Chapter 86 Fierce Battle in Tianjin
Although the shotgun blessed by black gunpowder will not kill the Bayala in front, it can completely destroy their war horses
Kill them all!
At once, nearly half of Bayala were all down!
Then there was the second shot. At this time, Bayala behind had already advanced to a distance of nearly twenty meters!
"Boom..."
All the second shotguns were shot out!
By the time the remaining Bayala broke into the Truqin army, it was already sparse. At this time, this
Truqin Camp had quickly carried the shotgun behind him, and then restored his saber and pistol to dress up! When they completely passed the few remaining Bayala, they followed the eight banner soldiers outside the Pass behind Bayala
It slowed down immediately!
This is exactly in line with Truchen's expectations.
Bayala is the elite of the Qing army, both inside and outside the pass.
The responsible person in the pass is to protect the safety of royal relatives and generals from all over the city. He is not good at practicing martial arts at all times
The people outside the pass were all picked out from the East China Sea Jurchens and Soren people, which was extremely brave.
Generation.
If it were in the early Qing Dynasty, these Bayalas would only appear in key battles, and they would not need them in general battles
Those who appear, but once they go out, they are almost invincible!
Even if there is a loss, the loss of 10% is the heaviest. If we talk about the so-called "Manchus
But 10,000, no fight" There are still some credible words, and it is the most correct to use them on Bayala.
Bayala, that was the last glory of the Qing army at this point.
But when they faced the Truqin army, they disappeared in one meeting!
This will inevitably have a great impact on the inner heart of the Eight Banners behind the Guanwai.
The war is also courageous, and the fighter planes are all in the flash. Just as the Eight Banners outside the Pass restrained the horses and slowed down, the Truqin army had already raised the horse speed to the highest, and then ran through the gaps like countless surging torrents!
The subsequent war was not good. Even the Eight Banners outside the Pass were not much more powerful than the European cavalry, Kazakh cavalry, and Persian cavalry.
The general Eight Banners soldiers only had a sabre in their hands. When they suddenly encountered the close-range shooting of the Truqin army or continued shooting, their fine traditions of their ancestors who were still full of courage in the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, which were still full of courage, were not inherited to them.
The three-eyed gun is just a one-time launch object. After it is fired, it can only be used as a hammer, but the pistol in the Truqin army can shoot continuously!
This is something they can't imagine.
When the first pistol sounded, the miserable situation in Bayala in front of them involuntarily surged into their hearts, and then there were the trembling plants and trees swept by the strong wind.
The Truqin army easily crushed the Eight Banners outside the Pass!
After defeating the Eight Banners outside the Pass, the brigade dragged behind immediately launched an attack on the Green Camp cavalry following behind.
There is no suspense. Facing the unheard weapon of shotguns and pistols, the Green Camp soldiers collapsed much earlier than the Eight Banners soldiers, but they ran much faster and soon fled back to Zhou Yuanli Camp.
Originally, there were bridges on the Haihe River, but after the Truqin army arrived, they destroyed them all in order to facilitate navigation of their warships. In this way, they separated the Eight Banners of the Mongolian and the Green Camp soldiers.
When the battle in the south started, even if the Eight Mongolian Banners wanted to come over to rescue, they would not have the opportunity to have an opponent!
The division of Harachi has already driven to them!
There are 15,000 people in the Eight Banners of Mongolia and less than 10,000 people in the Harachi Division. It seems that they still have the power to fight, but Prince Wangzaldorji, the Korqin, dared not take the battle before receiving Qinggui's order.
What's more, when the Qing army attacked the Junggar, the main force used was the Mongolian Eight Banners. Their miserable defeat by the Truqin army must have been passed to Wanzaldorji, so he did not dare to take the initiative.
It is strange that after defeating and even annihilated the Eight Banners outside the Pass, the Truqin army did not take advantage of the victory and began to confront the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers under the city of Tianjin.
The Truqin army fought with superior forces for the first time in his life. Almost no Eight Banners escaped. Even Qinggui was captured because of his fall in war horses.
Therefore, although we know that the battle has occurred, we do not know the specific results of the battle, whether it is Wanzaldorji or Zhou Yuanli.
Tianjin City, that night.
As the prefect of Tianjin and the general of Tianjin Town, the battle in the daytime was obviously not something to be heard of. They also only knew that the battle had occurred in the distance, but they did not know the specific results.
As mentioned earlier, the three brigades of Marha - the brigade of Marha, Luo Fangbo, and Lin Taiping brigade have surrounded Tianjin cities on both sides of the Haihe River. Except for the Haihe River, there are 1,500 people on the remaining three sides.
However, it seems that in order to implement the tactic of three sieges missing one, they only surrounded three directions during the siege, leaving huge gaps between each strengthening regiment. Wangzaldorji and Zhou Yuanli can still maintain contact with the city through these gaps.
Embarrassingly, because he was afraid of the combat power of the Truqin army, Zhou Yuanli did not send reinforcements to Tianjin City.
According to the regulations of the Qing army, they set up a general town in Tianjin City, with 3,000 troops. Except for Tanggu Port, Dagu Port each had 500 people, and the remaining 2,000 were stationed in the city.
