Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Raid of the Wakos
Alexei and the European coalition did appear not far away, they were listening to the sounds of fighting and shouting, but they didn't act!
"Gotcha!" A ride came quickly, and he came to report: "Hurry! The Huaigar army can't support it! The Great Khan asked the kings to send reinforcements quickly! If it's too late, it's too late! ”
But Alexei and the others were silent, they were all waiting, and now sending troops can save the Huaigar army, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to defeat the Tang army!
Alexei said: "What's going on? Isn't the Tang Army chaotic yet? As long as they are in disarray, we will all rush out of the city and achieve a decisive victory! ”
All they have to do is the situation in the capital! Because Japan did it! Yes! Japan!
On the Tang Army's side, "Dada!" "The fast horse is coming, Zhang Biwu is looking at the battle situation, he sees that his army occupies an absolute advantage, and it is inevitable to win.
When he saw the fast horse, he couldn't help but wonder, what had happened? Quickly jumped off the horse and reported to Zhang Biwu: "Your Majesty, a large number of enemy troops have appeared in the capital!" ”
"What!" Zhang Biwu was shocked! He immediately calmed down, he couldn't mess around, let alone pass on the news to everyone, otherwise, everything would be bad!
Zhang Biwu just looked at the fast ride and asked him to explain the ins and outs of the matter!
Kuaiqi reported truthfully, it turned out that the Japanese army began to land, and they quickly broke through the Dagu Pass in Tianjin, which is the gateway to Tianjin, and it was broken here. Tianjin is not guaranteed. Tianjin is also the gateway to Beijing. When Tianjin is lost. Jingshi is also in danger!
This is the reason why the fast cavalry came at a high speed, because there were not many troops near the capital, and the Japanese had gathered 100,000 people, not only that, but also the armies of the Netherlands, England and other powers! These armies are small in number, but they have firearms in their hands! There are powerful cannons, and that's one of the things that makes people feel a headache.
Qin Huaiyu also told Zhang Biwu that there was no need to worry. The capital can be defended, so let Zhang Biwu not worry too much, and fight this battle well.
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was stupid, he originally thought that the other party would first incite Galdan to attack, and then the coalition army would attack again, but now it seems that the other party will attack the capital with a strange army.
Zhang Biwu believes in Qin Huaiyu, she is a good wife, with her, she can rest assured and safe. After all, after experiencing so many great tribulations, it is not up to Qin Huaiyu to repeat it. Survive it again and again!
Regardless of whether the capital will fall or not, this move will shake the morale of the whole army. Zhang Biwu originally wanted to hide it, but judging from the current situation, he couldn't hide it, and he could only tell the whole army.
How to tell the soldiers the law, but there is art, and the ultimate goal is to avoid the heart of the whole army being shaken! Of course, it is necessary to be able to encourage the morale of the military, which is the best result.
Zhang Biwu thought of what to say, he did this, he announced to the whole army that there was good news and bad news, it depends on whether everyone wants to hear the good news first? Still bad news.
So the soldiers felt strange, but now on the battlefield, what kind of commander is the emperor, but the emperor wants them to hear good news and bad news? What is the reason for this?
Rao so, and they thought they needed to hear the bad news. Whether it is good news or bad news first, Zhang Biwu has already thought of a countermeasure.
Since everyone wants to hear the bad news, let's talk to them about the bad news first! The bad news that Zhang Biwu said was that the Japanese had already attacked the capital, and the capital had been attacked, but the defenders of the capital had defended it, and they were going to make meritorious contributions.
And everyone who could have made great achievements and triumphantly returned like heroes, but now once they go back, they will not be as short as the defenders of the capital, and they will be shorter in front of them!
In this way, it is equivalent to a radical, and everyone is not satisfied with the current defenders of the capital who are slightly lower than their combat power in meritorious service, of course, everyone is not convinced!
They originally went out to make great contributions, but they didn't succeed, but those who stayed behind grabbed more credit, and no one was convinced.
But now look at the enemy, there are only 60,000 people, and only Li Guo, Cao Bianjiao, etc. can wipe them out, the credit is too little, and there is not much credit to grab! I wish there were more enemies!
At this moment, the soldiers are full of desire for merit, war! Yes! They just want to fight! You can make a difference!
Zhang Biwu is just waiting for this opportunity, even if your coalition army appears when the Beijing division is attacked, so what? On the contrary, it will make the whole army who are excited understand that the time has come for them to make meritorious contributions, and they will be more active than anyone else to take the credit.
Zhang Biwu is not worried about his side, as long as everyone is not messed up, everything will be fine! But he was still worried about the situation on the Jingshi side, could Zhou Yuji and Xia Wanchun keep it?
Even Xiaoyao looked in the direction of the capital worriedly, and was also worried about his mother.
