The fierce battle continued, and whether it was the Ming army or the Jianlu, after the war reached this point, the casualties were already huge. However, both sides of the war, based on their own reasons, are fighting to the death.
Suddenly, on both sides of the military line, which has never been the key defensive area of Jianlu, more than a hundred white-armored soldiers led by other Jianlu troops suddenly emerged from the camp, and launched an offensive like tigers. pounce on their opponents.
On both sides of this military line, there were North Korean musketeers. Then the Ming army stood in front and calmly fired their guns to attack Jianlu from the flanks.
Suddenly, the Jianlu army headed by Bai Jiabing suddenly pounced on them. Suddenly, the Korean soldiers panicked.
Jianlu's white-armored soldiers are famously powerful, not just those who have heard of them before. Even just before, Jianlu's white-armored soldiers almost drove out such a powerful Ming army. Their ferocity was engraved in the minds of the North Korean soldiers.
Suddenly, these North Korean soldiers were about to be attacked by such a powerful white-armored soldier. If they got close, wouldn't they be doomed?
Thinking this way, no matter whether the shooting distance is enough or whether the enemy has entered the effective range, the panicked North Korean army will shoot.
As soon as someone fired, other North Korean soldiers followed suit. Suddenly, intensive "bang bang bang" gunshots rang out from the North Korean army's front line, and gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the air, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on ahead.
Lin Qingye also immediately discovered the focus of Jianlu's counterattack, which suddenly changed. He was startled. Just as he was shouting not to panic, he saw the scene he least wanted to see happen. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was also considered a rare brave general among North Korean generals. Seeing this situation, he did not hesitate and immediately led his bodyguards to attack. Because he knew that his musketeers were fine with cold shots, but if they were approached by Jianlu and fought hand-to-hand, they would definitely not be able to withstand Jianlu's offensive, let alone the leader of Jianlu's soldiers. It was the white-armored soldiers who took the lead. charge.
Lu Xiangsheng also knew how powerful the North Korean army was, just because the Ming army only numbered about 7,000, while the Jianlu troops numbered tens of thousands. Under this situation, if there were other generals, they would not dare to fight Jianlu at all, let alone think of defeating Jianlu in one battle.
However, for Lu Xiangsheng, what is most beneficial to the Ming army now, and what is most likely to change the situation of the Korean War, is to defeat these captives in front of them in the first battle. Therefore, as a last resort, the North Korean army can only be allowed to assist in the war and prevent them from facing the enemy head-on.
Even so, when Lu Xiangsheng paid attention to the battlefield, he did not ignore the North Korean army. When Jianlu's counterattack direction changed and he started to attack the Korean army, he noticed it immediately.
What Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect was that there were so many white-armored soldiers from Jianlu, and they all devoted themselves to attacking the Korean army. As soon as he saw this, he knew something was going to happen.
Sure enough, he immediately saw that when Jianlu was still a little far away from the North Korean army, the North Korean army had already opened fire. In this case, you can imagine how threatening shooting can be. More importantly, the North Korean army is all musketeers. When most of the musketeers fire, the smoke becomes very thick, which limits their field of vision, which is actually more conducive to Jianlu's charge.
As a veteran general, Lu Xiangsheng naturally guessed the purpose of Jianlu at once. They wanted to attack the Korean army, drive the Korean army back, and even disrupt the Ming army, so as to turn defeat into victory.
Seeing that Jianlu was about to be defeated, this situation suddenly appeared, and Lu Xiangsheng did not want this worst-case scenario to happen under any circumstances.
At the same time, he saw that on the left wing, Lin Qingye's flag had moved forward and was obviously on top. Therefore, he did not hesitate to personally lead the remaining troops of the Chinese army and also invested in the right-wing Korean army. As long as he could withstand Jianlu's counterattack, then the war would be won with a high probability.
However, what Lu Xiangsheng never expected was that the North Korean army was completely defeated before he even had time to come forward to support them.
Under the smoke, the North Korean soldiers couldn't see clearly the situation of the prisoners on the opposite side, and they were very panicked. The more panicked they became, the original order of firing rounds was also disrupted. Anyone who could fire would fire immediately, for fear that Jianlu would suddenly burst out of the smoke.
