Chapter 24 The Qing Army Advances Eastward

Hushi Town, thousands of kilometers away from the southwest of Qilin Village, is located on a riverside plain, with a height of 3 meters, covering an area of about 10 square kilometers and a population of more than 20,000. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Hushi Town is the forward outpost of the entire Great Western Army, and only more than 60 kilometers southeast of Hushi Town is where Luzhou City, the headquarters of the Great Western Army established by Zhang Xianzhong, is located.

At this time, the shouting and killing in Hushi Town has ended, and a large number of corpses have been piled up under the city wall of Hushi Town, which has just experienced a fierce battle, the city wall is full of ruins and broken walls, the river water in the moat has long been dyed bright red, and thousands of soldiers are cleaning the battlefield on the entire battlefield.

On the flat ground a few miles outside the town of Hushi, in front of a huge tent, groups of cavalry were quietly lined up.

The soldiers were all dressed in blue leather armor, all of them were high-quality steppe horses under their crotches, and they had long braids behind them, and the whole team totaled about 6,000 people.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"General, Hushi Town has been taken by our army, and the city has been cleaned up, please lead the army into the city."

A Han general in armor rode a war horse to the front of the military formation, dismounted and bowed to a general in front of the formation.

This bearded general is dressed in dark blue armor, with a strong body, a mountain-opening knife at his waist, and his whole body is awe-inspiring.

Guerjia Aobai was a powerful minister in the early Qing Dynasty, born in the Guarjia clan, the grandson of Suwan tribe patriarch Suoerguo, and the nephew of Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty. Knighthood for his exploits. In the first half of his life, he made great military achievements and was known as the "No. 1 Warrior of Manchuria", while in the second half of his life, he held power and formed a party for personal gain. With the support of Huang Xigon, Wang Hongzuo and other ministers, Kangxi ruled the court, and then made a plan to capture and worship in Wuying Palace. After being captured alive, Ao Bai died in prison, and he was an important figure in influencing the political situation in the early Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Ao Bai was not nearly 30 years old, and he was Gushan Ezhen under the command of Prince Su Aijue Luo Haoge, and entered Sichuan with the army to conquer Zhang Xianzhong, and commanded 20 Niu Lu, a total of 6000ZLQ elite soldiers.

At the beginning of entering Sichuan, the entire army of Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime came to this world together, and many forces such as the ancient Shu Kingdom, Shu Han, former Shu, Later Shu, and Qin suddenly appeared around.

In the face of the countless Han forces that suddenly appeared in the surrounding area, with the heroic and good fighting of the Jurchen Eight Banner soldiers, under the leadership of Prince Su Haoge, they defeated the ancient Shu Kingdom, Shu Han and other forces many times, resisted the expansion of thousands of miles, and occupied the vast area of millions of square kilometers in the southwest of Shu.

After the situation gradually stabilized, Haoge, who successfully found out Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts, immediately sent Ao Baidong to come to investigate.

This time, Ao Bai led a total of 50,000 troops to attack Dazhang Xianzhong, the ZLQ soldiers of Yigushan under his command, and 44,000 Han slave troops.

The Manchu Eight Banners are 1 cow record for every 300 people, and the cattle record is really 1 person; 5 Ox Lu is 1 Jiala, and 1 Jiala is really 1 person; 5 Jiala is 1 solid mountain, set up 1 solid mountain Ezhen, 1 solid mountain full of 7,500 soldiers.

The slave army was due to the shortage of manpower in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the slave army formed by people of other ethnic groups was drawn from the Han people.

These slave armies were like locusts, poorly equipped, and took the lead in every battle, and had already lost their mindset in the perennial war.

When facing the Jurchens, they were timid and cowardly, but when they faced their Han compatriots, they became bloodthirsty and murderous, burning, killing and looting, and their combat power was not weak.

In this attack on Hushi Town, only the slave army fought, and the ZLQ soldiers under the command of Ao Bai did not move a single bit.

There were originally 3,000 soldiers of the Western Army in Hushi Town, but they were some recruits who had never experienced war, and they only lasted half a day in front of the crazy slave army before breaking the city.

However, due to their poor equipment, these Han slaves also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 2,000 casualties in this battle.

"Into town! Tomorrow we will rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow the whole army will march eastward! ā€

Aobai's gaze swept indifferently over the Han general, and then gave an order.

In the eyes of many Manchu soldiers, these slave soldiers were just lowly slaves in their eyes, even if they lost a lot of money, they did not feel distressed, and it was a big deal to plunder some young and strong slave troops after the end of the war.

"Whoa!"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Immediately, 6,000 ZLQ Jurchen soldiers entered the city in an orderly manner under the leadership of Aobai.

"Hum~"

"Hum~"

A few days later, a herd of wild buffalo was enjoying a meal on the meadow by the lake.

This meadow is located 10 kilometers west of Qilin Village, the lake called Chengshui Lake, adjacent to Houbao Village, and there is a small lake of tens of thousands of square meters in the middle of the grassland.

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

怂怂怂怂怂怂

While these buffaloes were leisurely eating, several people suddenly appeared on the grass not far away, shouting and dancing their weapons and running towards these buffaloes.

The frightened buffaloes galloped wildly, and as they continued to gallop along the way, some strong men with the same weapons appeared on the road, and they rode fine Jianchang horses under their crotches, and chased the buffaloes to the col at the edge of the marsh.

"Haha, okay, there are at least 300 buffaloes here!"

After driving all these wild buffaloes to the mountain pass, Sima Yu, who came to the mountain pass surrounded by everyone, looked at the many wild buffaloes that were already running out of breath inside and said with joy.

More than ten days ago, the people in the scout camp under Ah Hui's command had already detected the movement of wild buffalo in this meadow.

There are more than 300 wild buffaloes in total, and if they can all be domesticated, Qilin Village will be able to obtain a large number of cultivated cattle at once.

Moreover, after having this batch of buffalo, Qilin Village can also breed buffalo by itself, which is definitely a big boost to Qilin Village's agriculture.

After careful investigation and careful preparation, with dozens of villagers who are proficient in domesticating cattle and horses, Sima Yu finally launched his arrest operation today.

It seemed that things were going well, and none of the more than 300 buffaloes were left behind, and all of them were driven into the col.

After such a long run, the physical strength of these wild buffaloes has been exhausted, and they only need to wait for these villagers to trap them all with the ropes in their hands before they can be dragged back to Qilin Village.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Just when Sima Yu and the others were overjoyed, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the top of a small hill not far from the mountain col, and a scout battalion soldier in leather armor was galloping on a Jianchang horse.

"Report, lord! There are 500 white pole soldiers coming here, less than 1 mile from here."

The scout came to Sima Yu and quickly turned over and dismounted to report.

Unexpectedly, it still alarmed this neighbor!

At this time, the more than 300 wild buffaloes behind him were already turtles in the urn, but they could not be captured in a short time.

"White pole soldiers! Prepare for battle! ā€

Sima Yu's face suddenly froze when he heard this, and he immediately ordered.

Fortunately, on this trip, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he also specially brought two battalions of soldiers under the command of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao and the vulture bones, with these two battalions of elite soldiers, plus the courage of the vulture bones, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao, he is not afraid of this white pole soldier.
