Chapter 143(1/2)
Don’t do anything in the future
"The enemy's vanguard is twelve miles away"
Duoduo waved his hand powerlessly to signal the horse to retreat.
The army to die was progressing too fast. Its speed was far beyond the expectations of the Qing army.
According to Duoduo's vision, the army to die is strong in combat, and the new army on the northern line can be supported for at least two more days.
Although the fighting will of the new affiliated army (not the combat power) is not tenacious in many cases, so many people and horses arranged behind them will not collapse so quickly.
Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even tens of thousands of ducks are enough to go to the dead army to hang up for a few days.
After the Eastern Front lost, the general posture of the dead army behind him did surprise the Qing army, but for political reasons, Duoduo still drew the elite force at hand to attack Nandu.
Forced the elite part of his subordinates to attack at all costs. Such a risky approach is nothing more than to compete with the dead army.
Especially now, a huge gap has been torn into the defense of Nandu City, and many teams have even rushed forward through this gap. At most, the entire strategic plan will become a reality in one afternoon.
But God did not favor the Qing army again.
The Nandu defenders were defeated by the Qing army in the field, but the tall city helped them. The Manchu warriors were killed and injured in the Nandu city and wasted a whole day. All of this prompted the inevitable situation today.
After smashing the Beijing camp and siege the city, the elite main force was less than 10,000, including Ahani Kanbe who was defeated on the northern line. Only about 8,000 people could really come in handy.
Including slave soldiers and the new affiliated army with various numbers, there are about 50,000 people. The Qing army, which claims to be 200,000, actually 130,000, had lost more than half of the losses from Huaiyang to Nandu.
Most of the losses occurred within these three days, and most of them were the fact that the New Army's fighting will was not tenacious enough, and they were easily defeated and incorporated by the dead army...
"Retreat and let the warriors retreat." Whether it is the first defeat on the Eastern Front or the blocked North Front, although the military losses are huge, they cannot pose a fatal threat to the Qing army. The biggest danger comes from the rapid progress of the dead army, forming a dangerous situation where there are strong cities in front and pursuers behind. Now there is no advantage in military strength. Duoduo feels powerless for the first time. Seeing that Nandu, who is about to get it, has to give up and shrink its troops to prepare for breaking through.
The army to die has approached a dangerous distance. If it does not shrink its troops and breaks through with all its strength, it will be too late.
According to the information ahead, the main force of the army to die was as high as 30,000 to 40,000 horses, and even locked the Yangtze River. The Qing army seemed to have entered the iron barrel.
Duoduo did not believe in this kind of information at all.
It is just a trick of the suspicious army to the death army. The suspicious army cannot have such a large main force. If the suspicious army really has such strength, there is no need to fight so hard in Yangzhou. No matter how realistic this trick is, it cannot be true. From the suspicious army to the death completely abandon Jiangbei, they know that their strength is also very limited. On this strategy, no matter how the suspicious army is, no matter how bluffing the momentum, it cannot cover up the fact that the main force of the suspicious army is not enough.
At most, this trick of concealing the world is to scare the new army on the northern line. Duoduo was not so easily frightened. If the army to die really had such a strong force, it could be blocked without any scruples. How could it be that Nandu was used as bait to hit the new army on the periphery?
It is undeniable that the bluff of the army to die did scare the new army on the northern line, and plays a role in increasing or decreasing the forces of both sides, and strategically forms a siege of the main force of the Qing army.
"Returned without success." This is Duoduo's overall evaluation of the Battle of Nandu.
Although the army of the Death Army was astonishingly erected, it seemed that at first glance it was an ambush on all sides, but Duoduo never believed that the army of the Death Army could swallow him in one bite. This was determined by the strength of both sides, and it was not achieved by playing with any conspiracy. Although the army of the Death Army took the initiative, the army would inevitably be dispersed when it was surrounded on all sides, and it was impossible to eat Duoduo's main force.
If the Qing army wanted to leave, it would not be able to stop the army from going to the death.
