Chapter 372: The cavalry is killed

Then the water level in the center of the river was quietly high, and then a boat was pulled over, and the bamboo raft was set up in the middle???.

"My lord! The New People's Army is building a pontoon bridge! ”

"Pull up the earthen artillery for me, shoot them out, let the musketeers rush to the position, the artillery of the new people's army has stopped, and they are going to attack the position."

The earthen cannon was loaded with sand, gravel and broken iron, and this cannon went down, and did not hit anyone, but injured several Xinmin Army engineers who supported the bridge, and seeing that the ship was about to capsize, several soldiers immediately jumped over to fill the position, and the others continued to build the bridge.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and everyone cooperated with each other, and soon a pontoon bridge was erected, and a large number of new people's troops were transported across the river.

"My lord, we can't suppress the New People's Army, they have set up the pontoon bridge."

More and more New People's troops crossed the river, and with artillery support, Nie Shicheng's troops gradually lost their support and retreated from their positions.

Don't blame him, Liu Mingchuan didn't leave him many musketeers, it seemed that there were six or seven thousand people guarding the river, but in fact, most of them were sword and shield soldiers, and they were all militias from various state capitals, and there were some newly recruited recruits.

The elites were all taken by Liu Mingchuan's side.

Nie Shicheng had no choice but to retreat to Zhengding County, but he was strongly persuaded by his generals to return to the county seat at this time, undoubtedly looking for death, or it was the best policy to run to Wuji County quickly.

So in the end, Nie Shicheng only gathered more than 1,000 people in Zhengding County, and the rest went to Wuji County, and a small part surrendered on the spot, saying??·

"What? It is not Liu Mingchuan himself who is upright, but his subordinate Nie Shicheng. When the prisoners were interrogated, they learned that their opponent turned out to be Nie Shicheng, not Liu Mingchuan, and the main owner went to Wuji County a day earlier, which made Hu Gan a little dissatisfied.

Especially Nie Shicheng is still resisting in Zhengding County, making a final struggle, wanting to hinder the advance speed of the New People's Army, which is quite annoying.

But it also won a little admiration from him.

After all, after fighting with the Manchu troops for so long, there are not many people who can be so strong, especially when the Manchu Dynasty has gone, and it is really rare to have such a foolish general.

"The 12th Regiment pursued Wuji County, and the Yangquan Security Regiment and the Second Engineer Regiment surrounded Zhengding County for me, so that the artillery brigade could cross the river as soon as possible and blast away Zhengding County, I want to see how long Nie Shicheng can hold out and see what he looks like."

Wuji County wooden knife riverside!

Liu Mingchuan attacked the Zihe River yesterday, and found that although the number of the new people's army on the other side of the river was not large, they were all musketeers, with superb marksmanship, and it was not easy to cross the river, so he had to leave three or five hundred people to set up a ** formation, and he led the army to run downstream overnight.

At this time, the 10,000-strong army was already sleepy and tired, so they rested nearby, and Tang Dingkui, who came early, had already prepared a boat to cross the river.

"The situation of the marshal is not good, I heard that Zhang Yao's guy retreated from Shenzhou to the vicinity of Raoyang, and the New People's Army went to Shenze County next to the Hutuo River, and he is not chasing Zhang Yaonas."

"What? The New People's Army went to Shenze County. Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this, he didn't need to look at the map, he also knew the reason why the New People's Army went to Shenze????. Forty miles downstream of Wuji County is Shenze County.

If the New People's Army occupies Shenze County, the next step is to control the Shuidao River, block the east side of itself, and completely surround itself, then it will be bad, fortunately go fast, and not compete with the New People's Army in Zhengding County and Xinle County.

"Junhou seems to be going to be fortunate to you, you take someone to Shenze County and guard there." Liu Mingchuan ignored the fatigue of Tang Dingkui's department, and asked him to immediately rush to fight with the New People's Army to seize the city, Tang Dingkui hesitated a little, opened his mouth to say something, and then Liu Mingchuan said:

"Don't worry, I know what you want to say, I'll send someone to inform the Zhengding side and the Lingshou side now, and let them retreat to Wuji County."

Hearing this, Tang Dingkui then hugged his fists and knelt down with peace of mind and said, "Thank you for the military gate!" ”

Tang Dingkui rushed to Shenze County non-stop, he knew that whether he could hold this place was related to the safety of his brother and the various departments, so he worked very hard.

It's just that he doesn't know that all this he has done is meaningless, Tang Diankui has not only died in battle, but Zhengding County has also been broken.

When Tang Dingkui arrived in Shenze County, a regiment of the New People's Army had just crossed the Hutuo River, a platoon was searching the streets, and the troops behind were preparing to enter the east gate.

