Chapter 63 Repression

On April 25, 2018, the house of Xu Lei, the guardian of the Youying Camp in Fubiao, Hangzhou, looked as usual, but today, Xu Lei, the head of the family, did not come to Yingmao in the camp, but instead stayed at home and waited anxiously.

After the last time, the four provincial capitals failed to suppress the suppression, a large number of Qing troops, including the upgrade and the Pacific. In this expansion, soldiers could be recruited, but most of the officers were promoted by various departments, because in the current situation, few people are willing to come and flow into the muddy waters of Zhejiang anymore.

In this case, in principle, like Xu Lei, his uncle is a confidant general under Tian Xiong, and his conscientious general of the Central Army, and his father-in-law is Yu Fen, the deputy general of the Central Army, who is promoted to the Central Army. Even though he is in the tuition, the newly promoted deputy general Chang Jingong was also an old acquaintance under Huang Degong's account. In principle, he could catch up with such a promotion express train.

However, it was under such circumstances that Xu Lei was not promoted. He was still the guard of the Fubiao Right Camp, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

What is the reason? In fact, a discerning person can tell at a glance that the reason why Xu Lei was demoted from the Extra Biao Camp to the Fubiao Camp was nothing more than that he had arbitrarily changed the Yuanyang Formation. Now that he has not been promoted, it is obvious that the court's anger has not yet passed, and his career has been affected.

However, seeing that most of his colleagues were promoted, it was impossible to say that they had no resentment. It was precisely because of this that he has been even more pampering for Li Ruixin's sister in the past six months, and even compared with his wife Yu in terms of treatment.

It is actually normal to have this. Since he learned that Li Ruixin was still alive and was in Chen Wen's position, he gradually improved the treatment of Li to make up for the abuse in recent years. With Chen Wen's victory in a row, especially after last year's war, the situation of Zhejiang Ming army swept the southeast was already established, and the difference was that the gap between the two sides' comprehensive strength was too large. Of course, the Qing Dynasty could not come up with any better solutions for this, and could only rely further on Hong Chengchou's ability. Therefore, Li's today became inevitable.

Of course, in addition to this, Li's pretty appearance was extremely outstanding among the families of the officers under Huang Degong's command, and his temperament was not as gentle as other generals and tiger girls. He had been admiring him for a long time. If it weren't for the fall of the Li family, it would be his greatest wish at that time to be married to a formal marriage.

With the combination of two people, he naturally quickly returned to the same kind of ties as before. Even at that time, Yu learned that Li Ruixin was in Chen Wenjun. His lies were not necessarily not out of love.

Xu Lei did not go to Yingmao today. In fact, in addition to setting off for war tomorrow, Li was more sick, which made him, who was already unhappy in the camp, even found a reason to stay at home to take care of him.

In the quiet courtyard where Li's mother and daughter live, the servants were already waiting for the doctor's pulse results. Even Xu Lei was walking around, anxious as if he was overwhelmed with words. However, Yu, who was waiting for the result as a result, was extremely complicated.

The old doctor here was the most famous doctor. Xu Lei spent a lot of money to invite him. Seeing that the doctor had already taken the pulse, he hurriedly went up to him.

"Mr., no matter what disease it is, as long as it can be cured, I will give you a generous gift."

Xu Lei couldn't wait, and seeing that Yu Shi's eyes made her jealous, but unexpectedly, the doctor's next words immediately poured her jealousy.

"Is it sick? No, no." The old doctor shook his head, then bowed and smiled, "I congratulated the general, congratulations to General, Mrs. Ru is happy."

"This, but it's true?"

A doctor once told him that Li could not have children. In this way, the former "goddess" turned into a hen who could not lay eggs at that time. This impression was too profound, and even to the point where Xu Lei was a little regretful when he was with Li. It was precisely because of this incident that he was so happy that he wondered if the old doctor was playing with him.

"Can I get the pulse that I have diagnosed? "

It was not just joy that Xu Lei’s doubts were more than distrust of his medical skills. The old doctor immediately wrote the displeasure on his face. If Xu Lei had not been an officer, he would have known Xu Lei’s background, so he would have left long ago.

