Chapter 466: Found Kangxi, don’t let Kangxi go! (Please vote for me, please subscribe)
"Long live Long live Long live!"

When the dragon flag symbolizing the Qing Emperor and the Mongol Khan appeared on the south bank of the Beisha River, cheers resounded through the sky, and for a moment it blocked the sound of gunfire on the battlefield on the north bank of the Beisha River.

Many soldiers from both sides who were fighting heard the sudden cheers. Because the "Long Live" was shouted in Manchurian, if you listened carefully, you would know that a large Qing army had already reached Beisha River. south bank
Li Zhongshan, who was directing the battle in a van, had actually received a report from the scouting horse. He knew that many Qing cavalry were crossing the river from a ford in the upper reaches of the Beisha River to the south bank of the Beisha River. They might be going to sneak attack on their old camp. .

So he immediately ordered Li Zhongyi, who was outflanking the Qing army's left wing, to immediately intercept the Qing army's cavalry, and then from the reserve team (two divisions each on the left, middle, and right routes of the Ming army, and two divisions from the reserve team) A No. 20 Fifth Division was dispatched from the army to support Li Zhongyi.

The No. 20 [-]th Division had just crossed the river here, and the Qing army that had completed the crossing suddenly started shouting "Long Live!"

What's the situation?
Li Zhongshan was also born in Zhengbai Banner, and he also knew some Manchu dialect. Of course he understood what those Eight Banners soldiers shouting "Long Live" on the mountain meant?Could it be that Emperor Kangxi personally led the cavalry across the river to conduct a sneak attack?
Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan quickly raised his telescope and looked in the direction of the cheers. After searching carefully, he found a square yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind. Of course he knew that this yellow dragon flag was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Also the flag of the Mongol Khan!

Can't?It’s really Kangxi!Is Kangxi so brave now?Do you dare to take the lead?This is an era where rifled guns and minion bullets can kill admirals!
In addition, shouldn't a sneak attack mean "crossing the river secretly" and "not firing a gun"?Why do you shout long live as soon as you cross the river?What's this for?Inciting hatred?Didn't Kangxi know that he had invaded the Yellow River and was already the public enemy of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe Army, and the Huaihe Army was the main force of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expeditionary Army. How could he make a sneak attack with all his yelling?Isn't this an "open attack"?

Isn't it a scam?

But where is the deceit?
Even Li Zhongshan, a general who was about to conquer the world, was confused by the operation of "Kangxi crossed the river to launch an open attack", and suddenly he didn't know how to adjust his deployment.

On the other side of the battlefield, Emperor Kangxi, who was immediately directing the battle on a mound, was also confused by the sound of the mountains shouting "Long Live" coming from the south bank of the Beisha River. Of course he knew where this cheer came from.It must be Chani, Li Guangdi, and Xiao Guizi who are flying their own Yellow Dragon Flag!

Wherever the Yellow Dragon Flag is, it means where the emperor is!

Near the mound where Kangxi stood, a tall flagpole was erected. On the pole hung a yellow dragon flag symbolizing the Qing emperor and the Mongol Khan.

However, war never tires of deceit, so it is not surprising that one or several "Shadow Emperors" appear on the battlefield.Therefore, it was possible for Kangxi to have someone pretend to be supervising the battle on the frontal battlefield, quietly follow the roundabout troops deep behind enemy lines, display the Yellow Dragon Flag at a critical moment to show his identity, boost morale, and launch a general offensive.vice versa.
But what Kangxi himself didn't quite understand was that now was the critical moment?But they didn't get close to the Ming army's camp, and they didn't even reach Jinggou River. Could it be that they encountered the Ming army's main camp?

The coaches of both sides were confused, and the officers and soldiers fighting below certainly didn't know what was going on?
The morale of the Qing army was a bit low. This morning, the Qing army had already lost a battle between Jinggou River and Beisha River. The losses were not small. They also allowed the Ming army to rush across the Beisha River and asked them to dig up holes on the north bank of the Beisha River. The trenches were dug and low walls built.

