I'm in the Red Mansion

The commander of this 3,000 cavalry was Longduo of the Plain Yellow Banner.

Rondo is brave and good at fighting. He has experienced more than a dozen battles, big and small, and can be said to be invincible.

Originally, he did not take the Daxia army seriously at all.

But now, when countless Xia troops stood up on both sides and attacked them.

Rondo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
Oh no, the Zhongxia army is ambushed!
Judging from the number of people ambushing on both sides, there may be tens of thousands of them!
It can be seen that the Xia army was well prepared.

The funny thing is that they were totally unaware of it.

Before this, they all looked down on the Xia army.

It turned out that Xia Jun was so patient that he waited until this perfect opportunity before showing his fangs.

Rondo was very experienced, and in just a moment he determined that they were likely to be in great danger on this trip.

But at this moment, we must not hesitate and must not get entangled with the Xia army.

The only option now is to charge forward desperately and fight their way out of the situation. Perhaps they will still have a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, Rondo did not hesitate any more and did not care about the central and rear troops that had been surrounded.

He brandished the long sword in his hand and shouted sternly: "Everyone listen up, follow me and fight your way forward!"

"Yes, General!"

Under the leadership of Rondo, about a thousand Eight Banners cavalrymen fought hard forward.

At this time, Jia Cong had already led the army to turn around and charge towards more than a thousand Eight Banners cavalrymen.

At this moment, the three thousand cavalrymen felt as if they were dreaming.

Only then did they react.

It turned out that all this was within the general's calculations.

It turned out that we from Daxia had already ambushed an army here.

This discovery made them feel a little relieved.

However, looking at the Eight Banners cavalry rushing towards them with murderous intent.

The 3,000 cavalrymen in the cavalry battalion couldn't help but feel afraid.

If there are less than ten thousand Eight Banners, they will be invincible!
Although the number of the Eight Banners cavalry in front of them was less than 10,000, they still encountered an ambush by them.

However, the idea that the Eight Banners were invincible was still deeply rooted in their hearts and could not be broken.

Before the war even starts, he's already starting to get timid.

As for Jia Cong, his command ability has almost reached perfection, so he can naturally notice this.

This made Jia Cong sigh.

It is easy to defeat the enemy in the mountains, but difficult to defeat the enemy in the heart.

In this battle, we must not only win, but also eliminate the thief in the soldiers' hearts!
Otherwise, if we are afraid before the battle, how can we fight against the Qing Dynasty in the future?
The next moment, Jia Cong took out his longbow and aimed at the general who was charging on the opposite side.

Whoosh!
The arrow cut through time and space like a flash of lightning, and the next moment, it hit Rondo's throat.

But Rondo's heart tightened at first, and then he heard the sharp sound of an arrow breaking through the air.

He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly dodged while trying to block with his knife.

But the arrow was so fast that it was impossible to hit it in time.

This arrow pierced his throat.

The next moment, Rondo was thrown backwards from the horse's back.

At that moment, Rondo only felt his breath was choked, but he didn't feel any pain.

His last look was towards the northeast.

That is the direction of his hometown.

This time, there’s no going back!
Soon, Longzhong fell heavily to the ground and was soon trampled beyond recognition by horses' hooves.

Only his eyes were wide open, unable to close until his death.

Rondo's death caused a commotion among the Eight Banners Cavalry.

However, this is just the beginning.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Next, Jia Cong let them see what it means to be the best archer in the world!

The distance between the two sides was already very short.

Originally, the distance between them was only one or two miles.

By the time the Eight Banners cavalry fell into an ambush, Jia Cong led the cavalry battalion to turn their horses around, and the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters.

Then Jia Cong shot and killed the Qing general Longduo with one arrow, and the distance between the two sides had reached 150 meters.

Moreover, the two sides were moving towards each other, and the distance between them was shrinking rapidly.

At this distance, except Jia Cong, no other cavalrymen dared to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

The distance between the two sides is really too short.

