Chapter 42: Confession!
Coincidentally, the Ming army and the Qing army stopped fighting, and everyone's eyes converged on the section of wooden fence in front of the Qianzi Thunder Cannon.
Didn't fall.
The wooden fence didn't fall, it was covered with iron sand, and it had been blackened by the fireworks, but it just didn't fall!
The wooden fence was very sturdy, each stake the size of an adult's arm, made of hard, sturdy iron-shirted wood, with the lower end buried three feet into the ground, and two beams joined together between the left and right...... But the most important thing is that it was not a cannonball that hit it, but a large piece of iron sand scatter, most of which flew through the gaps between the fences.
The muzzle of the Qianzi Thunder Cannon hung down, and several gunners hurriedly cleaned the chamber, reloaded and reloaded, and prepared for the next shot. The soldiers of the Gongyi battalion rushed up again, stretched out their spears over the fence and kept stabbing them, and several white-armored soldiers were swept by the iron sand of the Qianzi Thunder Cannon, and they were seriously injured and unable to fight back, and they were nailed to the ground by the spears.
"Bang!"
On the other side of the camp wall, another Qianzi thunder cannon opened fire.
The two Qianzi thunder cannons fired repeatedly, alternately covering the spear array of the Gongyi battalion, plus dozens of guns continuously firing a row of guns, building a death barrier in front of the wooden fence. When the corpses of the Eight Banners were stacked higher and higher, and they kept falling from the battlements to the camp wall, the retreating gong finally sounded after the Qing army.
Bolhui confessed!
The invincible Eight Banners in the world admit it!
Mingjin retreated, the green battalion soldiers under the camp wall turned around and ran, and the eight banner soldiers on the camp wall jumped down with the wall battlements, they dared to fight with any enemy, but they could only be beaten, could not fight back, could only be slaughtered by the enemy at will, but could not hurt half a hair of the other party. This kind of situation, which has never been encountered before, finally completely wears out their fighting spirit.
After three days and two nights of fierce fighting, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, counting all the lightly wounded, and less than 2,000 people in combat effectiveness. However, most of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners still existed, and there was no problem in self-protection for the time being, so Bolhui gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, sent two hundred cavalry to monitor the Ming army, and then carried the wounded and corpses back to the camp, like a seriously wounded beast. I went back to the nest to lick my wounds.
In the evening, smoke rose from behind the Qing army camp, and the choking stench filled the entire valley, which was the Eight Banners soldiers incinerating the bodies of their fallen comrades, and the cremated ashes were put into the altar. Bring them back to their ancestors' places and bury them. The white armor soldiers and several fallen generals were treated better, and they were buried in the sky according to the Manchu custom. Their bodies were washed and stripped clean. Then it is covered with butter and placed on the branches of the trees to attract crows, birds and beasts to eat.
A flock of crows circled in the sky, and Bolhui took off his helmet, fell to his knees with a "poof", bowed to their sacred bird, and kowtowed a few times. Kneeling there in a daze.
It seems to be a nightmare, everything around is not very real, weishenme was still in high spirits three days ago, but at the moment it is at the end of its rope!
Where did you lose this battle? Will there be a chance for revenge in the future? What's next?
Hold on to help. It is the safest way in this situation, but the food is obviously insufficient, and after three days of fierce fighting, the military rations are all supplied in open tubes, and they are consumed very quickly, and the rest can last for three or four days at most. After three or four days, maybe you can only really kill the horse, but after killing the horse, what if the reinforcements don't arrive?
Surrounded in the mountains and cut off from intelligence, he was confused about the entire battlefield situation, the Ming army was so fearless, how many men and horses were dispatched? Perhaps, Ma Jiaolin and Hei Yunchang in Yuezhou are deceitful surrenders, just to lure themselves into the encirclement, perhaps, there are strong camps behind Wang Kefan, surround themselves to the point that they are impassable, perhaps, He Tengjiao's army has gone north, and outside the mountains is the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Ming Dynasty!
