Is there really Wu Sangui?
Ma Siwen and his 5,000 new green battalion troops felt their hearts go cold.
Their mission tonight is to serve as cannon fodder for the Eight Banners master, and use their lives to hold back the tens of thousands of Wu troops coming from the direction of Nanxi. Five thousand versus ten thousand, if you can count, you will know the odds are against them.
If the leader on the opposite side is still Wu Sangui himself, how else can this battle start?
If there is Wu Sangui, there must be elite Wu troops!
In the two battlefields of Daguan Town and Rongxi Bridge, the Qing army was outnumbered and defeated. It had not yet encountered Wu Sangui, and it seemed that it did not take any advantage. The Qing army there is still dominated by the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers! And Ma Siwen only had a few thousand Green Camp soldiers under his command.
At this time, the loud voice spoke again: "Are you facing the Green Flag brothers? How much military salary does the Emperor of Manchuria give you in a month? Is it worth working for this little money? You might as well join me, and I will lead you to conquer the world. , destroy the imperial court in Manchuria, let’s sit in the country together, and I will give you houses, land, and wives, isn’t that good?”
"OK!"
"This is great."
As soon as "Wu Sangui" finished speaking, someone started cheering. The applause came from the green battalion soldiers under Ma Siwen. Although the applause was sparse, it did not reach the point of applause. But Ma Siwen knew that the five thousand Green Camp soldiers under him must think so!
How could it be bad to divide the house, land and mother-in-law?
How much salary does it cost per month to serve as a green soldier for the Qing Dynasty? It's just one or two fighting soldiers, one or two guarding soldiers, seven and eight deductions, plus a little corruption of the chief officials at all levels, how much will be left in the hands of the soldiers? With just a few dollars, it was just enough to bully other Han people by yelling at them, but now they were asked to fight Wu Sangui. Or fight four of them one at a time!
The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners over there couldn't win any of the battles. Wouldn't it be crazy if they had to fight a few of them one by one?
Ma Siwen sighed and said loudly: "If it is really His Highness the King of the West, Siwen has nothing to say. But Siwen once went to Yunnan on business and met the King of the West a few times. I wonder if the King of the West can show up to meet him?"
"Why not? But please come out and see General Ma!" the voice replied.
"Okay!" Ma Siwen agreed, and then he really rode out into the battle alone.
He groped forward in the darkness for a while, and when he arrived near the Wu army cavalry holding torches, suddenly, a fire appeared in the dark night ahead, and then more fires, and finally all the fires converged As soon as it came out, it turned into a bonfire.
In the light from the bonfire, an old man wearing a round-neck yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a yellow hood, riding a tall war horse, and a face full of satisfaction appeared, it was Wu Sangui!
After meeting the real Wu Sangui, what else could Ma Siwen have to hesitate about? If you hesitate any longer, you will die!
Moreover, the current Wu Sangui is full of energy and does not look like he has had a stroke. It seems that the previous "Wu Sangui stroke theory" is a complete scam!
Since Wu Sangui did not have a stroke, of course there is no "Wu Yingqi and Wu Guogui dispute". The battle between Wu and Wu was also a game set up by Wu Sangui to trick the Qing army into trap. But the Qing army didn't notice it at all, and fell into the trap stupidly.
Now that the Qing soldiers have fallen into the trap, it seems they are doomed!
This was not a defeat for the Green Camp soldiers, but a loss for many Eight Banners soldiers. This battle will definitely dispel the myth that the Eight Banners are a powerful force and the heavenly soldiers are invincible! That future world.
Thinking of this, Ma Siwen rolled off his horse, then raised his hands in front of Wu Sangui's horse, knelt down with a plop, opened his throat, and shouted with a crying voice: "Although Siwen is in the Qing camp, But I have wanted to restore the Han Dynasty for a long time, but I only hate that I am weak and do not dare to make mistakes. Now that the King of the West is holding high the flag of righteousness and wants to do great things, Siwen should swear to follow him to the death! If the king does not give up, Siwen is willing to be the pioneer and the king. Kill the prisoners!"
His shouting made the five thousand green camp soldiers below extremely happy. They all shouted together: "We are willing to follow the King of the West to kill the captives!"
Wu Sangui laughed loudly: "Okay! General Ma, get up quickly, let's kill the prisoners together!"
"Kill the prisoners! Kill the prisoners! Kill the prisoners."
On the battlefield, the two armies that were originally facing each other actually cheered in the same way.
