Chapter 624: Three Shocks in One Night (continued)

Azig was indeed defeated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info

At first, Dodor couldn't believe that the eldest brother, Prince Ying, would be defeated so badly and so quickly. It wasn't until dawn, when news began to emerge that waves of forward sentinels were bringing back the situation ahead, that he forced himself to believe in this cruel reality.

"Isn't it time to retreat to Liaodong?" The thought in Dรณrd's mind tempted him like a devil's spell. Returning to Liaodong, relying on the money, grain, and silk looted in various parts of Gyeonggi and Xuanda in the past year, he can live a good life for a few years. Observe the changes in the situation outside the gate.

However, reason told him that he could not have such thoughts, and if he retreated outside the border in the case of defeat, he was afraid that the first person to turn back would be Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. He would lead a large army to slaughter in the Qing army's camp, and then, carrying his Duoduo head and Azig's head to meet his godmother, uncle, and grandfather. He wept bitterly and pleaded with them for sin.

"The child was confused for a while, went astray, and today he is lost, and he redeems himself by killing the thief." Wait, Duoduo could imagine what Wu Sangui and those generals would say.

"General Chuanben's military order to go down! All battalions, banners, and towns immediately built fortifications and prepared to receive Prince Ying's subordinates to the north! โ€

Duoduo was also said to be in danger, and when an order was handed down, the troops began to build fortifications, dig trenches, and prepare to use deep ditches and high fortifications to meet the eldest brother Azig north. Even if you want to withdraw to the Beijing Division, you must first fight the battle in front of you and repel Li Huayu's pursuing soldiers and horses!

As a result, the prefect of Shunde Prefecture had another drudgery. For the construction of fortifications for the army, it provided people and wood, stones, straw bags, bamboo baskets, etc.

"No wood? This king doesn't care! You will tear down all the houses in Shunde Mansion, and you will find out the wood for the fortifications to this king! โ€

As a result, the territory of Shunde Prefecture has become a noisy and noisy construction site. Countless houses were demolished, first the temples and ancestral halls, and then the houses, if it were not for the desire to win the hearts of the world's scholars and take care of the emotions of Shanxi merchants, I am afraid that the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Guandi would not be spared.

Of course, there were also mansions that survived among them, and that was because the owners of these mansions stuffed money into the Qing generals. The yellow and clear gold and silver of the white flowers were delivered in front of him, and whether it was the Eight Banners Manchuria or the newly annexed army, they all immediately changed their faces. The whip was much more off, and went straight to the houses of the poor ghosts.

This is in the same vein. In view of the isolation of the outlying strongholds of Beicang and Ash Heap, Lin Weili was easily destroyed by the People's Liberation Army in view of the isolation of the outlying strongholds of Beicang and Ash Heap, and he was worried about the regiment of the Yixingbu stronghold. He also felt that the strength of the main position was insufficient, and that both sides of the North Station and Xiyingmen would be attacked, and that he could no longer take care of the Yixingbu stronghold, so he withdrew the reinforced regiment sent by the 151st Division as a reserve force for the army. He was afraid that the original position would be used by the PLA as a basis for attacking the northern station, so that the regiment would be destroyed when it withdrew. Originally, it was a fortification, but the head of the regiment actually set fire to the village, causing serious disasters to thousands of people. However, in this process, not all the houses in Yixingbu were burned down, and more than a dozen households were preserved. Without exception, the owners of these houses stuffed money into the national army.

At noon, there began to be a succession of soldiers and horses coming from the south avenue in fright, seeing that the walls here were strict and the army was in order, it gave these defeated soldiers a reassurance. Seeing Duoduo's Pingnan General Shuai Qi and the Weaving Golden Dragon Silk on the head of Shunde City, those generals and leading officers couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Prince Yu's army has arrived, so we don't have to worry!" โ€

However, these defeated soldiers could not enter the city, so they could only bypass the city of Shunde and camp in the north of the city according to Duoduo's general orders, receive military rations and forage, reorganize soldiers and horses, and treat the wounded and sick.

