Lord of Ming Dynasty

The 2000 soldiers include at least [-] elite soldiers from Liu Guoxuan, [-] soldiers from the Qing army who took refuge here, and a small army of [-] from the rebel army. The old and weak soldiers were brave, and such a force of [-] was defeated by the enemy. Li Guo was so angry and angry.

Chapter 5 and One: The Way out of the Loyalty Camp

Li Guo kicked over the grand master's chair in the hall of the government office, patted the table and said, "It's too much bullying, who is leading the Qing army?"

Gao Jie said: "It's the monkey boy Duolong, Babutai, and Ma Bao, a Han soldier. I heard that Ma Bao was a soldier of the Tantai tribe. He was captured together with He Luohui and has been serving hard labor in the Chinese army. Camp to do hard labor.

Later, he pretended to join him, and Lin Yang, who was in charge of the punishment camp, gave him the position of head supervisor and asked him to serve as a guard in the prisoner camp, but when Shang Kexi fled that time, he rebelled.

Supporting Shang Kexi's escape, and then he fled to Chongming Island in Lu State, and Shang Kexi went in the opposite direction, allowing Shang Kexi's escape to cover his escape. "

I heard that after that time, Zhang Qiang, the governor of the Huaxia Army, scolded Lin Chengcheng severely, and transferred Liu Liangzuo to the punishment camp as a deputy director of the punishment camp to distribute his powers, but Liu Liangzuo didn't want to work in the punishment camp. , only stayed for less than half a year, then returned to the battlefield, served as the general of the army, and continued to guard Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province, but Zhang Qiang never dismissed his position as the deputy director of the punishment battalion. At that time, he brought 20 captives to Hubei Province.

One hundred thousand was handed over to Tang Dianfeng, the governor of Huzhou and Guangzhou, one hundred thousand was brought to Hubei Province and handed over to Governor Gu Yuesheng, and now he is the garrison commander of Jiangxi Prefecture, um, the garrison commander is equivalent to the commander of the guards of the Ming Dynasty, commanding a province Guard troops.

Maybe he felt that the more he said, the more reasonable he was, so he immediately turned back to the topic, "After Ma Bao fled, he kept his name anonymous and served as a small general on Chongming Island in Lu State. This time Hong Chengchou rebelled, he appeared again. We took refuge again, and Hong Chengchou reused him and made him the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, leading the Qing soldiers and the Han army banner to follow the two Manchu clans of Duolong and Babutai to attack us."

Gao Yigong said: "General, the enemy is an all-firearms force, but it is comparable to the firearms force of the Huaxia Army. In terms of combat effectiveness, we can't beat them. There are [-] firearms troops alone. Troops, not to mention Babutai's [-] Manchu Qing troops, Duolong's [-] Manchu Qing infantry, Ma Bao himself has a [-]-strong Han army flag, these [-] troops are worth our [-] troops! .”

Li Guo roared angrily: "What are you panicking about? Don't we also have firearms troops? Three hundred Ming and Qing cannons, more than 20 six-pounders captured from the Huaxia Army, ten nine-pounders, five ten-pounders, and 1 pieces of Jinkai 2 matchlock guns captured from the Huaxia Army, [-] pieces of Jinkai [-] matchlock guns, and [-] shotguns from the Qing army, [-] three-eye guns from the Ming army, and [-] guns. , We also have a firearms unit, which is also modeled after the Huaxia Army, and we are also afraid of fighting with them in this respect."

After thinking for a while, he pointed to Gao Yigong and said, "You lead [-] firearms troops to fight them, Liu Guoxuan retreats and gathers [-] defeated soldiers to support you, Gao Jie goes to defend Shangzhao County, Wang Guangtai still keeps his word Yang, the other generals followed the original arrangement to guard their respective garrisons, and I personally led the main force to guard Nanyang."

After arranging the troops, Li Guo came to see Gao in a depressed mood, and explained the current situation to Gao.

