Lord of Ming Dynasty

The corpses were piled up in piles, and many peasants were carrying the corpses, and then piled up firewood on the camp ground, and threw the corpses into the fire one by one.

Around the school grounds of the big camp, one by one at the entrance of the tents sat or lay down, or leaned on crutches, or leaned on weapons, with ashen complexions, silently watching the civilian husbands burning the corpses of former comrades-in-arms.

The tough men couldn't help but shed tears, can't they be sad?Maybe at night, maybe tomorrow, I will also become a corpse, thrown into the blazing fire, and turned into ashes.

The entire camp fell silent in mourning.

"Why, why, we always serve as cannon fodder for them in the front, we are also citizens of the Qing Dynasty!" an officer shouted loudly in the barracks. Everyone didn't think it before, and they were silent in grief. After going over and over again, everyone turned to him before carefully chewing on his meaning, with expressions of deep sympathy.

In the far corner, Tian Bin told a green battalion soldier beside him: "Go to the other camps and give the Lord a strong encouragement. You must make all the camps mess up, you know?"

"Yes, Sir General." The green battalion soldiers quickly looked around, then turned and disappeared among the tents. No one saw them, because even the Manchu Qing soldiers who watched them had already been turned into ashes. There were only less than a thousand soldiers in the green camp led by Bin. When it was the strongest, there were five thousand green camp soldiers and two hundred Manzhou soldiers.

In several other green camps, there are also intelligence personnel developed by Tian Bin secretly contacting, agitating, and operating.

For a time, the entire Qing army camp, even the Han army flag, was full of people's hearts, and they were in a state of panic all day long.

It is said that there are 30 troops, but in fact, more than half of them are already covered with wounds, and many of them have turned into corpses.

The only ones who survived were the Manying and the Hanjun Qizhong Military Camp directly under Boluo and Hong Chengchou. The other camps, even if they were full, were full of wounded, and there was a lot of wailing.

Many tents and camps have been divided up by other battalions. The most serious ones are the Jinling Green Camp, Ji'an Mansion, and Huizhou Mansion's green camp soldiers from Jinling who are the main force of this cannon fodder attack. The rest were pressed on the front line by a full battalion of soldiers and horses, and they were attacking the first line of defense in Raozhou Prefecture City, and the casualties continued to increase.

The first line of defense supported by artillery fire from the head of the city is much better than the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who are on the first line of defense five miles away from the city. Besides, here, the first line of defense, under the city wall, is full of musketeers and more artillery.

There were very few Qing troops who could rush into the last trench to fight hand-to-hand.

Most of them were knocked down after rushing to within 50 meters.

There are dense bullets at more than 100 meters, bows and crossbows at 70 to 50 meters, and stones thrown by soldiers and javelin attacks at 30 meters. Another day of siege has caused the Qing army to fall down 3 corpses again. , [-] people were injured, and there were also results. All the organs and obstacles of the first line of defense were destroyed. The artillery fired at each other caused serious damage to the artillery of the first line of defense, and the firepower was reduced. The Qing army had the opportunity to rush into the trenches to fight hand-to-hand That's all.

Even if there are still gratifying Musketeers harassing left and right, and Kong Youde's Musketeers attacking from the front, it will only increase some casualties, and they have not yet reached the point where they have to abandon the first line of defense.

Happily, after fighting for a long time, Shang Kexi's troops retreated, and within an hour, Kong Youde's troops also retreated.

The Qing army, which lost its fire support, was knocked down by thousands of people in an instant, and had to retreat to regroup.

Then the Manchu generals flew to report to Hong Chengchou and Boluo in the camp.

But Hong Chengchou and Boluo were already furious at Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's unauthorized retreat. After Shang Kexi and Kong Youde reported, they had not come up with a decision when they heard someone report that Shang Kexi had retreated and moved the camp.

When the order was issued again, neither of them came to see them, but stepped up to move the camp.

Hong Chengchou had to push the remaining cannons to the front of the second line of defense, and fired at the artillery at the head of the Huaxia Army.

This is close, the artillery at the top of the city is condescending and can hit very far, so the artillery of the Qing army is rapidly losing, two hundred, one hundred, and at last only fifty artillery.

When Boluo dispatched a full battalion of supervisors, even the troops of the Han Army Banner did not want to attack.

The casualties were too heavy.

Boluo roared angrily and personally led the attack. A full battalion of [-] troops led the attack with [-] Han army flag troops.

Only then did the first line of defense feel the pressure.

Feng Wuyu had no choice but to order the artillery to start withdrawing into the city, and the Musketeers covered the wounded and gave up the line of defense to retreat one after another.

After getting the news, Brother Zhu ordered the first line of defense at the other two city gates to retreat.Soon the rest of the Huaxia Army with three lines of defense withdrew into the city.

There were still [-] troops defending the front gate's defense line, because Feng Wuyu was retreating with his guards, many forts were blown up, and the cannons were pulled into the city.

When Feng Wuyu boarded the city wall and watched from the city gate tower, the Qing army had already pushed into the first trench and fought hand-to-hand with the rest of the broken troops. There were Musketeers of the Huaxia Army.

