On August 26, 180,000 Qing troops rushed from Beijing to Yongping Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it came to the battlefield, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to become bigger. He got out of the carriage and rode forward.
Several minions held up a tall yellow dragon umbrella. Under the tall umbrella, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty picked up his monoculars and tried his best to look at Zheng Jiajun in the distance.
Next to the big umbrella, there are full of princes, Baylor, Gushan Ezhen, etc. On an August day, the sun was still a little scorching, and after walking for so long, everyone was sweating, but they didn't dare to move.
With the gaze of Emperor Shunzhi, they all looked into the distance.
After nearly seven or eight days of recuperation, the seasick soldiers basically recovered.
The 130,000 Zheng family army slowly advanced with neat steps.
Under the scorching sun, the 130,000 Zheng family troops lined up in a neat array of five plum blossoms.
They were composed of numerous large and small circles, with light cavalry wandering on either side, the newly formed ironclad corps in front, the musketeers in the center, and the artillery brigade lagging behind.
To the beat of the marching drums, slowly advance with neat steps. The weapons on their shoulders flickered like sparkling silver waves.
As far as the eye can see, endless armor, endless muskets, dense flags, and under the backdrop of the earthy yellow military uniform, the Zheng family army is like a thick earth, steady!
Since Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, I have seen the mighty and majestic military posture of the Zheng family.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty all took a breath of cold air, and they had all heard from the mouths of the defeated army that the Zheng family army was extremely powerful.
I didn't feel how I listened, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the truth was really a mighty army.
Zheng Jiajun was getting closer and closer, and the sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be heard even by people above the clouds, shaking everyone's hearts.
As soon as Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty stared, he saw that in the commotion, a large banner with the words "Recruiting the General" written on it was particularly eye-catching.
Under the protection of the 300 guard battalion, Zheng Chenggong rode his horse to the front of the battle.
Behind him, Lin Xishan, commander-in-chief of the navy, Yao Qisheng, chief of the general staff, Wan Li, commander of the First Group Army, and Huang Ting, commander of the Third Group Army, stood quietly.
Seeing Zheng Chenggong stepping forward, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was not to be outdone and stepped forward.
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty shouted loudly, "Thieves, why did you raise an unrighteous army to invade my Qing Dynasty." Today, I have a million in the Qing Dynasty, and there are thousands of good generals. If you don't hurry up, you will surrender and surrender, so as not to lose the position of the marquis. Otherwise, where my Great Qing Iron Horse passes, you will be left dead and have no place to be buried! ”
Zheng Chenggong laughed when he heard it on horseback: "I thought you had something to say, but I didn't expect to say this wild talk!" It's not stupid to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! You Tartars deceive the heavens and the earth, mutilate the living beings, are unkind, and the sins are so great that the heavens and the earth will not tolerate them! People of the world, willing to eat your meat! Today, I have raised a large army, vowing to kill the murderers, vent public anger, and save the dawn. Since you are a puppet emperor, you must not make noise, but you can quickly decide with me! ”
After speaking, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers, the day to break the enemy should be at this time, I hope that all the soldiers will fight hard and fight to the death to break the enemy!" Kill! ”
"Fight to the death!" Lin Xishan, Liu Guoxuan, Wan Li and others raised their knives, and roared angrily.
"Fight to the death!"
There were more and more Zheng Jiajun who roared, and after a while, more than 100,000 sergeants were the same person, and the agitated sound went straight to the sky, and even the earth-shaking drum horn was suppressed.
In the earth-shattering drums, except for the 30,000 reserve army, which did not move, the 100,000 Zheng family army shouted forward to kill.
Qing Shunzhi was still thinking about organizing words and counterattacking Zheng Chenggong.
I never expected Zheng Chenggong to act so decisively, without even saying polite words, it was a decisive battle.
After being silent for a moment, Emperor Shunzhi of Qing suddenly burst out laughing, "So let's see the real chapter on the battlefield later!" I only pity your tens of thousands of troops, and how many people can survive in the end. Soldiers, it's time to show the majesty of my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, let these Han dogs see what heroism is, kill! ”
With the killing of Emperor Shunzhi, the Qing army also swarmed out.
"Fire!"
As soon as he saw the Qing army approaching, Huang Ting, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his right hand and gave an order in a hoarse voice, and then his arm fell heavily.
"Boom!" "Boom~~!" Hundreds of artillery pieces exploded, with a terrible and sharp whistling sound, and smashed into the Qing army.
Thundered! Thundered! Thundered!
The explosions continued one after another, and they continued into a chapter of Death Town Requiem! The flying shrapnel indiscriminately harvests human lives.
