Seeing that Xiu was twisting three incense sticks in his hands, he respectfully inserted it in front of the spiritual position, and then bowed to salute. After finishing, Gu Zhenhua retreated from the room.
Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but sigh: "Duke Ji, we only know that the Qing army divided the troops. It must be the credit of An Guojun. But I didn't expect that it was Miss Lu who assassinated Duoduo, which was really unexpected!"
"Hey, women should take care of their husbands and children. It is really a shame for us to rely on them to fight against the enemy." Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but lower his head and said.
Although Duoduo was very happy when he died, he felt a sense of pain after this joy. Such a strong and intelligent woman shouldn’t have let her carry too much. After all, the military strength is not strong, so she has to use these villain methods!
Tian Jianxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Ji made a point, but the enemy in front of him is strong and I am weak. You can't wait for death!"
"Well, Mr. Tian said very much that the dead are gone, and the living should think about the future." Gu Zhenhua said: "The Tartars will definitely retaliate in the next step, and the attack will only be more fierce. We should think carefully about how to deal with the next offensive."
When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "Duke Ji, when I came here this time, I saw the sincerity of An Guojun and the ability of the Duke. The battle on the front line of Henan will depend on you. I will express my opinion on the Dashun army representing Wei Hui and other places. We all follow our orders and will never be vague!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Tian, ​​as the saying goes, brothers work together, and their strength is to cut off gold. My master also hopes to truly join hands with the Dashun Army to fight the enemy. If you don't do this, you will not be able to defeat the enemy."
The two had a great conversation, and Gu Zhenhua immediately invited Tian Jianxiu to attend the military meeting and discussed solutions to deal with it.
A huge sand table was placed in front of everyone. The mountains, rivers and waters of northern Henan were all in sight. During this period, An Guojun had been working hard to operate the defense line and constantly strengthening the fortifications. Now the entire defense system is quite complete.
Li Jibo introduced: "At present, Anguo Army has a total of 16,000 infantrymen on the front line, 2,000 cavalrymen, totaling 18,000. In addition, the second-line garrison troops are 3,000 and the civilians are about 37,000. This is all the power that can be used. Compared with the Tartars, our troops are absolutely weak, so how to defend Henan is a problem that everyone must face."
Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi were both watching, and Tian Jianxiu suddenly said, "Dude, since we both have joined forces to cooperate, we should not count the Dashun Army. We can still kill the Tartars and make military achievements!"
Yuan Zongdi even patted his chest and said, "An Guojun is a hero. We are not cowards. The Duke of the State. If you have any tasks, just send them."
Li Jibo rolled his eyelids and couldn't help but say, "Two marquises, this time fighting with the Qing Dynasty, they will die and die. They will advance and retreat, so they cannot escape easily."
This statement clearly exposes the bandits' shortcomings, and Tian Jianxiu's face also turned gloomy: "A real man's words are as good as he can, if An Guojun still doesn't believe us, Tian is willing to issue a military order."
"Of course I can trust Mr. Tian, ​​but I don't know how many troops you have?"
"This, we have more than 20,000 elite soldiers stationed in Huaiqing, and the other civilians have 50,000 or 60,000. I dare not say that the soldiers are strong, but there are many people and powerful people. It is worth fighting."
Gu Zhenhua, who is familiar with bandits' fighting, is not very tempted by this number. Bandits have always counted all men, women, young and old together. It seems that tens of thousands of people, half of which are young and strong. It is said to be 20,000 elite soldiers. I am afraid that according to the standards of An Guojun, it is good to have three or five thousand.
However, Gu Zhenhua doesn’t want to attack the enthusiasm of the Dashun Army. Besides, these people cannot be used as main force, so can’t they be cannon fodder!
Gu Zhenhua thought of this and said with a smile: "Since the Dashun Army is eager to resist the Qing Dynasty, I think it should be considered. Mr. Tian, ​​I suggest that your army, in addition to strengthening Huaiqing's defense, send another team of troops to go out to Yazikou and Bailu Mountain to prevent the Qing army from entering Huaiqing westward. At the same time, relying on mountain combat, attack the Tatars' retreat and disrupt their two paths."
There is no garbage in this world, there are only resources that have been placed in the wrong place!
