After Zhao Qiang led the cavalry regiment and a regiment of the Guards Division south to attack the Pass, Hu Wang took charge of the remaining six regiments of the Guards Division as the commander of the Wanhu Division of the Guards Division.

, the two divisions combined have a total of more than 28,000 soldiers. In terms of firearms, the Guards Division has one fusiliary regiment and three matchlock regiments, and the vanguard division has two brigades of matchlocks.

There are 0,000 fire soldiers, and the rest are equipped with cold weapons, mainly swords, spears, bows and arrows. In addition, there are more than 2,000 strong men of various ethnic groups who were forcibly recruited and intimidated after the vanguard division occupied Jilin Wula, as well as Ning Guta

More than a thousand people came here to transport food and stayed behind.

Due to the fierce attack by Shengjing General An Zhuhu's troops, Zuo Mingnan's troops of the rear guard division retreated to Dashouula on September 5th. Since the troops moved south, a total of three regiments were lost, and the remaining troops were less than four.

The regiment consisted of 8,000 men. The division commander Zuo Mingnan originally intended to lead the rest of his troops to move closer to Qingyuan, but he received a letter from Liu De, the counselor of the Ningguta General Office, stating that the commander-in-chief had ordered that the rearguard division should not retreat any further and must

Stick to the front line of Dashiwula in order to contact the Zhungar tribe. Liu Dexin used the words of Marshal Zhao Qiang to expressly order Zuo Mingnan's rearguard division not to move a step towards Qingyuan, nor to retreat one mile towards Ningguta, otherwise military law

No!

Because the rear guard division headed south to Jinzhou and Montenegro, it was difficult to communicate with the main force. Therefore, Zuo Mingnan did not know that the commander-in-chief had led all the cavalry to attack south. He only thought that the commander-in-chief intended to fight the main force of the Qing army in Qingyuan, and he wanted to lead the four troops under his command.

The regiment rescued Qingyuan and combined the strength of Guan Ning's entire army to fight against the Qing army. However, after the deputy division commander Qian Lin persuaded him, he gave up the idea of ​​marching north to rescue, and led his troops to hold on to Daxiu La and contain the front line from Montenegro.

The Qing soldiers and horses came.

On the fourth day of September, Prince Fusui of Su led an army of 11,000 men, including Tong Guogang, to attack Fushun again. Because the Qing army brought four general cannons in Shengjing City, the second regiment of Guanning's vanguard division in the city was unable to fight, and the city was destroyed.

, the second regiment was completely wiped out, and the regiment leader Lin Jiafeng took advantage of the chaos and led more than a hundred troops to break through. Hearing that Fushun was restored, Kangxi was overjoyed and urgently ordered the Fushun Qing army to advance to Yongling in order to cut off the northward escape route of the Qingyuan rebel army. Lin Jiafeng

After breaking through to Qingyuan, he reported to Hu Wang, the temporary commander-in-chief, about the Qing army's intention to block Jilin's retreat. Hu Wang then rushed to pass the news to Ninggu Pagoda.

After receiving the letter, Liu De of Ningguta learned that Zhao Qiang had led people into the pass and that the troops and horses remaining in Qingyuan were commanded by Hu Wang. After checking the map, he immediately ordered someone to inform the rearguard division, asking them to hold on no matter what.

Sacrifice Ula, because Liu De judged that once the commander entered the customs and defeated the city of Beijing, he would plunder the population and wealth of Beijing and exit the customs. There were two ways to exit the customs. One was from Zhangjiakou to outside the gate and back to Ninggu via Horqin Mongolia.

The other is to continue to exit from Shanhaiguan, turn northwest through Jinzhou and enter the grassland to return. No matter which of these two roads, Dasa Ula is the only way, so if you want to ensure that the commander can return safely, Dasa Ula

It must be controlled by Guan Ning's army. Once the animal-killing Ula falls into the hands of the Qing army, the commander's escape route to the north will be blocked, forming a dead situation.

Go to Ninggu Pagoda for digestion.

