The New Army of the Eight Banners crossed the Ziya River, and the mighty army, baggage troops, artillery, people, and black pressed heads opened a five- or six-mile-long queue before and after, like a boundless army of marching ants, appearing on the west side of Yangliuqing Town. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The person leading this force was not Fu Heng, but Hailancha. Fu Heng's family knows his own affairs, and he can talk about it on paper, but when it comes to fighting hard, his ability is far inferior to Hailancha, who is on the battlefield of a hundred battles. After Yonghui received Fu Heng's recital, he naturally had no disobedience.

The twenty-four-year-old commander of the Protector Army, Delentai Tse, passed through the gap between the two battalions of the Eight Banners of the New Army, and galloped towards the banner of Hailancha from afar. The hurried horse's hooves knocked on the ground, puffs of dust and smoke, and Delentai's dusty face became more and more clearly reflected in front of Hailancha.

This is a rising star in the Qing army, and Delentai was born in the ordinary family of the banner people, that is, the small people in the Eight Banners, which is different from the prominent family of Fukangan, so no one in the army has ever compared Delentai with Fukangan.

Delentai was able to serve as a pioneer battalion vest soldier on the Korean battlefield, and in two years, he became a leader of the army at his current age, which was exchanged for battles and meritorious deeds. He and another Erle Dengbao, who was born in Zhuhu, Jilin, are the masters who must be the first in every battle, so two young people who are not old and have no background can be promoted all the way to the position of the protector of the third grade. Of course, the rise of the Han Army and the great crisis of Daqingguo are absolutely related.

Although Delentai and Erle Dengbao are not good generals now, and they have not even entered the New Army of the Eight Banners, they are the seeds of good generals. The two also claimed to be the two sharp knives under Hailancha, who made significant contributions in the Korean War.

"General, it's Sanli." Delentai ran to Hailancha, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he said in a hurry, and raised three fingers on the side.

A smile appeared on Hailancha's face, and the group of generals around him also showed a smile.

Isn't it puzzling? I don't know what these three miles refer to? Then I will tell you that this 'three' refers to the range of the rocket of the Fu Han Army.

Delentai led the team from the south of the canal to the opposite side of Yangliuqing Town, carefully checked the traces of the old battlefield, and based on the memories of the people from Tianjin around him, it was finally determined that the range of the 'super-caliber' heavy artillery of the Fu Han Army was three miles.

At a time when the Eight Banners New Army was about to engage the Fu Han Army in Yangliuqing Town, the importance of this information was self-evident.

Hailancha sent people to the old battlefield to investigate several times before, but they were all expelled by the Fu Han army in Yangliuqing Town, but Hai Lancha's luck was that the Fu Han army only regarded those people as spies, and did not think of anything else. This happened to the approaching Hailancha sent two hundred horses to the old battlefield, and was once again blocked by Yang Liuqing's Fu Han army, and the two sides exchanged fire for a while, and the Qing army horsemen killed and wounded a few soldiers of the Fu Han Army did not know, they were killed and wounded by the snipers and scouts of the Fu Han Army More than 30 is true, but it also made Delentai finally get an exact number.

Yongning, the capital of the second town of the Eight Banners New Army on the side of the "Sanli ......", breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is not a general-the unification of the Eight Banners New Army is a clan, and the real leader of the troops is the commander below, but Yongning also knows that Yang Liuqing was defeated by the Qing army in the first battle before. The Fu Han army came up with two kinds of very similar artillery, one was the high-powered artillery used in the previous battle, this kind of cannon directly turned the powerful trench in the defense into a burial ditch. The naval division of the Fu Han army also used this kind of cannon, and in the original Liaonan Sea War, the last large-scale naval division of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Tianjin Naval Division, was beaten by this kind of cannon, and now it is still cowering in the Yalu River.

This kind of artillery has a long range and guaranteed accuracy, and the rate of fire is described as 'fast as thunder' according to the description of the Tianjin Navy Division! The Fu Han army also used it more than once in the confrontation with the Qing army.

Another kind of artillery that is very similar to it is the kind of small artillery that hides in the small hollow array of the Fu Han Army, the artillery that can hide in the small hollow array, the head is definitely very small, and the reason why they are similar is because the shells they shoot have similar tail flames, and they are extremely powerful.

However, in terms of the extremely important firing speed ratio, the firing rate of the former, which can be called 'Thunder', suddenly becomes a slow old cow in front of the latter, and the firing rate of the latter is much faster than that of the former. Of course, the latter also has shortcomings, one is that the range is relatively short; Second, there is a lot of difference in accuracy.

The New Army of the Eight Banners is forcing Yang Liuqing to see it, if you don't make the range of these two high-powered artillery pieces, how can Hailancha's heart be put down. Don't look at Yang Liuqing's Fu Han Army, there is only a small regiment, this is the first battle between Li Ghost and the real Li Kui, who went home to practice for several years after being beaten!

The New Army of the Eight Banners and the horse team of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the only hope for Beijing.

Now a large group of horses had moved south along the canal, determined to cut off the thin transportation line of the Fu Han army, and the new army of the Eight Banners, numbering in the tens of thousands, had also entered the Tianjin battlefield.

