Chapter 120: Bloody Nature and Survival

There is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War, ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it. It means that ten times the strength can surround the enemy and annihilate it completely, and there is no need to engage in complex tactics such as encircling three and one, and when five times the strength is used, you can directly attack without worrying about excessive casualties, in other words, five times the strength advantage can make up for the disadvantage of the terrain, even if you launch a strong attack on a strong fortress, the battle loss ratio of the two sides will be roughly the same.

Of course, the weapons and equipment, training level, tactical command, etc. of the two belligerents are also important factors affecting the proportion of casualties, and the premise of Sun Tzu's discussion in the Art of War is to assume that these factors are basically equal, if one side is a tank machine gun, and the other side is a broadsword and spear, then only one-sided slaughter remains, and there is no need to consider the battle loss ratio.

The Chu army did not have tank machine guns.

However, Fu Lehe charged and filled the trench with unarmed auxiliaries and long-term soldiers, which also caused a one-sided massacre, and in less than half an hour in front of a small nameless high ground, the Qing army's casualties were close to 3,000, which can be called the most tragic battle since the outbreak of the Battle of Ningzhen.

Fletch was indifferent.

His 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers are still intact, and the dead are all Han Chinese, most of them are still auxiliary soldiers who can be captured casually, what does it matter if they die twice as much? Of course, it is not easy to catch Ding in the mountainous area of Ningzhen, if the auxiliary soldiers die too much, it will be a troublesome matter to carry the baggage in the future, but there are still many green battalion soldiers who come with the army, and it will not be the turn of the Eight Banners Taijun to sell coolies.

Although Fu Lehe was young, he was a conservative Manchu aristocrat at heart, extremely hostile to the Han Chinese, and very dissatisfied with the increasingly strict Sinicization trend within the Manchu Dynasty. In his opinion. The Manchus were the wolves of the steppes and the tigers of the mountains and forests. After entering the fancy world of Beijing, he was attracted by the strange skills and extravagant life of the Han people. As a result, the Eight Banners quickly became corrupt and degenerate, and the Manchu court promoted a large number of Han officials, recruiting hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers, most of whom were useless waste, wasting the court's salaries and salaries in vain.

For example, Zhang Guozhu, this guy, it took so long to fill that damn trench, if there is still no progress after half an hour, Fu Lehe will not be able to spare this useless dog minion even if he is scolded by Zilharang.

Zhang Guozhu seemed to hear his resentment. The offensive became more and more ferocious.

The range of the green battalion soldiers' bird guns is not enough, but the bow and arrow are the most threatening weapons, and the well-made foot bow can shoot lightly to fifty paces away, which is not inferior to the new bird gun of the Chu army, and it can also use projectiles to further increase the range and shoot the Chu soldiers hidden behind the breastwork...... The bow and arrow are greatly reduced in power after being projectile, and they will definitely not be able to break through the armor at a distance of fifty paces, but they will still kill people if they hit the throat of the face, plus the bow and arrow have a faster rate of fire. It played a certain role in harassing the Chu army. Zhang Guozhu saw that there was an opportunity, and sent 400 archers, mixed with the auxiliary commanders and the chest wall to shoot, and the Chu army began to suffer casualties.

But the Qing army suffered more casualties.

The Qing archers were scattered in formation. Unable to inflict the covering effect of a salvo, they can only use the terrain and the corpses of their companions as cover while firing arrows. The Chu army had a breastwork to hide, condescending to fire each salvo. will take down a charging enemy...... In addition to the flintlock pistol, other weapons of the Chu army also showed their might. The Qing army's charging formation was so dense that it was almost impossible to hit the enemy without aiming, and flying stones and sassalwood were not smashed down like money.

On the hillside, in front of the trench, there were more and more corpses of the Qing army, layer upon layer, gradually building a bunker made of flesh and blood corpses, the Qing archers and musketeers hid behind to shoot, and more auxiliary soldiers continued to charge forward, and built a flesh bunker in front again.

Taking people and filling them with their lives, Fu Lehe's tactics were rough and direct, and some Qing army auxiliaries began to rush to the front of the trench and threw sacks into it one after another, and some of the most fierce Qing soldiers charged with them, standing at a distance of twenty or thirty steps in front of the breastwork and shooting at the Chu army.

The tiger squat cannon of the Chu army opened fire again, and General Lei also threw it out like a hailstone, each General Lei was as big as a small watermelon, and even the strongest soldiers could not throw it too far by manpower alone, so they did not use it much, and when the Qing army rushed to the trench, General Lei had a place to use. Amid the rumbling of guns and explosions, the front twenty paces of the trench were shrouded in thick gunsmoke, and only when the fire flickered, could a faint figure be seen.

"Tragic! Tragic! ”

Zhang Dayou looked at Zhang Guozhu, who was personally directing the battle on the hillside, with a complicated expression.

The Green Battalion was able to launch such a heroic attack on the mountains and rivers, and although Zhang Dayou was a "noble" Han army banner, he also gave birth to a bit of praise and respect. If he and Zhang Guozhu were really reversed, the Han army banner, which was also rapidly corrupting, would have collapsed long ago, and the appearance of Xiàn was definitely not as good as the green battalion soldiers, fortunately, his subordinates were artillerymen, and they were not afraid of dog bites on tigers, so they could stand here and watch the battle easily.

