The Shangshui city wall collapsed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info was blown down!

"Rush, ......"

The earth-shattering slogan resounded on the front line of Shangshui, and a blood tiger flag had been planted in Shangshui West City.

After three days of heavy bombardment, the entire Shangshui County changed its appearance under the shells.

A team of the Han army rushed to the head of the city and rushed into the county seat of Shangshui.

There are no rows of guns here, there are just hand-to-hand combat and fighting. The Qing army retreated step by step, the city had been broken, and the Qing army of Shangshui, which had been made into a psychotic by the non-stop shelling and explosions around the clock, how many people could fight the street battle as courageously as Enhui imagined? The business water is finished.

The Qing army in front did not flee immediately, and it was already a mercy and ruthlessness. At the county school closest to Beicheng, the grace who sat there had already cut off thirty or forty heads with a knife, including the heads of some officers.

The Fu Han army had just entered the county, and it was difficult to think of 'surrendering' for a while, and the Qing army could only resist very hard. What's more, there is also a prison army among them - the Eight Banners are here!

Zhu Yan put his foot on the corpse of the flag soldier and pulled out his bayonet, but the stab was not in the position and was stuck by the bone.

"Whew......" gasped for air. Zhu Yan did not continue to rush forward, but sat on the ground.

"Team Officer......" The concerned voices of his subordinates immediately sounded around him. Just like when he was the leader of the Anlu militia, he was watched by his brothers at all times.

"It's fine." Zhu Yan waved his hand, did not stand up immediately, but took out a small silver kettle from his waist and drank the remaining half pot of wine. "Don't rush too fast, try to recruit them, see if they don't fall."

Zhu Yan looked at the Qing army who retreated again and again, and scolded: "Damn, the city is broken, and I am scared of all my courage, and I still carry a fart." ”

There are one and there are two, when one person shouts 'surrender the gun or kill', there will be a second person shouting, and when the shouts of 'surrender the gun and don't kill' are loud on the battlefield, the favor in the county school closed his eyes helplessly.

Enhui retired from the county school, and then the soldiers of the Fu Han army were killed in front of the county school.

Forty or fifty banner soldiers were gathered inside, plus two or three hundred green battalions.

The Fu Han army did not rush at the county school, but sent the flag soldiers to the outside to play the flag, and the lookout soldiers on the hot air balloon saw the flag and immediately transmitted the message downward, and the order was sent to the artillery position as quickly as possible.

The sound of "boom, boom, boom ......" engulfed the surrounding area of the county school.

The attacking troops of the Fu Han Army found the quilt of the Qing army from the barracks under the city wall, a square table, set up two layers of quilts, splashed with water, and a standard earthen tank was completed. Two or three soldiers rushed straight towards the county school with earthen tanks, or two layers of quilts, and they were more or less followed by the soldiers of the Fu Han Army with bayonets.

When more than a dozen earthen tanks moved with difficulty to less than 30 meters away from the county school, an officer of the Fu Han Army jumped up, swung his saber and slashed downward, and a rain of grenades was thrown inside and outside the county school.

The sound of ......the grenade exploding, the huge shock wave and the flying shrapnel directly made the Manchu and Han Qing soldiers in the county school cry wolf for a while. As soon as they raised their heads from the shelling of the Fu Han army, they were immediately beaten with a beating.

The soldiers of the Fu Han Army behind the earthen tank took the opportunity to rush to the county school with bayonets.

A fierce but not long battle brought down more than 30 wounded and corpses, and all the Qing troops inside and outside the county school surrendered. Subsequently, the remaining twenty small flag soldiers were half eliminated on the spot. 'Surrender or don't kill' and 'surrender or kill' have never been put on the body of the flag soldiers, even the flag soldiers themselves know about this, but they still can't help but surrender in the face of death.

If you surrender, you still have a chance to live, and if you don't surrender, you will only die.

