Lü Bao's 26th Field Brigade launched an operation, but the Qing army suffered heavy losses in several battles, killing more than 3,000 village warriors, more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers, more than 500 Han flag cavalry, and more than 2,000 soldiers were missing or fled, so they had to stop the attack, clean up, withdraw the remaining 10,000 troops to various places, and abandon this defense line.

The shadow of defeat shrouded the various camps of the Qing army, the internal fighting of the Qing army still did not stop, the various commanders inquired about the battle of the imperial court, and at night, the imperial court sent a prince out to serve as the supervisor of the attack, and handed over the task of this attack to Duolong, who fled back from Shandong Prefecture, to preside.

Duo Long's face was decadent, and his heart was depressed, he really didn't want to fight with the Huaxia Army anymore, it was too powerful.

The soldiers who fled back from the back knew that Tian Bin's army had taken refuge in the Huaxia Army, and he couldn't even defeat Tian Bin's rebel army, how could he defeat the regular army of the Huaxia Army, that was the regular army of the Huaxia Army, the B-level field brigade, and the guns and artillery equipped were much more powerful than Tian Bin's rebels holding the tattered guns and ammunition of the Qing army.

I don't want to return, he can't make a trace of not wanting to lead the troops to fight, otherwise this prince will not let him go, he was killed by the Huaxia army, and now the capital, the imperial court, in fact, is these princes and the Ao Bai in the army are in charge, as for the emperor, a little kid, what can be powerful, it is not a tool at their mercy.

And now he is also a tool at the mercy of these princes, he is very depressed, I don't know what will happen to the Qing Dynasty next, most of the territory has been lost, and now he is guarding a Hebei Prefecture and the capital, behind which is their hometown Liaodong.

Do you want to go back to the bitter cold land of Liaodong again?

Many Manchus have become accustomed to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, so they will go back, so stay and face the Han people who want to eat them all up?

They are very conflicted, and many people are very demoralized because of it.

And the Han people, who saw hope, also turned their guns one after another, opposing them, the Manchu masters.

Many places are unstable, and I heard that the Han officials who were suppressed in the imperial court have quietly united and want to rebel.

They also felt the panic of the last days of the Ming Dynasty, the despair and confusion that fell every day.

Doron asked his deputy, Suo Etu, "How many troops do we have now, and who are they?" ”

Suo Etu bowed and said: "My lord, at present, there are a total of 15,000 soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion, 3,000 soldiers of the Han Army, 5,000 Manchu infantry, 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, and a newly transferred new army unit, as well as 13,000 soldiers who have retreated from the battlefield. ”

Duolong rubbed his face and said bitterly: "It seems that we can only rely on our people, but unfortunately the five thousand soldiers I brought have been defeated, and only five hundred soldiers have been collected so far, and the others don't know whether they are dead or captured." ”

Suo Etu said: "You can't rely on these Eight Banner soldiers, these are the newly recruited second-generation young people born in the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, they are the soldiers of the Eight Banners, they are no longer as brave as our group of people, they are all corrupted by the Han people, and their combat effectiveness can only reach sixty percent of us, which is slightly higher than the combat effectiveness of the Han Army Banner." ”

Duolong shook his head helplessly, "Then I can only ask for more soldiers of the Han Army Banner, the combat effectiveness of the Han Army Banner is still okay, if it wasn't for the dark of the previous battle, as long as we supervise the battle, they can still cause a lot of losses to those rebels." ”

Suo Etu hit his confidence again, "Now the morale of the Han army is low, many people are panicking, and there is still some combat effectiveness, but it is impossible to defeat the Huaxia army with him, as a defense, defending the city, and containing the soldiers and horses, they can still complete the task, but let them attack the Huaxia army head-on, it is impossible, the previous battle, they fought not so resolutely, otherwise such a line of defense full of loopholes and the enemy cannot defend, to let our Manchu warriors in the past, have already broken through, and surrounded them, How could the enemy still hold the line after losing nearly 10,000 soldiers? ”

Duolong was a little impetuous, there were no suitable soldiers left, oh my God, is it going to be the Qing Dynasty?

Suo Etu continued: "For the battle, those green battalion soldiers don't think so, anyway, they can't fight and surrender in the past, and they won't suffer much trouble, the Huaxia army has now reduced the punishment for them, generally these soldiers have been taken prisoner, they stay on the battlefield for a year, work in the prisoner camp for a year, and if they perform well, they can become ordinary people, and if they don't perform well, they will only stay for another year, and then become ordinary people, many green battalion soldiers are now slightly better in combat effectiveness than the people, It can only be said that it will not collapse immediately before going to the battlefield, and if the battle is a little more intense on the battlefield, it is estimated that it will collapse immediately. ”

Duolong glanced at Suo Etu, this guy is a talent, he can understand the state of the current soldier so clearly, and he is a general who can be cultivated, but what's the use of this, it was okay in the early years, but now he is out, he can only become a member of the enemy's hard labor camp, it is better to be an ordinary soldier, maybe after being captured, he can stay in it for a few years, and then transfer to the prisoner camp, and after ten years, he will come out of the prisoner camp, and he can become a Manchu common man on the territory of the Huaxia Army, and live this life ordinarily.

To be a Manchu general, you can only work in the hard labor of the Huaxia army to death, this is how the Huaxia army dealt with the Manchus, like he needless to say, it must be heinous, and the solution must be spent in the hard labor camp for a few years or a few months for the rest of his life, if it is not good, he will be shot directly in the past to deter other generals of the Qing Dynasty.

"The handsome man arrives at ——," When the two people were depressed for the troops, a shout sounded from the door, and the two people quickly stood up and looked outside.

At this time, he had been named the generalissimo of soldiers and horses by the Qing Dynasty, the secretary of the military department, the bachelor of Hanlin, the prince Shaobao, and the general leader of the world's soldiers and horses.

There are a lot of soldiers and horses in the world, and the green battalions in various places, although the territory of the Qing Dynasty has shrunk to a state, there are 300,000 green battalions in this state, and these are the newly formed green battalion soldiers, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses in training, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses fighting on the front line.

The green battalion is the Han soldiers, the Han army flag is the Manchu Han army that has carried the flag, and the Manchu Han flag soldiers who have been living in Liaodong for decades transferred from Liaodong, although they are the second and third generations, they can be loyal to insurance, and their combat effectiveness is much more powerful than the green battalion that was temporarily called, and the regimental training is much more reliable than that of the village bravery.

"The last general, Duolong (Suo Etu), greeted the generalissimo," the two men knelt down on one knee together and bowed to Ao.
