The next day, after a short rest and morale to an unprecedented level, the Qing army began a large-scale counterattack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Several Eight Banners Mongolian Banner Lord Wang Ye snatched the general order as the vanguard of the main attack from Duoduo, and they are also ready to let his soldiers show their majesty in front of the Eight Banners army, so that the children can make more small fortunes from the Nanban, so that they can earn a future.

More than 2,000 Mongolian cavalrymen dismounted outside the trenches, carrying scimitars, holding spears, and Sulu ingot spears decorated with wolf skins. Strange whistles and shouts rang out in the charging ranks.

"The sons and daughters are full of physical strength and high morale, and they will definitely be able to take a good breath today!"

"That's right! When Prince Ying's army arrives here, there will be a surprise attack, which will definitely make Li Huayu suffer a big defeat! ”

Several Mongolian princes stood in front of the battle, waving jade-handled whips in their hands, and watched triumphantly as the athletes under their command swooped towards the long trench in the distance. In their opinion, Cao Zhenyan's barbarian's clothed son led hundreds of people to recapture two trenches, snatch back a few cannons and so many trophies, and his more than 2,000 elite soldiers didn't rush directly to Li Huayu's camp? !

The trenches in the distance were silent, as if there was no one inside, or the soldiers and horses guarding it had been paralyzed by fright. No fire was fired, no one was allowed to flee.

Seeing that the Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domains were silent, they couldn't help cheering and quickening their pace. Looking at a piece of armor and clothing dressed in different ways, or wearing a bowl hat and leather robe, with a standing collar and buckle on it, a full dress, or a willow leaf armor, a luo ring armor, wearing a hat and a helmet, or a traditional Mongolian leather hat and leather robe, with tassels on the hat, or wearing some of the common iron cotton armor of the Qing army, the Mongolians roared and gradually rushed into the range of the firearms, and the Qing generals who watched the battle in front of the battle all raised their hearts to their throats. They knew very well that the usual tactics of the Nanyue Army were to fire within the best range of the firearms, or even within 20 paces, and at such a distance, not only was the shooting accuracy guaranteed, but the lethality was even more frenzied. Of course, this is also an indicator that tests the combat effectiveness and military discipline of the troops.

"Bring up the king's Bayala soldiers, and my clothed soldiers with white flags. Those who dare to retreat will correct the Fa on the spot! Duoduo didn't dare to be as optimistic as these Eight Banners Mongolian princes, he knew very well about the combat effectiveness of these Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers and Mongolian soldiers from other domains. Looting property and slaughtering civilians, they are all like wolves and tigers, and they really fight hand-to-hand on the battlefield, but they immediately become the sons and daughters of the eggs.

"Yue Le, you bring people up to supervise the battle!"

After looking around a little, Duoduo immediately chose Wang Yuele of Anjun as this candidate.

"Please rest assured!" Because Yue Le received the remnants of the two red flags and brought them to Henan, he made a great contribution in front of the Dolgon brothers. Now he is also in high spirits, although his Ama Abatai is still only a Rao Yu Belle title, but he is already the owner of a banner and the king of the county. As long as the battle in front of you is fought, are you still worried about not being crowned a prince?

Yue Le had just brought the coated firecrackers out of the big formation, and the Mongolian soldiers in the distance had already let out a wolf-like cheer, and someone cut down the deer in front of the trench with knives and axes, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers swarmed in, jumping into the trench from the gap, preparing to start hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers and horses of the Nanyue army guarding in the ditch.

"Good! Good! Rush in, and that's it! Several Eight Banners Mongolian princes and belles celebrated with their crowns, and each could see the ecstatic expressions on each other's big round cake faces.

The athletes rushed into the trench, so the firearm platoon tactics that the southern barbarians were good at would not be used. The long knife and short axe in our hands have a place for Sulu ingots! This time, let's see how those Han barbarians are still showing off their might in front of us!

However, there was no shouting and killing sound as everyone had imagined as the men and horses poured into the long trench, the sound of swords and guns clashing, and the muffled sound and screams of knives and axes slashing on people's bodies. Instead, there were faint screams with suspicion.

In the trenches, the Nanyue Army, which was originally thought to be a brigade, had no trace at all.

Originally, I thought that if I entered the trenches, I would encounter the crazy interception and blocking of the Nanyue army with firearms and artillery along the way, and the Mongolian princes who would kill and wound at least a few hundred people were also shocked.

Originally, the Mongolian soldiers who thought that they would kill and slash with the Nanbans here and exchange their heads for military rewards, and that the valuable items such as armor, knives, guns, and various equipment on their bodies would become their own harvest were also greatly disappointed.

