Chapter 458: Perrier's Envy
For the Qing army in Xuzhou, last night's fierce battle was sad and sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Shuyao's thought of the difference certainly saved the large army of the Qing army, but Li Shuyao's supervision standard was broken, Li Xingyuan's town standard was broken, and Fengshan's town standard was also broken.
The three most elite troops of the Qing army in Xuzhou City were all finished.
Li Shiyao used three stones to save a piece of sand.
In the night battle, the Fu Han army invested two battalions, one tank battalion and one musket battalion. Then the most elite forces of the Qing army in Xuzhou were broken at the backbone.
It was only a three-quarter hour of fighting!
Not to mention how tired the tank battalion was when they returned, in the late autumn weather, some soldiers were open, their strong chests were blowing in the night breeze, and on the edge of the campfire, Perrier could even see the steaming heat coming from the soldiers!
Perrier, of course, is more concerned about their numbers. This army did not lose much after a fierce battle.
"Sir, they have at least five hundred left."
"Can you estimate the exact number?" Perrier already knew the 'fighting spirit' of the Fu Han army. Soldiers of the attacking force who did not follow the troops back were almost always killed.
"Thirty to forty." The eyes of the attendants looking at the soldiers of the tank battalion were filled with horror. A thick smell of blood came from the bodies of each tank battalion soldier, and after removing their armor, their military uniforms were covered with blood, and even the boots under some of them were soaked with blood to their ankles.
Not to mention the blood dripping from the armor you took off, the blood stains on the broadsword and iron rod, and even the white objects. None of his attendants dared to look closely at what it was, and his intuition told him that the white object was a human brain.
Hearty laughter came from behind Perrier, it was the soldiers of the tank battalion after the war......
"The mentality of these soldiers is better." Perrière was a little envious, the defeat in the seven-year war made the entire Gallic rooster bad, Perrière, who had a certain understanding of Chinese culture, listened to the laughter of the tank battalion soldiers and couldn't help but think of an idiom, "The Chinese have an idiom to describe the morale of the army, and when they hear the war, they are happy, which means that they are very happy when they hear the news of the war, which is very suitable for these soldiers." ”
……
After the attacking troops withdrew from the battlefield, the artillery of the Fu Han Army quickly launched a covering bombardment towards the gap. There were seventy or eighty cannons and mortars concentrated in the south of Xuzhou. The elite of the Qing army, which had just 'defeated' a strong enemy, immediately turned into a head rat before they had time to be happy......
"Quick. Hide, hide! ”
Li Xingyuan saw the retreat of the Fu Han army, and he had no intention of pursuing it. Loud orders were given to the troops to hide. Get ready for the next round of shelling by the Fu Han Army! This is the positional battle of the Xuzhou battlefield, where the charge and artillery bombardment are staged in turn, and the Fu Han army constantly consumes their flesh and blood with shells, bullets and bayonets!
Whoever drains his blood and guts first will lose the battle.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Last night's shelling was very loud, and while Perrière was carefully observing the soldiers of the tank battalion after the war chatting and laughing, seventy or eighty large and small artillery pieces opened fire in unison, and the muffled sound in the sky was loud, it was really like there was a 'thunder pool'.
"Won't the **** continue to attack?" Perrier asked one of the Fu Han Army officers who was accompanying him.
"No more tonight." The officer shook his head. Chen Ming won't continue to fight tonight. Not only did they stop fighting, but they also asked the troops west of Xuzhou to open up some openings for the Qing troops who fled at night. The most important thing in the middle of the night tonight is to see if anyone in the Qing army has escaped. But the officers didn't understand how their Highness the Crown Prince could have expected someone to run away tonight.
He was just a small sergeant, and of course he didn't know Chen Ming's real arrangement.
The entire camp was known only to regimental-level officers, and when the second batch of musketeers from a battalion reinforced the tank battalion, more than 20 scouts wearing Qing army uniforms also entered Xuzhou City, and everything that followed was logical.
The sergeant's rank was too low to know about the plan at all.
The next half of the night passed so calmly, if there is another big fairy in the Fu Han army who can 'look at the qi technique', and watch the military spirit of Xuzhou at night, you can find that the morale of the Qing army in Xuzhou, which was originally as soft and scattered as cotton wool, is now more like a cloud. By the second half of the night, Chen Ming was already asleep. Suddenly hearing the faint sound of gunfire, he smiled and didn't get up, and continued to fall asleep.
Li Shiyao sat until dawn last night, and after a fierce attack launched by the Han army in the first half of the night, he did not launch a follow-up attack. This was the most stable night for the Han army in the past few days.
However, the Fu Han army was stable, but the Qing army was in chaos. I don't know what's going on, but suddenly some soldiers start to run away.
This sprout was revealed at the right point from the time of the child, to the beginning of the day, and the development reached the peak. In just one or two hours, the tide of deserters has risen, and this is by no means for no reason. The Fu Han army beat Xuzhou out of the dog's brain early, and there were rumors last night that the town mark of Li and Feng and the governor of the governor were all hit hard, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The tense military spirit of the Qing army was completely destroyed! More than 20 scouts are more than 20 flames, they fan the flames, spread rumors, and frequently 'take the lead' to explore the way when leading deserters out of the city.
If the Qing soldiers were calm, it might not be that no one would see what was wrong. How could there be such a noble person in the Qing army, he finally got out, and instead of slapping his ass and running for his life, he sneaked back to show them the way......
But when people panic, many traces will be ignored by them. In other words, after falling into a deep well, people always look forward to the appearance of 'good people' in their hearts.
