Lord of Ming Dynasty

Only then did Hu Kui feel that his troops were insufficient, the spread was too large, and he was in danger of being defeated one by one by the enemy.

The only way now is to move closer to the No.16 Field Division, which not only increases the strength of the No.16 Field Division, but also protects the security of the Corps Headquarters.

However, before they could react, the cavalry on guard outside told them to run back. The enemy's tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards this side, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which made the Corps headquarters even more flustered.

Hu Kui immediately decided to ask for help from the Merlin Fish Corps in Shanxi Prefecture. Only they could send troops and horses to rush for help as soon as possible. So shortly after he sent the messenger for help, the enemy cavalry came, and the Corps headquarters had to retreat. Self-protection in the county.

Dongfeng Po, on the other hand, faced the enemy's attacks in turn.

There are still tens of thousands of cavalry revolving around the trenches in the inner circle, and shooting from time to time, while the defending soldiers calmly wait for them to come up to attack. These are veterans of many battles, and there are not many recruits. I have fought several times. Although they are all assisting the servants and captured soldiers to attack, this low-intensity battle has trained them well.

Chapter 892 The Qing Army's Counterattack 2

"Raise the gun, get ready, and shoot." A regiment of the Huaxia Army in the trench repeated this mechanically exhaustedly.

Now it is no longer an attack by the Mongolian cavalry. Under the threat of the Huaxia army's cannons, the Qing army, which lost more than 2 cavalry, changed its tactics. They began to learn how the Huaxia army used cannon fodder to consume the enemy's bullets.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Field Brigade had been defending all night. With the fire support of the artillery brigade directly under the rear corps, the artillery company of their regiment, and the firepower of the three-pound guns carried by each company, each battalion With the support of the battalion-level six-pound guns they carried, the raging cannon fodder has piled up corpses half a meter thick from more than 100 meters in front of their position to the nearest 30 meters.

The Qing army also became ruthless, and drove all the captured nearby people to the front to shield them from the guns, and then they followed behind to attack, and they were cavalry and infantry. The artillery kept attacking the positions of the Huaxia army. It was blown up, many of the horses that could stop them were blown up, and the trenches were filled with corpses.

Now no one can clean up those corpses, they can only let them lie there, anyway, it is winter, it is freezing to death, and they will not rot for a while.

Now no one cares about how noble life is, and they don’t talk about massacres. There is time to pay attention to those in war. It’s better to kill more enemies and rest for a while.

The cruelty of war is a kind of exclamation, a kind of redundant thinking, made by those who did not fight when they have nothing to do in the rear.

Now the tired second regiment didn't even want to raise their eyelids. How could they have time to think about cruelty or not? Wouldn't it be better to wait for the enemy to come up without shooting?Later generations of Chinese people have very advanced thinking, and always think that the enemy is very powerful. If I resist too fiercely, the enemy will not only kill my wife, but also kill myself. It is okay to kill my wife, but not to kill myself, so I often Do some inexplicable things, such as Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast, with hundreds of thousands of troops, actually said that weapons are in the warehouse, the enemy comes and dies, kills himself, let the enemy come to kill, let everyone see if the enemy dares to kill them if they don't resist People, as it turned out, the Japanese apparently did not tune their minds into a channel with them.

Just like the city people think that the country people have the same so-called education as they do, and they don’t know how to punch them. They think that the country people can be intimidated by their so-called laws. Stabbed them.

That is to say, you can't judge other people's worldview by your imagined worldview. Now the Huaxia Army and the Qing Army are fighting each other. If you want to say that it is for world peace, let's negotiate. During the negotiation, you accused me of being too cruel, and I accused you Not the Han people, you said that I occupied so much land and lived for so long, the Ming land should be mine, you should surrender, maybe some people really think that the Qing Dynasty should rule the Han people, and should occupy the Chinese land, It can really talk about the Qing Dynasty.

It is really possible to talk about a Huaxia kingdom, and everyone lives in peace. Anyway, no matter how much land is lost, it has nothing to do with them. As long as they are still waiting to sell things and exploit the people, even if there is only one village left, they are willing. For people of insight, it is simply a crime and treason, but often the truth is not in the hands of patriotic people.

The Qing army was frantically searching for the people, frantically using cannon fodder to attack the Huaxia Army's defense line, and fought all night.

The next morning, Dongfeng got up early and knew that the battle had ended like this, so he went to sleep. He didn't have to stay up all night watching the progress of the war. It was enough for someone to be on duty. He knew that the battle would take a long time. For a long time, they do not have the advantage in terms of manpower, so they can only wait for reinforcements, mainly ammunition supply, with sufficient ammunition, he is confident to hold here.

