Chapter 647 The Day of Light
In fact, as long as Li Yongfang persists for another quarter or two, or even half a quarter of an hour, the entire battle situation can be completely changed. Even if the Heishan Camp and the Dongshan Mining Students are not subject to devastating blows, they will be forced to withdraw from the Dongshan Camp, but now Li Yongfang orders the retreat first.
In fact, the Han soldiers under Li Yongfang had been waiting for Li Yongfang to issue an order. Although there were many outlaws among them, most of them were cherishing their lives like Li Yongfang, otherwise they would not have surrendered to the Jurchens. The reason why they dared not retreat now was entirely because of the bloody suppression of Nurhaci and Li Yongfang.
Therefore, as soon as Li Yongfang spoke, the Han soldiers and servants immediately dropped their weapons, flags, supplies, and even a large handful of gold and silver goods, and fled backward at a speed as fast as lightning. They even threw the seriously injured people directly on the position and retreated like an avalanche. The Heishan Camp and the Dongshan Minemen hesitated for a moment and were unable to catch up.
The Jurchen Aunt Leader didn't dream that Li Yongfang would be defeated so quickly and so simply. In almost the blink of an eye, Li Yongfang's central army of Han and Mongolian Army had already been defeated. Only a dozen Han soldiers who escaped too slowly were made into dumplings by the Heishan Camp. What's worse is that when this new Han and Mongolian army saw that Li Yongfang had retreated, they also gave up the good situation on the battlefield and retreated directly.
Since even Li Yongfang couldn't hold on, why did they fight to attack? Maybe whoever attacked the fastest would be the key target of Dongshan Mine disciples, so they retreated quickly.
Seeing that the Han and Mongolian New Army were defeated on the entire line, the Jurchen Niu Lue, who was in charge of supervising the battle, was so angry that he jumped up and shouted loudly at Li Yongfang: "You dare to retreat without authorization? I will report to the Khan and the Bellers that you are timid and afraid of death!"
But Li Yongfang quickly pulled the defeated general and retreated to join the Jurchen Niulu.
Seeing a small Niu Lue, he really dared not give him face, but Li Yongfang carefully apologized: "Sir, it's not that he is timid and afraid of death to retreat without authorization, but that the brothers really can't hold on. There are only more than 350 brothers in total. Now there are 170 or 80 people who are thrown on the mountain. The brothers really can't hold on and they can't retreat!"
Speaking of this, Li Yongfang almost started to cry: "This is the first time since the expedition with Da Khan, I have suffered such great damage and lost so many brothers. Master Beile, please help me explain to Da Khan and all the bells that I lost so many brothers because I fought to the death with these island thieves!"
Li Yongfang is exaggerating the fact that he brought 360 people to attack this year, and now there are about 110 prisoners and seriously injured prisoners who are thrown on Dongshan.
In addition, there were thirty or forty minor and serious wounded people running back with Li Yongfang. Although Li Yongfang's team suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, most of the main forces escaped.
But Li Yongfang knew very well the philosophy of survival among the Jurchens. He had to exaggerate his losses and achievements in order to live among the Jurchens, so he almost doubled his losses.
Seeing Li Yongfang crying with shit and tears, and stuffing a lot of broken silver over, Niu Lue really thought it would be difficult for a Han official to work so hard for the Jin Dynasty, so he immediately put away the broken silver: "I know, Mr. Li, you are right... Go back and sort it out, and you can take Dongshan after rushing again later! I don't believe in evil. We have broken even big cities like Liaoyang and Shenyang, and we can't take the small Dongshan."
Niu Lue really thought it was very simple, but at this time Li Yongfang quickly complained about his hardship with a skilled Jurchen word: "The Jurchen master is above and the lower officials can still rush. I'm afraid it's not easy for other brothers..."
In fact, Li Yongfang's team could not rush at all. In the previous battles, he had become the key target of attacks for the Heishan Camp and the Dongshan Mine Pupils. He finally retreated, but now he has no courage to rush up the mountain again.
Whenever he thought of the emergence, he would be repeatedly attacked by the Heishan Camp and the Dongshan Mine Pupils. Even old traitors like Li Yongfang felt that the matter of the lead should be left to the Jurchens to be responsible, but Niu Luezhen was a little unbelievable: "How is it possible? They were not seriously injured, why are they unwilling to rush? I'll ask them to go!"
But he asked several major officers of the new Han and Mongolian army about this question. These Mongolian leaders and Han officials knelt down directly, saying that they could no longer rush today. If Abatai did not send troops to support him, he would probably not dare to rush up tomorrow.
Although these Mongolian, Han, and North Korea were not seriously injured, and the total was less than half of Li Yongfang, and there were more injured and fewer dead, this was simply unbearable loss for them, and it took a lot of effort to persevere until now.
Moreover, they saw with their own eyes how Li Yongfang took the lead in attacking upwards. Even Li Yongfang, who had the strongest combat effectiveness in this new Han and Mongolian army, threw away his armor and stepped down the mountain. How could they have the courage to continue to attack the mountain?
