Chapter 66: Soldiers Descend on the City
Manchu Right Wing Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the boss's big tent, Yue Tuo was sitting high, and he won a big victory yesterday, almost defeating the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and Yue Tuo looked good.
Deputy Marshal Du Du also looked happy, "Lord Belle, yesterday's battle was really happy, preliminary statistics show that we killed more than 12,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry yesterday. ”
Yue Tuo nodded, and did not forget to remind: "We fought a big victory yesterday, and the left wing army was not bad, three battles and three victories in Zhuozhou, not only defeated the soldiers and horses of the king of Duoluqin, but also forced Lu Xiangsheng to retreat to Baoding. ”
Deputy Marshal Du Du said: "Lord Belle, are we going to fight another dozen Guanning Iron Cavalry?" ”
Yue Tuo waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the Guanning army has already put on a defensive posture, and if we attack rashly, we are afraid that we will injure the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800." ”
I have to say that Yue Tuo has a very strategic vision, he is very good at using troops and leading troops, and he knows how to judge the situation and know that this is not a good time to attack the Guanning army.
Deputy Marshal Du Du said: "Lord Belle, then do we continue to loot, or ......"
Yue Tuo interrupted Du Du's words with a wave of his hand, "Have you all forgotten what happened a few days ago?" ”
Du Du said: "Lord Belle, you are talking about the Ming army that is huddled in Tianjin, they only have less than 2,000 people, and we will send a Jiala over to destroy them." ”
Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "No, no, one Jiala is not enough, in this way, the Red Flag Sect sends a Jiala." After speaking, Yue Tuo's eyes looked at Amur, one of the Mongolian Eight Banner Banners.
Amur understood and immediately said: "Lord Belle, don't worry, we will go out with all our flags and will definitely kill all these Ming troops to avenge our dead warriors." ”
Yue Tuo nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a straight face: "Inform the warriors, set off early tomorrow morning, and I will wait here for the good news of the warriors." ”
When the matter was settled, more than 10,000 people of Amur's banner were dispatched, and a Jiala was dispatched with a red flag, and the total strength reached 10,000 thousands.
10,000 thousands of people against less than 2,000 Ming troops, no matter who it seems, this is a sure battle, no wonder, even Yue Tuo, an experienced coach, said that he is here waiting for everyone's good news.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come!
It can be seen that Yue Tuo has included Zhang Feng's team in the list of deaths, and sent 10,000 thousands of people in one go, six or seven times the number of Zhang Feng.
Early in the morning.
The sun had just risen in the east, and the huge procession was advancing along the official road leading to Tianjinwei, which was simply a galloping of thousands of horses, and the marching team was several miles long.
In addition to cavalry, there were archers, heavy armor. Carrying a few red-coated cannons, it's really not good for those who come, and good people don't come!
………
Tianjin Wei.
Wang Chaoyong's action was very fast, many soldiers rode war horses and quickly moved, and more went out of the city, responsible for going to the villages and towns near Tianjin Wei to publicize and mobilize, and the propaganda and mobilization in the city were even more rapid.
One notice after another was quickly posted, and one by one the propaganda and mobilization teams were also quickly scattered, and the results were immediate.
In the east of the city, a large notice was posted, surrounded by many people, and a man wearing a long robe, who looked like a scholar, was reading the contents of the notice aloud.
"General Zhang wants to recruit people to beat the Qing Tartars, and all those who participate will be given ten taels of silver each?"
The scholar said loudly: "That's what the notice says, there will be no fake, you look here, this is the Great Seal of the Songjiang Prefecture Regiment Training." ”
In the lower corner of the notice, there is really a bright red seal. Everyone is a common person of Tianjin Wei, so they naturally know Zhang Feng, and they also know that Zhang Feng won a big battle two days ago and killed a thousand Tartars.
Cheng Sanshun is a native of Tianjin Wei, a few days ago, the Tartars entered the city to loot, Cheng Sanshun's family suffered, not only the only little food in the family was robbed, but his two dilapidated houses were burned into a pile of ruins.
Cheng Sanshun said loudly: "I'm going to fight the Tartars for revenge, if I don't kill a few Tartars, it's hard to understand the hatred in my heart." ”
"Yes, I'm going to take part in the Tartar fight too!"
"I'll go too, and besides, I have ten taels of silver to take."
“……”
After the notices were posted one by one, and the soldiers were mobilized for propaganda, the people in the Tianjin Acropolis quickly reacted, and several recruitment points set up in the city quickly gathered many people.
At noon, young and middle-aged people from nearby villages and towns also came over one after another, and there were more and more people, and the scene was a little hot.
