Chapter 444: The Monk King's Gift

Looking back at the situation on the Tiger God Camp, in fact, before the battle began, the monks also expected that the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp would likely make common mistakes on the battlefield, and could not resist the huge psychological pressure to shoot in advance, and made arrangements early to prevent this situation. In addition to strictly ordering the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp to be allowed to shoot and fire without seeing the banner, a team of knife and axe soldiers were arranged to serve as the supervisor team, ready to kill the soldiers at any time to warn the soldiers.

The middle and lower-level generals of the Tiger God Camp drawn from the Fengtai garrison strictly implemented the orders of the Monk Prince. Zhushi and team warned the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp that they had no orders to fire the cannons first was definitely a dead end. All Shi Changgong, composed of Eight Banners slaves, also patted his chest to ensure that they would obey the orders, and warned the soldiers of the team one by one. Everything was perfect, and everything was under the control of our Monk Prince.

The only thing that our monk prince miscalculated was that the Wu army would actually fire the gun first. Although Li Chendian led his own team to fire a shot within a range of about the rest and still shot into the sky, he still used the overly nervous warriors of the Tiger God Camp to resist the pressure in his heart. He subconsciously pulled the bullet or the trigger of the gun, and fired at Li Chendian who was outside the range of fire and fired without aiming.

Then, the disaster was the first time to fight the gun on the battlefield, and he had not received any modern military training. After hearing the gunshots of his own army, almost all the warriors of the Tiger God Battalion thought that the monk had issued a fire order, so they pulled the trigger one after another without hesitation. The gunners of the Tiger God Battalion, who had just begun to learn how to operate the cannon, subconsciously ignite the lead with torches. The middle and lower-level generals who were veterans had no time to stop them. They could only watch the middle and even the tail of the fuse were ignited directly by the torches, and they could only roll and crawl away to avoid being affected by the cannon storm.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, thousands of bird guns and dozens of cannons fired one after another, which was very spectacular and amazing enough. However, our monk prince was so angry that he jumped up from the handsome chair and cursed, "Damn it! Who gave the fire order? It's useless to shoot from such a distance?!"

What happened next made the monk's nose even more angry. He was angry that his soldiers under his command did not obey the order and fired randomly. The officers drawn from Fengtai garrison stepped forward to beat the warriors of the Tiger God Camp. Some of the bad-tempered officers even drew their knives to slash the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp who took the lead in shooting. They were so scared that the warriors of the Tiger God Camp who were chopped and not injured ran away.

As a result, when he saw his companions running for life, the warriors of the Tiger God Camp, who were already extremely panicked and nervous, blindly followed for unknown reasons. They carried a musket that had only fired one shot and ran back, which affected more soldiers of the Tiger God Camp, and quickly caused the warriors of the Tiger God Camp on the front line to collapse. They shouted that the Wu army had already rushed to escape into the camp, which seriously shook and hit the morale of the Tiger God Camp soldiers, and also caused other Tiger God Camp soldiers to be in chaos before the battle, and they became even more panicked.

"Stay! Stay! On the reserve team, take over the defense line of the sheep and horse wall! Stop the running turtle lambs and cut off all the leaders!"

The army was formed too short and had not received any military training. The monk's orders were naturally not as effective as orders. No matter how the middle and lower-level generals commanded and expelled, the reserve team could not quickly go forward to take over the defense line and make up for the huge loopholes left by the front-line army. At the same time, the supervision team ran and intercepted and killed the collapsed soldiers, forcing the large number of defeated soldiers of the Tiger God Camp to jump up and down, and flee everywhere, causing greater chaos in the camp.

Seeing this, if the Wu army soldiers did not know how to seize the opportunity, they would have fallen to the level of warriors of the Tiger God Camp. Without Zeng Guoquan's orders, they would not have time to summon the people from the headquarters to join the war. Li Chendian first kicked away the Qing army envoy who was rude to Zeng Guoquan, then pulled out his sabre and roared, and directly launched a charge with more than 20 personal soldiers. He rushed directly to the gate of the Tiger God Camp with red eyes. Zhu Hongzhang, who was originally here to meet Li Chendian behind him, was the same. He had no time to obtain Zeng Guoquan's consent, and directly ordered the two battalions of Wu troops led by him to charge in combat formations, and followed Li Chendian behind him and rushed towards the Tiger God Camp camp.

