This Qing is wrong

Chapter 155

The resistance in Shaozhou City disappeared when the city gate was broken open. Even though the wealthy gentry in the city knew that they would definitely meet the Qing cavalry outside the city, they still bit the bullet and ran out from another city gate.

At this moment, the Qing army's massacre feast is very close.

However, Li Ergou's team did not start looting immediately after entering the city.

Slaughtering a city is a technical activity. The organized army enters the city and kills indiscriminately. It is all described in film and television dramas to highlight the brutality of massacring the city.

In a real city massacre, usually not too many people will be killed on the first day, only the mob who stabbed the head and took advantage of the chaos will be killed. The troops that have just entered the city immediately block the official treasury and the mansion of the rich family. And maintain law and order on the streets!

Therefore, on the first day of the massacre, the common people in the city could not see the purpose of the officers and soldiers entering the city to massacre the city.

The officers and soldiers who entered the city did this, naturally to catch the turtle in the urn.

After the chaos in the city was suppressed, the officers and soldiers began to search for money from house to house.

And Li Ergou's department, who took the lead in entering the city, is naturally qualified to occupy and select those so-called 'rich areas' first, and the good things in the warehouse can also be passed through first.

This is the treatment of those who enter the city first.

After the shouts of killing in the city calmed down, other teams of the Qing army outside the city began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

At the same time, Li Ergou's men began to control the city gates and closed all the entrances and exits of the city.

The massacre of the city has not yet begun, and the common people are not fleeing like crazy, so it is easy to seal the city.

Those Datang 'officials' who ran slowly were unlucky. They were slaughtered by the Qing army who was chasing up on the spot, and all the goods they carried became the spoils of Li Ergou's troops.

After controlling all the city gates, Li Ergou did not wait for other friendly troops to enter the city, but began to blackmail from house to house.

Yes, extortion, not massacre.

The knife rests on the neck, and if you can hand over a certain amount of money and food, you will let it go.

Families that don’t pay much will be hacked and killed. Generally speaking, common people who have seen blood will hand over their hidden money and food.

On the first day, the common people in the city generally had some savings at home, so as long as they were not desperate for money, they would not be killed.

This is actually the boiled frog in warm water in the city massacre, which can not only prevent the common people from rioting collectively, but also squeeze out all the goods in their hands little by little.

The further this blackmail goes, the more cruel it becomes.

Because with the passage of time, each household has no more money and food in their hands, and the Qing army will naturally start killing people wantonly to deter them. In the end, the family often only leaves one alive.

Encountering that kind of murderous Qing army soldiers, there is no way to keep a single one alive!
Of course, that time is not there yet.

When Li Ergou was leading his troops to carry out the first extortion, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in the open space around the Qing army's siege camp outside the city, and a group of cavalrymen riding Mongolian war horses and wearing leather robes lined with iron armor emerged. .

The Qing army, which was entering the city in an orderly manner, stopped, and the Qing army outside the city quickly caused a burst of chaos.

King Pingnan's jaw dropped even more when he saw the battle robes worn by the Mongols.

"The demon Li Changqing, you are not giving me a way out!"

Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi thought with grief and indignation.

The next moment, under the order of Mongolian Lin Dengwan, the 2000 Mongolian cavalry made a strange howling sound. They seemed to be chaotic, but they spread out in tacit cooperation with each other. The Qing army outside the city enveloped them.

The officers and soldiers of the Qing army who were at a close distance saw the monsters and puppet cavalry rushing towards them, completely abandoned their formation, and ignored the orders of the officers.

Not long ago, they were defeated by the monsters and war puppets, and they lost no temper at all...

Mongolian Lin Dengwan saw the living army seeing him, and fled in all directions as if he saw some horrible existence. He laughed loudly, and surrounded by a group of Mongolian cavalry, he opened his big bow and threw arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the Mongolian cavalrymen who had already formed a large net posted them one after another, using their skilled riding and archery skills, they shot arrows all over the sky, and shot down the fleeing Qing army officers and soldiers in pieces!
After Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi saw this scene, a chill immediately climbed up his spine, and he suddenly realized that if the monster war puppets were all cavalry, the infantry under his command would not be able to evacuate at all!
As for confrontation...

King Pingnan Shang Kexi raised his binoculars and saw the Mongolian cavalry who were no different from the elite cavalry and archers of the Mongolian Empire. Thinking about the common fear of demons in the Qing army at this time, the only brave general was sent by him again. Enter Shaozhou City...

Therefore, Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi decisively chose to escape.

