The number of Niu Lu under the jurisdiction of a banner ranges from more than ten Niu Lu to more than forty Niu Lu. Therefore, the number of Baijia under each banner is six to seven hundred, while the minimum is no more than two to three hundred.
Dorgon now mobilized all the white-armored soldiers he could raise as the last mobile force of the Qing army. The rest of the soldiers and horses were all mobilized to fight to the death on the ring trench. He had been holding it in his hand and was preparing to snipe Li Laiheng.
A group of sharpshooters were also put on the battlefield.
Shang Kexi also asked Ying to say: "Our army's artillery can be commanded by King Gongshun. Now that the front line is shaken and the firepower of the bandits is very sharp and fierce, our army also needs a group of gunmen to make up for the front. Your Highness, please mobilize our army to join the battle."
Dorgon was somewhat wary of Han people like King Sanshun, and was not as reassured as he appeared. After all, he was not Huang Taiji, his personal ability was not that strong, and he did not have full assurance and confidence in controlling these Han vassal kings.
Therefore, during this period of time, Dorgon had been secretly trying to limit the expansion of King Sanshun's troops. Now Shang Kexi volunteered to join the meat grinder on the trench, which really surprised Dorgon.
Shang Kexi said with a stern look: "I and even the most foolish people once betrayed Emperor Zhen. The former emperor did not sin against me, but instead used his wisdom to obey the king and his ministers, and granted them fame and wealth. Today, I only know how to sacrifice my life."
, try our best to protect the Qing Dynasty, to show the sincerity of the ministers."
Shang Kexi's words almost made Dorgon understand for the first time what it was like to be moved. He was a little excited, but in his heart he still retained a little prejudice against the Han vassal kings.
Dorgon was a little hesitant, but seeing Shang Kexi taking the initiative to ask for help, he finally said:
"King Zhishun has made great achievements since his return from the sea. Emperor Taizong has always praised you for your achievements. He has given you the title of king and the title of Dingding Yanjing. You can devote all your loyalty and praise to your great cause, making Hebei peaceful and peaceful for the people.
Living and working in peace and contentment is a rare achievement.
Now I am fighting against the bandit, which is the most important thing in the world. King Zhishun will encourage loyalty and purity, overcome his great strategy, and ride on the battlefield as a king. It is appropriate to receive honor and reward for his achievements.
Scholar Fan... I will gladly confer the title of Prince to King Zhishun, and after the great victory in Xuzhou, I will confer the title on you!"
After Dorgon conferred the title of prince on Shang Kexi, of course he could not give Kong Youde the cold shoulder. Although Kong Youde did not actively fight for the Qing Dynasty like Shang Kexi did, and worked for the Qing Dynasty at all costs, he was also a Han vassal. If he favored one over the other at this moment, he could
That would be very bad.
Dorgon did not hesitate to reward Shang Kexi and Kong Youde with the highest reward, and also wanted to stabilize the morale of the Han Army's Green Camp as soon as possible. After all, the Dashun Army just launched a dense column of grenadiers to charge, and they actually defeated them in one encounter.
Tens of thousands of Green Battalion soldiers were defeated steadily - this was still the Green Battalion's solid defense line relying on trenches!
The Han army under Shang Kexi quickly entered the frontline battlefield. The rapid defeat of the green camp troops shocked all the generals of the Qing army. The dense columns of dashun army grenadiers charged like an overwhelming force.
The momentum was so fierce that no one could stop it. Even top-notch battlefield commanders like Bo Hetuo and brave warriors like Nikan, who were not afraid of death, could not rely on the small number of Manchu soldiers on hand to withstand the frontline of the bandits.
Now we can only look at the strength of the reinforcements from Shang Kexi and others. King Zhishun spared no effort to maintain the front line for Dorgon. The Han soldiers and horses attacked with guns and muskets, and the infantry were also moved to one side of the trench to attack the Shun army.
On the narrow battlefield on both sides of the trench, the Qing army and the Shun army, the Donglu and the rogue bandits, and the soldiers of the two armies all fought to the point of bleeding. After the grenadiers achieved a breakthrough, the infantry brigades from the rear also gradually filled the battle line.
, striving to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough, the elite cavalry wandered on both wings looking for fighter planes, staring at the Qing cavalry with eager eyes.
