Chapter 969: Marching into Liaodong
Under the battle that night, Tianshuigouzi killed 368 Eight Banner soldiers and captured 581 people, only more than 500 Eight Banner soldiers fled desperately after seeing that something was wrong.
These captured Eight Banner soldiers, Maize and the other five people naturally did not think about recruiting them.
When the Daqing Imperial Court is completely destroyed, it will be almost the same, and then everyone will be considered a family, not the current situation where they are regarded as slaves.
However, the five people didn't want to see these banner men, and they didn't think about killing them.
Because in the next work such as digging coal, mining, and cutting trees, these people are also needed to contribute their own strength and contribute to the development of Tianshuigouzi.
In addition, they captured a considerable amount of grain, grass, weapons and tents during the battle.
There were even two jack cannons, as well as some gunpowder in considerable quantities.
However, the most surprising thing for them was that a total of 1,362 horses were captured, most of which barely reached the standard of war horses.
It means that for a long time to come, they will not have to worry about the horses of the cavalry troops.
In terms of itself, a total of 21 people were killed and 12 were seriously wounded in this battle.
No way! These rookies faced the last Eight Banners elite soldiers, and being able to achieve such a result can be regarded as a miracle no matter where they go.
Then, when they returned to Tianshuigou with a large number of captives and prisoners, the group of left-behind old and young people who were still worried and scared immediately burst into joy.
In their loud cheers, the more than 400 warriors were obviously different.
It was in this constant victory that their spirit was gradually cultivated; No matter what opponent you face next, even if you are outnumbered, you have the courage to take the initiative to charge.
And the more than 500 Eight Banner soldiers who escaped that night, even if the battlefield was far away from Fengtian City, there was only a distance of more than 200 miles between the two places.
Subsequently, the number of people who successfully escaped back one after another was only about 370; The remaining two hundred either starved to death and froze to death, or died in the mouths of wild beasts.
Even those who fled back had many of their toes frozen out.
It was these people who fled back and defeated them by Sweetwater Ditch.
Even the news that Lord Yuming, the general of Shengjing, who led the army, was killed in battle, was spread to everyone in Fengtian City in a very short time.
Let the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in the city everyone be terrified.
What to do? In the current huge city, there are only a few troops left.
Of course, it is to close the city gates, mobilize the old man and the half-grown boy to defend the city, and prevent those rebels from taking down this place as well.
At the same time, they sent messengers to General Ji Lin, General Hei * Jiang, and even to the Daqing Imperial Court in Guannei for help, begging them to quickly send troops to the rescue.
The problem is that up to now, General Ji Lin and General Hei * Jiang, both of them do not have many soldiers and horses themselves, and it is very difficult to protect themselves, where are the troops to come to support.
The Daqing Imperial Court, since the withdrawal of the Yin and Law Alliance, has finally been empty-handed.
It's just the gathered troops, which are ready to exterminate the trouble of the bandits' henchmen; Where you have time, come and take care of the affairs outside the customs.
There is also a more critical point, at this time of year, the weather outside the gate is getting colder day by day.
Where can the soldiers and horses in Daqing Pass withstand such a bitter cold?
Therefore, the matter of the Daqing Imperial Court really sending troops to go out of the customs to exterminate Tianshuigou has basically been arranged in two or three months.
But what they didn't know was that at such a time when the Daqing Imperial Court thought that Ha Qi was turning into ice, and the chaotic people like Tianshuigou could only hide at home in the winter.
December 24th, this important holiday in the West.
War Elephant, Maize, Mr. Nanze, Xiong Da, a group of four with three hundred and fifty horses, one person and two horses, with a large number of climbing plows loaded with supplies.
In this snowy weather, it was time to set off again.
Where to go? Of course, it is the Liaodong region, which is closer to the Obajia Peninsula and is weaker in Daqing, as an outpost for development.
Since that day, after the defeat of the Eight Banners Army.
They reported the good news to Hu Biao's dead street through the radio that had just been sent over a few days ago, using a clear code.
Then, as if sending a telegram asking for money, the one who died on the street praised them for their achievements.
Then, in the telegram, he pointed out sharply that although the current climate and environment outside the customs are relatively harsh, the remaining tasks have limited time, and they must take immediate action.
Overcome all difficulties, gain a firm foothold in the eastern Liaodong region, make enough arrangements, and make all preparations for the next mission that may take place in the background of the First Sino-Japanese War.
No way! Even this ghost weather dog doesn't want to go out, for fear of being frozen off a layer of skin.
At Hu Biao's request and urging, they could only start their march towards Liaodong after making as many preparations as possible, in this kind of weather where there would never be war in ancient times.
I'm going to kill it, and I'll take out one of the biggest local buns as soon as I can use it as my foothold.
Fortunately, although the weather was very cold, everyone in the team was full of confidence in the battle, and their morale was high, but their hearts were extremely hot......
******
Time: 01/6/07, early in the morning; This is less than three months away from the two side quests of the Xuange Battalion.
Location: Off the coast of Fujian Province, in a place called 'Duck Egg Island' by fishermen.
At such a time, the outside of the gate was already white, and the coldest temperature was minus twenty or thirty degrees.
On this small island, the temperature is above zero ten degrees, and it is two completely different worlds.
In the sound of the waves, Ms. Anne's faithful licking dog, Mr. Daniel, a Dutch man, was once again awakened by the loud slogan of 'five kilometers, I love you, run every day'.
Even if he arrived on this small island, it had been almost two months.
After waking up, thinking of the various experiences he had experienced during this period of time, this white-skinned man still felt embarrassed.
The most important thing is that who would have thought that Ms. Anne would actually be from the Xuange camp.
But if you think about it seriously, it doesn't seem to be too outrageous and incomprehensible.
Because there is only the legendary Xuange Camp, which is said to have a complete ancient heritage of the East, but also a legendary organization that has mastered the technology of the new era.
It is possible to appear Lady Anne, such an erudite, elegant, beautiful woman, as perfect as Angel Angel.
It was also after thinking of Ms. Anne that Daniel came to the spirit.
After getting up from the comfortable bed, washing up, he changed into his navy major uniform at the bottom of the box, and walked out of the wooden house.
Then, after seeing the almost formed ironclad battleship a kilometer away, Daniel couldn't help but fall into shock and stupor.
Even if it was an ironclad battleship, he had already seen it with his own eyes several times.
Every time I see it, I still have this reaction.
Everything, because under the busyness of hundreds of people, what was originally just a wooden armed merchant ship was gradually converted into an ironclad warship at an astonishing speed as if by magic.
The thick steel plates on the hull of the ship were joined together by a miraculous means.
Compared with the traditional riveting method, I don't know how much stronger the speed and sturdiness are.
The only pity is that the people of the Xuange camp are too good at keeping this magical technology secret, when carrying out the construction of steel plate connections.
The large curtain was rigidly blocked, and he was not allowed to get close to watch it at all.
If it weren't for the fact that before leaving, he swore to Lady Anne with his own reputation, that of his ancestors, and even of his soul, that he would work here with peace of mind.
Then he would have left here a long time ago, and he would not have taught these pirate-like fellows the slightest knowledge of the modern navy......
