Win the Ding 1617

A few drums sounded, and the flag waved.

The two white banners under the command of the Dorgon brothers who were preparing to fight against the Ming army and the southern Guangdong army in the Tashan area, as well as the banners temporarily assigned to them, gathered in front of Dorgon with Niulu as a unit. No matter how the sea breeze blows, tens of thousands of people dare not move.

Following Duoduo's order, Cao Zhenyan ordered Niulu to beat the single drum, and the Ba Yala soldiers on both sides escorted more than a hundred defeated soldiers with two white flags tied like zongzi to the front of the army.

"The emperor just sent a minister to reward my two white flag soldiers, Ma Jiamian, and you lost the positions of Diayu Mountain and Hongluo Mountain one after another in a day, so that Li Huamei and Wu Sangui could rely on the top of Hongluo Mountain to set up The cannons bombarded our Eight Banners army and horse positions at will, and then rushed towards our Tashanbao position with elite self-fighting Yushan. Tell me, how should this king deal with you?"

In front of tens of thousands of subordinates lined up, Dorgon's voice was extremely peaceful, like a calm river, like a mirror like a stone.But Cao Zhenyan, who was holding the command flag in his hand, trembled in his heart!This master seemed to be really angry. His tone was calm, without emotions of joy, anger, sorrow or joy, but it showed that he was trying to suppress his emotions.These people are miserable today!

The defeated soldiers all looked as haggard as defeated catkins, but kept pleading with Dorgon, willing to act as dead soldiers to retake Hongluo Mountain and Diayu Mountain, so that they could have a chance to make up for their mistakes.

"That's unnecessary. Come!"

A long time ago, Ba Ya La Tzu Zhangjing led a group of wolf-like Ba Ya La soldiers and escorted another group of people out of the crowd.

"According to the military discipline of my Eight Banners Army, those who flee before the battle and lose their ground will be killed! I will add another one today. You see, have these people been familiar with?"

Weeping.Someone tried to open his swollen eyes from the beating, but on the opposite side who were also tied with ropes were a group of women and children.

"Do you know why this king brought your family here together? This is the tomb of my two white flag troops! We won this battle. We walked out of the grave and lost. Everyone brought their wives and children together Buried in the sea!"

Dorgon's tone finally returned to the state of a living person, not like the one who was not angry at all just now, "You lost your troops and lost your ground, which damaged the vigor and prestige of my Eight Banners army. Therefore, today, this king will fulfill your wish." Wait, send your family on the road together!"

Two gongs sounded loudly, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground.The head, which was still dripping with blood, was picked up high by the Bala soldiers with long spears, and rode past in front of the two white-flag soldiers lined up in units of Niulu.Wherever they went, everyone was sweating on their backs.But the soldiers in the Coated Niulu took it for granted, they were originally slaves' slaves, life and death were not under their control, they just had to fight forward with all their might!

"The emperor has granted me the right to act arbitrarily at will. Today, this king will act arbitrarily in front of Master Fan! Now, this king announces the method of reward for this battle!"

Dorgon urged him to sit down on his war horse, and the good horse with Dashi bloodline and Horqin grassland bloodline took small steps in front of the line of coated cattle. Dorgon's voice reached the ears of every wrapped soldier.

"Wait for this group of coated slaves. Today, the king has spoken. Although you used to support you with fat chickens and ducks in the past, you are all very respectful to the master of the king. In fact, there is no day. I don’t want to climb up to be my master! It’s okay, this king will give you this chance today!”

"If you can hold the position and kill a soldier of the Nanman, you will be promoted immediately and become a member of the Two White Banners. Those who capture and kill a battalion officer and above will be promoted to three ranks and will be rewarded with half a career. Those who capture and kill a general of the Ming Dynasty and above, this king and He became a brother, and asked the emperor for a reward, to enter my Great Qing clan, and have an extra red belt around his waist!"...

bang.As the Bayala soldiers behind Dorgon neatly repeated Dorgon's reward loudly, more than 2 coated soldiers and their families could hear clearly.Obediently!Just hold your ground.Kill another barbarian soldier, and we are no longer a coat.It's the master of the two white flags who are serious!If you're lucky, you'll have an extra red belt around your waist, and we'll be happy in the future!

The emotions of the soldiers in the coat were immediately raised to the burning point like a volcanic eruption, and they wished they could turn around and enter the parapet of the trench immediately, and knock down the bright teams that would commit crimes in the future one by one!

As for the rewards announced by Prince Rui's master and the flagmen of the two white flags, not many people paid attention to them.

However, what was announced next stimulated the emotions of everyone present!

