Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 214
"Luo Dingshan played well!"

Da Mingzi, who led the troops into Peixian County, Xuzhou, soon got the battle report from Kaifeng.

Luo Dingshan defeated the enemy in the first battle, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, taking 30 to [-] prisoners, and sent troops to chase and kill them. They defeated the [-] army of Yao Zhifu, the king of Wu of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and only [-] to [-] fled north in embarrassment.

"Just like this, will Liu Zhixie go south?"

Zhu Daohua couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

This battle was fought so beautifully, what if Liu Zhixie was frightened and went back to Tongguan?
"Your Majesty, there are so many people under Liu Zhixie's command that they cannot be counted. If he returns without success like this, I am afraid that his position as the king of heaven will not be secure."

Tao Biquan said.

"Your judge, Liu Zhixie might not give up so easily. Now that we have more than 2 troops on hand, the temptation is too great for him!"

"What if he really resists the temptation and returns west?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

"Then our army will go through Henan and go around to the west of Luoyang to intercept and kill him. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is mostly infantry, and there are so many people. How can Liu Zhixie drag such a huge army to go easily?"

Zhu Daohua nodded slightly.

"Where is Qianlong now?"

Zhu Daohua turned his head and asked, and a staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the 17 troops of the Qing Dynasty marched southward in three routes. The west route has reached Luancheng, and the east route has reached Anping. The Emperor Tartar led the Chinese army to sit in Zhengding."

"Okay, Luancheng, Anping, Zhengding, Jinzhou is surrounded on three sides!"

Zhu Daohua said.

After several years of experience, his ability to lead troops in combat has also improved.

Quickly came up with countermeasures.

"We can't make Qianlong so comfortable, order Zhao Si to assume the posture of leading the troops to go south, and look for opportunities to defeat the army of the Qing and Tatars in the process of going south. If there is no chance, it doesn't matter, and lead them to the south as much as possible! "

After Zhu Daohua finished speaking, he paused and said, "Order Luo Dingshan not to stay in Kaifeng mansion anymore. It is enough for Kaifeng to leave an infantry brigade. He will lead the 7th Dragoon Brigade to join the Army's 1st Brigade. A brigade of [-] people is under his command, go north to find out where Liu Zhixie's central army is, and try to hold back the opponent as much as possible, waiting for the main force of our army to arrive!"

After speaking, Zhu Daohua pointed his finger at the area of ​​Handan.

"Our army doesn't need to wait any longer. Let Liu Zhixie play whatever tricks he wants. Sooner or later, he will realize that in the face of absolute strength, what he plays is useless!"

"Our army just goes straight to Handan and takes Liu Zhixie's army!"

"In this battle, we should use the absolutely superior firepower, the absolutely superior speed, and the thunderous momentum to defeat the Taiping Army! Go north to Yanyun, conquer Beijing, and return to the old capital!"

Inside the General Staff.

The generals immediately stood up when they heard the words.

"Go north to Yanyun, conquer Beijing, and return to the old capital!"

The sound boomed.

go north!go north!
Central Plains.

A group of troops carrying the banners of the Sun and Moon Banner, the 1st Brigade of the Ming Army, and the 7th Brigade of the Daming Army's Dragoons were riding their horses rumbling northward.

The endless North China Plain should have been the most densely populated and most developed agricultural economy in the world.

But at this time on the land of Quang Binh Prefecture.

All the way is barren, overgrown and abandoned cultivated land.

Human smoke is no longer visible.

The entire Great Plains seemed to have become a barren wasteland.

Luo Dingshan is now riding a horse.

Now he has his own old army, the 7th Brigade of Dragoons, and the 1st Brigade of the Army, which is known as the [-]st Brigade of the Ming Army.

Although the 1st Brigade of the Army does not have the designation of the Dragoons.

But as the first brigade of the Ming Army.

The 1st Brigade of the Army also has horses for everyone.

That is to say, now Luo Dingshan has returned to his old profession.

Now there are less than five thousand troops around him, and most of them have been sent out to serve as scouts.

Relying on the mobility of the dragoons and the firepower brought by rifled guns.

Although the strength of the two brigades is only 1, they can be used as [-] to [-].

If scattered, the sky will be full of stars, and if gathered together, it will be a ball of fire.

"Hurry up, we're going to arrive in Linzhang tonight, I guess Liu Tianwang hasn't crossed Zhangshui yet!!"

Luo Dingshan said loudly, urging his subordinates to speed up their pace.

Just now.

A horse rode in front of him.

"General Town, Zhang Baozai, the commander of the third battalion, discovered the Tianwang Banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is just south of Cheng'an and north of Zhangshui River!"

Luo Dingshan was overjoyed when he heard the words.

To the south of Cheng'an County, to the north of Zhangshui River.

It's only fifty miles away from here!
Relying on the mobility of the two brigades at hand.

Get there before dark!

As long as Liu Zhixie's big tent of the Chinese army is bitten, the other party will not want to escape the sight of the Ming army.

When the main force led by Emperor Zhu arrived and bombarded with heavy artillery, how would the opponent resist?

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom tried in vain to deal with Daming by virtue of its military superiority.

It's ridiculous.

After defeating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the army under Qianlong's command who was held back by Song Guogong, don't even think about getting away easily!
Defeat two opponents in one battle.

The prospect of completely regaining the Central Plains is at hand.

And with the merits of this battle, Luo Dingshan's future is also waving to Luo Dingshan.

Thinking of this, Luo Dingshan's heart became hot, and the fatigue caused by two consecutive days of rapid march seemed to be swept away.

The black beard stuck on his chin like a steel needle couldn't help shaking.

The red eyes under the deep-set eye sockets also burst out.

The loud order was conveyed.

