Chapter 477: The Battle of Armageddon Ning Jin

Everything that Saragula put forward was a little more important on the basis of the original conditions, including the territorial claim to the Heilongjiang region, which was originally the land that the Russians had always longed for, and which in their words was called the Amur River.

Zhang Tingyu has no way to raise objections, after all, it is now the Qing Dynasty that has a request, no matter how important it is, but for now, it can only be trade-off. Of course, Zhang Tingyu is not completely without conditions.

"The conditions put forward by your envoy can be agreed to by our court, but there is only one point, the rebels in this battle may attack the Beijing division, and the 1,500 people of your embassy need to join our army in the battle."

Sara Mula thought for a moment, nodded, and said softly: "The empire has always been very friendly to friends, if your country insists on this, the Russian warriors will naturally be happy to join your army, but there is one thing, we are here to help the Great Qing Kingdom fight....... In the event that your army escapes, our army will retreat on its own according to the situation. ”

Strictly speaking, 1,500 people will not play a role in a general war of hundreds of thousands of people, and the reason why Zhang Tingyu asked for this is to hammer a nail in this agreement, as long as the Russians are dragged into the war, it is up to them whether to withdraw at that time.

Therefore, Zhang Tingyu thought for a while, and said very happily: "As soon as a word is decided, this agreement can be signed immediately." ”

Count Sara Gula naturally knew Zhang Tingyu's intentions in his heart, but for him, it didn't matter, after all, no matter what the circumstances, the Russian Empire would not be afraid.

"It's a deal."

From this moment on, the Qing and Russian sides really became real allies, although the Qing court paid a very heavy price, but it was still within the acceptable range, as for the Russian Empire, they also thought that they had got a big advantage, but later development, they exclaimed that this was the biggest mistake.

But how the future will develop, for the current Zhang Tingyu and Count Sara Ulla, they are not clear, when Prince Zhuang Yunlu signed the agreement, everyone is looking forward to a bright future.

.......

After Song Kejin surrendered, the situation in Zhili changed a lot, and led to a series of chain problems, just like the Qing army commanded by Yongzheng did not continue to move forward, but chose to return to the Beijing Division.

And when the Qing army began to turn, the Qing army in Shengjing had begun to assemble, although they had not yet received Yongzheng's will, but it was also their due power and duty to send troops to destroy the Fu Han army in the direction of Ningjin.

Due to the rush of time, Shengjing has not yet received the will of Yongzheng to change generals, and Shengjing General Yi Libu has gathered more than 17,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners in just a few days, and they have gathered in Shengjing one by one with the fastest efficiency, waiting to go to Jinzhou.

I have to say that when facing a life-and-death crisis, the Eight Banners were still very united and efficient, and they abandoned the prejudices of the past, and even showed an unprecedented determination to incorporate the Eight Banners veterans who were fifty or sixty years old, and the Eight Banners teenagers who were as low as the 14th Five-Year Plan, into the army, which was enough for more than 17,000 people.

Near the beginning of the expedition, Iribu wrote letters to the Jilin general Batai and the Heilongjiang general Nasutu, the purpose of which was naturally to ask them to gather the whole army and rush to Shengjing to garrison, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, it is naturally not wrong to prepare in advance, but the Qing army on these two sides will not arrive in Shengjing until the spring of next year at the earliest.

Although Prince Hongli of Heshuo Bao was only a teenager, he already understood how serious the situation was now, so he personally sent Iribu to lead the whole army in front of the gate of Shengjing City.

"General Elibu, now that the state affairs are in danger, fortunately, the general has worked tirelessly and expeditioned to Ningjin, this trip is far away, and I hope the general can open the flag and win!"

The young Prince Heshuobao had a bit of grimness on his face, in fact, in his heart, he hoped that this battle could be fought by himself, after all, in Hongli's heart, he was still quite unconvinced by the Nanban Emperor who was not much older than himself, and in his opinion, if he had the opportunity, he would be able to lead the army to victory.

Yi Libu is a rough man, naturally he doesn't know what Hongli thinks in his heart, he just sighed slightly, and then said solemnly: "Chu Shun is not an ordinary thief, no matter how the slave fights, he must destroy the enemy in Jinzhou, otherwise it will be bad....... The prince should be a good student to study with the master in Shengjing, and in the future, I will have to ask the prince to come out to support me......"

