Zeng Wenzheng, the ancestor of the Xianghuai Army of the modern military group, and Zeng Wenzheng, who found jobs for countless historians and publishers, once described in countless letters, songs, and other texts that he hated the most among the many vices of the official army, "Defeat will not save each other!" ”

In Zeng Wenzhenggong's heart, the most ideal army should be "to fight to the death if defeated, and to drink and talk happily if victorious". In his opinion, as long as the army has done this, it can turn a blind eye to things like slaughtering cities and robbing money, killing good people, etc.

Regarding the corruption of the army in Zeng Guofan's era, we can learn from Wang Minyun's "Hunan Army Chronicles": "Since the army has risen, the generals of the green battalion, although they command thousands of dispatched troops, their weapons are dull and useless. They used the men of the local state and county to carry their weapons and pots, and to expropriate and distribute the people's family shops, so that the inhabitants were terrified and hated that they could not go. When it encounters the enemy, it first makes a low fortress wall and dwells in it, and the defeat of the camp gate is mixed back and forth. Although the generals want to be uniform, they cannot. However, the Manchurian and Mongolian armies are slightly neat, and the pride and nobility cannot be easily disposed of. There is a lot of use of green camp, and the disadvantages are like this! ”

Wang Ding'an's "Records of the Hunan Army" Yiyun: "Since Hong and Yang advocated chaos, the officials have not practiced for a long time. The green camp is arrogant and lazy, and when he hears the recruitment, he screams, compared to the former enemy, Qin, Yue, Chu, and Yan's people, mixed and advanced, and if they win, they are jealous of each other, and they cannot save each other when they lose. ”

Therefore, the ancestor Zeng Guofan has announced his ideal countless times, "I want to practice bravery, breathe and take care of each other, itch and itch, go to the fire together, go to the soup together, win a glass of wine to make merit, and defeat to save each other." Thieves have a sworn party who will not abandon each other, and our officers and soldiers also have a sworn party who will not abandon each other. You can fight a bloody battle once or twice, gradually renew the eyes and ears of our people, and take away the soul of the rebel thief. ”

It's a pity that the Hunan army he created and the Huai army that he derived from him really disappointed him in this regard. Preserve strength. The most obvious one is the two main forces of the Xianghuai Army, Bao Chao's Ting Army and Liu Mingchuan's Ming Army Yonglong He against Lai Wenguang and Ren Zhu's Twist Army. In order to monopolize the credit, Liu Mingchuan did not hesitate to act first at the agreed time of attack. For the same reason, in order to reduce their own losses, Bao Chao's department monopolized the credit, knowing that the Ming army and the Twist army were fighting to the death, they also quietly detoured back to the flank of the Twist Army to make preparations before the attack. It was not until the Ming army was defeated by the Twist Army and Liu Mingchuan himself was ready to be captured or killed that Bao Chao ordered the Thunder Army to attack.

This big drama, although it is under the joint efforts of Liu Mingchuan and his old leader Li Er, Mr. Li Hongzhang. Fooled with the clever words of "There are thieves on the back road, and I don't know the truth of the Thunder Army", but the relationship between the Thunder Army and the Ming Army has almost opened fire. More than ten years later, when Liu Mingchuan triumphantly became the first governor of Taiwan, he was stunned to find that his subordinates and generals were all old friends of the Yonglong River Hunan Army.

Similarly, the principal, who claims to be the disciple of Wen Zhenggong's second disciple, also hopes that his subordinates can "win with a glass of wine to make merit, and if you lose, you will use your strength to save each other". But how does it work?

The unkind author should use facts to illustrate!

A certain general of the national army, the name of three words. The Nationalist army leading an integrated division was surrounded in a mountainous area in Shandong and attacked by communist troops several times its size, and it lasted for half a month from the beginning of the exchange of fire to the end of the battle. It was there that the nearby friendly troops watched coldly, watching him be wiped out by the communist forces.

