"If you don't retreat if you grow and ten people retreat together, you can kill ten people if you grow stronger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you don't retreat and your subordinates retreat together, you will kill all of them. Niu Lu Zhang Jing did not retreat and Niu Lu retreated at the same time, and all the officials who had to be allocated to Shiku and Zhuang Zhuang were killed. Jia Lazhang Jing does not retreat and one Jia Lazhang retreats together, then kill all the following officials! If the first Jia Latong retreats, he will kill all the officials below Jia Lazhangjing! Confiscation of everyone's wealth! All family members are slaves! Recently, all the armies, battalions and towns of Toushun will be implemented with reference! Which town is not effective in combat, retreats from the battle, kills all the officers, and the soldiers are incorporated into other battalions and towns! The property of the officers' families will be confiscated as slaves! ”

Cao Zhenyan once again sacrificed the sharp weapon of the Lian Sitting. With the most cruel military discipline and the most severe punishment, the morale of the general was inspired.

The new annex army was the lead, and the eight banners were the rear team, and they continued to attack Pingyuan Town in waves. The execution of military discipline just now has frightened those former Ming army troops who have not completely shaved their heads. It turns out that there is such a thing as military discipline in this world! It's not that everyone retreats together to disobey the public! It turns out that it's really murderous?! It's really going to die a terrible death! It turned out that not only did he die, but even the money in his wife and children's family was implicated because of his ineffective fighting.

What else can be said about this?! Let's fight to the death!

As a result, the pressure on the Taiwan infantry regiment has suddenly increased several times!

In fact, for Cao Zhenyan's move, the Taiwan infantry regiment also guessed seven or eight points. It's just that it's useless to guess, the infantry regiment is too small to launch a powerful attack, so it can only tinker with the original position.

However, most of the soldiers thought about it very well, and their officers told them during their rest: "Brothers, what is the death of a man, it is nothing more than the soul going to the ancestors. In our life, we have already made money, before our lord came to Taiwan, who knew that we would be able to live a good life in the future? Even if he dies now, he is much stronger than our fathers. When we meet our ancestors, we can proudly tell them that because of our efforts, our families and descendants will live the life that our ancestors have always wanted in their dreams! ”

The fierce fighting lasted from morning to afternoon, and the Taiwanese infantry regiment broke through the shield car defense line several times and was pushed back several times.

Around the shield car, there are corpses of Taiwanese soldiers and Qing soldiers everywhere, if you just look at the number, it is obvious that the Eastern soldiers have the advantage. It is a pity that what the Eastern Fan soldiers are powerless to change is the fact that there are more and more Qing troops and the shield car defense line is becoming more and more stable. With the dancing flames, the Taiwan soldiers can clearly see that the officers and men who are still wearing the color of Daming uniforms are nervously digging fortifications, building artillery emplacements, and rushing to transport ammunition behind the wreckage of the shield car.

"Acquaintances, hurry up and throw out the knives and guns and surrender! Otherwise, when we rush in, it's too late to surrender! Several of the new annex officers shouted behind the shield cart. Behind them, thousands of soldiers and civilians were filling in the ravines and demolishing the fortifications such as deer barricades and bunkers. Open the way for the offensive that follows.

On the other hand, looking at the side of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment, the situation is very serious. Those who can pick up swords and guns to fight are less than 1,000 people in the whole regiment. There are still a lot of firearms, but there is not much ammunition, "save the fight, at most two or three days." "That's the number that Weilu counted. As for the melee weapon grenades, there were only five or six hundred of them in the whole regiment.

Just when the Taiwanese infantry regiment was considering whether to attack and seize the shield car defense line again or shrink the defense, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed from the east of their plain town, that is, the rear of the Nanyue army.

These people are all dressed in Qing army-style armor and clothing, not only wearing lightning rod-style helmets on their heads, but also easily recognizable from their facial features, they are authentic Manchurians, and a few of them are probably running hot, and they even took off the iron helmets on their heads, revealing their money rat tail braids.

Lightning rod helmet, Yellow Flag Manchuria or Yellow Flag Manchuria, mixed with several blue flag Manchurian armor styles, typical Manchurian appearance, standard money rat tail braids, which made the new annexes who were preparing to launch a new offensive a little timid. The new minions saw the standard Manchurian masters, and naturally did not dare to make mistakes.

