Chapter 807: Surprise

Sun Sanjie knew that the heavy rocket should be placed in the front, and while regretting it in his heart, he could only strive for more light rockets, but it was not easy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Since the beginning of this month, although the Jingbian Army has 12,000 light rockets and 1,400 heavy rockets in stock, rockets are consumables; taking light rockets as an example, the 600 rocket launch slots only need to fire 20 rounds per launch slot, and 12,000 rockets will be gone.

Moreover, there is no overheating problem such as artillery in the launch slot, and you can hit as many rockets as you want, and if you don't pay attention to it, another 100,000 will not be enough.

Looking at what those rocket soldiers have passed, a large number of sergeants are watching, and those rocket soldiers are also vivid, Sun Sanjie is thinking about how to ask the general for rockets, especially heavy rockets, just to get a good one.

They rode their horses along the Tangshan and walked around, this Tangshan is not big, the east and west are only three or four miles, the north and south are two or three miles, the altitude is not high, less than 100 meters, but there is a large amount of mountain spring water in the southwest, called Tangquan, there are also resort farms here in later generations, there is only a small village at this time.

There are a lot of mountain springs like this in the east of Changping, Shenling Mountain and Baifu Mountain, there are a large number of mountain springs, especially Baifu Mountain spring water is more famous.

At that time, Guo Shoujing surveyed the altitude of Baifu Spring to be 55 meters, and the altitude of Wengshan Bo (Kunming Lake of the Summer Palace) was 40 meters, so he built Baifu Weir in the west of Baifu Village, built a canal along the way, turned a large circle arc around Xishan, and gathered all springs in Wengshanbo.

It also diverts water into the pond of the inner city, with a total length of 164 miles and 14 steps, which is an amazing masterpiece in the history of water conservancy, and since then Beijing has the lifeline of water supply.

At that time, the concept of altitude was introduced, and it was very rare to overcome all kinds of complicated terrain on the way to divert water.

However, now the Baifu weir has been abandoned, and the Baifu spring water flows directly south into the Beisha River.

Of course, Sun Sanjie didn't think about it so much, there was a lot of mountain spring water here, and he was only happy that the army had enough drinking water.

They rode their horses along the three mountains and two walls, seeing that the defense line was strong and the morale was high, and the generals beside them were all happy: "General Sun, the defense line is strong, the guns are sharp, and there are rockets. ā€

Sun Sanjie's soft and feminine "gentle" voice sounded, and he said firmly: "That's for sure, just like the defense line of Changling Mountain back then, if the slaves and thieves really come to attack, let them come as many as they want, and die as much as they want." ā€

Like Zhao Xuan, Sun Sanjie is a technical officer, he has a simple temperament, and he is very bad at intrigue, but in the Jingbian Army, he doesn't need intrigue, and he has risen smoothly step by step with his own merits over the years.

This made him grateful to the general Wang Dou, when Wang Dou arrived at Shunxiang Fort at first, Sun Sanjie's wish was to be able to bring a team of outstanding firecrackers, but he didn't expect that now he has brought more than 10,000 people, and he has no other ideas, just to work diligently.

……

On the 18th, the main army of the Jingbian Army began to march to Gonghua City, Bao'erling and other places, in view of the more sentry cavalry spied by the Tartar thieves, Wang Dou also sent more soldiers who did not collect at night to drive away and cover, especially not to let the thieves know everything behind the Block'er Ridge.

On the same day, Dolgon also began to pull out to the side of the Shahe River, the Shahe River converges the Nansha River, the Beisha River water, basically a large arc of the "7" shape, from Changping to the south will encounter the Shahe water, from Shunyi to the west, the same will encounter the Shahe water.

Dolgon kept an eye on the thieves and the king, especially the king's movements, he wanted the snipe to fight with each other, and the fisherman to profit, so he had to hurry up and hurry up at the right time. So after arriving in Shunyi, he only rested for one night, and he was busy rushing to the Shahe River in the west.

It is about 30 miles from the west of Shunyi City to Shahe, and he does not play the flag, but only takes the pro-army Kabush Xian camp to the west, all the way is the mighty march of the Eight Banners of men and horses, people are like tides, flags are flying like the sea, the sound of the horse's hooves shaking the earth, especially the small carts pushed by the slaves of the banners are like ants.

The problem of logistics has always plagued Dolgon, he has a large number of soldiers and horses, especially too many horses, and the amount of grain, rice and forage consumed in a month will not be worse than that of Wang Dou's Jingbian army, which will be about 150,000 or 60,000 stone a month, not counting the loss.

Especially in battle, the horses can't eat too badly, and they need to be properly replenished with food, otherwise let alone fighting, how far the empty horse can run is a problem.

