Chapter 614 Our Qing Empire's Counterattack

Despite the humiliating defeat of the entire Mongolian cavalry, the Qing army's siege of Tianjin was still completed in the shortest time.

Anyway, they have no other choice.

The bandits have hit Tianjin, so the hard-core farmers in Beijing have to fight to the death no matter what. The Eight Banners soldiers are wearing their ancestral armor and carrying ancestral treasure swords. As for the ancestral treasure bows, there is no need. Even if they use all their strength in the Eight Great Hutongs, they don’t expect to pull it apart. Fortunately, this is the era of gunfire, and there is no need for that. In short, the Eight Banners troops in Beijing, who were originally suffering from empty wages, were filled with enthusiasm for our Qing Dynasty, and then drove to Tianjin on horseback or on a boat.

Of course, I dare not pass through the three forks.

At this time, more than a dozen Ming army warships were blocking next to Wanghai Tower!

Even the Ming army stationed in a battalion of Wanghai Temple. The Wanghai Tower, which was originally not allowed to go to except the Emperor and the Queen Mother, became the Ming army's watchtower. In fact, a team of snipers and four Green cannons removed from the cargo ship were stationed. This modern Wanghai Tower Church just controlled the entire Sanchakou. In addition, the Sanchakou was not a modern Sanchakou. At this time, Sanchakou was actually below the Wanghai Tower, and the Tianjin city wall was four roads, east, west, south, north, north, and north, surface warships, city walls, Wanghai Tower, and Wanghai Temple formed a terrifying triangular cross-fire network. Even with Yi Jing and Mu Zhanga's mind, they knew that breaking through Sanchakou was suicide, but if they could not break through Sanchakou, they had to face the South Canal. They would still be attacked by the firepower on the city wall as a target, so that the north would definitely not be used as an attack surface.

There is a sea river in the east, and the tragedy of the Mongolian cavalry has proved that the cruelty of the transport ships sent to the bandits was completely beyond the scope of understanding, so they committed suicide by crossing the sea river.

The only one left is the west and south.

The first 38 Banners and more than 10,000 Green Camps, which the Qing army arrived first, camped on the west and south sides of Tianjin to prepare for the pre-war preparations. As for the command of Yijing, the command center of Yijing was located in Haiguang Temple. In addition to living comfortably, the advantages of this place are mainly surrounded by water on all sides and easy to defend. This temple, which was originally a camp of the British and French forces in history, even built two circles of trenches as a landscape. So these two circles of trenches were very gratifying at this moment. Obviously, Yijing paid special attention to his own safety, but he didn't know that even though it was three miles away from the Tianjin city wall, it was actually at the range of Ming army's field artillery. As for the Haihe River next to it, it was very easy to hit him with the four-inch and three-inch cannons on the frigates.

Of course, the God Emperor would not do that.

He is fishing, so how can he play when he scares the fish away as soon as he comes up?

The Ming army in Tianjin watched the Qing army gather.

At the same time, they still kept transporting away the captured iron-core crops one by one, and transporting all the weapons and ammunition brought into the city this time. During this period, a team of Qing troops tried to counterattack the military ration city from the north bank of the Haihe River, but were beaten by a battalion of Ming troops and several frigates that had gone to reinforce.

There were even Qing army infantry dragging mountain-splitting cannons from the north bank to try to attack the Haihe Pier at night, and then they were focused by the transport ships with searchlights, and then they beat the machine guns to the point of blood.

besides……

In short, in the next ten days, small-scale battles continued, and the Qing army was defeated without exception. They did not even cause any casualties to the Ming army, but they themselves suffered thousands of casualties.

Fortunately, as time goes by, the number of Qing troops increased, and the governor of Zhili, Nar, also arrived and was in charge of the battle in the west direction of the city. In addition, there was also the military minister Long Wen. He died of worries and anger after signing the Guangzhou peace treaty in history. However, this time he did not follow Yishan south. Instead, Saichong A was a scapegoat for him, so the holy family is still very prosperous. He led the Eight Banners of Shanhaiguan and Miyun, and the Green Camps in Shanyong and other places as the North Road is mainly responsible for the north of the Haihe River. The deputy commander of Shanhaiguan was the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan, but was blown up by artillery shells. Long Wen even organized a regiment training naval army in Beitang to try to attack Dagukou...

Well, he was trying to attack the eight battleships and battlecruisers.

Later, the matter ended without success.

It was probably those fishermen who had no one to accompany him to madness.

In short, after the first half month of chaos, the total strength of the Qing army in Tianjin quickly reached 80,000. It can be said that all the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty were released. At least, they had practical experience in the battlefield in Jiangxi. Even Yi Jing, who had failed, mobilized all the cannons that could be mobilized from all over the country in order to ensure victory, even the ancient cannons from the Ming Dynasty were dismantled on Shanhaiguan.

Finally, he started the general attack with a total of four hundred cannons of various tonnages.

Then……

"Quick, don't stop!"

Fu Ming'a, the leader of the Han army in Zhengbai Banner, looked at the Guiji Gate standing in front of him, constantly urging the soldiers beside him. The latter was trying hard to push an ancient bronze cannon. Seeing that the bronze cannon was used by his ancestor Yuandudu when he was guarding Ningyuan, I didn't know where he found it. Now it has become a support for defending the Qing Dynasty. Under the sweat of the soldiers, he slowly moved forward a little bit on the soft muddy land in the south of Tianjin City.

