Chapter 506: A Hodgepodge
Zhe looked in the direction pointed by the guards, and sure enough, he saw the black pressed wolf, holding a sword or even a wooden stick in his hand, and he didn't need any incitement, and he had already joined the war group with a roar.
The cavalry camp was attacked by the enemy on its back, and the pressure increased sharply, because it fell into a melee, and could not charge, it could only divide its troops and turn back to intercept the Japanese who joined the battle one after another, the left flank and the right flank were instantly crushed by the morale of the Chahar people, and they could only shrink the battle line and squeeze into a ball, which made Bayan depressed that there were not many Japanese who had entered the battle in advance, and more and more dense Japanese people joined the war group, and once the cavalry that lost its mobility was surrounded, let alone deal with the Chahar cavalry, I am afraid that these Japanese people could divide and swallow them.
The Japanese people almost went crazy, they were already holding their stomachs, although most of them had rudimentary weapons, and even before that, many of them were farmers or miners, but they were extremely fierce, and a group of Japanese soldiers joined the battle fiercely, so that the rear of the Xiao cavalry battalion collapsed first, if Bayan chose to flee a quarter of an hour ago, even if there was the pursuit of the Chahar cavalry, he might be able to retain some of his strength, but it was too late, as soon as the front was crushed, it was immediately divided and surrounded by a tide of Japanese people, The Chahars, on the other hand, specifically selected the Manchus who had fled and began to pursue and slaughter.
It's over, Bayan's face is swollen and red, and this thought rises in his heart, first the Chahar people raided the camp, and then the Japanese people participated in the battle, on the snowfield, hundreds of thousands of troops were mixed into a mess, and the Xiaocai camp was divided into several pieces, and it was slowly devoured, and the swarming Japanese people continued to rush left and right, roaring and pulling off the knights one by one to cut them into meat sauce.
"Boom, boom, boom" Just when Bayan was desperate, suddenly, in the midst ......of shouting and killing, there was a faint sound of war horses stomping on the ground, and the snow field trembled like a group of giant beasts rushing towards the battlefield.
Ezhe couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately a scout came to say: "Great Khan, a group of men and horses has appeared in the rear, and it is a cavalry full of people. ”
Ezhe couldn't help but be surprised and calmed down, as early as the way to the attack, he faintly felt that there was a cavalry swimming in his rear, at that time, there was no scruples, just thinking about breaking the Xiaocai camp in one fell swoop, at this time his scimitar moved, the entire Xiaocai camp has been divided and surrounded by the Japanese, and the Chahar cavalry instead leisurely gathered in the direction of Ezhe.
"Warriors, you see, there are people trying to provoke the brave steppe eagles again, the immortal heavens are watching us, take up your weapons, let them see the courage of the palace guards of the Khan, and tear them to pieces like wolves, and kill."
The exhausted Chahar knight raised his long sword, and with the last shout of slaughter, he turned his horse's head like an arrow off the string and charged in the direction of the Manchurian cavalry.
The 30,000 Ruijian battalion began to charge with the Fu body, and the cavalry of Ezhe marched east from Shengjing, and Fuquan led the cavalry to follow behind, in order not to let the Chahar people try not to chase too closely, fortunately, the Chahar people are in a hurry to move eastward, although there are a small number of cavalry in the rear, and they do not realize that it is a large force of cavalry tail to pursue, but when Fuquan arrives here, he realizes that he seems to have come late, and he does not realize that the Japanese people who are all over the mountains are actually surrounded by the Xiao cavalry camp.
I didn't have time to think about it, and I had already drawn my saber. The Chahar cavalry who followed the interception pointed out: "Kill." ”
The two cavalry quickly collided, and for a moment the man flipped on his back. Countless people snorted and fell off their horses, and the Har people intercepted in a hurry after all. In addition, running day and night went through a big battle. Even if it's a human being, it's bearable. There is not much horsepower left on the ground horses. Just touched. It was disrupted by the cavalry of the Ruijian battalion. Forced to retreat again and again.
Fu Quan had raised his saber without hesitation: "Kill." ”
"Kill." and saw that his people were surrounded by the Japanese people. Once unbeatable, the elite is now struggling to support itself in the encirclement. There is a danger of being submerged at any time. The Qing soldiers of the Ruijian battalion let out a slightly tragic roar. Without hesitation, cut down at these rebellious Mongols.
The fierce battle has really entered the beginning stage. Countless people on the snowy field were in a scuffle. Moaning and shouting continued into the evening. This frantic melee has exhausted almost all the combat power of both sides of the battle. Corpses littered the field. Frozen corpses lying on the ground in the snow were everywhere. It's late afternoon. Goose feathers and snow fell in the sky again. The scuffle is gradually coming to an end. The Chahars and Wa began to retreat eastward. The Qing army, on the other hand, gradually moved westward out of the fighting.
After a fierce battle. The casualties on both sides were enormous. More than 40,000 Japanese were killed in the war. More than half of the Chahar people were killed or wounded. The Qing army did not bargain much. Nine thousand died in the Ruijian camp. The cavalry battalion was almost completely wiped out. Only about 4,000 people escaped for their lives. And that's just the number of wartime deaths. Many exhausted people fell to the ground in the biting cold wind. Maybe he never woke up again.
