There was an internal rebellion, and King Zhishun and a group of high-ranking generals were injured in the bombing. They lacked their original suppression capabilities. The Tianzhu Army camp suddenly fell into chaos under the sudden attack of Wang Guodong, Luan Dacheng, and Liu Hexuan.
Su Yangzhi was killed, and all the Tianzhu soldiers under his command, Jiala, defected to him under the instigation of the rebel soldiers. The situation has changed rapidly and is getting worse.
The Heavenly Support Army seemed to be strong, but it only had eight thousand fighting soldiers. The rest were auxiliary soldiers responsible for the baggage and the coated Aha who came with the army.
In one day and night, as many as two to three thousand were lost. Not only was the vitality severely damaged, but also the muscles and bones were severely damaged. If we continue to fight like this for three or four days, we will be exhausted.
All King Zhishun Shang Kexi could rely on was his more than 2,000 cavalry troops. However, for attacking the mountain, the cavalry brigade had no way of attacking.
What's even more shocking is that because they were afraid of being pursued and retaliated by the opponent, Wang Guodong and others took advantage of the chaos to let go of all the other horses in the camp except for their own horses.
After that, they fought their way out in the chaos and went south to the "Ming Army" in Laotieshan, or approached the seaside and surrendered to Zheng Zhilong. This was their only hope for survival.
Fortunately, the Tianzhu Army's camp was very close to Laotieshan Mountain, less than four miles away. Otherwise, before they could reach the foot of the mountain, the troops would have been chased to death by the pursuers behind them.
For fear of being accidentally injured, Wang Guodong first sent a messenger to go up the mountain with the Eight Banners. He had to get the consent of the Ming army before he could take any action. Otherwise, he would be cooked by the fierce fire oil thrown down by the opponent.
As a result, the other party did not allow them to go up the mountain. Instead, they sent people down and brought the troops to the small plain to the east, where they went to the seaside and surrendered to the Zheng Navy at sea.
Originally, this place was closer to the Denglai Navy on the west side, making it easier to surrender. The Denglai Navy was also a more orthodox army.
However, the Japanese army had a better relationship with the Zheng family, so they ordered the Qing army to march eastward so that they could surrender to Zheng Zhibao.
Outside the temporary camp on the shore, the soldiers and horses were ordered to come into contact with the armed forces and all disarm to show their sincerity in surrender.
Wang Guodong and others knew that they had no way out and would die if caught by the Qing army, so they had no choice but to do so.
"Hahahaha...good, good!"
When Zheng Zhibao heard that someone had led his troops to surrender, he was immediately overjoyed. This was a great achievement that he could repay the prince.
"The guilty generals Wang Guodong, Luan Dacheng, and Liu Hexuan have met with the general! This is the proof of surrender. It is the head of Shang Kexi's Jia La'e Zhensu Yangzhi. This is his seal. Please verify it, the general!"
Without this gift, it means there is no sincerity, and the other party cannot rest assured at all. Fortunately, Su Yangzhi took the initiative to seek death.
"That's right! You guys are serious about it!"
Zheng Zhibao ordered his soldiers to accept them all, and then sent someone to ask Mao Yuanyi, the chief military officer of the Denglai Navy, and others to come and identify them. This can be regarded as one of the major gains of this landing operation so far.
Abe Shigeci was also present. From the oral accounts of the three people, he learned more important information than this head, which was that King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty was still happy or injured, and it was difficult for the Tianshu Army to fight anymore.
If the Qing army launches another attack today, it will definitely be the more powerful Eight Banners soldiers and the Tianyou Army commanded by two other kings with different surnames.
Moreover, Abe Shigeji also learned the approximate number of enemies killed by his troops. He was able to kill and wound two to three thousand Qing soldiers in one day and night, which was considered a great victory.
The most important thing is that there are less than 400 soldiers who died in the battle together with the injured, and most of them are injured and can recover after timely treatment.
This kind of battle loss ratio is beyond imagination, and it also proves the power of this kind of tactics advocated by the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince.
After counting, the total number of Qing troops who came to surrender this time was 761, including three Niulu Zhangjing, and more than ten people from Bashku and Xiaoqi School, with a total of more than 173,000 taels of silver.
Zheng Zhibao generously gave it to Abe Shigeci for distribution, because the other party first surrendered to his subordinates and was just led to the beach.
There is still a group of Qing soldiers on Guanglu Island in the north who are stubbornly resisting. Zheng Zhibao also needs the other party to continue sending troops north to reinforce the Japanese troops who landed there first.
The Zheng family is an armed maritime merchant and already has a lot of money. Zheng Zhibao is naturally generous. Now that the left and right naval forces of the Qing Dynasty have been eliminated, the sea route from the south to the Kimchi Kingdom will be unobstructed.
Doing business with the Kimchi Country is the most profitable thing. The Kimchi Country is rich in ginseng, mink skins, deer antlers, gemstones and other products. If you manage it properly, you can make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.
A captured merchant ship was carrying such valuable materials, and they had all been swallowed up by Zheng Zhibao. Abe once again did not mention it, so Zheng Zhibao would reciprocate the favor.