In line with the purpose of retreating as much as possible, Feng Wuyu ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to fight back, and at the same time directed the artillery to bombard the densely populated areas of the enemy.

The moonlight was like a hook, and when it hung in the sky, two thousand Huaxia troops finally withdrew into the city. After the battle, more than 5000 Huaxia troops and more than 2000 wounded soldiers from the city were buried in the first line of defense outside the city.

Like the roar of a weeping giant, the cannons at the top of the city participated in the retaliatory counterattack against the Qing army.

The Qing army suffered heavy casualties and lost all their cannons, while Shang Kexi and Kong Youde at the East Gate were a little sad because their cannons also lost a lot due to the enemy's retaliatory counterattack in the city. Two hundred cannons, after several battles, Only less than fifty doors were lost.

Eighty thousand Han army flags, more than 3 casualties, the soldiers and horses of the two of them shrank rapidly, and their tears wet the skirts for the first time.

"Oh my God, is this the devil or the army, why do they have such good artillery, they can shoot so far, why can their guns shoot so far, and those guys are so accurate, how can we fight them in the future? "

Just as Kong Youde wanted to express his thoughts, he heard the scout galloping towards him, "Report to my lord, the Huaxia army is less than five miles away from our army, and the cavalry has already outflanked our rear."

"Ah," as if being choked by the throat, Shang Kexi's expression was ugly as hell.

"Quickly, quickly, withdraw the troops, cover the cavalry, and abandon the luggage of other troops, advance lightly, and don't allow the enemy to encircle them." Kong Youde didn't care about consolation, but he was happy.

Shang Kexi didn't care about the mourning, jumped on the horse, and ran quickly to his barracks.

The camp of the Jinling Qing army far away in the other direction was in chaos, because their scouts also received news of the enemy's arrival. The Jinling Qing army, which had already had ten battalions and nine empty battalions, couldn't care less about being sad, and dropped the corpses and the camp , Even the wounded are ignored, a group of generals led the troops and passed through the camp, the generals who did not come back and the green camp of the Qing army were ignored, the flag of the Han army, hehe, no matter who told you to kill Lao Tzu in the back, now you know how it feels Come on, you're chasing after a battalion of Qing soldiers, and it's too late to run now.

In the wilderness just after nightfall, tens of thousands of capable Qing troops fled in all directions, all over the mountains and plains.

In this way, the Qing army brought by Hong Chengchou escaped except for 10,000+, nearly 20 dead and wounded Qing soldiers, leaving only the big camp, the green camp, the heroic flag camp, which was uninformed, still swaying in the storm, and sent troops to suppress it The full battalion of soldiers shuttled fiercely between the battalions.

Hong Chengchou and Boluo are still angry about Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's unauthorized relocation of the camp, and are still arguing about whether to retreat or continue to attack in one go.

After repelling the first line of defense of the Huaxia Army, Boluo returned to the camp with some Qing soldiers, and then fell into a quarrel with Hong Chengchou.

In the dark, Huang Tao wiped out all the 20 Qing troops returning to transport food and grass, and captured [-] civilians and [-] shi of food and grass. Huang Tao had just received a report from the cavalry scout troops sent by Zhang Qiang who was looking for them. The Qing army came from behind.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...... Fleeing, but no intention to gather troops.

Baggage, food, artillery, civilian husbands, and wounded soldiers all fell into the hands of Zhang Qiang's cavalry brigade.

In the wilderness, the sound of horns sounded, and more troops were running fast all day and night. These were four field brigades and one guard brigade led by Zhang Qiang.

They are still fifteen miles away from the capital city of Raozhou.

"Hey, don't let the enemy run away. Soldiers, work hard. After tonight, I will let you have a three-day holiday. Double ringing. If you catch a soldier from the green battalion, you will get a tael of silver. A Mongolian soldier will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, a Manchurian soldier will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, those below the general will be rewarded with a promotion, and those above the general will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and a Raozhou Prefecture Battle Medal."

Zhang Qiang shouted to the soldiers beside him while running.

"Wow, that's great, get out of the way, and no one will say anything." I don't know that the reckless guy pushed Zhang Qiang's horse away, and then ran forward like crazy. Now the team is in chaos. All the Huaxia soldiers who could run ran away, and even more than half of the cavalry around Zhang Qiang ran away.

Seeing that he was pushed, Zhang Qiang raised his neighing horse in pain, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that no matter how benevolent and righteous, it is not as straightforward as the official and Qian. Who is this guy? He is so strong and he runs fast. .”

But Hong Chengchou was not so happy and sighed, he didn't even have a chance to sigh.

He was pressed on the horse by the soldiers, and then ran away pulling the rein.

Because Bagyaru's second cavalry brigade had rushed into the Qing army's camp, setting fire and hacking everywhere, no matter how stupid or wise, he knew that if he didn't run away now, he was waiting to die or be caught.

And Boluo was embraced by his own soldiers, and quickly disappeared into the night.
