Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing the North Korean cannon fodder rushing to the Qing army's main line, causing chaos, Gonzalez and Huang Ding both gloated and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Huang Ding asked in a questioning tone, "Is it time for the cavalry to go?"

Gonzalez nodded, and decisively adopted risky tactics: "Shoot the dog in the water, not only the cavalry, but also the sons in front. Let's kill them together." Facing the fleeting fighter, Gonzalez immediately Adopted the attitude of decisive battle.

Due to the capture and requisition in North Korea, there are now more than 500 cavalry in the Marine Corps.But after all, the cavalry had to form a team first, so the artillery was dispatched first.

The artillerymen led the horses to fasten the loaded cannons, then led the horses around half a circle, and then drove the horses towards the front of the formation.They ran to the front of the formation through the passage between the phalanxes, and then led the horses to turn half a circle, pointed the muzzle forward, and then used the poking rod to compact the ammunition in the barrel, lit the match, and pointed at the Qing army. The scuffle with North Korean cannon fodder was blasted past.

This round of bombardment completely made the North Korean cannon fodder lose the courage to fight on. With a "boom", all the North Korean cannon fodder ran around on the battlefield like headless chickens.

As soon as the sound of the cannon fell, the five hundred cavalry of the Daping Army lined up and charged from the right side of the phalanx. This charge made the entire battlefield even more chaotic. Even the phalanx that was steadily moving forward began to stop and stab They raised North Korean cannon fodder close to the phalanx to prevent them from rushing into the formation, but instead confused the formation of the Marine Corps.

Seeing that the Daping army had already approached, Duoduo squinted his eyes and fell silent.After a while.He sighed a long time: "Hey! Withdraw! Withdraw ten miles. Let the cavalry cover behind you, don't mess up!"

With its current chaotic formation, the Qing army simply couldn't resist the navy and marines that came in formation.Knowing it is a disadvantage.To resist is not bravery, but stupidity.So while those North Korean cannon fodder were still on the battlefield, Duoduo took the initiative to withdraw one after another.

It is really cannon fodder for success and cannon fodder for failure.The more than 1 North Korean cannon fodder like headless flies also blocked the progress of the Marine Corps.When the Daping army finally dispersed them, the Qing army had already withdrawn from the battlefield and retreated towards the rear.See the cavalry of the Qing army waiting in full force behind.I also felt that the pursuit speed of the phalanx could no longer keep up with the Qing army.Gonzalez and Huang Ding no longer reluctantly pursued them, and called for gold to withdraw their troops at the right time, ending the day's fighting.

Fight of the day.It can be said that the Qing army was very depressed in defeat.They didn't have time to start a frontal battle with the Daping Army, but they were defeated in the "battle" with North Korean cannon fodder.Especially those North Korean cannon fodder were captured and driven away by the Qing army.

Just so inexplicably, the Qing army lost more than 1000 soldiers and horses.The Marine Corps only spent dozens of shells.It can be said that there is no damage.Especially this time the Qing army was attacking Seoul.The six general cannons brought in were all abandoned by the Qing army on the way back.This also caused a great loss to the long-range firepower of the Qing army, and once the navy and marines were disadvantaged in combat and retreated to Seoul to defend, the Qing army would have no means of attacking the city, which also made the Daping army invincible.

For this reason, after resting for three days, Dodo hurriedly led the army.Move forward again, wanting to completely defeat the Taiping Army in the field.Don't let the Daping army have the opportunity to retreat.

But at this time, the third batch of [-] soldiers and horses of the Marine Corps had also landed in North Korea.This army hurriedly marched to Anzhou, and joined the main force led by Gonzalez and Huang Ding.

As a result, the Qing army also became a disadvantage in terms of military strength.For this reason, Doduo ordered the troops to garrison on the spot to defend against the northward advance of the Daping Army; at the same time, he urgently reported to Jierhalang, asking him to send reinforcements to reinforce his troops.So the two troops also stalemate in Anzhou.

……

Duduo in North Korea is depressed, but Abate who has entered the customs is even more depressed.

On May 27, Abatai, who received an urgent order from Dorgon, led [-] Manchurian and Mongolian coalition troops to enter the customs from Yu County (now Zhangjiakou), and the direction of march was to point directly at Beijing.Since the main forces of the Daping Army were fighting everywhere, it was impossible to deploy enough troops on the Great Wall defense line, so the Abatai troops did not encounter any resistance when they entered the customs. However, the beacon fire of the Great Wall also spread all over the place.As soon as the smoke rose, the entire Xuanda front line was organized and mobilized, and a complete fortified wall was started to prevent the Qing army from taking food on the spot.

Since the Great Wall defense line had become undefended, the Daping Dynasty began to organize exercises to fortify the walls and clear the fields at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.But now, as soon as the beacon fires were seen in northern Zhili and Shanxi, the officials immediately gathered the people scattered in the countryside into various cities and military villages.Except for the common people in the deep mountains, if anyone is scattered outside the city, they will be shot to death.The grain and grass outside the city were also transported into the city, and even the crops that were about to be harvested in summer were harvested as much as possible, and those that were too late to harvest were all burned, just to prevent the Qing army from getting a grain of grain.

