Chapter 510: The Guan Ditch is Too Narrow and Too Long!

A rumbling roar rang out, and countless horses' hooves trampled the earth in a swift run. At the same time, a hoarse shout of exhaustion came from the front of the Qing army's position, and the Qing infantry launched a large-scale infantry charge.

Chen Jing's face was full of smiles, and he saw a group of Qing soldiers at the front of the Qin army's position......

Hu Desheng took off his shirt and was shirtless, holding his little belly and giving orders. Inside the Qin army's position, under patches of earthy yellow protective tents, mortars were waiting for orders. Yes, mortars, Qin Jun obviously didn't have too many mortars on his face. But there are at least hundreds of doors here!

The cannons were brought in on wagons loaded with baggage. The artillerymen also walked in disguised as infantry with rifles on their backs. The Qing army completely stepped into this complete set set set by Liu Xian. There's no way, the bug is in hand, Liu Xian just has no last resort.

He looked at Dorona's arrangement and deduced that Dorona's plan was not too easy. And then the targeted design, there is no reason not to win.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Xian is so capable, and he is so good at commanding soldiers and horses.

When the attacking Qing army exchanged fire with the Qin defenders, the mortar team, which had been hiding for two days, also threw off its arms and fought. Although they didn't know how many casualties their current shelling would cause to the Qing army, it was absolutely true that the Qing troops who were absolutely able to attack were clinging to their heads. They also tried their best to fire and fire......

In the roar, the cavalry of the Qing army also suffered heavy losses at this time. The carriages, which looked to be all baggage vehicles, were lifted to reveal a heavy machine gun mounted on the carriage.

Thirty-six heavy machine guns. Fifty mortars, firing at full speed. Is there a second way for the more than 2,000 Qing army horses to go without stopping?

In front of the Qin army's position, the surface of the ground that had just been bombarded was filled with gunpowder smoke and craters. Countless corpses were scattered on the ground. Stumps and broken arms, blood on the ground.

At least half of the Qing soldiers were corpses under the cover fire of 100 mortars.

Duolonga stood at the head of Nankou City, holding a saber in his hand, surrounded by Goshha and Qing army officers. He was waiting for the outcome of the war.

From where he was now, the entire Qin army's position could be seen at a glance. And some traces can also be seen in another battlefield a few miles behind the Qin army's position. The dust and smoke raised by the cavalry attack seemed to have pulled a yellow veil several miles wide there, completely covering the situation inside.

Dorona knew that the horse team was not very good at fighting. The reason why Tianjin has not dispersed after the First World War is not that they are all determined to die for the Qing Dynasty. It's the strictness of their own control, so that some people don't have time to run. After all, the majority of the horse team is the Mongol cavalry.

Then hundreds of mortars erupted in Dorona's expectant gaze. The shelling did not last long, each mortar shelled no more than ten rounds. The super-dense shells immediately completely collapsed the 3,000 Qing troops who attacked.

Snare! It's a trap!

There was not a trace of blood on Duolong's face, how could he not understand that all his plans had already fallen into the calculations of the Qin army. People feel their minds clearly, and they just wait for themselves to take the bait.

Liu Xian!

A name was imprinted on the bottom of his heart. But what can Dorona do? These two words exploded in his mind, but he was powerless to remedy them. What Duolonga can do now is to watch the Qin army use the means that he has been preparing for a long time!

The artillery shells shattered the attack of the Qing infantry, and the machine guns and artillery shells stifled the shock of the Qing horse team.

More than 5,000 steps to ride. The total number of casualties of the Qin army did not exceed 300, and ninety percent of them were the loss of the Qin army's position under Nankou City. And the Qing army lost its courage and half of its military strength!

All the Qin army paid was a bunch of shells and a bunch of bullets.

After the end of this war. The morale of the Qing army at Juyongguan fell into dust, and the army led by Liu Xian personally rushed to Nankou City in the afternoon of the next day. It seems that there is no longer a sight of yesterday's corpses strewn all over the field.

For dinner, the whole army ate horse meat and broth. And not far from the two battlefields, there were more than a dozen large dirt bags. its role. You don't have to ask.

"Boom, boom—"

As the main force of the Qin army arrived, the cannons on both sides roared angrily.

Instead of ascending to the top of the city without moving, Dorona turned into a high ground not far from the city walls. There is an anti-artillery tower made of stone and cement and steel bars. The bluestone strips of Juyongguan are very strong, and they are built with cement and steel bars. Such a strong Cheng dù is simply not something that a few shells can collapse. He's safe here, and he's able to look out with a telescope through the lookout.

"Liu Thief is so old-fashioned in using soldiers. Such a situation is very good. And the burrowing rats. ”

The Qin army outside the city was like a group of marmots, quickly digging trenches under the city. This communication trench can lead directly to the foot of Nankou City, and then dig holes and fill gunpowder, which is an old method. Then there was the suppression of the Qing army in the city with artillery fire, and these communication trenches could be used by the Qin army to send troops. Reduce the chance of being hit!

In addition, a considerable area of the ground outside Nankou City was bombarded by the artillery of the Qing and Qin armies, and it was not difficult to dig a trench.