"As for the slaves of the two white flags, this king has nothing to reward you, unless I give you my position. If any of you are willing to do it, this king, the prince of Prince Rui, will give it to you immediately! But you You have to promise this king that you must guard Tashan and do well the errands assigned by the emperor! Otherwise, your whole family will end up like just now! Don’t say that this king is cruel and merciless, you slaves will also I have followed my brothers several times to enter the customs and fight Ming, and Li Shouhan is no stranger to him! What kind of hatred this person has for my Eight Banners, and what he has done in Nanzhong, you are also clear! If it is his If the army enters Liaodong, your whole family will still die. However, your wives and daughters may still be used before they die, and what happened to Concubine Chen is the end of all your wives and daughters."

"If no one is willing to take on this burden, then obey the king's military law. I'll explain the content below. If you don't hear it clearly, you're unlucky. My knife doesn't care if you hear it or not!"

"Those who enter the former will die without reward. Even if they want to be rewarded, there is no way to investigate. If they retreat, they will live without punishment. Even if they want to punish them, there is no way to investigate. Now there must be restraint! If ten people retreat together when they are strong and do not retreat, then A strong man can kill ten people. If the distribution of the Shiku does not retreat and the subordinates retreat together, then the Zhuang will be killed. Niu Luzhangjing does not retreat but Niu Lu retreats together, then the kill is assigned to the Shiku. Jia Lazhangjing does not retreat but a Jia If the lala retreat together, Niulu will be killed. If one lala retreats together, only Lazhangjing will be killed. If one flag retreats together, the banner master Baylor will be killed. The above are all the same. Looking at it this way, no more than three or five people were killed, which seems to be the same as soldiers. No matter, you can still retreat, but you have to think about it carefully. This method means that millions of soldiers advance and retreat at a time. They also have to be investigated. Although only a few people are killed, you are not afraid of millions of you. You can't retreat Listen to me for this reason. For example, when all the others retreat together, Niu Luzhangjing must be killed. But when Niuluzhangjing sees him retreating alone, he will never retreat. If Niuluzhangjing does not retreat alone, he will not be able to support If the enemy must be killed in front of the battle, this king will kill several of his subordinates and distribute Shiku. I will use his wives, children and property to pay you Niu Luzhangjing's order. Distributed Shiku will not see Niu Luzhangjing Retire, fearing that Niu Luzhang Jing will be killed in the battle, he should pay his own life to repay the debt, even if he has allotted Shiku, he will not dare to retreat. His subordinates are strong, seeing that the boss who should be in charge will not retreat, fearing that the master will be killed in battle, he is also afraid that he will have to pay for his life. Even if you protect your share, you dare not retreat. If you strengthen your soldiers, you may die in battle. All the soldiers should be beheaded, so you will protect your strength and fight to the death. You will not retreat. This is not what you die. Only those who die in battle Three or five subordinates. Even a million people must be of the same mind. Who dares to retreat first? This is called the method of sitting together! This method means that in the whole army, everyone is like a knife on their head and tied like a rope. Standing on the heels, looking at each other joint by joint, even sitting and dragging, no one can escape."

Perhaps it was because of the worry that such half-literate vocabulary would make the vast majority of illiterate soldiers unable to understand it.Simply standing on the saddle, Dorgon shouted loudly towards the crowded heads: "The Ba Yala soldiers of this king are the executioners of the whole army! And the officials at all levels are also the executioners of the subordinates! Soldiers retreat. Zhuang kill Zhuang Da retreats, Niu Lu kills. Niu Lu retreats, Jia La kills! Jia La retreats, Banner Master kills! I Dorgon retreats, the whole army can be killed!”…

The promulgation of the military law made Fan Wencheng, the Minister of the Decree, tremble with fear, and then he admired it quite a bit, "Prince Rui's move will definitely win the death of the soldiers. The whole army, the dead in battle will also be rewarded." Great advantage, if you retreat, you will only have a dead end!"

Seeing Dorgon galloping against the sea wind amidst the roaring and undulating crowd like waves, and the vigorous and brave Ba Yala soldiers creating a small wave behind him, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but feel agitated.

"The emperor has been in poor health since the unfortunate death of the concubine Chen. Now that there is a big war, he handles countless important military affairs every day, eats little food and has a lot of things. I am afraid that after this battle, no matter the victory or defeat, the emperor's dragon body will also be weak. It's going to crash. Shouldn't I have planned earlier, too?"

The day after Fan Wencheng left, October 14th, [-]th year of Chongzhen.

