Xinye is only fifty miles away from Dengzhou. If you walk for half a day, you can reach it. However, Zuo Meng walked carefully after leaving Xinye. Therefore, it took only a morning less than thirty miles to reach the place called Sangzhuang.
So Zuo Menggeng ordered the entire army to rest and have dinner here and then continue to rush.
Although the army of Zuo Menggeng's army was not moving fast, the Qing army set out from Xinye County just as it was bright in the morning. It was a morning when the time came, even if it was not tired, it was already hungry. It was May now. Although the mid-month season is still in the Little Ice River, it is still hot. Therefore, the Qing soldiers were sweating profusely and hungry and eager to stop and rest. After hearing Zuo Menggeng's order, they all stopped one after another. The fire-headed soldiers found a place to dig up the soil and piled up the stove to prepare a large pot to prepare for cooking
Other Qing soldiers found places where the trees were shaded, sitting or lying. There were many people taking off their helmets, armor, and their upper bodies were so cool. Because the Qing army of Zuo Menggeng's army was originally a miscellaneous army, of course they could not be in harmony with the training level and military discipline of course they could not be in harmony with each other. The regular Qing army can maintain a certain order compared to the marching process, but after resting, it will be a mess.
After a while, the steaming steam popped out of every big pot and the whole air was filled with the aroma of food. Although the food was made of coarse grains, it was still full of attraction in the eyes of hungry people, so they hid in the shade of trees. The Qing soldiers who were resting also walked to the big pot to collect their own food, and surrounded each pot with a loud circle of people.
Of course, Zuo Menggeng would not go to compete with ordinary soldiers for his food. Someone made it for him alone. At this time, Zuo Menggeng also had two more lanes. Although a pot of wine was not a delicacy, it was more common than ordinary people. Soldiers eat much better
When Zuo Menggeng picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, he heard a sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground. From the southwest, Zuo Menggeng looked at it and saw a team of cavalry coming from the southwest. They were all semi-circular helmets and iron locks. The vest is lined with green uniforms. It is less than two hundred steps away from the Qing army's garrison. Although Zuo Menggeng has never fought with the Chinese army, he is not unfamiliar with this outfit. He is also shocked. The Chinese army ambushed him here. ?At the same time, many Qing soldiers also found that the Chinese cavalry rushed towards them and couldn't help but get in trouble.
Xinye County is the closest Qing army to Dengzhou, of course, it is also the target of the Chinese army's key defense. Therefore, as soon as Zuo Menggeng's army left Xinye County, he was discovered by the spies of the Chinese army and immediately reported to Li Dingguo. Sangzhuang was from Xinye to Xinye. The only way to Dengzhou, so Li Dingguo immediately made a decision to ambush the Qing army of Zuo Menggeng's troops in Sangzhuang.
But Xinye was too close to Dengzhou, and the Qing army had already moved on, so Li Dingguo was afraid that all troops would not be able to reach the ambush position before the Qing army arrived, so he also sent a cavalry regiment to take the lead in rushing to the vicinity of Sangzhuang. When it came quickly, it changed from ambush to attack the war. The cavalry regiment first launched an attack on the Qing army of Zuo Menggeng's army and then rushed to participate in the war.
The cavalry regiment arrived at Sangzhuang at about 10 a.m. At this time, the Qing army did not arrive. After almost an hour, the other troops also arrived near Sangzhuang and were ambushed. The Qing army had to count for nearly an hour. Arrived at Sangzhuang and rested here for dinner, and Li Dingguo also decided to wait until the Qing army had prepared the meal before launching an attack because this was the time when the Qing army was most relaxed.
In fact, at this time, the Chinese army surrounded the Qing army in full and did not use cavalry attacks at all, but the cavalry regiment had been dispatched and they could not let them go for nothing. Therefore, Li Dingguo also decided to let the cavalry regiment launch the first round of attacks. Other troops followed.
Judging from the current situation, the Chinese army has basically won this battle.
But the speed of the cavalry is no longer than that of the infantry. The distance between two hundred steps and the sprint of the war horses is only ten seconds. What's more, when the Qing army is still thirty or forty steps, the attack will open every Chinese army.
The cavalry are equipped with three muskets: two front-mounted short guns and one rear-mounted long-tube rifle ammunition is loaded before the war, but the range is shorter than that of the infantry muskets, which is between fifty and sixty meters shorter than that of the infantry muskets.
When using two front-mounted short guns, the rear-mounted long-tube rifles are usually used first.
Therefore, the Chinese cavalry who rushed to the range opened fire and fired, and at this time, most of the soldiers were gathering around the big pot and receiving the food from the original. Their hit rate was extremely high. The soldiers were beaten to the ground.
There are also many soldiers who are busy making food and are killed after a while.