Everyone knows that the trenches and low wall fortifications of the Ming army are difficult to attack. There were not many Ming troops guarding the mountains. The trenches and low walls also caused heavy casualties to the attacking Qing army!

Now one hundred thousand Ming troops are digging trenches and building walls with their backs to the Beisha River, and they are all ready!The number of Qing troops was slightly smaller than them. How could they win?If the Qing army and the Ming army were locked in a battle between Jiehe and Beishahe, would there be a large number of Ming troops coming to join the battle?If another Ming army army came over, would the Qing Dynasty be defeated by Li Zhongshan again?

If Kangxi was defeated again in Shandong, would the Ming army attack Beijing next?
If Beijing cannot hold on, will the Qing Dynasty still exist?

Just when these new officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners felt that the Qing Dynasty was about to end, "Long live, long live, long live" in Manchurian suddenly rang out from the south bank of the Beisha River behind the Ming army.
They did not have the "height" of Kangxi, and of course they could not see the yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind, but they did not shout "Long live, long live, long live" casually.

Did Emperor Kangxi himself lead the cavalry behind the Ming army?

Is the Qing Dynasty going to win?
Thinking of this good thing, the morale of the Qing soldiers who were originally a little weak suddenly became more energetic!
The two red flag infantry units closest to the Ming army just launched an infantry attack. Pengchun, a first-class official of the Qing Dynasty, had already put on double armor, holding a red flag in his hand, and was surrounded by a group of "old women really wild flags" holding horses. In front of Goshiha, four infantry battalions formed a column, advancing forward through the smoke that filled the battlefield.

Behind them, the artillerymen of the two red flags of the Qing army raised their muzzles to the highest position and launched solid bullets one after another onto the Ming army's position.

Although Ichigo Gong Pengchun spent a lot of time just now to mobilize these four thousand red flag infantrymen and coax them to the front line, these red flag infantrymen are still not very energetic. Even if they are held by Pengchun's Goshiha, they can't Refusing to move forward happily, the fine Qing infantry turned into old ladies with little feet.

Just when Pengchun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and didn't know how to force the advanced Eight Banners disciples below to die, he suddenly heard the Manchurian cry "Long live the mountains" coming from the rear of the Ming army!

Of course Pengchun knew that Kangxi sent tens of thousands of Eight Banners new army cavalry to detour through the fords of the Beisha River to the rear of the Ming army.However, he did not expect that Kangxi himself was among the tens of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry, who detoured back to the south bank of Beisha River, and seemed to have won the battle!
If we hadn't won the battle, we wouldn't be shouting "Long live, long live" now, but "Lost, defeated".
Thinking of this, Pengchun waved the red flag vigorously, pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the army led by the emperor has circled behind the Ming army and won a complete victory! Brothers, move forward, don't let the Ming army run away. !”

The group of "Wild Jurchen Goshiha" who followed Pengchun also shouted: "The emperor led his troops behind the Ming army! The emperor has won a great victory! Brothers, charge! Don't let the Ming army run away!" "

When this group of "Wild Jurchen Goshiha" shouted, the morale of the two red flag fusiliers of the Qing Army, which had been somewhat improved just now because they heard the Manchurian "Long Live" coming from behind the Ming Army, finally became a little boiling. They also shouted loudly and quickened their pace.

These new Eight Banners armies are among the best in the world today in terms of equipment and training!The reason why morale was low before was because the opponents they encountered this time were numerous and strong, and they seemed to have no hope of winning.

Now that I see the hope of victory, my fighting spirit is immediately visible to the naked eye!

This was a majestic lineup of four battalions, with all their flintlock guns equipped with bayonets. Under the leadership of the officers, they began to advance quickly, first walking, then sprinting, moving forward with their heads covered, as if they were going to use their huge impact. With great strength, he broke through the Ming army's low wall trench line in one fell swoop and rushed to the bottom of the Beisha River!
Four battalions with nearly four thousand bayonets formed a shining dense infantry line, more than ten columns deep, rushing forward like a tide, as if they were trying to offset the Ming army's firepower with the number of lives under the cover of gunpowder smoke!Then use flesh and blood to fight for victory or defeat with bare blades. If such "four thousand bayonets" appeared on the battlefield of "Yi Crow", Britain's lobster heavenly soldiers would probably have their scalps numb, right?