"Rush! Rush to the next trench! ”

A few Niu Lu Zhangjing's minds were still a lot more active, seeing that everyone was disappointed, but they didn't care about anything else, they just shouted loudly, and even kicked and beat to urge these people to rush out of the trench and go to the next trench.

In the midst of the confusion, people found a way between the trenches and the rear. Several of the exits are excavated slopes, which are thought to have been consciously built to facilitate the passage of vehicles and artillery. These people were in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, but they didn't care that they just poured out from the slopes of several passages. Just as the sheep on the grassland are slaughtered from the sheepfold to the meadow, and go to the river to have fun,

But I forgot that outside the sheepfold, maybe there was a pack of wolves waiting silently.

The crowded people cursed and shoved each other along the slope of the passage from the trench to the top of the slope, and not far from the passage were a few lonely dirt bags protruding on the plain, which looked particularly cold and miserable in the cold wind of early winter.

No one paid attention to the dirt bags, and the brigade just swarmed forward.

However, these topographical features, which seem to be mass graves, will also transform from a deserted and desolate emperor to a volcanic crater erupting enthusiastically in an instant, becoming a tool for the Grim Reaper to plunder life as a sacrifice sacrifice!

The camouflage covering the surface of the dirt bag was forcefully pushed away from the inside, revealing the muzzle of the black hole inside!

These bags were all artillery forts built by the Nanyue Army, and they were filled with soil excavated from trenches in sacks and piled up. The outside is covered with earth, the top is cut down to form a frame, and the top is covered with tarpaulin, and the tarpaulin is covered with a thin layer of earth. Looking at the past from afar, it is like a lonely dirt bag grave on the wasteland. But I don't know that there are at least two six-pounder cannons or big Buddha machines in each dirt bag! It was used to fire at the Qing troops who had captured the trenches and formed a side-fire network!

Behind the fort, thousands of soldiers of the Southern Yue Army lined up in the trenches and waited, waiting for the Qing army to come and die!

"Fire!"

Before the Mongol soldiers could wake up from the sudden situation in front of them, how to blink their eyes The old hen turned into a duck, and the earthen graves became deadly artillery forts, and a cry of shouting sounded in the forts. With this order, more red flags were waved over the forts.

The ground trembled violently under the power of the artillery fire, and the salvo of artillery fired at close range rang out like an earth-shattering sound. Four six-pounder guns and four Big Buddha cannons in the four fortifications fired at close range.

A large puff of thick gunpowder smoke rose up, and the entire perimeter of the artillery fortress was almost covered in smoke, and countless shotguns sneered at the Mongol soldiers dozens of paces away, no matter what armor they wore or what shields they held, they had no effect in the slightest.

The Mongol soldiers who had gathered in front of the passage fell like a typhoon passing through the rice fields. The fallen people were all blurred with flesh and blood, and were covered with dense blood holes. Dozens of people were beaten and flew out.

Four six-pounder guns with a shotgun range of more than 200 paces, and four Big Buddha cannons with a shotgun range of more than 100 steps. Within a few dozen paces between the two sides, these shotguns could easily penetrate the entire formation of the Mongol soldiers!

Between the fort and the trench, the distance was less than a hundred paces. Most of the artillery is fired straight through, and the entire space can be pierced. These Mongol soldiers were eager to fight for their merits, and they poured out in a dense manner like sheep, and they were shot with shotguns by the Nanyue army at this distance, how could there be a good one? At the moment, in the formation of the Mongolian soldiers, no one can dodge, and from beginning to end, they are directly opened up one by one flesh alley!

As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the dense sound of firecrackers like popping beans rang out again.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Mongolian soldiers, the Nanyue Army, which was waiting behind the fort, rushed out of the position, quickly completed the formation relying on the fort, and pulled the trigger towards the Mongol soldiers not far away, shooting out another batch of projectiles.

From the entrance of the passage to the trenches, there were Mongol soldiers screaming and shouting wildly. The people who rushed in front and were lucky not to be patronized by the artillery bullets quickly fled backwards like a tide, especially the Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners who followed behind, and they all ran faster. Some of them were blindfolded, screaming and not knowing where to run, or finding something to cover up.

As the sound of fire guns continued to sound like popping beans behind them, the Mongolian soldiers who fled chaotically burst into a mist of blood on their chests or backs, staggering and falling to the ground. The rest of the people stumbled, abandoned their weapons, and scurried around with their heads in their hands, just wanting to escape from this terrible place as quickly as possible.

