10-25 Tianjin Wei
In this battle, Wang Fuchen's troops lost 18,000 men and horses, and were injured countless times, and the wounds were not well cleaned and bandaged in the summer, and thousands of people died because of infection a few days later, and the soldiers of Wang's army were terrified when they mentioned Qingdao.
Wang Fuchen is Hong Chengchou's favorite general, and the loss is also Hong Chengchou's descendant, but Hong Dashuai did not blame Ma Harrier too much for this, after all, he can't kill the general when he is employed, and the future battle still depends more on these Han generals, although the Manchu generals and Mongolian generals under the command of these Han generals are obedient on the surface! This book is reprinted! Literature.com! Order, but unruly, no one in the eyes, if it weren't for the death order of the Empress Dowager, then Shun Ge Rile would not throw Hong Chengchou, the last time he ambushed Man Gui, it was Hong Dashuai who gave several military orders, and finally promised that all the spoils of war would go to the Mongol army, and then Shun Ge Rile reluctantly sent troops.
Hong Chengchou sat in the tent of the handsome, closed his eyes and pondered what he had been in the army for many years. It is not yet a feudal marquis, worship will be immortal, but from the current chaos, it is not known who will die in the deer, the Nanming ship is strong, the Western Xia soldiers are many generals, although the Manchu Qing is injured, but the victory is in the presence of a holy emperor and the wise empress dowager, as long as the reuse of Hanchen has the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, now they have more than 100,000 people and horses occupy most of the land in Shandong, which is a huge resource, Shandong has regained its vitality after two years of recuperation, full of mines, workshops, barren land, re-cultivation, shops are full of exquisite goods from the south. Therefore, Hong Chengchou strictly forbade his subordinates to harass the people, except for the arrest of some people in Jiaoxian and Jimo in Qingdao in order to deal with Qingdao, the rest of the towns did not commit any crimes, after all, he Hong Chengchou still wanted to use Shandong as a base.
Wang Fuchen gritted his teeth and begged the marshal to allocate to him, he wanted to fight Qingdao again, and the shame before the snow was given, but the attempt to fight Qingdao again was vetoed by Hong Chengchou in one sentence, Qingdao is just a lonely city, and it does not pose much threat to the Qing army, the original intention of attacking Qingdao was just to put pressure on the Ming army on the northern front, and now since it is determined that the other party is a difficult bone to gnaw, you might as well adjust your strategy, and only need to frequently feint to put pressure on the other side, and you can free up your hands to digest the newly occupied land.
Fifty miles outside Tianjin, Liu Ziguang's new toy, the city in the sky, is advancing in mid-air, although the six high-horsepower propellers are advancing with all their might, but the progress is still very slow, and 6 is different from the sea, there are mountains and waters, and the air flow is relatively complex, such a huge floating city is floating in the sky, if the other party has anti-aircraft guns, wouldn't it be an excellent live target. Fortunately, the wilderness of Zhili is already full of the world of Ming cavalry, and there is no need to worry that someone will be unfavorable to this valuable air city.

Spent three million taels of silver to build such a clumsy thing, I don't know if it's worth it, anyway, Liu Ziguang thinks it is still meaningful, the Ming Dynasty in its heyday, once spent two million and four hundred thousand taels of silver to build the Nanjing Da Bao'en Temple Tower, the existence of a pagoda can not bring any additional benefits, but this city in the sky has brought tens of thousands of job opportunities to the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of scientific innovations, has also accumulated experience in building large-scale complete sets of equipment, trained a large number of skilled workers and soldiers adapted to air combat, although the performance of the city in the sky is not so satisfactory, but it has created a new era, human beings have finally conquered the sky, but this meaning can not be measured by money。
Liu Ziguang leaned on the railing and looked at the vast earth, woods, fields, and ponds below, the shades were suitable, like an ink painting, looking down on the earth at this height, there was definitely a sense of God, the wind in the sky was very strong, Liu Ziguang's black gauze hat was strangled on his chin with a wind belt, the arrow sleeves on his body were wrapped in the wind, whirring, the entourage standing on both sides also held the aluminum alloy railing, pursed his lips tightly, looked ahead through the wind mirrors, the wind was big, and he couldn't hear the wind when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't hear clearly, an officer wearing a yellow commander's robe stretched out his hand and pointed to the hazy city wall in the distance, signaling the marshal to look over, that is, Tianjin Wei。
Liu Ziguang nodded slightly, he had already seen Tianjin City, the blue-gray city wall was hazy, and he could only see a square standing in the sky, looking down on the medieval city, there was a spontaneous sense of superiority, Tianjin City is in my hands!
The Red Shirts poured out, except for the two battalions of defenders left in Shanhaiguan, all pressed to the outside of Tianjin, the artillery was transported along the Haihe River, and an artillery position was built outside the city, and a large battalion was stationed outside the south gate of Tianjin, and the Red Shirts were arrogant and abnormal, and the barracks were even loosely and sparsely, and they did not even dig the drainage ditch, and it seemed that they were planning to kill Tianjin overnight.
