Da Luo Luo goodbye to the ticket, everyone, do you still have a ticket?

July 20, 1849.

Liaoxi, Ningyuan Prefecture, east bank of the Wuli River.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

On both sides of the Wuli River, there was a huge cheering sound like a tsunami, and the noise was high-pitched, sweeping all the way to the sea along the Liaoxi Corridor!

It was not the Ming army that made this cheer, but their opponents. As reinforcements continued to come from the direction of Shengjing, the originally low morale began to slowly rise. Today, it has risen to a peak. It turned out that the dragon flag, which symbolized the Qing Emperor, had appeared on the east bank of the Wuli River, in the newly erected Qing army camp.

Looking at the Qing troops who were arrayed in the wilderness on the west bank of the Wuli River, Liu Lichuan, who was looking at the battlefield on Longbei Mountain, said: "What's wrong with these flag men? I was still lifeless two days ago, why did I take gunpowder today? ”

When Peng Yulin, the chief soldier of Liaodong Town, heard this, he raised his hand and pointed to the dragon flag fluttering in the wind above the Qing army camp on the other side of the Wuli River, and said with a smile: "See, this is the Yellow Dragon Banner, probably the emperor of the Qing Tartars, right?" ”

"Emperor Qing Tartar? Emperor Daoguang put it back? Liu Lichuan was puzzled.

"It's not Daoguang, it should be Prince Gong who ascended the throne and became the emperor." Peng Yulin was unsure.

During this time, the town of Dongjiang and the navy constantly harassed the coastal areas of eastern Liaodong...... Of course, it's murder and arson! There's nothing to talk about, Zhu Ming's army was originally a reactionary army, what bad things can't be done? And the Northern Qing had little to do about this kind of enemy attacking from the sea, so they had to move the coastal people to the interior for resettlement. lest they be killed or plundered by the Ming army. And in this way. Although Zhu Ming achieved the goal of expelling the Qing Tartars. But it also lost a channel to understand Shengjing's internal situation. In addition, Port Arthur, the only foreign port in the Northern Qing Dynasty, was blockaded by Zhu Ming's navy as early as mid-June, and the embassies of Britain, France and other countries were also withdrawn, and only the Russian embassy was stranded in Lushun.

Therefore, Zhu Ming's grasp of the situation in Shengjing is not very timely, and he does not know that Prince Gong Yixin has hurriedly ascended the throne three days ago, and he has respected Emperor Daoguang as the Emperor Taishang and named the year "Tiande".

"Prince Gong is the emperor?" Liu Lichuan shook his head. "Could it be that the news of Emperor Daoguang's death has arrived in Shengjing?"

Peng Yulin snorted: "It's just that Prince Gong is anxious to think about the emperor's addiction...... But that's fine, maybe we have a chance to catch a Manchu emperor to play tricks. ”

Liu Lichuan nodded: "Yes!" Catch a Qing Tartar emperor! ”

……

"Your Majesty, Zhu Reyi's red-bottomed dragon flag has appeared on Chrysanthemum Island......"

At the same time, in the Qing army camp on the west bank of the Wuli River, Yi Xin, who had just become the emperor of Tiande of the Qing Dynasty, heard the report of Su Shun, the new minister of the guard, and his heart was chuckled. The red bottom group dragon flag is Zhu Jishi's royal flag, and there is only one explanation for this big flag to appear on Chrysanthemum Island, Zhu Jishi has come to Liaoxi to supervise the war!

Emperor Tiande cheered himself up and said, "Zhu Cheng has come to Liaoxi...... Okay, let me fight this traitor in Liaoxi! Then he smiled and said, "Now that we have returned victorious, our morale is high." won another 100,000 Eight Banners North Korea, which can be said to be a strong soldier. It is a good opportunity for a decisive battle. After breaking Zhu Reverse, he will take advantage of the victory to counterattack the attack, recapture Beijing, rescue the emperor Ama, and rejuvenate the Qing Dynasty. ”

After saying this, he politely smiled at Major General Muravyov, the Russian military adviser who was sitting on a Taishi chair: "Mr. Major General, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Guan Yuanbao, who was waiting at Muravyov's side, could speak English, so he acted as an interpreter on the spot, translating the words of Emperor Yixin into English.

