The first thousand three hundred and eighty-seven chapters

Only by fighting hard can you win!

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army dared to fight, which was actually a release of a sense of national pride in their hearts.

After being suppressed for a long time, once it explodes, its power will be infinite.

Wu Zheng has been promoting, encouraging and indulging in this sense of national pride, because for physique, northerners are stronger than southerners. This is a fact. People nourished by poor mountains and bad water environments are naturally stronger than southerners who live relatively comfortable.

This is also since the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court needed to use three times, five times or even ten times the force to defend the western Liaoning Corridor, and in the end, the country was destroyed because of its inferior skills.

The Northeast region has a natural terrain barrier, with Daguang'anling on the left, Xiaoxing'anling on the right, and Changbai Mountains on the south, which forms a narrow and long pocket-shaped bridge. If the Central Plains dynasty wanted to enter the Northeast Plain, there was only a single-plank bridge in the western Liaoning Corridor.

In the history of China for several years, only the Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties included the Northeast region within the jurisdiction of the unified central government.

However, Yuan Dynasty itself was a Mongolian, and the Qing Dynasty started from the Northeast, which is not enough to be compared.

In other words, for thousands of years, only the Tang and Ming dynasties truly controlled and sent migrant officials to rule the Northeast.

Even the strong Han Dynasty only expanded to the Western Regions and did not enter the Northeast.

The other dynasties not only were unable to march into the Northeast, but were plagued by the Northeast ethnic minorities from beginning to end, and suffered a lot from the troubles.

The main reason for this is that the geographical environment in the Northeast is restricted. Not to mention the long journey, there are thousands of troops and only one road. Once a large army takes action, it will be blocked along the way and there is no possibility of a surprise attack. On the contrary, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji joined forces with the Mongols to launch a battle to rush into Linghe City for a thousand miles, defeating the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop and building the Linghe City defense line.

The physique of northerners is inherently stronger than that of southerners, without taking advantage of the land, and not as strong as others, so it will be difficult to enter the Northeast.

The Tang and Ming dynasties did it.

There was Heishui Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty and Nuer Gandusi in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the words of the strong Ming Dynasty's praise for the praise of the powerful Ming Dynasty were by no means false.

Unfortunately, the Ming army's combat effectiveness declined rapidly in the late Ming Dynasty and continued to defeat wars. From Yizhou (Daling River), it continued to retreat southward, Jinzhou, Songshan Fort, Jinxi, Ningyuan, and to Suizhong and Shanhaiguan.

Every city and the loss of the key passes has a bloody battle of Ke Ge and countless undead.

When the Qing army entered the pass, the Ming army was almost invincible, which led to the strange thing that Niu Lu Qing army dared to attack the city.

Therefore, Wu Zheng has always "indulged" the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army without leaving prisoners. This is not Wu Zheng's barbaric and bloodthirsty killing, but the "phobia" of the southerners at this time. It is definitely not something that can be reversed by listening to good news. Only by killing them with your own hands can you be fearless!

Although the Northern Expedition Army was not all facing the Manchu Flag Army, most of them were the Han flag troops coming from the north.

Although these Han flag soldiers were the skins of the Han people, they no longer recognized themselves as Han people. Their methods of being fierce towards the Han people were even worse than those of Manchus.

The Northern Expedition Army was not afraid of the Battle of Taizhou and Wusong, and to this day, there have been more than a dozen fierce battles of all sizes.

listen!

Soldiers have already detonated the grenades on their waists.

The gap that was blown out was instantly flooded by the crowd.

But with the first person, there will be a second person, and the power of role models is endless!

Only by daring to die can you survive! This is what Wu Zheng emphasized again and again when he gave a speech to the recruits in the military academy, but at this time, Wu Zheng himself put down his telescope and turned his head.

Four or five years have passed, and soldiers still need to sacrifice in this way, Wu Zheng felt heartbroken.

He couldn't help but curse, "Xiao Anzi, if you don't come, the young master will kick your ass!"

....

As mentioned before, Pei County has a unique terrain, facing water in the east and south, Sishui in the east and Paohe in the south.

There is a bridge on the Paohe River - Feiyun Bridge, which has long been captured by the Northern Expedition Army.

But there is no bridge over Sishui, and there is no East City Gate in Peixian Town.

Therefore, when Dorgon strengthened the walls of Pei County, he only strengthened the south gate and the south walls. In the west and north directions, the prefectures occupied by the Qing army were originally occupied by the Qing army, so it was naturally impossible for enemies to appear.

Because of this, Wu Zheng thought of an opportunity to take advantage of.

That is, let Song An gather together with Xuzhou Chang Lin Wei, recruit local people as guides, and gave Song An three hundred men and some tiger squatting cannons, allowing Song An to quietly detour eastward, cross from Sishui, and attack the east city of Pei County.

If it is a mansion city, this amount of military strength is definitely not enough. However, Pei County was originally a small city and a short wall. As long as it could successfully cross the Si River, it could launch a surprise attack on the East City while the enemy was unprepared.

The reason why Wu Zheng dared to fight this war of attrition at this time was to hold back the enemy and create opportunities for Song An to lead his troops to raid the East City.

Chen Jin probably never dreamed that Wu Zheng would use this "three bad" method. He even transferred the defenders on the city wall out of the city and launched a fierce attack on the Northern Expedition Army. How could he take into account the direction of the east city where the enemy would never appear?

However, just as if he heard the scolding in Wu Zheng's stomach, Song An led his army to attack in Dongcheng.

When the battle in Nanmen City was the most intense and cruel, when Chen Jin was igniting another hope of turning defeat into victory, Song An led his troops to attack Dongcheng.

There was almost no blockade from established enemy troops. Song An led 300 Northern Expedition Army and more than 100 Changlin Guards to the East City Wall.

At this time, Chen Jin's heart was collapsed.

The enemy actually appeared from the most unlikely place.

Looking at the fierce battle ahead, Chen Jin made a decision, divided his troops to defend and transferred the defenders on the original city wall back.

The organization of the Qing army was quite unclear, such as swords and spearmen, archers and archers, and the troops were interchangeable. That is to say, the upper cavalry was a cavalry, the dismount was an infantry, and the crossbowmen could also play guest roles, which was completely different from the Northern Expedition Army.

Of course, this does not mean to belittle it. On the contrary, it shows that the Qing army's individual soldiers' skills are very comprehensive, but their advantages and disadvantages are often relative.

For example, Qing soldiers often rushed forward frantically after the war started, and advocated personal bravery more. However, if they were beaten to the point of being slaughtered, their morale would drop very quickly. To put it simply, they were used to fighting a smooth battle.

They disdained the formation and cooperation of the Ming army. Until the Qing army entered the pass, countless Ming generals surrendered to the Qing army, but the Qing army still looked down on the military tactics of the Han people.

But thinking about it, no matter how good the military tactic is, they will be defeated.

But at this time, Chen Jin transferred the crossbow soldiers back to the city wall to block the Song'an army from the East City, and the troops were not transferred.

Because the front was tight, the two sides had already become stalemate. The crossbow soldiers mobilized were actually the reserve team of the Qing army. They were responsible for the front line, and once there was a gap in somewhere, they would push them up.

What Chen Jin was considering was that if this small force was allowed to appear in the south city, it would inevitably lead to a downward trend in the morale of the army. Since there were not many Northern Expedition troops entering the city, perhaps the transfer of this reserve team to the city wall can block the enemy entering the city to calm the morale of the army and take the minority of the two evils.
