Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 204 Chasing and Killing
"Master Tang has an order that if you kill a Qing soldier, you can join the new army."

"Duoduo is dead, it is a good time to kill the Tartars, kill them quickly."

"Catch the shellfish, Baylor, Master Tang will reward you with a magic weapon..."

Without the restraint of the Qing army, all kinds of news spread quickly. Many people believed it and became more courageous. Some soldiers couldn't help raising their butcher's knives at the braided man.

These killers were basically soldiers from the original four towns in Jiangbei. Since Dorgon ordered a suspension of hair shaving not long after the surrender, none of these people shaved their hair.

They couldn't distinguish the real Qing army, so they naturally regarded those with braids as the Qing army, chopped off a head, and prepared to surrender to the new army in Yangzhou City with evidence.

So it ended up being a battle between braids and no braids.

But those without braids accounted for the majority, so they often fought each other to grab a head, and some officers even participated in it personally.

As for Li Chengdong, Liu Zeqing and other leaders were unable to gather the fleeing troops in the torrent of chaos, so they had to retreat under the protection of their own soldiers.

They were even afraid that the terrifying projectiles of the new army would fall on them and become the victims of Dodo, because even they instinctively believed that Dodo was killed by the bomb.

Otherwise, Duduo would not let tens of thousands of people mess up like this and ignore it.

Duoduo wanted to take care of it, but when he retreated ten miles away in one breath, when he thought about organizing his troops again, he found that the surrendered troops had become a mess.

While he was furious, his heart was also filled with horror.

The Eight Banners soldiers in his hands are only 2 in total, and it is no problem to control ten times or twenty times the surrendered troops, but now facing hundreds of thousands of chaotic troops who lost order and bombed the camp, even he, a prince with great military exploits, is also A burst of scalp explosion.

Due to the hasty retreat, a lot of various materials were also abandoned. In this case, if one is not good, he Duoduo was not killed by the bombing, but was hacked to death by the rebel army.

But he was naturally not reconciled to such a useless failure. He first organized his Eight Banners Army, and then sent people to gather and contact Geng Zhongming's and Kong Youde's troops.

These two surrendered armies surrendered to the Qing army for more than ten years, and their loyalty is much higher. It must be safer to gather these two teams first, and then use these two troops to cooperate with the Eight Banners Army to gather other surrendered armies.

The strategy is sound, but it takes time and effort, not without bloody repression.

I'm afraid Huang Hairu didn't even think of it himself. He just wanted to bombard the Qing army with a few shots, and he hardly had any hope of killing Duoduo, but he didn't expect such a surprise to come.

The scouts sent back relatively accurate news. After Huang Hairu heard about it, he pondered for a while and immediately ordered to go out of the city to pursue it.

Shi Kefa was shocked, even if the enemy army was in chaos, if the Qing army reacted, wouldn't they take the initiative to die?

So Shi Kefa tried his best to persuade Huang Hai not to act impulsively, relying on the defense of the fortified city, he would be invincible, so why take such a risk.

But if Huang Hai remains unmoved, he knows that there are risks, but the benefits are also very great.

As a soldier, when it's time to take risks, you must dare to take some risks. After all, you will rarely encounter such a situation in the future.

Therefore, he immediately led about [-] people from the Xinjun and Xu Yong's troops to rush out from the west gate and chase in the direction where the enemy army fled.

The big "Xin" flag can be seen from far away, and it didn't take long for the news that the new army came to kill it to spread quickly.

However, there was such a team of more than [-] people, not only did not run away, but after seeing the "Xin" flag, they took the initiative to approach.

Naturally, they didn't come here to fight, and immediately raised the white flag to avoid accidental injury.

Not long after, the leading general and a soldier were brought before Huang Hairu. The general bowed slightly and said, "The last general, Liu Yuan, has seen the great general."

The soldier just bowed slightly, but didn't speak, his expression neither humble nor overbearing.

A person beside Huang Hairu whispered in his ear, Huang Hairu nodded slightly at the soldier first.

The reason why he is so polite to a person dressed as a soldier is because he is really his own. The Ministry of Intelligence has secretly planted many spies in the four towns of Jiangbei.

Look for people who can instigate rebellion in peacetime, and look for opportunities to create chaos in wartime.

Li Chengdong's, Liu Zeqing's, and Liu Liangzuo's troops were able to bomb the camp so quickly and become so chaotic, which is inseparable from their secret operations.

This Liu Yuan was one of the generals under Li Chengdong's command. He hadn't made up his mind to join the new army before. After Li Chengdong's two consecutive defeats, he was already very moved.

Having encountered such a sudden change today, he no longer hesitated, and was immediately persuaded by the man dressed as a soldier beside him, and he started to create chaos in cooperation.

Only after he really stepped out of the rebellion did he realize that his lieutenant general had already been instigated to rebel.

If he hadn't agreed at the last minute, he would probably have been betrayed by now. While his heart was shocked, he became more and more in awe of the new army's methods.

So, he cooperated even more, and he was the one who took the lead in killing people. He didn't deliberately go after those with braids, but tried his best to subdue the defeated soldiers, and immediately suppressed those who didn't agree to surrender.

Many of his troops fled due to the bombing of the camp, but through this method, more than [-] people were quickly gathered.

At this time, seeing the new army going out of the city to pursue them, they took the initiative to surrender.

Huang Hairu smiled at Liu Yuan, "General Liu, you have worked hard."

He stopped talking nonsense and continued: "It's a great blessing for General Liu to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. Now that the enemy army is in chaos, it's a great opportunity to make contributions."

"I hope that General Liu can help me. In the future, when my lord comes to the capital, I will remember General Liu's contribution."

Liu Yuan quickly responded excitedly: "If you can serve the new army, you can serve Master Tang, and the last general will die."

"Okay, okay, okay." Huang Hairu laughed loudly, and then shook his voice: "Give me the flag."

A soldier carrying a flag immediately brought over a new army's "Xin" flag, and the soldier next to Liu Yuanze quickly took it.

The two of them left without further delay, and then they reorganized the army, and under the banner of the new army, quickly pursued and killed those defeated soldiers.

It can be said that now a "new" flag is more useful than thousands of troops.

The more than [-] people Liu Yuanze recruited were still in panic, but seeing Liu Yuanze go to see the new army commander and carry back a "Xin" flag, he was immediately excited and his morale was greatly shaken.

Liu Yuan shouted loudly, "Brothers, we are now a new army, and it's time to make contributions. Let me kill you."

"Kill, kill, kill..." The sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Liu Yuan chased in one direction, and Huang Hairu in another direction. He subdued three teams along the way, all of which were reversed by the Ministry of Intelligence.

For a while, traces of the new army appeared in several directions, making the fleeing soldiers even more frightened.
