Chapter 17 The Great Avalanche
Although Zhang Jie has a thousand new Green Camp troops under his command, he feels that staying in the barracks is definitely a dead end. Even the Eight Banners of Manchuria have been defeated. What if they have 10,000 elite Han troops? Besides, they only have more than a thousand people!
But for Liu Yongxi, the situation was completely opposite. Although there were only more than a thousand reinforcements put into the battlefield, Empress Zhang’s personal expedition brought an incredible miracle. The morale of the officers and soldiers was as strong as rainbows and there was no camp that could not be captured at all!
Several camps have been besieged six or seven times but no progress has been made, but now they can be taken down as long as they decide to attack. The Ming army with a rainbow of morale is invincible, and the progress of the battle is unstoppable!
One camp after another was taken down. The first one was the newly-affected Green Camp Army. They followed the Qing army for only one or two months and collapsed immediately when they saw the situation was wrong. Then some newly-affected Han troops surrendered and recruited in the north. Then the Eight Banners Han Army and the Foreign Monarchs, and the Ultimate Mongolian Army, and the final one was the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, which were known as the invincible world.
Of course, in the midst of the great collapse, many individuals and teams of the Qing army stood up and tried to turn the tide, but in the face of the tide of offensive, these efforts turned into blood waves under the offensive. In just one hour, the Ming army had captured more than ten camps, captured thousands of Qing soldiers, seized weapons, and countless supplies. Now Wang Zhiren was extremely excited: "The Empress is worthy of being the daughter of destiny. Destiny is in the bright future. This battle will inevitably make Jianlu frightened!"
However, Liu Yongxi saw the messy corpses, flags, weapons, and mules and horses in front of him and said loudly: "Generals, it is not the time to relax now. We must do our best to wipe out the Jianlu. We must never let them escape back to Hangzhou City!"
The Ming generals including Wang Zhiren, Xing Shengping, Fu Ding and Zhang Huangyan all felt that Liu Yongxi's judgment was extremely wise. After all, the Qing army is now in an avalanche, and with just one force, it can annihilate or severely damage the Qing army in front of him.
Although I don’t know how many troops Boluo has in the south and west of the city, according to the Ming army’s estimate, it should be around 20,000, including thousands of Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers from the outer vassals. If they can annihilate them all in one go, the entire situation in the southeast will completely change. Therefore, Zhang Huangyan said: “You should annihilate them all in one go. Everyone fights on their own. If you can kill one more Jianlu, you will kill one more Jianlu!”
With Liu Yongxi's order, the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles was already bloody and bloody. Especially after Liu Yongxi personally led the horse team to fight, the situation completely reversed. Although the Eight Banners Brigade is indeed the most elite troops in East Asia, and can fight with the Ming army for 300 rounds even in mud and water, the problem is that Gushan Erzhen cannot find Niulu, and Niulu Erzhen cannot control his armored soldiers. Even if there are thirty or fifty Manchu Eight Banners performing above level, they will at most defeat one or two hundred Ming troops and then be submerged by more Ming troops. Most of the time, they will be defeated by the defeated Han army, and the new affiliated army will directly rush over.
The battle had become a battle of wind in the later stages. Hundreds of new affiliated troops had just knelt down and surrendered. The Eight Banners, the Outer Mongolian soldiers and some old Han troops fought to break through to Hangzhou, but only half of them could break through the siege.