The replaced third regiments of the brigades and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters are already in place. Today he is going to launch a few counterattacks, of course not to kill them, but to counterattack a large number of enemy troops, otherwise the enemy will hide behind and let some Cannon fodder came to attack the defense line, consuming their ammunition.

One day and one night, the three regiments took turns to fight against the enemy, and each brigade took turns. Casualties were inevitable. However, the Huaxia Army still resisted the attack of the Qing Army. With a mere 8000 troops, plus The more than 5000 troops of the punishment brigade withstood the successive charges of tens of thousands of cavalry, tens of thousands of cannon fodder, and tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers of the Qing army.

"Today, the first brigade is responsible for defending the county seat, and the second brigade is responsible for the positions around the county seat. At the same time, it helps the punishment battalion to guard the remaining prisoners and monitor the servant army. Follow the large force of the servant army to charge, one regiment is in the center to support, and the other regiment escorts the captured soldiers forward, and then releases the captured soldiers to charge to the death. Today our goal is to capture the outer positions, all the outer positions.

After capturing the outlying positions, the servant army escorted the captive soldiers and the people to defend the outlying positions. The three regiments retreated to each node of the outlying positions, towns and villages, and then arranged the servants around to defend these places. The cavalry went out to inspect and investigate. The Second Regiment sent some troops to drive the captives and civilians to help the three regiments build fortifications and connect the villages and towns to prevent the enemy from breaking through like yesterday. After achieving the goal, the front troops withdrew to the outer positions of the second line and joined the defense of these villages and town quests.

Well, that's what we're going to do today.Let's go down and arrange. Now the troops on the defensive front are waiting for the third brigade to return after the third brigade departs. They will follow behind and take care of the prisoners. After that, the troops directly under the division headquarters will take over the defense of the third regiment of the third brigade. .

The artillery regiment will support you. "

At the same time, in the camp of the Qing army, countless people came out with matchlock guns, and groups of people were driven towards the Huaxia army's positions like sheep.

Duolong said to Suo'etu: "This is the last army dispatched from outside the customs. If we can't win this time, we can only return to Yanjing. Facing the enemy's three-way army, we will A counterattack of nearly 120 million soldiers and horses was arranged. Each soldier and horse has more than 30 to 40 soldiers and horses, which is several times the enemy's strength. The servant army is no more than 1000 to 300 troops, although the enemy has many captured soldiers and civilian cannon fodder, but we have more here, the Yanjing area has a population of more than [-] million, and the Manchus alone have a population of [-] million."

Suo'etu said: "So what? Nothing can change the fate that we will be wiped out by others. They only marched with a regiment of 10,000 to 50 soldiers and horses, but they still have other soldiers and horses that have not been used. The southern line, they still have A regiment with [-]+ soldiers and horses is mopping up the enemy in Southeast Asia, and there are more than [-] garrison brigades that have been formed now. What we can do now is to delay the enemy's attack. If the emperor still wants to stick to Yanjing , the Qing Dynasty will surely perish, and retreating to the Northeast will give us a chance to breathe for a few years."

Duolong..., "Report—to the southeast, Huailai County found the enemy's corps headquarters troops, with a strength of about 1 to [-] people."

A strong man of the Qing army with thick braids, a shaved red boy's head, a bald forehead in the middle, a bald top, and thick braids from the hair on both sides shouted loudly in Manchu.

Chapter 893 The Qing Army's Counterattack 3

"Oh," Duolong and Suo'etu opened their eyes wide together. A corps headquarters is more exciting than surrounding a field division, and it seems that this headquarters is still alone, without the protection of troops.

"Brother, are you going or should I go?" Suo'etu said with a smile.

"Hehe, you can go." Doron humbly gave up the opportunity to Suo'etu.

Suo'etu felt wrong, "My lord, don't you want to make meritorious service?"

Duo Long said: "There must be someone here to take care of us, otherwise the soldiers and horses here will rush out, and we will be passive instead, don't you think?"

Suo'etu didn't know what kind of mentality this Duolong had, but he was still eager to catch the enemy's corps commander, which was equivalent to the existence of the former Daming governor and governor of several provinces.

The two men divided their troops accordingly. Suo'etu led 3 Manchu soldiers, [-] Mongolian cavalry, [-] Han flag cavalry, [-] Han flag cavalry, and [-] Xiangyong and Tuanyong soldiers, plus those captured along the way. More than [-] people drove to Huailai County.

Here Duolong's opponent Geshha said: "Send people to collect soldiers and horses from all over the country, and recruit soldiers and horses from those counties and prefectures, whether they are yamen servants, fast arresters, or young and strong. Fa-rectification."

Anyway, this place is going to fall, Duolong knows, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know, those who can escape, the people who claim to be Qing people have already fled outside the pass, those who don’t escape, and those who have the ability to escape, are not them The people of the Qing Dynasty, no one thinks this is unreasonable. Since they are not their own people, they have no scruples on the battlefield. It seems that other people's killing pigs has nothing to do with them.

