The weather in spring is like a child's face, it is said to change, just now it is still sunny, the warm sunshine of spring March bathes the earth, and suddenly it is cloudy, and it rains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bahai raised his head and looked at the sky: "This damn spring rain, it won't come sooner or later, but it's coming at this time!" This is really the death of God! ”

If this spring rain comes a few days earlier, the firearms of the Wu army will be restricted, especially the mines and a swarm of rockets, which will not be able to exert so much power at all, in order to avoid a swarm of rockets being wet by the rain, the Wu army can only hide the fire box in the tent, so that it is impossible to ambush the Qing army; If the spring rain comes a few days later, the "road back to King Qin" of the Eight Banners cavalry will not be so difficult.

To describe the defeat of the army, it is called to lose the armor, why should the armor be discarded? Because I'm wearing armor and wearing a helmet, I'm slow to run. The armor that saves lives during the battle on weekdays becomes a burden when fleeing.

In the spring of March, the weather has warmed up, and the thick cotton armor is worn on the body, and the head is sweating profusely after running a few steps. Discarded the cotton armor, fled lightly, ran out of sweat, the Qing soldiers discarded more clothes, some simply stuffed sleeveless clothes into the package, and fled with the package on their backs, and the armor and weapons did not know where to lose them.

As a result, when this continuous rain came, the spring rain came with a spring cold that was not inferior to winter.

The Qing soldiers of the brigade stumbled north along the official road that had turned into muddy ground, the muddy ground was wet and slippery, and some people fell and fell into the muddy water after a few steps. The thin autumn clothes on their bodies were stained with water, and then they were blown by the cold wind, and some people didn't even have the strength to stand up, and they fell directly into the muddy water. The Eight Banners on horseback were not much better, in order to escape, the cotton armor that could keep them warm and resist the damage of the weapon had already been discarded by them, the rain fell on their bodies, and a gust of wind blew, and the Eight Banners soldiers shivered from the cold. Some horses stumbled and fell on the side of the road as they walked, and they could not get up again.

Along the way, there were dead corpses and horse corpses along the way, and the Qing soldiers who were seriously ill and couldn't walk could not walk, and the wounded lay in the mud wailing and struggling.

Bahai and his Goshha walked over, and several Eight Banners soldiers who had fallen in the dirt shouted desperately at them, reaching out their hands, as if to ask for help.

"Sir, help us!" A soldier of the Eight Banners, who had been seriously wounded in the leg, stretched out his hand covered in blood and mud, and his desperate eyes shone with a glimmer of hope, as if their commander could bring them back to the capital safely.

Bahai got off his horse and glanced at the Eight Banners, only to see that he had been stabbed in the leg by a spear, and there were knife wounds on his body, and the wounds that had long been purulent were exposed to the rain, and the wounds turned out, and the exposed muscles had been soaked white by the rain. Such a seriously injured person, even if he can return to the capital alive, will become a waste.

"Give him a good time!" Bahai turned his head away with tears in his eyes.

"Wow!" One Goshha pulled out his sword, raised his hand, and wiped the neck of the Eight Banners. This knife cut the artery and trachea together, and the Eight Banners soldier would no longer feel any pain, and slowly closed his eyes.

"It's miserable! Oh my God! Open your eyes! Please don't rain anymore! Bahai looked up to the sky and sighed.

The cold snap of spring came, and it continued to rain, and the Qing army was difficult, but the Wu army was not idle. Gao Dejie, the cavalry general of the Wu army, led 20,000 cavalry and followed the Qing army unhurriedly. Because of Gao Dejie's great victory, a large number of war horses were captured, and now the cavalry of the Wu army can already have one person and two horses.

However, it was rainy, the Qing army was difficult to walk, and the Wu cavalry was also not easy to walk, and most of the people who were caught up by Gao Dejie were sick and wounded who were lying in the mud wailing and struggling, and they could also pick up some Qing soldiers who were too tired to walk.

Those who were slightly injured, those who were slightly ill, and those who could not walk, were all captured by the Wu army. As for those who were seriously wounded and seriously ill, Gao Dejie did not have so much patience to contain them, and Wu Sangui did not have so much patience to save these people, so Gao Dejie's cavalry saw the seriously wounded and seriously ill, and solved their pain with a very merciful sword.

Bahai's infantry was basically lost, and all the artillery and heavy vehicles were abandoned, leaving only the Eight Banners cavalry and the Green Battalion Horse Team, which followed Bahai to retreat to the capital.

The rain was dripping non-stop, and in the wet grass, a few people wearing hats and robes came out, vigilantly observing the official road.

"Here comes the Tartars! Brethren, get ready! The first person saw the Qing army that appeared on the official road from the telescope, and whispered a few words to the pro-soldiers, asking the pro-soldiers to pass on the order.

In the grass, there are countless people wearing dumpling leaves and hats and wearing robes, these are the Wu army soldiers who have been ambushed here for many days! Each soldier of Wu also wears a rattan armor inside his coat, and the rattan armor wears a spring and autumn coat inside, and there is an outer layer of robes to block the rain, and the rattan armor and the clothes inside are dry, which plays a good role in keeping warm.

The Wu army had been working here for three days, and they blocked the only way for the Qing army to retreat to the capital.

The Qing army, which was defeated all the way, didn't care about sending scouts to explore the road, but just ran for their lives, and just ran headlong into the ambush circle of the Wu army.

When the Qing army entered the ambush circle, Wu Yingqi, who personally led the Qiyi soldiers, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Sons, kill the Qing dog!" ”

"Kill the dog!" Countless figures suddenly jumped out of the grass, and the soldiers took off their robes, took off their dumpling leaves, and exposed the rattan helmets and rattan armor inside, shouting loudly, brandishing axes, hook sickles, and Miao knives, like tigers out of the gate, and pounced towards the Qing army.

There were not many soldiers in ambush, only more than 3,000 people, but they waited for work at ease, and their morale was high; On the other hand, the Qing army was already sleepy and demoralized.

"Grown, go!" Several loyal Goshkha shouted.

Bahai whipped the horse's buttocks, turned the horse's head, and fled down a path. Goshha and the rest of the Eight Banners also drew their swords one after another and bravely pounced on the soldiers. Although the Eight Banners were cavalry, their horses could no longer sprint, and all the Eight Banners were used as infantry at this time.

The soldiers slaughtered into the crowd of the Qing army, chopping with axes, stabbing and pulling back with hooks and sickles, and cutting off the heads of Qing soldiers with sharp swords. The Qing soldiers who collided head-on with the Qiqi soldiers could not support them even for a round, and they were cut down in a large area.

The Qing army was defeated, and Bahai took the remaining Qing army generals and a group of Goshkha to flee on a small road in a panic. The defeated Qing army ran wild all day, and when it was dark, the rain finally stopped.

"The rain has stopped, go chop some firewood! His clothes were soaked, and the brothers were roasting on the fire. Bahai said.

As soon as the bonfire was lit, a shout of killing was heard in the darkness not far away.
