Section 11 Raiding the Camp (I)

Duolonga is already in his fifties, starting from Nurhachi to Shunzhi through the three masters, from Juehua to Yangzhou has been active in the army, and this time he was selected to follow the emperor on the southern expedition because of his rich experience.

"In front of it is Yangzhou." Duolonga did not have a good impression of Gaoyou, after listening to some Han history, he also knew the significance of Gaoyou in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng was fighting against the Yuan Dynasty's million army with more than 10,000 lone troops here, and finally defeated it, thus breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Mongol iron cavalry, and greatly boosting the fighting spirit of the Han people - the rule of the Yuan Dynasty depended on this myth, just as the rule of the Manchu Dynasty depended on the might of the soldiers of the Eight Banners. The rule of the Yuan Dynasty remained for a few years after the Battle of Gaoyou, but the Mongols' sense of coercion that had suffocated the Han Chinese was certainly no longer alive after the Battle of Gaoyou, and the demise of this dynasty that relied on a reign of terror was inevitable - even if this victory was won by the enemies of Ming Taizu, the Han people still frown at the mention of that glorious victory.

Compared with Gaoyou, Duolonga has a very good impression of Yangzhou, which was personally guarded by Shangshu and Ge Lao of the Southern Ming Army, was conquered by the Qing army like lightning, and after the victory, the Qing army carried out a brutal massacre of the city, in order to show the world that resistance, even a slight resistance will lead to the consequences. The blood in the city flowed like a river, and Duoduo stood on the head of the city with his toes proud, pointing to the mountain of corpses under his feet and saying in the sea of blood: "After that, the soldiers are everywhere, and the officials, soldiers and civilians resist and do not surrender, and Weiyang can be learned!" ”

When it was heard that Wu Sangui did not massacre the resisting cities in Guizhou, Shunzhi also issued an edict accusing the king of Pingxi for not slaughtering the Han people, and could not reflect the majesty of the imperial court.

"The majesty of the imperial court will make the Han people prostrate at the feet of the emperor forever." Duolonga hadn't been to Jiangnan for many years, and he made up his mind that when he arrived in Yangzhou, he would definitely go to his hometown again.

The imperial camp walked on the territory of the imperial court, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of green battalions in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and the enemy's movements would always be presented to the imperial front in a timely manner, which made many imperial camp officers relax their vigilance, and Duolonga was no exception. Baidu search 89 read But Duolonga is different from others, even if it is such a safe march, he still insists that his subordinates send sentries to reconnoiter and guard around the imperial camp, this is not because Duolonga thinks that the enemy has wings on his back and can suddenly appear near the imperial camp, but for the purpose of training the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

Since entering the customs, the frequency of the Eight Banners of Manchuria participating in battles has been declining, and in recent years, it has been even more rare for the Eight Banners to go into battle; although a large number of newcomers who have entered the banner are well-equipped, they are far from being comparable with the older generation when they fought hard outside the customs, but their combat effectiveness has greatly declined. For example, the 2,000 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers in the imperial camp, none of them who became Ding ten years after Shunzhi participated in actual combat. I don't even think that I will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, which also leads to the slackness of the Eight Banners soldiers in their daily training, not only do ordinary soldiers have no motivation to practice hard, but even officers often get by because they feel sorry for their children.

Last year, Jiangning garrisoned the Eight Banners suffered heavy losses, and in the recent battle in Xiamen, many soldiers of the Eight Banners were killed and sunk in the sand, and Duolonga couldn't help but think that if the Eight Banners could maintain the training intensity outside the Guan, even if the number of recruits remained the same, they would not be beaten so badly by the Zheng army.

Although Duolonga has this understanding, he is still difficult to withstand the pressure to improve the training intensity of his subordinates when he is in the Jingshi, when he was outside the customs in the past, Houjin because of the huge survival pressure, few people dare to be lazy in the drill, if there is such a thing that does not know life and death, even if it is killed on the spot by the officer, no one will say no. But now the living conditions of the banner people are completely different, they don't rely on the bow and horse skillfully to rob the property, the hardcore crops will be sent to the door by themselves, and now not to mention beating the lazy flag man to death, even if the punishment is too heavy, there will be many people to intercede, thinking that everyone is related to the past, and finally lived a good life from the dragon entry pass, and beat the child to death for a little thing? If they really fall into a disability, they will not be able to be at peace under the Nine Springs.

Therefore, escorting the emperor on this trip is an opportunity for Duolong to train his subordinates, and with the big hat of the emperor's safety, no one has any reason not to go out and stand guard on duty. Before Zhili and Shandong magistrates took care of the imperial camp, Duolonga was secretly a little dissatisfied, so that he had no chance to teach his subordinates how to set up camp tents correctly and how to dig trenches quickly, and after arriving here in Jiangnan, Lin Qilong was even more meticulous about the imperial camp, not only the camp was placed more properly, but even the horse materials were divided into good portions and sent according to the correct proportion of food materials, so that the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp did not even have to bother to take care of their own horses, which of course contributed to the inertia of the Eight Banners. 89 Reading.com

For Lin Qilong, who allows them to open their mouths and stretch out their hands for food, the imperial camp is now highly praised, and the Eight Banners can sleep on their heads after marching every day, although Duolonga is a little dissatisfied, feeling that he is even more unable to hone his subordinates, but he can't compete with the mainstream of public opinion.

