The barbed wire was dotted with bright spikes of thistles, and it was impossible for the Qing army horses to jump over. All they could do was to take out their carbines and shoot back at the Qin army, which was to raise their sabers and chop the barbed wire.

The mortar shells of the Qin army rained down, and the muffled thunder rolled on the ground, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the sound of thunder was bursting.

Dense bullets fell in the ranks of the Qing army, and many of the Qing cavalry in front of them did not say a word, and fell to the ground as soon as their bodies were crooked. The blazing flames of the heavy machine guns are intertwined with each other to form a dense net. The Qing army's horse corps was really like the wheat that was harvested, falling in patches.

Blood splattered, stumps and broken arms. The flesh and blood of a human being are as fragile as mud and sand in the face of bullets. One body after another was torn to shreds. A splash of blood stained the black earth!

Before a quarter of an hour arrived, Chen Guorui couldn't bear it. The order to retreat was issued in a panic!

……

Outside the second gate of "...... Report", a Goshha ran into the lobby panting.

"Report to the army, Jia Shen'a arrived outside the door......"

What the? Jia Shena? Cheng Bao was sitting in the Military Grain City at this time, and when he heard that Jia Shen'a himself had run to his door, a colic immediately rose in his heart, "Quickly let him roll in to this town-"

This Jiashen Aben is the deputy general assigned to Chen Guorui. For Chen Guorui's cavalry of more than 2,000 people, Cheng Bao has high hopes. But now that Jia Shen'a himself has come over, he can know that things are not wonderful with his toes.

"The sin general Jia Shen Ah knocked on the military door." Jia Shen'a came into the hall dressed as a wolf, and the horse coat he was wearing had been so smoked that he couldn't see the color, and there were several holes of different sizes on it, and the top of his head was obviously burned, and Cheng Bao could tell that he was suffering. However, although Jia Shen's image is unbearable, there is never a trace of injury on his body.

"You bastard—" Cheng Bao roared.

"Where is Chen Guorui? How big are your results? Jia Shen'a must have lost the battle, Cheng Bao's blood pressure is rising, and his face and neck are flushed. The only thing he hopes now is that Chen Guorui and Jia Shen'a can die well in their failures.

Jia Shen Ah was submissive, his eyes were dodgy, and his mouth was speechless.

Cheng Bao was furious and wanted to kill people completely. "Bastard thing, dare to run away. Greedy for life and afraid of death, the old man cut you down—"

Drawing out the knife, Cheng Bao stepped down in a few steps, and slashed at Jia Shen'a, who was kneeling. Of course, Jia Shen'a didn't want to die, otherwise how could he not be injured at all on such a tragic battlefield in Beitang? As soon as his head shrank, his body rolled to the side. This is also Cheng Bao's real anger, and his body is not good, so he can't take another step to make up for it.

Erhe and Hong Ming on the side hurriedly stepped forward to frame Cheng Bao. Jia Shen'a is also a deputy commander if he is not angry, and he can't be killed.

"The military gate spares his life, and the military gate spares his life." Jia Shen'a stepped forward and threw herself at Cheng Bao's feet, holding Cheng Bao's legs and begging bitterly. Thinking in his heart, he was crawling and rolling in the rain of artillery fire and bullets, and finally saved his life, was it easy for him? Teardrops are like broken pearl curtains, and they can't stop flowing down.

"Rest the anger of the military gate, rest the anger—" Erhe persuaded from the side. However, on the other hand, he also didn't have a good impression of Jia Shen'a, who escaped from the battle, and the importance of the land of Beitang was already known to everyone after the War of the Two Crows. Wasn't the reason why Seng Lingqin was defeated in Tianjin at the beginning because he did not protect Beitang and let the British and French troops land along the lì to cut off the back road of the Dagu Fort? So that the strong Dagu Fort did not exert the power of the second Dagukou Battle at all.

Now that the Beitang Fort has been swept away by the guns of the Qin warships, and the Qin army has landed, the only one who can give them a head-on blow is the cavalry led by Chen Guorui and Jia Shen'a. Jia Shen'a is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is not an exaggeration to really kill his head.

On the other side, Hong Ming's relationship with Jia Shen'a was better, Xiang Jiashen'a glanced at him, and then asked Xiang Jiashen'a sharply, "Jiashen'a, how many troops have landed on the rebels, and what is their strength, don't you tell me quickly." ”

Hearing Hong Ming's question, Cheng Bao no longer released his anger, and waited for Jia Shen'a with fierce eyes, "You know something, don't tell me soon." ”

Jia Shen'a gave Hong Ming a grateful look, and then quickly said the words that he had organized along the way. "There are no less than five people in the vanguard of the rebels. Mostly armed with repeating muskets, equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns. Chen Junmen and the criminal generals were by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but the Qin army dug trenches, erected barbed wire, and the nets were also decorated with thistles, and the war horses did not dare to cross it at all. The brothers could only cut the barbed wire with sabers, but the rebels fired all their guns, and the brothers had no power to fight back. Chen Junmen and the guilty general had no choice but to return......"

Cheng Bao, Hong Ming, and Erhe were all silent at this moment. After a few minutes, Cheng Bao sighed, and looked at Jia Shen's eyes with a fierce color again, "Go back and tell Chen Guorui, quickly gather your old department, and fight again in the future, if you dare to escape, the old man will kill you alive." ”

"Get out!" With a kick on Jia Shen'a, Cheng Bao shouted.