In fact, the defense focus of Tianjin Wei is mainly in the coastal defense of Dagukou, Tianjin City itself is not much tall city wall, Dagukou is a lonely city, according to the report of the Qing soldiers who fled back, the Ming army's firepower is as fierce as a thunderstorm from the sky, not to mention counterattack, even if you can't open your eyes, after the bombardment, the whole person is dizzy, completely lost combat effectiveness, and a few people said that they saw the 100,000 heavenly soldiers invited by the Ming army, in short, this group of defeated soldiers was fascinated, The incoherent spirit had collapsed, and Tu Hai ordered all of them to be beheaded in order to prevent them from damaging the morale of the army, so the soldiers and civilians of Tianjin did not know the strength of the Ming army.
Tu Hai looked at the open space in front of the Ming army camp, sneered, hurriedly went down to the city, there was no moon that night, the dark hand did not see the five fingers, the south gate of Tianjin was quietly opened, three thousand cavalry led the war horse out of it, the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, the horse's mouth was also put on the cage bridle, and the three thousand elite soldiers were painted with ash on their faces, and the sabre was also painted black, and each person's left arm was wrapped with a strip of white cloth as a mark of identification.
It's very dark and can't see the road at all, but it doesn't matter, outside the south gate, a horse Pingchuan can gallop with confidence, for the sake of safety, the cavalry still led the horse and walked in the dark, the lantern hanging at the door of the Ming army in the distance is the best road signpost, to a distance of about a mile, the Qing soldiers have to get on the horse, draw out the saber, shout, slammed the horse's belly, and began to sprint, they are equipped with sabers and bows and arrows, but also equipped with clay pots, fierce fire oil and small bombs, the purpose of the camp is to blow up the artillery position of the Ming army.
Tu Hai was very cautious, he didn't think that the Ming army would set up an ambush, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still resolutely decided to go out of the city and rob the camp, because if the battle starts tomorrow, the chance of winning is less, and there is a glimmer of hope in the night attack, he told the soldiers not to rush into the enemy camp, just cast rockets outside the camp, the main target is the artillery position next to the camp, the pile of wooden boxes must be the gunpowder of the Ming army, the artillery and ammunition are eliminated in one fell swoop, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The distance of one mile is just right, the horse can run, carry the rider to the Ming army camp tent with a thunderous momentum, and release arrows, if the camp tent is empty, then turn the horse back, if there is no ambush, take advantage of the situation to kill into the camp, and use the saber to harvest the life of the Ming army.
Under the dark night, the riders could not see each other's faces, they could only see a lone lamp hanging on the gate of the Ming army in the distance, and in their ears was the heavy breathing of the war horse and the voice of the commander's lowered command, the soldiers wrapped the white cloth strips around their arms, grabbed the reins, and slammed the horse's belly towards the lone lamp, rushing towards the lone lamp, shouting rudely while running, in front of them was the Ming army camp, a mile of land, and it could be run in a moment, but it was this short one mile of flat open space, and three thousand cavalry could not break through.
The cavalry running in the front waded to the mines, and I don't know when the Ming army laid a large number of mines, there are stepping mines, and tripping mines, as well as a large number of thistles, terrestris, anyway, they are all quickly laid, blocking weapons, a ball of fire, shrapnel flies wildly, the first row of war horses were blown up to the ground, broken horses' legs, flying everywhere, the people behind did not have time to turn the horse's head, and the people in front tripped over the ground, and then touched more mines, and the explosions came one after another, clearly the Ming army's way.
The Qing army hurriedly accepted the team and did not dare to rescue the wounded comrades, for fear of being dumpled by the Ming army, and the horse was gone, suddenly a few points of fire flew into the sky, exploded, a brilliant fireworks, at this moment as a flare, the artillery of the Ming army had already been prepared, a round of shells hit the past, the Qing army killed and wounded countless 3,000 people and horses, only more than 1,000 people retreated, the Qing army was like a great enemy, all climbed the city wall to prepare to meet the enemy, who knew that the Ming army did not come to attack the city, and the flag was silent and returned to the camp to sleep.
The Qing army did not dare to go out of the city again to take risks, nor did they dare to slack off, so they could only stay at the head of the city all night, and when the sky was just dawning, the tired soldier saw a large area of unbelievable things in the sky in the distance, he rubbed his eyes and pushed the comrades beside him, but now the man had widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, and froze.
Tuhai, who had not slept all night, sat in the enemy tower and saw this huge flying object, Rong Ma was shocked for the first time in his life, although he had heard that the Ming army had something that could float in the sky, but he didn't expect that it was so huge, people were easy to think about Tuhai when their minds were confused, and his brain became mushy at this time, he couldn't understand how such a big bunch of things rose into the sky, the only credible explanation could only be that God was helping the Han people to send heavenly soldiers and generals to help them fight, thinking of this, Tuhai was determined and couldn't support it, and said in a trembling voice: "Withdraw."
