Chapter 279: The Battle Tide Changes

This is a desperate situation, Mianyu's face is like earth, but out of nowhere came out of nowhere, he hugged the thigh of Monk Greenqin, and cried: "Monk Wangye, the king's net worth and life have been handed over to you, as long as you can return to Hebei, this king is willing to be a brother with you, worship you as a brother, you have to think of a way, you must break through with this king!" ”

When Monk Greenqin was upset, he couldn't kick Mianyu off the watchtower, and he became a brother with Mianyu, it was an itchy neck, Mianyu was Xianfeng's uncle, wouldn't it mean that he had become Xianfeng's uncle?

Glaring at the past fiercely, Seng Lingqin pressed his temperament and said: "Lord Hui is in a hurry, the only way to do this is to take advantage of the weakness of the Democratic Alliance Army's troops at the mouth of the river and seize it back!" ”

Mianyu hurriedly reminded: "Lord Monk, the green battalion soldiers and regimental training are useless, and the Democratic Alliance will be surrendered at any time, this has to be guarded against!" ”

This is indeed a problem, the regimental training and the green battalion at the mouth of the river have been lowered, why can't the army be lowered? The capital of the Democratic Alliance came from the Green Battalion. △ Top Novel, x.

The Democratic Alliance troops in front of them were approaching unhurriedly, and the extremely accurate shells were destroying the artillery of their own side in turn, and Seng Lingqin was anxious, but whether the green battalion surrendered or not was not up to him.

Monk Greenqin turned his eyes to the Shengbao camp on the right side, the green battalion and the regimental training in his own camp have been escorted back to Beijing with the bandit prisoners, and the rest are either Mongols or banner people, the Mongols lost half, about 4,000 left, the battalions in the capital are intact, the total strength is 15,000, there is no possibility of surrendering to the enemy, but the Shengbao battalion is different, except for a few banner generals, the remaining more than 10,000 people are all Han. Can't be trusted at all!

If there is enough time, Seng Lingqin will not hesitate to kill all the Han people in the army. But he didn't, and the NLD army would enter the camp in a quarter of an hour at most. At such times, a decision must be made.

There is a time bomb around him that will be detonated at any time, and the shape is already extremely dangerous, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, and the monk Greenqin called: "Order, Lord Sheng abandoned the village, led his troops to attack the mouth of the river immediately, and the Mongolian cavalry escorted Lord Sheng, and the king authorized the three kings of Zhelimu, Zhuo Suotu, and Zhao Wuda to attack when they saw the opportunity." All battalions in the capital will be intercepted by the king according to the village, and buy time for Lord Sheng! ”

"Yes!" The herald hurried away.

Mianyu said urgently: "Monk Wang, why do we stay by ourselves?" Wouldn't it be safe to practice the palace with the green battalion? ”

Monk Greenqin sighed helplessly: "After the Han army palace, I am afraid that the Democratic Alliance will be surrendered in a few minutes, if there is a mutiny below, Lord Sheng may not be able to suppress it, and you and I will suffer from the enemy in the abdomen, so we can only leave our lives in Linqing and let the Han soldiers attack." After all, the combat effectiveness of the Democratic Alliance Army is obvious to all, and no one wants to confront it. But we stay to do the most dangerous work, and this can't move the Han army?

The NLD army at the mouth of the river was only about 3,000 people, but he had 20,000. With more than six times the number of troops, there should be no rush to surrender. Moreover, there are also the consequences of the Mongol cavalry taking charge and surrendering. You have to weigh it carefully, let's go, Lord Hui, the watchtower has a big target, don't be bombarded by the Democratic Alliance Army, let's go down and mobilize the soldiers. ”

Mianyu thought about it, there was indeed no more suitable arrangement than Monk Lingqin, and left the watchtower in a hurry.

Soon, the Qing army camp was mobilized in bursts of soldiers and horses, and Seng Lingqin and Mianyu convened all the banner people to give an urgent lecture, in fact, there is no need to say much, the banner people understood their situation, and as soon as they mobilized, they made up their minds to fight to the death, because the Han army had the possibility of surrendering, but they died if they surrendered or not, even if a considerable part of them were the eight banners of the Han army, it was useless.

Although they are both Han Chinese, the Taiping Army killed the Eight Banners of the Han Army more ruthlessly than the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the years of its mobilization!

Wang Feng also holds a similar point of view, after all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army are actually traitors, and they are old traitors who have been for two hundred years, which is essentially different from the conquered and enslaved Han people, although the invaders are hateful, but they are enemies of life and death, nothing more than life and death, this is a racial dispute, there is nothing to say.

Traitors are more hateful than devils, without traitors, where are the devils' troops enough? Therefore, Wang Feng will not care about the feelings of blood, and will not let go of any of the eight banners of the Han Army, being a traitor is to pay a price, it is by no means a sentence of righteousness can be done anyway, but to completely liquidate the crimes, including the crimes committed by the eighteenth generation of ancestors, in addition to raiding the family and destroying the family, but also to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, so that the people of the whole country can establish the concept of not wanting to be, not daring to be, and not being a traitor!

