Chapter 366: The Bloody Battle of Wei City (Second Update!) )
Zhang Dingguo looked resolute and did not seem to be affected in any way.
He must fight this battle. No matter how many people died, it could not shake his determination.
Regardless of whether the father-in-law and brother-in-law died or not, the soldiers and civilians in Boryeong City were indeed slaughtered by the Qing army.
If he can't avenge these dead souls, what qualifications does he have to stay in Sichuan?
In this battle, Zhang Dingguo made a fate, and he was only allowed to win but not lose.
A steady stream of Western soldiers poured towards the city.
At first, the Qing army was able to deal with it calmly, but when they fought them, they found that these Western soldiers seemed to be unable to kill them at all.
Some brave soldiers jumped on the city and fought hand-to-hand with the Qing army.
These daredevils had a resolute look in their eyes.
They knew it would be hard for them to survive the fight, but that didn't stop them from giving their all.
They are not only for themselves, but also for the robes around them and the people of Sichuan.
The inhumanity of the Tartars is not worthy of being powerful in Sichuan.
Zhao Tieniu is a member of the Western Army's death squad.
He couldn't remember exactly when he joined the Great Western Army.
Maybe it's the eleventh year of Chongzhen, maybe it's the twelfth year of Chongzhen.
Before joining the Great Western Army, he was an honest farmer, pouting his ass all day long in the land to eat and live a life facing the loess with his back to the sky.
He never thought about rebellion, he just wanted to live a good life, and his wife and children were hot kang is his greatest pursuit.
But years of natural disasters ruined his dream.
The crops were not harvested, and the rice jar at home also bottomed out.
Zhao Tieniu wanted to borrow grain, but the poor villagers in the same village were in a similar situation to his family, and they didn't give him much.
As for the fat sons of the landlord's family, there is no need to count on them, they will not lend a grain of grain even if the grain in their rice warehouse is moldy.
Seeing that the whole family was about to starve to death, Zhao Tieniu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to join the Great Western Army.
At that time, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, was recruiting manpower, and Ding Zhuang like Zhao Tieniu had as many as he wanted.
And Zhao Tieniu's wife and children can also be incorporated into the old camp of the Great Western Army at the same time and transferred with the Great Western Army.
Although Zhao Tieniu could not go to the old camp to see his wife and children at will during the war, he would always have the opportunity to meet after the war.
Zhao Tieniu was already very satisfied with this.
If it weren't for the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, he would probably have turned into a skeleton with his wife and children.
Now that I can live and eat enough every day, who can not be satisfied?
Zhao Tieniu swore at that time that his life was sold to the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong.
Not to mention that the Eight Kings asked him to fight the official army and beat the Emperor Lao Tzu, even if the Eight Kings asked him to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, he would not frown.
Although Zhao Tieniu had never studied martial arts before and had never been a soldier, he had a strong ability to learn.
In addition, he was very brave in battle, and he would charge forward in every battle, which won the appreciation of the officers and was promoted.
At that time, there was a rule in the Onishi Army, which was to take off the soldiers' shirts for inspection after the battle. Soldiers with wounds in their backs are killed on the spot.
This is because only deserters will expose their backs to the enemy, and in the process of escaping, their backs can easily be cut.
Of course, if you are lucky, the deserter may not be injured in the back. But as long as there is a wound in the back, nine times out of ten, it is a deserter.
Under this harsh military regulation, many villagers who joined the Great Western Army at the same time as Zhao Tieniu were beheaded by military law, but Zhao Tieniu was never injured in the back, and he relied on the accumulation of many years of military merits to achieve the general success.
He cherishes everything he has gained. He also knew very well who gave all this.
When he was the poorest and most helpless, the court did not lend a hand, and it was Zhang Xianzhong who saved him.
So when he knew that Zhang Xianzhong was likely to be killed by the Tartars, he was full of energy and wanted to fight with the Tartars.
I didn't expect that today really made him wait for an opportunity.
Just one Wei City wants to block the advance of the Great Western Army?
These Tartars are too contemptuous of people, aren't they?
Zhao Tieniu knew his robe very well, and his brothers were as angry as he was, eager to tear the tartars to shreds one by one.
"Kill!"
Zhao Tieniu roared and swung his knife at a tartar's neck.
That Tartar should be about twenty years old, and his face is still a little immature.
But looking at the edges and corners of the facial features, it is obviously not a real captivity, it should be a second tartar.
Zhao Tieniu's knife was very decisive, and the tartar didn't realize that he was cut in by the waist knife at all.
But because of the angle and other reasons, Zhao Tieniu's knife did not directly cut off the head of the tartar, and the tartar subconsciously took two steps back and let out a terrible wail.
Zhao Tieniu pulled out the knife and followed it with a blow, the tartar covered the wound with one hand to stop the bleeding, and the other raised the knife with difficulty to meet it.
But how could his soft knife here withstand Zhao Tieniu's blow.
But listening to the sound of ping-pong, the tiger tooth knife in the Tartar's hand fell off in response.
Zhao Tieniu stabbed him in the chest mercilessly.
Burst!
The muffled sound of the blade entering the flesh was a little depressing, and Zhao Tieniu didn't want to continue to waste time, so he kicked the little tartar in the chest and pulled out the knife with his strength.
"Kill the Tartars!"
Zhao Tieniu's bloodiness was completely stimulated, and he also hoped that his actions would inspire more people to kill Tartar.
As more and more soldiers of the Western Army poured into the city, Hong Chengchou's face began to become solemn. He realized that it would be difficult to turn the tide with the Green Battalion alone.
If the Western Army really controls the city, the situation will be out of control.
He decided to urgently mobilize the Han military flag to turn the tide.
He would not use the Manchurian Eight Banners unless he had to.
Although this army is the strongest, it cannot be sacrificed because its numbers are too small and precious.
If too many Manchurian Eight Bannermen died in a single battle, the bannermen would certainly not give up.
At that time, things will be so big that I am afraid that the regent Dorgon will not be able to suppress it.
If you have to find a scapegoat, it must not be Bolo, then Hong Chengchou is the best candidate.
So unless it is a matter of life and death, Hong Chengchou will not let the Manchurian Eight Banners go into battle to kill the enemy.
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the strength of this Eight Banners Han Army is not weaker than that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria at all.
The core of this army is Tong Yanghe's banner soldiers.
Tong Yanghe has very strict requirements for their daily training, so the basic skills of this army are very solid.
After the Eight Banners Han Army joined the battle at Chengtou, the situation was reversed in an instant.
The green battalion soldiers, who were once chased and beaten by the Western Army and kept retreating, also straightened their waists and began a round of counterattacks.
The reason why the soldiers of the Western Army were able to gain the advantage on the scene was completely by a momentum.
In fact, their absolute number was much smaller than that of the Qing army.
Now that the Green Battalion has a backbone, they have begun to use the numerical advantage to compress the space of the soldiers of the Western Army, and the situation is very critical.