"I dare not, I dare not. I am saying a word, but I hope the old man will let me go."

This old doctor is a famous local doctor. What’s more important is that he is also a guest of honor for Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan.

Two years ago, Chen Wen became more and more troubled, and Xiao Qiyuan had a headache because of this. At that time, he hired a famous doctor in Suzhou named Wu Youke to treat it. At first, it was fine, but the medicine was in the abdomen and the pain relieved. Unexpectedly, Wu Youke died of illness not long after, and the subsequent prescription could not be released.

The disease could not be cured, and Xiao Qiyuan could not kill himself first. He found Wu Youke's soul to produce all the prescriptions before continuing to cure the disease. He had to look for another famous doctor, and in the end the old doctor was a skillful move. With this, he was very good at speaking with Xiao Qiyuan. Of course, although he was not afraid of his background, he was in the Fubiao camp and would not make the governor's annoyance.

Besides, I think there should be no mistakes for such a famous doctor.

After receiving the prescription, I gave the doctor a reward, and thanking him for sending him away. Xu Lei originally planned to tell the ancestors of the Xu family the good news first. After all, this was his first child. If he was a male, their Xu family, especially his branch, would naturally have a descendant.

However, just as I was about to go to the ancestral hall, I saw Yu standing there blankly, as if he was in the only dead leaves on the branches in the cold winter, trembling alone.

When he got closer, Xu Lei widened his eyes and looked for a moment, as if he wanted to re-read the person beside him who had been with him for many years. It was not until a long time before he spit out the ice slashes from his mouth.

"You did it very well!"

……………………

"This group of ungrateful people."

Gritting his teeth was not limited to Xu Lei. A few days later, when the Qing army's vanguard arrived at the foot of Dalan Mountain, Wans planned to organize the heroes of the martial arts that he had invited to a lot of money as the killer weapon in the decisive battle with the Qing army. Unexpectedly, he was busy these two days and found that the heroes of the martial arts of the martial arts were no longer missing.

"When I return to the countryside, I will make the unjust actions of these dog thieves public and let them be scolded!"

Wansida is only 21 years old now. Under the influence of his father Wantai and his teacher Huang Zongxi, all the people who make friends with these people are all such people. He is willing to make friends with people from the world, and among them, he has always been like stars and moon-like existences. He is naturally furious when he is betrayed.

In contrast, Huang Zongxi has long been used to seeing such things, climbing high and low. Although he has not entered the officialdom, he has seen too much, and has become more calm.

"Chunzong, it is useless to get such a temper at this moment. It's better to do something more beneficial."

Hearing Huang Zongxi's words, Wan Sida had to suppress this tone: "What the sir said is that students will write a poem of destiny well. Even if they cannot win it, they must let the world know that we, the gentleman, have fought here!"

If you can't escape, you can't escape. Those who can come here are originally more radical among the scholars. The infamy that the Qing Dynasty had to bear was also something they were unwilling to bear. Even if you have this idea in your heart, you would not dare to say it in an atmosphere where everyone "sacrifices their lives for justice", especially today when no one in the world belongs to you, which is even more so.

Everyone wrote one after another in the lobby where they complained about each other on weekdays, and the conflicts on weekdays seemed to be wiped out at this moment. Everyone present, only Wang Jiang was still there without any intention of writing.

"Uncle Wang Chang, are you planning to be Feng's wife again?"

What Wan Sicheng said about becoming a Feng Fu was actually asking Wang Jiang whether he planned to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again. Starting from Wang Jiang's denial of his plan to quickly attack Yuyao, especially during this period, the Dalanshan Ming army became worse and worse, which made him firmly believe that this was Wang Jiang's fault that he did not listen to others. He was resentful and naturally had to understand any of his actions in the most malicious way.

"snort."

Hearing this, Wang Jiang did not refute it, but just smiled coldly, and the disdain in it did not require words to express it.

