Chapter 216: The Decisive Battle of Liantan Town (9)
In front of Liantan Town, dozens of green battalion soldiers had already taken off their uniforms at this time, and were pressed to their knees by the Eight Banners, their braids were also lifted up, and behind them stood an executioner with a ghost-headed knife.
"Let's cheer up! If you don't cheer up, the country left by this ancestor is gone! Kill! ”
Ehai had an expressionless face on his face, and while he was saying to cheer up the Eight Banners, on the other hand, he mercilessly ordered to cut down these green battalion soldiers who were about to flee, and with a flash of white light, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and red blood flowed out, looking shocking.
The green battalion soldiers standing in the audience looked at this scene, a trace of despair and resentment appeared on their faces, but in the face of the Eight Banners, they dared not speak angrily, and they just lowered their heads one by one, pretending not to see it.
Ehai looked at these green battalion soldiers, with a slight contempt in his eyes, and sneered: "Han people are Han people, all of them are as timid as rats, afraid of death, if there are any more deserters in the future, don't talk nonsense, just cut them down." ”
After saying this, it made the morale of the green battalion soldiers in the audience even more depressed, from their eyes, they could see despair and exhaustion, but they couldn't see the taste of resistance.
For the Qing army, they have also reached the point where there is no way back, the emperor above is forcing the generals below, and the Eight Banners are also forcing the green camp, attacking, or attacking.
Zhao Gui and several other green battalion soldiers, pushing a shield cart full of sandbags together, launched an attack on the defense line of Liantan Town with difficulty, the sweat on their bodies had completely wet their uniforms, but they were still holding on to the cart.
Zhao Gui was originally an ordinary green battalion soldier in Shandong, but he was later transferred here, and followed Shangguan to fight and die in the Huguang and Anhui areas, he is also a veteran, of course, not a veteran of the war, but a veteran who escaped. These people were all defeated from the battlefield, and although they were not beheaded by luck, they were also incorporated into the coolie battalion and became cannon fodder for the strikers in this battle.
The main reason why they are cannon fodder is that their role is to push the shield cart all the way to resist the artillery of the Fu Han army, and then use the sandbags on it to fill the trench to pave a road for the Qing soldiers behind, and as long as they completely fill the trench, they can get out of the coolie camp.
As the shield car gradually entered the artillery attack range of the Fu Han army, Zhao Gui felt the cruelty of this task, the artillery of the Fu Han army made a huge roar, followed by a pitch black bullet, falling from the sky, some just hit the shield car, the entire shield car was completely destroyed, and the Qing soldiers pushing the shield car also died extremely tragically, and the whole person became torn apart.
Zhao Gui was startled by the shattered corpse behind him, the red blood was coated with a thick layer on the ground, and the corpse that was torn apart by the projectile was still steaming, this scene was like hell, which made people feel chills in their hearts when they saw it.
"Oh my God! Have mercy. ”
Zhao Gui obviously felt that the shield cart was pushing slower and slower, and then looked at the few Qing soldiers next to him, some of their legs were even trembling slightly, fear had completely made them feel out of strength, and Zhao Gui was not much better, he breathed heavily, but the fear in his heart was rising little by little.
As the distance gradually narrowed, the artillery of the Fu Han army became more and more accurate, Zhao Gui's shield cars around them were destroyed one after another, and the scattered sandbags were overturned everywhere, but Zhao Gui's shield car had been moving slowly, but Zhao Gui was not happy at all, only a fear of gradually approaching death.
The roar of artillery fire blooms bright flowers on the battlefield, but behind these flowers, there are human lives, blooming the last afterglow of life.
Zhao Gui was no exception, just a hundred steps away from Liantan Town, the shield car he was in was also hit by a bullet, and was directly crushed on the spot, the shield car directly pressed on Zhao Gui's body, making him unable to move at all, the severe pain made him a little trance, and he muttered softly: "Okay, okay, you don't have to suffer if you die.....
The last thing he saw was that more and more shield carts appeared on the battlefield, and more and more green battalion soldiers began to fill the ditches in front of them, and the sandbags were filled with human lives.
...................................................................................................................................
The Qing army is exerting its strength, and the Fu Han army is also advancing.
Since getting off the ship in Digang, Ning Yu did not stop at all, leading 10,000 people all the way forward with light equipment, the target is naturally the Lujiang Mansion in front of him, and when he takes the Lujiang Mansion, he will be able to go straight to the North Kip Pass and completely put Kangxi's 100,000 troops in a cage.
This battle is not difficult to fight, the Qing army in Lujiang Mansion does not have many people at all, and it can be broken with a gesture, but the key to the problem is that it must occupy the North Kip Pass in the shortest possible time and in the most secret way, otherwise if Kangxi comes to his senses and chooses to retreat directly from the North Kip Pass, then this big fish will run away completely.
Once Kangxi retreated from Beikip Pass, it meant that the Fu Han army would confront the Qing army in Anhui for a long time until the situation changed. But this is not what Ning Yu wants, what he wants is to completely leave Kangxi's 100,000 army, plus the entire south, to lay the foundation for the founding of the country at one time.
Because of this, Ning Yu will personally lead the army to block Kangxi's back road, because this battle is really important, and it is related to the transformation of the strategy of the Fu Han army from defense to offense. And such a chance to win a decisive victory is not always available, the current Anqing and Lujiang rivers, the waterways are crisscrossed, which can effectively limit the attack of the Qing army's horse team, which is very important to Ning Yu.
If he really went to the northern plains to fight, Ning Yu would really have no good way to take the Qing army and horse team, so this opportunity was very precious for Ning Yu and the entire Fu Han army.
The long queue was marching on the road, and the morale of the big guys was very strong, and there were always people organizing to sing the military song of the Han Army, and when the song was loud, it also made many soldiers forget their hard work.
Ning Yu rode a horse and held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, observing the nearby topography, while Dong Ce walked over with a solemn face.
"After receiving a letter from Ujikei, the fish has already taken the bait, but it's not time to close the net. I'm a little worried that he won't be able to hold Liantan Town, if Kangxi and Yue Zhongqi are allowed to return, then the pressure we will face will be great. ”
Dong Ce handed Uzhijing's letter to Ning Yu, and then said softly: "With the current marching speed of our army, the vanguard should be able to reach Lujiang in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and as for the Lujiang River to Beikip Pass, it will be relatively close, that is, it will take about a day." ”
Ning Yu took back the clairvoyant mirror, savored the news, and said softly: "If you are not mistaken, at this time, Kangxi should have attacked Liantan Town for many days. ”
"I still need to hold on for three days, once the North Kip Pass is taken down by our army, I am afraid that Kangxi will be a little hesitant at that time, at that time there are only two choices, one is to fight Liantan Town, and the other is to turn around and fight the North Kip Pass to prevent the back road from being cut off."
Dong Ce's face was solemn, of course he knew that under the onslaught of the 100,000 army, even if he held on for an extra hour, it would mean extremely heavy casualties.
"At that time, Kangxi will not continue to practice Tan, he is already old."
Ning Yu looked at the afterglow of the sunset in the distance, but he sighed a little in his heart.