Feeling that he had a heavy responsibility, Liu De, on the one hand, used the commander's words to strictly order the rearguard division to hold on to the Ula sacrifice, and on the other hand, he stepped up his efforts to transport the grain snatched from Heilongjiang, Ningguta and other places to Qingyuan before the Qing army failed to cut off the road to the west of Qingyuan.

, to ensure that the Qing army Hu Wang could hold on. In addition, he made secondary preparations and utilized the 12,000 soldiers of the Second Battalion of Zhongyong and Yiyong who were being trained to deal with the Tuzhai in the northeast and southwest of Ninggu Pagoda.

Set up fortifications as a barrier for Ninggu Pagoda, and urgently ordered the left-behind officials in Heilongjiang, Shangyangbao and other places to recruit young people to Ninggu Pagoda to organize a reserve team to rescue Qingyuan. During the rescue, these troops were used as Ninggu Pagoda.

The defenders prepared the situation in case the Qingyuan could not hold on and the Qing army took advantage of the situation to advance towards Ninggu Pagoda.

When Liu De was too busy to sleep in Ninggu Pagoda, Hu Wang and more than 20,000 soldiers in Qingyuan were also sweating profusely. During several small-scale attacks by the Qing army, Hu Wang followed Zhao Qiang's instructions when he left.

Let the soldiers and young civilians work together to dig deep trenches around the military camp, and the excavated soil from the trenches will be built into earth walls on the spot. The earth walls are more than half a person's height, which can cover the firecrackers and archers from shooting, and can also block the firemen and enemies.

Delayed the Qing cavalry's breakthrough.

There must be a ditch behind a wall, and a wall behind a ditch. The ditch and wall are combined together with firearms and spears to allow the enemy to come and go.

The biggest advantage of Guan Ning's army compared to the Qing army lies in the use of firearms. Although Zhao Qiang took away a fusilier regiment of the Guards Division, there was still a fusilier regiment and three rapid rifle regiments left in Qingyuan.

The arquebus regiment, plus the arquebuses of the vanguard division, still account for more than 8,000 firearms troops. Although such a large firearms unit is under siege, as long as it is properly deployed and the terrain is properly used, it can be completely

He could use the firecracker in his hand to drain the blood of the Qing army.

The combination of ditches and walls, four vertical and eight horizontal, later generations of three-dimensional war defense lines were continuously built by Hu Wang under the instruction of Zhao Qiang and the soldiers and civilians. It was precisely because of the obstruction and delay of these defense lines that several attacks by the Qing army were successful.

In the end, the hasty withdrawal of troops also strengthened the determination of Hu Wang and other generals to persevere, and made the soldiers believe that the Qing army could not defeat them.

Face to face was the army led by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. They were nervous and excited. Encouraged by Hu Wang and other senior generals, the morale of the army was very high. Especially the victory in the first battle made the three thousand Russian troops who came from afar very excited. The Fuso Regiment

The soldiers of the Goryeo team were also very excited and active. Although most of the time, they were engaged in manual labor and building fortifications, but this did not affect their enthusiasm, because the Qing army opposite had their emperor. If they could win

I'm afraid every soldier has an account of how much loot can be distributed to them in this battle.

All the officers of the general banner were ordered to take part in the construction of the fortifications. The day after Zhao Qiang left, the ground in Qingyuan was like a city. A ten-mile-long earth wall surrounded Guan Ning's army. The earth wall surrounded Guan Ning's army.

Between the walls, leave a lot of space, or dig trenches, lay out sharp knives, or provide for the soldiers in the camp to attack. Considering that the war may not be a day or two, it is likely to last more than half a month or even a month, so Hu Wang's reasonable

The troops were deployed, and the four gunnery regiments of the Guards Division and the Russian army were used as regular troops to take on daily guard duties, while the remaining troops rested in shifts and were used as reserves.

The coordination of the fortifications, the sharpness of the firearms, and the deployment of the reserve team can be said to be very orderly. Now everything is ready, waiting for the main force of the Qing army to attack.
