Chapter 167 The Battle of Mengjin 2

The scouts sent by the Qing army are scattered through the Yellow River this time. After all, if the number of people is large, it is easy to be found, and if they are scattered, it can avoid too many people and easy to be seen. The Qing army seen by the scout was a team of three tazis.

At the urging of the scout, the little scout finally had no choice but to ride his war horse to Mengjin City as fast as possible. He knew what it meant. The Qing army was coming, and the little scout was a little nervous. From the war to now, the Wolf Xiao Group had not participated in the war. For the Wolf Xiao Group, some of its soldiers had not fought. I have fought, I have never been on the battlefield, and they are all pure recruits.

"Drive!"

"Fight away! Get out of the way! Urgent report! Urgent report!"

The little scout soon came to Mengjin City. After entering the city, he shouted and asked the people around him to make way. Now it is snowing heavily and there are few people on the street, so there is no one to block the way for him. However, his shouts attracted many people from the hotel on both sides. Soon he came to Zhang Yuan. The place where it is stationed.

"Report!"

Zhang Yuan heard the high voice of the little scout from afar, and his heart suddenly sank, thinking that he was afraid that the enemy was coming.

Sure enough, the little scout soon came to Zhang Yuan's side and reported to Zhang Yuan what they saw. Zhang Yuan's heart sank after hearing this.

The enemy has 30,000 horses, but he has 2,000. If the Yellow River is usually dangerous, even if they come by boat, it is easy for the defenders, but now the Yellow River is frozen like a flat ground, and it is impossible to keep it.

"You go down and have a rest for a while." Zhang Yuan waved his hand to the little scout. The little scout completed his mission and walked on easily.

"Send the message to the general immediately, saying that the Qing army has reached the north bank of the Yellow River. It is estimated that the enemy will cross the Yellow River tonight or tomorrow morning and arrive in Mengjin. Ask the general for reinforcements."

The guard around him listened and immediately said, "Yes!"

"In addition, under the order, all the soldiers entered the first-class combat state, all the idle soldiers returned to the camp, and sent a large number of scouts to monitor the enemy at the same time. At the same time, a brigade was sent to annihilate all the enemy scouts who crossed the Yellow River. Be sure not to stay."

"Also, inform the Mengjin County magistrate to prepare Huayanchi for defense, and at the same time evacuate the people outside the city, and let the people outside the city temporarily enter the city to hide."

Several guards quickly walked down with Zhang Yuan's order.

In the county magistrate's mansion, Hua Yanchi was reading a book in the study at this time. He is not reading four books and five classics or Confucian classics, but books on civil affairs and law, because he keenly found that if he reads the four books and five classics, his future will certainly not be great. If he reads more books on civil affairs, he will The road must be very broad. After all, with the last experience, Hua Yanchi knows that if he is promoted in the future, he will definitely take books on civil affairs, instead of Confucius, Mencius and other books.

"Sir, sir, a soldier in the army asks for a meeting."

Hua Yanchi was a little surprised, but he remembered what he heard about when he went to Zhang Yuan yesterday, so he panicked and quickly said, "Come on, come on."

The housekeeper listened. Although he didn't know why Hua Yanchi was so excited, he did not ask, but quickly walked out of the study to let the soldier in. After all, as a servant of others, you should have the consciousness of being a servant. The master's mind is not something that you, a servant, can inquire about.

With a sound of messy footsteps, the wooden door of the study was opened again. This time, in addition to the housekeeper, there was also a wolf roar regiment soldier in a neat military uniform.

The soldier bowed to Hua Yanchi, who was sitting on the chair with a book, and said, "By the order of the regimental commander, I will report something to the lord of Zhixian."

After hearing this, Hua Yanchi waved to the housekeeper to let him go down. The housekeeper then closed the door of the study and walked out.

Hua Yanchi said, "But what about the Qing army?" Hua Yanchi said the conjecture in his heart and asked.

