Chapter 239: Battle Kangxi (9)
In the end, Lao Chen Tou still failed to escape the search of the Fu Han army, and even took a large group of Qing army green battalion soldiers and became prisoners of war of the Fu Han army, but the Fu Han army did not embarrass this group of veterans, and directly tied these people with their hands, and then escorted them and locked them in Lu Tingyi.
In this battle, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, but the frontal casualties were only more than 1,000 people, and among the remaining Qing troops, there were about four or five thousand defeated soldiers who followed Puzhao and Li Shude and others, and fled all the way to Daguan, and more than 4,000 green battalion soldiers were taken prisoner, and the rest were scattered as birds and beasts.
Thinking of the battle the day before yesterday, Lao Chen felt his heart beating, although he was just a veteran oilman, but the number of times he went to the battlefield was not less, which made him have exercised a very keen sense of smell on the battlefield, that is, I am afraid that from the beginning of this battle, the Fu Han army has laid a net here, just waiting for them to take the bait.
Because of this, after the Qing army suddenly suffered such a serious blow, the morale of the Qing army was completely collapsed, except for some sporadic thousands of generals who always led people to resist, the rest of the people only cared about fleeing for their lives, and instantly turned into a large number of routs, even the front troops with the Qing army, have been crushed.
"Hey, old Chen, I didn't expect you to be alive."
A former green battalion general happened to pass by here, his surname was Niu, and he was also a Shandong soldier who originally came over, but he saw him from outside, and came over to say hello with a proud face.
Lao Chen looked at the general manager with some surprise, his hands were naturally placed in front of him, the back of his head was bare, but his braids were cut, thinking that he should have taken refuge in the Fu Han army.
"Mr. Niu, your old man is really powerful, I only knew earlier that you were very prosperous in our green camp, but I didn't expect to be here.... The Fu Han army can also eat like this, it's really amazing! β
Niu Jiangzong's face was already irrepressible pride, and he smiled and said: "Don't mention the past bird, it sounds unlucky, I am now a member of the Fu Han Army, and I am naturally different from you people." β
In fact, the reason why Niu Jiang can always have this day, the reason is also very simple, behind the previous battle with the Fu Han army, one of his brothers was alone, and then he took refuge in the Fu Han army, and later turned the gun to fight the Qing army, but it was unusually brave, and he was promoted to a small platoon commander, and later this small platoon commander found his brother among the prisoners of war, and then he was kept as a soldier of the Fu Han army.
You know, today's prisoners of war are different from the past, in the past, when the Fu Han army was really short of people, they would consider expanding the army from prisoners of war, and now there is no shortage of people and they are directly sent to the mines in Wuchang, doing some hard work every day, and being a soldier is not comparable, so Niu Jiang is also very proud in his heart.
Lao Chen Tou was envious, and planned to get close to the cow to see if he could get himself in and eat some military rations to live a good life, but before he could speak, a rapid whistle sounded, but the Qing prisoners of war on the side woke up, and they looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.
Niu Commander, who had been in the Fu Han Army for two days, knew that this was a signal for an emergency assembly, and then he didn't care about Lao Chen, so he just dropped a sentence to live well, and then turned his head and walked out, but Lao Chen Tou felt a sense of loss.
"The Qing army of Kongcheng is dispatched, and the governor of the capital has an order, and the first regiment must hold the area of Lu Tingyi!"
In Lu Tingyi, Dong Ce's face was a little solemn, he looked at Li Shihu, who was still indifferent, and sighed softly: "The Metropolitan Governor said that he is sorry for you." β
Li Shihu still looked smiling, pointed to his big red army uniform with his finger, and said: "I am a soldier of the Fu Han Army, and I am also a soldier from the Eagle Battalion, and the Metropolitan Governor has never been sorry for me." β
Dong Ce looked at the kid in front of him and sighed slightly, when he was fighting hard in Xiantao, he Dong Ce was the commander of the first regiment, and Li Shihu was actually the deputy commander of the first battalion, and later during the bloody battle of Xiantao, the first battalion withstood the offensive of the Qing army and won the title of Xiantao Battalion, but it also led to the loss of half of the battalion, including the battalion commander at that time.
Later, after Li Shihu became the battalion commander, he rushed to the front in every battle, and was often carried down with several knives in his body, and many people in the Han Army joked, saying that the battalion commander of the Xiantao Battalion did not work long because he died too quickly.
Then Li Shihu fought so hard, but still with his tenacious vitality, he still survived in the end, and has survived to this day, and has become the first batch of promoted regiment commanders.
Dong Ce understood this kid's temperament, so he didn't say much at the moment, but just whispered before leaving: "I didn't come in vain this time, I squeezed out three hundred grenades for you from the first division, save some use." β
Li Shihu's eyes instantly burst into a slit of laughter, and he opened his mouth and said: "The chief of staff really knows that it hurts people, and it is not in vain for our brothers!" β
"You kid..... Cough! Dong Ce's face was a little sentimental, patted Li Shihu's shoulder, and sighed: "You must live, the old brothers of our Eagle Camp are becoming fewer and fewer now." β
With the departure of Dong Ce, Li Shihu has completely become a lone army, and he is also a fragrant bait, specially used to catch the big fish of Kangxi. It's just that whether you can catch the fish or let the fish swallow the bait depends entirely on who is better on both sides.
Li Shihu also understood in his heart that from the beginning of receiving the order, ambushing at Lu Tingyi, and then coming with 20,000 people in Puzhao, the process itself was a little wrong. Whether it is Puzhao or Li Shihu, they are all chess pieces at this time, but the 20,000 green battalions of Puzhao are obviously regarded as outcasts, and he, Li Shihu, has not at least not fallen to this point.
Before the sunset had completely set, a sweaty Fu Han army sentry scout, riding a fast horse rushed into Lu Tingyi, the horse did not stop, the sentry spong directly turned over and rolled to the ground, there was a long arrow stuck in his body, the blood soaked the red battle clothes, but I couldn't see who was more colorful.
"Lord Qiyu...... The outpost of the Qing army is already less than five miles! β
In fact, there is no need for sentry scouts to report, in the eyes of everyone, they have already seen a group of black oppressive people in the distance, they are wearing colorful cotton armor, and there are long helmet pins on the helmets on their heads, which is exactly the dress of the Eight Banners Army.
The Qing army came along the road towards Lu Tingyi, as if with an indomitable momentum, as the so-called people are more than 10,000, boundless, the Qing army that appeared here is at least more than 30,000 people, but it is to bring a force of oppression to everyone, making people a little breathless.
A long horn sounded, and the Qing army was demonstrating against the Fu Han army at LΓΌ Tingyi in order to achieve its goal of showing off its strength. Most of the soldiers of the Fu Han Army just pursed their mouths tightly, holding the flintlock pistol in their hands, and their eyes were extremely determined.
No matter what it was for, even if it was for the fields, for money, or for their families, there were many reasons why these soldiers joined the Fu Han Army, and there were many reasons for going to the battlefield to fight for their lives, but there was one thing they would never forget.
That is, never to be a slave again, again.