Other Qing soldiers fled in scattered and rushed each other. Many big pots of cooking were knocked over and several soldiers were somehow pushed down and screamed in a hot pot. The whole scene was very chaotic.
After the shooting, the Chinese soldiers drew their sabers to chase and kill the scattered soldiers and flew around the heads of Qing soldiers. The arms and other limbs were also flying in scattered with the waving sabers. At this time, the Qing soldiers were just eating.
There is no preparation for combat, let alone armor and weapons, many people are still shirtless, so how can they resist the attack of the Chinese army? Only a few soldiers threw the porcelain bowls of food at the cavalry, which was one of the few Qing troops' resistance.
For a moment, gunfire, screams, and roars kept coming. Some Qing soldiers were killed by muskets, some were hacked to death, some were trampled by war horses, and some were killed by Ziyi's thrust into the scramble.
Zuo Menggeng is located in the middle of the entire army stationed, not the position where the Chinese army launched an attack, so he was able to put down his job, put on a horse and pick up weapons, and gathered hundreds of guard soldiers around him, but of course he was
It's impossible to escape now, it's pretty good
Zuo Menggeng defended that the Chinese cavalry was killed from the southwest, so Zuo Menggeng pointed to the north and said, "Go to this side."
The people accompanying him also followed him to the north, but there was no 100 steps ahead. He saw a loud sound of killing in front of him. A group of Chinese soldiers rushed towards the Qing army, holding bayonets and shooting at the soldiers in the front row.
The Qing soldiers defeated a group of people
"Is there a Chinese army on this side?" Zuo Menggeng had no time to think about it and quickly turned his head and ran away to the east without thinking.
But after walking not far, the Qing soldiers in front turned around and ran backwards. It turned out that a Chinese army was killing him head-on. At this time, Zuo Menggeng discovered that there were all Chinese infantry soldiers in all directions who had already been killed.
The Chinese army is completely surrounded
Just after the cavalry regiment launched an attack on the Qing army, the infantry of the two divisions, totaling six regiments, also rushed out. At this time, the Qing army had been disturbed by the cavalry. There was still the will to fight against the Chinese army, so they rushed forward.
After that, those who ran slowly lost their lives and were clever, and those who were quick-witted quickly turned around and ran away.
However, at this time, the Qing army was completely surrounded by the Chinese army and could not escape. The Chinese army from all walks of life were constantly squeezed out the space of the Qing army. The space of the Qing army was slowly narrowed. At the beginning, there were still a few people. Qing soldiers could risk escape between the gaps between the two Chinese troops, but as the encirclement of the Chinese troops gradually narrowed, the gap became smaller and smaller. The Qing soldiers could no longer escape from the siege of the Chinese troops, so they were unable to resist and had no way to escape. The Qing soldiers had no choice but to surrender
The entire battle ended in just about an hour and more than 15,000 Qing army escaped, and only three or four hundred people were killed by the Chinese army, and all the rest surrendered to become Chinese army. The number of prisoners was as high as 11,000. The general Zuo Menggeng was also surrendered because after the general situation he had gone, he did not choose to resist stubbornly and led the crowd to surrender, so he became the first Qian Qianyi after all. The first Qing general to surrender on the battlefield to the front line
The Chinese army was killed only 37 people and injured, and it was said that it was a beautiful annihilation battle.
Then occupy Shinye*
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Just when Li Dingguo led his army to ambush the reinforcements of Zuo Menggeng's troops, Li Mou also commanded the Eighth Army to launch a final attack on Dengzhou.
At this time, the 10th Division, which was responsible for the main attack on both sides of Dengzhou City, had already filled enough roads on the moat, so it immediately exploded the walls of Dengzhou.
The blasting team of the Chinese army on both sides of the east and west under the cover of artillery and rifles, pushed the blasting vehicle over the city wall and leaned against the city wall and lit the lead. After several consecutive huge explosions, the east and west walls of Dengzhou City were both on both sides of the east and west. Several gaps were successfully exploded, and the commandos of the 15th Division immediately dispatched to kill the gap and broke into Dengzhou City. At this time, it was only more than half an hour before the Chinese army launched an attack on Dengzhou.
The main reason why the attack was so easy was that the Qing army of Geng Zhongming's troops did lack the experience of fighting with the Chinese army. The tactical routines used by the Chinese army were not familiar with the other Qing army. If it were other Qing troops, they would know that the general city walls were in front of the firepower of the Chinese army. It is difficult to defend, and you must establish a position outside the city to defend. If you must defend it based on the city, you must prepare sand bags, earth, stones and other objects in advance and enough soldiers arranged in the city. Only in this way can you immediately after the city wall is blown up. Hold the gap to block the Chinese army's assault or fight street battles with the Chinese army in the city
