This Eight Banners generals, who were originally jubilant, were splashed on their heads like a basin of cold water.

According to the Eight Banners Army system, a Niu Lu has 300 soldiers and horses, and a Jia La has a number of Niu Lu subordinates according to the population of the soldiers and horses of their respective banners. However, basically there are five Niu Lu under the jurisdiction of one Jialazhangjing. As a basic strategic unit in the Eight Banners Army, Jiala travels all the way, stops in one place, and attacks in battle. Although the number of soldiers in each banner will be somewhat short compared with the establishment, it will not reach the full strength of 1,500 soldiers. However, a Jiala has at least 1,000 soldiers and horses, plus the remnants of each banner, the enlistment, the enslavement of the army, etc., and the strength that can be put into battle is at least more than 2,000 men and horses.

Judging from the experience of entering the customs and looting several times and now following the general south, to deal with the general Ming army, one Jiala's soldiers and horses are enough to make tens of thousands of Ming troops frightened and surrender. If it is to capture the city, not to mention a soldier and horse of Jiala, it is a Eight Banners soldier of Niu Lu, and it is enough to take off the helmet on the head of the city, shake the money rattail on the head, gallop around the city a few times, shout a few times, and then you can collect a state and county town.

How could he have suffered such a fiasco?! Even if there were fewer Armor Men and Horses that were eliminated, there would be at least hundreds of elite armor-clad soldiers, more than a thousand auxiliaries to follow, and hundreds of enlisted house slaves with the army, right? How could he be completely annihilated in front of the horse of Li Shouhan's seventh wife, Ao Lei Yilan?

The generals of the Eight Banners put down the wine glasses and chopsticks in their hands one after another, dropped the knives that cut meat, and no longer shouted and poured wine into each other, but stared at a pair of eyes, waiting for Prince Yu's master to speak.

And this bad news was like a slap in the face, which made the Nanjing civil and military officials present dizzy, and there were gold stars in front of them. More than once, they had seen Liang Guogong's barbarian woman from the bitter cold land of the extreme north inside and outside the city of Nanjing, and they had seen the woman who was as tall as an aspen and whose skin was the color of wheat, with a group of retinue guards who were also from barbarian Tatars, galloping past in front of them.

Then, the righteous men and gentlemen sighed countless times, the world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, and the Tartar woman is so swaggering through the market, is it really a chicken Si Chen? After sighing, everyone shook their heads, called friends to the entertainment place opened by Lin Da's shopkeeper, and ordered someone to find a heavenly woman, who also put on a cloak and galloped on her own body. to show the royal road of Changhua.

But now, who would have thought that this originally poplar-like Tartar woman would suddenly turn into a spear and stab me fiercely at the status of the henchmen of my Qing Dynasty soldiers and horses, so that my Qing elite would lose so many horses?! Someone secretly felt apprehensive in his heart, "Could it be that Lao Tzu surrendered earlier like he did in Beijing?" Maybe in a few days, Grandpa Guo will lead the men and horses back to drive away the group of sassy people in front of him? Do I find a way to show loyalty to Guogong, saying that I was forced by the situation, and I was in Cao Ying's heart in Han. As soon as the Guogong army arrives, we will immediately launch an internal response, and the inside and outside should work together to eliminate these Sao Dazi in front of us, expel the Tartars, and prosper the Ming Dynasty? In this way, my current surrender is also a turning allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, and allegiance to the grandfather of the country and his old man. Even if he is an old man who is expected to become a great treasure at that time, we can be regarded as the founding heroes! When the time comes, it will still be a purple robe and a gold belt, ranking above the court! ”

The little abacus in the hearts of these people crackled as loudly as when the tide of the Qiantang River came, but Duoduo's face was as black as a ball of ink.

This defeat was nothing to him, but when he was playing triumphantly all the way, the opponent was actually a woman from the Sauron Ministry! How can this evil breath get down?!

"How did you lose?"

It's not terrible to lose a battle, the key is not to know how you lost, let alone to turn defeat into victory, obviously you were beaten by others, but you said that you have won a big victory, that is not the habit of the Qing Dynasty at the moment.

It's just that the minions who came to report the news were also a fog in their minds, and no one had fled back to that Jiala now, how could they know how the battle happened?

