Chapter 198: Eight Banners of Misery
Shanlu looked at the rear formation, and sure enough, he saw that there was dusty, and there were scattered routs fleeing towards this side.
Dong Zhanyuan's face turned pale, and he finally suddenly realized that he understood the strategy of the Han army, and said astringently: "Shorthair didn't attack Fucheng at all, they came to us from the beginning, and it was better to stay in Fucheng with peace of mind if they knew this." ”
Shanlu didn't have time to pay attention to his self-pity, took a general look around, and said: "We still have five thousand soldiers, enough to support for a while, everyone quickly form a formation, don't let the shorthair rush up again." ”
Dong Zhanyuan and Shanlu led the rest of the Qing soldiers to a high ground, lined up the only remaining muskets in front of the battle, and ordered people to snatch some supplies from the battlefield and set up camp.
Shanlu stood on the high ground, looking at Ling A and the others who were surrounded by groups, full of guilt, and cried: "The 1,000 Eight Banners are all lost, what a big crime!" ”
Dong Zhanyuan comforted: "Thanks to Lord Dutong's delay in short-haired me, we were spared, otherwise the whole army would inevitably be wiped out, if we can escape, we must play the emperor and praise Lord Dutong well!" ”
The surviving general hurriedly chimed in: "As it should be! ”
I felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was sad.
Tan Shaoguang converged with Chen Yucheng, pointed to the hundreds of Qing troops surrounded in the middle, and said: "I didn't expect this group of Qing troops to be so able to fight, we can't take them for a while!" ”
Chen Yucheng looked at it for a while, then he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Those who are entangled with the Qing army are all newly attached troops, so it is good for them to see blood, so that they can hone their skills!" ”
Tan Shaoguang also looked at the foreign gun team that was ready to fight, and whispered: "Then let them take turns?" This will be arranged. ”
Seeing that there were Han soldiers and horses in all directions, Ling A was desperate. Let the entangled Han army slowly retreat, not for a while. A hundred meters around the Qing army was empty, a hundred meters away. The dense Han army formed a phalanx and surrounded them.
Seeing that his subordinates were frightened, Ling A gathered them around and laughed miserably: "Listen, everyone, everyone in the world can surrender to thieves, but we can't surrender when we are full of people!" ”
"Don't fall!" Someone echoed loudly, and said angrily to the Eight Banner soldiers who bowed their heads around them: "I am the Yellow Banner Ding Jiafu Ruo, we are the emperor's servants, and we can't embarrass the emperor." Brothers of the Yellow Flag, listen, for the emperor! Never surrender! ”
"Don't fall!"
"Fight to the end!"
Ling A nodded approvingly, and commanded more than 200 people to line up from the new formation, ready to meet the enemy.
Chen Yucheng sneered and sneered: "The battle of trapped beasts! ”
Tan Shaoguang gathered the new annexed army together, a phalanx of every two hundred people, and after thinking about it, he added another hundred people, and there were more than ten small phalanxes in the open space.
Chen Yucheng walked over. Came to the center of the phalanx and shouted: "Kill one enemy, remember the merit once!" Kill three enemies and upgrade to one level! ”
"Kill! Kill! More than 3,000 people shouted with all their might.
Tan Shaoguang said loudly: "The first battle to step forward!" ”
Ling A suddenly saw that the military formation in front of him had dodged a passage, and hundreds of Han troops had killed him from the passage. Before he could think about it, he led his brothers to meet him.
The two armies are connected, swords and swords. One side is determined to die, and the other side is eager to kill the enemy.
A quarter of an hour later. The Han army retreated.
Ling Ah was out of breath. He asked left and right: "What the hell is this short-haired person doing, why did he only kill for a while and then retreat?" ”
Both left and right shook their heads and said nothing, just gasping for breath and resting.
Half an hour later, another pair of Han soldiers rushed over, heard the sound of cannons, and retreated in an orderly manner.
