Chapter 225 If it is for comfort

As a descendant of the Qi family army, he fought bloody battles in Dalinghe, and the Zhejiang soldiers were completely lost after one battle. The remaining ones were only twenty-one.

Qi Yuanzheng is one of them. His surname is not Qi, he is an orphan of a Ming army.

When Qi Jin was leading his troops, he met him who fainted from hunger on the road. Qi Jin saved Qi Yuanzheng, who was only thirteen years old.

From then on, Qi Yuanzheng started his military career and fought with Qi Jin in the south. Qi Jin named him Yuanzheng, which means that he would be an upright person.

In Daling River, Qi Jin's Zhejiang soldiers were almost wiped out. Qi Yuanzheng, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was protected by the Qi family's army to death.

As the youngest member of the Qi family army, the soldiers could not bear to let him die in battle. Along the way, they escorted him to death. So much so that the Later Jin soldiers began to think that Qi Yuan was an important general.

Little did they know that these Qi family troops who had already put life and death aside, they just wanted the Ming Dynasty to leave the last blood of the Qi family troops.

In this way, Qi Yuan survived in his life. When he closed his eyes, he saw those comrades who fought to protect himself in the battle of Daling River.

This is also why Qi Yuanzheng hated Jiannu to the core. He continued to stay in Liaodong and reorganized the Qi family army with less than 300 people.

At this time, the Qi family army in Qi Yuanzheng's hands had nothing to do with the Zhejiang soldiers in the traditional sense.

This Qi family army was a group of death-death soldiers. Qi Yuanzheng told Hong Chengchou to select warriors who were not afraid of death from various battalions in Liaodong.

Among them, many of them were orphans of war. They hated Jiannu to the core, and it was Jiannu's invasion that destroyed their family.

So, these warriors who were in love with national hatred and family hatred joined Qi Yuanzheng's team.

The entire Liaodong knew that those who were afraid of death were not worthy of joining the Qi family army. Less than 300 people selected from tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong, they plunged into Haitang Mountain.

What Hong Chengchou saw was the strategic significance of Haitang Mountain. If there was a Ming army stationed in Haitang Mountain, the Qing soldiers would be like a thorn in their throats when they attacked Jinzhou again.

The Ming army in Haitang Mountain can constantly disturb the logistics and supplies of the Qing army, especially the food and grass related to the army. Once the food and grass are robbed or burned, the plan to besiege Jinzhou will be ruined.

Before leaving, Hong Chengchou had talked to Qi Yuanzheng: "This trip to Haitang Mountain is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you will go?"

Qi Yuanzheng's eyes were firm: "As soon as Mo General closed his eyes, he saw a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and his former comrades' voice, appearance and smile. And, it was a deep hatred for blood! Governor, the soldiers under Mo General, and their families all died at the hands of Jiannu. We did not plan to come back alive when we went there. We just wanted Jiannu to know that the Ming Dynasty, the iron bones are still there, and the mountains and rivers are still there."

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be moved and personally practiced it for this group of death-death people.

Lihua Village, this place was once a mountain village. Later it was abandoned, and Qi Yuan was stationed here with his subordinates.

The soldiers strengthened the defense of the village gate, but in fact there was nothing to reinforce. The place could only rely on the advantage of the terrain. As for this village, the defense function was not very good when the enemy attacked it.

"A real man, loyal and filial, and the fault of the king and father should be repaid urgently;

Yongfang rebelled and founded the chief tyrant, and Liaoyang was willing to surrender the thief,

Why not take the opportunity to make trouble, and be a marquis and a temple to be established if you are a marquis.

A real man, defending the Chinese and foreigners, establishing the chief Zuo Zhi said to Juli..."

In the army, some people began to sing Liaodong folk songs, which was about the mentality of the people of the Ming Dynasty resisting Jiannu and refusing to be slaves to the country.

Someone followed him to sing "A man, protect his home, and does not shave his hair or leave his braids...

The head can be broken, the blood can flow, and the Han'er will not be a slave to the country that has been destroyed..."

"Report, report to General Qi, Jiannu is here. To the northwest, there are about two thousand people!"

Soon, a subordinate sentry came to report. The Qing cavalry was discovered in the northwest direction of Lihua Village.

Qi Yuanzheng sneered: "We're finally here, prepare for the war!"

Two hundred and seventy-eight people quickly formed a defensive formation, and they defended all the fortresses and waited for the enemy to make a contribution.

Yue Zhongquan and Han Ying, the soldiers under the Qi family army, were on the first line of defense. They were hitting Jiannu Pioneer head-on.

"Good guy, you're a big deal, so many people come. It seems that Jiannu is anxious this time." Looking at the Qing cavalry in the rolling smoke and dust, Yue Zhongquan and others hid in the stone forest on the first line of defense, they couldn't help but say happily.

Han Ying next to him snorted: "It's just right here, these miscellaneous people, today they want to come and go."

Yue Zhongquan nodded: "Don't underestimate the enemy, tell your brothers and follow my orders."

The light bow is maneuverable and flexible, and although the range is close, it can be suitable for ambushing.

Su Harun was a man of Qing Dynasty warrior and was known for his bravery in combat. He had always followed the Eight Banners soldiers. This time, he took two thousand cavalrymen to Haitang Mountain to destroy this Ming army, which was a piece of cake for him.

So, Su Harun didn't take it seriously at all this time. A Ming army of two or three hundred people was not even a scout. Beating them was too bullying.

Any tactical strategy is not enough. Just take people to cover it up at once, and fight quickly and resolve the battle immediately.

There was a stone forest in front, and the Qing cavalry in front temporarily slowed down. They had already vaguely seen that something was wrong here.

The top of Shilin Mountain is very suitable for ambushing. If the Ming army set up an ambush here at this time, it would be quite difficult.

"Why don't we move forward?" Su Harun stepped forward and couldn't help but curse.

"General Suha, look." A Qing soldier pointed at the surrounding mountains with a whip. It means, what should I do if there is an ambush here? It is probably a bit dangerous if we dive into it rashly.

Su Harun has never been a brave but unscheming person. He looked at the situation around him and immediately commanded the headquarters: "Go to Teng Dun!"

There is no reason why the Qing soldiers were able to traverse Liaodong. In addition to the low combat effectiveness and loose military equipment, the combat effectiveness of these Qing soldiers is indeed extremely powerful.

They truly implemented the order. With Su Harun's order, the Qing soldiers and soldiers under them all stepped on Teng Shield on the horse's back in their left hand and held the reins in their right hand to create a defensive formation.

This requires rigorous training on weekdays. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, these Qing soldiers really defeated the Ming army. This is a fact that has to be admitted.

The Ming army was an invincible and invincible army in the hands of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang or Chengzu Zhu Di. At that time, the nomadic peoples in the north were beaten by the Ming army.

However, once you live a comfortable life, your military will immediately relax. All the dynasties have been like this. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, after more than 200 years of baptism, everyone got used to comfort.

There is a passage in "The Leader of the Group" that tells our shortcomings: if you don't want your life, you have to be comfortable. If you don't have to be afraid of death, you have to be uneasy. This fatal point that has been stared at by people for many years is accurate.

The same is true in the Ming Dynasty, even including Zhu Cilang. In other words, this is a common problem shared by mankind.
