Chapter 44 Qingyuan Defense Battle 21

It’s not too late!

That clump of goatee makes Liu De still look so wretched, but it is this wretched young man who is commanding the 12,000 soldiers of the Second Battalion of "Loyal and Brave" and "Yiyong". [] It is also this wretched man who was trapped in Guan Ning in Qingyuan.

When it was destroyed, he led his troops to arrive in time.

Talking about the Three Kingdoms, talking about the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms had such a great influence on Liu De that he also came slowly in a wheelbarrow with four big men, the goose feather fan in his hand gently shaking, and sometimes touching it

Goatee, sometimes waving the goose feathers, behaves with great control, and looks like an unparalleled military advisor.

Pan Changqing sat on the horse next to Liu De. Behind Pan Changqing stood a few big men, but they were the seven Wu brothers. They were looking up at the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion who were covering up the Qing army from behind. They were surprised by the power of the serial guns.

It was very exciting. This was the first time for everyone to see such a sharp weapon, so one can imagine their surprise.

Unite all those who can be united and make use of all those who can be utilized.

Liu De was very courageous. He released Pan Changqing and the Wu brothers who were imprisoned by Zhao Qiang. Not only that, he also appointed the Wu brothers to serve as Qianhu military officers in the Xinjian Zhongyong and Yiyong 2nd Battalion, letting them lead the troops. 7

Brother Wu Si was a member of Guan Ning Ten Thousand Households, so Liu De used him to lead a Zhongyong Battalion of 6,000 men, with a little suspicion and caution.

Chang Qing, Wu Da and others put aside their worries and tried their best to lead the old troops of Wu Army to come for reinforcements. But even so, Pan Changqing still had other plans in mind. The loyal and brave battalions were composed of former Wu Army troops and Yunnan people.

The real prince has a good foundation. With a full stomach and a little training, the soldiers will be full of vigor and vitality. As long as they are commanded properly and with the help of the momentum of Guan Ning's army outside the pass and the east wind, there is hope for the restoration of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although Pan Changqing respected Zhao Qiang as a good man, he despised him from the bottom of his heart. How could a man with a background of bodyguard be the leader of restoring China and expelling the Manchus? Let alone inherit the mantle of a prince. Look at him.

When Guan Ning's army acted arbitrarily, we knew that this man was very ambitious. He would definitely not be able to restore the Great Zhou Dynasty when he sent troops into the pass. If he looked for a descendant of the prince to become the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor's throne would probably fall to his butt.

Next. This was accepted by Pan Changqingfa. He was very loyal. Even though Wu Sangui and all direct descendants of his family had been killed by the Qing army, he still held the idea of ​​loyalty to the Wu family and did not want others to get involved in the old Wu army and use them to achieve success.

Personal achievements. So after a meeting in Alchuka, Pan proposed to Zhao Qiang that the old Wu army should be summoned by him and the Wu brothers to form a separate army to echo Guan Ning and jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty to comfort Emperor Zhaowu's spirit in heaven.

How can a duck that has reached its mouth just fly away? When they go south, the old troops of the Wu army and the Yunnan people are the supplementary troops for Zhao Qiang's plan. Now that it is finally done, Pan Changqing wants to pick the melon easily, but Zhao Qiang

Of course he couldn't accept it, and he didn't bother to argue with Pan Changqing. With a wave of his hand, he asked the guards to imprison him and the Wu brothers. Wu Si, who came to plead for mercy, was also imprisoned without mercy.

Before the big thing is accomplished, some people want to disperse the weak anti-Qing forces. Isn’t this self-destruction of the Great Wall?

The anger in Zhao Qiang's heart can be imagined, and Liu De, as a counselor of the General Government and a military advisor whom Zhao Qiang trusted and valued, certainly knew the reason why the commander imprisoned Pan Changqing and the Wu brothers. But for some unknown reason, he let them go.

Not only that, but they were also entrusted with important responsibilities. They even ignored the Wu brothers' large-scale deployment of their old Zhongyong troops in the army, and handed over the twelve thousand soldiers they had finally trained to the Wu brothers.

However, the Wu brothers followed Pan Changqing's orders. This was tantamount to fulfilling Pan Changqing's wish and giving Zhao Qiang's hard work to others. God knows what was going on in Liu De's head.

