On the Internet in later generations, there has always been such a saying, saying that the Eight Banners are less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info for example, this green camp can actually be regarded as the emperor's alliance army at most, and this Eight Banners Heavenly Soldier is the foundation of my Qing Dynasty's rule over the world for thousands of years.

It's 1754, and in fact, the children of the Eight Banners are already unusable. However, it also depends on the time. From the rebellion of the three feudatories in the early years of Kangxi, the Eight Banners lost the main position of the Qing army in the operation and handed over the main force to the green battalion. In the early years of Qianlong, these eight banners were barely able to fight. A year later, Qianlong also brought the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners to level Geerdan. After that, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners will really be hehe.

Among the Qing troops who went out to the People's Army this time, 17,000 people were the Green Battalion, and the remaining 3,000 were the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers brought out by Bandi from the capital. What the? Why don't you use the local garrison Eight Banners? Because more than 100 years have passed, the flag soldiers in these places are now common people.

is also a little closer to the emperor in Beijing, and the practice is quite diligent, but in fact, it is also a show. But it's better than the strange local city dwellers.

The Eight Banners of the Beijing camp have a characteristic, that is, there are many cannons. It's all that kind of Hongyi cannon, the cannon is heavy, and the power is passable.

Standing in front of the Qing army camp, Bandi used a monocular (at this time the Qing army already had primitive telescopes, but the number was very small and had no practical effect) to look at the position of the people's army.

There were no longer the corpses of our Qing officers and soldiers in front of the position, and the corpses were all gathered together, and they didn't even bother to dig a pit, so they poured oil on it and burned it. From afar, the class seems to be able to smell a vague aroma of barbecue.

After sneezing unhappily, Bandy moved the telescope somewhere else.

The People's Army camped at the foot of the mountain, and the tent was laid out in a very ordinary way, just according to the terrain.

"The bandits' barracks are not in order!" Ban Di shook his head, although the bandit on the opposite side was a little worse in terms of military art, but the fast gun in his hand was really tight. It's just that the hit is accurate, the key is that it is farther than the shotguns of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, and the reloading speed is very fast. It's better to wait until tomorrow when the sky brightens, and let dozens of cannons slowly bombard the camp of the bandits.

When the time comes, let the Green Battalion and the Han Army go up, and my Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers will be in the rear to suppress the formation.

The next day, at the foot of Baimajian Mountain.

The artillery roared, and the artillery of the Qing army and the People's Army was fighting back and forth. The shells on both sides were constantly landing and exploding. However, Bandi's mind is not very good now, because most of the cannons on their side were destroyed by the bandits' artillery after only one fire. The heavy artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago certainly cannot be compared with the Napoleonic 12-pounder gun finalized in 1857.

Behind Bandi, a large number of Manchu military attachés with swords and solemn faces now have gloomy faces. Because this battle is so embarrassing! Except for the movement and number of its own guns, it is inferior to anything else. Not to mention the Hongyi cannons that were blown up and scattered, even on the starting position of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a large number of assembled Han troops were blown up and killed.

On the side of the People's Army, Tan Ke was wearing a straight military uniform, accompanied by Lu Feiqing and Xiao Lori, observing the first artillery battle between the People's Army and the Qing Army.

"What kind of Hongyi cannon, it's not stupid and big, and it's easy to blow up!" Tan Ke smacked his lips, it wasn't that he looked down on the Qing artillery on the other side, but the craftsmanship of this cannon was really trendy, and a small half of the destroyed Qing artillery was blown up by themselves with the wrong charge.

"The system of the Qing court is backward, and such a large-scale artillery battle has not been held for many years. The older generation fought an artillery battle of this scale when they were still in the three feudal domains. Lu Feiqing told the fact that the quality of the Qing army is inferior from generation to generation.

This feudal army, especially the Eight Banners, an army that has even been passed down from generation to generation, has become corrupt and degenerate very quickly. Moreover, the combat skills and high-tech arms of this kind of army are often particularly disconnected. Take artillery as an example, the gunners of the Eight Banners are not as good as the generation. Why? The reason is particularly simple. You usually shoot artillery, and a shell costs a lot of money, right? If you want to come up with a sharpshooter, you have to take a cannonball pile!

I can't afford to spend money, and I am reluctant to take a pile of shells, but the emperor likes to run to the firearms battalion to see the flag soldier drill when he has nothing to do, so what should I do? Cheating! As long as the amount of the medicine bag is adjusted, the momentum of the cannon is a little louder, and then the target is manipulated, and it looks foolproof. Such a soldier who usually does not practice and cheats when acting is really pulled to the battlefield, how can there be no chaos.

Tan Ke patted the little hand that was beating his shoulder, and the little Lori suddenly understood, lowered her head and stepped aside. Tan Ke got up from the Taishi's chair and looked at the artillery positions of the Qing army, which had all been muted.

"Give these Tartars an hour, and if they don't move, then we'll fight them!"

Qing army camp.

