This Qing is wrong

Chapter 136 Where should I go in Huanghuang Daqing?
"Who is the commander-in-chief of Xiyi on the opposite side?"

"Reporting to the prince, the person we sent to negotiate said that the other party claimed to be Lin Dengwan Ying."

"Linden Wanying?
Is it a double surname? "

Shang Kexi asked with a puzzled expression.

He had not heard of the double surname Lyndon.

"No, no, my lord, the names of these Xiyi are different from ours. Their surname comes after the first name. That Yingying is his surname, and Lin Dengwan is his first name."

Shang Kexi nodded slightly, and did not continue to entangle in such a small issue.

"Since that Lin Dengwan is willing to communicate with us, why does he have to fight us?
Could it be that Lin Dengwan didn't know that he was in the land of the Qing Dynasty? "

Before starting the war, Shang Kexi naturally had to figure out who his opponent was, or at least understand why the war started.

The most important thing is that Shang Kexi needs to find out whether the opponent is a war puppet thrown by the demon Daoist Li Changqing.

Shang Kexi, after learning that the enemy on the opposite side can communicate and is commanded by a well-known commander, the worries in his heart have eased a lot.

After all, the puppet summoned by the demon Dao Li Changqing cannot have a commander, or the commander can only be the demon Dao Li Changqing himself.

Those war puppets will not stay in a distant formation honestly, and even negotiate with the Qing army!
Based on Shang Kexi's understanding of the war puppets summoned by the demon Taoist Li Changqing, the fight had already started before he left Zhaoqing Mansion.

Therefore, Shang Kexi eliminated most of his doubts about the summoning of the war puppets by the demon Taoist Li Changqing.

The remaining half came from - where did the Xiyi army on the opposite side come from?

These Xiyi troops seemed to have descended out of nowhere, Shang Kexi couldn't help being suspicious.

Most importantly, Shang Kexi didn't understand why they were ready to start a war as soon as they came up.

It also threatened the Qing army, which was far more numerous than them, to surrender!
Shang Kexi's question is destined to be unanswered. Lin Dengwan can beat whoever he wants, and he needs a reason?
"My lord, what should we do now?"

A Qing soldier beside Shang Kexi all asked.

"Of course it is to encircle and suppress these rampant Xiyi, is it possible that they really promised to surrender?

But after the fight, remember to catch some survivors and ask them about their origins. "

Now that the Qing army has an absolute advantage, Shang Kexi will naturally not compromise.

Even if the demon Dao Li Changqing came, what Shang Kexi was afraid of was not the wave or even several waves of war puppets summoned by the demon Dao Li Changqing, but what Shang Kexi was really afraid of was the unlimited summoning ability of the demon Dao Li Changqing.

Under Shang Kexi's order, the sound of war drums sounded from the rear of the Qing army, and the long sound of horns spread across the field.

The soldiers of the Qing army, who were sitting on the ground resting, got up one after another under the orders of the military officers, and arranged their weapons and armor.

These Qing troops were resting in formation, maintaining a battle formation, but the soldiers did not stand but sat on the ground to rest.

After all, standing with a helmet on and armor on is very exhausting. They naturally try to conserve their energy during non-combat periods.

Otherwise, when the fight starts, everyone will be sweating profusely from exhaustion. Wouldn't the fighting power be broken?
On the other side, British Lin Dengwan heard the horn sound from the Qing army, and said to himself with a gloomy face: "These cunning pigtails dare to violate the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

I must kill every living person with pigtails on the back of their heads and show them that the honor of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shall not be offended! "

Compared to the Japanese Lindenwan, this British Lindenwan is much more gentlemanly. At least he didn't kill their envoys in front of the Qing army, and even roasted human legs in public...

Even a very 'gentleman' gave a day to surrender.

Of course, for the generals of the Qing army, this is not a gentleman but a blatant insult.

It's a pity that the systemic enemy army, who is not afraid of death, never knows what a strong enemy is. In their eyes, the living people here are scum.

All the living people should lay down their weapons when they encounter their army, contribute their own living supplies, and help the systematic enemy army drive to Li Changqing's position.

This is the inherent thinking of Lin Dengwan.

It is also the root cause of their frequent deaths.

In fact, this kind of intelligence improvement is still fundamentally different from the wisdom of living people.

Under the order of the British Lindenwan, the 2000 British red shirts were immediately divided into three battle formations, corresponding to the Qing troops from the left and right wings and the front.

That's right, the British Lin Dengwan had seen the semi-encirclement trend of the Qing army to them through the telescope, but he was fearless and didn't care.

How could Lin Dengwan retreat?

