Chapter 234: Keep up the good work

The Manchu Qing Dynasty drove straight into beheading Zhang Xianzhong, at least from the current point of view, the record is quite rich, far beyond everyone's imagination.

Now that the Qing army is pouring into Si (Sichuan) like a tide, and now there are very few troops on the front line in Xichong, Haoge needs to stay in Jinpuyi to coordinate the various departments.

But the Green Battalion had just been defeated by the Volunteers, how could Hauge swallow this bad breath, and in retaliation for the Volunteers, Belenikan led a Armor Manchurian Blue Banner and more than 10,000 Green Battalion soldiers as the vanguard, and slaughtered to the south.

Bai Yongfu, the chief soldier of the green battalion, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to walk in the front, since entering the customs, the Manchu Eight Banners have no service, and the casualties of each department are very large, in order to preserve strength, often let these surrendered traitor troops play the role of cannon fodder.

It only took half a day's effort, Bai Yongfu led his troops to Dujiamiao, that is, the place where the green camp was ambushed by the volunteers last time.

Dujia Temple is about more than 100 meters high, the west is the Xijiang River, the ship can reach the Jialing River downstream, the east is the post road that the west is filled to the city of Shunqing, and there is a mountain gate in the north and south.

The terrain in front of Dujia Temple is relatively flat, but the mountain road is winding, there is more than a mile of flat land on the mountain, and there are more than 30 families living in the past.

There is a frequent fork in the road from the post road to the Dujia Temple, the road is tortuous, and on both sides is a person-high barren grass and sparse branches.

Although the Four (Sichuan) Plain is known as the land of abundance, it mainly refers to the vicinity of the CD) Plain, and there are many hills in other places, such as Dujiamiao, and there are many cottages with difficult terrain.

Bai Yongfu shook his head, no wonder the more than a thousand green battalion soldiers were ambushed last time, although there was silence on the mountain, but in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, he still called a general commander to lead the soldiers and horses to explore the road in front.

After hearing the joy in his heart, he was a lot more majestic after following the new master of Manqing, many states and counties were invincible, and it seemed that the volunteers had withdrawn, and he couldn't imagine that such a great opportunity would fall on him.

Bai Yongfu held his breath and stared at the gate of the village on the mountain, watching the soldiers and horses rush up with a shout, suddenly stopped at the gate of the wall, and saw the shouting and killing sound of the gate from a distance, first a row of gunshots, and then the sound of earth-shattering thunder explosions.

Bai Yongfu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, the gate of the village opened, and hundreds of people were killed from the cottage, and it only took a moment to drive this group of green camps down the mountain.

Looking at the frustrated crowd, Bai Yongfu was overjoyed in his heart, although he had suffered a lot of damage, he finally found out the truth and reality, and now he can rest assured that he can boldly attack the Zhaimen.

Bai Yongfu waved his hand, and a thousand generals led nearly a thousand men and horses to approach the cottage, some people used shields in front to block the rocks and arrows, and more people shot arrows in the back.

Due to the large number of people invested, the front of the ladder with a sharp blade constantly rushed to the gate of the village to attack the mountain, the back or a long shot, or to the gate of the wall continue to let go, for a while the arrows are like rain, although the volunteers on the gate occasionally throw stones, put arrows and guns to fight back, but are completely suppressed by the green battalion soldiers and horses under the mountain.

Seeing that the forward soldiers and horses were about to climb the mountain, suddenly 4 or 5 tiger squat cannons were launched on the cottage and fired at the soldiers and horses of the green battalion who were attacking the mountain.

Condescendingly, coupled with the fact that the scattered shells landed in the back of the projectile, each shell landed and injured a large area.

The green battalion soldiers will be shocked, everyone has been fighting for a long time, but they never expected that the other party would reserve such a big killing weapon, Bai Yongfu also shouted loudly, and ordered the soldiers to push the No. 3 Franc cannon, pushing the tiger squat cannon to fight back, but in this era, the artillery is very slow to fire, and it is extremely difficult to aim, so it can't solve the problem at all.

In the end, Bai Yongfu sent more than 200 crossbowmen with strong bows to shoot from a distance to support the attacking soldiers.

The bow and crossbow generally have two ways of long-range shooting and close-range shooting, long-range shooting does not need to be aimed, and the arrows used are also lighter, showing a 45-degree angle towards the shooting direction and pulling the bowstring to shoot arrows, and the crossbow is shot into the air and then gradually falls under the action of gravity to kill distant targets.

Zhang Zhaozhong once researched that the maximum firing distance of the bow and crossbow can reach 150 meters (the British longbow can reach 180 meters), like the rain scattering flowers, the landing point is extremely inaccurate, its main role is to support the front-line infantry, but the lethality of the soft arrow is quite small.

In the past, although Yao Huang and Liukou also had some good marksmanship, there were too few people who could handle strong bows, and they rarely encountered such a combat method.

Now the Volunteer Army is facing the Manchu Qing Green Battalion soldiers and horses, most of its soldiers are the Ming Army's strong brigades, and there are many good archers in each army.

However, the Green Battalion attacked from the bottom up, which also greatly limited the effect of long-range shooting, although so, it still caused too much trouble for the volunteers.