The next day.
In the morning, on a wasteland in the west of the city, there were many people, except for a few wearing military uniforms and carrying flintlock muskets, and the others were all kinds of clothes.
These people, dressed in a variety of clothes, can be seen, there are farmers, there are hawkers, there are coolies, etc., it is estimated that there are people from all walks of life.
These people have a common characteristic, they are not very old, they are basically young and middle-aged, and the oldest is estimated to be in their thirties.
Yesterday, Wang Chaoyong led people to be busy for a day, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, I heard that there are ten taels of silver to take when I come to fight tartars, and many people have come over.
The Tartars burned, killed and looted in this area, and many people came with the intention of revenge. In one day, more than 2,000 young and middle-aged people were recruited, and more than 2,000 people were registered, and then distributed to three infantry battalions, each with six or seven hundred people.
Shen Xinglong, the commander of the third company of the first battalion, had a loud voice, and the whole person looked like a black tower, five big and three thick, and he was holding a grenade with a wooden handle in his hand, and he was demonstrating in person.
"Everyone can see clearly, first unscrew the lid on the wooden handle, pull out the fuse, and see that this fuse is not there."
After speaking, Shen Xinglong specially displayed the grenade in front of everyone, and then continued: "Everyone has seen this fuse, the next step is very simple, use the fire fold to ignite the fuse, and then throw it hard."
In order to demonstrate more realistically, Shen Xinglong really lit the fuse of the grenade with a fire fold, the fuse was ignited, and with smoke and sparks, Shen Xinglong threw the grenade out of the distance and into a bunch of wild grass in the distance.
"Boom !!"
A loud bang sounded, and grass clippings mixed with mud and sand splashed everywhere, and many people were startled by this loud noise, staring blankly at the explosion point in the distance.
Shen Xinglong smiled with satisfaction, he basically reacted like this at the beginning, when he threw a grenade for the first time, Shen Xinglong himself was also taken aback.
After the on-site teaching, after demonstrating the throwing of the grenade, Shen Xinglong talked to everyone about some battlefield rules and precautions.
There is no time at all, Zhang Feng can only do this, yesterday recruited more than 2,000 young people, early this morning to each battalion and company, some company platoon commanders personally demonstrate, on-site teaching, began to sharpen guns.
In one morning, only the most basic and simple pre-war training can be done, and in such a short time, it is obviously not possible to teach everyone to use flintlock muskets, and you can only teach everyone to use grenades.
Zhang Feng's purpose is very simple, that is, to defend the city, the first priority is to defend Tianjin first, his nearly 2,000 people must be the main force to defend the city, but the city wall is so long, he has less than 2,000 people, which is obviously not enough.
The more than 2,000 young men of this new move are the auxiliary forces of defending the city, and the task of these young men is very simple, generally hiding on the city wall, hiding behind the arrow battlements, and not showing their heads, and when the siege of the Tartars is near, they will light grenades and throw them into the crowd of Tartars under the city.
Zhang Feng secretly rejoiced that this time he had brought hundreds of boxes of grenades, numbering tens of thousands, without these things, Zhang Feng would not be able to hold the Tianjin Acropolis with no certainty.
In the afternoon.
Zhang Feng was convening a pre-war military meeting for officers above the company level, and as soon as he had completed a series of military deployments, a communications soldier walked in quickly.
"Lord General Soldier, the situation has been clearly investigated, the total number of Tartars is more than 13,000 people, in addition to the cavalry, there are archers, hoplites, etc., and its vanguard is less than ten miles away from Tianjin Wei."
More than 13,000 people!
Many of the company commanders sitting here had solemn faces, more than 13,000 people! several times the number of their own.
Zhang Feng said loudly: "The Tartars really look up to us, how about it, are you afraid!" ”
Zong Dechao, the commander of the first battalion, first said loudly: "I'm afraid of a bird, it's good to come, let them taste the power of our muskets." ”
"Yes, what about more than 13,000 people, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair."
“……”
Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone has good confidence, then we will fight a dozen Tartars here and teach them a lesson." ”
When the Tartars came, everyone moved quickly, and apart from the guard company and about one or two hundred young men who were left in reserve, the soldiers of each platoon and company went up to the city wall one after another.
on the city walls.
Zhang Feng, Wang Chaoyong and others also climbed the city wall in person, stood on the city wall, and looked into the distance, the front was open and flat, and Zhang Feng, who had good eyesight, saw a large number of small black spots in the distance, needless to say, the Tartars came.
Everyone is ready to fight.