But the more they behaved like this, the thicker the smoke became, the more unclear they were about Jianlu's movements, and the more panicked they became.
While he was hurriedly reloading ammunition, someone among the Korean soldiers in front suddenly let out a very short scream. When the North Korean soldier on the side took a look, he saw a big ax coming out of the smoke and splitting a North Korean soldier in half. It was very scary.
Upon seeing this, all the North Korean soldiers on the side were frightened to death. They still dared to continue loading ammunition and did not dare to pull out their swords to fight back. Instead, they shouted, turned around and ran away.
In the thick smoke, more and more white-armored soldiers and other Jianlu soldiers rushed out. With ferocious faces, they chased after the Korean soldiers and started killing them.
Under Jianlu's deliberate drive, the Korean soldiers on both wings all fled towards the Ming army camp of the Chinese army. Seeing how they were running for their lives in panic, the Ming army officers also panicked and were led back.
Once the troops on both wings were in chaos, the Ming army's forward was a bit protruding when it invaded the deepest part of Jianlu's camp. Moreover, Jianlu was also good at seizing fighter opportunities and immediately penetrated from both sides, trying to surround and divide the Ming army's forward. Due to the defeat of the North Korean army, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly reversed, and the balance of victory immediately tilted towards Jianlu.
On Lin Qingye's side, although he led his guards to attack, he could not withstand the attack of the white-armored soldiers at all, and could only delay the defeat slightly. The gap in strength between the two sides made Lin Qingye helpless.
However, although Lu Xiangsheng's support was a little late, he and his personal guards, as well as the more than fifty strong crossbowmen who remained in the central army, were all the elites of the Ming army, so they used Lu Xiangsheng as the spearhead and directly attacked The white-armored soldiers who were chasing the North Korean soldiers bumped into him. It was as if a huge boulder suddenly appeared, firmly blocking the direction of the flow of water.
Lu Xiangsheng also wore three layers of armor and held a big sword in his hand, similar to Mo Dao. He was stronger than others because of his strength. Even if he blocks it with a weapon, even if he cuts it with a knife, the huge force will be able to chop away the enemy in front of him.
If the Buddha stands in the way, he will kill the Buddha; if the devil stands in the way, he will kill the devil. This sentence is fully reflected on the battlefield at this moment.
Therefore, on the right wing, due to Lu Xiangsheng's strong support, with him as the center, the front was quickly stabilized, and there was even a faint tendency to counterattack.
However, on the left wing, the Jianlu had the upper hand, and the Ming and Korean troops were defeated one after another.
As far as the entire battle is concerned, the situation is quite unfavorable for the Ming army.
Even if the advantages of the two wings are offset, on the Ming army's side, all the commanders are engaged in the battle, so there is no one to take command. In the forward position, the Jianlu troops attacked from the weak points of the Ming army, trying to cut off the forward that surrounded the Ming army. Once the Ming army's forwards who penetrate deep into the Jianlu camp are surrounded and eliminated, then the Ming army will not have to fight this battle.
There were about two thousand people in the vanguard of the Ming army. While they withstood the Jianlu counterattack from the front, they sadly found that their comrades behind them were in chaos. Moreover, there were Jianlu on both sides who were attacking, trying to surround them. Suddenly, they all panicked.
In such a panic, he immediately felt that Jianlu's offensive was overwhelming, and he could no longer resist it.
Seeing that the Ming army's forward side is likely to collapse. This can be easily discovered by anyone with a little experience watching the battlefield.
Yue Tuo, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but be overjoyed. In order to defeat this Ming army, he had sent out all his troops. Judging from the current situation, the Qing army is indeed more elite. This battle will soon be decided, and the Qing Dynasty will win.
When the war reaches this level, to a certain extent, it is not really one or two people who can decide the outcome, but the overall eliteness of the army.
At this time, among the coalition forces of the Ming Army and the North Korean Army, there were only two thousand cavalry troops of the Ming Army. Because the army invaded the Jianlu Camp, it lost its role and could only linger outside the camp to provide support.
