Chapter 282: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Sheng Bao burst into tears, and brought out all his old background, popularizing the knowledge of the real living conditions of ordinary flag people to the soldiers. Top Novel, www.
Wang Feng had no intention of concealment, and said coldly: "Lord Sheng, I didn't listen to you cry poor, and our Democratic Alliance Army is not called Huazi, what's the use of keeping a person who is only worth a thousand taels of silver?" I'm going to attack Seng Lingqin now, and when I come back, I hope you can come up with an amount that satisfies me, your time is running out, if you want to live, show some sincerity! ”
Sheng Bao is not reluctant to spend money, but he can only take out such a little silver, in fact, he also knows that a thousand taels of silver does not match his identity as a minister, and looking at Wang Feng's tone, even if he scrapes together and borrows a few thousand taels, it will be useless, I am afraid that when Wang Feng comes back, it will be the moment when he dies under the gun!
Seeing that Wang Feng was leaving, Shengbao was in a hurry!
Maybe it's because people are in a hurry and can always stimulate some potential, the moment Wang Feng took a step, Sheng Bao had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly called: "Lord Wang, slow down!" ”
"Oh?" Wang Feng turned his head to look over.
Sheng Bao said urgently: "Lord Wang, do you want to know the whereabouts of Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang?" ”
"Li Kaifang? Lin Fengxiang? Wang Feng muttered to himself, his main purpose in going north was to save Su Sanniang, of course, he was happy to be able to relieve the siege of Lin and Li easily, after all, Hong Xuanjiao had commented that these two people were extremely righteous, and it was good to be able to exert kindness.
Although Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang are not handsome, they are at least generals, and the firearms of the Taiping Army are far inferior to even the Qing Army. But these two people were stunned to fight for thousands of miles, and only led the lone army to break through to the core ruling area of the Qing court. It's already quite commendable.
"Tell me about it!" Wang Feng asked lightly.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Sheng Bao hurriedly said: "Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were broken by the monk and the prince a few days ago. The prisoners and more than 4,000 people below were escorted to the Qing City yesterday to persuade Su Sanniang to surrender, so they crossed the river to the north and sent them to Beijing.
You know the consequences of this sent to Beijing, but you will not be executed immediately, but you will first edict the people, worship the ancestors and tell the heavens, it will be delayed for about two or three days, and the sin will think that you can go north to rescue Su Sanniang. Presumably they won't ignore Lin Li Erbu."
Sheng Bao was still nagging and analyzing cause and effect, and Wang Feng interrupted impatiently: "What do you want to say?" Speak up! ”
"Yes, yes!" Sheng Bao gritted his teeth: "If you can annihilate the monk and the prince in time, you can go to the city of Beijing to take the criminal general and his subordinates as hostages, and exchange General Lin Li Er and Fa Bu, all the captured soldiers of the Taiping Army, it is expected that you will be grateful to Dade, and it will be used by you, and with your strength." Don't worry about security, nearly half of Beijing's troops have come out, and the rest will be stationed in the city, how dare you provoke you! ”
After speaking. Sheng Bao's eyes were full of expectation, and he stared at Wang Feng, including the other bannermen. Even the Mongols are a masterpiece of mid-term wings!
In fact, Shengbao's words are three points true and seven points false. The total strength of Beijing was about 1,400 imperial guards and 7,080 firearms battalions. There are 14,000 Shenji battalions, 4,000 Jianrui battalions, about 30,000 under the Admiral of Jiumen, 600 tiger gun battalions, 1,080 forward battalions, 21,000 Manmeng Hanbu military camps, 1,080 patrol battalions, and tens of thousands of the rest of the green battalions and various battalions, with a total strength of more than 100,000!
These troops are not completely stationed in the city of Beijing, the Manchurian Eight Banners are stationed outside the city, such as the famous Xiangshan Battalion, Xishan Battalion and Fengtai Battalion and other Outer Three Banner Battalions, nearly half of the troops brought out by Seng Lingqin and Mianyu are only the troops stationed in the city, at least 30,000 directly under the Admiral of the Nine Gates, that is, not a single soldier has been mobilized.
At the same time, there are Chahar and Hebei Green Camp near Beijing, and even in case of emergency, troops can be transferred from Tianjin and Shenyang, and there is a difference between the capital and Jiangnan, Jiangnan is far away from the ruling core, and has had a painful experience of being slaughtered, and there is a certain centrifugal tendency towards the Qing court, which is more obvious the more south, what Heaven and Earth Society, Red Flower Society, and Xiaodao Society base camp are in the Fujian and Guangzhou regions, with a deep mass base, and they are completely suppressed.
The capital area is densely populated with powerful people, large manors everywhere, it is the base camp of the Manchu and Han landlord class, and the interests of the Qing court are closely related, it is a relationship between prosperity and loss, and it is the representative of the conservative forces, and there is no interest in the reforms implemented by the Democratic Alliance, and only hopes to maintain the status quo, if Wang Feng comes, he will organize armed defense of the Qing court at any time!
Shengbao's purpose is to lure Wang Feng to Beijing, it is naturally best to be replaced, and then take a step back and say, no matter whether the exchange is successful or not, Xianfeng will not sit back and watch Wang Feng swagger away, and in the process of sending troops to besiege and kill, maybe he can find a chance to escape.
In short, for Shengbao, it is better to give it a try than to do nothing, otherwise Wang Feng will be a dead end when he comes back from attacking Seng Lingqin.
