Chapter 334: Defense of the Capital 4
There were also 200 white-armored soldiers of the Tartars! It was not that the Tartars had poor combat power, but that they lost their momentum to the Ming army led by Li Dingguo. The second was that the hidden heavy cavalry played the role of a surprise soldier! Of course, compared to the number of casualties, what was more important was that Li Dingguo's slaughtered charge greatly disrupted the marching sequence of the Tartars, and the combat materials carried by the Tartars were even more messy. [】After a full hour of rectification, the Tartars regained the order and began to march rapidly. This won a precious hour for the town that was rapidly reinforcement. You must know that sometimes a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight s
In other words, Huang Taiji knew that if he killed one thousand enemies and suffered 800, the Ming army behind him had already consumed almost the same amount. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would have to send people to deal with this annoying army!
……………………………
In Taiyuan, Shanxi, Zhang Linqi had already told the soldiers a brief pre-war mobilization. There was nothing else. The only hope for this battle was to be placed on them. If the town could arrive in front of the Tartar soldiers, there would be hope for everything. If it was late, the overall situation would be gone.
In fact, Zhang Linqi was not a completely unsure battle. Although the Tartar soldiers may have arrived earlier than them, Zhang Linqi still had a backup plan. Aren’t there any Dongfeng trucks in the Firearms Bureau? Although these big trucks are out of fuel and cannot drive, they are still powerful! These big trucks have a great deterrence to the Tartar soldiers. If the Tartar soldiers arrive at the capital first, Zhang Linqi will order people to take these big trucks outside the capital gate, line up to set up an empty city plan.
I believe that as long as the Tartar soldiers who have experienced the Battle of Jinan will be absolutely scared, and as long as they can delay for a while and gain valuable time, they will be victory!
In fact, there are differences within the town as to whether to explain the real situation to the soldiers. For example, Li Sicheng tends to not explain it clearly to the soldiers in a realistic manner, otherwise he will feel desperate. After all, the gap between the road is there, and the Tatar soldiers are horse soldiers, but the town relies on Eighth Route Cars to march, so the gap is clear at a glance.
But in the end, Zhang Linqi refused to argue with the public and decided to make it clear to the soldiers. He believed that he should believe in the town and the quality of the town. Since he was named the No. 1 Army in the world, he must have corresponding strength.
Thinking back to the past, the Red Army in later generations marched 300 miles a day and night, and flew to capture Luding Bridge. It created a miracle in the history of human marching. The conditions at that time were indeed very difficult. Some Red Army soldiers fell asleep on the marching journey because they were too tired. They were sleepy while marching, which violated human physiological laws. You can imagine how difficult it was! But now, the situation is not that bad. Zhang Linqi believes that with this heroic army, he will definitely write the myth of the new era!
Although the distance between the Tartar soldiers and the capital is 300 miles away, the current location of the town is 600 miles away, which is exactly twice that of the Tartar soldiers. Moreover, most of the Tartar soldiers are horse soldiers, and the town is Eighth Route Cars, Zhang Linqi believes that since the town can survive so many ups and downs, it will definitely not disappoint him this time.
Zhang Linqi once remembered that in a later generation, when armed back to the Ming Dynasty, some readers had argued about the speed of marching in ancient times. The final conclusion was that the limit of infantry forcing marching was fifty miles a day. Light infantry marching in an hour and ten miles a day can force 10 hours continuously. And cavalry 150 miles a day is an unrepeatable limit! He also brought out historical basis, and heard that he pursued Yuzhou, and the light cavalry traveled more than 300 miles a day and night... This sentence is recorded.
Therefore, with such historical knowledge, it takes at least 12 days to get to the capital, while Huang Taiji was originally close to only 300 miles, with most of the horse army. Under normal circumstances, it can arrive in four days, and the difference between the two sides is three times. Therefore, the task of the town is arduous!
"Do you brothers have faith?" Zhang Linqi shouted.
"You" the soldiers of the town answered him in a louder voice.
"How great is your confidence?" Zhang Linqi continued to shout.
"Use me in the first battle, and I will win." The tsunami-like voice of the 20,000 towns continued to sound.
"Very good" Zhang Linqi nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the vibrant faces of Zhang Ying's faces below the stage with a lightning look. Many of them knew, the young man with a round face and a smile had two dimples, was from Shandong, named Wang Wusheng. The waist was straight and called... There were more people who didn't know, but Zhang Linqi knew,
How dangerous this battle will be. After this battle, I don’t know how many young faces will be buried underground. However, Zhang Linqi, with their passionate eyes, knew that their hearts were as regretful as him.
"Start" Zhang Linqi fired his gun into the sky three times, and waved his hand hard at Erwan Town.
"Yes" As Liu Dabangchui quickly conveyed the order, the voice of horse was drowned out by the thunderous response of the 20,000 towns. With the sound of neat running, the 20,000 towns immediately took action and marched forward in a marching posture. It is expected to march twenty miles per hour, and arrive at the capital in three days! And in order to maximize the speed, Zhang Linqi ordered that the soldiers of each town would stay in the local area except for only three days of dry food.
