Chapter 152 Minxiang War

More than 10,000 people in the Qing Dynasty slowly approached the tiger prison, one-third of which were cavalry, and the rest were infantry. At the front are the Eight Banners Cavalry, who looked powerful one by one.

"Stepping"

The footsteps are getting louder and louder, and the enemy is getting closer and closer. However, the generals on the city tower are not afraid because now Liu Xia is waiting with them on the closed building. With the existence of Liu Xia, they are not afraid!

Above the ancient city wall, a huge brand-new yellow dragon flag with a black background flutters in the wind. This flag not only represents the existence of the Pingbei Army, but also represents the courage of the Pingbei Army to see death and protect its homeland.

"Archer! The musketeers are ready!" The five hundred musketeers have returned to the Tiger Prison Pass. At the same time, 1,000 people in the Guard Regiment are equipped with muskets. The personnel of the munition department are much more powerful than the previous ones according to the gunpowder formula provided by Liu Xia. Natural guns are also much more powerful.

The most important thing is that guns only take a month or less to train and shoot, but it is very difficult for bows and arrows to shoot accurately. It will take two or three years, or even longer.

"When the enemy invaded, he fiercely repelled them! Let these people know that our Pingbei army is not easy to bully!

Azig stopped his army five miles away from the Tiger Prison, and then pushed out dozens of cannons from behind. The dark muzzle was aimed at the Hulaoguan Tower.

"General! They are going to shell us!"

Many generals turned their eyes to Liu Xia. Liu Xia frowned and said, "Wang Xiaotong!"

Before Liu Xia's voice fell, Wang Xiaotong squeezed in from behind the generals and said anxiously to Liu Xia, "General, general, they used the cannon in red, but they couldn't beat it. The range of the cannon was not so far. They should have scared us."

After Wang Xiaotong said that, many people breathed a sigh of relief. After all, more than a dozen cannons bombed the Hu Prison Pass together, and the Hu Prison Pass could not resist no matter how strong it was.

Liu Xia said coldly, "Since they are like this, we can't be beaten so passively. Wang Xiaotong, you pass the order and launch the anti-shooting of half of the cannons on the Hu Prison.

"General, why is it half?"

Liu Xia sneered and said, "How can I not know what Azig is thinking in his head? Is it just to use the attack of cannons to explore the number of artillery in my prison? It's impolite to come and go. Since Azig dares to bomb us, we can't just bear it, but we can't completely expose the bottom, so let's take out half of it first.

After hearing this, the generals suddenly realized that Wang Xiaotong hurried down to prepare. Now there are 40 cannons on the tiger prison, including 20 tiger squatting cannons and 20 red cannons. The tiger squat gun is mainly a short-range attack, while the red cannon is mainly a long-range attack.

The two places aimed the black cannon mouth filled with elixir at the other party at the same time, and only needed to make dozens of shocking sounds to spit out flames and iron eggs.

"Shoot!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Azig's artillery landed heavily hundreds of meters away from the wall of Hulaoguan, blowing up a big hole in the ground. At the same time, the red cannons fired from the Hu prison did not shoot into Azig's camp.

The two armies fired cannons at each other like this, and there was no further action.

At the same time on the same day, in Minxiang area.

Wang Wenkui was frowning in the camp. Before, he was going to pull down the two defeated generals and cut them down. However, when he was about to cut, he found that there were not many generals around him. There was no way that he could not lead the army to fight alone, so he exempted the two generals from the death penalty, but he could not escape. Wang Wenkui made the two of them a hundred big boards, which can be regarded as a crime of punishing them for leading the army against the disadvantage.

Now the two still can't get out of bed in the camp, which also aggravates the resentment and anger of the generals against Wang Wenkui.

At this time, Wang Wenkui has been pushed back 30 miles by the soldiers of the Lion Regiment and the New Corps. Also ten miles away from Wang Wenkui is the camp of the Pingbei Army.

When the Pingbei Army fought against 5,000 people in the north and south, hundreds of people were killed or injured, and a total of 3,000 enemy troops were captured. Now the prisoners have been taken to a camp outside Hangu Pass, and the war is not over yet, so these prisoners cannot be treated normally. They have to defect, so everyone is on bracelets and anklets.

These prisoners will enter the new regiment for transformation after the end of the war, and then be assigned to the battalions and regiments to replenish the regiments with new blood.

"Your Excellency, the enemy sent a large number of scouts to hunt down most of the scouts we sent out. We don't know the enemy's movements at all now.

