Gu Zhenhua and Tian Jianxiu both twisted three sticks of incense in their hands, respectfully inserted them in front of the spiritual seat, and then bowed down. After doing this, Gu Zhenhua retreated from the room.
Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but sigh: "Ji Guogong, we only know that the Qing army has divided its troops, it must be the credit of An **, but I didn't expect that it was 6 girls who assassinated Duoduo, which was really unexpected!" ”
"Hey, in fact, women should be husbands and children, and it is really a shame for my generation to rely on them to fight the enemy." Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but hang his head and said.
Dodor was very happy when he died, but after this joy, it turned out to be a kind of heartache. Such a strong and intelligent woman, she really shouldn't be allowed to carry too many things, in the final analysis, the military is not strong, and she has to use these villain methods!
Tian Jianxiu smiled bitterly: "Ji Guogong is reasonable, but the enemy in front of me is strong and I am weak, so I can't wait to be killed!" ”
"Well, what Marquis Tian said is that the dead are gone, and those who are alive should think about the future." Gu Zhenhua said: "In the next step, the Tartars will definitely retaliate, and the attack will only be more ferocious." We still have to think carefully about how to deal with the next offensive. ”
When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand: "Ji Guogong, coming here this time, I have seen the sincerity of An **, and I have also seen the ability of Grandpa Guo, and the battle on the front line of Henan will depend on you." On behalf of Wei Hui and other places, the Dashun army expressed a position, and we all obeyed orders, and there was no ambiguity! ”
"Hahaha, Marquis Tian, the so-called brothers are united, and their profits are gold. Benjue also hopes to really join hands with the Dashun army to fight the enemy, otherwise he can't defeat the enemy. ”
The two talked happily, and Gu Zhenhua immediately invited Tian Jianxiu to participate in the military meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
A huge sand table was placed in front of everyone. The mountains and rivers in the north of Henan are all in sight. During this period of time, An** has been working hard to operate the defense line and constantly strengthen the fortifications, and now the entire defense system is quite complete.
Li Jibo introduced: "At present, there are 16,000 infantry on the front line. Two thousand cavalry, a total of eighteen thousand. In addition, there are 3,000 second-line garrisons and about 37,000 people. This is all the forces that can be used, compared to the Tartars, our forces are in absolute weakness, so how to hold Henan. It's a problem that everyone has to face. ”
Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi were both watching, and Tian Jianxiu suddenly said: "Grandpa Guo, since we have joined forces, we should not count the Dashun army, we can also kill the Tartars and make war achievements!" ”
Yuan Zongdi patted his chest and said: "An ** is a good man." We are not a bad breed, Grandpa Guo, if there is any task, you can just assign it. ”
Li Jibo rolled his eyelids and couldn't help but say: "Two marquis, this time you are fighting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you are dead or alive. There is no advance or retreat, but you can't escape lightly. ”
These words are clearly revealing the shortcomings of Liukou, and Tian Jianxiu's face is also gloomy: "The eldest husband is difficult to chase after him, if An ** still doesn't believe us, Tian is willing to make a military order." ”
"I naturally trust Marquis Tian, but I don't know how many troops you have?"
"This, we have more than 20,000 elite soldiers stationed in Huaiqing, and the rest of the people also have 50,000 or 60,000. It's worth a war. ”
Gu Zhenhua, who is familiar with the Liukou battle, is not very interested in this number, the Liukou has always counted all the men, women and children together, it seems that tens of thousands of people, half of them are young and strong. It is said that it is 20,000 elite soldiers. I'm afraid that according to the standard of An**, it would be good to have three or five thousand.
However, Gu Zhenhua didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the Dashun Army, besides, these people couldn't be used as the main force, couldn't they be cannon fodder!
Gu Zhenhua thought of this and said with a smile: "Since the Dashun Army is eager to resist the Qing Dynasty, I think it should be considered as a whole." Tian Hou Ye, in addition to strengthening the defense of Huaiqing, I built a special army to send a detachment of men and horses to advance out of Yazikou and between Bailu Mountain to prevent the Qing army from advancing westward into Huaiqing, and at the same time relying on mountain warfare to attack the back road of the Tartars and disrupt their two roads. ”
There is no garbage in this world, there are just misplaced resources!