Beside Bandi, Yongchang, who was hanging on the deputy general of Zhengnan, walked to Bandi's side, "Master Ban, we have to go!" The emperor decreed that this month he must pacify the bandits in Dabie Mountain. ”

"But the bandits have fierce firepower, and the artillery is mighty, so hard, will it be, will it ......" The first sentence of the class was not finished, Emperor Qianlong's decree was to be heard, but he sold the green camp like this, isn't it too ugly?

It turns out that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for a hundred years, and the current banner people have long lost the ruthlessness they had a hundred years ago. This is going to be put on hold to enter the customs, and if you let the Han army die, you will have to die, there is no discussion.

However, Bandi was only entangled for a short time, anyway, the dead Taoist friends are not dead and poor, there are so many Han people in the world, and after the death of this wave, it will not be levied again.

"Pass the order! The green camp is all pressed on me! Give me a blast to destroy the bandits! ”

As soon as General Zhengnan gave an order, the green battalions from dozens of battalions in Huguang, Anhui, Henan and other places started in this way. Under the leadership of the officers, no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, on the surface, these Han soldiers made a loyal appearance of serving the country.

Rumble! Rumble!

There was the whistling sound of artillery shells in the air, and in the next second, flowering shells like modern fireworks exploded on the heads of large areas of Qing troops. Unlike beautiful fireworks, flowering bomb explosions have no colorful brilliance, only thousands of explosives wreaking havoc in the crowd. The Qing soldiers who were beaten all vomited blood and fell to the ground, and some of the heads that were not good were smashed on the spot.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! The guns of the bandits can't kill many people! Hold it all for me! Steady! ”

"Don't be afraid! Heaven will bless us! Because we are serving the emperor and the Qing Dynasty! ”

The officers of the Green Battalion all brandished their waist swords, and restrained their troops hoarsely.

"Master Ban, do you want to withdraw the troops?" Yongchang on the side was already sweating profusely. He only quelled a small civil unrest when he was the governor of Huguang, and it was not at the same level as the current upright battle!

It's still a little tender! Bandi lamented in his heart that the deputy was unreliable. As a reasonably qualified professional soldier, Bandi understood that if he ordered a retreat in such a situation, it would turn into a disaster. The retreat will definitely turn into a rout, and the 20,000-strong army can be driven out of Anhui by the People's Army bandits, and if it is unlucky, it is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.

However, fortunately, the artillery of the People's Army on the opposite side did not fire again after a while.

The sound of the artillery stopped, and the officers of the Green Battalion came back to their strength.

"Brethren, the bandits must be out of shells! Everyone worked hard to suppress the rebels, and Lao Tzu invited the brothers to eat and drink! ”

"Destroy the People's Army! I, Li Er, ask the brothers to find the best kiln sister! ”

"Recently, there is a kind of hibiscus paste on the market, I heard that you can know the taste of being a fairy by taking a sip, I invite everyone to try it after the war!"

In an instant, the morale of the Qing army, which had suffered heavy casualties, was actually stirred up by these chaotic officers. For the sake of eating and drinking, for Sister Yao, and for the sake of hibiscus paste, the Qing army rumbled forward in a relatively neat line and headed towards the position of the People's Army.

"This time, we must get closer, the Eight Banners soldiers in the back can ignore him, and none of these green battalions can be let go, otherwise it will be a big trouble for these people to enter the city!" Tan Ke said to Tang Fuhai.

"Chairman, why do you want to let go of the Eight Banners?" Lu Feiqing said incomprehensibly. In his opinion, these green camps are not important, and the Eight Banners Tartars are the most important.

"If I defeat these Eight Banners, then the Qing army on the battlefield in Anhui will not have a single person to hold down. Without the pressure of the formation, the Qing army will cower, and when the Qing court sends a commander again, then we will not face 20,000 Qing troops, but 200,000 Qing troops. ”

Speaking of which, Tan Ke took a sip of the cup of tea handed by Lori and put it in his mouth, he continued: "As long as we keep behind the butt of the Eight Banners, then the green camps from all over the country will continue to gather around the Eight Banners." As long as there are more than 20,000 green battalions around the Eight Banners, we will force the commander of the Qing army to fight a general battle with us, and then let them go. As long as this is done repeatedly, then soon the Manchus will have no soldiers to fight! ”

"Is this a tactic to force the Tartars to use oil?" A crisp voice sounded, and Tan Ke looked back to see that it was Xiao Lori who spoke.

"Haha, Master Lu, you see, your female apprentice has been by my side for a long time, and she also understands military affairs!" Tan Ke said to Lu Feiqing with a smile.

Lu Feiqing also nodded, "Yuan Zhi, this kid has been smart since he was a child, and his achievements in the future will be greater than that of old age." ”

was praised by Tan Ke and the master, and the little Lori blushed on the spot, Li Yuanzhi was no different from the People's Army soldiers on the battlefield, except that the size of the clothes was one size down, and she still wore a military hat on her head. The little girl was so shy to go to that station, and it was really cute to look at it from a distance.

Noticing Tan Ke's somewhat distracted gaze, Lu Feiqing nodded unconsciously.