When the sun was setting, Azig's handsome banner appeared outside Shunde.

"Fifteenth brother! I can't imagine that my brother will be able to see you! โ€

Although Azig didn't know what it meant to hold hands and look at each other with tears in his eyes, he was able to struggle for his life from the dense artillery fire and frantic attack of the Nanyue army, and he was also teary-eyed when he saw Duoduo. He swore that if he saw Abatai, he would never sneer at this seventh brother again. It was really not easy for this seventh brother to escape alive!

"Big brother, it's been hard along the way!" Duoduo greeted Azig while looking for the generals behind Azig, "Why didn't you see Cao Zhenyan's minion?" Could it be? Dodor's heart sank sharply. Cao Zhenyan is the confidant who he and his second brother Dolgon pulled together, and it is also an example they set for the servants of Baoye, could it be said that Cao Zhenyan died in the chaos? Dodor was a little afraid to think about it.

"Cao Zhenyan is a good minion! If it weren't for him with those spear-carrying soldiers desperately blocking the attack in the back, behind the palace, I am afraid that those mad dogs of the Nanyue Army would have rushed to this Shunde Mansion! โ€

Drinking a few cups of hot ** made Azig's spirit much calmer. He didn't care about the lot of milk on his beard, so he just took Duoduo's hand, intending to tell him the military situation ahead in one go, but he didn't know where to start.

However, since Duoduo had just asked about Cao Zhenyan, Azig found an answer from Cao Zhenyan.

"Cao Zhenyan, a minion, is really hardworking! It's not in vain that you and Lao Fourteen have worked hard to promote and cultivate him! If it hadn't been for him patrolling the camp and checking the night the night before, I am afraid that I don't know how many barbarians of the Nanyue Army have quietly crept in through the cracks in the front line! Fortunately, he found out! A row of guns hit the past, and these Nanban rats hugged their heads! โ€

"After daybreak, the Nanban attacked in a big way. These dog-day Nanbans, braving the rain of our guns and arrows, rushed over without fear of life and death, and they didn't know what medicine they had taken yet! Our front-line departments collapsed at the touch of a button, and tens of thousands of people also retreated all the way. If it weren't for Cao Zhenyan's gang, four large formations were set up on the flat ground in a row, and the tiger spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were guarding on both wings. In this way, even if it is defeated and retreated, it will not suffer much loss, and the establishment will not be lost. This gave me time to reorganize my troops and slowly retreat! โ€

"Other slave generals only hated their parents for having two legs in the face of the Southern Barbarian's artillery fire and hail-like earth-shattering thunder, but this slave was the only one who took the men and horses of his headquarters to stop Li Huayu's pursuers. It's really worthy of you and the old fourteen! This minion is really fighting for your face! โ€

"When I return to the capital, this king will definitely protect in front of the regent and fight for him for the title of Baylor, no, with his merits, no prince can stop him!"

Azig was a little emotional, and his speech was a little incoherent.

After listening to the eldest brother Azig talk about the evolution of the battle situation ahead in bits and pieces for a long time, Duoduo worked hard to stitch together the scattered pieces of information one by one, trying to piece out a complete outline.

He poured a full bowl of hot milk tea into the large copper bowl in front of Azig, "Big brother, I have also seen the fortifications on the front line, and they are all built according to the style and standards of the original Tashan. Deep ditches and high bases, pillboxes, deer barracks, gun emplacements, gun holes, and traffic trenches in the cantonment holes are all complete. In the past, our army relied on these trenches and fortifications to repeatedly compete with the Nanban, and there were victories and defeats for each other. How did it be attacked by the Nanban overnight? โ€

Duoduo's questioning made Azig speechless for a while, and he was not very clear how the former enemy was broken through by the Nanyue army. It is only known that shortly after the engagement, the front line collapsed. The defeated soldiers and horses of the brigade swarmed like a tide, turning the trenches and bunkers into garbage in the crests and valleys, and the defeated soldiers turned the fortified positions into garbage, and the garrisons on the original positions also washed away the formation, and became the same defeated soldiers and horses, and the new defeated soldiers joined, making the crowd more and more large, and the crowd swept the garbage and poured into the next fortification.