Standing on the mound of dirt, Wang Feng, who was observing the Qing army camp, suddenly sighed lightly: "Monk Greenqin's soldiers for more than ten years have no belts in vain, and he actually left the palace by himself, it seems that it is not so easy to persuade the green camp to surrender." ”

Lu Dayou also observed for a while, and hesitated: "Commander-in-chief, the Qing army only uses the banner army to defend one camp, and the Han army in the other camp has been dispatched, we might as well surround but not attack, with the strength of guarding the left flank from the empty camp past, and the brothers guarding the mouth of the river can be flanked back and forth, or can force the Han army to surrender in the north, and then turn back to encircle and annihilate the monk Greenqin, if the monk Greenqin sends troops to rescue, it can be suppressed outside the village, this is much easier than attacking the camp, do you think it will work?" ”

"Good!" Wang Feng shouted loudly: "Lu Dayou, I am more and more convinced that you have the ability to stand alone, you transfer the command of the first division to me, you yourself will lead the army in pursuit in the past, and I will give you the right to dispose of the opportunity!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Dayou saluted excitedly, and jumped off the mound in three steps and two steps.

It didn't take long for the Democratic Alliance army to stop attacking the Qing army camp, and the army on the left began to quickly penetrate the Qing army's green camp camp, and Tang Caifang on Linqing City also shouted loudly: "Commander Wang is really good at the art of war, and if Monk Green can't come out of the nest, then attack him and save him, see if he can't get out, okay!" ”

At this time, Tang Caifang seemed to have forgotten who had said not long ago that Wang Feng did not understand the art of war.

Monk Lingqin and Mianyu both changed color, although there were only more than 1,000 people chasing after them, but the strong combat effectiveness of the Democratic Alliance Army made them dare not take it lightly.

Mianyu hurriedly said: "Monk Wangye, do you want to send an army to block it?" ”

Monk Lingqin fell into an extreme dilemma, don't look at the more than 30,000 troops in his hands, but in fact compared to the Democratic Alliance army is not advantageous, to attack the estuary of the army, together with the Mongolian cavalry in the battle, a total of more than 20,000, if everyone to die, may not be able to overcome it in one fell swoop, it is likely to be a long battle, which means that the troops that can be mobilized are only nearly 10,000 banner troops.

On the other hand, there are more than 5,000 people on the side of the Democratic Alliance, almost two to one, two to one, and they are fighting out of the village, giving up their innate advantages in defense, and the chances of winning are very small.

"Huh!" Monk Greenqin sighed heavily: "I regret that I shouldn't believe in Shengbao's words, and garrison the camp with the whole army, so that the estuary was taken and fell into such a field, I should have directly used cavalry to destroy the division of the Democratic Alliance Army going north on both roads, with the estuary in hand, even if the camp was taken away, what could I do?" They all complained that the king gave a hasty order without detecting the enemy's situation! ”

Monk Lingqin seemed to have forgotten who was really giving the order, he was stunned for a while, and then shook his head and said: "You can't send troops to support, so as to prevent being weakened by the Democratic Alliance Army point by point, come here, quickly go to give the order, and the three kings of Shengbao, Zhelimu, Zhuo Suotu, and Zhaowuda will choose the opportunity to attack and pursue the enemy!" ”

"Wow!" The herald flew on his horse and galloped away.

Monk Greenqin's choice is not correct or not, or rather, the cruel reality forced him to have no choice, he can only gamble, bet on whether the more than 20,000 troops outside can defeat the pursuit of more than 1,000 people of the Democratic Alliance, if defeated, the hope of seizing the estuary will be greatly increased, and even the defeat is not impossible, but if it is helpless against the other party, then the final outcome, I am afraid that no one in the banner army can survive.

The current battlefield can be divided into two parts, one is that the main force of the Qing army led by Seng Lingqin and the main force of the Democratic Alliance Army confronted each other, and was temporarily in a state of calm.

The other is the war that is about to take place at the mouth of the river, and the comparison of forces is that the two brigades of the Democratic Alliance Army stationed at the mouth of the river and one brigade pursuing from behind, and more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry are trained against the green battalion of the Qing army, which will determine the trend of the entire war.

The development of two distinct battlefields was something that everyone did not expect, including a group of Taiping soldiers at the head of Linqing City, and after explaining that their subordinates were in a hurry to slack off, several high-ranking officials hurriedly chased the direction of the Democratic Alliance Army's northward advance.

Lu Dayou led the 1,600 people of the Democratic Alliance Army all the way, limited by the canal and the city wall, the terrain shrank the further forward, similar to an irregular right-angled triangle, the narrowest point is only a hundred zhang wide from the city wall, the apex of the triangle is the mouth of the river, about three miles away from the north city wall.

Shengbao led the green battalion to run quickly at a distance of four to five miles from the Democratic Alliance army, and he was extremely anxious, worried about the mutiny, you know, in addition to hundreds of banner men in the army, all of them are green battalions and regimental training, and it doesn't matter if they stay in peacetime, but at this time, it is equivalent to being in a pack of wolves, once the mutiny happens, it is impossible to run, and the only way to stop the mutiny is to capture the estuary and regain control of the retreat, and pay any price for it!

"Lord Sheng, there are Democratic Alliance troops chasing after you!" At this moment, a horse came galloping and called out loudly.

"What?" Sheng Bao suddenly shuddered, turned his head and looked, sure enough, fortunately, there were not too many chasing soldiers, which made him a little relieved, and quickly turned his head and said: "The Democratic Alliance army is bullying people too much, and I hope that a few princes will return to the division to let him eat hard." ”

Shengbao is surrounded by three Mongolian princes, all of them are embarrassed, half of the Mongolian cavalry is dead, Monk Greenqin is still distressed, after all, he is an official of the Qing court, and he has lived in Beijing for a long time, but these three people are living in the Mongolian steppe, and the dead are all their subordinates, they are their people, that is the three hearts are dripping blood, and then turn back to fight with the Democratic Alliance, how many people have to die?

They have developed a fear of the NLD forces. (To be continued......)
