Chapter 851: Battle from the Dragon
Majiagouzi Gaojiazhuang, Prince Heshuorui, General Fuyuan's temporary residence.
It is less than thirty miles from the front line.
Jia Liu still recruited in person.
Facing his father-in-law Lao Bo, who was persuaded by his mother-in-law, he said emotionally: "In the past few years, because of self-cultivation, I have been too low-key, and I don't like to fight and kill, which has led many people to think that my force value has degraded to zero, which my son-in-law can't stand it, and people live a skin."
Another reason why he couldn't bear it was that Jia Liu felt that he was about to become an emperor, and he was the first holy emperor of the ages in Lao Ji's mouth, so if he didn't show his martial arts value to the transformation realm, he was a little sorry for the glorious title of "Holy Emperor".
After all, he, the Holy Emperor, still has to leave some classic military cases for future generations.
Yonghui Xiaoer took the initiative to send him to the door to beat him.
If you don't fight, you don't fight in vain.
When Lao Bo heard this, he first looked out of the door, then turned his face and sighed slightly: "Virtuous son-in-law, there are no outsiders here, my brother will tell you the truth, how did you get the title of Uneng Ibaturu, you don't have any coercion?" Frankly, it's too much water."
The implication is that people are self-aware.
How the Shandong bandits were pacified, Lao Bo didn't know.
But Lao Bo knew that his virtuous son-in-law had brought thousands of battalions of soldiers to fight the small hill guarded by dozens of thieves, but he was stunned and asked dozens of thieves to drive seven or eight miles.
At this level, it's really worrying.
The great progress made in the Huguang War was not achieved by fighting, but by buying it with money.
Jia Liu's face was red, and it was hard to say that he was actually an insider in the civil war, a layman in the foreign war, so he could only say: "Amma, you are too unrealistic, yes, my Baturu is a little watery, but it's not that I don't have any dry goods!"
Well, Wen Fu, A Gui, Mingming, Hailancha, Fukangan, Fengsheng, which of them is not a famous general in the Qing Dynasty, but who did these people do?
Others don't know, Amma, don't you count them all in one stomach!"
The son-in-law is a famous general.
Facts are facts and cannot be questioned.
Nowadays, so many people regard your son-in-law as the leading big brother, and tie their heads to the waistband of their pants to work with your son-in-law, including you, the same is true for your father-in-law, doesn't it mean that your son-in-law is born to be a leader and can win the support of everyone by nature.
How can a Baturu bring these!
Seeing that the virtuous brother and son-in-law insisted on recruiting in person, Lao Bo was not easy to persuade again, but he still asked his son-in-law to send an urgent telegram to the Urshi Baran Department entrenched in the south of De'an Province as a general, asking that Wubu must participate in the war against the Huangzhou puppet army.
The eldest cousin Song Chun has already gone to do Wu Er's ideological work, and it stands to reason that Wu Er should not be forcibly given a military order at this time, but Jia Liuxun thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of the Huangzhou puppet army to explore Wu Er's bottom, so he asked the guard office to issue a military order in his name.
It's also a disguised pressure.
If Wu Er is interested in leading the army to help, if he doesn't know how to be interested, his brother will not do it.
The general Wang personally marched, and he was full of elite soldiers.
Shaanxi Admiral Bao Ning led 8,000 Shaanxi-Gansu-Green Battalion soldiers, Hubei General Soldier Ruilin led 4,000 cavalry of the headquarters, Baozhu commanded 3,000 guards of the headquarters, and transferred 2,000 Huguang Governor's Guards to 3,500 people, and 3,500 artillery teams directly under Xingyuan, totaling more than 20,000 soldiers and soldiers.
At the same time, the mobilization order was also received by the first town of the New Army commanded by Zhang Dabiao;
the second town of the New Army led by Bao Guozhong, the commander of the New Army and the chief soldier of the Sichuan Green Battalion;
The third town of the New Army, which is the director of the education and learning department and the commander of the Hunan Army, Chang Bingzhong, is also the commander-in-chief.
The first town was the first of the three towns of the Hubei New Army to become an army, with a full capacity of 10,500 people.
The whole town is composed of infantry, artillery, horses, baggage, and engineers, and the equipment is all the first-class goods mobilized by Jia Liu from all over the country as a general, and there are 136 artillery pieces and more than 6,000 muskets.
