Chapter 463: A Road to the Dark
Kong Youde's God-blessed army, the biggest problem is that there is not enough labor.
Houjin is slavery, and those who farm the land are either coated or rolled up their sleeves when the landlord rolls up.
And they are the new annexes, Huang Taiji, who is their biggest supporter, is also dead, and everyone else is busy fighting for power.
Except for Yue Tuo, who habitually followed Huang Taiji's train of thought to do things and helped them, no other person from the Later Jin Eight Banners would pay attention to their newly attached Han army.
In this way, how could there be clothed minions to help them work, and the soldiers could only farm their own fields to support themselves.
So for training, they can only practice for half a decade. Even this frequency is already their limit, and any more, it will provoke a mutiny.
For a period of time before this, Kong Youde's greatest hope was to go out to fight grass valleys with the troops who went out to rob, so as to catch enough aha and clothing to free the soldiers from the heavy work in the fields.
But this kind of desire, even Duoduo and Yue Tuo, who are Jurchens and are also the banner masters, have not been able to win it, how can he, a newly attached Han army commander, grab the qualification.
Naturally, this time Dolgon went on an expedition, and he was left behind in Gaizhou for a leisurely meal. The level of training of his troops can be imagined. Therefore, Kong Youde really doesn't want to fight.
However, as a new Han army that needed Yue Tuo's help to supply even food, and its status was extremely low, and it could be divided among the other Eight Banner Baylor ministers as servants at any time, how could he dare to disobey Yue Tuo, the only Jurchen Baylor who still cared about them.
Li Jiucheng on the other side, the entanglement in his heart is no less than Yue Tuo.
In Li Jiucheng's heart, Chen Xin is his Li Jiucheng's great enemy.
He Li Jiucheng escaped from Shandong with his son, but just as they were about to set foot on the land of Houjin and ask Huang Taiji to surrender, they were raided by the navy sent by Chen Xin and the so-called marines.
At that time, when his island was conquered by the Huaxia Marine Corps, Li Jiucheng was on a sea ship that set sail, and he saw the location of his son's flag being hit by a cannonball and turned into ruins.
After escaping from the island that night, he still had a one-ten-thousandth expectation in his heart, expecting that his son, who had been passed down from the lineage, would join him in Houjin.
As a result, until a month later, he did not see his son, and in the end, he learned from several veterans who fled to Houjin that his precious son died in that battle.
The corpse was also specially taken out by the Huaxia Army, and a group of veterans and officers in Dongjiang Town were allowed to carry out identification related work.
This time, Li Jiucheng strongly asked to follow Kong Youde to Fuzhou together, hoping to borrow the hands of the Jurchen Eight Banners to take revenge.
Li Jiucheng has absolute confidence in the strength of the Eight Banners, and he really listened to the legend that the Eight Banners were invincible.
Although the Huaxia Army is very difficult to mess with, this is Liaodong, which is the home of the Eight Banners, and Li Jiucheng has strong confidence in this revenge.
If you can meet Chen Xin and kill him on the spot, so that he can take a good breath, it will naturally be the best.
Even if Chen Xin didn't come, it didn't matter, he had already heard that the Huaxia Army was weak and underpopulated, and every soldier was a very valuable asset. It would also be good if it could annihilate thousands of soldiers of the Huaxia Army.
However, he never expected that as soon as he led the team to the battlefield, he saw the scene of the white flag being defeated and defeated.
It stands to reason that he and the Huaxia Army have a murderous feud, and he should immediately fight with these Huaxia Army in front of him when they meet.
However, at this time, Li Jiucheng's heart was very reluctant to lead people to attack.
He knew very well that if Yue Tuoken went all out to attack with all his men.
Then their Tianyou Army and another Wuzhen Chaoha, together with more than 3,000 horses, plus more than 1,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners, rushed up, and there was no problem in breaking through the infantry array of the Huaxia Army.
However, now, without the bow and arrow close-range shooting of the Eight Banners, and the flank cover of 1,000 Eight Banner cavalry, he, as an officer of the Han Army who fought with the Huaxia Army, really did not have the slightest confidence in the combat effectiveness of his subordinates.
What's more, he knows very well that the people under him are all defeated generals of the Huaxia Army.
When they were co-opting the original Mao Wenlong's old department in Dongjiang Town, they were chased by the Huaxia Army like a lost dog, and they couldn't live in fear, and the fear formed by the continuous pursuit and killing for many days was not so easy to be eliminated.
Now it seems that although his subordinates are still in a line and the military appearance is not bad, he knows that once he hands over the Huaxia army, he can't help but know what everything looks like, and he can't say it at all.
Kong Youde was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it again, he slowly said, "Lord Belle has already given the order, even if we don't want to fight, it won't be possible."
Fortunately, the cavalry on the opposite side will be taken care of by the cavalry of the Eight Banners, and all we are facing are Chinese infantry, even if we can't beat them, we won't all die.
You go to the left to press the formation, I take the Chinese army, let's get ready! ”
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the words of Li Jiucheng and the other officers, and returned to the rear of the battle without looking back.
Li Jiucheng also scolded in a low voice over there, and he didn't know if he was scolding Yue Tuo or Kong Youde.
However, he also knew that if he wanted to continue to live well in Houjin, the military order would never be able to be disobeyed, so after just scolding, he stopped his mouth and rode his horse to the left.
Yue Tuo brought the dozens of vests under him, and consciously rode his horse behind the array of Tianyou Army and Wuzhen Chaoha, and took on the role of supervising the team, which was the habit of Houjin when he was fighting, and Kong Youde and others were not surprised.
However, what made them feel a little uncomfortable was that there were actually more than a dozen cavalrymen, who were concentrated near Kong Youde's general banner.
The implication of surveillance is really very obvious, and it is simply a naked distrust.
Kong Youde was very aggrieved in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent, because, since he decided to rebel and take refuge in Houjin, he could never turn back.
The current Kong Youde, of course, Li Jiucheng and other officers of the Tianyou Army, even if they want to turn back and return to the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for them to return to the Ming Dynasty, and the sins they have committed in Shandong are simply unspeakable and cannot be forgiven.
They can only go one way to the dark, even if this road is a cliff that may collapse at any time.
