Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 669
This is definitely the largest and highest-level decisive battle in East Asia. In the fierce artillery fire, more than 700 artillery pieces sprayed artillery fire on Jiannu's head. The trenches hit by the heavy artillery shells collapsed and dust was flying. The navy's small gunboats were roaring upstream along the river, and Jiannu, who was being bombarded on three sides, couldn't even raise his head. As for the remaining artillery, he didn't even dare to show his head.

After the roaring artillery fire plowed the entire battlefield, the soaring shouts sounded again. The military power was accumulated. The impassioned revolution and the continuous victories these days made even the most timid people feel full of hope. Passionate and passionate, this time using soldiers to beg for life is also a rare boldness. On the two fronts of Yixing and Lianhu River, Song Qingshu directly invested a huge force of 56 divisions with an order. Shouting and rushing forward, countless densely packed bayonets formed a chilling forest of swords and swords.

I don't know who once laughed at the Ming people as cowards who would only hide behind the chariot and shoot coldly. In front of such a magnificent charge, the horse cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia also terrifiedly released cold arrows in the trenches, like raindrops A rain of arrows fell on the charging team, and a large number of soldiers of the Ming army fell with the rain of arrows, but it was like a few small stones thrown into the rushing waves, which could not stop the charge at all. The tide was more than 20 meters away. The Ming army in the front row knelt down on one knee and aimed their guns, but there was no such device as a periscope, and the space required to draw the bow was still large.

After tearing apart a bloody path, the roaring Ming army jumped into the trench impassionedly, setting off the extremely bloody bayonet to see red.

Whoever shows that people are cowardly cowards, who shows that the army dare not fight hand-to-hand, it is no longer that you have a mace, and I have the helpless moment of Tianlinggai. These Ming soldiers, who started from the common people, carried sophisticated bayonets and flintlock guns, He also fought head-on with Jiannu's elite infantry without showing any weakness.

kill!The bayonet picked up the big knife that had been chopped down, and stabbed it in the middle of the chest. Even the fierce and thick Mongols had protruding eyes, spitting blood and foaming, turning over and falling down.

kill!His chest was pierced by an arrow, and before he fell down, he threw the bayonet fiercely, watching the Jurchen with a bow and arrow kneel down on the ground with fear, but also with satisfaction, chanting about the spirit of some people in the sky, looking up fall down.

kill!A frenzied Jiannu Batulu rushed into the formation of the Ming army with round knives indiscriminately, and chopped down several Ming army soldiers while roaring like a madman, but before he could laugh out loud, a dozen or so angry The bayonets had been pierced into his body from all directions, and the proud Jianzhou nobles also sprayed blood from their mouths, dying without dignity at the feet of those lowly muddy southerners whom he looked down upon.

The scarlet fight lasted for more than 20 minutes. The left and right sides of the Jiannu trench were filled with the corpses of the two armies. Finally, the sound of withdrawing troops sounded from the rear of the position. Backed off, I have never seen Han people have such a crazy side, before the stunned Jiannu came to his senses, the sound of cannons urging his life like the king of Hades rang out again, and again, densely packed The artillery fire fell heavily on Jiannu's position.

According to the law of war, encircle him ten times, and fight him when he is twice as many. By relying on trenches and firearms to increase his points, Jianu is already a turtle in the urn. In fact, the best way is to besiege him until he runs out of ammunition and food. In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army easily crushed Jiannu as it did against Zhao Jun.

But now as a leader, Song Qingshu needs to consider further. Starting from the capital, Jiannu supported the army of Manchu and Han with no less than 30 troops, while Huguang Jiannu recruited Zuo Liangyu and other warlords, and many surrendered to the army. There are no less than 50 people, and even Jiangnan is not monolithic. Zhejiang still has King Lu Jianguo, and Fujian Zheng Zhilong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If there is no time to train these new volunteers, let's use actual combat to hone them!

This is still the most meaningful battle in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If the Ming army can defeat this Jiannu head-on, it will undoubtedly have more political significance than besieging the Jiannu until they are too hungry to surrender. It can also hold the Qing army for decades. The previous majesty accumulated on the Ming army by defeating the Ming army was wiped out. In the field, we have wiped out such a large-scale and established slavery. What is there to be afraid of?

What's more, the morale is high and the morale of the army is available now. If this is the case, let's fight!

Just like what the Qing army did to Jiangyin, as soon as the roaring artillery fire passed, dozens of reorganized divisions surged up with bayonets. As the defender, Jiannu experienced the pain of being surrounded and attacked for the first time. Several trenches were fought for a full day. In such a bloody fierce battle, it was impossible to talk about who would win and who would lose. Both sides suffered heavy losses.

But at this time, the time to test the logistics of both sides has come again. Relying on Song Qingshu's superficial awareness of modern hygiene, the Ming army now has a relatively complete field hospital system, and is led by the marshal's adopted daughter, Miss Yu'er, for a day of bloody battles. The wounded who were brought back could receive first aid immediately, the wounds were cleaned with alcohol, and the best hemostatic medicine of notoginseng and aloe vera was used to bandage them, but Jiannu had nothing.

After today, more than 3000 wounded soldiers of the Ming army can once again set foot on the battlefield after recovering. However, there are thousands of Jiannu wounded wounded in trenches full of black blood. the way.

