"Lord Wang, the military heart is available, and the morale is available!"

The military machine Zhang Jing Dong He is a Han official, and he doesn't know how to soldier, but the 10,000-person group offensive launched by his own side still makes him can't help but be enthusiastic, if he doesn't know how to ride a horse, and he can't carry a knife to kill like the soldiers, he must have asked the prince for help.

"Everyone is brave, and it is time to break the enemy!"

Xu Sizeng, Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was also excited, especially the hard work of the Baoyi Battalion directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs made him feel very honored.

If this battle can be won by a great victory, and the stability of the victory can completely sweep away the rebel thief devil six, he must fold to the imperial court and ask for the expansion of the Baoyi battalion of the Internal Affairs Bureau, so that it will become the elite of the Eight Banners like the forward, firearms, and protectors.

In this way, the good name of Baoyi Wuyong can spread all over the world and become an example for everyone in the Eight Banners to follow!

Second, it can also give a future to the children of Baoyi under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"It's long overdue!"

The commander of the protector army, Ai Xing, kept nodding his head while observing the battle with a clairvoyant mirror, and the morale of the army was so high because of a clever plan to co-organize the university scholars.

It is not uncommon to say, that is, the army was ordered to break through Niuxin Village and march to Xiangyang on the way, they can loot at will, and they can plunder Xiangyang for three days. Even if the officers and soldiers snatch the women, they can also bring them back.

As a result, the morale of the rebels, which had been somewhat negative, rose at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The Manchu Langfu monk of the Lonely Army Department disagreed with the method of co-organizing the university Shi Niu Lunbao, and said in a low voice: "There are many ways to boost morale, why do you want to allow the looting and slaughter of the city?" The people of Jingxiang are all my people of the Qing Dynasty, why should they suffer from this flying disaster? ”

Niu Lunbao was a little surprised that the Fu monk would have this opinion, thought about it for a while, and said frankly: "The soldiers of the three battalions are all children of the Eight Banners, they have already complained about the southern expedition, and they were also arrogant in the capital in the past. ”

After that, he added: "In the current situation, if you win, you are not guilty, and if you lose, you are not guilty. ”

After hearing this, the monk was silent for a long time, and sighed, understanding that there was no way to do it.

As Niu Lunbao said, if this battle is lost, there will be no court, and where will there be the emperor!

If we can't break the deadlock here, I'm afraid that things will change in the military.

In his sight, the fourth elder brother was talking to Mu Etu, the guard beside him.

"Lord Wang, it has been found out that the opposite side is the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, not the new army that Jia Thief organized and trained before, and according to the people, a few days ago, there was a soldier and horse to fight Xiangyang, and the slave thought that Jia Thief himself was in the village!"

Mu Etu originally served in the sticky pole department, and once went to Burma with Mingrui and collected a lot of intelligence for the Qing army.

The reason why it has not been determined which soldiers and horses are on the opposite side is because these rebels do not have braids, and they do not have military flags, which is difficult to understand.

Yonghui also determined that Devil Six came to Niuxinzhai from Xiangyang, because not long ago he received dozens of secret letters from Xiangyang, and the content of these letters was about Devil Six's "personal expedition".

In Xiangyang City, not everyone is on the side of Devil Six to be sinners of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to Xiangyang, there were also many local officials who quietly expressed their loyalty to the imperial court, but due to various reasons, they could not give Prince Lu action support, and could only support him mentally.

In this regard, Yonghui did not blame them, after all, these people have no military power and cannot control the situation.

"Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion?"

Dong Huan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the rebels without braids on the opposite side turned out to be the elite Northwest Army, and he couldn't believe it: "Shaanxi and Gansu Admiral Wang Deyong has been loyal and good for generations, and his grandfather is Wang Jinbao, a hereditary viscount who pacified the three feudatories, why did he also rebel against the imperial court?" ”

"I'm afraid that Wang De has used most of it,"

What is already, Ai Xing'a didn't say, but the meaning is obvious, that is, Wang De has already been taken down by Devil Six with this admiral, otherwise the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp would not be used by him.

Yonghui frowned, and then issued a military order, that is, after the village was broken, no matter who the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion was, no one would be left.

】

This military order made the civil and military forces present stunned, but no one stepped forward to advise, because the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion really deserved to die, if it weren't for them, the prince's army would have come to Xiangyang City a long time ago!

