Chapter 733: Great Defeat
In order to disguise his guilt, Monk Greenqin concealed the news that tens of thousands of British and French Yangyi troops had landed in Jinkou, and only said that a Yangyi army landed in Beitang, and in order to ensure the stability of Gyeonggi, he retreated to Zhangjiawan to rectify the defense.
Jinkou and Jingshi are close at hand, and Monk Greenqin's fold has fooled the imperial court like this, and Monk Greenqin feels that he still has the strength to fight again, and the integration of tens of thousands of horses in Zhangjiawan should be able to block the offensive of foreign devils.
But with such confidence, whether Monk Greenqin has it or not, no one knows, the Dagu defensive battle is led by Monk Greenqin, and he probably knows the power of firearms better than anyone else, right?
With the green battalion soldiers with big swords and spears, the Beijing battalion soldiers, and the Mongolian horse team with sabers, against muskets and artillery, as the main general of an army, Seng Lingqin should be conscious, his best choice is to ask Sushun's 3,000 musketeers, or a firearms battalion equipped with Western muskets to help, in order to disguise the guilt, trapping tens of thousands of troops in danger, too much!
The Anglo-French alliance will not be delayed because of the attack on Jinkou, nor will it be delayed because the Beijing division is defenseless, the strategy of the British and French alliance is very simple, that is, if there is an army there to defend, they will attack there, and the Qing army that is not familiar with the terrain and retreats will naturally lead them to the Beijing division of the Qing country.
Since the beginning of the military grain city, the Anglo-French coalition army will not annihilate the Qing army along the way, always leave a group of deserters, these deserters with the British and French coalition army, slowly approached the vicinity of Zhangjiawan defended by Seng Lingqin, which has belonged to the land of Gyeonggi, a little north of Zhangjiawan is Dingfuzhuang, and Dingfuzhuang has a Qihua Gate, which is now called Chaoyang Gate. This is already a Jingshi.
Today's monk Lingqin is also irregressible. Then retreat is Dingfuzhuang, Bali Bridge. If the emperor is captured, the Qing Dynasty will be over, Manchu and Mongolia will not be separated, and Mongolia will be finished after the Qing Dynasty is over!
The Mongolian horse team of Seng Lingqin was a selection of good men from the steppe, and they were not afraid of the Anglo-French army. At the urging of Monk Lingqin, these Mongolian men, with the glory of their ancestors, went straight to the Anglo-French coalition army.
If you retreat to 400 years ago, it is undoubtedly not bad to fight like this, when Genghis Khan relied on the Mongolian iron cavalry to hit the Danube, but now it is different from the past, the old things of 400 years ago can no longer suppress people, although the prestige of the Tatar iron cavalry is great, but it can not beat the new guns in the hands of the British and French forces.
For this group of Tatar iron horsemen who are not afraid of death. The Anglo-French forces also showed enough respect, hundreds of Congreev rockets. It is the respect of the Anglo-French alliance for the Mongolian horse team of Seng Lingqin, unlike the cavalry trained by Yang Meng who was trained in the sound of guns and cannons all day long, the training of the Mongolian horse team is still mainly based on cold weapon combat.
The sudden whistling, explosions, and firelight that suddenly appeared, for the horses, for the horses formed into a military formation, was undoubtedly the biggest killing weapon, and the chaos instantly swept away the group of monks who were not afraid of death, such a result was undoubtedly a big surprise for the British and French forces, and the next thing was to reload in an orderly manner and slowly slaughter.
The fiasco, the first formation was a fiasco, the thousands of Mongolian horses that went up, in the sound of guns, did not look like a darling at all, while the British and French troops were calmly aiming and firing, no different from live ammunition.
In a hurry, the green battalion soldiers and Beijing battalion soldiers who were accustomed to defeat and retreat in the past two days could not be ordered by Monk Greenqin, and decisively chose to retreat, and the rout began, in addition to the dead and wounded more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, Monk Greenqin's more than 30,000 troops did not hold even an hour, and retreated directly to the vicinity of the Beijing Division Bali Bridge.
Monk Lingqin's men and horses retreated to Bali Bridge, and they couldn't hide anything, the British and French invaded tens of thousands of troops, attacked the gate of the Beijing Division, the emperor and the courtiers didn't know anything, got the battle report of the Beijing camp, the four-color stick sitting on the dragon chair, the face suddenly ruddy and pale, and the eyes were instantly bloodshot.