The soldier was slightly surprised, but it returned to normal in an instant and said, "Lord Zhixian is right. It's the Qing army's matter. According to the information received by our army, 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing army have arrived along the Yellow River. I'm afraid that they will be able to cross the Yellow River and reach Mengjin tomorrow, so the head of my regiment asked the young one to tell the Lord of Zhixian and let the Lord of Zhixian be prepared for defense.

Hua Yanchi was a little afraid. After all, he was just a literati. Although the Pingbei Army was very powerful, if Meng Jincheng was broken... Hua Yanchi couldn't help but think that his body trembled, but he thought that he was a scholar and should have the style of a gentleman. How could he be afraid to escape? So the heart full of fear calmed down again.

"Go back and report to your regiment leader, and say that this county knows. I will cooperate with your army to prepare for defense.

"Yes! The little one left first. After saying that, the soldier left in a hurry.

The news of the arrival of the Qing army soon came from Mengjin City. The people became nervous one after another, and many people were ready to go to Luoyang with carriages. After all, Luoyang is the base camp of the Pingbei Army, and they believe that it will be very safe.

In order to stabilize the people, Jiang Xin, the deputy head of the Wolf Xiao Group, and Hua Yanchi, the county magistrate, took to the streets to tell the people that as long as they work together, they will definitely drive the enemy away, and Liu Xia's reinforcements are on the way. As long as they hold back the Qing army for a while, they will be safe.

Now the main force of the Pingbei Army is in Hulao guan. Except for the strength of a regiment in Mengjin and a regiment in Hanguguan, other places are in the force vacuum zone. Even if it escapes to Luoyang, it is not safe. After all, Luoyang only has a battalion.

The war broke out, and the personnel of the arsenal sent another 2,000 guns to Liu Xia. These guns are still fire rope guns, which are obviously not suitable in this snowy weather. Previously, when fighting against the Qing army at Hulao Pass, the 1,000 guns of the Guards of the Guards did also play a good effect, so Liu Xia was also happy to accept these two thousand firearms. However, Liu Xia ordered the personnel of the Arms Department to seize the time to develop a flimplock gun and must be developed as soon as possible.

Liu Xia gave the order to die, and the personnel in the arms department were also busy in an emergency. All of them looked through the books or consulted some craftsmen to find the craftsmanship.

Meng Jin, in addition to the people and horses of a regiment of the wolf roaring regiment, there are also 500 soldiers from the musket camp taken by Liu Xia and Zhang Yuan. These 5,000 musket soldiers are useless now, because it is snowing heavily. Although they do not directly extinguish the fire rope like rain, it also seriously affects the musket. Therefore, those long muskets have become fire sticks and are useless.

This is also the reason why Liu Xia urgently developed a flecter gun. The flecter gun is much better in this regard, and the musket is too restrictive.

At night, none of the people in Mengjin City slept soundly. Some people dreamed that the enemy attacked and came in, and then beheaded them all.

On the other side of the Yellow River, Duoduo is lying in a big tent at this time, and Duoduo is thinking about tomorrow's deployment. Mengjin City is in front of you. After crossing the Yellow River is Mengjin City, and after Mengjin is Luoyang. As long as Luoyang is taken and Luoyang's base camp is destroyed, then the morale of Liu Xia's Pingbei Army will plummet, and it will be easy to break through.

Duoduo couldn't help asking himself, do he still want to slaughter the city this time? After thinking for a while, Duoduo's heart was horizontal and cold. I thought to myself: I must slaughter the city, and I must let people in the world see the end of resisting my Qing Dynasty. I will not only slaughter Meng Jin's Hangou, but also Luoyang's Hangou. I heard that Liu Xia has a lot of beauties. By the way, these beauties can be tasted.

Compared with the people on the south bank of the Yellow River who were worried and afraid to sleep, Duoduo, located on the north bank of the Yellow River, was excited and very happy to lie in his sleep. In his dream, Duoduo dreamed that he took Luoyang City, and then carried out the Luoyang Massacre, wiped out all the Han people, and by the way, he took Liu Xia's several beautiful wives and daughters for himself.

Then his class returned to the court, and then knocked Dorgom down, occupied the beautiful Da Yuer, and left Fulin down, and became the emperor himself.