(Smack!) A big mouth hit the author straight in front of his eyes. "Don't say that about our Master Zhang! Division Commander Zhang is a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War! One division can fight against all the characters of the Japanese army that invaded China! "That's it! Such a handsome, photo-taking character. After being besieged by the communist army, he committed suicide and was still buried in the sheepfold! Is this how you treat the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War?! ”）

(The author, rubbing his face, can only say who is buried in the sheepfold, and does not dare to cause controversy.) But, that handsome guy of yours, Commander. The first was killed, and after the second was killed, Hua Ye bought a coffin and buried it, and at the same time notified the family to collect the body. As for why a meager celebrity is willing to go around recognizing his father and not discussing it with his mother, we don't know. Regarding the handling of the dead, the communist army was much more benevolent and righteous than the national army, but the national army dug up the graves of Luo Binghui and Peng Xuefeng, and even the bodies of the two were insulted. Besides, I'm talking about Song Ruike, and the Battle of Yangshanji was annihilated. If your handsome division commander can hold on to one-third of his time, he will not become a martyr of the national army, but a hero of the national army. ）

At this time, the Qing army on the battlefield in Liaodong happened to be the same as the communist army, and there was absolutely no bad habit of defeating and not saving each other. No matter how fierce the internal fighting was, when he heard that the friendly troops were surrounded, he immediately came to the rescue.

The troops that came were the original target of Wu Biao and others, thousands of men and horses led by the Gur Ma Hun brothers who built a fort on the side of Tanghezi at the foot of Xiwang Baoshan.

As one of the first four Baylors, the third son of Amin, the owner of the Blue Flag, Gurmahun is not as violent as his father, because he saw his father being killed by the eighth uncle, the second uncle, the fourteenth uncle and others, and the ups and downs of his and his younger brothers' life experiences, so he has always been a man with his tail between his legs in the Qing Kingdom, low-key and low-key. Otherwise, he would not have been posthumously called Wen Jian after his death.

Although the temper is good, and he is also low-key, but when it comes to military exploits, he is not ambiguous at all, Chongzhen eleven years, the so-called Chongde three years, he entered the customs with the Prince of Rui Dolgon, from Beijing to Shanxi, Fudong to Jinan, Kecheng more than 40 years, and was awarded the title of Auxiliary Guogong. In history, he followed the master of this banner, Jierharang, went south to Huguang, and defeated the Ming army He Tengjiao.

From the defeated sentry horseman, he learned about the old master Fei Yangwu's confrontation with the Ming army, at first Gurmahun didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it was just a little aftershow in the process of marching, and he even ordered someone to prepare a banquet to receive the arrival of the old master.

But what was waiting for them was the defeated army of Red Banner Manchuria.

Hearing that Zhenghongqi Manchuria had lost the battle, and was besieged by the model brigade of the Ming Army and Shanxi Town and Datong Town, I couldn't help but cry out bitterly! He followed Prince Rui to Jinan. Knowing the strength of this Ming army, Master Fei Yangwu encountered the Ming army team with this model brigade as the core, but I am afraid that it will be more auspicious!

If it is a change of place, it is a Ming army team, and I heard that my friendly army not far away was beaten by Liao thieves, so I am afraid that I will not hesitate to pull out the camp and start the village. Drove more than 100 miles away overnight, and the so-called "11 guns rang out in 40 miles". However, this is not the case with Liaodong anti-thieves, especially Gurmahun!

Whether in politics or in the military, he, Gurmahun and his younger brother Gong'a led thousands of people. Must be saved! Otherwise, the Ming army defeated the master of Fei Yangwu, and the blade must be Jinzhou, how can he, as the support point of Jinzhou's periphery, escape? Even if he was lucky enough to avoid the knife of the Ming army, the knife of the eighth uncle of the emperor was afraid that it would have been sharpened a long time ago, just waiting to find these sons of Amin One mistake is to open the knife!

Almost poured out the people and horses in the Xiwang Fort, leaving only more than 100 people to guard the fortress, Gong A looked at the false flags on the wall with some hesitation. Worriedly, he asked: "Brother, if we leave, what if something happens to this fortress?" ”

"That's better than Fei Yangwu's master being completely annihilated by the Nanban!" Gurma whipped the horse's ass fiercely, urging his subordinates to roll up a puff of smoke and dust in the corridor of western Liaoning.

After traveling dozens of miles, he encountered the defeated soldiers of Zhenghongqi Manchuria, and heard them say that the Zhenghongqi soldiers were defeated, and the master of Feiyangwu and Jierdu were killed by the Ming army.

