When the text of the Northern Expedition reached Henan, the Fu Han Army's attack on Luoyang had been fought for many days. At the same time www.biquge.info the second and fifth divisions of the Qing army in Anhui had completely eaten up at the same time, and they also crossed the Yellow River and advanced to Zezhou and Zhangde in northern Henan, as well as the southernmost Daimyofu in Hebei.

The garrison of Shandong was divided into two, all the way to cooperate with the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Division to attack in the direction of Baoding, and now the main forces of Wenfu, Yinglian and Shu Hede's armies have converged to Beijing and Baoding, and the total number of Qing troops left in the southern area of Hebei is only 10,000. On the other hand, the Shandong garrison joined the Fu Han army in Cangzhou and went straight to the north, obviously to open up the land communication line from Shandong to Tianjin.

And the Fu Han Army in Tianjin at the moment, the two-month 'repair period' made them alive one by one.

At the end of last year, after learning the news of Chen Ming's departure from Tianjin, the Qing army did not muster up the courage to launch a fierce attack on Tianjin, but in vain. Then the morale of the Qing army was drained again. From the lunar month to the first lunar month, the Qing army's offensive against Tianjin has always been a small fight, low-intensity confrontation and confrontation, so that the Fu Han army enjoyed a two-month 'holiday' life.

At the end of the first month, with the melting of the Bohai Sea ice floe, the first batch of small-scale naval warships sailed into Caofeidian, bringing a large number of military supplies here and sending four battalions of reinforcements. In February, the large area of ice floes in the central part of the Bohai Sea will soon melt, and the fleet of sailors will no longer need to take a long detour between Caofeidian and Shandong, and the sea transportation will be more convenient.

By the time Chen Ming arrived with his troops, Caofeidian and the Dabo area on the shore had turned into a huge naval and army camp.

"Your Highness. It's a place where people from all over the world come together. Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Shandong, Lingnan, Jiangxi. In addition to the Guards Brigade, the Guards Brigade, the Third Division, the Cavalry Brigade, and the Artillery Regiments, the number of troops has reached 32,000. Each part is one division of the Shandong Army and one division of the second division, one division of the Jiangsu Army, one division of the Fujian Army, and one division of the Guangdong Army......"

The number of troops gathered here was less than half of what had been planned, and the reserves of munitions were less than a tenth of what had been planned. And the enemies he faced, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Beijing Banner and the Eight Banners New Army, the Manchurian Mongolian cavalry, a small number of green battalions and a part of the training army in Zhili, the total number of 200,000 people is unknown, and 150,000 people are absolutely excessive. The Manchus had gathered all the forces they could.

In the area from Lutai Town to Qilihai between Tianjin and Dabo, the Manchu Qing Dynasty arranged no less than 30,000 infantry cavalry troops, and then there were Qing soldiers in Beitang and Dagukou, and there were also 100,000 troops led by A Gui between Tianjin City and Tongzhou.

Except for the soldiers in the northwest, southwest and outside the pass, these troops are all the soldiers that the Manchu Qing can pull up now, and even Baoding only has a few people left to garrison. Therefore, there is no need to distinguish between the elite and mediocrity among them, and there is no need to distinguish between the banner people, the Mongols and the Han people, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has come to the moment of life and death.

"Ordered the logistics department, speed up the transportation, speed up. The governor asked them to send all the troops and military supplies to Caofeidian within a month. A layer of blood red appeared on Chen Ming's face. His grand cause was about to complete the most important step, and Chen Ming was a little excited now.

Although most of the troops he led in this battle were non-main garrisons, most of the musketeers still held old-fashioned shotguns. But so what? Aren't the Manchu teams also elite garbage mixed together? The current Fu Han army still has an absolute superiority in artillery fire, as well as an abundant number of extremely sharp rockets.

Chen Ming never thought that he would lose this battle, at most he paid more casualties.

As long as the logistics department can transport all the follow-up troops and military supplies in early March, Chen Ming is already a little impatient.

