Chapter 223: Eight Banners Warriors

Compared with the Fourth Garrison Division, the Fifth Garrison Division and the Sixth Garrison Division organized later, the combat effectiveness is indeed more than one step stronger, if this battle is given to Qian Ying and them to fight, it is really a little unbearable, at least it is impossible to hold on for such a long time.

Dong Yulin, as the commander of the third regiment of the second garrison division, is naturally not a simple person, he was originally a monk in the temple, and he was full of exquisite martial arts, but he had nowhere to show it. Later, he couldn't eat enough in the temple, so he returned to the custom and went down the mountain, and later joined the army in Changsha, which can be regarded as a relatively early group of soldiers in the Han Army.

In the subsequent wars, Dong Yulin was also promoted to the deputy commander of the main division, but his personality was rough and arrogant, so he was not less guilty, and later came to the second garrison division, and became a regiment commander with a deviation in strength, and he did not receive too much attention from Ujijing.

It's just that now it's time to operate, the second garrison division shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Liantan Town, and he Dong Yulin also has the opportunity to show his skills, so seeing the Qing army's large-scale attack, Dong Yulin did not have the slightest fear, but took the initiative to jump out of the trench with people and fight with the Qing army.

Ehai was a little uncomfortable, he originally planned to put a few rounds of guns from a distance with the Fu Han army, and then fight with white knives - after all, the Qing army was more afraid of white-knives fighting at the moment, but he was not so afraid of putting guns.

But now it is not possible, Ehai also stubbornly led people to fight with knives and guns, after all, Emperor Kangxi is watching from behind at the moment, no matter what, there is only a bloody battle, if anyone dares to retreat at this juncture, I am afraid that the first time Kangxi will cut off his head to set an example.

Thousands of people fought bloody battles on this small battlefield, and the artillery of both sides was not idle, bombarding each other's rear positions, in the hope of blocking the positions and giving the soldiers on the front line more advantageous space.

It's just that in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, most of the Qing troops are difficult to gain an advantage, after all, many officers of the Fu Han Army are equipped with handcuffs, and they still have a relatively dominant advantage in the real fight, so in the fight of everyone, from time to time there are a few gunshots, and some Qing troops fall to the ground, dying.

Because this battle was the Eight Banners as the main force, so although the scene was not good-looking, but everyone also held on, did not turn around and run like the green battalion, in the archives of the Qing court later, many of the dead Eight Banners warriors in this battle were recorded, of course, this result is also slightly exaggerated:

"Mingli, Manchuria inlaid with yellow flags. Kangxi was the champion of the martial arts in the fifty-fourth year and was awarded the rank of first-class guard. In the 56th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the Eight Banners Forward Battalion, and on the 17th day of the first month of the 61st year of Kangxi, he fought with Liantan Town and Chu Rebellion, led the crowd to attack it, and repeatedly did not resist, so he personally braved the guns and artillery to lead the crowd to fight to the death, and personally beheaded more than 100 thieves. After a long battle, he died with all his strength, and once shouted 'I can't kill the thief myself!' ”

"Dolmu, Mongolian inlaid with blue flag, Kangxi forty-eight years of martial arts, later awarded the third-class guard. In the 58th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the Eight Banners Guard Battalion and the Military Academy, and on the 17th day of the first month of the 61st year of Kangxi, he fought with Liantan Town and Chu Rebellion. The thieves were numerous, the firearms were very good, and Dolmu's body was wounded in more than a dozen places, and seventy-six thieves were killed, and they died in the face of Nannan....."

No matter how much water there is in these records, it can't hide Kangxi's satisfaction at this time, even if it was the Eight Banners powerhouse back then, it was nothing more than that. Although the fight on the scene was relatively miserable, it also played the spirit and courage of the Eight Banners!

"Hmph, this Qing Dynasty still has to point to our Eight Banner warriors, if the Han people have half of the Eight Banners warriors, how can this Chu Rebellion have a bright future?"

It's just that when the people in the camp heard this, they were somewhat subtle, and those Manchu ministers and Mongolian ministers naturally had a smug look on their faces, but Han Chen was a little subtle, and everyone knew that Emperor Kangxi's tolerance for the Han people was getting lower and lower, but this time it was obviously angry.

If the Han people really can't do it, then the Fu Han army that has won consecutive battles on the battlefield is not a Han people?

Kangxi became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and he didn't know if he was old or angry, so he scolded directly: "Now Chu is reversing the power as fast, no less than the three feudatories, and the reason for this is that there has never been no credit of the Han people." Yue Lingfeng and Xu Mingyuan at the beginning, plus Qian Ying now and those green battalion soldiers who surrendered, how could they remember the kindness of the Qing Dynasty in their hearts? ”

Seeing that these words were getting more and more outrageous, Zhang Tingyu knew that he still had to say a few words to save Kangxi's hearts, otherwise if the Hanchen didn't do it, and the big guys picked the son together, it would be their so-called Eight Banner Warriors who would be unlucky at that time.

"Your Majesty, the minions have the audacity to say that the vast majority of the current Hanchen are loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, which is different from such treacherous people."

Speak for three minutes, point to point. Kangxi also woke up at this time, and understood in his heart that at this critical time, he really couldn't mess with people's hearts, so he said gently: "Now that the situation in the Qing Dynasty is difficult and dangerous, you need to work together in harmony, and when you are in the future, you will all be a great achievement." ”

After intercepting this topic, Kangxi began to talk endlessly, bringing the topic back to the current battlefield situation.

"The fight is still good at the moment, I think there will be three days at most, and the army will be able to occupy Liantan Town, and then attack Anqing City in one fell swoop, cutting off the retreat of the Han army."

Everyone thought that it was true, but in the next few days, they continued to attack Liantan Town, not to mention the fierce attack in the north, and also sent thousands of people to storm the west, and they also knew that there were few Fu Han soldiers on the opposite side, so they deliberately took advantage of the night to attack.

The Qing army still had more than 70,000 horses, so they had enough troops to fight, and a large number of Green Battalion soldiers were incorporated into the coolie battalion to resist the muskets and artillery of the Fu Han army, and it also became the battalion with the highest casualty rate.

In the face of such a fierce offensive, the Second Garrison Division could only clean up the few remaining artillery shells, especially the twenty mortar guns, which were originally fired shotguns, and the fragmentary iron nails inside were extremely lethal when they exploded, so they repeatedly intercepted the offensive of the Qing army, so that the Fu Han army could continue to hold on.

In just three days, the front line in front of the Fu Han army was already covered with the corpses of the Qing army, these people had a green battalion and a Eight Banner soldiers, and the dried blood stains turned brown in the cold wind, and they looked extremely miserable.

Yue Lingfeng's body was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, he was hit by the Qing army's artillery fragments on the position yesterday, fortunately he didn't hit the vital point, but he also bled all over the ground, so he has been lying in the courtyard of the town. It has now been set up as a medical hall by Ujikei, which is dedicated to storing wounded soldiers.

Ujijing only came to see him once in the interval between battles, and then went to the front line again, but before he left, he said mysteriously to Yue Lingfeng: "Metropolitan Governor, now there is news!" ”

"Oh? Where is the Metropolitan at this time? ”
