Chongzhen Undergraduates

Two torches were lit and waved crosswise at the city gate.After a while, torches were also lit up on the top of the city gate, and they were waving crosswise in the same movement.

"Report to the emperor, the signal has been connected." The Ming army's set of connection codes is complicated in this era, and it is definitely not as simple as three circles to the left and three circles to the right.

"Are you sure there will be no mistakes?" Zhu Youjian asked again.

"It's sure, we're using a specific communication code, and Jin Bing is still unable to decipher it." The Ming army's message transmission has multiple sets of secret keys, even if it obtains information, it may not be able to decipher it.

"Then go to the city as planned." Zhu Youjian ordered decisively.

When the [-] elite troops from outside the city entered the city, Liu Liangzuo's [-] elite cavalry had already controlled all Liu Liangzuo's trusted generals under strict organization.

Just kidding, if Zhu Youjian asked Liu Liangzuo to use Zhu Youjian's direct lineage to train Liu Liangzuo's private army under his nose, then Zhu Youjian might as well die sooner.

As early as when the cavalry was reorganized, Zhu Youjian sent a large number of young soldiers from General Shan's lineage into Liu Liangzuo's subordinates, and it took more than two years to infiltrate the entire team.

This cavalry has completely changed from weapons and equipment to training methods to tactics. Can it still be a traditional cavalry! ?

In the city of Suqian, where the Twenty Thousand Han and Eight Banners are stationed, the banquet has reached its climax.A group of soldiers dressed as the Ming Army kept carrying wine jars into the camp, and quickly withdrew out after putting down the jars.

"Brother, your subordinates are really fucking obedient." Liu Liangchen admired sincerely.

"Of course. This is the best source of soldiers that Chongzhen spent a lot of energy selecting in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to train them, they have to ask their masters to teach them how to read every day. Many of them were scholars before!" Liu Liangzuo showed off triumphantly.

"Teach Qiu Ba to read?" Liu Liangchen was very surprised, this kind of thing had never been heard before.

"What! Don't you believe it? Any of my soldiers can be admitted as a scholar if they are pulled out."

"Hahaha, brother, you are too good at bragging. I believe you say they can write their own names, but I don't believe you can say that everyone can take the exam for talent." Liu Liangchen felt that his brother bragging was a bit too much.

"I'll tell you secretly, all of my soldiers know how to play with firecrackers, and that Zhu Youjian said that he will equip these cavalry with a short-barreled firecracker in the future."

"Cavalry use firecrackers? Brother, you didn't drink too much, did you?"

"I knew you didn't believe me. Come on, go to my barracks and call a company of soldiers over to show my brother a game of firecrackers."

The news that Liu Liangzuo was going to send a company to perform for his younger brother spread quickly, and the head of the Ming army who was in charge of the main attack immediately decided to follow suit.

After a while, a group of soldiers from the Ming Army came to Jin Bing's camp on horseback and stood opposite the Liu family brothers.

"May I ask why the commander asked me to come here?" The leading officer was not Liu Liangzuo's confidant, but he also knew him.Originally, he wanted to replace this person, but he was afraid that his younger brother would make fun of him.

"Show me our firearms." After Liu Liangzuo finished speaking, he made a standard shooting action, showing that he was also very professional.

"Yes." The officer got on his horse and started preparing with the soldiers behind him.Everyone vacated a large open space, and the target was ahead.These riders turned on their horses as if to charge towards the target.

"Drive!" The group of soldiers did not shoot with firecrackers, but rang the thunder one by one, emitting green smoke.

"Brother, it seems that your subordinates are young children. It's too far to fire a firecracker at such a distance, can you get it by throwing the Thunderbolt?" Liu Liangchen looked at the ignited Thunderbolt and shook his head.

"Of course I can. Huh? Shocking Thunder?" Liu Liangzuo answered the words in a daze, but felt that something was wrong.

"Plop." Just as he was speaking, several thunderbolts were thrown over.One of the Zhentianlei just hit the steamed meat plate on the table, and it stuck to the steamed meat, and the smoke was almost gone.

"I'm fucked." Liu Liangzuo woke up suddenly, and hurriedly crawled under the table.

"Boom..." A series of explosions sounded, the place where the brothers of the Liu family ate was overturned, and the entire barracks became chaotic in an instant.Liu Liangchen's bald head was covered with soup, and he wobbled on a piece of wood and tried to stand up.He lasted for a long time and finally fell backwards.

"Kill the dog and the traitor!" There were shouts of killing outside the barracks and throughout Suqian City, and the Han Eight Banners soldiers who had been concentrated were caught off guard.Although they are also powerful in combat, they do not have the upper hand against the elite divisions of the Ming army.

"Pass down the order, not a single traitor army will be left in the city, and our army will not accept surrender." Zhu Youjian did not enter the city, he said coldly looking at the burning Suqian city.

If the Han troops in Huai'an who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty were forced northern Han people, then Liu Liangchen's Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were already the real hardcore Jin troops.

