The second town of the Praetorian Guard was shelled by the Tang army, and the actual damage was not particularly large, but it immediately knocked out the second town's will to fight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Originally, under the order of Sai Chong'a, the troops of the second town were exhausted on the so-called defensive line, and they were mobilized by Xie Jinwu several times in a row, and the Praetorian Guard formation had dispersed, and the people's hearts began to float. When the real shelling began, the night brought them stronger fear, and there was a Praetorian Guard who thought that the Tang army was attacking and shooting, which was regarded as an enemy by the nearby friendly forces, and the two sides fought in a daze for a while, only to find out that it was their own people, of course, their unreliable marksmanship did not kill many people in total, but it only made the entire defense line outside the city more chaotic.

Sai Chong'a was extremely angry, and he wanted to concentrate his troops for a counterattack, but his men did not pay much attention to the firing position of the Tang artillery, and the self-propelled artillery units of the Tang army changed places immediately after the battle, which was even more difficult to capture. The most important thing is that Sai Chong'a is actually difficult to pinch the entire army at this time, his troops are in chaos, and the commanders of some grassroots units cannot even be contacted at this time.

This is an extremely incredible thing in the eyes of the Tang army, obviously on their own side, and with their backs to the city defense, they were actually shelled once, and the problem of poor communication appeared. The combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard was even lower than the Tang Army imagined.

Sai Chong'a asked Fukangan for instructions to mobilize the forces of other Praetorian Guards and the New Army to launch a counterattack against the Tang army, but after Fukangan received his report, he ordered Sai Chong'a to restrain his troops. Stand still.

The sound of the cannon just now was heard very clearly in the Beijing Division. Originally, the Praetorian Guard was mobilized during the day today. It made some of the people in the city panic, and now in the evening, the cannon roared, which made the people even more frightened. Of course, the most frightened person should be the one in the palace.

Jiaqing's face was swollen red, and in front of him were several important ministers, he waved his arms and shouted in a very gaffe: "Didn't you say that the Tang people would not use force? Why is this a fight? ”

Fukangan bowed his head and said: "The Tang Army is conducting so-called exercises, but in the name of exercises, it suppresses our DPRK. I had been told many times before that the Janissaries had told me the target locations of their shelling, and the generals below had withdrawn their troops, but Sai Chong'a thought that at night, the Tang army was lying and threatening, and the targets that came had become too many, so he did not order the troops to withdraw, who knew that the Tang army really opened fire. ”

Jiaqing scolded: "Sai Chong'a is really an idiot, I want to remove him!" ”

Shoufu Wang Jie said a fair word at this time, and said: "I don't complain about Sai Chong in this matter, Tang Jun is cunning. And if the Tang army is allowed to mess around like this, the defense of the Beijing division is worrying. The face of the court is even more unsafe. ”

Jiaqing naturally knew what Wang Jie said, but the roaring cannon made him seem to remember the night more than ten years ago, when he was captured by the special forces of the Tang Army who fell from the sky, and was thrown into a remote palace, trembling with his brothers and family members.

The painful and terrifying memories of the trip made Jiaqing's originally firm belief begin to shake a little.

At this time, Fukangan also saw Jiaqing's external strength and middle cadres, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, although the Tang army shelled our army, the two armies did not fight, and the Tang army automatically withdrew from the contact line after the shelling was completed, and the defense of our Beijing division is still stable. ”

Jiaqing breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Wang Ba's breath recovered a little, and he asked proudly: "So, the Tang people just want to scare us?" I just said, we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Tang people only have a thousand, so it is ridiculous to want to intimidate us. Fu Aiqing, at this time, send troops to break the Tang Army and compete for victory, is there any hope? ”

Fukangan understands that the second town of the Praetorian Guard is no longer very warlike, and even the other two towns will be afraid of fighting after witnessing the second town being beaten like this. He knew the Tang Army in front of him that the First Brigade of the Tang Army led by Xie Jinwu was the elite of the Tang Army. He also came into contact with Xie Jinwu, who won the victory of Gubeikou back then, led the troops calmly and decisively, was brave and strategic, and was a rare general. More importantly, this mechanized army of the Tang army has hundreds of chariots, and the Qing army really has to face it, I am afraid that it will have to fight for huge losses, but it cannot guarantee the final victory.

Fukangan naturally didn't want to admit the incompetence of the Qing army, so he excused himself and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is already night at this time, and it is extremely difficult to march or fight. It is better to let the soldiers rest first, and then carry out a devastating blow to the Tang army. ”

Jiaqing was convinced of Fukangan's words, nodded and agreed to Fukangan's request, and Fukangan was secretly relieved.

Although the chariot of the Tang army is not strong in night fighting, but the Qing army has not been trained to fight in night battles, Fukangan knows that even if it is a trained subject, the Qing army can fight a mess on the battlefield, not to mention that this kind of training is not enough at all.

Jiaqing didn't know that this was Fukangan's own plan to delay the army, so he agreed and asked Fukangan to prepare and launch a counterattack against the Tang army early tomorrow morning.

Tang Jun naturally didn't discuss anything with Fukangan, but Xie Jinwu saw that the sky was really bad, and forcibly firing not only easily exposed his position, but also greatly limited the role of fire control in the night. In particular, his troops were somewhat tired from Tanggu to the capital after a day's long journey, so after Xie Jinwu left a small part of the army to confuse, the large team began to retreat backwards to a certain extent, and built the barracks again in a better position.

In this way, the original place where Tang and Qing clashed became a vacuum, and the Qing army also hurriedly seized the opportunity to report that the Tang army had been driven away in the city, and the Qing army won a complete victory. However, when it came to killing and wounding a few people, the Qing court once again became inarticulate and tried to hide from the world.

It's just that it's good to die, Jiaqing really thinks that the retreat of the Tang army is because the Praetorian Guard built by his subordinates has achieved results, although there is no head to present, but Jiaqing only thinks that the military is beginning to be civilized and civilized, and no longer chop off people's heads. And what Jiaqing actually didn't know was that the lieutenant colonel of the Praetorian Guard, who commanded this army, might still be defeated even if he suppressed the Tang army with ten times the strength of his troops.

Jiaqing naturally didn't care about that, so he set a new goal for the Praetorian Guards - to defeat the Tang State.