Zhang Biwu sent a fast horse to the capital to report the good news on this side, which means that it is obvious to encourage the morale of the Beijing division and let everyone hold the capital, so as to wait for Zhang Biwu's army to return to the division to destroy the enemy.
Yes! The situation on this side of the capital is indeed dangerous, because the Japanese men and horses are coming over quickly.
Fortunately, I received the news earlier, and I quickly made preparations, and closed the city gates, not allowing people to enter or leave. At the same time, he also sent a fast horse to report to Zhang Biwu, so that Zhang Biwu didn't have to worry! will guard the city.
The defenders of the city were already standing on the top of the city, and some people were suggesting to Qin Huaiyu that if they wanted to defend to the death, they should arrange defenses in Tongzhou, Sanhe, Wuqing, and Baodi, so that the enemy could not attack the capital.
Qin Huaiyu denied it, she knew that there were only more than 40,000 troops in the area around the capital, and if the defense was arranged, maybe it would be defeated by the enemy, which would damage the strength of the garrison of the side, rather than this, it was better to shrink the troops to defend to the death, as long as the enemy army could not break the Beijing division in a short time, it would be a victory!
Therefore, instead of scattering and letting others defeat, it is better to let the Japanese and others march to the capital, so that they can be trapped under the fortified city, and they can summon reinforcements from all directions.
As long as the capital is not broken and Zhang Biwu can still defeat a strong enemy on the grassland, reinforcements from all over the country will come quickly. Zhang Biwu was also able to lead the main army back to help, and the enemy army at that time was not to worry at all.
The queen has said so, who dares to oppose the queen? Naturally, it did what the queen said.
Because the places around Tianjin have been breached, and there are not many defensive forces, it can be said that the Japanese invaders came to the capital very easily.
Although they have a lot of firearms, they have also been peaceful for a long time, after all, since Tokugawa Ieyasu was founded in Edo in 1603 by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the shogun of the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, they have not been accustomed to military affairs for many years.
Most of people's lives tend to be poetry, lyrics, painting, or tea art, and they have not understood what is called war and military use for a long time.
And the Japanese army is also negligent in training, and when it comes to using soldiers and fighting wars, they actually hate it very much in their hearts.
At the beginning, when the Southern Ming Dynasty was broken by the Manchu Yu Prince Duoduo to the south to break Jinling, some of the ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty proposed to go east to Japan, in order to ask Japan to send troops to help restore the country. But when they saw the situation in Japan, and what they did was inhuman, they naturally couldn't do it.
Now they are persuaded by the great powers, and they feel the strength of Zhang Biwu, and they are afraid that if Zhang Jun is strong, they will suffer misfortune.
The Japanese also knew that when they were in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol army wanted to cross eastward, if it weren't for a magical tornado, maybe the Japanese island would have been reduced to a slaughterhouse and suffered from the ravages of the Mongolian iron cavalry, but this incident also indirectly made the source Yoritomo defeat Taira Kiyomori, and forced to kill the brother Minamoto Yoshitsune who committed suicide with great merit Minamoto Yoshitsune strengthened military control and established a shogunate ruled by Wufu.
Now it seems that the Tokugawa shogunate also wants to establish its own strong state through military force and maintain the stability of the shogun's rule, just like the Kamakura shogunate. At the same time, eliminate one of the biggest hidden dangers too!
The Japanese army came as they were supposed to come, and they gathered under the city, and this noisy but chaotic situation couldn't help but make the people in the city laugh at first sight.
They even defeated the so-called strongest Eight Banners soldiers in the world, and none of these Japanese soldiers, who had been in peace for a long time and had reached 70 years of peace, had never experienced war, let alone killed or seen blood, and even had very little military training in peacetime.
As soon as it comes, it can be seen that the discipline of the army is not strict, and the military appearance is extremely chaotic, and the orders are not uniform, even if the orders of the chief general are issued, they are still in a mess. And it arrived one after another, and when the army came, it was extremely chaotic.
The defenders of the city can see at a glance that this is a team with no combat effectiveness, no one has been killed, and the army that has seen blood is a vulnerable paper army!
The defenders suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with such a paper army, they were very easy to deal with.
So he flew into the palace and wanted to report to Queen Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyu has come out, she has put on a military uniform, she wants to go to the city in person, and she wants to supervise the garrison of all armies.
Although the intelligence is the same, the Japanese army has been peaceful for a long time and has no combat power, and it is a big gap from the Japanese invaders a hundred years ago. It's just that I'm afraid that there will be some accidents, and the capital is very important, so it's better not to go out of the city easily. And I was afraid that the Japanese army was really a conspiracy, so I deliberately pretended to be weak.
Otherwise, when you see such a paper army, how can you not beat him hard?
Zhou Yuji personally came to report to Qin Huaiyu: "Queen Mother, please let Weichen lead a death squad out of the city to attack the Japanese Kou, first give the Japanese a dismount, and the city will be well defended!" (To be continued......)
