Chapter 1379 The Battle of Feiyun Bridge (1)
ps: Thanks to book friends "Little Hehu" and "Pastoral Muge" for their monthly votes.
Chen Jin was a Qing minister in public at this time, but in fact he was already a "traitor of the Qing court" in his bones. How could he deal with the opinions of Suksaha and Sony?
When the Feiyun Bridge in the Lu Realm was blocked, the quarrel between Chen Jin and Suksaha and Sony reached the most intense point.
Chen Jin even threatened that if the two of them would not shut up, they would take it down directly. His excuse was that Suksaha and Sony falsely passed the decree to shake the morale of the army, because Dorgon was the regent of the emperor's father, and his decree was far more authoritative than the so-called decree.
God knows how fierce the anger in Suksaha and Sony are. This is simply a scholar meeting a soldier... No, it is because the Grand Secretary met a rebel minister and it is hard to say whether it is a reason or two.
It’s useless to argue to this extent.
The Qing soldiers reported that the Northern Expedition Army was repelled, which further encouraged Chen Jin's majesty. Chen Jin threatened with great enthusiasm to turn Pei County into the grave of the Northern Expedition Army and wash away the shame of clearing the river!
Although this is a bit arrogant, the terrain of Pei County is indeed unfavorable to the Northern Expedition Army.
Suksaha, Sony had no choice but to leave Pei County, retreat to Yanzhou, and wait for the Qing court's will.
However, they did not go to Yanzhou Prefecture to manage Ziyang, because it was already Dorbo's territory, and they went to Dongchang Prefecture, because it was closest to the capital and the only place in Yanzhou Prefecture that could compete with Dorbo, there was an army - the former Mingping Mountain Guard.
....
Could it be that Chen Jinzhen could get what he wanted and with his 6,000 men, he could block the Northern Expedition Army south of the Paohe River?
Obviously, Chen Jin is dreaming! He is his great dream of spring and autumn!
When the Lu area reached the south bank of Pao River, Wu Zheng had already led the Xuzhou Northern Expedition Army to the north.
In other words, early the morning of the second day after the Lu territory retreated and camped, Wu Zheng led 3,000 people to arrive and the two armies met.
After listening to the report from Lu Zhidi, Wu Zheng laughed.
It was not that Xiao Lu's territory was defeated, but that Xiao Chen Jin's "living treasure" was still in Pei County. Chen Jin was there, and Hu Nigaluo and should be there too. Hu Nigaluo and was previously under Chen Jin's jurisdiction and blocked Wu Zheng in Luliang Mountain.
Wu Zheng has always been "concerned" about Hu Nigaluohe. Of course, it was not that Wu Zheng liked him, but that Wu Zheng missed his head, thinking too much.
The two thousand innocent people who died under the iron hooves of the cavalry in Pizhou need the life of Hunyaluohe to pay tribute.
At this time, Wu Zheng had the confidence.
Because with Song An's rendezvous and the first batch of supplies arrived in Xuzhou, Wu Zheng had artillery at this time. Although most of them were tiger squat cannons brought by Song An, the six-pound cannons also reached eight gates.
If these artillery attacks were dispersed, it might not be enough, but it was just right at this time, because since our army could only break through the Feiyun Bridge, the enemy would be the same and would gather in one place to resist, which would save trouble.
After Wu Zheng discussed specific matters with the territory of Lu and Song An, he ordered a general attack on the North Bank in the afternoon at Shen Shi three o'clock.
Why choose Shenshi?
There are three reasons. One is to paralyze the enemy. After a day of "waiting for the morning of the morning", the enemy must have been lazy in his heart if he doesn't advance to the Northern Expedition Army to attack. He is about to see that the sky is about to dark, and he will think that the Northern Expedition Army will not attack today.
Second, if the army of six thousand wants to rush over a bridge, the density is equivalent to suicide, so it must choose to cross the river, and at least two or three.
Finally, it takes time to collect the ferry. If the enemy wants to fight against the enemy with a river, they will naturally gather all the ferry boats by the river, not leave them to the Northern Expedition Army. Therefore, it takes the most time to piece together and make ferry equipment. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are good at water and can cross the river with a piece of wooden board. They are not afraid of crossing the Yangtze River. Can they still be afraid of being able to soak in the river?
....
Three minutes of Shen Shi.
The Northern Expedition Army suddenly appeared on the south bank. The Qing army did have a chaotic situation on the north bank, but it quickly calmed down.
Yet, yesterday's tactics perfectly repelled the Northern Expedition Army, which made the Qing army very confident that history will repeat today.
They no longer hide, and eight hundred crossbowmen rushed to the bridgehead, infantry rushed to both sides of the bridgehead, shield soldiers were in front and behind the laners hall, and a heavy cavalry of iron armor appeared behind the crossbowmen.
This tactic is very common, but practical.
When encountering dense crossbows, shields must be fought against each other. If you really hold on to the shield, then just like the Qing army's wishes, the cavalry will clean the entire bridge like bulldozers, without any power to fight back.
When Wu Zheng saw this iron-armored cavalry in the telescope, he patted Song An's shoulder excitedly, causing Song An's mouth to break, "Sure enough, he didn't run!"
Wu Zheng handed the telescope to Song An and immediately ordered, "According to the established plan...attack!"
South of Feiyun Bridge, the dense formations of the Northern Expedition Army suddenly separated from each other, and eight six-pound cannons were quickly pushed out.
The distance between two and three miles is exactly the effective range of the six-pound cannon, and the sound of the cannon sounded continuously in an instant.
....
"Arson attack!" Countless chaotic sounds became louder on the other side.
The improved flowering bomb has greater power and more fragments, bursting out in dense enemy formations.
This is more like a massacre. There is no way, both sides' forces are concentrated at both ends of the bridge.
The enemy had fought with the Northern Expedition Army before, thinking that the Northern Expedition Army had no artillery and the range of the musket could not reach the other side. This was also the main reason why the Lu Region was caught off guard yesterday. Once it rushed onto the bridge, it would be difficult to detour and dodge.
Of course, the volley of eight artillery can not repel thousands of people on the other side.
At least the cavalry with iron armor, facing the discharge of artillery shells, had no other abnormal movement except for the war horses stomping on them.
But the casualties of infantry and crossbowmen were a little severe.
Hunnigaluo had to order the infantry to retreat two miles away. If something happened, it might counterattack in the blink of an eye.
But Hunnigaluo obviously did not expect that what the Northern Expedition Army wanted was their retreat.
At the moment when the Qing army retreated, countless soldiers carried the tools to cross the river and appeared on the south bank of the river, fighting for the crossing!
Hunnigaluo, frightened and furious, immediately ordered the infantry and crossbowmen to detour to both sides and block the Northern Expedition Army from crossing the river.
It should be said that this distance can be completely blocked.
But the question is, will the Northern Expedition Army really cross the river?
Is the artillery bombardment on the south bank really to force the enemy to retreat and cover the main force to cross the river?
No, definitely not!
When the Qing army infantry and crossbowmen rushed to the river bank on the north bank and were ready for battle, the enemy's nightmare also came.
Raindrop-like shells poured on their heads and hid? That was a dream!
The range of the tiger squat cannon is too short and can only hit one mile at most.
The two sides of the straits are two miles away, so Wu Zheng had to come up with this method, firing fire on the river surface and killing the enemy's vitality on the other side.
Hunnigaluohe is indeed a brave general, but he is too confident in his courage, has no experience in commanding firearms to fight, and he is very disliked. He is not good at using firearms to defeat the enemy. This narrowness caused his irreversible defeat today.
