Outside Cangzhou, the artillery fire of the Fu Han army was still tight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the Qing troops on the position had fled back to the city in disarray, and Wen Song, the battalion officer of the Eight Banners New Army, was carried down by several soldiers. This twenty-five-year-old young officer is the great-grandson of Shunzhi's second son, Fuquan, who is Kangxi's second brother. In the Kangxi Dynasty, the power was very heavy, but it was a pity that his son was mixed with the Eight Masters Party, and Wen Song's grandfather was Baotai, the prince of Jige and Shuoyu. Until now, he still has the title of a second-class auxiliary general on his head, and he is already the highest knight in Baotai's branch.

As a Manchu clan, he was good at riding and archery, and followed Fu Ling'an to Yunnan, Wen Song was soon selected into the Eight Banners New Army after returning to Beijing from Yunnan, and then it didn't take long to achieve the position of battalion officer. But at this point, he can be regarded as coming to the end, and the regiment above the battalion officer must have real combat exploits, or have a big background, such as the Fukangan of the Fucha clan. Wen Song can't touch any of them!

However, in the Eight Banners New Army, Wen Song was a member of the 'reformists', advocating Western-style tactics, having a tough style, and resolutely implementing orders. But now, this 'Gancheng' has a mutilated face and even limbs. He was swept away by the artillery fire of the Fu Han army, his left leg was completely missing from his knee, and he was wrapped in gauze all over his body, and he didn't know if he could live!

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Can you still hear it? Ming Yi called softly in Wen Song's ear. He was anxious and scared in his heart. Almost, just a little bit. If it weren't for Wen Song's insistence on going to the front line today and leaving him in the city, he might be the one who ended up like this now, Murcha Mingyi.

Wen Song was dying, and there was still a breath of air. The sharp pain kept him awake. "Gather the new army, withdraw, withdraw!"

After saying these six words, Wen Song couldn't support it anymore. The tide of darkness annihilated him!

In half a day, no, to be precise, it only took one hour and more than two quarters of an hour for the Fu Han army to completely clear the positions of the Qing army outside Cangzhou City. At 2:20 p.m., the Fu Han army had already finished lunch and was making preparations for the battle.

And the morale of the Qing army in Cangzhou City was also on the verge of collapse. Today, Chen Ming is sure to pull out Cangzhou in one fell swoop.

He did not have a powerful heavy artillery group in his hands, but he could use rockets instead of heavy artillery to bombard the place where the morale of the Qing army gathered.

At present, Cangzhou City seems to be the strong point where the Qing army gathers troops, but it is also their weakest weak point.

This is like a watermelon, which penetrates the outer layer of watermelon skin, and inside is the melon pulp every day.

At this moment, in the forward position, horse-drawn carriages are coming and going. Boxes of rockets were unloaded, and twenty launchers were covering the entire front of the forward position - not rocket artillery.

Three o'clock. When the commanding officer saw that the hand of the pocket watch in his hand pointed to the time specified for the battle, "Bang! A gunshot rang out, and each of the leaders of the various firing groups shouted the same order, "Fire!" ”

In the next moment, a fire dragon dragged its long red-orange tail, like a meteor shower, and flew towards the direction of Cangzhou City.

Roaring explosions. The splattered blood quickly turned into a dried black trail in the heat.

There is a big hole in the black hole on the top of the lobby of the Cangzhou Prefecture Office, if there is a living person looking out from the inside, you can see that on the sky outside at this moment, the gorgeous flames are like meteor fire showers, falling quickly towards the inside and outside of Cangzhou. Each flame represents death and destruction, although the rockets have a gorgeous beauty when they fly in the air.

The state hall was hit by one, and it was thrown straight down from the top, and the violent explosion tore everything in the lobby to pieces. There are no dignitaries of the Qing army here for a long time, only two small officials, who were directly blown up to the bones. Moreover, the shock wave also 'poked' a large hole in the wall on the east side of the lobby, and the broken bricks turned into countless murderous weapons, directly beating a Qing soldier guarding the passage on the east side of the lobby into a sieve.

At this moment, in Cangzhou City, in addition to the unique and sharp whooshing sound of rockets, there is only the loud noise and impact when they land.

When a refueled rocket landed, it turned into a sea of fire within more than ten meters around, and the huge shock wave and high temperature also had terrifying lethality. Give a lot of mental pressure to the Qing soldiers in Cangzhou City!

Everywhere are the remains of Qing soldiers who have been shocked to death, those Qing soldiers are intact in appearance, only quietly huddled in the trenches, or after the fortifications, only the mouth and nose are bloodied, looking like they are asleep.

The violent shaking made the remaining Qing soldiers feel a sense of riding a boat. Rockets ploughed Cangzhou like a plough.

The firepower points and fortifications made of earth and wood were reduced to rubble in the explosion. Shrapnel flames and flying rubble tore everyone apart.