Therefore, they would rather be whipped than continue to attack upwards, and Jurchen Niu Luezhen did not expect such a situation: "What should I do?"
The officers of the Han and Mongolian officers said in unison: "This matter depends on the skills of Mr. Li!"
Li Yongfang immediately said: "This matter depends on all the Jurchen masters, it is better..."
Li Yongfang did not continue to say it, but everyone understood what he meant. Now the Jurchen Niu had to rush to the front and then the Han and Mongolian New Army waved flags and shouted in the back.
However, although this Jurchen Niu Luezhen has followed Abatai for many years and learned Abatai's bravery skills, she still knows the severity of the matter. She knows that these new Han and Mongolian troops were scared by the Dongshan mine disciples. If she took the lead in attacking Dongshan, she would probably be the situation where these two hundred Jurchen armored soldiers fought alone against the Heishan Camp and the Dongshan mine disciples fought to the end.
Although the casualties of the two hundred people who fought in Niu Lu were less than one-tenth of the troops, whether it was Li Yongfang or other Han and Mongolian new army, they might be waving flags and shouting to watch the tiger fight. Maybe they would fight to the death and not save them, but would wait until they were defeated before picking peaches.
But these Dongshan miners and Heishan camp were extremely numerous, and hundreds of lands flocked to them. Even if our Niulu could wipe out the Dongshan miners, they would end up killing each other and burning them all. They also made Li Yongfang and others take advantage of it. When they think of this, Niulu really made up his mind: "It seems that we will go to the Seventh Prince and ask them to send troops to attack Dongshan. Otherwise, with our thousand people, we would not be able to surround such a large territory in Dongshan, and we would definitely run away many thieves!"
Hearing that the Jurchens were not determined to make a concerted effort, the Mongolian and Han generals present breathed a sigh of relief: "The Jurchens are right. Dongshan is so big, so we can't surround us!"
Ji Jinsi on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. Today's battle situation was too dangerous. If Li Yongfang persisted for another quarter or two, perhaps the Dongshan Mine Gate and Heishan Camp would be defeated now.
Fortunately, Li Yongfang not only collapsed, but even had no time to send out the seriously injured, leaving nearly a hundred bodies, more than twenty seriously injured and more than a dozen prisoners. Now, both the Dongshan Mine disciples and the Heishan Camp are full of fighting spirit, and cheers come one after another, directly overwhelming the roar of the Jin general Ding at the foot of the mountain.
Li Yuchun's forehead was covered with sweat. He was a student from Gaizhou. Although he had reputation in the countryside, he was a "no-soldier". Today's earth-shaking fight scared him and he was sweating all over. Until now, he was still secretly grateful.
Fortunately, Ji Jinsi's Heishan Camp came, otherwise the Dongshan Camp would have been defeated by Jiannu today!
If the Heishan Camp had not been desperately arrested Li Yongfang's headquarters and attacked continuously, the Dongshan Mine disciples were also encouraged by the Heishan Camp to siege Li Yongfang, perhaps Li Yuchun would have to flee in a hurry now!
He thought he had two or three thousand miners in his hands, and he was the chief leader of the Gaizhou Yi soldiers. Moreover, the Dongshan miners were mostly brave and brave. Even the Jurchen Tatars came to besiege the Dongshan Camp, so they could be as stable as Mount Tai. However, the Jurchen Tatars had not even used up all their strength. They just sent two or three hundred people to supervise the battle and let Li Yongfang be responsible for besieging Dongshan. The Dongshan Camp could no longer withstand it. Fortunately, Ji Jinsi turned the tide and stabilized the situation.
So now Li Yuchun regards Ji Jinsi as his life-saving straw: "General Jiying, do you think Li Yongfang and Jiannu will kill him up the mountain again? There are many soldiers today. If Li Yongfang and Jiannu launch an offensive again, they may not be able to hold on!"
He has changed from extreme optimism to extreme tragedy. Today, Jiannu and Li Yongfang have suffered at most two or three hundred casualties. In Dongshan, the casualties of Dongshan miners alone have reached nearly five hundred, and the Heishan Camp has also suffered heavy damage.
But Ji Jinsi is very confident now: "Since we can defeat Jiannu's first attack on the mountain, we can defeat the second wave of siege. Brother Li, don't worry, although the Black Mountain Camp has suffered a lot of casualties, it can still withstand the scene. I have notified Changsheng Island to send reinforcements and supplies to come!"
When Li Yuchun heard that Changsheng Island would send reinforcements here, he really felt that he had saved his life. He shouted repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!"
Ji Jinsi only brought 150 people to the land, and then recruited some defeated soldiers and generals who were defeated by Jin Fu. However, the role of today's fight was comparable to that of thousands of mine disciples, so he immediately made up his mind: "General Jiying, you will be in charge of our Dongshan military use in the future. How much troops will be added to the Heishan Camp be? You are the one who will be the leader! I wonder when Jiannu will launch a new offensive against Dongshan?"