This group of cavalry, they rode their horses around the position of the Nanyue Army and ran back and forth with the Qing army, which looked like a bad plot. In the face of such a situation, the Taiwan infantry regiment was completely desperate, it was already very difficult to withstand the front, and now it is like this again, it seems that today is really the day to see their ancestors?

Behind the position of the Qing army, Cao Zhenyan and Cao Eryu, father and son, who were surrounded by dozens of generals and stars, were also very surprised by this Eight Banners Manchurian cavalry that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Not to mention anything else, just wearing the banner of the two yellow flags and wearing the armor and uniform color of the two yellow flags, this made the Cao family father and son feel weak for a while.

Don't look at the current Cao Zhenyan is also the title of Baylor, but, in the final analysis, he is a clothed slave under Dolgon, and when he saw the two yellow flag soldiers and horses, he was weak from the bottom of his heart!

"Did these guys fall from the sky, or did they come out of the ground?!"

I asked a few generals who were responsible for the guard and patrol tasks on the rear road, but they didn't get the information that the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers and horses came from the direction of the Beijing Division, which couldn't help but make Cao Zhenyan and his son very surprised!

Equally astonished was the Taiwanese Infantry Regiment.

These cavalrymen galloped back and forth in the formation, showing off their skilled horsemanship, intentionally or unintentionally, compressing the formation of the Qing army a lot and widening the distance from the Taiwanese infantry regiment.

"What do these guys want to do?" Zhuge Leopard and Wei Lu couldn't understand what this cavalry was going to do, saying that they were enemies, but they never fired an arrow at their own position, but instead compressed the Qing army's offensive preparation formation. However, if they say that they are their own people, they will not believe it if they kill Zhuge Leopard and Wei Lu. The hundreds of cavalry in front of him are clearly the standard Eight Banners Manchurian cavalry!

Soon, even more surprising circumstances appeared! I saw these two Yellow Banner Manchurian cavalry of unknown origin galloping back and forth on the Qing army's position, showing off their equestrian skills, showing off their fat and fat horses with shiny hair, and after greeting the Qing troops of various departments, they slowly took out a few fireworks from the armor on their chests.

Then, several fireworks burst into the air.

As the fireworks exploded in mid-air, the Qing army's shield car phalanx pressed over like a moving city wall, and it was about to completely engulf the Taiwanese infantry regiment.

In the face of the vigorous Qing army, the soldiers of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment looked relieved, they stood up one after another, and sang the familiar song again, just like children singing to their parents.

However, the sound of the cannon interrupted their singing very inconspicuously, and with the roar of the cannon, the severed limbs of people and fragments of various instruments flew everywhere. However, gradually, the Taiwanese infantry felt that something was wrong, was this script wrong, why did the Qing army fire artillery on the other side, and it was all their own family members? Also, the shells don't seem to be in the right direction, as if they were being fired from the rear of our positions.

Is it because you didn't aim well? However, soon sharp-eyed people discovered the reason, and they shouted excitedly: "It's our hussars, it's Zuo Wuwei's artillery team, and Staff Officer Fan sent someone to save us!" ”

Sure enough, as the shells continued to splash ripples of flesh and blood on the Qing army's position, the hundreds of cavalry immediately put away the two yellow flags and Manchurian soldiers and horses flags in their hands, and replaced them with the red and black battle flags of the Nanyue Army!

"Lao Tzu is Tuha!"

"Lao Tzu is Ekui! Silly leopard, open the door and let Lao Tzu in! ”

As Ekui's broken gong voice shouted Zhuge Leopard's nickname in front of the battle, there was a sudden jubilation on the battlefield, sweeping away the tragedy of preparing for righteousness just now. To be honest, everyone wants to choose between life and death, but many times they don't have a choice. As the situation became clear, the Taiwanese soldiers also began to look at the Qing army in front of them with the mentality of watching the battle. Because they know that since Zuo Wuwei's cannon is in place, all that remains is to watch how Comrade Cannon God educated these Qing soldiers to behave.