In today's battlefield of intensive army combat, artillery fire shows incomparably great power!
"Don't panic, rush over! Rush over! Rush over and those dogs will be scared of us! ”
"Rush over!"
Liu Youshi of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty let out a roar.
In order to win this battle of life and death, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty imprisoned the families of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Whoever dares to run away will be beheaded by his family.
They gritted their teeth, endured fear, raised their shields, formed a dense formation, and quickly slaughtered towards the Zheng family's army.
Behind them, nearly 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners were arrayed, ready to charge.
In the rear of the Zheng family's army, almost all the available artillery was concentrated, and the shells were desperately shot out.
Closer, the Zheng family's musketeers also began to attack.
Dense rain of bullets, flying shrapnel...... All intertwined, almost obscuring the sky.
"Don't stop, rush!" In the shouts of the generals, the soldiers of the Qing army also exerted their strength and marched forward without fear of death.
"No military orders, no retreat!"
Liu Guoxuan slashed and shouted, "I am invincible!" ”
After the bloody battle of Anqing, the ironclad army suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out.
In recent years, Zheng Chenggong has vigorously purchased black slaves, coupled with the transfer of strong people in the Zheng family's army, and continued to adopt the model of one Han with one black man, and re-established the ironclad army.
"I'm invincible!"
Armored soldiers in heavy armor and armed with swords roared in unison.
"Don't stop, rush, rush over, melee with the enemy!" Liu Youshi swung his knife and fought forward, shouting hoarsely.
Under the impact of the Qing army's casualties, the rear artillery of the Zheng family army was still devouring the lives of the Qing soldiers.
But the Qing soldiers in the vanguard shouted indulgently and fought against the front army of the Zheng family's army.
The drums of war were like thunder, fierce and passionate, and the dance inspired countless soldiers to fight to the death.
Kill, kill, kill! Till death rests.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were already entangled with the Zheng Jiajun, "The warriors of the Eight Banners, follow me!" Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai and Yibai raised their sabers and pointed at Zheng Jiajun, leading the Eight Banners cavalry to pounce on their prey like a group of fierce beasts.
Prepare to insert from the side and go straight to the camp of the Zheng family's army.
The roaring hooves of the galloping horses are like thunder in winter. Under the galloping and trampling of tens of thousands of war horses, the calm earth became extremely frightened, trembling and trembling.
The Iron Rider took on a huge cone-shaped charging formation, overwhelming and rumbling over.
And the sharpest cone is Ibay.
Ibay raised his saber and roared into the sky: "Kill! ”
The Manchu soldiers roared as if they were crazy, roaring hysterically one by one, waving the weapons in their hands, their faces became hideous, and they pounced on the Zheng army in front like wolves.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army was dispatched, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand.
The flag gate of the Chinese army's position was slammed open, and a dull howl suddenly came.
The black pressed piece rushed out of the Zheng family's military camp with clusters of red light.
The more deafening sound of running, in the burst of howls, rushed over more bravely.
At this time, the earth no longer trembled. but the earth shook and the mountains shook.
Fire bulls, nearly three thousand bulls have fiery ropes tied to their tails. The fire stung the bull and rushed forward angrily.
Each bull ran forward with red eyes.
Forward! Forward! Forward!
Seeing the way it was running towards him, Ibay was shocked, "It's a cow, the damn Han dog used a fire bull trick!" Retreat, retreat! ”
The running Qing army is like an arrow off the string, and there is no turning back!
The troops, who were also sprinting at full speed, inevitably collided together.
Covered in elaborate armor and made of steel, the Ox rushed into the cavalry and knocked a succession of Qing soldiers to the ground, and then roared past their corpses.
As soon as he made contact, Ibay was knocked off his horse by an angry bull, and then trampled by a thousand cows, and there was not a single bone residue.
A series of collisions rang out incessantly.
The rumbling trampling, the deafening crash, and the roar of the horses and the neighing of the bulls converged into a death movement that resounded through the world.
A series of earth-shattering collisions frightened Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty!
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty went to the battlefield for the first time and was stunned by the cruelty of the battlefield.
Fortunately, Suke Saha, who was beside him, also fought with the Qing army many times in his early years, and he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty! Haikou uses fire ox schemes, and the current form is not conducive to my Qing Dynasty iron horse. Quickly give the order for the iron cavalry to withdraw, retreat to the camp, and defend the camp. Fire cows can only be used once, when these fire cows die. If we fight back again, with the help of Mongolia then, our Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory! ”
Although Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was stunned just now, he was also a decisive person, and immediately ordered the iron cavalry to retreat.
The Qing army wanted to withdraw, how could Zheng Chenggong agree, in his order, the Zheng family army was entangled with these Qing troops.
