Chapter 678 Victory is at hand

The Tartars' spear also arrived as scheduled. Because it was one foot shorter, not every spear could hit the target, but there were still soldiers from the Tiance Army who were unfortunately caught.

"receive!"

The spears that penetrated the enemy's body were taken back one after another. The spearhead was stained with the enemy's blood. With the spear being retracted, the four Tartars collapsed and blood gushed out. Although they struggled to stand up, their efforts were in vain and they died in pain during the rapid blood loss.

"Thorn again!"

Except for the two fallen soldiers, the remaining nine spears stabbed forward again. Although there were fewer people, their results did not decrease. Five Tartars fell under the attack, and the Tiance Army lost two more.

"receive!"

"Thorn again!"

...

The battle between the two sides quickly became fierce, and the same battle was staged on various small battlefields.

Under the leadership of various leaders, the Tiance Army stabbed out rows of spears with force, then retracted them, and then stabbed them with all their strength, slaughtering the enemies in front of them in a cycle. Each round of attacks could always harvest the lives of several Tartars.

The Tartars were not to be outdone. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of weapons, they had an advantage in numbers. The Tiance Army only sent one large squad, while the Tartar heavy-armored infantry had more than 1,000 troops, with a force of 2 to 1, and the two sides fought evenly.

Rounds of stabbing and killing were crazily harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides. The scene was extremely bloody and cruel, but neither side retreated. The battle on any small battlefield was at the cost of destroying all the enemies.

Because both sides are in a trench, it is difficult to climb up, and there is no place to dodge and move. Even if you turn around and run, you will not be able to escape under the pursuit of the enemy. Only by destroying all the enemies can you ensure your survival.

The military discipline of the Tiance Army was strict, and the military discipline of the Tatars was not bad. Both sides treated the soldiers who used for combat generously, but the punishment for the escape at the last moment was also very strong, so no one thought about escape at the last moment.

The bloody battle in the trench continued, but the attacks on each other did not stop. Both sides were worried about hurting their own people by chance, so they did not open fire on the enemies in the trench, but there was no difficulty in attacking the enemy without soldiers located in the trench.

There were forty feet between the two walls. The bullets of the Tiance Army could be shot, and the Tartars' bows and arrows could also be shot. Arrows and projectiles whizzed past the heads of heavy-armored infantry on both sides, but did not have any impact on them.

There were about twenty Yunfei cannons, tilting the projectiles towards the Tartar soldiers, and the artillery on the Tartars also fired back and forth, and the two sides were having a lot of fun fighting.

When Yue Tuo came, Huang Taiji specially assigned him ten Folang machines to attack the toughest, but in front of the Yunfei cannon of the Tiance Army, it was not worth mentioning at all, and the firepower and accuracy were no longer the same level.

After several rounds of shooting, the Tartars's Flanger firepower was soon suppressed by the Yunfei Cannon of the Tiance Army, and they could only barely fire a few cannons during the interval between the Yunfei Cannon fire.

With the loss of heavy armored infantry, both sides began to replenish their forces and continued this bloody battle. Compared with shooting from the air, the fighting efficiency below is undoubtedly much higher.

Seeing the heavy armored infantry falling down one after another in the trench, Yue Tuo felt like he was bleeding. These were all Jurchen warriors, not Mongolians, nor Han military flags and Koreans. They were the most precious warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom, and they died one by one.

But he knew that he could only move forward by any means now, otherwise all the casualties before would be useless, and those who died would be in vain.

He didn't understand why these Han dogs were not afraid of death. Although the casualties of Han dogs were less, the casualties rate was not much smaller than their number, but they did not retreat at all, and their tenacity was no less than that of the Great Golden Warriors.

Seeing the bloody battle in the trench, the Great Jin Warriors were beaten and retreated step by step. Yue Tuo continued to send two more Niulu, and he must be stabilized. Otherwise, he would pay such a great price but only conquered the first line of defense. How can he gain a foothold in the Great Jin Kingdom in the future?

Yue Tuo is now like a gambler. He has lost nearly two thousand people in the two battles in this battle. He can only continue to bet. As long as he can win the final victory, the prices are tolerable.