"Monk Greenqin can't be used, who else can I count on? The god-damn monk Greenqin regretted not listening to Brother Yang's words about asking the monk Greenqin to be killed...... Ahem......"
The angry scolding was followed by a violent cough, and suddenly the bright red appeared on the bright yellow dragon robe.
"It's red, it's not good, please ask the imperial doctor, please deer blood!
Majesty xià sighs of anger! Majesty xià sighs of anger! Today's Jingshi, as well as Sushun's musket team, send him over or be able to block the foreign devil's soldiers, and after blocking it, it's not too late to make a calculation! ”
Since the beginning of the year, the emperor has had the problem of coughing up blood, but it has never been like today, sprinkled with bright red, this is a sign of anger and attack, once the emperor is gone at this time, the Qing Dynasty is really going to die, and recently Peng Yunzhang, who is also sick, hurriedly persuaded the four-color stick, this Jiangnan is very easy to fight foreign devils, and Monk Greenqin returned from a big victory in Dagukou before, why can't he stop it this time? It is said that there are a lot of people under the hands of Monk Greenqin, is it really as the Holy Lord said, this Monk Greenqin is unreliable?
Patches of weeds not only took root in Peng Yunzhang's heart, but which of the surrounding courtiers was not? Whether it is Jiangnan or the previous Dagu, it is smooth sailing, why can't it be done suddenly?
The Anglo-French coalition forces, constantly fighting and constantly resting, step by step approached the vicinity of the Bali Bridge where Seng Lingqin was stationed, fighting in unfamiliar terrain, and fighting steadily is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective tactics, and the Anglo-French coalition forces that are familiar with the war came up with the most effective tactics at the first time, although it was a surprise war, but the steady and steady attack did not affect the speed of the coalition's advance.
In order to deal with the guns of the British and French forces, Monk Greenqin also came up with a small amount of contingency in his stomach, with the bird guns and artillery in the battalion, and in a short period of time let the Mongolian war horses be familiar with the sound of guns, and this response was barely timely.
But even if the Mongolian men are heroic, the tactics are not right, they are still sent to death, and the Mongolian iron cavalry has no advantage in the frontal charge, and their tactics should be the same as the Eight Banners when they entered the customs, attacking and harassing the battle.
Dividing and encircling the enemy army piece by piece, dragging down the enemy army little by little, and charging head-on is not the strength of the Mongolian iron cavalry, let alone facing thousands of muskets and artillery?
The two sides fought at Bali Bridge, but the battle was the same as before. A group of Mongolian iron horsemen rushed up. Even the men and horses fell on the way to the charge. Groups of Green Battalion soldiers, Beijing Battalion soldiers, and Eight Banner soldiers mustered up their last courage, but they fell in the midst of artillery fire and scattered bullets.
The Mongolian iron cavalry rushed quickly and quickly, and the threat to the British and French forces was not small, but it could only be a threat, and only one hour after the war began, there were no soldiers available in the hands of Seng Gelinqin, an army of more than 30,000 people. has only been supported for less than an hour, the so-called heroic, the so-called fearless, those are all objects, can be described in just two words, these people are sending them to death!
In the big defeat, Monk Greenqin was already frightened, and Shengbao, who commanded the Mongolian horse team, was also somewhat injured, and the battle situation was already difficult to support, and there was no other way to go except to escape.
The Anglo-French forces advanced step by step. The flesh and blood of the Mongolian iron cavalry and the official army were the arrival of the three thousand men and horses in Sushun. Won precious time, although the training time was not long, but the new battalion of the Eight Banners in Sushun also learned to shoot, also learned to evade, and also simply learned to build fortifications.
Temporarily digging trenches, it was too late, as a rare talent among the full staff, Su Shun's response was much more decent than that of Monk Greenqin, piling up the corpses of men and horses into a defensive line, a team of 3,000 people, after paying hundreds of casualties, stubbornly blocked the momentum of the British and French forces at Bali Bridge.
"Monk Lingqin, how did you fight?"
