Chapter 96 Night attack on the enemy camp and rush to Laiyang’s rescue(1/2)
The Qing army on the south bank of Lai River was ordered to escort military supplies and the captive team of Jialaezhenhulibu.
Due to the rainy weather for several days, the speed of Hulibu's march has been severely affected.
Hulibu led more than 1,500 soldiers, including 300 wounded soldiers.
In addition, the captive team consisted of more than 20,000 young and strong men and women. If these captured people were not rescued, they would be taken back to Liaodong and become slaves to Jiannu.
In the evening, Hulibu led his army to Shahe Town, which he had just walked past a few days ago.
Because the people in the town had moved long ago, there was no one in the huge town.
"Camp here tonight, make a fire and cook, and continue to rush tomorrow morning." Hulibu rode a horse to a deserted house, turned over and stepped off the horse.
"Go, find two women for me. It's so cold tonight. I need to warm my bed."
After winter comes, with rainy weather, the temperature drops, which is really cold.
Hearing Hulibu's orders, the guards on both sides laughed.
Among the young and strong people they captured, there were thousands of women, and they were all spoils.
Under Hulibu's leadership, the guards and generals in the army rushed into the captive team like a group of beasts and pulled away hundreds of female relatives.
Facing Jiannu's cold sabre, the male prisoners could only curse silently, but no one dared to resist.
"Help, help!"
"Beasts, you beasts..."
The women who were insulted could only yell and resist.
But such resistance often does not receive mercy, but instead it is the beating and killing of the Jiannu Tartars.
This night, all these damn Jiannu Tartars were trapped in a carnival.
Even the soldiers on the patrol all ran into the captive team and did those beastly actions.
At dawn, the rain fell sparsely for a night and gradually stopped.
After heavy rain all night, thick fog was shrouded in the world. Even though the sky had already started to brighten, the visibility was still very low.
Because of this heavy rain, Zhu Yunfei had to postpone the attack.
Until the rain stopped, Zhu Yunfei led more than 8,000 troops and more than 1,000 Laizhou troops under his tent, and then launched an attack on the Qing army in Shahe Town.
"Soldiers, follow me to attack, Jiannu and Tartars, don't leave any of them, kill them all!"
Zhu Yunfei, who was riding his horse to the front of the queue, raised the Mo knife in his hand and shouted loudly under the torches raised by the soldiers on both sides.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
On the battlefield, under the illumination of torches, the Ming army soldiers rushed into Shahe Town with their weapons in their hands and shouted.
The Jiannu soldiers who were caring all night were still sleeping.
It was not until the Ming army soldiers led by Zhu Yunfei, Zhao Yue, Yang Cai and Li Zhifang rushed into the town, and the Jiannu Tartars who were awakened woke up like a dream.
"Kill, kill~ah!"
The Ming soldiers waved the spears, spears, swords and shields in their hands and rushed into the rooms, blocking the Jiannu Tartars in the house.
The Jiannu Tartars, who were dressed in disheveled and had just woken up from their sleep, hadn't even reacted.
He was killed and stabbed by the Ming soldiers who rushed in on the spot.
"Yang Cai, Li Zhifang, you two lead an army to block the exit of the town, and don't leave either."
Zhu Yunfei led his army into the town's long street and shouted loudly.
Zhao Yue, who was standing beside him, led his soldiers, rode his horse and waved his spear, and rushed directly towards a group of Jiannu soldiers who were rushing out of the house.
"Kill the slave!"
"Kill the slave!"
The soldiers of the Denglai Army who rushed into the market town and the newly-organized five thousand new recruits all had fierce expressions and sharp gazes.
Especially those new recruits, although their formation was dispersed, they were all brave, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of hatred.
This group of new recruits are from Qingzhou Prefecture, and almost everyone has relatives died at the hands of Jiannu.
Because of the murder and plunder of Jiannu in Qingzhou Prefecture, all of them were destroyed and their wives and children were separated.
If Zhu Yunfei had not rescued them under Shouguang City, their fate could be imagined.
Hatred not only makes the weak full of strength, but also inspires their courage.