And Zuo Wuwei did not disappoint them, the dense artillery swept the Qing army like a raging storm, and soon beat them like rats and fled. It's not that Cao Zhenyan's army can't do it, but it didn't originally consider that the opponent would have strong artillery reinforcements, so a dense formation was adopted, hoping to drown out the resistance of the Taiwanese soldiers with crowds. Today, this dense team forms the best target. However, if they are scattered, it is easy for the troops to disperse in a hurry. In that case, it will be used by Cao Zhenyan and Cao Baylor to clean up military discipline! But if they don't disperse, they will be shot here by artillery fire, and in a short moment, the generals with the troops have made a decision, withdraw!

Seeing that the fire is almost over, if you don't rush out at this time, take advantage of your illness and kill you, then the officers of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment can die! Without waiting for Zhuge Leopard and Wei Lu to give orders, the officers of the infantry regiment had already shouted in unison, "The whole army is on bayonets and assaults in the direction of reinforcements!" ”

With an order, more than 1,000 infantrymen wrapped the white cloth that could no longer see its color around their heads, picked up the bayonets that had almost been bent these days, and then rushed to the direction of reinforcements with explosive shouts of killing.

In this way, the Qing army was tragic.

With Cao Zhenyan's military discipline in place, all units of the Qing army naturally put up fierce resistance. But it's a pity that the fortifications they originally used for attack, if they were used for defense, would be a line of defense that was so thin that it would not be as thin as words, where could it withstand the decisive assault of the Taiwanese soldiers?

What's more, that damn Zuo Wuwei didn't give them a chance, every time they had a movement to assemble, the shells would come as promised. Even acting for the tiger, closely following the offensive momentum of the Taiwan soldiers, the flag of the Taiwan Corps appeared there, and it became the object of the artillery under the command of Zuo Wuwei!

Even more odious than the artillery were the hussars of the Southern Barbarians, a gang of bastards from Liaodong who were very good at infiltrating positions and cutting through the cracks. In the already panicked and abnormal Qing army situation, the brigade created rumors and chaos, which made those Qing soldiers even more panicked. After that, he took advantage of the chaos to disrupt the Qing army, divide and surround it, and eliminate it. For the small Qing army, these top eight Manchurian officers and soldiers who were well versed in the tactics of the Qing army drove them to attack the Qing army. Let the rearguard of the Qing army become the vanguard of the Nanyue army!

After annihilating the Qing troops on the periphery, Zuo Wuwei ordered the artillery to fire blocking the Qing troops who rushed to support, while the hussars attacked its flanks.

The two sides fought fiercely again, but Cao Zhenyan finally accepted the fact that the Qing army that surrounded the Taiwan infantry regiment was completely annihilated, and in the face of the Nanyue army, which had already joined the division, it was undoubtedly dangerous to continue the attack.

Therefore, Cao Zhenyan ordered the offensive to be stopped before sunset, and the whole army moved to building fortifications for defense, and the siege of the Taiwanese infantry regiment was a complete failure.

The angry Cao Zhenyan almost vomited blood and fell to the ground, he couldn't understand it anyway, how could the Nanyue army come back so quickly, most of the large and small towns along the way were already controlled by Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian, or the militia private soldiers organized by those officials and gentry, if the brigade of people and horses came, it was bound to go through a series of bloody battles, and it was impossible that there would be no news at all, could they really not fly?

In the end, under the blow of three forces, the Qing army that was sandwiched between the three was completely annihilated. In fact, not only Cao Zhenyan has this question, but also the Taiwan Infantry Regiment.

After the meeting, Zhuge Leopard, Wei Lu and others hurriedly thanked the reinforcements, however, there were familiar faces in the reinforcements, such as Zuo Wuwei, but there were also less familiar faces. For example, the reinforcements of the hussars, the real leader is not Tuha Okui and others, and even the person who leads the team is not from the so-called Tartar Liaodong, but a young man in his twenties.

After being introduced by Zuo Wuwei, the people of the Taiwan Infantry Regiment learned that this young man's name was Xu Tai'an, who was Xu Yuansong's cousin, and later entered the Nanzhong Military Academy because of Xu Yuansong's recommendation. Later, he worked under Xu Yuansong, and this time, Xu Yuansong gave him the task of support for reasons that everyone understands.

