Although Yue Le led Tong Guolai of the Han Army's Zhengbei Banner and Shi Tingzhu of the North Banner to resist, the Han Army's Zhengbai Keqi was different from the Green Battalion soldiers, and it was mostly built by Liaodong people, everyone was an old traitor and a vested interest, and there was no shame in surrendering the Tartars.

There are more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in the two Han army banners, plus the green battalion soldiers and horses of the servants, its strength is close to 20,000, although the strength is not dominant compared with the volunteers of the two towns, but following the Tartars into the pass to win a hundred battles, the soldiers of the department are not only experienced in a hundred battles, but also have a high fighting spirit.

Liu Wenxiu and Liu Weiming led the soldiers and horses of the two towns to press from afar, relying on the advantages of tiger squat cannons, flintlock guns, and earth-shaking thunder to counterattack again and again, but this gang of Liaodong traitors are tall and horse-like, and have rich experience in the battlefield.

At this time, He Mingluan broke his troops and fled to the Chinese army, and Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and others continued to lead troops to kill, so that the Tartars were attacked from both sides, and the situation became even more precarious.

With the passage of time, the battlefield situation was even more unfavorable to the Tartar divisions, and Cai Shiying's troops in the north were attacked by Cao Xun under the attack of the 1st Town, which was also in decline, and the battle lasted less than two hours, and the multi-way positions were constantly broken through, and finally Cai Shiying had to retreat to the center.

The soldiers and horses of the Four Towns Volunteer Army surrounded the two Han army flags commanded by Yue Le and the remnants of the soldiers and horses of the Huguang Green Battalion, although the eight banners of the Han army were die-hard traitors, but under the attack of the tiger squat cannon, the earth-shaking thunder, and the tiger squat artillery, the whole camp fell into a sea of fire, shouting and killing, everyone was left and right, and completely fell into a passive state.

Tong Tulai, the commander of the Zhengbei Banner of the Han army, knew that he was invincible, and repeatedly took Yue Le's hand and begged to send a signal to let his uncle regent Duoduo command the Manchurian cavalry to relieve the siege of the army, or retreat into the city to try a good strategy.

Duoduo was also quite annoyed, although it was difficult for nearly 40,000 Han Army Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers and horses to resist the soldiers and horses of the 4 towns of the Volunteer Army, seeing that the battle was like this, it was now the middle of the day, the sun was hotter than the fire, the south was humid, and the people and horses were constantly sweating, and there must be a lot of heat stroke in each department at that time.

And the gang of volunteers seem to be demonized one by one, and such a big sun seems to be not afraid of heat stroke, and everyone goes forward to kill one after another, isn't this asking for human lives?

In this case, Duoduo simply gave Yue Le a message and asked everyone to continue to resist, even if the soldiers and horses of the green battalion died, even if more than half of the Han army's Zhengbei Banner and Beibei Banner were killed or wounded.

As long as the sun sets in the west, his 10,000 Manchurian cavalry will be killed, so the volunteer army will definitely be defeated.

In this case, Yue Le once again exerted his leadership skills, using the green battalion to build a peripheral position, and the Han army's Zhengbei Banner and the North Banner to build a core position.

In the end, it was even more shouting that the Duoduo cavalry would be killed when the sun was setting in the west, so as to boost morale and deter the volunteers.

Yang Xuan wiped the beads of sweat from Kai's face with a towel, the sun was too big, not to mention the soldiers who were fighting, even if they stood in the distance, they couldn't stand it, and the sweat was like rain.

Taking the bowl of mung bean porridge handed over by Ma Wannian, Yang Xuan put it down and said, "Everyone, although the wind is very strong when the Yiting Pavilion is close to the river, the soldiers of such a big sun are also quite uncomfortable.

Although most of our volunteers were from poor backgrounds, and although we had worked under such a strong sun in the past, none of them fought with the Tartars under the scorching sun as we do now.

Let the general soldiers and deputy generals organize people to send mung bean porridge and kuding tea to the front line, and let the general soldiers and deputy generals of each town withdraw each brigade in batches, and let the brothers who have drunk mung bean porridge and kuding tea go to meet the brothers on the front line."

Gao Wengui, who was born in the rebel army, laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, although the scorching sun battle is bitter, but the tartar is even more bitter, send mung bean soup and bitter tea on the battlefield, isn't it?"

Senior Senator Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, now that the war is in full swing, you asked people to send mung bean porridge and bitter tea, doesn't this affect the morale of the army?" Before going to war, the soldiers drank a lot, and the soldiers could hold on.

The soldiers in the back have already drunk mung bean porridge and bitter tea, and the soldiers in front are fighting fiercely, can't they be sent at all?

Yang Xuan glared at everyone: "This king sat under the big fashion and didn't move, he was still very tired after half a day, and he also felt a lot of water loss, other brothers can imagine."

Tell the commanders and lieutenants of the towns that the men of the major teams and divisions are not complaining that there is no opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield?