Hearing that the army fought a decisive battle with Jiannu, the villagers of ten miles and eight towns and the fishermen of Taihu Lake actually beat gongs and drums, transporting local fresh fish, duck eggs and other supplies to the army, especially the wounded barracks, and received unique care, a day of bloody battle Far from being overshadowed by the horrors of the war, the soldiers of the Ming army felt honored in the condolences with gongs and drums.

Once again morale ebbed and flowed.

I never thought that the big golden cavalry of the proud son of heaven could be reduced to this point. Compared with the loud gongs and drums on the opposite side, the Jiannu in the encirclement was obviously extremely low, and the wounded lying on the bottom of the trench groaned in pain. The slave soldiers who survived the war were also stroking the silver they had snatched from the south of the Yangtze River in their arms, fearing the passing of every minute and every second. Among them, Liu Liangzuo was the most fearful.

That day he saw Duoduo's head being sent into the army with his own eyes. Such a big man, he was chopped off as soon as he said it. Looking at the situation now, no matter what the outcome of the Ming and Qing battles is in the future, this army has no future. Thinking of Zong Hao's ferocious head being hung on the gate of Changzhou City, this soft bone shuddered.

There are obviously many others who have the same thoughts as him.

Jiangnan at the end of September is still quite chilly, especially at night, when the damp and cold fog makes people tremble. With their arms in their arms, several green battalion generals grimly gnawed at the dried meat in their hands, while still feeling aggrieved cursed.

"Fucking bitch, eat steamed buns by yourself, let me eat this!"

"I'm going to work, I'm going to charge! We don't have a share in the distribution of army rations, Commander-in-Chief, this day will be impossible!"

Originally, there was one master at a time, but now the dog tartars are swearing, it can be seen that the contradictions within the slave building army have become more and more obvious, but listening to these generals under his command scolding, Liu Liangzuo has never expressed his anger, just so silent He gnawed at the jerky.

After complaining for a long time, without seeing any sign from him, the generals below also became anxious. After a long time, the deputy general Liu Futong just braved up and punched Liu Liangzuo hard.

"Superintendent, it's really not good, let's surrender!"

Someone took the lead, and the smart people who didn't want to die immediately started talking.

"Marshal Du, that's right! Seeing that the slaves are about to die, there's no need for us to bury them with them!"

"Furthermore, we were soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. We had no choice but to surrender to the Tartars. The world has changed, and it is time to help the country. Commander-in-Chief, as long as you have a thought, we will be heroes for the restoration of Ming Dynasty!"

The generals spoke cheerfully, as if they didn't oppress the people to suppress the rebellion a while ago, but endured humiliation for the cause of revolution. Who knew that Liu Liangzuo's face changed drastically when he heard these words, and he lashed out with a whip.

"Fart! We are all court officials appointed by the Regent of the Qing Dynasty. How can we surrender like a dog? Who dares to talk nonsense again? Don't blame the commander for his ruthless military law! Get out of here!"

It never occurred to him that Liu Liangzuo didn't go on the road to survive, and after being whipped, a large group of people became resentful and scattered away in groups.

But after returning to his own army, Liu Futong was found out by several Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers after a while.

"The commander-in-chief welcomes you!"

He thought that Liu Liangzuo was going to take the knife on him because he proposed to surrender just now, but under the panic, Liu Futong, an old man like a woman, knelt on the ground with a soft plop, and began to wipe away his nose and tears.

"Please, Commander-in-Chief, the little one was deceived by lard for a while, and said those outrageous words, Commander-in-Chief, please give the little one a chance. Tomorrow, the little one will definitely fight to the death with that Ming Gouzi. If he dies on the battlefield, he will not pollute the Superintendent!" Handsome hands!"

The appearance of crying for father and mother is as ugly as it is, who knows that Liu Liangzuo, who is still chewing jerky, has a big change in his face at this time.

"Get up! You kid is right! We are all imperial soldiers, why should we be buried with the tartars!"

He also planned to sneak out and surrender early in the morning. Hearing Liu Liangzuo's words, Liu Futong's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help asking in surprise.

"What does the commander-in-chief mean?"

"You are straight-hearted, you don't care about the occasion! Didn't you see the faces of Li Chengdong and the old boys? If I show a little bit about this matter, the old Nikan tartar will have to ask me to go to him to eat it up." Let’s have tea! But we can’t surrender in this way. Before, the commander-in-chief had a feud with him, Song Fool. You can find some clever people and go over there first to find out. If Song Qingshu still makes me Guangchang Bo Admiral Jiangbei military, I will lead the army anyway."

Li Chengdong, Zhao Guangxian, these people have blood on their hands. They slaughtered more people in Jiangnan than Jiannu Eight Banners. Even if they want to surrender, Song Qingshu will not take them as Han people. These people are blocked. The only way to retreat is to go to the dark with Jiannu, but Liu Liangzuo doesn't have the thought of being a loyal master. He still has an army of [-] to [-] in the three towns of Jiangbei, which is his bargaining chip. It's clear that wherever you go, you have to trade for wealth and glory.

Immediately, he was also smiling, Liu Liangzuo was a high official, and the talents of these generals have risen with the tide, the wrinkles on Liu Futong's face also smiled, nodded and bowed, and immediately agreed.

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true, the little one will do it immediately!"

This was a matter of survival, and in less than half an hour, a few of Liu Futong's personal soldiers sneaked out of the camp on the ground, imitating the appearance of begging soldiers.

"Liu Liangzuo wants to surrender?"
