The defeat returned to Hanzhong City, the Qing army lost its troops, and the morale of the whole army was sluggish.

The barbarian Berenikan was so depressed that the whole person was almost paralyzed behind the desk, as if he had lost his mind.

If the Qing army was defeated in the Battle of Shunqing at the beginning of the year, it was because Haoge divided his troops, because Haoge underestimated the enemy, and because the Qing Dynasty fell into the battlefield carefully selected by Yang Lin.

Due to the dense hills and numerous rivers outside Shunqing City, the Tatar cavalry is conducive to fighting on the plains, but not conducive to fighting in the mountains, hills, rivers and tidal flats.

The Battle of Hanzhong was purely an encounter, the battlefield was located between plains, hills, rivers, and tidal flats, and both sides could play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses (the Qing army was dominated by cavalry, which was conducive to fighting on the plains and ordinary hills). The Volunteer Army is mainly infantry, which is conducive to fighting on tidal flats, rivers, and hills), and after the first battle, the Eight Banners athletes, who had been undefeated in field battles for 30 years, actually retreated to the city in defeat, and the morale of the Qing army was unimaginable.

In that year, Yang Hao, the squire of the Ming Army, led 100,000 Ming troops to march in four ways, and after the old Nunur Hachi found out the route of the Ming army from the mouth of the spies, he concentrated the superior forces to break through each one, so defeated the Ming army and won the battle of Salhu.

Due to the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Salhu, coupled with the continuous party strife in the imperial court, most of the soldiers in the army were led by scholars, and everyone did not analyze the cause of the defeat of the Ming army at all, and believed that the Qing army was invincible in the field.

Yuan Chonghuan abandoned the advantages of the Ming army's firearms (such as earth-shaking thunder, mountain-splitting artillery, and bird guns) and created a strange tactic of relying on artillery to defend the city, although the Qing army was slightly defeated on the local battlefield, but since then the Ming army has completely lost the courage to fight in the field.

The Ming army gave up the field battlefield, said that it would recover Liaodong in five years, and that it would quell the rebellion in Liaodong, but it was just releasing big balloons and blowing big bubbles.

And because the Ming army abandoned the field battlefield, the Qing army galloped across the battlefield and plundered deep into the pass many times, how could the harm be covered up by one or two boasted victories?

The simple men recruited by the volunteers from remote mountain villages, the morale of the whole army was high, and there were a large number of birds in the army, and the Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry in the face of the Tartar rush used the hollow phalanx to resist the enemy, and used the new tactics of the queue to shoot and kill the battle to win, just like the fragility of the Western knights in the face of the musket troops, the Tartar iron cavalry also exposed the most real side.

Now the volunteer army has approached the city of Hanzhong, the morale of the Qing army in the city is low, everyone is panicked, although everyone did not say it explicitly, but everyone means very clearly, the culprit of this battle is not Manchuria Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhentun Qita.

If it weren't for the fact that the enemy took the lead in attacking, he led 2,000 Manchurian Blue Banner Iron Cavalry to attack the 3rd Association of the Volunteers without infantry support, because of its recklessness and because the Volunteers had already taken precautions, so that everyone found that the Qing army was weak, and it also completely disrupted the battle plan behind.

Tun Qi Ta opened his mouth and was speechless, in the face of the third association that was guarded by a hollow phalanx, the Manchurian Blue Banner rushed into the formation to fight back and forth, once broke through three hollow phalanxes, and then only because the horse speed fell, coupled with the opponent's rout to the nearby phalanx, formed a more solid hollow phalanx, so that the side failed to break the opponent.

After the first battle, although there were more than 600 casualties in the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, everyone expected that the 3rd Association of the Brave Army would suffer more casualties.

But what's the use of saying that now? As Tunzita knew, it took a long time to train a good rider on the battlefield, but it was much easier to train an infantryman.

In addition to the defeat of Gushan Ezhen Haningge and the deputy general Hui Yingzhao and captured, 10,000 eight banners (2,005 Manchurian blue flags, 200 Manchurian red flags, 2,000 Mongolian eight banners, 1,05 Han army blue flags, and 2,000 Han army inlaid blue flags) were killed in 800 battles, 2,000 wounded, and nearly 30% of the troops were attributed in the first battle.

Of the 25,000 soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion, 1,000 were killed and 3,000 wounded.

In the face of everyone's criticism, Tun Qita sighed: "The old man has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has encountered this kind of formation in the past, so it is not unusual.

Everyone also saw that Qi Jiguang's car camp and Sun Chengzong's car camp were also arranged in this kind of formation during the battle, but their number often reached 3,000 people.

This time, when I saw the volunteers put up this kind of car formation, there were only three or five rows in front, and the number of people on the left and right sides was even smaller.

It is not difficult to defeat one or two hollow phalanxes on the battlefield, but if the opponent cooperates with seven and defeats one, the opponent will either re-form a new hollow phalanx or attach itself to the adjacent hollow phalanx. ”

Nikan glared at the other party fiercely and said, "Today's battle will ruin the prestige that Grandpa Tai Grandpa has accumulated with great difficulty thirty years ago, what is the use of doing it now?" ”

Tun Qita thought for a while and said, "Lord Belle, although the other party's hollow phalanx is powerful, we are not vegetarians in the Eight Banners.

My lord, as long as we send elite cavalry to cut off its grain route, then the other party will definitely retreat."

Send elite horsemen out of the city to cut off the grain road? Everyone was silent for a while, all the departments suffered heavy losses in today's battle, and sent elite soldiers to cut off the grain route, at least all departments needed to recover.

Now that the volunteers are approaching the city, the army is equipped with a large number of three-pound cannons and Franco machine guns, and it is not difficult to break through Hanzhong City.