A round of red sun irradiated the sea with unruly waves, and the beating waves shone with a slightly dazzling light, which made people squint their eyes.Someone wrapped up the cotton armor tightly, trying to resist the cold wind blowing from the sea.Fortunately, judging by the degree of swing of the flag, today's wind is not as strong as usual. If the sun is so good, it should be a very warm day today.

Um? !A white-flag-coated soldier in the lead rubbed his eyes at his sentry post, and from the sea behind Fishing Mountain, and even further away, densely packed sampans slowly rowed towards this side.Looking out to the sea, large and small sampans almost cover the water surface as far as the eye can see.

Those barbarian soldiers are finally coming to die!All the coated soldiers couldn't help but tightly held the firecrackers in their hands, and took a deep breath!

Jialazhangjing, a wrapped soldier, was surrounded by more than a dozen guards, going back and forth between trenches, parapets, and bunkers, cheering and encouraging his soldiers loudly.He shouted loudly: "Slaves, today is the day for us to raise the flag! Don't be afraid of death, you must be afraid of death! These southern barbarians are here to supply us with military leaders!!"

Everyone in the trench was jubilant, and some people shouted: "Brothers, kill those little southern barbarians!"

"See how much blood they have, it can dye this sea red!"

Dorgon, who was still commanding the whole army under the title of General, and his younger brother Duduo, who had recently been given the title of General Yangwu, had two-faced gold-woven dragon banners flying and rolling in the gusts of sea wind.Those who followed the banners of the two, in addition to their many slaves and guards, followed the dragon banner of the second banner, Baya Latiao Zhangjing.Behind the dragon banner, there are all Ba Yala soldiers wearing three layers of armor and riding horses on their hips.Behind the Ba Yala soldiers are the soldiers from the Alihachaoha Battalion in the Second Banner.

Eight Banners, Manchuria, Zhengbai Banner, Baoyi Lazhangjing Tanbai, looked at the sampans gradually moving from the sea to the coastline in the distance, and looked at the dragon flags of the two generals in the distance, and couldn't help but sneered in the bunker.

Tan Bai is not an ordinary character in history. Manchurian Tala clan, Zhengbai Banner man, and Qing Tiancong's followers besieged Dalinghe for five years.Zu Dashou sent more than a hundred cavalry to break out of the encirclement.Tan Bai and Niu Luzhang Jing Buyantu chased and beheaded more than 24 people and won [-] horses.In the eighth year of Tiancong Qing Dynasty, he was awarded the post of Niu Luzhang Jing.

In the following years.Tan Bai has done a lot of meritorious service and once followed Yue Tuo's command.Enter Qiangziling, attack Fengrun, and also defeat the army of Ming eunuch Feng Yongsheng.In the next few years, Tan Bai made many meritorious deeds. He successively defeated the governors of the Ming Dynasty Zhao Guangzhang, Fan Zhiwan, and the army of Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen, and entered the third-class Lazhangjing with his meritorious service.In the third year of Shunzhi, Tan Bai was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War.Ask Zhang Xianzhong from Hao Gexi, Prince Su.Repeatedly defeated Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, he transferred the Minister of the Ministry of officials to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong.

According to Dorgon's deployment, the coated soldiers of the two white flags were stationed in front of the enemy with a Jiala firecracker each. In addition to these firecrackers, they were also equipped with nearly a hundred artillery pieces, which were almost as strong as Dorgon's. More than half of the collected artillery were concentrated on the front line.

"Put more firearms on the front line and less soldiers. The artillery of the Nanman is powerful. Don't send our soldiers and horses under the muzzle to be bombarded by the barbarians. Then, put more soldiers and horses in positions where the barbarian artillery can't reach. I hope the barbarians will After the soldiers and horses rush into the trenches, if the first line of trenches misses, use these troops to beat the barbarians down!"

Tan Bai chewed on Dorgon's deployment, and Tan Bai didn't care whether Dorgon's distribution of troops was right or wrong, but he nervously ordered his slaves to send orders to various Niulu Zhangjing, "Barbarians don't go ashore, don't go ashore. Those who enter the range and fire, all ranks of officials have the right to enforce military discipline!"

What's the meaning?From Niulu Zhangjing to Zhuangda, they can use their knives to kill those coated soldiers who fired guns without orders because of timidity!

The sampan on the sea was getting closer.The nearest coated observation post behind the first parapet can count the heads of people on the sampan, and there are about 30 people on a sampan.It happened to be a team of the Southern Guangdong Army.The bow of the ship and the flags on the backs of the team officers couldn't help being swept up by the sea wind and rolled with the wind.

Five hundred steps.Four hundred steps, three hundred steps.

At this distance, the sampan stopped, and the ships behind began to move to the left and right wings, forming an extremely wide front, and the distance between the ships became even more sparse.