Endorsement in the book. In fact, in this battle, the defeat of the Qing army is also reasonable.

Duoduo's subordinates of the Eight Banners of the Soldiers and Horses, starting from Kaifeng Mansion, swept thousands of miles like a hurricane, and everywhere they went, the county seats, soldiers and horses, and officials all fell in despair. Where did any battles go? It's just a long-distance forced march. In such a situation, it is indispensable to breed arrogance in the army. On the other hand, even if the supply of captured troops along the way is enough to ensure the diet, nutrition and forage of soldiers and horses, etc., the physical consumption of people and horses is also huge, especially due to water and soil adaptation, climate change and so on. Another point, the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners are all northerners through and through, and when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, the water network is vertical and horizontal, and the climate is humid, and the soldiers and horses will not adapt.

This is not the case with Ao Lei Yilan and her people. These cavalrymen from the various divisions of Sauron have also lived in Jiangnan for a while, whether they are people or their silent comrades-in-arms, those war horses produced on Tamna Island have long been adapted to the climate and terrain of Jiangnan. Know how to make the most of your strengths in the water network area and create obstacles for the enemy.

So, outside the town of Benniu, the Sauron cavalry, who were holding short firearms and galloping flexibly between the ravines and streams, under the command of Ao Lei Yilan, galloped back and forth, dividing the Qing army cattle one by one, and then dividing them again, and then using the horsetail grenade in the leather bag on their backs, they kept picking up on the top of their heads, drawing a beautiful arc, and throwing them backwards into the ranks of the Qing cavalry, just like a shepherd boy driving a flock of sheep with stones. The blood and flesh of the Qing cavalry were splashed, staining the streams and rivers red.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you. Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was under the double pressure of terrain and grenades, and there was no possibility of fighting in formation, the Sauron cavalry gave full play to the power of the short fire guns and double-barreled horse guns in their hands. The figure of the war horse flickered, and the projectiles were criss-crossed in the grass and warblers flying in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, forming a small fire net. However, the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were covered by this net did not have the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the twilight spring in the south of the Yangtze River, so they could only go to Nurhachi with unwillingness to cry their grievances in front of Nurhachi.

After a round of firecrackers, the Sauron cavalry picked up the weapons they were more willing to use, such as the Eight Banners Spear, Tiger Gun, Scythe, Big Axe and other weapons, although when it came to Jiangnan during this time, their use, familiarity and love for firearms and grenades had far exceeded these cold weapons, but the habitual emotions still made them feel that using these weapons to harvest human heads was more refreshing and direct!

Under the sharp blade of the spear, the cavalry of the Qing army completely collapsed!

"These people, it's useless to keep them! Cut them all! Head to head! ”

The murderous aura on Ao Lei Yilan's face had not completely subsided, and under the escort of dozens of female soldiers from Sauron, Tianfang, Tianzhu, and Miao Yao, she patrolled the battlefield, looking at the Eight Banners soldiers who were either injured and groaned, or dismounted and surrendered, and coldly gave such an order.

If it weren't for the fact that this Jiala was so earnest, it was too close to Li Huabao's retreating team, and the threat to the Nanyue army was too prominent, and Ao Lei Yilan didn't bother to take care of them. However, since you are here, don't go. It just so happens to give my subordinates a chance to train and make meritorious contributions.

As soon as this order came out, everyone in the Sauron tribe cheered in unison. Since these people were defeated and captured, they were sent out of the country to Jiangnan by Dolgon because of the relationship between Ao Lei Yilan, but this evil breath in their hearts has never come out. Now that we have won a hearty battle, and there are so many military merits in front of us, how can we not make everyone happy?

You must know that in the minds of Sauron's various departments, the heads of these people in front of them who have shaved their hair and braided hair are all things that are more valuable than the bear's paw and the east pearl and the gold. You can let yourself and the tribe live well.

"Cut off people's heads! When you go back to Heilongjiang, you can use your head to trade with your grandfather's men! In their opinion, the time in Jiangnan is at most a visit to the married daughter's family to string relatives, and sooner or later everyone still has to go back, back to the forest, sea and snow fields, back to the black soil where the weeds grow tall, and continue their life of fishing, hunting and picking. At this time, it is not good to cut off the heads of some villains who built slaves, for themselves, and for the tribe to accumulate more military merits, when the time comes, how to trade with the grandfather's subordinates? Everyone else has a head discount for military merits, but their own clan does not, so isn't it both a loss and a loss of face in front of the same clan?