Even with one against ten, Lin Dengwan is fearless.

Lin Dengwan did not evenly distribute the 2000 British red shirts to the three formations. The frontal formation has a scale of 500 men, and the two wings have a scale of [-] men.

The British Lindenwan's tactics are very simple. Let the teams on the two wings block the Qing army that is outflanking, and the frontal horizontal formation penetrates the opposite Qing army's central army and wins.

This simple tactic is naturally based on Linden Wan's confidence in the victory of his red shirts.

Soon, Shang Kexi saw the British Red Shirts in the distance through the binoculars, and they were divided into three battle formations.

form a triangle.

The phalanxes on the two wings were a little behind, protecting the sides of the main force of the Chinese army, and advancing together with the main force of the Chinese army.

However, viewed from the front, the phalanx on the two wings is not a horizontal battle formation, but a column phalanx.

This column phalanx can aim its guns at the Qing army on both wings that outflanked the past in a more timely manner.

As for the British Lin Dengwan, he followed behind the front line of thousands of people and walked together.

British Lindenwan also wore a gaudy red shirt uniform. Although there were ribbons and medals of honor hanging on it, it was impossible to see clearly from a distance. It was difficult to recognize the identity of the British commander Lindenwan.

The figure of British Linden Wan is well hidden in the British Red Shirt Army array.

From this point of view, it is much safer than Linden Wan in Japan.

Of course, in the eyes of all the veterans of the Qing army, this tactic was nothing.

The difference in the strength of the two sides was too great, and the Qing army did not think that they would lose.

The morale of the Qing army was high, and naturally they would not pay attention to the Xiyi army on the opposite side, let alone what the rice flag represented.

What Li Changqing put out was the Red Shirt Army of Great Britain's global colonial period.

"fire!"

Not surprisingly, the Qing army with artillery took the lead in outputting, firing some unreliable shells around the British Red Shirts' phalanx, and at most one or two of ten rounds could hit the British Red Shirts' horizontal formation.

The Qing army in charge of the attack had firecrackers with turtledove foot firecrackers and bird blunderbuss in the front row, archers in the back row, and spearmen in the back row.

Because not all of Shang Kexi's tens of thousands of troops were elite, and the auxiliary soldiers accounted for nearly half of them, so the elite soldiers for the three battles were not dispatched.

Even the auxiliary soldiers under the command of the Pingnan Palace are comparable to the ordinary green battalion of the Qing army.

The fighting power is not bad.

These auxiliary soldiers were mainly recruited by Yu Ding from the Han Eight Banners family directly under the Pingnan Palace. Although they did not have a formal establishment, they also came from the Han Eight Banners family.

The Eight Banners has never been a professional army, but a military group.

Facing the sporadic shelling with poor aim, the horizontal formation of the British Red Shirts was not affected at all. It was not until they were within a hundred paces that they were attacked by the Qing army's muskets, bows and arrows.

The uniforms worn by the British red shirt soldiers are gorgeous, but their protective performance is not as good as that of the Japanese elite ashigaru, and the casualties under the rain of arrows are no less than those hit by lead bullets.

Commander Lindenwan of the United Kingdom immediately issued a new order after seeing such a large number of casualties on his own side. The red shirts in front of the horizontal formation no longer pursue close-range platoons of guns, but divide into two rows and adopt Xu Jin shooting method.

It's just going forward and firing guns.

Sure enough, after the Qing army's projectile troops were baptized by the British Red Shirts' volley of guns, their formation immediately became chaotic.

After all, there were soldiers constantly falling to the ground and even crying in pain, which dealt a considerable blow to the morale of the soldiers of the Qing army.

However, because the base of the front row of the Qing army was large enough, the military officers tried their best to suppress them, and they could still maintain the continuous output of firepower.

In this way, the two sides fought several rounds under the Xu Jin shooting method of the British Red Shirts!

When the British Red Shirts advanced to within 50 steps with huge casualties, the Qing troops on both wings felt that the time had come and launched a fierce attack on the defense lines on the two wings of the British Red Shirts main formation.

The gunfire on the battlefield suddenly became more intense.

However, Shang Kexi, who was holding a binoculars behind him, became more and more ugly.

Because he found that the British Red Shirt Army on the opposite side was exactly the same as the puppet summoned by the demon Taoist Li Changqing!
Despite the huge casualties, they were still able to maintain a consistent pace of advancing guns, and the Qing army array, which had beaten several times as many people as them, retreated steadily!

That's right, as the platoons of the British Red Shirts continued to advance and oppress, the soldiers in the front row of the Qing army realized that the closer the distance between the two sides, the more terrifying their own casualties. Allies behind.

