The yellow, white, red and blue flags fluttered in the wind, stretching endlessly under the blue sky. The soldiers and horses stretched for dozens of miles. Looking from a distance, it was really a powerful force.
But if you can take a closer look, you can see the problem with the soldiers and horses.
These soldiers and horses looked extremely elite, but upon closer inspection, there was a look of impatience on their faces, and they were whispering and complaining to each other.
"It's too hot today and the armor is too heavy. When will it be over?"
"You guys thought you could fight just by leaving the city. Who can bear such suffering in the middle of summer? If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
"Oh my god, why did I come here to commit this crime? Wouldn't it be better to go find Xiao Taohong in Han's alley? How come I was deceived by my old man into coming here?"
"..."
All of a sudden, the Eight Banners disciples complained endlessly, and seemed to be very resistant and disgusted with the expedition. The original mood of 'restoring the old man's glory' had already been exhausted by the high temperature and the military order of a rapid march.
After all, they are children of the Eight Banners who grew up in Beijing. They have long forgotten the genes of growing up in black water fishing and hunting in the cold winter. They have been pampered since childhood. Although they have only marched for a few days, they are still complaining and feeling regretful.
The complaints of the Eight Banners disciples under his command were simply unbelievable to Prince An Yue Le.
After all, he was able to lead the Eight Banners to a hundred miles.
However, for Prince An Yue Le, the complaints of his Eight Banners soldiers were not very important. After all, the current complaints would not lead to mutiny.
The most important thing to him was that the vanguard suddenly couldn't move anymore and chose to camp on the spot.
"Why didn't the vanguard continue to march? What did they see?!"
Prince An Yue Le's face was ugly. He sent out the Xiangbai and Zhengbai banners as vanguards to open the way. But Prince Xin stopped moving halfway. What happened?
He looked at the map and the location where the vanguard camped. He even turned pale and almost fainted from fright: "Who told Eza to camp here? There is no danger to defend this place. It is backed by woods. If the enemy attacks with fire, Didn’t it mean that all eight thousand athletes died at the hands of their opponents! These basic skills are not solid, who made Eza do this?!"
"Send a fast horse and quickly order Eza to move his camp to this mountain. From a high position, he will use the favorable terrain to detect the enemy's situation. Then send a small group of troops to harass the enemy and occupy a favorable position for the artillery battalion! At the same time, order the cavalry of the Mongolian Right Banner to harass the enemy. The rear of the army!”
After hearing the order from Prince An Yue Le, Fei Yanggu immediately accepted the order. At the same time, he hesitated for a moment and advised in a low voice: "General, don't get so angry over such things. You are old. If anything happens, Unexpectedly, there is no one else in the court to command the army for you."
After hearing Fei Yanggu's words, Yue Le sighed quietly, but didn't say anything. He could only shake his head helplessly.
Seeing this situation, Fei Yanggu could only retreat and ordered his horse to go and notify the army.
…
In the military camp with white flags and white flags, after a night's rest, Eza's complexion just improved, but only his complexion improved. When he closed his eyes, he still saw the mountains of human heads and the unyielding Fengtian General Wu. Mahu.
"Huh~"
Eza took a deep breath and drank the clear water in the water bag.
Before the expedition, he had sworn that he would be able to achieve great feats on the Han Dynasty, as good as his grandfather Dodo's. However, after seeing this man's head rolling around, he felt a little overwhelmed, and subconsciously felt that he was about to fight the enemy. The army has a little more fear.
To describe it in one sentence, Eza is now cowardly and cowardly.
In addition, the men of the Eight Banners with the white flag and the white flag complained endlessly, saying that the rush march was too painful. Therefore, Ezha took advantage of the situation and set up camp. However, those Eight Banners also said that it was a hot day and they needed to find a cooler place. Ezha Zha also had this intention, so he set up the camp in front of a forest to provide shade and shelter from the heat.
"Wait, it will be fine when Prince An comes. Prince An was fighting in the north and south and killed countless Han people. With him here, everything will be worry-free."
In this regard, Eza could only think silently in his heart.
"Report, the general has an urgent military situation!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the tent. When Ezha heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately said: "Quick, come in!"
Immediately afterwards, an Eight Banners messenger who looked to be in his thirties walked in with a sonorous voice. After saluting Eza with his fists clasped, he said righteously: "I pay my respects to Lord Xin!"
"This slave is here to deliver a message under the orders of the general. Please, my lord, set up camp quickly!"
After saluting, the ordering soldier handed the military order written by Yue Le to Eza.
