Chapter seven hundred and thirty third defeat
The reason why Senggelinqin fled Jinkou was very sufficient. He fought again. In order to pretend to be guilty, Senggelinqin concealed the news that tens of thousands of British, French and foreign troops landed in Jinkou, but said that a foreign army landed in Beitang. In order to ensure the stability of the capital, he retreated to Zhangjiawan to rectify defense.
Jinkou was close to the capital, and Senggelinqin's memorial made the court so foolish. Senggelinqin felt that he still had the power to fight again and integrates tens of thousands of troops in Zhangjiawan, which should be able to block the attack of the foreign devils.
But no one knows whether Senggelinqin has such confidence. Dagu defense battle was dominated by Senggelinqin. He is probably better than anyone else in the power of the firearm?
The Green Camp soldiers, Beijing Camp soldiers, and Mongolian horse teams carrying sabers to fight against muskets and artillery. As the chief general of the army, Senggelinqin should have some awareness. His best choice is to ask Sushun’s three thousand musketeers, or the firearm battalion equipped with Western muskets to help. In order to pretend to be responsible, it is too much to trap tens of thousands of troops in danger!
The British and French coalition forces will not be delayed because of attacking Jinkou, nor will it be delayed because the capital is not prepared. The strategy of the British and French coalition forces is very simple, just attack there if there is an army defense there. If you are not familiar with the terrain, the retreating Qing army will naturally lead them to the Qing capital.
Since the beginning of the army's ration city, the British and French forces have not wiped out the Qing army along the way. They always have to leave behind a group of deserters. These deserters led the British and French forces to slowly approach the Zhangjiawan near Senggelinqin's defense. This place is already in the capital. A little north of Zhangjiawan is Dingfuzhuang, and there is a Qihua Gate in Dingfuzhuang. This Qihua Gate is now called Chaoyang Gate. This is already the capital.
Now Senggelinqin has no choice but to retreat. If he retreats, he will be Dingfuzhuang and Bali Bridge. If he retreats, he will be the Forbidden City. If the emperor is captured, the Qing Dynasty will be over. If the Manchus and Mongolia are not separated, the Qing Dynasty will be over. If the Qing Dynasty is over, the Mongolian will be over!
Senggelinqin's Mongolian horse team were all selected grassland heroes, and they were not afraid of the British and French coalition forces. Under the urging of Senggelinqin, these Mongolian men, with the glory of their ancestors, headed straight for the British and French coalition forces.
If it retreated four hundred years ago, it would be no different to fight like this. Genghis Khan relied on the Mongolian cavalry to fight the Danube, but now it is different from the past. The old things from four hundred years ago can no longer be suppressed. Although the Tatar cavalry is famous, it cannot defeat the new guns and cannons in the hands of the British and French coalition forces.
The British and French coalition forces also showed enough respect for these terrifying Tatar cavalry, which was fearless and fearful of death. Hundreds of Kanglev rockets were the respect of the British and French coalition forces for the Senggelinqin Mongolian horse team. Unlike the cavalry trained by Yang Meng who was trained by Yang Meng all day long, the Mongolian horse team's training was mainly based on cold weapons.
The sudden whistling, explosion, and firelight all over the eyes were undoubtedly the biggest killing weapon for the horses formed into military formations. Chaos instantly swept through Senggelinqin's group of brave and fearless tribes. Such a result was undoubtedly a huge surprise for the British and French coalition forces. The next one was to reload in an orderly manner and slaughter slowly.
The first battle was a crushing defeat. The thousands of Mongolian horses that went up were completely despised by the sound of gunfire, while the British and French coalition forces were aiming and firing calmly, no different from live ammunition shooting.
The green camp soldiers and Beijing camp soldiers who were used to retreating in the past two days were not allowed to order Senggelinqin, so he decisively chose to retreat. The defeat began. In addition to the casualties of more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry, Senggelinqin's army of more than 30,000 did not defend for even an hour and retreated directly to the Bali Bridge of the capital.