On the one hand, the closed terrain of Linqing limits the possibility of breaking through, and the sharp guns of the Democratic Alliance Army have reduced this possibility indefinitely, on the other hand, due to the surrender of the Green Battalion without a fight, the ratio of troops has changed significantly, and the morale of the army will be more or less affected.
Wang Feng fell into a deep groan, and for a long time, he glanced at Shengbao meaningfully, and said: "Lord Sheng, you think too highly of yourself, you are not worth the price, but for the sake of your information, let you live for a few more days, come, the captives will be strictly guarded, and those who are not tied up will be tied up, and then a brigade at the mouth of the river will be summoned to secretly return to help, so that the Qing army will find out the whereabouts, catch turtles in the urn today, and capture Monk Greenqin and Mianyu alive!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers divided several people to give orders, and the rest pulled out ropes in twos and bundles, while Wang Feng walked forward quickly.
And in the camp, Mianyu was already frightened, with blue lips and white teeth, and the six gods had no owner, repeatedly turning around Monk Greenqin, and muttering over and over again what to do, Monk Greenqin finally couldn't bear it, and roared: "Enough, Lord Hui, can you defeat the Democratic Alliance in a hurry?" We're in a dead end, calm down! ”
"Monk Wangye, it's all up to you!" Mianyu pleaded with a sad face, at this time, Monk Greenqin became his last straw, even if he was offended, he didn't care.
Monk Greenqin took a deep breath, and looked at it, the soldiers' faces were like earth, looking straight at the re-approaching Democratic Alliance army in front of them, not even the most basic defensive preparations, not one or two, but most of them, obviously frightened, if it weren't for the bannerman, I'm afraid it would have been lowered a long time ago, and it is precisely because of this that there is a chance to fight to the death.
Monk Lingqin suddenly shouted: "Brothers, if the Democratic Alliance Army doesn't give us a way to live, do you just stretch your neck and wait to be stabbed?" You are the elite soldiers of the capital, and the bandits still know that killing one is enough, and killing two is enough to make money, why are you not as good as the bandits?
Today, only the determination to break the kettle and sink the boat, put it to death and then live, there is a glimmer of life, you are the heroic descendants of the heroic Jurchens, your ancestors with hundreds of thousands of horses into the Chinese flower world, what a heroic feat is this? Why can't you get to you?
Today, there are foreigners, bandits, twisters, and the Democratic League army is in turmoil, my Qing Dynasty is in danger, the emperor is in danger, we are the emperor's servants, it is we who need to defend with blood, brothers, show courage, even if it is death, but also to die bravely, do not lose the face of your ancestors, come, now listen to the king's orders, Jianrui battalion, foreign firearms battalion, two wings forward battalion, eight banners guard battalion and patrol five battalions each guard the camp area, anyone who dares to retreat half a step back, will not be forgiven! ”
"Wow!" The bannermen agreed in unison, and each of them stood up for the base, and their morale was slightly boosted.
In the difficult waiting, "Bang~~" in the Democratic Alliance Army, the sound of artillery sounded again, with the previous continuous shooting as a reference, the shells hit the wall with great accuracy, each cannon hit a huge gap of three to four feet, and the back of the camp tent and the flag soldiers in the battalion were unobstructed.
The Democratic Alliance Army is very scattered, steadily advancing from two directions, and the surrendered green battalion regimental training has also been used, after hastily screening, temporarily recruiting 5,000 people to block the other direction, and the remaining Linqing City does not need to be defended, even if it crosses, there is still a brigade of troops left at the mouth of the river!
Seeing that the Democratic Alliance army was about to close up, although Seng Lingqin gave the order to fight to the death, the officers and soldiers were helpless, and the guns and artillery could not go far, which was the most important thing for human life.
"Bang bang~~" Suddenly, the gunfire was loud, and bullets were fired into the camp, and there was almost nothing to cover in the camp except for some artillery mount vehicles.
The screams are everywhere, although they are not dense, but they are continuous, which is different from attacking the estuary camp, attacking the estuary needs to be in a hurry, so it is necessary to rush to attack, and at this time, the situation of closing the door and beating the dog has been formed, so the Democratic Alliance army is not in a hurry to enter the camp, but just stands in the distance and shoots, the Qing army does not talk about shooting and firing artillery, and even the head cannot be raised.
"Damn, I can't stand it, brothers, follow me!" At this time, an officer of the patrol battalion couldn't bear it and waved his hand violently!
You must know that the patrol battalion is equivalent to the special forces in Wang Feng's army, which is to protect the emperor, and he has always been arrogant, and he can't fight back just by being beaten, how can he stand it?
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers of the patrol battalion rushed out with their guns screaming, and the Democratic Alliance troops raised their guns one after another like old cats that smelled fishy!
"Ahh The dense screams were continuous, although the patrol battalion was brave, but there was no chance of hand-to-hand combat, so they were shot and fell to the ground, and in a short time, the corpses of the horizontal and vertical rows of people lay down on the ground, and all of them were killed!
With the experience of patrolling the battalion, no one dares to be reckless, and can only bear the spicy taste of not fighting back, and with the passage of time, the gathered heart of death is gradually dissipating, this is no longer a matter of killing the enemy with blood and bravery, but having the intention to kill the enemy but being powerless, and the heart is full of despair. (To be continued......)
