I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 156
March two days.

When the Ming army arrived in Bowang Town, the villages they encountered along the way were already empty of houses, and even the door panels were torn down.

Strong walls and clear fields.

The Qing generals in Taiping Prefecture were quite capable, but they were suffering for the people on the front lines...

"Command, attack the city."

Yang Gong was too lazy to waste time here and directly asked Tianlei Battalion and Xianden Battalion to launch a cross charge.

The two battalions joined forces, and the force of the charge was nearly a thousand men.

This Bowang Town is just an ordinary town. There are only a thousand defenders in the town. Not to mention cannons, there are only a few muskets. Especially the defenders are all newly recruited local warriors.

Don't look at the fact that the Qing Dynasty's Governor-General of Liangjiang had an army of nearly 7 troops on paper, only less than the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang in the south.

But in fact, this is close to 7 people. The Eight Banners must be removed first and then evenly divided into three provinces.

After the equalization, there are actually very few Green Camp Qing troops stationed in Anhui, no more than [-] at most. The highest general is Shouchun Town General Soldier, not even an admiral. Jiangxi in the south is also half a pound to eighty liang.

With such a small force, the main force still needs to be stationed in Anqing. Naturally, the forces in other state capitals are not enough, and they can only be supplemented by recruiting troops and training.

Fortunately, the Taiping Prefect still had some brains, and he had enough money and food.

Seeing the Ming army attacking, these brave recruits from the countryside did not run away, but planned to hold on.

The Qing army garrison looked at the thousands of Ming troops charging, raised his hand and ordered: "Archers, prepare!"

Shhhhhhh~
Before the order was given, these brave archers fired their arrows directly.

There was no other way. The recruits had only been trained for a month and had no combat experience. When they were suddenly faced with a battle, they naturally forgot everything when they were nervous.

The shot was quite powerful.

But the strength was of no use, the Ming army hadn't even rushed to the city yet.

Just when the Qing garrison was cursing and ordering the archers to quicken their arrows and prepare for battle at any time.

However, the Ming army suddenly stood up not far from the city, then threw their hands towards the top of the city.

After throwing it, he turned around and ran away.

A set of actions is done in one go.

The Qing guard general reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered: "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows! Let me fire them all..."

Before the word "shoot arrow" could be shouted out, the entire city suddenly exploded.

"Boom boom boom~"

Continuous, one after another explosions filled the city with the light of fire and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke.

Before the general could react, he was blown away from the city by the air flow caused by the explosion next to him.

"Oh!"

The body flew out of the city and landed several meters away.

Just like him, there were many defenders clearing their troops, but some fell outside the city and some fell inside the city.

As for those who were within the local area of ​​the explosion, especially the lucky one who had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to catch the Ming army's grenade hammer, they were killed on the spot.

There is no pain in death.

The hundreds of defenders at the top of the city were wiped out in one fell swoop, and those who were not finished all fled in an instant.

Together with the rest of the garrison in the town, they collapsed.

Yang Gong immediately ordered the army to charge. Within a quarter of an hour, Bowang Town was easily captured.

The Ming army suffered no battle losses.

After capturing Bowang Town, Yang Gong rested here for one day and continued westward the next day.

The villages we passed along the way finally had some people, but not many.

Seeing the Ming army coming, the people in these villages were all frightened. As they returned to the village, they pushed the village chief out to receive him.

Regarding this, Yang Gong was quite depressed. Not to mention the military discipline of the Ming army, just talking about such a small village, what was worth looting? He was not a Qing army, and he wanted to rob property and his head...

Yang Gong didn't bother to explain to these ignorant people. After all, they were all stereotypes caused by the long-term actions of the government. He dismissed them casually and the army continued to advance westward.They didn't even grab food, door panels, or young people.

Today's Ming army is no longer the same as before. They are all emperors. The semi-rogue bandit model no longer exists.

After another day's march, the army arrived at Xuedian Town.

Xuedian Town did not know the situation in Bowang Town, but was also very brave and planned to hold on.

Scored twice without any surprises.

Ordered.

Charge, stop, throw, run.

All in one go!
Xuedian town fell in one fell swoop.

When Xuedian Town was captured, the Ming army was finally discovered by the Qing army in Taiping Prefecture.

However, it was not Yang Gong's problem, but the fact that Caishiji Ferry had been out of contact for more than two days. The Taiping Prefecture guard was not a low-income person, so he naturally noticed the problem.

As soon as the scouts were released, they were immediately startled.

Taipingfu City.

"What! You said that fake Ming thieves were discovered in Caishiji and Xuedian Town?" The Taiping Mansion guard's face changed greatly.

"My lord, it is absolutely true."

The scout hurriedly answered with his hands raised, his face still filled with fear. If they hadn't scattered and fled, none of them would have been able to come back, and they would have all been left behind by Xuedian's fake scouts.

The prefect of Taiping looked anxious: "General Bao, how could the puppet Ming army come so fast and even lose Caishiji? Where is Master Long's Yangtze River Navy?"

General Bao Shen's face was gloomy: "I'm afraid the navy is already finished. Otherwise, the puppet Ming thief army would not be able to settle down safely in Caishiji."

"What should we do?" Taiping Magistrate was frightened by these words and asked urgently.

General Bao Shen turned around and looked at the rather abstract map displayed in the lobby. After comparing it carefully for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said, "Master Futai, the only plan now is to go out of the city to fight.

As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. We also have [-] soldiers and horses. If we can get out of the city and fight, we can win a battle while its foothold is not stable.

Even if it is just a small victory, it can dampen the vigor of the pseudo-Ming rebels, which will definitely be of great help to us and others in the subsequent defense of the city. "

Taiping Prefect: "This..."

General Bao Shen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "The Puppet Ming Army is coming to attack. After a long journey, they will definitely be trapped and exhausted. Our army is waiting for work at ease and has enough food and pay. If it is a surprise attack, it may not have no chance of winning!"

"The way to use troops is to attack the heart first. If we just insist on defending, over time, the morale of the army will be weakened!"

The Taiping Prefect still felt that it was not reliable: "But after all, our army has many new recruits. Is this strategy of surprise attack too risky?"

But General Bao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. It is the newly recruited soldiers who have no fear of false rebels. If they are veterans, they will inevitably cheat and cheat, and it will be difficult to win!" "

After hearing this, the prefect of Taiping paced around and hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "In this matter of military battle, no scholar in my office can compare with Bao Shenjiang. Since Bao Shenjiang is already well-prepared, then I will entrust everything to this battle." Bao Shenjiang is here.

We will set up a celebration banquet for you and others in the city, and we will wait for General Bao Shen to return triumphantly with his army! "

At the end of the sentence, I bowed solemnly.

General Bao Shen also handed over: "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"

After this back and forth, the two of them finalized a plan to go out of the city to fight.

Regardless of tactics, just talking about individuals, one is a general who is not afraid of death and dares to fight, and the other is a civil servant who does not hold back and supports unconditionally.

When these two work together, they will be the pillars of the country at any time.

It's a pity that these two pillars are made of hollow bricks. One of the generals is indeed not afraid of death and dares to fight, but he has never fought a war and can only talk about war on paper. The other prefect is not holding back, but it is better to hold back. .

In ancient times, when defending a city, it was indeed necessary to spread out the troops and fight a battle from time to time, which was inspiring.

But the gap between them will not be so big, and the whole army will not be dispatched, let alone recruits.

This is called a wave battle with the whole army or new soldiers out of the city to face several times the enemy's elite troops.

It can be said to be a sleeping dragon and a phoenix.

　I have to go to work tomorrow, hahahaha, I’m so happy
