Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Counterattack of Tuhai

Zheng Chenggong's main force is under Shanhaiguan.

After all, from Liaodong to Beijing, the best road to take is Shanhaiguan.

But Zheng Chenggong never put all his hopes on attacking Shanhaiguan head-on, and at this moment Zhou Quanbin had already set off for Tianjin.

If not, the Xia Dynasty established the principle of Luoyang priority on top of the logistics distribution. After Zheng Chenggong conquered Liaodong, the supply of logistics materials was not fast.

Zheng Chenggong had to raise a lot of materials from Korea and Japan, otherwise relying on the little supplies sent from Nanjing, I am afraid that this war would not be able to be fought.

Even the king of Joseon was very active in supporting the battlefield, and personally brought 30,000 Korean troops to cooperate with Zheng Chenggong to fight. Japan did not send regular troops.

However, the restrictions on the purchase of goods from Nagasaki have also been secretly relaxed for the ronin from all over the country to follow Zheng Chenggong to fight.

In order to support the Luoyang battlefield, the Qing court almost drained the northern troops.

Therefore, Zhou Quanbin's attack on Tianjin Wei was simply lackluster. Almost as soon as Zhou Quanbin's army moved, he bombarded a few cannons around Tianjin Wei, and Tianjin Wei erected a flag of lowering.

Tianjin Wei fell, and Beijing shook.

Beijing immediately ordered Hong Chengchou to return to help, and also ordered Tuhai to immediately abandon Shanhaiguan.

After receiving the order, Tu Hai carefully looked at the Shanhaiguan City, his face showed a hideous color, and said: "Come on, take all the oil and gunpowder." ”

That night, Tuhai retreated with his headquarters.

When the news reached Zheng Chenggong's army, all the troops surrendered to the army and were overjoyed, and in order to compete for the right to enter the Shanhaiguan, there was almost infighting. It's just that the first army to enter the Shanhaiguan Pass, but they don't know that they have already stepped into the ghost gate with one foot.

"Boom." With a loud bang, the entire Shanhaiguan City Tower, as if it was thrown high by an invisible hand, then fell apart and smashed down, and some fragments even reached a mile away.

As for the soldiers who have just entered the city, there is no need to say what will happen to them.

Countless flames burst into flames, almost turning the night red.

It's red.

"What a picture." Zheng Chenggong said.

This Shanhaiguan is in such a situation, if you want to pass, you have to clean it up, probably until tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow. With this time, Tuhai was naturally able to retreat to Beijing City safely.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong didn't know, he expected Tuhai wrong.

At this time, all the middle-level officers in the general were gathered together.

The figure is above the elevation of the dagger, and a handful is nailed to the location of Tianjin Wei on a map. said: "I won't say anything about the imperial court, just say that we have eight banners." ”

"Since entering the customs, we have formed a blood feud with the Han people. We don't share the sky at all, and in this situation, even if we want to surrender, they won't accept it. ”

"Think about it, your family, they're all in the city of Beijing

Once the Southern Dynasties capture Beijing, what will happen to them, have you ever thought about it? ”

"So, we are not here to protect the country, but to protect the family."

"For my wife and children to survive. Who dares to follow me to fight hard? ”

The generals below glanced left and right, and said in unison: "I am willing to die for the general." ”

These are all soldiers of the Eight Banners.

It seems that the battlefield also played a role in purification.

Today, most of the Qing troops near the Beijing Division are Eight Banners, and even these Eight Banners soldiers, including the clothed minions, are less than 100,000 people.

These people are almost near Beijing, so the Eight Banners are strong, including the Han Army Banner.

And 10,000 of them are in the hands of Tuhai.

Tuhai naturally has to work hard for the Qing Dynasty.

He said: "Under the current situation, the Southern Dynasty has already underestimated the enemy, they would never have thought that I evacuated Shanhaiguan and did not go to Beijing, this time I rushed to Tianjin Wei, people do not get off the horse, the horse does not unsaddle, tomorrow this time, I will be under the Tianjin Acropolis." ”

"Wow." The following got up and agreed.

Immediately, Tuhai led the troops to disappear into the night.

Shanhaiguan is hundreds of miles away from Tianjin.

