Chapter 124 This Great Qing Kingdom Eats Jujube Pills

The chaff tartar emperor is indeed poor, so he can only go against the grain. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

During the period when the Yang demon people hid in the south and returned to their lair to hide from Tianwei, my compatriots of all ethnic groups in the Qing Dynasty worked together, united as one, fought bloodily, and finally ......

Finally collapsed.

In three months, Kang Mazi used his guard battalion and some of the internal guards, plus the eldest son Yinzhen, the fourth son Yinzhen, and the eighth son Yinzhen together as a supervising team on the front line, forcing the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han, the Green Battalion, the cavalry of the Mongolian prince, the northwest Huimin Tusi who was inspired by loyalty, and the local gentry organized the Yong Battalion of King Qin, in short, the miscellaneous cards like the new annexed army added up to more than 300,000 people at the peak, and attacked Shanhaiguan day and night.

However, the results are desperate.

This iron-clad Xiongguan, coupled with the Ming army's defensive capabilities, directly turned the Shanhai Pass into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

In three months, more than 100,000 Qing troops fell inside and outside Shanhaiguan.

Those who were killed by bullets, those who were bombarded by shells, those who were shocked to death by the terrifying power of rockets, those who were directly smoked to death by chlorine bombs thrown by trebuchets, those who were burned into half-human, half-bone skeleton monsters by cruel white phosphorus shells, and those who were burned by gasoline to blackened and half-charred......

In short, the bloody cruelty of war is fully demonstrated.

It is said that there were more than 1,000 people in the Qing army who were frightened crazy, and those who were more wild and untamable later, such as the Mongolian cavalry and the northwest huimin Tusi, simply refused to be a target for the Ming army again, and even had the mind of fighting with the warlords. And the Mongolian princes who were originally scheduled to come also retreated halfway, and even Kang Mazi's holy decree didn't pay attention to it, and those gentry from all over the country were unwilling to continue to organize the Yongying to go north to King Qin, and even the local officials began to push back, after all, the vast majority of their Yong Battalion were of the same clan and clan, and they were distressed when they died too much. What's more, the world has begun to enter the troubled times, look at the posture of the Qing Kingdom sooner or later, it is better to keep the army for self-protection in the future!

In this case, in order to save the situation, Kang Mazi can only play the old trick of his ancestors to drive people and attack the city, otherwise if he continues to fight on the front line, the Qing army is likely to repeat the collapse of Zhenhai in that year.

Even Yinren has rarely warned him directly about this.

However, he was wrong, he was deeply wrong, he forgot that Yang Feng was no longer on the front line, and those Ming army generals didn't need to play with loving the people like sons.

"You did it? How did Lone educate you on weekdays? No matter what we do, we must first consider the safety of the people, and we must never do anything to harm the people. The Tartars are mad, are you also mad? Are these people also enemy troops? Are these old and weak women and children also enemy troops? Don't you feel like you're committing a crime by killing so many innocent people? ”

On the Gongchen Gate of Xiluo City in Shanhaiguan, Yang Wangye pointed to those wearing ordinary people's clothes among the dense corpses outside the pass, and was furious at Gao Huai and a group of generals of the Third Army.

The latter hurriedly knelt down one after another.

The people hired to help next to him were in a mood.

Gao Huai and these people are not Li Dingguo, besides, they are all southerners, they have no real feelings for this area at all, and they don't even understand the language, how can they care about shooting at the meat shield in this situation, and the Qing army is mixed with a lot of death squads among the people, all of them want to take the opportunity to blow up the city wall, all whether it is the Qing army or the common people who are driven by them as meat shields, the Ming army is the same, either they are broken through the Shanhai Pass, or they are ruthless, anyway, learning Li Dingguo is their own death.

At this point, Gao Huai and others did not make any mistakes.

Of course, Yang Wangye's performance must also continue.

"You remove all your posts and demote your rank to soldier!"

He pointed at Gao Huai and yelled fiercely.

"Lord Wang, I have been with you for many years, and I have worked hard without merit!"

Gao Huai hugged his leg and cried.

Yang Wangye kicked him away.

"You, all of you will be dismissed, your military rank will be reduced to soldiers, you will be left in the army to check, and you will make meritorious contributions to see the aftermath!"

Immediately after that, he pointed at the three brigade commanders and shouted, and the guards beside him immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously took off Gao Huai and their collar badges.

"This king is not strict, and he is ashamed of the people!"

Then Yang Wangye knelt on the city wall with a painful face, kowtowing to the thousands of Qing soldiers who were killed outside the city, and then the city wall, including Gao Huai and other generals, all the Ming officers and soldiers also knelt down, at this time, those people who were hired to help defend the city all praised Yang Wangye as the real Holy Lord Mingjun.

"In the final analysis, all this is caused by the madness of the Tartars, the real culprit is the Tartar chief Xuanye, this king must no longer tolerate this mad butcher to continue to kill the people, pass on the king's order, all armies are ready, kill out of Shanhaiguan, recover Beijing, and capture Xuanye alive!"

