Bright Spring

The same is true for coach Qu Neng. When Qu Neng visited Yin Desheng's side, the two ran into each other once.

After Yin Desheng stepped forward to salute the army, Qu Neng said appreciatively, "The Marquis of Heyang worked tirelessly and put his heart into it. No wonder the Holy Majesty ordered you personally."

At this time Yin Desheng hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I dare not be the last general."

Qu Neng listened to the sound of horseshoes in the wind for a while, and said again: "You don't have to worry too much, Marquis of Heyang, we are prepared. In the middle of the night, the Tatars dare not attack the camp with a large force."

Yin Desheng said: "The Tatar army has arrived nearby, will they attack tomorrow morning?"

When Qu could hear these words, the expression on the face with obvious skeleton outline became subtle and rich.He seemed a little looking forward to it, but also a little worried.

"If the enemy forces attack tomorrow, our first day will be very difficult. You must encourage the soldiers, fight with the determination to die, and never retreat!" Qu Neng said in a deep voice, "This is an open land, which is conducive to The cavalry is moving around. We didn't have any fortifications on the first day, and if we break out, we will die!"

He let out a breath and continued: "However, as long as we can withstand the attack on the first day, we can build fortifications one after another. Now that the main force of the Tatar army has arrived, they will not give up easily."

Yin Desheng clasped his fists and said solemnly: "The last general will obey the commander's instructions."

After Qu Neng left, Yin Desheng went back to the tent to sleep for a while.He was wearing armor, and it was very uncomfortable to lie down, and it was difficult to sleep soundly.But it was too sleepy in the early hours of the morning, so he still fell asleep.

When there was a change of defense outside, Yin Desheng woke up.He picked up the helmet and put it on, put on the waist knife and went out.

At this time, the sky in the east seemed to be faintly turning white.

Yin Desheng suddenly realized that the sound of horseshoes could no longer be heard from all around.He couldn't help guessing secretly: Will there be a Tatar army attack after dawn?

Perhaps no one can be sure of this answer, it all depends on the choice of the Tatars.The Qu Neng Department of the Ming Army was mainly infantry, and it went deep into the grasslands familiar to the Tatars, so it was impossible to have the initiative in the battle.

Chapter 689 An Embarrassing Gaze

The sun has not yet appeared, and the endless land is covered with a layer of thin smoke like a veil.The sound of "rumbling..." in the cold wind was like continuous thunder in the sky.

All the soldiers in the Ming army phalanx stood up, and everyone looked into the distance in shock.On the northern horizon, black and turbulent shadows are surging.

Many soldiers in the queue began to speak in low voices.At this time, there was a rush of hoofbeats from behind, and when everyone turned their heads to look, they saw the general Yin Desheng coming on horseback.

Behind Yin Desheng, a big man was holding a red military flag with the word "Ming" written on it, and the military flag was flying in the cold wind.

After a while, Yin Desheng's voice shouted: "Youqian Corps, left and right Erheng, retreat [-] steps to the rear. Shrink the line of defense!"

A general not far away replied: "The last general has orders!"

Amid the yelling of the generals, the various rectangular formations here, the soldiers turned and moved back.

A young man named Zhang Yong in the queue was very handsome. He looked back and saw some enemy rangers walking not far ahead.And he happened to be in the first row, so he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Taking advantage of the noisy footsteps, someone nearby suddenly asked: "The brothers who died before, will the bodies be transported back?"

Another person said: "I heard that it was buried on the road, and I will dig it up and take it away when I am in class."

Hearing this, Zhang Yong felt a little relieved.The brothers all believe that there are ghosts after death... If he becomes a lonely ghost and wanders in such a cold and desolate place, he thinks it is very scary!

The enemy soldiers in the distance saw only human figures, and most of them were watching from afar, not approaching.But only the enemy cavalry on the opposite side of Zhang Yong was still moving, approaching slowly first!

Then everyone stopped.What Zhang Yong was holding was a gun shield. The soldiers in the first row put the wooden shields on the ground and leaned against their legs, while the spears still rested on their shoulders to save energy.The surrounding spears are facing the sky obliquely, as dense as a forest.

Looking at the enemy horses slowly approaching, Zhang Yong didn't know if he could survive today, so he couldn't help but took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket, and read the words on the letter again.

The person who wrote the letter was a beautiful young lady, her surname was Feng, and she had a poetic girl named Chun Han.Although what was written in the letter was not a good one, it said that her family agreed to other people's marriage proposal, but it was her own handwriting after all...

