Chapter 406: Go and pull the Hongyi cannon
Under the urging of Duoduo and a group of Eight Banner Masters, there were still some traitors in the Green Battalion who braved the rain of arrows and the javelins that kept throwing them!
I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the green battalion soldiers is still there! can be fed, can get the full salary, the weapons are not too bad, and there are also the Eight Banners and the clothed minions to supervise the war - that is really fatal!
Therefore, when these green battalion soldiers were in the Ming army earlier, if they encountered this Chebao that the Shandong regiment was training and defending, they would not be able to beat it no matter what-if they were replaced by the Guan Ning army and the Qin army directly under Sun Chuanting, they might be able to fight, but the ordinary Ming army should not even think about it...... But now, who dares not to fight?
Didn't you see that Xu Dingguo and Old Man Xu were desperate with their two sons?
It's really pitiful to say, but it's a good day, what kind of traitor do you have to be? That Liu Zeqing is now relying on Zhu Cihong, soaking in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion on both sides of the Qinhuai River all day long, spending all day long, spending money like dirt, and living a nourishing life...... Zhu Cihong still can't do anything about him! He is a good example of the "warlord of the lower field"! If he is to be cured of his sins, who will go into the wilderness in the future?
But even if the father and son of the old Xu family risked their lives, the green battalion soldiers under their command were still killed by the defenders.
Because the regimental training under Gao Hongtu they met was not a normal Ming army - although he did not support Zhu Cihong's usurpation, Zhu Cihong wanted him to be cannon fodder, so he still gave him, Shi Kefa, and Zuo Maodi the highest authority! In the past, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't think of such authority, Gao Hongtu was not the governor of Shandong at all, but a festival envoy!
As soon as the military and political power was grasped, there were no eunuchs and officials around him who were dragging their feet, and there was no imperial history who did not do his job to impeach him all day long.
In short, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he is not a traitor...... If the subordinate officials under his command can't do it, he will be killed or spared!
In addition to having a particularly high authority, Gao Hongtu also got some money and food from Zhu Cihong. Although he was not as "rich" as Shi Kefa, Zuo Maodi, and Zhu Yihai, Zhu Cihong still gave him half of the money and grain obtained by Enke's "selling people" (the other half was given to Zuo Maodi). Therefore, he still has a few money at his disposal, which can pay his regimental training soldiers. Although the salary is not much, no one dares to deduct it, and no one eats the empty amount, but it is used in practice.
When the green battalion soldiers of the Xu family climbed the car fort, the spearmen and knife players of the Shandong regiment had already pounced. The pikemen lined up in rows, raised their spears and stabbed upwards, and the knife players threw their javelins first, and after throwing two javelins, they rushed to the castle to fight the Qing soldiers hand-to-hand. In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought together in the castle, and from time to time someone screamed and fell from the seven or eight feet high castle!
Xu Dingguo's father and son were also ruthless, they all rushed through the trench, approached the bottom of the car fort, and took bows and arrows with their own soldiers and shot them up.
These people are all professional soldiers who have been in the army for many years, and they still have the ability to shoot arrows, and they have a Kaiyuan bow in their hands, and the feather arrows they shoot are fast and accurate, and they soon shoot a lot of Tuan Ding who rushed to the Chebao and the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat.
But the rest of the regiment still fought to the death! Don't dare to retreat, Gao Hongtu and King Gao Hades are staring at it behind! Retreating will not only lead to death, but will also affect your family!
However, the situation gradually became favorable to the Qing army, because the casualties of the Ming army's training were getting bigger and bigger after all. At this time, the Ming army suddenly let out an earth-shattering shout: "Kill the traitor!" Kill the Tartars! Kill the traitor! Kill the Tartars......"
Immediately afterwards, I saw a large group of ironclad warriors dressed in cloth, followed by a strong man in long armor, holding a sword and shield and rushing up.
This group of people are also family-level warriors, and Li Chengdong personally led the team to fight! Li Chengdong, like Xu Dingguo, had to work hard. Because Gao Hongtu is supervising the battle behind! Now Gao Hongtu has only invested more than 10,000 regiments, and half of them are not used in the back, just to deter Li Chengdong.
