Tianjin is worthy of being a key point on land and water, only in Tianjin, the Qing court stationed nearly 20,000 soldiers, and as a David and land and water wharf, the grain here is also very much, after taking Tianjin City, Zeng Yang immediately sent someone to count the harvest, only the grain is enough, there are 400,000 stones, enough for all the soldiers of the Mawei Army to eat and drink for a year. However, this is not the biggest gain, the biggest gain is this Tianjin city, if Tianjin is taken, then the Mawei Army will have a fixed stronghold in the north, as long as it holds here, then the Qing court will be completely chaotic.

"Commander-in-chief, the reconnaissance brigade has reported that the Qing reinforcements from the capital have passed through Langfang and arrived at the location of the Yongding River, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the city of Tianjin this evening. Does the commander think we should go out of the city to meet this reinforcement? Jin Yinghu, the commander of the Fourth Division, said with a smile. On the tower of the north gate of Tianjin City, Zeng Yangxing is observing this Tianjin city with a telescope, Tianjin City is also a prosperous city in the end, this time the Mawei army attacked the city that is the east gate of the town is damaged, and there is no loss in other places.

"Why, I'm in a hurry. Don't worry, if we don't take the initiative to catch up, the Qing court army will also take the initiative to come to us. It is estimated that the news of our takeover of Tianjin City should also reach their ears, and they will not rush here this evening. They only have a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and we also have 20,000, and this Qing army reinforcements will not rush in. In any case, it is necessary to wait for the Qing court to send a force again, and the two armies will come together before they dare to attack the city. ”

"Also, it's a fool's dream that their forces want to take us down. I think they would have gathered an army of about 50,000 before they attacked. Then again. If this city is guarded by us. Even if the Qing army came with 100,000 soldiers and horses, they wanted to climb the city wall. When the time comes, let them have a good look at our combat power! Jin Yinghu said confidently.

"Our task is to take Tianjin City first, and after this is consolidated, we will have a chance to walk around the edge of the capital. This Tianjin city is also a bit chaotic, and the ordinary people here are not very cooperative, and the streets are deserted. Tomorrow, after cleaning up this side, drag Prince Nakang out of the street to cut it down, and hit the morale of the Qing court. If Jieshu is the head, it is estimated that he will also be the highest-ranking Qing court official who died under us since the beginning of the war. "I put down the binoculars. glanced at Jin Yinghu and said.

"That's what the commander-in-chief said. As far as his subordinates know, the proportion of Manchurians in this Tianjin City is not small, and there are still Manchurian industries on the streets everywhere, so many of the Eight Banners disciples were frightened and didn't dare to come out at all. The subordinates are trying to ask the commander-in-chief, do these people in this city want to arrest all these people? Jin Yinghu restrained his smile and asked in a deep voice.

Zeng Yangxing didn't think much about it, and immediately raised his right arm to stop it: "No need, the majority governor has an order, our task is only to kill the Qing army on the battlefield." As long as it is on the battlefield, whether it is a Qing army general or a soldier, they will kill no one and leave no one. But these ordinary people don't touch them. Besides, you go and kill those unarmed ordinary people, what do you do? As for those high-ranking officials of the Qing court, killing them like Jieshu can hit the morale of the Qing army. And if you kill some ordinary people, one will completely arouse the anger of the Qing court and make them take revenge frantically, and more importantly, it will also make the world say that we are the Mawei Army, and even more will say that our Metropolitan Governor is cruel and unkind, and then you will be a sinner! ”

"My subordinates know it's wrong!" Jin Yinghu originally had some murderous intent, and wanted to kill all the banner people in the city to prevent future troubles, but after listening to Zeng Yang's words, cold sweat suddenly came out on his back.

"Let's hurry up and repair the gate tower at the east gate of the town, and leave this guy to the people in the city to do. You put up a notice to reassure the people, and you also attached information on recruiting people's husbands. Anyone who helped the Mawei army to build the castle tower was rewarded with ten silver dollars per day, and they were given on the spot to dispel their doubts. In ancient times, Shang Yang was able to erect wood at the south gate, and today we can also repair the wall at the east gate. If ten silver dollars can't recruit people, then mention twenty dollars, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward. When the time comes, with the new atmosphere of our Mawei Army and the autumn, the people in the city will be able to settle down quickly! ”

"High! The commander-in-chief is really high! It's just that these twenty yuan are too much, I'm afraid that if I don't need those brothers in the people's army, they will rush to do it! Jin Yinghu pulled the corners of his mouth and asked. These twenty silver dollars are equivalent to twenty taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money. Now the ordinary soldiers of the Fujian Mawei Army are only less than 30 silver dollars a year, and these 20 yuan is more than half a year's salary!