However, Xu Yuansong did not give him any elite troops, but gave him some old and weak cavalry with combat experience in the two yellow banners of Shandong Farm, in order to allow him to command flexibly, and at the same time, it was also to give face to the Tuha and Ekui who were crying for battle, so that these two guys served as the main and deputy commanders of this cottage hussar. In addition to commanding the hussars, the two were also responsible for liaising with the Taiwan infantry regiment to confirm their identities so as not to be accidentally injured by friendly troops.

In addition, he also explained to him a method that could smoothly pass through the defense area of Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian's department, and it was by virtue of this method that Xu Tai'an easily passed through the rebel defense area with a group of alternate cavalry with average combat ability.

As for what it is, it's not worth a penny. Xu Yuansong has not been idle these days, he has been taking the household registration book and the roster of rebel generals to analyze, and in the end, he suddenly found a problem, it turned out that the families of many rebel generals lived in Dengzhou. (A certain public knowledge: Xu Yuansong, you shameless guy, obviously premeditated, what did you say and suddenly found out.) Xu Yuansong: Do you have any comments? Although Zhang Linghu's rebellion was successful, the morale of the army was not stable enough, and the confidence in victory was not enough, and the officers among them were all rich people, where did the rich people like to live at that time? In addition to Jinan, isn't it Denglai...

After discovering this, Xu Yuansong ordered several large pits to be dug outside the city, and then invited these people to come and visit. Of course, it may be that the military discipline is not strict, and it is obvious that they are invited, but when these people arrive at the place, they have a little color on their faces. Xu Yuansong may also have poor eyes, so he didn't see it. He greeted these people with a smile, and then enthusiastically introduced how deep the pits were, and kindly told them how many people could be buried in these pits.

Xu Yuansong has always kept smiling, it stands to reason that Xu Yuansong's image is very good, his face is white and yellowish, he is tall, and he is dressed in scholarly casual clothes, whether it is a man or a woman, this is a good appearance that people envy. But those who are familiar with him know that under this good skin, there is a good power that can open the bow left and right and a heart eye that is black to the end. And among the people who visited Dakeng, there were many people who also knew this, so the more Xu Yuansong smiled, the more frightened they became. Maybe it was Xu Yuansong's enthusiasm that moved them, these people, men and women, young and old, were crying and crying, some even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and some people were hoarse and said that they must be loyal to the imperial army, uh, wrong, they are loyal to Liang Guogong and Daming, and they definitely have nothing to do with those thieves. As soon as he returned, he drove these traitors out of the ancestral hall, and from then on they were no longer their own descendants.

Finally, Xu Yuansong seemed to have seen enough of their performances, and he spoke: "Everyone, why bother, I just asked you to watch a pit, why are you so excited." Of course, the pit can't be seen in vain, and I still have something to ask of you. You are all related to the rebels, and you can't do anything else, but I believe it is always possible to write a letter to persuade them to change their ways. Of course, this is voluntary, and I will not force it. ”

Not forced? Everyone looked at each other, "Your sister, we all have to go into the pit if you believe you." So everyone present gave full play to their talents, what scolding persuasion, righteous persuasion, family persuasion, and even threatening persuasion. Some people wrote about today's pomp and circumstance vividly, telling their relatives and nephews who were rebel officers to surrender quickly, or sooner or later you will have to experience this big pit.

After they were all finished, Xu Yuansong was satisfied with the classification of the letter and handed it to Xu Tai'an, and then mysteriously handed him a large paper bag. Xu Taian was puzzled, so he asked what it was? Xu Yuansong replied: "What the fifth uncle gave you is still useless?" This is a temporary exchange ticket issued by Longsheng, as long as you hold these exchange tickets, you can go to Longsheng to exchange silver dollars. You give the letters and the exchange tickets to the rebel officers at the same time, and let them choose for themselves. Is it to ask for money and protect the lives of relatives and families, or to have no money and these people to go into mass graves. ”

Xu Tai'an smiled knowingly and said, "Fifth uncle, of course it is to choose money and the lives of the family." But Uncle Five, what if these calves take the money and don't do anything? ”
