Chapter 243: The Real Tragedy

"Baljur, the deputy capital of Mongolia in the Manchurian firearms battalion of the Eight Banners, led the Manchurian and Mongolian firearms battalion to engage with the enemy, was shot in three places, especially fought to kill the enemy, and was outnumbered so that he died...."

Tong Fahai read carefully, this is already the third general of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion who died in battle, and he can be called a loyal martyr, but this scene may still make Kangxi cry in peacetime, but the current Kangxi is only shrouded in disappointment and pain.

Kangxi never thought that in just half an hour, the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion of tens of thousands of people had already become the current appearance, not to mention the three generals who died in succession, and the casualties of the soldiers were as high as more than 2,000 people.

"Emperor Qiqi, the army of the Xiao cavalry battalion led by the king of Pingjun is ten miles behind Chu and can attack at any time." A trace of excitement flashed on Tong Fahai's face, he believed that under the iron hooves of the Eight Banners, the Fu Han Army would not be able to withstand it.

"Well, the forward battalion and the guard battalion are also ordered to prepare for an assault."

Kangxi finally made up his mind, this battle has reached this critical time, and he no longer plans to have anything else to hide, so let's fight!

Kangxi currently has 20,000 people under his command, including 2,000 artillery armor and 3,000 logistics personnel of the firearms battalion, of which 15,000 are capable of fighting, and after Kangxi sent out his forward battalion and guard battalion, there are only 3,000 guards battalion left by his side.

The forward battalion and the guard battalion of tens of thousands of people, under the leadership of the commanders, began to march towards the battlefield, and after the Manchu and Mongolian firearms battalion went through layers of guns and cannons, the Fu Han army had already launched a close hand-to-hand fight with the Qing army, which was not the Fu Han army took the initiative to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but the Qing court's Manchu and Mongolian firearms battalion in the case of fire, the rate of fire was too far apart, and more than 2,000 people fell on their own side, and more than 400 people fell on the opposite side of the Fu Han army, which was too much.

The front of the Fu Han army only put more than 8,000 people, mainly composed of the first division, they have never been afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but because there are madmen like Li Shihu, they have more love for hand-to-hand combat, the Qing army's tiger clothes and rattan soldiers and the Fu Han army fought together, and the small battlefields everywhere were engaged in bloody hand-to-hand combat.

After Ning Yu saw the tiger-clothed rattan soldiers, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, but he had heard of the strength of the tiger-clothed rattan soldiers, you must know that the current Qing army is actually a rather deformed army, that is, it relies on guns and firearms, and there are not many real hand-to-hand combatants, and they are not elite enough.

However, the appearance of the tiger clothes and rattan soldiers filled this shortcoming, these elite soldiers from Fujian, in close combat are quite brave, especially when fighting with the Fu Han army, they can also faintly gain the upper hand. Fortunately, the number of tiger clothes and rattan soldiers is not large, so it is not particularly difficult to fight.

When most of the Qing army began to join the battlefield, the Fu Han army was not to be outdone, Xu Mingyuan led the fifth garrison division to join the battlefield, and a full 8,000 new troops joined, which made the Qing army suffer more and more pressure.

Ning Yu originally had five divisions in his hands, the first division of the main force, the third division of the main force, and the three garrison divisions of the second garrison division, the fifth garrison division, and the sixth garrison division.

Now the front of the Fu Han army has sent 17,000 people, and the front of the Qing army also has more than 18,000 people, in the process of hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, because the Fu Han army has some people equipped with iron armor, so it occupies a lot of advantages, and the Qing army's cotton armor in front of the bayonet, did not have a very good performance.

"Kill the dog and take the world!"

"Kill the dog and take the world!"

In this world, death has become the theme, and the two sides have launched the most ruthless fight here, and the artillery of the Fu Han army is also in full swing at this stage, dropping flowering shells into the gathered crowd of Qing troops, without aiming at all, and more than ten lives can be taken away with a single shot.

In the thick white smoke, the Qing army and the Fu Han army were almost fighting with the most primitive means, the knife was rolled off and began to be smashed with the butt of the gun, and the butt was broken and bitten with teeth, the bloody and tragic scene was performed on the battlefield, and more people were involved.

No one noticed that a group of soldiers of the Fu Han Army appeared on the edge of the battlefield, they quietly took out a grenade from their waists, and then lit it with a fire breaker, and threw it into the dense crowd of Qing troops.

Dressed in iron armor and carrying a rudimentary long knife on their shoulders, after throwing grenades, they rushed into the Qing army as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and the Qing army could not stop the attack of these people if they wanted to.

These people were not actually the grenadier battalion of the 1st Division, but the secret weapon that had been prepared for a long time by the 5th Division.

Since Xu Mingyuan became the commander of the Fifth Garrison Division, all he wants is to be rewarded for meritorious service, but if he wants to make meritorious service, he must first get rid of the identity of the current garrison division, and he cannot regard himself as a second-rate unit, so he was also abducted and deceived in the army, and it was not easy to get a batch of armor, and then specially selected such a group of people to form a low-level grenadier battalion.

These low-profile grenadier battalions are not only poorly armed, but also less numerous, only about 300 people so far, but their power on the battlefield seems to be comparable to 3,000 people, and they pushed all the way through, but they killed no less than a thousand people.

Under this fierce offensive, the losses of the Qing army were extremely heavy, especially the generals and veterans, who became the first group of people to die in battle.

After entering the customs, the essence of the Eight Banners is passing at an unimaginable speed, but the Qing army is still holding on, although they are quite different from the Fu Han army in all aspects, but in terms of courage and determination, there does not seem to be much difference.

Of course, for today's Eight Banners, the death of these people is just a number, but when this battle is over, almost the entire capital is dressed in linen and filial piety, and everyone is crying.

Everyone actually understands that the battle has reached this point, and the rest is to wait, Kangxi is waiting for the fifteen thousand cavalry battalion in Nalsu, and Ning Yu is also waiting for the cavalry behind him.

Only after the last boot fell, Ning Yu could safely send out the third division to defend against the last card in Kangxi's hand.

But Ning Yu himself understood that the authentic grenadier battalion had not yet entered the battlefield, and if the 1,000 people used it well, its power would be no less than 10,000 people, and then it would be possible to draw an end to the war with a decisive heart.