"Brother! Don't panic! We've only seen these minions. Feiyang Wubeile led thousands of people in Manchuria with the Red Banner, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be killed by Ming Gou in a battle. There must still be people. All we have to do is save it! ”

"Korai!" Gurmahun steadied for a moment, and called out the name of his other brother.

"Brother, I'm here!"

"Leave you a cow and five hundred coats, and you will slowly contain the defeated soldiers in the back." After commanding Gorai, Gurmahun stabbed the Eight Banners spear in his hand high into the sky. "Baturu with the blue flag! Our old master is now besieged, his life and death are unknown, and it is a hero who will save me with me! ”

There was a howl like a tiger and a wolf, and all the Qing riders galloped together on their horses, and the iron hooves beat the frozen soil in winter. From time to time, clods of earth with ice ballast flew out. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded through the sky for miles.

"Just in time!"

Wang Pu, who was beaten by Yue Le on the mountain, looked at the cavalry team rolling in the distance, and the anger in his chest did not come anywhere. was originally a very simple achievement, but he was made disgraced by his group of uncompetitive subordinates, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Li Fuming. In the words of this Shanxi general soldier, Wang Pu also felt like he had been poured three stones of old vinegar in his nose.

In the face of the cynicism of Li Fuming and other generals of Shanxi Town, Wang Pu can bear it, and Wang Zheng and other generals of Datong Town may not be able to swallow this breath, originally! Everyone is a virtue, the eldest brother doesn't say that the second brother will get it, if you don't have a model brigade behind you to support you, how can you win so many military merits?

Fortunately, Wu Biao played a round from it, otherwise the mutual accusations and attacks within the big tent would have evolved from insulting and pushing to drawing knives against each other. "Wang Shuai, your cavalry is in full swing, you might as well go into battle with my horse battalion and defeat this enemy who comes to help. Li Shuai, your cavalry is to serve as a sentry and guard around the entire battlefield. The rest of the infantry is the general reserve. As for the remnants of the slaves and thieves on the mountain, they will be attacked by the infantry of our model brigade! ”

With Wu Biao's words, Wang Pu suddenly became a lot more emboldened.

Looking at the queue of people in front of him, as well as the thick-backed saber with a thick back in the hands of the cavalry of the model brigade cavalry, Wang Pu explained to Wang Zheng in a low voice: "Today, you can not kill the slave cavalry, just show me the tactical formation of the model brigade cavalry, figure it out, and then train our cavalry!" ”

"Damn Nikan! Here we go again! Gurmahun, who was preparing to attack in a row from a distance, saw the formation of three columns of cavalry in the distance, and the even larger cavalry formation behind these three columns, and couldn't help but curse in his heart!

It's that he can endure it on weekdays, and when he encounters the Nanban army that uses the same tricks several times, he can't bear it and scolds him.

From Jinan to Liaodong, how many times have you used this trick? If you don't bother, we're all bothered!

The hundreds of defeated soldiers who had just been contained in the team, seeing the familiar formation from a distance, couldn't help but feel a little lost, "Tiefutu!" Iron Float! ”

He ordered Gong Ah to drag the defeated soldiers aside, and each of them was rewarded with ten lashes. Gurmahun felt bitter in his heart. The cavalry on the opposite side was completely unreasonable. A group of guys who didn't have any martial arts at all actually relied on brute force to beat the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to the point that they had palpitations.

Their tactics, to put it bluntly, are worthless. It is to form a fast horse and rush into formation. When the cavalry hedges, it does not entangle with the opponent, but constantly rushes back and forth, smashing the enemy's formation and disrupting the enemy's formation. What happened after that was the end of the Eight Banners cavalry being besieged and beaten.

"Kill!"

A trumpet sounded, thousands of horses neighed in unison, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the ground. Thousands of cavalry from Datong Town and the Model Brigade, a rolling iron stream of cavalry surging out.

At the front of the formation, there were still more than 800 model brigade cavalry, and they were still acting as a cavalry formation with hammerheads to break through the enemy. At the forefront of the charge was still Isshiki, who used the spear as his weapon, acting as a minion to break through the enemy's formation.

On the hill a few miles away, the golden weaving dragon silk floating in the wind made him very happy in his heart, the dragon was there, and the main force of Fei Yangwu and Zhenghongqi Manchuria was there!

