Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Sun Sike was more cautious, and the officers of his subordinates were eager to try when they saw that the Qing army was not as strong as their own.

These officers are the Eight Banners of the original Han army with Sun Sike anyway. The original fear of the Manchu soldiers was stoked in their bones. Now the Qing Dynasty is no longer enough. The Manchu soldiers have suffered consecutive defeats in recent years. The army also had the courage to ignore the Manchu soldiers.

His subordinates were eager to fight, and Sun Sike was also a little moved. After he cut his braids and surrendered to Wu Sangui, he had not made any contributions, so after observing for a while and found that there was no Qing army ambushing nearby, he thought that he had brought more than 1,000 cavalry. There are only a few hundred soldiers in the army. If they win against the opponent, these hundreds of people will be the first-class military merits sent to the door, and Prime Minister Xia will definitely look at him with admiration.

"Get off the horse and get ready!"

Sun Sike issued an order that half of the cavalry he brought were equipped with the three-eyed guns used by the original Ming army, which was the same as the Guan Ning army, Wu Sangui's direct descendant. Wu Jun quickly dismounted, checked the gunpowder loading, and added material to the warhorse, so that the warhorse could maintain sufficient horsepower in the upcoming battle. Horses have spirituality, and many war horses snorted and their hooves swayed uncomfortably on the ground. The Qing army on the opposite side found that after the Wu army was preparing to charge, more than a dozen strong flags galloped around outside the formation, shouting something. The two sides were far apart and could not hear clearly. From a distance, many Qing soldiers could be seen raising their long knives and long bows in a fluttering shape.

After about half an hour, both the Wu army and the Qing army entered a state of battle, and both sides were slowly advancing on their horses. In terms of strength, the Wu army had the upper hand, but the Qing army could not passively defend there, because both sides were cavalry. If the cavalry were to form a defensive formation like the infantry, it would be beyond the ability of the most foolish general.

The Qing army's Jia Laezhen Tuzhan was born in Zhenghongqi. He was originally a servant of Prince Li Daishan's mansion. Eight Banners made quite a name. In the most violent one, Tu Zhan took seven people to disperse hundreds of troops, and the then regent Dorgon praised him.

It's just that the current picture is not as good as it was in the past. The wrinkles on his face and the white hair on his head confirm that the years are not forgiving. Tuzhan is old, and the Eight Banners officers of his generation have long since died, but he still has to go into battle. There is no one in Manzhou. This is a fact that everyone knows and no one can deny. Otherwise, the emperor would not have carried so many Han troops and green battalions into Manchuria. This time, the Eight Banners Banned Brigade brought to Henan by Aobai can be said to be the last family foundation of Manchuria and the Qing Dynasty. If they lose again, the Eight Banners of Manzhou will be completely renamed the Eight Banners of the Han Chinese.

Of the more than 700 Manchurian red flag cavalry that Tu Zhan brought, there were only more than 100 of the real Manchurian troops, and the rest were Han troops and green battalions carried back. The flag remains the same, but the people are different. Tu Zhan was a little sad in his heart, but he kept his mission in mind. As for the current composition of Manchuria, it was not something he cared about and attached great importance to. Strictly speaking, wasn't the original Manchuria composed of various ethnic groups? Now the big deal is the same as that of Taizu Taizong, and it is no big deal. These new flag bearers have met several times, and they have been running in a few times. Naturally, they are really Manzhou.

When he was hundreds of paces away from the Wu army, Tu Zhan pulled out his sword and roared, "Manchu sons, follow me to kill the thieves!"

Hundreds of real Manchus subconsciously whistled, tightened the horse's belly, and rushed forward. After a brief hesitation, the Han and Green Battalion soldiers who were carried into Manchuria also waved their saber and charged towards the other side's queue. Wu Jun, who was rushing over from the opposite side, also burst into shouts of killing, and the two sides collided like two black clouds, one big and one small. With a "bang", Wu Jun's three-eyed gun fired on the horse, and a large hole was blasted in the chest of a Qing army who rushed up and fell under the horse. The sound of gunshots, arrows, howls of knives and horses, and wailing resounded in the wilderness.