Of course, the Qing army's operation of Nankou was not a day or two. It was not just a small city built and strengthened by relying on the ruins, the Qing army also dug a ditch more than seven feet deep and more than one zhang wide outside the city wall.

The south side of the big ditch is a slope, and it is very convenient for people to go up and down, and the north side is a straight wall, seven or eight feet deep, and ordinary people can't climb up at all.

The Qing army was originally going to use this big ditch as a trench to operate, and to take care of the Qing army at the head of the city. But after yesterday's defeat in the First Battle, Dorona recalled all the garrisons outside the city.

The real battle began at night, and for such a long time during the day, the Qin army was making preparations, and the rest was artillery bombardment from both sides.

For a whole day, the soldiers of the Qin army only dug and dug again, but everyone knew that this was a great thing to save their lives.

The limited flares of the Qing army were raised.

"Boom, boom—"

Then the light of this flare, the cannon of the Qing army continued to play.

The Qin army's 150 heavy artillery also brought two over. The road is too difficult to walk, and the artillery team of the Qin army is building a road by continuing to walk all the way. But the powerful power and range of the 150 guns kept him away from the threat of the Qing army's 105 guns. The gunner did not have the possibility of being hit at all, and the more calmly he started the gun.

Soon the shell hit a Qing army base. From a distance, Roy saw through the binoculars, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but in an instant, this smile stiffened on his face. Because the Qing army base that was hit by a shell stopped for a short time, and then began to bombard as usual.

"Gua Wazi, what a tough one-"

Roy spoke in a Chinese tone and scolded at Nankou.

"Rush—"

"Kill—"

The sound of the Qin army's cries of killing sounded under the city. Hundreds of Qin soldiers scattered into countless squads and attacked Nankou City.

These Qin soldiers did not really want to carry ladders to attack the city, but to attract the attention of the Qing army at the head of the city and attract firepower to the sappers who were digging holes in the city.

"Shoot, shoot! Call me—" A Qing officer yelled loudly. He himself didn't show his head at all, and Qin Jun's sniper pistol skills became more and more accurate.

"Bang bang bang-"

In the dark night, there was a lot of gunfire on both sides, but no one could see how many opponents were killed and wounded. Except for Liu Xian.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shine. Shining under the southern city wall of Nankou, the dozens of corpses stacked on top of each other and the three gaps in the city wall that were blown open were the results of the Qin army's busy work all night.

At dawn, a team of Qin soldiers carrying white flags carried stretchers to the land of flesh under the city wall, and carried all the corpses away one after another.

At the head of the city, there were only a few outcrops of the Qing army watching. No one dares to underestimate the power of the Qin army's heavy artillery cluster, and Duolonga will not put too many Qing soldiers at the head of the city.

Liu Xian was in front of him, and Roy was very quiet this time. The heavy artillery cluster of the Qin army bombarded the head of Nankou City at night, but it did not knock out the Qing army's artillery fortress at all, which made Roy feel very shameless.

Liu Xian is not in a hurry. Only let the artillery bombard the south mouth continuously, which always made the Qing army tense their nerves. From time to time during the day and at night, he ordered his troops to launch a tentative or harassing attack on the city. And absolutely not let the Qing army repair the gaps in the city wall.

And so on for a day, two days, three days......

Dorona couldn't stand it. The Qing army began to retreat in the direction of Juyong Pass, and six 105 guns remained at Nankou, firing back from time to time against the artillery bombardment of the Qin army. The rest of the small cannons were dragged by the Qing soldiers to Juyong Guancheng.

Liu Xian really feels that Duo Longa is great. Know the trade-offs at the critical moment!

Dropped six 105 guns, attracted the attention of the Qin army, kept a batch of small-caliber artillery guns with cheaper actions, and fought lively artillery battles with the Qin army every day, and then was able to quietly withdraw the main army.

It's a pity, he didn't know that Liu Xian had a bug in his hands, and he didn't know that someone in the reconnaissance team had already touched the ditch between Juyong Pass and Nankou.

On the afternoon of the second day after the retreat of the Qing army in the city, the news reached Liu Xian.

Liu Xian did not plan to completely annihilate Duolong Abe at Nankou, because the ditch was too narrow, and there were many dangerous places inside, and the Qing army had left troops to defend these dangerous places. Although the number of people is small, it is not something that can be solved by the twenty or thirty people infiltrated by the reconnaissance team. Liu Xian only thought about eating a part of the Qing army.

So he watched Dolonga withdraw his troops back to Juyong Pass, and watched that batch of small cannons return to Juyong Pass. It was not until all the main forces of the Qing army behind Nankou City were withdrawn, and even the Eight Banners New Army of Nankou City itself was withdrawn by five or six hundred people, that they made a fierce effort and launched a fierce attack on Nankou City!

Of course, the Qin army took Nankou. Thousands of Eight Banners New Army were killed and captured on the spot, and six or seven hundred people were captured, but the remaining three or four hundred remnants of the defeated army relied on the special terrain of Guangou and cooperated with the Qing army's remaining troops in several dangerous places, and still ran to Juyong Pass!

The ditch is too narrow and too long! (To be continued......)
