Chapter 237: The Battle of Xuzhou City (3)

"Boom!"

After Ji Feng and Ao Bai fought fiercely for a pillar of incense, the steel knife almost came out of his hand, his hands were numb from the shock, and he almost lost consciousness.

As the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai killed a wolf at the age of eight and a tiger at the age of twelve, and his bravery was abnormal, even if he had not completely recovered from his last injury, he was still not Ji Feng's ability to match.

"Don't play with you brute anymore!" Seeing Ao Bai coming again, Ji Feng's complexion changed, and after rolling on the ground, he escaped into the army, no longer entangled with Ao Bai.

"Where to go!" Ao Bai was furious, and rode his horse after him.

It's just a pity that this is a battlefield, and before Ao Bai could catch up a few steps, a soldier of the Ying Long Army came to stop him, and soon Ji Feng's figure disappeared in front of his eyes.

"Damn! I won't let you go! Ao Bai gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, and the steel knife in his hand slashed left and right, killing and wounding the two Ying Long soldiers in an instant.

The Qing army's offensive of the Eight Banners was extremely fierce, but the Ming army was equally tenacious, and the two sides fought fiercely and fought repeatedly.

In this dark rainy night, the rain washed the blood on the ground, and the entire city of Xuzhou was dyed red, and after an hour, the water of the moat of Xuzhou turned red, and it looked extremely mad in a lightning bolt from time to time!

"Newspaper"

"Qiyu Regent, the Ming army is tenacious, and the Eight Banners have 15,000 casualties!"

Dolgon's complexion changed slightly.

"Newspaper"

"Qiyu Regent, the Eight Banners have more than 20,000 casualties!"

Dolgon looked at the almost impossible to push the further front, his hand shook suddenly, his pupils contracted, the tenacity of the Ming army was beyond his expectations, but in just three hours, the Eight Banners suffered more than 20,000 casualties!

"Regent, there are too many casualties in the Eight Banners, let's withdraw quickly!" Toryue pleaded with Dolgon.

Not only Dolgon, all the generals of the Manchus are heartbroken, you must know that the number of the Manchu Eight Banners is limited, and if one dies, there will be one less, and it is difficult to replenish, and the Manchu Eight Banners are the core of Manchu rule, if it is weakened to a certain extent, let alone ruling the world for thousands of miles, I am afraid that even the Mongols on the steppe will not be able to deter.

"Order, all the eight banners are withdrawn to rest, and let the Han Banner Army and the Mongols go up!" Dolgon's face was gloomy and he gave the order!

The life of every Manchurian soldier of the Eight Banners is more important than hundreds of Mongols or Han Banner soldiers in the eyes of all Manchu generals, including Dolgon, hundreds of thousands of Han Banner troops and 200,000 Mongols are dead, Dolgon and other Manchu generals can not even blink their eyes, but as long as the soldiers of the Eight Banners die one or two thousand, their hearts can bleed!

With Dolgon's order, all the Eight Banners retreated, and the Han Banner Army and the Mongols were immediately on the front line.

"Hmph, these traitors and lackeys!" Zhang Kuishan spat on the ground fiercely, and led the people of the Fifth Army to counterattack fiercely, and instantly recaptured the distance of more than 100 meters that had just been advanced by the Manchu Eight Banners, and defeated the Han Banner Army and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry on the opposite side.

Originally, the Eight Banners were on the front line, and they could still repel the Ying Long Army and other Ming troops from time to time, compressing the living space of the Ming Army, and killing the Ying Long Army with great losses. It's just that as soon as the people are replaced now, the offensive of the Qing army will be greatly reduced in an instant.

There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Han Banner Army and the Mongols is more than one grade worse than that of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the white blade of the Ying Long Army is only suppressed, and due to the stimulation of the fighting spirit, even the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Ming Army is much stronger than that of the Han Banner Army.

"These incompetents!" A Qing army general looked at the retreating Han Banner Army and the Mongols, and immediately scolded.

"I beg the regent to let the Eight Banners go up again, and I will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and capture the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop!" A group of generals with eight banners haven't fought enough, and they were withdrawn for no reason, which made them very dissatisfied, and they wanted to fight with the Ying Long army again!

"No need, according to the attrition method just now, even if the Ming army is defeated, there are not many people left in the Eight Banners, and the gains outweigh the losses. You only need to order the soldiers of the Eight Banners to press the formation in the rear, and urge the Han Banner Army and the Mongols to consume the strength of the Ming Army, and when the Ming Army is tired, the Eight Banners can go up again, and they will be able to succeed in one fell swoop! "There are hundreds of thousands of horse pawns such as the Han Banner Army and the Mongols, and Dolgon naturally has to make good use of it, after all, the Eight Banners really can't withstand the consumption like just now.

"Wow!" Since Dolgon said so, no one in the Eight Banners questioned Dolgon's words.

The last remaining 50,000 people of the Manchu Eight Banners all watched the battle in the rear, acting as a supervising team, constantly urging the Han Banner Army and the Mongols to attack in the back.

Although the combat power of the Han Banner Army is much worse than that of the Eight Banners, it is endless.

Ying Longjun and other hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were encouraged by Zhu Cihong, and they had the belief that they would not die as slaves in their hearts, and every soldier was extremely tenacious.

To the southeast, the 20,000 Han Banner Army was defeated by more than 10,000 Ying Long troops and retreated.

"Don't quit! Whoever dares to retreat again, this is the end! Poof" A Qing Manchu man on a war horse slashed a retreating Han Banner soldier with a sword, and shouted angrily at the others, forcing them to rush forward again to consume the Ming army's combat power.

The defeated soldiers of the Han Banner Army were immediately frightened by the ferocity of the Manchurians, and had to rush forward again to fight fiercely with the Ming army.

"Phew! These sons of bitches raised them, this is for us to die! Some soldiers of the Han Banner Army secretly cursed in their hearts, although they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Manchus, but many people disobeyed the yin and did not try their best at all, and were constantly defeated and retreated by the Ming army, not only did not further compress the living space of the surrounded Ming army, but let the Ming army expand the living space a lot at once.

Dolgon's face was pale, and he called Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and other Han Banner Army princes, and scolded them, threatening them to withdraw their princes if they could not defeat the Ming army!

In order to keep his title, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others had to go to the front line to command.

"A couple of dog traitors!" As soon as Yan Yingyuan and the others saw the clothes on Shang Kexi and the others, they could judge their identities, and immediately gritted their teeth, eager to kill them in front of them and tear them apart!

"Commander Yan, how about we take down the head of a dog traitor and give it to Your Majesty!" Zhou Cao, the commander of the Second Army, stared at a figure that was faintly visible in the Qing soldier camp in front of him and said to Yan Yingyuan.

"Good!" Yan Yingyuan nodded, and together with Zhou Cao, his eyes showed a thick murderous intent.

The figure that Yan Yingyuan and Zhou Cao saw wearing the costume of the Manchu Han Banner Army was actually Geng Jingzhong, at this moment, Geng Jingzhong was constantly urging the Han Banner Army under his command to attack, and he didn't know that there were already two evil stars in the Ming army on the opposite side like death, and they were planning how to kill him!
