Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Chapter 325: The Dust Settles and the Nian Bandits Are Completely Wiped Out

From the blocking battle, to the pursuit battle, and then to the current encirclement and annihilation battle, the Nian Army has been getting more and more unlucky. It has been completely led by Liu Ye's deployment and has fallen into a completely passive situation. The Nian Army of more than 10,000 people is now exhausted and has long lost its original sharpness and morale. It can only struggle to hold on between the southern foot of Huilong Mountain and Limao Mountain, hoping to break through the encirclement of the Qing army and escape.

But, how could it be so easy now?

Although the Qing army was also tired, it was now in high spirits and pressed forward step by step. Within a radius of ten miles, the entire area was blocked by the Qing army, and the final encirclement and annihilation battle began.

Especially Senggelinqin's cavalry. Although this cavalry did not have the powerful combat power of the Korchi Iron Cavalry, it was Mongolian cavalry after all, and was good at riding and shooting. Under the command of Senggelinqin, it was definitely not something that the mob of the Nian Army could resist!

Attack, attack, attack!

Senggelinqin was personally in charge here, launching an attack on the Nian Army, draining their combat power bit by bit. Han Laowan was like an ant on a hot pan, running around anxiously, but still could not break out of the Qing army's encirclement. He could only watch his army being eaten away bit by bit!

For two days and one night, a full two days and one night, the entire Huilong Mountain-Limao Mountain line was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere!

In the end, under the siege of the Qing army, over 10,000 Nian soldiers were killed. Han Laowan was captured alive by the fierce general Luo Bicheng, and Han Rang and others all died in the chaos. Without the command of their generals, the Nian army scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. Except for a few who escaped into the mountains, all of them threw down their weapons and surrendered!

A great victory, a complete victory!

This great victory was definitely a huge victory achieved by the Qing court in recent years. In one battle, the main force of the Nian Army, numbering more than 20,000, was completely annihilated, with heavy casualties. This caused a huge damage to the strength of the Nian Army and seriously damaged its vitality. From then on, I am afraid that Shandong would no longer have any bandits, let alone Nian bandits. Such a huge victory had an unimaginable deterrent effect on the bandits in Shandong!

Senggelinqin's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. This was a complete victory. This battle would definitely wash away the defeat he had suffered in Tongzhou. This was war. As a general, as a commander, you must show your strength with a decent record. Only a series of victories could give you the strongest confidence!

"Your Highness. Congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations to Your Highness on your great victory!"

Shengbao, who was riding a horse, laughed at Senggelinqin.

"Ke Zhai, you're too polite. You played an indispensable role in this battle. Without your timely interception, it would not have been easy to completely wipe out the Nian Army. This time, the court will commend you for your merits, and you can't escape!"

Senggelinqin bowed slightly to Shengbao and smiled as well.

Shengbao smiled and said, "Alright, Your Highness, let's stop bragging. This time, it's all thanks to Liu Ye. Without his brilliant plan, how could we have surrounded the Nian Army in one fell swoop? If it weren't for Liu Ye's resolute defense of Jinan City, our ambush would have been in vain. This boy is quite good, a talented general!"

Senggelinqin became even more proud. After all, Liu Ye was promoted by him. The greater Liu Ye's achievements, the more face he would have as his mentor.

Senggelinqin smiled and said, "Okay, I know this guy has made great contributions, but didn't you see Liu Ye is still in Jinan City? Why? He wants to pass on the credit to you and me, Kezhai. This is a big favor. We owe this guy a lot..."

Shengbao nodded slightly. This kid Liu Ye is becoming more and more tactful. He is so generous and unobtrusive in giving favors. It is really rare. If he gets into trouble in the future, he can't just stand by and watch!

"Okay, let's stop talking and go back to Jinan. Leave the Green Camp here to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you go back to Jinan City!"

Senggelinqin reorganized his troops a little, and Zhu Hai brought Gao Qi, Luo Bicheng and others to meet the King of Monks and Commander Ke.

Senggelinqin asked: "Zhu Hai, is your governor really so confident in letting a few young people like you command such a crucial battle? He is really willing to let it go..."

Zhu Hai smiled and said, "Your Highness, our Governor is like Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, planning strategies from within the tent and winning battles thousands of miles away. They are just a bunch of Nian bandits, so there is no need to bother him with his presence. We brothers are enough!"

Shengbao was surprised and said, "You brothers are really not modest. You think you are enough? Do you think you are all monsters? Look at you guys, you are not even as old as the rebellious son in my family..."

Gao Qi, standing by, laughed and said, "General Ke, you don't know this. Our master didn't intervene in this battle at all. He completely handed this blocking battle over to Xiao Hai. All the deployments were organized by Xiao Hai. Hehe, if our master had taken action, I'm afraid that before your Green Camp soldiers arrived, the Nian Army would have been completely wiped out..."

amount……

Senggelinqin and Shengbao looked at each other in shock. It turned out that it was not Liu Ye who was giving remote commands, but this kid who was just a hands-off boss. He even handed over the battle deployment to them. Moreover, these young people did a great job. With only two or three thousand people, they withstood the crazy offensive of the Nian Army and even dealt a heavy blow to the Nian Army. This was really rare!

Senggelinqin sighed, "What a pity! Damn Liu Ye, he's so lucky! All the good people have been won over by that bastard. If we had just two or three such talented Nian Army soldiers under our command, why would we be so embarrassed when facing the Nian Army?"

Shengbao nodded in agreement. These young men in front of him were full of murderous intent. They were calm but also fierce. They were definitely talented people with both wisdom and courage. It would be great if I could have such a talent under my command.

Gao Qi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, how can we brothers be considered talented? You already knew us when we were in Tianjin. Are we that capable? It's all thanks to the good teachings of the Governor. Otherwise, we would probably still be the ignorant new recruits we were back then..."

Gao Qi was right. Back then, although this group of people had some potential, they were members of the Green Camp after all. No one discovered their abilities. They were just rookies who would run back as soon as a battle started. Only a rejuvenation expert like Liu Ye could quickly train them into top-notch warriors!