Privately, some of the officers who followed Zhao Qiang all the way were very dissatisfied. Because it was the commander-in-chief's order to imprison Pan Changqing and others. Now that the commander-in-chief was not here, Liu De took it upon himself to release them. This was not treating the commander-in-chief's order as child's play.

!

However, Liu De held a high position and was fully responsible for the military affairs of Ningguta. Without orders from the commander-in-chief, although the officers were dissatisfied with what he did, they could not interfere and could only let it go.

Liu De also respected Pan Changqing very much on weekdays and listened to his opinions on everything. This time he led the Zhongyong and Yiyong Battalions to Qingyuan for rescue was also the result of prior discussions with Pan, and it was precisely because of Pan Changqing's consensus that he

The Wu brothers, a group of loyal and brave old troops, and Sichuan generals such as Xiao Zhenghua all united as one and vowed to break the siege of Qingyuan and fight to the death with Kangxi.

"Pass this official order, all armies will fight bravely to kill the enemy. Together with the vanguard and the second division of the Guards, we should cooperate with each other inside and outside to kill the Tatars by surprise!"

"Wu Qianhu, please let your brothers lead their troops to fight. After joining our people, they will quickly switch to defense. If the Tatars retreat, let them go. Remember not to be reluctant to fight!"

After passing the order, Liu De habitually turned his head and glanced at Pan Changqing, who was looking ahead: "Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

Chang Qing nodded slightly: "The Tatars have cavalry. Although our army has a series of fire cannons in hand, it will be no problem to repel the Tatars, but if we pursue them, the power of the fire cannons will be lost, and the soldiers will also have two legs.

We can’t drive out the Tatars. We have to break the siege of the second vanguard division first. According to me, the Tatars’ attack now is their last breath. If we attack suddenly, the Tatars will be caught off guard and it will be difficult to resist.”

"Master is right."

Liu De smiled and waved to Wu Da. Wu Si and others ordered: "Several generals are going to fight now. The Tatars must be driven out of our army's positions!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wu Da, Wu Er, Wu Fourth and other generals hurriedly clasped their fists and responded to the order. Soon, the 6,000 soldiers of Zhongyong Battalion, led by their generals, strode towards the Qing army.

The three hundred serial guns carried by the Volunteer Battalion were originally transferred to Qingyuan by Wei Ji from Yask from Dai Zi's Firearms Department. However, when they arrived at Shouyi City, they were sent by Liu De from Ning Guta.

Urgent report, learned that the general led the cavalry division south to enter the Pass, and those who stayed in the Qingyuan were the vanguard and guard divisions led by Hu Wang, and had been surrounded by the Qing army. Liu Dexin asked Wei Ji to take over all the firearms produced by the Firearms Department

They were all sent to Ninggu Pagoda to strengthen the firepower of the newly formed second battalion of the Han army to rescue Qingyuan. After receiving the letter, Wei Ji did not dare to delay and hurriedly adjusted all the fire muskets, totaling 300 serial muskets and 900 modified muskets.

The flintlock rifles were rushed to Ningguta, and along with them were 400 fire rifle soldiers drawn from Yask and Shouyi City.

Liu De didn't know much about the power of the chain gun, and it was the first time he saw it, but when he saw it, he was as shocked as the Wu brothers. He saw that the three hundred chain gun was like a sharp weapon.

, sweeping across the Qing soldiers in front of them. One after another, twenty-eight rounds were fired continuously. In just a short moment, the Qing army suffered thousands casualties. The remaining Qing soldiers were so frightened that their courage was broken, and they screamed backwards.

He ran away, fearing that the monster-like fire cannon that couldn't stop would hit him.

"The serial gun is indeed well-deserved. No wonder the commander traveled thousands of miles to capture this Dai Zi. Well, although it is only three hundred guns, it can be worth half the division. Under such continuous fire, who can stop me, Guan Ning?

!”

Unexpectedly, coupled with the astonishing lethality of the serial cannons, the Qing army that was attacking the vanguard and guards divisions was like a nest exploded. The originally dense formation dispersed. The Qing army in front of the volunteer battalion was just trying to escape.

He didn't dare to look back. Liu De was so happy with the results of this battle, he secretly thought that he had to ask Dai Zi to build more. Three hundred shots were too few, too few!

Little did he know that these three hundred muskets had consumed all of Yask's refined iron, and even more of Dai Zi's efforts. In less than a month, half of his hair had turned white.
