Chapter 416 Bloody Battle
Evacuate? Where to retreat?
Now that he has joined the battle, how can Jian Nu allow the cannon fodder to retreat.
The supervising team killed more than 20 retreating Korean soldiers with a hail of arrows. They could only turn around and charge forward. Behind them, Shang Kexi, the Han army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia also launched a charge...
"kill!"
The Ming army was rushed by two armies, and the phalanx was quickly dispersed, and they could only fight on their own.
Jin Riguan's eyes were bloodshot and he raised his sword to chop a North Korean soldier into two pieces, and then he swept the sword across and killed two Han soldiers...
At the only place in the northwest of Pi Island where one could land, Shuotuo and Geng Zhongming led three thousand soldiers to land.
As long as they rush up to a not-so-high cliff ahead, three thousand people will be able to successfully enter the core of Pi Island.
Shuo Tuo patted Geng Zhongming on the shoulder and laughed happily:
"You, a slave like you, have a way to actually know that there is such a landing place in the northwest of Pi Island. Ming Gou would never have thought that the Eight Banners Warriors had quietly logged in, hahaha...
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were three big traitors. They all used to be under the command of Pi Dao Mao Wenlong. Of course they were very familiar with Pi Dao. Hearing Shuo Tuo's compliment, Geng Zhongming suddenly showed a charming smile on his face.
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Belle!"
Even though Shuotuo was Baylor and he was the county king, the two of them had real identities as slaves, and Baylor was far superior to them, the Three Shun Kings, in all aspects.
Shang Geng Zhongming looked at the cliff in the distance and laughed:
"Quickly, climb up the cliff. The first achievement is our army. Let Kong Youdeshang be happy and they have worked in vain, hahaha..."
Geng Zhongming, who was so carried away, did not know that Kong Youde, who had climbed to the top of the cliff on the east coast of Pi Island, had almost the same idea as him...
Geng Zhongming led the Eight Banners Han Army in the front, and Shuotuo led the eight hundred Jiannu in the rear. The three thousand people quickly arrived at the bottom of the cliff and began to climb along a dozen simple wooden ladders.
The cliff is more than four meters high and can be climbed up in a few breaths. Both Jiannu and the Han army were secretly happy that they had invaded Pi Island without anyone noticing.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, countless huge rocks fell from the top of the cliff. Jiannu and the Han army at the bottom of the cliff were instantly knocked down in large pieces, but the rocks continued to fall.
Although Jiannu wore two and three layers of armor, he still suffered more than 100 casualties under the blow from the huge rocks, and the Han army suffered more than 300 casualties.
"Retreat quickly, suppress with bows and arrows!"
Shuotuo reacted and immediately ordered Jiannu to retreat and use bows and arrows to suppress the attack from above, while the Han army continued to climb up.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The five hundred Jiannu archers immediately retreated fifty steps and began to shoot arrows from above. Five hundred arrows shot to the top of the cliff in an instant, and the sound of metal intersecting and painful wails could be heard from above.
It turned out that there were more than 2,000 Pidao Ming troops and civilians on the cliff. They were the ones who pushed the big stone down the cliff just now. Of course Shen Shikui knew that Jiannu was very powerful with bows and arrows, and the Ming troops were protected by shields.
However, Pidao was short of supplies and shields were simply not enough. Some of the civilians and soldiers who were shot were not protected by shields, and more than thirty people were killed by a hail of arrows from Jiannu.
Upon seeing this, the guerrilla general Dong Xuebing hurriedly asked the people to withdraw from the bow and arrow range, and ordered the soldiers protected by shields to continue pushing the rocks below.
Due to the long-term lack of food and supplies, the Pi Island soldiers who participated in the war had few decent pieces of armor on them, and many civilians were even skinnier.
Because most of the people were Liao people who had fled from the rule of Jiannu, and when they knew that Jiannu was attacking Pi Island, they all took the initiative to help recover the island.
They knew very well that once Pi Dao was conquered by Jian Nu, they and their families would be slaughtered. Their desire for life made them explode with great fighting power, otherwise Jian Nu would have conquered Pi Island a month ago.
Wang Erniu was hit by an arrow in the buttocks. He knew that he would not die for the time being, so he tried his best to throw stones under the cliff.
When Jean threw the ninth stone, his throat was pierced by an arrow. Thinking that he had killed two Buddhist slaves, Wang Er smiled and closed his eyes and slowly fell down...
