Blood from Daming

Chapter 216
While Sun Chengzong was meditating, his subordinates came to report that a large number of Ming army flags were found in the south. Sun Chengzong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately climbed up with Yu Anxing to look into the distance. Sure enough, there were many Ming army flags more than ten miles away. It is estimated that the strength of the army is more than 1.

Sun Chengzong was relieved to see a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army coming. After all, the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan arrived a little late. Most of the resentment in Sun Chengzong's heart disappeared immediately, and he immediately ordered the clerks around him to report the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army.

The Jianlu side knew about the arrival of the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty earlier. Shuo Tuo did not expect that when his cavalry was about to break through Xue Polu's last line of defense, a group of dead soldiers from the Ming army would appear with explosives on their backs to detonate them. , causing a large number of casualties to the warriors of the Kingdom of Jin. The most terrifying thing is that these dead warriors obviously hit the blood of the Jurchen warriors in every battle.

Shuo Tuo is now commanding his cronies to suppress the chaotic bannermen. It was at this time that Shuo Tuo got the news that a large number of reinforcements from the south of the Ming army had arrived. Shuo Tuo was shocked. On the hillside, it is certain to eliminate Xue Jiajun and capture Sun Chengzong alive.

Shuotuo was very anxious. The Ningyuan army in the east had obviously found reinforcements, and now it was as strong as chicken blood, and the offensive wave after wave was hitting the less than [-] flagmen inlaid with the red flag. .

Ama Daishan also joined the battle behind him. There was no suspense about the outcome of the three thousand Jianzhou cavalry against the three thousand Ming infantry, but something went wrong. No retreat, actually in many partial battles, the Jurchen and the Ming army suffered a one-to-one ratio of battle losses. I have never heard that the Ming army has such lunatics. Li believes that it is best for the Jurchens to hide in Changbai Mountain and not come out.

Shuo Tuo's biggest headache now is whether the remnants of Xue Polu are still fighting, and the Ming army's reinforcements will arrive in less than half an hour, but if he gives up this opportunity to annihilate Xue's army and capture Sun Chengzong alive, there may never be such a thing in the future Good luck, if the battle was fought like this, he would not be able to explain to his grandfather Nurhachi, and his and Ama's superior status among the noble ministers of the Kingdom of Jin would no longer be guaranteed, so Shuotuo gritted his teeth and secretly decided to take another gamble.

Once Shuo Tuo made a decision, he immediately ordered Ebugen to lead his [-] cronies to attack the Ming army's positions. Shuo Tuo gave Ebugen and his [-] cronies a deadly order not to take any step back, and those who violated the order will be killed without mercy.

Er Bugen led two thousand of Shuo Tuo's cronies to rush towards Xue's army's position like mad dogs. Shuo Tuo organized the troops of Zhenghong Banner and then followed up, carrying out continuous and indiscriminate attacks on the Ming army's position.

When Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin saw all the Tazi troops rushing up, they knew that the final decisive battle had begun. Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin already knew that the reinforcements from Shanhaiguan had arrived, but their arrival did not mean that they would be able to rescue them. Come on everyone, if Jianlu's blocking force can stop the Ming army from Shanhaiguan, all the Ming army soldiers here will still be wiped out.

Xue Polu also had about 1000 cavalry and infantry under his command. If more than half of the casualties were in ordinary wars, this team should have collapsed. But now the enemy of Xue’s army is the murderous Jurchen Tartars. So many people died on both sides. Xue Jiajun, Jianzhou, and the Tatars are already in an endless situation with each other, even if you are willing to surrender, the end result will be to be beheaded.

In front of Xue's army's position, within a mile long and twenty or thirty steps wide, there were piles of dead men and dead horses, forming a Great Wall of flesh and blood, and also a natural barrier between Xue's army and the Jianzhou Tartars. All the soldiers dismounted and fought on foot. They took up the firearms and spears of the martyrs one after another, and quickly formed a new firearms battalion and spear formation.

Xue Polu's cavalry first fought from Cangzhou to Shandong with two hundred firearms. It can be said that they are the predecessors of the soldiers in the firearms battalion today. The grenades were distributed to the front line, and all the remaining 1000 explosive packs were taken out.

After the heroic deeds of the soldiers of the death camp spread among the soldiers of the Xue family army, everyone was very envious of the courage and determination of the soldiers of the death camp. At first, many soldiers volunteered to sign up for the death camp as soldiers, but were captured by Xue Po. , Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming and the others refused. The main reason was that being a soldier in a death camp requires not only courage and determination, but also special blasting skills. Besides, the Xue family army generally does not encourage its soldiers to sacrifice their precious lives at will.

However, as soon as the rewards for the dead soldiers of the death camp spread among the soldiers of the Xue family army, everyone was very surprised that General Xue Yun’s conditions were too generous. He had to withdraw from the death camp after completing three missions. People can get 500 taels of silver. Parents, children, wives, underage siblings, and grandparents are all raised and taken care of by the general. The bounty for returning alive is 100 taels of silver.

