"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Kill...kill!"
At the second watch, thousands of black figures suddenly appeared in the southwest of the Tianwei Army camp, and with the sound of loud horns, they launched a rapid charge!
After a while, the night wind blew away the dark clouds, and the water-like moonlight shone down. The black shadows revealed their true colors. They turned out to be groups of Jurchen cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding scimitars.
The Jurchen soldiers rushed to the edge of the camp and were immediately counterattacked by the soldiers of the Tianwei Army. The two sides quickly fought in a melee. For a while, shouts, collisions, and screams... resounded through the night sky!
There is a small mound not far from the main camp. Below it is surrounded by many Jurchen soldiers. On top of it stands a tall yellow gelding. On the horse's back sits a general wearing a long tasseled helmet and red armor. It’s the famous Anping Baylor-Dudu.
It turned out that when Du Du commanded the army to besiege Shanyin City, he received a secret letter secretly sent by eight major Shanxi merchants. It stated that the Ming army was divided into two groups: one responsible for containment and one responsible for the strategic deployment of siege.
At the same time, I learned that the Tianwei Army was marching very fast and was not far from Shanyin City.
Soldiers who, deception also!
Fighting from the front is worse than sneak attack from behind!
So, Du Du asked his younger brother Nikan to take charge of the camp and continue to command the army to besiege Shanyin City, while he led eight thousand elite troops to attack the Tianwei Army's camp.
In order to achieve the purpose of surprise, Du Du did not attack head-on. Instead, he led his men and horses on a concealed march, made a large circle, and launched a night attack from the side.
I thought that this night attack would be a great success and annihilate the Mighty Heavenly Army in one fell swoop!
The result was the opposite!
They were still seven or eight miles away from the Tianwei Army camp when they were discovered by the patrolling rangers, who immediately blew the warning horn!
The horn sounded and the sneak attack was exposed!
If the sneak attack fails, then attack by force!
Under the command of Du Du, eight thousand Jurchen cavalry launched a group charge, trying to form a horse-mounted joint force!
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of Tianwei Army were well-trained. After hearing the warning horn, they immediately put on armor, picked up weapons, and rushed out of the tent. Then, under the command of officers at all levels, relying on strong camps, they fought with The attacking Jurchen soldiers fought fiercely.
…
"Lord Beile, our army launched a fierce attack, but the Ming army resisted tenaciously!"
"Master Beile, our army filled the trenches, pushed up to the fence, and finally broke into the Ming army's camp. However, all the troops and horses suffered a lot of casualties!"
"Master Beile, the Ming army on the opposite side was like crazy. They were waving their swords and guns, howling and screaming, and they rushed up and drove our army out again!"
…
The Goshkhas went back and forth, constantly reporting on the situation on the battlefield.
Du Du's face was as gloomy as water, and then he sighed softly: "The soldiers are not frightened at night, and the generals are not in chaos when they hear the changes. This Tianwei army is really powerful, and the leader Qin Feng is a good general. No wonder he entered the army last time Guan, Hauge, Amin, Dorgon and the others will suffer a loss... Send the order, blow the trumpet and retreat the troops!"
"Master Beile, we are not at a disadvantage, why are we withdrawing our troops?"
"There is no point in continuing the fight. It will only increase casualties. Retreat your troops!"
"twitter!"
The Jurchen tribe has a small population, and there are even fewer young men who can fight in battle. If one dies, one will be lost, so it is very difficult to replenish them.
Therefore, when Du Du directs battles, he never fights head-on, but wins by outsmarting others, and achieves the greatest victory with the smallest casualties.
This night attack failed and turned into a brutal offensive. If we continue to fight, we will only lose soldiers and lose the certainty of victory. It is better to withdraw our troops and find another strategy.
"Woo...wow...wow!"
When the order was given and the horn sounded, the Jurchen soldiers who were struggling to fight immediately stopped their attack, then covered each other and slowly retreated.
After retreating several miles and completely leaving the battlefield, under the command of Du Du, the Jurchen soldiers quickly formed a formation and returned to the camp outside Shanyin City along the route they came from.
The team responsible for breaking up the rear found that,
The mighty Tianwei army did not leave camp to pursue!
…………
The next day, at noon, a large river - the Hun River - appeared in front of the returning Jurchen soldiers.
