Great Qing Dynasty talker
Chapter 301 Have you ever seen the Qing army camp at 3 o'clock in the morning? Right at our fee
Chapter 301 Have you ever seen the Qing army camp at three o'clock in the morning? Right at our feet!
Less than an hour has passed,
Qi Zheng walked out of the house fully armed and ordered in a low voice:
"Bring enough dry food for three days and retreat south with my officer. The Wu army has just moved to Raozhou, and the defense line may not be just an iron barrel. We have seen the tens of thousands of Wu troops in front of Hukou with our own eyes, but the tens of thousands of Wu troops in the south are on horseback. The local magistrate reported it himself.”
When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense.
"Capital, what should we do with the army that is encircling and suppressing the vanguard of the Wu army? What should we do with the tens of thousands of green soldiers nearby?"
"Bring them all."
Military orders were issued in a hurry.
All the officers above the guerrilla level knew this, and their faces turned pale with fear.
The fake king of Wu really doesn't do anything, but when he does, he is extremely ruthless! He actually created such a big encirclement.
To the north is the Yangtze River and to the west is Poyang Lake.
To the east is the main army he led personally, and to the south is Raozhou Mansion, which he sent a partial division to raid and capture.
No matter how you look at it, the army should break out south.
The imperial court will also blame this tragedy on the army of the puppet King Wu. It must and can only be done by the Wu army!
……
Thousands of gentry and their families, as well as 20,000 forced laborers, came in droves, hoping that the court would take them with them.
……
Most of these thugs came from the Eight Banners Camp near the town. Although they did not wear official clothes and hats, the standard boots on their feet betrayed their true identities.
Anyway, everything is in a mess. There is no shop like this after passing this village. The evil in human nature is brought out to the fullest.
In fact, more people joined the doomsday carnival.
"Leader, shall we fight?"
There are people running around like headless chickens everywhere, and some even take advantage of the situation to rob or even kill people in the street.
In the evening,
Looking at the dark crowd, Qizheng's plan came to mind.
"I don't know. The military order has been sent. Take your leave."
Soldiers and bandits are coming to the same goal at this moment, all for money!
And 2 hours ago,
A gentleman pointed at the glaring military boots and cursed angrily:
The soldiers had no intention of suppressing them and turned a blind eye, busy preparing to escape. However, there were some who were quick-thinking and took the initiative to join in the robbery sequence.
"Let them all go back and prepare dry food. They will go with the army tomorrow morning. Walk behind the army."
"You are obviously soldiers of the imperial court, but you pretend to be thieves and loot the place. I, I want to go to the capital to file a complaint."
The fire inside and outside the city was filled with thick smoke. At first glance, it looked like Wu Jun had already attacked.
There is no proof of death, and all the responsibility lies with the false king of Wu.
When Shelen saw the handwriting, his hair stood up.
The most attractive area for gangsters is naturally the towns where the gentry from Hukou and Pengze counties live temporarily.
On this day, order in Hukou County completely collapsed.
I think General Fuyuan will also dispatch troops to the south to support him.
That day, people inside and outside Hukou County were crying.
……
"Call me, collect dry food and prepare to evacuate. The people fleeing along the way must not go hungry."
He handed over his hand, got on his horse, and ran away.
"what happened?"
"Quickly retreat and meet 30 miles south of Hukou."
The cavalry withdrew from the battlefield first, cut open the grain bags in the camp and dumped them on the ground, letting the horses eat the grain.
Banknotes, cash, jewelry, clothing, and carriages were all targeted. Finally, the green camp soldiers, who were still unsatisfied, turned their attention to the female relatives of the gentry. If they encountered any resistance, they would chop them with swords and axes.
A group of stunned Green Camp generals and Turgut nobles were left behind.
"Whoo."
The Qing army, which had just received artillery support and set up a position to besiege the village, suddenly received an emergency military order from Qizheng.
What started as sporadic robberies has developed into dozens or hundreds of people carrying sharp knives and searching from house to house.