"Rush! Rush over! The old master is in front, go and rescue the old master! There is a reward for everyone! ”

A model brigade of horses that came at great speed. Increasing the speed of the horses to the extreme, hundreds of healthy horses slammed into Gurmahun's troops head-on with the pride of contempt for anything that stood in their way.

The two armies were only two or three miles apart, and it was only a matter of an eye for the cavalry to pounce on each other. As a muffled sound continued to sound in the queue, Gurma's eyes couldn't help but close in pain, and it started again!

In the past, when fighting against the cavalry of the Ming army, it was basically the cavalry of the Qing army that pressed the Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army rarely dared to hedge with the Qing cavalry, and most of the time they needed the protection of the artillery fire and the car battalion at the head of the city. It's called leaning against the wall. But then the mobility of the cavalry was lost. Of course, there is a human element in this, but there is also a horse sake. In terms of dense formation, in fact, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was far stricter than the cavalry of the Ming army, except for the factor of personal skills. Their military discipline was stricter than that of the Ming army, and the number of horses was more numerous and better, and they could achieve two horses or several horses.

However, Gurmahun made a mistake today. He traveled a long distance of 100 miles, and although he changed his horse, the cavalry did not get a short period of recovery, and went directly to the battlefield.

Like red-hot knives inserted into butter, the horses of the Model Brigade easily rushed into the chaotic and loose array of Qing cavalry on the opposite side, knocking them all the way to the point of turning their horses on their backs, leaving a bloody path in the crowd where the horses passed.

"Shoot the arrows!"

After several battles with the cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Army, Gurmahun also had some experience, knowing that the cavalry in front of him was not easy to deal with, and the trick he adopted was to fight with the same end. If you don't want to be knocked out of formation by him and knocked people on their backs, it's best to kill his cavalry first!

The bowstrings sounded, and waves of arrows shot from their riding bows, and some people used their horsepower to throw bones, javelins, throwing axes, spinning knives, broadswords, sickles, and other weapons.

Although the horse bow of the Qing soldiers is not as powerful as the foot bow, the speed of the arrow is not fast, and the shooting distance is not far, but the accuracy is very good, and it seems that it is not affected by the bumps on the horse's back. In particular, their arrows are large and heavy, with blood grooves, like three edges, and their armor-piercing and bloodletting abilities are extremely strong, and if they are hit, they will soon bleed too much and die.

At a distance of more than ten or twenty steps, facing the enemy's rain of arrows and bone javelins, the lethality of these weapons and the speed of the war horse brought the damage to the cavalry can be imagined.

Cavalrymen kept screaming and falling from their horses, or because their horses were hit by the thrown weapons and fell to the ground with a neigh, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled into pulp by the galloping horses.

Wang Pu, who was closely guarded by dozens of family members from afar, took in all this scene, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. After the horse team that had been poisoned by the Tartar cavalry fell to the ground, the cavalry of the Model Brigade did not even look at him, but tried their best to fill the vacant position after he fell to the ground, continued to maintain the formation, and continued to rush forward. And those Liaodong thieves who rushed to the cavalry of Datong Town through the queue of the triple model brigade were like humanoid beasts with teeth and claws, full of anger, and they didn't seem to see a trace of humanity.

"Kill!"

Wake up like a dream, the one hundred and ten Datong Town cavalry who rushed to the front can see clearly, the Qing cavalry in front of them is only more than ten people, and the body is drenched in blood, I don't know when I am injured, I don't want your head at this time, but when?

For a moment, the three-eyed guns, hook sickles, palladium, and big sticks beckoned towards the oncoming tartars.

"Don't be in a hurry to cut off your head, follow along! Follow along! There is a head in front! ”

Adhering to Wang Pu's will, Wang Zhengdu led hundreds of families to follow closely behind Lin Changgen's horse team, not knowing that he would think that his sentry horse was the fourth column of the horse team.

"Brother! No more! If we continue like this, our minions will be finished! ”

After a round of impact, both sides suffered casualties. The inspection losses, the model brigade lost more than 100 people, the troops of the Gurmahun brothers lost hundreds of people, but the town of Datong only lost dozens of people, but the wounded were as high as hundreds.

Seeing the tragic condition of those elite horsemen with broken tendons and broken bones and trampled into flesh, Gong grabbed the reins of Gurmahun and begged him with tears to stop working so hard.
