The sky in the east has turned white, and the military camp is silent. Except for the patrols that come and go from time to time, there are only more than 3,000 young and strong civilians who work in shifts day and night to reinforce fortifications and lay out horse traps.【】
Most of these young and strong civilian men were men of various ethnic groups who came after the vanguard division's bloodbath in Ula and used the heads of the Qing army to threaten them. Some of them were sent by Ning Guta to transport food. After the food was delivered, they were also
They stayed together, and the war was imminent. It is always good to have more manpower. One more coolie to build fortifications can provide one more soldier to rest, and one more effort can kill one more enemy.
Compared with the Qing army on the opposite side, Guan Ning's army was only one-third of the opponent's size. Based on the situation of Tanma and several initial battles, Hu Wang estimated that the Qing army gathered in the front was no less than 60,000 people, and there were also more troops coming from Fushun north.
With more than 10,000 Qing troops, plus the Qing troops from Shengjing and Tieling cities supporting them at any time, Kangxi's available troops should be around 100,000. The total strength of the Guanning Army's four major regiments plus one reserve division is only 50,000.
In total, except for the reserve divisions that the general took away and stayed in Ningguta and Heilongjiang, and the rearguard divisions that stayed on the front line of Dashiwula, Hu Wang had less than 30,000 men at his disposal, which was only as much as the opponent's 30,000 troops.
One of them, and had no cavalry, while the Qing army had 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry participating in the battle. The huge disparity in strength meant that the Guan Ning army could only defend but not attack. As the saying goes, the attack was insufficient but the defense was sufficient.
Everything is so cool!
Looking at the white fish belly in the east, Hu Wang's thoughts also flew to the city of Beijing thousands of miles away, but he didn't know if the commander could break through the barrier and win the city of Beijing?
Hu Wang was confident that he could win this battle or last until the day when the Qing army retreated south, because the food brought by the army had almost plundered the occupied area. It can be said that except for the necessary food for living in the rear, all the food was gone
It has been transported to Qingyuan, and all the gunpowder is carried, which can last for a month. If the Qing army attacks hard, relying on these densely packed and dug high and deep defense fortifications, Hu Wang has reason and confidence to believe
, he will let half of Kangxi's troops and horses be consumed in Qingyuan, turning Qingyuan into a mass grave and a Jedi that even his Manchurians are afraid of!
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!
The young faces shaking in front of him made Hu Wang sigh in his heart. He didn't know how many of them would survive in this world after the war, and how many of them would sleep underground forever. But this was not what he wanted to consider, and he would not care about these.
What he cares about about the life and death of a soldier is when Kangxi will die! For this goal, even if all the people around him die in battle, he will not frown and will not shed a single tear!
This cannot be said to be cruel or cruel, but it is inevitable for survival. In this world, since you raise your head to rebel, don't think about others. If they die because of this, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, but you can
Who is to blame?
If I die in battle, will there be anyone in this life who sheds tears for me?
For some unknown reason, Hu Wang's nose suddenly twitched, and there was a sense of sourness in his nasal cavity. It was so sour that his eyes turned red involuntarily, and it was so sore that he wanted to hug his head and cry.
At that moment, he thought of his mother who died under the knife of the Qing army, of his sister who was raped by the Qing army, and of the moment when his sister jumped off the cliff.
Who said men cry?
No one is born heartless, no one is born sentimental, no one is born cold, but now, in order to survive and fight back to the pass, my heart cannot be weak!
Kangxi, come! Either you die or I die! Eat me in one bite if you can!
Heidong's eyes became deeper, and his gaze turned toward the Qing army camp ahead became sharper.
Murderous aura, the unique killing intent of a general.
Hu Wang couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't wait to experience the Qing army's violent attack after a few days of calm. He wanted to know how heavy Kangxi's fist was!
Kangxi, no matter how hard your knife cuts, no matter how sharp you come, when I fall, I will break all your teeth!
He suddenly sneered without realizing it. The laughter was so weak that no one noticed it. Even Zhao Guo, who was following Hu Wang closely, didn't notice Hu Wang's smile.
Hu Wang was smiling. He was smiling from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he was smiling, a heart-warming smile. But on his tense face, the smile had no warmth at all. It was cold and strange. What made him laugh was that
The reason is very simple, because he thought that as long as he held on to the end in Qingyuan and exhausted the Qing army, when Kangxi knew that the commander-in-chief had entered the pass to seize his Beijing city and wanted to return to the army, he would be able to bring the commander-in-chief back to the pass to deal with the commander's troops.
It is stretched thin, and all its talents are lost, and it will never regain its previous vigor.
With the Eight Banners destroyed, the world will no longer belong to his Aixinjueluo family!
Everything is ready and waiting for the Qing troops to arrive.
After once again glancing at the peasants who were lying or lying there tired from days of digging, Hu Wang ordered coldly:
"From now on, you are no longer slaves of the Guan Ning Army, and you no longer have to bear hard labor. After the battle is over, you can go home. But before that, I will ask you to take up arms and fight with my soldiers.
Fight side by side until the Qing army is defeated! If you cannot do it, then you will be buried in the ground of this Qingyuan forever like the corpses you buried. No one will know your life and death, and even your names will disappear forever.
In the human world!"
"But if you fight, you will enjoy all the fruits of Guan Ning's army. You and your families will no longer be untouchables from now on. Guan Ning's army will give you land, houses, and even wealth."
Slaves, now tell me, are you willing to fight alongside me?"
Silence, a brief silence, cheers rang out from the crowd.
"I am willing to die for Guan Ning's army! I am willing to die for Guan Ning!"
The cheers spread from near to far, from the crowd in front of you to the distance, until the entire military camp was empty. People of all races spoke various languages and cheered the same words, "Guan Ning will win! Guan Ning will win!"
Win!"
In the cheers of thousands of people, the ground trembled faintly, and a sound like muffled thunder in summer came from the distance. Soon, the ground began to shake violently. It seemed that at the same time, countless flags appeared in all directions like a vast ocean.
All the Qing cavalry came running wildly, and the darkness pressed down on the edge. They let their horses run wildly, and the sound of iron hoofs made people's hearts tremble.
Is this an all-out attack by Kangxi? Did he use all the cavalry he had?
With his right hand gently pressing the knife handle at his waist, Hu Wang slowly said a few words to a group of officers: "Every unit is ready, prepare to fight!"