At this time, He Wenzhao brought a few generals under his command to the second line of defense to watch the battle. The battle was in full swing. They were idle behind and they were fine, so they simply asked to come forward to help the battle. Kong Youde was worried that they would cause trouble, so he only let a few leaders come up.

When they saw the bloody scene, even though they had been through the battle formation for a long time, they could not help but sweat. The troops on both sides fought to the death in the trench. If they were their subordinates, such a scene would have collapsed long ago, but the soldiers of the Tiance Army did not retreat at all, and used their lives to block the Tartars' attack.

Kong Youde calmly paid attention to the situation. The strength of the Tartars still exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that such a bloody battle could force them to retreat, but they were still increasing their troops. Although there were a few timids who wanted to run away, they were immediately killed by grassroots officers, but their fighting will was so strong.

After almost a stick of incense, Kong Youde saw that it was almost done and said, "Come on, let them withdraw!"

Hearing the order to retreat, the heavy armored infantry who had almost advanced to the first line of defense stopped, stabbed the spears in their hands again, and then continued to keep a neat line and began to retreat slowly.

However, the heavy armored infantry of the Tartars still maintained a defensive posture, and the grassroots officers were also waiting for the orders from their superiors, just watching the other party retreat.

Instead of waiting for the order, it would be better to say that they were afraid of being beaten. Although they did not flee, they were basically in a defensive state. Now they wanted them to attack, they really didn't have the courage, and Yue Tuo knew this, so he just let them stand on time.

After Du Rui's heavy-armored infantry retreated, they were not idle and immediately retreated in the third direction. Moreover, other troops on the second line of defense also began to retreat in batches.

"This has been won, why do you still have to retreat?"

Witnessing that the Tiance Army destroyed most of the heavy armored Tartars, but still gave up the second line of defense, a man under He Wenzhao asked in confusion.

He Wenzhao also said with an excited look on his face, "When we came here just now, do you still remember the cannons you saw?"

"So that's it!" This man suddenly realized.

When he thought of the nearly 100 cannons, he couldn't help but shivered. The Tiance Army had so many cannons, but did not take them all out. Instead, it was placed on the last line of defense. The purpose was too obvious.

At the same time, he was also surprised by Kong Youde's appetite. Except for those warships, there were only more than 4,000 troops on the land, but he wanted to destroy 20,000 enemy troops, including nearly 40,000 Tartars. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that man was crazy.

After watching the battle for so long, he had a rough understanding of the performance of the Yunfei Cannon. There were a total of 120 Yunfei Cannons. Even if the 20,000 enemy troops were all Tartars, they could not withstand such fierce artillery fire.

You know, in the Tashan Fort they were originally stationed, there were only a mere five Folang machines that could suppress the two Niulu Tartars and keep Tashan Fort from losing.

At this time, Kong Youde came over and said straight to the point, "He Wenzhao, do you want to make some military achievements?"

"General, what do you mean?"

He Wenzhao felt a little excited because the Tiance army looked down on them before and only asked them to do some tricks, such as carrying artillery, artillery, shells, and taking prisoners. They had no share in fighting.

They were also happy and didn't have to go up and fight the Tartars to fight to the death, but seeing the Tiance Army's powerful strength, their minds also changed.

Since the Tiance Army is so strong, can they join the Tiance Army? Even if they can't, it's okay to follow them to make some military achievements.

Seeing Kong Youde's intention, he planned to send them to fight, He Wenzhao was of course excited.

Kong Youde said lightly, "I think you still have some courage. Now I can give you a chance to gain military achievements. Whether you can seize it depends on your own."

"My Lord has any instructions, although He's subordinates are not as brave as the general's soldiers, they are not those who are cowardly before the battle.

Kong Youde said in a long story short, "Okay, you will take the cavalry to find Li Tai now. What you will do next depends on his arrangements. Your contribution will be indispensable at that time!"

"I will obey the order!" He Wenzhao said decisively, and then went to find Li Tai.