At the other end of the battlefield, Yue Le was sitting on a horse on the battlefield outside Daguan Town. He was only a hundred or two hundred steps away from the line of fire, almost right behind the line of fire!
On his left and right sides, a fire was lit, and a large flag was planted beside the fire, forming the shape of a flag gate, fluttering in the wind. The banner on the left is embroidered with "Prince Heshuo'an", and on the right is embroidered with "General Dingyuan Pingkou".
His cronies, Goshiha and the palace guards, all took off their arms and stood in a row holding swords with ghost heads. There were a row of long poles stuck behind their backs. Many of the poles already had bloody human heads hanging on them - these were not ordinary. The heads are all the heads of the Eight Banners disciples who escaped from the battle! No matter whether you have a yellow belt or a red belt, it won't work when you get to Prince An Yue Le.
This prince not only has the power to act expediently and kill first, but also to show off later, he can also use ruthless means to disown his relatives. Just now, one of the first batch of soldiers fled to the infantry formation in front of the woods, and then the horse soldiers who were dragged to Yue Le called Yue Le "Uncle King"! In the end, it was all settled with one blow!
This guy is so ruthless that he wouldn't be able to do it if someone else was in charge of supervising the army!
Aixinjueluo's yellow belt will be killed when asked. Even Ao Bai wouldn't dare to do that! But Yue Le dared to do so. In the twelfth year of Shunzhi, he became Zuo Zongzheng of the clan and took charge of the affairs of the clan.
However, Yue Le would not use the heads of Aixinjueluo and Jueluo unless he had to. He was really at his wits end now. Just now, a first-class guard of the royal palace who was responsible for monitoring the situation in the plain to the east came to report to him, telling him that on the plain thirty or forty miles away, two armies facing each other with torches had merged!
Two armies that were supposed to fight to the death merged together. What does this mean? This shows that one side surrendered without a fight!
Now the question is, who will surrender? Wu Bing? There were fifteen to twenty thousand Wu soldiers coming from the direction of Nanxi!
Fifteen thousand to twenty thousand Wu soldiers surrendered to five thousand Green Camp soldiers? Is there such a good thing?
At this moment, the 12,000 to 3,000 Wu soldiers on the battlefield in Daguan Town are still fighting against Yue Le's 15,000 Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers! Further north, at the Rongxi Bridge battlefield, more than 2,000 Wu soldiers were fighting against more than 20,000 Qing troops. No matter how many attacks the Qing army launched, they remained unmoved.
This group of Wu soldiers are so fierce at a disadvantage. Will the Wu soldiers, who are three or four times superior in strength, surrender to thousands of bad soldiers from the green camp?
Since it is impossible for the Wu soldiers to surrender, the ones who surrender must be the Qing Dynasty's "third-class soldiers" Green Camp soldiers - in today's Qing Dynasty's system, the serious flag soldiers, needless to say, must be of a higher grade than the Green Camp soldiers! The unreliable soldiers of the Six Domains (Pingxi, Ding, Ping, Jing, Xushun, and Haicheng) are also better than the Green Camp soldiers. The green camp soldiers are properly "third-class soldiers", and they are sent to the army.
Moreover, the five thousand green soldiers led by Ma Siwen were abandoned by Yue Le. They were not expected to be able to block the Wu soldiers coming from Nanxi County. They just wanted to delay them for a while, but they did not expect that this Ma Siwen would actually come. Surrendered without a fight!
Who is this Ma Siwen? He was a third-class uncle of the Qing Dynasty, a serious disciple of the Eight Banners, and he was a member of the Qing Dynasty. Why did he surrender without a fight?
Yue Le thought about it and only thought of one possibility. He met a lively Wu Sangui!
Thinking of this, Yue Le knew that he had fallen into a trap carefully woven by Wu Sangui and Ao Bai. If he could not defeat the Wu army in front of him before the 20,000-strong army led by Wu Sangui arrived behind him, then what awaited him Only the whole army will be annihilated!
In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, Yue Le could only use the little time Wu Sangui needed to reorganize and surrender his troops and rush on the road, and go all out to repel the enemy from the front!
But the Wu soldiers on the battlefield in Daguan Town were also elite. How could they be easily repulsed there?
So Yue Le had to work hard and go to the front line in person, forcing his Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers to attack the Wu soldiers' position one after another.
After the roar of those Weiyuan general cannons whose accuracy was poor and whose shells always exploded early (mainly because the distance was too far) and the cannons whose accuracy was good but whose lethality was too small, stopped again, the gunshots screamed for death. It resounded throughout the dark night.