"The Yangtze River Navy was defeated, the admiral died in battle, and Poyang Lake has been sealed off by the puppet king of Wu's navy. The Raozhou Mansion in the south was also attacked by the Wu army. Master Dutong wanted to take advantage of the weak strength of the Wu army in the south to break through in one go. go out."
……
Grabbing the knight who was delivering the order:
The knight replied coldly:
Shelen's eyesight went dark, he pointed his riding whip at the smoke-filled village, and asked angrily:
"The fight has just started, what should we do here?"
After hearing this, the two Eight Banners soldiers looked at each other, went back and stabbed the man with a knife. Then the house was ordered again.
The green camp soldiers were even more unruly and simply retreated on their own.
One battalion took the lead, and all the rest followed.
The flags and baggage were all thrown away. Some people even threw away their weapons just to escape lightly.
Seleng was furious and stopped a Hunan green camp guerrilla:
"What happened to your people? We must cover each other when retreating and leave slowly. Otherwise, if the enemy pursues us, we will be defeated even if we are not defeated."
The guerrilla general spread his hands helplessly:
"Sir, we have been defeated. Besides, you have horses that can run faster than us."
After that, he pushed away Seleng's arm and strode westward.
The green soldiers are not stupid. The infantry and cavalry alternately cover the withdrawal from the battlefield?
I'm afraid I'm not dreaming.
As soon as the retreat begins, you Mongolians will run away after beating your horses, leaving us infantrymen behind, crying and screaming, to be stabbed with bayonets by Jiangdong rats, right?
Pooh!
……
No more 12 red cannons.
The gunners all withdrew, only nailing the fire doors of two guns with iron nails, and discarding the rest of the guns.
Your life is yours, and your guns belong to the court!
In the village, the soldiers of the 1st Mixed Battalion poked their heads in confusion.
Li Ergou also hurried to the entrance of the village:
"What's going on on the other side?"
"I don't know, the Qing army seems to have stopped fighting."
The smoke gradually dissipated, and everyone felt that the scene in front of them was quite strange. The Qing army retreated across the board. Smoke and dust billowed inside and outside the camp, and people neighed and horses shouted.
There's no one around the cannon!
"Lin Youtai, what do you think?"
"This matter is strange, there must be fraud."
Li Ergou nodded solemnly, he also felt that it was a scam.
Maybe the Qing army was using these artillery pieces as bait to trick them into leaving the village to rob them, and then igniting the already buried gunpowder? Or is it the hidden cavalry that charges quickly to cut off the retreat?
"Brothers, be careful and alert."
……
Half an hour later, the Qing army camp gradually became quiet.
On the roof, Li Ergou looked around with a telescope, his face getting weirder.
"Today's battle is strange!"
"Second Master, why don't you let the brothers rush in and test it out?"
"hold on."
After another cup of tea, everyone finally couldn't hold it any longer.
First, the light cavalry rushed out of the village, circled around the artillery, and gestured for safety. We circled around the Qing army camp again.
Everyone in the village had their hearts in their throats.
The leading cavalry captain looked at the messy camp and finally couldn't help it:
"Come in!"
Brushing, the knights drew their swords one after another, controlled their horses and rushed in through the open camp door, and soon rushed to the Chinese army's tent.
A knight slashed the ropes of the flagpole with a sword.
The Qing army's banner fell to the ground!
……
In the village, Li Ergou suddenly put down his telescope with an angry expression:
"Damn, I was deceived. The Qing army really escaped."
"Brothers, pack up the guys and prepare to pursue them."
Everyone was stunned and immediately became busy. Yesterday, all the ammunition, artillery shells, and dry food were unloaded from the baggage truck, and they had to be reloaded today. The amount of this project is not small.
It took a full hour of work before it was finished.
"Eat, drink, and rest for a while. Then pursue again."
The behavior of chasing tens of thousands of Qing troops with more than a thousand troops seemed to be a recipe for death. But this is strangely in line with Li Ergou's behavior.