When it comes to war, Gu Zhenhua may look down on the Dashun Army, but pulling the team and causing trouble. This is their strength. Yazikou and Bailu Mountain are backed by Taihang Mountain, with overlapping mountains and a large detour space. If the Dashun Army can stand here, it can enter Shanxi to go west, disrupt the progress of the Qing army's attack on northern Shaanxi, and go south to enter Zhangde Daming and block the Qing army's retreat. No matter how you look at it, this is the best place to use troops.
Tian Jianxiu looked at it and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Duke, this is the place where Dashun's army uses its weapons. We promise to hold back the Qing army."
"Mr. Tian, ​​there is nothing else. Fighting in the mountains, saving yourself is more important than destroying the enemy. As for how to do it, Mar. Tian has more experience than me, I won't say much."
After Tian Jianxiu was arranged, Gu Zhenhua said again: "This time the Qing army attacked again, and it is very likely that it will carry a large number of artillery. Don't underestimate the Tartars. As a robber group, their firearms are also quite excellent. In the past, we fought under firepower advantages, and this time it is very likely that we would face the dual weakness of firepower and military strength."
"Dude, don't worry, no matter what, we can beat the Tartars to their butts and urinate!"
Li Xu patted his chest and said. Other Anguo Army generals also nodded frequently.
How can we build a powerful army, suffering and victory!
In suffering, Anguo Army is not short of it!
Victory has always been with us.
Unlike other armies, the Anguo army has an uplifting momentum. They will not believe in the invincible words of the Jurchen soldiers, nor will they blindly despise the Qing army. They have strong confidence and can control the rhythm of battle!
This is the soul of a strong army. Because of this, An Guojun dares to counterattack in an unfavorable state, dares to face difficulties, and bravely rush forward!
"Okay, with confidence, we won half of the victory, and the next half will depend on everyone's efforts. According to my estimate, the Tartars are likely to directly attack Ji County, and our peripheral defense must be in place."
Speaking of this, Gu Zhenhua looked at Fang Jianming and couldn't help asking: "How is the construction of the chest wall?"
"Don't worry, Duke Guo. Within five miles of Ji County, we have built a large number of chest walls. We have set up various traps between each chest wall, which are very powerful."
Although Fang Jianming did not say it clearly, Gu Zhenhua knew that he was very steadily doing things. Since he dared to say this, it means that there was absolutely no problem with the fortification system.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua actually had a little hope for the next battle.
Come on! Take a look at who is the most powerful army!
It was not allowed to wait too long. It was just December. On the third day, Haoge led the main force of the Qing army to feel Qi County, and Wu Sangui led his subordinates to welcome Haoge.
As soon as they met, Haoge's face turned gloomy, as if it was ashes at the bottom of the pot.
"Ping Xi King, the Supreme General's military power is given to you, so that you can share your worries with the Supreme Lord and destroy the Anguo Army as soon as possible. But you have to win, and you have repeatedly lost your troops and generals, which has affected your military prestige. It is really a shame to the Qing Dynasty's reputation of winning every battle!"
"I am incompetent. Please punish me!"
Wu Sangui was very bachelor and accepted it directly, which made Haoge punch the cotton, leaving no room for power.
"Get up, Your Majesty has not punished you, and the Regent has not asked you for any crime. I am not qualified to do this. I just hope that King Pingxi can show his true skills and not let me down again!"
After Haoge taught Wu Sangui a lesson, he came to the central commander Zhang, who sat in Wu Sangui's position, and everyone else stood aside.
Haoge glanced at the audience and couldn't help but say, "You guys think how should you fight this battle?"
At this time, Mandahai, who was standing at the end, suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed to Haoge.
"The criminal minister is willing to lead a team of troops. He acts as a pioneer in the road, attacks Ji County directly, captures Gu Zhenhua alive, and washes away the shame on his body!"
When Haoge saw Mandahai being so active, he smiled and said, "Okay, this is the spirit of the Qing warriors. Tomorrow morning, you will lead a team to attack the periphery of Ji County. Shi Tingzhu led the artillery to provide cover for Mandahai and strive to achieve the effect of the battle.
"Don't worry, Prince, I will do my best."
After the Qing army made arrangements, they hurriedly prepared for the war. The next day, before dawn, Mandahai put on three layers of armor and packed them up. He knew very well that Duoduo was dead and he did not go to bury him. It was a great gift. When he arrived in front of the two armies, he had no choice but to fight for this life and still had a way out.
