"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, the new army has left the city through Anding Gate."
After receiving the report, Old Thirteen vomited out the grass roots in his mouth. Phew, Yuzhu is finally here!
As the saying goes, a tiger wants to eat people, but a tiger wants to harm people!
Lao Shisan led his troops to ambush at Luohuqiu, the only place Yuzhu must pass on his way to Fengtai.
Luohuqiu is a small highland. The terrain is higher but not steep, which is very suitable for cavalry to attack from a high position.
"Go down with the order and hear the sound of the cannon before you are allowed to fight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
"嗻."
The fourth child was confronting the eighth child in the camp. In fact, they were talking about an empty city strategy. The real main force of the right wing came with the thirteenth child, waiting to ambush Yuzhu.
Who is Lao Ba? Does he know anything about military matters?
Uh-huh, Yuzhu's direct descendant, the New Army, is a serious problem!
Ever since Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, came to the throne, there has been an ironclad unspoken rule within the Eight Banners: The Eight Banners in Manchuria have a small number of people, and if one is killed, one will be missing. It is forbidden to fight against each other.
Why is Lao Ba willing to negotiate with Lao Si? Isn’t it because everyone is forcing him?
Back then, Dorgon clearly had the advantage of the three banners, but he still had to discuss it with the banner owners, Beile, and did not dare to start a war rashly!
"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, the new army stopped at the entrance of Qiuqiu. Judging from the movement, it seems that they are taking a temporary rest."
"Explore again."
"嗻."
Lao Shisan rubbed his hands, feeling both excited and a little nervous.
Humph, Yuzhu, last time I set up an ambush to capture you, but unexpectedly, you jumped over the encirclement and went around to the south to enter the New Army camp.
This time, I will first destroy the new army and capture you, and then beg Fourth Brother to spare your life!
Lao Shisan owes Yuzhu so many favors that he can't even count them.
Although they are each their own masters, they are willing to be cruel. However, Lao Shisan is not so cold-blooded after all, and still wants to save Yuzhu's life.
Yuzhu deliberately stopped at the entrance of Luohuqiu, rested for a quarter of an hour, and never gave the order to continue on the road.
Old Thirteen is indeed a somewhat chivalrous person, and among the princes, he is considered to be more knowledgeable about military matters.
However, Lao Shisan had a fatal flaw. He had never commanded an army in actual combat.
War is a science of continuous accumulation of experience.
Anyone who boasts that he is born to fight is Zhao Kuo!
Yuzhu, who has experienced hundreds of battles, is different. The number one general in the Xi Dynasty must be him!
The Eight Banners Army in Fengtai were all heavily armored cavalry and had almost no artillery.
The cavalry and the new army are fighting on the plain. Hey, isn't that a replica of the Battle of Baliqiao?
In the Battle of Baliqiao, Seng Gelinqin led about 25,000 people and the British and French coalition forces about 8,000 people.
After the war, the Qing army suffered about 200 casualties and was completely defeated.
The British and French forces suffered a total of 5 casualties. Among them, the British army had 2 casualties and 29 casualties, and the French army had 3 casualties and 7 casualties.
In other words, the Qing army fought with more troops but with fewer losses, but the losses caused to the British and French coalition forces were almost negligible.
This is a modern military-industrial power that has a crushing military advantage over agricultural civilization!
In this attack, Yuzhu did not dare to be careless at all, and brought more than 4,000 elite main forces to dispatch.
In addition, Feiyanggu's firearms camp was equipped with 200 cannons and more than 3,000 officers and soldiers.
To be honest, in addition to the inferior range, the density of firepower and the quality of the army's soldiers have surpassed the British and French coalition forces.
After resting for another half-quarter of an hour, Yuzhu suddenly issued a strange order.
"Pass my order, and the whole army will turn around and head east, bypassing Luohuqiu."
"yes."
What Yuzhu actually went back?
Old Thirteen’s jaw almost dropped in shock!
However, according to the report from the sentry, Yuzhu did lead his troops away.
Lao Shisan was extremely upset, raised his leg fiercely, and kicked a small tree.
About a quarter of an hour later, news came from the fourth child that the eighth child was probably going to take action, and asked him to quickly come back for help.
With no other choice, Lao Shisan had to recall the ambush troops, lead everyone down the mountain, and rush back.
However, just when Lao Shisan reached the bottom of the mountain, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon.
"Yo ho..."
"Hey ho..."
Niu Tai led more than 800 Sauron's cavalry, waving their sabers, and killed them from the top of the hill.
Being fooled, Old Thirteen knew it was bad, so he quickly turned on his horse and ran away!
Eating raw meat and drinking raw blood, Sauron's savage and invincible cavalry has once again gained a condescending advantage. This battle cannot be fought!
While running, Lao Shisan couldn't figure out why the invincible Sauron cavalry got involved with Yuzhu.
Hehe, for this question, we have to ask the rulers of the Qing Dynasty how they exploited the Sauron tribe.
In fact, Yuzhu did not agree to many conditions from Sauron.
He just clearly told the clan leader Sang Jie that he would no longer force men from the Sauron tribe to fight for the Qing Dynasty.
With such a small promise, it was impossible for Sang Jie not to be tempted.
If you don’t bet, the entire Sauron tribe will sooner or later be wiped out by the Qing court.
Take the gamble, and from now on Sauron's tribe can recuperate and regain a new lease of life!
Sang Jie rushed up and waved his sword, wanting to see a lot of blood!
Niu Tai quickly grabbed the reins of Sang Jie's horse, pulled out his throat, and shouted loudly: "Master said, only pursue the defeated army and try not to kill!"
On the battlefield, the sound of killing was loud and the sound of hooves was like thunder.
This is Niu Tai, who is born with supernatural power. If it were anyone else, even if his throat was broken, Sang Jie would not be able to hear him. What is he talking about?
Try to reduce meaningless killings. This is the biggest difference between Yuzhu and the intruder Li Zicheng!
After the intruder Li Zicheng broke into the capital, he got carried away and ransacked houses to steal money.
Although the intruder Li Zicheng made more than 70 million taels of silver in one go.
However, the indiscriminate robbery offended all the big bureaucrats, big landowners, scholars, squires, small landowners, small businessmen and civilians in the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Sangui, who had already surrendered, was desperate and offered Shanhaiguan to Dorgon. He was undoubtedly a traitor!
However, the intruder Li Zicheng brought disaster to the entire Wu family. Unless Wu Sangui was in trouble and had no regard for personal life or death, he would surrender himself and continue to rely on Li Chuang.
Yuzhu is different.
A country with braids on the back of its head will overthrow sooner or later. However, Yuzhu's current strength is far from enough to control the entire Qing Dynasty.
There are nearly a million enemies outside, including hundreds of thousands of flag soldiers and hundreds of thousands of green camp soldiers.
If the indiscriminate killing without any strategy aroused the public indignation of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, how could Yuzhu have time to expand and train the new army?
When you need to be patient, you must be patient!
Damn it, Yuzhu has endured the old emperor for more than ten years and worked hard to act like a loyal minister, so why rush it?
As long as the new army expands to more than 100,000 and sweeps across Liuhe, it will be a matter of course!
The more critical the situation is, the less urgent it is!
I'm so impatient that I can't eat hot tofu!
There is a classic line that Yuzhu has always kept in mind: Don’t be like Li Zicheng!
Caught off guard, Lao Shisan was defeated like a mountain.
The so-called invincible cavalry of the Eight Banners were so frightened that they lost their helmets and armor and ran away, even throwing away the flag of Lao Shisan.
Alas, the faces of all the ancestors of the braided soldiers who entered the customs were completely lost!
