Chapter 513: Perhaps, I made a wrong decision
White on the top and red on the bottom, the Kim family will always be a hanbok that makes Chen Ming look unhappy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The Kim family, who had steadily entered the hall, had come to pay his respects to Chen Ming, and the edict of Chen Han to canonize the new king of Joseon was issued in the first month, and in June, Li Hao was about to hold an official enthronement ceremony, and Kim was going back to Korea.
Today's salutation is a ritualistic show, and even the Q&A between the two sides is agreed in advance. Watching the dignified-looking Jin walk out of the lobby step by step, Chen Ming showed a smile full of evil fun behind him. I don't know if this Jin family can still maintain her dignity when she sees that the enthronement ceremony has become a funeral ceremony.
In the past two years, no less than 300,000 slaves were exported from Korea to China, and what was even more terrible was the strangulation of the remnants of the Manchu and Lee Koreans, and the population losses caused by starvation, oppression, and the captivity of the Manchus themselves. Before the Manchu invasion of Korea, North Korea had a population of tens of millions, and Chen Ming now doesn't know if there are still five million people on the Korean Peninsula!
This is a piece of fat that has already reached Chen Ming's bowl, how can he throw it out again?
"Tell North Korea to speed up and kill Li Yu before June."
Lying on the big bed in the apse of Qingyan in Jiuzhou, Chen Ming thought of the miserable situation of North Korea now, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
He didn't know that he was lying on the bed now, with his legs crossed, and his right leg on his knee was still shaking vigorously, with a bad smile on his face, like a proud old fox who had successfully stolen an old hen, but he was angry with Wu Sanniang who was eating and vomiting because of pregnancy.
Wu Sanniang was diagnosed as pregnant when she was not out of February, and she now lives in the apse of Qingyan in Jiuzhou. The children are almost three months old and have not yet become pregnant, but they seem to be thinner than before they were pregnant. This child really tossed Wu Sanniang a lot, fortunately, the vomiting during pregnancy was about to pass.
Wu Sanniang was very uncomfortable looking at Chen Ming's smugness now, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and pulled Chen Ming's sleeve. Chen Ming thought she had something to say, so he leaned over and looked at her with a smile. But I saw her raise her eyebrows, open her rosy little mouth, and bite him on the cheek with one bite......
Note that it's not a kiss, it's a bite.
Chen Ming was really in pain, sat up with a "hiss" and half sat up, tilted his head back slightly, and looked at Wu Sanniang in surprise. What madness is this?
Wu Sanniang glanced at Chen Ming with anger, and then showed a full face of pride, the pear vortex on her cheeks was revealed, and she turned her back and fell asleep. Wu Sanniang has been with Chen Ming for a long time, and knows that Chen Ming doesn't care much about 'authority' in male and female affairs. Sure enough, as soon as she closed her eyes, she felt Chen Ming's body coming from behind her, and then she felt Chen Ming's breathing on her neck.
Between the entanglement of lips and teeth, Wu Sanniang's face was full of redness, and her eyes that were as clear as autumn water were also dyed with a trace of misty. made Chen Ming look at his appetite, but he couldn't eat it. Wu Sanniang felt Xiao Chen Ming's hardness and smiled gloatingly.
It was raining lightly outside, and the thin rain hit the eaves of the window, and hit the flowers and trees in front of the window, bringing a little coolness.
Chen Ming didn't dare to pester Wu Sanniang more, otherwise the fire would not go down, and he would suffer in the end. You can't just run to Feng Wenwen because of this, right? Or pull the servant girl on the side to shoot, that's too beastly. Pulled the brocade quilt and covered the two of them together, hugged Wu Sanniang's soft waist, and patted her palms on her one by one.
Wu Sanniang gradually felt that her eyelids were heavy, so she simply leaned her head on his chest, and fell asleep after a while.
