Lord of Ming Dynasty

Wan Dou Ni's next task Zhang Qiang has already arranged, after adjusting the deployment, he will immediately attack the Houma Mansion, and the Yuncheng Mansion behind will be defended by the Field Brigade.

After settling down here, Zhang Qiang began to pay attention to Merlin Yu.

On Meilinyu's side, they successfully attacked along the bank of the Yellow River, almost surrounded the coastal mansion, and their soldiers approached Yulin County.

However, the Ninth Field Division, the direct descendant of Merlin Yu, was attacked here by the Qing army from the coastal provinces. Yao Qisheng might have sensed the purpose of the Huaxia Army and fought back desperately.

The [-] Goguryeo troops and the [-] Mongolian cavalry stormed the troops of the Ninth Field Division who had just taken over the position of the Tenth Field Division.

At Gangu Town, the intersection in the mountain leading to the ferry, a regiment of the [-]rd Field Brigade of the Ninth Field Division held on for three days, and then was driven out of the town by the enemy and captured this intersection. The two regiments behind One guards the road at the back, and the other guards the road in front. The brigade headquarters is stationed in a village not far behind. A steady stream of supplies are transported up by the elite militia brigade and stored here, because this is an important intersection and is used to block the enemy. An important location, so a large amount of material guarantee is required.

A battalion that escaped and an elite militia squad that escorted supplies were quickly dispatched by the brigade headquarters to various important locations on the surrounding mountains, and the artillery was sent to high places.

The enemy cavalry is coming.

Three thousand Mongolian cavalry passed through the mountain path to the outside of the village in several groups, and rushed towards the village.

The cavalry company directly under the brigade headquartered quickly attacked. After shooting at the enemy for a while, they charged with sabers and defeated more than 1000 Mongolian cavalry with half of the casualties. The position of the army was built during this time, and the cross fire prevented the enemy's cavalry from rushing into the village.

Under the cross fire, the Mongolian cavalry fled. They were attacked by the artillery on the top of the mountain on the way, and suffered heavy losses. It is not important for both parties, because there are not many people.

The enemy's cavalry was easily defeated, which made the officers and soldiers of the third field brigade very excited, and even the field regiment that had lost two battalions earlier was also very happy.

But then, under the cover of cavalry and artillery, with a battalion as the main force, when they attacked Gangu Town along the mountain road, they encountered huge resistance.

The enemy's cavalry came out to harass, and the enemy's cavalry was defeated in front of the dense guns, but this was not once, but nearly twenty times, so the battalion suffered huge casualties, and cavalry always jumped out from unexpected places to attack the enemy. The battalion took heavy losses.

After marching for ten miles, the battalion was unable to leave. The artillery behind could only find high ground to set up camp, and at the same time, cavalry had to cover it. The brigade headquarters immediately sent a battalion of an ordinary militia team to help the battalion consolidate its position. A battalion of 300 men is likely to be surrounded and wiped out by the enemy.

The first day passed like this. On the second day, the third field regiment sent a battalion to occupy the flanking hills, and the first regiment also sent a battalion to detour from the flank to Gangu Town, which was guarded by the enemy.

Also blocked ten miles away from the target.

The brigade sent a battalion of elite militia to assist them, along with dozens of cavalry.

The enemy began to attack the transport team of the elite militia brigade transported behind them again, and the elite militia brigade was also nailed to death on the way of transportation, dozens of miles away on various sections of the mountain road.

According to investigations, the enemy's soldiers and horses are slowly unfolding, and [-] Mongolian cavalry are attacking the troops of the Ninth Field Division on a road that is tens of kilometers long in this area.

The Ninth Field Division quickly dispatched cavalry regiment-scale cavalry to fight the enemy cavalry, and asked an ordinary militia brigade in the rear to quickly catch up to support the elite militia brigade.

And the cavalry was drawn from the first brigade in front to protect its rear transportation line. The entire Ninth Field Division stopped on the mountain road and began to build camps, blockade and garrison this area, and attack the enemy.

After the [-]nd Field Brigade sent a regiment to reinforce the [-]rd Field Brigade, the [-]rd Field Brigade had sufficient strength and began to move forward. Another garrison regiment, with the help of two cavalry companies, crossed the camp of the [-]rd Regiment Marching towards Gangu Town, the soldiers finally reached the place three miles outside Gangu Town.

The field regiment quickly built the fortifications, and met the enemy's counterattack of 1 Mongolian cavalry, repelling the enemy, but at night, more than 2000 Goguryeo soldiers rushed forward, fearless in the face of fierce firepower, with [-] casualties In order to pay the price, they entered the camp of the field regiment and fought fiercely all night. The garrison had to abandon the camp and retreat seven miles to the camp of the previous regiment.

Nearly 600 people from a battalion were lost overnight, and a lot of supplies were discarded.

The next day they hadn't recovered, the enemy pounced on them again. Nearly 1 Goguryeo soldiers armed with outdated Jingai 3000 matchlock guns and rushed fiercely. More than [-] people were killed and injured, and they almost entered the battlefield. camp, but they were finally repelled by the artillery fire on the top of the mountain and the counterattack of the third garrison regiment on the other side.