The mud bags and baskets everywhere in the trenches, the corpses of the soldiers lying on the ground, the broken limbs and bones that they stepped on from time to time, and the blood and flesh in the big beach all made them feel that the ground was so difficult to walk. Many people tripped and fell to the ground, and then countless pairs of large feet stepped over them.

The trampled person cursed loudly and pleaded, hoping that the Buddha and the immortal heaven would bless him. They struggled to get up, but the countless big feet that split their heads and covered their faces still kept stepping on them, until they couldn't speak, and their heads, faces and bodies were trampled to pieces, until they became another dead body.

The Mongol soldiers in the trenches tried to escape from the trenches and fled back to the Qing camp. However, the trenches of the Nanyue army were slightly deeper than those of these Mongol soldiers. Judging by the short stature of the Mongol soldiers, the edge of the trench is barely visible.

This is also the reason why the Nanyue Army quickly carried out the transformation after seizing the trenches, and dug the trenches down two feet. In order to make it easier for the soldiers to fire their guns, a number of firing positions were specially set up, and there were earthen ridges on which the firecrackers could stand and fire their guns at the enemy in the north. However, in the midst of the panic, who will go to these ridges and climb out?

The Nanyue army next to the fort slowly pressed in formation, which made the Mongolian soldiers in the trenches panic. There are smarter ones who use ropes that I don't know where to find them, and use the housekeeping skills of throwing lassos to throw them at the deer, and dozens of ropes have become a way for people to escape.

"Want to run? How can it be so easy?! A battalion officer of the Nanyue Army sneered twice, didn't say much, just waved his hand, and dozens of bombardiers immediately ran out of the queue. The horsetail grenade in his hand drew a semicircle in the air and was accurately thrown at the lasso, which was regarded as an escape route by the Mongol soldiers.

Loaded with Kiri! The horsetail grenade of potassium explosives exploded in the densest position of the crowd according to the design, and the grooves of different depths reserved on the body of the bullet played the role of prefabricated fragments, sending shrapnel of different shapes and sizes into the bodies of the Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Seeing that their own soldiers and horses were gathered in one place and were killed by those Nanban with grenades like rabbits and otters, several princes of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the princes of the Outer Domains Mongolia could not maintain a calm heart.

They stumbled to Dord's horse, "General! General! Send someone to save the minions! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Zasak will be killed by the Southern Barbarians! ”

These words are a bit exaggerated.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, after several large-scale conquests of Chahar, after most of the southern Mongolia were subordinated, Huang Taiji compiled and examined Karaqin and Tumut Zhuangding, and obtained a total of 16,953 strong men, with 300 people as a bull record, 150 arrows as a zuo, and 50 dings as a vest, divided into 11 banners.

Among them, there are a total of 7,830 Mongolian Zhuangding under the original Eight Banners of Manchuria plus the newly attached Mongolian Zhuangding, counting eight banners, and the official system of flag color is the same as that of Eight Banners Manchuria, and it is led by ministers, becoming the Eight Banners Mongolia alongside the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

In addition to these eight banners of Mongolia, the remaining three banners of more than 9,000 strong men belong to the outer Mongolia, respectively, the Gurusi of the Karaqin Department is Gushan Ezhen, and has a banner of 5,286 dings. The right wing of Tumut is the Omu Buchu Huer of Gushan Ezhen, and has a banner of 1,826 dings. The Shanba of the left wing of Tumut was Gushan Ezhen, and had a banner of 2,110 dings.

The establishment of the Outer Domain Mongolia is slightly different from that of the Eight Banners Mongolia, they take fifty dings as a zuo, ten dings as a vest, their flag armor still maintains their own characteristics, their cavalry holds a black tasseled flag, wears a red tasseled hat, and wears a willow leaf armor petal helmet. The infantry wore only red tasseled hats and no armor, which the Ming people called red tasseled tartars.

At present, although in the trenches, the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Mongolia suffered heavy casualties, but they did not reach the point where the lamp ran out.

However, the high-level of the Qing army has always implemented the strategy of the Manchu and Mongolian families, and even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was the so-called "the south does not seal the king, and the north continues to be close". Even if Zeng Guofan made a great contribution to pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he could not fulfill the promise made by Emperor Xianfeng, "The one who has long hair will be crowned king." "The reason is that in the so-called ancestral system, the Han people are not allowed to be crowned kings, which is the so-called Nanbu king.

Since Huang Taiji, the marriage with the Mongolian tribe has never stopped. Don't say anything about big Yu'er and little Yu'er, even Huang Taiji himself, fourteen of his sixteen daughters married to Mongolia. This is called the North Constant Kiss.