The current situation is completely following Kong Youde's plan, but the troops are still not strong enough, so in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, he simply used He Wenzhao's troops. Although their strength is not enough, they are professional troops after all. Moreover, when Zhang Dahu attacked the Tashan Tartars, he dared to attack, which means that he still has some ability and will not help too much, and he can also use it at this time.

He Wenzhao went to find Li Tai, while Kong Youde continued to retreat to the third wall with the remaining troops. Unlike the front, there were flat ground between the second and third walls, and there were not even landmines, but the distance was much larger, almost seventy or eighty feet wide.

The entire retreat was in an orderly manner, and the discipline of the Tiance Army was fully demonstrated at this moment. Those who left first and those who left later came according to the orders. Those who left later would not be worried about being caught up by the enemy and retreat first and causing chaos.

At first, when he saw the heavy armored infantry of the Tiance Army retreating, Yue Tuo was also a little suspicious whether this was another trick, so he did not rashly lead the army to pursue it, but continued to shoot against the Tiance Army at a distance of about 40 feet.

But as he fought, he found that the firepower of the second line of defense was gradually weakening, and fewer soldiers were showing their heads, and the firing frequency of the artillery was also decreasing.

Although Yue Tuo had some doubts, he still sent a Niu Lu to attack along the trench full of blood and corpses. As a result, he advanced to the second wall without encountering any attack from the enemy.

So they began to smash the door and split several wooden doors with machetes, but they suddenly found that behind the wall, not to mention people, there was not even a body, and they could only see an enemy retreating in the distance.

They did not pursue the situation rashly, but instead made the second line of defense in the war, and then reported the situation on Yuetuo's side.

Yue Tuo, who received the news, decisively ordered the entire army to advance and soon occupied the second line of defense.

Although the second line of defense was actually in control, Yue Tuo always felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that it was really strange that the enemy gave up the second line of defense this time. The Tiance Army was at an advantage in the battle in the trench just now.

Although the Tiance Army suffered a lot of casualties, it was not at all at the point of defeat. It was obviously unreasonable to retreat at this time. If the Tiance Army continued to hold on, even if they paid a thousand people, they might not be able to capture it.

In other words, there may be some conspiracy and intrigues in the active retreat of the Tiance Army, or some chaos occurred in the rear, and Hauge and Saha made progress, and they had to shrink their defense.

But according to the report, Haoge and his team are fighting very hard now, that is, the Tiance army retreated according to the scheduled plan, otherwise they would not have retreated so smoothly.

Then, he guessed that the strategy of the Tiance Army was to use multiple defense lines to drag them down step by step, so he did not concentrate all his efforts to defend the two defense lines in front, and wanted to concentrate all the troops from the three defense lines to completely lose them.

Although the soldiers are very tired now, Yuetuo decided to launch an attack immediately. The enemy had only three lines of defense, which had already broken through two. As long as they broke through the third one, everything would be over, but there would be more casualties.

Since the trenches between the first two lines of defense were not filled, their war horses, shield chariots and other engineering equipment could not be transported all, so they could only attack by the infantry first. For Yuetuo, the difference was not very big.

When the Great Jin Kingdom fought, it was not just a volley, but more importantly, a close-knit fight.

The previous hand-to-hand combat in the trench was completely impossible for them to perform, and the archers behind them could not provide support, otherwise they would definitely not be the ones who lost.

When it was discovered that the Tiance army did not retreat all into the third wall, but instead arranged an array outside the wall, Yue Tuo was overjoyed, which means that there would be no landmines in this area and there would be no need to be bombed again. In addition, this kind of field battle has always been what they are good at.

"Arrange and fight!"

With a command, the generals who were originally worried had a surge in battle, rekindled their fighting spirit, gathered their soldiers and prepared to rush forward.

The front is the Han army flag and Korean soldiers used to be cannon fodder. Their function is to resist artillery fire and provide cover for the Eight Banners soldiers in the rear.

On the side of the Tiance Army, Zhang Dahu's two brigades were arranged in the middle, in three rows, and on both wings were Du Rui's spearmen. A total of two thousand people were just waiting under the third wall.
