Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

According to the regulations of the Xia Army's military system, the White Corps is not arranged to be incorporated into the artillery team, so except for the regiment headquarters and the supply team, the other six teams are armored hand-to-hand soldiers.According to Tao Yue and Gu Jie's plan in advance, if the Mongolian army besieged Xiaozhai on all sides, a team of white soldiers would be deployed on each wall, and the other two teams would be used as reserve teams.But now the Mongolian army only attacked from three sides, so Xia Jun didn't have to think too much about it. On average, each city wall could get two teams of white soldiers to go into battle alternately.

The first team of the Xia army was only a hundred men, but although there were few soldiers, the white soldiers of the Xia army, who were like iron Buddhas, defeated the Mongolian soldiers wrapped in sheepskin jackets as soon as they went into battle.This is actually not surprising. Taking the wart armor commonly equipped by the white soldiers of the Xia Army, the Mongols' scimitars can only show a white line. , but not to add some decorations to the armor surface, sometimes even hanging on it seems reluctant, not to mention breaking through the inner silk and satin to hurt Xia Jun's body.Conversely, Xia Jun slashed down with a heavy knife, and the weapons in the hands of the Mongols couldn't stop them at all, and they often chopped off people and horses, including weapons.

To be honest, Xia Jun’s iron cans are definitely not the enemy’s. Although bows and arrows can’t break through defenses, they can’t stop firecrackers from shooting at close range. The Mongols were allowed to be equipped with firearms, so the "shield" of the Xia army was stronger than the "spear" of the Mongolian army.Of course, if the Mongols used heavy weapons such as maces instead of scimitars, they could also cause serious damage to the Xia army's white soldiers.It is a pity that the Mongols played heavy cavalry in the era of Genghis Khan. Now that they believe in Huangjiao, their physical fitness has greatly declined, and they have no longer used maces that require strong elbow strength. Tianzhan also maintained a small amount of heavy cavalry.So, now, even with the help of the sprinting force of the horses, it is difficult for these Mongolian soldiers from Monan and Khalkha to shake the blocking line formed by the white soldiers of the Xia Army.

Speaking of it, the small space on the top of the wall is also a reason for limiting the Mongolian army's combat power.Xia Jun's musketeers could of course form a spear array behind the white soldiers to curb the sprinting speed of the Mongolian horses, but the Mongolian riders did not dare to speed up their horses, lest they charge too far, and rushed directly from the wall of the village.

The white soldiers of the Xia army who looked like monsters turned back the Mongolian soldiers who rushed up the wall of the village, and the faces of the Mongolian nobles who watched the battle from a distance were ashen, but the battle had already been fought like this, and the Mongolians could only fight again increased investment. [

It's just that there is always a limit to human strength. After several rounds of battle, Xia Jun's white soldiers finally exhausted their physical energy and had to retreat to the bottom of the wall to breathe.Seeing the God of Death retreating, the Mongols' morale was greatly boosted, but at this time, the mounds and the walls of the village were already full of corpses of the Mongolian soldiers and horses, which affected the Mongolian army's rush to rush.The Mongolian army, who didn't want to give up the opportunity, had to get off their horses and continue to attack the three walls of the village on foot.However, the Mongolian on the horse is a hero, and the Mongolian on the horse is scum.When these bow-legged Mongolian soldiers finally crossed the man-made barrier and rushed to the top of the wall again, Xia Jun's riflemen drove them back again with a simple thrust.

After several unsuccessful attacks, the morale of the Mongolian soldiers melted like an iceberg in the sun.As a last resort, the Manchu and Mongolian princes had no choice but to order their troops to withdraw.While the Mongol army was retreating, Xia Jun ate lunch and replenished the medicine. Only the soldiers on guard worked the hardest. Under the city, it is disinfected and sterilized with lime.Fortunately, the horse carcasses left by the Mongols can still be eaten, but whether they can eat it depends on whether their nerves are tough.

Ordinary Mongolian soldiers did not have the habit of eating lunch, so they just took their horses to the river to drink water in batches, but while drinking water, some people said strange things, it was because they could not return home and see their wives and children. Class words.

If there are actual statistics, the total number of casualties of the Mongolian army is in the early three thousand and less than four thousand, which is almost 5.00% of the whole army, which is not too heavy at all.However, after losing the first battle, the morale of the army was greatly shaken. Not only the lower-level herdsmen were talking in frustration, but even the upper-level princes of the alliance banners also showed signs of war weariness.Some people suggested not to fight at all, but to go home quickly.

Facing the disharmonious voices among the high-level Mongolian army, Yarjan'a and Marhun naturally couldn't make it a reality.

For this reason, Prince Yarjan'a of Heshuo Jian promised: "The capture of Gu'an will allow the Mongolian army to plunder freely."

As a result, some people immediately said that they could not even capture Xiaozhai, and even said that they would capture Gu'an. Yaerjiang's promise was completely empty words, obviously deceiving the Mongolian princes present.

Seeing that the situation might get out of control, Marhun had no choice but to pat his chest to assure that the Manchurian family was one family, so how could the Qing court deceive the Mongolian brothers.It's just that no matter how beautiful the words are, they are useless without benefits.Ma Hun had no choice but to call the servant of the palace in person, telling him to go back to Beijing immediately and ask Kangxi for 50 taels of silver to appease the Mongolian army.

50 taels were distributed to [-] Mongolian troops, and the average per capita was no more than ten taels, but the account must not be calculated in this way. If ordinary Mongolian herdsmen can get one tael of silver, it is considered generous by the master. The big head must have fallen to a group of princes Taiji's hands.