A soldier knelt on the ground with his head down and trembled a little. He did not dare to look at Wang Wenkui at all. You should know that Wang Wenkui was a little dissatisfied with the people in the army, from generals to generals to soldiers who wanted to kill if they wanted to fight. As long as it did not meet his wishes, he could basically be sentenced to death. The soldier knew that his words would definitely not be heard, but he had to report. If he was afraid that he would not report, the death would be even worse when he was found out by Wang Wenkui. He may even involve his family and even be accused of betraying the enemy and the country.

Wang Wenkui's face was black when he heard this, and his anger went straight from the bottom of his heart to his mind, but he thought that there were not many generals around him, and his life now had to rely on the protection of these generals, so Wang Wenkui suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not punish the general, so he waved his hand. "Go down, go down!"

The general did not expect Wang Wenkui to be so talkative today. The hanging heart in his heart finally fell heavily. He bowed to Wang Wenkui and ran out quickly. I'm afraid that if it was a moment late, Wang Wenkui would have to change his attention.

"Well, son of a bitch, when I return to Shaanxi and have someone to protect me, you should also kill you all. One by one, things are not good. If you hadn't destroyed thousands of my army, you wouldn't have fallen and become a defeated army."

Wang Wenkui also imposed all his dissatisfaction on these generals. In Wang Wenkui's opinion, these generals are unwilling to serve him, so they are defeated again and again. They just don't want Wang Wenkui's official position to be promoted again, which is to his Wang Wenkui.

The scouts of the Lion Regiment cleaned the Shaanxi army scouts scattered on the field. After making sure that there was no one, the soldiers of the Lion Regiment and the recruit regiment began to quietly approach the Shaanxi army.

Chen Liu's task for them is to drive Wang Wenkui to a dead end this time, drive Wang Wenkui out of Minhang, fight him until Tongguan is closed, and then I catch the turtle in the urn.

At this time, Wang Wenkui did not know that Tongguan had been broken. If he knew that Tongguan had been lost, Wang Wenkui was definitely stunned, because if Tongguan was lost, he could not go back to Shaanxi. Except for the death of the peaceful Northern Army, it was surrender, but Wang Wenkui did not think about surrender at all. Over.

In a tent near the edge of Wang Wenkui's army, several generals were secretly discussing things.

One of the generals in his forties said, "Wang Wenkui treats our brothers like this. Why do we still work hard for him? Since Wang Wenkui came to Shaanxi, I don't know how many brothers who were born and died before were killed by him in various names. Let's just surrender to the Pingbei Army! After all, the Pingbei Army is also the army of the Han people. There are many troops in the Pingbei Army that have surrendered before, and now they are doing well.

"Alas, let's take a look again. Let's see if the Pingbei Army can resist the attack of Azig and Dodo's 100,000 troops. If Liu Xia can't stop the 100,000 troops at the Tiger Prison Pass, what's the point even if we surrender to Liu Xia? In the end, won't he become a prisoner of the Qing army again? Moreover, and that's 100,000 troops. The army deployed by Liu Xia in Hulaoguan is definitely less than 20,000. It's a little difficult to stop 100,000 troops!"

"What Lao Qiao said is reasonable. If we surrender now, maybe we will become a prisoner of the Qing army in a few days. This time, the Qing army will capture us again. Maybe we will not have the good luck to continue to serve as a general in the army as last time. Maybe the Qing army beheaded us all in anger.

"Yes, we surrender to survive. If we can't survive, why do we surrender?"

"Well, everyone, let's be quiet. Don't be listened to by Wang Wenkui. You should know that in this army, not only our army, but also Wang Wenkui's direct line of 2,000 people."

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside, and the people in the tent suddenly stopped talking.

I only heard from the outside, "General, general, urgent report!"

"Exergency report? Did the Pingbei army attack again? Come in and say it!"

"General, I just got the news that the Pingbei army is only three miles away from our camp. In a moment, the Pingbei army will attack.

"What! Why didn't you report earlier? What kind of food do you eat? Why did you wait until the enemy hit the door to find out!"

The scout was also full of grievance and said, "General, it's not that the little ones don't inquire about the news, but the enemy sent a large number of scouts to kill all the scouts of our army, so we can't find out the specific actions of the Pingbei Army at all."

"What's wrong with this? Come on, blow the horn quickly to welcome the battle! At the same time, at the same time, go to inform Wang Wen... Mr. Governor."

"Yes!"

"Woo-woo~~~"

The horn is flying, and the loess is flying. Thousands of Pingbei troops attacked from afar, and the black military uniforms came like the guards of Death to carry out the Reaper's life.

"The Pingbei Army is coming! The Pingbei Army is coming!"

The barracks shouted from time to time.

"Quick, fast, defend! Don't let them break through the wooden wall!"

"Kill!!!"