Even if he dies, his family will not be implicated, otherwise he would be afraid that Dorgon would take the opportunity to attack and destroy his three tribes.
It can be said that Mandahai fought with a determined heart. Haoge gave him two thousand armored soldiers, three thousand Han army flags, and some traitors who acted as cannon fodder. They all added up, and these people also had more than 10,000 yuan.
Mandahai was still full of confidence. In the dim morning light, the banner of the Tartar soldiers appeared on the horizon, facing the rising sun, which was particularly dazzling.
The sound of cow horns, the rumbling of war drums, the shouts of people and horses, all gathered together, and the powerful enemy pressed towards the Anguo Army.
The last time Wu Sangui attacked Qimen Town, he wanted to pass there and open the northern gate of Ji County. This time, Mandahai stopped working outside the outside of Ji County, so he started directly from the outside of Ji County.
As the cold winter came, the Wei River had frozen. According to Mandahai's estimates, the army could rush to the city of Ji County without any effort, and the next step was to fight.
But obviously he made the wrong plan. On the land north of the Wei River, there were three walls less than one person high, blocking the Tatars and Anguo Army.
When Wu Sangui launched the attack, these walls were not there yet, and they were obviously the latest things. After seeing it, Mandahai curled his lips.
"It's a dream to try to block the warriors of the Qing Dynasty by leaning against a few walls!"
"Run for me!"
Before the artillery was ready, Mandahai launched an attack directly, but this guy still had such a slight sense of responsibility. He first sent some "Aha", that is, slaves.
Among the Eight Banners, soldiers were divided into three levels, namely the Banner, the Armored Man, and Aha. The so-called Aha is the Han and Korean slaves captured. Most of the Banners were surrendered to serve as soldiers. As for the Banners, they must be Jurchens, and their father died and their son succeeded.
The first batch sent by Mandahai were 200 Aha, and they were tempted to attack Anguo Army.
These people rushed towards the chest wall quickly. Some of them were pushing carts, some were holding shields, and some were holding bows, arrows and muskets, bent down one by one, and their steps were flying.
Although they had a low status, they had many years of fighting with the Tartars, and had great skills and rich experience. They quickly rushed to within a hundred steps.
At this moment, a row of soldiers suddenly surged from behind the first chest wall, each of whom was squatting with black muzzles and aimed at these Ahas.
"put!"
With Tang Zhanxiong's order, a row of gunpowder sounded, and countless bullets hit Aha and others. These people were not qualified to wear armor, and they were all flesh and blood, so how could they resist the power of lead bullets?
A Ha was shot in the chest, and a lead bullet smashed a hole the size of a fist, blood flowed, and his internal organs were blown away. The guy fell heavily for more than ten steps and was out of breath.
The people around him were a little stunned, their heads were knocked away, leaving only half of their body, and blood kept coming out of their chests.
In one round of gunfire, more than twenty Ahas were shot dead. Then the soldiers behind continued to shoot, and the three-stage attacks killed a large number of Ahas.
This attack team is reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, after all, it is a long-standing enemy. These Ahas are very brave, and finally some of them rushed into the range of fifty or sixty steps.
They drew their bows and arrows one by one, raised their muskets, and shot at An Guojun.
Ping-pong, the bow and arrow hit the chest wall, but could not be shot in at all. The musket hit it, but it only smashed a piece of ashes. The chest wall built of cement is particularly strong and has no problem facing the attack.
Tang Zhanxiong was overjoyed and while the Qing army was still stunned, An Guojun had already completed the loading.
"Go to die!"
The smoke of gunpowder sounded again, and the lead bullets hit him wildly. One by one, Ah Ha was beaten to break his bones and tendons, his intestines were broken, and he fell to the ground.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battlefield returned to tranquility. A gust of wind blew away the smoke. I saw that the ground was full of Aha's bodies, while An Guojun was unscathed.
After seeing this scene from a thousand miles away, Mandahai suddenly felt cold. These chest walls were not decorations, but real threats!
Mandahai waved his hand and called out two hundred vests again, "You go and attack again."
These cavalry immediately rushed towards the Anguo Army like a bolt of lightning. They were skilled in horse racing and each had amazing speed. During the journey of hundreds of meters, the Anguo Army only shot three rounds of shooting, killing more than fifty people. There were less than a hundred people rushing to the front of the chest wall. They lifted their horses and jumped over the chest wall.
Chapter completed!
