Chapter 346 You know shit, this is proven firepower
Perhaps because they heard that the Central Army was coming to Beijing, the religious bandits in Linqing City did not dare to cross the border halfway out of the city to attack.
The Central Army, which had sufficient transportation capacity, quickly brought dozens of small Folang machines and Pishan cannons by boat. Under the command of the officers, they were pulled one by one to the designated location, unloaded, buried, and compacted.
It was mainly people from the Firearms Battalion and the Forward Battalion who were doing this.
The guard camp with the largest number of troops was originally the most elite Baiya La soldiers of the Eight Banners. In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the guard camp was named Guard Army. They were all Manchu and Mongolian elites from the Upper Three Banners and Lower Five Banners.
However, the guards of the Upper Three Banners mainly guarded the gates of the palace, while the guards of the Lower Five Banners mainly guarded the gates of princes and ministers. At first, they just paid it back, but over time, the guard camp became a property security guard.
The Eight Banners has the largest number of people, but what about their combat power?
I'm not bragging, Jia Liu doesn't need a knife, he can hit two with one.
It's hard to tell when it comes to using a knife.
His brother-in-law Chunying believed that the palace had a bodyguard with an average age of fifty.
In short, during the Qianlong Dynasty, the Hujun Camp had almost no experience in expeditions except following Mulan on her autumn hunt and patrolling the east and south.
He knew the details of the guards, so of course he didn't mean how much of a surprise a few hundred guards could give him. When there was a real fight, he could just fire a few shots and run to Linqing City.
Waving the flag and shouting, to make your voice powerful.
What Jia Liu really relied on were the 500 Eight Banners soldiers from the Forward Battalion and the Firearms Battalion. Previous investigations showed that many of these Eight Banners soldiers had been to Burma and Jinchuan and had certain combat effectiveness.
This is your own strength.
On the opponent side.
Wang Lun, the Qingshui leader, was able to capture the important canal town of Linqing after the uprising, which shows that his group has a large number of backbone followers and a large number of people. Compared with Shandong Green Camp, the combat effectiveness is definitely higher, but under such momentum, it was him Jia Liu
When you are a leader, you will definitely go straight to Huanglong without saying a word, no matter whether it has dates or not, first poke at the city of Beijing before talking about it.
During the Tongzhi period, the Nien Army's West Route Army that fled to Shaanxi advanced thousands of miles, crossed the icy Yellow River and fought to Marco Polo Bridge. It frightened Cixi so much that she almost took her son and fled to Chengde like her husband did.
No matter which dynasty or generation, beheading the capital is a strategic vision that an outstanding peasant entrepreneur must have.
If Beijing were really attacked, no matter how many Eight Banners soldiers the Qing Dynasty stationed in various provinces, there would be no love in the world.
Even if he can't be defeated, the momentum of the army coming to Beijing can also make Wang Lun become Li Zicheng's second. He can use the momentum to travel across several provinces and manage it well. No matter how bad he is, he can still work with the Qing court for a few more years.
However, Wang Lun had no idea and stopped at Linqing when he should have launched a bold offensive. As a result, he was surrounded by Qing troops on all sides.
In such a situation, no matter how hard the Qingshui cultists fought, it would only delay the date of death by a few days.
Therefore, the outcome of the war is not determined now, but was determined more than half a month ago.
"As the art of war goes, whoever has more cannons will take them all."
While observing the movements in Linqing City with a telescope, Jia Liu spoke highly of his own artillery that had been lined up in emplacements.
"The cannon blasted his mother!"
Following the order from the leading minister, the Central Army took the lead in starting the Battle of Linqing.
After hearing the Central Army's artillery fire, other local armies also began to fire artillery bombardments.
Suddenly, the sky above Linqing was filled with the sound of artillery.
"Huh? Hearing the sound of cannon without being afraid is the best way to be brave!"
Noting that Linqing City was completely silent in the telescope, and that there were no religious bandits on the city walls shouting or running around, Jia Liu couldn't help but secretly praise it.
When you meet your opponent in chess, this battle will not be considered as bullying by Mr. Jia Jia!
"Blast me until there is no more medicine left and then stop!"
The neighboring troops had already begun to attack the city, but Jia Liu was unmoved and wanted to destroy all the medicine.
After the Zhili Green Camp, which was the first to advance, had already reached the city, the order was sent to attack the city.
"One flag serves as ten men!"
"Be born in the Military Aircraft Department, and die in the Ziguang Pavilion!"
"Brothers, come on!"
After mobilizing the attack as usual, Jia Liu drew out his sword and pointed towards Linqing City.
"Kill!"
Well done to Counselor Ying Jitu, he actually put on armor and led the attack in person, which made Jia Liu couldn't help but praise: "What a man!"
The religious bandits in Linqing City finally began to fight back, and arrows were shot down from the city.
"You really don't have a musket?"
Seeing that the bandits had no firearms, Jia Liu became more courageous and asked his own soldiers to wear armor for him.
The city is about to be destroyed, how can we let others steal the limelight?
He is the former incompetent Yin Baturu!
