Dominate the Country

"Commander in chief, commander in chief, the sailors have blown up the pontoon bridge on the Salt River..."

"What about the infantry on the south road? Are there any of our infantry on the other side?"

Huang Jie received a report from the scouts. The explosion coming from the direction of the Yanyan River was indeed the result of the sailors. However, on the other side of the Yanyan River, the scouts did not find a large-scale Fuhan Army Lu Yong.

"Report this news to the Governor quickly." Huang Jie had no extra energy to pay attention to why the Fuhan Army on the South Road did not show up, but let the sailors fight alone. He was also not interested in knowing what the sailors did in order to break the five pontoon bridges. How many people had been lost, but now he only focused on the warship under his eyes.

The Musketeers Battalion easily defeated the 5,000 Qing troops, but they did not inflict too many casualties on the enemy. The Qing army's cavalry came out and the frontline troops who had just assumed a pursuit posture immediately stopped.

The Qing army's escape route left behind muskets all over the place, but the Fuhan army on the front line didn't take them too seriously. With the arrival of the Eight Banners cavalry, the five battalions of musketeers turned into five large hollow formations. Each large hollow array is composed of small hollow arrays. The hollow formation of the Fuhan Army was organized into teams. There are a large number of small mortars arranged inside.

Huang Jie ordered the third-line troops to continue to move forward, especially the artillery, to merge with the original second-line artillery team and the current first-line gun positions, and then the gun positions of the main gun positions also began to move forward one after another.

Buckets of clean water were poured on the barrel, and the hot barrel evaporated water vapor, blocking out the sun in the sky.

The Fu Han army and the Qing army were like this on both sides. As the artillery battle began, water became a very prominent issue. Especially at the beginning, the cannons on both sides fired heavier explosives.

Moreover, when the artillery battle progressed, the second-line artillery team that moved forward opened fire, and the artillery deployed by the Qing army in the rear was decisively moved to the front by Hailancha.

In Jiangyan Town, Miao Fuwei watched the Qing army's attack in front of him while mobilizing as many troops as possible, thinking about how to stab the Qing soldiers in the back when necessary. While the Qing army on the south road was dealing with the Fuhan army's fierce counterattack, they were also doing their best to repair the destroyed pontoon bridge.

Because of the tit-for-tat fight between the elites of the Fuhan Army and the elites of the Qing Army behind Jiangyan Town, with the defeat of five thousand Qing Army musketeers, and with the attack of the Eight Banners cavalry, they took advantage of the smoke-filled opportunity to sweep Fuhan's arms However, the spearmen were badly bruised in front of the hollow formation. They lost a few hundred men and had to retreat to the main force. The morale of the Qing army from Hailancha on down was greatly reduced. This duel turned out to be a bit anticlimactic. It’s trending.

Dai Peng was a native of Fenghuang City in Shengjing, an Oroqen ethnic group, and a member of the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. He was originally a bannerman of Fenghuang City. In the first year of Shunzhi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Fenghuang City Shouguan (zhengsanpin) was established, a military-political integrated agency, equivalent to the municipal government. Prefecture-level organization), in the 26th year of Kangxi, the Phoenix City Guard was established, with jurisdiction over eight flag offices of yellow, white, red and blue, under the jurisdiction of General Fengtian. Dai Peng belongs to Zhenghuang Banner. If there were no big changes, he would have stayed in Phoenix for the rest of his life. Dai Peng took advantage of Qianlong's opportunity to organize and train the Eight Banners New Army. He left Shengjing for the first time in twenty-five years of his life, and for the first time he truly knew how big the Qing Dynasty was.