So, under the command of the Sauron soldiers, who were more eager to make meritorious contributions than the Eight Banners, the swords and axes were put together, and nearly 2,000 human heads with money rat tails were cut off. It also contained more than 1,000 mules and horses, stripped off thousands of pieces of armor, and captured weapons and property were piled up like a small mountain. Ao Lei Yilan happily led this cavalry to chase the brigade in the direction of Songjiang Mansion, leaving a hill of more than 2,000 headless corpses piled up for Duoduo.

"Whoever dares to come again, this is the end!"

A coffin lid stood in front of a hill of corpses, and ten large characters were written on it with blood and teeth and claws.

"How dare a Sauron woman be so arrogant in front of this king! Look at this king, I don't want to clean you up! "The hatred between the Sauron Ministry and the Qing army has intensified in recent years. With the main force of the Qing army moving south, the pressure on the Sauron troops in the rear was greatly reduced, and there was the support of armor and weapons in Longsheng, which was flourishing at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and could use the Jiannu head as a hard currency in exchange for various materials needed by himself. So, with the support of the two garrison brigades of the Nanyue Army, the Sauron tribes were like wildfires in the wasteland in the spring, attacking the Eight Banners in the south, cutting off human heads, and driving the Rakshasas in the west to uproot their strongholds.

These circumstances were also known to Dordor from various documents, but after all, they were thousands of miles away. However, Ao Lei Yilan in front of him, such a provocation and such humiliation, how can he, a mighty general, stand it?

"Li Chengdong, Li Benshen!"

The two generals of Gao Jie's subordinates immediately jumped up from their seats.

"The last general!"

"You two don't have to go to Hangzhou! From here to Hangzhou, the mountain road is rugged, and it is difficult for the army to travel, so you don't have to go to it all! Your two subordinates have always been known as elites, so they will go to Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Songjiang to give the general a visit! ”

When Li Chengdong and Li Benshen heard the new envoy assigned to him by Duoduo, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and ecstatic! Everyone knows that from Changzhou all the way to the southeast, Wuxi, Suzhou, Songjiang, the coastal area of Taihu Lake, Susong Taiping Plain, has always been the place of ointment in the southeast, the essence of the place.

"This is the general to promote us to make a fortune! Walking in this sea of gold and silver, I'm afraid that we can use gold to hit the horseshoe! "The Duoduo in Li Benshen's eyes at this moment is no longer the Prince of Heshuo Yu of the Qing Dynasty, the mighty general. It was the black tiger under the crotch, and Zhao Gongming, who was holding a steel whip in his hand.

"This is tantamount to giving Jiangnan's money bag to our brothers!"

Li Chengdong and Li Benshen immediately happily received Duoduo's military order, and they no longer continued to eat wine and dinner, and even rushed out of the palace to straighten out the soldiers and horses.

Sure enough, when his subordinates learned that they were going to pursue the retreating Nanyue army along the road of Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Songjiang, their morale was immediately high, and they rushed out of Nanjing City with a howl.

"These two fierce and vicious guys are both thieves under Gao Jie, a harrier who has climbed the mountain, and their thief nature has not changed. When they go, they are afraid that Su Songtai and the people of Wuxi and Changzhou, who are known as impermanent, will see impermanence. Hong Chengchou twisted his beautiful beard and looked at the backs of Li Chengdong and Li Benshen with a smile, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Soon, his fears became a reality.

Li Chengdong Li Benshen's army just entered the ground in Wuxi, Changzhou, and began to burn and loot on a large scale, which is called "Bo Shi punishment", who let the people here not enthusiastically help the war when the Qing soldiers and horses fought against the Southern Barbarians, and did not report to the king?

Not only did they loot the prefectures and counties, slaughter the good people, and rob their children's jade silks, but what made Hong Chengchou even more frightened was that the soldiers and horses of these two guys didn't know whether they were ignorant or fearless, and they actually burned the tomb of Gu Xiancheng, the ancestor of the Donglin Party, in Changzhou, and cut down all the pines and cypresses planted in the cemetery to cook on fire. This act is almost the same as digging Gu Xiancheng's grave.