"Zhang Baozai did a good job! Let him not rush in, just keep an eye on the opponent's movement, and wait for the army to arrive!"

"Send a signal, send scouts out to gather the army, and head east along the Zhang River!"

"Yes!"

The army rolled forward, and the horse stepped on the Central Plains.

southward!southward!southward!

Guangping Mansion, south of Cheng'an County.

The army of the kingdom of heaven is also rolling in.

The [-] government soldiers led by the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie, [-] old brother soldiers from the old battalions of the princes, and [-] inner battalions escorted countless cannon fodder soldiers from the outer battalions to the south.

The vanguard of the army had already passed Cheng'an, and even started wading across the Zhang River.

However, the tail of the army has just left Handan.

Baggage, food and grass.

Cannons of various colors dragged by mules, horses, and cattle ran over the dilapidated official roads.

The Heavenly Kingdom Cavalry Regiment led by Hou Ran Tianyuan of Tongzhou was guarding back and forth in the middle army of the King of Heaven.

Liu Zhixie was also sitting on a Mongolian horse at this time, the exhaustion in his face was obvious, but his eyes were filled with high spirits, and there was an army of this size.

In this world, no matter what, it can be contested!

Just now.

A ride to the south.

"Heavenly King, I found a small group of mule soldiers from the Ming army approaching!"

Hearing this news, Liu Tianwang couldn't help frowning.

This way to the south.

Harassment by mule soldiers is everywhere.

These mule soldiers rode Mongolian horses, usually one man and two horses, and were equipped with long and accurate rifled guns.

Specially looking for harassment in the weak places of the army.

If you shoot a few shots from a distance, you dare to ride away. If you pursue it, it will be easy to encircle it. If you don't pursue it, you will be troubled.

It is very annoying.

"Heavenly King, ask your subordinates to bring cavalry to drive him away."

Beside Liu Tianwang, Tongzhou Hou Ran Tianyuan said.

Liu Zhixie shook his head and said, "It's just a small group of mule soldiers, why bother the Marquis of Tongzhou to go out in person and send Qingqi to disperse them."

As soon as Liu Zhixie finished speaking, the sound of gunshots rang out.

"Not good!" Ran Tianyuan's face changed, "Hearing the gunshots, there are probably at least several hundred mule soldiers!"

"They're here for the Chinese army tent!"

The expressions of all the people present changed.

"Any news about Emperor Zhu?"

Liu Zhixie asked solemnly.

Wen Wang Zhang Hanchao next to him shook his head slightly.

"Ever since it was discovered that Emperor Zhu left Xuzhou to go north, there has been no trace of him."

Hu Hu Hu.

The north wind howls past.

Liu Zhixie looked up.

All I saw was an array of marching troops that had just joined each other end to end.

"The [-] soldiers under Emperor Zhu's command all have horses." Zhang Hanchao murmured in a low voice.

Liu Zhixie was shocked,

If there is a cavalry attack at this time, they will directly take their own central army account.

At that time, I am afraid that he will be beheaded before even the troops can gather.

"Stop advancing! Gather the front army and the rear army, and set up camp on the spot!"

Liu Zhixie frowned.

"Could it be that Emperor Zhu wants to take the initiative to attack, and he wants to use [-] horsemen to charge directly at the Chinese army?"

Liu Zhixie stood up from the horse, the sky was overcast, and the north wind howled.

On the flat horizon of the North China Plain, there seemed to be giant beasts that would choose to devour people at any time, completely engulfing Liu Zhixie's million-strong army.

Liu Zhixie's expression changed slightly.

The anxiety in his heart made him uneasy.

far away.

The chasing war has begun.

I saw only the cavalry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom chasing forward.

And the mule soldiers of the Ming army retreated all the way, all of a sudden.

Intensive gunshots sounded from both sides, and the cavalry of the Taiping Army who were chasing out were shot and killed.

The mule soldiers of the Ming army turned back and pulled the corpses of the Taiping cavalry soldiers with ropes to provoke them in front of the formation.

Just this time.
But no cavalry from the Taiping Army pursued alone.

Thousands of cavalry were assembled and chased forward. The mule soldiers of the Ming army threw away the corpses of the Taiping cavalry on the ground and then walked away.

Just now.

Another scout returned.

Bring back a piece of news that made the high-level Taiping army present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Luo Dingshan, a general of the Ming army, led more than [-] elite soldiers, and came straight to the Chinese army.

"Hahaha! It really is Liu Tianwang's Chinese army!"

Luo Dingshan stood on the horse and saw Liu Zhixie Tianwang Banner from a distance with a telescope.

"General Town, it will be easy to find Liu Zhixie's Central Army. It is not difficult to defeat them. The key is how to encircle them as much as possible!" Ren Jiangliu, chief of staff of the West Route Army Staff Department in Luodingshan, laughed, " Our task is only to nail Liu Zhixie to the edge of the Zhang River, and then it depends on the strength of the emperor's army, it will take one day for us to spread the news, but it will take at least two days, or three days, for the army to arrive!"

'Three days.'

Luo Dingshan pondered for a moment, and said: "In the past three days, we can neither beat Liu Zhixie so badly that he turns around and leave, nor let him take advantage of too much."

"How to play this scene is really difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must act well. It is best to attract the army of the Qing Dynasty. If they are all wiped out in one battle, then the world will be over!"

Ren Jiang said with emotion.

"If one battle can't fix the world, then fight two battles. Whether it's the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the Qing Dynasty, how could they be my opponents! If you kill more enemies on this battlefield now, it will be easier to clean up the place in the future!"

Luo Dingshan laughed.

"The army continues to move forward and set up camp across the Zhangshui River. Let's put out a tortoise shell and let Liu Tianwang fight it himself!"