The Hun River is one of the important water sources in northern Shanxi, with a total length of more than 200 miles. The river surface is wide, the current is fast, and a large number of vegetation grows on both sides.
When he came before, Du Du ordered his people to collect hundreds of boats, match them with ropes and wooden planks, and build two pontoon bridges on the Hun River to facilitate the army to cross the river, and left one Niulu soldier to guard them.
The soldiers guarding the bridge are all there now, and there are no problems with the two pontoon bridges.
So Du Du led eight thousand Jurchen soldiers and quickly crossed from the south bank to the north bank. Unexpectedly, when the team was about to finish crossing, there was a sudden change.
"Da da da!"
"Kill...kill!"
From the woods around the south bank, the cavalry of the Tianwei Army suddenly rushed out. The number was about two thousand. They quickly rushed to the shore and then divided into two groups: one group surrounded hundreds of Jurchen soldiers who had not yet crossed the river, and launched an attack. Attack violently.
Another group came to the edge of two pontoons, poured hay and oil on them, and then lit a blazing fire.
…
It turns out that the camp was attacked by a sneak attack last night, which made Qin Feng very angry. Since his debut, he has always attacked others by himself, and he has never suffered such a loss.
Although the loss was not big, only part of the camp was burned down, this revenge must be avenged!
However, in the dark night, the situation is unknown. If you chase him out rashly, you may be ambushed. In that case, not only will you not be able to get revenge, but you will also suffer a big loss.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not pursue immediately, but continued to stay in the camp until daylight, and then sent a large number of rangers to investigate the surrounding situation. After making sure that there were no problems, he began his revenge plan.
The plan is divided into two steps: First, release your golden eagle, search for the specific location of the Jurchen horses from the air, and keep a close eye on them.
The second is to let Han Shanjun and Dong Tianbao stay in the camp, while he takes Ma Yong, Ma Wu and two thousand soldiers, one person and two horses, riding in turns to quickly pursue the Jurchen army.
With the help of the golden eagle, Qin Feng and his group quickly caught the Jurchen army's tail. However, two thousand people chased eight thousand people. There was a huge difference in strength. Fighting was not an option. Therefore, they did not rush to fight rashly, but quietly Follow.
When most of the Jurchens had crossed the Hun River and a small part had not yet crossed the river, they suddenly rushed out and killed the Jurchen soldiers by surprise!
"Get out...get out!"
"Bang...bang!"
There were more than 600 Jurchen soldiers who had not yet crossed the river. They were unprepared and were caught off guard. They suffered heavy casualties immediately. The remaining soldiers struggled to break through, but they could not break through the encirclement network of Tianwei Army at all.
On the north bank of the Hun River, when he saw that the soldiers who had not yet crossed the river were attacked, Anping Beile Dudu became furious and quickly ordered his soldiers to go back for rescue.
However, the two pontoon bridges on the river had been swallowed up by the raging flames, and the men and horses could not rush across at all.
I wanted to look for a boat and cross the river on a pontoon bridge, but I couldn't find it for a while.
They wanted to use war horses to forcefully cross the river, but the river was too fast and mixed with a lot of silt, making it impossible to cross.
The result was that the Jurchen soldiers on the south bank could only watch as the Jurchen soldiers on the south bank beat fewer and fewer people. In the end, the entire army was destroyed and there was no way to rescue them.
"Hoo...ho!"
After killing all the Jurchen soldiers on the south bank, Qin Feng ordered all the heads to be cut off and tied under the horses' necks. He collected the trophies, then urged his horses to the bank, roared several times at the north bank, and waved. With the blood-stained Niscale Dao, he led the soldiers back to the camp with satisfaction.
Seeing this scene, Du Du on the north bank gritted his teeth angrily, but had no choice but to order people to find a boat and build a bridge.
After two hours of busy work, I finally found some boats, barely built a new pontoon bridge, and returned to the south bank of the river. I collected more than 600 headless corpses, dug a big pit and buried them, then crossed the river again and returned to the camp. .
In this confrontation, Du Du made a surprise attack on the Tianwei Army's camp, and Qin Feng made a surprise attack on the Jurchen soldiers who had not yet crossed the river. Both sides suffered losses, so it was a draw.
Next, the two will compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage. Who will win and who will lose?
