Chapter 126 Tail Docking Survival and Cannon Fodder(2/3)
Qianlong's cavalry regiment simply shrank into a ball, ignoring the bullets suddenly shot from both sides of the road, and just ran forward with their heads covered.
I have to say.
The mules and Japanese horses under the Ming army's mounted infantry brigade were still not fast enough, so they could only watch Qianlong's cavalry brigade slip away.
However, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and Baoyi Army without horses were not so lucky.
They actually didn't know that Qianlong had slipped away.
"The emperor personally led tens of thousands of cavalry around the back of Ni Ming. This battle was a trap from beginning to end, a trap that Zhu Daohua, the false king of Ni Ming, was fooled!!"
In order to maintain the morale of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion and the Baoyi Army from collapse.
This is what LePaul said to his subordinates.
The soldiers of the Baoyi Army and the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp were also unable to verify the situation. All their eyes could see was the situation in front of them.
"To block Ni Ming's attack, we only need to withstand it for one day, one day! They will be finished!"
Really?
Fan Baoyi heard from his immediate boss.
When an armored man from the Eight Banners said this, doubts appeared in his mind.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't defeat five thousand infantry.
Now King Zhu Ming came with tens of thousands of troops.
With less than 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camp and the Baoyi Army, can they stop it?
But since the above said so.
They, the low-level soldiers who had no idea what was going on, had no choice but to follow suit.
in history.
How many people can really know the whole truth?
Most of them are like Fan Bao.
If you are confused, you will be led into the abyss without knowing it.
Relying on a low hillside, Lebao shrank the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion and the Baoji Army into a group and dug trenches to defend.
"Commander Commander, they are coming!"
Next to Lebao was his confidant Zalanga, who was holding a telescope and looking forward with a somewhat frightened expression.
Under his gaze.
It seemed that Ming troops were coming from all directions.
The shaking of the surrounding vegetation can make people feel frightened.
LePaul squinted his eyes and considered.
"Have our people gathered together?"
Our people refer to the Eight Banners soldiers.
They are all Eight Banners soldiers with horses,
"They are all put away, and the horses are matched with two for each person. It is enough."
Zalang'a sighed and said.
"Commander Commander, if we do this, will we commit unjust acts and be killed?"
Le Bao frowned and said: "The foundation of our Qing Dynasty is in the Eight Banners. These Han soldiers can be recruited at any time as long as they have money!"
Zha Lang'a looked at the Han soldiers who were still digging trenches, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I have to say.
Under the influence of Han civilization.
On the contrary, some Eight Banners bannermen have developed a little bit of conscience, although not much.
The fate of the Gansu and Shaanxi green battalions and the Baoyi Army as cannon fodder blocking the Ming army's infantry was doomed.
The key is that Emperor Qianlong didn't have that many ships to take them away together.
Taking tens of thousands of troops by land would run the risk of being completely surrounded by the Ming army - if all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were killed by the Ming army.
Then the Qing Dynasty might not even be able to defend the northern Central Plains.
The emperor cannot take risks.
Then these Han soldiers.
It can only be regarded as an abandoned child, as the docked tail that was abandoned in order to survive.
"What we have to do now is delay for as long as we can!"
Lebao stared at the Ming army formations that continued to form in front of him.
"Let the coat army drive the southern green camp out to attack."
Le Bao wanted to beat the opponent to a point where he was not yet firmly on his feet.
Chen Huacheng was driven out again under such circumstances - speaking of his luck, I don't know whether it was good or bad.
Originally, he had already made up his mind to defect to the Ming Dynasty.
But since then, he has not had the opportunity to go out in battle, and instead stayed in the military camp to do hard work.
Now another wooden gun was thrust into his hand.
He was driven out of the formation.
"I want to surrender! I want to surrender!"
Chen Huacheng gritted his teeth and stared at the Ming army's formation ahead.
"Rush, hurry up!"
Driven by the coat army.
These green battalion soldiers, who had been working hard for many days, moved forward slowly.
It wasn't until someone smashed him in the head with a musket butt that he felt a little happier.
Among these green soldiers.
Only Chen Huacheng was an accident.
He suddenly broke away from the military formation and ran towards the Ming army's queue.
For him.
That's hope.
Boom boom boom.
Cannonballs roared.
A cannonball exploded not far from him.
Chen Huacheng pounced towards a shell crater ahead.
His body suddenly shook, his vision went dark, and he fell unconscious.
Tap tap tap.
When Chen Huacheng regains a little consciousness.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could already see soldiers of the Ming army collecting corpses on the battlefield.
The Qing Tartars were defeated
Chen Huacheng thought.
At this moment.
A voice sounded, and he struggled hard to get up, but found that he couldn't use any strength at all.
"Qianlong escaped"
Zhu Daohua was riding on his horse, unaware that there was a cannon fodder soldier who had fainted but survived under his feet.
He was looking at the information transmitted from the hot air balloon and sighed.
The Yangtze River waterway is not in our hands.
It is indeed impossible to trap 20,000 to 30,000 cavalrymen to death.
"To be able to completely wipe out the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Battalion and the Baoyi Army is a brilliant achievement." Tao Biquan said with a smile, "This also greatly damaged Qianlong's prestige. I estimate that even if he returns to the capital, it will be difficult for him to explain."
Explain?
Zhu Daohua said with a smile: "I don't care what Qianlong says. What I'm worried about now is that he will jump over the wall and plunder Jiangnan!"
For Zhu Daohua.