"Beat the drum and raise the account." He is going to sweep Lutai Town and Qilihai first! Communicate the direct connection between Caofeidian and Tianjin.

"The Metropolitan Governor is victorious, the Metropolitan Governor is victorious......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose ......"

The shouts of tens of thousands of people could be heard by the Qing soldiers in Lutai Town. Chen Ming's arrival made the already high morale of the Fu Han army go one step further, and the 'morale' that was boiling like red magma was abundant, and the scorching sun was radiating endless light.

If Chen Ming immediately led his troops into Lutai Town, he would have found that with the great increase in the morale of the Fu Han army, the morale of the 30,000 Qing soldiers gathered in the area from Lutai Town to Qilihai was like a heavy blow.

Chen Ming's 'majesty' is too great. This is the same as Napoleon's role in the French army in the war of Napoleon, when he appears in front of the army, the morale of the French army can increase out of thin air, and the enemy opposite them will feel fear. This is an excellent commander's confidence in the army! As for the Qing army, even Ah Gui, who has always been prestigious, is far from being able to do this.

Chen Ming would not let go of the great opportunity for the army's morale to boil, and summoned the generals of all the troops to discuss briefly, and then the war would start the day after he arrived. At that time, the news of Chen Ming's arrival in Tianjin was estimated to have reached Beijing.

A fast horse galloped into Lutai Town, turned over and dismounted in front of Yonglang. reported loudly: "Bei Ziye, Chen Rei's horse team has come out!" ”

"Is it Chen Reverse's cavalry brigade, or is it Shandong's rebel bandits?" Yonglang is the clan of Aixinjue Luo, and his ancestor is Prince Yi Yinxiang, the famous prime minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty. His father is the seventh son of Yinxiang, Prince Xiyi, and he himself was named the viscount of Gushanbei after Yonghui officially ascended the throne.

"Bei Ziye, it's not Chen Yi's cavalry brigade, it's a horse thief in Shandong."

Yonglang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the cavalry brigade of the Fu Han Army did not have many men and horses, and the battle was very few, but the battle was absolutely powerful. However, the cavalry regiment in Shandong, the main force was originally in Cangzhou, and later came to Caofeidian by boat, and it fought with the Qing army horse team several times before, but it was not very good. "Order the Sang, let his horse team attack quickly!"

Yonglang immediately took out his Western pocket watch, and the time was 3:30 in the afternoon. He also received the news of Chen Ming's arrival at three o'clock, and it was only half an hour before Chen Rei's horse team came out. Yonglang is very gloomy in his heart!

"Let the monks be careful. Chen Ming's rebellion has arrived, and Chen Ming's morale will inevitably increase greatly. Don't suffer a loss! ”

After receiving the order, the monk quickly led the horse team out of Lutai Town. The strength of his unit is a little more than that of the Shandong horse team, in addition to more than 500 Beijing flag horse armor soldiers, there are also 16,700 Zhili horse team. The total number of Shandong cavalry that arrived at Caofeidian was only three battalions, and some horses were damaged on the thousands of miles of sea, and many horses were sick and did not recover, and only a thousand horses were able to fight so far.

The battle between the two sides is not once or twice, and the monk cannot say that he has won the opponent, but relying on the superior forces, he has always suppressed the Shandong cavalry in the Caofeidian area.

Before the Qing army went to war, they were rewarded with one or two taels of silver per person, and the white-flour steamed buns sandwiched with palm-sized fat slices, as well as fragrant broth, were enough.

This food is definitely enough!

However, few of the monks' subordinates showed their small faces, and even the horse armor soldiers of the Beijing Banner all had sad faces, and some people stuffed meat buns into their mouths while crying. Because there are a lot of people who think that this is their last meal.

Wang Ping is another very good name, which is the same as General Wang Da, who led the Shu Han Wudang Flying Army in history. He is Wang Jintai's nephew, and now he has given the halo of the Manchu army with a yellow flag. The Wang family was originally the white flag of the Han army, Wang Jintaigui was the commander of Zhili, and the Han army flag was greatly expanded, and the Wang family was of course indispensable. But Wang Jintai died 'heroic', was captured by his subordinates and surrendered, and committed suicide himself, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to reward the Wang family, the Wang family became the banner of the Manchu army with a wave of the pen.