Among them, the First Association, which belongs to the First Town, is equipped with 1,600 fast guns collected from the Iron Tool Room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
this
The kind of fast gun is the flintlock pistol that the Tianjin Military Industry Bureau is copying and producing on a large scale, which is not fired with a fire rope, but is fired with flint.
With a longer range than an arquebus, it is also more powerful, and it can be used in rainy days, making it arguably the most advanced rifle of its time.
According to sources in Tianjin, more than 5,000 poles have been developed for the training of the new army in the two towns of Tianjin.
Sixty percent of the soldiers were transferred from the escort battalion, the pro-military battalion, the Chengdu Green Battalion, and the Jinchuan Green Battalion, and the remaining forty percent were selected from the elite of the surrendered troops, and many of them were from their own soldiers.
The officers are all members.
It can be said that the association is the first in loyalty and combat effectiveness, and Jia Liu, the great general, has just set three times their salary, which is really a group of howling lords from top to bottom.
The standard of the First Association is Zhang Shisan, a member of the First Association, who has participated in a series of major military battles initiated by Jia Liu, such as the two robberies of silver cars, the assassination of Wen Fu, the assassination of Hailancha, the murder of Fukangan, and the death of Mingliang at night.
Although it is only a standard system now, it will also start as a major general in the future.
Compared with the first town, the second town led by Bao Guozhong and the third town led by Chang Bingzhong are obviously much weaker in terms of personnel and equipment and combat effectiveness.
And they are all dissatisfied.
The second town was formed with Chengdu Town, Sichuan Luying, as the core, together with the surrendered army, and at present there are less than 8,000 people in the two associations.
The other two main forces of the Sichuan Green Battalion, Chongqing Town, were taken by the deputy general Ma Dayuan to "surrender thieves", and Jinchuan Town was taken by Zu Yingyuan to rebuild the Huguang Green Battalion, which led to the establishment of Chongqing Town in the enemy camp, and Jinchuan Town is currently paralyzed due to the fact that the officer leadership has been put on the sidelines.
Chengdu Town is the only remaining town in Sichuan Green Camp.
The third town has just been reorganized, and the number of people in the association is less than 4,000, and the two towns together are about the same as the soldiers of the first town.
Therefore, the first town as the main force will cooperate with the main force of Xingyuan to attack the Huangzhou puppet army from the front, and the second town and the third town will be used as a reserve, and it is also part of the plan to solve the second division of De'an Wu.
After receiving the order, the troops mobilized very quickly, and the troops had actually completed their vigilance and combat preparations in the direction of Huangzhou, just waiting for an order.
If Jia Liu hadn't thought about resolving Huangzhou peacefully, the war would have started half a month ago and ended.
This is because it is easy to fight the green battalion and the green battalion to fight the thief soldiers, which is the unanimous consensus of the officers and men on the Huguang front.
After receiving the news of Huangzhou's move, the troops in the neighboring defense areas could be said to have high morale and enthusiasm, and they asked for battle one after another.
Many generals even privately told their subordinates that this battle could be called the Battle of the Dragon.
That is to say, all those who participate in this battle are from the dragon.
Lao Bo thinks that since his son-in-law has to go on the expedition in person, he should organize a departure ceremony in order to strengthen his momentum.
was rejected by his son-in-law on the grounds that he was working hard and hurting money.
The light car was simple, and he took advantage of the night to leave Xiangyang City.
Although the commander of the army should not do this kind of thing by himself, the commander, because this is putting the cart before the horse, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
However, when the meeting of the hundred official clans is about to be held, the Huangzhou puppet army group headed by Chen Yonghui has blatantly provoked a civil war.
Therefore, a quick solution is the keynote of this war.
It is also the keynote of Huangzhou.
The reason is that because Bo Qing, the governor of Huguang, ordered that all localities were not allowed to send grain and grass to Huangzhou, Henan also blockaded Huangzhou after receiving the secret order of Prince Rui, resulting in 30,000 horses and horses in Huangzhou about to fall into the danger of running out of grain.
After discovering that it was no longer possible to "eliminate" Devil Six with righteousness, and there were more and more officials who supported Devil Six and opposed the imperial court, there were only two ways in front of the fourth elder brother Yonghui.
The first is to pull 30,000 horses from Huangzhou, including the Huguang Green Battalion, to the north, so as to inject a shot in the arm to his Huang Ama, who lacks troops and major generals, and completely control the situation of the Beijing division with these 30,000 horses.