The Qing army's struggle on the city was in full swing. Two of the four sub-walls had been lost. The third sub-wall was borrowed from front and back, laying a thick layer.
All the power in his hand was filled with this area, and it was still dangerous. If Wei Wuya had not transferred three hundred elite fork soldiers to come up in time, he would have been no longer defended.
Even so, after the city wall was torn apart, the battle was fierce, and it was no longer helpful to the overall situation. The reason why everyone sacrificed their lives to fight was nothing more than hoping that the army to die would appear in time, so they were delaying time as much as possible. Every pass and every sub-wall had to be repeatedly fought for...
If you retreat again, it will be the last wall. At that time, you will have to use bloody street fighting to hold the Qing army, and you can only exchange the casualties of the people for time.
Several kids who were the last deterrent force have stood up. They tore open their wide military uniforms and reveal the explosive things tied to their bodies, ready to launch suicide attacks to save the crisis at any time.
"If there is no blood, the people of Nandu would think that our children are just eating." The Boy Scout Dead Dog said relaxedly without caring: "If the Tartars break this wall later, we will all go up and let the people of Nandu see the majesty of the anti-traitor group and let them see what the real battle is..."
A creepy burst was tied to her skinny chest. The boy was ready to shock both sides with bloody attacks...
But at this moment, the Tartar soldiers suddenly retreated, retreating through several sub-walls, and retreating rapidly along the route they came.
Under the fierce battle, neither the experienced Lu Jiude nor the fierce battle of Yang Tinglin were able to seize this excellent counterattack opportunity and watched the Qing army evacuate in an orderly manner.
"Counterattack, counterattack, all of them are pressed..." The old charlatan on the side immediately ordered: "All the fork soldiers are here, our chance is here, I'm waiting for this time."
"We have many enemies and are few, so be careful of fraud." Yang Tinglin shouted and reminded.
The defenders were able to stand by relying on the advantages of the terrain and various clever settings on the city. If they rushed out and fought with the enemy indifferently, if the Qing soldiers counterattacked, they would be completely over.
"I'm just a fool, what else can I do at this time? Are you afraid of being beaten by the Tartars?" The old charlatan jumped three feet high to curse Yang Tinglin and Lu Jiude's stupidity: "This is our main force. I have never seen a fool like you. Why don't you fight back quickly? You old mother, you're so stupid..."
When is this time? Even if the commander of the Qing army was a pig, it would be impossible to withdraw troops at this critical moment. The Qing army was quickly pulling off the city wall. Would it be so stupid that it attacked again?
After all, Lu Jiude's experience is much richer, so he first reacted. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, the army to die is here, our team has arrived, the Tartars are no longer able to do it, they will fight for our family and avenge the tragic death brothers..."
Seeing Lu Jiude spread his hair and lifting his sword, Yang Tinglin finally understood.
Although Lu Jiude is an eunuch, he should be considered a pure soldier. His first reaction is to pursue the enemy. However, a civil servant like Yang Tinglin did not have the same reaction as a soldier. Instead, he felt dizzy for a while, and he could hardly stand up. He seemed to be paralyzed, muttering like a fool: "My Ming Dynasty has finally been saved, Long Live Worry, Nandu Wu Worry. The red flag reports the victory, and quickly report the news to Long Live, just say that our army has launched a counterattack..."
This performance made the old charlatan curl his lips fiercely. It would be better to take the opportunity to kill two more Tartars if you report the victory to the palace and have the time to win. If you report the victory to the palace, you will have reinforcements? I really don’t know what these officials think.
The pursuit of the Qing army was rapidly unfolding, and the city was already full of joy. The people who were helping the war shouted loudly with tears in their eyes, as if they were reborn: "The Tartars retreated, the Tartars retreated..."
"The Tartars are defeated, and the city is still in our hands..."
"Blessed by Buddha, blessed by ancestors, God finally opened his eyes."