Muravyov nodded and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have just observed the position of the Ming army...... They have a very strange position, which I've never seen in Europe. I think I need to test it to understand its characteristics and then decide how to fight. ”

Thanks to Zhu Jishi, a great scientist, a military revolution triggered by new weapons has begun for several years. In the armies of various European countries, there are some young and strong officers with young brains who have raised objections to the traditional "queue to shoot stream".

In fact, it is obvious that the "queue to shoot stream" cannot be played, mainly because the power of the Hodchsky grenade filled with ammonium oil explosives is too great, and the power of this grenade is more than 10 times greater than that of the traditional flowering projectile filled with black powder, and the trajectory is more accurate. If you use the traditional dense formation to fight again, you can't wait for foreign guns to fire at each other, and the infantry on the battlefield will be bombarded into ashes by the opponent's artillery.

Thus, according to the latest military views, artillery became the absolute dominance of the battlefield, and line infantry should be replaced by light infantry, armed with rifles and grenades, attacking in looser formations, or relying on fortifications for defense. However, there is still no consensus on how the fortifications should be repaired, how the artillery should be equipped, how to carry out the skirmish line attack, and how to defend against the impact of the cavalry.

Of course, these views are not now accepted by the mainstream of the armies of various countries, and the armies will never lack old-fashioned stubbornness with conservative ideas. But no matter how old and stubborn they are, they will not turn a blind eye to the powerful new weapons. Therefore, the financial statements of the two arms companies, Jason Churchill and Jason Bethel Mai (Lan Fangxing holds 9 percent of the shares), are extremely good in the past two years. Even the financially struggling Tsarist government squeezed out a lot of gold rubles to purchase a lot of new weapons to equip elite troops. However, how to use these expensive new weapons made the noble officers of Tsarist Russia a little confused.

So Muravyov is now curious to see how Zhu Zishi's own army used his invention to fight?

……

"Hurry up, keep up with ......"

Zhang Wenxiang shouted to his subordinates and walked towards the trench in front. At present, the "squatting pit flow" is only a grass creation, and this "pit" is just a trench that runs straight through, and there are no auxiliary facilities such as traffic trenches, anti-artillery holes, fire strongholds, and so on. The infantry did not squat in the pit all day, but lived in the barracks behind the trenches, and there was a wooden fence around the barracks, which was a bit undecent. Before the trench, it was not a matter of a few thin barbed wires, but a lot of deer and horses were placed to block the attack of the Manchu iron cavalry. Behind the trench were artillery positions, and behind the sandbags were a series of cannons, which were 12-pounder cannons of the first year of the restoration and 12-pounder howitzers of the second year of the liberation.

"Get down to the trenches, take your places, check your guns, bayonets, and grenades, and prepare for battle," Zhang Wenxiang gave another series ......of commands. Now the Ming army doesn't line up and shoot them very much, so the password is not the same as before, and it must conform to the tactics of squatting and pit flow.

Muravyov, who was watching the battle from a makeshift watchtower in the distance, held up his binoculars and muttered as he watched: "How can such a thin line of defense block the attack of cavalry?" Wouldn't it be an unexpected result today? ”

"The time has come to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty! Brothers! The emperor has an order: those who rush into the trench first will be promoted to two levels, and will be rewarded with a Korean coated slave, two hundred silver dollars, and five pieces of cloth! Behead the enemy, and reward ten silver dollars and a piece of cloth! Whoever does not flinch will be beheaded regardless of his position, and the whole family will be enslaved......"

Ma Xinyi, who was ordered to take the lead, was shouting to the soldiers under his command at this time. In fact, they are all empty checks, and Ma Xinyi knows that his return to the Eight Banners is not as good as the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners, and even the Eight Banners of North Korea. Now it's just being used as cannon fodder to test Zhu Ming's defense line, this burst of rushing down, I really don't know how many people in Lu Dao can come back alive?

A large horizontal formation composed of 3,000 infantry finally began to advance forward, still in the traditional dense formation, not even the three columns and four columns of the line infantry, but a rectangular infantry formation, which looked a little loose and saggy. This time, the Eight Banners were not originally connected by Western Law, and it was good to be able to do this.

Several cannons also began to fire without a cannon, the target was the artillery position behind the Ming army's trench, but the Qing artillery team did not have flowering shells, and could only bombard with solid bullets, without any accuracy, purely to give courage to the attacking Hui Eight Banner Infantry Team.
