Chapter 55: The Great War (1)
Before the broken temple, Jie Shu was surrounded by a group of banner generals, with complete armor and majestic style, looking south with a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, his brows were always furrowed.
After a long time, Jie Shu put down the clairvoyant mirror, but it was still difficult to see a happy face, and he was worried.
The rebels are fierce and fierce, with many firearms, and Ma Jiuyu's pacesetters, many of whom are elite. I'm afraid this battle is a bit difficult to fight.
In front of these banner generals, he is the real himself, laughing and scolding, doing whatever he wants, and being too lazy to pretend again.
For Jieshu at this moment, this is also a good time, a good time to break the rebels and occupy Fujian!
At least after this battle, there is no need for Kangxi to nag behind his back.
"Geng Jingzhong, a slave entrenched in Fujian, has engaged in so many firearms and soldiers, his heart can be punished!"
Ninghai General Fu Lata held up the clairvoyant mirror and looked around, his face was like gold paper, and his fingers trembled slightly.
It's no wonder that Fu Rata lost his temper. The rebels on the opposite side had a neat lineup, with countless guns and artillery, and the cavalry was fierce and fierce, and it was by no means something that the Eight Banners could contend with.
After the battle in the past two years, they, the banner generals, also understand that relying on the Eight Banners to kill the enemy and break the thief is a fool's dream.
However, fortunately, there are still these green battalion soldiers who dare to rush and kill.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and won the Central Plains, didn't it depend on Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, the elite among the Han people.
However, it was the insatiable dog minions such as Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong that led to this war that caused most of China.
"Ma Jiuyu, this dog minion, catch him, I have to pull out his skin!"
Hangzhou General Lahada's eyes were fierce, his body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
Since Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, he, the general of Hangzhou, has not had a good life.
In the wind and rain, the bullets are raining, and they often face the threat of death......
This is all thanks to Geng Jingzhong, a dog thief!
Geng Jingzhong couldn't pay his salary, so he let his men rob and feed himself. This idiot is brave and unscrupulous, and his subordinates are all like goods, a plate of loose sand. Wait and see, it won't take long for the rebels to be defeated!"
Seeing that the faces of the generals around him were ugly and their morale was low, Jie Shu said loudly, his tone was very disdainful.
The rebels are violent, and although he is nervous, the commander of the first army and the master of the three armies cannot take the lead in showing weakness and affect the morale of the three armies.
In fact, he is doing more than that. It was the Green Battalion who charged, not the bannermen under him.
"Prince Kang is right, Ma Jiuyu and these guys are just a bunch of goods! After a while, the two armies will fight, and the three armies will die, and they will definitely fight their father and mother, and they will be fart! ”
Hangzhou General Lahada reacted and immediately changed his tone to cheer up these banner soldiers under his command.
All the banner generals laughed together.
Although the generals laughed reluctantly.
"Geng Jingzhong, just these cowards under his hands, he will also bully the people. Fight, forget it! ”
"That's it, compared to Wu Sangui's dog minion, Geng Jingzhong is a fart!"
"I heard that Geng Jingzhong's house still has white elephants, so he can't sell the white elephants and exchange some silver for his subordinates? This short-lived miser! ”
Also, there is a pair of stone lions in front of the gate of Geng Jingzhong, which is the "white stone" produced by Guangdong Gaoyao, which is bright and warm, extremely white, and is carefully carved by craftsmen, and is priceless. Doesn't this idiot know that he sold the stone lion and gave his command some money! ”
The bannermen and generals laughed and scolded, Jie Shu nodded secretly, and the military heart was available.
"You minions, let's try to compete with the rebels in a while, and let them see how powerful our Eight Banners warriors are!"
Jie Shu laughed and was calm.
Having said that, the 3,000 banner soldiers still guarded the camp of the Chinese army, relying on the terrain and broken temples to block the attack. Unlike the other battalions, they were all on the plains, without any cover.
"That's what Prince Kang said! The minions will go down first and kill the arrogance of these rebels!"
Muhrin, the deputy commander, bowed to Jieshu, impassioned and high-spirited.
"Go ahead! The cavalry of the rebels is up to you! ”
With a wave of his hand, Muhrin mounted his horse and headed down the hill.
Mukhrin's subordinates included the Mongol cavalry of the Karaqin and Tumut tribes, and after he himself was also a Mongolian nobleman of the Mongolian Ulut tribe, he led four or five thousand cavalry from his clan, which also played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
However, in his cavalry ranks, the 3,000 cavalry were all green battalion soldiers from the two provinces and Zhejiang, and the Mongol cavalry only accounted for a minority.
This is also the same as the foot soldiers, it will always be the green battalion soldiers charging into battle, and it will always be the Han soldiers who forget to die.
"Prince Kang, the rebels are about to attack, and Li Fu's four thousand green battalion soldiers may not be able to fight a tough battle. Look, look at the minions! ”
The Fujian Admiral Duan should raise his head and kneel down on one knee to salute.
He has more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, 2,000 pacesetters, and more than 3,000 green battalions, all of which are the main force of the Qing army this time, just like Chen Shikai.
"Duan Yingju, the thoughtfulness of the left wing of the army depends on you! After this battle, this king will discuss the meritorious deeds and reward the merits of the Duan family to the Son of Heaven! ”
Jieshu's smile is gentle and harmless to humans and animals.
This minion with a blue flag, since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, has fought bravely and made many achievements, and like Chen Shikai of the Green Battalion, he is a famous general in Zhejiang.
"The slave goes to the soup and fights the fire, and he will not give up!"
