"Master Bei, Master Bei,...... Wang Ping ran away! ”

Yonglang turned abruptly from a huge map of Tianjin, looking at the Chinese army who were panting and running to report it. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info "What do you say?" ”

"Lord Bei, Wang Ping escaped from the battle, and Master Seng Ge died on the spot. Four or five hundred banner soldiers and vests only escaped back less than a hundred! Captain Goshkhawei had a gritted hatred on his face.

And Yonglang's eyes went on an expedition, and as soon as he used his two hands, the bamboo whip in his hand was broken in two, and then he smashed it to the ground. A raging fire burned in his heart, and he couldn't wait to call all the Han soldiers under him in one place, scolding, and whipping fiercely to eliminate the fire in his heart. But......

"Circle the defeated soldiers in one place. Tell them not to be quiet...... "Yonglang is not a reckless man who doesn't care about anything when he rushes with blood, and calmness reoccupies his brain."

"Bei Ziye......" The voice of the captain of the guard contained too much shock and disbelief.

"Get out!" The murderous aura in Yonglang's eyes was almost condensed, and the captain of the guard was stunned and hurriedly retreated.

"Hold on, hold on. You must hold back! Looking at the back of the captain of the guard leaving, Yonglang's muscles tightened, like restraining a raging beast, he told himself, he must hold back!

From Lutai Town to Qilihai, the Han people in the 30,000 Qing army are far more than just Wang Ping's more than 1,000 horse teams, if this news breaks out, the banner soldiers and Mongolian soldiers must be 100 dissatisfied with the green battalion training, isn't it going to be chaotic? Yonglang must hold back!

The captain of the guard, who had returned from his errand, saw that the room was being cleaned up by the soldiers, the tables, chairs, tea sets, and furnishings, except for the map hanging on the wall, had all been replaced with new ones, and he was silent.

The evening breeze blew coldly from the door.

When night came, on the low head of Lutai Town, Qing soldiers stood solemnly. In the face of the Fu Han army, which was about to be killed, this low city wall would not play a role. What really worked was the criss-crossing ditches inside and outside the town, and the several stone bunkers.

Lutai Town is a typical small town, because it is next to the salt factory, the market is very good, two horizontal and two vertical four streets, the whole town is divided into nine squares of about the same size, the original salt factory yamen and the garrison yamen fall to the middle position, there are hundreds of merchants around, and the residents of the whole Lutai town are more than 10,000 people. But now there are no more civilians here, and it has become a pure military camp. Semi-enclosed forts were erected, and trenches that were too deep into the ground were interspersed, and at the intersecting nodes of each street on the surface stood a blockhouse made entirely of stone and fifty pounds of large blue bricks. On the military layout map of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was called Dongdaying.

The night was already dark, but few people could sleep peacefully. Because everyone knew that Chen Ming had arrived, because they all knew that war was coming.

In the afternoon, the monk led a team of more than 2,000 horses out of Lutai, and came back with a fraction of a head. Even the monk himself hung up on the array. Yonglang let the defeated soldiers control their mouths, and did not arouse the contradictions between the Manchu and Han soldiers, but it also made him unable to shirk this defeat. The 2,000 horse team was finished so quickly, and only a few hundred horsemen escaped and came back, how much pressure did this put on the Lutai Qing army.

Nothing happened until dawn.

The next day, rumbling footsteps sounded from Caofeidian. Over 40,000 Fu Han troops lined up in a neat line and strode towards Lutai.

The morale of the Fuhan army is high like a sun radiating light, thousands of miles of battle, thousands of miles of long-distance battles, victory is just around the corner. The spirit of the current Fuhan Army can be said to be the peak since the founding of the army. Whether these people are the main force of the Fu Han Army, or the Tiandihui Righteous Army, the Qingshui Sect, the Mixed Yuan Sect Army that surrendered to Chen Han, or even the original Qing soldiers, one or two or three years have passed, they have been divided into fields, renewed points, and sooner or later have already received real 'dividends' The soldiers, in the face of the current situation that this great achievement is about to be completed, how many of them will not change into the most loyal warriors of Chen Han's great cause of unifying the country?

The Qing army in front of you is over, and the city of Beijing is 'your own'!

Chen Ming knew very well why the morale of the team was so high, so he thought that the Qing army would not be able to resist it at all! Ah Gui should not sit in Tongzhou with the main army, the Qing army's offensive in the past two months has been too weak, so that they can't lift their spirits.