As soon as Abatai led the [-] Qing troops into the customs, he felt unable to move an inch.Because Pegasus Town had just mopped up the Monan Grassland a few months ago, the Mongolian tribes suffered a lot.The number of cattle and sheep seized by Feima Zhen alone exceeded [-], and the number of cattle and sheep killed because they could not be carried was no less than this number.Therefore, when Abatay entered the customs this time, they did not bring much food and grass supplies.

Of course, when nomads entered the Central Plains, they never had the habit of bringing more food and grass.They have always taken food locally, looting all the food and wealth along the way.

But this time the Daping Dynasty's actions were beyond the expectations of the Qing army.

Because last year, the entire northern region was plagued by wars, and the Ming army, Dashun army, Qing army, and Runing army all fought back and forth, resulting in the failure of grain harvests in the northern region, and the land was barren for a whole year.

In order to resettle these victims, before and after the establishment of the Daping Dynasty, the government of the Daping Dynasty strictly implemented the "Three Decree".Concentrate the disaster victims and refugees in various army villages for collective production.Moreover, food was also transported to various cities and villages as rations and grain for the people.

In order to prevent the intrusion of bandits, all military villages have also formed village protection teams.Although these village guards were not equipped with any firearms, their training was all in accordance with the phalanx of the Runing Army.

Therefore, when the Abatai tribe entered the customs this time, they could not find food and grass in the countryside.If you want to obtain it, you must attack a well-defended city or Tuntian Zhuangzi.

On the third day of June, the Xuanhua First Army settled in Zhuangzizhong.

Guan Qiguo looked at more than 1 Qing soldiers outside Zhuangzi, densely packed, but he couldn't count them at all.At this time, he was a little timid in his heart, but as the highest official in Zhuangzi, judging from his expression, he was relatively calm.

"Can this Zhuangzi survive?" Guan Qiguo asked Shi Zhen who was beside him.

Shi Zhen is a veteran of the former Runing Army. He was discharged with a left hand injury, so now he has become an official in charge of military training and security in the village.

Shi Zhen poked her probe carefully, looked at the Qing soldiers outside, and then whispered to Guan Qiguo, "Half time! We have no firearms, and only a few dozen hunting bows for bows and arrows. It was a deadly battle. But Zhuangzi’s wall is too low, and it doesn’t take much effort for the Tatars to build ladders. If the children use what they usually practice, they can still withstand the Tartars. But they have never been in battle, I’m afraid When they get weak, then there will be some trouble."

The Juntun Zhuangzi where Guan Qi is located is the largest one in the vicinity, so as the head of the village, he personally presided over the defense of this Zhuangzi.However, this Zhuangzi is also where the rations of the entire village are supplied, so there are more than 2000 stones of grain and grass in the village.And it was these more than 2000 shi of grain that attracted the Qing army who were short of food.

However, there are also many village guard teams in this village.The troops from several nearby Zhuangzi were assembled, and now there are more than 2000 village guards in the village.Moreover, Zhuangzi is not a city after all, and its scope is much smaller, so 2000 troops are more than enough to guard such a small Zhuangzi.

But the disadvantage is that there are no long-range weapons and the city wall is too low.The entry of the Qing army this time pursued high-speed mobility, so there were a lot of horses, and many soldiers rode two or three horses with one person.But they just didn't carry siege weapons, and they didn't even bring many craftsmen, so it was basically impossible to attack the tall fortified city.But now seeing this military village with only low walls, they will attack it at all costs.

And now the Qing army is on the verge of food shortage.Although it is summer now, there are many birds and beasts in the countryside, which can be temporarily maintained by hunting.However, [-] soldiers and horsemen eat horse chews, and they can't last long in one place.And the Qing army entered the customs, is it for hunting?No matter how you look at it, this seems a little funny.

Therefore, the current Qing army is bound to win this Zhuangzi who manages Qi.

After listening to Shi Zhen's words, Guan Qiguo gave a wry smile, it seems that this difficult time is very sad!So he then ordered: "Do your best! If you keep it, I will give you credit. If you can't keep it, the two of us will go to the Martyrs' Shrine together."

Shi Zhen nodded, stretched out her injured left hand, and then said to Guan Qiguo: "My lord! I have arranged for dozens of cronies to enter the granary. Now the gate of the granary is locked. As long as Zhuangzi is broken, they will Set it on fire immediately, and never let the Tartars get a grain of food."

Guan Qiguo smiled again when he heard that Shi Zhen was in such a desperate situation, and said to him: "This is very good, and you will be prepared. Tell all the team members who protect the village about this! If Zhuangzi is broken and there is no food, even if they want to If they surrender, they and their whole family will be killed by the Tartars.” (To be continued..)
