Yang Hong's main formation was in chaos, but it did not affect the rebels and Mongols in the other three directions.
They still followed the scheduled time and launched an attack on the Habayashi Army that was defending its position.
Although the soldiers under Yang Qi and Yang Xin also raised questions.
It is a pity that there is no one like Yuan Bin who takes the lead in exposing the truth.
Therefore, these low-level soldiers who did not understand the situation had no choice but to follow military orders.
Although Zhou Wengang knew that these were Datong's frontier troops, he had no mercy.
The Shenji Battalion's Fo Lang machine guns and Tiger Crouching Cannons still fired at them without hesitation.
This immediately stunned the attacking Datong soldiers.
How the hell could this be a Mongolian? Do the Mongols have such powerful firearms?
Therefore, after several rounds of shelling, someone discovered something unusual and immediately retreated.
During a battle, the most taboo thing is for your own people to run back.
Because the people behind have no idea what is happening in front, they must be frightened when they see someone running away.
As the saying goes, there are ten rolls for one roll and one hundred rolls for ten rolls. This is how large-scale defeats come about.
This is not because the soldiers are greedy for life and fear of death, but this battle is really too confusing. The people on the other side are definitely not Mongolians.
Since they are not Mongols, they can only be our own people. Our own people will be beaten. If they die in battle, they will not even get a pension, and they may be charged.
When Zhou Wengang saw that they had begun to retreat, he promptly ordered the cannon fire to stop.
They are all our own, as long as they do not threaten us, there is no need to kill them all.
Yang Qi and Yang Xin's attacks in both directions were done hastily, and they were so angry that they flew into a rage.
Yang Xin even took his Yang family's servants to the front of the formation to hold down the formation himself, but to his surprise, he still couldn't stop the soldiers in front from running back.
"You dare to run away from the battle, do you know that this is a crime of beheading?"
"This general will give you one more chance to take the lead and charge forward, otherwise I will kill you all."
Yang Xin's methods did not intimidate or frighten these sergeants.
A sergeant who escaped retorted:
"Who do you think you are? You dare to call yourself a general? You are just a member of a thousand households."
Although Yang Xin is the battlefield commander designated by Yang Hong and the actual general in charge of the army, it is a pity that these soldiers will not recognize him.
They would only recognize their superiors, and he had no means. Yang Xin had no way to prevent such things from happening.
But his elder brother Yang Qi is different. Although his official position is only for defense, he is ruthless and has certain methods.
He ordered on the spot to kill dozens of deserters who were running back, barely calming the situation.
When Guo Deng, who had been a leader for many years, saw this scene, he felt a little chilled in his heart, and sighed in his heart, these Yang family members are really all crazy.
Unfortunately, such a method will still arouse the soldiers' resistance.
A senior official said angrily:
"Those are not Mongols at all. If we were to fight them, wouldn't our lives be in vain?"
What he said was quickly echoed, and almost everyone agreed and supported him.
Although Yang Qi had already killed so many people, he did not dare to kill any more, otherwise it would trigger a mutiny, so he had no choice but to order a rest.
But the Mongols in the other direction are different.
They thought that they would definitely win this battle, and they wanted to seize the emperor, so they fought very hard.
The reason why I didn't fight before was because I didn't want to cause too many casualties and waste my own strength so that Yang Hong could take advantage.
Now that Yang Hong has arrived with his army and has taken the initiative to undertake three offensive directions, they have nothing to worry about.
The leaders of several tribes mobilized a team of a thousand men and took turns attacking the Yulin army without giving them any chance to breathe.
The defending Yulin Army, under the command of Li Xing, was not calm and followed the rhythm of the Mongolian attack.
"Don't panic, reload in sequence, fire three rounds intermittently, pay attention to the flagman's orders, and the gunman is ready."
Most of the soldiers Li Xing led were new soldiers. Although they had been training for several months, they had never been on the battlefield.
Facing the menacing Mongolian cavalry, Li Xing was worried that they would be intimidated, so he went to the front line to command and boost morale.
He had been in the army for many years, and most of the generals at all levels were veterans. With their assistance and cooperation, there were no problems with the Yulin Army's military formation against the Mongols.
On Yang Hong's side, the situation is not optimistic. The army has completely lost control.
Under Yuan Bin's call and leadership, the soldiers of Datong were already fighting with Yang Hong's personal soldiers.
The slogan they shouted was to kill the rebel Yang Hong and to do meritorious deeds anyway, so the scene was chaotic.
The army defected in front of the formation. This was something Yang Hong had been worried about, but he didn't expect it to happen.
This is why he insisted on asking the Mongols for help.
It's a pity that those hateful Mongols are also people who go back on their word and don't keep their word.
As a result, he was forced to take this risky move.
Although he had expected such a situation, there was nothing he could do if it really happened.
He led his thousands of servants to resist desperately, and had pinned all his hopes on his two nephews and son.
Although he didn't know where his son was, he had never shown his face or contacted him, but he was sure that Yang Jun was nearby.
As the saying goes, it is better to know a son than his father, and Yang Hong's identification is very accurate.
At this time, Yang Jun, with four thousand elite cavalry from Dushi and Maying towns, had already arrived near the battlefield.
Moreover, he also discovered the location of the Royal Forest Army. He knew that this army was definitely not his own, and the armor they wore was different.
It was neither the cloth face armor of the frontier army, nor the refined iron armor of the Yulin army that he had seen.
This army is so different that it has been dormant and not moved.
Because he was still investigating, he had to figure out where this army came from before he could make a judgment.
And Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that there was an army behind him that wanted his life.
His attention has always been attracted by the front, and he came from Xuanfu, so he has never found traces of Yang Jun.
Yang Jun did not notice his location at first, but Zhu Youxiao led his troops to a higher location in order to better observe the battlefield situation.
Although Yang Hong and the others couldn't find him, Yang Jun was different. He was right behind Zhu Youxiao. He didn't even have to look for it. He could be seen at a glance from the official road.
"Command, the situation is still unclear. We don't dare to get too close, otherwise it will be too easy to be discovered."
Tan Qi's report made Yang Jun very dissatisfied.
Since he doesn't understand the situation clearly, he can't go to the frontal battlefield at all.
He could only shift his target to this army. No matter where he came from, as long as he was not from his side, he would be the right one to fight.
And we must strike first, otherwise this battle will be lost.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who was concentrating on watching the situation on the battlefield, was not aware of the danger yet.
