(Thanks to angus0423 for casting a valuable monthly ticket, and thanks to the bandits for the reward, thank you, please pay attention to the new book "Iron and Blood Fighting", thank you.)

The battle to attack Haizhou City came to an end. Although Sun Chuanting and He Renlong took away 7 soldiers, resulting in less than [-] soldiers attacking Haizhou City, the Jiangning Battalion had already controlled the overall situation. The post-gold tartars, that is, the trapped beasts are still fighting, and because of the strict external defense and cruel non-stop fighting, the post-gold tartars have long been exhausted. will know.

The battle lasted until the morning of the third day, when Hong Chengchou spoke, demanding that Ma Xianglin, who commanded the attack, must completely wipe out the Houjin Tartars in Haizhou City within one day and end the battle.

Dorgon felt that a catastrophe was approaching, even though he couldn't believe it, why did the warriors of the Eight Banners suffer such heavy losses and failures in just a few days? Could it be that the fighting power of the Eight Banners has declined? Back then, the Jiangning Camp was not so brave.

It is difficult to completely change people's thinking and understanding in a short period of time. The same is true for Dorgon. He will not accept the transformation from cold weapon warfare to hot weapon warfare in a short period of time, let alone Dorgon. Dagon, even Hong Chengchou and others, if they hadn't followed Su Tiancheng for a long time and witnessed the power of firearms with their own eyes, they might not be able to turn this corner for a while.

The law lost its temper, and all the methods of switching to it were used, but the situation could not be changed.

Of the [-] soldiers under Dorgon's command, only two days have passed, and there are less than [-] left.

If it weren't for the harsh reality in front of him, Dorgon might think it was a dream.

The children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were so brave that they galloped through the pass, so that the Ming army did not dare to show their faces.Not daring to fight, how many years have passed, Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner are one of the most valiant armies in the Qing Dynasty, they have participated in countless battles, why did they lose so badly in this battle.

The sound of shouting and killing came from outside.The attack of the Jiangning battalion sergeant began.

From the sound, Dorgon felt that this was a large-scale attack, and it was probably the most violent charge launched by the sergeants of the Jiangning Battalion. The purpose was very clear, which was to completely wipe out the sergeants under his command.

Dorgon tidied up his armor calmly, he was going to personally participate in the fight, at this point, there was no such thing as sitting in command.The last moment has come.

Dorgon felt the same pride as Daishan, that is, almost none of his soldiers surrendered, and all of them fought to the last breath. This stems from the pride of the Manchus and the honor of the Manchus.

Dorgon strode towards the outside, but his officers did not stop him, and his personal soldiers surrounded him.

After Hong Chengchou's order was issued.Ma Xianglin, who commanded the battle, was also anxious. In fact, the progress of the battle was very good.Compared with the previous ones, this battle has been regarded as a huge victory, but as the senior general of the Jiangning Battalion, Ma Xianglin knows the deployment of the entire battle, and also knows that the army cannot be delayed for too long in Haizhou.Therefore, within a day, all the stubborn Houjin Tartars were wiped out. This seemingly unreasonable order aroused Ma Xianglin's fighting spirit.

Ma Xianglin began to give orders, starting with the first wave of attack in the morning, abandoning the form of assault by small groups of troops.Use a large group of people to charge instead. This may cause relatively large casualties, but it can also defeat and annihilate the Jin Tartars at the fastest speed. You must know that the dense bullets fired by the flintlock guns are not ** at all. able to resist.

Ma Xianglin commanded the battle at the forefront.

In fact, with the maturity of the Jiangning Battalion's combat system, the previous practice of guard commanders charging ahead has been abandoned. Unless the battle is at the most critical juncture, the main responsibility of the commander is to formulate a feasible battle plan. At the beginning of the battle, command the army to attack and try to avoid heavy casualties. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion also understand this truth. If the commander charges with them and something happens, the army will lose command and the dragons will be leaderless, which will cause even greater losses. .

But after issuing the order for a large-scale attack, Ma Xianglin resolutely went to the forefront. He could even see the fight between the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the Houjin Tartars with his naked eyes.

Casualties increased significantly.

Ma Xianglin was unmoved, Master Hong Chengchou's order was very clear, the required result, since fighting, there will be casualties, some casualties can be avoided, some cannot be avoided, for the overall combat deployment, some sacrifices must be made.

While the casualties increased, the initiative was quickly grasped by the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion. Facing such an attack, the casualties of the Houjin Tartars would be even more severe.

Ma Xianglin, who hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, his eyes were red, and he was holding a telescope, watching the fight ahead motionless.

A large number of post-gold tartars rushed out of a house, which attracted Ma Xianglin's attention. From the telescope, it can be clearly seen that most of the people who rushed out of this horse were riding horses, and there were some golden ones in the middle. The helmet moves.