After becoming a member of the Eight Banners New Army, Dai Peng trained hard and conscientiously, and soon he was appointed to the Shotgun Guard Military Academy. Although in terms of official position, he was only an eighth-rank sesame officer, the salary of the Eight Banners New Army was higher than His army is higher, and the money Dai Peng gets every month is as much as the deputy lieutenant. His family was originally an ordinary Eight Banners family, but now life has suddenly changed greatly. Dai Peng's loyalty to Emperor Qianlong can be said to be obvious. This time the Eight Banners New Army went south, and each person was given a reward of five taels of silver. This made the ordinary Eight Banners soldiers in the New Army excited and everyone burst into tears of gratitude. And he hated the Fuhan army who brought trouble to the Qing Dynasty even more deeply.

While marching forward to the sound of drums, Dai Peng secretly vowed in his heart that he must advance without retreating and be brave without fear of death. Slay the rebel bandits of the Fuhan Army and promote the military power of the Eight Banners disciples.

As a result, the Eight Banners New Army, which consisted of thousands of people, was hit with a barrage of explosive shells and was unable to lift its head. The fighting spirit of the Eight Banners New Army was indeed much stronger than that of the firearms battalion and shotgun troops on the side. During the shelling, there were still people shouting loudly to assemble, assemble, and assemble. , intending to counterattack the Han army array. Dai Peng is one of them.

Two of his musketeers were killed by explosive shells. Dai Peng was filled with anger and longed for revenge. But in the end, they fled in confusion under the neat volleys of guns of the Fuhan Army. Thanks to the response of the Eight Banners Cavalry, the loss of the five thousand musketeers was actually not very serious, but many of them lost their muskets, and now they were embarrassed to be empty-handed.

Dai Peng's musket was not lost, and his bayonet was well inserted into his waist, but he was sitting on the ground with a roar of fire in his heart. Not only was he angry with those friendly forces, he was also angry with himself. When the rows and rows of guns rained down on him, he really became timid.

Dai Peng didn't run very slowly when he was escaping. Now that he had calmed down, Dai Peng felt especially ashamed of his behavior.

So despite the fact that artillery shells were constantly falling in the Qing army's position and drums and trumpets were ringing in his ears all the time, he was not afraid at all. Shame can give people a lot of power. There is a Chinese idiom: know shame and then be brave. In the original time and space history, the late Qing Dynasty always had two or three years to work hard after being beaten again and again.

The anti-Party artillery of the Fuhan Army was very powerful, but Dai Peng was very calm and had no fear of the artillery shells in his heart. He felt as if he were at home, sitting on the ground with his head bowed, while one shell after another whizzed past his head. .

Amidst the loud military songs, the Fuhan Army's five advancing musketry battalions joined the three armored battalions that followed up, forming a frontal array with a banner more than five miles wide, approaching the Qing army's position.

Iron bullets roared, some were fired by artillery shells from the Qing soldiers, and some were fired at the Tatar positions from our own artillery. Along with the artillery, the passionate military songs in the army continued and became louder. Accompanied by the sound of drums, the Fuhan Army's subsequent military formations also continued to advance.

The huge sound of drums covered up the screams of the wounded and wounded soldiers, and also made the veterans at each battalion less afraid. Chen Wei took long steps and kept moving forward with the music. After the Battle of Wuxi, he rose to the top in one step and was directly transferred to the main battalion, although his position was only a battalion deputy.

He hopes to take the position of the main battalion officer based on his real merits, rather than having people 'suddenly realize' his last name.

In the Qing army camp, Hai Lancha's face showed the ferocity of fighting to the death, and a rough voice sounded: "...General Ben of each battalion personally supervised the battle. There will be no retreat in this battle; anyone who dares to retreat will be killed. …”

The whistling sound resounded all over the front, back, left and right of the Qing formation, and dense sabers and spears were raised high, standing like a forest.

Tong Chunshan, the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, personally led the formation. Thousands of horses neighed like a torrential flood, rushing towards the attacking Fuhan army from the flanks.

