"Oh," said Doron and Suo Etu, their eyes widened together, a corps headquarters was more exciting than surrounding a field division, and it looked like the headquarters was left alone and unprotected.

"Brother Xian, are you going or am I going?" Suo Etu said with a smile.

"Hehe, there you go." Doron was very humble and gave up the opportunity to Suo Etu.

Suo Etu felt wrong, "How many, don't you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Duolong said: "Someone has to take care of it here, otherwise the soldiers and horses here will rush out, and we will be passive, don't you say?" ”

Suo Etu didn't know what kind of mentality this Duolong was, but he was still eager to catch the enemy's corps commander, which was equivalent to the existence of the former Ming Governor and the governor of several provinces.

The two of them divided their troops, Suo Etu led 10,000 Manchu soldiers, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, 5,000 Han army banner cavalry, 30,000 Han army banner soldiers and horses, as well as 50,000 soldiers and horses of Xiangyong and Tuanyong, plus more than 30,000 people captured along the road to Huailai County.

Here, Duolong said to his subordinate Goshha: "Send people to collect soldiers and horses in various places, and recruit the soldiers and horses of those county towns and prefectures, whether they are government officials, fast catchers, or young and strong, and if they don't come, they will be corrected on the spot." ”

Anyway, this place is going to fall, Duolong knows, the Manchu civil and military knows, those who can escape, the people who claim to be Qing people have fled outside the pass, those who do not escape, and those who do not have the ability to escape, are not the people of their Great Qing Kingdom, no one thinks it is unreasonable, since they are not their own people, there are no scruples on the battlefield, as if other people's families kill pigs, and it is not their business at all.

Suo Etu left, Duolong continued to command the Qing army to follow behind the people, from time to time to cast cold guns, cold guns, the guns of the Qing army are not as good as the Huaxia army, so much, as many as you want, they have lost a lot of territory in a row, although the Beijing division also has a place to make cannons and guns, but with the defeat of the Qing army, the officials have no intention of managing, just asking, never investing, so the quality of guns is declining more and more, and the output is getting less and less.

Among the 400,000 soldiers and horses, in fact, only 50,000 soldiers and horses have good guns and cannons, and the guns and cannons of 80,000 soldiers and horses are all guns and cannons that have been captured in the Dajin Kingdom before, and the others are all landlords, and the gentry buy them privately, and the guns in their hands are better than the Qing army, and there are more, and the guns in the hands of the villagers are not inferior to the Qing army, but most of the villagers are not strong in combat, and no one organizes them, or they are not well organized, and they will only rush forward in a swarm.

The artillery of the Huaxia Army began to sound rhythmically again, "Boom, boom, boom," one after another, exploding one after another, and the selection points were the most densely populated places.

As the artillery fire blew up the large group of men and horses of the Qing army, the people who blew up their horses turned on their backs, and the dense firepower made the charging cavalry fall off their horses one after another, and a shout sounded on the position of the Huaxia army.

Then there is the neat drum beat, everyone knows the drum, this is the rhythm of the attack, Duolong lying on the wall of a manor with both hands, leaning into the distance, a row of dark blue uniforms stood up, the neat and uniform serial guns were raised and aimed at the front, with the faint whistle sounding, this is the squad platoon, the baton in the hands of the company commander, those Chinese soldiers took a step, walked forward step by step, walked out of the position ten meters away, and began to shoot at the Qing army charging at them in a row.

In the confusion of gunpowder, the firm footsteps will never stop.

There is a kind of murderous aura that exudes a mighty and domineering body.

The artillery on their left and right used flowering shells to hit the Qing army at the front of the team, and the Qing army rushed towards the enemy's team at the beginning, and even some cavalry ran to the front of the enemy team and brandished a scimitar, cutting off a few enemy heads, but they were quickly killed by random shots, and even the horses were knocked to the ground by the enemy, and then the enemy's team still resolutely moved forward, only an arm's length between each other, but the density of bullets made the remaining Qing troops unable to get close to them.

The charge of the Qing army turned into the enemy's action of cutting the wall like a chisel, and soon the wall collapsed, whether it was the charging Qing army or the green battalion soldiers, the people, and the village brave, all turned and fled, and were confused in the fierce artillery attack from the enemy's rear.

The enemy fought back, and that was the first thought that came to Doron's mind.

The second was that he couldn't let the enemy counterattack succeed, he turned around and shouted, "Attack, let the cavalry attack, you must stop them." ”

The answer to him was the more fierce shelling of the Huaxia army, the veterans were afraid of machine guns, the recruits were afraid of artillery, and the common people and villagers who generally did not have much combat experience were completely frightened by the artillery, and there were stumps and broken arms, intestines and minced meat everywhere.

The green battalion soldiers who were coerced by the people and the villagers were clever, threw away their guns and ammunition, took off their clothes, and ran away with their lives, anyway, they no longer thought about fighting, even if they were caught, they would not die, and the surging Huaxia army saw that those with guns and knives were directly shot to death, and they could temporarily save their lives by throwing away the guns and swords.

There were people in the Han army flag who were resisting, but in the face of their own people, they couldn't shoot, and after shooting, it didn't take a few clicks to be snatched away by the people and the villagers, and they were thrown to the ground, and then the person was killed by everyone, and then the Han army flag was also coerced and fled.

The cavalry has fled and does not know where to go, all the way away, the Huaxia army chased all the way, and soon chased to the second line of defense of the outer defense line, many villages were attacked by a sudden artillery fire, the Qing army abandoned the village and began to flee for their lives, so the later troops occupied the village, began to build fortifications, and many servant troops began to arrest people.

This time the counterattack, the soldiers of the Qing army alone captured 8,000 people, the Han army captured tens of thousands of people, and the green battalion soldiers captured 20,000 or 30,000 people, the Qing army only cared about escaping and could not counterattack, the third brigade of the 16th field division of the Huaxia Army suffered few casualties, and lost a battalion of more than 600 troops at the beginning, and the other losses were shells and bullets, which were consumed a lot.

The people were brought to the rear, the prisoners were placed in place to help build fortifications, the third brigade retreated after attacking for some time, and the second brigade began to take over their defense of the outer line, connecting villages and towns one by one, a defensive circle of about ten miles, and the servant army cooperated with them.

The Huaxia army also captured nearly 5,000 war horses, nearly 10,000 war horses on the battlefield, and dragged back horse meat and horse broth to make everyone very happy.

Even the captured people drank the horse broth, but not many of them could drink it, because they saw so much minced meat in a whole day, and it was simply torture for the people.

"There are not enough ammunition, the captured guns and artillery have been issued, most of the servant army has taken the captured muskets, and those captives each have some swords in their hands, and a small number of muskets, but our ammunition is not enough, and the Eighth Field Division has not returned, I don't know if the cavalry company intercepted them, or because they did not have an order, they did not dare to return without permission." The commander of the cavalry regiment came to find Dongfeng Po.

"Hasn't the baggage from the headquarters been shipped yet?" Dongfeng Po asked.

The commander of the cavalry said: "We are surrounded here, the headquarters is not enough, I am afraid it is impossible to risk sending us ammunition, you know, they are not many, the strength of the Qing army is hundreds of thousands, in case half of the road is surrounded, it is not good, and we have to save it." ”