A devastating explosion, as if the end of the world had come. It dealt a great blow to the Qing army, and also brought catastrophic damage to the people in Cangzhou City. But Chen Ming couldn't care about this, when the Fu Han army attacked Cangzhou, he let people let the wind go, and many people hid at home and didn't escape, what could Chen Ming do? In these years, there is more than one Cangzhou city that has been destroyed by war?

Not to mention the far, such as Xuzhou City and Jining City, aren't these all good examples?

If the people are stubborn, then they will have to reap the consequences and pay for the decisions they make.

Perrier was like an old duck stuck in his neck, quacking and speechless. He couldn't see the dragon bullets, but the Spaniards, who had close relations with France, had suffered from rockets, and Perrier, who knew little about it, thought that this powerful explosive bomb was a cannon shell newly invented by the Fu Han army. But he also knew very well that there were absolutely no super-large caliber cannons in this unit under Chen Ming, and their largest was only an eight-pound cannon.

Now the Qing army in Cangzhou was bombarded by the powerful 'artillery' of the Fu Han army, and they were taken to hell in waves. "What is this? What kind of weapon is this, exactly? Perrier's eyes sparkled with extreme brilliance.

"A weapon that can change war!" Endless praise came from Perrier's heart, and he watched as the rockets fell towards Cangzhou at a constant speed.

Half an hour of mountain-shaking shelling was just as rapid from beginning to end, and then came to an abrupt end.

"Kill, ......" The Fu Han army launched an attack on the battlefield.

They rushed to Cangzhou City without any hindrance, and their noses were full of a strong disgusting smell, which was a mixture of gunsmoke and flesh and blood, which made people vomit.

……

It took less than a day for the Fu Han army to take Cangzhou and completely solve the place in front of them. After hearing the news, Shu Hede led his troops to retreat to Jiaohe overnight. And Chen Ming immediately led his troops to seize Qingxian.

It is very close to Jinghai from Qingxian County, and it is also very close to Tianjin, and there are only more than 100 miles left to go.

The dark camp still did not get the exact news of Qianlong's death, but they sent the news that the Qing army's Eight Banners New Army had left Beijing and assembled in Tongzhou. At the same time, Yinglian, the governor of Zhili, also urgently transferred more than 10,000 troops from Baoding and rushed towards Cangzhou.

Chen Ming didn't know if Ah Gui in the Central Plains Battlefield had also received an order, but he felt that even if Ah Gui wanted to retreat at this time, he wouldn't be able to retreat for a while. The Fu Han army on the front line in Henan is waiting for the day, you let the Qing army retreat?

Nanjing is going all out to mobilize reserve troops, as well as a large number of ships, and the logistics department must rush to send reinforcements and materials to the mouth of the Daqing River as soon as possible before the Bohai Sea freezes over a large area. At the same time, the sailors were also gathering forces, and they were going to launch a fierce attack on the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin.

If they can really capture Dagukou, they don't mind taking the lead first. Although this hope is very slim, and even if they succeed, before the ice comes, if the large army led by Chen Ming cannot reach Dagukou, they will have to pack up and retreat.

But if you don't take advantage of the good time at the moment and bite the Qing army hard, the sailor troops will definitely not forgive themselves. Such a great opportunity, if you miss it, you really don't have it anymore.

The reaction in Beijing was very problematic, and Qianlong has not made a public appearance until now. As for the response of the Qing army, it is not surprising.

Hold on to Tianjin and cut off the land transportation line of the Fu Han army.

The sea in winter will make the other arm of the Fu Han army, the sailor, useless.

In this way, after fighting in Tianjin a few times, the Fu Han army itself will take the initiative to retreat south.

"Your Majesty, now that the weather and cold have arrived, Chen Zhibei's offense will not last long. It's not yet time for a decisive battle! "The Manchus also had a Mongolian horse team in Zhangjiakou, which was supposed to be transferred to Beijing after the winter. Yonghui had already ordered it to arrive quickly.

"Can't we take advantage of Chen Ming's lone army to go north and annihilate it all in one fell swoop?"

Compared with repelling Chen Ming, taking the opportunity to take down Chen Ming is Yonghui's hope. Chen Ming's failure will have a greater impact on Chen Han than Qianlong's death in the Manchu Dynasty. Maybe it's not impossible for Chen Han to collapse like this. Yonghui, as a new emperor who has just ascended to the throne, wants to use a big victory, and even Chen Ming's head as a stepping stone for his ascension to the throne.

"What the emperor said is not unreasonable. If all forces are mobilized inside and outside the capital, there is indeed a certain certainty that Chen Wei will be completely annihilated in Beijing and Tianjin. But after this battle, the combat power in the hands of the imperial court will also be seventy-seven-eighty-eight. Wait for Chen Yi to make a comeback in the coming year......" Fu Heng didn't say anything about what he said, and he didn't need to say it. The meaning is very clear!

