A few single drums sounded, and one made the flag wave.

The two white flag units under the command of the Dolgon brothers, who were preparing to fight against the Ming army and the Nanyue army in the Tashan area, as well as the flags temporarily assigned to them, gathered in front of Dolgon in the unit of Niulu, and tens of thousands of people did not dare to move even though the sea breeze blew.

With Duoduo's order, Cao Zhenyan ordered people to beat a single drum, and the Bayala soldiers on both sides escorted more than 100 defeated soldiers with two white flags who were tied up like zongzi to the front of the army.

"The emperor has just sent a decree to reward my two white flag soldiers and horses, and you and the others have lost the positions of Dayushan and Hongluo Mountain in one day, so that Li Huamei and Wu Sangui can rely on the cannons erected on the top of Hongluo Mountain to bombard our Eight Banners military and horse positions at will, and then pounce on our Tashan Fort position with their elites from Tashan Mountain. Wait, 'What shall this king do with you?' ”

In front of tens of thousands of subordinates, Dolgon's voice was extremely calm, like a calm river, like a mirror. But Cao Zhenyan, who was holding the order flag in his hand, trembled in his heart! This master seems to be really angry, his tone is calm, there is no emotional component of joy and sorrow in it, but it shows that he is trying to suppress his feelings.

These people are miserable today!

The defeated soldiers' faces were as withered as defeat, but they kept complaining to Dolgon that they were willing to act as dead soldiers to recapture Hongluo Mountain and Dayu Mountain, so that they could have a chance to make up for their mistakes.

"That's not necessary. Come! ”

Earlier, Baya Lama Zhangjing led a group of wolf-like Baya soldiers to escort another group of people out of the crowd.

"According to the military discipline of my Eight Banners Army, I escaped from the battle. Those who have lost their positions, kill! This king adds one more today, you see, have these people ever been familiar? ”

In the midst of the wailing, someone struggled to open their swollen eyes, but on the other side was a group of women and children, who were also tied with ropes.

"Do you know why this king brought your family here? This is the grave of my two armies of white flags! After winning this battle, we walked out of the tomb, lost, and we were buried in the sea with our wives and children! ”

Dolgon's tone finally returned to the state of a living person. It's not like Fang Cai's appearance without a trace of anger. "The loss of your division and the loss of land has damaged the prestige of my Eight Banners Army. Therefore, this king will complete the day and send your whole family on the road together! ”

Two gongs sounded loudly. Hundreds of heads fell to the ground. The head of the Vulture, which was still dripping with blood downward, was raised high by the Baya soldiers with their spears. Riding in front of the two white flag soldiers lined up in Niulu. Everywhere they went, everyone was in a cold sweat on their backs.

However, the soldiers in the Cloth Cow Record are accustomed to it, and they are originally the minions of the minions. Life and death are not under their control, as long as they fight desperately!

"The emperor has given me the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot. That king was arrogant in front of the Fan scholar once today! Now, the king announces the reward for this battle! ”

Dolgon urged to sit down on the war horse, and the good horse with the bloodline of the Great Food and the Korqin Grassland took small steps in front of the queue of the coated cattle, and the sea breeze blew the flags of each Niollu Zhangjing, and also blew the voice of Dorgon to the ears of every coated soldier.

"Wait for this group of clothed minions, today the king has also spoken, don't look at your past when the king used fat chickens and ducks to support you, you are also very deferential to the master of this king, in fact, there is not a day that you don't want to climb up to be the master! It's okay, this king will give you this opportunity today! ”

"If you can hold the position and kill the Nanban, you will immediately raise your status and become a person under the two white flags, and those who capture and behead the battalion officer or above will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with half a future. Capture and behead the generals above the deputy general of the Ming Kingdom, the king and him become brothers, and ask the emperor for a reward, enter my Qing clan, and have an extra red belt around his waist! ”

With a bang, the Bayara soldiers behind Dolgon neatly repeated Dolgon's reward loudly, so that the more than 20,000 clothed soldiers and their families could hear it clearly. Good boy! As long as we hold our positions and kill one more barbarian soldier, we will no longer be clothed, but the master of the two white flags! If you're lucky, you can have an extra red belt around your waist, and we'll be Jueluo in the future!

The feelings of the clothed soldiers were immediately raised to the burning point like a volcanic eruption, and they couldn't wait to immediately turn around and enter the chest wall of the trench, and the Ming troops who would commit crimes in the future were knocked to the ground one by one!

As for the reward issued by Prince Rui's master and the bannermen of the two white flags, not many people paid attention to it.

However, what was announced next was another excitement for everyone present!

