Xu Nannan suddenly jumped out of the position, the soldiers of the Chu army were stunned, the military law team didn't know what was going on in the back, naturally no one stopped him, an officer raised a short-handled firearm and aimed it at Xu Nannan's back, his finger pressed on the trigger and hesitated, but in his ears he heard Gu Zongfu loudly order to prepare for battle, and hurriedly collected his mind and turned his head to look at the Qing army on the hillside.

After Xu Nannan jumped out of the position, Gu Zongfu only glanced at him and then retracted his gaze, an ordinary soldier leaving the battle is not a big deal at all, whether he plans to surrender to the Qing army, or is stupid to save those people, it is not worth Gu Zongfu, the supreme commander of the battlefield, to be distracted, and he found that many Chu officers and soldiers stared at Xu Nannan, and he was even a little angry.

"Aim!"

"Fire!"

Gu Zongfu is usually open-mouthed, and he doesn't look like a senior officer at all, but once he goes to the battlefield, he seems to be a different person, his heart is like an iron stone, his command is decisive, he has the style of a general, and he has a special prestige among the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion. The Qing army drove the people to attack the mountain, and after a short period of consideration, he determined that there was no foolproof way to rescue these people, so he did not hesitate to order the shooting.

The military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion have formed a conditioned reflex to the shooting order after many training and actual combat, and pulled the trigger together, but subconsciously avoided Xu Nannan's back.

In the sound of gunshots like popping beans, Xu Nannan crawled down the mountain with a rolling belt, and the lead bullets flew from behind, and the attention of the Qing army was also attracted by this suddenly crazy Chu soldier, and raised a bow and arrow to shoot at him, Xu Nannan was hit by two arrows in a row, reached out and pulled out the sword to serve the country, cut off the arrow shaft and continued to rush downward. In his eyes, there was only the small figure dragging the corner of his mother's clothes - "I want to save them!" ”

Under the volley of the Chu army's platoon guns, dozens of civilians who were walking in front were knocked down by the ground. The mother crouched on the ground, holding her little son in one hand. Holding the older son in one hand, he bowed his head and shivered like a hen guarding her chicks in a storm. Suddenly, she felt her eldest son's body shake as if it had been hit hard, and she couldn't help screaming, and pulled up his little face in shock and fear, seeing that he didn't seem to be injured and just breathed a sigh of relief, but felt her son's body soften, and the little hand finally let go of the mother's clothes.

"Ahh

She let out a terrible howl like a wounded beast and hugged her eldest son tightly. The youngest son in her arms was inadvertently thrown to the ground, and almost instantly, a flying rock bounced up on the hillside and smashed her sideways.

“#――”

Xu Nannan hissed and swooped forward, crushing the infant baby under him, blocking the falling gravel and the oncoming rain of arrows.

The people were wiped out by the Chu army, and the Eight Banners had no barrier. began to charge with all his might, and the footsteps passed by Xu Nannan's corpse, and no one looked at him more. Not far away, under the cover of the Han people. They had approached the position of the Chu army to the maximum, and what they had to do now was to rush up and fight the musketeers of the Ji'an battalion hand-to-hand.

Greet them. It's the shotgun fired by the Tiger Squat Cannon, it's a dense platoon of guns. It is the flying stone sassage wood that splits the head and covers the face, and it is the thundering and exploding General Lei. The dense explosion was filled with gunsmoke, the flames flashed, and the Eight Banners were knocked down in rows.

"Kill!"

"Rush forward!"

"Kill all the dogs!"

Seeing that victory was in sight, the fierce Eight Banners soldiers were unwilling to retreat, and without the officer's order, they gathered themselves into a few roughly units, avoided the firing range of the tiger squat cannons, and let out a fierce howl in unison, rushing towards the trench that had been filled in, and rushed to the chest wall that was riddled with bullets, full of arrows, and the smoke of gunpowder dispersed.

The trench of the Chu army is eight feet wide.

Although it is different peacefully, three or four steps in the run is enough to rush over, as long as it rushes under the chest wall, the Chu army's bird guns are not so good, and the Eight Banners know that the musketeers must be bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat at this distance, and the timid will even turn around and run away, and will not shoot with the bird guns anymore.

At this time, the smoke on the chest wall of the Chu army faded slightly, and little by little sparks were faintly visible, which was the fire of the burning rope, and hundreds of fires were connected into a straight line, illuminating the muzzles of the black holes.

"Crazy!"

The Eight Banners soldiers were stunned and wide-eyed, these Nanban were all crazy, and they even had to shoot the last shot.

"Crazy!"

After killing hundreds of Han compatriots with his own hands, Gu Zongfu was full of anger, and the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion hated the enemy, and they must shoot the last shot at the enemy, so that the soldiers of the Eight Banners could also taste the taste of bullets.

"Fire!"

