Chapter 517: Target Jinan
Looking back, let's talk about Zhang Zongyu, the cavalry of Baoding Town was shot indiscriminately, and the Twist Army was beaten in embarrassment, not only was it able to keep the Mongolian cavalry annihilated, but also suffered heavy casualties by others, just one night, the Twist Army suffered more than 3,000 casualties!
Zhang Zongyu was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and at the same time he was beaten to his senses, there was no musket, and now the Twist Army lacked muskets, not to mention muskets, not even bird guns, there were not many guns, such a cavalry, it was too difficult to directly confront that cavalry!
Zhang Zongyu had to stay in Hengshui Mansion for two days, replenish grain and grass, wait for the arrival of the main force behind, and discuss countermeasures.
On the fourth day, Zhang Luoxing led the main force of the Twist Army and finally arrived in Hengshui.
Zhang Luoxing asked, "Zong Yu, how is the situation?" How did you stay in Hengshui? ”
Zhang Zongyu said in a sullen voice: "Big brother, don't mention it, seeing that the ducks at that time actually flew, we have surrounded the Mongolian cavalry, and one day we will be able to wipe it all out in Hengshui, I didn't expect to kill a Cheng biting gold halfway, I don't know where a cavalry came from, brave and good at fighting, more powerful than the Mongolian cavalry, and at the same time equipped with a large number of muskets, we were caught off guard, and they were embarrassed, three or four thousand Mongolian cavalry all broke through, and now I am afraid that it has already arrived in Baoding Mansion, It's really embarrassing......"
Cavalry armed with muskets?
Zhang Luoxing's face changed, and he muttered: "If my guess is right, it should be the elite of Baoding Town left by Guo Ye, except for the elite of Baoding Town in the north, there is no such a strong army......"
Zhang Zongyu was puzzled: "Big brother, is that Guo Ye really so powerful?" ”
Zhang Luoxing shook his head and replied: "Of course, if you can defeat Tsarist Russia outside the Guan, and you can resist the British and French forces in Tongzhou, those foreign devils will not fall behind, if such people are not powerful, then where are there powerful people?" The elite of Baoding Town is definitely the first male division of the Qing Dynasty worthy of the name, but unfortunately, what is this Guo Ye doing badly, he has to be a dog leg for the imperial court, alas......"
Zhang Zongyu said hatefully: "I don't care if he is elite or not, how many people can there be in a Baoding Town?" Even if we fill it with our lives, we can also defeat Baoding Town! ”
Although what Zhang Zongyu said was a little cruel, however, Zhang Luoxing thought that there was still a certain amount of truth, a general would succeed in ten thousand bones, and if he wanted to be immortal on the battlefield, it was impossible, Baoding Town was strong again, and the strength was limited after all, even if the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry were defeated, it is estimated that there are only more than 7,000 people, or even less, just such a small number of troops, it is absolutely impossible to compete with tens of thousands of twisted troops!
Zhang Luoxing said in a deep voice: "Then don't wait, immediately advance quickly to Baoding Town, don't leave them time to prepare for war, your troops have lost a lot, I am transferring 10,000 troops to you, and quickly advance towards Baoding Mansion, I will take Dezhou first in the back, where is the important town of Shandong, there are a lot of food, money, and even ammunition, occupy Dezhou, we will have a stable rear, when the time comes, even if we can't take Baoding Mansion for a while, we don't have to worry about the grain and grass in the rear ......can't keep up."
Zhang Zongyu nodded and asked, "What is the situation with King Zun now?" ”
Zhang Luoxing replied: "There is no situation where King Zun arrives, it's just that now the troops of the three towns of Shandong are rushing to the south of the Yangtze River, and the troops have entered the south of Jiangsu, and they are about to confront the Yiwang, and the three towns of Shandong have been reorganized by that Guo Ye, and they are equipped with a large number of foreign guns and cannons, and their combat power is strong, so I am afraid that the pressure on the Yiwang will increase ......greatly."
Zhang Zongyu said hatefully: "Damn, this Guo Ye will not stop when he goes to the United States, so that Shandong will not dare to tos......s it at all."
Suddenly, Zhang Zongyu's eyes lit up and asked: "Big brother, I heard that Guo Ye saw an arsenal in Jinan, Shandong, and now he has started to produce foreign guns and cannons, you say, if we send a cavalry to attack Jinan and rob their arsenal now, what about it?" ”
Zhang Luoxing's heart moved, obviously Zhang Zongyu's plan moved him, if his twisted army was equipped with foreign guns and foreign cannons at this time, the combat power would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes, who would be afraid of the elite firearms in Baoding Town? If it really succeeds, the capture of Texas will be much more useful!
"Yes, brother, that's a good idea, haha, that's it! First robbed their arsenal and then said, now Zuo Guigui led the three towns of Shandong to send troops to Jiangsu, Shandong's defense is empty, it is the best time for us to sneak attack, ******, some time ago, Shandong made a fuss, saying that it was 20,000 twisted troops into Shandong, and Shandong made a big mess, I don't know that the bastard did it, a shit basin was buckled on the head of our brothers, this time, we will really kill Jinan, and the whole Shandong will be in trouble! ”
Zhang Zongyu nodded, and then said: "Also, big brother, now Jinan is so rich, the whole Shandong is now as rich as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, since we have gone, we will do a big job, and completely solve our worries!" Let's sack the whole of Shandong to him! And I suggest you bring more troops with you, otherwise, you won't be able to get those spoils back, haha......"
The two of them were excited about their good idea of getting along, and if Shandong was really swept away, then they would really not have to worry about eating and drinking, and tens of thousands of twisted troops would no longer have to worry about military salaries.
Zhang Zongyu led 30,000 troops from Hengshui to the north and went straight to Baoding, while Zhang Luoxing led 8,000 troops and went straight to Jinan.
Zhang Zongyu led the main elite of the twisted army this time, even more arrogant, 30,000 troops, the total strength is at least four times that of Baoding Town and the remnants of the Mongolian army, such a strong force, can not conquer Baoding Town? You know, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Anyang, but it didn't take much effort, they were taken down, there were tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry at that time, and they still couldn't resist, this time, it was inevitable to take Baoding Mansion!
Wang Huanzhang, who was far away in Baoding, was rewarded by the cavalry early in the morning, and Zhang Zongyu led the main force of the Twist Army to the north again, wanting to take Baoding Mansion in one fell swoop, so as to open the south gate of Beijing!
Wang Huanzhang looked at He Qimou and the others, and sneered: "See, this kid really dares to come, 30,000 people, hehe, let's really send these 30,000 people to the west sky!" Teng Jiao, the order, ordered the generals of the battalions to discuss the affairs of the yamen, the brothers have not moved their legs and feet for a long time, this time we have to move our muscles and bones, and open the meat! ”
