Zhangjiakou Taizi Mountain.

Just when Liu Xian was approaching the city of Beijing, Zhangjiakou was such a critical place, and thousands of volunteers who had gathered were forced to retreat into the mountains by the New Army of the Eight Banners.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty's control of the Northern Zhili was really not comparable to that of Shanxi.

Whether it is invested or elite, Beijing Station is much deeper than Datong Station, but Beijing Station can only pull up thirteen teams with all its might, but Datong Station has ten more teams than it, and most of the latter are horse bandits who lick blood from the knife edge. Not to mention that everyone has seen blood, but it is really stronger than the vast majority of recruits and rookies in the Beijing Volunteer Army who have not experienced real fighting.

The New Army of the Eight Banners arrived in Zhangjiakou with the Qing court of 30,000 people, which greatly squeezed the space for the survival and activities of these volunteers. Moreover, the biggest role of these volunteers is not to occupy territory, but to harass the migration army of the Eight Banners, and all of them are gathered in Xuanhua Mansion. And with the suppression of the Eight Banners New Army, they soon converged in one place, with a total strength of 5,000 people.

However, the New Army of the Eight Banners, which was almost exhausted, still broke out with combat effectiveness when it fell to the ground. In the two battles of Shuiquan Fort and Zuo Acropolis, the volunteers lost more than 1,000 lives, and the wolf bèi ran away from the mountain.

At the foot of Taizi Mountain, Mu Tushan's face was gloomy, looking at the Eight Banners soldiers who had fallen from the mountain, he knew that he was a step too late. The group of rebels had already formed a line of defense against Taizi Mountain. Now the rebels are condescending and occupy a geographical advantage, and although they have lost the previous two wars in a row, their morale is not down and they are full of confidence. With the prestige of the Qin army in this way, the situation is obviously favorable. However, the Qing army was not without a little opportunity, because the volunteers in front of them were not only small. There is even more lack of total artillery.

"Junmen, the thieves are strong, it's better to retreat!" An officer spoke to Mutushan. Anyway, it won't be long. The artillery will arrive. When the time comes, we will see how the thieves on the mountain can resist.

Mu Tushan glared at the officer with sharp eyes: "If you have a slight setback, you will retreat, and the court will let your elders be ruined." Pick out the sharp, and then test! Tell the brothers that the reward is doubled! But who the hell dares to take a step back, don't blame the old man for not recognizing the sword in his hand! ”

"Wow!"

What else can the officer say? With a word of persuasion, I almost put myself in. It's a fart.

Since the military gate lord wants to fight, no one below will have an opinion. You can only urge your subordinates to adjust the formation. Select the Warriors and rush forward like a death squad.

……

Such a scene also happened in Shanxi and Sichuan. Use tough battles to consume some miscellaneous cards, and then take the opportunity to divide and recombine, and the small hills outside the Qin army are immediately pressed into powder.

In this 'Volunteer Army' uprising involving Beizhili and Shanxi, how many families were ruined and mutilated because of it. Liu Xian didn't know. He didn't want to pay attention to it. There is always a sacrifice to be gained. The Volunteers paid a great price, but they also stopped the relocated Manchu army.

I don't know how many Manchus fled, and I don't know what the Qing court was in a hurry.

The Manchu Eight Banners New Army showed a certain amount of combat effectiveness, but the number of bannermen they had to carry was too many. And more importantly, these pampered children of the Eight Banners will not be able to complete the rapid change of identity in a short period of time. To let this group of people obediently embark on a journey of thousands of miles, it is much more difficult than a group of ordinary people and tenants at the bottom of the ranks.

Coupled with the mountainous nature of Shanxi, this also means that the Manchu army will have many loopholes that must be guarded against. Otherwise, those loopholes will become a channel for the volunteers to attack and attack them. Although the losses of the volunteers under the blows of the Qing army were not small.

The third day of the seventh month. Zizhou, Sichuan.

Su Jiawan had just experienced a fierce battle. After the battle, the position of the Qing army in Sujiawan was a dilapidated scene. Around the chest wall of the wooden fence, there were purple-brown blood stains. It's still summer, the sun is scorching, but it's not a day before the corpse can be buried, and the smell of corpses has already spread throughout Sujiawan.

Under the personal supervision of Admiral Tang Yougeng, the Sichuan army began to clean up the corpses and pack up the fortifications.

In this battle, although the Qing army won, but to compare the number of casualties, it is also more than the Qing army, almost twice the number of casualties of the Qin army, if it were not for the Chengdu Eight Banners disciples really gave up their lives and Liu Zhuo's preparation seems to be insufficient, this battle is really unpredictable in the end.

Among the Qing armies, the one with the greatest losses and the least gains was undoubtedly Tang Yougeng's department. Because they were defeated in the impact of the Qin army, and then the Qin army was blocked by the Eight Banners New Army, and after a fierce battle, the Qin army, which lacked courage, was defeated and retreated to Sujiabend, and the results of the battlefield were naturally all the Eight Banners New Army.

Tang Yougeng lost half of his troops, but there were very few of them, and even dozens of Sichuan soldiers who were captured by the Qin army and cut off their braids, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army's defeat and retreat, all let the banner soldiers cut off their heads to repay their achievements.

It is an extraordinary period, almost all of southern Sichuan has fallen, and the Xianghuai army in Chongqing is about to surrender. Li Hongzhang was rushing to Chongqing by boat. The Manchu Qing Dynasty even lost Beijing, the country was crumbling, and the Sichuan soldiers were already a little shaken, but now after such a experience, the Sichuan army's heart was turbulent.