The friendly troops behind also had to retreat.

This time the Qing army's confidence in victory was too strong, so they did not issue strict orders to supervise the battle at all. The soldiers in the back row did not get the order to kill the retreating soldiers, so naturally they would not attack the comrades in front.

As a result, when the soldiers in the front row were retreating, the entire Chinese army formation was pressing back!

Just like that, a mere few hundred British Red Shirts pressed forward against the thousands of Qing troops.

The gunners and archers of the Qing army in the front row have already been disrupted, and fewer and fewer soldiers can calm down and fight back. Even the middle and low-level military officers are frightened by the terrifying volley of guns, constantly looking for opportunities to survive .

As the No.1 Qing soldiers dropped their weapons and escaped from the formation, more and more Qing soldiers began to run away.

When Shang Kexi saw this scene, he couldn't help being stunned and regretful.

He regretted not sending a strict supervisory team to kill the deserters!

But who would have thought that the Qing army, with such a huge advantage, would be defeated by the opposing Xiyi army in a confrontation?

"Withdraw the people from the front line, and the reserve team of [-] people on the second front will go up!"

Shang Kexi ordered with a gloomy face.

At the same time, the Qing army, which was outflanking on both wings, failed to make a breakthrough, and even had a close to one-to-one casualty ratio with the British Red Shirts under the advantage of several times their strength.

The Qing soldiers who launched the charge were repelled wave after wave. The corpses of the Qing soldiers on the battlefield were piled up layer by layer, which was horrible.

The Qing army never expected that they would fight such a tragic battle against a mere [-] Xiyi troops and still fight in a relatively flat wilderness.

Of course, there is the advantage of the rate of fire of the British Red Shirts' flintlock guns, and the fast-paced volley of guns brought about by the spirit of fearlessness, but the most important thing is that the Qing army underestimated the enemy.

Especially the generals of the Qing army on the two wings, who thought they could knock down hundreds of people standing in front of them in one charge, but they didn't expect that the second round, the third round, and the fourth round... could not crush their opponents!

Every time the Qing army charged, the casualties reached about [-]%, and they couldn't move.

On the other hand, the Xiyi soldiers on the opposite side had more than half of their casualties, and they were still able to maintain a uniform row of guns and deal tons of damage.

After the second ten-man formation sent on the frontal battlefield arrived at the front line, Lindenwan looked at the remaining troops on his side and knew that they could no longer afford a new round of consumption.

The British Lindenwan, who would not admit defeat, ordered a bayonet charge simply and neatly.

The British Red Shirts guarding the two wings automatically merged into one place to protect the rear wings of the charging British Red Shirts and prevent the British Red Shirts from being trapped by the two sides.

As a result, the British Red Shirts followed the retreating Qing army and crashed into it with their bayonets straight out, without giving the ten-thousand-strong Qing army a chance to exert their superiority in firepower.

Such a brave British Red Shirt Army instantly overwhelmed the soldiers in the phalanx of ten thousand people of the Qing Army.

This is hundreds of people charging towards the army formation of tens of thousands!
Isn't this the same as sending to death?

In the phalanx of [-] people serving as the reserve team, the proportion of elite soldiers in the three battles of the Han army, which only belonged to Shang Kexi, was still very high, so naturally they would not be scared away by the bayonet charge of hundreds of lunatics.

The two sides fought fiercely on the chaotic battlefield.

And the generals of the Qing army who made a detour to outflank the past also received a strict order from Shang Kexi, requiring them to launch a general offensive to encircle and wipe out the enemy army on both sides.

As the British Red Shirts were bullied and wiped out by the Qing army one by one, there were fewer and fewer guards around the British Linden Wan, until the entire compressed front of the British Red Shirts was completely infiltrated and cut by the Qing Army. Wan had no choice but to pull out his command knife and go off in person.

Not long after, the British Lin Dengwan was hacked into mutilated corpses by several Qing soldiers after all the guards around him were killed.

The next moment, the remaining British Red Shirts and the corpses disappeared, leaving the soldiers of the Qing army who were in the final encirclement battle stunned in horror.

After seeing this scene through the binoculars, Shang Kexi shivered unnaturally.

At this moment, all previous speculations were overturned, and Shang Kexi was extremely sure that these Xiyi troops annihilated by him were war puppets summoned by the demon Daoist Li Changqing!

"too frightening!

Now the war puppets summoned by the demon Taoist Li Changqing can not only ignore the distance limit, but can also command themselves. How can Huanghuang Daqing deal with such a heaven-defying monster! "