A very rare wonder in the history of war appeared. More than 20 Wu soldiers led by Li Chendian charge forward, and directly attacked the Tiger God Battalion gate, which was guarded by 50,000 troops. The Tiger God Battalion army, which was more than a thousand times the Li Chendian army, was in chaos before the battle. The generals scolded and scolded, and kicked and beaten the soldiers to enter the defensive position. However, they could not stop the soldiers' shouts and shouts, fled in their heads, and even more could not stop the soldiers from firing randomly without aiming. During the ping-pong gunshots, not only did not hit the Wu soldiers, but on the contrary, some Tiger God Battalion warriors were accidentally injured, causing further chaos among the Tiger God Battalion warriors.

"Guard the gate! You must not let the Wu thief approach the gate! No shooting is allowed without orders! No shooting is allowed without orders!"

The battalion officers who came out of Fengtai garrison had their throats roared and their eyes were so anxious that they were about to squirt blood. However, the warriors of the Tiger God Camp who were on duty at the gate still shot randomly in panic, wasting ammunition in vain, and wasting the precious time for loading ammunition with the convex gun and carrying the gun. The battalion officers were so angry that they waved their whips and gave these warriors of the Tiger God Camp a chance to escape, and the front of the gate was completely in chaos.

At this time, Li Chendian and his personal soldiers finally rushed into the range of the muskets at the gate. Knowing that the opportunity was rare, Li Chendian and his personal soldiers did not rush to shoot. They just continued to advance with the bullets fired by the Tiger God Battalion. They only raised the gun and fired within fifty meters. During the firing of more than twenty rifles, they immediately hit many Tiger God Battalion warriors, and even more Tiger God Battalion warriors were killed. "The Wu thief is here, run away!"

But the bullets had such a great effect. After Li Chendian's personal soldiers threw out the bitter and sour grenades he brought with him during the charge, the performance of the Tiger God Camp warriors guarding the gate was naturally even more exciting. The first grenade hit the Tiger God Camp warriors who were shooting in front were forced to scatter the birds and beasts, and they escaped and hated their parents for giving birth to two legs. Then several consecutive grenades hit, regardless of the warriors behind the gate, basically escaped, even the Tiger God Camp warriors in the arrow tower above the gate rushed to jump down the arrow tower to escape. The camp officials were also overthrown and trampled by these warriors, and they vomited blood.

No one stopped him. Of course, Li Chendian's personal soldiers stepped forward together and pushed him hard, directly pushing down the gate that had been injured by the grenade. Li Chendian shouted again, and took the lead in rushing into the Tiger God Camp with a sabre. The personal soldiers followed closely and followed Li Chendian to rush left and right in the Tiger God Camp, as if entering a deserted place.

After rushing into the enemy camp, Li Chendian and others, who had been through many battles, knew the importance of momentum. No matter how small the number of people, they would first attack the enemy's dense and chaotic areas, roar and chop when they saw people, kill when they saw them, supplemented by grenades, blasting open the way, directly storming the enemy's crowd, forcing the enemy to escape in a mess, and taking the opportunity to drive out the enemy's defeated soldiers as free vanguards like driving ducks, and attacking the next dense areas of the enemy.

In front of such a sophisticated and cruel enemy, the Eight Banners slaves who were actually more delicate than their masters were of course crying and howling, and ran away with their heads. More people there ran there, causing more warriors in the Tiger God Camp to collapse and chaos. The defeated soldiers were surging like a tide. They overturned the baggage, pulled down the camp tent, trampled on each other, and trampled on each other. Countless dead people gathered, and the crying sounds gathered and soared into the sky.

The monks did not fail to make their own efforts to turn the defeat. They sent troops from the Central Army camp several times to launch counterattacks, trying to eliminate the rebellion of the Wu army, who dared to brush his tiger beard with just over twenty people. However, the camp of the Tiger God Camp was too chaotic, and the crowd of defeated soldiers was too surging. After several counterattacks, they were unable to fight with the Wu army. They were directly dispersed and defeated by their own defeated soldiers, and became a crowd of defeated soldiers in a daze. The monks were so anxious that they screamed, but they were helpless.