"In the final analysis, people are cheap bones, and they don't need to be forced to die without a knife. If the Ming army could be so brave back then, how could the Ming Dynasty lose the country? ”

On the slope of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Guozhu's personal soldiers formed a supervision team, everyone cut people softly, and changed and changed after the blade of the steel knife was curled. As the Qing army attacked the trenches, the battle became more and more tragic, the number of soldiers who had a mental breakdown and passively avoided the battle multiplied, and the supervising team was killed one by one, and the Qing army had a total of less than 4,000 casualties, and one-third of them were killed by the supervising team themselves, Zhang Guozhu even had an urge to break the jar, and he was not merciful to the green battalion soldiers under his command.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Fu Lehe's mouth.

"The Han people are really pigs and dogs, and they don't know how to resist when they are killed by their own people, this kind of bloodless pigs and dogs are not qualified to live in the world, and the uncle (Dolgon) is still too merciful, he should kill all the five Han people like the Mongols, and then naturally ......the world is peaceful."

At this time, there was a great chaos on the hillside, under the fierce blow of the Chu army, the Qing army collapsed again, thousands of auxiliaries, long-husbands and green battalion soldiers turned around and fled down the mountain together, Zhang Guozhu's supervision team killed dozens of people, but could not stop the surging flow of people, and was coerced to retreat down the hillside together.

After collecting the rout, Zhang Guozhu, who was covered in blood, immediately came to Fu Lehe. Take off your helmet and kneel on the ground: "The last general, the last general is a capital crime." ”

"Hmm."

Fleuch snorted inaudibly from his nose. Urging the mount to trot past him and come to the command position in front of the mountain. Mobilize the Eight Banners to prepare for the attack on the mountain.

After he walked away, Zhang Guozhu raised his head uneasily, looked at Fu Lehe's back, and his face was at a loss.

"Come on, Grandpa Guo has spared you, you have lost so badly, it's rare to wait for Grandpa Guo to praise you?" Zhang Dayou hooked his finger at him, and then pointed to the hillside: "Although you lost, you also tried your best." That trench has also been filled, and the grandfather of the country has clear rewards and punishments, of course he will not embarrass you again. The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners are about to attack the mountain, why don't you hurry up and dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to serve the grandfather of the country?! ”

"Thank you Meler Zhangjing for your advice, the last general is grateful!"

Zhang Guozhu immediately came to his senses, jumped up and ran in front of Fu Lehe, and knelt down again: "The last general is willing to personally lead five hundred elite soldiers of the Green Battalion to drive the Eight Banners and capture this mountain to atone for his sins." Please also ask for the grace of Grandpa Guo! ”

Fu Lehe's eyes were still staring at the mountain: "That's it, the national prince wants to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, and you are not needed, just shout and cheer in the back......"

Fleur really doesn't look down on him. The green battalion soldier is a dog, and it is okay to help chase the rabbit, and he must stand aside at the critical moment of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger. If these burdens collapse again during the attack on the mountain, they will disrupt the formation of the Eight Banners......

On the top of the mountain. The soldiers of the Chu army seized the gap between the battles and repaired the fortifications. Rescue the wounded and clean up the corpses of the Qing troops in front of the position as much as possible to clear the shooting line.

The Eight Banners had already prepared, and as soon as the Green Battalion soldiers retreated, they entered the battle position and had already climbed up the foot of the mountain. Xu Nannan poured the last jar of fire oil on the corpse of the Qing army, threw out the torch with his hand, turned around and ran towards the breastwork, and on the hillside behind him, the raging fire formed a wall of fire, temporarily blocking the footsteps of the Qing army.

"Old Gu, how is it, can you withstand it? Do you want to organize a retreat? Wang Ding and Wang Yi hurried from another position and brought a team of reinforcements.

"It's not a big problem, I can go on for a while. Ding Li fought for a long time, watching and killing a lot of Tartars, in fact, there is no real Tartar, but it's not fun! Gu Zongfu stared at Fu Lehe at the bottom of the mountain, his eyes were like an old cat looking at salted fish, with a salivating look, and suddenly he came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Wang Ding: "If you really want me to withdraw, why are you sending ammunition up?" You reading talents are all fake, and none of them are good! ”

"You can scold Wang Junmen in, you want to find death!"

Wang Ding and Gu Zongfu have been partners for several years, born and died together, getting along day and night, and their temperament and way of speaking inevitably affect each other, especially Wang Ding's biggest change. After several years of baptism of blood and fire, he has become a loud-voiced, short-tempered general, and no one can associate him with the old-fashioned scholar just by looking at his appearance.

……

A few words about this chapter.

Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Meng Yuan was more ferocious and tougher towards the Han people, in addition to the bloody massacre, but also implemented a very cruel policy of national oppression, and even some ministers proposed to kill all the Han people surnamed Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao, but in the end it was not implemented.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty accepted the lessons of Meng Yuan and knew that it was impossible to sit in the world by violent slaughter alone, so they began to accept Han culture from the Huang Taiji period, reused Han officials, constantly strengthened imperial power, and set up the Eight Banner nobles, and some of the Eight Banner nobles whose power was infringed on were very dissatisfied with this...... For example, Azig turned out to be the owner of the white flag, but Dolgon adjusted the white flag and the white flag, and led the white flag alone, with Duoduo as the owner of the white flag.

In short, the interior of the Dorgon group is not monolithic, and Dorgon has to rely on the two right-hand men of Dordor and Azig, and at the same time guard against and suppress them. After killing Hauge, there was no political opponent who could threaten Dorgon's position, and the biggest unstable factor came from within, and Dordor suddenly hung up, and Azig, a political idiot, immediately jumped out to take over as Dorgon's auxiliary prince and white-flaged bannerman, but was knocked back by Dolgon's head with a stick, and almost removed his lordship.
