Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 461 Overcome the Qing Dynasty!

It was Huang Degong who supervised the No. 13 town of the frontier defense army who was responsible for the landing of the Ming army at Dagukou.

And it was the town's first battalion who was responsible for rushing to the front and landing on the south bank.The battalion ginseng will be from Shandong, Yang Keqing.

It is said that Yang Keqing was originally a hunter in Shandong, but when he was out hunting, his whole family was killed by Qing captives.Therefore, he changed his name to Keqing and joined Huang Degong's army.

It's a pity that after several years, not only did he not get the chance to fight against the Qing captives, but also because of his stubborn temper, although he made many military exploits, he was never promoted.

It wasn't until Huang Degong was loyal to Zhu Yuxi that he quickly stood out in the three battles of Yangzhou, Luzhou, and Runing, and he was promoted to the battalion general after his hard work.

Yang Keqing knew that the quick capture of Tianjin Wei was the key to the demise of the Qing captives in the pass, so he led the pro-sentry as the first wave of soldiers to land on the beach.

Before they reached the shore, they saw hundreds of Qing cavalry emerging from the ground a mile away, heading straight for the shore.

Yang Keqing knew about the existence of the Qing captives in the trench, because the drone had detected it long ago, and the naval artillery had also taken care of it.

Now it seems that probably because the naval warships are relatively far away from the ditch, and the trenches of the Qing soldiers have been prepared for a long time and dug deeper and larger, so the previous rounds of shelling did not cause much damage to the Qing soldiers in the ditch. kill.

Although there were more cavalrymen from the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty than Yang Keqing led, he didn't intend to back down in the slightest. Instead, he shouted: "Row faster!"

Yang Keqing's soldiers were also full of fighting spirit, the sword players squatted on the bow of the boat, and the navy oarsmen rowed the boat fast.

On the other side, General Feng Manzhong of the Green Battalion led more than 500 cavalry to a place half a mile away from the sea, and suddenly frowned.

Because half a mile further on is a sandy beach, and the horse's feet are deeply sunken, and the speed slows down all of a sudden, but it is not as fast as a person walking.

He immediately made a decision and shouted: "Get off the horse! Run over!"

Feng Manzhong's leader was the elite of the more than 3000 green battalion under Gang Artest's command. Most of them were composed of servants, and their execution speed of tactics was good. Hearing this, he immediately dismounted and rushed to the beach.

On the other side, Yang Keqing and other Ming troops also encountered difficulties—as they approached the shore, the water became shallower and shallower, making it difficult for small boats to move forward.

Yang Keqing also ordered the soldiers to disembark and land in the water.

After all, it was easier to run on the shore. Feng Manzhong and other green battalion elites rushed to the beach first. Seeing that Yang Keqing and others were within 50 steps, he saw that there were [-] musketeers in the first wave of the Ming army who landed, so he shouted: "Throw a round!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his bow and shot an arrow at the Ming army general who was holding the knife card in front.

As a general, he used a strong bow with excellent aim. He thought that this arrow would kill the Ming army, but when the Ming army raised his hand, he blocked his arrow with a rattan shield.

Other elites from the green battalion also knew how to shoot arrows, but the rain of arrows composed of more than 500 arrows covered them, but they could only hear the sound of tinkling gold and iron amidst the sound of the waves.

However, Yang Keqing's soldiers all wore steel flying saucer hats, fine cloth face armor and plate armor (breast armor). Except for a team of musketeers, the remaining 200 people were sword players, so naturally they were not afraid of thrown arrows. rain.

Seeing this, Feng Manzhong could only give an order: "When they are within [-] steps, shoot again with heavy arrows. Now spread out and guard against their muskets and grenades." …

After the Battle of Yangzhou, although there were only two major battles between the Qing army and the Ming army in Luzhou and Runing, small battles actually occurred in the Jiangbei and Shaanxi battlefields. The equipment is well known.

Sure enough, after Feng Manzhong gave the order, he saw the Ming saber players in the shallow water spread out, revealing the two groups of musketeers behind.

The effective range of the Ming army's flintlock guns is now seventy or eighty paces, but now it is only fifty paces. Seeing that the Qing captives were scattered farther apart, the Ming army musketeers did not use volleys of guns, but fired freely.

Although these more than 500 elite Qing prisoners were all wearing cotton armor and chain mail, like the Eight Banners Army's vest soldiers, within fifty steps, a round of gunfire by the Ming army still caused more than a dozen casualties.

At this time, Yang Keqing led the scattered sword players and charged within thirty steps.