This is very similar to human food, analogous to eat grass is equivalent to drinking porridge, eating hay is equivalent to eating dry rice, adding soy food is equivalent to adding meat, the higher the proportion, the more meat, and finally there is enough physical strength to work.

Therefore, even the horses of nomads, fishermen and hunters are free-range in the grasslands in peacetime, and they must be replenished by surprise when they are in war, and some grain and bean feed will be supplied. It's like doing heavy work on a construction site, what is the result of not having meat to eat?

The horses of the Jingbian Army generally have soybeans and grains in peacetime, and even reach the ratio of half of hay and half of beans and grains when they go out into battle.

The horses of the Qing State could not reach this level, but because of the large quantity, the same consumption was not small, and in the two months since the troops were dispatched, the grain and rice that Dolgon had looted from Japan and Korea had been rapidly consumed, and the special supply line was too long, so it was impossible for him to still supply grain from the territory of the Qing State after arriving in Shunyi.

So after entering the customs, the fact that the supply of his army was to grab grain on the spot and eat it to the enemy, and he and Wu Sangui and others said that the army entered the customs, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, but in fact the places where his army passed were as clean as thieves, and the villages and towns were on fire.

But Dorgon was careful not to infringe on the gentry, especially not to endanger their lives, if they did not resist. Therefore, compared with the previous burning, killing and looting, the jade is burned, giving people a refreshing feeling, and there are already gentry singing praises of the benevolence of the Qing Dynasty.

But even so, the huge supply of food and grass still bothered Dolgon, and his army of 250,000 men, including the coat, oh, more than now.

The daily consumption of grain was five or six thousand stones, which was too much, so after the grain was levied, Dolgon's highest priority was to supply him with the Manchu Eight Banners, then the Mongols, then the Han Eight Banners, then the Korean and Japanese Eight Banners, and then the newly surrendered Ming Shun Army.

Every day, there were many disputes over food, so he surrendered to the Ming Shun army, hoping that his treatment would be the same as that of the Han Eight Banners, and even they robbed each other of food.

Finally, there are the coats, who are still hungry and hungry.

Of course, if the war is won, they can go to loot the ordinary Ming people.

They were doing logistics and other chores in the camp, and after arriving in Shunyi, they rushed to cut down trees, collect planks, build pontoon bridges, and make shield carts, and they didn't have a rest all day.

Dolgon went to the edge of the Sand River, and he rode a hillside not far from the river, and the bank of the river was already full of ants, especially in some shallow places, and the dense coats stood in the river, and under the roar of those bannermen, they were desperately building pontoon bridges.

When the Sand River reached this point, the water surface was not narrow, it was more than a hundred paces, and Dolgon believed that at least ten pontoon bridges were necessary for the army to cross the river quickly, so the trees around it were cut down, and the planks and timber of many villages and towns were also looted.

Looking at the busy scene below, Dolgon nodded, and the pontoon should be ready by tomorrow.

He looked into the distance again, and there was a faint sound of guns, and on both sides of the river, there seemed to be many horse teams chasing and running.

"The Jingbian Army has discovered us."

The Kabush Xian Kalaa Angbang Wu Bai beside him said worriedly.

Dorgon pulled out his clairvoyant mirror and looked over there for a long time, but it was too far away to be vaguely clear.

He said: "This is a certain thing, Wang Doufei is not an idle person, when my army arrives in Shunyi, he will definitely send someone to come over and sentry cavalry." ā€

He admired in his heart, the Jingbian Army is really a famous and powerful army in the world, and they have come to scouts from such a distance, if they are placed in other Ming troops, they may have all their troops in the city, and they suddenly woke up.

However, he said confidently: "However, my division is well concealed, Wang Dou will be difficult to find out the truth for a while, although he will be vigilant, but the plan to attack the thieves will not change, and I will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ā€

Dolgon received information that the Jingbian army had built a large defense line on the east side of Changping, which should be a move to protect the back road, for fear that the thieves would outflank his back road. Now that he has arrived in Shunyi, although Wang Dou will be suspicious, he has sent too many elite horsemen to cover the battlefield, and they can't get close at night.

Therefore, Dolgon thinks that Wang Dou should not know his reality by now, and he does not know whether the current Shunyi people are his main force, and in addition to strengthening his vigilance, he will still attack the thieves as originally planned.

And Dolgon thinks that Wang Dou is out of the customs in the name of righteousness, and his main enemy now is the thief, even if he knows that his main force is in Shunyi, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping to defeat the thief as soon as possible, this is his chance.