"We should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, we want to gain a foothold in Tianjin City, we can't do it without the support of the people, do we have to use guns to force the people to do everything at that time? So what have we become? The Metropolitan Governor knows that we have to be split! Okay, that's it, you still have to urge the navy to quickly unload all the cannons defending the city, forget about the east gate of the town, there are our warships on the Haihe River, and the Qing army is not so stupid to attack from the east gate of the town. A few more gates should be placed on the north gate, and the most likely main direction of attack of the Qing army is here. ”

"Haole, when the Qing army arrives, let it learn our methods! We're done with this big fish! ”

Time flies, and the 20,000 Qing troops who went to support Tianjin City did not expect that Tianjin City would be taken by the Mawei Army in only one day, and they had only walked more than half of the way at this time. It was simply unrealistic for 20,000 men and horses to attack a city garrisoned by 20,000 rebels, so the commander of the army, the deputy commander of the white flag, Min Baxi, immediately stopped his march and sent people back to the capital to implore Kangxi to continue to increase his troops. There were soldiers and horses in the capital, but they couldn't all be dialed over, so they had to wait for three days. Let the North Korea's 30,000 soldiers and horses follow. Assist in the attack on the city of Tianjin. did not wait for the holy decree to be delivered to the Korean soldiers. Kangxi's second holy decree also came to General Sheng Jing, so that his soldiers and horses would also go to attack Tianjin, and he must recapture Tianjin as quickly as possible.

The time was delayed for five days, and the news that Tianjin City was captured by the Mawei Army also spread all over the world. This is undoubtedly like thunder in winter, which shocked everyone in the world, and the generals of the Qing army everywhere strictly ordered the news to be blocked as soon as they got the news, so as not to hit the morale of the army, but this news is full of concealment. There was still gossip that reached the ears of the soldiers, which made the Qing defenders everywhere panic. If Tianjin is lost, it means that the capital may fall at any time, and it is really in danger, if the capital falls, then the Qing Dynasty will really be over. As a result, the recapture of Tianjin became the most important task of the Qing court now.

"Commander-in-chief, there are really a lot of Qing troops!" Standing on the head of Gongbei Gate, Jin Yinghu put down the binoculars and said to Zeng Yangxing with a cold face.

On their side. The other commanders of the Mawei Army, Zhang Wenliang of the Second Division, were also here. Now guarding the city, this side of the north gate is under the responsibility of the second division. After Zhang Wenliang put down the binoculars, his face was equally grim. This time, the Qing army is really willing to spend money, and the soldiers and horses outside are definitely not less than 60,000. If they can't take Tianjin this time, then the Qing court will be in turmoil. In other words, this Min Baxi will inevitably be like a mad dog, and he will not let go when he catches Tianjin. This also means that the battle in Tianjin may last for a long time. Even if they lose this battle, they will continue to make a comeback.

"The more you come, the better!" Zeng Yangxing held the telescope and said calmly.

What he saw through the telescope was a black head. Due to the large number of people, only human heads can be seen. In the middle is the head of the Qing army, and on the right side of the Qing army is still the head of the Korean army. This soldier and horse with a white flag is at the front, and the armor is white, which is quite dazzling.

"That's the North Korean soldiers and horses over there, why are they here too! These guys in North Korea really can't change their, I remember that the Metropolitan Governor said, doesn't this North Korea hate the Qing court? Why did you still send troops to assist the Qing court? ”

"It doesn't matter why he is here, as long as he is here, he is our enemy, and he will beat me hard later!" Zeng Yang coldly commanded.

The Great War, right now!

After arriving in Tianjin, the Qing court soldiers and horses began to unfold slowly. Their movements were not very fast, and they slowly extended towards the west gate and south gate of Tianjin in an orderly manner, but avoided the east gate of the town, and finally firmly surrounded the other two city gates. If the deployment of the general army is as fast as a flood, the deployment of the Qing army is a mudslide. Compared with floods, the smell of death brought by mudslides is even stronger. It is also more difficult to break free from the mudslide. It is basically impossible for people buried underneath by mudslides to survive.