He cast his gaze on the generals behind him, but the frightened generals had wandering eyes, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Azig's gaze. Azig's gaze swept back and forth several times, but no one stood up to speak, so angry that the British prince was a little angry. Finally, someone stood up and spoke boldly.

"General Yuping Nan, General Dingnan was not in front of the enemy at that time, and there are some who are not very clear about the things on the front line. The minion has some opinions, and he prays to his master here. โ€

Azig looked around, although this person was a slave master, but he was not a member of the army, but a deputy general of the newly attached army, named Qin Zimian. If he dared to mess up his identity at another time, Azig would be beheaded with a military stick at the light and beheaded at the worst. Today, however, I don't care so much.

"Qin Zimian, you dog minion, this king remembers that you are in the second position, you should be relatively clear. You might as well tell General Pingnan about what you have seen and heard. โ€

Qin Zimian shook his spirits, cleared his throat, and began to tell Duoduo and Azig and the dozens of generals present above the deputy general and above and above Jialazhangjing to tell and comment on the battle situation of the day.

"Actually, there is nothing else unusual about the tactics of those Southern Barbarians. It was still with artillery fire to open the way, so that those Dongfan soldiers and barbarians were the vanguard to pounce on our Qing soldiers and horses. However, what is different from the past is that this artillery bombardment is not only fierce, accurate and long-lasting, but more importantly, almost all the shells have fallen at the junction of the two general positions of the first line of defense of our Qing Dynasty. โ€

After the artillery fire was prepared, it was the Dongfan soldiers who made their grand debut. Different from the previous tactics, they no longer fought with the Qing soldiers for trenches one by one, but continued to pounce on the depth of the Qing army's position. After tearing open the openings, they kept attacking the position in depth, not giving the Qing army the opportunity and time to put in reserves to fight them hand-to-hand in the trenches.

"The drill gap is deep, and the cow knife pierces the heart?" Duoduo listened to Qin Zimian's description of the tactics of the former enemy's Shangnan Yue Army, and couldn't help but send a chill down his back. If he is facing the artillery fire of the Nanyue Army, he can use deep ditches and high bases to deal with it, and in the face of the Nanyue Army's firearms bayonets, he can use curved trenches and elites who are good at hand-to-hand combat to deal with it, then, the Nanyue Army will no longer compete with him for trench by trench and position, but after concentrating on artillery fire to break through a little, he will desperately kill the elite soldiers who are good at hand-to-hand combat and firearms as the blade, and desperately kill him inside the military formation, how should he respond?

Concentrating artillery fire on a point and using the elite as the vanguard to drill straight into the gap is actually not uncommon in our history. In the Central Plains War in 1930, the Central Army headed by Chiang Kai-shek, facing the deep ditches and high bases of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, and the soldiers who were equipped with grenades and flower mechanisms, and who were good at hand-to-hand combat with large blades, in addition to bribing the generals of the Northwest Army with high-ranking officials and money, adopted a little artillery fire on the battlefield, and no longer engaged in positional warfare and hand-to-hand combat with the Northwest Army. They adopted the tactic of drilling deep into the gap, and according to Principal Chiang's words, the troops desperately drilled into it like an awl. Soon, Chen Cheng, Shangguan Yunxiang and others met in Zhengzhou, and Feng Yuxiang announced that he had gone to study in the wilderness.

A similar tactic was used by Monk Xu in Jinan during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1948 on Wang Yaowu, a good student of President Jiang.

In the face of the strong defense system of Jinan City, Monk Xu gave up the normal traditional tactics of advancing layer by layer, first occupying the outer city, and then attacking the inner city, but adopted the tactics of bull knives, concentrating troops and firepower, and raising things at the same time, several sharp knives rushed through the bloody road, and fiercely slashed at the heart of the defenders. Xu Shiyou's request to the besieging troops is: We must not put difficulties in place, we must not make excuses, we must solve our own problems in front of each other, and we must not stop attacking at any time!

