Chapter Seventy-Four: Target Langfang!
Baoding. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The left and right flank armies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally converged again, and the nearly 100,000 troops were very impressive.
Yue Tuo's defeat, the loss of 10,000 thousands of people in Tianjin, of course Dolgon had heard about it a long time ago, Dolgon was very puzzled, and couldn't understand how the 2,000 Ming army wiped out Yue Tuo's more than 10,000 men and horses.
When asked about this matter, Yue Tuo's face was naturally gloomy, and naturally he would not say it in detail, just a few simple words, which made Dolgon even more determined, if he had the opportunity, he must go to meet this Ming army for a while, could it be that they are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.
Of course, the two of them already knew about the war in Langfang City, and Dolgon saw that Yue Tuo was unwilling to say more about the war in Tianjin Wei, and as soon as the conversation changed, Dolgon said: "Three days ago, tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops began to attack Langfang City fiercely, can Langfang really hold it?" ”
At this point, Yue Tuo was obviously very confident, "Fourteenth uncle, you can rest assured, there is a lot of property in Langfang City, I will definitely not let the Guanning army break through Langfang, when we left Langfang, we left enough arrows, and also left a dozen red-clothed cannons, our eight thousand warriors, even in the face of tens of thousands of Guanning, can at least defend for more than half a month." ”
Dolgon was a little relieved and nodded, "When Lu Xiangsheng is defeated, we will go back to Langfang and kill Guan Ningjun without leaving a single piece of armor." ”
Now, the Manchu and Qing armies have made peace, and Dolgon really has such self-confidence, so he is full of arrogance and is ready to turn back to clean up the Guanning army after solving Lu Xiangsheng.
Yue Tuo said approvingly: "Okay, now that our two armies have converged again, and the Guan Ning army is firmly attracted to the Langfang area, we can defeat Lu Xiangsheng within five days." ”
Dolgon was also arrogant, "Yes, just five days! ”
Even, Dolgon looked at Yue Tuo from time to time, and thought in his heart, Langfang would not be a move deliberately laid by Yue Tuo, the purpose was to absorb tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops.
The more he thought about it, the more sure Dolgon became, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, Yue Tuo deserved to be appreciated by the imperial brother, and it was really unusual.
………
Langfang.
Tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops surrounded Langfang City a few days ago, and then began a fierce siege of the city, and the battle began a few days ago and has been fought to this day.
One attack and one defense, the fight was very tragic, the Manchu Qing Tartars defending the city suffered many casualties, and the Guanning army besieging the city suffered great losses.
The Manchu Tartars once again successfully defeated the attack of the Guanning army, a Manchu armor Lae Zhen wearing armor, accompanied by several Manchu and Mongolian Niu Lu Ezhen, was standing on the city wall, watching the attacking Guan Ning army defeat again, this Manchu Jia Lae Zhen smiled.
"We have plenty of food and grass, and we have more than 100,000 arrows, and we can hold it for at least ten days." This Manchu Jia Lama said loudly and confidently.
A Manchu Niu Lu Zhen next to him also said: "It won't take ten days, it is estimated that in a few more days, Lord Beile will lead an army of 100,000 to come, and by then, the death date of this group of Guan Ning troops will come." ”
"Haha......"
Whether it was a Manchu Tartar or a Mongolian Tartar, everyone laughed.
The Guanning army gradually retreated, and could only look at Langfang City from a distance again, many soldiers of the Guanning army were very discouraged, and for several days, they paid at least tens of thousands of casualties, but they still failed to break through Langfang City.
Zhao Shuiquan was discouraged, walked to the side of Gao Qiqian with a dejected face, lowered his head and said: "Godfather, the child is incompetent, and he still failed to take Langfang City." ”
Gao Qiqian looked at Langfang City from afar, his face was slightly ugly, and the battle was like this, which was also greatly unexpected by Gao Qiqian, and he didn't think that the Manchu Tartars who defended the city were so tenacious, and Langfang City could not be attacked for a long time.
Zhao Shuiquan with the vanguard, as early as a few days ago launched the first attack on Langfang City, but failed miserably, after the main force of the Guanning Army arrived outside Langfang City, Zhao Shuiquan was not convinced and led the army to carry out a second attack, still defeated.
