Chapter 222:-for-tat

Since the Qing army surrounded Liantan Town, the siege has been more than ten days, and countless methods have been thought of in the middle, and many soldiers have been killed and wounded, but they still stop at Liantan Town, how to fight this battle is not endless, the key is that in the face of tragic casualties, many people have even shown some madness.

After more than ten days of attack, the casualties of the Qing army from top to bottom reached more than 23,000, of which nearly 20,000 were killed or wounded in the Green Battalion, and more than 3,000 were also lost in the Eight Banners. The morale of the entire Qing army camp was bleak, and everyone was earthy. Especially the green camp, which is not in the eyes of the high-level of the Eight Banners, has become a piece of scattered sand, and there is no trace of fighting spirit.

The Qing army fought uncomfortably, but the Fu Han army was not good, Uzhi Jing and Yue Lingfeng, the two of them, also used their own milk strength, after the artillery bullets were consumed to seventy-seven eighty-eight, now the Fu Han army no longer uses artillery support in every battle, and even the ammunition for the flintlock pistol is not enough, in the face of the Qing army's attack, they have to use bayonets and grenades to greet.

However, the number of remaining grenades is not too much, but it makes Ujijing a little worried, if the Qing army continues to attack so blindly, the Fu Han army may not be able to resist, during this time, the second garrison division is relatively well prepared in all aspects, there are nearly 3,000 casualties, most of which are consumed in hand-to-hand combat, which also brings some hope to the Qing army.

In this case, Ujijing was no longer steady, and began to think of some destructive tricks, such as when he specially selected a group of elite soldiers, when the two sides were in a scuffle, they specially went to implement some "decapitation tactics", if they saw someone in the Qing army who was gorgeously dressed, they would come over together, and shoot at the same time while the other party was not paying attention, so as to ensure that the enemy general was killed.

In addition, when the Qing army was resting, Ujijing would also order the artillery to bombard, and it would not hit many rounds, just to play a role in disturbing the enemy, so that the Qing army would be tired and quickly consume physical strength. If the Qing army ignores it, then Ujijing will also choose a period and send people out of the city to attack the Qing army's camp, anyway, it will not let the Qing army have a good rest.

However, these small measures are indeed quite effective, at least invisibly, the Qing army has to be on guard at all times even if it is sleeping, so that the Qing army naturally cannot get a normal rest, and in the daytime attack, it will further weaken the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, so after seeing that this strategy is effective, Ujijing is very proud, and named it the strategy of tired soldiers.

The cannon roared, the shouts resounded in the sky, and the Qing army launched an attack again, but this time it seemed to be a real move, and a full 3,000 people were dispatched, all of whom were soldiers of the Eight Banners Forward Battalion and the Firearms Battalion, and the weapons in their hands were very sophisticated, all of them were shotguns produced from the firearms battalion, and the quality was much stronger than that of the Green Battalion.

Ujijing stood in front of the table, and there was a big sand table on it, and there were more than a dozen small red flags in the sand table, which all represented the current situation of the Fu Han army, in addition to the small red flags, there were several black ones, which represented the men and horses dispatched by the Qing army, and the two sides were now intertwined, and it was difficult to separate.

At this time, the water cup on the table was faintly water-streaked, and it seemed that the movement was not small. Ujijing knew in his heart that this was the artillery of the Qing army that had been pulled up, and when hundreds of sub-cannons were fired at the same time, although the voice was dull and low, the movement that could be created was not small, which also showed that the Qing army had begun to fight with its old life.

"There has been a fight in the north, and the three regiments are on guard, and there is a lot of pressure." Yue Lingfeng walked in from outside the door, his face was a little cold, revealing a chill.

Uji nodded, he naturally knew that the three regiments at this time had just been redeployed, and they were originally regiments with a large proportion of recruits, and their combat effectiveness was not outstanding, but now under such a fierce attack by the Qing army, it would be difficult to hold on.

It's just that the current Ujijing can't squeeze out more troops, except for a guard battalion belonging to the division, he has no other reserves, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that if this guard battalion is sent up casually, then there will be an emergency later, and there will really be nothing to do.

This hole card can't be played like this under any circumstances.

Ujijing didn't have the slightest movement on his face, and said in a deep voice: "There is a lot of pressure in the north, I know, tell Dong Yulin that when I really can't hold it, I will naturally send someone up." But not at the moment, good steel has to be ground out. ”

"I'm afraid the north is only the side of the Qing army's attack, we still have to keep an eye on the west, in the past few days, that side has not been attacked by the Qing army, resulting in a change in our thinking, when encountering a situation, it is easy to subconsciously pull the defenders in the west away, I think this should not be the negligence of the Qing army."

Yue Lingfeng's pupils shrank slightly, and he also thought of the seriousness of this, "Now there are only two battalions in the west, and there are only a thousand people...... I've got to keep an eye on it. ”

Uji nodded, but just re-focused on the sand table, but his mind was not on it, but silently looking forward to the arrival of the news of the Metropolitan Governor.

"Kill! Serve the emperor! Serve the Qing Dynasty! ”

The vanguard commander Ehai personally led the brothers of the forward battalion, and rushed to the front first, and the rest of the forward battalion soldiers were also very excited, and they rushed all the way towards the position of the Fu Han army.

As the elite of the Eight Banners of Beijing, this army has always held itself very high, thinking that when it comes to a strong army in the world, then they are designated as being on the list. Not only did these people think so about the Eight Banners Army, but even the good deeds in the Beijing Division compared the soldiers of each banner and battalion, and in the end they came to a conclusion, that is, the brave is the vanguard.

However, such a brave and vanguard army, when facing the artillery and muskets of the Fu Han army, it was still just a piece of paper - it would shatter when it was poked. In the previous repeated attacks, they were defeated by the Fu Han army in various ways, if it was just muskets and artillery, but the key was to fight with white knives, and the men in the forward battalion were also turned into the wind.

In the face of this situation, others are just fine, but Ehai is anxious, he was originally the deputy capital of Mongolia in the Zhenghuang Banner, and later got Kangxi's appreciation, and became the forward commander of the forward battalion. But what I never expected was that the Fu Han army would be so difficult, but it made Ehai lose face day by day.

"Old and young masters, we must cheer up! So why did Chu Wei win so many battles? Even if we are not afraid of death, we can't spare our lives now, and no matter how much we spare our lives, the big guys will be finished! ”

Ehai's words were also sincere, but he forced the big guy to die, he was upright, and naturally he didn't want to be such a person who stood up and talked about it, so he took the lead in the attack, which was regarded as a first.

Seeing that the Qing army was boiling, Dong Yulin, the commander of the third regiment, did not show weakness, and now he can be a regiment commander level figure in the Han Army, it is not simple, everyone is also rolling in blood, and he let out an angry roar at the moment.

"Soldiers of the Third Regiment, today is the time for us to die in battle! The Retreater, Slash! ”
