Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
From the beginning of the battle in the morning to dusk, in the sunset, the Qing army fled frantically. Wu Sangui and Nikan happened to come to the pontoon bridge on horseback.
At this time, the pontoon bridge was full of fleeing Qing troops, blocking the road, and many people were pushed into the river. In the panic, friendship is not as important as being alive, so the Qing army all ran away one by one.
Looking at these chaotic soldiers, Wu Sangui actually surged with jealousy, why did his subordinates usually boast of being elite, but it turned out to be such a rice bucket, which was completely inferior to An **'s not avoiding life and death!
Wu Sangui surged with a strong anger, he held the seven-star sword tightly in his hand, suddenly swung it, and cut down two subordinates in a row, and when he saw the boss Biao, the deserters present calmed down a little.
"Listen to this king, all the infantry cavalry wade across the river, the pontoon bridge turns away the artillery vehicles, whoever dares to foul will be killed!"
After the death order was given, it also had some effect, and some Qing troops had to jump into the water. However, it was already late autumn at this time, and the river water was cold and unbearable.
Especially since these soldiers have just gone through a big battle, exhausted, and some are wounded, where are they willing to jump into the river, they pretend that they have not heard the order, and are still crowding the pontoon.
They were so chaotic that the gun wagons couldn't get on the bridge at all. At this time, An**'s troops had already killed, and the cannons, divine fire flying crows, and fire guns rang out.
Those soldiers who did not collect the elite at night were divided into several squads, like arrows, and entered the ranks of the Qing army, regardless of the division and encirclement. It's like a dexterous knife, constantly cutting flesh from the Qing army, so that Wu Sangui can leave more blood!
Rumble!
A Divine Fire Raven landed right next to the gun carriage. The explosion exploded, the flames ignited the gunpowder, and an even louder explosion was heard, and the thick Weiyuan cannon barrel was thrown into the air and fell down again, smashing the head of one soldier and the arm of another gunner.
Wu Sangui, who was standing at the head of the bridge, saw this scene. Suddenly, my heart felt like I was stabbed hard. After this confrontation, Wu Sangui completely understood An's power.
What bullshit rides and shoots unequaled, facing firearms. It's just a bunch of meat!
In particular, the terrible discipline of An ** has made the combat effectiveness exponentially skyrocket, and the only way to confront them is to rely on more artillery. It can be said that the big traitors have regarded artillery as the root of their lives.
Saw the loss. How could he stand it.
"Lord Belle, don't look at it, immediately open the pontoon bridge and let all the artillery withdraw to Hebei, otherwise if the artillery is lost, we will be finished!"
Nikan also came to his senses at this time, and he didn't care about the separation between him and Wu Sangui, and hurriedly led the men and horses to rush onto the pontoon bridge. The iron-clad horses went on a rampage, knocking everyone into the river.
These two tartars are like dumplings. Constantly falling into the water, some were hit by war horses, some fell into the water and were injured, in short, a wail.
This is also deserved, you are willing to be a lackey, don't treat yourself as a human being, don't blame others for using you as a footcloth!
A bloody alley crashed out, and the Eight Banners escorted the artillery and ran towards the north bank. The other soldiers waded through the water and ran towards the riverbank.
Gu Zhenhua stood on the tall Yuan Rong car, he could see it clearly, speaking of which, Gu Zhenhua was still a little disappointed, he deliberately let the Qing army cross the river, just to lure the enemy deep, and then play a beautiful counter-charge.
However, the river was too shallow to stop the enemy, and the gang crossed the river with ease, except for a few unlucky ones who got stuck in the mud, and the others were not much of an obstacle.
"Quick, let Gao Hongtu aim at the pontoon, give me a storm, be sure to leave the artillery!"
As the saying goes, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first and capture the king. Among the Qing army, the potential threat of artillery was the greatest, so Gu Zhenhua first concentrated the main force of the attack on artillery.
After Gao Hongtu got the order, he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and replaced it with solid lead bullets.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Iron eggs the size of fists kept falling into the river, stirring up high columns of water, and some of them even hit the deserters directly. One shell from the inclined plane, one down, is a bloody alley, easily eliminating five or six soldiers.
Although the results of the battle were amazing, Gao Hongtu was not satisfied, without the cover of artillery, these soldiers could be killed whenever they wanted, and these artillery pieces were not easy to deal with!
"Aim at the pontoon, don't mess around!"
