Chapter 362: Friction Outside the City
Luo Yang didn't know what the Manchu Qing Dynasty's defense capacity of Beijing was, but he could send troops to test it.
"Well, you, you, and you, you immediately attack the city of Beijing, pay attention, it's best to get in."
An infantry battalion wanted to test the reality of the Qing army, of course, it was a little whimsical, so Luo Yang would not do this job himself, so he sent officers and soldiers to attack, and he guarded both sides of the official road in the northeast of Beijing, waiting for news.
Soon, Ren Huabang's cavalry of 5,000 people rushed here and became a solid pillar.
Relying solely on cavalry assault, may not be able to take down the city of Beijing, you know, before, when the Twist army was at its most prosperous, there were 200,000 cavalry, and it was still not the opponent of the Qing army.
After waiting for most of the day, the fleeing crowd on the road was driven back to Beijing, and by the way, some wealth was robbed, and the banner was the punishment of the imperial court.
Finally, news came from the front, an infantry battalion that infiltrated and reconnoitred failed, sacrificed a hundred and ten people, and actually did not deceive into the city, and the battalion commander was so guilty that he died,
"Don't be afraid, we're going to get revenge." Luo Yang was annoyed, and immediately sorted out the whole army, almost 10,000 troops, cavalry, infantry and artillery coalition army, mighty and mighty, to the northeast of Beijing City, killed,
How many gates there are in Beijing City, in which direction, how many people defend or what, Luo Yang doesn't know anything, but just find the swarming crowd of refugees and set off in the opposite direction.
"Go back, go back, go back immediately." In front, the Chinese troops who played the role of the Qing army or the Great Internal Forbidden Army drove the people and returned immediately.
These people, all of whom are either rich or noble, brought a lot of family and property, and also knew that someone intercepted them, and also knew that just in the south of the city, there was an exchange of fire, and bandits pretending to be Qing soldiers attacked near the city gate, first very quickly killed into the city gate, and then, by the Qing army near the city gate with foreign artillery bombardment, as soon as the cannon sounded, the rich and noble people in the city could no longer hold back, and fled desperately outside.
This is the tide of the Qiantang River, you can't stop it,
Huaxia Tian** is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but, in the face of these people, what kind of benevolence and righteousness are still being talked about, Luo Yang gave an order: "Greet me, all of them have been arrested, men are arrested by Lao Tzu, women are kept by Lao Tzu, and gold and silver property are used as military expenses." β
Maybe it's the narrow-minded underlying psychological effect, jealousy, anyway, the policy introduced by Luo Yang at this time was quite radical, and as a result, all the Chinese officers and soldiers were taken aback, and then, they were ecstatic,
"King Rui asked us to grab something."
"Also, robbing the beauty."
"That's not a robber, if you don't rob, you won't rob it."
Huaxia Tian** attacked it and robbed thousands of fleeing people.
Luo Yang was bored, and randomly arrested the arrested people for interrogation, and when he asked, they were all from the officials' families, relatives, or the rich or something, anyway, the poor people, ordinary well-off people, no one was willing to flee from their hometowns,
"Hmph, it's not a good thing, come and tie me up, tie it up in a bunch."
Of course, there are more subordinates here, the families of the rich and noble, the servants, the housekeepers, the tents, etc., and there are many bodyguards, in the face of the robbery of the troops, these family bodyguards are also very powerful, directly pick up the knife and gun and fight, but, how can the Huaxia army be what you dare to challenge, immediately picked up the rifle, aimed at their chest: "Okay, you cut, you cut, whatever you cut, in the end, you cut fast or I can hold the gun fast." β
Only a few family members resisted, and the bodyguards attacked secretly, but they were quickly subdued by the Huaxia army.
Oh, there are so many beautiful girls and daughters-in-law,
Luo Yang was overjoyed, in the past, in modern society, no matter how easy it was to look at other people's daughters, sorry, they have their own, other people's daughters-in-law, around the summer, they were all dressed so thinly exposed, he was embarrassed to look at it, now, it is also a hot day, a woman from a rich and noble family in the Manchu Dynasty, hehehe, hey, hey,
In fact, many women are the concubines of rich people and officials, some are not one, but several, I rely on, one is more handsome than the other,
"Be kind to those women, pay attention, we are not bandits, these women, if they are legitimate, it is fine, otherwise, we will not accept them, and then send them to our officers and soldiers as wives."
The failure of the infantry battalion's attack on the capital made Luo Yang anxious, and in order to motivate the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, he temporarily introduced a lot of policies, such as women and monetary rewards,
"After the city is broken, as long as the Qing court is completely annihilated, then I will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver and one beautiful woman per person."
As soon as Luo Yang's words landed, they immediately caused an uproar, all the fleeing officials and rich people present had their faces as white as paper, and the Chinese officers and soldiers were shouting a tsunami,
The fleeing guy noticed that he had taken the initiative to fall into the trap of the Huaxia bandit army.
The guys who were blocked, that regretted it, almost regretted the intestines, but only the hands were tied,
The morale of the Chinese army was greatly boosted, and they immediately rushed to the outside of the Beijing city gate, in the northeast corner, and met the rescue troops of the Qing army, because the Qing army had found that something was wrong, and some of the fleeing people who were intercepted had turned back to the city, crying for help, and the sound of gunfire came, so a cavalry of hundreds of people of the Qing army hurried over,
"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" The Qing army, which thought it was an official army, was very arrogant, thinking that it was the troublemaker of some ruffians and hooligans, so they rushed up violently.
The strikers of the Huaxia army were overjoyed, wasn't this the goods sent to the door to be slaughtered, not to say a word, pretending to be very stupid and naΓ―ve, and when they arrived, they suddenly attacked, and it was a rifle hit, and a grenade exploded, and the fierce firepower made people dizzy,
The Qing army was defeated, hundreds of dead and wounded, and fled in disarray.
"Chase, chase." The cavalry of the Huaxia army immediately followed, the speed was extremely fast, and they rushed forward with the others, if it weren't for the ruthlessness of the Qing army's city defenders, they directly stuck the city gate, maybe they would have mixed into the city,
"Hit, hit, hit." The Qing officers and soldiers in the city had already discovered that something was wrong, and after closing the city gate to death, they immediately greeted them with knives, guns, and sticks, especially the kind of bombs, weapons imported from Britain and other places, thrown downward, and all kinds of foreign cannons, and the firepower was also quite fierce, and they turned around and aimed at the cavalry of the Huaxia Army, but they could roar vigorously.
When the Chinese cavalry saw that the sneak attack could not be achieved again, they could only turn around and flee.
Pity is the Qing army's troops outside the city, several officers and soldiers were stuck in the cracks of the city gate, directly squeezed into flats, people have not lost their breath, and they screamed in the crack of the door: "Help, help." β
Before the defeat and retreat, the cavalry of the Huaxia army also attacked the troops under the city in annoyance, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses, because their weapons were very simple, and they were able to escape back to the city, or those who were alive outside the city, but only two or three percent,
