Chapter 92: No Regrets (7)
"Wan Sheng!"
The cheers resounded in the Ming army, one after another, endlessly. Under the handsome banner, the civil officials in crimson official robes embroidered with brocade chickens rode out of the crowd, and Ke Chenshu and Huangshan were even more divided like the arch moon.
Yingde County's Ming Xiu plank road is dark Chen Cang, Hong Chengchou can play, and Chen Kai can play the same. For the vast majority of Ming and Qing soldiers, they did not know the details, and even some fragmented clues were completely ignorant. However, Chen Kai suddenly appeared on the battlefield and took out another killer weapon that was not inferior to a grenadier in the slightest, and easily defeated the arrogant Manchurian Eight Banners, which is an indisputable fact!
The flaw in the joint was originally deliberately done by Chen Kai, in order to draw out the Manchurian Eight Banners of Suke Saha. Everything is under control, mixed with a sense of excitement that turns the tide and turns the tide.
Outside the city, the Ming army arrived with a great victory, and the high morale had already broken through the sky. It was noon, and the army did not withdraw its troops and return to the camp, but reverted to the chaotic formation under the watchful eyes of the Qing army at the head of the city and those who were still abandoned outside the city, and apparently did not intend to stop there.
Lunch was continuously delivered by auxiliary soldiers from the direction of the company camp, and the Ming army used lunch outside the city in a big way. Originally, after the war, it was normal for the pleasure of eating to become tired of the killing of those kinds, because of the stumps and broken flesh, and because of the mental and physical exhaustion after the war. However, this time, just outside the city of Ganzhou, the Ming army sat on the ground with the aftermath of the victory, and ate much more happily - it was clear that they were eating for the Qing army in the city!
The Ming army outside the city was eating, and the Qing army inside the city was busy driving the people to strengthen the city defenses. Both inside and outside were busy, but the Qing troops who were trapped outside the city were embarrassed and embarrassed.
The exhaustion of the fierce battle has dragged down the vast majority of those Qing troops, and they sat down and lay on the ground here, no longer caring about anything else, and they were completely resigned to fate. In this way, the falling water gradually recovered to the probability of accidental events, but the moat was already full of corpses, and most of the limited ones who survived by stepping on their robes also swam to the other side, and the Qing troops in the city did not dare to open the door, but they threw down ropes, hanging baskets or something to get them up, in order to strengthen some of the strength of the city guards as much as possible.
There was no longer any need to return to the government office of the general town to give orders, and on the avenue leading from the city gate to the central area of the city, the towns that fought were still busy collecting the rout. In this gray-blue sea, the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which are basically made of two white flags, have always been the most conspicuous. At this moment, when the generals were still in a hurry, Sukh Saha had already collected all the Eight Banners that had fled into the city, and quickly determined the approximate loss figure.
"Master, only a dozen or so minions of the Niu Lu who rushed to the front escaped alive. The other cattle records, the damage is more or less, the less is about a dozen minions, and the more ...... It's no better than those cows......"
As he spoke, a Jialazhang Jing burst into tears, washing the dust on his face one by one. Hearing this, Sukh Saha felt a pain in his chest, and his throat was fishy sweet, and he almost spit it out.
When everyone present heard this, they also felt very close to each other, because they knew very well that the Eight Banners Army of the Qing army in Huguang mainly came from the Zhenghongqi, the two blue flags, and the two white flags, and these troops corresponded to the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Arzin, the Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Lanbai, the Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Ji Xiha, and the Baya Laxu Zhangjing Suke Saha, who was born in the two white flags. The other flags also followed their respective masters to guard Huguang, and this time they naturally brought two white flags, especially the cattle records that rushed to the front, but they were all Niu Lu of the white flag where Suke Saha was, and they were basically cut into pieces by the Ming army after the first battle, which made him not feel heartache and want to die.
