Chapter 167: Attack and Defense VI
On the banner of the town domain, Zhou Shixiang saw clearly, and the embroidery on the flag was a golden dragon, but Song Xianggong next to him saw it and said that it was not a dragon, it was really a python. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to 800 ()] The so-called five-clawed dragon is the dragon, the four-clawed python, Shang Kexi is the king of the Han dynasty of the Manchu Dynasty, naturally he does not dare to take the Ming and Huang five-clawed dragon as a robe, and really takes the five-clawed dragon as the banner, then he can claim to be the son of heaven, and the Manchurian soldiers are not going to fight Yongli, but to fight him first, the king of the Kaiyue domain.
Under the banner of the four-clawed regiment of Longzhen Domain, the king of Pingnan is still surrounded by hundreds of royal guards, these royal guards are all veterans of Liaodong, everyone is wearing blue flag-colored armor, pointed helmets on their heads, and cotton armor on their bodies. The cotton armor was made of thick cotton inlaid with iron sheets and fastened with copper nails, and looked like a cotton coat. Guangdong Province is in high temperature at this time, these palace guards are dressed like this, they are really guilty, but if you look carefully, except for the Han water on the forehead, none of the guards are uncomfortable, and none of them are impatient.
Shang Kexi returned to the gold into the Han army with the blue flag, so the flag color uniforms in the army are all inlaid with blue, and at this moment the banner of the town domain is played, and the army is a piece of blue. The green flags of the scattered battalions are inlaid around, and the flags are displayed, which is not majestic. The Pingnan throne is also a first-class Mongolian horse, all black, but the four hooves are white, more than the white cloud of the son of the world Shang Zhixin can not chase -
In addition to the royal guards, there were more than a dozen generals and officials under the command of King Pingnan, and the deputy generals and deputy generals of the Han army stood on both sides, all with their swords in their hands and their heads held high.
The Governor of Guangdong's Yamen also sent a staff member, but it was Hu Guoguo, a staff general who led the Governor's Yamen's pacesetter. This time, the king of Pingnan personally led his troops to the battle, and Li Shutai rarely sent his pacesetters, although there were only 600 people, but it was the essence of the green camp in Guangdong.
Hu Guoguo is also a fierce general, it is a pirate born, the former dynasty Chongzhen was a thief outside the ocean, Hongguang should be recruited by the Ming Dynasty government in Guangdong to become an official army, Li Chengdong led the Qing army to break through Guangzhou after its leading troops to surrender. After Li Chengdong returned to the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Shunzhi anyway, Hu Guoguo did not follow, but led his troops to abandon the official and go to the sea to wait and see, and when Li Chengdong was defeated, the Qing army re-entered Guangdong, and he was naturally reused as a Qing general who did not have a "thief", but his pirate identity was not into the eyes of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, the two princes, but the new governor Li Shutai had a blue eye for him, and he was deliberately promoted to be a general from the third grade, and he was directly led to supervise the pacesetters, and he had a foot in the green camp in Guangdong.
The Governor's Mansion has sent pacesetters, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, has no reason not to send troops to help. Xinhui is the gateway to Guangzhou, and its gains and losses are directly related to the overall situation of Guangdong, otherwise Li Dingguo would not have attacked this place for a long time with tens of thousands of troops last year. In the final analysis, the new meeting must not be lost. Although Geng Jimao is young, he has grown up in the army since he was a child, and he is no stranger to military affairs, so when the news of the loss of Xinhui came, he couldn't sit still, and personally went to Pingnan Wangfu to meet Shang Kexi with the salute of the younger generation, and finally Shang Kexi personally recruited with the respect of Pingnan Wang, although Geng Jimao was in Guangzhou, but Jingnan Wangfu still selected a team of soldiers for Pingnan Wang to deploy.
Geng Jimao transferred this team of soldiers to be less than Li Shuotai's pacesetters, only 500 people, but they were all the elite of the authentic Zhenghuang Banner Han Army, but they were not adulterated, and they were dealt with by the old, weak, sick and disabled. Geng Zhongde, the leader of the Jingnan Palace, is the cousin of Geng Jimao's father Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, is also an old acquaintance.
Geng Jimao is young and vigorous, but Geng Zhongde is old and serious, although he also has the arrogance of the Geng family who is also a vassal king in his bones, but on the surface, he still respects Shang Kexi's old acquaintance. This respect is said to be a respect for the king of Pingnan, but rather a respectful respect for Shang Kexi who can fight, after all, since Geng Zhongming's death, the Geng family's talent to lead the army alone has basically withered, it is this prince, if it weren't for the fact that the queen mother in Bauhinia City let the emperor open her mouth for the sake of the first emperor and the deceased Dolgon, otherwise the throne of the Geng family would have disappeared eight strokes earlier.
Leading the army to fight is not child's play, but also a major matter related to the overall situation of Guangdong, Geng Zhongde knew that his talent was limited, so he consciously led the 500 banner soldiers under his command to obey the dispatch of King Pingnan, and had no complaints.
When Shang Kexi was on the road, he had already reported that the prince was sending troops to attack Xinhui, and he did not interfere too much in this regard, firstly, he wanted his son to be able to personally command a battle, accumulate some experience, and establish the authority of the prince of Pingnan by the way; The second is to see what the strength of the soldiers and horses called the Taiping Army in Xinhui City is.
After arriving at the barracks, the people had not yet dismounted, but they heard that the order to collect the troops had sounded in the camp, Shang Kexi was stunned, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked towards Xinhui City, the green battalion attacking the city in the clairvoyant mirror was retreating in embarrassment, and the Taiping army in the city was cheering.
Seeing this, Shang Kexi was furious, his heart was nameless, his face was as black as charcoal, he hated to put down the clairvoyant mirror, and without turning his head, he gave an order to the guards: "Blow the trumpet, ask the soldiers of this family to press up, and swear to break the new meeting today!"