Gao held Li Zicheng's flesh and blood, the prince of the Dashun Army, and listened quietly to him about the current plight of the Dashun Army, then he looked at Li Guo and said, "Jin'er, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the Huaxia Army , The Huaxia Army is the army of our Han people. I heard that the people there live and work in peace and contentment, the poor have food to eat, and even lazy people have some living allowances. Arranging some easy jobs will not only allow people to live, but also live. Be more relaxed, we have been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for so long, the situation is getting worse day by day, but the Huaxia Army has done what we want to do..."

Li Guo raised his head and looked at Gao Shi in surprise, feeling that she had a fever and burned her brain, and at the same time, her eyes were full of suspicion, whether spies from the Huaxia Army had infiltrated into Gao Shi's side, Gao Shi didn't seem to be able to say this The woman who talked about it, Gao Shi has always been relatively docile and open-minded, never caring about these political matters, everyone is based on Li Guo as the core.

Gao is just the mascot of the Zhongzhen Camp in the name of Li Zicheng's widow. No other generals support Gao. Only Gao Jie and Gao Yigong still support her, but the two still focus on themselves, and it is impossible to support Gao. Clan seized power, because without him, the Loyalty Camp is nothing.

Seeing Li Guo's eyes, Gao smiled slightly, bringing out the charm of a mature woman, a kind of coercion that a queen mother should have. She is not a big jade, but also a female general. , even a woman can use books and paper to record the lives in her hands, instead of talking about a few lives.

"You don't have to guess. I mean, the decision is yours. The Loyalty Battalion is in your hands. I can't take it away, but you have to think about the [-] Loyalty Battalion soldiers. We are now in a dead end. The carriage gorge is even more critical.

At that time, Gu Junen came up with an idea, and now you don’t even have a counselor by your side, you fight around, walk around, you just walk around indiscriminately, let that old fox He Tengjiao lead you by the nose, and in the end, he runs away and puts We are in a desperate situation. When will such a day end?

The army is getting weaker and weaker, so it's better to return to the Huaxia Army and find a way out for these old brothers who have been fighting for many years.

I think this world will be taken away by the Huaxia Army in the end. It can be regarded as giving the people a memory and a way out. After all, it is the world of our Han people. You have fought for so many years, it is time to take a break and enjoy the happiness. Besides, if you Also think about us, don't let the Qing army capture us alive, and make a decision early if your uncle's incense is short, and now you will be subdued by the Huaxia army, and ask for help. If you feel uncomfortable, I can go, I will I don't think the Huaxia Army will have any bad intentions for us. "

Li Guo stretched out his hand to stop Gao's next words, "Auntie, let me think about it, let me think about it, there is no rush, wait until Gao Yigong defeats the Qing army."

Li Guo walked out with a desolate expression on his face, while Gao Yigong gathered his soldiers and horses, met Liu Guoxuan's soldiers and horses who had fled back, and rushed to Fangcheng to block the footsteps of the Qing army.

Zhang Qiang, who was staying in Wuchang Mansion, also received information that the Qing army had attacked Li Guo's troops. Seeing that the bastard Ma Bao was leading the team this time, he was furious. He thought that this guy had died in a hard labor camp. Thinking of Lin Chengcheng's one thought, let him escape from birth and bring troops to fight against him again.

He called Milin, and the two discussed it all night, and then a small team from the Military Intelligence Department quickly rushed to the Qing army camp in Pingdingshan, and soon connected with an intelligence agent named Wang Neng. Bin is a chess piece buried in the new army of the Qing army. At this moment, he is already the leader of the army in the Xinjun town of the Qing army.

Biaotong, this is equivalent to the head of a regiment of the Huaxia Army. Although the Qing Army and the Huaxia Army have the same organization, they also have a good number of troops at all levels of the Huaxia Army. In the late Qing Dynasty, the formation and title of the new army had some similarities.

In the Huaxia Army, they call a brigade, and they call a town. In fact, a town is equivalent to an army, because there are more than 1 troops, and there is an association below, which is equivalent to the brigade commander. Below the commander is the organization of each battalion. The battalion is unified and has more troops than the battalion of the Huaxia Army. Because the Huaxia Army tries to eliminate the cold weapon troops, and the Qing army also takes care of the cold weapon troops, so the number of battalions is larger than that of the Huaxia Army. It will probably reach about 800 people, at least about 600 people, and the first battalion of the Huaxia Army is about 500 people.