It is so short that there is only enough time to shoot an arrow, and the next moment there may be a close combat.

Perhaps he had just shot an arrow and before he could change weapons, the enemy's scimitar would chop off his head.

Only Jia Cong did not need to aim at all when shooting arrows, and his shooting speed was extremely fast.

In this short sprint, he shot out three or four arrows in succession.

And every arrow could take the life of a small Qing army leader.

A snake can't do without a head.

The death of their general and two or three small leaders made the Eight Banners cavalry even more chaotic.

The next moment, Jia Cong quickly threw the longbow onto his back.

He raised the spear in his hand high, took the lead, and rushed in first.

Fifty-one personal soldiers protected Jia Cong and killed his enemies all the way.

The spear in Jia Cong's hand was like a dragon exploring the sea. Not only was the spear as fast as lightning, it was also strange and unpredictable.

Wherever he went, there was no enemy that could match him.

All the enemies they encountered were knocked off their horses.

The fifty-one personal soldiers led by Jia Cong formed a triangle at this time, like a wedge, piercing directly into the belly of the Eight Banners cavalry.

The formation of the Eight Banners Cavalry is in chaos!

As Jia Cong charged forward, the cavalry began to be infected by Jia Cong.

And they soon discovered that the Eight Banners Cavalry was not as powerful as they had imagined.

They are not invincible!

The battle between the two sides lasted only a cup of tea.

After a cup of tea, the cavalry was defeated.

In fact, the fact that they could hold out for so long was beyond Jia Cong's expectations.

First they encountered an ambush, and only a thousand or so soldiers from the front army rushed out.

Then he shot and killed their general and two or three small leaders with a few arrows.

They were almost killed by themselves, which led to the defeat of this Eight Banners cavalry.

Such resilience has made Jia Cong look at her with new eyes and praise her endlessly.

The Eight Banners Cavalry is indeed very powerful!

However, once they were defeated, they would be no different from other defeated soldiers.

After the defeat, they can only turn their backs to the enemy and be slaughtered at will.

Jia Cong took the lead and slaughtered the Qing army ruthlessly.

The three thousand cavalrymen were howling and chasing and killing desperately.

This is a great achievement in battle. It really is true that those who are quick to act will gain the reward. Those who are slow will lose the reward.

If you grab one more, you may be promoted to a higher rank and receive a generous reward.

This made the three thousand cavalrymen extremely ferocious and turned them into butchers.

After a fierce charge, only a hundred Qing cavalrymen escaped.

Jia Cong gathered his troops and did not continue the pursuit.

As the saying goes, never chase an enemy who is desperate!
Well, the main thing is that Jia Cong is not sure whether there are any Qing troops coming to support him.

His Insight skill, while powerful, still has a range limit.

Once we are more than three or five miles away, there is no way to observe carefully and we will not be able to understand the movements of the enemy.

Now, they have won a big enough victory.

There is no need to put yourself in danger just for a few hundred defeated soldiers.

Next, Jia Cong ordered his soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield.

Then they joined up with the 10,000 infantrymen who were lying in ambush.

The infantry retreated.

Jia Cong led 3,000 cavalrymen to cover the infantry around.

The commander of this infantry was Zhou Shan.

He has always been close to Niu Jizong.

Zhou Shan is also an old general.

When Jia Cong first arrived, Zhou Shan was quite disapproving of him.

Didn’t he just kill nearly a hundred Qing soldiers on the way?

It's like he has killed someone before.

It's just luck that we met a group of weak opponents. How about going to the battlefield and fighting those Eight Banners cavalry?
This time, he was sent by Niu Jizong to set an ambush, and after hearing that it was Jia Cong's idea.

Zhou Shan became even more disapproving.

He also had some complaints about Niu Jizong in his heart, thinking that Niu Jizong valued that boy too much.

However, it might not be without danger if he led an army of 10,000 out of the city.

If he falls into the Qing Dynasty's trap, we will have to see how Niu Jizong ends up.