The Qing army, whose strength was at a disadvantage, was quickly disrupted by the Wu army. Although from the outside, the Qing army carried into Manchuria was no different from the real Manchuria, but when they saw that the real Manchuria continued to fall from horses, it was in all directions. After it was all Wu Jun, they quickly dispersed with a hula. Tu Zhan tried his best to resist and fight, but in the end he had to fight Ma Dong to withdraw.

Sun Sike won the first battle, and he was over 300 ranks. He was very happy, but he didn't know that at the moment when he was fighting the Qing army, there were six or seven such small-scale battles in the area of ​​hundreds of miles to the left. as much.

The battle reports sent from various places made Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu realize that Ao Bai was organizing troops and horses to test Wu Jun's defense line, and the battle that the two sides had accumulated for a long time had already begun.

Xia Guoxiang would not just let Ao Bai test his own weaknesses. He really ordered Guo Zhuangtu's entire army to advance towards Zhongmu and contain Ao Bai. He moved to Kaifeng with Wang Pingfan, Hu Guozhu and other troops, or he broke Ao. Bail on the back road and surround him in the Zhongmu area, or force Obai to return to Kaifeng and let the battle return to the starting point. No matter which result it is, it will be fatal to Ao Bai.

Wu Sangui received a report from Xia Guoxiang, agreed with Xia Guoxiang's deployment, and entrusted the front-line battle to his eldest son-in-law. At the same time, Ma Bao and other ministries were ordered to immediately reinforce Xia Guoxiang, and even he had already asked Hu Yuxuan to organize manpower to rehearse the procedures for the ceremony of ascending the throne in Kaifeng.

Xia Guoxiang led more than 30,000 troops to the north of Zhongmu. The two days progressed smoothly, and they defeated two Qing troops successively and beheaded hundreds of them. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Liangdong led more than 4,000 soldiers from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion to meet Xia Guo. The next day, the returning Xi'an general Tabai led 2,000 soldiers and Wu Zhimao brought 4,000 soldiers under the command of the Prime Minister of Xia, thus expanding the number of Prime Minister Xia to nearly 50,000.

The Qing army seemed to have discovered the purpose of the Minister of the Xia State and tried desperately to intercept it, but it was unable to delay the Minister of the State of Xia's advance towards Kaifeng. Guo Zhuangtu, who was in front of Zhongmu, bit Ao Bai like a wolf, and several attacks almost shook the defense line of Zhongmu.

On the 11th, Wu Zhimao's army encountered the Qing army in the Xuanwuwei area. Within half an hour of the battle, the Qing army could not resist and retreated frantically. Looking at the Qing troops fleeing all over the mountains and plains, Wu Zhimao was hesitant at first whether to pursue or not, but after hearing the captured prisoners say that Jia Hanfu, the governor of Henan, was in the Qing army, Wu Zhimao ordered the pursuit without hesitation. Sun Sike, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Pingfan and other troops who arrived immediately after learning that Wu Zhimao was catching up, also joined the pursuit team one after another because they did not know the previous situation.

The Qing army was indeed collapsing, and no one doubted it, because the Qing army themselves did not know that they were acting as a decoy.

After seeing Wu Jun finally entering his encirclement, Ao Bai, whose hair was half white, finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to lure Wu Jun, he paid too much, and whether the final outcome was as he wished is still unknown.

Tanma kept reporting the troops who were chasing Wu Jun. When it was confirmed that there were tens of thousands of Wu Jun chasing after him, not only Ao Bai, but also the Manchu Ezhen and Dutong under his command were beating wildly. They were worried that there would be too many Wu Jun chasing after them, and if they didn't do it well, not only would they not be able to eat the other party, but they would break the encirclement by the other party.

Ao Bai, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, was also very hesitant. He staged an empty city plan in Zhongmu. The Zhongmu camp was actually an empty camp, but in order to make the Wu Jun in front of him suspect that it was fake, he still left eight thousand Manchus. Eight banners and more than 10,000 green battalions, which allowed him to deploy only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the ambush circle. If Wu Jun chased only tens of thousands of horses, Obai had full confidence to eat them, even if the other party had 20,000, he was also very sure, but he did not expect that the bait would attract 30,000 to 40,000 Wu troops, and even Wu Jun's general Guo Zhuangtu. It is possible to be among them, which makes Ao Bai feel at a loss.