Chen Ming also fell asleep unconsciously, until he was woken up by the maidservant, looked at the floor clock, it was four o'clock, got out of bed gently, put on his clothes and walked to the outer hall, and saw Liu Wu standing there with a happy face. "Your Highness, good news from the northwest."
"How many did the Russians kill?" Chen Ming didn't care about how many Qing troops were in the annihilation battle, and he was now more concerned about Lao Maozi in the northwest.
"No less than 500 Russian cavalrymen were killed. More than 100 captured. ”
Chen Ming applauded happily, since the Fu Han Army attacked Jiangnan, it is estimated that this is the first time that Chen Ming has applauded this result of less than 1,000 people. "Tell Chen Qi and Gao Pingshan to make persistent efforts. Before beating the Qing army out of Shaanxi, the Russians were brutally beaten again. ”
Liu Wu was not surprised by Chen Ming's excitement at all, he felt that the person he served should be a natural emperor, and for the Manchu war, in addition to the excitement at the beginning, he was a little accustomed to it. But when it comes to foreign countries, whether it is Spain and the Netherlands in the South Seas, or Vietnam and Siam bordering on them, or North Korea, Japan, and now the Russians, they are all very different in their interest and energy.
On one side is the lazy tiger king, and on the other side is the tiger descending the mountain.
The sun sets and the night begins to rule the land.
There was an eerie atmosphere in the city, the outlines of the bunkers that could be seen in the night were almost gone, and all that remained was a desolation, a scorched black, and a ruined wall.
This is the current Fushi, the capital of the Red Pagoda Mansion. A Qing army defense that has been repeatedly reinforced and repaired in the past few months. When Yongying realized that Xi'an could not stay for a long time, he had to look north, because it was Xi'an City to communicate with Gansu, and the Weishui line could no longer go, and Baoji fell into the hands of the Fu Han army, so he could only lead his troops to cross Longshan and enter Gansu from Pizhou, north of Fengxiang Mansion.
We can't stay in the Weishui Basin, but then we have to give up the whole Guanzhong? Yongying was not reconciled. Without Xi'an, there is also northern Shaanxi.
As a result, to the north of Luochuan, many cities became positions for the Qing army to delay and delay the offensive footsteps of the Han army. And Yongying and they also found the difference between the Fu Han army, with the elongation of the supply line, the fire dragon bullets that made the Qing army frightened were rapidly reduced, and the artillery of the offensive troops of the Fu Han army was shrinking.
Xi'an garrison of the Eight Banners of the left deputy commander Haiyin personally stationed in Yan'an, although Haiyin's official position is not high, but Haiyin is Yongying's hands of a number of cadres, the real official Gao Jue Chong people may not be able to pick out a few more capable than him. But Fu Shi was still completely shrouded in frustration at the moment. In the daytime attack of the Fu Han army, the artillery of the Fu Han army only played a covering role, and it was a commando team and a demolition team, turning the bunkers and fortifications around Fushi into the graves of the Qing army.
In Gao Pingshan's eyes, for a fortification like Yan'an, there is no need for precious rockets. On the battlefield in Shaanxi, they were no more inconvenient to transport than in the Central Plains or in Beijing and Tianjin, and the productivity of the military factories that had just been listed in Mancheng, Xi'an, was far from enough to consume the troops. They have to save money.
But even so, the Qing army's positions outside the city have become a huge Shura field. The seemingly impregnable fort bunker was as vulnerable as a pile of sand. The Qing army had already noticed the weakening of the attack power of the Fu Han army, except for the use of rockets and artillery shells by the Fu Han army in the first battle of Luochuan, and the Russians who were officially involved in the battle for the first time, they did not use this weapon at other times. But in just a few days, the Fu Han army came up with another method. Haiyin didn't expect the tactics of the Fu Han army to be so powerful, this blow was so ruthless and accurate, that the defenders of the skin were scattered.
And what about Potemkin? At this moment, his heart was full of shock! Astound!
Potemkin couldn't find any other adjectives to describe his mood at the moment other than shock.