Even if Duoduo looks down on these Mongols in his heart, he still has enough face. After all, he needed to use the prestige of the Mongol Iron Cavalry to suppress those Han army banners and the newly surrendered former Ming army.

"The general's military order! Ling Yue Le stepped forward to answer! Order the artillery team to open fire! Aim at the soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians, and give this king a bang! ”

Yue Le led the Baoyi soldiers and Bayala soldiers to rush towards the trench in small steps, and behind them, the officers and men of the artillery team launched the artillery, and according to the commander's order, loaded the medicine packs, sent the shells, ignited, and fired.

One shell after another flew towards the ranks of the Nanyue Army.

The Qing army bombarded the Nanyue Army with dozens of artillery pieces, which instantly disrupted the offensive steps of the Nanyue Army, and completely canceled the idea of preparing to slaughter those Eight Banner Mongol soldiers in the ditch at the edge of the trench. Several battalion officers immediately ordered to retreat to the trenches to escape artillery fire.

Taking advantage of this short stall, the Mongolian soldiers who originally thought they were dead were really like the hounds that were in a hurry, climbed up to the edge of the ditch in three steps and two steps, and rushed to the receiving team.

Yue Le had just finished containing the hundreds of remnants of the defeated army, and in the distance, on the position of the Nanyue army, there were bursts of smoke rising again, and there were faint bursts of fire flashing. "Quick! Get down! Nanban has fired again! In a hurry, Yue Le couldn't care about the majesty and demeanor of the prince. He only knows that the cannonball is a bastard, and it doesn't matter if you are the prince or Baoyi Ahha, all beings are really equal in front of him.

The artillery fire of the two sides alternated, and gunpowder and pig iron were poured on the land of the Central Plains.

"Staff Officer Fan, what you said is right, we can afford it, these Tartars may not be able to afford it!" In the camp of the Southern Guangdong Army, Li Huayu held a telescope in his hand and carefully observed the artillery fire of the Qing army, which was gradually thinning. Beside him, Fan Xiaozeng, the chief of staff, carefully counted the number of artillery fired by the Qing army. From the first salvo of dozens of cannons, to the gradual fact that only a few artillery pieces were there to cope with the bombardment of the messengers, it silently showed that the material reserves of the Qing army were gradually lacking.

"Minions, thank you, General!" Seeing Yue Le leading his hundreds of remnants back, he immediately made the princes of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domains of Mongolia cry with joy. He knelt down in front of Dord's horse and kept kowtowing to the general in thanks.

"General Shuwang, this minion is called Bayin, and he has a captured thing to present to General Shuwang."

Yue Le pushed a Mongolian soldier of the Eight Banners in front of Duoduo. Took something from his hand.

"Uncle Qiqi, this is the earth-shattering thunder thrown by the Nanyue Army in the ranks of our army. I don't know what is in this thing, and it is several times more powerful than the earth-shattering thunder of the past. ”

This horsetail grenade, perhaps because the bombardier was careless, threw it without pulling the line, and landed right in front of Bayin's feet. He was so frightened that he almost went to see the Buddha of the West Heaven, but when he saw that this thing was silent for a moment, he picked it up and dedicated it to Yue Le, who came to answer.

Yue Le had already seen the power of this object from the Nanyue Army in the lens of the telescope, and knew its importance in his heart. Immediately he ordered Bayin to follow him to meet Duoduo and offer it.

"Good! You're a good minion! Whoever came, according to the custom of capturing military flags, horses, and artillery on the battlefield, gave him a credit. All rewards shall be given according to the king's military orders. In addition, reward him with half a future and promote him by one level! ”

Dordor ordered the horsetail grenade to be put away and rewarded Bayin in front of the people. Turned his head and called Cao Zhenyan.

"Lao Cao, you take the letter from this king and this newly-acquired treasure, and immediately go back to the capital to inform the regent of the war here, and ask him to quickly allocate grain, grass and gunpowder. In addition, this thing, please also ask the regent to take a look at it, if Chen Banda's minion can be imitated, this king will reward him with 100,000 silver! ”

Duoduo has been fighting for many years, so he is naturally a knowledgeable person. Knowing that if you can make this gadget yourself, you are not afraid of the enemy's trenches.

"It's good that you're here to fight this king. You wait for the king's eldest brother's strange army to light a fire behind you, and you will know how Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu! ”

After explaining Cao Zhenyan, Duoduo stared into the distance, looked at the Nanyue army camp in the south, and muttered to himself in his heart. (To be continued.) )