The shouts of 'surrender or kill' and 'surrender and kill' sounded all over the city, and Enhui did not sit in the dilapidated county office and wait for death. Instead, he gathered the last controllable army in his hand, and quickly rushed towards the Fu Han army that had entered after the county government assembled.

Enhui, who hadn't slept well for three days, had bubbles at the corners of his mouth and bloodshot eyes. Looking at the army in front of him, he knew very well that attacking was self-defeating, but as a loyal minister of Da Qingguo, Enhui hoped that he could fight to the death as much as possible to all Chen Reyi who could fight to the death. As for how many of his soldiers survived, he didn't need to care. Because he's going to die soon!

Hundreds of swords and guns converged into a dazzling silver sea, favors to the north, he wanted to say a few words to boost the morale of the soldiers, but when he opened his mouth, his throat could not produce a syllable.

"Go-" Half-rang, a dry word burst out of his mouth.

Behind him, a flag man military attache wearing a lightning rod drew his saber and slashed it towards the north, and all the languages, thousands of words, converged into one sentence: "Help protect the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Kill......"

Seven or eight hundred people, there were at least two or three hundred banner soldiers in it, and some of them bravely rushed to the forefront.

Hysterical shouting rang out in the middle of the ranks.

The shells of the Fu Han army also began to fall into the crowd.

When the shells suddenly fell into the crowd of Qing soldiers, their two wings also fiercely slaughtered a large number of soldiers of the Han Army. The sound of artillery disappeared, but the dense rain of bullets and grenades continued to fall on the ranks of the Qing army, and the last Qing soldiers in Shangshui City were also confused.

One by one, the soldiers fell to the ground. Bullets, grenades, rained down.

A "whoosh" sounded in his ears, and a projectile grazed Enhui's cheek, shattering the head of one of his guards.

Grace's expression has not changed in the slightest, death is death, and the most important thing is to kill the enemy as much as possible.

The gunfire rang out like fried beans, and the last fierce battle in Shangshui County, when the gunfire stopped fighting, Enhui had already fallen to the ground on his back, blood soaking his cotton armor.

Ah Gui looked at Shangshui County, where the sound of guns and cannons was gradually quiet, and his face was full of loneliness. In the past three days, he led the team to really cut off the communication between Zhoujiakou and Shangshui, and the roads between the two were already dug by the Qing army. The Fu Han army came by paving the road and cushioning the pit all the way, it is a line, and it is very easy to break it. But Shangshui still fell.

Only three days!

The Fu Han army concentrated at least 150 artillery pieces to bombard day and night, three days and two nights, and countless rockets......

It is mad to put such firepower into the establishment of this era.

"What should Shangshui County look like now?" Ah Gui couldn't see the scene in Shangshui City, but he felt that the Shangshui County at this moment must be full of desolation and ruins.

At night, the cold wind blows, and the Fen River [not the Fen River in Shanxi] is on the bank.

Tens of thousands of Qing army horses quietly camped, and Wang Tenglong led the troops to meet with Agui.

The sparkling water of the river shimmered in the light of the fire, and Aguiti wrote the folds.

The rockets of the Fu Han army greatly surprised them, and the appearance of this weapon almost turned the previously powerful pit into a graveyard. However, this weapon was not mastered by the Qing army, and the Qing army's tunnels lost its effect on the Fu Han army, while the Fu Han army's tunnels could easily resist the Qing army's counterattack.

There are also hot air balloons, the emergence of these two new 'weapons' directly changed the mode of warfare, making the large number of fortifications built by the Manchus last year and this year with a lot of manpower, material and financial resources useless.

The hot air balloon allowed the Fu Han army to take over all the arrangements of the Qing army. When all the defensive positions on the periphery of the Qing army were lost, the artillery of the Fu Han army could carry out intensive and accurate bombardment of the barracks, arsenals, command posts and other key places in the city under the guidance of hot air balloons.

It's a defensive nightmare.