"brother……"
When Wang Tang, the second eldest brother of Wang, saw that his younger brother was shot and killed by an arrow, he immediately stepped forward and hugged his younger brother in pain. Then he slowly put his younger brother down and continued to carry rocks and throw them down the cliff.
After about two sticks of incense and an offensive and defensive battle, the defenders on the island only allowed a dozen Han troops to climb up the cliff, but they were quickly killed by more than 2,000 soldiers above...
The fighting on the east coast was equally fierce. As soon as the slave-building army led by Obai and Kong Youde landed ashore, they were blocked by 3,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 civilians led by Shen Shikui's captain Shen An.
Although the Ming army's combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Jiannu, their terrain and numerical advantages made it difficult for them to move even in a short period of time.
Shen Shikui, the commander-in-chief of Pi Island, led eight thousand soldiers back and forth on three battlefields.
Support wherever you are at a disadvantage. In order to support Jin Riguan, you have already fallen into a fight with the army led by Duduo.
As the battle progressed, almost all the Korean soldiers were wiped out, and the Han army also suffered heavy casualties.
Denglai Deputy Commander-in-Chief Kim Il-gwan was covered in blood, and he had killed at least thirty people. Even Kim Ok-hwa, the leader of North Korea, was cut in half by him.
Jin Riguan was still brave in wielding the sword with both hands. Shang Kexi, as the commander-in-chief of the Han army, did not dare to join the battle. He and Duoduo were both in command.
Fortunately, Jin Riguan chose the battle location on the beach, so that the Mongolian cavalry could not take advantage of it.
Otherwise, they may have been completely wiped out. With Shen Shikui leading his army to support them, the two sides fell into a bloody fight.
The vast majority of the Ming army fought with a death wish and refused to retreat, causing the Eight Banners of Jiannu, which had always been known for their bravery, to suffer.
Although the Ming army suffered a loss one on one, once they were entangled by them, they would fight to the death.
Five white-armored soldiers had just killed a dozen Ming soldiers, and were immediately pushed to the ground by more than twenty Ming soldiers regardless of life and death. The white-armored soldiers wearing three layers of armor fell to the ground and were unable to move, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
After killing more than a dozen Ming soldiers, their throats were cut one after another. One of them, Niu Luzhangjin, had his throat forcibly broken. The Ming soldiers bit off General Liu Kui and both of them died together...
After all, the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Jiannu. Although the Ming army is not afraid of life and death, its numbers are getting smaller and smaller as time goes by.
The battle continued into the afternoon and was surrounded by the three armies of the Jiannu. Jin Riguan was seriously injured at this time, but he still persisted. Shen Shikui was occasionally slashed on the arm and thigh, and was about to be surrounded and annihilated by the entire army.
"Come on, let's fight Jian Nu..."
At this moment, a large group of people rushed over to the island, including men and women, some carrying farm tools and some holding weapons. There were more than 5,000 people in total.
Relying on the large number of people and not fearing life and death, this group of common people shouted loudly and rushed into the formation, desperately killing and smashing the Jiannu, Han and Mongolian troops.
Although Jiannu could cut down one person with one strike, thousands of people were being beaten and beaten, and they couldn't be killed in a short time. In addition, they were tired from fighting for most of the day, so they were beaten in a hurry.
Jin Riguan, Shen Shikui, and Wang Youyi relied on their bodies to support the battle back to back. Seeing young men and women coming to die, the three highest-ranking generals on Phidao shed tears.
Prince Duduo of Yu, who had been directing the battle, originally wanted to massacre all of Pidao. Seeing so many people coming to fight for their lives, he reached out and drew the sword from his waist and shouted:
"Everyone go up and kill all the living people on the island, kill!"
More than three hundred Zhengbai Banner cloth armor and fifty white armor soldiers who protected Duduo but did not participate in the battle immediately accompanied Duduo into the formation. The Ming army and civilians who stood in front of them were hacked to death...
At this moment, a fleet came galloping forward, with five huge warships sailing in front, instantly comparing the Jiannu warships to toys.
The Jiannu warship Hai, who was guarding the sea to prevent the Ming army and people from escaping on the island, tried to intercept them. Hundreds of red-coated cannons on the sides of the five giant warships instantly sprayed out bursts of fury.
"Rumble..."
The huge iron ball hit the Jiannu warship and sent sawdust flying everywhere, and the sea water surged into the cabin and sank quickly...