When it comes to fighting, Gu Zhenhua may look down on the Dashun army, but pulling the team and causing trouble, this is their forte, the first line of Yazikou and Bailu Mountain is backed by Taihang Mountain, the mountains overlap, and there is a lot of room for detours. If the Dashun army can stand here, it can enter Shanxi to the west and disrupt the progress of the Qing army's attack on northern Shaanxi, and to the south it can enter the Zhangde Daimyo and block the Qing army's back road.
Tian Jianxiu looked at it, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandpa Guo, rest assured, this is the place where the Dashun army is martial arts, and we promise to drag the Qing army." ”
"Marquis Tian, there is nothing else, fighting in the mountains, it is more important to save yourself than to destroy the enemy. As for how to do it, Tian Hou Ye is more experienced than me, so I won't say more. ”
After arranging Tian Jianxiu, Gu Zhenhua said again: "This time, the Qing army will attack again, and it is very likely that it will carry a large number of artillery. Don't underestimate the Tartars, as a group of robbers, their firearms are also quite sophisticated. In the past, we fought with superior firepower, but this time it is very likely that we will face a double weakness in firepower and strength. ”
"Grandpa Guo, don't worry, no matter what, we can beat the Tartar to the point of urine!"
Li Xu patted his chest and said. The other An ** generals also nodded frequently.
How can a strong army, suffering and victory!
Suffering, there is no shortage of peace!
Victory, even more ever.
Different from other armies, An ** has a high-spirited momentum, they will not be superstitious about the invincible nonsense of the Jurchen soldiers, nor will they blindly despise the Qing army, they have a strong self-confidence and can control the rhythm of battle!
This is the soul of a strong army, and because of this, An ** dares to counterattack in an unfavorable state, dare to face difficulties, and bravely rush forward!
"Well, with confidence, we've won half of the game, and the next half is up to everyone. According to my estimates, it is very likely that the Tartars will attack Jixian directly, and our outer defense must be in place. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhenhua looked at Fang Jianming and couldn't help asking, "How is the construction of the breastwork?" ”
"Grandpa Guo rest assured. Within five miles of Ji County, we have built a large number of breastwork, and between the various breastwork, we have also set up all kinds of traps, which are very powerful. ”
Although Fang Jianming did not say it explicitly. But Gu Zhenhua knows that he is very safe, and since he dares to say this, it means that there is absolutely no problem with the fortification system.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua had a trace of expectation for the next battle.
Come on! Take a look at it. Who is the most powerful army!
didn't let Gu Zhenhua wait too long, just entered December, and on the third day, Haoge led the main force of the Qing army to feel Qi County, and Wu Sangui led his subordinates to greet Haoge.
As soon as they met, Hauge's face was gloomy. It's like the bottom of the pot.
"King Pingxi, the Holy Admiral handed over the military power to you, which is to let you share the worries of the Holy Lord and do your best to eliminate An**. But you had to fail to win, and you repeatedly lost troops and generals, affecting the prestige of the army, which is really insulting to the prestige of the Qing Dynasty! ”
"Incompetent. Please punish the prince! ”
Wu Sangui was very single, and directly admitted it, which made Haoge punch the cotton, and there was no room for prestige.
"Get up, Your Majesty didn't punish you, and the regent didn't ask for your guilt, how can I have this qualification, but I just hope that King Pingxi can show his true skills, don't let this king down again!"
After Haoge taught Wu Sangui a lesson, he was surrounded by everyone. came to the commander of the Chinese army, Haoge sat in Wu Sangui's position, and everyone else stood aside.
Hauge glanced at the audience and couldn't help but say, "How do you think this battle should be fought?" ”
At this time, Man Dahai, who was standing at the end, suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Haoge.
"The sinners are willing to lead a detachment. Act as a pioneer, attack Ji County, capture Gu Zhenhua alive, and wash away the shame on your body! ”
Haoge saw that Man Dahai was so positive, so he smiled and said: "Okay, this is the spirit of the Qing warriors, tomorrow morning, you will lead the team to attack the periphery of Ji County, Shi Tingzhu will lead the artillery to provide cover for Mandahai, and strive for the first battle to be effective."
"Don't worry, don't worry, you will do your best."
After the Qing army made proper arrangements, they hurriedly prepared for war. By the next day, before dawn, Man Dahai put on three layers of armor and packed up neatly. He knew very well that Duoduo died, and he didn't go to the funeral, which was already a great gift, and when he arrived in front of the two armies, he had to fight for his life and still have a way to live.
Even if he died, his family would not be implicated, otherwise he was afraid that Dorgon would take the opportunity to destroy his three clans.