Hu Yiqiang heard the voice of Manchurian shouting "Long Live the Mountain" coming from behind him, and immediately knew that the front line was about to be tested. Now he could not stay in the bunker, and ignored the obstruction of his soldiers and staff, he turned around and rushed over. Outside the bunker, he jumped onto the sandbags built with sandbags next to the bunker, raised his binoculars and looked across.

At first, the smoke was still thick and nothing could be seen clearly.I could only hear the roaring sound of waves of people coming from the other side in Manchu language.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army who were hiding from the artillery fire in the ditch ahead also got up and set up their rifles.A breeze blew by, blowing away a layer of smoke. Finally, we could clearly see the formation on the opposite side. Everyone took a breath and then became excited.

Densely packed fusiliers wearing blue coats and warm hats formed rows of lines, rows of fusiliers with bayonets undulating forward. Couldn't there be thousands of them?Every one of them deserves credit!
An officer in the trench had already reacted and shouted loudly: "All infantry, free fire!"

There was a trumpeter accompanying this officer. Upon hearing the officer's order, he immediately took out a suona and blew it hard.

The harsh sound of the suona was still echoing, and rows of large and small fires suddenly flashed along the trench line of the Ming army!The officers and soldiers of the two red flags of the Qing army who were walking at the front suddenly fell down in large pieces as if they were suddenly struck by lightning.The screams began uncontrollably, and there were dying officers and soldiers falling down everywhere!
However, these Qing troops were really fierce. If the front fell, the people behind would immediately come up and continue to move forward!

The Ming army, which relied on trenches and low walls to fight, adopted a "three-stage attack" strategy. One soldier was responsible for firing the gun, and two people kneeling behind were responsible for loading ammunition.The fixed-cavity ammunition currently equipped by the Ming Army is very fast to load - the cavity ammunition is actually a smoothbore gun version of the Mini bullet, which can be made slightly smaller than the standard caliber of a flintlock gun, so it is very easy to load. It's easy, you don't even need to stab it, just hit the ground with the butt of the gun a few times.

The Ming army's flintlock guns had fired row after row, and bullets poured out!However, the Qing army still did not stop and continued to rush towards the Ming army's positions.However, their formation has become chaotic, but it has also become more dense.Without the queue, there would be no queue to shoot. Everyone roared in unison and turned from walking into a charge!Thousands of people, with their heads covered, rushed straight towards the Ming army's position. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the anti-horse gun line in front of the Ming army's position.

These muskets are very effective against cavalry, but they are of little use against infantry and can only be delayed - the infantry will push down or dismantle the muskets.

The Ming army took advantage of their delay to fire and throw grenades!Although their firepower was fierce, they still could not stop the tide of the Eight Banners' new troops.

The fusiliers of the Qing army died one by one, too many to count.But there were still more people who pushed down the horse guns, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, roared, and surged towards the Ming army's position in groups.

Hu Yiqiang put down the telescope, turned around and shouted to the staff officer below: "Blow the drum, blow the charge horn!"

"Yes!"

The drums urging the attack and the shrill charge horns sounded together!
When the Ming troops in the frontline trenches heard the drums and trumpets of the attack, most of them stopped shooting and loading, and one after another took out their bayonets and put them on the barrels of their flintlock guns.Then I saw the captains, lieutenants and platoon leaders of each team climbing out of the trenches and low walls first, and then the soldiers.

The officers all had swords in one hand and pistols in the other, and they all shouted: "The Ming army advances!"

The soldiers all held rifles with bayonets fixed, shouted to kill, and launched a bayonet charge!

For a moment, the gunfire and artillery fire on the right front of the Ming army suddenly fell silent, replaced by earth-shattering shouts from the soldiers on both sides!

"Children of the Eight Banners, get on your horse!"