Jia Shen'a was kicked by this kick, but he still had a happy smile on his face. "Yes, yes, the last will understand, the last will understand." With a smile on his face, he rushed out of the hall with his head in his hands.

Because of the appearance of the Qin army, the Jinjing area was under martial law. Although the Qing court was panicked, it still allocated another 20,000 horses after 30,000 reinforcements. Today, the entire city of Beijing is less than half of the number of guards in Tianjin.

It's just that the 100,000 troops gathered in Tianjin, their quality is unknown. So many new soldiers of the Eight Banners in Beijing, these children of the Eight Banners who used to eat hardcore crops and walk birds in cages, can they burst out of their bloody nature at this moment of life and death in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? No one can guarantee it.

But on Tanggu's side, the Qin army is very safe and stable.

For three days in a row, the Qin army's soldiers stopped outside the military grain city, and they did not take a step forward. At the same time, he only took a part of the north bank of Tanggu to the south, and did not launch a land attack on the ruined Dagu Fort.

The Qin fleet only launched a non-stop bombardment of the Dagu fort after nightfall. As soon as the sky dawned, he immediately retreated, without any nostalgia. Therefore, the Manchu government invested heavily in expanding and consolidating the Dagu Fort many times, and it almost did not play a role in resisting the enemy in this battle. During the day, Chang Xing Ah Guang urged the grizzled defenders to repair the fort. But the speed of their repair is really not comparable to the speed of destruction caused by the artillery bombardment of the Qin warships at night.

Liu Xian used this time to transport the manpower of the four battalions and some supplies to the shore. But the dock, which already had a rudimentary form, was still not enough for thousands of pounds of artillery to pass. You must know that if you want to attack the Dagu Fort and annihilate the Changxing Abe Qing army, not only the role of warships is needed, but the army also needs to attack from the north bank of the Haihe River to the south. These two functions can break the resistance of Tanggu in one fell swoop with the minimum cost of casualties.

Of course, the Qing army also expected Dolonga to defeat the Qin army. They did not expect to capture Liu Xian, as long as the Qin army suffered a heavy setback, it would definitely greatly boost the morale of the Qing army, which would be very helpful to the Manchu Dynasty, which was now increasingly corrupted.

Therefore, both sides of this battle will go all out. Chang Xing'a has always insisted on the broken Dagukou, and there is no such psychological factor.

……

Liu Xian has landed in Beitang.

A small house is his residence. A detailed map of Beijing, Tianjin and Tang was spread out on the table, with more than a dozen red and blue lines on it.

"Your Majesty. Will Dorona really fight back? ”

Zhou Jun stood on Liu Xian's left shoulder, looking at the map, his tone was a little surprised, and a little joyful.

Defensive battles, that's much easier than offensive battles. The Qin army is currently short of heavy artillery, and it is most suitable to fight defensive battles. So Zhou Jun was a little happy. He was surprised that Dorona dared to take the initiative to attack! Isn't he afraid of the prestige of the Qin army?

"Many dragons and tigers. Duolonga is a dragon, he has been in the capital all these years, lurking minions, but he has always been a dragon. Liu Xian didn't care about Zhou Jun's doubts. The decision that the Qing army was going to counterattack was something he insisted on. Before, the Qing army didn't show any hair in this regard. Duolonga did a very good job, but unfortunately Liu Xian had a bug. It's not a martial arts!

……

Lao Mu Temple. The Lao Mu Temple, which is four or five miles away from the Military Grain City, is where the Qin army's most western position is located.

"I'll leave it to you!" After Jiao Wenbin left such a sentence, he left with the people from the brigade headquarters, and then two of the four mortars brought by Jiao Wenbin were transferred out by the brigade, after all, four mortars were added to the front-line position, and the firepower was too dense and too wasteful. Because of the short range of mortars, they often fire a few shells here, and then quickly move to another area to fire a few more shells, which is a frequent and rapid transfer to avoid targeted sniping and counter-shelling by the enemy. However, the rate of fire of mortars is sharp, and if a group of mortars are concentrated in hand and hit out at a critical moment, the lethality is absolutely powerful.

After Jiao Wenbin and the others left, Liu Fang, the squadron leader who was guarding the front line of Laomu Temple, sat with Wang Mingyi, a lieutenant artillery officer who led the mortar. Neither of them was afraid of war, and naturally there was no talk of war in the conversation. Liu Fang took the cigarette handed over by Wang Mingyi, and said with a smile: "I said brother, your cigarette is a good product, I didn't expect you to be willing to smoke this hard box red flag!" ”

Wang Mingyi smiled, "I'm a lonely person, just this hobby, I don't have to enjoy it." What else are you left for!? ”

"Alone?"

"Just one person."

"You're not too young this year, are you?" Liu Fang felt very strange that Wang Mingyi had not yet married. Although Wang Mingyi is a few years younger than himself, he is also in his twenties. "Don't worry. After this battle, I will ask your sister-in-law to tell you one. ”

"It's just that this has become a family, and men have to carry the burden on their shoulders. Brother, I have to send most of my monthly military salary to my family, otherwise the family will have to drink the northwest wind! ”R1152