As for the precious medicine, Zhang Linqi thought about it and then decided that each town soldier only brought 100 shovels, enough to fight World War II. The original standard equipment in the town was 300 shovels, which was reduced by two-thirds!
But even this way, the weight of a hundred hairs is not light, enough 2 kilograms. The amount of dry food is one kilogram. This is three kilograms, which is equivalent to holding a baby all the time. Such a burden is imagined.
However, with Zhang Linqi's order, the town moved forward quickly like a dragon. So much so that if you go from the map, you will see a black torrent moving towards the capital at an extremely fast speed. You will overcome all obstacles and move forward, like a sharp sword unsheathed!
However, just like Huang Taiji encountered obstacles, the town also encountered obstacles. Because Li Zicheng, who was originally prepared to attack by the town, has now transformed into a character like Li Dingguo, biting behind the town and delaying the town's pace!
"Report, General, Li Zicheng's troops have started to harass again." With the voice of the messenger, Zhang Linqi frowned, and he began to feel more and more clearly that Li Zicheng's troops must have joined forces with the Tartars this time. Oh, and the spy lurking inside the town, Zhang Linqi has now vaguely got a goal, but deep down in his heart, he really couldn't believe that the battle that once fought side by side will now become an opponent with a knife behind his back!
"I will order you to leave a thousand people to block the attack and separate from the large army. Be sure to drag Li Zicheng's troops down, and the rest of the towns will continue to move forward at full speed." Zhang Linqi ordered loudly.
Unlike Huang Taiji's order, Zhang Linqi left a thousand towns to block Li Zicheng's tribe. Although Li Zicheng's tribe has been wiped out by the town many times, the centipede insects died without being stiff, and there are still 30,000 people.
The task of the guard troops of this thousand people is very heavy! But Zhang Linqi gave a death order. Generally speaking, Zhang Linqi would not give such orders, but now in a special period, he can only treat them specially. Zhang Linqi knew that after this order, the guard troops of this thousand people would be reimbursed, which means a thousand living lives!
……………………………………………………………
Two miles away from the town, there was also a crowd of people. An army was following behind the town, and the number of people was black, at least 50,000. However, it seemed that they were a bit raising their heads. Most of these people were holding various weapons, such as big swords, red tassel guns, and more of them, such as manure forks, hoes, etc.
They were wearing various clothes, and they looked like a hodgepodge. Only a red turban tied to their foreheads was a little decent. In one of their temporary camps, Li Zicheng was mobilizing, and beside him were the remaining five or six generals in Luoyang defeat: "Brothers, it's time for us to take revenge. The only thing the dog emperor relies on now is to defend the capital. Now, the army of Manchus is heading towards the capital. What we have to do now is to hold the hindrance of the town as much as possible and let Manchus successfully capture the capital. By then, if the court has lost the dog emperor, the state will be in chaos. In order to avenge the dog emperor, the town will definitely not care about us and will fight the Manchus to the death. When we arrive, we can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. It is best to wait until both of them are injured before we take action..."
"What the King of Chuang said is"
"Yeah, that's great"
Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and others nodded repeatedly, intoxicated by the beautiful prospects portrayed by Li Zicheng. The atmosphere in the tent was very high.
"Okay, next I will order that Brother Zongmin takes the lead and will give the town a fierce battle, which will make them cry and call their parents," Li Zicheng said viciously.
"Just obey the order" Liu Zongmin, who also had a ferocious face, shouted loudly. He also remembered the revenge of one arrow!
Soon, as the meeting ended, Liu Zongmin was neatly dressed and went to mobilize people. At this time, Li Zicheng's troops were still very well-manned.
Soon, Liu Zongmin led his eight thousand men, five hundred horses, and the remaining seven thousand five hundred infantrymen to attack the town's back.
"Crash, kill and avenge the dead brothers in Luoyang battle!" Although Liu Zongmin shouted while leading the charge, the mob was the mob, let alone the mob that had just been formed.
Although Liu Zongmin had an absolute advantage in the number of people in the local battlefield at this moment, 8 to 1, even under the threat of the supervision team, there were not many people who dared to rush in. After all, the reputation of the town was placed there. Once the bird gun was released, wasn’t it just a matter of giving up his life? In fact, they didn’t know that the town now carries many medicines, so they had to use it.
Especially in a rabble like them, they won’t waste too many children. Although this sounds like a joke, it leaves them with a greater chance of survival because they can’t afford them. But this is the truth! And even if they rushed over, the town’s 1,000 soldiers set out a line-shaped defense. There are only a few places that really fight together.
With more than 2,000 subordinates fighting in a mess, there was no tactics at all. The guy who knew how to use his hands greeted the other party, but often before he could get close, he was already stabbed by several bayonets that came at the same time!
Because the town was not willing to use it too much, after another round, it killed hundreds of bandits and started to fight hand-to-hand. However, according to the combat power of these bandits, it is really not a good idea. Even if they fight one by one, the town can beat three or even five.
