"Boom...boom...boom!"
Just when Abatai was reading the letter and being scolded for being a coward, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came out from under the land outside the Jurchen army camp. Then the land collapsed and a deep and wide trench appeared, which was enough More than twenty miles long.
This newly emerged trench happened to be connected with the trench dug by the Ming army before, forming a huge ring that surrounded the Jurchen army camp.
"What happened? Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"
"The God of Immortality bless you, the God of Immortality bless you!"
…
The emergence of the huge trench caused chaos in the Jurchen Army camp. Some people thought it was an earthquake, while others thought it was goblins causing trouble and kept praying to God for blessing.
Unfortunately, both guesses were wrong. This was neither an earthquake nor a monster, but a man-made event.
What is more accurate is that it was planned by Qin Feng.
It turns out that Qin Feng knew that Abatai was not a fool. If he blindly used delaying tactics and exhaustion tactics, Abatai would definitely react, wipe out the besieged Ming army, and then lead the Jurchen army to leave Xiaogu. At the foot of the mountain, there is another favorable terrain to fight again.
In that case, the Ming army would be defeated and all plans would be in vain!
Therefore, Qin Feng proposed another strategy after slowing down and exhausting his troops: redeeming people openly and digging trenches secretly!
On the surface, Lu Xiangsheng wrote a letter, using property to redeem the besieged Ming army, in order to paralyze Abatai and buy time.
Secretly, Qin Feng directed 100,000 workers to quietly dig secret passages.
These workers have worked in the coal field for many years and are very good at digging underground tunnels. They can measure the direction, location, and depth very accurately. They also made many I-frames out of wood and placed them in the underground tunnels to prevent landslides.
After the secret passage is dug, explosives are tied to each I-frame, connected with match ropes, and then ignited with fire.
The bomb exploded the I-frame, and the secret tunnel collapsed, turning into a long trench, which was connected with the previous trench to form a large circle, surrounding the Jurchen Army camp in the middle.
"Boom...boom!"
After the trench was blown up, amid the thunderous sound of war drums, the Tianwei Army rushed out, quickly arrived at their position, and then built a defense line around the trench:
First, there were deer antlers, horses, wooden forks, wooden fences and other objects arranged in a long row, and a lot of caltrops were thrown in.
Then there are tens of thousands of camels. After lying down, the head and tail are connected together, and then covered with thick felt, forming a long camel wall.
Finally, the soldiers of Tianwei Army were arranged in formation according to different types of troops behind the camel wall and were ready for battle.
…………
On the other side, after hearing the noise, Abate immediately rushed out of the Chinese army's tent, climbed up to the observation tower next to him, and observed the situation from a high position. He was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Although I can't figure out how the trench suddenly appeared, I am sure that this is the Ming army doing something secretly.
More importantly, the trench formed a huge circle, surrounding his own camp. If he didn't break out early, he would probably become a caged bird or a turtle in a urn, which would be the only way to death.
Thinking of this, Abatai immediately summoned a group of generals and loudly ordered: "Gather the troops quickly, prepare more things for filling the trenches, and then follow Benbeile to fight out!"
"Master Beile, what should we do with the Ming army on the mountain?"
"Self-preservation is the most important thing. I can't take care of them anymore... Damn it, Ben Beile fell into the trap of the other party in a single thought. I will never be a human being unless I take revenge!"
"Ouch!"
…
Amidst the loud sound of horns, tens of thousands of Jurchen troops quickly gathered and charged towards the due north, where the Tianwei Army was defending.
There is no way, there are both trenches and barriers in other directions, but here there are only trenches and no barriers. Compared with the two, it is naturally easier to break out from here.
"Warriors, rush out, you must rush out, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated!"
"Bring the sandbags here and fill this trench... Great, let's rush out!"
Perhaps the Tianwei Army hastily deployed its defenses and the defense line was not very strong. The Jurchen Army only charged three times before breaking out a huge gap.