"As for the minions of the two white flags, this king has nothing to reward you, unless he gives you the king's place. If any of you are willing to do it, this king, the prince of Rui, will give it to you at once! But you have to promise the king that you must guard Tashan and do a good job of the mission assigned by the emperor! Otherwise, your whole family will end up like this! Don't say that this king is ruthless and unsympathetic, you minions have also followed this king's brothers into the pass several times, and he Li Shouhan is not a living person! What kind of hatred this person has for my Eight Banners, and what he has done in Nanzhong, you are also clear! If his army enters Liaodong, your whole family will still die. It's just that maybe your wife and daughter will be used before they die, and the matter of Concubine Chen is the end of all your wives and daughters. ”

"If no one is willing to bear this burden, then obey the king's military law, let me tell you the content, which one you don't hear clearly, you are unlucky, my knife doesn't matter if you hear it clearly or not!"

"If you enter the former, you will die without a reward, and though you want to reward it, you will not be able to investigate it; The latter was born without punishment, and even if he wanted to punish him, there was no way to investigate. There must be moderation today! If the growth does not retreat and ten people retreat together, then the growth can kill ten people. If the distribution of the allocation of the Shiku does not retreat and the subordinates retreat together, they will be killed. Niu Lu Zhang Jing does not retreat and Niu Lu retreats together, then he will be killed. Jia Lazhang Jing does not retreat and a Jia Lazhang retreats together, then the cow is killed. Yijia Latong retreated only to kill Jia Lazhangjing. If one flag retreats together, the flag owner Baylor will be killed. All of the above. Look at it this way. No more than three or five people have been killed, it seems that they have nothing to do with the soldiers, and they can retreat, but you have to think carefully, this method is a line of millions of soldiers, and they have also been examined when they advance and retreat. Although there are only a few people killed, you are not afraid of a million people, and you will not be able to retreat. Listen to me for this sake. For example, a bull records people and retreats together. Kill Niu Lu Zhang Jing, Niu Lu Zhang Jing But when he saw him retreat, he would never retreat. If he Niu Lu Zhangjing does not retreat alone, he will not be able to support the enemy. It is necessary to die at the front. So the king slew several of his men. He will take his wife and children's property together to pay you Niu Lu Zhangjing's life. Seeing that Niu Lu Zhangjing did not retreat, he was afraid that Niu Lu Zhangjing would be killed in battle, so he should pay his life and pay off the debt. Even if he got the allotment, he didn't dare to retreat. His subordinates were strong, and when he saw that his boss did not retreat, he was afraid that he would lose his master, and he was afraid that he would have to pay for his life, so he protected the distribution of Pashku, and did not dare to retreat. Strengthen the soldiers under him, I am afraid that if he dies and grows, all his soldiers should be beheaded, so they will protect and grow, and they will not retreat. So it is not the death, but the death of three or five of the men. Even millions of people should be of the same heart, and that one dares to retreat first? This is called the joint sitting method! This method means that in the whole army, everyone is like a knife on their heads, like a rope tied to their heels, looking at each other one by one, even sitting and pulling, and no one can get out. ”

Perhaps fearing that the vast majority of illiterate soldiers would not understand this half-literate word, Dolgon simply stood in the saddle and shouted at the heads of the crowd around him: "The king's Bayala soldiers are the executioners of the whole army!" And officials at all levels are also executioners of their subordinates! Soldiers retreat, grow stronger and kill! Grow and retreat, Niu Lu kills, Niu Lu retreats, Jia La kills! Jia La's retreat, the flag master is killed! I, Dolgon, retreat, and the whole army can be killed! ”

The promulgation of the military law this time made Fan Wencheng, who was the minister of the decree, frightened, and then praised it again, "This move of Prince Rui will definitely be able to win the death of a soldier." The whole army, the war dead can also get great benefits, if you retreat, there is only one way to die! ”

Looking at Dolgon, who was galloping in the crowd of people who were constantly whistling and roaring like waves, the vigorous and brave Baya soldiers rolled up a small tide behind him, and Fan Wencheng's mind couldn't help but move.

"The emperor has been in poor dragon health since the unfortunate death of Concubine Chen, and now there is a big war, dealing with countless military aircraft every day, eating little and doing a lot of things, I am afraid that after this battle, no matter how victory or defeat, the emperor's dragon body will also collapse. Shouldn't I have planned sooner? ”

The day after Fan Wencheng left, on October 20, the 14th year of Chongzhen.

The waves of the sea illuminated by a round of red sun on the sea surface, the beating waves shimmered with a slightly dazzling light, and people couldn't help but squint their eyes. Someone wrapped his cotton armor tightly, trying to resist the cold wind blowing from the sea. Fortunately, judging from the swing of the flag, the wind is not as strong as usual today, and if the sun is so good, it should be a very warm day.

