No matter whether the recruiters under He Changying were telling the truth or how they were fooling, by this time, the Shanhaiguan Regiment already had more than 2,800 troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And Xu Bangdao has been learning from the anti-Japanese army these days, and even coaxing and deceiving, he has also expanded the team to more than 1,300 people.

These days, He Changying's order is that the soldiers sing military songs, announce military discipline and welfare, read books, and reason while building fortifications.

The book is naturally the book "The Scream", and the truth is naturally the truth derived from this book.

Regarding He Changying's approach, Jia Qisheng also kindly reminded him that there are not many soldiers.

But He Changying doesn't see it that way.

The requirements for soldiers and low-level officers in siege warfare are far less high than those in field warfare, to put it simply, as long as the city gate is blocked, the city wall is not *** surrounded by heavy soldiers, not to mention the recruits in military uniforms, that is, ordinary men and women, dare to take guns on the city wall.

Just like the 'Jiangyin 81st' that gradually disappeared in 250 years, the 240,000 Ming troops under the supervision of the Qing army besieged Jiangyin City with more than 200 cannons.

A total of more than 75,000 people were killed in the battle, and it took 81 days to capture this Jiangnan city, which was not considered a heroic city.

And their opponents are ordinary people of Jiangyin, who are still fighting in the streets even after the fall of the city.

forced the Qing soldiers to set fire to Jiangyin City and attack with fire, only to defeat the Ming people who insisted on street fighting in the city.

And all the common people died generously, and they all died first, and none of them obeyed the violent purity.

In this war, 172,000 Chinese heroes and martyrs were bravely killed inside and outside the city, which was a rich, passionate, passionate and tragic stroke for the full history of China.

"The white bones are all over the field, and the lonely city of ten thousand deaths refuses to surrender. It is sent to passers-by to rest and cover their noses, and the living are not as fragrant as the dead. ”

Although after two hundred and fifty years of deliberate cutting, these Han people dragging pig tails lost too much blood, broke their backbones, and lay on the ground as pigs, dogs, cows and horses of the Eight Banners.

But He Changying believes that since there is hot yellow blood in his body, he doesn't dare to expect them to drag the pig's tail to be as decisive as the martyrs in Jiangyin, and they should always have the courage to stand on the city wall and aim and shoot their guns, right?

If not, then in He Changying's dictionary, there are only three words.

No mercy!

For this team, for this city defense battle that made He Changying extremely depressed, in addition to the bullets and food promised by Tang Renlian, He Changying also transferred a large amount of food and medical supplies from the Jinmen Military Station.

He also ordered the troops to completely seal the gates of the north wing gate with frozen earth bricks, leaving only one south gate.

And inside the south gate, He Changying has also been renovated, and the two sides of the door are built with frozen soil, leaving only a one-meter-six walkway.

In short, He Changying also knows that this battle to defend the city is very difficult to fight, and if it is not good, it will be more than lucky.

For this reason, he passed over the three 'professionals' who were digging tunnels in the large tiled house of the family members who had just been built by the anti-Japanese army by the arsenal of Luo Rongguang's Beiyi Fort.

According to He Changying's request, the three tomb robbers who were 'invited' from the Zhili prison will, with the assistance of two rows of soldiers, quietly dig out two tunnels leading from the city to the outside of the city in Xiluo and the north wing of the city, as the last means of saving the lives of the anti-Japanese army.

These two tunnels, after leaving the city, only extend a distance of about 30 meters to the front, and at the exit, they are bifurcated into two tunnel exits on the left and right.

He Changying led 1,700 anti-Japanese troops to defend the northern wing of the city alone, and Xu Bangdao and Liu Mingyang had a total of 1,900 troops to defend Xiluo City.

As for the independent battalion, He Changying thought twice and let them out.

He needs a 'living son' who is free from the outside world to deal with all kinds of unpredictable situations in the future.

In the depths of He Changying's heart, there was actually a sentence that was not spoken.

Mountains and seas will be broken!

It's just a matter of time.

However, he was willing to take a risk and make some sacrifices, hoping that through his perseverance, he would buy some time for the decaying empire of the Qing Dynasty to transfer troops.