Taking advantage of the large group of infantry under his command before the avalanche, King Pingnan Shang Kexi did not have time to call up the cavalry who scattered into other areas to intercept and kill the rich and powerful gentry in Shaozhou City, so he only brought a cavalry team composed of thousands of banner-leading Han troops around him , frantically galloping towards the direction where there are no monsters and war puppets.

King Pingnan Shang Kexi was located far away from the Mongolian cavalry, and there was a large area of ​​Qing army infantry in the middle, so Pingnan King Shang Kexi fled with a few thousand cavalry cavalry, which did not attract the attention of the Mongolian cavalry .

They have too much prey to kill at this time, and they are all busy shooting arrows to kill.

Mongolian Lin Dengwan found that the living army in front of him far outnumbered his own and had no will to resist at all. He simply ordered the Mongolian cavalry under his command to slow down and shoot arrows around the fleeing Qing infantry.

The Mongolian cavalry who slowed down will shoot more accurately and ruthlessly!

Many arrows were directly inserted into the deadly vital parts such as the heart and neck of the infantry of the Qing army, killing them with one blow.

Many panicked soldiers of the Qing army, unwilling to be slaughtered lambs, counterattacked with the firecrackers in their hands.

The effective shooting range of the firecrackers in the hands of Qing soldiers is farther than that of the riding bows in the hands of Mongolian cavalrymen. Therefore, the cavalry bows of Mongolian cavalry can hit Qing army infantry, and the firecrackers of Qing army infantry can also shoot Mongolian cavalry. .

In addition, in order to hit the target, the Mongolian cavalry slowed down or even stopped their horses to shoot arrows, which made it easier for the Qing infantry to aim.

Those Qing soldiers who turned around and shot were also anxious, because they found that no matter how they escaped, they could not run past the four-legged Mongolian cavalry.

However, the Qing army infantry who had the courage to turn around and fight back was a minority after all, so they did not cause much casualties to the Mongolian cavalry.

This casualty has no effect on the fearless Mongolian cavalry.

However, because the number of the Qing army is too large, the Mongolian cavalry will not be able to kill them all for a while.

Inside, the soldiers of the Qing army who were close to the city gate of Shaozhou ran crazily towards the city gate, and the casualties caused by trampling each other almost caught up with the casualties shot by the Mongolian cavalry!
King Pingnan Shang Kexi’s escape caused the command system of the Qing army to collapse rapidly. The rest of the senior generals of the Qing army, except for the confidants who ran with King Pingnan Shang Kexi, partly lost their own troops and brought a small number of relatives. Wei ran away.

Some were unwilling to lose their troops and tried to reorganize and retreat.

Not surprisingly, this retreat was quickly discovered by the Mongolian cavalry, and waves of arrows were shot down. Coupled with a round of cavalry charging, the retreating Qing army almost collapsed.

Moreover, those high-ranking generals of the Qing army who were not ordinary in armor at first glance were the priority targets of the Mongolian cavalry. Once they stayed, they would eventually lie outside Shaozhou city forever.

Mongolian Lin Dengwan has a big appetite, and he wants to keep all the living pawns!

It is difficult for cavalry to intercept, but is it not easy for infantry to intercept?
The organized Qing army was broken up one by one, leading to more trampling incidents, which greatly accelerated the death efficiency of Qing soldiers.

Not long after, Li Ergou, who was leading his soldiers to blackmail the "rich district" in the city, saw the report of the broken soldiers who fled in from outside the city.

After Li Ergou learned that there were a large number of demon and puppet cavalry outside the city, he immediately summoned his men and sent people to block the city gate while gathering the broken soldiers who had fled into the city.

Li Ergou was really bold, or rather he was a little stunned, knowing that there were cavalry from the monsters and puppets outside the city gate, he still rushed over with his men and horses.

Fortunately, at this time, the gates of the city were blocked by the influx of Qing army infantry, and most of the Mongolian cavalry were still busy chasing and killing the Qing army infantry outside the city, and there were very few Mongolian cavalry outside the city gate.

While Li Ergou dispatched his henchmen to maintain order, he dispatched musketeers and archers to mount the city wall and shoot at the Mongolian cavalry outside the city gate.

Since all the senior generals were outside the city before and did not enter the city, none of the defeated Qing soldiers who poured into the city at this time was higher than Li Ergou.

Coupled with the reputation of Li Ergou's bravery in the army, he did his part to command the rout of the Qing army that poured into the city, and launched a defense.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qing army shooting on the city wall played a big role. The Mongolian cavalry who were not afraid of death leaned against the foot of the city wall and shot at each other. As a result, the Qing army infantry on the city wall relied on the female wall and other shelters to shoot them quickly.

