These two can be considered as trying their best. If they try harder, Prince Yu's remaining troops will have to be lost. They might as well know how to explain to Prince Yu after they go back.
"If we don't withdraw, it will be over!"
These two people alone were not enough for Ah Shan to order the retreat. The impatient Zhengbai Banner Jiala'e Zhentanbai saw that Ah Shan had hesitated early and immediately urged him.
Ashan looked at the corpses and wounded soldiers that were almost covering the ridge in front of him, and used his telescope to look at the people and horses dragging troops on the southern front, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
It was said that they were cooperating in combat, but what was the result?
Who is responsible for the war being fought like this?
Damn God Blessing Army, are you still being so mean at this time?
Ashan originally expected the Qing troops on the southern front to attract the firepower of the barbarians, but he did not expect that the other side seemed to be deliberately delaying their advance. In the end, it was self-defeating, and his troops on the northern front became a living target.
When I saw Prince Yu, I had to put all the blame on this loser tribe. If it weren't for them, the plan they had prepared in advance would have been successful by now.
"……withdraw!"
Six thousand Qing troops were killed without breaking a bloody path, and more than three thousand were killed and injured. After suffering huge casualties, Ashan was forced to order a retreat.
Because if the fight continues, all the troops under his command will be wiped out, and there will be no possibility of withdrawing the troops. Every one of them will die here.
When the men heard the order to retreat, they ran away unscathed as if they were being amnesty.
Anyone who didn't come together to evacuate at this moment either died first or escaped first.
A group of defeated soldiers supported their injured companions and hurriedly retreated to the starting point.
These dog Tatars still want to take away the injured Tatars?
Go ahead and dream!
Upon seeing this, Luo San immediately ordered: "Order the first, second and third companies to fire in stages. After the first company's shells hit the ground and exploded, the second company fired again. The third company did the same thing! A total of two shots!"
"yes!"
Wherever you go, I will explode!
Let you bunch of dog Tatars have a "hot wheel"!
Don’t you think you are invincible?
Then I’ll give you a ride!
Guaranteed to be something you will never forget!
Luo San's idea is very simple, that is, the dog Tatars cannot even take away a single wounded soldier!
These wounded soldiers were also captured by the troops. How could they be allowed to be taken back to the camp for treatment by the Dog Tartars?
Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!
Born here!
Longer than this!
Just die here!
Isn’t it beautiful? Happy? Feeling comfortable?
The Japanese officers and soldiers on the battlefield did not take the initiative to attack this time, but quietly watched the explosion feast that was not over yet.
They also knew that this was the work of the Ming army's gunners. Before they could coordinate well, they could only stand still, otherwise they would be accidentally injured.
This kind of fireball-like attack can make people shudder just by watching it from a distance. If they were really blown to the ground, they would probably be worse than dead.
After the enemy troops retreated, the Japanese army planned to return to their old business and go up to "harvest crops", at least to get back another thousand or eight hundred battle results.
One is worth two hundred taels of silver!
One thousand is worth two hundred thousand taels!
And no matter life or death!
On this ridge, there were at least five to six thousand enemy soldiers killed and wounded.
It’s equivalent to less than one million taels of silver!
It's like putting a coat of silver on the ridge!
The goal of the Japanese army was to peel off this coat and put it in his pocket.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Run away!"
"She's shelling!"
The Eight Banners soldiers were very experienced in combat. When they heard a series of muffled sounds coming from a distance, they immediately realized that the situation was not good. They heard the sound first just now, and then they were blown away and were stunned.
Now they were ordered to retreat, but they could no longer be hit by the barbarian's bullets. When a group of people heard the reminder from their companions, they ran away like crazy and even the wounded soldiers were temporarily abandoned.
"etc……"
"help me……"
A person with an injured arm can still run on his own, but if his lower body is disabled, he will not be able to run fast at all. When he is about to be bombarded, it is impossible to rely on shouting to impress his companions.
Many Eight Banners soldiers did not want to die immediately and felt that they still had certain rescue value, so they crawled slowly on the ground in the hope of escaping the sea of fire caused by the explosion.
But they don't understand the powerful power of grenades. Living creatures within two feet of the explosion radius will be killed or disabled under the intensive rain of bullets. Even if they are wearing two or three layers of armor, it is difficult to escape unscathed.
These wounded soldiers had difficulty moving to begin with, their movements were not like those of able-bodied people, and they were unable to take evasive measures when being bombarded. Most of them just stayed where they were and were bombed in vain, that's all.
The prince once taught the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion in public that to show mercy to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. Thinking about the people of the Ming Dynasty who were killed, did the dog Tatars ever show mercy to them?
If not, then the entire battalion officers and soldiers do not need to show any degree of mercy to the dog Tatars, because it is meaningless and unnecessary!
