(Thank you for your monthly tickets from Xingchen and his friend szshxzh yesterday~~)

After a row of mines exploded, in addition to Ha Shan's death on the spot, more than 200 Qing soldiers lost their lives. In an instant, the military formation was in chaos. Amid the panic and panic shouts of ambushing, the Qing army could no longer maintain its complete formation and fled in all directions.

"Battle! Beat me hard!"

Huang Hai waved his hand violently.

"Bang bang bang~~"

The sound of gunfire like fried beans burst out, and the smoke filled the hillside was filled with smoke. The Qing army was completely in chaos. No one could have imagined that the bandit army would sneak into the ambush between Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou, and it was a newly defeated army. The morale was low, and I couldn't figure out how many people the bandit army had come, and where there was still fighting spirit.

"Ah! Ah!"

A group of women were so scared that their faces turned pale, they pulled their necks and screamed, hugging each other, but no one paid attention to them, and the Qing army fled in all directions.

Although beauty is beautiful, its own life is important. Even because of the hasty escape, there is no time for a final blow.

"Boom! Boom!"

In the Qing army, another grenade exploded. After the bandit soldiers fired the gun, they no longer used the second round of ammunition, but instead raised their bayonets to rush down the hillside, throwing grenades from time to time.

In combat in complex terrain, grenades are better than artillery shells, and the maximum damage radius of fragments can be about twenty meters. However, the Qing army squeezed into the narrow mountain road and it was difficult to disperse for a while. If one is thrown out, it can at least kill and injure several.

The battlefield was full of flowers. The Qing army was indeed scared and had no intention of resisting. The Xuanfu behind was also closed, and no soldiers left the city to support him. This battle was much easier than expected. When Erju brought people to encircle from the rear, the dust had already settled.

To the expectations of the personal guards, the Qing army actually surrendered.

Knowing that the fallen bandits were dead but surrendered, it shows that the will of the Manchus was not as strong as they showed. In fact, Li Xin never thought that the Qing army was so strong that the Jurchens were not as strong as they were. What was the one who boasted about the Qing Dynasty himself.

Although the Ming army has no elite troops since the Qi family army was destroyed in Liaodong, looking at the battles, the root cause of the repeated defeats between the Ming army and the Qing army has little to do with grassroots soldiers and equipment training. The main reason is that the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death and drink too hard to fight, and often collapse before fighting.

The officers make money, so how can the soldiers below work?

Looking at the speed at which the Eight Banners lose their combat power, it is unprecedented.

Generally speaking, as peace continues over time, the combat effectiveness of the army will inevitably decline. This is a global problem. Without war, no one can keep the army strong combat effectiveness, even the US military is no exception.

However, the combat effectiveness of the army in other dynasties declined slowly in a slope, while only the Qing Dynasty fell sharply in a cliff!

During the Shunzhi period, the Eight Banners soldiers fought south and north, but by the Three Feudal Rebellion, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners was already terrible. Then, the Punishment of the Junggar, which took more than a hundred years to survive the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties. After that, the Green Camp also collapsed. Then the Hunan Army and Huai Army quickly became corrupt. There has never been such a precedent in Chinese history, one army after another, corruption of cliffs.

This is definitely a system issue.

After a moment, Li Xin came with thousands of troops, Huang Hai stepped forward and said, "Fortunately, he killed 1,668 enemies in this battle, captured 513 people, and 15 casualties in our army. There was a woman in the city who was enslaved by the Qing army."

"Okay, good job!"

Li Xin nodded in encouragement and looked at the women.

These women didn't know Li Xin, but they knew they were big shots. They looked at them with their beautiful eyes with tears in their eyes, hoping to be liked by Li Xin.

Li Xin asked: "Where are the eight major Shanxi merchants?"

The women looked at each other, and one of them came out, Yingying gave a gift: "My surname is Wang, and her father Wang Dayu. Since the siege of the city, Ha Shan has confiscated all the property of the Han people in the city, and the woman has been plundered as slaves. Huang Yunfa's uncle was beheaded on the spot because of objection. My concubine was humiliated by the Tartars day and night. It's really miserable... Wuwuwu~~"

As he said that, he covered his face and started crying.

Needless to say, Li Xin understood that even if the Eight Great Shanxi merchants were not killed by the Qing army, they died under artillery fire. These women were obviously the wives, concubines and daughters of the Eight Great Shanxi merchants. They thought that they had given them a chance, but the Eight Great Shanxi merchants ignored their kindness and were skinned and cramped by the Manchus. They couldn't help but say in their hearts that they deserved it.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the Qing Dynasty had begun to be internally transformed due to a series of failures. Now it is only the Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou. If Dorgon returns with great defeat, it means that the Qing Dynasty's efforts to open up living space are in vain and cannot be plundered from the outside. Manchu nobles can only bully the Han people madly at home. Over time, there will be chaos within.

After all, fighting for hegemony is a path of no return. If you embark on the road of hegemony, you will never be able to turn back. You will either reach the top or die.

Li Xin did not mean to directly destroy the Qing Dynasty. After all, the rabbit was anxious and bitten people. Because Li Xin used the most cruel means to the Manchus. Even if the Manchus surrendered, they would be a minority. It would not be a common phenomenon. The counterattack before the destruction of the country must be extremely fierce. He did not need to let the soldiers die in vain. He only had to block the living space of the Qing Dynasty and let them kill each other in despair.

As for the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Li Xin said that he could be granted a conditional pardon, which was just a strategy. His purpose was to provoke the Han people and the Manchus to kill each other. After all, without the surrender and surrender of the Han people, how could he be able to make the world come true with just a few hundred thousand Manchus?

For them, the Han people in Liaodong may have various reasons for their surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but for the entire Han people, they are all sinners. Even if there are living people in the future, Li Xin will be exiled to North America.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has not a small population but too many. After Liaodong is empty, he can issue preferential policies to attract down-and-out Han people to reclaim wasteland in Liaodong.

"Huang Hai, you can place these women."

Li Xin looked back at Huang Hai and said.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Huang Hai was very happy and bowed.

Get the telescope!”

Li Xin stretched out his hand to the side.

Huang Hai quickly handed the telescope on it. Li Xin took it to the top of the city and looked at it. There were not too many defenders, about a thousand, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, with faces full of fear.

Erju leaned over and said, "Commander-in-Chief, should you persuade the surrender first?"

"No need!"

Li Xin waved his hand: "When the two brothers came over and shouted, the Han people in Xuanfu who killed Manchus and opened the city to surrender, they could forgive their sins!"

"Get orders!"

Huang Hai immediately arranged two loud soldiers to come forward and shout with loudspeakers. In a moment, the city was in a melee. Even though it was several miles away, the shouts of killing could be heard.

After about half an hour, the thick city gate of Xuanfu slowly opened, and only dozens of people came out, covered in blood. Some of them were missing arms and legs, and they knelt beside the road.

Huang Hai couldn't help but exclaim: "Commander-in-Chief, this is a tragic victory!"

Erju took a deep breath and said, "Commander-in-Chief, in the future, I will feel that this method can be used to kill each other!"

I have to say that Erju was very thorough in Li Xin's thoughts. At the same time Li Xin ordered, he guessed Li Xin's idea. It was obvious that Xuanfu had proved that this method was feasible.

"Let's go, let's go into the city!"

Li Xin waved his hand.

A strong smell of blood came out of the door hole. When I went in, I saw that there were indeed corpses everywhere!
Chapter completed!