The deterrent effect of the horse team on the Fu Han army was also quite limited, and Ah Gui gave Emperor Qianlong a detailed account of the battle of Li Persimmon Yuan and a series of his own feelings after the war.

It was only a small army of the Fu Han army.

If the target is replaced by the main attack force of the Fu Han army, or if they only need to be equipped with twenty or thirty cannons, if they want to inflict enough damage on the Fu Han army, the Qing army must first pay a heavy price.

Huge casualties in exchange for the opportunity to fight in close combat, a precious opportunity!

The number of horses required in this way is far from being satisfied by a few thousand or ten thousand horses. And it must be a cluster of tens of thousands of horse teams. With the current financial resources of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ah Gui wondered, where could the Manchu Qing maintain a large number of cavalry for a long time. Moreover, Shandong, Beijing, Tianjin, and southern Liaoning all had Fu Han troops, and cavalry was needed everywhere.

"The minions thought that the trenches were useless and should be discarded. Chenzhou has been lost, and Runing and Gwangju cannot be sustained...... "Since there is a big loophole in the original plan, let's take advantage of the fact that the capital has not yet been fully pushed to the gambling table, and tear it down as soon as possible to redo the plan."

But withdrawing in vain is not his style, Ah Gui wants to take the Qing troops of Runing and Gwangju, as well as the horse team under his command, to play a big 'experiment'. Regardless of how Emperor Qianlong would react to this excerpt when it arrived in Beijing, Ah Gui's military order had already been conveyed before he wrote it in the dark.

……

On 16 October, the day when Chen Ming sent his troops for a whole month, a large-scale field collision between the Qing and Han dynasties, which had been rare since the beginning of last year, officially began in the fields outside Zhengyang County, Runing Prefecture.

On the Qing side, the defenders of Gwangju and Runyeong Province - the main Qing army of 30,000, which was equipped with at least 3,000 flintlock pistols, plus a cavalry unit led by Ah Gui to the south. The Qing army's horse team, which quickly attacked Chenzhou and moved south, left behind the large army of the Fu Han army on the northern route, which was heavily dependent on supplies.

On the side of the Fu Han Army, the 14th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the garrison and the 4th Division of Xiangyang were the 1st Division.

The latter's 15th Brigade was still in Hunan, the 16th and 17th Brigades each left a regiment in Xiangyang, and the 14th Brigade also left a regiment in Nanyang. Comparison of the strength of the two sides - 1:3.3, the Han army against the Qing army.

The position is located on the north bank of the Qingshui River, the terrain is flat, and the scenery is unremarkable.

If Ah Gui hadn't chosen the battlefield here, Qingshuihe probably wouldn't have been noticed by the staff of the Fu Han Army.

The river is very short and just a very small tributary of the Huai River.

Chen Wenzan, who commanded the Fourth Division, and Lu Long, who garrisoned the Second Division, did not hesitate to lead the troops into the battlefield set by Agui. This is a field battle, and it is hard to imagine that the Qing army will suddenly play a field battle with the Fu Han army.

Even if Chen Wenzan and Lu Long knew that there must be ghosts here, they arrived here without fear with more than 10,000 Fu Han troops.

In the process of preparing for war, Chen Wenzan deployed the army very mediocrely, basically divided into four groups: the right wing, the center, the left wing and the reserve.

Three brigades lined up, and then each divided into a regiment as a reserve. From south to north, the trumpet sounded at the moment of the decisive battle......

The Qing army's thirty or forty cannons were all lined up in front, and they could only carry so many cannons when they were in a hurry to retreat. Although the best of the best, almost all the cannons brought out were new cannons, which belonged to the good cannons cast by the new method.

Behind the artillery position were a formation of musketeers, with no shelter on the unobstructed Great Plains, and the Qing army's brigades of cavalry were deployed on both flanks.

Ah Gui raised his banner.

