Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 360 The decisive battle at Bali Bridge 4

Seeing this scene, Fukangan, Yongrong, Yongyan, Yonglin and others couldn't help but open their mouths.

Looking at the scene in front of me in disbelief.

They didn't understand why the Ming army wanted to blow up the Bali Bridge. Didn't they just cross the river?

But soon, someone reacted.

The Ming army wanted to completely annihilate the Qing army on the east bank of the Tonghui River.

"It's broken! It's broken!"

"Our army's retreat on the east coast has been blocked!"

Fukangan slapped his head in annoyance, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Now the Qing troops on the east bank had already been defeated by the Ming army and began to flee.

If this escape route is blocked again, the situation will probably be completely irreversible.

Fukangan took a deep breath and shouted.

While the Qing army was building the pontoon bridge with all their strength, Zhu Jing'an waved his hands and gave orders with an expressionless face.

"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, and the Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"quick!"

"The war on the east coast must be completely resolved before the Qing army builds the pontoon bridge!"

I hope it's still too late...

The Eight Banners may still have thoughts of dying for the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Jing'an's order was issued.

"Kill!"

In just a moment, the resistance of the Qing army was defeated, and some Qing troops began to choose to surrender to the Ming army to save their lives.

"..."

Amid the shouts of killing, the Ming army's charge was unstoppable.

"Kill the Tartars!"

At this point, it is almost everyone's consensus that the Qing Dynasty will die.

The bayonets in the hands of the Ming army once again became a nightmare for the Qing army.

The piercing sound of charging horns and shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Pass a military order to order our army to immediately launch a full-scale attack on the Qing army on the east coast."

Soon, all departments of the Ming Army received the order and began to charge towards the place in front of them.

……

"Send the order and immediately have people prepare to build a pontoon bridge to help our soldiers on the east bank cross the river!"

"Annihilate all the Qing troops on the east bank of the Tonghui River!"

In order to save the defeat on the east coast, all Fukang'an can do now is to order people to prepare the pontoon immediately.

But the Green Camp soldiers were just the opposite.

They just served as soldiers to eat food. As long as they could be paid military salaries, they didn't care whether they were loyal to the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty.

They were able to survive the indiscriminate bombardment of the Ming army and persist until now before surrendering, which can be regarded as worthy of the military pay given to them by the Qing Dynasty.

Besides, many of the predecessors of the Green Camp soldiers were guardsmen of the Ming Army. Their surrender to the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than jumping back to their old employer and continuing their work for the old employer.

There is no psychological pressure at all!

Therefore, after the Ming army launched a bayonet charge, they faced a wave of surrender by the Qing army's green battalions.

A large number of Qing troops were scrambling to surrender to the Ming army in an organized manner.

Some Qing troops even surrendered to prove themselves. After surrendering, they simply cut off their braids and turned to kill their companions who still wanted to fight to the end.

I want to use my companion’s head to prove my loyalty to Ming Dynasty!

Those Qing troops who wanted to resist stubbornly did not even need the Ming troops to take action themselves. The Qing troops who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty could drown them.

The situation on the east bank of the Tonghui River vividly showed everyone what a fucking defeat is called.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, those Eight Banners soldiers also deserted.

They threw away their weapons, took off their armor, jumped into the Tonghui River, and swam desperately toward the west of the river.

When the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were chasing them to the river bank saw this, they did not go into the water. Instead, they stood on the bank, raised their guns and aimed at the Qing soldiers in the Tonghui River, and started to pull the trigger.

Snapped! Bang bang! A burst of crisp gunshots kept ringing out, and the surface of the Tonghui River would be stained red with blood from time to time.

Qing soldiers who jumped into the river were constantly shot to death, and their bodies were floating on the river.

Being swept downstream by the current!

……

Seeing the defeat of Dong'an, Yong Rong, Yong Yan and others were stunned on the spot.

The expressions on each face were twitching constantly.

Yong Rong took a deep breath and spoke with a solemn expression.

"The war situation on the east coast has completely collapsed. I believe that the Ming thieves will launch an attack on the west coast next."

"Our army must prepare for the defense of the west bank in advance..."

The Tonghui River is only a few dozen meters wide. It is not the kind of natural danger that can withstand the Ming army's offensive.

If the Qing army wanted to continue to resist the Ming army's offensive, it would definitely not go wrong to prepare defenses on the west bank in advance and strengthen the defenses on the west bank.

Seeing this, Yongyan and Yonglin on the side also nodded in approval.

Seeing this, Fukang'an also began to strengthen the defense of the west bank.

He ordered people to continue digging trenches, prepared sandbag fortifications, and dug the trenches as deep as possible.

Since the Ming army used explosive bombs, the Qing army also found that the effectiveness of its own anti-artillery fortifications was getting worse and worse.

In order to make up for it, they could only use stupid methods to dig the trenches as deep as possible and pile the sandbags high.

Apart from that, there is no other way!

……

The Ming army on the east coast has also begun to finish its operations.

A large number of Qing prisoners of war had their weapons confiscated and were placed under centralized custody.

And while detaining prisoners of war, they began to clean up the battlefield.

Busy as hell!

As the sky gradually darkened, the generals of the Ming army rode up to Zhu Jing'an and began to take turns reporting to him on the battle status of each department.

and asked about the next battle plan.

Zhu Jing'an looked at the battlefield and spoke immediately.

"Pass the order, the army will rest for the night on the east bank tonight."

"While the army is repairing, let the logistics department immediately start preparing the pontoon bridge."

"Wait until dawn tomorrow, then start building a pontoon bridge on the Tonghui River and launch an attack on the west bank!"

It was getting dark, so it was natural for the army to rest and recuperate. There was no rush for time anyway, and Zhu Jing'an didn't want to take the risk of letting the army fight at night.

Zhu Jing's military order was issued, and the Ming army generals immediately responded with clasped fists.

……

Outside the customs, Mobei Kulun!

The mission led by Yongxuan set out from the capital, exited the customs at Zhangjiakou, and headed north.

After spending nearly half a month on the road, the delegation finally arrived in Cullen.

It sounds like a long distance from Beijing to Kulun, but the actual distance is actually less than 400 kilometers.

The mission traveled for half a month at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per day before arriving in Kulun.

This means that the size of the mission carried by Yongxuan is not small, with nearly 300 people in large and small sizes, and it is relatively slow to get on the road.

If a fast horse was used to deliver the message, the four hundred miles would only take two or three days at most.

That's not far!

At this time, Kulun had been occupied by Russian soldiers, and the flag hanging on the city had changed from the Qing Dynasty's yellow dragon flag to the Tsarist Russia's double-headed eagle flag.

Yongxuan and his party had just arrived around Kulun City when they met a group of Cossack cavalry.

This group of Cossack cavalry, each riding a war horse and wearing black robes, galloped on the grassland, surrounded Yongxuan and his party, and made a series of strange screams.

It's full of threats!
