Chapter 508： Rare city defense

The news that the Chinese Army had occupied Xianghe County reached Beijing, and Dorgon began to panic.

He discovered that Xianghe County was too important to his side, and lost Xianghe County and cut off the way to Shanhaiguan.

Those routes that want to rely on Chengde and other directions cannot transfer huge teams.

"Order all the main forces to annihilate this enemy army in Xianghe County at all costs. In this battle, kill one enemy and reward them with five taels of silver, take Xianghe County, and promote all officials to two ranks."

Up to now, Dorgon can only inspire morale at all costs.

There is no way, he needs to return outside the pass to have the hope of a comeback, and he must not be restrained by this unit of the Chinese Army.

The order was issued, and the diehards began to act and rushed towards Xianghe County.

As for the retreat of the royal family, no one was in charge at this time.

In the Forbidden City, the imperial palace learned that the Chinese army had arrived under the city of Beijing, and suddenly all kinds of chickens and dogs jumped.

Some eunuchs and court ladies started stealing things in the mess, some slipped out of the palace and fled, and some panicked, confused and at a loss.

Of course, these are the little eunuchs and little palace ladies from the periphery.

The close-fitting court ladies around the imperial concubines, as well as the confidant eunuchs, are helping to pack and pack their luggage.

Although no one has come to inform them when they can retreat, they are already making preparations, ready to pick up their packages and go on the road at any time.

"Master Fan, can you contact some troops loyal to the emperor and **** us away?"

Xiaozhuang summoned Fan Wencheng urgently, hoping that he could provide some help.

As for Dorgon, she didn't expect it anymore.

"Difficult. Almost all the troops now subordinate to the regent. More importantly, Xianghe County is now occupied by the Chinese Army, and the road to Shanhaiguan is blocked. If you go to Chengde, I am afraid that the body of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will not be able to bear it."

Fan Wencheng said helplessly, this is the helplessness of Wenchen.

Their power depends on the legal system.

When the troubled times came, the legal system collapsed, and without the troops to listen to them, they would be useless.

When the regime is stable, their power is very powerful. But in this chaotic world, even a small flag can ignore them.

"How good is this? The regent is completely disregarding our life and death."

Xiaozhuang said anxiously.

"Up to now, the queen mother can only wait for the regent's victory on the front line. As long as the regent retakes Xianghe County and opens up the road to Shanhaiguan, it is still too late to retreat. After all, the main force of the Chinese army has not come over, now there is only a lone army. "

By now, Fan Wencheng was too lazy to come up with any more ideas, and casually said a few words.

Anyway, this is the general trend of the world, and it is not something he can change with one or two tactics.

Seeing Fan Wencheng's perfunctory, Xiaozhuang really wanted to cry because he was wronged.

In desperation, she could only find her mother's family and her brother Wu Keshan.

She even started two-handed preparations. On the one hand, Wu Keshan sent someone to protect herself and her son to return to the customs, and on the other hand, she asked Wu Keshan to go to the Chinese army to discuss the matter of surrender.

There is still a big difference between taking the initiative to surrender and being captured. Xiaozhuang hopes that when the situation is completely unsuccessful, he can leave a way out.

Although voluntary surrender will perish the country and lose power, it may still save the life of the family.

Xianghe County, this usually little-known place, has gathered more than 60,000 troops at this time.

Among them, the Chinese army and the green camp are about 15 thousand, and the Qing army is about 50,000.

In terms of strength, the Qing army has an absolute advantage.

In terms of weapons, the Qing army also has the advantage of artillery. They have a hundred cannons, while the Chinese army has none.

Not conducive to maneuvering, so they didn't bring it.

In addition to artillery, the remaining weapons are all the advantages of the Chinese army.

In terms of overall strength, the Chinese army is no worse than the Qing army.

This can be seen from the ease on Tang Guozhen's face and the solemnity on the faces of Qing generals such as Dorgon.

"Order an uninterrupted total offensive from all sides, don't give the enemy any chance to breathe, take the city in one breath."

Dorgon ordered.

He knew that whether he could take Xianghe County or not would only depend on the first few waves of offensive.

Once the first few waves of offensives are not smooth, the morale of the army will be greatly reduced, and it will be even more useless.

Therefore, as soon as Dorgon came up, he did not make any temptations, and directly put on a desperate posture.

Even the ancients didn't follow the rule of the three, and attacked directly from all sides at the same time, just to give play to a little strength advantage.

The Chinese army is stationed on three walls, each of which can be deployed with nearly 5,000 people.

But garrisoned on the four walls, each side can only be equipped with more than 3,000 people, the difference is still quite big.

The artillery to the west sounded first, and after a shelling, the Qing troops on all sides began to attack simultaneously.

To the west is the Zhengbai Banner of Dorgon, with nearly 20,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 flintlock soldiers in the army.

They formed the main force to attack the fortifications and pushed towards the city wall.

After entering the firing range, the Chinese army began to shoot, and the Qing army was unwilling to fight back.

Relying on this kind of shooting, the Qing army could barely cause some damage to the Chinese army.

However, the Qing army in the other three directions was not so lucky.

They do not have long-range weapons, and can only use the most primitive siege method, ant-attached siege.

Although they also carried some siege equipment such as locomotives, they still didn't play any role.

In the process of charging, they will suffer a large number of deaths and injuries.

When they reach the city, it is the beginning of their nightmare.

Faced with the condescending grenade bombing by the Chinese army, the Qing army had no temper or a solution.

Even the Chinese army would have a headache when facing an enemy with grenades when attacking the city, let alone the poorly equipped Qing army.

The grenade against them is simply a unilateral slaughter.

In the first wave of offensive, the Qing troops on the other three walls were fast and retreated.

No way, the front-line troops can't stand the situation where they can only be beaten.

Now, they can only hope that the Qing army in the west can open up the situation.

At this time, to the west, the Qing army was not feeling well.

They could barely hit a shot when they were shooting at a distance, but once they tried to attack the city wall, they also encountered the same situation.

Although some of them are also equipped with grenades, after all, the number is far inferior to that of the Chinese Army.

Moreover, the Chinese Army also possessed the geographical advantage of defending the city.

This kind of advantage is extremely rare in the battle history of the Chinese Army. They have always been the ones who actively attacked and suffered a disadvantage in terms of geographical advantages.

And now, it's finally their turn to occupy the wall defense. There is only one word in their hearts, and that is cool.

"It's better to defend the city. I feel that as long as there are enough grenades and bullets, it is impossible for the enemy to break through this city wall."

The Chinese soldiers on the front line are extremely optimistic at this time.