Therefore, blood debts must be repaid with blood, not to mention that those who were killed were not women and children, but upright Eight Banners soldiers. This is understandable.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, including Luo San, were hundreds of steps away looking at the target area that had turned into a sea of fire. From time to time, some people clapped their hands excitedly.
Nearly 70% of the wounded soldiers of the Qing army had no time to retreat and were swallowed up by the sudden artillery fire. Now the minor injuries became serious injuries, and the seriously injured ones could die in peace.
After two rounds of shelling, the number of Qing soldiers still standing on the ridge was estimated to be less than 2,000, and the rest were knocked to the ground by iron beads.
"Batalion Commander! Shall we continue to fight?"
"Forget it! We're running out of shells!"
Ten salvos fired out 1,440 artillery shells, and the total supply this time brought only 1,800. In other words, including a bunch of smoke bombs, the whole battalion only had more than 300 artillery shells left.
No wonder the prince said that he could only come to one mortar battalion during this trip. It turned out that this kind of firearms indeed put a huge pressure on the supply of baggage. If too many people came, there would be no ammunition at all.
What to do tomorrow?
Luo San hasn't thought about it yet.
But today I have made a great achievement!
All the dead people in the mountain are dog Tatars, which is enough to defend the prince!
"Come on!"
The Japanese army was very good at choosing the right moment. After hearing the news that the Ming army had stopped shelling, they immediately attacked across the board again, which was called "body grabbing" in a bad way.
In order to prevent someone from pretending to die and launching a sneak attack when the Japanese officers and soldiers were not ready, before "robbing the body", the Nagasaki Ashigaru would shoot the target one more time, so that they could handle it with confidence.
Those who seem to be dead will be shot without a single shot, and the enemy soldiers who are still struggling will be replenished until they are dead. In short, you cannot be bitten by a group of dying dogs. Dream Island Library
Most of the prey is covered in armor, and its weight is very heavy. It usually requires two people to drag it to the destination. Except for the samurai responsible for the pursuit, almost all the spear ashigaru are dispatched.
In the end, even Tiepao Ashigaru and even part of the Ming army joined the ranks of the "corpse snatching army". After all, no one was willing to stand by and watch this kind of making a fortune.
No one knows how much he can get, but first he drags the priceless dog Tatar back to the main formation. He finally killed it and must not let it go to waste.
"You are sluggish, waiting and timid, what crime should you do???"
Aung Bang Zhang Jing Asan of the Zhengbai Banner did not order the artillery to kill the "Ming Army" who had left the position. At this time, he was busy attacking the generals of He Luo Hui and the God's Blessing Army.
"The slave is incompetent!"
He Luohui holds a white flag, Niulu Zhangjing, and has another position, that of Baya Lajia La Zhangjing. His subordinates are all elite Baya La. How can this kind of near-death battle ruin Baya La?
The Tianyou Army obviously didn't want to fight anymore, and wanted his Baya Lala to charge forward and kill He Luohui, so he withdrew with the defeated troops.
"The general is incompetent!"
Cao Dexian, Jia Shikui, and Chang Guofang also followed suit. They, the God Blessed Army, had tried their best. If they tried harder, they would be completely wiped out.
He Luohui's men didn't even attack Bagala, why should they let them attack?
Thousands of Eight Banners soldiers gathered on the northern front. What was the result?
It’s not like I was rejected by the barbarian!
The three Han generals looked down on Ah Shan from the bottom of their hearts.
When it comes to the ability to destroy troops and generals, this Aung Bang Zhangjing is one of the best!
You still expect us to conquer a territory that you can't conquer?
Do you have a pig brain?
The third general silently greeted all Ashan's relatives...
The result of this defeat is secondary. The most important thing is to report the truth to Prince Yu and Prince Rui. This means that the previous battle losses must be reported. Each Niulu is well-organized and cannot be concealed. .
After the inventory, Xiangbai Banner sent out two Jia La and one Niu Lu troops. The total number of troops engaged in the battle was about 3,100, and now there were less than 900 left, which had set a record of battle losses in history.
The Jiala of Zhengbai Banner and Zhenghong Banner were not much better. The combined strength at this moment was only a thousand people, which was equivalent to 60% to 70% of the soldiers.
How to explain to their respective masters?
Both Angbang Zhangjing Ashan of Zhengbai Banner and Jia Lazhangjing Gadhun of Zhenghong Banner are worried. After all, any master will be furious when he hears such a huge battle damage report.
The most terrible thing is that Duduo took advantage of the fact that the weather was not hot in the morning and had already arrived at the front line, preparing to inspect the mountains captured by the king's division. This made all the generals feel a chill on their backs.
"Turg! How is the war going?"
Seeing the solemn expressions of the generals, with a hint of embarrassment and nervousness, Duduo had a premonition that the situation was not good, but before receiving the exact battle report, he still seemed very peaceful.