First seize Maoling Mountain and Yanchi Mountain on the periphery of Jinan, and then seize the commercial port area, and push the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army directly under the city wall of Jinan.

The old city of Jinan is divided into two cities, the inner city is set in the outer city, and both the inner city and the outer city have tall and strong city walls. Wang Yaowu believed that the attack on the commercial port had already caused heavy casualties to the communist army, and that it would take at least three to four days of preparation and recovery before launching another attack.

The siege troops of the East China Field Army were indeed extremely fatigued, and there was no time to replenish the attrition, the wounded had not yet been carried down, and the ammunition and other siege equipment were also seriously consumed. According to the general law of warfare, although it is not necessary to rest for many days, two days are still needed. According to the design of Wang Yaowu and Du Yuming, it was to rely on the strong city wall fortifications of Jinan to attract the East China Field Army under the fortifications of the fortified city, and after giving a large number of casualties, the Kuomintang troops on the periphery and the troops in Jinan City should merge with the outside to come to a center to blossom, and completely annihilate or severely damage the East China Field Army under the city of Jinan.

(Huh?) Flowering in the center? How is this term so familiar? It seems that Zhang Shuai, who was on Meng Lianggu, died under these four words. ๏ผ‰

However, what Wang Yaowu, the founder of the 74th Army, did not expect, he met a monk Xu who did not follow the routine.

Xu Shiyou ordered: Keep attacking! Attack now! Never give Wang Yaowu time to breathe!

In the face of Xu Shiyou's bull knife tactics, the two city walls of Jinan City are made of large stones and large square bricks, with a wall height of 8 meters and a thickness of 10 meters, with the city gate tower as the fire support point, the top of the city wall is equipped with a mother fort and a child fort, and the middle of the city wall is equipped with a three-layer fire firing point, and the defense system with barbed wire inside and outside the city wall has become a paper tiger.

As a result of the cattle knife tactics, two place names of "Hero Mountain" and "Liberation Pavilion" were added to Jinan City, and two heroic teams of "Jinan First Regiment" and "Jinan Second Regiment" were added to the sequence of the People's Liberation Army.

Such tactics, which are claimed to be elite descendants with the spirit of Whampoa, can't stand it and can't bear it. It was used by the Nanyue Army for three or four hundred years in advance on the head of the Qing army with a strong feudal tribal army, and it is no wonder that Azig is undefeated!

Qin Zimian didn't care about the change in the expression on Duoduo's face, and only told the story of what happened to the former enemy.

"I really don't know where the barbarians came from so much strength, the Eastern Fan soldiers broke through a position, and the Southern Barbarian soldiers and the Ming army behind rushed over to receive it, and then expanded to the two wings, squeezing out our soldiers, and driving them down on the Great Plains like rabbits and livestock."

"In the past, those Ming troops shy back when they were fighting. This time, it was like taking aphrodisiac @ medicine and strong pills, rushing up like crazy, not caring about the casualties of people and horses and whether it was fatigue or not! โ€

Qin Zimian, as a former general of the Ming Army who surrendered to the Qing Army, naturally didn't know why his former colleagues worked so hard. The reason is also very simple.

"My lord has transferred 10,000 Tuntian soldiers from Denglai! As a complement to this battle! Which unit fights well, don't be afraid of big casualties! Adults are all for you to replenish! There is another one, which unit fights well, the original number can be removed, and the amount of this town and which town is not wanted! It was reorganized into a garrison brigade on the spot, and all the salaries and equipment of the soldiers were all according to the soldiers and horses of the adults' headquarters! โ€

Fan Xiaozeng raised the official authority of the chief of staff in front of the guerrilla attacks of the chief of staff of the general lieutenant generals of all towns and battalions of the Ming army, and proudly explained Li Huayu's arrangements to the generals of these miscellaneous troops, and the eyes of these generals immediately flashed green like wolves.