Well?! A white-flagged soldier at the head rubbed his eyes at his sentry post, and from the sea behind the fishing mountain, and on the sea farther away, the dense sampan slowly rowed towards this side. Looking out to sea, sampans of all sizes cover the surface of the water as far as the eye can see.

Those brute soldiers are finally coming to die! All the clothed soldiers couldn't help but hold the firecrackers in their hands tightly and exhaled deeply!

A clothed soldier, Alazhangjing, surrounded by more than a dozen guards, went back and forth between the trenches, breastwalls, and bunkers, cheering up and loudly encouraging his soldiers. He shouted loudly: "Dog minions, today is the day for us to raise the flag!" Don't be afraid of death, you have to be afraid that you can't die! This group of southern barbarians is here to supply us with the first rank of military merit!! ”

Everyone in the trench was jubilant, and some people even shouted: "Brothers, kill those short southern barbarians and leave no armor behind!" ”

"Look at how much their blood can stain this sea!"

Dolgon, who still commanded the whole army in the name of the general, and his younger brother Duoduo, who had recently been given the title of general of Yangwu, weaved gold dragons on both sides, and kept flying and rolling in the gusts of sea breeze. Behind the banners of the two people, in addition to their many domestic slave guards, they also followed the dragon of the second banner Baya Laqi Zhangjing. Behind the dragon, all of them are wearing three layers of armor and riding horses on their hips. Behind the Bayala soldiers was the soldiers of the Aliha Chaoha Battalion who were densely packed with two banners.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria are covered with white flags, and they can't help but sneer in the bunker when they look at the sampans that are gradually moving from the sea to the coastline, and at the two great generals in the distance.

Tan worships this person. It is not an ordinary character in history, the Manchurian Tara clan, the Zhengbai Banner people, Qing Tiancong's five-year entourage besieged the Daling River, and Zu Dashou sent more than 100 horsemen to break through. Tan Bai and Niu Lu Zhang Jing Buyantu at that time chased more than 30 people and obtained 24 horses. In the eighth year of Qing Tiancong, he was awarded the title of Niu Lu Zhangjing.

In the following years, Tan Bai made a lot of meritorious contributions, and once followed Yue Tuo's command and entered the wall Ziling. Attack abundance. also broke the Ming eunuch Feng Yongsheng's army. In the following years, Tan Bai made many meritorious contributions, successively defeating the Ming governors Zhao Guangluan and Fan Zhiwan, and the general soldiers Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen. Meritorious entry into the third-class Lazhangjing. Shunzhi for three years. Tan Bai is still the secretary of the military department. From the prince of Su Hao Gexi to ask Zhang Xianzhong. Repeatedly broke Zhang Xian's loyal soldiers, Shunzhi for four years, and transferred the ministry to the book. Annihilation of Zhang Xianzhong.

According to Dolgon's deployment, the two white-flagged clothed soldiers, each with a armor of musketeers, were stationed in front of the enemy, in addition to these musketeers, they were also equipped with nearly 100 large and small artillery, almost more than half of the artillery that Dolgon could collect were concentrated on the front line.

"More firearms on the front line, less soldiers, the artillery of the Southern Barbarians is powerful, don't send our soldiers and horses under the muzzle of the barbarians. Then, in the position where the barbarian artillery fire could not hit, put more soldiers and horses, in the hope that after the barbarian soldiers and horses rushed into the trench, if the first-line trench missed, these troops would be used to beat the barbarians down! ”

Tan Bai chewed on Dolgon's deployment, and Tan Bai didn't care whether Dolgon's allocation of troops was right or wrong, but he nervously ordered his house slaves to go to various Niu Lu Zhangjing to give orders, "If the barbarian soldiers don't go ashore and don't enter the firing range to fire, officials at all levels have the right to enforce military discipline!" ”

What do you mean? From Niu Lu Zhangjing to Qiang, you can pick up a knife and cut down those clothed soldiers who have no order and open their guns without permission because of timidity!

The sampan on the sea is getting closer and closer, and the people on the sampan can be counted at the coated observation post behind the first breastwork, and there are about thirty people on one sampan, which happens to be a group of people from the Nanyue Army. The flags on the bow and the officers on their backs were swept up by the sea breeze and rolled with the wind.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps.

At this distance, however, the sampans stopped, and the ships behind began to move to the left and right flanks, opening up an extremely wide frontage, and the distance between the ships became more sparse.