This time Wang Neng was the head of the regiment who commanded about [-] soldiers and horses, and became the standard commander.This army was formed by the Huaxia Army itself. Some officials were not, but the soldiers were probably from the Huaxia Army.

The Huaxia Army did not carry out the third phase of the strategic offensive before because they had to stop and rest and wait for the situation to change, but it didn't mean that they didn't say anything, and they still had to play some small tricks.

But when Li Guo was depressed and confused, he didn't know that the Huaxia Army had prepared a big gift and a small surprise for him.

Chapter 5 The Abacus of Gao Yigong

The elusive war eagle appeared on the battlefield near the mesa.

At this time, Gao Yigong carefully led more than [-] Dashun Army's Zhongzhen Battalion to march forward. Along the way, the scout cavalry shuttled back and forth, covering the distance of more than ten miles before and after, and covering the troops moving forward. Come back and report the news that the enemy has rushed towards you.

Gao Yigong was uneasy. In fact, he was not sure about fighting the Qing army. He had a psychological shadow on the Qing army since the Chongzhen era. Every time he competed with the Qing army, they would sneak attack the Qing army. Under the situation that they are several times stronger, the enemy's strength is now comparable to that of his troops, and I heard that the Qing army's new army's combat effectiveness is only slightly lower than that of the Huaxia army, which makes him even more disturbed, but he has military orders. , He didn't dare to go back before a big battle, otherwise Li Guo would kill him immediately.

Li Guo has Li Zicheng's bravery and ruthlessness, as well as Li Zicheng's coldness and reflexive character of disapproval, and Li Guo's prestige in this army is higher than his. He has no strength to resist, he can only obey, and maybe lose a battle Li Guo won't blame him, but once he gives the order to take the initiative to retreat, and he doesn't even touch the enemy, then when he goes back, Li Guo won't miss him, doesn't care what he is, just kill him, no one will stop Li Guo I used to be arbitrary.

When the Qing army arrived, Gao Yigong chose an open area to line up and prepare to meet the Qing army.

The [-] firearms troops of the Zhongzheng Battalion are combat troops similar to the early field brigades of the Huaxia Army with the addition of cold weapon infantry, archers, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and cavalry.

The Zhongzhen Camp has 1 Jinkai 1 matchlock guns seized from the Huaxia Army, [-] shotguns seized from the Qing army, hundreds of imitation Jinkai [-] matchlock guns from the Southern Ming army, and all kinds of inferior Jinkai [-] matchlock guns from the Qing army. Matchlock guns, all kinds of matchlock guns from the Ming army in Yongli, artillery, and carrying guns. After these, the Zhongzhen Camp only had a total of [-] matchlock guns.

The Loyalty Battalion learned from the Huaxia Army's field brigade organization and established two field brigades, each with two matchlock gun battalions. The army used to be called a unit called a battalion, but after the reform, a battalion has only 500 people, a maximum of 600 people, and the strengthening of business is only about 800 people, it is customized, and the battalion of the loyalty camp should actually be called a troop , It can be large or small. It can be called a battalion with two to 300 people, or it can be called a battalion with five or 600 people, or it can be called a battalion with two to 3000 people, or a battalion with tens of thousands of people. The army has a bugle, called Mo Moumou Battalion.

Of course, after studying the Huaxia Army, the first battalion of their field brigade is about 2000 people, and it is almost customized.

The two arquebus battalions each had two thousand troops. These arquebus soldiers were all trained. They were either deserters from the new army of the Nanming Kingdom, or musketeers from the Shenji Battalion of the original Ming army, or Qing soldiers from Kong Youde's department. The battalion soldiers of the military weapons battalion, or the new army battalion soldiers of Hong Chengchou, later negotiated with Tong Dawei to buy weapons. Tong Dawei gave them a training class for a period of time, taught them how to use weapons, and left the action members of the intelligence unit for them. As an instructor, Li Guo could easily capture the muskets of the Huaxia Army, and calmly organize the firearms troops, and they have a good appearance.