This kind of look, Fan Xiaozeng saw it from the eyes of those generals of the Guanning Army in Liaodong when he was in Tashan. This kind of look, Duoduo also surrendered to the Qing army, and learned that as long as he worked hard to fight for the Qing Emperor, he could receive a full salary and could be incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Ming Army.

What's more, not only the soldiers and salaries, but also the headquarters of the adults, the armor, staff, equipment, clothing, food and grass are naturally not a problem, even the promotion and wealth are very simple!

This is why these generals of the Ming army, who belonged to the command of Li Huayu, worked so hard.

Duoduo listened to Qin Zimian talk about the former enemy's various things about the Nanyue army, and he didn't say anything for a long time. However, Qin Zimian was quite discerning: "General, the servant has finished speaking, what do you think you have to order?" โ€

"Well, that's good! Which is your slave to? โ€

Only then did Duoduo remember to ask Qin Zimian about his origins, and planned to reward him. There was someone next to him with a little jealousy and hatred: "Master, Lord Qin is a Han person, not our banner person." "It was a Mele Zhangjing of the Eight Banners of Mongolia who spoke.

"Not in the flag? Then the king will accept you into the king's Manchuria with a white flag. Your soldiers and horses are also under the banner of this king! Duoduo didn't blink his eyes, and he rewarded this Qin Zimian with a great grace.

In the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of his colleagues, Qin Zimian changed from a descendant raised by his mother to a slave under the banner of General Pingnan. Suddenly it felt like being in the clouds.

You must know that until the Daoguang period, the boundary between Qi and Han was still very strict. The various privileges of the banner people made many Han officials salivate with envy. It is precisely because of these privileges that the nobles of the Eight Banners pay more attention to the boundary between the banner people and the Han people. In the Qing Dynasty, the word "slave" was not only not a derogatory term, but on the contrary, it was a symbol of identity and political status. If a Han official indiscriminately uses the title of "slave", the consequences are very serious. During the Qianlong period, the lightest play was reprimanded by order, and if you don't do it, you will lose your official position.

Qin Zimian is lucky today, because of the defeat on the front line, Duoduo couldn't take into account the mistake of his title, so he let him pick up a big bargain.

However, there is no pie that falls from the sky in vain.

"Big brother, you've worked hard these days. However, Cao Zhenyan's life and death are unknown at the moment, and we can't help him. Otherwise, it will chill the people below. In my opinion, it is better to let Qin Zimian, a minion, bring someone up to meet him and let him take it down. โ€

Duoduo's fluttering words made Qin Zimian almost not pull his pants! Damn! Lao Tzu finally escaped, and you let Lao Tzu go to the front to die again? Go pick up your minion Cao Zhenyan?

I have the heart to go, but I don't have the guts. was hesitating, and suddenly someone hurriedly broke in: "Prince Yu's master, Prince Ying's master!" Cao Jueluo is back! โ€

This news suddenly made the atmosphere in the lobby extremely tense and weird. Cao Zhenyan, as the queen of the Qing army, the rear guard unit, he is back, what does this mean? The most likely scenario is that his troops were defeated by the Nanyue army, and he could only flee back alone!

Duoduo was so excited by the news that Venus was buzzing in his ears, and he felt the bulge on his head without touching it. The devilish temptation in my mind kept popping up again, "Go back to Jingshi!" Let's go back to Liaodong! The Central Plains is not the place we should be! But he couldn't care about it so much, he waved his hand calmly, "Please Cao Jueluo come in!" โ€

Cao Zhenyan's return was not a defeat and the annihilation of his own army. The complexion on his face was even better than that of Azig, and there was no decadence in the sense of defeat and fleeing back, on the contrary, he was a little full of interest and spirit. However, he brought with him a piece of news that was even more shocking than the defeat.

"Master, for some reason, Nanban stopped pursuing our army, not only did the whole line stop the pursuit, but there seemed to be signs of retreat!" Cao Zhenyan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and happily told Duoduo about the latest battle situation.