However, what he never expected was that General Jia was actually so brave!
He actually killed nearly three thousand whip soldiers.

This cannot be faked. The heads of those soldiers with queues were hung on the backs of horses of the 3,000 Cavalry Battalion, and their queues were still swinging.

And he actually led 3,000 Eight Banners cavalry into the encirclement.

This ambush was extremely easy for them.

Taking advantage of their rest to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, ten thousand men ambush three thousand men, and all they need to do is shoot arrows.

They easily defeated nearly two thousand Qing soldiers without even a single death.

They had never dared to dream of such a result before.

Such military exploits might not be accumulated in ten years under normal circumstances.

What surprised Zhou Shan even more was the bravery of General Jia and the transformation of the 3,000-man cavalry battalion.

This General Jia is so brave!
Not only did four arrows kill the Qing army generals, but the remaining three arrows also killed three small leaders of the Qing army.

And then, he led the way, with a spear in hand, and charged into the enemy army, without any chance of matching his opponent.

What a brave general! I am no match for him!
After this battle, the 3,000 cavalry soldiers also completed a transformation.

Their mentality has changed.

Next time they encounter Qing soldiers, they will no longer be afraid.

Of course, his own 10,000 soldiers had also undergone some changes.

He also unexpectedly gained a lot of military merits, almost as if he had found them for free.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shan began to become polite and respectful towards Jia Cong.

Two hours later, Jia Cong and Zhou Shan finally retreated back to the outside of the South Gate.

This made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

On the city wall, Niu Jizong stood with his eyes wide open, almost like a husband-waiting stone.

After Jia Cong left the city, he regretted it.

I regretted listening to his lies and sending out 10,000 infantrymen.

If they were accidentally ambushed by the Qing Dynasty, these 10,000 infantrymen would be killed.

I'm afraid that his career as the General Who Conquers the Northern Front will be over.

Ever since Jia Cong left, he has been looking eagerly towards the south.

All kinds of bad thoughts emerged in his mind, making Niu Jizong more and more anxious. Until now, Niu Jizong saw an army approaching from afar.

Because of the distance, Niu Jizong couldn't see clearly whether it was the Qing army or the Xia army.

His heart was in his throat.

As the army got closer, Niu Jizong finally saw that it was the Xia army!
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

As the distance got closer, he found that the number of people did not seem to decrease.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief again.

As long as we don’t lose many people, it’s good. Even if we lose, it’s not unacceptable.

As the distance got closer, Niu Jizong began to make surprising discoveries.

It seems that this time, not only did we not lose, but we won?
First of all, both the cavalry battalion and the infantry captured many war horses.

They also obtained a lot of armor, weapons and other items.

When he got closer, Niu Jizong could clearly see that it seemed that every cavalry regiment had the head of a soldier with a pigtail hanging on his horse!

This time, it was a big victory!

For a moment, Niu Jizong grinned with joy and couldn't close his mouth for a while!

Big win!

It turned out to be a big victory!
I decisively sent the young man Jia Cong to attack, and also sent out 10,000 ambush troops. It was really wise!

"Open the city gates and follow me to welcome the heroes!"

"Yes, General!"

Next, Niu Jizong opened the city gate and went out to greet them in person with his personal soldiers.

Outside the city, Niu Jizong was seen coming out to greet them.

Jia Cong and Zhou Shan jumped off their horses.

The two men looked at each other, and Zhou Shan automatically took a half step back to let Jia Cong go first.

Jia Cong did not back down either, and stepped forward to report: "General, the cavalry battalion went into battle this time and annihilated 2,123 Qing troops in ambush!"

"In the ambush behind, 962 Manchu Eight Banners cavalrymen were annihilated, 932 war horses were captured, and a number of weapons and armor were captured!"

"In my cavalry battalion, 32 people died, 53 were seriously injured, and 162 were slightly injured."

The death toll soared in the second encounter.

Of course, this ratio is already outrageous.