When fighting inside the city, the cavalry is not very powerful, and it is impossible to play a decisive role. On the contrary, when facing the flintlock, the horse becomes the target of shooting. He was dizzy from the fall, and in severe cases, he was crushed under the horse and died on the spot. Therefore, after the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion invaded the city of Haizhou, they gave up the way of cavalry warfare.

The golden helmet made Ma Xianglin excited. He knew very well that the person wearing the golden helmet in the middle of the team was Dorgon, the owner of Houjin Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, and Prince Rui. This Dorgon was the most valiant of Hou Jin Banner owner.

Putting down the binoculars, Ma Xianglin yelled and rushed forward, and the soldiers and guards around him hurriedly rushed up.

Ma Xianglin charged in person, and many soldiers knew that the last moment had come.

The swarming soldiers rushed forward from all directions. . .

Dorgon's body was carried in front of Hong Chengchou.

Dorgon committed suicide. Seeing the soldiers and officers around him fall down one by one, Dorgon knew that there was no hope of surviving. He was the most valiant banner owner in the Qing Dynasty. One of the most elite troops of the Qing Dynasty, if he, Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty, was captured alive, the news would be a huge blow to Shenyang.

Dorgon knew very well that for so many years, he led soldiers into the pass to plunder, and faced the huge killing crimes committed by the Han people. After being captured alive, there may not be a good ending.

Also driven by this kind of psychology, Dorgon chose to commit suicide.

At the same time, the injured Ma Xianglin was carried to Dorgon.

Ma Xianglin's injury was a bit serious, and he was stabbed from the shoulder blade with a knife. If the blade was a little lower, Ma Xianglin would not think about surviving, but Ma Xianglin's charge and injury greatly stimulated the soldiers. In an hour or so, it was basically over.

Hong Chengchou ordered the medical officers around him to take good care of Ma Xianglin.

Ma Xianglin insisted on not leaving the main force, and never going back to Gaizhou to recuperate his injuries. He wanted to follow the main force.

Hong Chengchou agreed to Ma Xianglin's request without hesitation.

Looking at Dorgon's body, Hong Chengchou was filled with emotion. Lu Xiangsheng led an army to capture Guangning, beheaded Prince Jinli Daishan, and led his soldiers to attack Haizhou, forcing Prince Rui Dorgon to choose to commit suicide.

The Eight Banners of Houjin, the banner owners are all extraordinary Manchus, except Duoduo, the banner owner of the Yuanxiang White Banner, who was beheaded by the Jiangning camp long ago, and there are only three banner owners left, among them are the Zhenghuang Banner and the Border Yellow Banner The master is Huang Taiji, the master of the Zhenglan Banner is Hauge, and the master of the Xianglan Banner is Jierhalang.

The Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhengbai Banner, and Xiangbai Banner to which the Manchu Eight Banners belonged have ceased to exist since then, and were all wiped out by the Jiangning battalion.

Dai Shan was the oldest prince of Hou Jin, and Dorgon was the bravest prince of Hou Jin. Both of them died, which really meant that Hou Jin's life was exhausted.

Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers to bury Dorgon for a good life, and at the same time wrote to the emperor to report the situation of the battle in Haizhou, mainly to report that Dorgon had died.

The losses of Jiangning battalion soldiers were not small. It took half a day to clean the battlefield. During the attack on Haizhou, more than 1 Jiangning battalion soldiers were killed.

But the rest time is only one night.

After dawn, the soldiers and horses were about to set off for Anshan. According to Hong Chengchou's information, Anshan had almost become an empty city. Since the Jiangning Battalion began to attack Haizhou, the Houjin Tartars stationed in Anshan had withdrawn to Liaoyang. There were less than 5000 Houjin Tartars stationed in Liaoyang. The 4 soldiers of the Eight Banners under Dorgon's command, the [-] distributed in Yaozhou and the [-] stationed in Haizhou were almost all wiped out.

At this point, Hong Chengchou has understood that taking Haizhou is equivalent to taking Anshan and Liaoyang. The post-gold tartars stationed in Liaoyang cannot resist without reinforcements. Besides, Dorgon committed suicide The news will spread to Anshan and Liaoyang soon, and as soon as that time comes, the post-gold tartars in Liaoyang will have no fighting spirit at all.

At daybreak, the brigade set off.

Hong Chengchou looked at the dusty soldiers. Some soldiers even had blood stains on their bodies. Many of the wounded soldiers only had a simple bandage. The rest of the night was mainly to sleep and replenish their strength. It was impossible to do other things. Things, his eyes are a little moist, this is the Jiangning camp, the Jiangning camp whose military orders are like mountains, if it is any other army, I am afraid that it will not be able to do this step.

The scout who sent the letter set off at night, and must rush to Guangning as soon as possible to report the good news to the emperor. (To be continued..)
