Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 55 Civil War
"Comrades, work harder! The dog tartars are coming, let them have a taste of our strength! Dig deeper! The trench is one foot deeper, and the tartars will die!"

In one position, a young preacher was enthusiastically boosting morale.Hearing the energetic words of the preacher, the people who were digging the pit echoed enthusiastically, and then continued to dig with sweat.They desperately dug the trench deep and wide, as if they could isolate the Tartars far away.

This time De'an Mansion and Hanyang Mansion sent [-] troops each, and the soldiers divided into two groups to attack the security regiment.The [-] soldiers and horses are all green battalion soldiers, and nearly half of them are still soldiers.Although the security regiment has now expanded to more than [-] troops, each of the five main battalions alone exceeds [-].But Qiu Tianxing knew that a huge number did not mean a strong combat power.

Today's security regiments generally lack weapons and armor, not only that, they even lack clothing, shoes and socks.The troupe members wear their own clothes, and when they are training in formation, they are of all kinds. The better ones are neater, and the worse ones are just a piece of rag mended and draped over their bodies.They wear cloth shoes, straw sandals, and wooden shoes, and many of them are barefoot.Although the security regiment has mobilized women from all over the country to weave clothes and shoes for the regiment members.But firstly, the funds were limited and the time was rushed, so the messy military appearance of the security team had to last for a long time.

Because of this, Tazi officials in Hubei official circles called the security regiment bandits, because the clothes they wore were no different from bandits.Maybe he's dressed worse than a bandit, almost like a beggar.

However, even if there is a shortage of weapons and equipment, there is only one spear in each person's hand, not to mention crossbows, armor, muskets, and cannons.However, the whole security team is full of passion, and everyone has a bloody feud with the Tartars.According to what they talked about in private, since their family members were killed by the Tartars, they regarded themselves as dead.If you fight with the Tartars, you will earn one if you kill one.It would be great if the number of dead relatives could be killed. Even if they couldn't kill them all, as long as they could kill even one Tartar, they would have the face to face them after going down.Therefore, the security team was eager to fight, not afraid of death, but afraid that the Tartars would die in vain if they didn't kill them.

Seeing that the comrades all had strong fighting spirit, Qiu Tianxing felt a little relieved.Although he decided to fight the Tartars to the death and did not choose a strategic shift, he still felt a little guilty.Many of the Green Battalion soldiers of the Tartars were surrendered by the officers and soldiers of the former Ming Dynasty, and most of them have rich combat experience, which is not comparable to my gang of mud legs.Perhaps in their eyes, ten of the security team might not be able to defeat one of them.It is precisely because of this contempt that De'an Mansion and Hanyang Mansion attacked from both sides, and did not join forces.Of course, this is also the opportunity for the security team.

In order to defend against the powerful enemy, Qiu Tianxing recalled more than half of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion in other places, plus the third and fifth battalions who stayed in Yingshan, as well as the farmers' association, Yingshan, etc. The Youth League and so on, there are 5 horses by patchwork.Qiu Tianxing felt that 5 horses alone were not enough. Now the security regiment has 40 people and more than 6 regiment members. The ratio has reached an astonishing six to one.But Qiu Tianxing feels that this has not reached the bottom line. His bottom line is that except for the people who are in production, everyone else will be pulled to the front line. Even if they can't go directly to the battlefield, it is okay to carry supplies and take off the wounded.

So, under Qiu Tianxing's order, under the instigation of the preachers everywhere, and under the direct leadership of the neighborhood committee, village committee, and peasant association, the people under the security regiment were all excited.They were told that the Tartars were coming, and this time the Tartars were coming to shave their heads, strip their clothes, rob them of their food, and sleep their women.As a result, everyone was angry, even the old man who was six or seventy years old and his teeth were about to fall out was trembling with anger, wishing he could go up and bite the tartar.After being dissuaded by the members of the peasant association, they told the juniors who were about to go to the front line one by one, asking them to listen to the security team and kill the Tartars, and never let the Tartars call.

In this fanatical atmosphere, no one thought about the horror of the Tartars. Instead, they were afraid that if the Tartars ran away, they would not be able to beat them.

"The real Tartars didn't come, so it's not bad to fight the fake Tartars!" When people met each other, they would tease each other like this.It seems that fighting the Tartars has become a game.

This is what Qiu Tianxing would like to see.He would rather everyone despise the Tartars, even if they underestimated them to the point of suffering, than they would tremble with fear when they mentioned the Tartars.As long as there is no fear in the heart, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated.

Before the Tartars came, Qiu Tianxing arranged for people to dig a deep ravine outside Yingshan City, and the bottom of the ravine was filled with sharp wooden stakes.

This time, Qiu Tianxing decided to fight a battle to defend Yingshan. Only 2 people were left in the city, and the remaining 3 people were scattered all over the field.Hiding soldiers among the people is not just all the people being soldiers, but it can also be the real hiding of soldiers and horses in people's homes.Relying on the military-civilian situation between the security team and the people under its rule, coupled with the control of various organizations such as the village committee and the peasant association, all this is feasible.

First use the weak soldiers to fight against the arrogant soldiers, and wait for the soldiers to be exhausted, and then the ambush soldiers take advantage of the situation and fight out to win the decisive victory in one fell swoop.This is probably a helpless solution. Keeping the enemy out of the country can reduce the destructive power of the war on the base area, but it also needs to have the strength to keep the enemy out.Nowadays, the security regiment is short of everything except people. How can it fight the green battalion soldiers in the field?Dozens, hundreds of green battalion soldiers can be dealt with by ambush, but how can they ambush when tens of thousands?It's better to fight the battle of defending the city honestly!
At this moment, Qiu Tianxing hated himself so much that he spent all his time watching TV in his previous life. It was a waste of time, but he didn't learn some military knowledge by himself.If he graduated from a military academy, he would make guns, cannons, and explosives, and he would be reduced to the present situation, where people are oppressed and beaten?Moreover, there is really no talent in the security regiment, and they are all generals among dwarfs.The officers of each battalion are basically promoted based on their seniority or by Qiu Tianxing's pleasing to the eye. Before they joined the security regiment, most of them were farmers and civilians. Even if they had military experience, they were just grassroots soldiers.The security group only relies on the advanced political system and propaganda system that Qiu Tianxing learned from TV in his previous life.Relying on these regiments who were tortured by hatred and hated the Tartars so much that they could not survive the current situation.In this way, he is about to face a powerful opponent to crush him.But just like that, Qiu Tianxing and the members of the security team never thought about surrendering, they will fight to the end!