Abatai was overjoyed and immediately commanded tens of thousands of troops to break out of the gap. Who knew that before he had broken out very far, he stepped on the ambush thunder that had been laid by Tianwei's military.
"Boom...boom...boom!"
The thunderbolt is about the size of a small watermelon. It is made of raw iron on the outside and filled with black gunpowder, iron flakes and iron sand soaked in poison. It is then buried in the ground and has a mechanism on it. Once a man or horse steps on it, it will explode.
Behind the gap, the Tianwei Army seized their time and planted a total of thousands of sky mines. The Jurchen Army did not know the situation, but they were blown up and suffered heavy casualties.
"Boom...boom!"
After finally breaking through the thunder array, they encountered fierce shelling. The Jurchen army was once again overwhelmed and suffered heavy casualties!
Why is it so unlucky?
It turned out that Qin Feng had planned it long ago. The newly-exploded trench was more than twenty miles long. With the strength of the Tianwei Army, it was impossible to hold on. It would be a matter of time before they were broken through.
In this case, it is better to leave a gap in advance and bury a large number of sky mines behind the gap. All the artillery in the army are arranged on both sides, and the shooting points are calculated.
The Jurchen army did not know the truth and thought they had broken through the Tianwei Army's defense line. In their haste to break out, they all crowded into the gap. As a result, they fell into the trap and suffered heavy casualties.
………
After all, the Jurchen Army was an elite division. Despite suffering heavy casualties, they still moved forward bravely and finally broke out of the encirclement. Then they ran all the way north and arrived at the south bank of the Sanggan River around Shen Time that afternoon.
"Master Beile, there is a river blocking the road ahead, what should I do?"
"Send out your troops immediately, search for more boats and wood, and set up a pontoon on the river. We must cross the river quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble if the mighty Tianwei army catches up!"
"twitter!"
Following Abate's order, thousands of cavalry rushed out, looking for something to cross the river.
As a result, I was lucky. I found dozens of small boats in a reed swamp, which were probably hidden by nearby fishermen. I also found a forest nearby. Everyone used their swords and axes to cut down hundreds of trees in a short time, and then chose In a location where the water flow was relatively slow, three floating bridges were quickly erected.
After the pontoon bridge was set up, the Jurchen army began to cross the river, shouting and neighing, scrambling to get ahead.
Unexpectedly, when the team was halfway through the crossing, a strange sound suddenly came from the upper reaches of the Sanggan River.
"Boom... boom!"
"No, it's a flood!"
"The flood is coming, everyone, run for your lives!"
A huge wave four to five feet high, carrying stones, branches and other debris, swooped over from upstream and was in front of us in an instant.
The Jurchen soldiers who were crossing the river were terrified and howled and fled in all directions. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Among them, those far away from the river were better, but those closer to the river, as well as the people and horses crossing the river, were all in trouble. They were instantly submerged by the flood and washed away without a trace.
After several huge waves, the river slowly calmed down, but then, the sound of war drums sounded in the upper reaches of the Sanggan River, and a group of people rushed down, led by a general: wearing a bronze bird helmet, wearing a chain armor, and a red horse. The rabbit horse, holding a Liuhe sword, is Lei Dapeng.
After raiding dozens of mines in Hunyuan Prefecture, Qin Feng ordered Lei Dapeng to lead his troops and more than 20,000 laborers, and quietly drove to the upper reaches of the Sanggan River with various tools.
Then a suitable place was chosen, sand was gathered to form embankments, and dams were built to store water. When the Jurchen army crossed the river from the lower reaches, the accumulated river water was released at once, and a flooded army came.
After releasing the water, Lei Dapeng led his troops to kill them from upstream.
At the same time, Qin Feng led the troops of Tianwei Army to catch up from behind.
The Jurchen army was washed away by the flood. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their morale was also extremely panicked. How could they withstand two troops?
The entire army collapsed in a short time and fled for their lives.
Qin Feng supervised the men and horses, and then pursued them until dusk. Then he blew the trumpet and retreated, then cleaned the battlefield and counted the spoils.
