Chapter 168 Battle of Mengjin 3
The next day, the snow stopped. In addition to the snowflakes all over the ground, there was also the morning sun that had just showed a glimmer of light. Duoduo woke up all the soldiers before dawn. This time, they had to get up early for a full meal and then cross the Yellow River.
The victory is ahead, and Duoduo has seen the scene after his victory. Beauty, there will be all in the country!
"Let's go!"
With the order of Duoduo, 30,000 troops formed a long snake array and began to advance towards Mengjin on the other side of the Yellow River.
"Your Majesty, the scouts sent out yesterday have lost a lot. I'm afraid that the enemy has already found our existence." A personal guard hurried to Duoduo to report.
Duoduo sneered and said, "Don't worry, even if they know we're coming? Liu Xia's main force is in the tiger prison. There are not many troops here at all. It is impossible to resist us! I just don't know what the situation is like at the Tiger Prison Pass. If the news of our entry into Luoyang comes, I'm afraid that the morale of the soldiers at the Tiger Prison Pass will definitely decline. At that time, the twelve brothers will definitely be able to easily break through the Tiger Prison Pass.
"What the prince said is that if the Luoyang people hear that our Qing army has entered Luoyang, they will definitely panic. I'm afraid that the tiger prison will not break through."
"Hahahaha, well said, well said, I have a lot of rewards!"
An hour later, all the 30,000 horses of the Qing army passed through the Yellow River and entered the land of Mengjin.
When Duoduo ordered the soldiers to move forward again, suddenly there was an explosion from the front, one after another.
"What's going on!" Duoduo asked urgently.
The guard beside him said, "Told back to the prince, it seems to be thundering."
After listening to this, Duoduo hit the guard with a whip and said, "You bastard, can thunder like this? Didn't you hear any screams?"
"Your Majesty, your lord, I know what's wrong. Please calm down, and calm down." The beaten soldier knelt on the cold snow and flattered.
Duo Duo's face was cold and he said, "Dog, why don't you go and see what's going on!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm going, I'm going." After saying that, the personal guard ran to the front army like a rabbit.
At this time, the former army can be said to have turned upside down and suffered heavy damage. Because these Qing troops stepped on the mine, before the remaining Qing troops could react, a row of snow walls 100 meters away from the opposite made a banging sound, and then the brothers around them fell down one after another.
Firearms! The enemy's firearms!"
The guard ran over in a hurry, looked at the progress in a mess, and someone fell down from time to time, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on? What's going on?"
A Qing army beside the guard said timidly, "We, we don't know what's going on, but the ground in front of us can't be stepped on, and it will explode as soon as we step on it. And there are ambushed enemies behind the snow wall. The enemies are shooting at us with muskets.
"Explosion?" The guard was a little disbelieving, but when he saw the big holes blown up on the ground, he still accepted the fact.
"It's not good, enemy attack, enemy attack! I'll report it to the prince quickly. After saying that, the personal guard hurried to Duoduo. At this time, the former army was already in chaos. After all, it was strange that the 30,000 troops were not chaotic in this dark morning.
"The prince is not good, the prince is not good."
Duoduo heard his own guard shouting from afar.
The guard ran to Duoduo and said, "The prince is not good!"
"What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly."
Duoduo seemed a little impatient and hurriedly urged the personal guard.
The personal guard gasped and said, "The prince, the former army encountered an enemy attack, and the enemy attacked us."
"Emy?" Duoduo frowned and said, "How many enemies are there? What is the sound of the explosion? Is it the enemy's artillery?"
The guard shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the explosion was not an artillery, but an explosion on the ground. It was said that the ground would explode as long as it went further. The little one had seen many brothers killed, and there were enemy gunners shooting at us in front of us."
Duoduo actually didn't understand the personal guard's words, but he understood one thing, that is, there was an enemy in front of him, so Duoduo quickly ordered, "Go back, step back!"
Then the 30,000 troops quickly contracted backwards. At this time, the generals of the former army also rode over. Li Yuchun, Gao Qifeng and others came over and bowed to Duoduo and said, "I just knocked on the prince."
Duoduo said coldly, "Get up."
"Thank you, my lord."
"What the hell happened before? Hurry up and talk to me."
Li Yuchun and Gao Qifeng looked at each other, and Li Yuchun said, "Try the prince, I'm afraid we have been mined by the enemy in front of us. If we go directly, we will definitely step on the mine, and there are enemy musketeers lying in front of us. Shoot at us."
Duoduo asked, "Landmine? What is a mine? It's not that Duoduo doesn't know. After all, mines have not appeared for a long time, and it's natural that Duoduo doesn't know.
Li Yuchun explained: "Landmines are saying that bombs are buried in the ground. If people go up, they will detonate the mines. Therefore, our soldiers stepped forward to the ground and exploded. Before us, the enemy had come to this place and sold bombs."
"How about this? If we can't get through, it's useless even if we cross the Yellow River!" A Manchu general beside Duoduo said anxiously.
Duoduo pondered for a while and asked Li Yuchun, "Is this bomb gone after the explosion?"
Li Yuchun said, "The mine can only explode once. If it has exploded and the enemy has not buried it again, it will be gone."
Duoduo shouted, "Okay! Immediately send people to arrest the people around us and let these people explore the way for us. Even if they die, the Han dog people are dead. As long as the warriors of the Qing Dynasty are alive, I would like to see that the Pingbei army, known as the Han army, is watching the people of their own nation die under the mines they have laid. The expression, hahahahaha."
Duoduo laughed, and then the rest of the other Manchu generals also laughed, but for a small number of Han generals, their faces were angry, but they did not dare to attack on the spot.
"What are you still doing here? Go and catch the dog! Didn't you hear what I said?" Dodo's words fell, and the generals also went out, and they had to arrest the Han people.
After a few hours, the generals who arrested the people also came back. More than 2,000 people were arrested from the north bank of the Yellow River. These people were directly driven out of their homes. Therefore, many people were wearing thin clothes at this time, and their frozen lips were purple and trembling all over, but no one cared about them. They will eventually He was killed by a landmine.
"Let's go, hurry up." A Qing army shouted angrily at the people, and then beat down heavily with a whip.
"Your Majesty! The person you want has been arrested."
Duoduo looked at the ruffed Han people and was very happy. He thought to himself, "Well, you Han dogs, even if you are buried with mines, I naturally have a way to solve it.
Thinking of this, Duoduo shouted, "Drive these Han dogs over, and the army will follow!"
"Yes!"
Then two thousand people were driven forward. Without taking many steps, they heard the explosion in front of them.
Those people screamed in fear and wanted to run away from behind, but under the spears and knives of the Qing army, these people had to continue to walk forward.
On the other side of the mine burial, the five hundred musketeers and the soldiers of the wolf roar regiment were furious when they looked at this scene.
"Fad commander, they use the people as shields. What should they do now?"
Zhang Yuan frowned. If he slaughtered the people like this, it would definitely not work. After all, these people did not make any mistakes, but if they did not slaughter these people, it would be impossible for the Qing army to kill them.
What should I do? Zhang Yuan was lost in thought. Seeing that all the mines were about to explode, and more than a thousand people had died. Zhang Yuan was also very anxious.