He didn't expect such a terrifying weapon to appear on the battlefield in China at all, whooshing~~, the whistling sound of the devil, and then the overwhelming explosion completely covered the charging Russian cavalry troops.
This is simply the nemesis of the cluster troops. Whether it is the traditional Cossack cavalry, the well-trained regular cavalry, or the large square array of infantry, all of them are vulnerable to this furious weapon.
The Russian troops under Potemkin suffered huge losses, and one of the Cossack battalions at the front of the charge was almost completely annihilated. Because in addition to the successive explosions, the Chinese also have cavalry with sharp counterattack power.
The Battle of Luochuan was the first large-scale participation of Russian cavalry units in the Qing army's operations, and as a result, they got a painful result. While Potemkin and the Russian officers were rejoicing in the short range of that weapon, the Qing army told them that the Chinese army on the opposite side had a similar unit with a range of more than two versts, and it was much more accurate. It is only a cut behind the previous one in terms of rate of fire, but it is also far superior to all artillery.
If it were not for the next combat effectiveness, the Chinese on the opposite side would never have come up with such terrible weapons, and Potemkin would have lost the desire to fight for the victory or defeat of this war.
But although the Chinese did not come up with that terrible weapon again, their large number of artillery also made the Russian army disgraced in the subsequent battle. To be fair, the fortifications built by the Tatars were quite strong, but the Chinese on the opposite side used tunnels and blasting methods to turn the Tatar fortress into a tomb where they were buried and turned into a king-size coffin.
"Hold on, you have to hold on." In the flower hall, Haiyin scolded in front of everyone. Today, this nightmarish result has caused all the officers of the Qing army to lose their souls.
That's what Aetna thinks. He'd rather it was a nightmare, a nightmare that scared the hell out of him, rather than a harsh reality. This reality is too cruel for him to accept.
The fortifications outside Yan'an will be finished in one day, so how many days can Yan'an withstand the offensive of the Fu Han army? Really defeated, the cavalry troops patted their butts and ran away, what about their infantry?
From the darkness of the sky, the offensive of the Fu Han army fell behind, and Antai's spirit was a little trance. He's not a banner man, he's just surnamed An, a standard Han Chinese.
At midnight, the battlefield had fallen silent for a day, and there was hardly any sound to be heard except for a few small gunshots in the distance, and even the wounded and sick on both sides suppressed their groans and waited quietly in the darkness for dawn.
As a battalion officer of the Yan'an battalion subordinate to Yansui Town, Shaanxi, Antai did not sleep and rest, but appeared on the wall of his defense. He was also very tired from the day's battles and blows, but considering the Fu Han army's penchant for night raids, he had to cheer up and be vigilant.
Holding a double-barreled handcuff in his hand, Antai walked in the dark at the head of the city in the dark, no one dared to light a torch, and the sharpshooters of the Fu Han army were not vegetarians. And tonight there is almost no moonlight in the night sky. Under this condition of not being able to see his fingers, he could only grope his way forward, which made his forward progress very slow.
The walls of the city were also ploughed beyond recognition by artillery fire, and there were craters everywhere, and the walls of the battlements were all gone. Antai didn't dare to get too far aside.
After walking around the city twice, he looked at the pocket watch by the light of the fire fold, which was the treasure he touched from the dead lieutenant general during the battle of Luochuan. It was already past three o'clock, and Antai really couldn't hold it anymore, so he flashed into the soldier's shop at the foot of the city wall. The top of this shop is supported by wood, which adds a bit of defense.
At this time, there were already several officers of the Yan'an battalion lying inside, one by one, wrapped in thick quilts, and shouting everywhere. Antai lay on her bedding and soon fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but an explosion outside woke him up. Looking at the sky, it is not bright at all.