The two sides had agreed in advance that all the results of the war on land would belong to the Japanese army. Not to mention that he also had a snowflake candy business with General Tokugawa. Zheng Zhibao would definitely not lose the big for the small.
Only now did Wang Guodong and others realize that what was on the mountain was not the Ming army, but a large number of Japanese troops coming from afar. No wonder they were so brave and good at fighting that they suffered a lot.
So they, the surrendered generals, thought of one thing. If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops landed from the Liaodong Peninsula, even Dorgon's men might not be able to defeat them easily.
There were ships of the Zheng family and the Dengrai navy at sea, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the shore clinging to Laotieshan.
Even if the Dog Tartars can win this battle, they will probably lose a lot of troops.
Fortunately, we men abandoned the secret and turned to the light in time, otherwise we would have been burned alive by the Japanese army sooner or later.
His dog's life was saved for the time being, but presumably they were all very scared.
As for whether the official can be reinstated, that depends on the Crown Prince's wishes.
I heard that the Crown Prince has returned from his study tour in the immortal world. He is the true successor of His Majesty the Great Emperor Gao, and he is very capable.
Wang Guodong and others have never stayed in the capital, and they only heard about it.
However, the prince was able to move troops from Japan, a strategy that only a few people could do.
At least their Tianzhu army was beaten to death by the Japanese army. It is estimated that Shang Kexi's time is running out.
It is difficult to determine whether King Zhishun is dead or alive, but it was learned from the surrendered soldiers that there was indeed an explosion in Shang Kexi's tent.
If a king of a different surname in the Qing Dynasty was killed in one battle, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
In terms of rewards based on merit, being named uncle is not too much.
But no one dares to claim this achievement alone, and there is no guarantee that Shang Kexi has died of his injuries.
Regardless of the group of people here, including those who surrendered, they all hope that Shang Kexi, who has been full of evil, will die soon...
"Slave, please give me your regards!"
Hearing that Daishan sent people, Shang Keai hurriedly led dozens of soldiers out of the camp.
The rebels had fled the camp, and the mutiny just now gradually subsided.
It's just that the camp is still in chaos and needs to be ordered to be reorganized.
"Where is King Zhishun? My master asked you why there are frequent noises in the camp? And why is there such chaos?"
Jia La'e Zhen Zhang Kushan came to inquire about the situation on Daishan's order. Originally, he just thought that a slave might have accidentally lit the gunpowder and caused the explosion.
However, as time went by, something seemed to be going wrong in the camp of the Tianyou Army. There seemed to be shouts of death, and maybe someone was waiting for an opportunity to rebel.
Seeing the mess inside, Zhang Kushan knew the general situation, but he still needed to hear Shang Kexi's report before he could go back and report to his master.
"Uh-huh, my brother was injured by the hidden weapon of the barbarian dog, and he is unconscious at the moment. Someone just took the opportunity to mutiny, but has been defeated by our troops and led the remaining soldiers to flee to the southern mountains!"
Shang Keai also heard the news just now, but he didn't dare to act rashly. Once he fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, it would be too late.
He could only order all his soldiers to gather to ensure the safety of the Chinese army's tent. He was powerless to protect other parts of the camp.
Fortunately, the rebellion was very short, and it subsided automatically within a quarter of an hour. The report to Zhang Kushan could take the credit for himself.
"Oh? Take me to see it quickly!"
Zhang Kushan saw that Shang Keai's eyes were not wandering, and it didn't seem like he was lying, so he wanted to take a closer look.
Of the five Niulu cavalry he brought, three Niulu were left outside, and two Niulu were led into the camp by themselves, so they were not afraid of being deceived by the other party.
When they arrived at King Zhishun's tent, they saw only two people lying in the tent, namely King Zhishun Shang Kexi and his third brother Shang Kehe.
There seemed to be a lot of blood stains on the ground, the furnishings were messy, and there were only a dozen ventilation holes in the surrounding tents.
“King Jishun???”
Zhang Kushan was not a reckless person and could lower his voice and called out, but Shang Kexi still closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.
"Uh-huh, my brother is still in a coma!"
Shang Keai hurriedly reminded him, lest the Eight Banners master disturb his brother's recovery. Once something went wrong, it would be irreparable.
"Tell me the whole story!"
In view of the current situation, whether Shang Kexi is alive or dead is beyond his control. Zhang Kushan must know what is going on.
Shang Keai had no choice but to tell the whole story of what happened not long ago without missing a word, thinking that this was also a thought caused by his younger brother.
"The barbarian is so sinister and cunning, how could King Zhishun act like this?"
After hearing this, Zhang Kushan began to scold him. Although Shang Kexi was a king with a different surname personally named by the emperor, he was unconscious now. It would not be a problem to say a word or two occasionally.
"My brother is also eager to know the principles of barbarian hidden weapons. I don't know what I should do?"
Shang Keai just explained briefly and would not go on. That would be tantamount to blaming all the mistakes on his younger brother, so he asked about the next step.