Seeing that the Qing army's iron cavalry was entangled by the Zheng family's army, they couldn't retreat.
Emperor Shunzhi of Qing was furious, "Order Daniel Zhang and Ma Ning, and order them to lead the army to block the enemy army." I can't let the Qing warriors die in vain at the feet of the beasts, ruining my plan to break the enemy! ”
Hearing the order from Shunzhi, Daniel Zhang and Ma Ning were very sad and indignant, but thinking of their relatives in the capital, they could only sadly lead their men to fight to the death with the Zheng family army.
During the bloody battle between the Qing army and the Zheng army, between Chengde and Yongping Mansion, a cavalry was roaring.
While running, a spy rode over and drank, "Great Khan, the Qing army has been beaten and retreated." If we don't come to the rescue, it seems that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will not be able to hold out tomorrow! ”
Totamu, the number one warrior of the Chahar Division, hurriedly reported to the Great Khan of Chahar, "Great Khan, what should we do? ”
After muttering for a long time, the Great Khan of Chahar stood up from his seat and said slowly: "Order, the whole army is assembled and ready to attack!" ”
"No!" Totamu replied excitedly.
The Qing army's iron cavalry was forced to withdraw by the Zheng family's fire bull strategy, and the cavalry without impact made it impossible to stop fearing.
Under the fierce offensive of the Zheng army, the Qing army retreated step by step.
Suke Saha said to Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty in a hurry. "Your Majesty, the situation is a little bad now, I'm afraid it's not enough to resist the enemy, please retreat quickly to be sure!"
"No!" Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty shouted with a grim face, "I am the Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty, how can I escape from the battle." In this way, what face will there be to go to Taizu and Taizong in the future. I won't run away from death. Then send someone to urge Meng Baqi. If they don't go to war again, the overall situation is in jeopardy! ”
"Hey~~!" Sukh Saha heard a silent sigh and looked north with a slightly complicated expression.
Suddenly, the earth trembled unusually lightly, like a muffled thunderous roar, "Woo~~Woo~~!" The long sound of the trumpet came faintly from the far north.
Sukh Saha perked up and hurriedly listened attentively, carefully discerning.
After a few moments, Sukh Saha was seriously overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, Meng Baqi is here. Your Majesty, the Mongols are here, and we have saved ......"
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was also overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted, "Hahaha...... I am indeed a child of destiny. Hahaha...... These thieves are going to be my opponents! ”
More than 30,000 Mongolian light horsemen lined up in a huge cone formation, galloping on the earth with their hooves, and the torrent of galloping land continued backwards, boundless, with no end in sight.
The earth was trampled by iron hooves, and could only moan cowardly, trembling its body.
Totamu rode his horse at the forefront of the giant cone, his sharp eagle eyes full of bloodthirsty fanatical intent.
"Reinforcements have arrived, and my Qing Dynasty will win!"
Daniel Zhang struggled to slash back a Zheng family army soldier, and shouted excitedly.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" The cheers of excitement spread quickly through the battlefield like a prairie fire.
The long horn sounded on the mountain, like a long drought of rain, so that the Qing soldiers who were caught in a bitter battle suddenly appeared, and the declining fighting spirit was ignited again.
Desperately resisting the impact of the Zheng family's army, expecting the Mongolian cavalry to successfully defeat the Zheng family's army, and then they could take advantage of the victory to pursue and let out a bad breath.
Zheng Chenggong raised his head and saw the rapidly moving clouds on the northern horizon, and the smoke and dust rising into the sky.
That's the smoke and dust that tens of thousands of cavalry can kick!
Zheng Chenggong looked at the Mongolian cavalry roaring and sighed.
The Mongol cavalry is finally here!
But it's okay, this time let Zheng Chenggong sweep away all obstacles in one battle, unify China, and bring the people to a real peaceful and prosperous era!
Zheng Chenggong drank resolutely, "Yang Cai, you lead all the reserve troops to go up to fight against the Mongolian cavalry." I will hand over my brigade of guards to you, and I will be bound to bring me the head of the so-called Great Khan. ”
"General, your safety ......" Yao Qisheng opened his mouth to persuade.
"Don't worry, as long as you win, I'll be as stable as Mount Tai! Go ahead, victory is more important! This is a military order! Zheng Chenggong said lightly.
Yang Cai was silent for a moment, nodded, and arched his hand and said, "General, please be careful!" Let's see the end of the general! ”
Leaving hundreds of guards to protect the safety of Zheng Chenggong, Yao Qisheng and others, Yang Cai led the last 30,000 reserve troops to the battlefield on the northern front to fight against the Mongolian cavalry.