A red flag fluttered down from the top of the city. The commander holding the flag flew onto a horse and quickly passed through several streets. He kept shouting along the road: "The Tartars have retreated, our army has won a great victory, our army has won a great victory."
"The Tartars retreated, and our army won a great victory."
Although this victory was reported too early, it was an indisputable fact that the Tartar soldiers retreated from the city. As the Red Flag News passed through the streets, I don’t know how many people burst into tears and cried in embrace: “The city has been saved, and our home has been saved.”
"Come incense to Lord Buddha quickly..."
For a few days, the people were uneasy in a dull and depressed panic. After finally waiting for the good news of the red flag, the dark clouds pressing on their hearts finally dissipated, as if they were happy in the New Year: "I said, this south is the spiritual land of Hongwu Lord Longxing, and our ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were shocked. How could the little Tartars show their majesty? Isn't this a good news? Haha..."
"The new emperor ascended the throne and continued the orthodox. The saint king was in power, and the soldiers who were in charge of the army would not work hard? Our Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation will begin today!"
"Get some wine and meat, go to the city wall to reward our team..."
The fast horse, who was carrying the red flag and the good news, rode on the imperial road like lightning, and the sound of the hooves hitting the stone slab sounded so comfortable and comfortable, as festive as the firecrackers of the New Year.
The Huangmen took over the red flag that reported the victory, his face turned tilted, and he spoke much more politely: "Thank you brothers ahead, my brothers, let's report the good news to the Lord."
Waving the red flag of victory, his footsteps were unspeakable, and he shouted loudly: "The Tartars have been defeated, the soldiers in front have reported the victory, I am very happy, I am reported the victory..."
Still far away, the call of victory was heard in Wuying Hall. The new emperor Zhu Cilang suddenly stood up and was about to step away from his seat. Suddenly, he thought of his identity and hurriedly made a calm and continued to sit upright as usual.
The few twenty ministers below also heard it. This is great news.
These days, the Qing army has launched a large-scale invasion and has taken the powerful attack with Huaiyang. Who is not worried about the Nandu? Who is not worried about the new dynasty?
Everyone knows the power of the Tartars. Who else can stop the entire Ming Dynasty? Whether it is Emperor Zhu Cixuan or the officials and civilians below, can you still feel unhappy? How can you not have any thoughts of one kind or another?
But no matter what, we finally waited for this good news. As long as the Tartars retreated, the rest would be good things, and they would be divided into hundreds of officials and each had a department... The new dynasty lacked people, and there would be fewer chores in various chores? Those standing here can be regarded as loyal ministers who have always been with the new dynasty. Many good chores must be selected first.
Everyone was ready to express their congratulations in their hearts, and they were ready to use the most gorgeous words. If you don’t praise them hard, when will you wait?
The palace maids on duty took over the red flag that reported the victory, followed the rules in the palace, and reported in a rare loud voice: "Long live, Hong Fu, Qi Tian, the officials in the court worked together, and the soldiers in the front fought for their lives, and finally defeated the Qing army... The enemy had retreated first, and the city was as solid as a golden soup. Yang and Lu, the two archers, wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursued each other, begged Long Live to report..."
Zhu Cilang was a young man after all. After all, he could not stand up and shouted with a look of fire: "Accurate."
The war ahead was like fire, and it was impossible for everyone to see the fighter plane slipping away in vain and waiting for the emperor's will. This was just based on the inherent convention.
In my memory, the Ming army has always been defeated in every battle. The Tartars fought from outside the pass to Jiangnan, and everyone didn’t even have a chance to breathe. Now there is finally a chance to counterattack, which makes the young emperor unhappy? He also speaks very powerfully: "I will give you a reward to the soldiers in front, chase the enemy, and restore our country's territory..."
As soon as this sentence came out, dozens of ministers who had already prepared below immediately knelt down, shouting long live the mountain, and the sound of praise from all kinds of people was like a sea of roar: "I refresh my inspiration, and the soldiers in front of me want to serve..."