Ezha did not dare to delay, so he quickly opened it and took a look, only to find that the first sentence was Yue Le's criticism of him, asking him why he did not continue to march as planned.
Immediately afterwards, there were Yue Le's arrangements for Ezha. After seeing these arrangements, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The general is really like a god in using troops. Just follow the general's military orders! Order the whole army. , prepare to move camp!”
After hearing Ezha's arrangement, the messenger was satisfied and went back immediately, preparing to report to Prince An Yue Le.
And as Eza's military order was issued, these Eight Banners disciples with white flags and white flags exploded.
"Why! What kind of camp are you moving to? Is this a stupid trick thought up by a guy who gave birth to a child without an asshole? It's summer, if you move the camp to the sun, are you going to kill grandpa and me?"
"Hey, who told us that we with white flags and white flags were the direct descendants of the regent back then? Now their guys with yellow flags and yellow flags are here, and of course they want to kill us..."
"Silence! This is the military order of the General and Prince An. Are you willing to kill yourself?!"
"Prince An? Who is Prince An?! Who doesn't have the surname Aisin Gioro? When he entered the customs, Yue Le was still following my grandfather as a follower! Now he is showing off his power?!"
"Ah? I look down on others, but I didn't see that you are Lord Beile. Hey, Lord Beile, you are so lucky! I will fan you right now..."
"Good slave, after Ben Beile returns to Beijing, I will arrange for you to go to Han's alley to find that little Taohong..."
"..."
The Eight Banners disciples of Zhengbai and Xiangbai were full of complaints when faced with such military orders.
They even went to the military tent together under the leadership of a Dorobel, wanting to ask for an explanation.
As a result, outside the military tents of some officers, they were surrounded by the noisy Eight Banners disciples. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. They all wore armor and had blades. They looked murderous. They were really the elites of the Eight Banners. They surrounded the army. Account, shouting for an explanation.
Many of the accompanying old traitors were in a daze when they saw this scene.
They seemed to have seen the scene in those days when they surrounded the yamen of the general soldiers and governors, armed to ask for wages.
It's just that they were asking for wages at the beginning, but these guys turned out to be unbearable due to the heat.
It has only been a few decades, how come the Eight Banners soldiers have become like this?
Not to mention the Eight Banners soldiers who went out decades ago, last year and the year before last, this was not the case.
The old traitors were in a daze for a while.
However, the reason that prompted these Eight Banners soldiers to be arrogant and domineering was also very simple. Naturally, it was because Prince Xin was young and had difficulty convincing the public.
After all, Prince Xin Eza is Duduo's grandson. He is only fifteen years old this year.
Many Eight Banners disciples in the army grew up wrestling with Prince Xin, Eza, when they were young. How could they have any prestige over Prince Xin?
If Prince An Yue Le were here, looking at these Eight Banners soldiers, would they dare to be so showy?
When he heard the noise outside the tent, Prince Xin Eza also became angry.
The military orders were not issued by men. If you have the ability, go make trouble in front of Prince An's tent!
Ezha drank another drink of water from his saliva bag, and then angrily walked out of the military tent. He glanced at the excited Eight Banners soldiers around him and yelled: "What are you yelling about! Xiaoxian, you are the one taking the lead." You're shouting, right? It's your grandpa's, if I, the owner of the white flag, are standing here, are you going to turn the world upside down?!"
The moment Ezha came out, most of the indignant noises had stopped. Seeing this situation, Ezha's mood improved, and then he shouted: "If nothing happens, go back, move camp, and reincarnate." Set up camp on Yanshan Mountain!"
After hearing Eza's words, the surrounding Eight Banners soldiers were reluctant in every possible way, but they could only start to move their camps.
But the process of moving the camp took a long time.
Eza turned around and returned to the military tent. He only felt that the weather was hot. He glanced at the four coated slaves behind him, and then cursed angrily: "Fan faster, you slaves, do you want to heat me to death?!"
"yes."
Naturally, the coated slaves did not dare to be dissatisfied with their master. Instead, they had flattering expressions on their faces, and then they fanned themselves vigorously while sweating profusely, allowing Eza to enjoy a coolness in this hot day.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took, Eza slowly fell asleep on the wicker chair. Just as the slaves in the coats breathed a sigh of relief and stopped moving their hands, they suddenly heard a whisper in their ears. There was a bang!
"Boom!"
The sound like a thunderbolt from the blue instantly woke the grandson of Duduo from his sleep. He looked panicked and shouted quickly: "What's going on?!"