At the same time, directly in front of the Qing army, the reorganized musketeers once again formed a horizontal formation and attacked the Fuhan army. Behind these musketeers are a large number of elite Qing troops - hand-to-hand combat soldiers armed with swords and guns. In front of them are the reorganized death battalions and Shandong Lianyong who have just suppressed a wave of backlash, as well as those from Daming Town. Green camp. The artillery of the Qing army no longer had two purposes - bombarding the Fuhan army's signing troops with one end, and targeting the Fuhan army's artillery with the other. The same is true for the Fuhan army's artillery. Now their targets are completely unrestrained. On the formation of the Fuhan Army that came over.

After seeing clearly the layout of the Qing army, Huang Jie had a disdainful sneer on his face. I heard that Hailancha was also a general, but in fact it was nothing more than that.

He left four battalions to guard the artillery units, and he took the remaining four battalions behind the front line troops. Behind the musketeers arranged in layers, the armored troops were also well prepared. A complete Fuhan Army soldier, the armor on his body glowed coldly in the sun.

At this time, a sharp whistle sounded loudly to the front troops, and the order came: "Get ready for battle!"

The officers shouted orders one after another: "Get ready for battle!"

The military songs stopped and the drums sounded louder. The battalion officers at the head of each battalion stepped forward together, waved the swords in their hands and slammed forward, shouting with all their strength: "Tiger!"

Like them, the dense Fuhan army armored soldiers and musketeers also marched and shouted. The majestic roar echoed throughout the sky and spread to all directions.

The drums sounded again, and all Fuhan officers and soldiers stepped forward, mustering up all their strength for the second time and roaring: "Tiger!"

"Dong dong dong..." The sound of the drums was like thunder, which could be heard clearly even amidst the continuous sound of artillery. Everyone in the front army shouted for the third time: "Tiger!"

This was the three blows, three blows, three shouts, three advances, and three shouts of the tiger character used by the Qi family army two hundred years ago. Chen Ming felt that this style could greatly improve the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers before the battle, so he used it early in the Fuhan Army. Come.

Shouting with one voice, majestic slogans, and countless comrades beside us, it is an indescribable power. Only exists in the military. I don't know how many Fuhan Army recruits put aside the nervousness of the recruits' first battle in such shouts, and their whole bodies were filled with strength.

At this time, the Eight Banners cavalry, which came like a torrent, was not far from the left flank of the Fuhan Army's infantry formation.

At noon on October 3, the battle between the Fuhan Army and the Qing Army entered the second stage - duel and death battle.

The death camp soldiers brought by Hailancha and Shandong Lianyong were also forced by the Qing army's musketeers at this time, and they rushed towards the Fuhan Army's front line.

The Fuhan Army had no parapets, ramparts, fences, antlers, nor ravines or horse traps. The formation on the flat ground still used thin flanks to correspond to the Eight Banners cavalry. Chunshan held a big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "As long as it is Men, all come together with Pontus and kill, kill all the rebels..."

"Athletes of the Eight Banners, protect our Qing Dynasty!"

"Athletes of the Eight Banners, protect our Qing Dynasty!"

In the flash of lightning, Chun Shan's mind flashed and he shouted a slogan that greatly boosted the morale of the Eight Banners cavalry. Just like the Fuhan Army shouted "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger--" the Eight Banners were also very willing to put themselves on the important task of protecting the Qing Dynasty. "Athletes of the Eight Banners, protect our Qing Dynasty!"

"kill--"

The horses neighed, the people shouted, and the cavalry advanced rapidly. Soon they were 200 steps away from the left wing of the Fuhan Army. Then they saw the Fuhan Army's gun battalion on the left, which was striding forward. The queue suddenly changed. , the person on the side took five steps back, the person on the inside quickened the pace, and all of a sudden the long snake turned into terraced fields for shoes.

"Bang bang bang..." Amidst the whistle, gunfire rang out. Compared with the sound of the cannon, the sound of the gunfire was as crisp as beans fried in oil, with the soybeans bursting into bloom.