"The southern capital is cleared, and the south of the Yangtze River is safe, and the recovery of the northern land is just around the corner."
"My saints of the Ming Dynasty are in power, and the whole country is united. We should start a prosperous era and rejuvenate again..."
Although I knew that these were only praised for a moment, the young emperor was still full of confidence: during the time of the blessing of the vassal state, the Qing army fled in the city, and as soon as his orthodox blood cleaned up the mess, he fought the Tartars withdrew. As long as he worked hard to govern, he was close to the virtuous ministers and stayed away from the villain, cleaned up the ancestors' rivers and mountains, and fulfilled the emperor's last wishes, it was just a natural thing.
"Don't be apart from wine and sex, and do diligent in government affairs, and care about the people..." The young emperor's mind was a little hot, and he reminded himself over and over again how to be a good emperor and how to revive the Ming Dynasty: "Refresh the administration of officials, reorganize the military and military, and recover the northern land..."
The north of the city has entered the final stage of decisive battle.
Because of the lessons of the past, Duoduo no longer dared to divide the new army and the main Manchu army too far, but mixed it with it, dominated by Tong Tulai's Han army flag. The main new army followed closely behind the Han army flag, and Duoduo's headquarters' personal army hall, forming a huge wedge shape.
At the battle, both sides used all the artillery fire at the same time.
At this time, Fu Erbiao from the cannon camp began to swear and scold her.
The artillery range of the death army was very limited, and they could only support the fork soldiers in front in field battles and suppress the enemy's bow and arrow group. It would be too difficult to truly achieve long-range strikes.
Fortunately, there were not many artillery pieces from the Tartars, and most of them were temporarily seized from various parts of Jiangnan, so the threat posed was not very big.
"I'm going to take him, what's the hell out of his horse? Why did he run so slowly?" Fu Er blind man kept beating the horse power of the cannon and kept cursing.
"That's not a horse, it's a mule."
"Mule? I'm taking his mother, this is a mule? It's not as good as a slow bull." Seeing the fork soldiers jumping forward one after another, even the relatively slow musket soldiers surpassed the cannon camp, how could the blind Fu Er not be in a hurry?
The artillery fire here cannot reach the enemy, and the enemy's artillery fire can be fired. Although there are not many artillery left in the artillery battalion, it has to be filled in to provide fire support, otherwise the brothers who hold the fork will only suffer losses.
Fortunately, the Qing army was determined to make breakthroughs and made rapid progress. It was just a blink of an eye when entering the range: "Stamp the cannon, splatter, splatter, so turn it on to make a bird's feather? Tighten it, tighten it..."
The artillery fire of Fu Erbiaozi had not yet been in place, and the Huaiyang army in front had already been taken over by Qing troops.
The Huaiyang Army, which was slanted from the flank, allowed the enemy's forward to attack the neck.
"Avenge revenge for the supervisor, kill."
Sdewe rushed over with the lead.
The two armies are also considered "old acquaintances". One is brave and the other is bloody. The Huaiyang Army fought all its strength as soon as it came up.
The neck of the team was slightly sunken and a hundred steps down, and a team of the Qing army also broke out from their left shoulder to intercept the Huaiyang army.
Since both sides advanced at high speed, they had just enough time to shoot three times, and the archers on both sides lost their power and pulled out their knives to join the battle group.
It can be said that the enemy was particularly jealous when they met. The Huaiyang Army collided with a group of Han army flags.
Like two rapids hedging, the first part of the contact is quickly distracted by the opponent's huge inertia, and then it will soon penetrate and merge with each other, and the most tragic and bloody hand-to-hand combat begins.
The muffled sound of the spear stabbed into the chest and abdomen, the deep sound of the heavy knife easily cutting the skin on the bones, the shocking cry and the shrill screams were immediately intertwined.
The flying limbs, the blood of the artery pumped out by the powerful pulse of the heart, shot out in the air, the red is bright and the red is shocking, and the dust drips in an instant, blending into the soil.
To be continued...