Especially after entering the second half of the first month, the Qing army at this time should not continue to avoid the war, but should put on a posture of decisive battle in Tianjin early in the morning. Otherwise, every time an army of the Fu Han army arrives in Caofeidian, their momentum and the courage of the soldiers will become higher and higher, and now Chen Ming's arrival has triggered everyone's ***, Chen Ming took such an army to attack Lutai, and he didn't think about what would happen if he failed?

Sweeping Lutai, sweeping Beitang, and sweeping Dagukou, if Ah Gui still can't hold back at that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will really be over. The Fu Han army marched westward, smashing into Beijing, and the closer they got to Beijing, the closer they were to victory. At that time, anyone who tried to block them from entering Beijing would be crushed alive.

The 40,000 Fu Han army came directly from Caofeidian with great momentum, and Yonglang sent someone to report to Beitang quickly, and the other is, "Gather the generals to the Chinese army to discuss matters." ”

Lutai is the important place of the Qing army's military arrangement, and half of the 30,000 Qing troops of this generation are deployed in Lutai. After all, Lutai is the central area of this generation, especially the Ji Canal, in this generation, there are several places in the river bay of the word "several", and the east side is Yangjiawa, and from Yangjiawa to the east is the Bohai Sea. The place between Yangjiawa and the Bohai Sea, the salt is all over, the terrain is complex, there are many bends and forks, and now after thawing, it is impossible to pass people on a large scale.

Yonglang ordered a military discussion. The Manchu, Han and Mongolian generals under his command gathered one after another.

"The national fortune of our Qing Dynasty is survival or death, and we will fight here!" Yonglang didn't play false, got straight to the point, and announced loudly.

On a delicate military map, three red squares representing the Fu Han army have appeared in the open space between the towns of Dabolai and Lutai. All the Qing officers looked at the three red squares, which were not too big or too small. The atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn.

"There is no one here who is not in the flag, how much Chen Wei hates the flag man, you all know it in your hearts. So forget about those troubles and distractions that shouldn't be there, and let them see how powerful our Eight Banners are! At this moment, Yonglang really felt that Emperor Daxing's expansion of the Han military flag was an absolute trick, and what was even more gratifying was that Chen Wei never expressed his position on this, which forced the Han people to be loyal to Daqingguo. Of course, scum like Wang Ping is inevitable. But at this moment, Yonglang can only hope that there is only one Wang Ping among the generals under him.

All the people went out with blood on their faces, and Yonglang also changed into a sturdy cotton armor robe.

The Fu Han army had already marched to the vast open space in front of Lutai Town with high morale. The Fu Han army divided two troops, one left and one right, to suppress Yangjiawa and Miaozhuang respectively, and the main force had at least 30,000 cavalry, lined up outside Lutai Town.

The cannons were still dragged at the back of the team, and there were not many oxen in the team, all used to pull the cannons, as well as horses, donkeys and mules. The 12-kilogram cannon was too heavy, and the total weight of the artillery truck plus the ammunition truck exceeded 3,800 kilograms. It took two bullocks and four mules and horses to keep the cannon moving as fast as the infantry.

When the Fu Han army arrived at Lutai Town, Chen Ming looked at his pocket watch, 8:22.

The heavy artillery unit quickly set up the artillery, and another group of guards began to build the artillery position after choosing a suitable place in front. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the saying that there is great strength in numbers. Just when the 32 12-jin guns brought in by the Fu Han Army were aimed at Lutai Town and bombarded violently, the artillery positions closer to Lutai had already been built, and the eight-jin guns and five-pound guns quickly advanced into the artillery positions.

The pressure on the Qing army was even greater, and the Qing army, which had always had insufficient artillery production, deployed only 20 firepower in Lutai Town. Among them, the number of new guns is not even half. How can you fight an artillery battle with the Fu Han army?

After an hour of shelling, the strong, semi-enclosed artillery forts either collapsed or were crumbling under the constant impact of iron bullets.

"Cavalry ready!"

"Rocket troops, come forward!"

There is no need for Chen Ming to order in person, with a wave of his hand, the people below will know what to do next.

"Whoosh ......"

The rockets dragging the long tail flame fell one by one on Lutai, and the sound of explosions was like thunder in the sky, and large puffs of gunpowder smoke and dust rose up, and the entire town of Lutai was annihilated.

The offensive mode of the Fu Han army is a bit programmed. After the rockets were fired, large groups of infantry attacked. "The wind is from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, fame, fortune and dust and earth ......"