It can be said that Man Dahai fought with a mortal heart, and Haoge gave him 2,000 armored soldiers, 3,000 Han army banner firecrackers, and some traitors' miscellaneous soldiers as cannon fodder, all of which add up, and these people are also in their early 10,000s.
Mandahai was still full of ambition, and in the morning light, the banner of the Tartar soldiers appeared on the horizon, facing the rising sun, which was particularly dazzling.
The sound of horns, the rumble of war drums, and the shouting of people and horses all gathered together, and the powerful enemy pressed towards An**.
Last time, Wu Sangui attacked Qimen Town, wanting to get through Guò and open the north gate of Ji County, but this time Man Dahai didn't do peripheral work, he started directly from the periphery of Ji County.
With the cold winter coming, the Wei River has frozen, according to Man Dahai's estimate, the army can effortlessly rush to the city of Jixian, and the next thing is to fight.
But apparently he miscalculated, and on the land north of the Wei River, three walls less than a person high were erected, blocking between Tartar and An**.
At the time of Wu Sangui's attack, these walls were not there, and they were obviously the latest. After Man Dahai saw it, he pursed his lips.
"It's a dream to want to block the warriors of the Qing Dynasty by leaning on a few walls!"
"Rush me!"
Before the artillery was ready, Man Dahai directly attacked, but this guy still had a trace of proportion, he first sent some "Ahha", that is, slaves.
Among the Eight Banners, the soldiers are divided into three ranks, namely the Bannerman, the Armored Man, and the Aha Bannerman. The so-called Aha is the captured Han Chinese, Korean slaves. Most of the people in armor are surrendered to the army, and as for the bannermen, they must be Jurchens, and the father dies and the son succeeds.
The first batch sent by Mandahai was 200 Ahha, and they tried to attack An**.
The men rushed towards the breastwork. Some of them were pushing carts, some were holding shields, and some were holding bows and arrows, and one by one they bent over and walked like flying.
Don't look at their low status, but they have been fighting with the Tartars for many years, and they are very skilled and experienced, and they quickly rushed to within a hundred steps.
At that moment, a line of soldiers suddenly poured out from behind the first breastwork, each crouching with black muzzles, aimed at these ahabs.
"Put!"
Tang Zhanxiong gave an order, and a row of gunpowder smoke rang out, and suddenly countless bullets hit the Ahabs. These people are not qualified to wear armor, they are all flesh and blood, where can they resist the power of lead bullets.
An Aha was shot in the chest, a buckshot smashed a fist-sized hole, blood gushed out, internal organs were blown all over the sky, the guy fell a dozen steps hard, and suddenly ran out of breath.
The people around him were slightly stunned, their heads were knocked off, leaving only half of their bodies, and blood kept coming out of their chests.
In a round of guns, more than 20 Aha were killed, and the soldiers behind continued to shoot, and the dense three-stage blows killed and injured a large number of Ahha.
The assault team was visibly reduced. But after all, they are long-standing enemies, and these Ahabs are very brave, and finally some of them rushed into the range of fifty or sixty steps.
One by one, they drew their bows and arrows, raised their firearms, and shot towards An **.
Ping Pong, the bow and arrow hit the chest wall, and it couldn't be shot at all, and the fire bolt hit it, and it only smashed a piece of ash. The breastwork made of cement was exceptionally strong, and there was no problem at all in the face of attack.
Tang Zhanxiong was overjoyed, and while the Qing army was still stunned, An ** had already completed the charge.
"Die!"
The smoke of gunpowder sounded again, and the lead bullets hit frantically, and one by one Aha was beaten to the point that his bones were broken, his intestines were rotten, and he fell to the ground.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battlefield was quiet, and a gust of wind blew away the gunsmoke, only to see that the ground was full of Ahha's corpses, and An ** was unharmed.
From thousands of miles away, seeing this situation, Man Dahai's heart suddenly cooled, these breastworks are not decorations, but real threats!
Man Dahai waved his hand and called over two hundred vests, "You go and attack again." ”
These cavalry immediately rushed towards An ** like a bolt of lightning, they were skilled in horsemanship, one by one amazing, in a distance of several hundred meters, An ** only shot three rounds of shooting, killing more than 50 people. Less than a hundred people rushed to the front of the breastwork, and they jerked their horses and jumped over them.
While they were triumphant, they suddenly felt that the horse had stumbled and landed behind the breastwork, and they all fell heavily to the ground, and their arms and legs were broken.
