On the fourth day of the first lunar month, when the sky was just bright, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army began, and 12 3-pounder regimental guns were pushed to the south of the "Guanyin Hall" and less than 300 steps away from the Qing army's position. The reason why stone bullets were used was because the Qing army's firearms battalion relied on the remnants of the Guanyin Hall to build fortifications, and the defenders were squatting behind the fortifications, so they would not be swept away by the iron bullets and lead bullets that bounced up. These shells were all accurate, and the Qing army's position in Guanyintang was splashed with rubble and smoke. From time to time, Qing officers and soldiers were injured by flying stones and let out miserable screams.

But they still held their ground, and there were no signs of confusion. And their artillery counterattack began immediately, and three guns that were almost identical to the 3-pounder bronze regimental guns used by the Ming army were pushed onto the carefully constructed gun emplacements, and then began to fire at the artillery positions of the Ming army.

Qi Yuanbi immediately realized that he had underestimated the firearms battalion of the Qing army! They had apparently also been trained by Western military advisers, and the troops had a strong will to fight, and they were definitely not under the Ming army - this was a matter of course, these were the second and third generations of Manchurian warriors, and their fighting spirit had not yet begun to decline.

In addition, the number of the standing army of the Qing army was very small, and how many people were in the firearms battalion? Of course it was easy to train rigorously.

In contrast, the large Ming army and the new army are inevitably a bit chaotic. Don't look at Emperor Zhu's efforts to train officers over the years, he is also a martial arts hall and a cram school. However, compared to the huge number of hundreds of thousands of people, the excellent officers that can be provided by the lecture hall and cram school are really limited, and a considerable part of them go to artillery, sappers and cavalry (black spearmen), so there are not many excellent officers in the infantry, except for a few elite teams, most of the Ming infantry is also used to fight a war of attrition!

So Qi Yuanbi already knew that Huang Degong's godson couldn't beat Guanyin Hall with a regiment...... But it doesn't matter, Huang Degong takes 8 regiments, just fight the wheel battle, and he can always take down Guanyintang!

Moreover, the Qing army in the Guanyin Hall is just a small fish, and the Qing Emperor in Tianjin is a big whale!

If you can start a battle with Guanyin Hall as the center and crush the main force of the Qing army from Tianjin, then the next step may be to surround Emperor Shunzhi!

Thinking of this, he said loudly to a staff officer beside him: "Send someone to urge Huang Jieshuai and ask him to bring the main force up immediately." We're going to have a big battle between Zhuangqiao Village and Guanyin Hall!

In addition, he sent someone to inform Shi Dashuai, saying that the Qing Dynasty emperor was out of Tianjin...... And the main force of the brigade around him has already attacked! Please march to Tianjin immediately! A man's husband, the achievement of building an immortal world, is at this time! ”

"Whoa!"

......

"The emperor spared his life, the Great Khan spared his life, the slave was confused for a while, and the slave was frightened and confused by the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians......."

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, it was close to noon. Tianjin Wei, the Qing Emperor was among them, and the prince of the Left Wing Central Banner of Horqin was kowtowing to Shunzhi like pounding garlic.

He is miserable now, he has been stripped of his armor and official uniform, and he has been tied up with a lot of flowers, as if he has been beaten, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, and his head is broken, not broken by someone, but kowtowed by himself.

But he can't take care of the headache now, so let's knock hard...... Because if he doesn't knock his head again, it's useless. Emperor Shunzhi has already issued a holy decree, and as soon as three o'clock in the afternoon arrives, he will take out his hand and raise the knife. At that time, his "head" will be a "waste head".

So he had to hurry up and try to save himself. And the only way to save yourself is to kowtow and pretend to be pitiful, and while kowtowing, he also glanced at Wu Keshan, who was standing next to Emperor Shunzhi-brother, help!

Wu Keshan is also in a hurry, now that Bumu Butai is not here, his words as an uncle and father-in-law are not very effective...... And he's not very good at talking! I have to find someone who can talk about this.

Thinking of this, he just stepped on the lobby, why are they stupid and stupid? Where did Sony go?

