Chapter 635 The Battle of Fork Loss (Part 2)

Faced with the continuous attacks of the Ming army's firearms, Haril also felt an unprecedented despair. As a qualified general, he had considered himself the possibility of failure before the battle. After all, he had not considered winning, but he had first considered defeat.

But Harrier never dreamed that he would be defeated so thoroughly that he could not even shake the Ming army's formation. He would have suffered heavy casualties and the morale of the soldiers was completely wiped out. If he hadn't been supervising the battle himself, the soldiers in front would have turned around and fled long ago.

"How could this happen? Why is the Ming army so strong? Grandfather, what kind of enemy did you find for yourself?" Harrier looked at the deteriorating battle situation and said to himself with a desperate look on his face.

Song Sheng quickly gave Haril a fatal blow. With his order, the cavalry that had not moved on the right wing also rushed out quickly, like a destruction, and defeated the Haril cavalry who had already lost their fighting spirit.

However, this situation did not last long, and the entangled cavalry on the left wing also decided to win or lose. After all, with the main force's retreat, the left-wing cavalry sent by Haril naturally had no intention of fighting, and was soon repelled by the Ming army. Then the left-wing cavalry of the Ming army also drew out their troops to join the main battlefield. In addition, Song Sheng in the rear no longer preserved his strength and suppressed all the reserve troops.

Now Haril was finally defeated on the whole line, and he had to order a retreat, but the Ming cavalry followed the situation and concealed the killing. In the end, Haril was unable to survive and abandoned the army in the rear, and finally left the battlefield.

However, after the war, Hariler counted his subordinates and found that after this battle, nearly half of the 50,000 troops were lost, and now there are less than 30,000 people. What's worse is that the Ming army has been biting them tightly in the rear, obviously trying to annihilate them in this winter and give the army of Tim Eastern Expedition a warning.

Under such circumstances, Haril also lost the courage to confront the Ming army head-on. He immediately led the remnants of his troops back to the valley where he garrisoned his troops. This valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, he had made some arrangements for the valley before, so he could completely treat it as a city to resist the pursuit of the Ming army.

After counting the results of the battle, Song Sheng immediately led his troops to pursue him. After all, it was difficult to find Harriel's whereabouts, so of course he could not give up easily. Moreover, he had learned from the return mission that the person who led this vanguard army was Timur's favorite grandson. If he could capture the other party alive, it would definitely be a great achievement.

So Song Sheng chased Harrier all the way, and finally easily blocked Harrier into the valley. In the previous battle of fork force failure, Song Sheng also captured a large number of prisoners. Through interrogation of these people, he knew that there was a large amount of food and supplies stored in the valley, which was enough to allow 50,000 people to survive the entire winter.

Now that Haril's troops have been eliminated nearly half of them, the valley has become more abundant, so Song Sheng also gave up the idea of ​​siege and directly ordered a strong attack.

However, the valley chosen by Haril's is also very dangerous, with very narrow exits, with cliffs on both sides, and people cannot climb up at all. If you want to break into the valley, you can only capture this narrow entrance.

Faced with this situation, Song Sheng could only call in artillery and bombard the entrance of the valley one after another. At the beginning, it did cause some casualties to the other party, but soon the other party learned their lesson. They hid in the dead corners where artillery could not be fired on both sides of the entrance. When the Ming army organized a charge into the valley, they suddenly attacked the Ming army.

Originally, after Haril's defeat in the fork force, the morale in the army was also greatly affected. However, after retreating into this valley, Haril and his army were also trapped in the Jedi. Everyone knew that if the Ming army came in, they would definitely not have a good end. So in this desperate situation, Haril and his soldiers burst out with unprecedented courage and actually repelled the Ming army's attacks many times in succession.

Among the Ming army outside the valley, Song Sheng was so angry that he cursed when he saw the troops sent out being defeated again. Seeing victory in front of him, he could not attack this small valley, which made him extremely angry.

But no matter how angry he is, there is no way to do it. After all, the entrance to the valley is so big that he can only send thousands of people to kill him at once. No matter how many there are, he can't expand at all, so he can't exert his superior force at all. He can only watch the opponent defeat his attack again and again.

It was getting late and it would be even more difficult to attack at night, so Song Sheng had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. It had been almost ten days since the last battle of fork power failure. In addition to the time spent on the road, Song Sheng's army had been blocked by this valley for a full five days, which also brought considerable pressure to the logistics. After all, although the firearms were sharp, the requirements for logistics supply were also very high.

After returning to the camp, Song Sheng immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss matters. There was only one issue, that is, how to attack the entrance of the valley. As a result, the generals and officials under him were all staring at each other. They used all the solutions they could think of a few days ago, but there was no effect at all, so no one dared to speak now.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Are you all very good at speaking?" Song Sheng glanced at the men of his gang and immediately slapped the table and said angrily. These young generals are usually very arrogant, and some of them don't even take him as the general seriously. But when they really want to use them, these people have become mute.

Faced with Song Sheng's anger, these generals all hung their heads, but at this moment, a young general sitting at the end stood up and said, "Report to General, the general has an idea!"

"Oh? Tell me if you have any ideas!" Song Sheng relaxed his expression when he saw this young general. The young general was surnamed Wu Mingyan. He graduated from martial arts two years ago and made many military achievements after entering the army, so he was promoted very quickly. Now he has become the commander-in-chief of the army and is regarded as the backbone of the army.

"Report to General, the valley that the enemy defends is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have used all the methods we can use, but there is no effect. So I think instead of attacking in such a futile way, it is better to find a way to get the enemy out of the valley!" Wu Yan said with a serious expression.

"Get out? How do you get out?" Song Sheng asked immediately. In fact, most of the young generals under him were from martial arts like Wu Yan, but Wu Yan's performance was particularly outstanding, so he also had prestige in the army.