At this time, the Wu army infantry brigade led by Zhu Hongzhang had also rushed to the gate of the Tiger God Camp. What made Zhu Hongzhang and other Wu soldiers smiled was that Li Chendian had not only rushed to the gate of the Tiger God Camp for them, but the warriors of the Tiger God Camp on both sides of the gate had long known where they had escaped. The Wu army brigade rushed into the camp and directly rang the death knives of the Tiger God Camp. The warriors of the Tiger God Camp who were already terrified in the distance were even more scathing. Before the Wu army soldiers could approach, they had already thrown down their weapons and ran away. The front camp was in chaos and completely collapsed, and quickly affected the Central Army camp.

The defeat was decided, and the monk prince, who had always been aware of the current affairs, decided to lead his personal troops to move to the back camp, and kept thinking about two questions in his mind, "Why could General Tuhaitu make the Baoyi slaves into an army in one day, but I only brought out a bunch of wasteful eggs? Also, who should I find as a scapegoat this time?"

At the same time, seeing the battle situation of the Tiger God Camp on the Yongding Gate Tower, the commanded general Hui, the commander of the Beijing Defense, urinated directly. The Nine Gate Admiral was on duty. Prince Chun, the inner city, was also trembling with legs, and a pale face murmured in despair, "You can only fight the 50,000 Tiger God Camp like this? How can you fight this battle? How can you defend the capital? How can you defend it?"

Other Qing generals and soldiers on the Yongding Gate wall were also frightened. Although the Qing army guarding the outer city was a Fengtai garrison, equipped with sufficient military pay, and had relatively strict military training, they still had some experience in the battlefield. However, seeing that more than 20 Wu soldiers could beat the 50,000 Tiger God Camp, these Qing soldiers could not help but feel cold in their hearts and became cold in their jealousy, and they whispered, "The Wu thieves are all heavenly soldiers and generals? So fierce? How could we beat such Wu thieves?"

In contrast to the terrified Qing civil and military soldiers and Qing soldiers, the beggars in the capital who were watching the battle from afar cheered and cheered loudly, because the people of Zhili who had been transformed into beggars by war were very clear that after the battle, they would definitely be able to pick up a lot of good things on the battlefield, and maybe they could peel a few decent bloody clothes from the dead bodies to keep the cold. There were countless young and strong refugees who had directly made such an idea, "White-hawk soldiers are so powerful, I have to go and try my luck with them. If they can serve as jobs for them, they can not only make a living, but they may also follow them to the capital to make a fortune."

While fighting fiercely in the camp, of course, countless warriors of the Tiger God Camp began to escape from the camp very cleverly. However, unfortunately, Zeng Guoquan had already divided two thousand infantry forward and divided the troops to guard the east and west sides of the Tiger God Camp. Ding Ruchang also sent two cavalrymen to help. On the way, he blocked the defeated soldiers of the Tiger God Camp and kept shouting slogans of surrendering and not killing forcing the Tiger God Camp to surrender. As a result, some warriors of the Tiger God Camp who were trying to escape from the gaps in the Wu army's positions died tragically under the guns of the Wu army's cavalry. The remaining Tiger God Camp warriors immediately made a clever choice, put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, raised their hands, and shouted in a crying voice: "Mr. I was forced to fight against the rebel army. It was my master who forced me to fight you!"

Of course, more warriors of the Tiger God Camp fled to the Yongding Gate directly north under the leadership of the Monk Prince. Unfortunately, after the martial law in the capital was in full swing, the Yongding Gate was no longer open very much. At this time, he saw tens of thousands of defeated soldiers rushing towards him. Of course, the old prince Hui and Prince Chun, who were still a little brained, were even more afraid to open the door. Therefore, only some rope hanging baskets were put down on the city gate to pick up senior generals such as Monk Prince and Alchem ​​into the city. The remaining warriors of the Tiger God Camp were blocked outside the city. No matter how they cried and begged, the city gate said that they would not open it.