Feng Manzhong didn't dare to wait any longer, and immediately ordered to shoot the arrow.

As a result, due to equipment reasons, this round of arrow rain only caused a few casualties to Ming Saber players.

Then, Yang Keqing led the soldiers and finally rushed within twenty steps of the Green Battalion soldiers, and only a dozen steps away from the shore.So they took out the grenades one after another, bit off the fuze, and threw them out.

Many green battalion soldiers were waiting to bend their bows and shoot arrows again. When they saw the grenades being thrown, they could only dodge in a hurry.

boom boom boom

One or two hundred grenades almost flooded the beach with gunpowder smoke, among which were the screams of many green battalion soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Keqing finally rushed ashore with his own soldiers.

"Come on!" Yang Keqing yelled, "Get a place for the soldiers who landed later!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed into the green battalion soldiers who were temporarily in chaos due to the grenade.

The soldiers of the frontier guards were all Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the powerful soldiers of the official army back then. They had rich experience in fighting, and now they are all well equipped. Yang Keqing seized the opportunity to lead his own soldiers to slash and kill, but retreated unconsciously.

Just at this time, Artest arrived with the remaining two or three thousand Green Battalion infantry. Seeing this, he ordered Feng Manzhong and others not to retreat, and at the same time called other Green Battalion soldiers to join the battlefield.

However, fifty musketeers among Yang Keqing's personal soldiers also went ashore at this time. First, a round of grenades was thrown towards the rear of the battlefield where there were all Qing captives, and then a volley of gunmen shot them to death.

Even the green battalion soldiers in cotton armor and chain mail cannot block the flintlock within fifty steps, let alone other green battalion soldiers wearing only cotton armor or other layers of armor.

For a while, even if the Qing army had an absolute advantage in numbers, they could not immediately drive Yang Keqing and more than 200 people into the sea.

In this short period of time, the follow-up soldiers of the 13st Battalion in No. [-] Town also landed one after another, went around to the sides and used tiger squat guns, and went straight to bombard the wings and rear of the Green Battalion.

With the sound of the cannon, the overwhelming shotgun sprayed out, and the Green Battalion soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Defeated! Run for your life!"

I don't know who yelled, and immediately many green battalion soldiers turned and fled.

"Don't retreat, cut anyone who dares to retreat!"

Just now Artest was holding a knife and hacking at the retreating Green Battalion soldiers, while shouting and cursing, angry and angry.

Previously, he felt that even if the Ming army could not be prevented from landing, it would be delayed for more than half an hour. …

But now, even a quarter of an hour has not blocked it.

The fleeing Green Battalion soldiers didn't like Artest at all, and some of them even resisted with knives.

After all, Artest and his personal soldiers only had more than 100 people, and they would not be able to change the rout of the green battalion, so they could only flee along with them.

However, Yang Keqing had noticed Gang Atai dressed as a general of the Eight Banners Army for a long time. Seeing him turn around, he took off the bow and arrow on his back and shot it.

He was born as a hunter, has courage, and has been in the army for several years, and his archery skills are quite good.

The arrow hit Gang Artai's vest. Although he didn't shoot him to death, Gang Artai fell to the ground, and then he was stepped on by the Green Battalion soldiers who were running wildly behind him, and he was trampled to death like that!

"Kill!" Yang Keqing shouted excitedly, "Don't let Qinglu escape!"

After finishing speaking, he led the soldiers of the first battalion to bite the tails of these green battalion soldiers and chased them all the way to the outside of Tianjin Acropolis.

Yang Keqing calmed down after being bombarded by some of the Qing army defending the city, and lost dozens of people. He ordered to retreat beyond the range of the Hongyi Cannon at the top of the city, and was ready to wait for the follow-up large troops to bring the Bright Cannon.

···
Inside Tianjin Acropolis.

Leng Sengji's gray brows were curled up.

He never expected that Artai and Tuntai would be defeated so quickly, and it is estimated that the Ming army who landed at Dagukou could not hold off for even a quarter of an hour.

He had seen the power of the Ming army's navy artillery when they bombarded the forts of Dagukou before.Therefore, it is very clear that the more than a thousand soldiers and horses left behind in Tianjin Acropolis, as well as the eight red barbarian cannons, cannot be defended at all.

The only thing he is lucky about now is that when Tuntai and Gang Atai sent troops, he sent a few fast horses to report to the capital.

'I just hope that the regent knows that the Ming army landed from Zhigu, so he can be more decisive and take the emperor and empress dowager out of the pass.If the Ming army is really allowed to stay in the pass, my Qing Dynasty will perish. '