Li Guoying, Gao Mingzhan, Wu Zhibao and other green battalion generals believed that they had suffered this fiasco, and the volunteers had already built fortifications at the West Gate, and if they did not retreat, they would be wiped out.

Nikan is in a dilemma, no matter what, he must defend until the overall situation of Duoduo and Wu Sangui arrives, otherwise the volunteers will confront the Qing army with the Han River as the boundary, and the drag will also drag the Qing army down.

Li Guoying, Gao Mingzhan, and Wu Zhibao have no choice, who makes the other party the master and the slave himself? I had to inspect the various city gates to appease the hearts of the Green Battalion soldiers.

After the volunteers set up camp five miles away from Hanzhong City, everyone was in a state of euphoria.

Shunqing City defeated Haoge's department, it was a carefully selected battlefield, relying on the city under the city to deploy, the left and right wings for the Jialing River Xijiang, covered by the naval army, so it was natural to defeat the other party.

But the Battle of Hanzhong was completely different, the Battle of Hanzhong was completely an encounter battle, the tenacity of the hollow phalanx, and the method of lining up to shoot to accept the baptism of the battlefield.

The casualties of all units were very large, especially the casualties of the 3rd Association of the Dragon Frame were more than half, and the 5th Regiment of Yang Bingyi was also more than 3 percent, but this time after all, the field battle was won.

After setting up camp, Yang Lin ordered Qian Bangqi to count the merits of various departments on the battlefield, and asked Yin Chengqi to organize a discussion on the battlefield gains and losses, while he rushed to the 3rd Association camp on horseback.

The morale of the whole association was extremely high, and after seeing the big fashion, one by one they actually lined up to complete the singing of "Man Jianghong" (in history, Li Dingguo's Western Army sang in unison after the victory over the Tartars)

Angry hair rushed to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest.

Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce.

Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.

Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing;

When the courtiers hate, when will they perish.

Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain.

Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.

To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.

As a traverser, of course, he knew that it was powerful, so he turned over and dismounted from a distance, and after singing with the soldiers, he walked to the front one by one and said to everyone.

From time to time, he patted the soldiers on the shoulder

Sometimes, when I saw some soldiers who were too seriously injured, they bent down and asked for a few more questions, and then asked to be sent to the field hospital immediately.

But what is gratifying is that these soldiers shook their heads one by one, and some even said: "My lord, I heard that there are many injuries in the field hospital, and I am nothing at all, I am not missing an arm or a lame leg or anything, as long as I bandage it well, there is no problem." ”

After feeling something rolling in his eyes and stabilizing his emotions, Yang Lin came to the front desk and said to everyone: "Brothers, although I started with local group training, everyone comes from all over the world, and everyone has taken a detour in the past.

But today you have used your flesh and blood to block the Tartar cavalry on the battlefield, and if it had not been for your stubborn resistance, we would not have been able to defeat the Tartar cavalry.

You are all heroes, you are all heroes, whether it is the soldiers of the past volunteers, or the local militias, not to mention the remnants of Onishi.

You deserve the title of heroes, you are all heroes. ”

Although everyone was quite excited, everyone still seemed very shy, and many people said that the big man was a real hero and a hero.

After stabilizing his mood, Yang Lin asked: "Everyone, the volunteers can win consecutive battles, in addition to honor, the honor of soldiers, there are clear rewards and punishments.

You have made great contributions in this battle, and Liu Jinfu, the co-commander of the dragon frame, and the standard commander Liu Jinfu will give you the honor you deserve.

However, this battle was the first time we defeated the Manchu Tartars in a field battle after the Battle of Sarhu 30 years ago, and everyone has made great contributions. “

A man in his twenties stood up and said, "My lord, although the state affairs are difficult, we have done a very good job in the Volunteer Army.

Everyone is paid a full monthly salary, and a lot of rewards on the battlefield are handed over to us.

Now that everyone is a soldier, their parents can stand up and be a man in their hometown, and every year not only does they exempt one person in the family from paying a fee, but everyone is content.

Even if they were wounded on the battlefield, the adults did not forget everyone, and sent people to train and educate everyone, so that everyone could seek fame and fame in society, instead of being looked down upon as usual.

In the past, being a soldier was a despised and unmanageable job, but it was an honor to be a soldier under an adult. ”

When everyone heard this, they also shouted: "Glory, my lord, we all feel honored." ”

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Brothers, I have received everyone's wishes."

In ancient times, there were two kinds of scholars in China, one was the scribe we see now, and the other was all of you, the samurai.

If a country only values the samurai and does not pay attention to the scribes, it is a reckless force.

If a country only values the scribes and does not pay attention to the samurai, it is destroying the Great Wall and committing a crime against the people.

Brothers, I, Yang Lin, just did what I should do, brothers can block the Tartar attack this time, all I want to say is two words, relieve your anger. ”

Everyone exhaled in relief, and another soldier smiled and said, "My lord, the volunteers are all good, but this is not good."

You can't drink after a big victory, if the adults can let everyone drink two sips, the brothers will really be relieved. ”

Yang Lin's face froze, and he suddenly smiled: "Everyone, due to the food shortage, alcohol was forbidden in the army a few months ago.

Although the food shortage has eased now, everyone knows that drinking is wrong, and now the Tartars are in the city, and it is far from time to celebrate.

Everyone knows that transporting grain for thousands of miles is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and we take a sip of wine here, and we don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent on the road.

But this brother also mentioned it very reasonably, Deputy General Long, General Liu, and the brothers who were not injured will fight their teeth tonight, and everyone can eat meat.

These wounded brothers were so rare that they gathered together, and each of these wounded brothers was given a liquor or two as a reward. ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded.