The first time Zhang Yong met Feng Chunhan, Hun'er seemed to follow her away; at the same time, he knew that it was impossible for him to marry her.Common people with well-to-do families must not be willing to marry military households.So after he heard the news, he didn't feel sad at all, as expected.

The sergeant next to him looked at the letter in Zhang Yong's hand, and raised his head: "Sister-in-law can still read?"

Zhang Yong put away the letter, smiled wryly and nodded in agreement.

After a while, someone shouted loudly: "The king of Han is our king!"

Those were the words shouted by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and they were only heard occasionally.Everyone knows that the Holy One was the King of Han before he became emperor.

As soon as the familiar words of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were uttered, countless people immediately became excited and shouted: "Long live..." The shouts gradually became more and more uniform, and "Long live... Long live" shouted in unison on several sides.

"Get ready..." Yin Desheng's voice was so high and long that thousands of people could clearly hear it.

The army shouted, and the three rows of gun shield soldiers and long | spear soldiers put their long weapons flat together, facing the front.People continued to look at the herd of Tatar horses who had approached more than a hundred paces.

I don't know who is yelling at the back: "There are no barriers on all sides, if you retreat, you will die! The Holy One led hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, and came to cover up and kill. Brothers, fight to the death and never retreat!"

However, the Tatar army did not launch an attack immediately, they dismounted one after another in about a hundred paces.After a while, a group of Tatars stood on the ground and began to draw their bows.Countless strings sounded, and arrows whistling in the air poured down like rain!

There is no communication between the two sides. Anyway, most people can't understand each other's language, so they shoot arrows when they meet each other!

The arrows hit the armors and shields of the brothers, and there was a "jingle, jingle, jingle".From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground from the queue.However, the sergeants in the back row quickly stepped forward to fill the vacancies left by the casualties.

At this time, not far behind, the Ming army's intensive strings sounded, and the thrown arrows quickly flew into the air.A group of people neighed in the distance, and the wounded enemy horses ran wildly, and the dust on the ground gradually filled.

There was a hundred steps between the two sides, throwing|shooting arrows at each other, but they didn't intend to continue to approach.

In another direction, some Tatar horse teams are galloping around the Ming army formation, as if they are looking for a breakthrough.

However, the large formation of the Ming army has no flanks and rear wings at all; it is a roughly square hollow formation, a complete defensive formation, unstoppable, and similar on all sides.

After a long time, the Tatar archers in front of Yin Desheng's troops got on their horses and ran back.After the dust filled the air, the hooves of the horses roared, and another team of horses rushed forward.

On the large formation of the Ming army, the sound of "cracking" and the whistling sound of arrows piercing the air rang together, and arrows flew like rain towards the enemy horses.Then the generals shouted orders.

The infantry in the first three rows squatted down one after another.The infantry with the mountain blunderbuss in the back raised the blunderbuss.

The enemy cavalry is as close as twenty or thirty steps!They began to detour to both sides, while riding horses, riding|shooting at the Ming army camp.

The Tatars' riding | archery is quite good, even on the back of a running horse, the enemy soldiers can hit almost every arrow!Fortunately, the armor of the Ming army is excellent.Even so, more people were killed or injured than before. "Ah..." There were continuous screams, and more and more people fell to the ground.

Zhang Yong suddenly heard a "bang", and when he turned his head to look, he saw a brother next to him lying on his back on the ground with an arrow feather stuck in his forehead!The sergeant's eyes were wide open, and he didn't say a word. Both the shield and the spear fell to the ground.

"Boom!" Zhang Yong's left hand shook, and an arrow was nailed into his wooden shield, and the cluster of arrows came out from behind!He gritted his teeth, and continued to squat on the ground silently with the brothers around him.

At this moment, a general shouted from behind: "Let go!"

There was a sound of "bang bang bang bang...", Zhang Yong felt that the sound of the gun was like a loud bang in his head!In the dust, from time to time, Tatars were seen screaming and falling off their horses, and some horses were frightened, neighing and galloping wildly.

Only a short while later, the roar of the generals of the Ming army came, followed by another burst of fire | blunderbuss | sound.

The choking smell of gunpowder has permeated the crowd.There was white smoke all around, and the dust in front was hazy, and only black shadows of people and horses were running around.The shouts and the sound of horseshoes seemed to be roaring in front of them.

The sun had just risen at this time, but the smoke was so thick that the light still seemed dim.

"Hiss..." Suddenly a horse rushed out of the smoke like crazy!Zhang Yong's eyes widened, and he gripped the spear tightly, feeling as if the horse was about to step on his head!He heard the sound in his chest, like a drum beating!

The little flag leader not far away also saw the horse, and shouted: "Don't move, take a gun|stab!"