After hearing this, Niu Jizong became more excited.

This record is simply incredible!
This great victory alone is enough for him to give an explanation to His Majesty.

With this great victory, he was not only blameless, but also meritorious.

Thinking of this, Niu Jizong was overjoyed and said, "Great, great! After I go back, I will ask for credit for you!"

After Jia Cong finished his report, Zhou Shan stepped forward and reported: "General, our left army has killed 1,762 enemies and captured 1,532 horses! A number of armor and weapons!"

"In this battle, no one from my left army was killed, and only 67 were slightly injured!"

The casualties of the left army were even more amazing, with not a single person killed in action.

Of course, the left army was in an ambush, so basically all they had to do was stand up and shoot arrows.

In terms of difficulty, they cannot compare with Jia Cong's cavalry battalion.

After hearing this, Niu Jizong became more excited.

It turned out that even the left army had a fruitful harvest.

In this battle, four to five thousand braid soldiers were killed.

This was one of the rare major victories since the war with the Qing Dynasty.

Niu Jizong couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay!"

"General Zhou, you have worked hard. I will certainly commend you for your hard work later!"

At this time, Zhou Shan said, "General, I dare not take credit for it. This time, it was all thanks to General Jia's planning. I just picked up an advantage and dare not take credit for it."

Niu Jizong laughed and said, "General Zhou, there is no need to be polite. We all deserve credit, all deserve credit!"

"Come on, follow me back to the city. I will kill cattle and sheep to reward the troops!"

"Thank you General!"

Next, the news of this great victory spread quickly throughout Liangcheng like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The soldiers and civilians in the entire Liangcheng were all ecstatic.

For a time, Jia Cong and Zhou Shan became omnipotent heroes.

Of course, Jia Cong's reputation is more famous.

As expected, Niu Jizong ordered his men to slaughter cattle and sheep as rewards for the three armies.

After returning, Niu Jizong took the battle report written by Jia Cong and Zhou Shan.

Then he carefully considered his words and wrote the battle report himself, and sent it out urgently over 800 miles.

With this great victory, I feel that this war has been a success without any mistakes.

Niu Jizong also judged that the Qing army would not give up after suffering a great loss this time.

Next, they might launch an offensive.

As long as they can withstand this wave of offensive from the Qing army, the two sides will probably have peace talks next.

In fact, when two armies are at war, they should not just passively defend themselves.

Only after winning a few battles and scaring the enemy will we be able to negotiate peace.

Yes, Niu Jizong’s biggest ambition now is to be able to withstand the attack of the Qing Dynasty and then negotiate.

He never thought of defeating the Qing Dynasty, let alone taking back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Well, in fact, Niu Jizon’s performance has surpassed many civil and military officials in the court.

They don't even want to fight, they just want to negotiate.

After Jia Cong returned, he was not very happy.

Because this time, thirty-two of them died and fifty-three were seriously injured.

After the celebration banquet, Jia Cong took a packet of medicine and went straight to the wounded soldiers' camp.

In this day and age, even minor injuries are extremely dangerous.

Being seriously injured almost means having one foot at the gate of hell.

In this era, there are no antibiotics and tetanus cannot be prevented.

Whether it is wound inflammation or fever, it may take the life of the injured person.

Being seriously injured almost means waiting to die.

Jia Cong entered the camp for wounded soldiers and smelled a very bad odor, a rotten smell.

The wounded inside groaned in despair.

After seeing Jia Cong, the wounded soldiers couldn't help but shout:
"General! General!"

These wounded soldiers were inexplicably excited.

Jia Cong was speechless. They were all about to die, so why should he be moved?

Well, that's the soldier of this era.

A gentleman will die for his friend, this is not just talk.

As a general, I just came to visit them and they were so moved.

Jia Cong walked to the first seriously injured man, asked him to turn sideways, then he personally unwrapped the package to reveal his wound.

Jia Cong discovered that his wound had begun to become inflamed.

If it is not treated in time, he will probably have a fever and die soon.

