Section 180 Frog Jumping and Fighting - Bloody Battle in Ningbo (1)
Ladies and gentlemen, I have always written by hand and then typed, and this section alone has torn more than 30 pages, but it is a pity that this paper is a miserable word.
Alas! The cavalry ran like an arrow, and where it returned, so the cavalry in each army was a very fierce man. At this time, he saw a protrusion of the omen on the opposite side, and he had no choice but to rush towards the white light. They were greeted by rockets and grenades as dense as locusts.
Lu Qianji squinted his eyes and tried to open his eyes a little from the dazzling white light, but saw that the chariots in the enemy camp had been lined up in a neat formation and his cavalry rushed forward, and the officers and soldiers behind him were stunned for a moment, and then raised their swords and arrows like their main generals, and shouted "kill the enemy......" and rushed forward. Opposite them was a triangular kill area and one hundred and fifty tanks of the North One attack wave.
Jiang Yu, who was already standing at the head of the city, gave an order: "Action." ”
A brilliant salute rose at the head of the city. Yue Xiaofei stood on the high platform on the roof of the command car, saw Lihua and shouted to Xu Liejun behind him: "The city is fighting." "To speed up the first wave of chariots, Jiang Yu and they don't know how long they can support under the counterattack of the Qing army.
Not far from the east gate of Ningbo City is the Fenghua River, and down the river is the confluence of the three rivers of Yuyao River and Yongjiang River. Since ancient times, it has not only been an important transit point for inland and maritime shipping, but also an important distribution center for land transportation. Ningbo City is surrounded by water on all sides, the city wall is strong, strategically speaking, it is the first class town in eastern Zhejiang.
After the Qing soldiers fought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, due to the successive uprisings against the Qing here, this important town of Ningbo focused on strengthening its defense. Not only can it be used as horns with the 6,000 soldiers and horses of Zhenhai and Beilun Fort by the sea, but also Zhang Jie's 5,000 light cavalry is in the center. In order to facilitate the mobilization of soldiers and horses, the houses within 200 meters of the city wall were all demolished, and the neat bluestone avenue under the city wall surrounded the city. The avenue facing the east gate of the city stretches straight into the city of Ningbo.
The Shenzhou army that entered the city did not surprise or create chaos in the city, but set up a solid defensive position at the city gate. Jiang Yu set up a headquarters in the city gate tower that had been controlled, and the commanders of the first battalion were all around him at this moment.
"You four listen, the battle outside the city has just begun, and we don't know when it will end. So I don't expect to get replenishment and reinforcements for quite some time. We were the only ones in the city, so I ordered the 1st and 2nd companies to be mixed with a reconnaissance company to form a reinforced company to occupy the small courtyard of the houses on the edge of the open area in the city, and to form a crossfire with the two platoons of the 3rd company at the city gate. Two platoons of four companies and three companies were mixed with old firearms to guard the city, and the mixed company was used as the general reserve. Paying attention to the construction of fortifications, choosing the commanding heights and establishing contact with the city gates, do you understand? Let's go! ”
Qin Shizhen, Sun Zhixiu and others did not rest because of tonight's night attack. Several people gathered in the brightly lit patrol mansion to drink tea and wait. The Chinese army and heralds went in and out like a stream, constantly bringing back news from all over the place, and constantly carrying orders out. In the past half a year, Qin Shizhen led the Qing army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and also pacified several rebel armies, and he had seen some battles, so he was still able to sit peacefully behind the official case and review the official documents, and several other civil officials were just pacing around the lobby in a panic.
Qin Shizhen raised his eyes and glanced at the appearance of a few and said: "All the lords sit down, what do you think of those subordinates by doing this, and if it is passed out, there is still someone who doesn't speculate, beware of disturbing the morale of the army." Second, you can't afford to wait for the Pharaoh to turn like this, and your head is a little dizzy when you are turned to the Fa like this. ”
Zhu Zhikui and others reacted, if you want to say that this person is not good at economics, and leading troops to fight is even more straw, but this "sycophant skill" is practiced to the peak. As soon as he heard the words of the adult, he was the first to bow down and salute and said: "The lesson of the adult is that in the face of today's great events, the adult is still calm and relaxed, stable as Mount Tai, and he will not be able to catch up with the adult in any way with this bearing and this work of cultivating qi." ”
Although Daotai Sun Xiuzhi and the others scolded harshly in their hearts, they all praised respectfully and respectfully on their faces. For a while, Qin Shizhen's buttocks were sour and comfortable. Just when he was very proud, a herald ignored the obstruction of the soldiers at the gate, and quickly ran into the house to ask Xia An to go and shouted: "Report, Lord Haojiao has learned that Dongmen has fallen into the hands of the enemy for some reason, please make a decision." ”
"Ahh The room full of people gasped at the same time, and everyone was dumbfounded. The siege warfare of this era is to play the city gate and the city wall, once the city gate is lost, it is called "the city is broken", how can the city be broken! When the Qing soldiers invaded the south, they did not pretend to be the surrender of the Ming army to deceive the city gate, and then rushed in and captured a number of big cities. Therefore, once the city gate is lost, the city does not need to be defended.
Daotai Sun Zhixiu was so frightened that he sat on the chair behind him, and Zhu Zhikui was even more ridiculous, sitting on the ground and shaking softly.
Qin Shizhen saw that his subordinates were only like this, so he was so angry that he slapped the table, and was about to reprimand loudly, but he didn't know that his slap had called back the souls of several civil officials who were scared stupid.
Sun Xiuzhi jumped up and bowed to the side and said, "The patrol has lost the east gate, how is this good, please show me." ”
Qin Shizhen was angry in his heart, these people were all indifferent and indifferent on weekdays, as if they were full of economy, who knew that they were all like this when they encountered a little wind and waves, and their contempt was completely written on their faces, and they said in their mouths: "Lord Sun, this official was about to ask you, isn't the East Gate guarded by Lord Daotai's men?" ”
Sun Xiuzhi was shocked, the fright just now almost made him forget about it, but Shangguan made trouble about this matter, and it would be impossible not to deal with it. At the moment, he cleaned his face and calmly reported his fist: "Even so, the lowly duty does not dare to shirk the responsibility of defending the city, and now the lowly duty will go down to order the army and horses to desperately take back the east gate and hand it over to the adults."
Qin Shizhen saw that his expression was so resolute, and he secretly regretted in his heart that he was hurting everyone, and said in a relaxed tone: "Even if it is like this, Lord Laosun will lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go on a journey, and the official will also dispatch the military horses to recapture the east gate with the adults." ”
Sun Xiuzhi looked like a strong man going to the battlefield, hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the lower officials do not live up to the trust of adults, please." ”
After sending Sun Daotai away, Qin Shizhen glanced at the prefect Zhu Zhikui and sighed in his heart: "He is also a civil official, so Sun Daotai is indeed much better than this stupid person." ”
