Chapter 53 Great victory? This is a little too watery!
They safely retreated to the pre-arranged defense line. With the roar of artillery all around, the pursuing Qing army had to withdraw to a safe area. The armies of both sides were finally out of contact and returned to a confrontation.
"Have you found Fu Qu's real body?"
"No, only his horse was found, but his body was missing. Many soldiers on the battlefield were decapitated by bright dogs, making it difficult to distinguish them. Some were blown beyond recognition by thunder, and their bodies were shattered into pieces.
"
After the Ming army withdrew from the battlefield, Zhun Ta quickly asked his younger brother to arrange for people to clean up the battlefield. See if he could pick up some corpses and wounded people to go back. The most important thing was to find Fu Kachan's corpse, so that he could do business easily!
As a result, after searching for a long time, not many complete corpses were found. The battlefield was horrific. Either the corpses of human heads and horses were scattered scattered by the bombing, or the corpses whose heads were cut off by the Ming army. The injured soldiers were basically nowhere to be found.
In the end, only one or two hundred numbers were found.
Standing on the tragic battlefield, Zhun Ta understood why Fu Kachan's army was so fragile! They attacked too hard, and they did not understand the situation of the Ming army's infantry having a large number of thunderbolts. As a result, the Qing army had just begun the battle.
A large number of the brave white-armored soldiers were killed in front of the formation. Without these courageous soldiers who could not only rush into the formation but also block the enemy, the situation would naturally get out of control, and they would not even have the ability to turn the tide of the battle.
The main root cause of this defeat was the deployment error of coach Turge. He misjudged the strength of the Ming army. He knew that the Ming army defending the city had a large number of thunderbolts in their hands, but he did not expect that they would use this thing.
It was brought to the field and used extensively on the battlefield. If no one was checked, the entire Qing Dynasty mistakenly thought that the Ming army leaving the city could be defeated by fast in and fast out tactics. Only one of Zalan's men was used to attack, without any support.
There were no supporting troops, and there was nothing that could be done if the army fell in. Zhun Ta just thought about these truths in his heart, but he did not have the courage to say them to Turg in person.
The battle between the Ming Dynasty's New Army and the Qing Army lasted less than two hours, and many big shots outside the battlefield were paying attention. Zhu Youjian, who was keeping an eye on the battle with a telescope on the city gate tower, saw that the New Army and the Qing Army had separated.
After the contact, I let out a long sigh of relief. The new army has established its position. As long as it maintains its position, everything will be much easier. At present, it seems that this hastily trained troops are quite promising. After just that,
After this battle, they can be used as a serious fighting force in the future.
"Pass an order to the Beijing Camp to send cavalry out of the city to help the First Brigade cover the battlefield, and at the same time send people to deliver ammunition and supplies to the new army, and to bring all their wounded and killed soldiers to the city, and order the Prime Minister to
The hospital has formed a field ambulance team to properly treat the wounded. After they have settled down for a while, I will personally go to condolences these warriors who died fighting for the country!" When he said this, Zhu Youjian's demeanor was very different from before. It felt like it was the first time.
Speak with real confidence.
When the Ming Emperor was urgently making arrangements for post-war response, Chen Xinjia, the commander of Qinwangbing in the northeast corner of the capital, was also making emergency arrangements. After the new army left the city, the pressure on his side became much less, but this did not mean that he could relax.
!Chen Xingjia clearly felt that the Qing army’s commander not only wanted to break out of the new army from the city, but also wanted to quickly defeat the new army, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the Qin Wang Bing camp.
Fortunately, in the end, the new army stood firm and seemed to have caused a lot of casualties to the Qing army. So what are you waiting for? We need to mobilize King Qin’s army quickly and take advantage of the situation to push back the front! If such a good fighter opportunity
If you miss it, Chen Xinjia’s position as Minister of the Ministry of War will be in vain!
"Instructions are sent to the generals of all ministries to lead their troops to fight. They must push back the offensive of the Japanese soldiers, and contact the Yongwei battalion who is fighting out of the city. The two battalions will work together to defeat the Japanese invaders."
As Chen Xinjia's military order was issued, the flags of King Qin's camp were waved, and all troops and horses under the leadership of the commander-in-chief and the general launched a rare full-scale offensive posture.
When the Ming army really gained a fighting spirit, it was actually still capable of fighting, especially the retainers under the generals. Their combat power was not as weak as imagined.
At this time, the focus of the war was on the side of the Ming army. The commander of the Qing army, Turge, became very unhappy under his command. The soldiers sent by Zhun Ta reported to him the situation on the battlefield outside the city. A whole Zhalan
The elite of the Eight Banners fell into the enemy's hands, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured, and more than a thousand soldiers were defeated. This was the old foundation of the Three Banners, and they were defeated like this!
Zhun Ta also said that the Ming army outside the city should be the elite guards of the Ming emperor, with extraordinary combat power! With the troops and horses under his command, it would be difficult to survive.
Let's be honest, due to the defeat on the battlefield outside the city, even the Qin Wangbing camp, which is the main attack, is somewhat unable to suppress it. The Ming army over there is also trying its best to press out like a chicken. If this continues, the situation of the battle will be very serious.
It is possible that the entire situation may be out of control.
The soldiers and horses brought this time were too few. If there were another ten or twenty thousand people, Turg could still do something. But now there are only more than ten thousand, and if any unit is in a hard battle, there will not be enough manpower to deal with it. From this point of view,
He and Abatai thought that the attack on the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the mobilization of King Qin's troops were a bit too simple. The Ming Dynasty was really too big. No matter how weak they were in combat, the ants would bite the elephant to death.
It is a force that can emerge that the Qing Dynasty cannot do anything about for the time being.
"Send the order, the army withdraws from the camp, retreats twenty miles, stabilizes the position first, and then pursues other matters."
Turge is also a person who knows the importance of things. If he continues like this, he won't have any good way to change the situation of the war. He might even create a greater opportunity for the Ming army. It would be better to retreat some distance and then contact the camp.
Abate will discuss it later.
This retreat may be due to the intrusion of a certain Ming army and the emergence of fighter planes, or if Abatai transfers more manpower, the situation will be much better. As for the more than a thousand troops and horses that have been damaged, then
We can only hold back this tone for now and wait for the fighter planes to appear. The Qing soldiers do not just use brute force when fighting. They are very good at enduring when they should.
Just when Turge made the decision to temporarily withdraw his troops, there was cheers on the Anding Gate Tower. Liu Yuanbin sent someone to report the results of the battle.
Thousands of new Qing soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle. More than 500 thieves' heads were delivered to the city alone. At the same time, they also captured more than 400 Qing troops and more than 200 horses.
"What a great victory for your majesty! As soon as our army left the city, we gave the Qing army a thunderous blow. This greatly strengthened our army's power. Taking advantage of this victory, the army will soon be able to send the prisoners out of the capital. Please reward me for this."
The generals of the Yongwei camp who came out of the city to fight against the bandits." Zhou Yanru took the battle report and started talking nonsense, and it felt like the old man's beard was about to fly when he spoke.
A great victory? Just killing and capturing about a thousand Qing soldiers, can this be considered a great victory? The current Ming Dynasty’s expectations for a great victory are too low!
This great victory was really a bit of a waste. According to the battle report sent by Liu Yuanbin, the casualties of the new army in this battle were also quite large. A rough estimate of the number of casualties was more than two hundred, and five or six hundred wounded soldiers were also sent to the city, that is,
Although this battle looked very lively, the actual results were only comparable to the reported battle losses of the Qing army that could be verified!