Then Yang Wang Ye stood up, waved his fist and shouted.

"Recover Beijing and capture Xuan Ye alive!"

"Recover Beijing and capture Xuan Ye alive!"

……

All the Ming troops on the Great Wall shouted at the same time.

In the shouting, Yang Wangye looked at the Qing army camp in the distance and nodded with satisfaction.

Next is the march into Beijing.

This time, he not only transferred the 7th Infantry Brigade over, but also added the 1st Cavalry Brigade, so that the total strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army reached four infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade, plus a heavy rocket artillery battalion belonging to the group army, and a newly commissioned light rocket artillery battalion, this battalion is equipped with 24-tube rocket artillery specially for attacking cluster targets, of course, the rockets are much lighter, basically a soldier can pick up a rocket for loading.

In fact, it is a miniature version of a heavy rocket, with a maximum range of less than two miles, but it is enough for forward attacks, with a warhead with more than a dozen catties of gunpowder and steel balls, and the tail is also stabilized by three spin blades, which is specially used to bombard the infantry cavalry phalanx.

In this way, if he left two infantry brigades to guard the mountain pass, he could go south with two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade.

"But our troops are still insufficient, we can only take the line of Funing, Lulong, Fengrun, Baodi, Xianghe, and Tongzhou from Shanhaiguan to the south, with a length of more than 600 miles, and all the mouths of the Great Wall west of Shanhaiguan are under the control of the Qing army, and it is easy for us to open this passage, and two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade can easily go straight to Beijing. But the problem is that the 600-mile transportation line cannot be guaranteed, and the Qing army going south from the mouths of the Great Wall can attack our transportation line at any time, and the only way is to garrison troops along the way, but then our troops will not be enough.

The two brigades of Shanhaiguan can't move, we have to hold the two points of the wharf and the city at the same time, and there are at least 50,000 Qing troops outside the Guanwai, including the Mongolian cavalry plus the Eight Banners outside the Guan, and the two brigades to block them are the bottom line. In the five counties along the way, at least one brigade must be left to guard it. In addition, there must be enough troops to protect those people who transport supplies, after all, only defending the county town can not stop their cavalry attack, then in the end we can reach the city of Beijing, it is estimated that there will be only a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade left, and such a force will be very tense to attack Beijing. ”

Gao Huai said to the map.

In fact, this is also the main shortcoming of the Ming army at present, no matter how attacking there in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no need to consider the problem of logistics and transportation for the Ming army, because the rivers there are vertical and horizontal, and water transportation can transport materials to any place they want to transport, but this is the north, at least before arriving in Baodi, they will not get water transportation conditions, that is to say, the minimum 500 miles along the way can only be transported by those people by horse-drawn carriages.

The Ming army fought a war, but it was not like the army in the era of cold weapons, as long as it needed to have food, and even if it was robbed along the way, it could grab food to fill its stomach.

Especially this is still to attack, it can be said that at this time the most heavily defended fortress, it is even more inseparable from logistics, whether bullets, shells, rockets must be transported from Shanhaiguan, at this time there are no trains and cars, the best is just the Ming army's four-wheeled carriage, but how much ammunition can the four-wheeled carriage pull? A heavy rocket is still three or four hundred pounds, even a four-wheeled carriage can't pull a few, not to mention the problem of roads, bridges along the way, and the attack of the Qing army, all of which are troubles.

"Unless?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Unless it goes to Dagukou again."

"But Dagukou has completely turned into a swamp, and even if we blow up the dam built by Kang Mazi, it will be impossible to pass through it in a short time."

Yang Feng said.

"But after the explosion, we will be able to take the boat, especially those small inland river warships, which can go all the way from the Haihe River channel to Tianjin, and then turn into the canal to reach Tongzhou, while the infantry is advancing on foot along the river, and more importantly, now the main force of the Qing army is on the northern line, they think that the southern line is blocked by a swamp area, and we will not land from there again, so that we can easily land in Beitang, and then quickly insert their Haihe River dam, and after blowing up the dam, the Haihe River channel will be restored, and then rely on this channel to march to Tianjin.

But before we can do that, we have one more job to do. ”

Gao Huai said.

This is actually back to the old road of the British and French coalition forces, Yang Feng designed the Qing army entry mode is invalid, but if this is the case, those Qing troops are estimated to go crazy, the last time the Ming army suddenly transferred from Dagukou to Shanhaiguan, they were exhausted and walked hundreds of miles to rush over, and now the Ming army suddenly turned back from Shanhaiguan back to Dagukou, those Qing troops have to go back again, saying that they don't want to spit on his face that is fake, the Ming army took a boat for two days and swayed over, they had to walk half a month on foot.

"What else is there to do?"

Yang Feng asked.

"First defeat the 150,000 Qing troops in front of us, otherwise the pressure on our two brigades guarding Shanhaiguan will be too great."

Gao Huai said.

"Then I'll leave this to the king, who likes to do this kind of work the most."

Yang Feng said with a cruel smile (to be continued.) )
