The shouts of killing all over the mountains and fields were gone, and Ao Guanhai breathed a sigh of relief tiredly. He found a piece of wet ground, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, sat down, and then used his trembling hands to lit a pipe for himself.⊥

A fire ignited not far away. It was a gentry Zhuangzi. In the end, more than a hundred Qing troops hid in it and fought stubbornly, most of them were even the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolia. These people were skilled in combat and strong in fighting. Some officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division of the New Army were killed and injured when they attacked, so they started the fire attack in anger. At this time, it was about to end. The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division who fought old wars in Shandong were on high alert. The outside of the Zhuangzi had spears like forests and arrows like rain, killing all the Qing troops who broke out on the spot.

Li Dashan, a local gentry who secretly surrendered to the Qing army, knew that he was unlucky, so he killed his wife and his family and fired. Most of the family members died of misfortune. Only some wives and concubines were unwilling to die and escaped. However, the fate of waiting for them was also very miserable. The women's stand-up team outside Yin County was their future destination.

"I finally cleared this battlefield. Unfortunately, fifty-seven warriors died. I can't explain to the banner owner after I go back." Ao Guanhai, who is already the Great Klar of the Eight Banners of South Africa, sighed sadly, took a deep breath of cigarettes, and then walked towards the field hospital set up in a rural clan ancestral hall.

The field hospital is full of wounded patients (infectious diseases will be isolated separately). Thanks to the increasingly advanced medical technology in the East Coast, the survival rate of wounded and sick people is getting higher and higher. The application of medical methods such as disinfection technology, anesthesia surgery, infusion of the bottle, painkiller drugs (opium), and other medical methods, supplemented by the help of some Chinese medicine doctors who have been "invited" to come, this field hospital set up in Xikou Town was finally barely opened.

As of today, the hospital has admitted 579 wounded people. 201 cases of surgery were performed; 32 patients were treated. Except for one person who died and three people are still hospitalized, most of the rest are fine. They have either returned to the team or moved to rest elsewhere. We can see from this that the establishment of a field hospital is of great significance to reducing unnecessary casualties and has also played a great role in maintaining the morale of the soldiers. To put it simply, more than 3,500 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division of the New Army were able to defeat the Qing army with the assistance of more than 700 heavily armored infantrymen of the Eight Banners of South Africa, with the help of more than 700 heavily armored infantry in the Eight Banners of South Africa, and this field hospital accounted for at least 20% of the contribution.

By the way, the Qing army that suddenly appeared in Xikou Town came from Xinchang County, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Sheng County through mountain roads. They abandoned armor and other armor that could hinder the crossing of mountains and ridges, and did not bring any supplies. Each person carried five days of dry food and walked along the rugged mountain roads. After going through a lot of hardships, they finally successfully arrived in Xikou Town. This was thanks to a well-known landlord Li Dashanren, who was afraid of the land division policy implemented by the East Coast people in Yin County, so he did a decisive task this time and sent his confidant family to contact the Qing army. He led him through the mountain road and broke into Xikou Town, Fenghua County, which was regarded as safe by the East Coast people.

Their internal and external cooperation actions were greatly successful from the beginning. Li Dashanren also organized his servants and joined forces with the Qing army to directly attack the regiment training bureau set up in the town on the east bank, defeating more than a hundred vulnerable regiment training officers, killing one "Pseudo-Trial Training Director of the thief", one "Vice-Chairman of the Pseudo-State Stability Maintenance Association" and three "Pseudo-Second Section Chief". After doing this, the Qing army began to entrench in Xikou Town. While building fortifications and collecting food and grass, they sent people to climb mountains to report the situation and requesting reinforcements to quickly reinforce. Thanks to the Qing army that did not trust Li Dashanren who served as the party leading the way before, he only sent two thousand people to try the waters with light clothes. The large army also raised food and grass in Sheng County.

Fortunately, the people on the east bank responded too slowly. After receiving an emergency secret report from a member of the Stability Maintenance Meeting in Xikou Town and a wealthy businessman, Huang Yi, who was still transporting tea in Fenghua County, immediately took over the command, and then mobilized the 4th Division of the newly established Army stationed in the county, the Eight Banners New Army supplementary battalion and some local regiments to train troops (imitated the local riot suppression troops established by the "Bangbang Army" in Busan, with very limited combat effectiveness), and rushed to Xikou. Then, after a day of fierce fighting, under the bombardment of artillery with no expense, the Qing army entrenched in Xikou Town finally collapsed.

Without military protection equipment, they could not fight against the East Coast Army, which had sufficient military strength and food. Chen Zhilong's troops of the Fourth Division of the New Army were old troops and often acted as vanguards during combat in Shandong. The Black Eight Banners Supplementary Battalion led by Aoguanhai was a powerful brigade. With their joint efforts and under the cover of the firepower of the artillery brothers, this unit with about 4,300 combat soldiers defeated most of the Qing army's green camps after a short and fierce battle. Then, two or three hundred people with the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia were compressed into one place. Finally, most of them were wiped out in Li Dashan's mansion, and more than a dozen others were captured, as if they were generals. They would soon be handed over to the gendarmerie for interrogation.

After annihilated this Qing army that rushed into the mountain path, the east coast army did not dare to neglect, and could only continue to stay here to prevent accidents. In Ninghai County to the south, the newly built 6th Division of the Army was also dealing with the aftermath of the landlord clan riot, which probably would have to be delayed for a while. As a senior officer of the local East Coast army, Ao Guanhai, in addition to his many years of learning and understanding Chinese, he had no obstacles in every combat meeting, so he naturally knew the news.

