Chapter 112: Shot and Shot (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The rabble of seven or eight thousand Tang Tong troops was divided into eight formations, each of which was a battalion, facing the Ming army that came out of Weibei City in Tianjin, and they were lined up, waiting to be shot......
About 100 of them in each battalion were veterans of the battle, who were behind the battle, and the rest were cannon fodder forcibly recruited. When they first came, some people still had the heart to fight for wealth. But after a few days of hard fighting, regardless of the dead or wounded, even if they are intact, they are already so tired that they have shed their skin, where can they still have the strength to fight? Now seeing the ironclad cavalry of the Ming army coming out of the city, all of them have trembling legs and stomachs, and before they can take over the battle, some people are crying and trying to escape.
However, it was not the turn of these deserters to take action from the four divisions of Tang Lao, who had a large horizontal formation, and they had veterans from each battalion to solve the problem.
The tactics that Tang Tong is adopting now are actually typical rogues playing. With the elite of the old battalion, the rabble. The rabble is in the front, the old battalion is in the back, and in the end, the soldiers are still in the house. One level kills one level, one level presses one level.
The veterans of Donald Laosi's first battalion belong to the middle of this "battle chain", and there are two layers of veterans in each battalion and cannon fodder in each battalion in front. Behind the fourth, there are four or five hundred family members of Tang Tong.
Under normal circumstances, the veterans of this battalion of Donald Si would not be engaged in attrition battles. They are the seeds of re-expansion! As long as Tang Tong keeps them, as long as Ding Zhuang is coerced in the future, he can quickly expand his troops.
However, today's situation is special, and Li Guo has already issued a strict order to contain the Ming army in the north of Tianjin at all costs.
So Tang Tong had already given Tang Laosi an order - when he couldn't bear it, he retreated to the barrier built with straw bags filled with dirt, and everyone waited for help.
As long as they are carried to the south side of the city and the battle is finished, Li Guo and Li Yan will bring troops to support. At that time, no matter whether the prince of Zhu Thief escapes or not, the Tang family army will have a hard time.
As for defeating the battle, it was impossible, and Tang Tong and Tang Laosi didn't believe it...... The general trend of the Ming Dynasty has gone, and there is no way to do it.
……
"He's N, when has it been, why do you still use this routine?"
Hao Shaoqi, who was marching with a big wooden tree, couldn't help but curse when he saw the Dashun army in front of him with different colors and chaotic formations.
He and his more than 200 brothers were forced to the battlefield by the Ming army, and they were not given a blade, but they were given a large wooden stick - Zhu Cihong was quite reasonable, and the purpose of giving the wooden tree was to keep his promise and prevent them from meeting their former brothers with swords and guns.
Now there are only wooden trees, and there are no knives and guns...... This shows that Prince Zhu is true to his word and worthy of trust for a lifetime.
Regarding Zhu Cihong's remarks, Hao Shaoqi was of course unconvinced. However, if he is not convinced, he can only put it in his heart, and he has to pretend to be convinced on his face - he is deceitful, of course, he has to be treacherous, and Zhu Cihong can't let Zhu Cihong see through it.
But when Hao Shaoqi went to the battlefield and saw the chaotic formation of the Dashun army on the opposite side, he was depressed in his heart. Dashun is the co-master of the world, why do you still use rogue tactics? These civilians who were forced into battle must have been captured around the Tianjin Acropolis. After this battle is fought, Tianjin Wei is not yet in vain!
Knock knock knock......
A tense war drum sounded in Hao Shaoqi's ears. He turned his head to see that a battalion of musketeers had finished lining up behind him, two horizontal columns. Among them, the firecrackers in the front row are all stabbed!
The sleeve cone is more than three feet long, and the thorn head is made of good iron, glowing with cold light! And the people holding these firearms are all beardless eunuch soldiers, but they all have protruding chests and bellies, and their eyes are fierce, and they seem to be more bullish than Li Zicheng's royal soldiers......
"He's N, and he doesn't want people to live...... Hao Shaoqi scolded in a low voice, putting away his thoughts about turning against the battlefield.
Two hundred and dozens of cones against the back, who dares to defect? And Hao Shaoqi's subordinates didn't even have a pedicure knife, just a dead big wooden stick. This thing is good for arrows, but not in hand-to-hand combat.
"Firebolt, charge, load, ignition rope, gun mouth raised upward......"
"Five steps and a whole team, listen to my command, move forward! One, two, three, four......"
