Li Guoying had just arrived at Calcium County (today's Mianxian County) and was about to deploy troops to defend with all his might, when suddenly news came from the front that the Loyal and Righteous Army had occupied Ningqiang Prefecture (today's Ningqiang County) the day before yesterday, and the general Hui Yingzhao led the remnants to flee to Tiesuo Pass, and is now holding on to wait for reinforcements. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

General Hui Yingzhao led 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Ningqiang Prefecture, originally thought that it might be able to resist for a few days, but it was impossible to hold for a day, which was really unexpected by everyone.

It turned out that when Liu Weiming led the 6th Division to arrive at Daning Qiangzhou City, he first launched 2 Franc machine guns and 10 tiger squat guns to shell the green battalion soldiers and horses on the city wall.

Hui Yingzhao, the general of the green battalion, saw a bullet hit the city tower, and the defenders of the city suffered many casualties, so he immediately pushed all the Franco machine guns and tiger squat cannons in the city to the city wall and was preparing to counterattack.

But this just fell into the trap of the loyal army, the initial round was just a fire reconnaissance, the purpose was to let the Tartars expose all the firepower points, after a feint to see that the green battalion defense of the city firepower was exposed, Liu Weiming ordered a counterattack.

Last night, the camouflaged Franc machine guns that were secretly pushed out of the city and several jungles outside Nanshan were pushed out one after another, and more than 20 Fran machine guns were aimed at the soldiers of the Qing army's green battalion on the city wall and fired at the same time.

This is the most basic tactic of the artillery team of the Loyal Army, and during the fire reconnaissance, everyone used binoculars to observe the opponent's artillery one by one, and took this opportunity to adjust the muzzle of the cannon and fire the artillery.

The Franc cannon belongs to the rear loading gun, but also belongs to the sub-mother gun, the firing speed is very fast, the gunner puts a sub-gun in, aimed at the target position and ignites, the cannon sound bursts, one after another non-stop.

In a moment, there were explosions, and all the sides of the south gate of Tartar fell into a sea of fire, and what was even more surprising was that a cannonball fell into the gunpowder pile, and the flames flashed into the sky, and the explosion sound was clearly audible for miles.

Hui Ying Zhao secretly shouted that it was not good, if it was still bombarded by the loyal army, this city would be collapsed sooner or later, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs on the same day, and the Ming army concentrated artillery to collapse the city wall.

If that is the case, Ningqiang Prefecture will definitely be defeated.

Thinking of this, Hui Ying was heartbroken, and led his troops out of the city, hoping to kill these nasty artillerymen, and then retreat to the defense.

Seeing that Hui Yingzhao led his troops to kill, Yang Wei led the 14th Regiment that had just been formed to meet him, and under the cover of hundreds of flintlock guns, everyone came over with a two-foot wolf hand.

The birds lined up in a row, under the command of the squadron leader and squad leader, and aimed at the green camp in the crowd, and the gunfire rang out, as gripping as the sound of firecrackers, and after the gunshots, a large number of people were killed and wounded.

In addition, it was the group of infantry, they killed in groups of three or five, and raised the two-zhang long wolf whisk from a distance and stabbed it again and again, these wolf whirlmen were all strong men with a length of seven feet, dancing with thorns all over the wolf whi, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they were hung by the wolf whi, so they were often either dead or injured.

Seeing the amazing momentum of this wolf, some people dodged again and again, and the group of loyal soldiers were quite treacherous, taking advantage of everyone's evasion to shout and rush over, and then groups of three or five surrounded the lone soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers in front were killed and wounded, the soldiers in the back looked at the wolf wreaks dripping blood, and some were even more frightened and retreated, at this time, the loyal and righteous army rushed up, and drove the 2,000 green battalion soldiers and horses under the command of Hui Yingzhao back to Ningqiang City in less than a stick of incense.

Everyone fled back to the city in despair, and took this opportunity to attack the city, and Hui Yingzhao was forced to send troops and horses to defend the city.

And this just gave some loyal people in the city a chance, before the Northern Expedition some squires in the city sent envoys to hope for submission, now seeing that the loyal army is so strong, some of them set off fireworks before dark, and some are even close to the city wall.