Senggelinqin's men retreated to Bali Bridge, and they could not hide anything. Tens of thousands of British, French, and foreigners attacked the gate of the capital. The emperor and court officials knew nothing. After receiving the battle report of the Beijing camp, the four-color sticks sitting on the dragon throne had their faces rosy and pale, and their eyes were instantly covered with blood.
"Senggelinqin can't be used anymore, who else can I count on? Senggelinqin, who is killed in heaven, regrets not listening to Brother Yang's words of asking to kill Senggelinqin... Cough cough..."
After scolding, he coughed violently, and suddenly there were bright red spots on the bright yellow dragon robe.
"I see that it's red, and the big thing is not good. Please ask the imperial doctor and deer blood!
Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! Now in the capital, there is Sushun's musket team, and send him over to stop the enemy's soldiers. After blocking it, it will not be too late to make trouble!"
Since the beginning of the year, the emperor has had the problem of coughing up blood, but it has never been as bright as it is today. This is a sign of anger attacking the heart. Once the emperor is gone, the Qing Dynasty will really destroy the country. Peng Yunzhang, who has been sick recently, hurriedly persuaded the four-color stick. It is very easy for Jiangnan to fight foreign devils. Senggelinqin also returned to Dagukou before, why can't he stop it this time? In theory, Senggelinqin has a lot of people under his command. Is it true that Senggelinqin is unreliable as the emperor said?
The weeds not only took root in Peng Yunzhang's heart, but also the court officials around him were not? Whether it was Jiangnan or Dagu before, they were all smooth sailing. Why didn't they suddenly fail?
The British and French coalition forces continued to fight and rest, and gradually approached the Bali Bridge where Senggelinqin was stationed. Fighting in unfamiliar terrain, steady fighting was undoubtedly the fastest and most effective tactic. The British and French coalition forces, familiar with war, immediately came up with the most effective tactics. Although they were fighting a surprise attack, steady fighting did not affect the speed of the coalition forces.
Bali Bridge is already the last line of defense for Senggelinqin, and there is no way to retreat. In order to deal with the guns and cannons of the British and French forces, Senggelinqin also took out a few ways to respond, using the bird guns and cannons in the camp, which made the Mongolian war horses a little familiar with the sound of guns and cannons in a short time. This response was barely timely.
But no matter how brave the Mongolian men were, they would still die if they were not right. The Mongolian cavalry had no advantage in frontal charge. Their tactics should be the same as the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the pass.
The enemy's division and encirclement, dragging down the enemy's troops bit by bit, and charging head-on is not the strength of the Mongolian cavalry, let alone the thousands of muskets and artillery?
The two sides started a war at Bali Bridge, but the situation was the same as before. Teams of Mongolian cavalry rushed up, fell on the way to charge, including men and horses. Teams of Green Camp soldiers, Beijing Camp soldiers, and Eight Banners soldiers mustered up their last courage, but fell in the artillery fire and shotgun.
The Mongolian cavalry rushed rapidly and rushed quickly, which posed a great threat to the British and French coalition forces, but it could only be a threat. After only one hour of war, Senggelinqin had no soldiers available, and an army of more than 30,000 people had only supported it for less than an hour. The so-called bravery and fearlessness were all objects that could be described in simple words. These people were just dying!
In the big defeat, Senggelinqin was already scared, and Shengbao, who commanded the Mongolian horse team, was injured somewhat. The battle situation was no longer supported. There was no other way to go except escape.
The advancement of the British and French coalition forces step by step. The flesh and blood of the Mongolian cavalry and the official army won valuable time for the arrival of Sushun's three thousand men. Although the training time was not long, Sushun's Eight Banners New Camp also learned to shoot, avoid, and also learned to build fortifications simply.
It was too late to dig the trenches temporarily. As a rare talent among the crowd, Sushun's response was much more appropriate than Senggelinqin. He piled up the bodies of the people into a defense line. After a team of 3,000 people, he ended the death and injury of hundreds of people, and blocked the momentum of the British and French coalition forces at Bali Bridge.
"Senggelinqin, how did you fight?"