However, at this time it is not the time for Ao Bai to consider, the arrow is already on the string and has to be sent. Either do business as usual or just leave.

"Send orders to all the ministries, obey my orders and act! Those who dare to tamper with it will engage in military law!"

Ao Bai gritted his teeth and passed the order, and he put his hope on the secret weapon obtained from the Taiping Army with thousands of taels of gold. The scenes of the Battle of Yangzhou left a deep impression on Ao Bai's mind. He believed that the weapon that made him suffer a big loss can also make Wu Jun suffer a big loss.

Aobai has never been a conservative person, and among the Manchu dignitaries, he is a very enlightened person. He admires Sinicization, advocates the integration of Manchu and Han, and deliberately learns the strengths of the Han people, especially in weapons. In the past, the firearms of the Ming army were dispensable in the eyes of Ao Bai, but now he attaches great importance to it. In order to obtain the kind of iron cannons used by the Taiping Army in Yangzhou, he personally sent people to Jiangnan for activities. After he tried his best to obtain a real object and drawings, he immediately organized those craftsmen in the original Han army flag to imitate it.

Just as the master is going to sign a contract with the red-haired ghost, "to control the Han with the barbarians", Ao Bai advocates "to control the Han with the skills of the Han". In his opinion, the Han people are cowardly in their bones, and the reason why the Taiping army can suppress The Eight Banners of Mongolia and Mongolia rely on those strange weapons. Therefore, as long as the Qing Dynasty is also equipped with these weapons, then on the battlefield in the future, they can successfully suppress the opponent, at least offset the damage caused by those weapons to the Qing army, and then rely on the bravery of the Manchu soldiers to smash the cowardly Taiping army in their bones and rebuild the restore the glory of the Qing Dynasty.

Now, this is the first use of this secret weapon, and Ao Bai has high hopes for it. He has no retreat, and no chance, he can only be nailed here, if he loses again this time, he will never see the master again.

Unaware that there was an encirclement in front of them, Wu Zhimao's department plunged into the pockets of the Qing army. They only focused on chasing and killing the Qing soldiers who were panicking, completely unaware that there was an ambush around them.

Hundreds of Green Battalion soldiers saw that the road in front was blocked, but the hooves of the chasing soldiers behind them were clearly audible, and they climbed the hillside in horror. After crying and screaming on the slope, a green battalion soldier was stunned. He found that there seemed to be someone in the grass on the slope. He opened his mouth wide and was about to shout, but a sharp arrow pierced his throat, leaving him speechless. No one noticed the soldier's death. The Qing soldiers on the bottom of the **** were running for their lives, and the soldiers on the **** were also running for their lives.

The heart of Miao Chenglong, the commander-in-chief who was standing behind Yonggui, the capital of the Zhenghuang Banner in Manzhou, kept tugging, because many of the green camps fleeing down the mountain were his subordinates, but he couldn't tell them the truth~www.wuxiaspot.com ~Beidutong, Wu Jun's cavalry has rushed in! "

"Let's explore again, how far is Wu Jun's infantry!"

Yong Gui waved his hand and ordered to explore the horse again, but his frowning brows never loosened. When the exact news came from Tan Ma again, and after Wu Jun's brigade entered the encirclement, Yong Gui let out a sigh of relief and looked east. He was waiting, waiting for the signal from Obai. Finally, the sound of drums came from the sky in the east, Yong Gui was shocked, turned his head and commanded: "Get ready to fire!"

Following Yong Gui's order, he saw that the ground that was densely covered with dead grass and branches suddenly moved in unison, and then a door of black lacquered iron pipes were exposed.

Yong Gui had seen the power of these big iron cylinders, and he knew that the Taiping bandits called them "without conscience". He has also personally seen the corpses of soldiers who were shaken to death by "unconscience", which were terrifying weapons whose internal organs were shattered by the shock.

"fire!"

With a "whoosh" sound, a large medicine bag tied with a wooden tie was bounced into the air, and then hoisted down the slope.