Jia Cong ordered his personal soldiers to fetch the tool box, take out a scalpel that he had sharpened himself, and heat it to disinfect it first.

Then he said to the wounded man, "Niu Dali, bear with it for a while. I will clean your wound. Two people come and hold him down. Don't let him move."

"Yes, General!"

Niu Dali couldn't help sobbing, "General, I can't do it anymore. I have only one worthless life, so I'd rather die than dirty your hands!"

Jia Cong said rudely: "Shut up!"

Then he took out the alcohol and poured it directly on the wound.

"Ouch!"

Niu Dali suddenly let out a scream that shook the earth.

Next, Jia Cong used a homemade scalpel to clean his wound and then reapplied medicine.

After bandaging Niu Dali, Jia Cong moved on to the next one.

If these seriously injured soldiers are not treated in time, I'm afraid not even one out of ten will survive.

After treatment, at least four or five out of ten people can survive.

Next, Jia Cong began to clean and bandage the wounds of these seriously ill soldiers one by one and reapply medicine.

Every critically ill patient that Jia Cong treated had tears in his eyes.

Most of it was due to pain. This time when he came to join the army, Jia Cong brought some medicine, but he did not bring Mafosan.

There is no way to disinfect, so these seriously ill soldiers can only suffer.

And a small number of people were moved.

The general personally cleaned their wounds and applied medicine. What an honor!
According to their simple ideas, even if they die now, their life will be worth it.

In fact, cleaning and bandaging wounds is quite time-consuming, especially since each wound must be disinfected again after each one is bandaged.

After bandaging seven or eight people, it began to get dark.

Some soldiers then advised Jia Cong to go eat first, and several doctors were about to come up to replace Jia Cong.

Jia Cong couldn't help but said with a straight face: "There's no rush to eat. It won't be too late to eat after all the critically ill patients have been bandaged."

"If you guys had bandaged it before, why would I have to bandage it again?"

"Next, you will see how I bandage the wound. Watch carefully and follow my method from now on."

"Yes, General!"

Next, Jia Cong did not hide anything and patiently taught several doctors how to treat wounds.

The medical skills of doctors in the army are really hard to describe, and most of the time they try to save the patient.

Fortunately, they were obedient enough and listened carefully to Jia Cong's teachings, so they learned quite quickly.

Even so, after bandaging fifty-three seriously ill patients, a night had long passed and it was already bright outside.

In the middle of the night, a few people had fever, so Jia Cong took some medicine and ordered people to feed it to them.

After dawn, more and more soldiers outside learned the news.

They all quietly came and stood outside the wounded soldiers' camp.

More and more people came, and in the end, more than 2,000 soldiers had almost all arrived.

They just stood there quietly, and even they themselves didn't know what the meaning of standing like this was.

However, it seems that only in this way can they express their inner feelings.

Jia Cong rebandaged the wounds of fifty-three seriously ill patients in a row.

He also patiently gave instructions to several military doctors.

Let them keep the room ventilated and sprinkle quicklime for disinfection. Any patient with fever should be given the medicine given by Jia Cong.

You must always be alert to inflammation of the wounds of seriously ill patients, and call him at any time if there is anything wrong.

After giving careful instructions, Jia Cong finally stood up.

After a busy night, even though Jia Cong had an extraordinary physique, he staggered when he stood up.

The two panicked bodyguards rushed to help him, but were pushed away by Jia Cong with disgust.

When the general walked out of the wounded camp, he was startled to see a large group of soldiers standing outside.

When the soldiers outside saw Jia Cong coming out, they couldn't help but shout, "General!"

Many soldiers were in tears without realizing it.

Jia Cong couldn't help but curse, "Everything is alright, right? What are you all doing here? Go and train with me if you have nothing to do!"

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in war. I brought you to the battlefield to get promoted and make money, not to let you die in vain!"

"And that crybaby, get out of here right now, you coward! You're an eyesore to me!" (End of this chapter)
