Chapter 373 Let Liu Mazi go to Baoding

"Haha, look where that dog official is running. Hey! King Wei, look, those are Jianghuai's doglegs, there are so many people! Niu Hongsheng saw a large number of Huai troops in front of him, and suddenly said, but he was blinded by Li Yuntai and reminded the strong bull:

"Deputy Commander Niu remembers, now I am Commander Li, and we are now the New People's Army."

After speaking, Li Yun Taylor Ma stopped his subordinates, seeing that he was about to capture Tang Dingkui, he didn't expect that there would be so many Huai troops here.

"Look at that banner is passed on by Liu Ming! Lao Li, did you say that we have hit the luck again this time! Niu Hongsheng urged the horse to see a little, took out the binoculars to see clearly, laughed, and his heart began to itch, Li Yuntai and the people behind him also began to blush, and they were in high spirits.

Chasing and chasing, I didn't expect to catch a big fish.

"Hmmm! It is very likely that Liu Mingchuan is here, it seems that the 12th Regiment of the 12th Division is very powerful! It is estimated that Zhengding has already broken, and Liu Mingchuan has already started to run away, almost letting him slip away. Li Yuntai finally showed a smile, summoned a few of his subordinates, and asked them to hurry to Shenze County to report the news.

"So we have work to do again, it's still the old rules, the previous way of playing, we are divided into two parts." Niu Hongsheng couldn't wait, Li Yuntai nodded and said: "Okay, you can, but don't get too close, although we are cavalry, equipped with horse rifles, this time is different from the past, but many of the Huai army in their hands are also breech guns, and it is easy to suffer losses when attacking hard." ”

This cavalry regiment was originally about 1,000 people, two battalions, and once separated, the strength was even thinner, but it was cavalry, and it still looked quite spectacular and imposing.

One of the two was in the east and the other was in the west, snoring and shirring, rushing up from time to time to put a few shots, and the posture of wanting to take a bite also made the Huai soldiers uneasy.

However, Liu Mingchuan had a large number of people, and he divided part of the defense, which did not allow the two to take advantage of the loopholes.

Of course, this also brought a crisis to Liu Mingchuan, hindering the speed of crossing the river, and at the same time making him have to consider how many people should be left to confront the cavalry of the New People's Army in Ziwei Town.

It's like cutting meat, which makes him very reluctant.

Changping Prefecture is in the northwest of Beijing City, known as "the royal family of Mill, the land of the obscurity", known as the "pillow of the Beijing Division". To the north, there are large areas of the Great Wall and Juyong Pass, Longhu Terrace and other dangerous passes.

It is the main road that Beijing can go to Xuanhua Prefecture and the Mongolian domain, and cutting off here can cut the shortest shortcut route from the Mongolian steppe to Beijing.

In the northwest of Changping Prefecture, there are not only the Great Wall and dangerous passes, but also a large area of Weiwei mountains and dense forests from the Yanshan Mountains, among which the Jundu Mountain is even more steep and majestic.

After Yang Dongfang appeared briefly in Beijing City, he went to Changping, and walked around the military capital, and finally chose a good location as a good address for the Fourth Space Gate.

Only then did he spend one million prestige points to set up a space gate, and as soon as the gate was built, he immediately transferred Cai Zhi, who was stationed in southern Sichuan, and the fifth division under his deployment.

Cai Zhi was already an old subordinate, conscientious and conscientious, and Yang Dongfang transferred him to the north.

"Dashuai, this is Beijing, and this is the north?" Cai Zhi was not exempt from vulgarity, looking at the surrounding mountains and began to compare with the Iron Mountain, to see how the mountains in the north were different from the mountains in the south.

Of course, it is more about the yearning for Beijing, after all, this is the capital, and people are always curious.

"Don't look at it, at the foot of the mountain is Changping Prefecture City, and there are still eighty miles from Changping to Beijing City! There is an opportunity for you to go and see the excitement. Yang Dongfang interrupted his gaze and continued:

"At present, you must first take control of the mouth of the Great Wall, control the passes in and out, and guard Changping City to ensure that the follow-up troops continue to come."

"Yes! Be sure to complete the mission! Cai Zhi turned around to study the map, formulated a strategy, called the various regiment commanders over, and began to assign tasks, how to seize the city, how to seize the pass.