The temptation of 50 taels of silver is naturally not small, and no one brought it back to the grassland for a while.It’s just that the 50 silver is still in the city of Beijing, and it’s unclear when it will be available, so some Mongolian princes said that they can wait until the money arrives before fighting. for the siege.

The few high-level Manchurians and Mongolians, such as Yaerjiang'a and Marhun, knew that the situation was not good for them. Only by quickly eating Xia Jun in front of them could there be some improvement. Naturally, they did not agree to delay, but the emotions below should be appeased. What should we do?Malhun rolled his eyes, since looting Gu'an is temporarily possible, why don't we change places, as long as the Mongols' desire for looting is met, they can continue to work hard. A Han Chinese massacres what a city is.

So a branch of the Mongolian army was separated and headed towards Zhuozhou not far away.Zhuozhou is only seven or eighty miles away from Gu'an, and the Mongolian army will arrive in a blink of an eye.However, because Xia Jun went north to Gu'an, the state official who was watching Feng Shui had ordered the four doors to be closed.But the sad thing is, seeing tens of thousands of Mongolian troops outside the city, plus genuine Manchurian shellfish calling the door, the mere fifth-rank state officials naturally did not dare to neglect, so the city gate opened, and the hungry wolf entered the sheepfold.

When Zhizhou, who greeted the nobleman respectfully, was astonished to find that the visitor raised his butcher knife, he didn't know why, and asked why.Why did the Qing court attack its own people?Why do you have to sacrifice your own life after offering gold and silver respectfully.With all kinds of confusion, Zhizhou died, under the urge to prevent the Mongolian army from committing violence, only those who were iron-hearted and apologetic watched Zhuozhou city turn into a sea of ​​blood, and their wives and children suffered during the period. The "loyal" ministers of the Qing Dynasty were lucky enough to survive.

Zhuozhou was destroyed in this way, and the thugs triumphantly returned to the front line of Gu'an with their loot. In order to cover up the scandal, the two iron-capped kings, Yaerjiang'a and Maerhun, sent people to notify the counties, saying that part of the Xia army had broken through After capturing Zhuozhou, and then surrounded by the army, he knew that he could not escape with his wings, so he faced the massacre of the city.

Although they don't expect to be able to hide from their neighbors for long, the Manchurian nobles are very clear that history is written by the victors. As long as they win this battle, the Han people will still look down on the various atrocities of their masters and continue to bow their heads and do the work of the "prosperous age". Obedient people.

The fire that destroyed Zhuozhou could not escape the attention of Xia Jun's observation post, but Xia Jun didn't know what happened at the beginning. After all, the direction of Zhuozhou was not the direction where Xia Jun planned to ambush.However, the answer was soon revealed. Watching the Mongolian horse team throw the crying Han women outside the shelling radius and torture them, how could Xia Jun not understand what happened.

"Brothers, you already know what's going on outside the village." Looking at the commotion of officers and soldiers, Gu Jie, the division chief who was in charge of the attack and defense of the small village, stood up out of righteous indignation. "In the eyes of these Hugou, we Han people are the pigs and sheep they raise, and we can kill them if we want, and we don't have to worry about anything." Gu Jie suddenly raised his voice. "Do you want your descendants to live in such a dark day? Do you want to avenge the Han people who died at the hands of Jianlu?"

"Kill all the Tartars!" At first, there was a chaotic response from several people, and then it quickly became a uniform slogan of the entire army. "Wash the blood with blood! Kill all the Tartars! Completely restore the world"

Gu Jie stretched out his hand to signal the crowd to silence, and when the noise subsided slightly, Gu Jie said again: "Kill all the Tartars and wash the blood with blood, that's fine, but during this period, you will die too, maybe at the last moment of victory , are you still willing?" [

What responded to Gu Jie was even more emotional: "I am willing! I would rather die standing up than live in mediocrity."

"Then what are you waiting for!" Gu Jie pointed to the outside of the city. "The Tartars will attack the stronghold again soon, let us fulfill our promise now, even if we die on the spot, we will take a few Tartars with us on the road."

The Mongolian soldiers like a tide surged up again, and they were equally excited and vented their firepower at a faster speed.

Countless Mongolian troops were knocked to the ground, and several more Mongolian troops rushed up, heading straight for the defensive line on the wall of Xia Junzhai.

At this time, no one would retreat, and Xia Jun's white soldiers stopped the Mongolian army's footsteps like crazy, but the casualties gradually increased inadvertently.

Just as the Mongol army slowly gained the upper hand, the only north gate of Xiaozhai was opened. At the same time, the south gate of Gu'an City was also opened. , A group drove to the west of Xiaozhai.

I remember that the Mongolian army with sharp artillery fire between Xia Jun was still hesitating whether to attack, but Xia Jun had already pulled the trigger, and rows of guns almost swept across the Mongolian army's flanks, immediately forcing the Mongolian army to slow down their offensive.

The Mongolian army brigade immediately shifted its target and rushed towards the attacking Xia army, but the Xia army had quickly formed a hollow phalanx, and used this to draw the Mongolian army into Xia's artillery fire range.When the rumbling artillery fire rang out again, the Mongolian army who found themselves trapped in the fire net could only escape in embarrassment.Xia Jun, who gave the opponent a certain amount of damage, did not retreat into the city, but re-arranged horizontally, and continued to fire on the flanks of the Mongolian soldiers who attacked the village despite the accidental damage from their own artillery fire.

After doing this again and again, they finally assisted the defenders on the two walls of the village to repel the Mongolian army's attack.

After the Mongolian army on the east and west retreated, the Xia army was free to quickly reinforce Zhainan.

When the Xia army's defense force in the south of Zhai increased rapidly, the Mongolian army had to accept the fate of total defeat.
