Chapter 125: Counting is Counting

Thirty miles north of Tai'an County, there were originally 12,000 Qing soldiers stationed here, deterring nearly ten county towns within a radius of 100 miles, including Tai'an County, five days passed, and the 100,000 Qing troops who entered Shandong, plus Li Huaxi led the 40,000 rebels who took refuge in the past, a total of 140,000 soldiers, went to various parts of Shandong by nine routes, and launched all the hidden piles in ambushes in various counties in Shandong.

Thanks to the prestige of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades, as well as the policy of preferential treatment of the Han people, and the loss of confidence in the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, in just five days, more than 50 counties in Shandong, more than half of the counties surrendered without a fight, and the Qing army occupied more than 30 counties without a single soldier.

"Huh? Tai'an County also surrendered? "This station, excluding the soldiers and horses sent to the various surrender counties to accept the surrender, now has about 5,000 men and horses left, mainly by a Manchu Niulu.

Although there is a Han who is a general among these 5,000 people, and this Manchu Niu Lu is only equivalent to a thousand generals of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no more than 1,000 people, but these 1,000 people are all Manchu iron cavalry soldiers, this Niu Lu's status in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention a Han general who surrendered, even if the Han general who commanded tens of thousands of troops surrendered to the Manchu camp, he had to bow his head to this Manchu Niu Lu.

"Count Tai'an's county order acquaintance! I heard that Tai'an is a big county, come and order 2,000 soldiers and horses, and this Niu Lu will receive it in person! "This Manchu Niu Lu's name is Ah Guilu, at this moment, Ah Guilu has a lewd smile on his face, he not only wants to personally receive Tai'an County, but also wants to select a few Han beauties from Tai'an to enjoy.

To say that the Han beauties have fine skin and tender meat, they seem to be able to pinch out the water, which is incomparably **, many Manchurian generals like it very much, and Ah Guilu is no exception, so he will collect a few to enjoy everywhere he goes.

Originally, the Manchurians gave five days to the counties of Shandong, and they were given secret piles to persuade the county commanders or the generals who defended the city, and used the high-ranking officials Houlu as a lure to lure them to surrender without a fight, and today is the last day, except for the more than 30 county towns that know the current affairs, and nearly 20 county towns that are stubborn and refuse to surrender, will be forcibly broken by the army after today, and for those counties that dare to resist, the Manchus will not be so gentle, and they will kill him with a river of blood!

Because of the decades of successive victories, the Manchus gradually developed a proud heart, and did not take the Han people seriously at all, believing that all Han people were born cowardly as lambs, and this idea would soon make them pay the price of blood.

Ah Guilu took three hundred Manchu Eight Banner Iron Cavalry and 1,700 Han Banner Army to Tai'an, and along the way thought of the beauties that might be collected from Tai'an, Ah Guilu's heart was hot, and he couldn't wait to enter Tai'an immediately.

In Tai'an County, Yan Yingyuan still ordered his subordinates to completely blockade Tai'an at this moment.

"The Qing army is coming, everyone hurry up, completely block this road." Yan Yingyuan commanded hundreds of soldiers to pile up a bunch of things on the main road three hundred meters forward from the north gate of Tai'an to block the road, and all the gaps on both sides of the road that can pass through the horses are blocked with wooden fences, once the Manchu cavalry rushes in, it will inevitably be intercepted on the 300-meter road, unable to impact the inner city, and then ambush the archers on both sides of the 300-meter road, which will inevitably make the Qing army that first rushed into the city suffer heavy casualties! This is Yan Yingyuan's plan!

"Big brother, the Qing soldiers are here, there are about two thousand people, including three hundred full cavalry!" Feng Houdun shouted on the city wall.

"Everyone is hiding in ambush!" Yan Yingyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent and shouted at everyone. With Yan Yingyuan's order, everyone was holding bows and arrows and ambushed on the roofs on both sides of the three-hundred-meter road, preparing to ambush the Qing army that would enter the city.

Outside the city, the Manchu Niulu Guilu led two thousand soldiers and horses to Tai'an County, looking at the city gate that was being opened, Guilu grinned, although he didn't see anyone out of the city to greet him, but Guilu didn't think much about it, only when the county commander of Tai'an County was ignorant, he immediately led two thousand people to Tai'an and rushed over.

"Boom! Bang!! "The horse's hooves hit the stone bricks laid on the ground at the city gate, and the first to enter the city were three hundred Manchu iron horsemen on horseback, these people deserved to be known as the first cavalry in the world, one by one, fierce and vicious, fierce and abnormally rushed into the city gate.

After all the 300 Manchu cavalry rushed into the city gate, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared at the city gate and struggled to close the city gate, and all the 1,700 Han and Eight Banner soldiers who had not rushed in outside were blocked outside the gate.

"Not good! There is fraud! Ah, Lord Guilu, they are in danger! A Han Baqi Qian said in shock.

In the city, Ah Guilu took the lead, and after leading the 308 Banner Iron Cavalry to rush in for more than 300 meters, he was suddenly blocked by a pile of wood and other debris piled up in the middle of the road.

"Squeak"

At this time, he found that the north of the city behind him was suddenly closed, and the corner of Guilu's eyes jumped.

A large number of archers suddenly appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the road, with more than 1,000 people, all of whom pointed at the 308 banner iron horsemen, drawing their bows and ready to attack, and the killing machine was awe-inspiring!

"Damn! Shameless guy dog! Actually deceitful! Ah Guilu gritted his teeth, realized that he had been deceived, and immediately scolded.

Ah Guilu reacted quickly, and immediately reached out and grabbed the bow and arrow hanging on the horseback, the same is true for other Manchus, who are a people who grew up on horseback, and are born to be masters of riding and archery, and their archery skills are excellent.