Hearing the sound of guns and artillery on the front line being replaced by shouts, as soon as Gong Tomoharu knew that his opportunity had come, he quickly took the reins from a Goshiha, then with a loud shout, he was the first to get on his horse and used his hands to Pu Dao pointed forward: "Children of the Eight Banners, charge at me!"

His Goshhars were also very agile. They all got on their horses, then waved their sabers and clapped their horses forward!
More than [-] armored cavalry suddenly launched a charge, undoubtedly catching the Ming army by surprise, who was fighting a hand-to-hand battle with the Qing army and clearly had the upper hand.The latter had no time to form a hollow square formation, and the cavalry led by Tomon Chun easily broke through the battle line!
Pengchun and his Goshiha, who broke through the Ming army's defense line and crossed the Ming army's low walls and trenches, did not hesitate to fight, but rushed towards the depth of the Ming army without hesitation!
His current mission is to disrupt the Ming army's tight front line as much as possible!

"Breakthrough, breakthrough, ancestors bless you."

On the Qing army's position, veteran general Lang Tan put down his telescope and was already in tears.The old general wiped away his tears, turned around and shouted to Ge Shiha next to him: "Beat the drum, march forward and charge with the whole army!"

Goshiha behind him was also extremely excited and replied loudly: "嗻!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of drum sounds sounded on the Qing army's position.

Four infantry battalions with two red flags, which had suffered heavy losses in the previous shootout with the Ming army, were resting and watching the battle. Seeing that the front line had reached a breakthrough, they became excited. Without any urging from the officers, they shouldered their flintlocks and began to form a horizontal line. , and then one team after another, beating military drums, walked towards the Ming army's position where the melee was taking place.
"The deputy general discovered Kangxi! That is the dragon flag of Kangxi, the dog emperor!"

On the south bank of the Beisha River, Li Zhongyi, who had just joined the No. 20 [-]th Division, was listening to a report from a sentry team member running back from the front.

When the Qing army's 17000 cavalry crossed the river before, he was already close to them.

But seeing the numerical advantage of the Qing troops, he did not dare to launch a cavalry charge immediately.

Instead, he sent people to ask Li Zhongshan for reinforcements, and soon the elite 25th Division arrived - in fact, this division was sent to Li Zhongyi immediately after Li Zhongshan learned that a large number of Qing cavalry had crossed the river.That's why it came so quickly.

But he didn't expect that this division would come over, and Li Zhongyi would be lucky enough to meet Kangxi.

"Kangxi? Is it really Kangxi?"

Li Zhongyi couldn't believe his ears.

Kangxi was the Qing Emperor!
If we cut off that pockmarked head with a knife, then he will no longer have a future as a duke... he will be a county king!

"It's absolutely true! Even in a humble position, one can mistake the dragon flag of the Tatar emperor." The sentry team was saying, "And deputy general, listen...those Manchu soldiers are shouting long live! Kangxi is the only one on the Tatar side now. Long live!"

Yes, long live the Qing Dynasty now!
Who else could it be if he wasn't Kangxi?
Li Zhongyi also understands Manchurian. Now he is completely sure that he has great luck... There is Kang Mazi in front of him!

So, he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Send the order and tell the brothers that the Emperor of Manchuria, Kang Mazi, is in front...the same Kang Mazi who dug up the Yellow River and drowned countless people in Huaixi!"

The cavalry under him and the infantry of the No. 20 Fifth Division are also extremely high in content!

Kangxi is now their biggest enemy.

It can be said that catching Kangxi, the dog emperor, is their biggest reward!

When Li Zhongyi's words were spread throughout the army by the soldiers, his 25 cavalry and more than [-] soldiers of the [-]th Division immediately became excited.

The shouts of "Capture Kang Mazi alive" and "Avenge the Huaixi folks" echoed throughout the wilderness!
Immediately afterwards, these 18000 infantry and cavalry were as if they had taken gunpowder and received chicken blood.While shouting slogans about capturing Kangxi and taking revenge, he trotted forward - he was really afraid that Emperor Kangxi would escape!