The guerrilla general leading this cavalry army was Li Dingguo. His battlefield acumen cultivated since childhood was well reflected at this moment. He saw the danger of the forward and realized the most critical point of the entire battle.
"Everyone dismount and follow our generals to kill!" Li Dingguo did not hesitate and immediately issued the military order.
The cavalry turned into infantry and rushed into the military camp to fight hand-to-hand. It must be said that this requires great courage and great responsibility. If it were an ordinary general, he would never dare to do this without Lu Xiangsheng's military order. However, Li Dingguo did not hesitate to make his own decision and issued this military order.
When the military order was handed down, he took the lead. He was the first to dismount, took off the spear hanging on the horse hook, and went to rescue the Ming army's forward.
His "Li" flag was a bright light, guiding his two thousand cavalry troops to dismount and become infantry, forming a square formation to follow their commander.
"Ho ha, ha ha..."
Li Dingguo and his bodyguard roared and advanced, leading other soldiers to roar in unison and advance to the rhythm of the roar.
This movement of two thousand men and horses, even if the battlefield is very chaotic, the movement will definitely not be small.
The panicked Ming army saw that Li Dingguo's army was not only orderly but also attacking the enemy with high morale. They immediately felt courage and put aside the panic caused by the North Korean army. The low-level officers immediately began to reorganize their team, and they started to regroup just behind Li Dingguo's troops. They followed behind them and launched another attack.
Originally, the Ming Army's forward side was about to be cut off by the Jianlu, but Li Dingguo led the army to kill in time. The thunderous roar and the timely arrival of reinforcements made the morale of the Ming Army's forward side soar. When they got up, they who were already a little exhausted from the killing didn't know where they got their new strength. They were a little panicked, but they immediately became fearless and went back to kill them. They attacked from a pincer attack and quickly defeated the Jianlu army that tried to encircle and cut them.
Yue Tuo, who was hiding in the dark, looked very helpless. Seeing that the war was about to be won, he was pulled back by the Ming army.
Now that there are no more troops in hand, if we really want to send them again, we can only send ourselves. The most important thing is that Yue Tuo understands that even if he and his guards rush forward, it will not change the situation of the battle significantly.
Now in this situation, we can only see which side can't withstand it first, then the other side will win!
This battle begins with a battle of will.
"kill……"
Outside Pyongyang, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering and resounded through the sky. If reinforcements from one side arrive at this time, the winner can be determined immediately.
However, on Jianlu's side, it is obvious that no reinforcements have arrived yet.
On the Ming army side, there are still some Korean soldiers in Pyongyang City. However, Jin Sangxian on the top of the city was already stupid. Because he saw that the war situation was originally very favorable, but because the North Korean army did not fight, the war was almost lost! In this case, even if he was given ten more courages, he would not dare to send troops out of the city.
Seeing the fighting on the battlefield in darkness, Jin Shangxian felt that there was nothing he could do. He was no longer optimistic at this time, so he could only pray silently on the top of the city, hoping that the Ming army would win.
The war was still going on, but time would not wait for anyone. Before we knew it, it was already evening, and it was getting dark.
At this time, both the Jianlu and the Ming troops were exhausted from the battle, and they were all supported by a will. However, if it gets dark, it will be impossible to continue fighting.
As a result, both sides began to break away in unison. When it got dark, the two sides broke away. The battle outside Pyongyang finally ended due to the weather.
This battle was truly earth-shattering and extremely difficult. The Ming army showed a very tenacious fighting spirit. However, it still failed to complete the battle intention and ultimately failed to defeat the Jianlu.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and personally held the line, letting his soldiers support the wounded soldiers, and carried the bodies of the dead soldiers back into Pyongyang City. At this time, the role of the North Korean army came into play. This work is basically done by them.
After arriving at the top of Pyongyang City, facing Kim Sang-hyun's surprised look and greetings hurriedly, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "It's all Jianlu's blood, I'm fine!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the Jianlu camp in the darkness, his heart filled with worry.
Although this battle seemed to end in a draw, it was actually still a defeat!
Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that his opponent, Yue Tuo, the commander of the Jianlu outside the city, was just as worried as him.