"My lord, this servant doesn't know!"
The coated slaves bowed down and kowtowed.
Immediately afterwards, Eza immediately turned over and hurriedly asked the coated slaves to put on his armor. At this moment, there were roars one after another, and panic and screams suddenly appeared in the camp.
"Damn it, it's the red cannon!"
Not long after, Eza recognized the sound of cannons and immediately understood that it was the Ming army coming!
Eza couldn't help but think of the previous scene in Beijing, and he shuddered, but he didn't care about anything else, and then rushed out of the military tent, looked at the chaotic camp around him, and shouted: " Prepare to meet the enemy, prepare to meet the enemy!"
His mind was in a mess now and he had no idea what to do.
But at this moment, Eza suddenly discovered that although the white flags were in chaos, they still maintained the organization. Then he saw a middle-aged Manchurian man giving full command. He was overjoyed and couldn't help but patted his forehead: " Why did I forget Eqike!"
Eqike means uncle in Manchu.
Although the Manchus have now been fully Sinicized, and many newly born Manchus cannot even speak Manchu, words such as Ama and Eji have been preserved and integrated into the Chinese language.
At this moment, there was no chaos in danger, and the person commanding the battlefield was Aixinjueluo Shangshan, the son of Zhenguo Gong Fei Yangwu and the grandson of Shuerhaqi, Prince of Heshuozhuang.
He once followed Prince Duduo of Yu in his southern expedition, pursued Li Zicheng, and pacified Henan and Jiangnan. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Duorobeile, who was in charge of the affairs of the vassal court and listed as a minister of political affairs.
Originally his future was bright, but unfortunately after the fall of Dorgon, he was also implicated, and his family became unemployed.
Until a few days ago, for the sake of the overall situation, Yue Le pulled out this clan member who had participated in the war and asked him to take charge of four thousand soldiers and horses with white flags to assist Ezha.
Seeing this situation, Ezha hurriedly came to his Eqike camp. Seeing that Shangshan commanded him well and had the air of a general, he quickly said: "Eqike, please organize a counterattack!"
During the past few days of marching, Shang Shan also knew the level of his nephew. He couldn't help but sigh that Duduo was such a person in those days and his descendants were like this. He nodded and said: "Prince Xin, according to the tradition of the Ming army, after the artillery attack, there will be Charge, I heard the sound and learned that the artillery attack must be coming from the direction of Leyan Mountain, and the enemy generals are likely to come out from the northwest. Our army should use cavalry to resist the enemy first!"
"Just listen to Eqike!"
Although Ezha was familiar with military literature, he was a theoretical person. When he came to the battlefield, his eyesight was completely darkened, and he immediately entrusted the power to Shang Shan.
The military situation was urgent, and Shang Shan did not show any politeness to Ezhado. He immediately took over the command of the army, then immediately ordered the cavalry with white flags to face the artillery fire and launch a charge!
"Men with white flags, please don't disgrace your ancestors. Kill them!"
"Let those Han people see how powerful we are with the white flag!"
"..."
With a burst of shouts, the cavalry with white flags immediately attacked, and the white flags were also organized and began to prepare for the second round of charge.
Although these Eight Banners disciples had many flaws, they were still the Eight Banners disciples who lived in the eighth year of Kangxi's reign. Their bows and horses were not abandoned, but they had more flaws, so they were still decent when charging.
But if compared with the Eight Banners soldiers when they entered the customs, it is far behind!
The cavalry charged into the formation, and the formation was relatively neat. Shang Shan was condescending, but his heart was in chaos, and then he ordered the infantry to hold on to the stronghold.
It's just that this Dazhai is difficult to hold on to.
After all, they had just given the order to move the camp, and half of the village had been demolished. It was really unbearable to ask them to put them back.
"Fire! It's on fire, it's on fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire, put out the fire!"
Some of the shells fell into the woods and instantly ignited the woods. The Eight Banners' infantry were panicked when they saw this scene, and Eza was even more panicked. He immediately ordered the Eight Banners' disciples of Zhengbai Banner and the accompanying army's coating battalion to put out the fire!
The cavalrymen with white flags who were originally charging forward were muttering in their hearts, but after discovering the fire in the rear, they panicked for a moment, and then they met Tu Mo's Manchuria Camp and Green Camp head-on!
Seeing that it was Lao Man rushing over from the other side, the cavalrymen with white flags were stunned.