Today, Lao Tzu will give them a chance to make meritorious contributions.

No matter who it is, picking up a bucket of mung bean porridge is equivalent to killing one enemy, and jumping up two buckets is equivalent to killing two enemies.

Tell the general soldiers and deputy generals of each town, and tell the soldiers of the whole army that as long as one person does not drink this delicious mung bean porridge and bitter tea, this king will share weal and woe with the soldiers, and this king will not drink anything. ”

Seeing that Yang Xuan was sweating, but he still viciously put the mung bean porridge on the table and didn't move, everyone knew that their minds had been decided, and everyone sent orders to the general soldiers and deputy generals of each town.

After hearing the order, Yang Rongfang, the commander of the 20th Regiment, was furious and shouted to the surrounding staff officers: "How many of our regiments haven't drunk mung bean porridge?"

Really, this kind of thing still requires the prince to give a death order, so that the brothers of the Great Sun are fighting hard with the Tartars, and we should have solved the worries of the brothers. ”

A staff officer replied: "Dusi, there are brothers from the 1st Battalion who have been killed too far ahead, and they are surrounded by the Tartars, and they can't be sent in at all."

Yang Rongfang glared at the staff officer next to him and said: "Everyone, this staff will recruit warriors, who is willing to send mung bean porridge and bitter tea over, as long as this staff is sent over, this staff will be rewarded, who has the courage?" ”

Several captains around him stood up and asked for battle.

Ma Mingluan walked down the steps and said to a captain: "Okay, the prince has always said that all departments must be bloody.

You, a few of you, led the people of the headquarters to kill the past, didn't the prince say that the man sent it to the credit?

As long as you can kill it, Lao Tzu will also give you credit.

Don't retreat after you kill it, you have to continue to expand the results, you go and tell Liwazi that as long as you can persevere, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will ask the prince for credit, whether it is the general, the hundred or the ordinary soldiers, everyone has merit. ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, the volunteer army implemented the military merit system, as long as they made great contributions on the battlefield, even if they were not promoted, they would also improve their salaries, for example, the corporal was 3 yuan more silver than the ordinary soldier, the sergeant was 3 yuan more, and the sergeant was 1 or 2 more silver.

The prince cares so much about the front-line soldiers, and there will be absolutely no problem with rewarding them at that time.

After seeing that the other battalions were launching an offensive to attract the attention of the Tartars, according to Ma Mingluan's instructions, the hundred general Sun Zhisheng led his own team to kill them, and each squad specially determined one person to throw grenades, ignite the earth-shattering thunder when they were close to the Tartars, and then threw them over like raindrops.

The Tartars, who were retreating in other directions, were caught off guard, and everyone retreated.

Seeing this, Sun Jiansheng pulled out his sword, shouted and rushed to kill the past, the army's morale was weak, how could the Tartars with low morale be the opponents of Sun Jiansheng and others, although a few soldiers resisted stubbornly, but it had no effect, and everyone scattered in all directions.

Sun Jiansheng led the soldiers and horses to quickly enter, and on the two small slopes with the soaked, sweaty Liwazi saw that the rescue finally came, and he was overjoyed, opened his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice.

Holding Liwazi's hand, Sun Jisheng waved his hand, and the man picked up ten loads of mung bean porridge and Kuding tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are too face-saving today, the prince heard that your division killed too fiercely, and it was too late to compensate for falling into the enemy formation, so he actually gave an order to the capital division, saying that as long as you can't drink porridge and tea, the prince will definitely not drink porridge and tea."

Look, isn't your company very face-saving today? ”

Liwazi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered each squadron to take turns to drink two large bowls of mung bean porridge and drink Kuding tea.

Hearing that the prince drank the best porridge for the front-line soldiers, and the best tea turned out to be like this, all the soldiers were emotional, some of them had tears on their faces, and they vowed to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and some even knelt down in the direction of the big fashion.

Seeing that Yang Xuan actually sent someone to send mung bean porridge and tea, Yue Le didn't think about it at first, but in less than half an hour, Yue Le felt the pressure, in order to send porridge and tea to his brothers who were caught in the enemy formation, each battalion launched a counterattack, killing and injuring a lot of Tartars.

After drinking mung bean porridge and bitter tea, the morale of the volunteers was even higher, and under the leadership of the captain and squadron leader, they fought into the enemy formation.

In this case, the Tartars could not resist, and they retreated and surrendered one after another, first the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion, and then those Han Army bannermen who were in a desperate situation.

Although he knew that Duoduo would lead the cavalry to counterattack, the Volunteers were too strong, and after the Green Battalion continued to surrender and be wiped out, the disparity in strength between the two sides was even greater, and there was no way for everyone to resist.

Yue Le gritted his teeth and persevered, seeing that the volunteers were approaching, and sometimes he even led his own soldiers to kill, so as to ensure that the Chinese army's tent was not captured, but even so, the army was still swaying in the wind and rain.