Hailancha was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Wanqing army and horse team that went south. and either to attack the city, or to cut off the land transportation routes.

A string of 'beads' extended from Shandong by the Fu Han Army, if all the soldiers are together and open a frontal piece with tens of thousands of Qing army horses, it will be the Qing army for a long time after defeat. But they're separated now. Those cities were not so much 'military stations' along the way as strongholds on the way back. There is no reason for tens of thousands of horse teams to pinch with dim sum!

What Hailancha needs to deal with now is only these Han troops in front of him, and he also has the friendly army of the Qing Army in Tianjin! If in this case, Hailancha can't have the absolute upper hand, then the hope of the Qing Dynasty will only be slim.

When the army arrived at Yang Liuqing, it was in the afternoon, and the Qing army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, surrounded the Fu Han army in the town from three sides.

Gao Jinghui had already sent someone to communicate to Chen Ming, and he was not afraid at all. Twenty miles away was the main force of the Fu Han army. This battle was more like a test for him, seeing that the regiment under his command could not withstand the onslaught of the Qing army.

More than fifty cannons bombarded the town of Yangliuqing indiscriminately. Of course, the artillery of the Fu Han army also returned fire, but there were only a few dozen cannons in the town. Anyway, a team of 2,000 people with twelve cannons is not bad. The per capita ratio was much higher than that of the Qing army. But now they were abused like dogs by the Manchu artillery, and the Qing army made full use of the waterway of the North Canal, bringing not only a large number of cannons, but also very powerful, most of which were large-caliber heavy artillery.

The Qing army's twelve-pounder guns and general's guns did not have suitable flowering shells, but they also knew how to use arson shells. The red-hot iron balls were hit to Yangliuqing Town, and soon flames were ignited in some places. Right now, it's a dry time, and there's a sea breeze! If a small fire is not extinguished, it can cause a big disaster.

Gao Jinghui swore to Chen Ming that he would defend Yangliuqing Town, but it was easy to say it, but it was difficult to do it.

Especially when it was close to dusk, Hailancha sent two battalions of troops to attack Yangliuqing Town from the west and north, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army were also lined up in thin lines, followed by a few cannons, and then there was a small horse team of one or two hundred people, which was decent.

Gao Jinghui was very hard to have only twelve cannons in his hands, but he was very bold to always assemble eight cannons in the north, and arranged two cannons on the left and right, and he has not changed until now. For the Qing army in the west, Gao Jinghui only directly sent a battalion to fight against each other! A battalion of the Fuhan Army!

So Hailancha also shifted his position to the west, although his banner was still standing directly north of Yang Liuqing.

One battalion of the Eight Banners New Army vs one battalion of the Han Army. The former has cannons, the latter has rockets. But the former has a team of horses, the latter does not.

The artillery of the Qing army stopped when the distance was reduced to five miles, and the cavalry also stopped to protect the artillery. One by one, the shells were quickly fired by them at the Fu Han army. However, the iron ball solid shell really does not have much deterrent and lethality for linear infantry.

No matter what the New Army of the Eight Banners thinks in its heart, the morale is absolutely high on the surface. strode forward, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to a distance of 100 zhang, and only then did the two sides stop and reorganize the queue. The rocket troops behind the Fu Han army had stopped, and a team of guards formed a small hollow array, and now the Manchu artillery was vigorously attacking the hollow array. However, the hollow array is able to move, albeit slowly.

"Onward! Offensive! "The time for the final battle has come. The battalion officers on both sides all shouted these four words in unison. Whether it is a mule or a horse, a hero or a bad breed, you can tell it clearly in the next moment.

The red flag was unfurled, and the singing of the Han Army never stopped. They started from Lushan, a small place, and traveled rampantly across the north and south of the river, and the prestige of the musketeers of the Fu Han Army was known to the whole world. The soldiers of the 13th Brigade are now more concerned about their ranking in the ranks of the entire Fuhan Army!

Just as soldiers have points, the independent units of the Fu Han Army—divisions, local brigades, and artillery regiments—also have their own points. Then through a simple individual equalization, plus a small proportional adjustment, that is, the points of the respective independent units. The 14th Brigade, no, the 2nd Garrison Division, is now in the Rapid Upward Rankings - frequent battles, having surpassed the 6th, 5th, and 4th Divisions, and now their goal is to garrison the 1st Division. When they have surpassed the first garrison division, they can look up to the four main divisions!

The New Army of the Eight Banners began with a group of early prisoners of war from the Fu Han Army, and later incorporated into the Portuguese Army Rules, with a dash of British Army Foot Drill, although the latter soon left them. After completing the transformation from stealing a master to an apprentice, how big is the gap between the fake Li Kui and the real Li Kui?

Because of the huge gap in the real combat records of the two sides, the New Army of the Eight Banners did not expect that they could comprehensively defeat the Fu Han Army.

Now the most direct battle begins!