Before they were stunned for a long time, they heard the other side yelling in Manchu: "Men, come on, these little bastards are the Eight Banners inside the pass. Why should we suffer outside the pass and they enjoy the blessings inside the pass?! The Ming Emperor I said, as long as we kill them, we can enjoy the blessings in the pass from now on! Kill!"
He's from outside the customs!
I heard that the Eight Banners soldiers outside the pass are still eating their hair and drinking blood in order to maintain their combat effectiveness! Can we win against these savages?
For a moment, these cavalrymen with white flags were frightened for a while, but then they suddenly had a second thought.
No, those Guanwai masters who can fight tough battles have long been beheaded by Ming thieves. These people are all traitors who are greedy for life and afraid of death. What can we say to traitors?
In another moment, the cavalrymen with white flags were full of confidence.
If you can't beat the Ming thief, how can you beat the traitors like you?
What are the traitors proud of?
The horses neighed and the cavalry charged together.
The descendants of the Chengde and Yongping green battalions only had weapons and no adequate defensive measures. In the moment of the battle, there was no way to stop them. They were defeated by the cavalry with white flags. The cavalry with white flags seemed to be torn apart. A hole crisscrossed toward the inside.
The expressions of the cavalrymen with white flags were extremely surprised. Many people laughed, thinking that the Ming army was nothing more than this.
But at this moment, when they relaxed, they saw the neatly arranged Fubo camp. In an instant, bullets and bullets were fired, and countless cavalrymen with white flags fell off their horses and died.
After experiencing the first round of shooting, Yu Dayou did not let them engage in the second round of shooting, and immediately let go of the road. In an instant, Zhao Yong, the admiral of the Encourage Battalion, personally led the elite cavalry to charge out and attack the cavalry with white flags!
"No, Mingqi rushed into the formation!"
When Shang Shan saw this situation, he immediately screamed inwardly and said in a panic: "Get in formation, get in formation quickly!"
However, no matter how much Shang Shan shouted, there was no time to stop the Ming cavalry from charging into the formation. However, Zhao Yong easily led the cavalry to disperse the cavalry with white flags at the end of their crossbows. They marched unimpeded and entered the burning Eight Banners vanguard camp!
"kill!"
The Ming army killed everyone on sight. Their spears pierced the bodies of the Eight Banners soldiers one after another, and directly knocked them away together with their armor, making them scream in agony.
As the screams increased, the panicked calls also gradually increased: "We've lost, we've lost!"
"The Ming army is too scary!"
In an instant, the entire military camp collapsed. Seeing this, Shang Shan knew that the situation was not good. When he was about to fight, he saw Zhao Yong, the admiral of the Guyong Battalion, jumping on his horse and rushing in front of Shang Shan with a gun. !
Without waiting for Shang Shan to react, he shot directly, punching a bloody hole in Shang Shan's chest and nailing him to the ground!
The timid Tu Mo rode a yellow horse and slowly led the Manchu battalion that was initially dispersed back in a roundabout way. He immediately emboldened himself and shouted in Manchu: "Surrender quickly! Surrenders!" Avoid death!"
"Bah, none of our Eight Banners soldiers surrendered!"
An Eight Banners soldier angrily scolded Tu Mo: "I am not like you, greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"damn it!"
With a sullen face, Tu Mo slashed the Eight Banners soldier to the ground with one strike, then dismounted from his horse and chopped off his head without hesitation, instantly frightening Dorobelle who was leading the trouble not far away. .
Nadorobele was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and even became vaguely incontinent. After seeing Tu Mo, his eyes immediately lit up. Regardless of the filth on his body, he immediately climbed up to Tu Mo and shouted loudly: "Tu Mo, it's me! It's me and Bi! We are both good friends! You forgot that you forgot to bring money when you went to the alley, was it I who lent you the money?"
"You can go to Fengtian only because I let my Amma go!"
Hearing Naduo Luobele's words, Tu Mo squinted his eyes, looked at Bing Bi, and immediately cursed angrily: "You are a slave, what kind of relationship do you have? I am the commander-in-chief of the Manchuria Camp of the Ming Dynasty, the general of Manchuria and Liaodong! "
"Listen, if you surrender, your braids will be cut off to avoid death!"
After saying that, Tu Mo looked evil and sneered. Just when he was about to kill him, he saw that the man named Aisinjueluo cut off his braids without hesitation. At the same time, he said diligently: "I know where E Zha is. He It’s Prince Xin from the imperial court, it’s a great achievement to catch him!”
Hearing this, Tu Mo's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, my dear, lead the way quickly!"