The sound of artillery was still rumbling, but looking at the rebel line on the opposite side, there was no sound of artillery.

These cannons belong to the Huguang Green Battalion, with a total of more than 160 guns, and I have to thank the Devil Six, because if he hadn't rebuilt the Huguang Green Battalion and concentrated the artillery from all over the country for use, where would Yonghui get the artillery.

The Huguang Green Camp has been reorganized by Devil Liu, and it is really useful.

However, in order to ensure that the Huguang Green Battalion would not mutiny, the officers above the sixth rank in the army were all removed by Yonghui, some were imprisoned with Zu Yingyuan, the governor of Huguang, and some were transferred to Baoyi and the guards.

A group of officers were selected from the second battalion of the guards and firearms to be transferred to the Huguang Green Battalion, and before the battle, three taels of silver were given to each soldier, which made the elite created by the devil Liuyi for the use of the imperial court.

After going into battle, the performance was much stronger than that of the defenders, and several times almost broke through the defense line of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion.

On the battlefield ahead, the Huguang Green Battalion and the Yuanmingyuan Protector have already approached the enemy's defense line, and they can launch another offensive against the enemy when the coat battalion and firearms battalion on both flanks reach the attack position.

This time the offensive Yonghui learned the previous lesson, did not take turns to attack, nor did he use the tactics of refueling, but almost threw all the troops and horses that could be mobilized, which was really a decisive thing.

Officials, including the co-organizer of the university, said that they would be able to break through the rebel defenses this time, because the actual number of troops invested by the enemy and us on the battlefield had reached three to one, and their own side also had an artillery advantage.

If it weren't for the fact that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the elite Shaanxi Ganlu Battalion in the northwest who is guarding here, this small village would have been flattened.

However, an urgent report from the fast horse in the rear added a little uneasiness to Yonghui's heart.

The urgent report was sent by the deputy capital Tong Dahai, who stayed at the mouth of the river, saying that the rebels had been found in the southwest of the estuary, and judging from the rebel banners and queues, there were no less than 10,000 people, and the target was the estuary.

"Lord Wang, Devil Six wants to wrap us up!"

Ai Xing'a, the commander of the escort army, once served as the chief soldier of Malan Town, participated in the 23rd year of Qianlong's pacification of the rebellion of Hezhuo in southern Xinjiang, and was the only one with experience in the battle formation among the military officers who went south with Yonghui this time.

Qianlong's arrangement was that once Yonghui successfully took over the military power of the army, Ai Xing'a would assist the fourth elder brother in eliminating the devil six.

That is, he acted as the deputy general of Yonghui and actually commanded the battle.

Hearing that the rebels had been found in the rear, Dong He couldn't help but be a little worried: "There are less than 3,000 people at the mouth of the river, Lord Wang, do you want to transfer a force back to strengthen the defense?" ”

"Nonsense, you can't take Niuxinzhai, what's the point of the estuary not being in the hands of our army!"

Niu Lunbao didn't give Dong Zhangjing any face, and at this time, he couldn't wait for thousands of more people to be thrown into the battlefield, how could he transfer troops back to the estuary.

Yonghui is also not in the lake, knowing that Niuxin Village is the key to determining the fate of his father and son, on the one hand, he sent a reply to the defenders of the estuary, and on the other hand, as soon as the sound of the cannon stopped, the various departments launched an attack, regardless of whether the devil six was in the village or not, today he had to take down the key village that had blocked him for several days and open the road to Xiangyang.

When the cannon fire stopped, a group of heralds rushed to the battlefield on horseback.

"The general Wang has an order, step through the Niuxin Village, and capture the six devils alive!"

"Brothers, have you heard it, whoever catches that devil sixth, the court will give him a marquis!"

Batama, the commander of the guards who commanded the Baoyi battalion, wrapped his braid around his neck, tied his right hand with a long knife with a white cloth, and after a mouthful of spit, swung the long knife at the enemy line on the opposite side.

"Kill... Well? ”

Thousands of coats were about to shout for killing, when two long flags suddenly erected in the enemy's defense line.

Ichihata book: "like-minded".

Ichihata book: "Progress Together".

Under the long flag, a white horse slowly moved forward.

Immediately, the knight pointed his helmet and armor, and after galloping for a hundred and ten feet, he suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and shouted proudly: "Soldiers of the Green Battalion, I am Prince Heshuorui, do you really want to shoot at this king!" ”
