serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 110 Rakshasa

The battle that really determines the outcome of the battle has officially begun.

In the gurgling rain, the cavalry on both sides launched the cruelest fighting battle.

The Jinzhou defender knew that the Mongols were weak in combat power, so he led [-] Banner soldiers to the front to withstand the attack of the [-] battalion.

The lieutenant general of the [-] Battalion knew that the Mongols were improvised and lacked overall cooperation, so he thought of the strategy of attacking the weak first and then strengthening, but he was stuck by the Eight Banners soldiers, so he could only deal with the Eight Banners soldiers first.

The Mongols also knew their own weaknesses, so they stayed on the sides and behind the [-] Battalion, launching surprise attacks from time to time, distracting the [-] Battalion's attention, and sharing the pressure on the Eight Banners soldiers in front.

After the initial panic, the [-] Battalion quickly made adjustments. The [-] Yongwei Battalion cavalry guarded the rear, [-] main forces attacked the Eight Banners soldiers from the front, and the remaining [-] people fought back against the Mongols on both wings. , They have been fighting the Mongols all the year round, and they know each other very well. As long as they fight hard, these Mongols can run faster than anyone else.

The lieutenant-general of the [-] Battalion was commanding the battle while observing the situation on the battlefield. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, which was very unfavorable to his own side. The armor became cold under the washing of the rain, which would consume a lot of soldiers' physical strength. If they could not be defeated quickly Eight Banners soldiers, their own side will fall into a disadvantage.

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of horns, and in the rain, musketeers with bayonets in their hands lined up and slowly pushed across.

Twenty thousand firecrackers lined up in a huge phalanx, slowly approaching the flanks of the Mongols amidst the sound of orderly footsteps.

Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Seeing Zhou Jun's gunfire soldiers approaching him slowly, it was dark and boundless, which put a lot of pressure on the Mongols. At this distance, the horses could not run, and the collision effect could not be exerted, and there were too many people on the other side. , and the densely packed bayonets, it's scary to look at!
The guard of Jinzhou shouted to the soldiers around him: "Let the Mongols block the Zhou army, or everyone will be finished!"

Looking at the Zhou army slowly approaching, and then glanced at the dawdling Mongols, the guard of Jinzhou has realized that the Qing Dynasty is likely to be defeated in this battle, not because of the strength of the Zhou army, but because of the strength of the Mongols. Timid and cowardly.

Finally, a group of Mongolians roared "hehe", galloping their horses and raising their swords to meet them.

The Yongwei Battalion stopped in their tracks, and the firecrackers in the first three rows smashed the butts of their guns to the ground. These nearly two-meter-long firecrackers immediately turned into a forest of bayonets.

The Mongols delayed for too long, the distance between the two sides was less than [-] steps, the cavalry arrived in an instant, and did not exert the effect of the collision. Looking at the densely packed bayonets, many Mongols closed their eyes amidst screams. eyes.

In an instant, the Mongols crashed into the army formation. The gunfire soldiers in the first row were still knocked out by the huge body of the horse, and even the soldiers in the second row were crushed to the ground by the horse's corpse.

The first two rows of firecrackers successfully blocked the Mongols. Under the order of the officer, the third row of firecrackers raised the firecrackers in their hands and stabbed forward, inch by inch. Amid the desperate roar of the Mongols , The bayonet pierced holes in their bodies, the blood was soaring, and the Mongols fell from the horses with wide-eyed eyes.

It's pouring rain!

Eunuch Zhao anxiously walked back and forth in front of the gate, and a young eunuch chased him with an umbrella.

Jia Hu closed his eyes and looked up to the sky. The sudden heavy rain put the Yongwei Battalion in a dangerous situation. If the [-] Battalion could not defeat the Eight Banners soldiers as soon as possible, they would lose the battle.

In order to share the pressure on the [-] Battalion, Jia Hu ignored the eunuch Zhao's dissuasion and sent the firecrackers up. Looking at the pikemen who had just withdrawn and took off their heavy armor, Jia Hu sighed and turned his eyes to the battlefield.

Xie Qiong, Wang Ziteng and others raised their clairvoyance and stared closely at the battlefield, waiting for a turning point, waiting for the [-] Battalion to defeat the Eight Banners soldiers.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the entire battlefield was submerged in the rain.

Someone exclaimed: "Retreat! The Mongols are retreating!"

Xie Qiong was excited: "Commander, the Yongwei Battalion repelled the Mongols!"

Jia Hu's hand holding the rein trembled.

On the other side, Yong Qi was stunned on the spot.

On the battlefield, the Mongols fled in all directions, and even the Mongols who besieged the [-] battalion also deserted.

After regaining consciousness, Yong Qi threw the clairvoyance in his hand to the ground, and shouted to the leader of the white armor soldiers beside him: "You lead all the white armor soldiers and Eight Banner soldiers to support and defeat the [-] battalion in one fell swoop!"

At this moment, a warning horn sounded from behind. Yong Qi was startled, and turned her head to look, only to see a Sauron soldier galloping towards Yong Qi, reined in the reins, and said loudly: "Young master, an army has appeared in the northeast, and the situation is unknown."