There are one thousand people in the two cities across the Haihe River.
The sky was completely dimmed. At this moment, two armies suddenly drove from east to west and west, with about five hundred people, all of which looked like dusty and dressed in the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
In Tianjin City, the prefect's yamen is located in the west city, while the general's yamen is located in the east gate. During the war, they each guarded one city.
When he learned that the "defeated" Eight Banners outside the Pass had entered the night to "escape" here, the prefect Yuanguang and the general Yang Helin were shocked.
Qinggui came to the East City, which was very clear under the reflection of torches, while the deputy commander came to the West City, and the person in charge of answering with the officials in the city was their personal soldiers. They had always seen it, neither Yuan Guang nor Yang Helin thought about it, and hesitated for a moment and put it in.
As soon as the door opened, the "Eight Banners Soldiers" rushed in!
It is still a familiar routine. The reason why the Truqin army attacked the Eight Banners outside the Pass in Yangliuqing Town was that in addition to being a little far from Tianjin City, they were sure to defeat reinforcements before they arrived, and naturally they also had the intention of annihilation and depriving them of their military uniforms.
Without Junggar, the Battle of Guangzhou, whether it was Qinggui, the deputy commander or their personal soldiers, they would obviously not obey the orders of the Truqin army, and even if they were killed, they would not have been killed. But everything would have a process.
Since the Qing army experienced the Opium War, it has been full of war. Therefore, a mere 10,000 Eight-Nation Alliance can make Empress Dowager Cixi abandon the entire tall and solid Beijing city and flee west in a hurry.
It’s not that the Qing army had no combat power at this time, but that they were completely afraid.
The Truqin army in the 18th century perfectly replaced the position of the Eight-Nation Alliance in later generations, and they were probably more afraid of it than the Eight-Nation Alliance.
In the Battle of Junggar, the Qing army concentrated their most elite forces. In the Battle of Guangzhou, the navy almost all over the country, and was eventually defeated.
Once this invincible impression is formed, it will be out of control.
At this time, the Qing army could still defeat the Xichuan chieftain, attack Guergu, and annihilate the White Lotus uprising, but it was indeed difficult to deal with Truqin, who was already a modern army.
But this place is the capital of the capital. Once Emperor Qianlong makes up his mind to stick to it, the Truqins will not be able to take over the city of Beijing with the power of one army.
Therefore, it is still necessary to take advantage of the opportunity.
Less nonsense, after the two Truqin soldiers pretended to be the Eight Banners of Manchuria and opened two Tianjin cities, east and west, without any accidents. Under the attack of their terrifying shotguns, the Green Camp soldiers in the meeting surrendered!
The Truqins took over Tianjin City!
In fact, as long as the Tianjin magistrate Yuanguang and general Yang Helin think about it carefully, they will understand that even if Qinggui is defeated, he will still escape into the camp of Zhou Yuanli and Wangzaldorji. He will not go into Tianjin City far away, but the power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has always been too great.
What's more, the Eight Banners outside the Pass, whose power is more than the ordinary Eight Banners?
After taking over Tianjin City, Truqin immediately closed the gaps in the siege that were specially left behind. This also made Zhou Yuanli and Wangzaldorji on the periphery confused and did not know what was going on in the city.
After defeating the Eight Banners outside the Pass and taking Tianjin City, the Truqins had much more room for maneuver.
Tianjin City is an important node for the transportation of food and grass in Jiangnan. A large amount of food and grass and silver ingots must be transferred here. Except for the inside of the city, on its periphery, the places where Zhou Yuanli and Wangzaldorji are located are specially set up.
The Truqins did not take down all these places at the beginning, but deliberately left them to Zhou Yuanli and Wangzaldorji, obviously in order to strengthen their persistence.
At this moment, Truchen's strategy has been half achieved.
Next is to attack two Qing army camps outside the city, or to send surprise troops to attack other places.
After taking over Tianjin City, Ashalai also moved his command from Tanggu Port to here and held a meeting overnight.
There is only one topic for the meeting.
As winter is approaching, what are their next goals?
After defeating the Eight Banners outside the Pass so successfully and taking over Tianjin City, everyone was excited and took the initiative to dispatch surprise troops to attack Fengtai, Tongzhou, Miyun, and Xishan Ruijian Camp.
Finally, Ashalai looked at Kang Xiaozi, and Kang Xiaozi would also like it.
He said: "The Ministry of Justice believes that there are 50,000 or 60,000 people in the three camps around Beijing, and there are at least 30,000 cavalrymen. In addition, there are still 100,000 soldiers in the capital. Moreover, the three camps are far away from Tianjin City, and anything can happen."
"The reason why our army won the championship is to take advantage of the water. If we stay away from the water where warships can pass, the situation will not be so optimistic"
"Although our army annihilated the Eight Banners outside the Pass during the day, there will definitely be fish that missed the net. The three camps, and the capital will receive this news soon"
"Under this situation, the entire Gyeonggi area will definitely be in a panic, and naturally it will strengthen its defense, leaving us with less opportunities to take advantage of"
"Therefore, the Ministry of Justice still believes that the strategy agreed upon before will be adopted to attack Kanto!"