Gu Zongfu's order and the sound of gunfire rang out at the same time, and thick white gunpowder smoke instantly rose up, enveloping the vicinity of the chest wall.

At such a close distance, the salvo of the Chu army could no longer be consistent, and the crackling gunfire sounded like several firecrackers at the same time, and several officers also joined in the fire with short-handled firearms.

Such a close distance is equivalent to shooting with a fire gun against the eyes of the Qing army, the lead bullet penetrates the back of the head of the Eight Banners, with blood, brains and broken bones spurted out together, and the Qing army that rushed to the front of the trench was instantly emptied, and the thick white smoke seemed to have some kind of mysterious magic, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were still shouting to kill just now were wrapped in it, and immediately became silent.

Immediately afterwards, there was another volley of guns, and the Ji'an battalion was in a hurry, and did not wait for the smoke to dissipate to re-aim, and fired in the general direction.

"Ahh Several of the most courageous Eight Banner soldiers were lucky enough to dodge the platoon guns and rushed into the smoke with tiger tooth knives, but their numbers were too small, and after a while, there was a scream, and the third platoon of guns of the Chu army fired again.

Under the banner of the Qing army, Zakana frowned and ordered Mingjin to retreat.

The hunters who begged for a living in the white mountains and black waters all knew that the injured beasts were the most dangerous, and the group of Nanban on the opposite side was obviously brute, so there was no need to fight with them. This is all a momentary blood and courage, which will not last long, and when their ferocity passes, their combat effectiveness will drop significantly, and it will be easy for the Qing army to attack the mountain again.

"Waiting for another quarter of an hour is enough, but for the sake of safety, you can wait for a little more incense, so that these Nanban can come back to their senses......" Zakana calculated carefully, thought very carefully, and waited for about twenty minutes, the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion were just in the exhaustion period after being excited, which was the most beneficial for the Qing army's attack. If they had waited longer, the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion would have regained their composure. Cause trouble for the Qing army.

It's only twenty minutes, and Zakana can afford to wait.

There is a mountain beam to the west. There were also artillery sounds and shouts of killing, which were Gurmahun's flank positions attacking the Chu army.

Gurmahun is also a Manchu clan of the Aixin Jueluo family, but he belongs to the Shuerhaqi lineage, and like Zakana and Tunqi, he is the son and nephew of Zilharang.

Zilharang has such a big influence in the Qing court, of course, it is inseparable from the support of these cronies and nephews.

Tun Qi is a general in charge of himself, and he is about the same weight as Tan Tai and He Luohui, but he has been very close to Dolgon in recent years, and the obscure Zilharang knows this. But he never expressed any dissatisfaction, and still trusted Tunqi as before.

Zakana is a backbone general, although he is not as famous as Tunqi, and no one in the Qing army dares to underestimate him.

As for Gurmahun, he is a rising star of the younger generation like Fu Lehe, and he is Zilharang's most trusted confidant...... Zilharang's own son is still underage, and Gurmahun's father Amin is dead, so this time he sent troops to Jiangnan, and Jilharang let his elite with the blue flag led by Gurmahun (Zilharang is the owner of the blue flag. The Eight Banners with the Blue Flag are his hardcore descendants).

Unlike the reckless Fu Lehe, Gurmahun is not so arrogant because his father is dead, and he is more cautious in his life. He also led his troops to fight conscientiously, and never failed to live up to the trust of Zilharang, and Zakana was also full of confidence in him...... The Chu army was almost unable to hold on. Under the attack of Zakana and Gurmahun, they will definitely be able to capture the May 13 Heights before dark. If the Chu army wants to run, let them run, as long as they enter the encirclement. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out by the Qing army, and there is no need to launch a strong attack at any cost.

What we need to consider now is what will happen after the capture of the May 13 Heights, which is just an appetizer, and whether we can conquer Wang Ding's main position in time is the key to victory...... In these two days of fighting, although the Qing army attacked the position of the Ji'an camp step by step, it seemed that it could occupy the May 13 Heights, but the courage and tenacity of the Chu army still left a deep impression on Zakana, in order to capture this small hill, the Qing army paid thousands of casualties before and after, delayed for five days, if the battle behind is so difficult to fight, whether it can complete the task assigned by Zierharang, there is really a question mark.

Thinking of this, Zakana beckoned to one of his staff members and ordered him to draw up a paperwork report in duplicate and send it to Zilharang and Holohui respectively. In order to ensure that the battle plan of encircling and sending reinforcements can be realized, he needs more troops to launch a multi-point attack on the Chu army, and He Luohui still has a reserve of several thousand men and horses, and now it is time to enter the battle......

On the position of the Chu army, the Ji'an battalion continued to organize a retreat, the main force and the wounded soldiers were transferred from the back mountain, Gu Zongfu led hundreds of soldiers to break the rear in person, they loaded and unloaded their armor lightly, leaving only one base ammunition, if the blocking was unfavorable, ready to break through at any time.

