This Qing is wrong

Chapter 235
Soon, the chariots of the two sides approached amid the chant of the Qing army. Both the Japanese mercenaries and the Qing army relied on the heavy chariots, and they shot at each other.

Among them, those with good archery skills hide behind and blindly throw towards the enemy's formation.

Emperor Kangxi still attached great importance to Li Changqing's army, and sent the elite of the Manchu Eight Banners there from the very beginning.

As a matter of course, the elites of the Eight Banners are all born Jurchens born in the white mountains and black waters, which are commonly known as savage Jurchens.

Although they were promoted by Emperor Kangxi to be full of the Eight Banners, they have always been the object of discrimination in the Eight Banners team, even the Mongolian Eight Banners looked down on them.

This is the chain of contempt of origin in the Qing army.

When the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty existed, the status of these birth girls was almost equal to that of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

However, these birth girls really grew up in the forest environment where the jungle preys on the weak and the strong. Those who can grow into warriors not only have good arrow skills, but their hand-to-hand combat ability is generally higher than that of other Eight Banners.

The most important thing is that when these birth girls really joined the Qing court, the Qing court had already begun to prepare for the Great Migration. They did not enjoy the decadent life of the Eight Banners at all, and still maintained a hard and simple fighting spirit.

This made a group of Jurchen who thought they had a low life, very eager for military merits when fighting, and the will to fight was second to none in the Qing army.

In addition to their mediocre riding and shooting skills, they can almost be regarded as all-round arms in the cold weapon era.

And this group of strong and brave Jurchens was equipped with double armor by Emperor Kangxi at a large expense. Among the raw Jurchens, the most capable Saurons and Barhus are even more qualified to wear the top three!
A proper humanoid mobile tank.

As long as the top three Saurons and Balhus were not hit by muskets at close range, their defenses would not be broken at all.

However, the general Eight Banners soldiers are already panting after putting on two layers of heavy armor. It's not that Emperor Kangxi was stingy and didn't give the other Eight Banners children more heavy armor, but they couldn't carry it by themselves...

The Saurons and Barhus were the attacking sharp-sword troops of the Qing army. In the past, they were aloof and despised their other Eight Banners, but instead they became the existence behind the formation.

Of course, there were not many Saurons and Barhus, they were scattered throughout the battlefield, and there were very few local battle groups, and the majority were the New Green Battalion and the ordinary Eight Banners.

In the new green battalion that Yasuo Yamashita faced, there were actually hidden warriors who gave birth to women, but the number was small, so they didn't fly their own banner.

Naturally, Emperor Kangxi made such a distribution so that the brave birth daughter could really bring forth the fighting spirit of the new green battalion.

These Japanese mercenaries were hanged by the painting cakes of the military masters, and they were well fed by the Tang army. Their morale was high along the way. In addition, they were brainwashed by Bushido spirit since they were young. It's not bad at all.

Yamashita Yasuo did not pull out his katana, but shot and reloaded his flintlock like an ordinary musketeer.

After joining the Tang Army, Yamashita Yasuo's understanding of war has greatly improved.

The proportion of musket equipment in the Tang army is far from comparable to that of the former Japanese shogunate army, and muskets do not need a matchlock to fire, it is easier to load, and the rate of fire is 'super fast'.

A normal arquebus can only fire one round per minute on average, but a flintlock can fire three rounds per minute, and there is still room for improvement in the flintlock. A skilled fusilier can even fire four or five rounds per minute!
Such a high rate of fire is naturally an ultra-fast concept in the eyes of Yasuo Yamashita.

Facing a musket that an ordinary farmer could use, Yasuo Yamashita even needed to mobilize all the strength in his body to resist.

Such a powerful weapon, even Yamashita Yasuo had to lower his proud head of a warrior and learn to master it carefully.

Of course, this does not mean that Yasuo Yamashita gave up his samurai way. At the end of the battle, the two sides still need to use hand-to-hand combat to decide the winner.

The Japanese army and the Qing army fired at each other for a while, and after finding that no one could do anything to the other, the Qing army, relying on their numbers, continued to push the chariot forward. When they approached a few steps away, they suddenly burst into shouts .

"For the Qing Dynasty, let's go!!!"

Led by the warriors born Jurchen, the New Green Battalion, armed with cold weapons, rushed into the position of the Japanese mercenaries.

Under the leadership of their respective high-ranking officers, the Japanese samurai drew out their samurai swords without showing any weakness, and rushed forward with their iron plates on their bodies.

Yasuo Yamashita looked at the tall and burly warrior who was a full one-third taller than him, and when he held up a Kanto broom that was about as long as his height and slashed across, the whole person suddenly lay down like Voldemort On the ground, with his right hand on the handle of the knife, he suddenly used the sword to cut.