Loyalty Camp Field Brigade One brigade, two arquebus battalions, one battalion of two thousand arquebus soldiers, divided into four thousand arquebus soldiers, each team of four hundred arquebus soldiers, thirty archers, twenty sword shieldmen, fifty pikemen , and 12 artillerymen with three tiger crouching guns, and 12 artillerymen with three three-pounders.A total of 520 four people, plus 550 total cavalry, a total of [-] troops.

After these two battalions, there were 800 infantrymen, 30 soldiers armed with various weapons, [-] archers, [-] pikemen, and [-] artillerymen, pushing cannons of various colors captured from the Qing and Ming armies, There are more than [-] guns, and three [-]-pound cannons, the best artillery of the Huaxia Army. This is the infantry battalion.

There is also a cavalry battalion of 8000 cavalry, a battalion of [-] generals, and a battalion of [-] civilian husbands, with a total strength of [-].

This is the field brigade of the Loyalty Battalion of the most advanced gold modified 1 arquebus unit.

The other field brigade is much inferior, with about the same strength, but they all use matchlock guns that are inferior to those of the Huaxia Army, and they are also matchlock guns from the two battalions. Some small guns go to each team, and the cannons are in the infantry battalion. .

And Gao Yi led [-] elite veterans of the original Zhongzhen Battalion in the middle, [-] infantry, and [-] cavalry.

Two thousand of the four thousand infantry were elite troops directly under his old battalion, armed with various weapons, with high martial arts skills and rich combat experience, most of them were cavalry, mixed together.

Although the other 300 troops were also elite, they were the battalions and horses that Li Guo had gathered for him, as well as the soldiers of the Han army banner, supplemented by his family generals, to rule them. These two thousand troops brought the last cannon , six-pound guns, nine-pound guns, ten-pound guns, as well as the heavy artillery of the Qing army, the general guns, and the red-clothed guns, all of which are of impressive size and weight. These cannons were used by eight hundred artillerymen, Five hundred warriors and six hundred civilian soldiers pushed forward, just in front of his central army, [-] meters away from the most elite field brigade in front, ready to meet the enemy.

The most elite field brigade was placed on the left flank, and the slightly inferior field brigade was placed on the right flank. His central army was in the middle to support, with a thousand cavalry, but the scout cavalry ran around to scout the enemy, and finally served as the final force to attack the enemy.

Liu Guoxuan's three thousand remnant defeated generals were placed in the rear to protect the rear and prevent the enemy from sending troops to bypass his formation and copy his rear. This is Gao Yigong's formation of troops.

At noon, the Qing army slowly appeared in Gao Yigong's field of vision.

The flags were flying, covering the sky and the sun, as if countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards them.

Gao Yigong's Dashun Army troops who had been waiting for more than an hour immediately made a noise, but soon became silent under the pressure of the officers of each army and Gao Yigong's confidantes.

The first to enter the battlefield was the 5000 Han Army Banner troops commanded by Ma Bao. They stopped two miles away, followed by more than 200 Xinjun Townships, which directly crossed the Han Army Banner troops commanded by Ma Bao. The open ground in front of Gao Yigong's troops was lined up about one and a half miles away, separated from Ma Bao's Han Army Banner troops by more than [-] meters.

Facing Gao Yigong's troops, Ma Bao's Han Army Banner and Xinjun Town quickly separated, and formed a formation against his troops.

Gao Yigong was anxious, waiting anxiously for the enemy to line up. He was not as powerful as the enemy, and his combat power was not as high as the enemy. He could only wait. Well, no cavalry in that unit dared to face the cavalry of the Qing army. The food they ate was different, and the people they raised were of course also different.

The Manchu cavalry of the Qing army could ride and shoot, and they were as nimble as the Mongols on war horses. They might give the Han people in the north a touch, but they could only court death for the cavalry of the southern army. Ten cavalry might not be able to defeat them. The enemy had only one cavalry, so Gao Yigong had no choice but to wait. He didn't want to hand over the few poor cavalry in his hands to the Qing cavalry, who was famous for cavalry and shooting.

Gao Yigong's plan was to fight for a while, depending on the situation, consume some Qing soldiers, and then flee back to Fangcheng with his own army, defend the city, and then wait for Li Guo's reinforcements or find a way to escape back to Nanyang Fucheng.

For a while, he didn't think about winning.
