"Tuzhongtang, we can't go on like this! The losses are too heavy!"

"Sir Fei, the low-ranking staff officer has already suffered 38 casualties. The injuries are all gunshot wounds, which are difficult to treat!"

"Master Tong, this is exchanging the lives of our Eight Banners brothers for the lives of the Koreans. You can't do this!"

"That's right, there are only ten million North Koreans, so if one hundred and eighty thousand of them died, a person named Zhu wouldn't feel bad at all!"

"He doesn't feel sorry for him even if he dies! That's not his person..."

"That's right, if we exchange lives with the traitorous old Guangdong gangsters, we would admit it. These Koreans..."

After discovering that the brothers below had suffered heavy casualties, a group of commanders, deputy commanders, and military commanders who directly led troops all quit their jobs and came to Tu Hai, Fei Yanggu, and Tong Guogang to complain.

It's no wonder that they originally thought that the Korean soldiers were weak soldiers who could be easily defeated at a moment's notice and easy to deal with...

But I didn't expect that these weak soldiers who were so weak in the hands of the Li Dynasty of North Korea would be so strong in the hands of the Emperor of the Zhu family. They could even trade their lives with the Eight Banners' heavenly soldiers one to one - in fact, the Eight Banners' new army

The final loss must be more than that of the North Korean soldiers, because the North Korean soldiers still have life-saving garlic medicine!

Even though it was a one-to-one exchange, these people were still losing money!

How many people are there in the New Eight Banners now? There are only 240,000 households in total...and there are basically no large households, all are small households of three or four people, with a total population of 800,000 or 900,000. This is still absorbed

The number can only be reached after a large number of coated slaves, other households, householders, green camp soldiers and strong men from Inner Mongolia, and it is impossible to expand much further.

Because the New Eight Banners say they are slaves, but in fact they are nobles. If they are nobles, they must have some treatment. Now the flag pay is not fully provided and must be paid during the service, but Lumi still has to be given! They must also be divided into fields.

The houses and land allocated to them are still exempt from all taxes.

If there were too many such masters, there would be no need for Zhu Heji to fight them. Kangxi himself would go bankrupt!

Therefore, it is very difficult for New Eight Banners to maintain its current scale, and it is impossible to expand.

The number of North Koreans is at least eight to nine million, which is almost ten times that of the New Eight Banners! If the two sides have to exchange lives one by one, the New Eight Banners must not cry to death?

Moreover... these Koreans are not Zhu Heji's inner circle! Even if hundreds of thousands of people die, Zhu Heji will not necessarily feel distressed, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty may not be damaged. Maybe in their hearts

Still having fun!

Tu Hai, Fei Yanggu, and Tong Guogang looked at each other, and they all felt that this matter was very troublesome.

But when the war has reached this point, it will stop wherever it is said to stop?

If we stop and withdraw our troops now, won't the emperor be defeated again? The emperor is so wise, why is his military luck so bad?

And if we want to continue the fight... it is possible to fight off the seven or eight thousand Ming troops who are surrounded, but it seems that the Qing army will also lose more than five thousand!

Moreover, the leaders who were responsible for luring the enemy suffered heavy losses. They lost two thousand even if they were added together. Adding these five thousand, it was almost a one-to-one exchange.

If this kind of victory is fought twenty or thirty times, the Qing Dynasty will be victorious and subjugated.

"Tu Zhongtang, why don't you use General Weiyuan to bombard you with sugar bombs!" Fei Yanggu said to Tu Hai, "No matter how precious sugar is, it's not as precious as the lives of our Eight Banners!"

Tu Hai looked at Tong Guogang again, and Tong Guogang said: "Zhongtang, I heard from the emperor that the variegated sugar can also be used to make sugar medicine, but it is not as powerful, but if you put more, it can be used."

Tuhai nodded, "Candy is okay, but human life is not okay... Let's just fire the cannon and blast him for half an hour, then send the musketeers up for ten rounds of shooting. If it doesn't work, just do it."

Fire again!"

This means that after the cannons have blasted the infantry, the infantry has finished firing the cannons!

.......

"Boom boom boom..."

When the Weiyuan General Artillery of the Qing Army began to bombard the trapped Ming Army again, Zhu Heji was already on the front line under the escort of the First Town led by Su Zhanshan.

He was already a little anxious now. There were more than 7,000 people trapped in the eight battalions! And there was also Liu Yan, the commander-in-chief. If the whole army was wiped out, it would be too ugly.

In addition, he had just seen the "queuing to be shot" from a distance, and of course he was shocked by the progress of the Qing army.