Chen Shifang, the battalion general directly under the Huojiao Battalion of the Right Division of the New Army, who was shouting the password, was a eunuch in his thirties and was born in the pure army. After Pan Shuchen became the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, he made up for the lack of Eunuch Pan, and came to work for Zhu Cihong with full spirit.
Not only is he full of spirit, but the rest of the eunuchs and firecrackers in his right division's firecracker camp are also highly motivated - they are not ordinary eunuchs, and when they arrive in Jiangnan, they are all the palm prints, commanders, and pencils of the twenty-four eunuchs. Everyone is a great eunuch, a meritorious eunuch who overcomes difficulties from Long! Can we run out of momentum now?
The high-morale eunuch firecrackers pressed up, and Hao Shaoqi had no choice but to tear his throat and shout: "He N, all follow me, five steps and a whole team, one, two, three, four......"
He learned quite quickly, shouted the password, commanded more than 200 people under his command, and went up in a crooked horizontal line.
And behind Hao Shaoqi's shield soldiers and Chen Shifang's fire guns, there was the cavalry commanded by Wu Sanfu himself! Still waving the banner of Ping Xibo, the chief military officer of Liaodong, less than 2,000 iron cavalry were divided into forty or fifty forty cavalry teams. A large area of the battlefield was unfolded, all of which were ironclad cavalry, a long body of armor, and some of them were still gold armor. There was a dazzling glow in the sun, and it was terrifying just to look at them - these people were actually not very capable of fighting, but they looked particularly powerful, and all of them looked like heavenly soldiers.
Not to mention Ding Zhuang, who was forcibly pulled, even the old soldiers under Tang Tong's command were terrified when they saw it. If it weren't for the fact that Dashun had swept the world, they would have wanted to slip away.
However, the veterans still expected to be the founding heroes, but the rabble in front couldn't bear it, and they retreated back one after another. After a few steps back, he was stopped by the veterans who supervised the battle.
"Don't go back!"
"Hold on!"
"Backwards and slashing ......"
"Ah......h
But what a murderous thing! Tang Tong's veterans can't kill the Tartars, they can't kill the rogues, and now even Zhu Cihong's Ming army can't beat them. But the man who killed the forcibly recruited was not soft at all, and dozens of bloody heads were picked up by the tip of the gun to show the public in the blink of an eye.
These people in the countryside of Tianjin Wei are also pitiful. I want to break into the king, I hope to break into the king, but when the king comes, he becomes cannon fodder.
I can't run, so I can only crowd into a ball on the spot, crying and shouting by the way, I miss Emperor Chongzhen again, think about Emperor Chongzhen!
It's a pity that it is not Chongzhen who is in power in the Ming Dynasty now, but Zhu Cihong, a murderous and cunning unfilial prince.
At this moment, he was riding a war horse in high spirits, personally leading the team to follow Wu Sanfu's cavalry to supervise the battle!
In front of him, a queue of soldiers, musketeers, and cavalry was slowly approaching the chaotic enemy.
The battle to be shot in line begins!
……
"Eat him N, eat him N, eat not enough to break the king......"
Outside the Tianjin Acropolis, when the people who were ruined by the Dashun Heavenly Soldiers all missed my Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen in the Tianjin Acropolis was so angry that he was about to explode by a group of coaxing people.
I saw his two fists clenched, the whole person trembled, gritted his teeth, and repeated a sentence word by word: "Why are there always Diao people who want to harm me?" ”
If he can still speak, it means that he has not been killed! But I was really angry enough.
It turned out that the battle outside the yamen of the governor of Tianjin attracted many onlookers, all of whom were Diao people of Tianjin Wei, who were looking forward to breaking into the king. They had met the king a few days earlier, but they were suppressed. But Zhu Cihong didn't have the time to kill in the Tianjin Acropolis, so many Diao people who loyally supported Li Zicheng were still there.
At this time, I heard that King Chuang's army had entered the city and was fighting fiercely with the Zhu thief's soldiers and horses outside the governor's yamen, so I spontaneously rushed to watch.
Now the streets near the governor's yamen are crowded with people cheering for the army of King Chuang, and the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street are full of ordinary people watching the excitement, and many people even take out firecrackers and set off there.
The people who did not set off firecrackers spontaneously sang the ballad of welcoming the king!
At the same time, due to the sudden changes in the city, the people who defended the city were also in turmoil, and the Dashun army was caught by the tide and rushed to the south wall of Tianjin Weinan City in one fell swoop...... Emperor Chongzhen is really in danger!