The Qing army had already arranged the position, and he looked at the dark night, imagining in his mind the soldiers of the Fu Han Army who were nervously building artillery positions, calmly waiting for the dawn to come. All the orders have been issued, and Ah Gui asked everyone around him to go down to rest, and he didn't close his eyes all night. He paced up and down the room, his mind constantly thinking, and from time to time he stood at the table covered with the map, looking at it and pondering.

The fifty-four-year-old commander of the Qing army was speculating on every move that the Han army on the opposite side might take.

The location of Ah Gui Xingyuan is a village, and now there is a huge barracks, and it is late at night, but the Qing soldiers around the campfire are still talking quietly, and not many people are sleeping.

Many fellow villagers gathered to discuss how to get the survivors to relay their last words to their loved ones if they were unlucky. Some of the soldiers who had been close to each other also gathered together and whispered goodbye. The Fu Han army is not easy to deal with, otherwise Da Qingguo would not have lost half of the country so quickly. After tomorrow's big battle, who knows how many people in the current crowd will survive? Many soldiers were silently wiping their weapons, staring silently into the night sky.

Early in the morning, the war began with the rumbling of artillery on both sides.

Ah Gui first gave the order to attack, and groups of Qing troops appeared on the opposite side of the position. Taking advantage of the mist before the sky was dark, the Qing army launched an attack.

The sound of artillery alarmed Chen Wenzan in the rear of the position, and he had not slept all night, and he didn't feel tired at all. Calmly walked to his post, and the entire command immediately set off.

The Qing army attacked under the cover of a faint morning mist. The officers and men of the Fu Han Army guarding in front of the artillery position did not show weakness, and the artillery also began to roar. However, the main force of the Qing army was not placed in the most central position of the front, but pointed the spearhead at the left flank of the Fu Han army. Ah Gui wanted to take advantage of the light fog to see if he could take down the left flank position.

Accompanying the elite of the Qing army was Wang Tenglong's more than 3,000 horse troops. They turned to the flank of the left flank of the Fu Han army.

Even if he can't do so, Ah Gui has to mobilize the Fu Han army from the front and force them to come to the rescue, so that the cavalry on his side who has an absolute advantage on the road can go on a killing spree.

The frontmost position at the southern end of the front was a grass-created stronghold-type position, and the Fu Han army had only placed a broken squadron there. After receiving a fierce attack from the Qing army, the defenders gave up this stronghold with a little resistance, and all the troops retreated.

However, Lu Long, who was in charge of the left flank, didn't care, the main position of the left flank was still behind.

The initial victory of the war did not determine the final outcome of the war at all. The central position has also been raised, only the right flank is still quiet.

The commander-in-chief, Chen Wenzan, was also not worried about the most heavily attacked position on the left flank, because the main artillery group of the Qing army was always in the center.

The sound of guns and cannons from the left flank was tight for a while, and the artillery fire power of the Fu Han army, which had absolute superiority, soon converged into an uninterrupted roar. Flowering bombs, shotguns, two weapons of mass destruction in the left wing troops, let more and more Qing infantry and cavalry gather there in front and flank, the 14th Brigade is not given in vain!

Two regiments, plus the brigade headquarters personally supervised by Lu Long, 4,000 troops, and the combat power buff of rockets, the left flank stood still in the thick smoke of gunpowder.

With the strength of a battalion, the Qing army used the aqueducts and ridges on the field as cover, coupled with the morning fog that had not yet dissipated as a cover, and quietly approached the central position of the Fu Han army from the side, wanting to cross the baptism of artillery shells and directly engage the musketeer array in front of the artillery position, but their movements were too big, and the target was not completed, so they were hit by the artillery of the Fu Han army.

The artillery battle on both sides was fierce.

In the middle of the artillery positions on both sides, whether it is the Fu Han army or the Qing army, both sides must be tested by the opponent's artillery fire before engaging in close combat.

Iron bullets and flowering bullets passed through the phalanxes of both sides, through the space, and stirred up blood-colored waves in the bilateral array.

"Poof! Burst! There was a sound of blood splattering, a sound of piercing bones and flesh. (To be continued.) )