Fu Quan pursed his lips until everyone had withdrawn from the battle group, then he reined in his horse and ordered to set up camp, a day of bloody fighting had exhausted everyone's physical strength, and he had to hurry up and make a fire for the general
Protect yourself from the cold, otherwise maybe the casualties will increase, and Bayan's arm has already opened a scarlet opening, and the armor on his body has been cut into pieces, fortunately, the weather is cold here, otherwise he would have died of excessive blood loss.
"Prince Yu." Bayan tiredly bandaged the wound and turned the horse close to Fuquan, although the two of them are both commanders, and their positions are equal, but Fuquan is a serious yellow-belted clan, the emperor's own brother today, the prince canonized by the imperial court, Bayan did not dare to take it in front of him, and respectfully saluted on the horse.
"Bayan Dutong, you came just in time." Fuquan saw that the tone of this Xiao general was very gentle, it is no wonder that Bayan suffered such heavy losses in this battle, in the face of the sudden arrival of the Chahar cavalry and the Japanese people all over the mountains, it is extremely rare for the Xiao cavalry battalion to leave four thousand: "Now that the Japanese and the rebels are strong, our two battalions together have suffered heavy casualties, and it is probably reluctant to rely on more than 20,000 people to resist the thieves.
”
Bayan naturally understands Fuquan's thoughts, and what he said is not good, the current Xiao cavalry battalion has basically been disabled, among the four thousand people, almost everyone is injured, and staying here is also a drag for the Ruijian battalion, the cavalry pays attention to mobility, if someone drags back, this prince is naturally reluctant. Bayan nodded: "I will go back to Shengjing tomorrow, take care of the prince." ”
Fu Quanjaw, suddenly, I remembered the words of Prince Kang Jieshu when I was leaving.
"Second brother, the Chahar people are reversed, I'm afraid our good days will come to an end in the future."
At that time, Fuquan sounded that this Uncle Wang was worrying about the sky, destroying his own morale, and increasing the prestige of others, but now that he thinks about it, he is quite touched. After this battle, if you talk about casualties, the Qing army did not suffer a loss, the Qing army suffered no more than 30,000 casualties, and the Japanese people were killed and wounded more than 40,000 people, plus the Chahar people also had nearly 10,000 injuries, but even if they were victorious, calculated down, the Qing army was even weaker, just because the Manchu population was only so much, and the elite of the five battalions was only more than 100,000 people, and one less died, and these rebellious Mongols, the Japanese people, the Koreans, and the Han people in the pass were endless, so that the Manchus could deal with the Japanese or North Korea aloneMongolia is fine, but what about the Han Chinese? The Manchus killed one less one, and the Han people died one in the war, and ten or even a hundred can be recruited to supplement it immediately, which is the truth of victory and defeat, after all, the current Han people are no longer the Han people who rushed to flee for their lives as soon as the Manchus arrived, and the Manchus in the past could still use Han to control Han, but now? Fuquan is the clan of his relatives, and he can hear the secret folds that many people can't see from Kangxi's words, he knows very well that those so-called Han army flags, the so-called green camp, have gradually begun to centrifuge, these people were originally the grass on the wall, and they were able to take refuge in the Manchurians to be traitors back then, and now it is natural for them to rebel in order to save their lives.
The myth that the Manchus are not more than 10,000 and more than 10,000 invincible has been broken, the war exploits accumulated for decades have long since disappeared, and the empire that has been forcibly glued together by the Manchus without prestige and military exploits has been crumbling, and one after another rebellion has made more people deviate from morality, and more tribes have begun to stand up and challenge the authority of the Manchus, first Dzungaria, and then Chahar, Fuquan now finally understands that the biggest weakness of the Manchus is not combat power, let alone the success or failure of a battle, but prestige, once these myths gradually fade their halo, Everyone knows that the Manchurian Eight Banners are no longer the terrifying force they once were, and that the Tibetans, Miao, and Mongols will not hesitate to pick up their swords and contribute to the overthrow of the empire by the Han Chinese.
However, the halo has faded, the Manchus no longer protect Mongolia, no longer deter the northwest, lost the fertile soil south of the Yangtze River, and even Liaodong has fallen into shock, overwhelming rebels from all walks of life, countless forces have swarmed, and then, only what is left is the remnants of the Manchurians, even if the Manchus are elite, they are only desperate, constantly repeating the whirlpool of rebellion and rebellion, not to mention, the Nanming who once collapsed with one blow has risen up, and the momentum is booming.
Fuquan sighed and turned his horse back to the camp......

Q&A: Are the Japanese so stupid?
Answer: You can think about it empathically, if you are Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, it is like taking drugs, when you have gradually become addicted, you have no choice, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is not an idiot, he has become a vassal, he must do what the master says, otherwise the master can kick him away at any time and replace him with another agent, and the Japanese people, I'm afraid they don't have a choice, their rule is armed with knives and guns, their rule has backstage support, don't forget, the Japanese are the most patient people in the world, This is evident from the fact that an emperor's lineage can last for thousands of years.
