Chapter 124: Why Do You Defend the City?
Li Qingyuan looked at him and nodded: "Hard work!" I'm here, don't worry, everything is with me! ”
The division commander was a little incredulous: "General! How did you get here? How can you come? You can't come here, it's dangerous here! ”
Li Qingyuan smiled: "What? Can your generals hide in a ravine and watch their men be surrounded and beaten? ”
The division commander shook his head: "No, it's just a general, there are us here, and you are needed more in other places!" Please go back and take command..."
Li Qingyuan shook his head and sighed: "I also want to wave my hand in the back and say a few words casually and the enemy will retreat, but I am not satisfied at all with what you have beaten!" Seeing that more than half of you have been killed or injured in just ten days, I feel distressed! So I have to come, I'm afraid that this family will be ruined by you! ”
The division commander didn't know how to answer, and asked after a long time: "Then why did you bring so, so few soldiers..."
Li Qingyuan smiled and asked, "Less?" Not a lot! This time I came to teach you how to defend the city, and your mind is still stuck in the way of fighting with big swords and spears, although you have a fire gun in your hand, you really don't have a fire gun in your heart..."
Li Qingyuan came to the city and looked at the demolished messy house and asked, "Have all these losses been registered?" After the war, we have to pay for others, and we have to build new ones for others! Is it a burning stick in your hand? I also use rolling stone and sasswood..."
The division commander patted his chest: "Don't worry, general, they are all registered, and they will not be used in vain." ”
Halfway through the march of the troops, suddenly the horn sounded outside the city, and the division commander was shocked: "The general asked everyone to enter the city quickly, and the Qing army plans to follow and pursue!" ”
Li Qingyuan said lightly: "Fart!" The troops outside the city were ordered to line up against the city wall, and the troops inside the city went up to the city wall, and I wanted to see how many people in the Qing army were enough to die! ”
The division commander was stunned, what kind of play is this? Hurriedly accompanied Li Qingyuan to the city, the Qing army ran fast with a big shield and approached, the soldiers under the city methodically fast = lined up, the division commander asked: "General, you see that they have this kind of big shield made of door panels in their hands, it is difficult to break..."
Li Qingyuan looked at him: "What about the fast and slow guns in your hands?" Slow playing? ”
The division commander shook his head: "They also have a kind of shield car, even if it is slow, it will take fifty steps to have an effect, and the bird gun can hit us at this distance." ”
Li Qingyuan looked at the shield hand and sure enough, there was a shield cart pushed up, probably to quickly intercept Li Qingyuan's troops entering the city, so the first batch did not hide behind the shield cart, Li Qingyuan laughed: "Since the enemy sent people's heads, then let's harvest a wave first!" ”
The heavy shield in his hand is definitely not as thick as the heavy shield, Li Qingyuan ordered, and all units immediately changed to slow play, and waited until the enemy reached one hundred and fifty paces The first platoon tried to fire once, and the ultra-permeability rate was less than half.
When the Qing army had advanced to 120 paces, and the penetration rate had reached 80 percent in the first round of test firing, Li Qingyuan immediately ordered the troops to start firing in a row of guns, and the Qing army advanced to 100 paces despite casualties...... Eighty steps... At eighty paces, it was difficult to advance, and a large number of Qing troops fell, blocking the road behind the shield carts.
The shield car had to make a detour to attack, and the division commander hurriedly said: "The general takes advantage of the Qing army's change of formation to let the brothers in, let's block it on the city wall first." ”
Li Qingyuan shook his head: "No, order the troops to prepare for pursuit, the shield car has its own artillery to deal with it, and order the artillery to bombard the shield car with solid shells!" The musketeers change to quick bullets and prepare to shoot the clear soldiers behind the shield. ”
The taxi that did not enter the city immediately pulled open the covered wheat straw, revealing the tiger squat cannon inside, one car was loaded with two, ten cars were loaded with twenty guns, the artillery quickly lifted the cannon down and loaded the ammunition and then found their target and hit it with one shot.
Although the tiger squat cannon did not shoot far, it was still very easy to break the shield car within three or five hundred meters, and it was precisely because his shells were not fast, so the shield car hit by him often either broke a large piece of the shield surface, or directly fell apart, and the Qing army hiding behind was directly exposed to the musket, and a large number of them were knocked down.
The Qing army saw that the shield car array that it had been relying on was broken, and immediately fell into a dilemma, and the Qing army's hesitation was just conducive to artillery aiming, and the casualties were faster for a while.
After the Qing army commander was destroyed by two-thirds of the shield car, he finally had no choice but to retreat, intending to regroup, Li Qingyuan saw the Qing army Mingjin, and immediately rejoiced, shouting: "All departments pursue!" ”
The troops outside the city immediately attacked and advanced, and the troops who entered the city also fought out of the city and advanced towards the Qing army, the Qing army fought for more than ten days and did not encounter a counterattack, and was stunned for a while, and the commander blew the horn of attack, but a few of the Qing soldiers who were retreating would listen to him, and occasionally two Qing soldiers who looked back at the big wave and fled from their side were smart and immediately followed, and the stupid ones died...
The Qing soldiers had just experienced Mingjin, and at this moment they beat the drum again, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, crowded in a group, and were shot by the other party in line, and the commander of the Qing army had to Mingjin again when he saw this situation.
This time, the Qing soldiers were like wild horses on the loose, fleeing for their lives, scrambling one by one, and the retreat immediately turned into a rout, and finally turned into a large-scale collapse.
Li Qingyuan's 1,000 soldiers chased all the way to the gate of the Qing army camp and blocked the Qing army camp for a long time before retreating into the city.
That night, the Qing army counted more than 4,000 casualties and missing, which was basically similar to the casualties of the 10-day siege.
Li Qingyuan stood on the tower of the city and watched the troops enter the city victoriously, and the division commander looked at the squatting and running that they were pulling and asked enviously: "General, when does our division also pretend to run like this?" ”
Li Qingyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, when this battle is over, your division will go back to rest and expand, and equip you with an artillery battalion. ”
The division commander scratched his head embarrassedly: "General, we have not fought for ten days and have not had a high record in the first battle you just came to, I am ashamed......"
Li Qingyuan waved his hand to signal him not to speak, looked at him and asked, "What about your Deputy Division Commander Qin?" ”
The division commander immediately looked around with a bitter face, and when he saw that he couldn't see anyone, he shook his head and said, "Hey, I might be ashamed to dare not see you!" ”
Li Li Qingyuan was stunned: "What are you ashamed of?" Summons the order for Deputy Division Commander Qin to come and see me! Tell me why..."
The division commander simply told what Deputy Division Commander Qin had done, Li Qingyuan squinted after hearing this, and then the herald came up and said: "General, the whole city has asked if Deputy Division Commander Qin is not in the city, and someone saw him leaving the city while the Qing army was retreating..."
Li Qingyuan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled: "It's okay, let's go and rest." ”
Li Qingyuan waited for everyone to disperse and then called the herald: "Tell Hou Zheng, find it for me!" Find out where this bastard went! ”
