Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 255 The Driven Abney

The princes and nobles of Mitezhou thought to themselves, what if the old guy Daishan doesn't return their private soldiers after taking them away?
What should they do if these private soldiers are dragged to the battlefield to fight.

You must know that in order to enter the customs and seize the Central Plains, Dorgon has squeezed out all the power that can be used by the Eight Banners of Mizhou, and almost all the men who can hold swords and guns have come to the battlefield with helmets and armor.

The people and soldiers they ruled have all been handed over, and now all they have left are these private soldiers to protect themselves.

Seeing that everyone didn't say a word after listening to his words, Daishan quickly understood their thoughts, wasn't he just worried that he would eat their soldiers.

Although he disdains the petty thinking of these nobles, Daishan had no choice but to promise them to understand the difficulties in front of him.

"After this battle, all the private soldiers of the kings must be returned."

"If it's not urgent, I can definitely recruit Han Chinese to form a green battalion, why worry about not being able to expel these Mongolian tartars." Daishan said confidently, stroking his gray beard.

Although the Han people are slaves in the eyes of their fellow Asians, the Mongols are not much better.

Mongolians graze on the grasslands every day and live with cattle and sheep. Most of them are infected with the smell of cattle and sheep, and their living conditions are not as good as those of the Jurchens living in Liaodong.

Hearing Daishan's promise, all the aristocrats present believed him.

"Well, I'll hand over the private soldiers to Prince Li first."

After the aristocrats of the mite continents finished discussing how to deal with Abu Nai, the private soldiers from the aristocratic mansions of the mite continents slowly flowed to the front of Daishan's mansion like a trickle.

Although Daishan was old and unable to charge forward, he could not even hold a knife or gun, but he could barely do it by sitting firmly in the central army and commanding the army.

Not long after, six or seven thousand Mizhou private soldiers gathered in front of Daishan's mansion, crowding the streets and alleys.

Daishan saw that the nobles of Mizhou kept their promises and sent private soldiers over.

He was not hesitant, and immediately gathered all the private soldiers in his mansion, and ordered the able-bodied servants and slaves in the mansion to wear armor and hold swords to guard him as personal soldiers.

Although the ethnic composition of servants and servants is complex, most of them are Han and Mongolian, but because they get along day and night, these coated servants are closer to the nobles and more trusted by the nobles.

In the Qing court, the easiest way for the Han people to become an official was to coat slaves. Once they were favored by their masters, they would skyrocket to become an official.

Just like Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin, he could become a high-ranking official like Jiangning Manufacturing in one day.

There is no need to study like ordinary Han people, and then go through government examinations, provincial examinations, general examinations, palace examinations and other assessments before they can be awarded an official by the court.

Then he worked hard for decades without making mistakes. If he was unlucky, he might not be able to get such an important official position as weaving.

Daishan is no exception, he trusts these coated servants very much, that's why he let them put on tough guards and guard him by his side.

Of course, Daishan doesn't just rely on them, there are private soldiers of Mizhou around him that he can rely on.

The reason why these coated slaves are armed is more to increase their momentum and increase their strength, so that when they go out of the city to fight, the odds will be higher.

Daishan is a veteran and knows that it is better to have as many troops as possible.

After all, with more troops, the formation can be thicker and more difficult to be overwhelmed by the enemy.

Not only that, but you can also perform more tactical and combat actions, making it easier to command operations.

"That daring tartar of Abu Nai is here, he dared to lead his crowd into the capital, it's like breaking ground on Tai Sui's head."

"If you don't let him see how powerful the Eight Banners man is today, he will think that our Eight Banners are just paper."

Daishan was very smart, he didn't say that Abu Nai was too bad, and he didn't say what would happen if he was driven away, but he was involved in Baqi.

This can mobilize the emotions of the soldiers of the Eight Banners very well. Although the private soldiers of the mite island nobles in front of him are private soldiers, they also belong to the Eight Banners in name.

"Kill, kill those Mongolian Tartars."

The officers and soldiers of Mizhou who were present waved their weapons excitedly and said.

For the Mongols, they have never had a good impression, although the upper class of Mianzhou and Mongolia like intermarriage and marriage, saying that they are a Manchurian family.

But their war with Mongolia has only ended in recent years. Since the Nurhachi era, they have often fought against the Mongols.

Hatred cannot be dispelled overnight, and these officers and soldiers in Mizhou would not be so stupid as to really regard the Mongols as relatives of their own family.

"Okay, send troops."

Seeing the excited emotions of the officers and soldiers, Daishan felt that the morale and morale of the army were available, and if he didn't send troops at this time, let alone when.

So Dai Shan ordered the city guards to open the gates of the inner city, recruited thousands of guards into his team, and managed to gather an army of more than [-] people to go out to face Abnai.

At the same time, Abnai was overjoyed to see an army of mites rushing out of the city.

He was worried that he had no siege equipment to enter the city, but it happened that the Qing army came out by himself.

As long as you defeat the Mite Island army in front of you, and then follow them into the city, the defense system of the inner city wall of the capital will be broken.

So when he saw the Mizhou army leaving the city, Abnai impatiently ordered his prairie cavalry to draw their bows and shoot arrows, aiming at the small open space below the city gate.

Everyone of the prairie cavalry has bows and arrows, and the equipment rate is almost [-]%.

Abnai gave an order, and in an instant, a large number of arrows rushed towards the army of Mizhou who had just left the city like rain.

It's a pity that the bows and arrows used by these prairie cavalry are too weak, and the arrows are not armor-piercing arrows specially made for armored enemies.

It looked like a rain of arrows, almost turning the Manchurian soldiers who had just left the city into hedgehogs, but in fact there were few casualties at all.

The Manchurian officers and soldiers saw that the bows and arrows of the Mongols in Abu Nai were soft and weak, just like the corrupt Han army guards, their morale was boosted one by one, and they rushed forward.

They all want to cut off one or two heads of the enemy army as a step into their own glory and wealth.

Abu Nai never imagined that what he wanted to do to damage the morale of the enemy army turned out to inspire the enemy army instead, which made him want to cry without tears.

However, Abnai would not admit defeat so easily. Seeing the Qing army charging, he immediately organized the grassland cavalry to charge back with long spears.

It's a pity that all the prairie cavalry under his command lack armor, let alone war horses, and they don't even have horse clothes.

These cavalry rushed to the Manchu officers and soldiers wearing heavy armor, spears, shields, and broadswords, almost giving away their heads.

The prairie cavalry had only knocked over one or two rows of thirty or forty Manchu soldiers, and the comrades behind them hacked at them with big knives, and all the prairie cavalry were killed in an instant.
