Under the black sky, fires were raging in Wu Jun's two camps. Xiao Huer, the commander of Dashun Boy's Camp, supported an injured comrade and once again retreated from the vehicle formation where Wu Jun was holding on. This vehicle array is located in the center of Wu Jun's second battalion. It actually surrounds the city with carts transporting food and armor to protect the core of the second battalion. This is just a simple fortification, not solid at all. However, the defending general Guan Ning under Wu Sangui defended extremely resolutely and repelled four fierce attacks by the Dashun Army. In front of the car formation, countless corpses of soldiers from both sides were piled up in layers!
Xiaohu's brigade (the Dashun Army's organization is roughly divided into four levels: battalion, brigade, headquarters and sentry) participated in three fierce attacks, and the first two were repelled by the enemy with muskets and bows and arrows. During the third attack, because the opponent's firecrackers were so hot that they could no longer function, they had a hand-to-hand fight. The battle was extremely fierce. The soldiers of the Dashun Army once broke into the vehicle formation and rushed to the enemy's Chinese tent. However, they were defeated after a Wu Jun general who looked like an iron tower personally led dozens of armored guards to counterattack.
Just a few dozen Ming army armored warriors counterattacked, and hundreds of soldiers from the Children's Camp were defeated! It would have been unbelievable if something like this had happened when the Dashun Army was marching toward Beijing at the beginning of the year.
But now, it's not a big deal... because an insurgent army like the Dashun Army doesn't have much background to begin with. In terms of equipment, training, logistics support, etc., they are all unsatisfactory. They rely on their drive to conquer the country and dominate the country. When victory is in sight, of course everyone is brave and unstoppable. But once everyone discovered that winning a country does not mean having a share in it, their drive and hard work suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The Haier Camp where Xiao Huer is located has relatively high morale among the Dashun Army battalions. After all, many of the soldiers in the Haier Camp are helpless orphans who joined the army. They have long regarded Dashun Dynasty as their home and Li Zicheng as their... Dad. Even if he is wronged, he cannot abandon his family and his father.
But when Xiao Huer and the others saw the people who had fled from Beijing under the Guguan Great Wall, and knew how the evil Tatars rewarded their own family, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts - look at how they are able to dominate the country? Land was divided, houses were divided... the three hundred miles around Beijing were divided.
On his side, he risked his life to help the emperor conquer the world, but in the end he only got 10 taels of silver... After retreating to Shanxi, the emperor was still stingy and just asked everyone to continue to serve as soldiers to feed themselves.
It seems that the emperor has never regarded the brothers as children, only that they are working for one tael of silver a month's military pay.
In this case, you guys should just take it easy and be worthy of the two cents of silver...
Probably the fighting spirit supported by one tael of silver was almost exhausted. The momentum of this wave of retreat was much more violent than the previous two. I couldn't stop even after retreating three or four hundred steps, and I was almost driven out by my opponent. Camped. In the end, Luo Hu, who was supervising the battle, used his strength and beheaded several headquarters and sentry commanders who escaped before the battle, and finally managed to stop the decline.
Xiao Hu'er was also brought over by one of Luo Hu's soldiers, and they fought for three consecutive battles. He had previously supported a comrade and ran back from the front line, but his physical strength was a bit too much. He stopped in front of Luo Hu and gasped. After a while, he said hoarsely: "Brother, what should I do?"
Xiao Huer's parents died, and he was brought into the Dashun Army by Luo Hu. Therefore, he also took the surname Luo and called him Luo Xiaohu. He also called Luo Hu his eldest brother.
Luo Hu looked at the little brother whose face was covered with sweat, blood and traces of fireworks, and felt unbearable in his heart - everyone worked so hard, but what did they get?
He took a deep breath of air filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and coughed: "Xiaohu, you come to be the captain and lead the brothers to charge again!"
The original commander had just been dismissed by Luo Hu because of three defeats.
Xiaohu looked back at the blazing front line, paused for a moment and then said: "Brother, after three battles, it still doesn't work. The opportunity has been lost..."
Tonight was a surprise attack, and it was a surprise victory. The three formations charged just now, if they could fight for 10% to 20% or even more losses, they would go forward. But everyone just took a breath!
