Chapter 273 The fearless Tiger Ben army seeks the moon
Oboi gradually realized that the situation was not right.
The addition of the Eight Banners soldiers should have the effect of a final sound, so why did they become anxious while fighting?
Moreover, the morale of the Ming army seemed to be very high, not like Emperor Yongli had just run away.
Oboi immediately told Hong Chengchou about his concerns, and Hong Chengchou also felt something was wrong.
"Old Hong, we won't let anyone cheat, right?"
Obai frowned and said, "Maybe Yongli didn't run away at all?"
"But an army obviously fled to the mountain, and Hu Quancai also sent someone to chase him."
"What if it's a stand-in?"
Oboi was not a reckless man, he immediately raised a possibility.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, either."
Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "But now that's the matter, we can only watch it first."
Aobai sighed: "I am afraid that the thieves deliberately divided our troops, so that we will have no advantage in the frontal battlefield."
Hong Chengchou thought to himself that they still underestimated Yongli and believed that he was a master who ran away when something went wrong.
In fact, judging from the various signs in the past two years, Yongli is a very tolerant and very strategic monarch.
In comparison, Emperor Shunzhi was much worse.
"It's okay, with Lord Ao here, it's only a matter of time before he can defeat Li Ding's troops. At that time, the Ming army besieged on the mountain was slaughtered by the fish on the chopping board.
Obai thought about it carefully and seemed to be the reason. The Ming army's move was actually a bet. Li Dingguo, who had won the bet, could rescue the Ming army's partial division on the mountain in time. If the bet lost, the Ming army on both sides would die together.
After thinking through it, Oboi's mood calmed down a little.
...

"Brother Xuzi, the Tartars are attacking again!"
Li Shitou's face was obviously much more anxious than before. In terms of the number of people, it was several times more than theirs.
They kept walking up the mountain to attract the attention of the Tartars and gain local advantages for the Emperor and King Jin.
This is a dangerous move, but it is also the only choice for the current situation.
As the emperor's personal choice, Zhao Xu was very conspicuous and eye-catching in a golden armor.
He raised his hand and said, "Don't panic, this mountain road is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the number of Tartars will not be used for a while. As long as we drag it, we will get support when His Majesty and King Jin defeat Hong Zhe and Ao Zhe."
"That's the case, but can Your Majesty defeat the main force of the Tartars in a short time?"
Li Shitou complained.
"Why, you don't trust Your Majesty?"
"No, how dare I distrust Your Majesty."
"Stone, you must remember that without His Majesty, there would be no today of us."
Zhao Xu said earnestly: "Do you still remember the youthful appearance when we first entered the military camp? If His Majesty hadn't been supporting him, how could you and I have made a name for themselves?"
"Oh, Brother Xuzi, stop talking, I know I'm wrong."
Li Shitou said helplessly: "We just want to die, right?"
"With death, with me, Zhao Xu, I, will not let the Tartars take a step forward!"
Zhao Xu's confidence is not blind. Although the number of Hu Ben Army is not superior, the advantage of firearms is not ordinary.
Under such terrain, the power of the flintlock gun can be maximized.
"If the Tartars rushed over, they would first use grenades and then fired them with flintlock guns. I don't believe that the Tartars were not afraid at all!"
"Abide by the order!"
...
...
"Gao Zhifu, what are you waiting for? Yongli, the pseudo-Emperor of the Canming Ming Dynasty, is on the mountain. Send someone to rush up and capture him alive."
Hu Quancai was hesitant when he saw Gao Tianjue hesitating, and he was so angry that he was not angry.
He had to pretend to be a grandson in front of Hong Chengchou and Obai, and he had to shake his majesty in front of Gao Tianjue.
Gao Tianjue scolded in his heart, and you would shout here, why don’t you go up by yourself?
I'll send troops to rush, and it's yours to rush down. If you can't rush down, you'll take the blame.
"Governor General, the lower officials are worried about the Ming thief's firearms. Didn't Lu Guisheng say that the Ming thief's firearms were purchased from Taixi, which was very sharp. I'm afraid that the strong rush under this terrain will cause heavy losses."
"I said Gao Zhifu, why are you crazy? Even if you suffer a heavy loss, you have to rush for me! The person on the mountain is Yongli, Yongli! If you capture Yongli, it will be a great achievement and you will not have to worry about the rest of your life. At that time, this governor recommends you as the governor, and I believe that Hong Jingluo will also speak well for you.
Faced with Hu Quancai's pressing step by step, Gao Tianjue had to bite the bullet and agree: "Governor Xie, the Governor, will be ordered to charge."
Gao Tianjue couldn't stand it anymore when he was a senior official.
"If you pass the order, the entire army will attack. Those who capture Yongli alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"
...
...
"Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps... The stone is now, ordering the throwing of grenades."
Zhao Xu had been observing the movements of the Qing army. Seeing that they finally launched a charge, he rushed to Li Shitou on the side and ordered.
"Get orders!"
Li Shitou responded crisply, and then ordered: "Grenade!"
The soldiers in the Huben Arms and Firearms Battalion were well-trained and threw the few remaining grenades at the charge of the Qing army.
The amount of firearms consumed in this war was much faster than they thought, but it would be worth it if they could win the battle.
Several grenades drew a wonderful arc in the air and then fell into the dense Qing army formation.
The mountain path is very narrow, and although it is not as difficult to climb as Hailongtun, it is almost the same.
The Green Camp soldiers gathered together, and the grenade explosion exerted its maximum power.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came, and the Qing soldiers were blown away one after another.
Those with better luck rolled down on their companions, while those with worse luck fell directly down the mountain.
Although this mountain is not too high, it will definitely be lifeless if it rolls down like this.
The Qing soldiers were all so scared that they were no longer looking.
They had experienced the power of this thing before. The effect of being bombed by him was similar to that of being bombarded by artillery, and they were all dead without a complete corpse.
If you ask what is more terrifying than death on the battlefield, you must be dead without a complete body.
When the Qing soldiers thought of their bodies being blown up, they felt trembling and some timids even vomited.
Seeing that the Green Camp soldiers stopped moving forward, Hu Quancai urged: "Master Gao, what's going on? Can some small tricks from the Ming thieves stop the pace of the army?"
Zhou Peigong also spoke from the side, "Yes, Gao Zhifu, it's hard for the Governor to speak well for you."
Gao Tianjue thought to himself that I don’t need to let you speak up, you two are singing a double act in front of me.
"Don't worry, the Governor General, please urge them to come forward."
After saying that, he stepped forward and rushed to his personal soldiers and ordered: "Order the military and legal team to come forward and supervise, if any escapee is killed on the spot."
Since the temptation is not good, we can only be tough.
Hu Quancai was so tight that it would be difficult for Gao Tianjue to explain if he didn't exert his strength.