The distance is one foot closer.

The deep ruts behind the wooden wheel are also stretched one foot long.

Yuan Jia Fuming Ah joined the ranks of pushing cannons regardless of his image, with his passion for the emperor and his eyesight. While boosting his morale, he pushed the wooden cannon stand forward desperately. The mud quickly dyed his white armor black, and sweat kept falling, but he continued to move forward...

"Push hard, the Eight Banners athletes, the ancestors' spirit of heaven looked at us, pushed it up and killed the bandits who were killed in the sky..."

He shouted panting.

Suddenly, a fire flashed on Guiji Gate a mile away, followed by a harsh roar. He subconsciously threw himself to the side, but at the same time, the soil in front of him was splashing. A large iron ball was added to the soil three feet away, and there was still sparks on the iron ball. Perhaps it was really possessed by the ancestors, and Fu Minga hugged the iron ball with both hands and wanted to throw it out, but he didn't expect that this thing was still hot. When he threw it, he screamed and dropped it directly and then rolled under the cannon stand. The other Eight Banners athletes who had serious lack of practical experience had not yet understood what was going on, and they all watched the thing fall down in a daze...

"Get down quickly!"

Fuminga screamed.

"boom!"

His eyes immediately turned red.

The flowering bullet of the old Jiujin Mountain Howitzer instantly blew the cannon's cannon into pieces, shrapnel and wooden cannon frames swept across the Qing soldiers around. The rolling cannon body hit Fu Ming'a's body. He screamed and tried hard to reach out, then spit out a mouthful of blood and reunited with Yuandudu.

At this moment, all the Ming army's field artillery, howitzers and even mortar artillery were roaring on the walls of Tianjin. Even the eight frigates on the Haihe River joined the ranks of shooting. Without exception, their targets were all large and large artillery that had been pushed by Qing soldiers to a mile away from the city wall.

Speaking of such a distance, the Ming army's field artillery and howitzers had very high accuracy, and they could basically be said to be perfect. The nine- and twenty-pound flowering bullets, even the thirty-pound and three-inch naval four-inch naval naval guns, and the twenty-pound flowering bullets of three-inch naval cannons, were constantly exploded beside the Qing army cannons. Even the worst nine-pound ball-shaped flowering bullets here were cast steel, and a whole kilogram of black gunpowder and aluminum powder made of modern raw materials were stuffed inside. Not to mention the power of the explosion, it was still not stressful to smash a cannon, overturn and blow up the cannon stand, and the thirty-pound grenade of the four-inch naval gun was completely a killer weapon.

There were five kilograms inside.

Not to mention smashing the cannons, it would be fine to smash the nearby Qing army together.

"The bandits killed these days!"

Yi Jing looked at the destruction of his artillery, and cursed with his lips trembling.

"Master Beile, can we not fight without cannons? The total number of bandits is only more than 9,000, and the army is nearly 1,000, and the army is nearly 1,000, and the Sanchakou is nearly 1,000. There are nearly 1,000 troops in Xianshuigu. There are only more than 5,000 defenders in the city. The army bravely approaches the front ants. How many can the bandits kill us even if the guns and cannons are powerful? As the lords fight for our Qing Dynasty, they can finally rush up to the city wall. The bandits rely on firearms. They fight melee and melee, will the guns and stabs be more than spears? Is the last general and I am willing to be the vanguard of all the vanguards!"

The first-class guard beside him said.

His plan is actually quite reasonable. They have 60,000 troops under the city. No matter how powerful the Ming army's guns and cannons are, 60,000 people will charge on the ladder, and how many can they kill half a mile range? Even if they are killed by artillery shells halfway, ten thousand people will die.

And at this moment, even if you die in Tianjin, you will have to regain your life by 100,000 or a million.

The Ming army occupied this place not only to threaten Beijing, but more importantly, it cut off the canal transportation. The hard-core crops in Beijing were counting on the canal for food! Seeing that the autumn harvest was coming, even if the Ming army did not attack Beijing, as long as it was stuck here for two months, the canal was frozen, and the southern canal transportation would not be frozen, and people would starve to death in the city this winter. During this period, due to the war in the south, the grain grain obtained by Beijing had decreased significantly, and warehouses were almost bottoming out. The grain prices in Beijing soared, and the water transport after the autumn harvest was just waiting for the water transport. Now that the Ming army occupied Tianjin, the grain prices immediately rose sharply. If this situation was delayed until winter, it would be really troublesome. There was no food to be plundered around Beijing. If it really was plundered, those ordinary people would rebel in a desperate situation.

It can be said that Tianjin must be recaptured no matter what.

Yi Jing also knows this very well.

"It's my good Eight Banners man!"

He patted Du Xing's shoulder and said.

"Send the order, after an hour, all the troops attacked the entire line and invited the Shangfang sword out. Anyone who dared to shrink back and did not kill the former would be killed without mercy. Behind us is Beijing, the emperor, and the Qing Dynasty. If you fight with these bandits, you will take over this Tianjin no matter how many people die!"

Then he roared with a ferocious face.

His orders were immediately passed down, and 60,000 Qing troops on the west and south sides of Tianjin,
Chapter completed!