Two more battalions of Wu soldiers rushed into the camp of the Tiger God Camp, which accelerated the complete collapse of the Tiger God Camp. Countless soldiers of the Tiger God Camp shouted the slogan of rushing to escape from the camp, either fled to the two wings and were killed and captured by the Wu army, or went directly north to try to return to the city, but there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the city gate, with crying sounds shook the sky, and it was so crowded that it was difficult to get in. What chance would there be to enter the city?

At the critical moment, the monk prince helped Wu army another fight. In order to escape into the city, the warriors of the Tiger God Camp dared to hit and slash the Yongding Gate gate. In order to protect the city gate and not give Wu army the chance to enter the city, the monk prince simply suggested that the old prince Hui and Prince Chun shoot arrows at the city, splash turtle oil and throw down the torches to set fire, forcing the warriors of the Tiger God Camp to stay away from the Yongding Gate city.

Prince Hui and Prince Chun adopted the advice of the monk without hesitation. The warriors of the Tiger God Camp were also in great trouble. The soldiers of the Wu army, who were like wolves and tigers, slashed and killed them, and there were strong cities blocking the road and bullets in front, and they could not advance or retreat. They were dead in front and behind. The crowd was trampled on each other in chaos, and the dead bodies were stacked. As you push and shrug, the warriors of the Tiger God Camp continued to fall onto the frozen ice surface of the Yongding River, and finally collapsed the ice layer alive. Countless warriors of the Tiger God Camp fell into the cold river water and struggled to help. The shrill screams and desperate cries shone together, like the Shura hell.

At this time, the experienced Wu army soldiers came again. After seizing the thirty-six Russian artillery left by the monk prince in the camp, the Wu army soldiers turned the gun mouth on the spot and fired directly at the Yongding Gate City not far away. As a result, the shells hit the crowd, of course, one shot of blood, and one shot of more than a dozen or twenty lives. The warriors of the Tiger God Camp were even more unbearable, and they forced the soldiers of the Tiger God Camp, who were mostly smart, to turn around and rush back to the Wu army's position to kneel down and surrender.

Fortunately, Zeng Guoquan was greedy for the good weapons in the hands of the warriors of the Tiger God Camp, and in order to reduce psychological resistance to the enemy, he had an order to instruct anyone to surrender first, so all these smart people saved their lives and led more warriors of the Tiger God Camp to surrender in front of the Wu army's position. The Qing court spent a huge amount of money to produce good cold weapons and barely able to go to the battlefield to lift guns and bird guns, which quickly piled up in the Wu army's formation.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Guoquan and other Wu generals were of course smiling happily than the other. They all thanked the monk's prince for their generosity and kindness. They sent so many precious weapons to the self-armed army that were lacking weapons, and they would still give them good weapons! They were all like Shi Dakai, who prayed to the gods and Buddhas to pray for the monk's prince to be promoted and wealthy, and to be healthy. They continued to preside over the defense of the capital and were responsible for leading the defenders of the capital to fight a desperate battle with the self-armed army.

The rich gifts given to the Wu army soldiers by the monk prince were not only that. As soon as he put down his weapons and surrendered, countless warriors from the Tiger God Camp had already run to the Wu army general who was guarding the captives and recommended themselves, rushing to say: "General, the young man is willing to join the army to fight against rebellion and atone for his sins. The small man is familiar with everything on the ground in the capital. The imperial court's silver treasury, granary, horse trunk and arsenal are there. The young man knows that the young man can lead you the way."

"General, I am a slave of the family of the leader of the Zhenghongqi Zuo Seke Sezo. The family lives there. Everyone knows who are young. I also know that he has an outer house and an illegitimate son in the south city (outer city). He is now guarding Xizhimen, arresting his little wife and son, so that he can force him to give him out of the city gate."

"General, I used to be a military officer in the Five Cities. I know where the drainage canals in the nine cities inside and outside are and what the situation is inside. The smaller ones can lead you and help you quietly touch the city."

"General, the youngest knows that the village outside the city has more food and that place has less food. The youngest will be slaves for you and lead you the way, keeping you can grab a lot of food!"

"General, please accept me as a slave. I will lead you the way. I will help you disrupt the party. I will never frown when I go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire!"