Even a loyal slave like Kang Dahai could not help but feel confused and frightened when he saw hundreds of casualties and hundreds of corpses rolling down into the ditch the moment the Han soldiers of King Zhishun entered the battlefield:
"If Your Majesty doesn't leave any seeds, our vassal will kill them all! I'm so brave, please ask Your Majesty not to come forward anymore. The cannons of the bandits are too powerful! If Your Majesty comes forward a little more, if something happens, everything will be ruined."
It fell!"
There was no hesitation or fear on Shang Kexi's face. He rushed into the battle formation with all his guards and said calmly:
"The rogue bandits have arrived at the gate of our army, and the overall situation is becoming critical. I betrayed Emperor Chongzhen back then, how can I betray the Qing Dynasty again today?"
Shang Kexi hid a dagger in his arms and ordered his guards to prepare firewood in the camp. As a last resort, Shang Kexi even prepared to die in battle to martyr the Qing Dynasty, or to burn himself to martyrdom.
Intend.
Kang Dahai is a veteran of Dongjiang Town. He witnessed with his own eyes that in the seventh year of Chongzhen Emperor Shang Kexi took advantage of the New Year's Day meeting to arrest deputy generals Yu Liangtai and Qiu Zhentai, and then plundered Guanglu, Xiaochangshan, Shicheng, and Haiyang Islands with more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians, along with his generals.
, the history of the return of military equipment and military equipment from the five islands under his jurisdiction is really incomprehensible and unbelievable, why is Shang Kexi now ready to die for the Qing Dynasty?
But if you don't understand, you don't understand. Kang Dahai is just an illiterate ordinary guard. Shang Kexi treats him very well, far better than those high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong in the past, and better than Shen Shikui's group of arrogant and domineering generals in Dongjiang Town.
Kang Dahai was a loyal servant. Looking at Shang Kexi's calm face, he understood that King Zhishun was not ready to die for the Qing Dynasty because of temporary passion, but had already given full consideration.
"Your Majesty is determined to do so..." Kang Dahai sighed, "This slave's life will be given to Your Majesty. If you die, I will die. Anyway, during this southern expedition, I have burned, killed, looted, and enjoyed all the money and beautiful women. There is nothing wrong with it."
What a pity, life is much happier than it was in the Ming Dynasty, so what are you afraid of!"
Shang Kexi pulled out his sword. He was wearing a white cloth armor and stood on the horse's back. Against the sun, the blade of the sword shone with cold light, and he actually had the courage of a warrior who looked back upon death.
With Shang Kexi taking the lead, the morale of King Chishun's soldiers was also boosted. After the whole army entered the battlefield, they split up to attack Dashun's infantry, blocking several gaps in the depth of the trench.
At the critical moment when the Qing army was in dire straits of attack and defense, and no rescue was waiting, the soldiers of the feudal vassal joined the battlefield as a new force, effectively curbing the defeat of the green camp troops and stabilizing the Qing army's front line.
The Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers and the foreign vassal cavalry on both sides of the battle line also came over one after another for reinforcements. The galloping of the Monan Iron Cavalry injected a touch of new blood into the Qing army's defense line. After the Shun army grenadiers fiercely attacked the two groups of trembling green battalion soldiers, they stopped for a moment.
The front line was restored, morale also improved, and the overall battle situation tilted a few points towards the direction of the Qing army.
"When you see a shaved head, a battle between the soul and the buttocks, the enemy is afraid of being defeated. An army like this no longer exists among today's rogues."
Shang Kexi was particularly impressed by the combat effectiveness of Dashun's soldiers. If the Ming army ten years ago had the same attitude as today's Shun army, how could he have done it? Why did he end up where he is today?
"Did I betray Emperor Chongzhen, or did Chongzhen betray the people of Dongjiang?"
He drew his sword and personally led the palace guards to kill him. The grenadiers of the Sun Army responded with thousands of enemies. There was a loud thunder on the battlefield, and a bullet exploded, which immediately frightened the green camp soldiers to retreat one after another. It was gratifying that
They attacked from the left and galloped to the right, then dismounted and led the guards to move the ladders set up by the soldiers in the ditch, which finally stabilized the morale of the army a little.