Suo'etu left, Duolong continued to command the Qing army to follow behind the people, firing cold guns from time to time, the Qing army's guns were not as good as the Huaxia army's, so many, as many as they wanted, they lost a lot in a row There is less land, although the capital also has guns and guns, but with the retreat of the Qing army, officials have no intention of managing them, they just ask for it, and never invest, so the quality of guns is declining, and the output is getting less and less.

Of the 40 soldiers and horses, only [-] soldiers and horses have good guns and cannons. The guns and cannons of the [-] soldiers and horses are all the guns that were seized from the Kingdom of Jin before. The guns in the village are better than those of the Qing army, and there are even more. The guns in the hands of the villagers are not inferior to those of the Qing army, but most of the villagers are not strong in combat effectiveness, and no one organizes them, or organizes them. Not good, they will just rush forward in a swarm.

The artillery of the Huaxia Army began to sound rhythmically again, "Boom, boom, boom," one after another, they exploded one after another, and the selected points were the places with the densest crowds.

As the artillery fire blew up the large group of Qing army's attacking men and horses, the intensive firepower caused the charging cavalry to fall off their horses one after another, and a shout sounded from the Huaxia Army's position.

Then there was the sound of neat drums. Everyone knew the sound of the drums. This was the rhythm of the attack. Duolong lay on the crenel of a manor wall with both hands, leaned forward and looked into the distance. A row of dark blue uniforms stood up and raised their guns uniformly. Get up and aim at the front. With the faint whistle sounding, this is the baton in the hands of the squadron and company commander. Those soldiers of the Huaxia Army stepped forward and walked forward step by step. They shot at the Qing troops charging towards them.

In the confusion of gunpowder smoke, the firm footsteps never stop.

A mighty and domineering murderous aura exudes from his whole body.

The artillery on their left and right used flowering bullets to hit the Qing army at the front of the line one after another. At the beginning, the Qing army charged towards the enemy line. Some cavalry even ran to the front of the enemy line and brandished their scimitars, chopping off several enemy heads. , but was quickly shot to death, and even the horses were knocked down by the enemy. The Qing army could not approach them.

The Qing army's charge turned into the enemy's action of chiseling the wall like a chisel, and soon the wall collapsed. Whether it was the charging Qing army or the green battalion soldiers, the common people, and the bravery of the village, they all turned and fled. The blow was messed up.

The enemy counterattacked, this was Doron's first thought.

The second is that the enemy cannot counterattack successfully. He turned around and shouted, "Attack, let the cavalry attack, and stop them."

The answer to him was the more violent shelling by the Huaxia Army. Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of cannons. Generally speaking, ordinary people and village braves with little combat experience are completely frightened by cannons. And minced meat, many people escaped, and when they fled, they lost their strength. They squatted aside and vomited in a daze, or their feet softened, and they no longer had the strength or chance to get up.

The green battalion soldiers, who were coerced by the common people and the bravery of the country, threw away their guns and ammunition, took off their clothes, and ran away desperately. Anyway, they no longer wanted to fight. Even if they were caught, they would not die. Seeing those with guns and knives, they were shot to death directly, and they could temporarily save their lives by throwing away the guns and swords.

There were some people resisting the banner of the Han army, but facing their own people, they couldn't shoot. After shooting, they were snatched away by the people and the bravery of the township, and then they were beaten to death by everyone. Then the Han army flag was also wrapped and fled.

The cavalry had already fled and did not know where they went. They fled all the way, and the Huaxia Army chased them all the way, and soon caught up to the second line of defense on the outer line of defense. After many villages were attacked by artillery fire, the Qing army left the villages and began to flee for their lives. , So the later troops occupied the village, began to build fortifications, and many servants began to arrest people.

In this counterattack, the soldiers of the Guangqing Army arrested 8000 people, the Han Army Banners arrested tens of thousands, and the Green Battalion soldiers even arrested 3 people. The Qing Army only wanted to escape and could not fight back. The third brigade suffered few casualties. At the beginning, it lost a battalion of more than 16 troops. The other losses were shells and bullets, which were consumed in large quantities.

The people were taken to the rear, and the captives were placed on the spot to help build the fortifications. The third brigade retreated after attacking for a period of time, and the second brigade began to take over from them to defend the outer line of defense, connecting villages and towns. The defensive circle of more than ten miles, the servant army cooperated with them.

The Huaxia Army also captured nearly [-] war horses, nearly [-] war horses on and off the battlefield, dragging back the horse meat and horse broth made everyone very happy.

Even the captured people drank horse broth, but not many people could drink it, because they saw too much minced meat throughout the day, which was simply torture for the people.
