Chapter 253
"Master Liu, the Qing army we encountered this time seems to be different from before.
When faced with danger, he still advances and retreats in a controlled manner.
It’s not like the flag soldiers before who rushed towards the gun without fear of death, but they all died in the end.”
The other side of the river bank.
Gou Sheng looked a little proud, looking at the Qing army on the other side without any nervousness at all.
After the Han people were rescued, they had no worries and felt a little more comfortable.
Judging from the current situation.
Liu Qingfeng brought more than 8,000 troops with his vanguard. He did not bring any heavy artillery, but there was plenty of gunpowder.
Based on the experience in Jianzhou during this period, the main problem in using troops to deal with the Qing army was insufficient ammunition, and some craftsmen who repaired firearms were needed for the expedition.
If you don't attack the city, you can conquer all directions if you have these conditions.
Liu Qingfeng put down the telescope and said with some excitement:
"We are in luck this time.
In front is the Shangsan Banner of Huangtai Ji. It is not surprising that the troops performed like this in the marching battle.
As long as we wait until the vehicles from the rear arrive, it won't be a problem to capture these Qing troops!"
Gou Sheng reminded him: "The Qing army also has artillery, and it must be in the rear.
The opponent is Huang Taiji's troops. They previously attacked Shanhaiguan and needed firearms."
Liu Qingfeng turned his head and said: "I understand this, but our artillery has been upgraded a lot, and the artillerymen are also more skilled.
All previous artillery pieces are obsolete.
The Eastern Theater Command has been improving rapidly this year, but it's been a long time since we encountered such a good-looking Jiannu.
The soldiers were so idle fighting on the grassland that the grassland tribes were not active.
It's better to go up to the three flags and kill them... be happy!"
Liu Qingfeng grinned.
Gou Sheng also nodded.
As far as the current Northern Xia soldiers and horses are concerned, they prefer to have stronger opponents, because in this way they can feel a sense of accomplishment when killing them.
After all, shooting a miscellaneous soldier feels completely different from shooting a well-dressed elite soldier.
Destroying the enemy's most beautiful things is often a joyful thing.
As for miscellaneous soldiers and elite soldiers, there is no difference at all in the face of bullets and artillery fire.
It's all just the same cost.
In front of rifled guns, armor is a complete liability.
"That's true!"
Gou Sheng agreed, but turned around and asked with a smile: "Then Mr. Liu, do you want to hear again about my deeds of burning Xingjing?"
The guns in front were rumbling, and the two of them were still chatting leisurely.
Gou Sheng just felt that his report just now was not enough.
They even asked the art troupe to draw pictures of the situation along the way.
After returning to China, I can display it with pictures and texts so that newspapers and periodicals can publicize it.
Liu Qingfeng just looked at Gou Sheng jealously, watching him bring tens of thousands of Han people, prisoners and livestock in the dark.
The harvest of this operation of the plundering troops was absolutely huge, and it almost wiped out the entire northern Liaoning?
And to do this, they only brought less than a thousand mountain forest soldiers with them when they set off...
After all, there were very few manpower behind Jiannu, and the rescued Han Chinese would not resist at all, and would even rise up, which made the entire robbery operation very smooth.
The dignified commander of the Eastern Theater Command couldn't help but have a sour look on his face.
Simply stop looking at Gou Sheng's proud face, just waved his hand and said: "No, I don't want to hear it, please leave quickly.
It's dangerous here.
A mere river cannot stop so many people.
The Qing army can more or less come over.
The Han people had better retreat as soon as possible..."
Liu Qingfeng drove Gou Sheng aside.
But having said that, the Tianwu Army still needs the artillery of the Shanlin Army.
Moreover, all the Han people had been walking for several days and nights, and now when they stopped, their legs and feet were completely unable to walk.
They had no choice but to set up camp in the rear, rest temporarily and make fires for cooking.
As a result, the entire team looked bloated. The opposing Qing army seemed to be aware of this, and relied on its good mobility to constantly look for breakthroughs.
There was no shortage of elite soldiers and generals in Huangtaiji's tent, and the attack was coordinated in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, Liu Qingfeng's four regiments were tightly guarding on all sides, and the Qing army on the other side of the bridge was unable to move forward.
The two parties temporarily formed a confrontation situation.
"Commander, the Qing army in front has launched another attack!"
Just when everyone thought they were going to stalemate all night and were preparing to set up camp, soldiers came in to report.
Everyone looked out of the half-open temporary command room and saw groups of bright armored soldiers pushing shield carts toward the bridge.
"The Third Army is on the top of the bridge bank, its firepower is temporarily stationary, and the snipers are in ambush!
The musketeers of the second regiment take orders from the rear and choose the opportunity to attack!"
At this time, Liu Qingfeng saw the flaw in the Qing army's active attack.
The sword and shield soldiers are also followed by fine cavalry. This formation is very strong, but it is most difficult to escape the counterattack of the musketeers.
The person who came on the other side was Buyan Tai Ezhen.
This influential figure in the Three Banners was also an important arm of Huang Taiji.
Now the effect of the commander-in-chief taking the lead was effective. The artillery exploded around the sword and shield soldiers, and the Qing army still held firm.
The cavalry followed behind in darkness, no longer as messy as the blind attack before.
On both sides of the bridge, there were cavalry feigning attacks to attract firepower.
The sky was filled with arrows.
Some people directly plunged into the cold river water and hid under the bridge to wade across. Judging from this situation, the Qing army was indeed fearless.
Huang Taiji has issued an order. Whoever crosses the shore and cuts off the head of the first Han will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred!
...
"Death for my Qing Dynasty!"
Buyantai Erzhen was standing behind a shield car at this time, letting the artillery fire fly over his head, his resolute eyes staring straight ahead.
The bodyguards beside him protected the master in the middle, and rushed forward on their feet.
These people don't even need to supervise the team at all. They step on their own corpses without fear.
It seems that the goal of this life is ahead.
With this rhythm, someone will definitely be able to break through the bridge alive. Then when most of the cavalry rushes in, it will be the decisive moment.
"Death for my Qing Dynasty!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The whole process seemed very tragic, and the fearlessness of the Qing army also brought them to the river bank.
Behind the shield car.
Buyan Taizhen drew an arrow from his forehead, fully drew his strong bow and aimed at the shore. The arrow flew through the air and was buried under the steel helmet of a Tianwu soldier.
"I'll kill the first person!"
Buyantai raised his arms and shouted loudly.
All the Qing troops seemed to be inspired, pushing the shield carts off the bridge, their blood rushing, and they charged within the last twenty steps.
The Qing soldiers followed the commander forward.
At this time, the sniper in the distance aimed at the distance.
boom!
A special and loud sound.
Buyantai Ezhen, who was protected in the crowd, suddenly felt a violent roar above his head. The bag on his head split into pieces, and he unconsciously fell backwards.
"twenty two!"
The Tianwu Army sniper reported a number in a low voice...
At the same time, the light artillery in front was replaced by fog, large swathes of Qing troops fell, and the musketeers also launched a harvest charge.
In this asymmetrical confrontation, all bravery is in vain.
When Buyantai woke up, he found that his head was still there, and the huge force just now had only knocked off one side of his head.
But when I turned around, I saw corpses and body parts all around me.
"Death for my Qing Dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