In an instant, a white light flashed, and the Jurchen warrior who was facing Yasuo at the foot of the mountain froze, and a second later, his waist suddenly became sideways, and the upper and lower body were staggered and separated in the gushing blood.

In addition, the Jurchen warrior charged behind him, and the two Hindu Green Battalion soldiers with white turbans on their heads standing in a straight line were also cut in two by the knife-drawn slash.

After killing the enemy in front of him, Yasuo Yamashita shouted an order, and he was the first to rush into the oncoming Qing army crowd. The samurai sword cut out an afterimage, and the Qing soldiers who passed by clutched their chests or necks and other fatal vital points, powerless Kneel down.

They couldn't even last a round.

After beheading more than ten people with one face, Yasuo Yamashita stopped his figure, took a few breaths violently, and recovered some strength.

However, no matter how many Qing troops Yamashita Yasuo killed, there was a steady stream of people behind them, the back row pressing the front row, and the back row pressing the front row into the Japanese mercenary position.

Yasuo at the foot of the mountain stepped on the cart and looked up, the crowd of the Qing army could not see the end!

Not only the war zone of Yasuo under the mountain, but also all the contact points, both sides were caught in bloody hand-to-hand combat.

Sporadic gunshots sounded from time to time during the hand-to-hand combat, and the shouts of killing covered the sky and the sun, turning the outskirts of Lahore into a slaughterhouse for flesh and blood.

Emperor Kangxi in the rear held a binoculars in his hand, looked at the rock-solid battle line of the Tang army, frowned and turned to Zhang Feng beside him.

"This kind of war of attrition won't last long. I have already sent the elite Eight Banners to the front line. Let the Celestial Master take action."

Emperor Kangxi originally thought that he could gain an advantage in the early stage by betting on all the attacks, and no matter how bad he was, he could draw out Li Changqing's core troops who were obviously not human.

Unexpectedly, the Tang army could resist the attacks of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in turn with a group of dwarf soldiers!
Emperor Kangxi never expected that this group of dwarf soldiers from the small country of Dongying would have such courage and combat skills.

The previous Qing army had never fought against Japanese mercenaries, which caused Emperor Kangxi to misjudge the combat effectiveness of these dwarf soldiers.

The individual combat power of the Japanese samurai was still within the acceptable range of Emperor Kangxi, but the bloody bravery of those Japanese samurai in battle moved Emperor Kangxi.

The new green battalion who used money to sacrifice their lives, and even the ordinary soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, were inferior to the opponent after all.

Especially the Eight Banners of Mongolia. Since the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia merged into one, the Eight Banners of Mongolia in the middle and lower classes have been completely reduced to slave soldiers of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Emperor Kangxi's policy was good, but after it was implemented, it changed its taste.

Originally, the children of the Banners who were full of the Eight Banners looked down on the Meng Eight Banners. Now that they have mastered the high-level positions of the Meng Eight Banners, they naturally command the middle and lower levels of the Meng Eight Banners as slaves.

This certainly eliminated the possibility of the Mongolian Eight Banners surrendering to the enemy, but at the same time it also increased the contradiction between the middle and lower classes of the Meng Eight Banners and the Manchu Eight Banners.

You know, the Mongolian Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty in India are already real veteran soldiers. They were living a good life, but suddenly a group of full banners came to bully them. How could the old Mongolian soldiers of the Eight Banners have no grievances?

The most important thing is that there are also Mongols in the Tang army on the opposite side, and the prisoners of the Tang army are also alive and well, especially those Han Eight Banners, who have transformed into Tang army armor!
The current situation is clearly that Tang is strong and Qing is weak. It is conceivable how much subjective initiative the bullied middle and lower classes of the Mongolian Eight Banners will have to sacrifice their lives for the Qing Dynasty...

Fortunately, among the Eight Banners, whether it is the core group of Emperor Kangxi or the Eight Banners who gave birth to Zhen, they are all sincerely loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

The birth of a daughter is really because of gratitude to Emperor Kangxi for taking them away from the poor Baishan Heishui. Although in the Qing system, the birth of a daughter is still discriminated against, but compared to the hard life in Baishan Heishui, the birth of a daughter here in India is like heaven. generally.

Because giving birth to a girl can also oppress the lower Indian aborigines!

Because of this, Sheng Nuzhen has a grateful attitude towards Emperor Kangxi, which is completely different from Meng Baqi.

