Chapter 202: The Lonely City Is Becoming More and More Dangerous

Wang Yonghe never expected that the trench he dug for himself would eventually become the place where he died, and the overwhelming grenades completely cut off his way of life.

There were originally 3,000 Qing soldiers on Changfeng Ridge, but after a round of grenades just now, more than seven or eight hundred people were killed and wounded in an instant, and they were all elites with shotguns, together with the adjutant general Wang Yonghe, everything was buried in the trench.

Hao Zhao was naturally unwilling to let go of the current great opportunity to reap the credit, when he led the remaining soldiers to load their bayonets and began to pursue the Qing soldiers, and the morale of the Qing soldiers had been completely shattered by this earth-shattering series of explosions, and the swords and guns in their hands were all lost, and no one could organize an effective resistance.

The so-called army of 3,000 people, almost like tofu, was destroyed by a finger, this scene was something Yue Zhongqi never expected, the method he came up with was actually not impeccable, but modern warfare is a system, not just a single way of fighting, if you want to rely only on the way of trench combat, you can't defeat the current Fu Han army.

Qian Ying has been watching the battle at the bottom of the mountain, he has never been nervous in his heart, and when he saw this scene on the mountain, his heart was completely relaxed, and his face showed a little triumph, it seems that this time, it is time to give a satisfactory return gift to the governor.

Hmph, who will dare to gossip about Lao Tzu when the time comes? In this battle, our Sixth Garrison Division fought beautifully!

While the iron was hot, Qian Ying also seized the opportunity and ordered a regiment under his command to go to Changfeng Ridge to support, but the remaining battle did not last long, just one afternoon, the remnants of the Qing army on Changfeng Ridge either died or surrendered, and only the remnants of about 100 people fled towards Anqing Fucheng.

"Send someone to tell the Metropolitan Governor that Changfeng Ridge has been completely taken by our army, and the first regiment of the Sixth Garrison Division is stationed on Changfeng Ridge to ensure that the Qing army's rear road is cut off. The next move of our division, please also ask the metropolitan governor to instruct. ”

Qian Ying sighed in his heart that he was still quite decisive at a critical time, and this hard work also paid off, and he defeated the entire Qing army in Changfengling with the strength of one battalion, which can be regarded as a great achievement that is quite gratifying and congratulatory.

After getting the news sent by Qian Ying, Ning Yu also felt a little happy in his heart, at least this shows that he is not very risky in this matter, although the Sixth Garrison Division is a newly formed division, its combat effectiveness is still above the Qing army!

For Hao Zhao, who emerged in this battle, Ning Yu also recorded it in a small book, of course, the role of this small book is to help Ning Yu better select talents and reserve talents in the future, it can also be said that as long as he is on this small book, then he will not be far from being promoted.

Ning Yu also knew why for Yue Lingfeng's request for battle, but he didn't allow the other party to bring his emotions to this battle at this moment, and only a calm general would not make low-level mistakes.

Of course, Ning Yu didn't want to give too much blow to Yue Lingfeng's fighting spirit, he thought about it carefully in his heart, then wrote a note, handed it to the attendant, and then handed it to Ujijing and Yue Lingfeng.

"While the spirit of war is welcome, it is even more important to distinguish the situation. Urgently ordered the second division to garrison and go out to Liantan Town to hold this place. ”

Uzhijing spread out the note in front of him, looked at Yue Lingfeng, who was pale, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Chief of Staff Yue, the Metropolitan Governor's move must be to prepare for the decisive battle against Kangxi, and you must not feel sorry for yourself." ”

Yue Lingfeng was only a little embarrassed for a while, but in a blink of an eye, he figured it out, whether it was Changfengling or Anqing City, in fact, it was not the strategic focus of this battle, the real focus was still Kangxi and his 100,000 army, and Liantan Town would also become a key place to block Kangxi's army to support Anqing, so the task assigned to the Second Garrison Division was not easy.

Defending Liantan Town, that must be the first line to face the Qing army, and it is not a simple matter to drag Kangxi here. And the current Second Garrison Division, if it wants to do this, I am afraid that it will need to pay a lot of casualties.

"Master Yu, I understand this principle. Don't worry, I'm going to organize the troops to march into Liantan Town. ”

Yue Lingfeng was not a master who liked to care, so he hurriedly went to prepare for the opening of the promotion, but when he glanced back at Anqing Mansion City, he also sighed slightly in his heart.

You and I brothers, when will we fight to the death?

Unlike Yue Lingfeng, Yue Zhongqi at this time already knew about the battle situation in Changfeng Ridge, after all, the distance was so close that even the sound of guns and cannons could be heard clearly, but he didn't know what the result was, but when the rout on Changfeng Ridge was brought back, his whole face was blue and black.

This useless thing! Three thousand people, not even a day!

Yue Zhongqi scolded the dead deputy general Wang Yonghe fiercely in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had died on the battlefield, he would have slashed Wang Yonghe with a knife. It's just that Yue Zhongqi didn't expect in his heart that it was the trench strategy he gave to defend against the enemy that made the Qing army on Changfeng Ridge completely defeated in just one day.

It's just that it is useless to blame anyone now, Yue Zhongqi also understands this truth in his heart, he has no intention of dwelling on the reasons for the defeat of Changfengling, maybe the Qing army's failures have been too much, which makes everyone have an inexplicable sense of despair in their hearts, that is, it is normal to lose, but it is not normal to win.

Of course, Yue Zhongqi was not willing to be swallowed up little by little, he very decisively gave up all other positions outside the city, prepared to concentrate all his troops in Anqing City, and then waited for Kangxi's 100,000 troops to arrive.

In order to further strengthen the city defense, Yue Zhongqi was no longer polite to the big households in Anqing City, he directly sent troops to forcibly absorb all the servants and domestic slaves of all the big families in the city, and then also transferred the young men in the city to the city wall to defend, although these young men were only holding simple swords, but also made the entire city defense number reach as many as 30,000 people.

Of course, among the 30,000 people, only half of them were green battalion soldiers, and the remaining half were young and strong people who were temporarily transferred, and their combat effectiveness was extremely poor. But Yue Zhongqi didn't care, he was a chess piece stuffed into Anqing by Emperor Kangxi, so naturally he had to do his duty as a chess piece, even if he sacrificed everyone in Anqing City, he didn't hesitate to do it.

"The spring of the war is bitter, and the lonely city is becoming more and more dangerous. Surrounded by the moon halo, divided like a fish. Repeatedly tired of the yellow dust, when the white feather is waved. Wrapped in sores are still out of battle, drinking blood is even more ......"

Yue Zhongqi recited this poem gently, but his heart became more and more determined, he looked at the horizon in the north, and slowly confided the last two sentences, and also spit out his beliefs.

"Faithfulness should be invincible, and steadfastness in forgiveness. No one reports the Son of Heaven, and he is scheming. ”

Yue Shan on the side didn't understand, he wouldn't understand the state of mind of his adults at this time, and he wouldn't know that this poem was written by Zhang Xun, but in Yue Zhongqi's heart, Suiyang nearly a thousand years ago and Anqing City today seem to have overlapped.

However, Anqing is not Suiyang after all, and Yue Zhongqi is destined not to be Zhang Xun.
