Chapter 153: Facing the Enemy 2

As night fell, the Qing army did not open the fort gate and surrendered, and Lin Qingye did not send out any messengers.

The melodious horn sounded in the valley, and Lin Qingye began to attack. He drew a thousand weak soldiers from the army, divided them into five squads, and took turns to move forward.

That night, the sound of killing, the sound of war drums, and the sound of trumpets did not stop overnight. The rockets shuttled over the fort and retreated after one round. Then in the next round, the soldiers stepped forward, shot again, and retreated again.

Round after round, for a while.

In the dark night, the Qing army could not figure out how many enemy troops there were, and did not know when the main force of the enemy would really attack. They could only be on guard and deal with it carefully.

From Udu Ayan to every soldier below, everyone opened their eyes wide and did not dare to rest for a moment. They spent a difficult night in panic.

The sky turned white and Lin Qingye withdrew the 1,000 soldiers last night.

There was a night of noisy, and only two unlucky guys died. One of them accidentally slipped during the retreat, and his head happened to hit the stone and he died of excessive bleeding. The other was shot into the vital force by the bow and arrow.

In addition, there were more than a dozen people who were injured by arrows, and the losses were basically negligible.

The Qing army occupied the territory and the losses were probably even lower. The difference was that they had few people and had no rest all night.

Then, Lin Qingye picked out two thousand soldiers from the army, and formed a group of five hundred people, and still took turns to attack.

The difference is that these people are wearing armor and helmets, holding shields in one hand, long swords in the other hand or spears in the other. Among the many soldiers, there are also people carrying simple flight ladders and bravely moving forward.

The archers hid behind the shield soldiers, and the cavalry came forward from time to time and shot out bows and arrows to help.

The offensive was not fierce, but the shields were defended closely to reduce the damage caused to them by the bow and arrow. Moreover, they retreated as soon as they were frustrated, and rarely fought close combat with the enemy. When it comes to capturing the fort, they seemed to care more about the casualties and injuries of their own troops. But as last night, the attack continued.

Without a rest all night, the extremely tired Qing army could only barely cheer up and deal with it with all their strength. Their losses began to worsen, and the Liao army had already attacked the wall several times.

Although there was no broken fort, it was extremely threatening. Udu Ayan had already invested all the reserve forces.

The Liao army camp did not move, but the front camp moved within three miles. The leader of the army set up more than a dozen large pots filled with various dried meat and boiled them with snow water.

The aroma of meat scattered everywhere and floated into the Qing army fortress from afar.

Seeing the soldiers of the Keliao army siege retreating and could swallow their flesh and bones with their bodies and bones, the Qing army, who were frozen and hungry, and tired, could only get stains from their mouths, and they were envious.

From time to time, gongs and drums were beating, and loud soldiers shouted loudly at the fortress, urging them to surrender. Frightened by the flag soldiers beside them, they did not dare to make any moves, and they were full of angry words "What reinforcements are coming". But it would be strange if they could boost the morale of the army with a few words that were out of reach.

At noon, the reinforcements that Udu Ayan had been expecting still did not appear. The morale of the Qing army, especially the Han soldiers, had long been the gentle and cowardly they were originally, but were full of provocation.

Udu Ayan was extremely uneasy and shouted anxiously on the wall to boost morale. But at this moment, the enemy camp suddenly sounded the sound of gold, and the attacking enemy retreated.

Just when he was confused, the other party rushed over. With a strong swing, a head with a long braid fell down and rolled to the feet of Udu Ayan.

The cavalry shouted loudly: "Are you waiting for reinforcements? They have been defeated by our army halfway, and the Niu Mao and Horse Camp have also been obtained by our army. You are now dead, but my general does not want to kill too much and is willing to save your life. In the fort, whether Han or Koreans, as long as you kill all the flag guards in the fort, you can survive. This is your last chance and the only chance. Half an hour later, our army will attack with all its strength."

The Qing army around him looked pale and unconsciously looked at their chief general Udu Ayan.

At this moment, Udu Ayan was not much better. But after a moment, he suddenly laughed dryly and said loudly: "Lin Qingye couldn't attack, so he used such a trick. He said that the reinforcements had been defeated by them, but they were just bluffing and trying to disrupt our morale. Soldiers, I just got the news that the reinforcements were less than ten miles away. As long as you hold on for another hour, the reinforcements will definitely arrive. At that time, everyone guarding the fort will reward five taels, no, ten taels of silver."

After saying that, Udu Ayan walked down the wall quickly, completely ignoring the dull response around him.

Akmin followed and asked in a low voice: "General, why don't I know when did you get the news?"

Udu Ayan glared at him, "Idiots, you really believe it when you lied to them! Hurry up and gather all the scattered flag soldiers together and prepare to evacuate."

Akming didn't react for a moment and said in a daze: "What?"

Udu Ayan said anxiously: "There are no reinforcements, and the head is from Niu Maozhai Niulu. I have seen him. They did not attack with all their strength, not because they could not attack Fucha, but instead led us to ask for help from behind. They set up an ambush halfway to annihilate the reinforcements. Now that the reinforcements are gone, the morale of the army is in chaos. If we don't escape, we will be dead."

Akming's face changed and he was stunned on the spot, but soon he shook his head vigorously with an expression of disbelief. "How did they set up an ambush behind us?"

Udu Ayan said speechlessly: "Where did the enemy troops behind Fucha come from? Here controls the northward road, but it is not the only road. There are many small roads around you that can pass through soldiers. Lin Qingye must have explored the road long ago and attacked the fort here. In fact, the soldiers had already sneaked over. As for hundreds or thousands, who knows! I only know that if we don't leave now, there will be no chance. Go and gather all the flag soldiers together, I go to the horse shed, and we will leave when we are ready."

Akming looked shocked and pondered for a moment, knowing that Udu Ayan’s words were reasonable. He then asked, “What about the others in the fort! What should I do if there are those wounded soldiers?”

Udu Ayan lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you see the eyes of those Han soldiers? In order to survive, they are definitely willing to kill us. As for the wounded soldiers, they don't care about them at this moment. Those who can follow them will leave, and those who can't leave will stay. The key is to be fast, Lin Qingye only left us for half an hour."

When the Han soldiers and Korean soldiers were slumped on the city wall and finally able to rest for a while, they did not notice that the flag soldiers scattered around them quietly retreated.

Even if someone saw it, he didn't dare to ask questions, but just kept his mind secretly.