Seeing this, Wan Sicheng was even more determined to Wang Jiang's speculation that he planned to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, and immediately rushed up to fight with him, while his younger brother Wan Sida stood side by side with him, and as he said that he wanted to go up to help the boxing.

"Enough, among us, Uncle Chang is the most unlikely to surrender to the Tartars!"

Huang Zongxi shouted loudly, and the Wan brothers stopped immediately. Wang Jiang had already experienced surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, but he played Ma Guozhu with Chen Wen. Naturally, it was impossible for him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again. Even if he really surrendered, the Qing Dynasty would not accept him again.

After dispersing angrily, Huang Zongxi took the lead in walking out. This time, they only left one gate to restore the camp to facilitate defense. More than 200 soldiers who were still in the camp were waiting in the main campus. In Jianghan, he called on all his family in the camp, which finally encouraged the morale of the mourning soldiers.

The Qing army's cavalry approached, but only observed it for a while and did not launch an attack. The next day, a Qing army under the banner of the advance camp finally arrived.

Under the banner, the deputy general of the Zhejiang Admiral Biao Battalion was in charge of the guerrilla affairs of the front camp, Xu Xin just observed the movements of the enemy camp in the distance and ordered an attack. He looked absent-minded, as if he was still distracted by something else. Taking advantage of Xu Xin's observation, the new recruits in the rear camp also acted like the veterans to make the final rest, and then they started the mountaineering battle after the order was issued.

There were only more than 200 rebels in the camp, and according to the arrangement of the Ming army in Zhejiang, there were two sentries. However, when the rebels first started, the firearms team could only use bows and arrows, so the organization also chose the original version of Nantang Camp.

However, due to the escape of the soldiers, they barely organized the three Pure Mandarin Duck Formation Killer Teams and a firearm team composed of archers. That's all. What they had to face was the nearly 1,000-strong battalion at the foot of the mountain. Moreover, they had to take into account the family in the camp, so Jiang Han, who was responsible for leading the troops from the beginning, gave up the mountains and forests and decided to defend the camp.

Without obstacles, it was not the first time that we had been killed in Dalan Mountain. Under the leadership of some officers who had been here, the High-Ball Front Battalion quickly approached the old camp.

After getting along during this period, I knew that the literati behind me were not reliable characters at all. Jiang Han simply left Huang Zongxi and asked him to stay here to maintain his morale. The others rushed back to the central army hall to avoid disturbing his command of the soldiers to fight.

The archers were already in place on the ruined old village, adobe and wooden walls that were mixed with the ruins of the old village, and were intended to shoot the Qing army attacking the village from a high place. At this time, the gate of the old camp was not closed, but was wide open. Only the killer team of the Yuanyang formation blocked there was still there, blocking the Qing army's way into the old camp.

"Mandarin duck formation?!"

It is impossible for the entire camp to go up the mountain together. Not to mention anything else, the military formation alone cannot be used, and unexpected situations will block the retreat. Xu Xin is a long-time general, so he naturally understands this, so he just sent two garrisons up the mountain. The force of less than four hundred people was nearly twice that of the rebels on the mountain. Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw the rebels guarding the gate of the village, the two garrisons were immediately startled.

After the Qing army tried to improve combat effectiveness by copying the organization of the Ming army in Zhejiang to improve combat effectiveness, I didn't know anything else. Anyway, only Chen Wen's subordinates were still using the Mandarin Duck Formation in the southeast, so when I saw the formation and weapon configuration of the opposite side, these two guards who had confronted the Ming army in Zhejiang immediately remembered those unpleasant pasts.

The two of them seemed to have regained some courage and quickly led the command to form a formation and advanced.

The Qing army in the brigade pressed forward step by step and soon entered the range. With Jiang Han's order, the archers on the village wall began to shoot freely, aiming at every enemy that made them feel that they had the possibility of killing.