The second is to fight hard and make a thunderous move
Capture Xiangyang, smash the pseudo-Xingyuan command center established by Guizi Liu, deal a heavy blow to the prestige of Guizi Liu, and cut off its communication with various places, making it difficult to concentrate forces, and finally punished by national law.
Yonghui wanted to take the first path, because he had no experience in leading troops to fight at all, and he had an instinctive fear of war.
The problem is that the Henan side is obviously bewitched by the devil's six tricks, and is hostile to him, the general Wang Xingyuan, the fourth son of the emperor, and refuses to comply.
In the absence of food and grass and lack of local support, and in the face of the attack of the six troops loyal to the devils, how could his fourth elder brother arrive in Beijing with 30,000 horses.
Most likely, it will disintegrate on its own on the way.
After all, although Xingyuan controlled the high-level generals of the Huguang Green Battalion, his control over the lower levels was also weak.
At present, if you don't move, you can still suppress it, but when you really move and face a great crisis, how can the tens of thousands of horses in the Huguang Green Camp be obedient.
In the end, under the persuasion of the co-organizer of the university, the commander of the army, Ai Xing'a, and the scholar of Wenhuadian University, Dong He, Yonghui chose the second way - let go and go straight to Huanglong, and the battle was decided!
The first shot fired in the crusade against the female rebel devil six was the commander of the escort army Badama, who commanded the Baoyi battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This person really has some ability, first of all, he made a confusing deployment, so that the Jiangxi Green Battalion that was guarding against them relaxed its vigilance, but as a result, it was raided by Badama, and the general Ma Youde made successive command mistakes, which eventually led to the Jiangxi Green Battalion being broken through by the Badama Division.
As many as 2,000 were killed and captured, and the remnant were scattered.
General Ma Youde escaped in disarray with dozens of personal soldiers.
The victory in the first battle greatly inspired Yonghui and others.
Badama also led his troops to continue to march westward, until they reached Niuxinzhai, the only place leading to Xiangyang, and was contained by the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp Shaan'an Town, which was stationed here.
In order to capture Niuxin Village, Yonghui pressed all the troops he could mobilize, and in the face of the fierce attack of the Eight Banners Army several times his own, Cao Dahua, the chief soldier of Shaan'an Town, had to rush to Xingyuan Kuaima.
On the ninth day of April, Xinghan Town of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion arrived in time under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Zhang Dajing, and the arrival of reinforcements relieved the whole town of Shaanxi, which had been holding out for three days, and at the same time prepared for the next decisive battle.
Obviously, the small Niuxin Village was chosen by history and became a main battlefield that decided the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
The soldiers and horses of both sides gathered more and more, and by the 13th, the total number of troops gathered here by the two sides reached more than 70,000.
The much-anticipated Prince Heshuorui also arrived at the battlefield and chose to set up a retreat in Gaojiazhuang, which is less than thirty miles away from Niuxin Village.
Jia Liu's first military order when he arrived at the front line was to ask Ma Youde, the general of the Jiangxi Green Battalion who had lost his defensive line, to come to see him.
Ma Youde knew that he was guilty, and he also knew that he would inevitably be severely punished by the general Wang, but he did not run away, but honestly brought a few attachés to listen to the Hou's disposal.
After arriving at Gaojiazhuang, there were immediately royal guards wearing yellow coats to control Ma Youde and his party, and then asked Ma Youde to go with them.
Ma Youde didn't dare to disobey the order, so he went to the camp of the prince of Zhuangzhong with the guards, and he was thinking about how to defend himself, and finally thinking about how to defend himself was useless, it was better to honestly admit his mistakes.
Unexpectedly, the guards took him in the other direction, not to the Zhuangzi at all.
This made Ma Youde very surprised, and couldn't help but ask why he didn't take him to see the prince.
The leading guard looked at him, shook his head, and said, "The prince is not here."
"Not here?"
Ma Youde looked confused, the prince is not here in Zhuangzi, why is the flag and honor guard of the great general Wang Xingyuan here.
Even the long banner of "Loyal to the Country", which has never left the prince since he went south, is also planted in the center of the Zhuangzi - a high ground that is significantly higher than the surrounding terrain.
You can still vaguely see two black pigs lying on their stomachs under the flag.
It seems that there is a pigsty there.