If this had been put ten years ago, it would really have made the entire Wang family grateful. But right now, it's a talisman.

The military attachés of the Green Battalion also came to Wang Ping with a sad face, and the report of the horse probe said that the opponent was only a horse thief from Shandong, but who dared to guarantee it? The cavalry brigade of the Fu Han army - the horses may not work, and the people will not be able to do it at all? Even if people can't do it at all, what about their equipment? This battle is not easy to fight.

But at this time, the green battalion soldiers who could still be left in the team by the Manchu Qing were all the elite of the green battalion, and most of the leaders who led the army were also expanded into the Han army banner. And the Fu Han Army is a ruthless existence for any banner person, what is the difference between the Han Army Flag and the Manchu Army Flag and the Mongolian Army Flag? They just want to surrender, and they are afraid of the legendary 'labor reform'.

"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Chen family has already arrived in Tianjin, and this last battle is about to start. You're showing you the way, what are we going to do? ”

"What to do? Is that what we have to say? Have a good meal and have a fight with the Sangha. Be loyal to the emperor! ”

"Really loyal to the emperor of Beijing?"

"Lord Wang, the opposite side is the crown prince of the Chen family." The Qing army was afraid of Chen Ming.

Wang Ping looked at the three green battalion generals around him who were anxious and unspeakable, and smiled deeply: "Why don't we eat more, and when we meet the Fuhan Army later, let's run to the northeast?" ”

"That'...... That's an escape! An officer with the rank of Sanpin General had an embarrassed expression on his face. There must be a great danger in fighting Caofeidian, and although they did not know how long it would take for the horses to enter the battle after a long sea voyage, the officers believed that the cavalry of the cavalry brigade of the Fu Han army would not at least not all become soft-footed shrimp.

The Manchu cavalry collided with the cavalry brigade several times, but they all suffered a lot of losses. The wall-type ramming tactics of the cavalry of the Fu Han Army were extremely lethal in the front. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to follow the monk to Caofeidian. really encountered the cavalry of the Fu Han Army, but there was no way out. But after such an imminent escape, the officer couldn't wipe his face for a while. The main thing is, if you escape today, will you be able to escape tomorrow? He is no longer a Han Chinese, but a banner man. Even if you surrender, it is very likely that you will be sent to labor reform, and in one or two decades, it is better to die.

"Escape when you run away, and I'll hold it for you when the sky falls." Wang Ping shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said to the generals with a smile, "Let the brothers eat quickly, and leave when they are done, no one will want to rest tonight, they must run fifty miles!" ”

After everyone left, a young man with most of his own soldiers came out of the tent behind Wang Ping. The young man smiled very sweetly at Wang Ping!

The dark camp has been on the move, although they have not been able to pry many of the Qing army's roots. The Manchu Qing at least harvested the military power of the Han people in the Zhili area. For example, teams like Wang Ping were all in Henan before. He was brought by Ah Gui from Henan to the Daimyo's Mansion and then transferred to Lutai Town, Tianjin. As for why Wang Ping was able to win the honor of 'trust' of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was naturally because of Wang Jintai.

It's a pity that the high-level people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty just turned into ghosts and don't know how Wang Jintai died, and they don't know what happened when Jinan City fell.

As for the restoration of the Han army, Wang Jintai's 'credit' Chen Ming has always been in mind. People like Wang Ping are simply his own people.

The collision between the two teams began at around 4:20 minutes. There was not much distance from Dabo to Lutai Town, and after groping for a while, they soon met in Fengnan Town in the north of Dabo. There is not a single local person in sight here, and the whole town is as dilapidated and desolate as an abandoned ghost town.

The Qing army also attacked Dabo, and the two sides have fought around the town many times in the past two months.

On both sides were very traditional oriental cavalry.