The first to attack was the first division of the Shandong Army to arrive in Caofeidian after the year, and Yang Mingzhao certainly would not stand in the army, he had already changed his position. handed over all the teams in his hands, just like Wang Lun, staying in Nanjing City and enjoying the glory and wealth.

At present, the commander of the first division of the Shandong Army is none other than Tang Wencan. After going to the Anhui battlefield, Tang Wencan did not make any remarkable contributions, but his position was high enough and his loyalty arrived, and at the same time as the garrison troops in various provinces were established, these people entered the garrison army one after another as division commanders and brigade commanders.

The deputy commander of the first division is Wang Jinglong, Wang Lun's righteous son. After the Qingshui Sect raised troops, his own credit was great, and Wang Lun himself let go of all his rights, and Wang Jinglong was promoted to the position of deputy commander of the first division.

More than 5,000 people from the First Brigade of the First Division of the Shandong Army sang military songs and rushed towards Lutai Town with high spirits. But the sound of artillery extinguished, in the ruins of Lutai Town, the city walls were all broken and collapsed, "Bao Daqing, the time has come to serve the emperor!" Brothers, kill thieves with me! ”

Hysterical shouts echoed through the ruins, and one after another the remnants of the Qing army rose from the ruins. The large Qing army that had been transferred out of Lutai Town before Yonglang also began to enter the ruins, and at the same time, the Qing army in the direction of Yangjiawa and Miaozhuang Town also launched a diversion attack on the Fu Han army.

The hot air balloon carried by the Fu Han Army has not yet risen, and this Lutai looks like it is about to be taken down by them.

The rapid whistle of "beep beep beep ......" sounded, which was a signal to stop.

"Stand upright, look to the right and ......"

"Squat in the front row! Standing in the middle row! Raise your gun—"

The shouts and shouts of officers at all levels in the Shandong Army came and went, and the troops of the entire brigade had dispersed into small groups one by one as the basic units, and in the face of the Qing troops gathered little by little in the ruins of Lutai, the various units of the Shandong Army that had already rushed to the edge of Lutai began to have troops standing and firing their guns under the guidance of the officers.

"Aim...... Put! ”

A 'release' seemed to open the door of a thunderbolt, and the muzzles of a hundred shotguns burst out at the same time, and then two neat white smoke erupted from the front of the Shandong army, permeating the two armies. On the opposite side, a group of Qing troops who had just assembled fell down one layer in unison.

Like ruins, the town of Lutai resounded with the fierce fighting of bilateral soldiers.

Chen Ming clearly saw two 'morales' coming from behind Lutai Town (to the south) into the ruins, but he did not give orders to the artillery or rocket troops. This Shandong garrison is not a rookie who has just seen blood, and among the current 'hors d'oeuvres', it is good to be sharpened.

You see now, these Shandong heroes are not frightened by the reinforcements of the Qing army at all, their morale is still strong, and the battle line in the ruins has always advanced a little bit in advance.

"Soldiers, it's time to serve the court, follow me!" At dawn, the 1,000 horse teams urgently transferred from Qilihai joined Yonglang's personal guard horse armor soldiers, and the total strength was less than 1,500 people, and Shi Lang, the commander of this army, shouted loudly. Under his leadership, at this time, it was like an open curtain, stepping through the frozen water from between Yangjiawa and Lutai Town, and rushing towards the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Shandong Army led by Meng Can. The latter was the follow-up force sent by Chen Ming to the ruins of Lutai.

The front of the 1st Division of the Shandong Army is still extending to the south, but the speed has slowed down.

At this time, they need reinforcements, which will not only bring them the support of their troops, but also re-energize their morale, which has begun to decline.

As for the Manchu cavalry that rushed out of the gap between Yangjiawa and Lutai Town, Chen Ming had already arranged to deal with it.

"Beep beep beep ......"

The soldiers of the personal guard brigade of a regiment formed two columns and quickly inserted themselves to the southeast, blocking between the Qing army's horse team and the troops of the fourth brigade of the second division of the Shandong Army like a thin line.

......During this period, the two artillery positions on the left flank of the Fu Han Army divided part of their firepower and aimed their guns at the Qing horse team that had been killed.

"Boom Boom Boom ......" included rocket troops, and one rocket after another fell on the road of the Qing army's horse team charge.

The fire flickered, and the horses fell to the ground with a wail, and the horsemen turned into corpses. A violent explosion can tear a horse apart, and human life becomes as small as an ant in the sound of explosions.