Today's Qing army can be said to be at the forefront of the world in terms of equipment level and tactical capabilities!

Is it okay to continue to progress like this? Is this going to turn into Qing imperialism?

Of course Zhu Heji had to find a way to pull the Qing Dynasty back from the wrong route!

And when he, Su Zhanshan and Yu Xiaoqian took the reserve team to the front line, the "Ruthless Ling" Ling Zongjun had already organized an assault force and was preparing to attack the Qing army's cavalry group under the cover of night.

"What?" Zhu Heji was very surprised when he heard that Ling Zongjun said that he would use infantry to drive away the Qing army's cavalry. "Ling is a ruthless man. I know you are ruthless, but you can't act recklessly! There are not just one or two cavalrymen in the Qing army."

, but thousands... Can our battalion-level column block their impact?"

"Can stop it!"

Ling Zongjun gave a very positive answer.

"How to block it?" Zhu Heji frowned and asked, "Do you want to use rocket launchers to blast out a passage?"

"No need." Ling Zongjun shook his head, "The Qing army's cavalry has been swimming around, and the rocket launchers cannot hit them."

The Qing army's use of cavalry to block the Ming army's road was not to arrange the cavalry into several horizontal lines to block the Ming army, but to treat the cavalry as infantry. The generals of the Qing army were not that incompetent.

The Qing army's method was to disperse the cavalry into groups and keep moving, making it impossible for the Ming army's rocket launchers to aim.

If the infantry of the Ming Army wanted to cross the "low wall defense line" they were defending to support the trapped Liu Yan tribe, groups of Qing Army cavalry would launch an attack.

Because the infantry of the Ming Army could only move in three formations on the battlefield: marching columns, horizontal columns and battalion-level columns, and when they saw the enemy's cavalry coming over, they would only use hollow square formations to deal with them.

"Then what method are you going to use?" Zhu Heji asked again.

Ling Zongjun raised his fist and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I plan to use this!"

"Is this...Iron Fist?" Zhu Heji nodded, "Maybe it's of some use."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked to the north. It was already dark, and on the battlefield under the starry sky, countless torches could be seen scattered in the wilderness, and they were still swimming around. They should be the cavalry of the Qing army.

And further away, you can still see fires rising, it should be that Liu Yan's troops are being bombarded.

Judging from the intensity of this artillery fire, Liu Yan's eight battalions may not be able to hold on for long.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heji could only nod his head: "Then let's try it first... Ruen Renling, tell me, how do you plan to set up the formation?"

...

"Dong dong dong dong..."

In the darkness of the night, four battalion-level infantry columns arranged in a diamond shape suddenly lit up torches and beat military drums. They jumped out of the earthen wall that had been captured by the Ming army and originally belonged to the Qing army. They swaggered towards the enemy who had been attacked again.

After a round of shelling, the Ming army rushed to the formation where they were lighting bonfires and fighting with the Qing army.

When the Qing cavalry on the battlefield who were responsible for blocking the reinforcements saw this scene, they were all stunned for a moment.

What does this mean?

Just these four battalion-level infantry columns, I don’t know if there are 4,000 people, rushed into the area guarded by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty to rescue their comrades who were being shot? Isn’t this too violent?

Ba Hai, who is responsible for unified command of all cavalry, was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Is this because he looked down on the Eight Banners' invincible cavalry and archery?

"General," An Zhuhu, the deputy commander of the Bahai Underground, smiled and rode his horse forward to ask for orders, "Let the low-ranking Bahai cavalry go meet them!"

The so-called Bar Tiger Cavalry is actually a collective name for the Mongols or savage Jurchens who were expelled from Siberia and the outer northeast by Lao Maozi to the territory of the Qing Dynasty and gathered by General Ningguta's Yamen.

In the past two years, because Kangxi was busy with military and political reforms and attacking the Mongolian Genghis Khan Burni, he could only allow the Rakshasa people to expand in the outer northeast, and more Barhu people were forced to flee to the jurisdiction of General Ningguta.

.

Bahai took a fancy to their bravery, so he recruited some of them under his command, organized several Baerhu assistant leaders, and regarded them as his trump cards, and asked the deputy capital commander Anzhuhu to train and lead them.

Seeing his beloved general asking for help, Bahai nodded and said: "Okay, it's time for the warriors of the Barhu people to meet the elites of the rebels! However, the rebels' hollow phalanx is still a bit powerful, so you can't charge hard."

"Don't worry, General. These Barhu cavalry are very good at riding and shooting, and they are especially good at night fighting... In the extremely cold north, the nights are long and the days are short in winter. They have long been accustomed to hunting in the long nights. Today
