Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 464 Ways to Deal with Traitors

After Xianghongqi retreated, Houjin's attacks in several directions stopped one after another.As Li Yan expected, all their actions revolved around the South Gate. Now that the South Gate could not be seized, it would be meaningless for them to continue fighting.In war, that’s all. You must know when to advance and when to retreat. When the opportunity comes, you must be prepared. Fighting hard and filling the enemy's defense line with the flesh and blood of soldiers, that is a mediocre general, and soldiers will not attach themselves.

This fierce battle came suddenly and stopped suddenly. Before the Ming army recovered from the frantic fighting, the Jin army had already retreated, attacking resolutely, and retreating decisively, without giving the Ming army any chance.The Ming army looked at the dead bodies all over the ground, and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised the bloody weapon covered with gaps in his hand, and let out bursts of cheers.This cheering made the retreating Jin soldiers look ugly, and the Ming army fought back head-on for an action they were determined to win. This was unacceptable to them.If the Allies relied on traps and tricks to repel them, they would still be able to accept it. The problem is that the Ming army relied on blood and courage to push them back. The horrific scene of falling, and the flesh and blood flying under the axe made every survivor shudder!Mang Gurtai grabbed Yuetuo, and asked with some complaints: "What's going on? Why didn't you take down the south gate?"

Du Du also ran over and said unhappily: "We lost hundreds of lives, just because you didn't take down the South Gate, so many elites died in vain!"

Abata frowned and asked, "Yue Tuo, what happened?"

It can be seen that several banner owners are quite dissatisfied with Yue Tuo's performance. This action was planned by Yue Tuo alone. The Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner, and Xiangbai Banner all unconditionally cooperated with the Xianghong Banner. They fought so resolutely and attacked so well. Ruthless, he has successfully attracted the main force of the Ming army, and the spies of the Ming army have also successfully deceived the city gate. It can be said that everything is ready, but Yue Tuo still has not won the south gate, which is a little hard for everyone to accept.

Yue Tuo's complexion was uglier than anyone else's. Without saying a word, he went back to the tent and sat down, knocking on the table with a horsewhip: "Bring the wine!"

Several of the coated slaves didn't dare to show off their dignity, and they cautiously brought the wine and poured it for Yue Tuo.Yue Tuo drank three large bowls in a row. When he drank the fourth bowl, he stopped, tasted the wine, frowned and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

The coated slave said, "Master, it's potato wine."

Yue Tuo frowned even tighter: "Potato wine?"

The servant added cautiously: "It's from Nanyang..."

"Nanyang..." Yue Tuo burst into anger, and threw the wine bowl at the former servant, smashing his face with blood, and shouted: "Who told you to bring this wine here? Come on, bring it here!" Pull this trash out and chop it up!"

The servant was frightened out of his wits, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, repeatedly shouting: "Master, spare your life, master, please spare your life, this slave will never dare again, master, please spare your life!"

Yue Tuo said with disgust on his face, "Drag on!"

Two Goshhars rushed forward like wolves and tigers, dragging down the unlucky coat servant.

Several Baylors looked at each other and felt that things were unusual.Different from the impulsive and reckless Hauge, Yue Tuo has always been known for being calm and cautious, why has he become so irritable now.Yue Tuo also knew that he had lost his composure. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said slowly: "The Wuyang Army is here!"

Several Baylors jumped up at the same time: "What!?"

Yue Tuo said: "I attacked the south gate with all my strength, and I was about to succeed. But at this juncture, the heavy infantry of the Wuyang Army came out and blocked the way like a wall, forcing our army to retreat... …The man leading these heavy infantry is none other than Yang Menglong, and I recognize his baby face even when it is burned to ashes!”

Abatai was shocked: "You mean, these hoplites belong to the Wuyang Army?"

Yue Tuo sneered: "Except for the Wuyang Army, which other army in the Ming Dynasty has the ability to support so many heavy infantry? They have as many as 200 heavy infantry just to fill the breach of the city gate. How many more people are there? If we don’t dispatch, we won’t know.”

Abatai, Dudu, Manggurtai and others looked at each other and recalled that a team of 50 heavy infantrymen rushed up to the city wall and swung their giant axes to split open the Houjin warriors who had climbed onto the city, including their armor and their bodies. When he caught the scene and threw it from the city wall, he couldn't help but shudder.These monsters are too terrifying. Hou Jin has always been famous for his strong bows and angry horses. As a result, when facing these steel monsters, the bows in their hands could not penetrate the helmets and breastplates of heavy infantry within ten meters. As for heavy infantry, Not to mention swords, etc. If you chop them up, they will only leave a white mark on the body of the heavy infantry, but those heavy infantry can split them open with an axe!In the Battle of Daling River, Yang Menglong and Huang Taiji both fell from their horses and fell into coma. Wang Tiechui led the heavy infantry to repeatedly attack more than ten formations, and used his giant ax to savagely plow bloody alleys among Houjin's soldiers. Heng Fei, the scene was still fresh in Hou Jin's memory, and he was reluctant to fight such a tough battle with the Wuyang Army again, but they never dreamed that not long after they launched the offensive in Lushun, Yang Menglong would lead his troops to kill him. Waiting for them will be another bloody battle!