In the afternoon, when a squadron of an elite militia brigade arrived, the strength of the troops was more sufficient, and a small squad was sent to assist in the defense of the artillery position. In the end, under the cover of artillery fire, the troops of the elite militia brigade of 1000 people bypassed the foot of the mountain under the clearing of the cavalry company, transported a lot of supplies to the second field brigade, and stayed there to strengthen the strength of the second field brigade. troops.

The strength of the other two teams built supply stations along the way to defend those supply stations, and the task of transportation was handed over to the cavalry regiment and the ordinary militia brigade.

After sufficient strength, the third field brigade assembled two regiments with a total strength of 3000 people, and at the same time, under the cover of a battalion of artillery, continued to advance towards the enemy-occupied Gangu Town.

Facing the impact of the enemy cavalry, the cavalry company continued to fight back, and finally reached three miles outside the town and entered the previous camp. The camp had been destroyed, but it was quickly repaired.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang felt how difficult the battle of the Ninth Field Division was more than ten days ago. The enemy's strength was five times that of theirs, and it could be seen that the enemy was worried and panicked about being cut off from the rear. Ten thousand troops attacked the Ninth Field Division.

The arrival of the two militia brigades in the rear brought the strength of the Ninth Field Division to more than 4, and the strengthening of the cavalry regiment brought the strength to just [-]. But Zhang Qiang knew that the enemy would not be satisfied with giving the Ninth The field division caused some troubles, and the loss of only [-] troops did not reassure the enemy, and the enemy's attack in those few days lost at least [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

This is still a mistake caused by the Ninth Field Division's panic and underestimation of the enemy. If it is in a serious position, the Ninth Field Division can completely defeat or defeat the enemy's attack of [-] troops.

But by that time, the enemy will not have 30 troops, but 60 or even [-] or [-] troops, because Shaanxi Prefecture has just been occupied by the Huaxia Army, and a lot of work has not been completed. The enemy is likely to recruit the people and landlords around the coast The servants and others join in, and then the test of the Merlin Fish Corps comes.

Eight, nine, ten, the strength of the four field divisions is less than 6, plus two militia brigades, but more than [-] soldiers and horses, and a cavalry brigade was sent to the Bagyaru Corps, so what can be used? There is only the garrison brigade in the rear.

In this way, the strength of 50 troops cannot be filled, and the enemy has nearly [-] troops, and the strength of the troops is very different.

If the enemy mobilizes all their troops to come back to compete for the intersection and want to escape back to Shanxi Prefecture, then facing the Merlin Fish Corps with five times, six times, or seven times the strength of their own, can they guard the Yellow River for hundreds of miles? The tenth field division is going to support the Gaohui field division somewhere, and it is definitely impossible to return, so the pressure on the ninth field division will be great.

Thinking of this, he asked Wang Yuqun to be called back, and ordered him to immediately gather all the remaining troops of the Eighth Field Division, and immediately go north to the Weinan Plain to support the Merlin Fish and make the Merlin Fish Corps complete.

Then he issued an order to Hubei Prefecture in the rear, and immediately dispatched two garrison brigades to defend Henan Prefecture. After Wang Yuqun left, Henan Prefecture's troops were empty.

The garrison brigade was transferred by him to Wan Douni and entered Shanxi Prefecture. The other garrison brigade could not defend such a large place anyway, and there was another garrison brigade that could not move. They guarded the area east of Sanmenxia to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Attack the hinterland of Henan Province.

Chapter 859 The Loyalty of Two Great Qing Han Officials

Where is Zhang Qiang worried about the strength of Meilinyu, and sent Wang Yuqun's Eighth Field Division to reinforce the Meilinyu Corps to solve the problem that the Ninth Field Division was trapped in the mountains, unable to advance and counterattack, and other troops and horses had their own tasks. The embarrassing situation of front and back.

Sometimes wars are like this. For various reasons, the planned things will always go wrong, because they don’t know enough about the enemy, because they underestimate the enemy, and because of various objective reasons. In short, no war has a perfect start or end. For a perfect ending, there will always be various accidents, even if the Huaxia Army is already as powerful as the U.S. military during World War II in this world.

As for the Coastal Prefecture, Yao Qishengtong, who was the governor and governor of the three regions and the governor of the Five Armies, had just been appointed as the prefect of the Coastal Prefecture, and Yu Chenglong, the governor of Shaanxi Prefecture, was discussing the situation in the government office.

"Brother Beiming, it seems that the Han thieves are deliberately letting us enter Shaanxi Prefecture, and then let their two corps gather and wipe us out. The traitor Zhang Qiang has a lot of plans, hmph, I don't know him Is the mouth of the teeth very good, and I am not afraid of breaking the teeth. Our 50 army is divided into three groups to attack, and there are nearly 30 civilians behind. With so many soldiers, how can his mere two corps be able to eat?"