Countless Sichuan soldiers were gritting their teeth and cursing Kuiyu and the Eight Banners New Army at this moment. In the previous battle, these soldiers were also fighting with their lives, although they were defeated by the Qin army, but they also bought time for the assembly and mobilization of the Eight Banners New Army. Not to mention the credit, there should always be hard work, right? And so many people died. Why do you have to give preferential compensation, don't you?

His mother's credit for winning the Qin army was all due to the greed of the Eight Banners New Army, and he also cut off the heads of dozens of brothers as anti-thieves. These damn Tartars, do you really think they were more than 200 years ago? Now that the country is crumbling, do you want to fuck off?

Dozens of lives. I cut off my head without saying anything, these flag people still don't treat Han people as people!

It's ruthless, and it's too chilling.

Tang Yougeng was a veteran of leading soldiers, and he immediately realized that the signs were wrong. But for a while, he couldn't think of any way to calm people's hearts. Even his own heart is now complaining about Wu Tang and Kuiyu.

The veteran general who has fought a hundred battles on the battlefield to get to today, the supreme commander of the battle of Zizhou turned out to be the first commander of Chengdu, which is simply too deceitful.

The captain of the pro-soldier lowered his voice and said, "Junmen, be careful of the change in the army's heart!" ”

"Hmph, the military heart is already resentful. I see how to protect Zizhou this time! ”

Now the military spirit, at least Tang Yougeng's headquarters, is forced to change immediately. When the Qin army came again, the more than 3,000 people in front of him would all turn around and flee. Look at how much iron you can have in Chengdu Baqi and how many nails you can hit!?

"You can't do that. Since then, the ranks have dispersed. They may even defect. The captain of the pro-soldier looked at his master in surprise.

"Now to appease the hearts of the army, you have to rely on silver, where does this army get the silver? I can ask Chengdu for money. If you are in battle, you will defect! Anyway, Lao Tzu, the admiral, is not a taste. Defected to pull to. ”

At the same time, in the camp of the Qing army in Mingxin Temple, in the Chinese army tent of Liu Baoguo, the chief soldier of Jianchang Town, Liu Baoguo and Wu Qizhong, the chief soldier of Chongqing Town, were also disgruntled, drinking and complaining with several of his generals.

"What's this called!? We are fighting hard battles and tough battles, and in the end, we can't even drink soup, and the benefits are all flag people! The brothers fought hard in vain!? Don't even have a share of the money you burn when you die? Such a big victory, but killed more than 3,000 people in the Qin army, and there was not a penny of silver, how could this soldier be brought after the military gate? Who is willing to work hard? ”

Wu Qizhong's tone was full of bitter water, and he hadn't finished pouring it since noon today, and Liu Baoguo and the others who were drinking with him were also sad, not at all like they had just won the battle.

Because the two of them, the two of them, are the children of each family. One of Jianchang and Chongqing is already surnamed Qin, and the other will soon change his surname to Qin. All their food and wages are allocated from above, and when they encounter this situation, they are chilled.

In the night, Liu Zhuo returned to his headquarters from the wounded barracks with a heavy face. When they arrived at the bedroom, even the guards went down, and the frost-like expression on his face disappeared immediately.

The Qing army is still very strong. Killed the small 4,000 Qin troops in one battle, but these 4,000 Qin troops were all miscellaneous. Counting other consumption, since the army marched north, the number of dead in battle alone is close to 6,000. And the injured, disabled, more than 20,000 miscellaneous sixty percent are gone.

This battle was fought bitterly. Those guys who attacked the city and plundered the land and 'fought invincible' were all hit hard now. Next, the descendants of the Qin army will appear, and then fight all the way to Chengdu, maybe they can wear off another layer. Then when you arrive in Chengdu, the Xianghuai Army in Chongqing is also in order, and you can structure the opportunity to rectify the Xianghuai Army and eat this group of miscellaneous cards together.

Now Liu Zhuo's only unhappiness is that his name is about to be discredited.

Four thousand people died in the First World War. And lost the battle. The Qin army has never suffered such a big loss since it started its army!

However, this kind of thing, Liu Zhuo believes that the emperor will understand. Although I am a little bad, I will never really suffer. As long as the emperor can remember his own goodness, his reputation is nothing!

With a cheerful mood, Liu Zhuo fell asleep. Then in the middle of the night he was woken up by the guards. Sujiawan and Mingxin Temple sent people, and almost at the same time, they arrived at the northern and western fronts of the Qin army. This news was immediately reflected to Liu Zhuo's headquarters.

The sleeping worm on Liu Zhuo's face flew away instantly, "Hahaha, hahaha......" laughed loudly.

What would it be like to send someone to see you at this time? Thinking with his heels, Liu Zhuo can also think of it. It's really luck that can't be stopped, this is a double happiness.

"Quick, bring them to command. Stagger the road and place them separately. ”

The entire headquarters was brightly lit, and Liu Zhuo ordered all departments of the whole army to organize soldiers and horses before the arrivals of the comers, and the time had come for revenge.

On the fourth day of the seventh month, the Qin army broke through the defense line of the Qing army in Zizhou. Tang Yougeng, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Baoguo and Wu Qizhong, the commanders of Jianchang Town and Chongqing Town, led their troops to revolt on the battlefield. The New Army of the Eight Banners in Central Sichuan was defeated and raped six or seven thousand people...... (To be continued......)