Mang Gurtai muttered: "If it's the Wuyang Army, then this battle will be difficult...Damn, let's not talk about anything else, just those heavy infantry are enough, the whole person is like an iron tower, invulnerable , the arrow cannot penetrate..."

Yue Tuo said angrily: "Their armor is better than ours! My white armored soldiers wore double or even triple armor, and they were still pierced by their powerful crossbows, while their hoplites only wore one heavy armor. Ours No matter how heavy the arrow is, it will not be able to pierce it!"

All Baylor felt helpless for a while.Once upon a time, Houjin made the Ming army frightened by the strength of its armor. The white armored soldiers in heavy armor were like entering a no-man's land in the Ming army's formation. The firecrackers fired at the white-armored soldiers had to be said twice, and the dead soldiers made the Ming army even more frightened. The Ming army's firecrackers had not shot through the armor of the dead soldiers. As long as these heavily armored soldiers came out, the Ming army would immediately retreat. What a prestige this is!But now, this advantage seems to be taken away by the Ming army.Needless to say, the heavy infantry of the Wuyang Army, even the light breastplates worn by ordinary infantry are difficult enough to deal with, making Houjin's bows and arrows lose their former power. Barely shoot through their breastplates, and even if they do, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. However, the strong crossbows of Ming army archers can shoot through the armor of white armored soldiers and dead soldiers with one arrow within [-] steps. It is completely asymmetrical. strike!

The reality is so helpless: Houjin's foundation is too weak, and the Ming country is too big, so there are two strong armies that can fight head-on with Houjin, and Houjin is a little bit overwhelmed.And with the passage of time, after the Ming Kingdom relieved this breath, there will only be more and more such powerful troops...

Thinking of this, everyone was silent.

Huang Long and Li Yan greeted them.Seeing that Yang Menglong and Hong Niangzi were covered in blood, and there were not many of the more than 20 soldiers left, Li Yan was horrified. He clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee, and said, "My lord, I did not dispatch properly. The rescue came late, and my lord was injured. Please help me." Your Excellency will punish you!"

The hoplites glared at the white-faced scholar with resentment, all blaming him, insisting on making some overall layout, which squadron rescue and which direction were clearly stipulated before letting everyone set off, which made Yang Menglong Almost died!According to them, there is no need to go to such trouble, just snatch Yang Menglong back and talk about other things!
Huang Long hurriedly said: "Little Shuai Yang, if Mr. Li Yan hadn't sent reinforcements in time, the city wall of Lushun might have been breached by Jiannu... In the end, it was Huang who didn't listen to the good words of Mr. Yang and Mr. Yang, and trusted Wang Zhiwu, a shameless little man. That’s why Lushun was in extreme danger, Huang apologized to Xiao Yangshuai here, please take care of Huang’s poor side, and don’t blame Young Master Li!”

Yang Menglong helped Li Yan up and said, "Don't blame yourself. Most of these hoplites have never been on the battlefield. It is very rare for you to mobilize them quickly and stabilize the situation on the entire battlefield. As for me , I caused this injury myself, so just treat it as my own fault!"

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at the blood man in awe, not only respect but also respect.Those chief soldiers, generals, etc., who didn't raise a large group of servants, usually act like a boss, and run faster than anyone else when the situation is not good?Is there any general soldier who can take the lead and rush forward as soon as he gritted his teeth, no matter how dangerous the situation is like this dude?No wonder there are so many arrogant soldiers in the Heluo New Army and the Denglai New Army who obey him. Soldiers admire such a strong man and like to follow such a leader who takes the lead!

Yang Menglong pointed at Wang Zhiwu, who was still screaming, and asked, "Shuai Huang, what should I do with this guy?"

Mao Yongjun said angrily: "Huang Shuai, we have killed thousands of people because of this bastard, we can't let him go lightly, let the humble officials smash him into meat sauce!"

Huang Yulang said: "Uncle, let me stab him to death!"

Li Weiluan, covered in blood, arrived panting heavily, and said viciously: "Isn't it too cheap to stab him to death with a spear? You should light a sky lantern for him!"

A junior officer said with blood-red eyes: "This bastard is so ungrateful that he shot my General Shang and seriously injured him. He should be chopped up!"

Angry soldiers of the Ming army chattered about how to deal with Wang Zhiwu. Some said he should be chopped into a stick and thrown out, some said he should be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and some said he should be cut into pieces... Hong The lady frowned more and more, and said to Yang Menglong, "Why are they so perverted?"

Yang Menglong took it for granted: "That's right, it's too perverted! By the way, how did you deal with the traitor?"

The red lady said: "Peel the skin, goug out the eyes, pull out the intestines, pull out the tongue, light the sky lantern, cut out the heart and liver and feed it to the dogs."

Yang Menglong: "..."

Huang Long motioned everyone to be quiet, and said: "This traitor was captured by Xiao Yang Shuai, and how to deal with it should be up to Xiao Yang Shuai!" Looking at Yang Menglong, "Little Yang Shuai, what do you think should be done with this wolf-hearted thing? "