After careful calculation, one Niu Lu was 300 soldiers, and this time he brought eight Niu Lu, that is, more than 2,400 Manchurian warriors, and now only a thousand people have fled into the city, and the casualties are more than 60 percent!
took the lead in attacking the junction of the Ming army, and the Manchurian Eight Banners were better than the Green Battalion in their ability to endure casualties, but the word bravery, in front of the Iron Man Army, became the most direct reason for the greater proportion of casualties. Among them, the number of people killed on the spot is quite small, and the number of injured is estimated to be very small, probably because there is no concept of injury under the lethality of the Iron Man Army. There should still be some survivors in the rout outside the city, but the Ming army has no intention of retreating, and the Qing army has no way to put in those Qing troops who are scattered outside the city, so they can only do it and watch.
Proud of the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Sukh Saha did not bring the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army at all this time. In this way, the casualties will inevitably be borne by the Manchurian Eight Banners, which can be described as a painful loss for the two white flags with only more than 10,000 bannermen.
The Eight Banners were the foundation of the Qing court, and now the loss of soldiers is still one of them, and more importantly, the field wave battle, the Manchurian warriors were defeated in one fell swoop by the Ming army, which was only a fraction of their size, and more than half of the casualties were lost. In this way, where is the name of the invincible Eight Banners Army?
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to rule such a vast country with a small clan, first of all, by virtue of the prestige of the Eight Banners Army. With the phrase "Manchurian invincible", the Manchurian Eight Banners could deter the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army's Eight Banners, and at the same time, the entire Eight Banners Army could even deter the Green Battalion, relying on the Green Battalion to be stationed in various places to suppress the anti-Qing movement.
This is a ring after a ring, but it is the Manchurian Eight Banners that lost troops here, which is undoubtedly a more shocking thing than Nikan's award. Because, Nikan's death can be said to be a light enemy and then ambushed to death, but his defeat was defeated by the Ming army in a dignified manner, and there is no room for argument at all!
At this moment, Sukh Saha no longer cares about trivial matters such as city guarding, and his mind is full of casualties of these Eight Banners Army. However, at the moment of being ruined and landless, not only these Eight Banner Army were discouraged, but even the eyes of those green battalion soldiers in the distance looking at the Eight Banner Army became more and more complicated.
In this battle, in the final analysis, the Green Battalion carried the attack of the Ming army to buy time and space for the central breakthrough of the Eight Banners Army, and they did a good job in containing the opponent, which can be described as impeccable. Unexpectedly, the Manchurian Eight Banners, which had been pinned on high hopes, were broken by the Ming army in one fell swoop before they entered the battlefield, and even the rout was the first to burst out of the Eight Banners Army.
However, the chaos on the side of the Green Camp was far above the Eight Banners Army, and the troops defending the city were trembling guarding the city wall, trembling as they watched the Ming army eating lunch outside the city. And the number of towns killed on the battlefield in those towns that went out to fight must be more than that of the Eight Banners Army, but the proportion is far inferior. But the problem is that everyone in the Eight Banners Army has war horses, so once the army is defeated, all those who can escape to the back of the formation get on their horses and run, but the infantry on the side of the green battalion soldiers is pure infantry, and now the defeated soldiers outside the city are basically the green battalions of various towns, which makes all the towns in the city in a state of serious loss of soldiers.
Let the rout troops outside the city enter the city, they will never dare, but there is so much capital left in their hands, the Ming army is approaching the city with the power of a great victory, and Chen Kai does not seem to plan to withdraw his troops. Sieges are bound to break out next, and with so little left, how are they going to hold the city?
In the midst of the chaos, Hu Yousheng was still seizing all the time to collect the remnants of the army and restore the system, but Liu Guangbi and Qi Sheng, who came with Suke Saha, got together, and looked at the current situation of the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion soldiers in sight.
However, the two are not only guest troops, but more importantly, they are not the commanders of the reinforcements, and they have the heart here, so they have to go to Sukh Saha, and they must have a tall man to withstand the sky that is about to fall, so that they can continue to survive in the gap.
They searched for it, but Sukh Saha was worried about where they didn't get angry, and they were beaten all over the ground with a leather whip. The green battalion soldiers saw that this scene was becoming more and more complicated, and soon, these reached Hu Yousheng's ears, and when they heard this, the famous green battalion general who had guarded the Southern Jiangxi region for the Manchu Dynasty for many years only smiled bitterly and even said a word.
