Chapter 136 mobilization of generals

"Dad Da Da Da"

"Quick march, no delay, violators will be killed!"

"Wu Sangui, you lead the former army to Zhengzhou first, and then I will arrive." Azigra said loudly to Wu Sangui, who was not far away.

Although Wu Sangui is also a king now, he, the king who surrendered to the Han family, naturally can't be compared with Azig, the guard.

"Here we have arrived at Runingfu [the area of Jinxinyang and Zhumadian], which is not far from Zhengzhou. It only takes a day to transfer to Zhengzhou to Hu Prison."

"Now Li Zicheng has been defeated, and the so-called Dashun has also perished. Waiting for me to destroy Liu Xia, and then go south to break through Nanjing. This great mountain and river is my Qing Dynasty. Hahahahaha"

"What the prince said was that this dog was incompetent and was destroyed by the heavenly court. It is reasonable for me that the Qing Dynasty walked for heaven and destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The vigorous all-black-haired war horse sat on the three armies crying and angry Wu Sangui, who was a beauty. Wu Sangui has been awarded the title of King of Pingxi since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Then he followed Azige, Prince of the Qing Dynasty, to fight in the Han Dynasty. He kept going south, closely chasing the Dashun army and chasing Li Zicheng in a embarrassment.

"The fifteenth brother is really true. A little Liu Xia can't handle it. Now he has occupied Luoyang and made it bigger. Now is the fourteenth brother asking the fifteenth brother to fight against Liu Xia again?

Seeing that Azig asked himself, Shang Ke said happily, "It was Prince Yu who went to fight against Liu Xia. The regent asked us to meet in Zhengzhou, and the two armies attacked Liu Xia together. At the same time, on the other side of Shaanxi, Dorgan, the regent of Manchu Qing Dynasty, ordered Wang Wenkui, the governor of Shaanxi, to gather the surrenders in Shaanxi to go out of Tongguan in the west to attack Luoyang.

Azig led a large army of more than 50,000 people, and Duoduo led a large army of more than 50,000 people. Wang Wenkui, the governor of Shaanxi, gathered 20,000 generals from Shaanxi, and a total of 120,000 troops attacked Luoyang.

The dispatch of troops by the Qing army was originally expected, but the scale of the Qing army was unexpected. To deal with an army of less than 10,000 people like Liu Xia, 120,000 people were dispatched, which surprised people directly. Many merchants and gentry in Luoyang were no longer optimistic about Liu Xia and fled to other places in the future of the Qing army.

In Luoyang City, Liu Xia, Chen Liu, Meng Yu, Wang Xiaotong, Wang En and other generals in Luoyang City are now gathered together. Those scholars who used to have molesed Nanming officials have been secretly killed, and those who should not have been killed have been locked up. Then Liu Xia quickly transferred some manpower from the lower level to replace them.

Among them, Huang Luyuan, the deputy trial of the Supreme Court, had already died in prison. His position was replaced by Bao Tiangong in the trial of Luoyang Court. Although Finance Deputy Finance Minister Qian Taiduo did not have an affair, he did not make a clear refusal and did not report to Liu Xia, so now Liu Xia is locked in a dark room, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go out in this life. There are still some people left, but most of them don't have much official positions, and Liu Xia didn't arrange it herself.

Meng Yu, the commander of the Dragon Group, had submitted all the information about the Manqing to Liu Xia. At this time, these people in the room were the highest figures in Luoyang City.

Liu Xia said, "Now that more than 100,000 people have raised troops to attack me. I really think highly of me!" Before, when the Qing army and the Ming army fought, the number of the Qing army was often dozens of times less than that of the Ming army, and it was still the second victory.

It does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the army of the DPRK is poor. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the army of the Ming Dynasty is not bad. It is a collective manifestation of some problems in all aspects, such as problems in the leadership and logistical problems.

You can imagine that a soldier from the Daming Shenji Battalion was preparing to fire on the battlefield, but the fire rope was ignited and the barrel of the gun exploded. Not only can't this soldier fight, but also the soldiers who see next to the soldier are not in the mood to fight. It's strange that they are invincible.

Meng Yu, the commander of the dragon group, said: "The Qing army not only led the 50,000 troops, but also let Azig in the south return to the north. At the same time, it was not very quiet in Shaanxi. Wang Wenkui, the governor of Shaanxi, also led 20,000 troops out of Tongguan at this time. The Qing army attacked from east to west and surrounded us in the Luoyang Plain. There are mountains in the south of Luoyang, the Yellow River in the north, and there are troops on the east and west..."

"Xin'an, Mianchi and other places are outside the Hangu Pass. If they only occupy the defense of Hangu Pass, I'm afraid the area of Xin'an Mianchi will be abandoned. However, I don't want to be the turtle in the urn, it's just a blind defense.

"There are not many soldiers that can be used in Shaanxi, and most of them are the remnants of Li Zicheng. The loyalty to the Qing court is almost zero, and the combat effectiveness of such an army will not be too strong. Therefore, the 20,000 troops are not enough to worry about. What I'm worried about is the 100,000 troops gathered outside the Hu prison.