When he was thinking about Sonny in the middle hall, Sonny actually came, and he came at a trot all the way.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Sonny ran out of breath, beads of sweat on his forehead, "Shi Kefa is probably hooked, Shi Kefa's army is coming to Zhuangqiao Village and Guanyin Hall in the northeast of Cangzhou, and he is about to get into the encirclement we set up for him!" ”

"Really?" Emperor Shunzhi suddenly became excited, "Sony, reliable news?" ”

Sony's "Suo Yuanzhi" is, of course, a guess! Nothing is reliable now, and you can't fight without guessing. Of course, you can't guess out of thin air, that's too unreliable, and you have to have a little bit of intelligence collected from all sides as a basis.

"Suo Yuanzhi" glanced at Manzhu Xili, who was kowtowing, and said to Emperor Shunzhi: "Your Majesty...... If the military situation reported by Heshuo is true, then we should be able to encircle the main force of the Southern Army at this time. According to investigation, Shi Kefa acted with the army, and as long as the main force of the Southern Army was caught, Shi Kefa probably didn't run away. ”

Wu Keshan hurriedly seized the opportunity and asked loudly: "Manzhu Xili, is the military situation you reported true?" ”

It's definitely not true!

How can this be true? When Manzhu Xili ran away from the battlefield, he was completely confused, and he had no direction, and when he ran headlong into Zhuo Butai's firearms battalion, he thought he had met the army of the Ming Dynasty. With all that, can he still know the actual situation on the battlefield?

But he didn't dare to let go of the life-saving straw and not grasp it! So he gritted his teeth and deceived Emperor Shunzhi.

"Your Majesty, the minions really ran headlong into the main force of the Ming army, and the torches they were carrying formed several long dragons, and there were no boundaries, there were always twenty or thirty thousand people, at least twenty or thirty thousand ......"

"Then you can't go wrong!" Emperor Shunzhi nodded his head heavily, and finally showed a little smile on his face, "Okay, most of the time!" Sony, Wu Keshan, how many people do we have on hand to move? ”

Wu Keshan said: "The minions still have 5,000 people on hand who have not moved, and they have also collected some defeated soldiers, and they can make up another 1,500." ”

Sony said: "Your Majesty, there are still 4,000 infantry troops in the Tianjin Acropolis, and hundreds of the emperor's guards. ”

Shunzhi thought for a while, "Gather all the people and horses, and be ready to attack with me at any time!" ”

"Wow!" Sony answered.

Wu Keshan pointed to the kneeling Manzhu Xili and said to Shunzhi: "Your Majesty, why don't you count it as a Manzhu Xili...... Let him be a big soldier, if he can kill a few southern barbarians, it will be better to alleviate a little sins. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, let the minions alleviate their sins a little!" Manzhu Xili was crying and kowtowing, and Shunzhi was a little unbearable to see.

"That's it!" Shunzhi snorted, "Let's spare your life, and follow your brother to prepare to make up for it!" If you don't make a contribution, when you return to Beijing, I will still kill you! ”

Manzhu Xili breathed a sigh of relief, and when he returned to Beijing, he could ask the Queen Mother's sister to come out to save her life......

......

At the same time, Shi Kefa also knew that Emperor Shunzhi had slipped out of Beijing!

This is quite unexpected!

And...... It's also a great opportunity!

After fighting for so many years, Shi Kefa has already beaten you with a full head of these "newborn calves", and sometimes they are very easy to catch - fighting also depends on talent! If you meet a newborn calf like Li Shimin, it will be miserable!

If Shunzhi is just an ordinary calf, then this is an opportunity...... What if you get caught? Even if he can't be caught, it is very advantageous to trap him in Tianjinwei.

Shunzhi is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is surrounded in Tianjin Wei, and the reinforcements from that encirclement point are powerful! The Qing army in Beizhili had to come to save him, and when the time came, they came over one by one and killed them all, so wouldn't the Great Wall be taken immediately?

Thinking of this, Governor Shi immediately said to Tian Qingyi, who was traveling with him: "Commander Tian (the commander is an official rank), how many people can fight Tianjin now?" How many days can the military rations last? ”
