Chapter 81: Xiangyang and Nanjing Twenty-two

The Qing army's counterattack was like a mud cow entering the sea, which seemed to be huge, but in the silence, it seemed to dissipate.

Such a formation was unexpected, and after the Qing army's onslaught, it immediately fell into a quagmire. However, most of the Qing troops at this time were good at hand-to-hand combat, and they didn't know what to do if they didn't get caught in a melee. was entangled by the foot soldiers, but it aroused their ferocity, and they fought for their lives one by one, disturbing the situation of the entire Xia army.

As the so-called trapped beast fights, it is also.

Although the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army counterattacked and paid a great price, and even this price was not what they wanted to pay, but their purpose of fighting was achieved. That is to relieve the positive pressure of the ancestral family.

The soldiers who were harassed on the back road and were fighting with their ancestors across the car array inevitably felt a sense of weakness and uneasiness in their hearts. And when fighting, this feeling of weakness and anxiety will be greatly magnified.

Man has always been a herd animal, and a person may be calm, but a group of people together can rarely maintain their sanity.

This uneasiness is immediately reflected in the battle, that is, sluggishness, hesitation.

Zu Runze immediately grasped this point, shouted, and slammed it up with his own soldiers, saying, "Kill." ”

Zu Runze was born in Jiangmen, how his own martial arts are, is another matter, but the guards around him are ruthless characters. When he was fighting with the Qing army, Wu Xiang was captured, and Wu Sangui took his family and rushed into the Qing army array to save his father.

This has achieved the reputation of Wu Sangui, filial piety and bravery.

And the Wu family is essentially a businessman, they can have such a family, it all depends on the support of their uncle's family, and who is Wu Sangui's uncle's family? It's the ancestral family.

If in a few years, the ancestors who fought with the Qing army at the beginning are gone, maybe the fighting power of the ancestral family will not be so strong, but now the ancestors are moist and inherit the shadow of their fathers and ancestors, and the strength of the families around them may not be lost to Wu Sangui's personal soldiers.

Zu Runze attacked in a big way, and immediately frustrated the Xia army's position.

Although Xu Du fought a war, he had a ruthless taste. But he is the wisest person, knowing that the rear is uncertain, the front attack is naturally weak, and the Qing army's one or two thousand cavalry fell into his calculations, and now they have been trapped.

It was the time to annihilate in one fell swoop. Everything else has to be put to rest.

Unwritten rules in the army.

Among the various armies of the Qing army, the army conscripted on the spot, the local garrison army, the former Ming army that surrendered to the Qing court, or the former Xia army. The head level is the least valuable. The head of the Qin army in Shaanxi should be one level higher, and the heads of the Liaodong people and the Mongols should be one level higher.

And the highest is the head of the Manchu Eight Banner Army.

If in

If you divide it among the eight banners of the Manchu Dynasty, it is the so-called red belt, and the yellow belt is the most valuable.

The red belt is surnamed Aixin Jueluo and not the descendants of the old slave, while the yellow ribbon is surnamed Aixin Jueluo, but it is still the descendant of the old slave.

Even if a small soldier can kill a red belt or a yellow belt, he will be immediately promoted by several ranks.

And the cavalry that came out of the side was the soldiers of the Eight Banners. As long as these two thousand people can be swallowed, the merit is greater than that of the army of the ancestors. Whether it is the need of reality or the temptation of merit, Xu has made a choice.

However, in this era, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were first-class and strong, even though Xu Du was surrounded in all directions, and all kinds of firearms bombarded constantly, even if they were not stingy and accidentally injured. However, the cavalry of the Qing army, even if it was divided, still resisted stubbornly, and each of them was less than three or three, or more than tens, hundreds, and gathered together without military orders and insisted on fighting.

Due to the organizational form of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many people were related to each other. If you look at the documents of the Qing court, you will know that they never say that it is that person is in a certain banner, but that family is in a certain banner, which is very revealing.