Just as Gao Hongtu was shouting, suddenly a lead bullet hit the middle of the pontoon. The huge iron ball fell on the wooden board, and suddenly smashed a huge hole, sawdust flew wildly, as if a series of flying knives and arrows, the surrounding Qing troops were all suffering, all parents screamed, and some people fell to the ground, rolling back and forth, in pain!
Click!
The cannonball smashed a big hole, the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and it sank rapidly, and the gun carriage that was on the bridge also sank downward, and a large general's cannon fell into the water.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Gao Hongtu couldn't help but rub his big hands.
"Good boy, this cannon is accurate!"
Gao Hongtu praised Tan Xingming, this kid has just joined An**, according to reason, he is not qualified to enter the artillery, let alone become an official gunner.
However, Tan Xingming has one thing that is very powerful, that is, his math scores are amazing, and he calculates shooting parameters faster than anyone else. Because of this, he was specially recruited into the artillery, this time Tan Xingming really made meritorious contributions in the first battle, Gao Hongtu raised his chin high, or he knew people with his eyes and found such a baby!
"Let's work hard, and destroy a few more pontoon bridges for me!"
The cannon was rumbling, Tan Xingming was also aiming carefully, he usually looked like a hanger, but when he really stood in front of the cannon, he was extra concentrated.
"The barrel is raised by two points, and the right turn is three degrees."
Tan Xingming said concentratingly, and the other soldiers immediately did the same.
Rumble!
Another cannon rang out, and another shot was fired at a pontoon bridge next to it, which blew out a huge hole and killed two gunners in a row.
At this time, more and more ann ** poured up. The soldiers brandished long knives and slashed at random. Li Xu is even more so, he hasn't killed so freely for a long time. With a single knife, you can even cut off two heads.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and it turned out that Yang Kun led the cavalry to rush up, and in order to cover the artillery retreat, Wu Sangui had to send the cavalry out.
"Good time!"
Li Xu immediately led more than a hundred nights to rush up, and the firecrackers also hurriedly took everything as a unit. Formed in a row and was ready for battle.
The firecrackers know very well that they are fighting alone. How could they be the opponents of the cavalry, only by forming a battle formation could they win.
In fact, there are soldiers everywhere, and the area is small. It is extremely unfavorable for the use of cavalry. But Yang Kun also had to rush up, he couldn't just watch the cannon end like this!
One of the horsemen rushed to the vicinity of the soldiers, swung his axe sharply, and slashed at him. In a hurry, the sword and shield soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block.
Syllable!
The shield was shattered, the arms were smashed to reveal bones, and the soldier fell to the ground with a heavy blow.
The cavalry made a successful move and raised his axe again. It's going to be cut down.
Who knew that in an instant, five firearms were aimed at him, and the gun rang out. The cavalry was like a lightning strike, and blood bloomed on his chest, and even the war horse was hit in the head, half of the skull was lost, and the cavalry fell heavily to the ground.
After a long period of training, all kinds of movements have almost become instinctive, and hundreds of them gathered together to form a mobile circle, which is impervious to wind and rain.
The soldiers who had finished firing the guns immediately retreated to the center to reload, and the others continued to fire. And so on alternately, like a grinding disc.
It's just that this grinding disc grinds human life, and it is real, and the flesh and blood are continuous.
Seeing the heavy losses of his subordinates, Yang Kun was dripping blood in his heart, but he still had to fight to contain it.
Gradually, the twilight was four, the torches were fought on the battlefield, and the three main regiments of An ** had swept away most of the Qing army on the south bank, and quickly pressed towards the river.
An iron fan had already rushed towards Yang Kun. Yang Kun is not a fool, and his cavalry is also surrounded by An **, which is absolutely physiological.
Therefore, Yang Kun also had to leave a few hundred lives and retreat north.
Having lost cover, Ann quickly captured all the pontoons. Wu Sangui brought more than 30 artillery pieces across the river, but less than 20 were brought back, and the rest all fell into the hands of An **. Some fell into the river, while others were scattered on the south bank, quietly waiting for their new owners.
A big battle finally ended, everyone's eyes swept across the battlefield, everywhere was blood, there were corpses everywhere, a mess, the smoke and blood had not yet dissipated, and the pungent smell invaded the nerves.
Some of the recruits were even pale, retching incessantly, and eager to vomit out their appetites.
But no matter how wolf they are, Ann is undoubtedly the biggest winner, not only because of the huge results, but more importantly, because Ann is really mature.
has a strong recognition of the new way of training, and Gu Zhenhua has also been upgraded from the original idol level to a god-level idol, a symbol of victory.