"Quick! Fast! ”

From Niu Lu Zhangjing to Qiangqiang, the leaders of the officers at all levels of the Liaodong anti-thieves began to urge their subordinates to enter their respective positions, and boxes of fixed cartridges were carried out from the cantonment cave and distributed to the hands of the various firecrackers.

The coated firecrackers quickly loaded the propellant, rammed the projectile solidly, turned on the dragon's head, and crouched on the chest wall, just waiting for the long-awaited order to fire.

What was waiting for them was not a firing order to raise their flags, but a loud burst of cannons.

The four 32-pounder cannons deployed on Hongluo Mountain on the west side of Tashan Fort emitted puffs of white smoke from the fort, followed by a deafening sound of cannons.

In the dull whistling sound caused by the huge scorching cannonballs piercing the air, the hot iron balls weighing more than twenty catties fell like a sledgehammer thrown by the giant spirit god. Or hit the roof of the cantonment cave with the flag on it, and there was a dull groan under the collapsed wood, and after a while, someone struggled to crawl out with both hands and feet. Or smashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers who were waiting with guns behind the breastwork, jumped and rolled on the hard ground, and directly brought out a bloody path. More than a dozen small bullets were fired together with the big bullets, and the Qing soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

A huge cannonball smashed into the second breastwork, smashing a huge gap in the breastwork that was as hard as iron, and flying everywhere with the size of the ice ballast, hitting the Qing soldiers hiding nearby, and the crystal clear ice ballast immediately took on the color of blood.

The iron ball that pierced through the frozen soil breastwall was not lost, and a few bounced, rolled and killed, jumped into the trench, and beat the few clothed soldiers who were gathered under the trench behind the first earthen wall into a puddle of flesh and blood.

The screams continued to sound in Tan Bai's ears, but he was helpless. can only stand up and wait for the artillery fire of the Nanyue Army to stop.

However, it seems that these cannons do not need to stop to dissipate heat, and the continuous cannon rumbles, and after the cannon sounds, dozens of iron balls scream together, and the lack of morality and smoke is that the shells weighing more than 20 catties are just that, and they actually use the butt group, one for each large bullet, accompanied by more than a dozen small bullets. Large bullets were used to smash the breastwork and smash through the cantonment holes, and small bullets were used to kill and wound soldiers hiding in trenches.

These shells whistled in, constantly smashing between the first and second earthen fortifications set up by the Qing soldiers, and the focus was on the firecrackers in the various trenches. Dense iron balls jumped and tumbled on the ground, and from time to time the clad soldiers screamed and were hit by cannonballs before they could make a sound.

Tan Bai pressed his back tightly against the earthen wall of the Tunbing Cave, listening to the sound of cannonballs in the air in horror, and seeing that the cannon fire seemed to never stop, he couldn't help but scold: "This group of southern barbarians Nikan, your gunpowder cannons all grow on trees, can't they?" No money!? ……”

As soon as the words fell, a large iron ball weighing more than 20 catties was smashing on the earthen wall on the side of the garrison cave where he was hiding. The wooden pillars supporting the earthen wall suddenly made a loud noise, and the earthen wall, which had been frozen hard after being watered, immediately collapsed a large piece, and the soil on Tan Baiwolf's face was pulled out of the cantonment cave by two house slave guards, but he saw that half of the body of a guard next to him had been destroyed by the cannonball.

With a loud "boom", a small iron cannon erected on the roof of a bunker was hit by a projectile from a 32-pound gun, and the cannon was immediately smashed on the spot, and the iron ball flew around the gun wheel of the gun carriage.

"Hold on!"

The officers of all levels of the two white flags were all hoarsely controlling the troops, and Dolgon was right, this was their grave. After winning the battle against the Nanyue army, they can crawl out of the grave and continue to live in broad daylight, defeated, then what awaits them is only a dead end, the difference is that they either die under the swords and guns of the Nanyue army, or they are killed by those Bayala soldiers and their own commanders who act as law enforcement teams and executioners!

Although the cold wind was biting and fierce, it could not dissipate the pungent smoke and smell of blood. It was on this winter seashore that the most elite warriors representing their respective camps began to fight for their lives.

More than a dozen three-pounder guns were hurriedly lifted off the sampans by the first wave of soldiers who washed up on the beach, wading waist-deep and icy waters to the beachhead, and the gunners looked vigilantly towards the breastwork opposite, looking for a target.

"Artillery loading!"

"Artillery loading!"

The commanders of both sides distanced themselves a little, and invariably gave the same order to their gunners.

The distance between the two sides is already within 200 paces, and such a distance is exactly where the power of the three-pounder cannon and the big franc machine cannonball lies. (To be continued......)