In addition, Gao Hongtu also pinched the salaries of the two warlords, Li Chengdong and Ma Degong-the Ministry of War did not send them money directly, but to Gao Hongtu!
Gao Hongtu took Li Chengdong and Ma Degong's salary, and there were 40,000 Tuanding who were not afraid of death or hardship, so Li Chengdong and Ma Degong had to sell their lives at the critical moment......
And as soon as Li Chengdong sells his life, Xu Dingguo has to hug his head and run away!
Li Chengdong was the main force under Gao Jie, and Gao Jie's troops were the two main forces of the original Ming army - the Guanning army and the Qin army, one of the Qin troops.
Xu Dingguo and his two sons were also ruthless, and sent their own soldiers to capture a few petty officers who had lost their souls and were defeated, and cut off their heads when they pressed them to the ground. Rao was like this, but he still couldn't stop the rout, and the green battalion soldiers of the Xu family rolled and fell into the trench outside the Chebao like a flood ebbing. The trench was neither deep nor wide, and could have been rolled through. But the green battalion soldiers who fell in couldn't get out, because the clothed minions who were better than them were guarding the other side of the trench, and when they saw someone trying to withdraw, they slashed and slashed, forcing them to kill again.
However, the Shandong regiment training soldiers and Li Chengdong's family members were also hit by a round of feather arrows shot by the Eight Banners on the top of the car fort, and many people were knocked over, and the rest hurriedly retreated, leaning on the car fort, holding a shield, protecting their heads and faces.
But the archers of the regimental training were still shooting arrows, and waves of arrows rained down into the trenches, making the traitors and green battalion soldiers cry and cry for their mothers.
"Master Xu! The brethren couldn't stand it......"
"Master Xu, okay, let us retreat!"
"You go and talk to the Eight Banners masters, spare our lives! We're all going to die, who will charge for them? ”
What can Xu Dingguo do? He himself couldn't get out of the trench, and one of his sons was shot in the face by an arrow, and the other was wounded, and his head was covered with blood, and he didn't know if he could live? Hearing the cries of the people under his hands, he could only close his eyes and remain silent.
At that moment, there was a sound of metal knocking!
It turned out that Dodor had ordered the troops to be withdrawn...... He has been supervising the battle in the back, and of course he has also seen how hard the green battalion soldiers of the Xu family have worked. There were at least a thousand or hundreds of dead and wounded in this formation! Now that they have collapsed, it is useless to force them again. can only let them retreat and rectify, and then the next wave.
Hearing the sound of gold, the Xu family's green camp and the clothed minions guarding the edge of the trench all retreated one after another as if they had been pardoned. There is no need to retreat far, just take more than 20 steps back and get behind the "shield car line".
Seeing that the green battalion and the green battalion in front of him had retreated, and the Ming army did not chase and kill, Duoduo exhaled and said to He Luohui beside him: "Gather all the clothed minions and green battalion soldiers, and let them dig trenches along the shield line and pile up the chest wall."
In addition, let someone urge Cao Zhenyan and ask him to transport the Hongyi cannon quickly. ”
He Luohui was stunned for a moment: "Lord Wang, are you going to bombard their car formation with Hongyi cannons?" Is it a knife to kill a chicken? ”
Duoduo snorted: "What else can you use without the Hongyi cannon?" Let our warriors fill with their lives? You've seen those Nikans too, it's not so easy to deal with...... This formation just now is a test, if it is easy to deal with, there is no need to spend effort to surround it. ”
"Lord Wang, our warriors ......"
Duoduo waved his hand: "Our Eight Banners can't be used like this!" It's just some group training, where is it worth filling in three or two thousand people? How many of us can fill it out? ”
Or this prince can see that if the Qing Dynasty wants to fight the world, it has to rely on traitors to fight hard!
"Lord Wang," He Luohui frowned, "but we don't have many green camps and clothed minions on hand to die......"
Duoduo smiled: "As long as Gao Hongtu and Zuo Maodi are defeated, there will naturally be people who will take refuge in us!" Don't forget, since ancient times, it has been those who have won the Central Plains to win the world! Isn't the Central Plains Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and North Zhili? ”