By the time the infantry of the Qing army crowded outside the city gate poured in, the few Mongolian cavalry outside the city gate had already been shot to death.

After Li Ergou saw this scene, he felt that the fighting power of the Yaodao War Puppet was no more than that.

Although he is not afraid of death, his brain is so frighteningly rigid. Any fool knows that if you shoot at the defenders on the wall under the city wall, and shoot at the blunderbuss with a cavalry bow, you will definitely not win. Those Mongolian cavalry are still dying. shoot at.

Standing on the top of the city gate, Li Ergou looked at the remaining Qing infantry who were still being massacred in the distance, and sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry brothers, I can't do anything."

Li Ergou is still very self-aware. His troops can rely on the city wall to shoot at the cavalry of the monster puppet. If he goes out of the city to fight with the cavalry of the monster puppet, he will repeat the same defeat as last time in minutes.

When the city gate slammed shut, the stone that Li Ergou had raised in his heart finally fell.

With the city gate and the city wall covering it, it is naturally impossible for the monster cavalry who lack the means of attacking the city to defeat him.

Unless the demon Daoist Li Changqing keeps throwing war puppets here...

Thinking of this, Li Ergou was startled and felt that he was not safe enough. He heard that the demon Dao Li Changqing had the ability to throw war puppets into the city!

Surrounded by the guards, Li Ergou walked down the city gate tower and began to reorganize the gathered broken soldiers.

Li Ergou is well versed in the truth that in troubled times, there are soldiers who are the grass head king.

In other words, ordinary people with a little brain know this truth.

Li Ergou took advantage of the unsteady morale of those rout soldiers and when the organizational system was broken up, he merged all the rout soldiers with his own troops.

Moreover, he promoted his confidant military officer to a real power officer, and demoted the military officer in the defeated army to a deputy position, and also transferred from the original team to take the other side away!
This kind of operation Li Ergou was in the army, and he had seen Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi's method, so it can still be done according to the gourd.

The most important thing is that what Li Ergou needs to annex is the defeated Qing army without an organizational system. They already need someone to rely on, and Li Ergou's position and personal prestige are in line with the expectations of the Qing army, and the resistance to reorganization Naturally small.

Outside the city is the war puppet thrown by the demon Taoist Li Changqing. The defeated Qing army urgently needs a commander who can lead them to defeat the demon war puppet.

In this regard, Li Ergou is more popular than Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi.

Moreover, everyone is the Qing army, and there is not much psychological gap when they are integrated.

In this way, when the Mongolian cavalry outside the city massacred the remaining Qing infantry, Li Ergou used the precious time difference to complete the reorganization of all the Qing troops in Shaozhou City. The number of people was more than ten thousand!

The strength of Li Ergou's troops has doubled several times!
In the green battalion system, the strength of a town led by a general soldier is no more than that.

The war puppets launched by Li Changqing saved the common people in Shaozhou city. At this time, how could the Qing army have the intention to slaughter the city?
Even Li Ergou has to find a way to retain human resources, and wait until the time when the monsters and puppets attack the city and use them as cannon fodder.

Li Ergou is also a member of the Qing army in essence, and treats human life like nothing.

Li Ergou may not have enough experience in leading troops, but in terms of cruelty and mercilessness, he is no different from other veteran generals of the Qing army.

The massacre of the Qing army by the Mongolian cavalry outside the city continued until dusk, mainly because many Qing army infantry fled in all directions, increasing the time consumed by the Mongolian cavalry to chase and kill.

The cavalry of the Qing army deployed in other places was originally used to intercept and kill the convoy of fleeing rich and wealthy gentry in Shaozhou city.

This time, very few of the rout soldiers who escaped to seek refuge with Pingnan King Shang Kexi again, those Qing army rout soldiers felt that Pingnan King Shang Kexi was already being targeted by the demon Dao Li Changqing, following Pingnan King Shang Kexi, sooner or later they would be continuously The demon war puppet that descended killed him.

Therefore, the defeated Qing army would rather go further and enter the territory of Huguang Province to join the Qing army there.

In the end, there were only more than [-] confidant cavalry left around Shang Kexi, king of Pingnan. These cavalry were either Shang Kexi's nephews or confidant generals. Nanwang Shang was delighted that the situation was over, and he was still by his side.

Li Ergou led more than 1000 remnants of the Qing army and was besieged in Shaozhou by more than [-] Mongolian cavalry.
