Chapter 644, Cantaloupe Battle

 Many generals are willing to issue military orders, saying that the Xinghai people's Lingbao group will be captured within three days!

In such an atmosphere, the three princes Wu Shanggeng had no choice but to join in.

No way, the Qing court was already very suspicious of them. If they didn't show it now, Duduo might turn against them on the spot and capture them directly.

Although the three families of Wu Shanggeng and Wu Shanggeng had their own independent troops, due to the Qing army's victorious battles, they could not even think of confrontation.

You know, there are more than 400,000 soldiers and horses of King Qin gathered here, and there are tens of thousands of direct descendants of the Qing court among them. In their view, this is far beyond what their soldiers and horses can fight against.

Duduo's plan is very simple, that is, let King Qin's soldiers and horses continue to weaken the morale of the Xinghai people. Although the Xinghai people's firearms are sharp, the continuous attacks day and night will always make people tired. At that time, the Qing army will have an opportunity.

.

In addition, even if they failed to capture the Lingbao Group, they could at least wear down a lot of those non-direct troops so that they would not pose a threat to the Qing court.

I have to say that Duduo, a guy who is experienced in military formations, came up with very reliable ideas.

In the early morning of the next day, more than 20,000 Mongolian Eight Banner cavalrymen who came from the alliance provinces, led by a certain Mongolian prince, set up their formation and attacked the Lingbao group.

They had never left their hometown often before, and they had no idea about the power of the Xinghai people. They thought that with the speed of the cavalry, as long as they got close to the diamond forts and then climbed directly over the wall, victory would be right in front of them.

In order to allow the cavalry to climb up the wall easily, they also prepared a tool similar to a tiger claw. When they got close to the diamond fort, they could hang the tiger claw on it and borrow the horse power to climb up the wall easily.

Speaking of this method, it is indeed easier if there are no defenders.

But when the more than 20,000 cavalrymen rushed over in a mighty manner, the machine guns mounted on the fort opened fire first.

Under the crossfire of machine guns, the cavalry had no chance to even get close to the diamond fort.

In this battle, the machine gun directly became the protagonist. The infantry did not have much chance to shoot, let alone the artillery.

With so many enemies, Fang Puyu also knew that the coming time would become extremely cruel, so in addition to asking for help from his superiors, he also expanded some forts in the past few days and divided the garrison into several groups.

, take turns to go into battle and hold on to the position.

The failure of the Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Qinwang soldiers and horses. In the following time, the Qinwang soldiers and horses from all walks of life took turns to go into battle, constantly attacking the Lingbao group.

At the most dangerous moment, some of King Qin's soldiers and horses climbed up a diamond fort.

It's just that these King Qin's soldiers and horses who climbed up the Lingbao were quickly driven down by the infantry on the Lingbao.

In just three days, King Qin's losses reached as high as 100,000 troops.

Well, except for the initial wave of cavalry, those sent out by King Qin were all old, weak, sick and disabled, trying to consume the energy of the Xinghai people as much as possible.

By this time, the generals of King Qin also knew that the Xinghai people were indeed powerful, but they had too many soldiers and horses.

Anyway, death is not death for generals like them. As long as they attack day and night, the Xinghai people will not be able to hold on.

And the Qing army did this. Even late at night, they would launch night attacks from time to time.

However, within a few days, reinforcements from the Xinghai people arrived, switching all the exhausted Fang Puyu's men to defense.

Since all operations were carried out by sea, the Qing army had no coastal defense at all, and therefore had no idea of ​​the situation.

When they launched their attack again, they found that the enemy seemed to be in better spirits? More motivated?

Three days later, regardless of whether the Qing army wanted it or not, the Xinghai soldiers stationed in the Lingbao Group were rotated again.

That's right, Xinghai Kingdom now regards this place as a training ground, constantly sending recruits who have been recruited and trained to let them feel the blood and heat of the battlefield. In just a few days, these recruits will quickly grow into veterans, and then be

Send them off and bring in the next batch of new recruits.

By the time King Qin's troops and horses were all present, the total strength of the Qing army had not increased much, to less than 500,000.

But having said that, most of Duduo's plan was successfully completed.

A large number of non-lineage troops were wasted in this flesh and blood mill, and even the independent troops of Wu Shanggeng and the three families suffered considerable losses.

During this time, the once high-spirited Prince Wu looked very haggard.

But this way, the battle can no longer be fought.

Even Duduo's power could not make those Qinwang soldiers and horses take the initiative to charge into the battle.

By this time, Duduo also knew that the Xinghai people's position was really impossible to defeat.

On that battlefield, if the Xinghai people did not allow them to collect corpses every day, the corpses alone could be piled several meters high.

But even if he couldn't defeat it, Duduo couldn't withdraw his troops. The capital was two hundred miles away. If he withdrew his troops here, the Qing government would be waiting to withdraw to his hometown.

Under such circumstances, Duduo could only hold on and send thousands of soldiers and horses to wander outside the Lingbao Group every day to attract the attention of the Xinghai people, and then slowly return to the camp.

But the problem is that as most of the Qing troops stationed in the provinces went to King Qin, with the full cooperation of Nanming and Xinghai Kingdom, the provinces under the Qing government soon set off a wave of anti-Qing.

If Nanming was destroyed, it would be difficult for such an anti-Qing wave to start after the Qing government had been in power for more than ten years.

After all, people yearn for stability. As long as the Qing government provides some benefits, most people are still willing to be obedient citizens.

But the problem is that Nanming has not yet been destroyed, and most people have some hatred against the Qing army.

Under such circumstances, it was relatively easy to incite the anti-Qing tide.

What's more, Xinghai Kingdom has more or less support for various rebels.

The highlight is the cantaloupe thunder.

Since many provinces are far away, the number of cantaloupes transported by lightning is not very large.

A rebel army of a thousand people can only get more than a hundred cantaloupe thunder at most.

But there are also instruction manuals for the more than one hundred cantaloupe mines. For example, it will teach the rebels how to skillfully use the cantaloupe mines to launch attacks on the Qing army.

Besides, the quantity of cantaloupe mines is controlled, but those cold weapons are open to supply.

The low carbon steel swords, guns, recurve bows, etc. produced by the Xinghai Guoleng Weapons Art Processing Factory are all processed by machine tools, and their costs are actually very low.

The armed anti-Qing rebels soon caused a lot of trouble to the Qing troops stationed in various provinces.

I slept well that night, but someone threw a cantaloupe thunder in, killing more than ten Qing soldiers while they were sleeping.

Even if you are heavily guarded, you can't stop someone from suddenly throwing a cantaloupe mine on the roadside while patrolling at night.