Strictly speaking, these words are very taboo, but Yi Libu knows in his heart that it is difficult for him to have a good result in the previous things, so he can't care about so many taboos, and he will hide Hongli's identity as the prince to point out, he naturally hopes that Hongli will rise again with the Eight Banners in the future no matter what.

Hongli nodded seriously and said softly: "Ama is struggling to support in the pass, this king, as a minister, should have shared it for Grandma [ABC fo], but now that the war is in crisis, Hongli hates to wear armor and fight for me in the Quartet......."

Hearing Hongli's words, there was a faint desire to go to the battlefield, of course Elibu understood the other party's thoughts, but this was naturally not allowed, and he was not polite at the moment, and said in a low voice: "It is not easy for the prince to think about sharing the burden for the emperor, but the prince's status is precious, and it is related to the power of the Qing Dynasty, but he cannot be reckless." ”

Hongli pursed his lips, and finally didn't say anything, just on the city wall of Shengjing, watching the Eight Banners army march in the direction of Jinzhou, the carriages and horses were rolling, and the morale was like a dragon.

Remember the past, in the first year of Tiancong, the Great Khan Emperor Taiji was like this, led an army of 60,000 to besiege Jinzhou and Ningyuan, when the other party was Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yingkun, the deputy envoy Bi Zisu and others, and this battle was fought extremely fiercely, and the result was that the Dajin soldiers suffered countless injuries, and Jinzhou was unbreakable.

Hongli shook his head, he didn't know why he thought of this past, and cast a shadow on his heart, at that time, it was not called Daqing, but Dajin, and it was the opposite of the status quo when the country was rising....... Hongli tried to stop thinking about it, but the worry in his heart became more and more serious.

In late November, the Qing army's Shengjing general Yi Libu, Shengjing deputy capital Fude, Xiongyue deputy capital Yurui, Xingjing deputy capital Delin, and Jinzhou deputy capital Ruilin led more than 18,000 troops to the front of the Zhongqian Acropolis and faced the Janissary Division of the Fu Han Army, which was waiting for battle.

Although the Qing Dynasty and Ning Jin were in conflict, Yi Libu couldn't care so much at the moment, although he didn't know that the edict to deal with him was about to come, but he already had a premonition in his heart, and if he wanted to change all this, he could only make a high enough military exploit here - such as driving the entire army of the Fu Han Army into the sea, then he could continue to be his Shengjing general in peace, otherwise he would wait to be imprisoned.

It has to be said that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai have preserved the demeanor of their ancestors to a large extent, they have organized the offensive formation very quickly, the horse team of nearly 3,000 people is eyeing in the distance, and the remaining Eight Banners foot soldiers are holding bird knives, and some people are holding spears, and seventy or eighty sub-mother cannons and Weiyuan cannons have been pulled out in front of the formation.

However, in the eyes of the Fu Han army on the other side, the arrival of the Qing army was tantamount to a surprise. The reason is very simple, if the Qing army doesn't come again, they will have to go over to fight Ningjin, and they can't always be entrenched in the middle and front acropolis, after all, the food they really carry is limited, and logistics are always a big problem.

Relatively speaking, the Fu Han army currently occupies the advantage of the terrain, and there is no need to worry about what the defenders of Shanhaiguan behind will do.

"The current battle has some meaning of the Ningjin War, and it seems that Qing Tartar is also going to fight hard."

Ning Zuyi smiled slightly, in his clairvoyant vision, it could be seen that the soldiers of the Qing army were making preparations before the battle, and their morale seemed to be relatively vigorous, and several teams of cavalry had been whistling past the two fronts, but they also knew the power of the firearms of the Fu Han army, but they didn't dare to do too much.

Yan Zhiyi nodded lightly, it was expected that the Qing army would come from the direction of Shengjing to send reinforcements, but just like Ning Zuyi said, the criticality of this battle for the Qing court was no less than the Battle of Ningjin that year.

It's just that the current Qing army is not the Qing army of the year, and the current Fu Han army is not the Ming army of the year.

"Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that the Qing troops in the direction of Shengjing have arrived, and as for Heilongjiang and Jilin, there should still be some Qing troops, but due to time problems, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"As long as we fight this battle well, the Eight Banners in the gate will be completely in the cage........ In the future, we will be able to completely purge the Qing army in the pass, and then we will be able to go out of the customs and plow the court to sweep the holes and completely eliminate the troubles. ”

Ning Zuyi was holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, with a little smile on his face, he didn't believe that the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai could make up such an elite again........