For several days, the Guanning army attacked the city several times a day, and the Tartars naturally suffered a lot of casualties, Zhao Shuiquan saw that the Tartars defending the city were killed and wounded at least more than one-third, and felt that his opportunity had come, so he took the initiative to ask for battle, and commanded thousands of Guanning troops to attack the city again.
I don't know if Zhao Shuiquan's command ability is too stinky, or the Tartars defending the city are too tenacious, this siege failed again, Zhao Shuiquan was disgraced and almost died in this siege.
The battle of Guan Ning's army in Langfang was unfavorable, and Lu Xiangsheng's situation was even worse.
………
Fengtian Temple, early dynasty.
Of course, the focus of today's deliberations is still about the war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at present, the war situation is very bad, except for a huge surprise given to everyone by Zhang Feng some time ago, the war has taken a sharp turn, and the bad news is one after another.
The Guanning army's attack on Langfang was frustrated, with more than 10,000 casualties, and at present, there is still a stalemate in the Langfang area.
Lu Xiangsheng's situation was even more difficult, he was defeated in several battles in Baoding, and he had retreated in the direction of Julu, and the 100,000 Manchu army was pursuing.
Chen Xinjia said miserably: "Your Majesty, what Governor Lu is leading is our elite, if it is lost, it will be a great loss for us." ”
This time, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, rarely stood on the same front with Chen Xinjia, and Liu Yuliang also said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Guanning army must immediately abandon Langfang City and immediately rush to the aid of Governor Lu, otherwise it will ......."
Emperor Chongzhen was in a heavy mood, and was hit by terrible news, Chongzhen's mood was good, Chongzhen said: "Spread my will, Guan Ningjun immediately rushed to Lu Xiangsheng's aid." ”
Chongzhen's will was soon issued, and at this moment, the Guan Ning army was storming Langfang, and it seemed that they were determined to get the mountain of property in the city.
………..
Tianjin Wei.
Zhang Feng knows the war in Langfang well, and the intelligence team has continuously gathered information to Zhang Feng.
It's just that, because of the lack of ammunition, Zhang Feng could only stand still and watch the Guanning army attack the city, and today is the fourth day of the Guanning army's siege.
Early in the morning.
As soon as he entered, Wang Chaoyong shouted, "Lord Commander, our ship has arrived, our ship has arrived at the port......
Hearing the shout, a stone in Zhang Feng's heart finally landed, and the cargo ship that departed from Shanghai Port to transport ammunition supplies arrived at Tianjin Port, and Zhang Feng had enough ammunition to do a big job.
Seeing Wang Dynasty rushing in, Zhang Feng smiled happily, "Commander Wang, it's okay now, gather the troops, get ready, set off at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the target is Langfang!" ”
Wang Chaoyong said excitedly: "Yes! Target Langfang! ”
In the past few days, Wang Chaoyong has been suffocated, and now when he hears the order, he immediately goes to gather troops and make a series of preparations.
In the past few days, Wang Chaoyong has also done a lot of work, and the more than 2,000 young and strong, except for one hundred and ten people who have withdrawn, most of them are willing to stay and fight Tartar with Zhang Feng.
In addition, Wang Chaoyong collected a lot of ox carts, carriages, and even more than 100 carriages of the Tianjin Wei family, so that there were hundreds of carriages and ox carts.
In just a few days, it was naturally of great use to collect so many wagons and ox carts, not only to transport ammunition supplies and personnel, but more importantly, to transport supplies from Langfang to Tianjinwei.
When the order was issued, the entire Tianjin Wei was busy, and the wharf naturally went without saying, and boxes of ammunition were transported from the cargo ships calling at the port, which were whole boxes of paper shell bullets, whole boxes of grenades, and in addition, there were some large wooden boxes inside, I don't know what they contained.
After a period of busyness, at noon, the official road out of the city became lively, from the official road from Tianjin Wei to Langfang, hundreds of carts, soldiers plus more than 2,000 young people accompanying them, stretched for several miles, mighty towards Langfang.
For the sake of safety, the cavalry scouts were released several miles away, and as long as there was any wind and grass, they would be discovered immediately, and the cavalry scouts would come back to report immediately.