Now it's getting light. Li Shiyao listened numbly to the news reported from everywhere, and there were battalion-level teams in Xuzhou City who fled one by one, what a tragic word! "What kind of stupid people are those people's heads......" Li Shiyao didn't bother to scold these people anymore, should the pig's brain think that the defense line of the Fu Han Army would have such a low-level mistake as a defensive hole? To compare these people to pigs is really an insult to pigs.
Last night's combat power Li Xingyuan lost two fingers, fortunately both of them were left-handed. Feng Shan was seriously injured and unconscious, and was blown up by a cannonball, half of his face was torn, and his head was like a blood gourd. Whether he will finally wake up or not, no one can say.
Of the four battalion officers in Li Shiyao's supervision, one guerrilla and one staff general was killed, and one staff general was seriously wounded. When the four battalions left Huai'an, half of the entire 3,000-strong force was now gone, and they completely lost the ability to continue fighting.
Coupled with the supervision of Fengshan and Li Xingyuan, the most elite 6,000 people in the entire Qing army in northern Jiangsu can't get together now.
Li Shuyao could feel that the offensive strength of the Fu Han army yesterday was much stronger than before, and yesterday day and night, the 6,000 elite soldiers under his command who relied on the Great Wall were in an uproar, and there was a ghost last night, and in one night, to be precise, half a night, the team in the city was reduced by 5,000 people. If the Fu Han army comes out with such an offensive of this strength today......
Li Shiyao suddenly rubbed his neck with his hand, "Great head, big head...... "Hahaha, hahaha......" There was a burst of desperate laughter from his mouth, and he also laughed to the extreme. He doesn't worry about himself, and he doesn't worry about Da Qingguo anymore, Li Shiyao at this time is only worried about his family in Beijing.
If you die, what can your family do? They are the bannermen of the Han army, and they do not bind their feet. People are also pampered, not at all like the big-footed mother-in-law of the poor people, that is, they fled into the people, how can they not miss traces after a long time?
At this moment, Li Shuyao, the chief general of the Qing army in Xuzhou, was also defeated. Then the fall of Xuzhou City became logical.
The attacking troops of the three regiments launched an attack from three sides at the same time, and at the beginning of the hour, that is, at nine o'clock, they officially launched an attack on Xuzhou City, attacking from three sides.
If you want to say that the previous Fu Han Army was an open palm, then the current Fu Han Army is a five-finger clasped claw!
Xuzhou City, the fruit that was tightly held in the palm of Chen Ming's hand, relied on the soft shell at the beginning, and it could resist for a while. And now the soft shell of the fruit has been poked by Chen Ming, and when his 'five fingers' are buckled inside, the immediately bright red flesh turns into plasma and flows out without hesitation.
Li Xingyuan died, Fengshan died in a coma, and Li Shiyao also died.
The whole battle lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set in the west, and not a single gunshot could be heard in the city of Xuzhou.
At this time, the footsteps of the Henan Qing army who came in from Dangshan had just walked to Xizhendian, and Xuzhou still had sixty or seventy miles, that is, two days away. The southeast position in front of them was Xiao County, where a battalion of the Fu Han Army was stationed.
Ah Gui, who had already dispatched cavalry to guard Xiao County, suddenly ordered the whole army to retreat the next day, and just when the first and second monks in the army were confused, a news came out, and then it was quickly confirmed to be true - Xuzhou had fallen.
The 30,000 Qing troops under Li Shuyao were either captured or annihilated, which was considered to be the annihilation of the entire army.
Without the 'internal response' of the Qing army in northern Jiangsu who had been fighting with the Fu Han army in Xuzhou City for more than ten days, although Ah Gui brought a lot of teams this time, he did not have the confidence to fight against the three brigades of the Fu Han army under Chen Ming.
"The Fourth Brigade stayed in Xuzhou, looking for an opportunity to go west, and connect with Chenzhou. The 20th Brigade and the Guards Brigade followed me back to Jining. In Xuzhou City, Chen Ming, who learned that Ah Gui led the troops and suddenly shrank back, finally couldn't delay any longer and didn't want to relieve Ning. Even if he thinks about the Kong family in his heart, he must do a comprehensive job in terms of face.
In the battle of Xuzhou, 20,000 prisoners were captured and all stayed in Xuzhou, and there were many artillery, so I didn't think that my rescue would really fight.
It's a parade.
The Fu Han army went north, and the Qing army retreated west. Of course, Chen Ming wanted to be more aggressive, and his troops went along the west bank of the canal towards Jining, and when the Qing army retreated from Jining was afraid that they would not even be able to stay in Jining Prefecture.
Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake, and Nanyang Lake. From Jining to Xuzhou canal, all of them are lakes. When Chen Ming led the team to Nanyang Town, where Nanyang Lake and Dushan Lake meet, the siege of Jining was lifted. The Qing army that retreated west from Jining across the canal really didn't even dare to stay in the subordinate counties of Jining Prefecture. retreated to the easternmost county seat of Caozhou Mansion - Juye!
There is still a battle for Jinan left in the entire battlefield, and it is not over. Nanjing's 'arrangement' for Anhui also formed a preliminary agreement, which was passed to Chen Ming's hands by the fast horse flying pigeon.
Don't fight!
But support the twist - take refuge in the twist of the Han army, and let the twist go south to attack Luzhou. After the Fu Han army took Jinan, it consolidated and cleared the territory of Shandong, rested the troops, and waited for the next year's big war.
Chen Ming quickly replied to Nanjing and agreed with this decision. Just as Chen Cong persuaded Chen Hui, the danger of the river embankment + Huanghuai also persuaded Chen Ming. The coming year is the highlight, and he doesn't want to make any extraneous complications. All Qing prisoners of war captured in the Battle of Xuzhou were distributed along the Yellow River and canals to build dikes and dredge rivers. (To be continued.) )