Chief of Staff Yan Zhiyi shook his head and said softly: "According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, the Qing court's previous order to reclaim the land was implemented for too short a time, and there are not too many people outside the customs, and the main cultivated land is concentrated in the western Liaoning corridor and the Shengjing area, and if we control here, we will control their lifeline." ”

This is a big truth, in fact, the Qing army had to come over to fight with the Fu Han army, because there was really no way, at present, hundreds of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners outside the Guan, old and young, are all eating mouths, if there is no food in the Guannai and Ningjin areas, I am afraid that a large number of people will starve to death when they are hungry.

Except for some of the Shengnuzhen who can still hunt in the old forests outside the Guan, the other Eight Banners have long stopped relying on fishing and hunting for a living, especially in winters like now, many people are living on the little remaining grain.

It can be said that for the current Qing army, this is a battle they have to fight.

Yan Zhiyi looked at the horse teams in the distance again, especially the horses under their command were all good horses outside the gate, and could only sigh softly: "It's a pity that our only baby pimple didn't come over, otherwise we can have a hard fight with them, our horses are much stronger than these." ”

Ning Zuyi glanced at Yan Zhiyi, and said angrily: "We have less than 3,000 horses on our side, but Your Majesty's side has to face the elite of 50,000 Manmeng horses, besides, when the stock in the horse farm rises in the future, naturally there is no need to worry about horses." ”

"As for the moment, the two or three thousand horses of the Qing army can't become a big climate."

.........

For the Qing army, they would not think that the horse team could not become a climate, in fact, in this battle, the Shengjing general Iribu valued the horse team of more than 2,700 people the most, and even thought that it was the real hole card of this battle.

As in the past, the Qing army began to tentatively attack the defense line of the middle and front acropolis, and due to the relatively short range of their artillery, they could only follow the large forces and began to advance little by little in the direction of the defensive line.

"Boom—"

On the contrary, on the artillery position of the Fu Han army, nearly 100 artillery pieces began to launch artillery bombardments, and a large number of flowering shells were fired out and fell among the Qing army crowd, creating patches of blood mist.

However, the Qing army has now learned wisely, because the current formation is still far away, there is no need to concentrate troops to attack, so they spread the queue very widely, and when the flowering bullets of the Fu Han army fell into the crowd, they did not cause too many casualties.

For the Qing army, their plan was to wait until they were almost at the distance of the assault before forming a tight formation and then launching an attack, so the current skirmisher front would not affect the combat strength.

At the same time, the Qing army's horse team also began to move, and they began to detour from both ends of the defense line, like a lone wolf on the grassland, intending to look for the flaws and loopholes of the Fu Han army, as long as there was an opportunity, they would pounce fiercely and bite each other's throats.

"Boom—"

The artillery of the Qing army also sounded, and the number of their artillery was about the same as that of the Praetorian Division, but the quality was much worse, so when it was fired, the sound was very dull and weak, most of them were solid bullets, and there were not many that really hit the position of the Fu Han army, and the casualties caused were even less pitiful.

According to previous examples, the artillery battle between the two sides had to continue for a while, and only when the Qing army entered a position suitable for charging would they choose to stop the artillery bombardment and move on to the next tactical step.

Therefore, when the artillery of both sides continued to bombard, each other's commanders were also observing the movements on the battlefield, but for the commander of the Qing army, Yi Libu, his brows were constantly wrinkled, because he found that the Fu Han army was more difficult and terrifying than he imagined.......

The reason is not the result of the artillery battle, but the performance of the soldiers on both sides, strictly speaking, the Qing army is the Eight Banners Army outside the pass this time, which can be regarded as a first-class elite, and the morale of the battle is still quite high, and they will not be intimidated by some casualties at all, but even so, they are still a little scattered in the face of the artillery bombardment of the Fu Han army.

As for the Fu Han army, it was different, they didn't seem to know what they were afraid of, they just set up a thin defense line around the small city of the middle and front acropolis, and they didn't have the slightest fear of the horse army behind them, which made people a little incomprehensible.

Why shouldn't they be afraid? Or what is it that keeps them from being afraid?

Elibu's brow furrowed tightly, and his hands holding the clairvoyant mirror had turned a little pale from being too hard.