After repeating this repeatedly, Ling A was sluggish, and he also understood that the Han army was that they should be sparring partners and hone their soldiers.
On the hillside, Dong Zhanyuan and Shanlu, who had stood for a few hours, had weak legs, and their sympathy for Ling A was not as strong as before, and many people began to complain about their colleagues who were fighting underneath, why did they persist until now, so that they had to stand here like idiots and suffer crimes.
Shanlu pointed to the camp under the hillside and asked, "Why did the short hairs besiege us and not attack us, even Ling A, could it be that they wanted to persuade us to surrender?" ”
Dong Zhanyuan nodded again and again, and echoed: "General Yingming, if Shorthair rushed up just now while we were not on a firm foothold, our army would not be able to support it for long, and now the soldiers are full of spirit and morale have recovered, and it will not be so easy to attack!" The lowly officials also believed that they intended to persuade them to surrender. ”
The Han army had no intention of attacking, Shanlu's heart fell back to its original place, and he caught a glimpse of the surrounding generals standing restlessly, and said with a smile: "Everyone go back, I think Ling Ah and they won't be able to tell the winner for a while." ”
"The general is wise!" When the generals were amnesty, some returned to the camp, while others picked up a place to sit and rest.
Tan Shaoguang began to admire the Qing soldiers in the encirclement a little, and he was tortured for three hours, and he was still fighting hard.
"Division commander, all of our people have been killed, a total of 135 Qing soldiers have been killed, and 200 of our own casualties have been killed! If it's still early today, do you want to fight again? ”
Tan Shaoguang closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "You don't have to hone anymore, send them on the road!" ”
"Yes!"
Regiment commander Xu Guangyao trotted to the camp of the foreign gun team.
"The foreign guns come forward!"
"Line up!"
"Aim!"
"Put!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Ling Ah looked at the corpses around him and laughed miserably.
"Put!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Seeing that there were no more Qing troops standing, Xu Guangyao ordered the hundreds of prisoners standing aside: "Clean up the battlefield!" ”
Chen Yucheng saw Tan Shaoguang enter the tent, put down the military book, and asked, "How are the brothers?" ”
Tan Shaoguang hung up his sword and said with a smile: "These hundreds of Qing troops are really fierce, and no one has surrendered after the battle is at its worst, and the brothers are cleaning up the battlefield and building a camp." ”
Chen Yucheng nodded, and said: "Tomorrow we must take down the Qing army on the hillside, the spies will come to report that there are Qing army rangers near our army, and I am worried that Seng Lingqin will come." ”
Tan Shaoguang became cautious, now that the Han army has just gone through a fierce battle, and the army is scattered in several places, if Monk Greenqin comes over at this time, it is really not easy to deal with.
"The last general will go and order the artillery battalion to fire at the enemy's Dazhai and send people to attack early tomorrow morning."
Shanlu and Dong Zhanyuan waited until dark with fear, and when they saw that the Han army had no intention of attacking, they returned to the camp with a fluke in mind.
"Boom Boom"
"Shorthair is coming!"
When Yu Yi heard the sound of cannons, he didn't have time to tell Admiral Dong Zhanyuan, so he ran to the front camp and shouted:
"Shorthair is up, the musketeers are ready!"
The leader of the musket team waited for a long time, but he didn't see the enemy soldiers, but the shells fell sparsely, and he came to Yu Yi and whispered: "My lord, the shorthair is in the camp!" There are only a few cannons underneath, which are used to scare people. ”
Yu Yu's nervousness eased somewhat, and he advised: "Send someone to guard here, don't let Shorthair rush up, I'll go and tell you." ”
Dong Zhanyuan heard that the Han army only fired artillery and did not attack, so he scolded: "Short hair is really treacherous, there is nothing to do with artillery!" Our army is tired all day, and they don't even let us rest at night, it seems that they have eaten us! (To be continued......)