The Huai army entered from the north and engaged in a brief confrontation with a platoon of the New People's Army on the street, resulting in casualties.

Then Tang Dingkui let people control the West Gate, and continued to send troops to attack the New People's Army, trying to recapture the county seat, while the New People's Army took advantage of the geographical conditions on the streets and the Huai Army Zhou Xuan to give up part of the city.

He did not forget to send a battalion to go around the west gate from the south, and another battalion to attack Tang Dingkui from the north of the city.

After half an hour of fighting in the city, the new People's Army suddenly emerged from Xiaozhang Village in the south of the city to cut off the official road to the west of the Huai Army, and Tang Dingkui was shocked for a while, and hurriedly deployed troops to deal with it, recapturing the west traffic artery, he didn't want to lose contact with Liu Mingchuan's headquarters.

What he didn't expect was that there was a battalion of the New People's Army that bypassed the north of the city and tried to surround him, so the army's heart was shaken all of a sudden, and he was caught off guard, and the West Gate was taken away by the New People's Army, and the Huai Army who entered the city suddenly became a turtle in an urn.

Tang Dingkui, who was still fighting for the official road in the west of the city, dared to hesitate after hearing about it, and fled to the southward countryside with the remnants of four or five hundred defeated soldiers.

As soon as Tang Dingkui left, the Huai army in the city suddenly collapsed and surrendered, and the 112th Regiment divided a battalion to cooperate with the cavalry regiment of the 13th Brigade that had just crossed the river to continue to pursue Tang Dingkui, until it reached the bank of the Mudao River, and killed more than 200 Tang Dingkui and captured more than 100 guns.

After that, the cavalry regiment led by Ren Huabang and others crossed the river and attacked alone in the plain between the Dasha River and the Mudao River to find the remnants of Tang Dingkui.

Liu Mingchuan of Wuji County had just sent Tang Dingkui to Shenze County, and then he received the disappearance of Tang Diankui's death, and he chuckled in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good.

immediately urged the generals to cross the river, and at the same time denied the route to Dingzhou and went directly to Anguo County.

Of course, after thinking about it for a while, he did not let Tang Dingkui be informed, but temporarily suppressed the news.

The army had just crossed the Mudao River and was about to march towards the Dasha River, when a messenger chased after the river, and at the same time, the Wuji County Order also brought the whole family and hundreds of thousands of snowflakes and silver to follow.

"Liu Junmen is not good, Zhengding's Hutuo River defense line was torn apart by the New People's Army, Lord Nie was defeated and retreated to Zhengding County, and the main force of the New People's Army came to Wuji County."

A mouthful of stuffy blood spit out, Liu Mingchuan didn't expect Zhengding's side to lose so quickly.

had to leave 1,000 people here to guard the north bank of the river, and also sent 500 people to go downstream with boats, so that people went to inform Tang Dingkui of Shenze and told him to retreat north and cross the river as long as it was dark in Shenze.

So 10,000 people hurried towards Anguo, who knew that in the afternoon, there was the sound of shaking horses' hooves in the distance, and then a few embarrassed figures appeared a mile away.

The sharp-eyed figure shouted, "That doesn't look like Vice General Tang." ”

"Huh! It's really like Vice General Tang, but. . ”

From far and near, everyone finally saw the person clearly, yes, it was Tang Dingkui, and they couldn't help shouting.

Liu Mingchuan also heard the news at this time and rushed over, just as Tang Dingkui fell to his feet with a handful of snot and tears: "Military Gate!" Junmen, I'm ashamed of you, our army was wiped out, and Shenze County was occupied by the New People's Army first. ”

While crying, Tang Dingkui was glad that he didn't expect to meet Liu Mingchuan here, it was really immortal.

"What's the matter with those cavalry!" Liu Mingchuan didn't have the heart to think about the problem of Shenze County, after all, Wuji County had been abandoned, and most of the army had been lost, so he pointed to the fierce horseback and asked.

"Junmen, that's the blind cavalry of the 13th Brigade of the New People's Army, coming from Texas." Tang Dingkui said with some embarrassment, his eyes dodging.

Hearing this, Liu Mingchuan hated to kick Tang Dingkui a few times.

Twist the army! Ren Hua ties! These names suddenly came to mind, can Liu Mingchuan not be angry?

The Huai army and the twist army are a big enemy, and now because of Tang Dingkui, they actually attracted this group of cavalry here, isn't this asking for trouble for themselves, and it is a big trouble, now the army has not crossed the Dasha River, if it is entangled here, the new people's army will follow.