"Up, up, up!"
Lord Jia Jia put on the armor herself, which undoubtedly made the officers and soldiers of the Central Army scream like chicken blood. Even the useless guards and soldiers also screamed.
"Deb!"
"The mark is on!"
"After the city was broken, I sealed the vassal treasury and the residence of the leader of the religious bandits. Without my order, I, the King of Heaven, are not allowed to enter!"
"嗻!"
Just as Jia Liu's order was issued, the Linqing city gate suddenly opened, and then a large group of young and strong religious bandits wrapped in white scarves rushed out.
The ones rushing at the front were hundreds of strong, bare-chested men. They all held two swords in their hands and ran as fast as a rhesus monkey.
Behind them, the congregants rushed out in droves, shouting slogans of "Pull the Hu and destroy the Qing Dynasty". They were not afraid of death and did not avoid the gunfire of the officers and soldiers. They just rushed towards the Green Camp soldiers in a dark way.
A scene that shocked Jia Liuda happened. The Zhili Green Camp soldiers who had originally attacked the city collapsed when the bandits rushed out and fired two rounds of musketry. They turned around and ran away!
"Damn, these Han people are really useless!"
As an authentic Manchurian, Jia Liuqi was not beaten at all. With a wave of the Bilong sword in his hand, he would lead the Eight Banners soldiers to drive the religious bandits back to the city.
In the blink of an eye, another cavalry team rushed out from the city gate, led by a dashing young female general.
Yang Zhi had gathered a lot of information about the bandits in the past two days and shouted hurriedly: "Young Master, she is Wu Sanniang, the righteous daughter of the leader Wang Lun. The bandits call her Holy Girl! People in Lvying said that this Holy Girl has excellent martial arts and can
Use the double swords, it’s so tight!”
Before Jia Liu could say anything, Deb, the captain of the soldiers, shouted: "Brothers, we have targeted the witch, capture her alive and let you sleep!"
This awareness
Jia Liu was first delighted and then shocked, and cursed Shuan Zhu: "Why didn't you teach the bandit to have a cavalry team earlier?"
After scolding him, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
You're kidding, I'm fighting infantry without horses. If you bring out cavalry, who will play with you?
Even if you don’t want to run, you have to run!
Originally, Zhili Green Camp had collapsed. Here, the bandit cavalry was charging again, and Tianjin Governor Xu Ji was also running away.
The forward battalion and firearms battalion of the Central Army who were rushing ahead were also running back frantically.
It's not that Shuan Zhu's intelligence was inaccurate, it's that the bandits had never used cavalry before.
Wu Sanniang swung her swords straight on her horse, killing several slow-footed soldiers in the blink of an eye. The cult bandits on the horse were all majestic, either sweeping with their spears or slashing with their big knives, killing them all in just a few rounds.
The Qing army was defeated and defeated.
"The idea is too hard, the wind is tight, it's a joke!"
Jia Liu ran very fast, hearing the rumble of hoofbeats, but he didn't panic in his heart, because the dock was not far away, and when the bandit came, he had already boarded the boat.
Even if he doesn't have time to get on the boat, he can go through the small canal in one go with his water skills!
Afraid of hanging!
In fact, just as Jia Liu expected, the religious bandits were focused on attacking the nearby Green Camp and temporarily ignored the retreating Central Army not far away.
Jia Liu safely boarded the ship, took off his armor, and picked up a telescope to inspect the battlefield situation. He wondered whether Xu Futai and General Wan's legs and feet were flexible.
Yang Zhi and Sauron's soldiers also withdrew aboard the ship.
"Why are you crying with a sad face? Failure is the mother of success. Besides, I didn't expect to win this battle in the first place, because this battle is mainly to find out the details of the gangsters."
Jia Liu told the truth, he was the one who wanted to find out the details of the gangsters.
No, wouldn't the intelligence that the bandit has a cavalry team be revealed?
Since ancient times, when using troops, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can be victorious in every battle.
It's also a good thing to teach bandits to fight.
If he can't fight, how can he show his ability like Jia Jiashikai!
In the battle before him, the Zhili and Tianjin Green Camps were completely defeated. Although his Central Army was also in retreat, the losses were certainly not huge.
Even when the whole army was in disarray, he was still able to maintain the organization, which was far superior to his colleagues.
As long as his teammates suffer heavy losses, the command of the war will naturally be transferred to him, Jia Liu.
"sail!"
Putting down the telescope, Jia Liu ordered the boat to be pushed to the middle of the river first to ensure an invincible position.
Unexpectedly, I didn't pay attention to my steps and tripped over the boat ropes piled there. I lost my center of gravity and plunged into the river.
All the soldiers were panicked when they saw this, but Du Shuanzhu remained calm: "Young master knows how to drink water, don't worry!"
The probe looked again: it was broken.
He shouted anxiously: "Young Master's head is stuck in the mud, go down and save him!"
"Thump thump", seven or eight people jumped down at the same time.
It took a lot of effort to rescue Master Jia Jia, who was almost choked to death by the mud.