However, the Tibiao Battalion was the leader of the Zhejiang Green Camp. Although the veterans suffered a lot of losses when they fought with the Ming army in Zhejiang several times, the experienced officers were still there. From the beginning, the Qing army was ready for the rebels to see the defense of the rebels. At the beginning of the shooting, the sword and shield soldiers in the team immediately raised their shields, and almost instantly formed a shield wall guarding the front of the Qing army. Even though there were many gaps between them, they still blocked most of the shooting.

Arrows crackled on the shield, and from time to time, the Qing army was shot by arrows that had penetrated into the gap and fell to the ground, but it did not cause any confusion in the queue. Whenever someone was injured, the Qing army behind would immediately make up, just like when they were training and encircling small groups of rebels in the camp, there was no lack of officers' reprimands.

Soon, the Qing army of the brigade approached the gate, and the archers and musketeers of the back team also began to fight back after entering the range, which reduced the pressure on the infantry of the front team.

The distance between the two sides was only twenty or thirty meters. The sword and shield soldiers of the first row of the Qing army, under the pressure on their heads, carried their shields again, picked up flying axes, flying knives or javelins and rushed out.

"Long formation!"

With a whistle, with the assisting movement of the Qing sabers and shield soldiers, the rebels at the gate of the village instantly squatted down, with long cards and rattan cards in front, covering the entire queue behind. Just like Nantangying's performance in the first battle, it easily resisted the first wave of projections.

"fine."

Seeing this, Jiang Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and use the vertical formation to defend the projection. This is a very basic tactic in the Ming army in Zhejiang. Although it is simple, it is extremely practical when facing the Qing army.

However, while running and throwing, the Qing army in the brigade began to charge, and Jiang Han's nerves immediately jumped up again.

"Bang drum, the third-year talent formation!"

"Tiger!"

Just like during training, while beating the drum, a loud shout, and a wave of the wolf's wolves won a critical few seconds for the other soldiers. Then a complete third-year talent formation was presented to the Qing army.

This whistle of the Mandarin Duck Formation is the best unit trained by Jiang Han and the most complete whistle. Through previous diligent training, they quickly completed the transformation of the formation.

The Qing army and the rebel army soon collided at the gate of the village. Just like the battle behind the Simingshan Palace back then, facing the Yuanyang Formation, this high-bargain battalion still could not make a quick breakthrough, and was even hit by the Yuanyang Formation, which was both offensive and defensive. The gate of the village was a mountain road, which was wider, but only a few dozen meters, and the troops could not continue to be expanded. Moreover, the artillery was never brought up, and it seemed extremely difficult to enter the village.

In fact, Jiang Han realized that the Mandarin Duck Formation was actually used on the battlefield. They had the advantage of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused of being accused

However, no veteran in the queue who had seen blood was guarding here, and even the proportion of martial arts foundation was far from comparable to Chen Wen's Nantang camp. As the first archer was shot and killed, he fell from the wall of the village, and the few morale began to submerge in the sea of ​​blood.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the characteristics of the Yuanyang Formation with both offense and defense made their battles at the gate of the village very smoothly. Not to mention being killed, no one was seriously injured. However, gradually, fewer archers on the village wall fell on the village wall, some fell from the outside of the village wall, and many fell directly into the inside of the village wall, completely exposed to the sight of the queue on the side of the Yuanyang Formation.

Soon, the threat from the village wall became smaller and smaller, and the archers and musketeers from the Qing army's rear team also freed up their hands. With the order of the guard in charge, a team of archers passed through the front row of infantry and appeared behind the first row of Qing army.

"First row, squat down!"

Last year, Liu Zhiyuan used it. This was a tactic that had been trained for a long time, to fight against the Mandarin Duck Formation. As the order came out, the Qing army in the first row subconsciously squatted down, and the archers in the second row picked up their bows and shot at the almost breathable rebels.

In a blink of an eye, amid the screams, the four killers of the Yuanyang formation blocked the gate of the village were all injured to varying degrees. However, due to the lack of armor, even if they did not hit the vital points, a large number of the wounded members would lose their ability to fight. This is reasonable and expected, but it still made Huang Zongxi and Jiang Han feel scared, because they only had these three whistles in their hands!

