Chapter 854: Bombarding Niuxin Village, Catching Devils Alive
Ox Heart Village.
The first battlefield of Huguang gathered nearly 70,000 troops.
At this time, the cannon roared, the guns exploded like fried beans, and the charge and counter-charge were presented in front of the commanders of both sides like a textbook.
The wind is bleak, the flag is fluttering, and the battlefield filled with the smell of gunpowder tugs at everyone's heartstrings.
Both sides know that this is a strategic showdown that will decide each other's fate!
Each other is giving it their all.
Shaanxi-Gansu Governor Bao Ning led the timely reinforcement of Yansui Town, another main force of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, so that the defense line of Niuxinzhai, which had been attacked by 30,000 soldiers and horses of the enemy in turn, and became precarious, was stabilized again.
The horse team led by Ruilin, the chief officer of the Hubei army, had already appeared in the southwest of the battlefield, and the first town of the Hubei New Army, another main force involved in the battle, was making a detour to the rear of the enemy's flank.
This is the great tactic of "great detour, great outflanking" formulated by Prince Rui before the war to completely annihilate the main force of the enemy.
The premise of tactical success is to hold Niuxinzhai, an important town leading to Xiangyang, while completely attracting and nailing the enemy's main force.
Now it seems that the puppet fourth elder brother Chen Yonghui and the main force of the puppet army led by him have been trapped.
As long as the puppet army can't break through Niuxin Village, this will become Chen Yonghui's graveyard.
Although the Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu Green Battalion invested a total of 8,000 soldiers in this battle, it was worthy of being the ace army of the Qing Dynasty, and the strong combat effectiveness it showed did not disappoint Jia Liu.
Under the organization and command of Admiral Bao Ning, Yansui Town, which had just arrived, took the initiative to launch a counter-charge, and once forced the firearms battalion and the Yuanmingyuan guard battalion that were fighting in coordination with the Huguang Green Battalion to retreat for several miles.
At this time, on a commanding height, which was invisible to tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides, a group of officers were pointing at the map, and military newspapers from different directions were constantly gathering here.
"Hey, hey, where is the first town of the new army, where is it!"
"What's going on with the horse team, does anyone know!"
"Hey, pick up the artillery for me, the prince has an order, if the artillery can't arrive before evening, the military law will do it!"
"No, the second town of the New Army!"
"Tell you that you can't complete the task, come and see you!"
“.”
The officers of the guard were busy moving around, and most of them had no experience in big battles, so even though they knew that their troops were constantly moving closer to the battlefield, they were still a little worried in their hearts.
However, whenever their emotions began to be anxious, the prince who was as steady as Mount Tai not far away could always calm them down.
This is the power of leadership!
The breeze blows across the hills, bringing the smell of gunpowder as well as the smell of blood.
After several days of fierce fighting, there were casualties on both sides of the enemy, and many corpses and undead could not even be carried away from the battlefield.
The cruel side of the war made Jia Liu's expression never easy.
At this time, he was using a clairvoyant mirror to observe the movement of the battlefield.
Zhu Zhu also knew the significance of this decisive battle, so he couldn't help but say: "This place is firmly tied to the fate of the young master, and the strategic significance for China is the Gaoliang River of the Song Dynasty and the Tumu Fort of the Ming Dynasty!" As far as foreign countries are concerned, it is the Waterloo of France and the Grad of Germany, and there must be no loss! ”
The more Jia Liu listened, the more wrong he became, so he was so angry that he put down the clairvoyant mirror and glared at the bolt pillar fiercely: "Don't peek at my diary in the future!" ”
"Oh!"
The bolt pillar was a little aggrieved, and he didn't let him see why he handed over the diary to him for safekeeping?
He Shen was also on the side, he didn't have a clairvoyant scope, so he couldn't know the situation on the battlefield, but the smell of blood in the air told him that many people had died in this battle.
After sighing softly, he almost pleaded: "Dongge, stop fighting, it's too late to stop now!" The regent is still yours, and no one is robbing you! ”
Director A was furious when he heard this: "He Zhongtang, if you dare to shake the determination of the prince again, believe it or not, I will push you down now!" ”
"Minions!"
He Shen was fearless, "The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, you slave can kill me, can you still kill thousands of people with lofty ideals who are loyal to the emperor in the world!" Tell you this dog minion, they can't be killed, and they can't be defeated! ”
"Brother, don't do this."
Jia Liu is not very accustomed to the state of He Shen, because in the script, he is the protagonist!
"Dongge, virtuous brother, regent!"
He Shen actually knelt down for Jia Liu, and begged him, a virtuous brother, to stop bleeding anymore with tears in his eyes.
"Although the fourth elder brother has never led troops, the soldiers of the Eight Banners under his command are all elites of the imperial court, and the Huguang Green Battalion was built by you, how can you bear to let the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty kill each other for your own selfishness."
He Shen said that as long as the virtuous brother of the Eastern Pavilion stopped fighting, he would immediately persuade the fourth elder brother to withdraw the troops, and then the two sides sat down to talk, and guaranteed that the emperor would definitely fulfill his promise with his personality and life, and put the hat of the regent of the Qing Dynasty on the head of the virtuous brother of the Eastern Pavilion.
Even, the emperor can immediately pass on the throne to the twelve elder brothers, and from then on go to the wild to recuperate in the Old Summer Palace.
"Nope."
Jia Liu replied very simply.
First, he has already gone to Liangshan, and it is impossible to turn back.
Second, the Old Summer Palace has been mortgaged to him, and now it is his private estate, so there is no reason for Qianlong to live in it.
Third, he really wanted to be emperor.
The bolt pillar was on the side, but he said: "If Chen Yonghui surrenders now, my young master can consider the proposal of Lord Zhongtang." ”
Jia Liu didn't say anything, just looked at He Shen.
This is also a way.
He Shen didn't speak, he was completely dead.
Now, I can only hope for the fourth elder brother.
Relatively speechless and boring, Jia Liu turned around and continued to observe the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror.
The battlefield had become calm, and it seemed that another attack by the puppet army was repulsed by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Green Battalion.
"According to the king's order, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion fought well and fought bravely, and played the prestige of our Qing Dynasty soldiers, and rewarded all officers and soldiers with five taels of silver, and officers below 1,000 generals with a reward of 30 taels, and officers above the rank of half a future."
Half of the future is the cloud cavalry captain, the title of the Jia family for generations, and he does not receive 85 taels every year.
This can no longer be described as generous, but very generous.
You must know that the cloud cavalry captain of the Jia family was obtained by the old lady Jia Hanfu after a lifetime of fighting, and now the great-grandson has given at least fifty generals in the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion a cloud cavalry captain in one sentence.
This row of noodles is really terrifying.
Or ask the cub to sell Yetian and not feel distressed.
When the guards were about to give the order, they suddenly heard the sound of drums and horns in the air over the battlefield, followed by the sound of cannons.
With the rumbling of artillery, the puppet army that had retreated unexpectedly organized a group offensive again, and the tide poured towards Niuxin Village.
Judging from the flag, Chen Yonghui is studing!
The three major battalions of the puppet army, coating, firearms, and Yuanmingyuan under his command were all dispatched, and the Huguang Green Battalion, which was mainly rebuilt from Jinchuan Town, a subordinate of Jia Liuyan's troops, was also among them.
"The little four devils are really anxious."
Jia Liu smiled slightly, in order to ensure that Niuxin Village was not lost, he planned to let Baozhu take Sauron's guards down to reinforce, and at this time, tens of thousands of shouts came from his ears: "Break through Niuxin Village and capture Devil Six alive!" ”