Duan Ying knelt down on one knee, generously obeyed the order, turned around and strode away.
"Prince Kang, the slave retires, and goes to the army with the dog to command!"
Yao Qisheng, the secretary of Wen Chudao, knelt down on one knee, although he was over half a hundred years old, he was in good shape and alive.
In addition to the 500 well-trained Huiji soldiers, there are more than 4,000 green battalion soldiers, which are also 5,000 people.
Especially his 500 township soldiers, who have experienced a hundred battles and forgot to die, are all dead soldiers wearing iron armor, and they are also the foundation of Yao Qisheng's conquest on the battlefield.
"Go, go! Beware! After beating Ma Jiuyu, we have to go to Fujian to clean up Geng Jingzhong, the emperor is still waiting for your good news! ”
Jie Shu waved his hand and smiled.
"Prince Xie Kang! Slaves retreat! ”
Yao Qisheng retired and turned to leave.
Seeing that his face was flushed, he seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming battle.
Becoming famous in a war, fame and wealth, and sealing a wife and son, as for killing, that is a necessary process.
"The minions are gone!"
"The minions are gone!"
All the generals were ordered to leave, and Jieshu glanced at the right flank of the army and was slightly stunned.
"That's Li Fu's subordinates?"
The army's appearance is neat and tidy, and it is not moving at all, compared to the elite of Duan Yingju's department, it is impressive.
As for Li Fu not coming, it was because Li Fu was not qualified enough, and he was not a banner man, and the left wing of the entire army was under the control of Duan Yingju.
Not only did Li Fu, the general of the left wing, not come, but also Li Rong, the general of the right wing, did not come, and he was also controlled by the banner generals Mu Helin and Yao Qisheng of the right wing.
It seems that Jieshu's trust in the banner generals is far greater than that in the Han generals.
"Tell Prince Kang, that is Li Zhifang's Hangzhou Green Camp under Li Fu, when Jinhua defended the city, he broke the rebel army under Ma Jiuyu more than 10,000. It's very brave! ”
The Manchurian warrior "Baturu" Woshen stepped forward to report.
"It turned out to be Li Zhifang's command, and it really has some momentum!"
Jie Shu nodded, thinking for a moment.
"Woshen, Li Fu, I'm a little worried. You bring the guards with you, and there are those who escape, and there is no mercy! ”
Woshen led the people away, and Jieshu turned his eyes to the south, his brows furrowed.
"Command all armies to prepare for battle!"
Seeing the flags flying in the rebel formation, and the people and horses galloping back and forth, Jieshu shouted loudly, and his heart jumped "bang".
Next, it's up to Chen Shikai and the tower!
In the large array on the left flank, seeing Woshen and others coming on horseback, Li Xingzhong and others all changed their faces.
"Old Five, did the Tartars find something and came to arrest us?"
Especially Li Xingzhong, his heart was beating in shock, and his face was also red.
"Fifth brother, do you want to do it? Kill them directly? ”
Chen Zigou was not worried. Seeing how eager he looked, I can't wait to start breaking out now.
Wang Heyao was also secretly frightened, but he quickly calmed down.
"No, it won't. If you find a clue, why don't you bring more people? ”
Wang Heyao shook his head and said, everyone relaxed.
Sure enough, Li Fu twisted his fat body to meet him, nodded his head, and after a few words, he respectfully brought Woshen and other flag soldiers into the rear formation.
As for Woshen and the others, or Li Fu, they didn't even look at Wang Heyao and the others.
Everyone was relieved, especially Li Xingzhong, who was happy for the rest of his life.
"Third child, you have such a temperament, you can't hold your breath! If you spend candles in the cave room, it won't be a ...... Lift, right? ”
Zhao Guohao laughed and teased Li Xingzhong.
"Old Five, what should I do?"
Zheng Siming frowned.
These flag soldiers must be here to supervise the battle, and when the time comes, they will be in trouble.
"Big brother, you go to the rear army to command, and act when the time comes."
Wang Heyao took a deep breath and quickly made a decision.
"As for Li Fu, if you can, you won't kill it!"
This fat man still has some affection and kindness to him, but he still can't bear to be a killer.
"Old Five, you are still affectionate and righteous!"
Zheng Siming smiled bitterly and led people away.
Affectionate and righteous? I'm afraid it doesn't mean that he is a woman's kindness, and he is not in charge of the army, right?
"Prince Kang's military order, prepare for battle!"
The heralds galloped in front of the battle, and the smoke and dust billowed out. The entire Qing army was moving.
"Fifth brother, the rebels have begun to attack!"
Chen Zigou's words lifted Wang Heyao's spirits. He picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the Geng army position opposite.
Sure enough, the smoke and dust were billowing and the flags were flying, and thousands of cavalry were marching like a wall, with great momentum.
It's a pity for these knights! In his own battalion, there are not even a hundred cavalry!
"I'm afraid that after a while, we will have to fight side by side with these guys!"
Zhao Guohao whispered in Li Xingzhong's ear.
"Do you have a choice?"
Li Xingzhong glanced at Zhao Guohao and pointed to the chest wall in front of the formation.
"These things will come in handy in a moment!"
Zhao Guohao and Chen Zigou on the side glanced at each other, and they were secretly happy.
Fortunately, Wang and Yao had the sappers arrange the chest wall and earthen bags in front of the battle, otherwise the casualties would have greatly increased in the event of a battle.
Prepared, Wang Heyao arranged the troops and thought about everything.
"Pass the order and get ready for battle!"
Wang Heyao shouted loudly, and the generals gave orders one after another.
The large array of the "Wangzi Battalion" also moved.