Wang Xiaotong muttered, "In those years, the 18-way princes gathered together under the Hu prison, and they could not enter for a few months, but they could think about how the Hu prison was a big pass. It is not easy for the Qing army to break through the Tiger Prison. What's more, our artillery battalion has deployed several cannons and a lot of catapults on the Tiger Prison. If the Qing army wants to attack, it will definitely make them pay a heavy price.

After listening to this, Liu Xia thought for a while and said, "Reward the artillery in Luoyang City to Hulao guan, the previously deployed Hangu Pass team, the Hulao Pass team, and Luoyang City team. Nowadays, except for the artillery of Hangu Pass, all the other artillerymen are assisting the tiger prison. Hu Prison Pass is now in the charge of Hu Ben Group. The number of Hu Ben Group is only 2,000, and the number of people is too small.

"The order goes down, and the wolf roar regiment will cross the defense of the Hangu Pass with the eagle camp. Yingyang Camp went to Hanguguan to defend. Although the number of Yingyang Camp is small, its combat effectiveness is absolutely strong.

"It is rumored that Zhang Yuan of the Wolf Roar Regiment ordered Zhang Yuan to lead all the troops of the Wolf Roar Regiment to the east to enter the Hu Prison Pass to assist the Hu Ben Regiment to resist the Qing army. It was rumored that Ma Peng, the lion group, blocked Wang Wenkui from Shaanxi in Mianchi. As for how to block it, he wanted to go by himself. However, my minimum requirement was that Wang Wenkui was not allowed to break through the Hangu Pass. Even if he died in the end, he would defend Hangu for me! Remember to let Ma Peng and Yu Mingjun discuss with each other.

"Yes!" With Liu Xia's orders, the guards of the messenger were very busy.

"New Barracks Zhang Liang!" Liu Xia said coldly.

At this time, Zhang Liang also had a cold face and said with a serious face, "I'm there!"

"How many people are there in the new barracks now?"

Zhang Liang said, "General, there are 5,000 recruits in the new barracks now. Among them, there were 4,000 generals. Those four thousand are elite warriors. Follow the general's orders at any time.

Liu Xia solemnly said, "This time, the new barracks are not separated from other regiments. 2,000 people were first transferred from the new regiment and temporarily organized into the second regiment. Shang Chuang, the deputy commander of the new regiment, went to Hangu. After arriving at the Hangu Pass, it was led by Yu Mingjun. The remaining three thousand recruits are organized into a regiment of recruits. You will lead them to the Tiger Prison Pass. Don't make any mistakes!"

"I obey you!"

"King Stone!"

"My subordinates are!"

"The personal guard regiment left a battalion to guard Luoyang City to prevent some people from taking the opportunity to make trouble, and the rest of the two battalions went to Hulao Pass."

"Yes!"

"Investigate Zhang Wenyuan!"

Zhang Wenyuan is also a soldier, and he will also feel excited about the battle, but he has retired from his military career. It's just common for him to come here for a meeting. He didn't expect Liu Xia to call him.

Zhang Wenyuan shouted, "I'm there!"

"Now most of the troops have been transferred to the front line. There are almost no defenders in the city in the Hu prison, but the public security in the city should be strictly guarded, so your investigation department has an important responsibility. After you go down, all the searchers will manage their respective areas. The searchers can carry ordnance. If they are found to be stubborn People who resist can be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

"Wang En, the logistics department wants to mobilise all the food and fodder to deal with this war. Is there enough food and fodder now?"

Wang En replied thoughtfully for a while, "General, at present, it is enough to support the grain and fodder for three months. Now it is September. The planted grain will not be harvested until next year, but if the expenditure is reduced, it can support it for half a year."

"Half a year? Half a year should be enough."

Ancient wars could not be solved in a few days. Sometimes it may be fought for months or even years.

Wang En continued, "General, I have something else to report."

Liu Xia said, "What's the matter? Come on, let's talk."

Wang En said, "General, there has been progress in the arms department of the military factory."

Liu Xia looked at Wang En doubtfully. Liu Xia knew what the munitions department was doing. That was the place where Liu Xia specialized in the research and development of guns, but it was only a few days after its establishment. Has the front-loaded gun been developed? So he asked, "Have you made a gun?"

Wang En nodded and said respectfully, "Try to the general, the gun has been built. It is a musket gun, but compared with the Ming army's musket gun, it is more stable and the explosion phenomenon is greatly reduced. And the range is longer. And according to the general's drawings, the tatsufire gun mentioned by the general has also made new progress. The craftsmen have been able to make the guns ignite automatically, but they have not been assembled. The stability is not known, but it has been preliminarily designed.

Liu Xia was overjoyed when she heard this. Although the fluff gun was not built, the musket was enough. Although the musket was more restricted, especially on rainy days, it could not shoot. However, this musket is easy to use. Compared with long-range attack weapons such as bows and crossbows, the gun only needs to be touched for a period of time before it can be used on the battlefield. And bows and arrows don't work without years of practice.

"Chen Liu, you send a scout to ask Nanming for help. As for some other things, you can join the military department to discuss and make a plan and give it to me."

"Yes!" Chen Liugong said.

"Wang En, let's go. Let's go to the military factory. I want to see this arsenal. In addition, a large number of craftsmen were mobilized to make arquebuses overnight. However, pay attention to the quality. If there is a large number of explosions in the process of use, you can resign yourself.