As usual, the cavalry was in front to provide warning to the army along the way.
The musketeers were fully armed and escorted the baggage train forward.
In the afternoon,
They began to encounter straggler Qing troops, and some even took the initiative to surrender, but were ignored. The 1st Mixed Battalion simply did not have the time or manpower to take in prisoners. …
Before the sun sets,
Finally, they bit a 2000-man Green Battalion. After only three rounds of gunfire, and without even having time to unload the artillery, the messy Green Camp soldiers chose to surrender.
Looking at the green soldiers all over the mountains and plains, kneeling down and discarding their weapons, raising their hands high.
Lin Youtai was confused and asked:
"Commander, what should I do?"
"Let them throw their flags and weapons into the creek over there, then take off their boots, gather them together, and burn them on fire. Tell them to wait where they are, and the army will take them in."
The musketeers spent half an hour supervising the soldiers to complete all the processes.
Dozens of flags and more than a thousand sabers and spears were thrown into the river, and the creek was cut off. It can be regarded as a small realization of the legend of "throwing a whip to cut off the flow".
Looking at the burning boots hill, Li Ergou covered his nose:
"keep going!"
Under the dull gazes of the captives, we pursued him with great strides!
Seeing that Wu Jun was no longer around, some Green Camp soldiers became more courageous:
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Stay."
The leading officer sat down angrily. He had lost confidence in his future and didn't want to run around anymore.
Intuitively tell yourself, lose! Lost!
The tens of thousands of brothers in front may have run for hundreds of miles like dead dogs. When they arrived at Raozhou Prefecture, they found that they had a fortified city at their back, waiting for work.
It's better to lie down now, suffer less, and not lose weight!
……
The sun sets, the vision gradually dims, and the soldiers of the 1st Mixed Battalion are exhausted.
He hurriedly chose a nearby valley to camp, eat dry food and sleep. They just arranged a simple barrage of horses and used baggage vehicles to build a defense line.
Everyone wrapped up their coats tightly and slept soundly.
Li Ergou leaned against a stone and lost his mind in thought.
He was a little confused about what happened to the Qing army today? How could he retreat in such a helter-skelter manner?
midnight,
The sentry suddenly broke into his tent excitedly, lowered his voice and said excitedly:
"Commander, there is a situation on the other side of the mountain."
Li Ergou got up quickly and grabbed his sword:
"what's the situation?"
The moment everyone spent three-quarters of an hour climbing up the rugged path to the top of the mountain, the darkness in front of them was suddenly dispelled. I saw brightly lit lights at the foot of the mountain, stretching for miles.
Li Ergou took a breath of air and pointed down the mountain:
"The one riding on the horse is the Qing army camp, and it's just across a mountain from us?"
Everyone was surprised and happy, as if a stray dog had fallen into a pile of bones, and their emotions were very complicated.
"How to do?"
"Fight! Let the brothers carry the cannon up."
……
In the valley, the gunners removed the barrels.
It took a full hour to silently carry the cannon barrel and shells up the mountain.
Fortunately, they are all light artillery, and two people take turns carrying them up the mountain. Afterwards, the gun barrel was set up directly on the earth bag to construct the simplest and most primitive artillery position.
in the dark,
They could only hear each other's breath, and even the pounding of their hearts.
Reloading is also done fumble based on muscle memory.
Li Ergou took two steps back to one side and shouted in a low voice: "Fire."
The gunners immediately pulled out the torches, ignited the torches, and then lit five artillery pieces in sequence.
Flames pierced the night sky, and artillery shells fell into the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain. The Qing army, who was sleeping soundly, exploded in an instant and ran around.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
"It's over. We've been ambushed. Run."
After 40 breaths, the second round of shells fell~
Without aiming, as long as the enemy's camp is large enough, all cannonballs can be received accurately without wasting any one.
……
The actual damage is not big, but the panic caused is big enough.
Originally, these tens of thousands of Qing troops were on the road to escape, and they were panic-stricken. After being bombed like this in the middle of the night, everyone fell into a mass panic and ran away screaming, not knowing where the enemy was.