Many soldiers, especially the wounded, began to think about the death battalion soldiers. Just now, seven of the 2000 people who went up went up. It seems that the death camp soldiers do not have to die to perform their missions, but the danger is greater. Look at how nearly [-] of my comrades died today, accounting for half of Xue's army, but the value of these two methods of death is simply incomparable if you measure the difference in silver.

Moreover, General Xue Yun has a very good reputation, and he has to admit his words and saliva. Whether it is a veteran from Datong, or the soldiers of Xuezhuang in the capital city and Xuejiazhai in Cangzhou, they all know that when the Xue family The soldier said that he would give you a salary of ten taels of silver. As long as you behaved well, you might get 15 or 20 taels of silver.

Why don't you try another boss, tell you to open a stronghold and break the city, promise to be promoted to three levels and reward you with a thousand taels of silver, etc. Most of them are deceptive tricks and don't admit it at all, or just send you a small official to give you a little money , the generals and governors who can fully fulfill their promises are rare. The key is that if you die, you must die in vain. Don’t talk about rewards, even if you don’t get a piece of coffin for you. Think about it, everyone, this Ming Dynasty general was killed by the court The civil servants and cabinet ministers are almost like beggars, and they are all thin to the ribs. Where can they still have a swollen face and pretend to be a fat man to talk to you about your credibility?

The military medical technology of the Xue family army is comprehensively ahead of other armies of the Ming Dynasty. Due to broken limbs, broken arms, arrows to the torso, and other serious sword wounds, the medical technology of the Xue family army is only better than other Ming troops, and the overall mortality rate is much lower. But most of the seriously wounded and the wounded who developed a fever afterwards were still powerless.

It is these seriously wounded people who know that they have little chance of surviving. Even if they barely survive, they will be missing arms and legs. They are already full of despair for their future life. They just hope to earn more money for their parents, brothers and sisters to live a better life. , all hope to get the treatment of death camp soldiers and burn the afterglow of life again.

As for wives to be taken care of by the generals, many soldiers who heard about the fact that villains train adults to marry wives and have children just laughed. Everyone is a big soldier. What is it like to be a woman? root hair relationship.

Wounded soldiers who kept flocking to Lu Yaojin and wanted to be death camp soldiers surrounded hundreds of people, and some wounded soldiers even went to snatch the explosives from the death camp soldiers. Lu Yaojin saw that everyone insisted on being a death camp The dead soldier ordered his soldiers to start selecting soldiers who were suitable for using explosives, and the selected soldiers immediately registered their names and addresses, which team they belonged to, the general, the general flag, the small flag soldiers, and the beneficiaries of 500 taels of silver Who then conducts literacy training for fast-daring dead camp dead soldiers using dynamite packs.

Due to the limited number of places, the number of people recruited quickly was full, and those who were not selected were indeed seriously injured and had limited mobility, so Lu Yaojin and his soldiers continued to comfort those wounded soldiers who were not selected, and expressed that In this special case, the number of places is limited, but everyone can sign up to join the Death Battalion to be a death soldier. If you don’t want to be a death soldier in the future, it’s okay. Resentment, but most of the wounded soldiers still registered their names and addresses, and they were regarded as soldiers preparing for death in the death camp.

The [-] Zhenghong Banners led by Ebugen rushed to the front of Xue's army's position. Xue's army's grenadiers using large slingshots continued to fire round grenades, but there are only sixteen or seventeen large slingshots that can be used now. Most of them were scrapped due to long-term use, that is, most of the sixteen or seven large slingshots were replaced with spare tendons. Unfortunately, everyone was not prepared enough to go out this time, and all the fifty spare tendons were used up.

The role of the grenadiers is unquestionable. They have been harvesting the lives of the Tartars. It's just that the continuous reduction of large slingshots has made the role of the grenadiers weaker and weaker on the battlefield, but they still try their best in their positions. Fight these Tartar armies.

Xue Polu personally commanded the mixed firearms battalion to fire, "boom bah", "boom bah", "boom bah".

The dense Jianzhou cavalry landed on the ground like dumplings, "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."

The [-] Red Banner soldiers led by Ebugen suffered a lot of casualties when they crossed the natural barrier of dead men and horses that was [-] to [-] paces long and [-] to [-] paces in front of Xue's army's position. When the natural barrier of dead people and dead horses was twenty or thirty paces wide, Zhenghongqi's banner soldiers became live targets for Xue's army, and moved slowly. Among the [-]% of the [-] Zhenghong Banner soldiers led by Ebugen, a full [-]% was missing.

After crossing the natural barrier of dead men and horses in front of Xue's army's position, the Zhenghong Banner soldiers who had lost the speed of their horses had a taste of Xue's army's long-handled grenade "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom".

Knowing that this was the last fight between the Ming army and the Jianzhou Tartars, Zuo Ming reluctantly threw out [-] long-handled grenades, and then led thousands of pikemen to assassinate the wounded soldiers of the Tartars. Gen originally thought that the Xue family army was no longer disabled, and going up by himself was like catching a boiled duck with one hand.

Ebugen never thought that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers added would be greatly enhanced. Could it be that General Xue was playing some tricks? Ebugen couldn't accept the reality in front of him. Another 500 soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner with their brains swollen were killed by Xue's army.