Dolgon admits that Wang Dou is very strong, but he is not strong enough to fight on two fronts, so even if he finds himself, he is defending himself, and then concentrating his forces to deal with the thieves, so that he can take the opportunity to contain Wang Dou's forces and sit back and watch them fight to the death.

A large array was arranged in the middle, and tens of thousands of cavalry were specially concentrated, as the main force for rapid mobility, and the results could be reaped calmly in a timely manner.

Everything is ready and under control, except for a little.

He turned his head to look into the extreme distance to the southwest, and muttered, "I wonder if the thieves can detect the soldiers and horses of my Great Qing Kingdom?" ā€

……

A team of Shunjun horses galloped along the Qing River flowing eastward, they wore red tasseled felt hats, wore black uniforms, and had the word "Shun" on them, but they were the soldiers and horses of the front battalion under the command of Yuan Zongdi, the Marquis of Mian. They are all capable, skilled in horsemanship, with long knives and strong bows, and horses and steps, but they are very elite veteran soldiers in his battalion.

They were ordered to sentry, and the more thieves and horses gathered in Qinghedian, but they didn't know anything about the situation behind the Fen'er Ridge, Li Zicheng sent a large group of horses to the Lingzhong sentinel, but they were all resolutely blocked back by the horse team of the Jingbian Army.

This group of men and horses also tried to go, but the horses and guns that the Jingbian army did not collect at night were too terrible, and they were fifty or sixty steps away, and they would have to go for half their lives if they did not die, and their horse bows were useless. Want to use a foot bow? The horse team of the Jingbian Army had already run far away.

Therefore, they found another way to see if they could bypass the Barrier Ridge, make a big circle, and look at the back of the Jingbian Army from the flank.

They galloped on horseback, a good horse in the billowing smoke and dust, a color of exquisite equestrianism, as an old battalion, they live on the horse all the year round, gallop on the horse, fight on the horse, this equestrian skill, may be a lot of Outer Mongolians can not compare with them.

There are no problems with everything, except for their armor.

Li Zicheng's army is regarded as a light armor, or no armor soldier, even if it is an old battalion soldier, many people are only equipped with cotton armor, or a cover armor style, and there is no inlaid armor leaf inside.

They were galloping, and it was estimated that they were already more than ten miles away from Bao'er Ridge, and they were about to turn when they suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and it seemed that a group of people and horses were coming this way.

"Jingbian Army?"

Immediately, the old battalion soldiers of the front battalion were on alert, and then the group of men and horses galloped closer, and these old battalion soldiers were surprised to find that this was an army that they had never seen before, and they were very unfamiliar in dress. There were about twenty of them, all dressed in blue cotton armor, covered with shiny bubble nails, and thick lacquered iron helmets, the top of which was high and the red tassels fluttering.

There were also a few horsemen wearing silver shining iron armor, extremely thick, as if each piece was made of fine iron, and a small flag like fire with an oblique tip on their backs.

There was also a cavalryman with the same thick and heavy iron armor, with a flying tiger flag behind him and several carved feathers on the helmet.

Their unified look was that their eyes were violent, their eyes were fierce, their eyes were fierce, they were full of a chilling barbaric atmosphere, and they all had all kinds of weapons on their horses, all of which were thick and heavy, and the quivers hanging on them were bulging, full of all kinds of light arrows and heavy arrows.

"Who are these people, it doesn't look like the Jingbian Army."

The old soldiers of the front battalion looked at each other, where did the horse team soldiers come from, why had they never seen each other?

Looking at their dress, they are also very different from ordinary Ming troops.

Looking at the fierce and savage atmosphere on their bodies, it also makes people's hearts beat drums.

It's weird, why did a monkey pop up on the ground?

The old battalion soldiers in the front battalion were on guard, and the strange horse team on the opposite side also found the people and horses here, they slowed down their horsepower and slowly came over, and the leader seemed to be the horse soldier with a carved feather on his helmet, he had a stiff smile on his face, and said in blunt Chinese that they were the men and horses of the Great Qing Kingdom, and they specially helped the Dashun Heavenly Soldiers to fight the king and fight the thief.

Seeing that their expressions were kind, and they seemed to be flattering, the old soldiers of the front battalion breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, their essence of lust and stubble immediately came up.

Looking at the armor of these people and their horses, greed surged in the eyes of many people, and suddenly the sentry always shouted: "Presumptuous, in front of the heavenly soldiers, dare to be big?" What is the Great Qing Kingdom, I have never heard of it, that is, I heard that the new emperor is in power, why not come to congratulate him in person, sneaky here? ā€

Each of them looked around, and the sentry drew his saber with a choking sound, and shouted: "You lowly barbarians, such a great crime of disrespect, it is really a crime that deserves death, why don't you get off your horse quickly and be captured?" (To be continued.) )