After several generals asked to replace Gu Zongfu, they were scolded by him, so they had to lead their troops to leave, but when they left, Gu Zongfu stopped one of the sentinels.

"That one named Xu Nannan is your soldier, right? Go, bring his body back, send it down and bury it. "The attitude of the Chu army in dealing with the corpses on the battlefield is different from inside and outside, if it is the corpse of the Qing army, it will be set on fire and incinerated in a centralized manner, and if it is the corpse of a soldier of the Chu army, it is necessary to find out the name as much as possible, and then bury it in the ground.

Burying the corpses would also prevent a plague epidemic, and it would take a little more effort to build a rudimentary grave for these martyrs...... When this battle is over, the families of the martyrs can come to collect the bones and send them back to their hometown ancestral graves for burial.

Taking advantage of the gap between the Qing army's attacks, several soldiers touched down the hillside and picked up Xu Nannan's body, but unexpectedly found that the baby under him was still alive, and quickly and carefully hugged it back.

"This child is crying and I don't know if I can feed it." The baby in swaddling clothes was obviously frightened, waving his little hands and babbling and crying a few times, but the sound was not much louder than the cat's meow, no wonder no one noticed it just now.

"Don't worry, this child has a big life, and if he doesn't die, there will be a blessing in the future, but it's a big deal that Lao Tzu raised him, and he will give me a pension in the future." Guilt and guilt turned into love, Gu Zongfu handed over the baby to an old soldier and withdrew from the back mountain together.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qing army launched another onslaught, the soldiers of the Ji'an battalion resisted bravely, smashed all the flying stones and general Lei, and then lit a fire, burned the tiger squat cannons and weapons that were too late to be transported, retreated to the top of the mountain under the cover of billowing smoke, and burrowed into the woods at the foot of the back mountain, and most of the officers and soldiers returned to Wang Ding's position safely that night.

Poor Kou Mo chased, it was just a group of defeated soldiers, Zakana had been on the battlefield for a long time, and knew that these defeated soldiers had lost their establishment, even if some people could escape back to the Chu army, they would not be able to recover their combat effectiveness in a short time, and they did not need to spend too much effort on them. According to Zilharang's step-by-step order, Zakana did not chase and attack Gu Zongfu, but fought very cautiously and steadily, first gaining a firm foothold on the May 13 Heights, in case the Chu army launched a night attack that night...... In the Battle of Ningzhen, the Qing army suffered similar losses many times, trying their best to capture a mountain during the day, but at night the Chu army went back and forth, and the back and forth battle was tug-of-war.

The fortifications left by the Chu army were all on the southern slope, and the northern slope had to be re-dug and built a wall, so Zakana simply set up a large camp at the foot of the mountain, preparing to continue to advance.

The battalion has just had a prototype, but Gurmahun sent someone to send an urgent report, the Chongyang battalion and Yangshuo soldiers of the Chu army suddenly sent troops, defeated a green battalion on the flank, and launched a fierce attack on the men and horses of Gurmahun headquarters, Gurmahun was attacked on both sides, and fought and retreated, and was approaching the May 13 Heights.

"X, how did this battle go?" Zakana endured and endured it again and again, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart and did not lash out on the spot.

Obviously, the Chu army had always had reservations at the beginning, and now it has finally shown its real skills, and it can launch a local counterattack when the troops are at a disadvantage, disrupting the deployment of the Qing army.

It seems that the battle plan will be readjusted again, according to the battle report sent by Gurmahun, in addition to the Chongyang battalion and Yangshuo soldiers, the banners of the Pingjiang battalion and the Changsha battalion of the Chu army also appeared on the battlefield, and the battle situation has become more complicated.

……

Zilharang's position in the Qing court is very embarrassing, so let's briefly introduce it.

When Nurhachi raised his army, except for his own son, the rest of his family was basically killed by the enemy, leaving only a younger brother named Shulhaqi, and the two brothers fought the world together, Shulhaqi was called the "Second Khan...... The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the power of Houjin is getting bigger and bigger, and a bloody plot of cannibalism between the two brothers is immediately staged, Nurhachi easily killed Shulhaqi, but in order to appease his subordinates, he is not bad to his two sons - Amin and Zilharang.

Amin later became one of the four great Baylors of the Manchu Dynasty, and Zilharang also became the auxiliary prince of the Shunzhi Dynasty, but please note that he was only an auxiliary king, and he was still a big step worse than the regent of Dorgon, and after Dolgon killed Hauge, he also removed the auxiliary king of Zilharang, first made him an idle prince for a few days, and then sent him out to fight - in history, Zierharang went south to fight Huguang, and in this book, he supported Nanzhili, and the time period was about the same.

All in all, Zilharang has been a man with his tail between his legs all his life, and he was only arrogant for a few years after Dolgon's death, but after Shunzhi became pro-government, he quickly kicked him away. (To be continued......)
