Ao Bai gradually realized that something was wrong with the situation.
The addition of the Eight Banners was supposed to have a decisive effect, but why did it become anxious?
And the morale of the Ming army seems to be very high, not at all like Emperor Yongli who just ran away.
Ao Bai immediately told Hong Chengchou about his worries, and Hong Chengchou also felt that something was not right.
"Lao Hong, we won't let people be deceived, right?"
Ao Bai frowned and said, "Maybe Yongli didn't run at all?" ”
"But obviously an army fled to the mountains, and Hu Quancai also sent people to chase after him."
"What if it's a stand-in?"
Ao Bai was not a reckless man, and he immediately proposed a possibility.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "But the matter has come to this point, and we can only watch it first." ”
Ao Bai sighed: "I'm afraid that the thieves are deliberately dividing our forces, so that we will have no advantage on the frontal battlefield." ”
Hong Chengchou said in his heart, it seems that they still underestimate Yongli, thinking that he is a master who runs away when something is wrong.
In fact, judging from various signs in the past two years, Yongli is a very forbearant and strategic monarch.
In comparison, Emperor Shunzhi is much worse.
"It doesn't matter, with Lord Ao here, it's only a matter of time before you want to defeat Li Dingguo's ministry. At that time, the Ming army besieged in the mountains was a fish on the chopping board and was slaughtered.
Ao Bai thought about it carefully, it seems that this is the truth, the Ming army's move is actually a gamble, and Li Dingguo, who won the bet, can go to the rescue of the Ming army on the mountain in time. The Ming army on both sides had to die together after losing the bet.
After figuring it out, Aobai's mood calmed down a little.
...
...
"Brother Xuzi, the Tartars are attacking again!"
Li Shishi's face was obviously much more anxious than before, and the besieging Tartars were many in terms of numbers, several times that of them.
They kept going up the hill to attract the attention of the Tartars and give the Son of Heaven and the King of Jin a local advantage.
It's a risky move, but it's the only option in the current situation.
Zhao Xu, as a candidate appointed by the Son of Heaven to be the emperor's stand-in, was very conspicuous and eye-catching in a golden armor.
He raised his hand and said, "Don't panic, this mountain road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tartars' numerical advantage will not be able to be brought into play for a while." As long as we drag, when Your Majesty and the King of Jin win the battle between the Hong Thief and the Ao Thief, we will get support. ”
"That being said, will Your Majesty be able to defeat the main force of the Tartars for a while?"
Li Shishi complained.
"Why, you don't trust Your Majesty?"
"How dare I distrust Your Majesty."
"Stone, you have to remember that without Your Majesty, we would not be where we are today."
Zhao Xu said earnestly: "Do you still remember our youthful appearance when we first entered the barracks, if it weren't for His Majesty's constant support, how could you and I get ahead?" ”
"Alas, Brother Xuzi, don't say it, I know it's wrong."
Li Shishi said helplessly: "Let's just die, right." ”
"Yes, with me, Zhao Xu, I won't let the Tartars step forward!"
Zhao Xu's self-confidence is not blind, although the Tiger Ben Army does not have an advantage in numbers, the advantage of firearms is not ordinarily large.
In this terrain, the flintlock can be used to its fullest.
"If the Tartars rush at them, they blow them up with grenades first, and then they fire a volley with flintlock guns. I don't believe that the Tartars are not afraid at all! ”
"Yes!"
...
...
"Kochifu, what are you waiting for, the remnant Ming puppet emperor Yongli is on the mountain, quickly send someone to rush up and capture him alive."
Hu Quancai saw that Gao Tianjue was still hesitant, and he was angry.
In front of Hong Chengchou and Aobai, he has to pretend to be a grandson, and in front of Gao Tianjue, he has to shake his majesty.
Gao Tianjue scolded in his heart, you will shout here, why don't you go up by yourself.
I specially sent troops to rush, and the credit for rushing down is also yours, and if you can't rush down, you just take the blame.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the lower officials are worried about the thieves' firearms. Didn't Lu Guisheng say that the thief's firearms were purchased from Taixi, and they were very sharp. I'm afraid that there will be heavy losses in this terrain. ”
"I said Kochifu, why do you have a lot of brains. Even if the losses are heavy, you have to rush me! The one on the mountain is the eternal calendar, the eternal calendar! If you capture Yongli, it will be a great achievement, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. At that time, the governor will appoint you as the governor, and I believe that Hong Jingluo will also speak for you.
In the face of Hu Quancai's pressing step by step, Gao Tianjue had no choice but to agree: "Xiaguan Xie Governor will raise his love, and Xiaguan will order someone to charge." ”
The official level crushed people to death, and Gao Tianjue really couldn't stand it.
"Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and those who capture Yongli alive will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver!"
...
...
"Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps... The stone is now, ordered to throw grenades. ”
Zhao Xu had been observing the movements of the Qing army, and when he saw that they had finally launched a charge, he ordered Li Shishi on the side.
"Order!"
Li Shishi responded crisply, and then ordered: "Grenade!" ”
The soldiers of the Huben Firearms Battalion were all well-trained, and they threw the few remaining grenades at the charging Qing troops.
The number of firearms in this war was depleted much faster than they thought, but it was worth it if they could win the battle.
Several grenades streaked in a wonderful arc in the air, and then landed in the dense Qing formation.
The mountain trail is very narrow, and although it is not as difficult to climb as Hailongtun, it is almost the same.
The Green Battalion soldiers all gathered, and the grenade explosion was used to its fullest effect.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came, and then the Qing soldiers were blown away.
The luckier ones rolled down on their companions, and the unlucky ones fell straight down the mountain.
Although this mountain is not too high, it will definitely die if it rolls down like this.
The Qing soldiers were all frightened.
They had already learned how powerful this thing was, and the effect of being hit by him was similar to being hit by artillery, and they were all dead.
If there is anything more terrible on the battlefield than death, it must be dead without a corpse.
The thought of the bombing of their bodies made these soldiers tremble, and some of the timid ones even vomited.
Seeing that the green battalion soldiers were stagnant, Hu Quancai urged: "Kochifu, what's going on." Can a few small tricks of the thief stop the march of the army? ”
Zhou Peigong also said on the side: "Yes, Kochifu, your appearance makes it difficult for the governor to speak for you." ”
Gao Tianjue said in his heart, Lao Tzu doesn't need to let you speak well, you two don't sing double reeds in front of Lao Tzu.
"Don't worry, Lord Governor, the lower officials will urge them to come forward."
After saying that, he stepped forward and commanded his soldiers: "Order the military law team to come forward and supervise, and if there is a escape, kill them on the spot." ”
Since the temptation can't work, you can only come to the tough one.
Hu Quancai pressed so hard, if Gao Tianjue didn't exert his strength, it would be difficult to explain.