As a royal family, Sushun did not give face to Senggelinqin, Prince Korqin. The ground was full of corpses and bloody battlefields. The general situation of the battle, Sushun had learned from the defeated army that 30,000 troops could not support it for an hour, and the Eight Banners New Camp in his hand only cost a few hundred casualties, which dragged the British and French coalition forces for more than two hours.
It is already night now, and the cautious British and French coalition forces have chosen to set up camps to defend on the spot. Sushun has made efforts to find Senggelinqin to raise his troops to question him.
"Sushun, what are you? My men and women are all injured and killed. Isn't I not doing anything?"
This man was a bit lost. Prince Senggelinqin, Prince Korqin, more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, Green Camp, Beijing Camp, and Eight Banners soldiers together, more than 20,000 yuan. After an hour of battle, the battle could be gathered for less than 3,000 yuan. The battle was like this, and it was already annihilated. At this time, what kind of cultivation could be said to be in this situation!
"Get out! Get out! Useless bastard, why didn't you die in your mother's belly in the early years?
Mongolian waste!”
The war was like this and Sushun was not angry. The men of the Eight Banners were all in the capital! Once the foreign devils were allowed to enter the capital, the Eight Banners were completely disgraced, and the people of the Eight Banners would be dead!
"court death!"
Sushun's scolding was really a bit ugly. Senggelinqin could not stand this. She would have to get along with Sushun when she drew out the sabre. Unexpectedly, Sushun waved her hand and a few foreign guns reached Senggelinqin's face.
"Leave the people and horses, you Senggelinqin, get out! Get out of here quickly! Otherwise you will be killed!"
Sushun really wanted to kill Senggelinqin, but Senggelinqin was finally Prince Korqin. If he killed him, he was afraid that something would happen in Mongolia!
After driving away Senggelinqin, Sushun also sent an urgent report to the capital. Foreign barbarians were invincible, but Senggelinqin was too useless and transferred 10,000 troops from the Beijing camp, accompanied by foreign guns and ammunition, Sushun could wipe out the foreign devils who were attacking the gate of the capital.
The Pegasus reported urgently and dispatched troops overnight. The efficiency of the Qing Empire was as high as the return, and it was ridiculously high. Teams of Beijing camp troops and boxes of Western muskets were transported to the front line of Bali Bridge. When the troops were at the city, the Qing Dynasty finally showed the courage that a big country should have and built a defense line near Bali Bridge overnight.
With the help of the river, Sushun's men were considered as having natural chasms, earthen walls, trenches, military bases, and things that were rushing to work overnight. Although they were not very strong, they still had some defensive power.
The cautious British and French coalition gave Sushun great confidence, but the confidence was of little use. The new recruits trained in three to five months were ultimately defeated by those veterans of Britain and France who had been through battle for a long time.
After Sushun's men and women persisted at Bali Bridge for five days, the defense line began to be broken by the British and French coalition forces. Although the position was still there, Sushun, as the main general, knew that he would look at the foreigners with a smile. If such a war lasted for another ten or half a month, his men would be wiped out.
The report of Baliqiao's upcoming defeat was passed back to the capital, and the Four Colored Sticks and the court officials could no longer sit still. Now in this situation, it seems that they can only patrol Mulan.
"Your Majesty, Yangbutang, Jiangnan, asked for an order to go to Beijing to serve the king. Yangbutang said that as long as the court agreed, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Yongchang camps and the Eight Banners new camps stranded in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can reach the capital in two days and nights!"
Peng Yunzhang was also forced to do so, and the capital was about to fall. This memorial by Yang Laosan is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for the capital.
A few days ago, he had just vomited blood and had a blue-faced four-color stick, and suddenly grabbed the life-saving straw. Now it is not a solution to run. Senggelinqin lost 30,000 people in the battle, and Sushun had 15,000 or 6,000 people. After five days, more than a thousand people were killed or injured in a day. Even if he ran to Rehe and Mulan, he would probably not be able to escape the pursuit of foreigners!
This situation can only be negotiated, and even Senggelinqin cannot believe it. It is probably only Brother Yang, who is trustworthy in the dynasty. Now it seems that only Brother Yang, who is thinking about the Qing Dynasty and his Yixiu! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