The Mongolian Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty were not Mongolian herdsmen who lived a hard life on the Mongolian grasslands. When the Mongolian Eight Banners occupied the Han land in the Qing Dynasty, they were the aristocratic class second only to the Manchu Eight Banners, and even higher than the Han Army Eight Banners!
The reason why they followed Emperor Kangxi was to enjoy the blessings, not to be buried with Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty!

Unlike the class interests of the Manchu Eight Banners, most of the children of the Mongolian Eight Banners did not regard the Qing Dynasty as their own nation-state.

Of course, no matter how great the disadvantages of the merger of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were, it could not cover up its advantages. With the Manchurian Eight Banners marching and taking the lead, the overall offensive of the Qing army maintained a good rhythm even though it suffered tragic casualties.

War is not a wave of people rushing up and hacking until they die. Human physical strength is limited after all. After a wave of people go up, they need to retreat after a period of time.

Just like Yasuo Yamashita, he has repelled five waves of the Qing army's offensive!

Of course, the time between these five waves of offensives is very short. Basically, the previous wave has not receded, and the next wave will come up...

This is also the reason why Yamashita Yasuo's team has been unable to retreat to the rear to rest.

At this moment, the advantage of the Qing army's strength was reflected. The Japanese mercenaries did not have enough reserves to replace them, but the Qing army could rely on its strong strength to attack in turn.

In theory, the two sides are actually an unequal war of attrition.

However, the war between the living cannot only be based on theoretical values, because there are very few people in the Qing army who are really willing to die for the Qing court, and there are almost none in the New Green Camp and the Mongolian Eight Banners.

But the Japanese mercenary army is full of poor and tyrannical Japanese samurai who are full of appetite and dare to fight.

Therefore, as long as this war of attrition continues, the Qing army will inevitably become weaker and weaker!

After experiencing the cost of tragic casualties in the first round, the retired Qing army rested and then rushed up to fight the second round. The morale was at a completely different stage.

Emperor Kangxi saw this and impatiently asked Zhang Tianshi to take action.

Taoist celestial masters are the top existence of the cultivation system in this dharma-ending era, and they are qualified to interfere in the battlefield.

The most important thing is that the Taoist cultivation system is a good player in large-scale attacks, and it completely crushes Buddhism and martial arts in this respect.

Zhang Feng also knew that this battle was related to whether the Taoist forces he led could continue to exist.

Today, the Taoist forces in the middle land and Han land have been disintegrated and swallowed by the long-term Taoist policy of the Tang Dynasty.

Because there is no second celestial master in the Han land, and even the number of real people is very small. Compared with the orthodox Tang Empire court, other Taoist remnants have no ability to resist at all.

As long as they are discovered, they often have to face two cruel choices-surrender or erasure.

Therefore, Zhang Feng knew very well that the "Orthodox Daoist Court" he led could only rely on Emperor Kangxi, otherwise it would be impossible to take root in a land full of alien beliefs.

Even, once the Qing court falls, the Taoists of the Qing court who cannot get enough support are likely to fall down and scatter. At that time, except for Zhang Feng's direct disciples, the other Taoist disciples who followed will disperse on their own and flee to The Datang side joined the Daozu side and became the eagle dog of the Tang State.

Zhang Feng had to admit that the current Daoist sect is inseparable from the Qing court of Emperor Kangxi.

It can even be said that after the Taoist sect left Emperor Kangxi, it would soon be torn apart and be annexed by the Dao Court of the Tang Dynasty next door. However, when Emperor Kangxi left the Taoist sect, it would only lose a few high-level thugs, and it would not affect the country.

What's more, Emperor Kangxi has always treated Zhang Feng with an equal status, and has maintained enough respect for Taoism. He has never regarded it as a subordinate institution of the Qing court, so Zhang Feng naturally deserves it.

Afterwards, Zhang Feng stood on the altar that had been prepared and began to call for the wind and rain.

This time Zhang Feng didn't simply invite some wind and rain, which would not help the battle situation.

What Zhang Feng summoned was the highest attack secret method of Taoism, the thunder from heaven like a forbidden spell!

Why is it difficult for a celestial master to cultivate?

It is because the Taoist celestial master controls the unimaginable power of heaven and earth, and can use his meager mana to provoke and attract the power of heaven and earth.

Taoism is the orthodox inheritance of ancient immortals!
Over the battlefield, layers of dense clouds suddenly appeared. Li Changqing, who was in the center of the Tang army's formation, saw the changes in the sky, and chuckled as expected:

"That Zhang Tianshi finally made a move."

Chu Qingxi, who was beside Li Changqing, echoed: "The power of thunder dispatched by that heavenly master Zhang just made up for the shortcomings of my cultivation method. I will let that heavenly master Zhang understand what it means to lift a rock to smash yourself. foot."
