Fuca.
Fucha was born with supernatural power and was brave enough to be brave. He was very different from ordinary Jurchens. There were few men among the white mountains and black waters who couldn't ride a horse, but Fucha was an exception. He was born unable to ride a horse and would get dizzy when he rode.
The lack of horses does not affect Fucha. He is a warrior in the infantry. He kills enemies in the town, beheads generals and captures flags. With two maces in his hands, he has killed many heroes. Now Fucha is eyeing Cao Jilin.
And poor General Cao didn't know that a pair of vicious eyes were already staring at him.
Fu Cha had a strong physique and was still wearing a thin green suit even in the dead of winter. After receiving the order, he roared angrily, tore off his obstructive shirt, and rushed forward shirtless, swinging his two big feet away, like a heavy tank.
Fucha was in front, and behind him were the elite Jurchens who swarmed up. Some of these Jurchens were practicing martial arts, and some were holding a bag of things in their hands. They were placed at the end of the team, followed by more than a dozen strange cars.
It's said to be a trebuchet, but it's much smaller than a trebuchet. It's said to be a siege vehicle, and it doesn't have a head. It's hard to understand. How terrifying Fucha is, just look at the reaction of the Ming army. In Cao
Under Ji Lin's instructions, the soldiers formed a tight shield wall, but these seemingly tight formations actually allowed Fucha to easily break open an opening.
Cao Jilin looked at it from a distance, feeling terrified in his heart. Is this barbarian still a human? Several people could not withstand such a collision. Under the leadership of Fu Cha, the entire formation was torn open, and the Jurchens were not in a hurry.
He rushed inside and peeled off the outside bit by bit. It didn't look very destructive, but he soon felt the tremendous pressure. Without the shield protection, the entire formation was exposed to the Jurchen archers on the outside.
The consequences can be imagined. The most hateful thing is that after the Jurchens disrupted their formation, they immediately retreated. In this way, the two sides did not fight each other, and there was no possibility of accidental damage. The long archers could then be left to their own devices.
Played.
The archers suppressed them, and the rain of arrows made them unable to raise their heads in large numbers because you never knew when an arrow would fall on your head.
Several Jurchens pushed a strange cart up. The soldiers untied the packages in their arms, put them in the basket on the top of the strange cart, and pulled them back. Then the packages flew out like stones, and soon
After that, the package spread out, and a piece of gray dust fell from inside. The dust fell into the crowd, and the Ming army was so fascinated that they couldn't open their eyes, and some simply coughed. The dust was not a rare thing, just plant ash, but at this time
The plant ash played a huge role. I don’t know how much plant ash the Jurchens prepared. In short, in a short period of time, a gray area appeared on the entire battlefield. It looked gray and the line of sight was blocked. The formation was already a bit unstable.
It became more chaotic.
The Ming army's formation was getting more and more chaotic, while Duoduo looked at everything in front of him with a smile. The use of plant ash was not accidental. Back then, Tie Mo tortured the Khitan army with sulfur powder and other substances under Wuzhou City. His move was also the same as that of Tie Mo.
People learned it. Cao Jilin has been fighting for so many years. When did he encounter such a situation? The Jurchens, who always considered themselves brave and good at fighting and disdained conspiracy, actually used plant ash, and it achieved miraculous results. The battle was in chaos, and the Jurchens
The real person's arrow rain is even more lethal.
Cao Jilin roared loudly, trying to stabilize the situation, but who would listen at this time? When the entire formation collapsed, Duduo asked the guards to blow the horns, beat the drums, and the Jurchens rushed towards Song Dynasty.
The Song army at this time was extremely vulnerable.
Fucha did not forget his responsibilities. He kept staring in the direction of Cao Jilin. As soon as the attack order was given, he rushed over with a mace. Cao Jilin was also unlucky. He was accidentally hit by a random soldier and staggered.
, Before he could recover, Fucha's big stick arrived. Poor Cao Jilin was hit so hard that his brains burst out on the spot, and his eyes suddenly opened. He probably never dreamed that he would die so useless.
So simple.
Once Cao Jilin died, the Song army that left Yangwucheng completely lost its backbone. People who lost hope would flee. Once they fled, they would no longer have the heart to resist. Duduo fought this battle very quickly and with great results.
Cao Jilin led his men to the Yixing River and was finally made dumplings by Duduo. After the victory, Duduo did not stop and directly followed the defeated soldiers towards Yangwucheng. The Jurchens deliberately kept a distance from the defeated soldiers.
This is done to let the remaining remnants of the soldiers serve as vanguards for the Jurchens. If these people escape back outside Yangwu City, will the people in the city not let them into the city?
Everything was as Duduo expected. The remnants of the soldiers fled outside Yangwu City. The defenders inside the city had no time to think too much, because they were all their brothers outside the city, and many of them were fellow villagers of Yangwu County. The city gate opened.
, but it was not that easy to close it again. The Jurchens who followed directly followed and attacked. In less than half an hour, the Yangwu East Gate was knocked down by the Fucha troops, and a fierce street battle ensued.
Now that there is no general in Yangwu City, and Cao Jilin took away most of the soldiers and horses before leaving, the remaining soldiers and horses in the city are no match for the Jurchens, so the remaining soldiers cannot resist and can only escape from Yangwu City again.