The two sides fought back and forth for an hour, and when they saw that the green battalion soldiers were about to attack the mountain gate, suddenly the groves on the ridges on both sides actually killed hundreds of people.

They suddenly rushed down the corn-breaking slope, and they were agile, and they didn't worry about falling or anything on such a rough path.

When the two sides were fifty or sixty paces apart, some of them stopped, and under the command of one general after another, they fired a platoon of guns at the crossbowmen of the green battalion behind them.

The sound of gunfire was constant, and some others rushed into the formation, first more than a dozen people kept throwing the earth-shaking thunder, and more rushed into the formation in the aftermath of the explosion of the earth-shaking thunder to attack the unsuspecting crossbowmen and musketeers.

Unlike the Volunteers, the Green Battalion's crossbowmen and bird-gunners do not have much defense and need infantry protection on the battlefield.

Suddenly attacked, the crossbowmen behind were shaken, and some began to retreat, but it was already too late, hundreds of killer soldiers would rush into the crossbow formation, and the tall and strong wolf-backed wolf-wrenched hands held up two-and-a-half-foot wolf whirls and continued to stab and provoke.

The wolf is like a spear in the West, about two feet and eight feet long, and the head is all blades more than a foot wide, and it may be scratched if you are not careful.

The soldiers in the back pounced like tigers into the flock of sheep and attacked the many crossbowmen who threw away their bows and crossbows in a panic and drew their short knives behind them to fight back.

In the era of cold weapons, there were many practitioners in various places, and since everyone entered the barracks, in addition to receiving queue discipline training and strict combat training, they have practiced bowing for two months.

Today's squatting is not like the ancient way of separating the two sides like volleyball, but like Western rugby, the hands and feet are used to play together, and everyone has fun on the field at the same time, but also exercises everyone's ability to cooperate and coordinate.

After two months of kickball training, the various departments have long been familiar with various offensive routines, and in the attack, it can be said that there is defense and offense, and the combination of offense and defense is far from being comparable to other soldiers and horses.

The crossbowmen were mostly equipped with short knives and crossbows, and their defensive capabilities were already very weak, and they suddenly saw more than a hundred soldiers on their sides, and they had already scattered one by one, although some tried their best to resist and hope to wait for reinforcements, but most of them were crushed at the touch of a button, and they did not dare to fight at all.

Seeing that the back road was broken, the Qing soldiers and horses in front were even more defeated, not to mention the soldiers who were killed and wounded, but because of the rugged road, there were not a few who fell to death and were injured.

In the panic, Bai Yongfu led his troops to respond, but the responding soldiers and horses were still tired by the rout, and they were constantly defeated by the volunteers, until finally Nikan led the main force to kill and gradually retreated.

Looking at the corpses thrown out of the mountain, Nikan raised his horsewhip and whipped Bai Yongfu, scolding: "You idiot, what is the reason for causing our army to be defeated and destroying my family's military prestige? ”

Bai Yongfu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his head pounded like garlic and said: "Baylor, it's not that the last general doesn't work hard to attack the cottage, the other party is too weird, such a small cottage actually lurks with such soldiers and horses, and there are ambushes in the woods on both sides.

On the battlefield, the combat methods of the volunteers are too strange, with the killer team in front and the musket team in the back, one by one on such a rugged mountain road.

The last general said frankly that even the soldiers and horses of Guanning would be difficult to do, but today the volunteers actually did it. ””

Hearing Bai Yongfu say this, Nikan was even more annoyed, raised a whip and scolded while beating: "Bastard, what if Yang Lin is really Zhuge Liang alive?"

You have 5,000 soldiers and horses, even 5,000 pigs will bow down this mountain, let alone 5,000 people?

Ben will give you a day's work, if you can't capture the Dujia Temple, come and see you. “

In addition to lamenting that the Manchurian master was difficult to serve, Bai Yongfu had to lead his troops and horses to approach the Dujiamiao cottage.

Yang Yongtai, the overseer, put down the binoculars and said, "General, my lord is really clever.

The last time he set up an ambush, he annihilated more than a thousand green battalion soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, making him tremble and frightened.

In order to retaliate, this time the green battalion soldiers and horses changed direction and did not outflank the cottage from the official road, but led the troops to attack the mountain gate directly.

But they just fell into our trap, and we laid ambushes on both sides, allowing the green battalion soldiers and horses to attack, and suddenly killed them in the middle of the battle, which caught them by surprise and returned defeated. ”

Wiping the beads of sweat from his face, Jing Keqin smiled and said: "These traitors and bastards who play yin wait for our opponents from time to time, even if we fight head-on, we will not lose to each other."

If it weren't for the fear of the hundreds of Manchurian Tatar cavalry, if you weren't worried about the other party's ambush, Lao Tzu would definitely be able to defeat the more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers and horses today.

In this way, it seems that the soldiers and horses of the green battalion are nothing more than that, except for Haoge leading the army to suppress the territory, we can completely defend this Dujia Temple. ”

When Yang Yongtai heard the repeated admonitions, the adults often said that the arrogant army would be defeated, and our army had not yet fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Manchurian Tartars, so we must not be so light on the enemy.

Jing Keqin didn't think so, he condescended to occupy a geographical advantage, and there were friendly troops around him to support him, so he didn't have to worry about the green battalion soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