And Tianjin Wei was not in the route of Shanhaiguan's withdrawal to Beijing. Zhou Quanbin can't say that he is defenseless, but as Tuhai said, they never thought of it. The Qing army would suddenly move south.

It's fast.

When Tuhai came to the north of Tianjin Wei, Zhou Quanbin was still in Tianjin Wei and didn't notice it at all.

Tu Hai ordered the people below to rest first, and he took three or five horsemen to approach the Tianjin Acropolis at night.

In any case, the Tianjin Acropolis is also a city, and the gates are closed in the night, and there is a lantern torch above the city, which emits a faint light in the night.

It seems to be like the eyes of this giant beast.

It's just that the lights can't go far this time. Looking at it from a distance, it was just a halo of light, which could not illuminate all the walls at all. Even under the city, there are not enough lights, and many things are shrouded in darkness.

The darkness gives Tuhai enough protective color.

Tu Hai said secretly: "Is it hidden outside the city gate, waiting for them to open the city gate in the morning, and then kill them in one go?" ”

In Tuhai's view, this plan has a lot of risks.

"My lord, there's something new." I don't take it all night.

Tuhai followed him over to take a look, but saw a camp in the middle of the Haihe River.

A large number of boats are almost jammed, and there are quite a few houses around the pier, which have not just been built, and there is a village here in the first place.

It's just that there is no high wall outside this small village, it seems that there is only a temporary wall built by the Xia army.

However, this walled wall is far from being compared with the Tianjin Acropolis.

Tuhai immediately identified the target of the attack.

About three watch days.

big

The cavalry, brought by Tuhai, was silent, and approached the camp little by little.

On the wall of the summer camp, there were many people patrolling, but none of them expected that the Qing army would suddenly attack. All the Qing troops dismounted, and the longbow shot out almost instantly.

A series of screams suddenly sounded.

"Kill." Tu Hai rushed to the front with people.

He was surrounded by soldiers in heavy armor and armed with long knives and axes. They rushed to the wall, but after a few efforts, they smashed a gap out.

Everyone retreated together, and suddenly a large area of the walled wall was pushed, and countless Qing soldiers divided their ways and rushed into the camp.

The soldiers of the Xia army did not react at all, only some of them had time to react, and many of the soldiers died in their sleep.

This is the logistics base of the Xia army, except for a battalion of non-commissioned soldiers guarding, most of the rest are the sailors and people of the Zheng family, this chaos, it is impossible to organize effective resistance.

Tu Hai rushed forward, but in a moment, he defeated the Xia army.

"Look, my lord, this is gunpowder, food, and weapons." One of the soldiers stepped forward and opened several tents.

Tu Hai looked at it and said, "Pass the order, don't set fire, and find out all the gunpowder." ”

Tuhai's order was quite timely, but even so, many Qing troops ignited gunpowder and were blown to pieces by the gunpowder they ignited. Of course, there were also actions of the Xia army when they were desperate and died with the Qing army.

But thankfully, Xia Jun seems to have stored the gunpowder separately in order to set it on fire.

Even after several explosions, Tuhai still found a lot of gunpowder.

He ordered all this gunpowder to be stuffed into the ship.

When Tuhai attacked the camp, except for a few ships outside, there was time to escape, and the more crowded most of the ships were, the more they collided with each other, like crabs on a plate, pulling each other's legs.

So most of the ships did not escape.

As for these sailors, they are definitely not the opponents of Tuhai's subordinates in battle.

The sound of puff and puff kept coming to mind, and it was estimated that a certain sailor had come up with the idea of swimming across the river to save his life, and these sailors saw the way to live, so they naturally dived into the water.

Tuhai is also up to them. He knew that his time was limited, and he couldn't kill them all. And for the modern Eight Banners Army, it is more important to save oneself than to kill the enemy.

As soon as Tuhai was ready, he gave the order to detonate the gunpowder on the ship.

Suddenly, one after another, the ships exploded, most of the ships were smashed to the bottom, and there was no one to rescue them, and they sank one after another.

However, the water is shallow, and many of the boats are sitting on the bottom.

Tuhai was a little disappointed, after all, the ship seemed to be salvage-ready, but it was good to do this.

Then all the contents of the warehouse were burned, and the flames rose into the sky, higher than the gunpowder in Shanhaiguan.