The defeat of the Qing army is an indisputable fact, but the city is still controlled by the Qing army, and the governor's yamen in the city and the officials of the prefecture and county yamen are still doing their best to provide food, guards and other related supplements for the defenders.
Being forced to submit does not mean that the people in the city will not be panicked, the officials, the green camp, the gentry, the common people, etc., and even the cats, dogs and mice seem quite uneasy, as if they have a premonition of the impending catastrophe.
The Ming army outside the city was having lunch, and the Qing army inside the city soon got the meal prepared for them by the government. It's just that at such a time, some Qing troops threw off their cheeks, and some couldn't eat a bite, which was completely two extremes. This situation lasted until the Ming army outside the city had lunch, and the observation post at the head of the city exclaimed, Hu Yousheng and other generals hurriedly rushed to the city, but what they saw was the Hongyi artillery team of the Ming army appeared outside the city again.
"Co-author, this kung fu Chen Kai is transferring his Hongyi artillery team!"
In the face of such sharp weapons, they have no choice now. In this way, it squeezed the space they regretted clean, saving this thought, but the problem is that now the city wall has many cracks, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for this city wall to hold out for how long under the next bombardment.
It didn't take long for the shelling to start as scheduled, and it had been a few days before the battle, and the control of aiming by each artillery group could basically be described as familiar. However, this time, it was a rare time for them to get closer to the city wall, instead of firing artillery from a large distance to avoid being attacked by the Qing army, which was really blatant.
The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit the target. There was no need for any test firing, just waiting for the sound of the trumpet, the artillery crew of the Ming army opened fire in turn, and those heavy shells opened flowers on the city wall, and the splashed bricks and stones and clods of soil would become the rout of the Qing army like a corpse.
The vibration under his feet came, Hu Yousheng only felt that it was unusual, and the secret path was not good, so he hurriedly ran down the city wall. At this time, he couldn't care about any whips, and hurriedly found Sukh Saha. Fortunately, at this time, Suke Saha's anger had already spread a lot, and Liu Guangbi and Qi Sheng had long since disappeared, and after listening to Hu Yousheng's report, he quickly analyzed the current situation and gave a positive answer to his opinion.
The commander of the defenders and the commander of the reinforcements reached a tacit understanding, and both sides immediately went into action. Suke Saha's Eight Banner Army, Liu Guangbi's Jiangxi Banner, Qi Sheng's Jiujiang Town Standard, and some of the more elite troops selected by Hu Yousheng began to quietly move into the city. It's a pity that they just walked for a while, and at the same time as the third round of shooting, a city wall near the south gate collapsed, and the flying bricks and stones and clods of soil this time were no longer divided between the Qing troops inside and outside the city, and everything near the left was beaten beyond recognition.
The smoke and dust rose, and the cheers of the Ming army sounded again. Hu Yousheng turned his head to look, he already understood what was going on, and hurriedly rushed to control the dock with his own soldiers. A moment later, Sukh Saha's Eight Banners Army also hurried to the dock, and at this time, there were many green battalions that could escape, and the Eight Banners Army became a minority.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the Eight Banners Army go first!"
Hu Yousheng commanded his troops and horses to open the way for Sukh Saha, but in exchange for more anger from the green battalion soldiers. At this time, the shouting of killing seems to have entered the city, the Ming army has entered the city, the threat of death is coming, at this time they don't care about anything else, screaming and rushing to the boats, the dumpling scene outside the city is staged again on the dock......
When the Ming army entered the city, the first thing they captured were the defeated soldiers outside the city, and under the interweaving of fear and hunger, they were the least psychologically burdened to surrender, but regarded it as a relief. Only the Eight Banners who were scattered outside the city were some outliers, but they were quickly drowned in the sea of defeated soldiers of the Green Camp - taking these guys as a letter of surrender to the Ming army was a better chance of survival than a dry surrender.
The towns poured into the capital of Ganzhou step by step, suppressed the resistance of the Qing army according to the plan, controlled the key points everywhere, and the good news was constantly sent back to Chen Kai, and the overall situation was decided. Next, it is advisable to chase the poor Kou and go straight to Nanchang, or return to northern Guangdong and first pull out the Dinghaishen needle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty south of the Yangtze River. Chen Kai feels that at this point, the right to choose is already in his hands!