"Quick! Quick!"

From Niuluzhangjing to Zhuangda, the officers and leaders of the Liaodong rebels at all levels began to urge their subordinates to enter their respective positions. Boxes of fixed-pack cartridges were carried out from the garrison cave and distributed to the gunners.

The gunners of the coated soldiers quickly loaded the propellant, tamped the projectiles firmly, turned on the tap, and leaned on the parapet, waiting for the long-awaited order to fire.

What was waiting was not an order to fire that allowed them to raise the flag, but bursts of loud cannon fire.

The four 32-pound cannons deployed on Hongluo Mountain on the west side of Tashan Fort, bursts of white smoke rose from the fort, followed by deafening gunfire.

Amid the dull whistling sound of huge hot shells piercing the air, hot iron balls weighing more than twenty kilograms fell down like a sledgehammer thrown by a giant spirit god.Or it hit the ceiling of the Tunbing Cave where the recognition flag was planted, and there were muffled groans from under the collapsed wood. A moment later, someone struggled to get out with hands and feet.Or they smashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers who were standing by with guns behind the parapet, jumped and rolled on the hard ground, and directly led a bloody path.A dozen or so small bullets fired together with the big bullets ran around, and Qing soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground.

A huge shell just hit the second parapet, making a huge gap in the frozen parapet, and flying around with icy clods, hitting the Qing soldiers hiding nearby. , the crystal clear ice balls immediately took on the color of blood.

The iron ball that pierced through the parapet of the frozen soil did not lose its prestige. After a few bounces and rolls, it came back and jumped into the ditch. The hand was beaten with blood and flesh, turning into a puddle of flesh.

The screams rang in Tan Bai's ears one after another, but he was helpless.He could only stand stiffly, waiting for the artillery fire from the Southern Guangdong Army to stop.

However, it seems that these cannons don't need to stop to dissipate heat. The cannons rumbled continuously. After the cannons sounded, dozens of iron balls came screaming together. It’s nothing more than 20 kilograms of shells, but they still use shell holders, one for each large shell, accompanied by more than a dozen small shells.The big bullets were used to destroy the parapet and smash through the garrison holes, while the small bullets were used to kill and injure the soldiers hiding in the trenches.

These artillery shells whizzed in and kept hitting between the first and second earthen wall fortifications set up by the Qing soldiers, and the focus was on taking care of the gunners in the various trenches.The dense iron balls jumped and rolled on the ground, and from time to time, the coated soldiers screamed and were hit by shells before they could make a sound.

Tan Bai pressed his back tightly against the earthen wall of the soldiers' cave, listening to the sound of shells passing through the air in horror, seeing that the shells seemed to never stop, he couldn't help but curse : "This group of southern barbarians Nikan, your gunpowder cannons are all grown on trees? Don't you need money!?..."

As soon as the words fell, a large iron ball weighing more than 20 kilograms was hitting the earth wall on the side of the soldier cave where he was hiding.The wooden pillars supporting the earthen wall suddenly slammed loudly, and the earthen wall, which had been frozen hard after being poured with water, immediately collapsed in a large piece, and Tan Bai, who was in a state of embarrassment, was stripped of the earth all over his body and face by two house slave guards from the garrison cave. When he came out, he saw that half of the body of a guard next to him had been hit by shells.

With a loud "boom", a small iron cannon erected on the roof of a bunker was hit by a projectile from a 32-pound cannon. The cannon was smashed on the spot, and the iron ball flew around with the gun carriage and the gun wheel. .

"Hold on!"

Officers at all levels of the two white flags are controlling the troops hoarsely. Dorgon is right, this is their grave.After defeating the Southern Guangdong Army on the opposite side, they can crawl out of their graves and continue to live in broad daylight. If they are defeated, there is only a dead end waiting for them. The difference is that they either die from the Southern Guangdong Army Under the knife and gun, or be killed by those Ba Yala soldiers who acted as law enforcement teams and executioners and their own officers!

Although the cold wind was biting and fierce, it couldn't dissipate the pungent smoke and bloody smell.On this winter seaside, representing the most elite fighters in their respective camps, began a life-and-death fight.

A dozen or so three-pound guns were hurriedly lifted off the sampan by the first wave of soldiers who washed up on the beach, and rushed to the beach in waist-deep icy water. The gunners looked vigilantly at the parapet opposite, looking for Hit the target.

"Cannon loading!"

"Cannon loading!"

The commanders of the two sides measured the distance for a while, and gave the same order to the gunners under the same command.

The distance between the two sides was already within [-] paces. Such a distance is where the power of the three-pound gun and the big Flang machine shells lies.