Therefore, fathers, sons and brothers are in one banner, and there are not a few, even if the Jinhua army is flesh and blood, and the Qing cavalry is forcibly divided. But they still have things that are inseparable, just like fighting tiger brothers and fathers and sons.

And that's not all.

The Manchu regime may be sorry for many people, but it can be said to be generous to the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

The Qing court enclosed a lot of land in the Guannai, and I don't know how many Han people were killed, but who was the direct beneficiary? It's them, the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

And the Eight Banners are the father's death and the son's replacement. Their life and death are not only related to them alone, but also to the family behind them. Therefore, anyone who has a little blood will choose to fight to the end. And the Eight Banners at this moment are not those soft persimmons in later generations.

Instead, he was killed from the white mountains and black waters, and I don't know how many battles I have fought. If there is no blood, where can we get to this point.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to expect them to surrender.

Xu Du does not have such delusions.

Xu Du's hatred of the Eight Banners is also a new hatred and an old hatred. The new hatred is Zhang Xuan's hatred, Linying, Runing's slaughter, a little farther away, but Nanjing is still bloodstained. Not to mention, the Zhejiang army, which had no surrender in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River back then, is also connected with the Jinhua army today.

Many fathers and grandfathers died in the Hunhe River.

Zhang Xuan had already ordered that all the Eight Banner Army that participated in the invasion of Linying and the massacre of Runing would never be surrendered.

And Xu Du's order, which quietly changed the restrictive conditions, became: The Eight Banners Army will never be surrendered.

Therefore, no matter how many people died, the Jinhua army was only a dull fight, and there was not even a slogan of "surrender or kill".

Zu Runze saw that the Jinhua army had retreated, and before he had time to take a breath, he saw a person rushing over, grabbed Zu Runze's collar, and said, "Quick, give me an attack, and rescue my men who are in the blue flag." ”

When Zu Runze saw it, this person was dressed up, wearing exquisite armor, shining. In addition, a red belt around his waist is particularly conspicuous, although he is not very old, he seems to be in his early twenties. But I also know that this person, for example, is surnamed Aixin Jueluo. immediately knew that he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Master, it's not that the slave can't save him when he sees death, but that the slave really doesn't know what to do." ”

"Master, please see, the sons and daughters really don't have the strength."

Zu Runze's words were full of crying, but what he said was not a lie.

A rudimentary car formation has been rushed through several gaps by the impact just now, and each gap is the center of gravity of the fight. The corpses were layered on top of each other, including the Qing army and the Xia army.

As for Zu Runze's department, most of the soldiers sat down against the vehicle, gasping loudly. Seems out of breath. Some people lay with the corpse, as if they were also corpses, and they didn't want to move at all, but just held the long knife in their hands, looking ready to fight at any time.

This is still intact and maintaining combat strength, in addition, there are a large number of soldiers who are injured and covered in blood, I don't know if it is their own blood or someone else's blood. Others were placed on the ground, groaning and moaning.

It's just that at this point, all you can do is moan.

In an era when the treatment conditions are so low, all that remains is to see if their own lives are hard, whether they can snatch a small life from Hades.

The ancestral army, the vitality is greatly damaged, it is already a sure fact.

At this time, they really didn't take the initiative to attack, defeat the strong with the weak, and rescue the strength of the trapped Eight Banners Army.

The red ribbon said angrily: "No, you minions are all dead, and you must be rescued." ”

Zu Zerun's face suddenly turned a little cold, he slowly broke the hand of the red belt, and said, "This master, pay attention to what you say." I waited for the order of Prince Zheng, and I was here to defend it, and I wanted to save it and bring Prince Zheng's military order. ”

Although the red belt is noble, it is only a distant clan. That is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not long after its founding, and the bloodline was still close. Zu Zerun just has some respect for this red belt. The real leading general in the army, Zu Runze knows everyone, even if he doesn't know him, he can be familiar with each other. I have never seen this red belt, so you can see what the status of this red belt is.

A few points of politeness are to give face. Who knew he would really kick his nose in the face.

These words made the red ribbon speechless, and he hurried east angrily, naturally to complain to Prince Zheng.
