Chapter 215 The Decisive Battle in Liantan Town ([-])
The sound of guns was booming, and there was loud gunfire. A large number of Qing troops retreated directly from the direction of Liantan Town. Shotguns were thrown all over the ground. There were a large number of corpses lying around, only focused on running to the rear, and there was chaos everywhere .

Wearing armor, Kangxi stood up with force, holding binoculars in both hands and looking at the battle ahead, his face was already ashen. He never imagined that the Qing army, which he relied on heavily, would become so Vulnerable.

Since the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Qing army’s attack on Liantan Town has already begun. As an emperor who has been polishing on the battlefield all year round, Kangxi is naturally no stranger to military affairs, and he also understands what is most important at the moment, that is, time. Take Liantan Town in a short time and open up the road to Anqing, then the entire Fuhan army will be unstoppable.

But what Kangxi never imagined was that the elite of the Eight Banners, whom he had hoped for, seemed a little unbearable. Now in the entire Qing army, except for the cavalry, which can give Kangxi some confidence, the others seem not so unbearable used.

The rout soldiers in the distance had been stopped, and several green battalion generals Zuo Du who had taken the lead in running had their heads cut off and hung on the shaft gate. There was still a trace of fear and unwillingness on their faces.

"Which wave is this?" Kangxi frowned wearily, he couldn't remember how many times this was the attack.

"If you go back to the emperor, this is the seventh wave, the slave should die!"

E Hai, the forward commander of the Qianfeng Battalion, has a bitter face. Since the soldiers surrounded Liantan Town, the Qing army took a break and launched a desperate attack, but every attack was in vain in front of the artillery and flintlocks of the Fuhan army. But back, the loss was so heavy that the next two groups directly sent soldiers from the Eight Banners Vanguard Battalion into battle, hoping to open up the situation.

Now Kangxi's Beijing Eight Banners are mainly composed of the pro-army camp, the guard camp, the forward camp, the Shenji camp, and the three banners of the House of Internal Affairs. where.Especially the vanguard battalion among them usually assists the guard battalion and other troops to defend the palace. Whenever the emperor parades the army, it can be said to be majestic and prestige.

However, for such an army that was valued by Kangxi very much, its combat effectiveness declined faster than anyone else. After encountering some blows, he rushed back in a hurry, and his overall performance was not as good as that of the green camp.

During the attack just now, the Vanguard Battalion and the Green Battalion participated together, but the Green Battalion was always in front. A little hesitant to move forward, and after many rounds of firing guns, the green battalion completely collapsed, and the forward battalion also started to run backwards.

Later, when the personnel were counted, E Hai, the forward commander of the Qianfeng Battalion, almost died of anger. During that attack, [-]% of the soldiers of the Green Battalion died, while almost all the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qianfeng Battalion were intact. , That is to say, after dropping a dozen lives, they have already retreated, and they just went up to make soy sauce in the end.

"Hmph, a group of useless trash, cough, cough, pass down the order to get the guard camp ready. Today, we need to take down Liantan Town!"

Kangxi started to cough while talking, his face turned bright red instantly, and he covered his mouth with a dark handkerchief. When he stopped coughing and looked at the handkerchief again, it was stained with a lot of blood. He talked slightly, but directly tucked the handkerchief in his hand and didn't say anything.

Right now Kangxi's physical condition is already very bad, but he also knows in his heart that if he does not win another battle, the entire Qing Dynasty will be in danger, so at this time, Kangxi can be regarded as completely willing to go all out.

He no longer cared whether he would die on the battlefield, he just wanted to win.

The people who want to win are naturally not only the Qing army, but also the Fuhan army stationed in Liantan Town, who also want to win very much, and the most cruel point is that if they don't stick to it, they have no way to retreat, except death. other options.

Before the Qing army completely closed the siege, Uji King wrote all the current situation in Liantan Town in a letter, and asked the messenger to take it out at the risk of death and hand it over to Ning Yu.The content of the letter is very simple, with only a few numbers, but it makes people feel a little frightened when reading it.

"On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, when Kangxi's army arrived at Liantan, our army should stand firm and wait for reinforcements, and fight to the death here."

Uji Jing had already put himself and the entire Second Defense Division on the line of life and death, and there was no way out.

A long time ago, Uji King had already understood Ning Yu's plan, and now this plan has been realized step by step, but it requires the death of many people, even the entire Second Defense Division, who may all be sacrificed in this battle, but no Relationship, Uji Kei told himself, it was all worth it.

From the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Qing army's attack on Liantan Town has already begun. As an emperor who has been polishing the battlefield all year round, Kangxi is naturally no stranger to military affairs, and he also understands what is most important at present, that is, time. Take Liantan Town in a short time and open up the road to Anqing, then the entire Fuhan army will be unstoppable.

However, it is also affected by the current geographical environment. Among Kangxi's 1 troops, there are [-] Manchurian cavalry. The combat effectiveness is very strong.However, in the current offensive and defensive battle, it is not helpful. After all, the Fuhan army has dug several deep ditches in front of Liantan Town, and there are two layers of barbed wire and horse repelling, plus frightening grenades. Let Kangxi completely dispel the idea of ​​directly using the cavalry to attack.

Looking at the Qing army camp in the distance, Yue Lingfeng couldn't help snorting coldly: "Seven waves have been repelled now, and I don't think they will come back to die in a short time. With the current defense of our army with trenches on all sides and layers of fortifications , if he wants to eat us, he has to smash a few of his teeth!"

Uji King just smiled and clicked on the map on the desktop, "The current situation is that Kangxi is more anxious than us. Let's make a bet. Before evening, Kangxi may have to fight again!"

Yue Lingfeng frowned, "Based on the current situation of our army, at least 10 of the 3 people will die before we can completely kill our 8000 people. Old Kangxi really has this determination?"

"Hey, just wait and see, no matter how big the casualties are this time, the Qing army will not let go. It's not someone else behind, it's Kangxi, if he can't take down our little Liantan Town, this The meaning behind it is not so simple."

Uji Jing sneered, "If the master of the Eight Banners on the opposite side doesn't cheer up, the Qing Dynasty will really be over by then!"
