Chapter 216 The Decisive Battle in Liantan Town ([-])
In front of Liantan Town, dozens of Green Battalion soldiers had their livery stripped off, and they were kneeling on the ground under the pressure of the Eight Banners soldiers. The executioner with the head knife.

"We Eight Banners have to cheer up! If we don't cheer up again, the country left by our ancestors will be gone! Kill!"

E Hai's face was expressionless, while he was talking to cheer up the Eight Banners, on the other hand he mercilessly ordered to cut down these fleeing green battalion soldiers. With a flash of white light, dozens of heads fell to the ground, and bright red blood flowed out , looks startling.

The Green Battalion soldiers standing under the stage looked at this scene, with a trace of despair and resentment on their faces, but they dared not speak out in front of the Eight Banners soldiers, and each of them just lowered their heads, pretending not to see generally.

E Hai looked at these green battalion soldiers, with a little contempt in his eyes, he sneered and said: "Han people are Han people, and they are as timid as mice, and they are afraid of death. If there are deserters in the future, there is no need to talk nonsense. Just cut it off."

After saying these words, it made the morale of the green battalion soldiers in the audience look even lower. From their eyes, they could see despair and exhaustion, but they couldn't see the taste of resistance.

As far as the Qing army is concerned, they have reached a point of no return. The emperor above is forcing the generals below, and the Eight Banners are also forcing the green battalion. Attack, or attack.

Zhao Gui and several other Green Battalion soldiers pushed a shield cart full of sandbags, and launched an attack on the defense line of Liantan Town with difficulty. The sweat on their bodies had completely soaked the livery, but they still persisted This cart.

Zhao Gui was originally an ordinary green battalion soldier in Shandong, but he was transferred here after some twists and turns, and followed Shangguan in Huguang, Anhui, where he was beaten to death. He is also a veteran. Of course, he is not a veteran of the Great War, but an escaped soldier. veteran.Those of them were all routed from the battlefield. Although they were not beheaded by luck, they were also incorporated into the coolie camp and became cannon fodder for the forwards in this battle.

The main reason why they are called cannon fodder is their role, which is to push the shield car against the artillery of the Fuhan army all the way, and then use the sandbags on it to fill up the trenches and pave the way for the Qing soldiers behind. As long as the trench is completely filled, you can get out of the coolie camp.

As the shield vehicle gradually entered the attack range of the Fuhan Army's artillery, Zhao Gui felt the cruelty of this task. The Fuhan Army's artillery made a huge roar, followed by pitch-black Bullets fell from the sky, and some of them just hit the shield chariot, destroying the entire shield chariot completely, and the Qing soldiers who were pushing the shield chariot also died terribly, and the whole person became torn apart.

Zhao Gui was startled by the shattered corpse behind him. The bright red blood smeared a thick layer on the ground, and the body that was torn apart by the bullets was still steaming. This scene was like hell. chills. .

"God! Please have mercy!"

Zhao Gui obviously felt that the shield chariot was being pushed slower and slower. Looking at the Qing soldiers next to him, some of their legs were even trembling slightly. Fear had completely made them feel exhausted, and Zhao Gui was not much better. He was breathing heavily, but the fear in his heart was rising little by little.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the artillery of the Fuhan army became more and more accurate. The shield vehicles beside Zhao Gui and the others were destroyed one after another, and scattered sandbags were overturned everywhere. Instead, it was Zhao Gui and the others. This shield chariot has been moving forward slowly, but Zhao Gui is not at all happy, only a fear of approaching death.

With the howling of the artillery fire, bright flowers bloomed on the battlefield, but behind these flowers, there were human lives, blooming the last afterglow of life.

Zhao Gui was no exception. Just a hundred steps away from Liantan Town, the shield chariot he was in was also hit by a bullet, and he was knocked down on the spot. The shield chariot directly pressed onto Zhao Gui's body, making him Unable to move at all, the severe pain made him a little dazed, and he murmured softly: "Okay, okay, you don't have to suffer if you die."

The last thing he saw was that more and more shield vehicles appeared on the battlefield, and more and more green battalion soldiers began to fill up the ditches in front of them. When the sandbags were filled, they would be filled with human lives.

The Qing army is working hard, and the Fuhan army is also advancing.

Since disembarking at Digang, Ning Yu has not stopped at all, and led 1 people all the way forward lightly. The goal is naturally the Lujiang Mansion in front of him. Wan Dajun was locked in a cage.

This battle is not difficult to fight, the Qing army in the Lujiang Mansion has not many people at all, and it can be broken with a single hand, but the crux of the problem is that it must occupy Beijiao Pass in the shortest time and in the most secret way, Otherwise, if Kangxi came back to his senses and chose to retreat directly from Beixiaguan, then this big fish would run away completely.

Once Kangxi retreats from Beijiaoguan, it means that the Fuhan army will continue to confront the Qing army in Anhui for a long time until the situation changes.But this is not what Ning Yu wants, what he wants is to completely leave Kangxi's [-] troops, plus the whole south, to lay the foundation of the country at once.

Because of this, Ning Yu personally led the army to block Kangxi's retreat, because this battle is really important, and it is related to the change of the strategy of the Fuhan Army from defense to offense.Moreover, such decisive opportunities do not always exist. The waterways in Anqing and Lujiang are criss-crossed, which can effectively limit the attack of the Qing cavalry, which is very important to Ning Yu.

If he really went to the northern plains to fight, Ning Yu would really have no good way to take out the cavalry of the Qing army. Therefore, this opportunity was extremely precious to Ning Yu and the entire Fuhan army.

The long queue was marching on the road, and the morale of the big guys was very high. Someone had been organizing to sing the military song of the Fuhan Army. When the singing was loud, it made many soldiers forget their hard work.

Ning Yu was riding a horse, holding a binoculars in his hand, observing the surrounding terrain and landforms, while Dong Ce walked over with a serious face.

"I received the letter from Uji King, the fish has already taken the bait, but it's not the right time to catch the net. I'm a little worried that he won't be able to defend Liantan Town. If Kangxi and Yue Zhongqi are allowed to reunite, then we will face great pressure .”

Dong Ce handed Yu Zhijing's letter to Ning Yu, and then said softly: "With the current marching speed of our army, the vanguard should be able to reach Lujiang in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. As for the distance from Lujiang to Beijiaoguan, it is relatively close , that is, it will take about a day."

Ning Yu took back the binoculars, savored the news carefully, and said softly: "If you guessed correctly, at this moment, Kangxi should have been attacking Liantan Town for many days."

"We still need to hold on for three days. Once Beijiao Pass is captured by our army, Kangxi may hesitate at that time. At that time, there are only two choices. One is to bite the bullet and fight Liantan Town, and the other is to turn around and fight North Kip Pass, to prevent the back road from being cut off."

Dong Ce's face was solemn. Of course he knew that under the onslaught of a [-] army, even if he persisted for an hour longer, it would mean extremely heavy casualties.

"At that time, Kangxi will not continue to fight Liantan, he is already old."

Ning Yu looked at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, but felt a little sigh in his heart.