When Dolonga came out with some of his men on duty tonight, he noticed that they looked even more listless, most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp were reluctant to come out at night on such a cold day, especially after seeing that the other comrades were very comfortable, they felt even more unlucky that they had such a top boss as Dolonga.

When Dolonga was deploying tasks to these dozens of subordinates and explaining various precautions for camping at the same time, he suddenly saw a fire dragon winding in his direction in the distance.

"What's going on?" Dorona squinted at the procession, and in a very short time he had made a judgment that it was an army, and that it was numerous, in the thousands.

"What are they going to do, where are they going?" If it had been twenty years ago, he would have shouted "enemy attack", immediately ordered his men to report as quickly as possible, and led the rest of the men to start harassing the attack.

In Dorona's long military life, there have been many cases of mistaking friendly troops for enemy forces, and he has encountered many more false alarms than real ones, but even so, he will not hesitate to sound this alarm after twenty years, because misunderstanding is better than being attacked; It is better to take off your armor and go to sleep than to be caught off guard by an enemy; When there was a misunderstanding, Dorona never complained, and if he was alerted soon, he would not hesitate to put on his armor and rush out of the barracks to find his commander and men.

However, it is not twenty years ago, this is already the territory of the Qing Dynasty rather than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the army that can walk on it can only be the troops of the imperial court.

"Did you bring us grain and grass?" One of Dorona's men asked.

"Haven't we already delivered grain and grass today?" Another flag soldier replied.

"Maybe it's extra charcoal and food, maybe wine?" When he was in Shandong and Zhili, the magistrates sent drinks to the imperial camp, and the officers didn't mind drinking a little, as long as the control was within a certain range, they wouldn't be able to keep up with the team, Lin Qilong sent more, and the soldiers could also share some, and the officers didn't interfere with it, and it was also appropriate to warm up their bodies in winter, anyway, Deng Ming was still far away in Taiping and Chizhou.

"Go over and ask." Duolonga and his subordinates rushed over quickly, the emperor may have gone to bed at this time, Duolonga didn't want too many people to approach the imperial camp and disturb the emperor's sleep.

This group of Qing cavalry galloped forward with torches high, and the coming column also saw them early, and when Dolonga and his horse rushed over, someone on the opposite side had already met them.

"We are the subordinates of Zhou Bu's political envoy." The officer at the head introduced himself: "I was ordered to escort some prisoners to the emperor, and I also received an order from Governor Lin on the way, he was worried that the imperial camp would not have enough firewood, so he asked us to send some charcoal and grain and grass along the way." ”

As he spoke, the officer pointed behind him, and there were many carts in the column, all loaded with straw like hills, and then the officer pointed into the distance: "The prisoners are behind." ”

"It is strictly forbidden for idle people to approach around the imperial camp!" Doron Ah shouted sharply, he only glanced closer, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this team, and at the same time as the suspicion arose, he had to order that he had already blurted out: "What prisoners and grain and grass to send at night, return quickly!" ”

"Can't you?" The officer on the opposite side said lightly.

After only a moment, the suspicion in Duolonga's heart became even thicker, there were too many soldiers on the opposite side, and their postures seemed to be too vigorous, and the attitude and tone of the green shadow officer in front of the horse seemed to be too humble or arrogant......

The afterglow seemed to catch some movement, and before he could turn his head to make sure, a beast-like instinct developed by years of fighting caused Dorona to reflexively let out a loud roar, and before his mind could realize the danger, he reached down and grasped the hilt of his sword.

The sword was drawn violently, just enough to hold up a spear that had pierced it, and the enemy soldiers in the column on the road, before the officer's words fell, drew their weapons together, and rushed towards the pair of imperial camps like a tide, and many arrows were shot out of the darkness.

None of Dorona's men could match their commander's reaction, and the bannermen closest to the main road were thrown from their horses in the blink of an eye, and the cavalrymen in the back were stunned, shot in the cheeks and necks by the rushing feathered arrows, and fell off their horses with a scream.

With two spears stabbing at the flanks at the same time, with no speed or time to dodge, Dorona roared and opened a shot with his sword, kicking out of his stirrup and kicking it exactly at the tip of the spear, so that it missed the target.

But by this time, an enemy soldier had already rushed to the horse, and with a flash of his sword, he stabbed Dorona's mount in the chest.

As the horse fell to one side, Dorona saw several more men leap up and slash at him with swords and spears.

"Such skillful cooperation is the enemy's elite soldiers...... "Before Dolonga's thought was finished, he was already in a different place.

And all his subordinates were also put down at this time, and one by one they lay on the ground without a bare eye.

"Don't make a noise, keep going." Jiang Nan ordered, he didn't see the arrows rising from the left and right wings, which means that the Royal Forest Army did not deploy dark posts around. This place is already very close to the imperial camp of Shunzhi, and this noise and screaming may attract more inquirers: "Crossbowmen are on guard, and anyone who approaches the question will be shot." ”