Whether Luck Dehun will send troops to the rescue, how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive, whether he can defeat the Ming army that intercepts him, and whether he can break through the camp that surrounds him, there are too many uncertain factors! At the same time, there was an irresistible temptation in front of Bo Erhui, the Ming army just blocked the official roads at both ends, and as long as he wanted, he could enter the mountains and mountains at any time and disperse and break through......
……
Hundreds of miles away, Chenglingji, the camp of the Ming army's sailors.
This naval division camp is built near the Yangtze River, occupies the best geographical position, and goes out to the east of the big river, locks off Hunan and Hubei, and retreats against the mid-mountain fort, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack...... It is said that this water camp was built by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, because it is located in a dangerous throat, it has been valued by the imperial court for many years, and after continuous expansion and reinforcement, a water fortress has been built on the river, which is majestic and magnificent, and the weather is strict.
But at this moment, the water camp is a land of flowers and wine, and the warblers are singing.
"Master Hei, these two fans are the top girls in Yuezhou City, not only coquettish Peugeot, but the strongest is the kung fu in bed, you old man is afraid that he will meet an opponent today!" Song Jiang had a smirk on his face, and as soon as he spoke to Hei Yunchang, a strong smell of wine erupted from his mouth.
"Cut, Lao Tzu is the tenth girl of the night, the golden gun does not fall, and you are still afraid of these two girls?" Hei Yunchang held the wine glass in one hand, but the other hand reached into his arms and hugged the kiln sister's chest, and kept touching: "Little Niangpi, is your kung fu really good?" Okay, Hei Ye likes a slut like you......"
The kiln sister has a slender figure and a beautiful appearance, but she was pinched and chirped by him, and laughed again and again: "Oh, you...... Master Hei spared the slave family, why don't we guess the fist and drink, okay? ”
"What's the point of guessing boxing! Come on, come on, guess what's the blackest on Mr. Black's body? ”
"You're so bad!"
Another bewitching kiln sister next to her was jealous, and she also scrambled to Hei Yunchang's arms, holding a wine glass and constantly persuading each other, Hei Yunchang hahadaxiao, took a sip and drank it all, turned to Song Jiang and sighed.
"Toads eat flies, and I'm good at it...... What kind of Qingqi person was made last time, and he didn't move like a piece of wood, which made Lao Tzu soft on the spot, and almost didn't fall into the root of the disease! ”
"That is, of course the little brother knows the preferences of Mr. Hei, as long as your old man is willing to take him in, the little brother will definitely serve Mr. Hei comfortably in the future."
"It's a trivial matter, Lao Tzu is going to vote for the Qing Dynasty tomorrow, you follow me to do a good job, sooner or later you can mix with a garrison or something, it's not much stronger than being a thief?"
Heiyun Chang waited for Bo Erhui to arrive for a long time, so he was ready to lead the sailor to Wuchang Mansion and take the initiative to surrender to the Qing army, but the old acquaintance Song Jiang suddenly came to defect and gave him a heavy gift, plus two beautiful kiln sisters.
"It's all up to Master Hei!" Song Jiang picked up the full wine glass and handed it over, and Hei Yunchang took it and drank it all in one gulp......
In the outer room, the second master Lang Chuanyun with seven or eight powdered heads, is accompanied by a few sailors will drink bitterly, the beauty and wine are current, everyone is hi and skinny. Song Jiang invited dozens of cooks from Linxiang County and Yuezhou Mansion, who were full of wine and meat, for fear that you would drink less, and everyone had a share, and even the soldiers guarding the warship were called, and all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were drunk.
In the night, a group of water ghosts quietly sneaked into the Chenglingji Water Village, and only then did they come out of the water one after another when they reached the bottom of the warship.
With a wave of his hand, a group of water spirits scattered, each looking for a target and touching the warship, all of which were empty and unguarded by sentinels, and they took out their sharp short knives from their waists and cut the sail ropes one by one. (To be continued......)
