Chapter 29 Clear skin and bright heart
The difference between regular army and scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers was seen at this time.
A thousand soldiers in the countryside fled westward like a torrent. In this torrent, there were no impulses to be Zhang Jiayu's fifty-person soldiers and the Zhaoqing army brought by Jiao Lian.
After all, the Zhaoqing army was an army, and when he set out from Zhaoqing, Zhu Youlang's "let soldiers see blood" action did work. The soldiers had seen blood and killed people, and had a hostility in their hearts, and naturally they could calm down.
The most important thing is that the two generals, Jiao Lian and Bai Gui, had the intention of competing with the Guangzhou Township soldiers, and had long since spread this emotion to various soldiers.
Therefore, the village soldiers were defeated as soon as they touched it, which made them look down upon.
Originally, they were at the end of the team, and when the village soldiers were just defeated, Jiao Lian was also an old corps. He knew the harm of the defeated soldiers and hurriedly restrained the army to stand against the wall.
It was also a blessing for him to deal with it in time, and the Zhaoqing army was not impulsively affected by the defeated soldiers.
Seeing that the defeated soldiers had passed, the Qing soldiers rushed over. Jiao Lian waved his iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" and urged the war horse to meet him.
Bai Gui's weapons were very special, with an iron shield on his left hand and a short halberd less than three feet long in his right hand. Seeing Jiao Lian rushing forward, he was not willing to fall behind and waved his short halberd and then killed it.
The difference between Jiao Lian and Bai Gui and Zhang Hu is that they take the lead in charge, while Zhang Hu is commanding behind.
Don’t look at this small difference, the difference in the effect will be immediately revealed during the matchup.
"A general is a brave soldier." The general is not afraid of death, and his courage to join the army will be strong.
The two main generals rushed up without fear of death. The feeling of being a soldier was so excited. The life of the head generals was so precious. What a pity?
Since you have the intention of sacrificing your life, you will naturally be completely fearless.
If soldiers use their lives, their combat power can naturally be increased several times.
...
Jiao Lian, Bai Gui was very skilled in martial arts. He rode his horse out, just like a tiger entering the mountain. The highest general of the Qing army was Ding Cong, who was only a hundred households. His martial arts were usually tight? How could he be the opponent of the two of them? Jiao Lian shot one and Bai Gui pierced one with a spear. The momentum of the Qing army was immediately depressed. Correspondingly, the morale of the Zhaoqing soldiers was boosted!
In less than a cup of tea, the Zhaoqing army had already gained the upper hand and Ding Cong began to retreat.
Zhang Jiayu saw the opportunity and led his personal soldiers to join the battle group.
Zhang Hu, who was swept away by the defeated soldiers, also returned to Malai at this time. Seeing Zhaoqing army and his father stopping the Qing army, he felt ashamed and angry: "It's so shameful. His 1,000 soldiers and horses are not as good as those of them."
"Hurry up, gather the team and kill me back!" Zhang Hu hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers.
"The Qing army was defeated! The Qing army was defeated! Brothers, go back!" The personal soldiers quickly shouted loudly.
The Qing soldiers did not catch up, and when they heard that the Qing soldiers were defeated, the villagers gradually stopped. Seeing that the Qing soldiers were indeed retreating, they came to their senses. They felt that the Qing soldiers were not that scary. When they thought about the rules of the Zhang family's father and son in governing the army, how could they dare to escape? They slowly gathered together and came to the east gate.
This is the case with soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. Don’t think that fighting against the wind is not enough, but everyone can fight against the wind.
It is not easy to let him defeat the enemy, but if you knock him down and let him kick him up, he will definitely kick him hard!
Therefore, seeing that the Qing soldiers showed their defeat, Zhang Hu's rural soldiers naturally rushed over.
How could the Qing soldiers hold on now? Hundreds of Qing soldiers were instantly submerged in the sea of people and could no longer have any waves.
...
Chen Shihao did receive a secret order from his uncle, asking him to wait for an opportunity to kill Zhu Yuyue. However, Chen Zizhuang warned him that it would be best to borrow the Qing army. If he could not, he had to take advantage of the chaos and not be seen, so that the root of disaster would be left behind.
Chen Shihao knew that the matter was of great importance, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.
He hid his people in the northwest of the palace early in the morning. Because he had already done so, Zhu Yuyue had to go west and had to wait for the task assigned by his uncle.
He did not expect that his mission was completed unusually smoothly. After he killed all the Qing soldiers, he found that Zhu Yuyue had been killed by arrows. He took it for granted that the arrow was shot by the Qing soldiers.
This is the best way to save yourself from the royal blood on your hands.
"Emperor Shaowu was shot to death by the Qing soldiers!" Chen Shihao said to the township soldiers surrounding him.
He announced this conclusion immediately, which was also instructed by his uncle.
"Ah? Is this the Emperor?" A hundred households widened their eyes in surprise.
"This is Emperor Shaowu!" Chen Shihao patted his head and corrected.
"Ah? Brother, what you mean..." Baihu looked at Chen Shihao in confusion. He didn't understand why the eldest brother emphasized Emperor Shaowu. Is there any other emperor?
"Yes, Emperor Yongli brought troops to Guangzhou, Emperor Shaowu died, we will be his people in the future." Chen Shihao explained.
"Emperor Yongli?"
"Yes, this time the Qing soldiers attacked Guangzhou City. He got the news early and personally led the troops to rescue our Guangzhou people. I told the brothers this news, just because I don't want the brothers to be stupid. The new emperor just came and it was time for us to make contributions. Don't let the people of the Zhang family take all the credit. Do you understand?"
"Oh, so that's it. Brother, don't worry, I understand everything."
"Okay, carry the body of Emperor Shaowu and let's act as planned."
"yes!"
...
Li Chengyin and Luo Chengyao were very unlucky and met an opponent like Zhu Youlang.
In addition to the fierce battle at the East Gate, Luo Chengyao and Li Chengyin rushed from the palace and the north gate to the east gate respectively, but were killed by the Yongli army who had been ambushed early without any strength to fight back.
Nothing else, it is that people have already calculated your course of action early, and ambushed early on the road you must pass, shoot arrows on the roof, throw stones, and bricks. What can you do if you can't beat it? Are you in a hurry?
As mentioned in the previous article, the Qing army such as Li Chengdong were not Jurchens at all, and they were not even considered the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Apart from the small braids swaying behind their heads, it was no different from the Han people.
It is precisely because of this that their combat effectiveness and will to resist are still far from the authentic Jurchens. No matter what pressure they were under, they still had a strong sense of identity with the Ming army in their bones, and many people even "clear their skin and clear their hearts".