Not only burned Gu Xiancheng's grave, but also the place where the Donglin Party people started, and the Donglin Academy, where Gu Xiancheng called friends to quote scriptures and lectures, was also used as a military camp by Li Chengdong's subordinates. In the academy, all kinds of killings, rapes, and spoils are shared, as if the academy of the seeds of reading has become a cottage of bandits and strongmen. (Well, it seems to be similar, the Donglin Party is actually doing more than the bandits and robbers.) It's just that bandits and robbers use knives to rob the common people, and these gentlemen naturally use their mouths and pens to rob the treasury and the good people. In comparison, the bandits and robbers are far inferior to the Donglin gentlemen. On the day of the opening, it was a fire that burned the Donglin Academy, which was open in front of the door with "the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world". What stone archway, Panchi, Donglin Jingshe, Lize Hall, Yiyong Hall, Yanju Temple, Sangong Temple, East and West Corridor, Laifu Zhai, Pleasure Place, Xinjian Zhai, Xiao Bianzhai, Zaide Caolu, Shiyu Zhai, Daonan Temple, Donglin Baogong Temple and other major buildings have all turned into scorched earth.

Originally, I thought that Donglin Academy, a place where humanities gather in the Jiangnan region and where state affairs are discussed, the ancestral graves and birthplaces of Donglin Party members and members of the Restoration Society, were so ravaged by Li Chengdong and Li Benshen that the Jiangnan literati would criticize and write a lot, which was not conducive to Duoduo's pacification of Jiangnan. However, to Hong Chengchou's surprise, for the burning of Gu Xiancheng's tomb and the burning of Donglin Academy, the officials in Nanjing, the Confucius Temple and the scholars in various places in the south of the Yangtze River turned a deaf ear and turned a deaf ear.

"Mr. Donglin's tomb was burned? It must have been done by the rebels in Nanyue! We will definitely raise funds to rebuild, so that Mr. Donglin can smile under Jiuquan! ”

"What, Donglin Academy was destroyed? This must be the Southern Barbarian who holds a grudge and takes revenge on us! It doesn't matter, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come! It's a big deal! ”

This is Li Benshen and Li Chengdong, among the many things they did on the ground of Su Songtai, they picked one or two pieces. It's all a later story, so let's not press the table for the time being.

We still return our eyes to Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and others in the main hall.

Duoduo, who was still angry, was about to arrange soldiers and horses again, and quickly escaped from Nanjing City, and prepared to join Huang Degong in the direction of Wuhu to welcome the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong who went east to meet Li Shouhan's army and take it back to Nanjing. When he sent soldiers and horses to Hangzhou to arrest Ma Shiying, a scholar of Shoufu University who had escorted Empress Dowager Zou to flee to Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty, from the direction of Jinchuan Gate outside Guowai outside Nanjing, there was a faint sound of cannons and the shouts and cries of hundreds of thousands of people intertwined into people's ears.

"What's the sound!?"

Duoduo originally thought that it was probably the surrendered soldiers and horses of which town, or the soldiers and horses of that banner, after crossing the river, saw the prosperity and wealth of Nanjing City, and couldn't hold back for a while, and began to massacre, loot, rape, burn and other favorite activities.

"What minion dares to be so presumptuous! This king is here, so reckless?! "Duoduo was a little annoyed, he didn't prohibit his subordinates from raping, prostituting, plundering, burning, and killing, on the contrary, he even encouraged this, and if he didn't do this, how could he boost morale? How to raise salaries? Where should those mature women @ wives in his room come from?

He was annoyed that he didn't know which of the minions' subordinates were so bold and reckless, and you would do it yourself without Lao Tzu's generals. Is there still the Eight Banners system in my eyes, and the Eight Banners military discipline?! If those officers and soldiers who surrendered did it, would you still have Lao Tzu, a mighty general, in your eyes!

Such a presumptuous slave must implement military discipline well. Kill a group of those who should be killed, and those who should be stripped of their official positions and secular positions, they must be dealt with strictly!

However, the news from Waijinchuanmen is even more surprising than the news from Benniu Town, Changzhou!