This time, the Qing army found a mountain road from Siming Mountain to break into Fenghua. In Aoguanhai, it was actually a serious matter. Because this means that the Qing army has found a new breakthrough, and there must be more than one small road in the mountainous area. It is hard to say where the Qing army will attack next time. Could it be that their troops must be nailed here all year round? Isn’t the Yin County, which is now only hundreds of East Coast Army guarding, so it is extremely empty? Chief Liu of the Shangguo Kingdom is afraid that the more than a thousand students stationed in Dinghai County will be transferred here?

Those who learn to be a good man have also seen them. To be honest, they have only seen their elite level in their lives. Almost everyone is equivalent to a senior non-commissioned officer. If they are the basics, they will actually form combat effectiveness very quickly. But I am afraid that Chief Liu will not dare to do this, because this seems to violate the "organizational discipline."

There is still a shortage of soldiers and generals! Ao Guanhai sighed and turned around and walked out of the field hospital.

The sky at the mouth of the stream is very high and blue, just like the sky in my hometown in South Africa. However, the land here is much fertile than South Africa. The water source is incomparable to the arid hometown. In short, everything here compares South Africa. The service period is over in two years. It goes without saying how to choose at that time. The Eight Banners of South Africa really has no prestige, and it is meaningless to be the son-in-law of the banner leader. After fighting for several years, I have seen the vast world outside and the civilized and prosperous society, and naturally I feel that everything on the arid and barren grassland is lacking.

After retiring, I could obtain the official nationality of the East Coast Republic of China by virtue of my achievements. However, I was not interested in the strange East Coast Republic. Instead, I had more feelings for the Far East, which had been fighting for several years. If possible, I would still stay in the Far East to settle down in the Far East - of course it was unlikely that it would be Ningbo, but I should have gone to the Heishui area to live with veterans who had retired from the army - since then I became a colonial resident of the East Coast Republic of China.

There was a sound of horse hooves in front of him. Some officers from the Sixth Division came to the hospital to visit the wounded and sick. They saluted Ao Guanhai, and then rushed into the hospital, while walking while talking about the military situation. Ao Guanhai knew what they were talking about, it was nothing more than the news that the naval gunboat brought back from the Baling County area.

It is said that since the Qing army defeated the Dashun army in Dengzhou, it began to attack Huguang. Their fighting style was the same as when they first entered the pass, when the Manchu army was overthrowing the formation and the Green Camp acted as the main force of combat. They fought fiercely with Liu Fangliang's troops from the Dashun Left Camp, which is now 200,000 to 300,000 people, and Yuan Zongdi's troops from the Right Camp. Both sides fought first in Xiangyang, then fought again in Gucheng, three battles in Chengtian Prefecture, and the Shun Army was defeated in three battles and three defeats. Tens of thousands of troops were lost, not to mention the city and land lost, the left and right camps were also cut off by the Qing army. At present, the left and right camps have retreated to Yunyang Prefecture, and the right camp has retreated to Jingzhou Prefecture.

However, the Shun Army was not without military achievements. At least the Manchu army took action to reverse the situation at critical moments several times. After accumulating many times, hundreds of soldiers were lost. In addition, the number of non-combat factors reduced the number of troops. The Manchu army entered Hubei for only a few months, and the losses had exceeded one thousand, which made the Tartar court, which had now lost some of the supplements outside the pass, feel heartbroken.

The above mentality will naturally affect the ideas of the people below. In addition, the Manchurian soldiers have become no longer as strong as they were in the past for several years. Now facing the large number of Dashun Armed Group and built in some key areas, it is also a question whether the Qing court can win easily as easily as before. After all, the left and right battalions of Dashun are still about 200,000 soldiers, and the former battalions of Gaoyigong also have 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and it is not easy to destroy them. All they can do now is to concentrate their troops and advance slowly. We must not let the Manchurian army suffer the major losses in the fierce battle with the yellow-clad thieves that year.

The situation faced by the Qing army in Sichuan was similar to that of Huguang. The Qing army, led by the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, Wu Sangui and other Han troops, entered Baoning Mansion through Hanzhong, and fought with Zhang Xianzhong's troops who led the troops to fight here. Zhang Xianzhong's army was defeated in this battle, but he was still defeated by the superior Qing army, especially the thousands of horses dominated by the Manchu Zhengbai Banner, defeated Zhang Xianzhong's central army in one battle. Zhang himself was injured, and his adopted son Ainengqi fought to death and died in the rear. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and retreated to Chengdu Prefecture.

However, the Qing army suffered considerable losses in this battle. Hundreds of people were killed and injured in the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. Li Guohan, Gushan Ezhen, Wu Sangui, and others also suffered thousands of casualties. In addition, some heads who were eager to look for the Ming Dynasty were rushing to rebel, and the Qing army could not pursue them for a while, objectively giving Zhang Xianzhong a chance to adjust his deployment. However, if the situation was corrupt, Zhang himself had obviously lost the power to turn the world back. What he could do now was just to survive.

"These Ming army, Shun army, Western army, etc., have too much combat power. They can't even have the advantage when fighting against the Green Camp. The warriors I brought from my hometown, after putting on heavy armor, if they set up a battle formation, the number of people on both sides is similar. If we fight these Green Camps, our army can win eight times ten times. I really can't figure out how they fought, and they actually lost consecutive battles!" Ao Guanhai shook his head, a little confused: "Maybe they are not very sufficient in the arms, food and grass, and their morale is very low, and the local government has no support for them at all? Perhaps there is also the factor of the attack of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. Although I disdain, I cannot underestimate these Manchu and Qing fake flags. If the two armies are at a stalemate, these people will find the right opportunity and entry point and fight from behind. Maybe they can turn the situation around in one go. If the warriors under my command face each other, they will probably not be able to get it..."