Now that Wu Jiajun has reacted, what chance is there?
"Hit me again!" Luo Hu roared. He is really unwilling!
Under the fierce gaze of Xiao Huer's eldest brother Luo Hu, he had no choice but to call several of his sentry commanders to greet the defeated brothers, regroup, and plan to attack again.
At this moment, the roar of mountains and tsunami-like killing sounds and the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the Wu Army camp. Luo Hu also set up a brigade outside the main camp, under the personal command of deputy general Chen Chuan. Its mission was to cut off the connection between Wu Jun's A Zi Second Battalion and other Wu Jun camps and prevent Wu Jun from reinforcing the A Zi Second Battalion.
Obviously, the brigade commanded by Chen Chuan was being violently attacked by the Wu Army's cavalry!
"Xiaohu..." Luo Hu, who knew something was wrong, shouted, "Xiaohu! Xiaohu!"
Luo Xiaohu, who was sweating profusely while reorganizing his team, was pulled over by Luo Hu's soldiers again and came to Luo Hu.
"Brother..."
Luo Hu's voice was already a little hoarse, "Quick, take your people to support Vice General Chen!"
...
"Boom, boom, boom..." There was a roar, and a group of armored soldiers twenty or thirty steps in front of Liu Sheng were suddenly hit by a volley of fire cannons and staggered. The remaining armored soldiers who were not hit by the bullets also panicked and turned around. Just leave.
"Throw down the musket! Draw the knife! Charge with me!"
Liu Sheng howled at the top of his lungs, and the fire gun soldiers who followed him all dropped their turtle-dove foot guns, drew out their waist knives, and howled at the retreating Dashun armored soldiers.
Like Luo Hu's children's camp, the attacks of Liu Fangliang's armored soldiers were also repelled one after another. Wu Jun, who defended the first battalion of A character, finally persisted until Liu Sheng led 500 fire rifle soldiers to come to the rescue.
The firecrackers under Wu Sangui also used the turtle-dove-foot firecrackers provided by Zheng Zhilong. There were only a small number of them, about 500 of them. It has always been Wu Sangui's treasure, and like the Yiding Tuqi, they are all controlled by him personally.
Because these firecrackers have been trained for many years and know exactly how to load and fire correctly. Of course, if they encounter the Tatar cavalry, they will not be able to do it, but tonight they encountered the armored soldiers of the rogue bandits - the Wu army was completely victorious against the rogue bandits. The results have already established a psychological advantage. That's why they were able to take their time and wait until their opponents were twenty or thirty steps away before firing a volley. In just one round, the opponent's armored soldiers were destroyed!
At the same time, thousands of Yiding cavalry led by Wu Sangui defeated a brigade of children's battalion infantry commanded by Chen Chuan. The Yiding cavalry was a powerful force that could compete with the Eight Banners soldiers, but certainly not the children's battalion with the same number. Resistant.
Therefore, Chen Chuan didn't even persist until Luo Xiaohu and his troops arrived, and he was already defeated.
Seeing the collapse of Chen Chuan's first brigade of soldiers from the Children's Battalion, Luo Hu couldn't hold on anymore and refused to let Luo Xiaohu go out again. He had to howl and order: "Throw away the torches and retreat in the dark!"
Hearing his roar, the soldiers in the Boy's Camp threw away their torches one after another. The surroundings darkened, but the vision in the distance became clearer. The sparks all over the mountains and plains were slowly flowing towards Wu Jun's camp.
But Luo Hu knew that this was his signal to retreat!
The emperor commanded the army to bluff, just to cover the withdrawal of his soldiers from the Wu army camp.
In this battle under the Guguan Great Wall, the Dashun Army was defeated again... The Dashun Army went from being invincible to being defeated again and again. Isn't this change too fast? How can this go on?
Luo Hu sighed bitterly: "Let's go, we are sorry to the emperor and have failed again..."
Luo Xiaohu on the side took a deep breath and whispered: "Brother, brothers are getting more and more demotivated. This can't go on. You are close to the emperor, why don't you talk to him..."
Luo Hu sighed again. Now Chuang Wang's decline is gradually revealed, and Shanxi is about to be in danger! Is there still a chance to allocate land and houses to everyone?