As a clan, Su Shun does not give face to the prince of Horqin, the monk Greenqin, the corpses all over the ground, the battlefield full of blood, and the general battle situation, Su Shun has already learned from the mouth of the defeated army that 30,000 horses and horses can not support it for an hour, and the new battalion of the Eight Banners in his hand only paid for hundreds of casualties, and dragged the British and French troops for more than two hours.
Now that it was night, the cautious Anglo-French troops chose to camp and defend on the spot, and Su Shun made up his efforts, so he naturally wanted to find the monk Ling Qinxing to ask for guilt.
"Su Shun, what are you, Lao Tzu's men and horses have been killed and wounded, Lao Tzu is not without help!"
This person lost a bit big, he Horqin Prince Monk Greenqin, more than 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, green battalion soldiers, Beijing battalion soldiers, and Eight Banner soldiers together more than 20,000, an hour of war, can be put together, less than 3,000, the battle is like this, it is already considered the whole army has been annihilated, at this time this scene, then what kind of self-cultivation can there be!
"Get out! I don't care about you! Useless bastard, why didn't you die in your mother's belly in the early years?
Mongolian waste! ”
The battle has become like this, so you can't be calm or angry, the masters of the Eight Banners are all in Beijing! Once the foreign devils enter the Beijing Division, the face of the Eight Banners will be lost, and the people of the Eight Banners will die!
"Look for death!"
Su Shun's scolding is really a little ugly, how can Seng Greenqin stand this, he pulled out his saber and was about to fight with Su Shun, but he didn't expect Su Shun to wave his hand, and a few foreign guns passed into Monk Greenqin's face.
"Leave the centaurs behind, you monk Grinqin, get out! Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll kill you! ”
Su Shun really had the intention to kill Monk Greenqin, but Monk Greenqin was the Prince of Horqin after all, and if he killed him, he was afraid that something would go wrong in Mongolia!
drove away Monk Greenqin, Su Shun also sent an urgent report to the Jingshi, Yangyi is not invincible, but Seng Greenqin is too wasteful, transfer 10,000 Beijing camp men, with foreign guns and ammunition, he Su Shun can exterminate this foreign devil who hit the door of the Beijing Division.
Pegasus urgently, overnight transfer of troops, the efficiency of the Qing Empire is also like the return to the light, outrageously high, a team of Beijing camp people, boxes of Western muskets, one by one to the front line of the Bali Bridge, the soldiers came to the city, the Qing Dynasty finally took out the courage of a big country, and built a defense line near the Bali Bridge overnight.
With the help of the river, Sushun's men and horses are also regarded as having a moat in front of the door, earthen walls, trenches, barracks, and things that rush to work overnight, although they are not very strong, but they still have some defensive power.
The cautious Anglo-French alliance gave Su Shun a lot of confidence, but the confidence was of little use in the end, and the recruits who had been trained for three or five months were finally defeated by the veterans of the British and French who had been in battle for a long time.
After Su Shun's men and horses held on to the Bali Bridge for five days, the defense line began to be broken through by the British and French forces, although the position was still there, but Su Shun, as the main general, knew that he was smiling at the foreign devils, and such a big battle would last for ten and a half days, and his men and horses would also be wiped out.
The battle report of the imminent defeat of Baliqiao was transmitted back to the Beijing Division, and the four-colored stick and a dry courtier could no longer sit still, and now in this situation, it seems that they can only patrol Mulan.
"Your Majesty, Jiangnan Yang Butang asked for an order to enter the King of Jingqin, Yang Butang said, as long as the imperial court allows, two days and nights, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Yong Battalion and the Eight Banners New Battalion stranded in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can reach the Beijing Division!"
Peng Yunzhang was also forced to be anxious, the fall of the Jingshi was imminent, and Yang Laosan's excerpt was undoubtedly the lifesaver of the Jingshi.
A few days ago, I just vomited blood, and the four-color stick with a pale face also grabbed this life-saving straw, and now it is not a way to run, Monk Lingqin lost 30,000 horses in a battle, and 15,000 or 6,000 people in Sushun, fought for five days, and killed and injured more than 1,000 people a day.
This situation can only be negotiated peacefully, Monk Greenqin can't believe it, this official of the Manchu Dynasty, I'm afraid only Yang Sange can be trusted, now it seems that only Yang Sange is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, for his sake! (To be continued......)