, as a result, the entire Yangwu City completely fell into the hands of the Jurchens. When Duduo walked into General Yangwu's mansion, poor Liu Shicheng was still heading towards the Yixing River. When he learned that the scouts reported back to Yangwu
After the city changed, Liu Shicheng was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
Liu Shicheng was an elegant man, but now he has a livid face and staring eyes, like a fierce thug. How and why did Yangwucheng change? What did Cao Jilin do?
Liu Shicheng swore that if Cao Jilin was found, he would be cut into pieces. Liu Shicheng was destined to be unable to cut Cao Jilin into pieces because he soon received the news of Cao Jilin's death, and most of the guards in Yangwucheng went out to pursue him.
, were left to wait for work by Duduo by the Yixing River, and were almost completely wiped out. Then the Jurchens chased the buttocks of the remaining soldiers into Yangwu City.
Liu Shicheng's eyes were gloomy and his face was horribly gray. Why did Cao Jilin go out of the city to pursue him? It was because of Liu Shicheng's military order. At this moment, he remembered Yang Sichang's advice and regretted listening to Yang Sichang's advice. If he had continued to be safe and sound
If we guard the south bank of Sanhe and stand still, there won't be so many things.
In the setting sun, the fifteenth month of the first lunar month was full, the moonlight was shining, and the ground was covered with corpses.
Still going to Yangwucheng? No, it is useless to go there. Now it is not time to attack the Jurchens from a flank, but to consider retreating. Now that the Jurchens occupy Yangwucheng, they have support. What will happen if they stay on the north bank?
It's all possible.
Now that the Jurchens have won a great victory, their morale is high, but their own side has suffered a new defeat, and their morale is at a loss. Regardless of the large number of people, morale is not good, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless. Liu Shiguo decisively ordered to withdraw to the south bank of Sanhe. When such a big thing happened,
Concealment cannot be concealed. Liu Shicheng wrote a military report and sent it to the capital. However, it is not known whether the military report told the truth.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, which is a good day. The chaotic capital finally has signs of stability. This night has restored some of its former prosperity. In order to boost people's morale, Zhu Youjian went to Ci'en Temple to listen to Zen. Approximately
At the end of Xu Shi, Zhu Youjian returned to the palace, and then the eunuch Liang Yong walked in with small steps. There was sweat on the tip of his nose and he was panting, as if he had just run a long distance.
Liang Yong was very unlucky. As soon as he received the military report from the front, he hurried to Ci'en Temple. But when he arrived, he heard that Zhu Youjian had returned to the palace, so he ran back non-stop, which made Liang Yong's legs miserable.
It's quite annoying.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Liu from the front has sent an urgent report. Please review it as soon as possible." After handing the military report, Liang Yong stood aside obediently. The two of them read the military report. Zhao Huan's face was originally a little happy.
Yes, it’s the Lantern Festival after all. It’s such a great day, but you can still cry in despair?
Zhu Youjian was doomed to be a tragedy, because after two glances, his eyes almost didn't pop out. His body swayed and he almost fainted. After a while, he cursed with a livid face, "Cao Jilin, this idiot, take a good hard time."
If Wucheng is not defended, he has to run out and lose Yangwucheng. It is a serious crime. I...I will condemn his whole family."
The Jurchen Poyang Wucheng spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty. In order to protect the hinterland of the capital and preserve the last dignity of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian had to follow the advice of his ministers and send out orders to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country to protect King Qin.
.
The King of Diligence returns to the King of Diligence, but the quality of the soldiers and horses varies greatly, and their ideas are even different, and there are many who come here to show off.
Everyone hopes that the Ming army and horses stationed on the south bank can win, but Liu Shicheng, as the commander of the first army, does not have much confidence. Youdao knows his own affairs. With the current morale of the army, they are no match for the Jurchens, let alone protection.
There are so many places, who knows where the Jurchens will choose to break through? At this moment, Liu Shicheng suddenly hated himself a little. Why did he take such a job out of greed in the first place? Although the rewards are big after meritorious deeds, the risks are also too great.
Well, regardless of victory or defeat, at least Liu Shicheng didn't want to be buried here.
In the north of Sanhe, there are two main ferries in this area recently, one is Huangfeng Ferry and the other is Lingyi Ferry.
A long time ago, Huangfeng Ferry was already a good dock, very suitable for docking and launching ships. After so long, Huangfeng Ferry has been expanded and is wider than before. It is really a battleground for military strategists. And Lingyi Ferry is better than Huangfeng Ferry.
Fengdu Pass is not much different. Tens of thousands of Ming army horses and tens of thousands of Jurchens face each other across the river. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides are very nervous, because no one knows whether they will be alive at the next moment.
Starting from the 21st day of the first lunar month, Huangfeng Ferry became busy. Countless ships were transferred from other places and kept being transported into the ferry. In addition, the Jurchens were still strengthening their camps, obviously preparing for a sneak attack by the Ming army.
In the beginning, Huangfeng Ferry was destroyed with a fire, but today the weather is dry and the cold wind is blowing, isn't it a good time to set a fire? Compared with Huangfeng Ferry, Lingyi Ferry is very quiet, there has been no action, and Lingyi Ferry is so quiet
There were not many people sent, and the Jurchen soldiers guarding Lingyi Ferry did not build a camp and looked lazy. In this state, it really makes people wonder whether the Jurchens could cope with the crowd and pretend to guard Lingyi Ferry.