Yong Qi frowned: "Explore again."

The Sauron soldier: "Hey!" He ran out again.

The leader of the white armor soldiers: "Young master?"

Yong Qi pondered for a while, and said, "Wait." Her eyes turned to several Mongolian princes beside her.

Several Mongolian princes sat on their horses without any reaction.

Yongqi's face turned red, and in the distance, another Sauron soldier came galloping on horseback, and said loudly: "Young master, he is from the Zhasaktu Khan tribe, with about 3 to [-] horses, and one Thousands of Rakshasa cavalry."

Yong Qi's heart skipped a beat, why did they appear here?How did the cavalry of the Raksha people enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty?
Another Sauron soldier rushed over: "Report! The Zhasaktu Khan tribe launched an attack on our cavalry, and the distance from here is less than [-] miles."

Yongqi's face sank: "Is it the people from Zasaktu Khan who took the initiative to attack the ranger?"

That Sauron soldier: "Yes."

Several Mongolian princes finally spoke:
"My lord, hurry up and withdraw your troops!"

"Yeah, the other party is obviously not kind!"

"The Rakshasa ghost is very ferocious."

"The warriors have tried their best, and it will be dangerous if they continue to fight."

Seeing the Mongols running around, Yong Qi knew that there was no chance, and another Rakshasa came behind him, and if he continued to fight, the whole army might be wiped out.

Yong Qi gritted her teeth: "Okay! I agree to withdraw the troops, but you have to send people to meet them!"

Several Mongolian princes responded in unison: "Hey."

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Soon, the bell for withdrawing troops rang, and the Mongols quickly left the battlefield, and Sa Yazi ran fast. As for the Eight Banners soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the [-] battalion, it had nothing to do with them. They twitched their horses and rolled backwards run.

Seeing such a scene, the two Mongolian princes who led the troops to respond blushed. Seeing this, they could only bring all the troops forward to put pressure on the Han people so that the Eight Banners soldiers could withdraw and retreat.

After a while, most of the Mongols retreated to the back.

Looking at these Mongolians who were running out of breath, Yongqi's face was distorted with anger, and suddenly thought of something, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow the breath with saliva.

Because the Mongols ran too fast, the unprepared Eight Banners soldiers were embarrassed. In order to quickly leave the battlefield, the guard of Jinzhou could only reluctantly leave some troops behind and led the remnants to escape.

In the gurgling rain, there were fleeing Eight Banners soldiers and Mongols everywhere.

Seeing such a dramatic scene, not to mention Xie Qiong and the others, even Jia Hu was stunned, and he said after a long while: "Ming Jin withdraws!"

Seeing that the Mongols on the opposite side withdrew from the battlefield after receiving the remnants of the Eight Banners, Jia Hu said to Xie Qiong, "Send out the horses to see what's going on?"

The heavy rain continued until the end of the day.

Two large pots of open fire were burned in the big tent of the Chinese army. Everyone changed into clean clothes and sat there silently looking at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu flipped through the battle reports sent by the battalions, fell silent for a while, and said, "In this battle, more than 750 soldiers from the Eight Banners were killed, while less than 610 Mongols were killed. Our army suffered more than 150 casualties, including three soldiers with spears and heavy armor. There are 760 people, and [-] people are being treated. There are [-] and [-] sword and shield soldiers, and [-] and [-] people are being treated.

There are 370 firearms and 680 people are being treated.The 950 Battalion killed 360 people, and another [-] people were slightly or seriously injured. "

Having said that, he paused for a while, "Most of the casualties occurred after the heavy rain."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then turned their attention to Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao picked up the medicine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "This is already a big victory, and the miscellaneous family will tell His Majesty the truth. God is going to rain, and no one can stop it. The commander and the generals have done their best. gone."

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Xie Qiong, and continued, "General Xie still needs to read more military books."

Xie Qiong blushed and was about to speak.

Jia Hu said: "The Manchus withdrew too suddenly, they must have been threatened."

Before he could say a word, there was the sound of horseshoes outside the tent, and after a while, a spy rushed in: "Report! A large army has appeared in the northeast, less than [-] miles away from the camp, and is confronting the Manchus and Mongols!"

Jia Hu: "Explore again."

The spy: "No!" He ran out again.

Another spies rushed in and reported to Jia Hu: "Commander, Mr. Liu captured a Mongolian headman, and got the news from him that he was a member of the Zhasaktu Khan tribe. They colluded with Luo Sharen wanted to sneak attack the Manchus."

"Raksha people?"

Jia Hu was startled, didn't the Manchu just bought a large number of self-generated firecrackers from the Raksha Kingdom?Started stabbing the money before it was warmed up?Or are they putting on a play for themselves?It's just that the price of this game is a bit high.

Jia Hu sat there, thinking for a while, and then said to Yang Dayong: "Immediately organize people to dig trenches, quickly." Then he said to the generals of the Firearms Battalion: "Immediately select soldiers from the Sword and Shield Battalion to supplement. Get ready for a big fight."