"Shoot!" Yan Yingyuan gave an order, and before these people began to shoot arrows with bows, the archers on the roofs on both sides let go of their fingers.

"Woo Woo !!"

More than 1,000 arrows flew from the rooftops on both sides towards the 300 Eight Banners Iron Horsemen, densely packed, like rain! Yan Yingyuan also personally bent his bow and set up an arrow, aiming at Ah Guilu and shooting an arrow.

"Ah" Nearly 100 Manchurians were hit by arrows, and about 30 Manchus were hit and fell from their horses. Ah Guilu's scalp was numb and he looked at the rain of arrows in the sky, because he was obviously dressed, everyone saw that Ah Guilu was the general of these Manchurians, and many people were aiming at Ah Guilu, and at least hundreds of arrows were flying towards Ah Guilu alone.

Ah Guilu's eyes were split, and he quickly dodged, but he could dodge one, how could he not dodge hundreds, Ah Guilu was immediately shot in the thigh and lower abdomen by several arrows at the same time. Ah Guilu screamed, poof, another arrow shot extremely accurately, directly from Ah Guilu's heart, through the chest, Ah Guilu was killed, but before he fell off the horse, more than a dozen arrows were shot at him, Ah Guilu was suddenly shot into a hedgehog, even the war horse he sat on was not spared, there were more than 20 arrows inserted in the body of Ah Guilu sat down on the horse, and Ah Guilu and his own war horse were shot into a hedgehog, very miserable, Ah Guilu died so much that he could not die anymore!

"Ah, Gui Niu Lu is dead in battle! Fight back! Fight back! A man full of people shouted.

The Manchurian people have been fighting in all directions for many years, every Manchurian man has experienced more than a dozen major wars, their psychological quality is still quite strong, ah Guilu's death did not cause much panic among the Manchus, all the Manchus were finally able to bend their bows and arrows at this time, and shoot arrows back at the Ming soldiers on the roofs on both sides of the road!

"Woo Woo !!"

I have to say that the archery skills of the Manchurians are extremely powerful, although there are only more than 200 people who shoot arrows, but they shot more than 100 Ming soldiers on the roof in one fell swoop, however, in the end, it is the Ming soldiers who are more powerful, and more than 1,000 arrows are shot down again, and nearly 100 Manchu people are hit by arrows, dozens of people are killed and fallen from their horses on the spot, and more than half of the three hundred Manchu Eight Banners who were ambushed were killed and injured in an instant, and the ability to resist was greatly reduced!

Outside the city, the general of the Han Banner Army led 1,700 Han Banner troops to rush to the city gate, but was blocked by the suddenly closed city gate, and he was immediately shocked. At this time, hundreds of heads appeared on the city wall, and hundreds of arrows rained down on the city, shooting towards the 1,78 Manchu Han Banner Army under the city.

"Ah" Because the number of people was too dense, more than 100 Han Banner troops were hit by arrows.

"Retreat, retreat!" The general of the Han Banner Army was shocked and hurriedly ordered.

Suddenly, the 1,78 Han Banner Army dropped dozens of corpses and retreated beyond the range of the bow and arrow on the city wall.

Since he did not carry any siege equipment, the general of the Han Banner Army could only stare at the closed city gate, there was no doubt that the three hundred and eight banner iron cavalry that Ah Guilu and others rushed in were afraid that they would encounter accidents.

Thinking that all the Eight Banner Iron Cavalry would die inside, a cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of this Han Banner Army general, if he led people back to the camp like this, Prince Shuoying would definitely kill him when he found out.

On the city wall, Feng Houdun sneered at the more than 1,000 lackeys of the Han Banner Army outside the city, and led the hundreds of people on the city wall to shoot arrows at the remaining more than 100 Manchu Eight Banner iron cavalry in the city.

Hundreds of bows and arrows on the city wall were added, and under the dense rain of arrows, the remaining more than 100 Manchu Eight Banner Iron Cavalry were all killed in an instant, and the whole army was wiped out!

"What should I do?" Outside the city, the general of the Han Banner Army was anxiously thinking about how to rescue Ah Guilu and others in the city.

At this time, a bloody human head was suddenly thrown down on the city wall, it was the Manchu Eight Banners general Ah Guilu, there is no doubt that the three hundred Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry who rushed into the city were all wiped out!

"Ah, Guilu really died in battle! All 300 Manchurians must have died in battle! I'm dying! "When the Han Banner Army saw Ah Guilu's head thrown down, his face immediately turned to ashes, if it weren't for the fact that the lives of the family were controlled by the Manchus, he really wanted to flee immediately! But now it seems that he can only exchange his own life for the safety of his family.

"Poof!" The Han Banner Army General immediately drew his sword and killed himself, staring at Tai'an with dead eyes, he believed that Prince Shuoying Azig would definitely avenge him and wash Tai'an in blood. However, this Han Banner Army general didn't want to think about it, Azig was a Manchu prince, how could he care about the life of a Han Banner Army general, and if he wanted to take revenge, he would also avenge Ah Guilu and other 308 Banner Iron Cavalry who died in Tai'an City!

Sure enough, Azig, who was in Jinan City, heard that the 308 Banner Iron Horseman had broken Tai'an, and he was immediately furious!

"Tai'an is looking for death! This king will definitely wash Tai'an in blood! Command the army to attack Tai'an immediately! Azig roared with a hideous face, angry, the little Tai'an County actually buried his three hundred Qing soldiers, it was really hateful, he not only wanted to bloody Tai'an, but also slaughtered Tai'an!

Yesterday was the first day on the shelves, and it was supposed to break out more than 10,000 words, but I went out for a few hours at night, and I came back late, only more than 6,000 words, and it was so late, I'm sorry everyone, I tried to break out once today, at least 10,000 words.
