Chapter 1379: The Battle of Feiyun Bridge (1)
PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "Little Lotus Tiger" and "Tian Yuan Muge".
Chen Jin was a Qing minister on the face at this time, but in his bones he was actually a "traitor to the Qing court", so how could he ignore the opinions of Suke Saha and Sony.
When the Feiyun Bridge in the Lu Zhiyu was blocked, Chen Jin's quarrel with Suke Saha and Sony also reached the most intense point.
Chen Jin even threatened that if the two of them didn't shut up, they would take it directly, and his excuse was that Suke Saha and Sonny falsely conveyed their will and shook the morale of the army, because Dolgon was the regent of the emperor's father, and his edict was far more authoritative than the so-called will.
God knows how fierce the anger in the hearts of Sukh Saha and Sonny is, this is simply Xiucai meeting soldiers...... No, it's the scholar who met the rebel and can't tell the reason, or two.
Arguing to this extent, it is useless to quarrel again.
There happened to be a report from the Qing army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was repulsed, which further fueled Chen Jin's prestige, and Chen Jin proudly threatened to turn Peixian County into the grave of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and wash away the shame of the river!
Although this is a bit arrogant, the terrain of Pei County is indeed unfavorable for the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Suke Saha and Sonny had no choice but to leave Peixian and retreat to Yanzhou to wait for the will of the Qing court.
However, they did not go to Yanzhou Mansion to govern Ziyang, because it was already Dolbo's territory, and they went to Dongchang Mansion, because it was the closest to the capital, and it was also the only place in Yanzhou Mansion that could compete with Dolbo, where there was an army - the former Ming Ping Shanwei.
……。
Could it be that Chen Jin can really get his wish, and with his 6,000 men, he can block the Northern Expeditionary Army south of the Pao River?
Obviously, Chen Jin is dreaming! Do his X's spring and autumn white dream!
When the Lu domain reached the south bank of the Pao River, Wu Zheng had already led the Xuzhou Northern Expeditionary Army to the north.
That is to say, in the early morning of the second day when Lu Zhiyu retreated and set up camp, Wu Zheng and 3,000 people had already arrived, and the two armies met.
After listening to Lu Zhiyu's report, Wu Zheng smiled.
It's not that Xiaolu Zhiyu lost the battle, but that the "living treasure" of laughing Chen Jin is still in Pei County, Chen Jin is here, and Hu Ni Ya Luo and should also be there, Hu Ni Ya Luo and the Manchu general who was under Chen Jin's jurisdiction and blocked Wu Zheng in Luliang Mountain.
Wu Zheng has been "worried" about Huni Yaluohe, of course, it is not that Wu Zheng likes him, but that Wu Zheng thinks about his head, and he thinks about it too much.
The souls of the 2,000 innocent people who died under the iron hooves of Pizhou need the life of Huni Ya Luohe to pay tribute.
At this time, Wu Zheng had confidence.
Because with the rendezvous of Song An and the arrival of the first batch of supplies in Xuzhou, Wu Zheng at this time had artillery, although most of them were tiger squat cannons brought by Song An, but the six-pounder artillery also reached eight.
These artillery pieces may not be enough to disperse the attack, but it is suitable at this time, because since our army can only break through from the Feiyun Bridge, the enemy will also gather in one place to resist, which will save trouble.
After discussing specific matters with Lu Zhiyu and Song An, Wu Zheng ordered Shen to launch a general attack on the north bank at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Why did you choose to apply for the bid?
There are three reasons: First, the enemy is paralyzed, after a day of "pillow and waiting", the enemy will not enter the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack, and he must have slacked off in his heart, and seeing that it is about to get dark, he will think that the Northern Expeditionary Army will not attack today.
Second, if an army of 6,000 wants to rush over a bridge, the density is equivalent to suicide, so it must be a choice of crossing points, and at least two or three.
In the end, it takes time to collect the ferry, and the enemy wants to resist the enemy with the river, so he will naturally collect all the ferries by the river and not leave it to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
……。
Three quarters of the hour.
The Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly appeared on the south bank, and the Qing army on the north bank did have a period of confusion, but quickly calmed down.
Also, yesterday's tactics perfectly repelled the Northern Expeditionary Army, which made the Qing army very confident that history would repeat itself today.
They were no longer hiding, and eight hundred crossbowmen flocked to the bridgehead, the infantry flocked to both sides of the bridgehead, the shieldmen in front and the spearmen behind, and an iron-clad heavy cavalry behind the crossbowmen.
This tactic is common, but it can be useful.
When encountering dense bows and crossbows, they must fight with shield soldiers, and if they really hold the arrows, then as the Qing army intended, the iron cavalry will sweep the entire bridge deck like a bulldozer, and there is no way to fight back.
When Wu Zheng saw this ironclad cavalry in the telescope, he excitedly patted Song An's shoulder, which hurt Song An's teeth and cracked his mouth, "Sure enough, I didn't run!" ”
Wu Zheng handed the telescope to Song An, and immediately ordered, "According to the established plan...... Attack! ”
To the south of Feiyun Bridge, the dense Northern Expeditionary Army's formation suddenly separated left and right, and eight six-pounder guns were quickly pushed out.
The distance of two or three miles was the effective range of the six-pounder gun, and the sound of the cannon sounded continuously in an instant.
……。
"Shelling!" Countless chaotic voices roared on the other side.
The improved Blossom Bullet has more power and more fragments, bursting through dense enemy formations.
It was more like a massacre, and there was no way, the forces of both sides were concentrated on both sides of the bridge.
And the enemy had fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army before, thinking that the Northern Expeditionary Army had no artillery, and the range of the musket could not reach the opposite bank, which was also the main reason why Lu Zhiyu was caught off guard yesterday, once he rushed to the bridge, it was difficult to detour and dodge.
Of course, relying on the salvo of eight artillery pieces, it was impossible to repel thousands of people on the other side.
At least the cavalry in full iron armor, in the face of the pouring of artillery shells, there was no other movement except for the somewhat cramped trampling of the war horses.
But the casualties of the infantry and crossbowmen were somewhat larger.
Huni Ya Luo and had to order the infantry to retreat two miles, this distance, once something happens, may counterattack in the blink of an eye.
But Hunitaro and obviously did not expect that what the Northern Expeditionary Army wanted was for them to retreat.
At the moment when the Qing army retreated, countless soldiers carrying the tools to cross the river appeared on the south bank of the river, fighting for the crossing! Rush the ferry!
Enraged, Huniyaro immediately ordered the infantry and crossbowmen to make a detour to the sides to prevent the Northern Expeditionary Army from crossing the river.
It should be said that this distance is completely interceptable.
But the question is, does the Northern Expeditionary Army really want to cross the river?
Was the shelling on the south bank really aimed at forcing back the enemy forces and covering the main force to cross the river?
No, definitely not!
When the Qing infantry and crossbowmen rushed to the north bank of the river and waited for them, the enemy's nightmare came.
Shells raining down on their heads, hiding? That's a dream!
The firing range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is too short, and it can only hit one mile at most.
The distance between the two sides of the river was two miles at the closest, so Wu Zheng had to come up with this method to open artillery on the river and kill the living forces of the enemy on the opposite bank.
Huniyaluohe is indeed a brave general, but he is too confident in his bravery, has no experience in commanding firearms combat, and also dislikes and is not good at using firearms to defeat the enemy.
