Dominate the Country

[Recommend a novel, literary and artistic Chinese entertainment - Wang Dalun's acting career, I personally feel very good]

Twenty-three years later, London, Europe. At that time, Yongrui, who was already gray-haired and in his twilight years, said in his own memoirs, which were recorded by his grandson, with great regret: I really shouldn't have pulled the troops on the north bank back to the camp, which would not help the Battle of Gunhe at all. I should have given Yingshou the greatest support and supported him to destroy Chen Ni's north bank camp. Even if we couldn't seize their cannons, we could use Chen Ni's cannons to bombard Chen Ni's Gunhe South Camp, and we could also take the cannon boats to attack Chen Ni's north camp from behind.

I admit that Chen Ni's strength at that time was indeed not something that could be eliminated by 13,000 officers and soldiers. Even if Yingshou took down Chen Ni's north camp, his troops would suffer heavy losses. It is doubtful how much effect it would have if he attacked Chen Ni's south camp. But the all-out attack could at least cause great damage to Chen Ni, and make Chen Ni unable to break through Nanyang Prefecture and enter Yunyang after defeating the government army. The fate of the Qing Dynasty will definitely change because of this...

...

When time went to the more distant 20th and 21st centuries, Yongrui's memoir manuscript was always kept in the British Museum of the Anglo-Saxons as soon as it was published, and became an important basis for many European historians to study the changes in the Chinese imperial reform in the late 18th century.

Because these white guys have always been clamoring that the "Qing History" is unreliable, just like Chen Ming organized a large number of people to revise the "New Ming History" on the grounds that the "Ming History" was unreliable, the white guys in Europe have always been committed to promoting the Qing Dynasty, whether from a historical perspective or from a realistic perspective. They don't seem to realize that many of their own solemn conclusions are based on the "mouths" of the Qing Dynasty veterans who are exiled overseas or in Europe, such as Yongrui.

Of course, Yongrui in the Qing army camp on Gunhe River in early August of the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign had not yet realized what was wrong with his "safety" that would make him regret for the rest of his life. Even Yingshou, who organized the troops on the north bank to retreat to the south bank, no longer resisted this order, which means that Yingshou had accepted and approved this order.

These Eight Banners children who were full of confidence in the Qing Dynasty had no idea that the rapidly growing Chen family army would bring them nightmares in the middle of the night.

"Kill--"

Chen Erbao shouted loudly, and the Chen family army cavalry riding low mules tore the remaining Qing soldiers apart, and the first battalion that swept in completely devoured the broken Qing troops. Chen Erbao's face was full of unsatisfied, but he really didn't dare to provoke the large Qing army on the river bank. If the Qing soldiers on the opposite bank or on the boats in the river approached from the left and right and surrounded him when he led his troops to attack the Qing soldiers on the river bank, he would be the one who suffered the tragedy.

Yingshou's army lost 700 people. For a team of more than 4,000 people, 15% casualties made the morale of the Qing soldiers low. Moreover, many of them already knew that the battle on the south bank was not going well.

A secret known by one person is a secret. Goshaha of Yongrui broke the news in front of so many people, and the news could no longer be concealed. From the battalion officer Dusi, guerrilla, to the flood officer Qianzong, Bazong, and then the smaller outer commission Bazong, outer commission Qianzong, and finally hundreds of soldiers, it would be strange if the Qing soldiers could have high morale.

At this time, the rolling Henan camp. Hundreds of defeated soldiers ran out of the camp in a panic like rabbits chased by wild wolves. They completed the task, and the green camp soldiers of Ningqiang Camp saw the criss-crossing gullies in the Chenjiajun camp, but their boss Tian Zhen stayed in the camp forever. He was injured in the leg by a grenade, and then his head was chopped off with a knife.

Qi Jianan, Fuyong, Changxuan and others all looked at each other after hearing the report from the remnants of the Ningqiang Camp. They had never thought that people could go underground to avoid artillery shells. This was something that went against their cognition.

Artillery has been on the battlefield in China for hundreds of years. How to resist it? The armies and the rebels of the Ming and Qing dynasties had the same choice - strong fortifications. Just like the shield cars that appeared again and again, just like what the Chen family army did in Yancheng and Linru Town, just like their earlier Fenghuangtai, they all used unbreakable fortifications to resist all bombardments of artillery fire.

But now the Chen family army has gone underground, hiding under the surface like a bunch of rats.

Fuyong, Qi Jianan, Changxuan, and Zhao Yongji are not idiots. As long as they imagine it in their heads, they immediately understand the function and principle of this move. You can use the word "principle" to say it. Anyway, they all understand why going underground can avoid artillery shells.

So how should they resolve this move?

Iron bullets really can't threaten the Chen family army in the trenches, so it's useless to continue to bombard the cannons. How should Fuyong and his men deal with the South Camp in front of them? After thinking about it, it seems that they can only rely on people.

"Fu Junmen, it's not a good idea to attack directly..." Qi Jianan said so. Chang Xuan, the deputy governor of Jingzhou, who seemed to be tough, didn't say anything. [I think it's wrong to call Fuyong Fu Junmen, because his surname is not Fu. This is as weird as calling Heshen and adults in TV dramas. Maybe it was called like this in the late Qing Dynasty, but during the Qianlong period..., who knows. But if it's followed by his old surname, it will be even more unpleasant. I think it's better to call him Fu Junmen, at least it's easy to say]

"General, as a humble official, we should go back to the camp and reinforce the camp before dawn..." Zhao Yongji, the deputy general of the Xiangyang City Defense Camp, who suffered a big loss last night, followed.

Fuyong frowned, his eyes were full of entanglement, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Report, report to the army. The general has withdrawn the troops on the north bank, and now he is ordering Ma Zhentai to bring troops to support!"

When Fuyong was struggling, the sudden reinforcement brought a new change in the situation.

...

Yancheng.

The Anhui Green Camp that came here for the second time did not repeat the mistakes of the last time. Chen Huizu directly entered from the northeast corner of the county, avoiding the artillery fort that made him a toothache, and attacked the city of Yancheng. However, the Anhui Green Camp that came to the outside of Yancheng County still could not directly threaten the county. Yancheng was the defensive fulcrum of the Chen family army. They built complete fortifications and systems inside and outside Yancheng.

Moreover, Chen Ming's army went south from here, and left a part of the logistics troops.

Yancheng was one of the key defense locations of the Chen family army. Chen Ming only deployed two artillery teams here. Anyway, the Chen family army had plenty of artillery. However, the training of artillerymen was slow. All the artillerymen here were old and new. One of the two artillery teams was outside the city, and the other was on the top of the city. With the tiger squat cannons and grenades that the defenders already had, even though Chen Hongtao's musketeers were few, their defensive strength was not something that the Qing soldiers could easily defeat.

"Kill the militia commander who retreated without authorization, reorganize, and continue the attack..." After another wave of offensives failed, Chen Huizu didn't care how many casualties the troops had suffered, and said lightly.