Before this, almost no one of these young and strong recruits had ever been on the battlefield, let alone killed people.
But because of their hatred to the Jiannu Tartars, they now transform from sheep into ferocious wolves one by one.
"Hahaha..." A new recruit waved his sword and slashed more than thirty times on a Jiannu soldier, looking at the bloody corpse in front of him.
He couldn't help laughing wildly, holding up the bloody sword and shouting in tears.
"Dad, I avenge you, I cut a Tartar to death."
On the battlefield, situations like this have been happening all the time.
New recruits need to overcome a great psychological effect when they go to the battlefield to kill people.
But because of the hatred of the Jiannu Tartars, these recruits took this step directly.
Qing army general Hu Libu ran out of the room almost naked.
He was wearing only one pair of shorts, holding a saber in his hand. The moment he rushed out of the room, he was surrounded by several soldiers who rushed up.
"Wow!" Hu Lib, who screamed strangely, waved his saber, and his movements were swift and superb swordsmanship. He killed three new recruits in a blink of an eye.
The other two were scratched by the blade and jumped back in shock.
"Kill him, kill him!"
The soldiers on both sides shouted when they saw the shirtless coralbus so fiercely.
In a moment, dozens of soldiers rushed up, including many veterans of the Denglai Army.
But in the face of so many people's siege and killing, Hu Libu, who was solid in shape and skillful in swordsmanship, was able to move forward and retreat freely, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten more people were killed.
"Come on, come on! Who dares to come and die?" Hulibu sneered repeatedly, waved his saber, and rushed through the crowd. No one could stop him at all.
"Da!Da!Da!"
A sound of horse hooves came, and on the long street, Zhu Yunfei led more than ten cavalry and personal guards in armor and galloped over to the front.
"Does go, all of them go!" The left and right guards shouted.
Zhu Yunfei, who was galloping on a horse, held the knife with one hand, his eyes stared at Hu Libu as lightning.
"kill!"
Zhu Yunfei, who was racing on his horse, shouted loudly and the Mo Dao slashed out.
A flash of lightning flashed by, and the head of the man on the neck of the coral, caught off guard, flew out.
The corpse that lost its head took a few steps forward inertia before falling to the ground.
"Everyone of Jiannu and Tartars was killed. Kill them all for me, and no one left!"
Zhu Yun jumped up on his horse, shouted loudly, and all the soldiers of the three armies rose up excitedly.
"Kill ~ Kill all the Jiannu Tartars..."
The Ming army soldiers were so motivated that they roared at the chaos of Qing soldiers and strangled them together.
Even the captured young and strong people eventually joined the battle.
This battle, which lasted for two hours, ended with the Jiannu and all the Khannu were killed.
"General, General, we want to kill the Tartars, and to avenge the dead relatives, and ask the general to take them in."
After the battle, Zhao Yue, Yang Cai and Li Zhifang led their troops to clean the battlefield and gather and appease the people.
When Zhu Yunfei came to the captive party under the escort of his personal soldiers, he was stopped by a group of people.
Facing the people who were kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Yunfei quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Group, all the villagers, you are going to kill the Tartars and take revenge, I can understand."
"But the Tartars are not that easy to kill. They are cruel and cold-blooded. If you want to kill the Tartars, you must train strictly, otherwise you will not be able to defeat Jiannu if you go to the battlefield."
"And if you choose to join the army, you must obey discipline. If you go to the battlefield, you will have to bleed and sacrifice, so I hope you will consider it clearly."
"General Zhao, the Laizhou Guard, will take you to Laizhou City to settle down later."
"When you arrive in Laizhou, if you are willing to join the army and kill the Jiannu Tartars with me, then go and find General Zhao to join the army, and everyone will tell you whether it is okay."
Zhu Yunfei's words were sincere and sincere, which immediately made the hearts of these people who suffered from war.
At this time, Yang Cai, who had finished counting the results, came to Zhu Yunfei with a heavy face.
"General, this battle has suffered a lot of losses. More than 600 new recruits died and more than 200 injured."
"During the battle, the people who came forward were killed by mistake, more than 100 women were abused by Jiannu, and more than 300 women were humiliated."