"You quickly arrange the affairs of the camp and report to Prince Rui with me!"
The matter is of great importance, and the master and Prince Rui must know about it as soon as possible. After daylight, Master Wang will continue to attack the mountain.
An hour later, Dorgon came with Daishan, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others to express condolences. The Tianzhu Army camp was full of Eight Banners soldiers.
Dorgon first sent his own doctor to examine Shang Kexi. After confirming that he was really injured, he quickly ordered him to prescribe an antidote. At least King Zhishun of the Qing Dynasty could not die like this.
Then let Shang Keai and others tell him everything that happened during the day and night of attacking the mountain, especially the details about the barbarian weapons. If you want to go on, they can be more detailed.
"King Gong Shun, King Huai Shun!"
"The slave is here!"
"The king orders you two to take over the troops of King Zhishun after Chen Shi and attack the dog barbarians on the mountain from the east and west sides!"
"Slave, you obey!"
"Second brother! You take the red flag unit and the three armored men with the red flag to attack the enemy from the front!"
"As you command!"
Dorgon made this arrangement because he understood the casualties of the Tianyou Army. Even if Shang Kexi was not injured, his troops were no longer able to launch another strong attack.
The God's Blessing Army is simply larger in scale than the God's Blessing Army, and is very close in terms of individual combat power. Where the God's Blessing Army cannot conquer, the God's Blessing Army is also in trouble.
At the critical moment, the soldiers of the Eight Banners would have to go into battle to charge. If we expect these slave soldiers to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty, I really don't know if we will have to wait until the time of Shenzi.
The Tianzhu Army's attack can only be regarded as a test. From today on, we will invest the Eight Banners soldiers. This will be considered a serious attack, so that the dog barbarians can have a taste of our own power.
Dorgon couldn't think of a good response to the explosive weapons used by Gou Manzi. He could only order the attacking soldiers to hold shields and use rockets to try to explode the raging oil barrels as soon as possible.
As for the highly lethal grenades, Dorgon was at a loss after seeing them, but he ordered Kuaiqi to be sent to Shenyang quickly so that people could build more of them so that they could be equipped with Qing soldiers in the future.
This item is very destructive and extremely convenient to use. It is a good item, even the Eight Banners soldiers who are skilled in bow and horse can easily become familiar with and use it.
This time the barbarian dog was clever but was mistaken for his cleverness!
Directly sent a weapon to kill the enemy to the Qing Dynasty!
If each of the Eight Banners soldiers were given five of these, wouldn't they be able to double their combat power?
Even if it is equipped with the Han army, it is very good, and it can be used to siege the cities outside Jinzhou in the future.
If they can capture the capital after autumn, Man Ming will wait to be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty!
"Quick! Master Baqi is watching from behind!"
"Whoever dares to retreat! Beware of the Eight Banner Master shooting him to death!"
Although the Heavenly Blessing Army lost its troops and generals, it still had some value. After obtaining Dorgon's permission, Daishan ordered Shang Keai to mobilize a thousand infantrymen to clear the way for the Eight Banners warriors with red flags.
Daishan did not let his men with the red flag take the lead in the battle. Instead, he asked his son Mandahai's three men with red flags to follow behind the Tianshu Army as a tentative attack.
After figuring out Goumanzi's tactics, he would then invest the main force of Zhenghongqi and launch a fierce attack, striving to defeat the enemy in front of him in one fell swoop.
Now the soldiers were all dumbfounded. The original supervising team were all Han soldiers, so they could still be more merciful and shoot the arrows a little farther. If they were replaced by Eight Banners gentlemen, this would not be possible.
Although Mandahai was still young, he was not ignorant of war. For his first battle, he only sent an infantryman.
The remaining two Jia La will be reserved for the next attack, and he does not expect that his troops can attack them in one go.
If that were the case, King Zhishun would not have lost three to four thousand men in one day and night.
But Mandahai didn't believe that this little old iron mountain could stop the attack of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers.
There is no city on the top of the mountain. I heard that the barbarians just dug trenches for defense. How could this be successful? ? ?
"boom……"
The artillery team of the Tianshu Army was responsible for providing fire cover. The artillery formation was as massive as yesterday, with the potential to bloom all over the mountains, which could better match the prestige of the Qing army's attack.
At this time, due to repeated destruction by artillery fire and oil fires, there was not much vegetation left on the mountain, leaving bare mounds of earth and stones exposed.
Dorgon did not believe that the Eight Banners soldiers with eight armors could not defeat the mountain in front of them.
Daishan also didn't believe that the troops of the two red flags could not even deal with the local barbarians who landed in Liaodong.
As the pioneer of the Eight Banners, Mandahai is even more eager to make contributions so that he can succeed his brother Shuotuo and truly take charge of all the people with the red flag.
At the moment, only Shuotuo, the defeated general, was in an extremely calm mood, watching what was happening in front of him as if watching the excitement.
Through the tragic defeat a few days ago, Shuotuo finally understood the ferocious fighting power of this barbarian.
Only a few of his own Bagalas escaped, so you can imagine how powerful the other party is...