For the battle that Yonghui thought in his heart would not only completely annihilate the Han army, but also kill Chen Ming, Fu Heng had no hope at all. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Looking at the several confrontations between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, Geldan ran three times, Luobzang Danjin ran to Dzungaria for 30 years, and when Qianlong destroyed Dzungaria, Luobzang Danjin didn't want to run away, so he was caught. Although the Fu Han army was infantry, it was not without a horse.

In the confrontation between the armies of tens of thousands of people on both sides, even if the main general of one side is defeated, as long as there are loyal guards around him, it is easy to escape by taking advantage of the chaos.

And Chen Ming led the team to the north to gather a total of three infantry brigades and a cavalry regiment, not counting the logistics troops, there are only less than 20,000 soldiers. And the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Fu Han Army are mostly as elite as the 20,000 people in front of them. Having lost 20,000 people, how could they not come back?

No one else knew about this conversation. Outsiders only know that Fu Heng's status not only did not fall with Qianlong's death, but Yonghui is now more dependent on Fu Heng. This is not too unexpected for outsiders, after all, Empress Xiaoxianchun has no son left, and Fu Heng's civil and military talents are not to be said, and the influence is not to be said, simply in terms of 'loyalty', Yonghui, as the heir set by Qianlong, is still the eldest of Qianlong's surviving sons, and he is the most worthy of Fu Heng's loyalty.

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in a stormy moment, the Manchu Empire standing on the edge of the cliff, there is still a cliff behind it, in order not to fall to pieces, their internal unity and stability is the greatest interest. Yonghui's position is still very stable, but he does not have majesty and prestige, and some ministers may not follow what he says.

Just like that Shuhd!

Hailancha led 3,000 cavalry soldiers from the Northeast Eight Banners to Tongzhou overnight, and the team stayed in place, and he was recruited into the Old Summer Palace by Yonghui's fast horse.

In the Forbidden City, Yonghui met the dusty Hailancha in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The latter's eyes were red, and his face was sad. Qianlong is his great nobleman, starting from Qianlong's 20th year of conquest of Dzungaria, in just a dozen years, Hailancha, who was born in an ordinary banner family, has walked among the top generals in the world. In the Northern Jiangsu War, Hailancha was defeated miserably, but Qianlong still gave him a chance. Although Hailancha also lived up to Qianlong's expectations, he swept away North Korea, and was re-promoted to the Red Banner Mongolian Commander, General Jianwei, and Minister of the Interior of the Guard. But for Hailancha, he doesn't think that the honor he has obtained is his own credit and deserves it. But from the bones, from the body and mind, I am grateful to Qianlong!

Early in the morning, under the leadership of Fu Heng, the military aircraft department handed over the sign to the whole class, and Yonghui summoned him in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace. Special purpose Hailancha to accompany the class to the audience.

Hailancha is not familiar with Yonghui, when he was still in Beijing as a 'little transparent', Yonghui had not yet emerged. By the time Yonghui came up, Hailancha was already busy making a move on North Korea, and he had no chance to interact with the future prince. But when I saw Yonghui today, to be honest, Hailancha was quite disappointed with him. This Yonghui is not like a hero!

Now that the country is in trouble and the people's hearts are distracted, an emperor who can turn things around with force is needed. But what about Yonghui? His words, his actions, in the eyes of Hailancha, are that of a "harmonious" to "timid" ruler of moderation.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Yonghui actually looked at Fu Heng many times before or after speaking, like a little beast that had not left his mother, how could he lead the Qing Dynasty to defeat the strong enemy in the south? And what made Hailancha secretly worried was that the new emperor seemed to be too new to Fu Heng. The king is 'weak' and the minister is 'strong'!

Hailancha would not think about usurping the throne. The situation of the Manchu court and its power structure determined that Fu Heng's usurpation of the throne was impossible. But this kind of trust is enough for Fu Heng to mess with the government. Hailancha, who came out of the Forbidden City, could only pray in his heart that Fu Heng would 'know the proportions'.

……

Soon, the Fu Han army captured Jinghai, while Shu Hede waved his troops to attack Wuding Mansion in Shandong. More than 10,000 people from Yinglian, the governor of Zhili, also arrived in Cangzhou.

Jinghai is on the edge of Tianjin, and in Chen Ming's previous life, it was a municipal district of Tianjin, 80 miles from the city of Tianjin, and 250 miles from Beijing.

In the original time and space, the Northern Expedition team of the Taiping Army also captured Jinghai, and the vanguard once arrived at Yang Liuqing in the west of Tianjin! But in the end, it fell short!

Knowing this history very clearly, Chen Naruto also had a small sigh on his mental side when he was in Jinghai, and then he received the news that Cangzhou and Wugong were attacked by the Qing army. The Qing army can also be regarded as playing a game to encircle Wei and save Zhao!

The Fu Han army can continue to attack Tianjin, but Chen Ming, whose logistics line is stuck, really has the strength to capture Tianjin and join up with the naval division?

"Report ......" Liu Wu's voice sounded outside. (To be continued.) )