"Chong, rush, ......" Shi Lang shouted loudly, no matter how many shells hit, he had to rush towards the Fu Han army.

Yonglang sent an order, Lutai Town could no longer bear it, if this force of the Fu Han Army entered the ruins of Lutai, what was waiting for the Qing army would inevitably be a complete collapse. The infantry of Qilihai has not yet rushed over, and the men and horses of Beitang have not rushed over. If the Qing troops in the ruins of Lutai collapsed, the consequences would be a disaster.

The Qing soldiers, who did not even respond, were likely to be completely wiped out by the Han army.

"Tell Nyada, reinforcements, I want reinforcements. The soldiers of Lutai can't hold it for a morning! "The artillery bombardment of the Fu Han army is just that, the blow of the rockets is too demoralizing. Soldiers hiding in deep trenches can be shocked to death, such weapons are simply cheating!

Yonglang clenched the handle of the knife in his hand tightly. This was Chen Ming's first battle after arriving at Caofeidian, and it can also be said to be the first battle to open the Manchu and Han duels, and he didn't want to be so powerless to fight back. And all this depends on Shi Lang.

"Gentlemen of the Eight Banners, the time has come for the emperor to protect the Qing Dynasty!"

"Big guys can't embarrass their ancestors!"

"Rush, I'm holding back all my strength! Soon it's our turn to wield the knife. ”

"Hold the handle of the knife tightly, and let the gentlemen use the knife to teach these traitors a good lesson......"

Amid the violent explosion, shouts rang out in the Qing army's horse team, and the officers shouted to cheer up their subordinates. Because there's only a thin red line ahead of them.

The soldiers of the Guards Brigade were fearless, facing the Qing horse team that rushed out of the artillery blockade, and the officer at the head seemed to pay more attention to the number of flag soldiers in this horse team.

Not bad, very good.

The horse team in front of me only has a thousand people left, most of them are wearing cotton armor, so they are all flag soldiers. "The brethren leveled their guns and told the Tartars in front of them that the days of cavalry were gone."

"It's all there, aim for ...... Put! ”

Out of thin air, a thunderclap sounded, which was the sound of a salvo of two thousand flintlock muskets, and a neat white smoke erupted from the front of the Fuhan army's line. One hundred and ten steps away, one by one, the Eight Banners vest soldiers fell to the ground.

Shi Lang knew that the morale of the team was high today, and every banner person knew that their 'Great Green Fruit' had reached the time of life and death. Many people remain in the city of Beijing with their families, fighting not only for their country, but also for their families.

However, the horse team was able to continue to charge under such fierce artillery fire, which Shi Lang never expected, and it was also something that made him extremely happy. Their Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is really powerful. When they broke through the fire blockade of the Fu Han army with great courage, only an extremely thin infantry line was left in front of them. This is not a hollow array, but a single line of troops.

Shi Lang doesn't take the enemy in front of him seriously. With such a thin line, isn't it broken in one rush? Not only can he impact the flank of the reinforcements of the Fu Han Army today, but he can also make a lot of money before that.

However, when Shi Lang was still daydreaming of killing the battlefield and using the blood of the Han Army to achieve his endless glory, the next moment he was completely stunned.

"Boom ......"

The sound of two thousand flintlock guns firing at the same time was really more violent than the explosion of the heaviest type of rocket.

A lead bullet drilled into the neck of the war horse under his crotch, and the galloping war horse fell to the ground, Shi Lang's whole person was thrown out, and he fell heavily on the yellow earth, and the huge pain made his whole person look black, and he never woke up. Shi Lang didn't know that in that quarter of an hour, there were hundreds of banner soldiers and horse armor soldiers who were thrown out of their horses like him. Some of them are dead, some are still alive, and they are still conscious, and they can hear the screams of people turning over on their backs, and the wailing of war horses.

The Qing army's horse corps was very scattered, so in the face of a salvo of a regiment of the Guards Brigade, their wounds were very large, and the casualties were very heavy, so heavy that the remaining horse armor soldiers no longer had the courage to face the bayonets of the soldiers of the Fu Han army.

First the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery fire and rockets, and then the salvo strike of an entire regiment, this Qing army horse team, just like their commander Shi Lang, died!

"Rush, ......"

The Fourth Brigade of the Shandong Army shouted slogans and rushed into the ruins of Lutai Town. Yonglang's eyes closed, and two tears flowed from his eyes. (To be continued.) )
