Cutting 1719

Chapter 124
More than ten miles outside Changsha City, the camp of the Qing army had already been set up. Countless tents were strewn about, and there were green battalion soldiers in livery everywhere, each holding a knife and gun in their hands. The atmosphere was extremely chilling.

"cut!"

A general of the Green Battalion wearing a uniform with a pale face forced out a line of words from his mouth. Following his order, a row of Qing soldiers were tied to the pier and couldn't move, and then they were chopped off with a knife. head.

The other officers and soldiers of the green battalion looked at this scene, and felt a chill in their bodies, and their bones couldn't help shaking. Although they didn't know the people who were chopped up above, they also knew that these people ran from Yuezhou and Changsha a while ago. Brothers from Green Camp who are back.

Except for these soldiers who had their heads chopped off, the magistrates and magistrates who ran back from Changsha were not much better. They were detained in a camp alone. When the screams were heard, these officials were also trembling with fright.

No one is not afraid of death, especially the current way of death is a bit useless.

A small official leaned in from the outside, first glanced sideways at the crowd, then focused his gaze on Gao Chong, the prefect of Changsha, and said unambiguously, "Master Gao, come with me."

Gao Chong, the prefect of Changsha, sneaked out of the city with his wife and children before the Fuhan army arrived, and did not stay in the city to organize the people to resist. It was captured.

But in the eyes of Yang Lin, the newly appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, everyone can be killed. If it weren't for these idiots who abandoned the city and fled, how could Changsha fall?With the advantage of the enemy's city defense and artillery, how can this city be captured?

Thinking of this moment, Yang Lin felt a bit more headache. He hated the governor of Hunan, Zhang Chang'en, for being an idiot who lost [-] troops in just a few days, and secretly blamed Emperor Kangxi for some bullshit orders. If the two armies entered Hunan one day earlier, how could the war situation have deteriorated to this point?

Fortunately, Zhang Chang'en was taken away by the gang, and she had to come out to wipe his ass. Yang Lin looked angrily at the prefect of Changsha in front of her, and vented all the anger in her heart.

"Gao Chong, the prefect of Changsha, escaped from the battle and caused the fall of Chongcheng. He deserves to be punished. Pull me down and cut him down!"

The guards on the side dragged Gao Chong out. He could not stand still at this time, and he just kept shouting: "My lord, I have already realized my mistake. Give me a chance to repent! Yang Lin, I am the court fourth. Commander, you have no right to kill me."

The sound gradually faded away, and after a while, with a scream, Gao Chong's head was chopped off and hung on the flagpole.This scene made these big and small officials tremble, and some even knelt on the spot and peed their pants.

This guy really kills without blinking an eye!Looking at the headless corpses again, many people trembled a little. A person with the highest official position present was killed to sacrifice the flag. What are the others?
At this time, all the officials in the vassal yamen and the official yamen in the camp couldn't help wiping off cold sweat, and the inspector who had a good relationship with Yang Lin on weekdays said cautiously: "My lord, this Gao Gao is at least a fourth-rank official. Now that he is killed like this, how should he explain to the court?"

Yang Lin sneered, pointed in the direction of Changsha City with his finger, and said loudly: "If Changsha cannot be captured, then you and I will not have to explain to the court!"

When everyone thought of this huge monster right in front of them, they couldn't help but shuddered, and just sighed a few times, when will this kind of day be the end?

Ning Yu returned to Changsha City, and checked and made up for the deficiencies in Changsha City's defense. There were also many young officers who followed him. The big guys all had clean and neat short hair. This was the result of shaving their hair. Spiritually, the overall appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of Ning Yu's previous life.

These officers are all newly promoted staff officers of the Division Staff Office. Most of them are drawn from the front-line combat units and then go to a short-term special training class for officers. After the special training class completes their studies, they will be concentrated in the division headquarters After serving as a staff officer for a period of time in the staff office, logistics office, etc. of the division, the council officer will be promoted to the next level to be the military chief officer of each regiment and battalion below. This completes a rotation process.

Therefore, the officers gathered around Ning Yu at this time are not the kind of weak scholars who just dropped their pens, but the hateful guys who have actually stabbed people with bayonets on the battlefield, and there are quite a few ruthless guys like this, so Judging from the overall quality of the officers, the Fuhan army is not one or two points stronger than the green battalion.

"Liang Shi, Du Hengping, tell me, how should our army fight this battle?" Ning Yu asked casually while holding a binoculars to observe the movement of the Qing army on the opposite side.

Liang Shi and Du Hengheng are the two most outstanding staff officers in this group. They participated in the training of the Young Eagle Battalion, and were promoted to participate in the special training class for officers because of their meritorious service. They were then promoted to the First Division as staff officers. is also unusual.

Liang Shi pondered for a while, and said: "The Chen soldiers of the Qing army under the city of Changsha fought and did not fight, and did not retreat. I am afraid that they are already afraid and plan to spend with us here. From the humble opinion, since They have run out of courage, our army might as well take the initiative to attack and defeat the Qing army on the opposite side in one fell swoop."

Ning Yu was noncommittal, and looked at Du Hengheng, intending to listen to his thoughts.

Du Hengheng is younger, probably not more than two years older than Ning Yu, but his bravery has diluted a lot of immaturity in his age. He bowed slightly and replied: "Although what Brother Liang said makes sense, But it’s still a step away.”

Liang Shi has a simple and honest personality, and he is neither angry nor annoyed at the moment. Instead, he asks the reason with a humble attitude. This makes Du Hengheng quite admire. After all, not everyone has such a heart, so he continued: This level refers to the current situation of our army, if we take the initiative to attack, I am afraid that the Qing army will be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage and turn against the enemy."

Ning Yu nodded slightly at this time, but this coincided with his thoughts. There is a big difference between the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons, that is, with the advancement of projectile weapons, the attacker will Often will suffer greater casualties, so at this time, the defender can occupy a greater advantage.

The Qing army originally wanted to grab Changsha and then form a stalemate with the Fuhan army, but now they did not grab it, so they had to stick to it. The purpose of everything was to hold back the Fuhan army on the Ningyu road. , thus creating opportunities for the main decisive battle of the Qing army.

Ning Yu has already seen through this strategy, but what he is worried about now is how to pull out these tens of thousands of Qing troops to fight.As long as you win, everything will become easier.