"The morale of the Qing army is good." I don't know when Chen Ming, who also came to Yang Liuqing, looked at the battlefield and muttered to himself. He looked at the battlefield without blinking for a moment, and the Qing army on the battlefield turned out to be a reddened 'morale value', which was too unexpected for him. And such a morale value from the beginning to the present is about to shoot, there has been no major drop, it is still red. The morale of the Qing army's large army was mainly white, with a layer of veil-like red. "Rare. It's really rare......"

"The Qing Dynasty has reached the point of life and death, and behind us is the city of Beijing. A place where millions of nations have thrived for centuries. ”

"If we lose, how can Chen Wei enter Beijing at this time——"

"Think about Jingzhou, think about the fate of the southern nation, are you willing to see it?"

"Watching his relatives fall in a pool of blood, watching his wife and daughter and sisters being wantonly insulted by traitors......"

"Would you like to? Are you still men? ”

"Tell me out loud!"

Chen Ming, who was standing far away in Yangliuqing Town, did not hear the encouragement of the Qing barracks officers before the battle, and the shouts of the Eight Banners New Army shouted 'unwilling', and the shouts of 'we are men' were also drowned out in the sound of artillery and spacing. Therefore, the New Army of the Eight Banners, which was in danger of destroying the country and the clan, burst out with a breath of blood and bravery, which surprised him a little.

The two sides entered the firing distance, and the Qing army fired the first shot when they were at a distance of twenty zhang. This is not the projectile shot by the original shoddy shotgun, at a distance of sixty or seventy meters, the projectile shot by the flintlock pistol is a great threat to the cuirass.

Even if many projectiles can't penetrate the cuirass due to angle problems, a heavy blow to the chest is enough to make the soldier lose the ability to continue fighting for a short time. However, the Fu Han army did not fire immediately like the Eight Banners New Army, Chen Ming had a smile on his face, even if some of the Fu Han army columns were shot and fell to the ground in the Qing army's shooting, the Fu Han army also withstood the Qing army's firepower and continued to approach the Eight Banners New Army.

The New Army of the Eight Banners quickly fired a second shot, then a third, and a fourth, and they had been adjusted to four horizontal columns, and they stepped forward alternately to complete a round of strikes. But during this period, the Fu Han army walked more than 20 steps ahead of them, and braved the rain of bullets that came more than 20 more. Then the Fuhan army began to shoot.

There is a certain gap between the two sides in terms of experience and training.

Although the Fu Han army suffered four rounds of guns and fell thirty or forty people, the queue remained neat, and the distance traveled by the troops was also the same. On the contrary, the queues of the Eight Banners New Army, which fired first, were all curved, and there was a slight collision when the front and back rows crossed, and the spacing between the front and rear lines was also different.

The distance between the two sides had been shortened to less than 40 meters, and three horizontal columns of the Fu Han army fired at the same time, a salvo of battalion fire. Blood splattered, brains jumped, and the Qing army column on the opposite side fell to the ground like wheat seedlings swept by the wind, and the painful screams quickly reached the ears of all the flag soldiers.

Chang Xin was still laughing at the stupidity of the Han Army just now, and let them play one more round in vain, but now he is dizzy. The smile on the corner of his mouth was still on his face, and the bright red blood and white brain pulp made his face blur. The heads of the soldiers next to him were all shattered! And the person who fell in front of him was hit by a projectile on the shoulder blade, and blood was pouring under the torn flesh, and there were only a few breaths left.

Four columns of Qing soldiers fell a hundred or two hundred? No one can tell, anyway, it was sad, especially in the first column, almost half of the people fell.

At a distance of thirty or forty meters, the soldiers on both sides, one in four columns and the other in three columns, launched an infantry confrontation with a very Western land battle. This kind of battle best reflects the power of the flintlock pistol, and it is also the difference between the combat power of the East and the West in this era of the original time and space.

The rescue shooting of the Eight Banners New Army caused a lot of losses to the Fu Han army, thirty or forty people fell to the ground, and it is not known how many of them will survive in the end. And a salvo from close range of the Fu Han Army, even the capital with interest made the Eight Banners New Army completely returned. The losses of the Qing army were undoubtedly much greater than those of the Fu Han army, and immediately after the next round of shooting on both sides, the New Army of the Eight Banners still took the lead at first, but soon Hailancha, who was observing from behind, cracked in his heart.

"It's slow, it's too slow...... Yongning clapped his legs and howled, the shooting speed of the Eight Banners New Army on the battlefield was much slower than that of them on the training ground.

"Bang ......"

Both sides were lined volleys, and at the end of the second round of shooting, the Eight Banners New Army not only failed to maintain its lead, but was also greatly overtaken by the Fu Han Army.

In the third round, when the first column of their scattered musketeers of the Eight Banners New Army had not yet raised their muskets, the Fu Han Army, which had always maintained the rhythm of 'forwarding, standing, and shooting', fired the first volley of its third round at a distance of less than 30 meters, and the few remaining bannermen in the first column of the Qing army on the opposite side fell half of them again, and then the entire new military camp queue was completely chaotic.

"Kill......"

Shouts of killing rang out in the array of the Fu Han army. (To be continued.) )