"Am I a saint, so noble?"

Looking at the morning sun, He Changying couldn't help but ask herself, and then shook her head resolutely.

He just didn't want Jinmen and Yanjing to fall, and he didn't want those innocent people to be ruined and displaced.

"If you don't fall, how will China rise? However, I will use my Chinese righteousness to overthrow you, not as disgusting as you, and use the East to calculate the North Ocean; As a result, it's good now, Beiyang is basically down, and your Qing Dynasty is mysterious enough. ”

"Ahh

He Changying sighed with a wry smile on her face: "But it's really hard to keep!" Maybe my life will be explained here, and what future will I talk about? However, if you don't keep it, this Chinese land is our home after all! ”

Standing on the wall of the north wing of the city, He Changying sighed and was depressed.

At noon on the same day, Zhirui led a thousand Rehe training troops to Beijing and met Guangxu.

Guangxu immediately gave him an edict to recruit 20 battalions of the 'Ruiwu Army', and handed over the 3,000 Mauser fast guns that had been escorted to Beijing to Zhirui.

At noon on the same day, Admiral Dong Fuxiang led 8,000 troops of the 18th battalion of the Gan Army and the Horse Division, all the way to the outside of Yanjing City, and entered the Beijing Saint.

Seeing Dong Fuxiang leading the army to come, remembering the burning Guangxu, his heart was a little relieved, and he was happy to see Dong Fuxiang in person and said a lot of words of encouragement.

Dong Fuxiang, who was six years old, was grateful to Dade for the tears on his face, and shouted long live, saying that he would repay him with death, and his liver and brain would be smeared!

Immediately, Guangxu ordered the Gan army to march eastward, garrison Jizhou at the junction of Tianjin and Beijing, and guard the gate of Yanjing.

After Dong Fuxiang received the order to thank him, he did not leave Beijing immediately and led the army straight to Jizhou; Instead, he went to the Summer Palace and visited the Cixi Lafayette who was retired in the garden.

Guangxu then got the news, and he sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, silent for a long time.

This old immortal old witch is really elbowing everywhere, and she is about to fall into the ground, and she still doesn't admit defeat at all!

On January 2nd, Admiral Cheng Wenbing, led a battalion of horses to arrive in Beijing, and about two hundred miles behind him, there were 19 battalions of Anhui army infantry horses, which were rushing around.

Seeing Cheng Wenbing's 10,000 elite soldiers arriving, Guangxu reluctantly relieved himself, and then ordered Cheng Wenbing to garrison Zhangjiawan in the southeast of Tongzhou, by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the water lifeline of the Beijing Division.

At this point, the entire Jinmen, Yanjing, and Shanhaiguan in Zhili, not counting the waste Eight Banners Forbidden Army and the city defense battalion, have concentrated 40,000 training troops.

Moreover, there are nearly 50 battalions and more than 20,000 training troops across the country, who are on their way to the north in a hurry.

If the reinforcements from all walks of life enter Zhili smoothly and on time, plus the new army that Jinmen is recruiting, Yanjing is recruiting, it will not be counted as the Eight Banners Forbidden Army. 、

Just in the three places of Tianjin, Beijing, mountains and seas, the Qing Dynasty concentrated nearly 90,000 troops.

Although I don't dare to talk about a counteroffensive, holding Jinjing is not too much of a problem.

What the Qing Dynasty lacks most now is time, and as for whether this time can be won, the key depends on the mountains and seas.

However, the eyes of the armies of Shanhaiguan were all fixed on the three cities outside the pass.

East Luo, West Luo, North Wing City.

The North Wing City at the head is even more important.

North Wing City,

He Changying!

"He Aiqing is a pillar of the country, loyal and unparalleled, and a peerless general!"

This is Guangxu's face full of excitement.

"It seems that those who can write "Young China Says" have their own barriers in their hearts; Xingsun, if He Changying has any requirements, try to meet him, only if he guards the North Wing City, can he keep the mountains and seas safe. ”

This is Liu Kun's answer with a sigh after being silent for a long time after hearing it.