"Knock knock!" Thirty solid bullets weighing more than ten catties fell heavily, covering the entire Gongbei Gate and the surrounding area. The Qing army knew that the cannons of the Mawei Army were sharp, so they hid their own red-clothed cannons quite tightly, and the cannons were set up nearly two miles away, and that area happened to be a small forest.

"Poof...... Thundered! "I don't know where the scaffolding was, it was knocked down by the cannonballs, and it made a messy sound. I don't know where the wall is, and something has knocked it down, making an even more chaotic sound. From a distance, you can still see the rising dust.

The Qing army brought a total of 30 red-coated cannons, and the first round of these 30 cannons was not accurate, and most of them did not hit the city, but in this way, there were still more than 30 casualties among the officers and men of the Mawei Army. There were so many casualties on his side before he hit him, Zhang Wenliang's eyes suddenly turned red, damn, the tiger is not threatening, you are really a sick cat when you are a ponytail! Suddenly, the 60 general cannons erected on the wall of Gongbei Gate immediately opened fire under the command of Zhang Wenliang.

Because the Qing army's artillery fired just now, the position was exposed, and the hit rate of the Mawei gunners was not comparable to the Qing army's half-guns, and suddenly sixty rounds of flowering shells fell towards the Qing army's artillery camp position. Although this was only the first round, about ten shells also fell on the position of the Qing army's artillery camp. Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the power of the explosion of the flowering bomb was quite powerful, and in the explosion area, no Qing gunner could stand up. In the first round of shelling, a Qing red-coated cannon was destroyed.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

For the next half an hour, the Qing army and the Mawei army were shooting at each other. But the sound of artillery on the Qing army's side became thinner and thinner, and in the end, there was no sound at all. On the Mawei side, although there were also injuries, the casualties were not too large. After all, there is still a little cover on the city wall, and the Qing army shoots all solid bullets, not directly on the city wall, and rarely directly injure people. The flowering shells on the side of the Mawei Army are indeed very lethal, and most of the time the gunners and escort soldiers of the Qing army are killed and injured by the bullets after the explosion.

"Stop the fire! The departments are ready, and the Qing army will serve with rifles first! ”

"It's up! The Qing army has begun to attack the city! Brethren, prepare! Several generals on the side of the Mawei Army also discovered the movement of the Qing army and immediately shouted loudly.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!" When the Qing army rushed to a range of more than 100 meters, a large number of gunshots began to sound on the city wall. At this time, Zhang Wenliang did not let the cannon continue to fire, but wanted to take this opportunity to practice marksmanship for the soldiers. There are so many battlements in this wall, not all the soldiers have the opportunity to shoot, the soldiers standing in the back row are responsible for reloading, and the first row in the battlements is responsible for shooting, so that the gunfire can be kept non-stop.

Under the city, countless Qing troops were like ants pressed by black, pouring towards Tianjin City all over the mountains. At this arch, more than 3,000 Qing troops and about 3,000 Korean troops poured up at the north gate. The open space in front of the north gate of Tianjin City was completely occupied. Standing on the head of the Gongbei Gate, you can only see their skulls, only their helmets, and not their bodies at all. It can be imagined how dense the ranks of the Qing army were.

The continuous shooting of the Mawei army did not stop the Qing army from approaching, and the people in front were killed, and the people behind swarmed up, as if no one had fallen at all. Sometimes the soldiers of the Mawei Army clearly saw that the Minnie bullet they shot had already knocked down the target, but when they were dazzled, the location of the target was where the living Qing army appeared. As for the Qing troops who were killed, they have disappeared.

In the Mawei Army, the firing speed of the soldiers of the 2nd Division is definitely the fastest in the army. After the Qing army entered the firing range, the soldiers kept firing guns, and fired one Mini bullet after another fiercely at the Qing army. With so many Qing troops, they didn't need to aim at all, they just needed to shoot at the front. However, while fighting, they suddenly found that the distance between the Qing army was getting closer and closer. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stop the tide of Qing troops from approaching.

The Qing army that came all over the mountains seemed to be forever killed, and no matter who it was, they all felt numb in their scalps. But the soldiers of the Mawei Army did not take this scene seriously, and did not cause any psychological pressure on the soldiers. Because behind the soldiers who were in charge of firing, boxes of grenades had already been moved, and when the Qing army approached the city wall, and when it was thirty or forty meters below the city wall, it was time for this grenade to be powerful.
