Chapter 374: The Last Battle
100,000 Chinese troops gathered in Beijing, making this former Manchu Qing Dynasty's first political city suddenly the location of the essence of Huaxia Tian**,
The streets are full of the banner of the Chinese army, the army with strict military discipline, has been warmly welcomed by the people, whether it is the street or the patrol alley, the image of the mighty division of the Chinese army, the image of the civilized division is penetrating into the minds of the people,
The Huaxia Army posted proclamations inside and outside Beijing to announce its discipline, and also sent a large number of personnel to publicize the goals, ideals, and military might of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom to the people, and carried out a huge public relations operation.
"Ah, Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, ha, Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, okay." When the common people were in the city, they could see these soldiers, lined up in neat queues, on duty at night, and after dawn, they slept neatly in the streets, but they did not disturb any of the houses of the people, even if they were idle.
More Huaxia troops, stationed at various key points in the city, implemented temporary martial law operations, but when it was necessary for the passing people to be checked, it was like going home, "Fellow countryman, what are you doing?" ”
"Ah, Master Jun, we're going to the front." While speaking, he trembled, and his heart was cold, who is not afraid of Qiu Babing,
"Where to go and why." A few Chinese officers and soldiers holding sabers and majestic manners had an unusually gentle attitude and a lovely smile, as if they were relatives or something.
This is Luo Yang's education, the military discipline requirements of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself are quite good, coupled with his understanding and knowledge application during the People's Liberation War, so a people's army was born decades ahead of schedule.
Everyone liked the people, naturally, and also opened their hearts to the Huaxia Army, those Manchu officials who did not escape, where all the official institutions of the Qing court were located, as for the warehouses and whatnot, were enthusiastically reported to the Huaxia Army, and everyone also actively assisted the troops to maintain order in the capital,
Zunhua is still fighting, but the Qing army has fallen into a heavy siege and is about to be destroyed.
Luo Yang heard the news that Prince Gong, the most capable prince of the Qing Empire, was in Zunhua, and immediately led a cavalry regiment, an artillery brigade and an infantry brigade to rush to reinforcements.
The Huaxia Army also sent a large number of officers and soldiers to shout loudly to the Qing army around Zunhua City: "Your emperor has been captured alive by us, what kind of battle are you still fighting?" ”
"Hey, your queen mother has surrendered, so surrender quickly."
"We, the Huaxia Legion, treat all prisoners of war preferentially, as long as they are willing to surrender, they are our own people."
"Whoever does not surrender, we will resolutely destroy the light."
"Hey, Qing army brothers, don't be stupid anymore, we have three hundred cannons, even if we bombard one cannon at a time, we can also smash you."
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Prince Gong was quite tough, refused to surrender, and tore the content of the so-called Empress Dowager of the West, the emperor's edict on the spot, and also pinched the ears of the military envoys of the Huaxia Army to express their anger at the persuasion to surrender.
Huaxia Jun was completely furious,
Luo Yang saw the embarrassed and distressed appearance of the military envoy, he was furious and immediately ordered an attack.
The artillery brigade of the Huaxia Army transferred more than 30 foreign cannons and more than 70 flying thunder cannons to a suitable position, first bombarding with foreign artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, and then using flying thunder artillery to advance and shoot at close range.
The foreign artillery of the Qing army, in the process of going north, was attacked by the cavalry of the Huaxia army, and when it returned to the south, most of it was discarded, so the firepower was much weaker, and it was not the opponent of the Huaxia army at all.
As soon as the flying thunder cannon of the Huaxia Army approached the vicinity of the Zunhua city wall, the Huaxia officers and soldiers in the distance cheered: "We have won." ”
It's too familiar with the scene,
The Qing army resisted desperately, because the Qing army here was all Eight Banner troops, and the Qing army that could follow here had undergone a certain amount of training and had a certain combat power, and even, many people had participated in the battle against the Southern Taiping Army and the Central Plains Twist Army, and their hands were stained with the enemy's blood, so they felt that there was no way out of surrender.
Prince Gong led dozens of Manchurian magnates to personally resist the Huaxia army near the most dangerous north gate of the city, and seeing that the artillery fire of the Huaxia army was too fierce, he also rationally ordered the troops to retreat,
The infantry of the Huaxia army rushed into the city and engaged the Qing army in hand-to-hand combat.
The Qing army counterattacked, and the Huaxia army fought for every inch of the street, near the city gate, the Qing army's foreign guns, shot a barrage of products to put the Huaxia dialect down,
When the infantry of the Huaxia Army began, the losses were quite serious,
The Qing army understood that this was the last moment, and the Huaxia army understood that this was almost the last battle against the Manchus, so the battle was fierce and very rare.
The bravery of the Qing officers and soldiers can be compared to the Hunan army in the south.
The follow-up Huaxia Army quickly entered the city, especially the rapid progress of artillery, which became a strong support for the infantry,
In the confrontation of infantry, the Huaxia army did not have an advantage, because the Qing army also had many bombs and other items imported from abroad, and there were quite a lot of foreign guns.
After Luo Yang entered the city, he found that there were corpses everywhere on the ground, not only a large number of Qing soldiers, but also many Huaxia soldiers.
The attack was temporarily stopped, and several captured Qing soldiers were summoned, and they were instructed to persuade the Qing commander to surrender again.
The time for the battle to stop was only a quarter of an hour, because the commander of the Qing army, Prince Gong, decisively chopped several prisoners to death with a saber, declaring Luo Yang's goodwill, and received no response.
During this period, the artillery units of the Huaxia Army took positive steps, dozens of cannons, aimed at the enemy, and the shells of the Qing army were finally exhausted.
The cannons of the Huaxia army let out a heinous roar, and the sound of those flying thunder cannons was indeed like thunder.
The soldiers in front of the Qing army, although the copper wall was as tight as the iron wall, was suddenly blown to pieces.
The Qing army was extremely brave, going forward and successively, not afraid of any bombardment at all, after many people were injured, they got up and continued to charge, wanting to step forward and take the artillery of the Huaxia army into their hands.
Seeing that the enemy's artillery fire was so intensive, Prince Gong desperately ordered everyone to charge, and then, himself, the night shift personally brandished his saber and rushed forward, it was a terrible battle, the Qing army marched to the artillery minefield with flesh and blood, and as a result, they were shot one after another and were blown into ruins,
The Huaxia army, under the command of Luo Yang, once again halted the attack and persuaded the remnants of the Qing army to surrender, but the Qing army had already killed the red eyes, and when they saw that the artillery stopped, they actually killed the whole line.
These heroic soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, with their bright and dazzling blood, wrote a glorious side to the final end of the Manchu Empire, and not as shameless and despicable as in history,
The Huaxia army has been bombarding non-stop, and the battalions cooperated, advancing while bombarding, flattening the Qing army along the way.
On the position of the Qing army, there was no living figure in the end, and in the end, people with vitality also cut their throats with knives, expressing their ideology of not sharing the sky with the new regime.
The Huaxia army quickly occupied Zunhua City, and then, posting notices to appease the people, also began to clean up the battlefield and clean up the corpses.
At this time, the Huaxia army found that the Qing army was far from being as heroic as it seemed, because the 7,000 Qing troops, more than 2,000 people, were not on the battlefield, but in the homes of the common people, and many people were under the beds of others.
Prince Gong was stubborn and committed suicide after being seriously injured.