The anxious Yue Le stopped pretending to be a Man-Han family, and simply broke up the Green Battalion New Army under him into battalions and incorporated them into the various leaders of the Eight Banners New Army. The Eight Banners soldiers escorted the Green Battalion soldiers to the Wu soldiers. The battle formation launched an attack.
The green battalion soldiers holding spears and swords cried out and launched a charge. There was no formation in the dark night. They just rushed forward swarm after swarm. The Eight-Fanner shotgun soldiers and cavalry followed behind. The shotgun soldiers fired their guns to cover, and the cavalry moved forward. They used bows and arrows from a distance to hit the Wu soldiers' position, knocking down a few from time to time. However, the Wu soldiers' shotgun soldiers stood up and took the beating without firing a single shot. There were only twenty "red cannons" left. Stop firing and hit the iron sand on the heads of the green soldiers who were forced to fight to die!
As soon as the muzzle flash came out, a large number of the charging green soldiers fell down.
If it were daytime, the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the formation and the Green Camp officers leading the team could take a closer look. Are these fallen Green Camp soldiers really dead or pretending to be dead?
But it was night now, and the battlefield was still filled with gunpowder smoke. The Eight Banners soldiers at the rear could not see the situation in front at all. They only knew that a battalion of green soldiers was driven onto the battlefield, and half of them could break through the artillery fire of the Wu soldiers. It would be good to rush to the front of Wu Jun's formation which was lit by piles of bonfires.
But what about rushing forward? What awaited them was a volley of shotguns and a rain of arrows - Wu Bing's elite spearmen all carried bows and arrows. Now they put down their spears, replaced them with bows and arrows, and shot arrows like crazy with the shotgunners.
Bullets and arrows swept past, and the Green Camp soldiers fell down one after another.
"Do the rebels' guns and arrow clusters have eyes?" Yue Le held up his telescope in the distance and murmured to himself. None of the Goshiha or the palace guards behind him answered. Everyone looked ahead with their mouths half open.
Wu Bing's firepower is too fierce! And it’s incredibly accurate. It’s night time! Could it be that all Wu Bings have night eyes?
And the green battalion soldiers were depleted too fast. Once a battalion of soldiers was thrown in, after a wave of offensive was overturned, at most dozens of people would come back crying. These were relatively honest Gansu and Shaanxi soldiers. If they encountered the slippery Zhili soldiers, Just wipe out the entire army!
With this style of play, how long can five thousand Green Camp soldiers be consumed?
The Green Camp soldiers are "dead", is it time for the Eight Banners soldiers?
But how long can the Eight Banners soldiers die? Moreover, the more than 20,000 Wu troops in the east will arrive at the battlefield tomorrow morning at most. By then, there will be only 30,000 to 10,000. This means that the whole army will be annihilated!
Just when everyone was anxious, Yue Le suddenly spoke: "Send the order to hold a military meeting before the formation!"
"We are probably defeated, right?" On the position of General Weiyuan's artillery of the Qing army, it was Na Na who was lying behind a row of large wooden shields, holding up a telescope and muttering to himself.
He came here just now when he was chased away by Wu Jun's Bamboo Lancers - if there are cannons, there must be a main force!
Wu soldiers would not easily chase the Qing army's artillery array, so Naqin ran to the artillery array very tactfully. Along with him were several Eight Banners disciples from old Beijing who were all "loyal and brave ministers" of the Qing Dynasty. ah!
After arriving, they did not leave. The artillery position was so important, how could it not be protected by serious Eight Banners soldiers? So these people stayed here to protect the artillery with Wang Zhongxiao and others.
And Wang Zhongxiao didn't embarrass them - he was against the decadent Manchu feudal dynasty, not ordinary bannermen like Na Qin, so he kept them and even took Na Qin and Dai Zi to watch the battle.
When the man saw "Master Wang's defeat" in front of him, his face turned pale with fright. Look at this, the Wu family army is going to win, and the Qing army is going to be defeated!
And Dai Zi was even more frightened. He seemed to have hit the cannonball over the Eight Banners cavalry just now!
Will he be held accountable later?
Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it's going to be a disastrous defeat, right? Will he take the blame then? How can he afford such a big responsibility for his small sacrifice? I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Ninggu Pagoda.