Holding a cup of steaming Longjing tea, Yao Qisheng looked at Yu Chenglong across the table and said.

Yu Chenglong folded his hands inside the horseshoe sleeves, sitting like an old farmer, the bushy beard above his mouth trembled slightly, and his eyeballs slowly rolled in their sockets, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing Yao Qisheng's words, he reminded him in a low voice: "Master Yao, Shang Kexi's [-] troops have been wiped out by Zhang Qiang, the leader of the Huaxia Han Army, and Shang Kexi's head has also been passed to the nine sides. Suo Etu In Yinchuan County, [-] Mongolian cavalrymen and [-] Muslim infantrymen were killed, and Wu Sangui's [-] troops have stormed Yulin County for a month, killing and injuring more than [-] people, and Yulin has not yet been captured."

He took a deep breath and continued: "The Tenth Field Division of the Merlin Yu Corps has been rushing towards Yulin non-stop. It is only 160 miles away from Yulin. After this trip, our troops have lost 15 There are as many as 30, and our troops here are only in the early [-]s. We must divide our troops to attack Gansu Prefecture, Ningxia Prefecture, and Lanzhou Prefecture.

There are 10,000+ soldiers and horses in Suo'etu. Now facing the enemy's heavy defense, they have already shown signs of decline. Most of them are cavalry, and cavalry attacking the city has always been an impossible thing. Even if he mobilizes the Mongolian and Hui people from the surrounding grasslands to serve as infantry, they will not be able to make meritorious deeds in the face of the elite Chinese army who are good at attacking and defending, and have sharp firearms.

If the [-] soldiers and horses led by Lord Duolong go deeper, they will be cut off by the First Guard Division of the Huaxia Army. At this moment, we are indeed in danger. "

As he spoke, he closed his eyes with a very sad expression.

Yao Qisheng touched the teacup, "Don't panic, even with the loss of so many troops, our army still has 40 soldiers and horses. A few days ago, I sent people to look for the scattered Qing troops. Gathered more than 50 people, took out [-] civilians who followed, and threw in another [-] Goguryeo soldiers, and [-] people entered. Soon these soldiers and horses can be trained into an army, and our army has another [-] soldiers and horses. This weapon, alas, can only be replaced with some captured muskets and some bows, arrows, knives and halberds, otherwise, Lord Suo'etu can only break through the encirclement of the enemy and use cavalry to transport some of them to us, and this is the only way to go now."

Yu Chenglong nodded, "Master Yao, then I will go to the front line to inspect first. The road to Yanmen County in Shanxi is the rear route of my army, and I have to go and supervise myself."

Yao Qisheng nodded slightly, "Master Yu is very thoughtful, even though those Goguryeo soldiers are hard-working and have strong endurance, but after all they came to our Shang Kingdom, they are far away from home, thousands of miles away, and the enemies they face are fierce The Chinese bandit Zhang Qiang and the Huaxia Army are leading the army, if there is no one to supervise them, I am afraid they will panic before the battle and will not be willing to sacrifice their lives for us."

Yu Chenglong knew that this was Yao Qisheng guessing the psychology of Goguryeo soldiers from the mentality of the people of the Qing Dynasty. He had nothing to say. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, because it was used to judge the psychology of the soldiers. Yao Qisheng and he were both officials of the Qing Dynasty, and they had to think about the Qing Dynasty. If the ship capsized, they would have nowhere to go.

In the past, there were still several places to go, but now the Huaxia Kingdom has recovered most of the entire Huaxia, and all the forces have been wiped out. They have no place to run if they want to run, and no place to pledge their allegiance if they want to.

In fact, everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty is on the verge of extinction. The Chinese Kingdom is just around the corner. Many Han officials are actually trying to escape from this ship, but they can't. They have already penetrated into the bones of the Qing Dynasty. Although the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty are not favored by the people, they are actually the pillars and pillars of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty can only be strong by showing off its power, and it is no longer what it used to be when facing the young Chongzhen. This kind of forge ahead, thriving, very powerful.

Saying goodbye to Yao Qisheng, Yu Chenglong brought his Fubiao, Biaotong. This organization was originally the organization of the Qing army in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It was equivalent to the regiment-level organization. , Whistle, shed, the corresponding Western military system is, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, that is to say, his bidding is equivalent to the establishment of a regiment, and he took this regiment to the front line in person , Supervising the frontline generals to attack the Ninth Field Division of the Merlin Yu Corps of the Huaxia Army that blocked their back.

And Yao Qisheng took over the government affairs and military affairs here, in fact, it is mainly military affairs. Their purpose is to occupy this place. They are all soldiers and horses, 30 soldiers and horses, and more than [-] newly-arranged soldiers and horses under training are crowded around a coastal mansion, this barren mansion city on the Loess Plateau. What Yao Qisheng needs to do is to find these people Eat, coordinate the accommodation of these people, and then contact the generals at all levels to know where their soldiers and horses are and what they are doing. As for how to fight, that is the business of the generals below.