These Yang Dongfang didn't interfere, let the generals under him do it themselves, after all, now is the time to train them, if he lets himself do everything, he will not be tired to death in the future, he has to run big and small battles, he has to do it himself, and he will be a fart boss.

The passages have been set up for them, and if the battle is still messy, then they can be laid off and replaced.

Soon the 50th Regiment of the 5th Division went to seize Juyong Pass and seize control of the Badaling Great Wall, Cai Zhi took the 5th and 52nd regiments to attack Changping, and the 51st Regiment guarded the gate of space.

Yang Dongfang followed the 5th Regiment to Juyongguan and other places, with the purpose of dropping cannons and avoiding the trouble of transportation.

"Hmmm! The 12th Division has made a big move, and Hu Gan is ready to eat Liu Mingchuan, "Looking at the news from the direction of Shijiazhuang, Yang Dongfang knew that Zhengding County had been torn apart by the 12th Division, and he praised his courage a little.

At the same time, he was quite satisfied with the battle situation, killed Tang Diankui, captured Nie Shicheng, and eliminated half of Liu Mingchuan's military strength, and began to break through the pursuit in an all-round way.

However, Yang Dongfang thought about it and wrote it down.

Do not take the enemy lightly, pursue steadily, mainly consume Liu's soldiers, focus on clearing the place, give Baoding to Liu Mazi, and stop at Longquan River and Tang River and other places.

It means that you can let Liu Ming pass on the commander of the light pole to go back, and Baoding will not enter, and let the Manchu Qing divide the troops to defend, and it is best to let the British and French armies be transferred to Baoding.

Subsequently, an order was also issued to the 13th Brigade, stopping at the front line between Cangzhou and Hejian, first clearing the rear, launching an agrarian revolutionary war, and expanding the local security regiment.

The troops guarding Juyong Pass are the old banner battalions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with five scum in combat effectiveness, and the eyes of the garrison are all on Xuanhua in the outer pass, only paying attention to the situation in the north.

When the New People's Army arrived, when the city was suddenly attacked, it was defeated without even having time to pass the city gate, and then the New People's Army occupied the pass, closed the gate, re-installed the Western cannon, and threw the old general cannon directly into the warehouse.

The situation in Changping Prefecture is similar, there are not many flag soldiers here, and the New People's Army casually mixed into the city, and then seized the city gate with a pistol team, and most of them entered the city smoothly, and captured all the officials who were still carrying the cage beans.

After all, no one would have thought that the New People's Army would appear here, and it was a steady stream of marches into the city, and the news was tightly blocked, and the direction of Beijing City did not know that the satellite city had been lost, and it was not until a few days later that it did not feel inappropriate to receive the news that it was sent into the customs from the direction of Zhangjiakou.

However, it was too late by then, because most of the New People's Army had infiltrated the city of Beijing and the surrounding areas, completely controlling the capital.

did not stay long in Juyongguan, Yang Dongfang returned to Beijing again, and was listening to Dong Haichuan's investigation of the situation in Tianjin: "Dashuai! According to our reconnaissance, there were no less than 20,000 people, and more than 200 cannons were pushed ashore alone. ”

"Throw down the army and run away, could it be that those warships were really led to the Shandong Peninsula, only more than 20,000 land forces, and the command of Britain and France does not play cards according to the routine." The direction of the Shandong Peninsula did not lure many British and French troops over, which Yang Dongfang was not satisfied with, which would expand the war in Jinjing and other places.

After all, he wanted to retain the prosperity of Beijing and Tianjin, but he didn't want to fight a war and turn into ruins.

Dong Haichuan didn't know Yang Dongfang's scruples and only said: "It may be that foreigners also think that Beijing and Tianjin are more important, after all, Beijing and Tianjin have their concessions, and these foreign devils are very horizontal in it, plus they haven't received the news that the Tartar Emperor went to Shanhaiguan!" ”

"Hmmm! Perhaps! Yang Dongfang replied, and also thought about it, after all, the value of the Shandong Peninsula has not been reflected now, the military port has not been developed, and it is natural that Western countries are not interested in it.

Moreover, it was easier for them to control the Manchus in Beijing and Tianjin, which was what they considered the most, so it was no wonder that they would devote two-thirds of their troops here.