However, the Eight Banners horse armor soldiers on the Manchu side have long lost the ability of their ancestors to ride and shoot, and many of them carry muskets instead of bows and arrows. On the side of the Fu Han Army, the soldiers of the Shandong Cavalry Regiment did not have cuirasses, but each of them had an extra holster on the side of their saddle, and in it were two double-barreled handcuffs loaded with ammunition.

As soon as the two horses encountered, they immediately started fighting. The Qing army had more than 2,000 horsemen, and the Fu Han army only had 1,200 or 300 horsemen, but the latter had two double-barreled handguns, and their confidence was already off the charts!

"Kill......" the monk shouted without hesitation. Yang Lei here also raised the horse pistol in his hand and shouted and charged.

The war horses on both sides did not gallop for long, and the horsepower was abundant, so there was only killing.

The origin of the Beijing flag horse team under the monk is complicated, there are the children of the Beijing flag recruited under the Manchu crisis, and there are also horse armor soldiers in the cavalry battalion, the guard camp and other places, what is the red flag, the red flag, the blue flag, the white flag, except for the people who do not see the three flags, the remaining five flags are all inclusive. These are all people with full military flags!

There were twenty or thirty elites in it, and they had to be able to shoot arrows while running on horses—a skill that was rare and common a hundred and twenty years ago, but now, it's a great real skill. You have to give a 'good riding and shooting' review.

These twenty or thirty elites, all of whom were in the monk's Goshhari, were scattered among the banner soldiers and horses at the moment, and one by one they took out their bows and arrows, and some of them had already caught the arrows in their hands. However, a sudden change of events completely frustrated the Sangha's calculations.

He originally let Wang Pingjun take the lead, and then Wang Ping led the rest of the men to follow, and the banner soldiers were pressed or exerted at the critical moment. But what has Wang Ping done now? He led his thousands of cavalry to make a ninety-degree turn in front of the two armies and ran north.

He led the men and ran north.

Not only that, the remaining hundreds of horsemen of Wang Pingjun's army also fled north in a swarm, and the Manchurian banner horse armor soldiers of the Sangge headquarters were suddenly lit up in front of the Shandong cavalry who had already trotted up.

"Wang Ping......"

The monk's eyes were torn. At this time, Wang Ping was still in front of him, and he could break Wang Ping's neck, peel off Wang Ping's stomach, and see if his heart and liver were blacker than black charcoal!! But he didn't have time anymore, he didn't even have time to resent Wang Ping, "rush, rush quickly...... the flag soldiers must move.

Wang Ping escaped with the team, I don't know how much worse the level of this 'pre-formation' is worse than that of the Guanning army back then? Anyway, the monk was hard at it.

At that time, the Zu family was a master, and he turned into selling his teammates before the battle, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty easily won big victories again and again. And now this mastery has 'reappeared in the rivers and lakes' in Wang Ping, and the person who fell into the pit was the victor of the year-the Manchu Eight Banners Army.

Is it a report and a report? Anyway, when the news reached Chen Ming's ears later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chen Han was very happy.

The Eight Banners soldiers who were forced to the edge of the cliff by 'life and death' still have blood and bravery. In the original time and space, one crow, two crows, and the number of enemies killed and injured by the Eight Banners soldiers are not mentioned, if the effect is not to be said, just say that the courage to resist is still very high. At least they fought several battles with a high casualty rate, which was much higher than that of Han armies such as the Green Battalion.

It's the same with the current battle.

With a sound of "Peng", the war horse under the monk's crotch collided with a running Shandong cavalry horse, and both sides fell to the ground on their backs at the same time. It's just that the nimble Shandong cavalry jumped away first, and although he was not lightly injured after rolling off the horse, he finally did not lose his life. And what about the Sangha? The whole person was smashed down by the crooked war horse, and he knew that he was dead. His arm couldn't be raised, and his right leg, which was pressed under the war horse, felt a heart-piercing pain, and it must have been broken, so if he could survive on the battlefield, he would be a lucky star.

But if he wants to die like this, he is really unwilling...... (To be continued.) )