"Ship A, retreat into the village. Ship B, Ship C, come forward!"

Retreat means giving in to the village gate, but there have been many wounded soldiers on the armored whistle, and the fear of other soldiers is also seen in Jiang Han's eyes. This whistle takes time to reorganize and restore some morale. At the moment, it can only give up the village gate.

After receiving the order, the A-Sail began to retreat, and some wounded soldiers and soldiers who had not yet retreated were immediately besieged by the Qing army, which invisibly delayed the time for the Qing army to take advantage of the situation to enter the camp. When the Qing army formed a formation and rushed into the camp, the A-Sail had retreated to the formation. Oncoming Sail B and B, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed the inside of the camp gate, and still blocked the Qing army.

In this way, the front of the Qing army, the front of the left and front of the right were rebels. In addition, due to the restrictions of the village gate, the tactics just now were difficult to implement. It seemed that they could only enter the war of attrition, which made the opponent's morale wiped out due to casualties, so that they could enter in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the clan.

It seemed like this, but once the village gate was lost, the village wall was difficult to preserve. Next, the village wall, which had few archers left, immediately ushered in the attack of the Qing army's ant-attachment, and was soon occupied by the Qing army under a huge gap in force.

"Get back, retreat!"

Once the village wall is lost, the Qing army can use its condescending advantage to shoot the defenders. If the upper and lower sides are attacked, casualties will immediately increase significantly. However, the retreat of the formation is also extremely dangerous, especially for a rebel army like them who has no combat experience.

After Jiang Han's orders, teams of mandarin duck formations began to retreat step by step, retreating to the established administrative and warehouse areas of the old camp, and the families of left-behind soldiers were also concentrated there.

But this retreat was no more than advance, especially as the experienced Qing army veterans shouted about "the bandits were defeated", their morale dropped rapidly. Teams after teams retreated one after another. When Huang Zongxi and Jiang Han retreated to the hall of the central army, there were only twenty or thirty rebels left, and they were divided into various teams, so that even a mandarin duck formation could not be brought up.

"It seems that I'm going to die here today."

During the retreat, Jiang Han was also traumatized by several knife-cutting and arrow shooting. Relying on his armor and the precious sword given to him by Qian Sule in his hand, he tried hard to retreat here. However, the sadness in his words infected everyone present.

Although the Ming army in Dalan Mountain was a rebel army, it was more like a truly royal army than other Ming armies. Four years ago, the Ming army in Dalan Mountain was destroyed, and the remaining Nantangying, which had the only remaining remnants, grew step by step in the cracks between the Qing army in Zhejiang during these four years. However, the cost of its growth was not short of the interests of the scholars and officials, and even the illegal interests were enough to make Huang Zongxi and others fight.

With such an idea, especially when he happened to meet Wang Jiang who fled Nanjing on the way, Huang Zongxi simply rebuilt the Ming army of Dalan Mountain as Wang Yi's children and in-laws.

However, in the past two months, the reconstruction has not been completed, but its momentum has declined. Now, the Qing army is less than twice as strong as its own, but it has not been able to defend even an hour, especially compared to Chen Wen's bloody battle with the Qing army for half a day, and defeated the army of the Heiba ​​camp five times more than its own in one battle. This really makes them, who think that they are gentlemen, better than Chen Wen, the scholar who is a remnant of the eunuch party, feel ashamed, guilty, and even to the point of being ashamed.

Looking at the people in the front yard of the Central Army Hall, Huang Zongxi, a complex figure who actively resisted the Qing Dynasty in history and refused to serve in the Qing court in the early years of Kangxi. In his later years, he turned into a slave under the threats and temptations of the Qing Dynasty and a series of policies to win over the Han literati and officials, was still the complex figure of the Yao Jiang Huang Xiaozi who was famous for "sting Xu Xianchun and beating Cui Yingyuan"!

At this moment, the third-rank official robe of the Left Deputy Censor who had been treasured for many years had already been broken, but Huang Zongxi's eyes were still as sharp as a sword in his hand.