After so many years, these people no longer see themselves as Chinese. Such people are even more blind to Han people than the Eight Banners.

There are only a few real Eight Banners soldiers, and the entire Central Plains was captured by these Han Eight Banners with the help of the Tartars. It is not wrong to kill them at all.

"Boom, boom..." There were explosions everywhere in this barracks, and fires were burning everywhere.The war horses of the Jin soldiers were the latest focus of the Ming army's attack, and these Jin soldiers were in a dinner party state, so there was no time to defend them.

They were repeatedly charged round after round by the Ming cavalry that had already been prepared, and they couldn't even gather a decent formation.

Of course, the pots and pans carried into the barracks before were all gunpowder, and they were reserved for the defenders to resist the golden soldiers.Well now, they finally came in handy.

The battle lasted all night, and at dawn, the heavy snow stopped again, and the battle gradually subsided.At this time, Zhu Youjian rode a horse and slowly entered the city.

"Transport the corpses of these enemies outside the city, gather them together and burn them." Zhu Youjian looked at these corpses, which should be regarded as Han people, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Chapter 373: Tenth of Jianghuai Great Battle

The Ming army took the opportunity to clean up Suqian, and they absolutely did not dare to stay in Suqian.Suqian is sandwiched between Huai'an and Xuzhou, and going north is a dead end. Zhu Youjian can only withdraw to the southwest.

Looking at a map during a war is definitely not as easy as looking at driving directions in our future generations.The reason for hitting Suqian is to take advantage of the canal. Along the west bank of the canal all the way north, there are enough boats to build pontoon bridges to cross the river.

However, the main force of the Eastern Front of the Golden Army led by Hauge arrived in Suqian City and was still worried about crossing various rivers in the Guannan area.

When the Suqian battle report was sent to Dorgon, Dorgon immediately made major adjustments to the deployment of troops.Duoduo unified command of the entire Jianghuai army, and transferred [-] troops from the central army to go south to Nikan, flanking Fengyang to prevent the main force of the Ming army from fleeing west; Attack Yangzhou.

At this time, the occupation suddenly became clear, and Jin Bing's west and middle roads were feints.Hauge's East Army is the main force of the Golden Army. The main force is not the army with the largest number of troops, but the army with the strongest combat power.

The entire Hauge army is the elite army at the bottom of the box after gold. After shaving off those miscellaneous cards that attacked Huai'an, and the 2 people lost in Suqian City, plus the 28 elite reinforcements from Duoduo, Hauge's Now there are [-] elites.In addition, it also brought a full supply of [-] four-wheeled carriages, which can be said to be overwhelming the south of the Yangtze River.

Hauge's army marched forward in the snow, and the vanguard arrived at the city of Huai'an five days later.Hauge, who originally thought he would defend the city heavily, saw a strange army wearing golden soldier clothes, but with shaved hair and a bright flag on the top of the city.

"Go, send a servant to the city to persuade them to surrender. Tell the defenders that if they don't surrender, they will be killed." Hauge probably also thought of who these defenders were, and he guessed that they were probably a few Hou Jin who surrendered to the Ming army. He didn't care about surrendering troops.

Before Hauge himself arrived in Huai'an, he ordered people to incorporate Huai'an City. He thought that when he arrived in Huai'an, he would be able to enter the city and have a house to live in, which would be better than living in a tent in the snow.

Originally, these soldiers belonged to the second-rate army under his leadership, and now they have repeatedly surrendered to the Ming army. Such an army has no loyalty at all.

The Jin soldiers who persuaded them to surrender walked down to the city carelessly, and then saw a few familiar faces, and they were familiar faces they had often bullied before.

"Dog slaves, grandpa ordered you to open the city gate immediately. If you are slow, be careful of your dog's life." The leading Jin Bing raised his neck, with the attitude of an uncle.

"Head, what shall we do?" The soldiers on the top of the city were terrified to death, they were very afraid of the power of the golden soldiers.

"Does any of you want to surrender?" The guards were not even generals at all, and they were called "Boss" by everyone.

"I want to surrender, but I'm afraid that those Tartars will settle their accounts after the autumn, and my life will be lost. Didn't the emperor say that if we don't want to defend the city, we can continue to go south, or we should run away quickly." A soldier murmured softly.

"I want to surrender too, but the golden soldiers are so fierce that they behead their heads. They have horses, and we can't outrun them." An honest-looking soldier interjected.

"Then those of you who want to surrender first open the city gate to meet the people below the city, and see their attitude." The leader of the city had a plan and tricked a few timid and honest people to surrender first.

Just as the people in the city were discussing whether to surrender or run away, the Jin soldiers under the city became impatient.These Eight Banners have never been treated like this by the people in the city.

The city gate was opened, but only a dozen or so timid people came out without weapons.They looked left and right, nodded and bowed humbly to the Eight Banners outside the city with a timid look.

"Slave dog, what are you dawdling around in the city for so long?"