Liu Weiming and Yang Wei took this opportunity to attack the city, the morale of the green camp was greatly discharged, and everyone fled, Hui Yingzhao had no choice but to lead his troops to flee north, and only set up camp at the iron lock pass 30 miles away. (At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army concentrated all the artillery of soldiers and horses to bombard the four cities of Yongping and drove the barbarian Qing out of the pass)

After entering the city of Ningqiang Prefecture, Yang Xuan asked people to judge the traitors who surrendered to the Tartars, and on the other hand, he ordered Liu Weiming to lead his troops to kill the iron lock pass thirty miles north of the city, while he stayed in Ningqiang Prefecture to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

After several years of exploration, the supply of food and grass for the marching and fighting loyal and righteous troops has become a system of its own.

Medium and long distances are transported to the nearest beachhead by naval transport ships, loaded and unloaded, and then transported to the destination by the regimental baggage battalions.

A regiment has a baggage battalion with a total of 120 tricycles, so that it can also ensure ten days of military supplies.

During the march, each battalion could ensure seven days of military supplies by means of tricycles, bicycles, wheelbarrows, and the soldiers themselves carrying food (mainly fried noodles, dough, pot helmets and other dry foods, which were introduced earlier), while the others mainly relied on the baggage battalions in the rear.

It stands to reason that such a logistics system can completely ensure the supply of grain and grass to the front line, but although there is a direct flow from the Jialing River to Ningqiang County, the river is narrow, and the road is blocked and not suitable for boating

Considering that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked many times due to lack of grain and grass, Yang Xuan stayed in Ningqiang Prefecture and worked with Ningqiang Prefecture, the governor of Ningqiang Prefecture, to levy local people to dredge the river, renovate post roads, and ensure that water and land transportation was cheap.

After Hui Ying's edict was defeated and retreated to the Iron Lock Pass, he sent people to Li Guoying of Calcium County to report urgency, and on the other hand, he sent people to strengthen the pass in a vain attempt to hold on.

Liu Weiming and Yang Wei led their soldiers and horses to rush to the bottom of the Tiesuo Pass early the next morning, faced with the danger, bombarded with the Francophone machine, and then led the troops to rush and kill, so they fought for two days with little effect.

Hearing that the attack on the front line was frustrated, Yang Xuan, who was in the rear, couldn't sit still, and led a cadre of staff to the Iron Lock Pass that day.

In order to prevent the invasion of the northern ethnic minorities, Wu Jie, a famous general of the four (Sichuan) in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, pressed a large number of iron cables in the canyon, and sent soldiers and horses to guard the mountain beams on both sides to block the attack of the Golden Vultures.

The mountain beams on both sides are very steep, although the loyal and righteous army can rely on firearms to attack the mountain, but the other side is in danger and defends, and the attack for three or four days is still in vain.

Putting down the binoculars and pointing to the two mountain beams that are high in the west and low in the east, Yang Xuan said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, that day, General Wu Jie's relied on this iron lock pass to withstand the repeated attacks of tens of thousands of troops of the Golden Vulture Technique, I didn't expect that such a pass would become a vicious tiger blocking our way today, let's talk about what to do?" ”

Yang Wei, the capital of the 14th regiment, asked for battle and said: "My lord, what the traitors rely on is only these two mountain beams, the east mountain beam is short and the west mountain beam is high, we have concentrated our forces to attack the east mountain beam in the past two days, but the green battalion is heavily fortified, and it is heavily fortified, and after our army attacks the mountainside, it leads the troops to kill it from time to time, so we fight for several days, and both sides have suffered great casualties." ”

Yang Xuan laughed and said: "What General Yang said is right, but as the saying goes, with righteousness, victory with wonder, if there is no absolute strength to defeat the other party, you must find other ways to achieve the effect of surprising victory." ”

Liu Weiming, the general of the 6th town (division), nodded and said: "My lord, of course, we have waited until this truth, in the past two days, in addition to the frontal attack, I have also sent people around to inquire to see if there is any small road to detour to the mountain behind the opponent, and then achieve a surprising victory."

In the past two days, although the woodcutter found one or two paths, the Tartars had already taken precautions, so they startled the snakes, and many of the soldiers and horses sent were damaged. ”