Ashan belonged to Zhengbai Banner and was naturally the slave of his second brother Dorgon. Duduo first asked Xiangbai Banner Gushan'e Zhenturge, who was his slave.
"Master, the king's army failed to conquer the mountain where the barbarians are entrenched. The slave is incompetent. Please punish me!"
Turge did not dare to lie about the military situation, so he could only take the initiative to plead guilty. The situation was already like this anyway, so he simply gave up. The master could hit or scold him.
"...How many troops were lost?"
Duduo's expression immediately became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if you fail, as long as most of the precious flag soldiers are withdrawn."
The second brother had also reminded himself before that this kind of barbarian was extraordinary and he had to be careful when dealing with it. If he couldn't defeat him, then just let it go.
"...Only...nine hundred left!"
After Turge reported the numbers, he hit his head heavily on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Pa~!"
Dodo no longer asked whether it was true, and slapped Turge on the head with a whip.
"Nine hundred! What a nine hundred! What did I tell you before? Have you forgotten all about it?"
"Pah~! Pah~!"
Duduo almost hated this self-righteous dog slave. He was so angry that he didn't want to talk nonsense to him any more. He raised his hand and whipped him twice.
I had told him a lot, to fight if he could win, and to waste if he couldn't.
I believe this dog slave actually got such a result!
Of the two full Jia La flag soldiers, less than three Niu Lu were left.
Duduo, who was so angry that he felt a burst of chest tightness and heart congestion, held his chest for a long time without saying a word.
"Master, this slave has something to say!"
The real Cheke, who was wearing a white flag, was kneeling on the ground. Blood was flowing out from the wound. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, but he still had to report a special situation.
"A bunch of bastards! Losing soldiers and generals! What other reason is there to shirk responsibility?"
Duduo was furious and didn't want to listen to these idiots' excuses anymore, but since Che Ke was considered an effective minion before, he reluctantly let him speak.
"Master, the slave, like Turge, thought that the dog barbarian had been defeated and could pursue the victory. Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain, the dog barbarian used a firearm that the slave had never seen before. It was no less powerful than the previous explosion. Twenty times as high as the mallet, this is an explosive package. It will explode when it hits the ground. Soldiers within a radius of two feet will be blown to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses. The barbarian can launch two to three hundred packages at the king's division at one time. The king's master was completely unprepared and fell into the trap of the barbarian, so he suffered such a defeat!"
On the way back, Che Ke thought of a bunch of reasons, and after counting them in detail, this reason was the most appropriate. The master had never seen such an object, so he might be able to excuse it.
"...Oh? Have you all seen it before?"
Duduo put away his whip and asked about it sternly. The explosive mallet was scary enough, but unexpectedly another explosive package appeared. How big is this object?
"Master, this slave has seen it!"
"Master, this slave has seen it!"
"Master, Es Shuo died at the hands of this thing!"
All the generals said that they had seen this thing. This was not specifically to agree with Che Ke. It was indeed the case. Moreover, the Baya Lajia Lazhangjing Eshuo in Zhengbai Banner was killed on the spot. His superior, Ang Bangzhangjing Ashan, witnessed it with his own eyes. Witnessed.
"...E Shuo died in the battle?"
Duduo knew that Eshuo was one of the powerful men under his second brother, otherwise he would not have been used to lead Zhengbai Banner Baya La, who was one of the elites among the Eight Banners. Duduo was naturally shocked when he heard this.
"Master, this slave dare not lie!"
Not only was he defeated, but E Shuo was also defeated, Ashan had no choice but to admit it to Duduo. All the bad luck came together and he couldn't hide now.
"How much damage has been done to your head?"
In order to seek psychological comfort, Duduo had to ask Ashan about the loss of Zhengbai Banner. If the two sides were similar, it would feel better.
"Master, I have lost no less than 60% of my troops!"
Reporting to Duduo is like reporting to Dorgon. The two are brothers, but they are just divided into two banners. Ah Shan is already a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water.
"...It's actually so big?"
Duduo didn't understand how he could suffer such a huge defeat. Those were four flag soldiers. Could it be that they fought too many battles on the flat ground and wouldn't fight on the mountains?
"Master, when Master Wang was attacking the mountain, the dog barbarians kept projecting explosive packages. The total number was no more than one or two thousand, and all the slaves were completely unable to resist..."
Now that Che Ke had mentioned this reason, Ah Shan's mind was very good, so he chose to continue talking.
The explosive mallet has become an extremely feared weapon, so the explosive package also needs to be taken seriously.
"Call your troops and retreat!"
Duduo decided not to fight. If he continued to fight, he would lose even his last bit of capital.
Daishan is willing to use his two red flags to continue fighting, so let him play with the dog barbarian...