Without the officer's order, many Qing soldiers had already woken up from their sleep, and some soldiers were so nervous that they ran out without even taking their swords and guns. At the same time, the Qing soldiers on duty at night also immediately fired a few fireworks 'flares' into the sky, and the bright flares illuminated the front of the entire position, and the soldiers of the night attack on the Han Army who had just been discovered by the Qing soldiers on duty at night were naturally all exposed to the sight of the Qing soldiers.
"Fuck it!"
On the position of the Fu Han army, Pan Mancang scolded fiercely. He was transferred from the first division to the instructor a few years ago, and the troops of the Fu Han Army outside Yan'an City were not all from the second division, and there were also people who taught the instructor.
The sound of gunfire rang out on the battlefield, and the shouts of the soldiers of the Fu Han Army were faintly heard in the back.
"Rush—"
"Forward, forward!"
Although the sneak attack was discovered, the attack that should be fought still had to be fought, and the Qing army sent a part of the men and horses to restore a few positions under the city before dark, and they were all to be dealt with in the night. As soon as they were discovered, hundreds of soldiers dressed in the Fu Han Army immediately dispersed in formation, carrying rifles with bayonets, scattered into sporadic squads, and rushed towards the Qing army's position like a large net.
"Hit! Beat! ”
Fuqing hurriedly picked up his handcuffs and shouted, and several officers on the position outside the city also shouted hoarsely with Fuqing, and the red eyes of the Qing army looked particularly energetic under the light of the white flares.
The artillery of the Fu Han army also fired. Like a harvester of life, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Qing army on the battlefield, the hot shrapnel passed through the flesh and blood, violently demonstrating the high efficiency of the modern killing machine in the industrial age, in front of this killing machine, any flesh and blood is fragile.
However, the Qing army guarding outside the city can be said to be the elite unit of the Qing army in the northwest, and when the Fu Han army rushed seventy or eighty meters in front of them, they fired a row of guns neatly. The shelling of the Fuhan army has stopped.
"Smack! Syllable! ……”
The musket was far less lethal than the flowering bullets, but the scorching bullets were no less deadly.
Amid the gunfire, explosions rang out from time to time. It was a grenade thrown by the soldiers on both sides, and in the flames, the shrunnel was equally deadly, and the blood spilled the ground under the feet of the two soldiers.
Potemkin was awakened by the sound of an explosion. Listening to the fierce gunfire and the high-pitched shouts of killing, Potemkin's face was cloudy for a while. He originally thought that the Chinese were as backward as the Tatars in the steppe, at least in terms of weapons, but they were outnumbered and had much more powerful organizational power than the Tatar tribes, which became a stumbling block for Russia in the East.
When entering Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, seeing those Mongol cavalrymen with scimitars and soft bows and arrows, just as hundreds of years ago, Potemkin was even more convinced of his own judgment. In this way, although the army in his hands was small, more than half of the men were equipped with muskets, not to mention the 4,000 Russian troops and 1,000 Cossacks, even 3,000 Turghut cavalry and 2,000 Tatar cavalry were also equipped with muskets. In his perception, such strength will become a powerful iron rod to pry the direction of China's civil war. Even if the Mongols told him more than once that China was powerful and that the Qing army was equipped with firearms, Potemkin considered it a boast and a sign of self-esteem protection.
Until he officially encountered the Qing army in Gansu.
Potemkin found that the firearms of the Qing army were really not low, but these muskets were all old-fashioned arquebuses. Potemkin's inner cognition was unwavering, and then in Shaanxi he saw the main force of the Qing army in the northwest. He met with the Lian Army, the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners New Army, and then in the Battle of Luochuan, all his ambitions were about to be destroyed.
Tonight there was a lot of gunfire outside the city, and he didn't know if he would stay in the city at this time tomorrow.
"Perhaps, I made a wrong decision." This would have given the Russian Empire a formidable enemy. The lights were blown out, and in the darkness Posenkin lowered his head, and he had to admit that 10,000 Russian cavalry were not worth mentioning on the Chinese battlefield at all, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese was really strong.