When Naqin and Dai Zizheng were frightened, there was a sound of horse hooves behind them, and then the loud voice of Wang Zhongxiao's bidding general Wang Leiyong said: "Oh no, the green battalion soldiers led by Ma Zongrong on the east plain seem to have surrendered to the enemy. !”
"Surrender to the enemy?"
"How dare he."
"It's over, it's over!"
Dai Zi, Na Qin and several other Eight Banners disciples were all anxious. They all knew that there were ten thousand Wu troops coming from the direction of Nanxi County, and Ma Siwen was there to stop them.
If Ma Siwen surrenders to the enemy, then
"It turns out that Ma Siwen is Wu Sangui's man!" Wang Zhongxiao suddenly roared, "No wonder the traitors seem to know our combat strategy!"
This Ma Siwen is indeed hateful. If he is not hateful, then who is the hateful spy?
"That's right!" Naqi clapped his hands, "It must be this Ma Siwen who sold us out!"
Dai Zi was also heartbroken: "Yes, it must be him, otherwise how could the traitor's arrangement be so clever?"
"But why did he do this?" Wang Zhongxiao gritted his teeth and said, "The court treats him well. He is already a third-class uncle!"
The kisser snorted: "Wu Sangui is still King Pingxi! Shikai, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do?" Wang Zhongxiao looked sad, "We are all descendants of the Eight Banners, members of the Qing Dynasty. When we encounter national calamities, we can only do our best to retaliate! Therefore, we must remain useful!"
Of course, staying useful means running away!
Naqin, Dai Zi and those few Manqizi from Beijing are all cunning. Of course they don’t want to die for their country. How painful it is to die for your country! So now everyone is looking to Wang Zhongxiao for help.
They won’t be able to run away! At first glance, Wang Zhongxiao is a master who is very good at running away.
Wang Zhongxiao thought about it for a while and then said: "I guess Prince An also wants to keep the big guy useful. He is throwing the Green Camp soldiers in waves to die just to consume the Wu soldiers' strength. Wait until the weather clears. Liang, he will let us attack together. As long as we push back the Wu soldiers a little, we can escape."
"How to seize the road? The road over Rongxi Bridge is still blocked by Wu soldiers!" Dai Zi said anxiously.
"There are only more than 2,000 people there, and they can't block so many of us," Wang Zhongxiao said. "At best, we don't go through Rongxi Bridge."
"If you don't go through Rongxi Bridge?" the pro asked, "Where can I go?"
"Let's swim!" Wang Zhongxiao asked, "Do you know how to swim?"
"Yes!" The kiss nodded, "You need to know how to take the bodyguard and bodyguard exams, I have practiced!"
"I can do it too, I've practiced it too!"
"I'm pretty good at water!"
Several bannermen are good at watercraft. Now in the Kangxi year, the Eighth Banners are no longer able to fight hard, but they are not bad yet. They still exercise regularly on weekdays.
"Brother Shikai, I don't know how." Dai Zi almost cried, "I'm afraid of water!"
Are you afraid of water?
Wang Zhongxiao thought to himself: Are you afraid of death? If you are not afraid, it will be easy!
"You're not afraid. If a man is not afraid to death, why is he afraid of water?" As he spoke, Wang Zhongxiao slapped his chest again, "There is also me! The emperor asked me to protect you, and I will definitely protect you." He thought for a while and then said , "Everyone, hurry up and get ready. Don't wear any armor that's too heavy. You can't cross the river wearing armor. By the way, prepare some edible waterproof leather and wrap it tightly. We may not be able to enter Fushun after crossing Rongxi." City!"
"What can Fushun City do?"
"It's hard to say," Wang Zhongxiao shook his head, "There are a lot of green soldiers in Fushun City now!"
Now the one guarding Fushun is Fu Biao, the governor of Sichuan, Luo Sen!
I don’t know if Rosen ever took refuge with Wu Sangui and Wang Zhongxiao in history, but his Fu Biao will definitely follow Wu Sangui!
"And Prince Pingxi is also in Fushun City!" Wang Zhongxiao added, "If Wu Sangui is still alive, he will definitely have arrangements, so we must prepare for the worst!"
As soon as he analyzed this point, a guard from Prince An's Palace came over on flying horse and conveyed Yue Le's general order: "Your Majesty has an order. He ordered Commander Wang and Commander Dai of the artillery team to attend the military meeting immediately. You two should follow quickly. I come!"
Wang Zhong said filially, "As expected, I guessed it. Yue Le is going to run away!"
He looked around and whispered: "Go and get ready, Dai Gongfeng and I will be back as soon as we go!"