Everywhere he went, the soldiers resounded with strong cheers and shouts, and everyone's joy was beyond words.
Gu Zhenhua's blood was boiling, and Gu Zhenhua paid careful attention to every detail of the battlefield, he knew very well what this victory had brought to An **!
From now on, maybe the battle will be more terrible, and the casualties will be extremely amazing, but Gu Zhenhua is not afraid, and An ** is also not afraid, they have a strong confidence in winning the war.
"We won!"
"We won!"
"We won!"
The loud shouts came and went, and the riverside almost turned into a sea of jubilation.
The results of the battle were gradually counted, An ** killed more than 1,700 of Jiang Huang's subordinates, more than 3,500 fire guns of the Han Army Banner, more than 530 Guanning iron cavalry, 85 artillerymen, 130 people from the Eight Banners, and more than 1,000 people.
Two thousand two hundred prisoners, plus more than five hundred wounded, had already been cut down by the soldiers with knives, ending their suffering early!
All of them combined, Wu Sangui lost more than 8,000 soldiers in the first battle, don't look at the big traitors and horses, but they can't stand such losses, they haven't seen the city gate of Ji County, let alone hit the Yellow River, so they lost so much, which can be called a fatal impact on the morale of the Qing army.
If the situation in the Central Plains was strong and weak before, now the two sides have at least become evenly matched!
The work of cleaning up the battlefield did not end until dawn, and Gu Zhenhua left the vigilant soldiers, watched Weihe, and marched towards Jixian with the main force.
There are still twenty or thirty miles away from the county seat, and the common people have already gone out of the city to greet them, with dragon and lion dances, and the festive crowd is endless, just like the New Year.
As soon as they saw the long line of captives, the people cheered even more, slapped their hands red, and applauded the soldiers.
"Let's make the big guy happy, let's go discuss the military situation!"
In the study, Gu Zhenhua said to everyone: "The victory just now is gratifying, but everyone must know that we only won the tactical victory, although the Qing army suffered a lot of losses, but almost all of them were miscellaneous cards, Wu Sangui and the main force of the Qing army were not injured, and the next thing we have to face is the crazy counterattack of the big traitors, and we must be fully prepared." ”
Li Jibo also said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo is cool-headed, Wu Sangui is good at learning, and resourceful, and has seen our method of using troops, they will definitely prescribe the right medicine, which is very noteworthy." But there is one more thing, the old man also wants to remind you that the Central Plains has become like this, whether the Manchus will transfer reinforcements from northern Shaanxi, and you must pay more attention! ”
Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but nodded, most of the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to notice An **'s body, and he didn't know if the chess pieces he had laid down could have an effect!
Just when Gu Zhenhua was worried, more than a dozen batches of storytelling, singing and opera artists entered the capital one after another. Among the last group of people, a woman in plain clothes is particularly eye-catching, she is 6 Mingzhen!
Since the sisters of the 6th Army joined An**, her sister 6 Mingyue has been training hard, this little girl is more crazy than men, blisters have been ground on her feet, layer after layer, the calluses on her hands are getting thicker and thicker, and her fair skin has become dark, but she has no regrets.
Compared with her, her sister 6 Mingzhen is almost in a state of madness, Gu Zhenhua just asked her to learn quyi, relying on her talent, trying to get close to the Manchu nobles, to put it bluntly, this is just an idea, but 6 Mingzhen is regarded as a whole qiē!
She practiced her posture singing skills during the day and memorized the lyrics at night, and she also found a military doctor and a veteran soldier to learn how to use poison and how to assassinate each other with the weapon at hand.
After a few months of grinding, 6 Mingzhen finally learned all the skills, and she couldn't wait to take revenge.
"Boss Xue, there is Chongwenmen in front!" Weng Zhongshu disguised himself as a groom, he said with a smile.
6 Mingzhen, no, it was Xue Qiutang who gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Looking at the majestic city gate, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head and walked quickly towards the city gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Oh! Master Jun, we are running the rivers and lakes to perform arts, don't you see these gongs and drums? ”
"Who asked you!" The soldiers defending the city pushed Weng Zhongshu away, staring at 6 Mingzhen with straight eyes.
6 Mingzhen still lowered his head and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve.
"Master Jun, it's convenient for you!"
The soldiers guarding the city weighed it for a while, and said with a hippie smile: "Yes, I understand things, I wish the female boss is popular all over the city!" ”
6. Mingzhen stepped into the unknown capital. (To be continued......)