Marathon Night Run for Ten Thousand People Starts!
Commonly known as: Bombing the camp!
Li Ergou stood on the hillside, holding a tree and laughing until tears came out.
call out:
"Don't stop the artillery. It's cost-effective to hit it until it explodes. If it's destroyed, I'll go back and replace it with a new one for you."
Of course the gunners were able to figure this out. There was no such thing as aiming, adjusting the gun position, or firing the shells. They focused on bombing wildly and threw the artillery code behind them.
Xishan Gun Factory made another great contribution.
After 20 rounds of continuous bombardment, there was no explosion.
"Stop it, brothers."
The stream water and human urine collected around it were all used, and it was no longer possible to continue cooling the barrel.
Under the cover of night, the naked eye can see the cannon barrel glowing with a strange red light, which makes people want to touch it!
……
Tens of thousands of Qing troops fled in a hurry under the shady curtain. There were casualties in the accidental stampede that night. The number of missing people was estimated to be ten or a hundred times as many as the casualties from the artillery shells.
When the sky is dark,
Li Ergou was pleasantly surprised to see a group of cavalry coming from behind, with the hunting flag showing the word "Wu" embroidered with gold thread.
"The army has arrived."
Everyone cheered, finally able to throw off their feet and catch up. The army is following!
Half an hour later,
As far as the eye could see, the infantry arrived, flanked by baggage carts and artillery carts drawn by mules.
Li Ergou rushed over excitedly:
"Meet the adoptive father."
"Get up, you fought well this time. We will reward you for your merits after the Qing army is completely wiped out."
"Yes."
The soldiers of the 1st Mixed Battalion were all beaming with joy.
This time they became the vanguard and became famous in the army. The casualties were no more than a hundred, which was very lucky.
Generally speaking, if the friendly forces are not strong enough, or arrive too late, the army that implements the "center bloom" tactic will most likely not end well.
……
Li Yu was riding on his war horse, his mind set.
The battle has reached this point, and victory has actually been secured in advance. The next step is how to gain the greatest victory with the least casualties.
War should also be treated as business!
When fighting a war, you need to calculate the investment costs, gain benefits in the short term, and gain benefits in the long term.
We have to settle both small accounts and big accounts! If word spreads, it will be blackened by the Eight Banners of the Capital. The rats from Jiangdong will compete with each other, and the abacus beads will smoke!
suddenly,
He turned around and shouted:
"Where is Wusimai?"
After a while, Wu Simai came with the messenger knight.
He raised his hand on the horse:
"I'm going to pay my respects to the prince."
"Well, I want to persuade those Turgut people to surrender. You can barely be considered fellow villagers, right? It might be easier to communicate if you come forward to persuade them to surrender."
……
Wu Simai's face darkened:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The Mongols have been divided for a long time. We have been fighting each other on the grassland for hundreds of years, and no one surrenders to the other. Even if the descendants of the Golden Family come, it will not be of any use."
"It doesn't matter, I am mainly interested in their war horses. When the time comes, let the soldiers be careful and try to shoot as many people as possible and leave the horses behind."
Speaking of war horses, Wusimai's eyes lit up.
He dreamed of owning thousands of war horses, and after this period of war everyone began to recognize the status of cavalry.
"Your Majesty, please send me an order to pursue the remnants of the Tatar enemy."
"Don't worry. Don't worry, they can't escape."
One side is running away, the other side is chasing. The marching speeds of both sides were roughly the same, so there was always a gap of about 30 miles.
And this is exactly what Li Yu wants.
Chasing too close, he was worried that the Qing army would counterattack.
Just follow them at a short distance and drive them to the bank of the Rao River.
By the time,
The Qing army would be sad and angry to find Liu Wu's naval warships cruising on the wide river ahead, and the power of the ship-borne guns was unstoppable.
There is another main force of Wu army with fierce firepower in the rear.
How about surrendering?
