I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The news that Hua Jun occupied Xianghe County reached Beijing, and Dorgon began to panic.

He discovered that Xianghe County was too important to himself, and he would cut off the road to Shanhaiguan if he lost Xianghe County.

Those routes that want to rely on Chengde and other directions cannot transfer huge teams.

"Order all the main troops to annihilate this enemy in Xianghe County at all costs. In this battle, kill one enemy and reward five taels of silver, win Xianghe County, and all officials will be promoted two levels."

Up to now, Dorgon can only boost morale at all costs.

There is no way, he needs to return to the outside of the customs to have the hope of a comeback, and he must not be restrained by this unit of the Huajun.

The order was issued, and those diehards started to take action and rushed towards Xianghe County.

As for the retreat of the royal family, no one was in charge at this time.

In the Forbidden City, when the palace learned that Hua Jun had arrived at the base of Beijing, all kinds of chickens and dogs jumped.

Some eunuchs and palace maids began to steal things in the chaos, some slipped out of the palace to escape, and others fell into panic and were at a loss.

Of course, these are the little eunuchs and little palace maids in the periphery.

The maids next to the noble concubine, as well as the eunuchs and eunuchs, were helping to pack and pack.

Although no one has come to inform them when they can retreat, they are already preparing, ready to pick up the package and go on the road at any time.

"Master Fan, can you contact some troops loyal to the emperor and escort us away?"

Xiaozhuang summoned Fan Wencheng urgently, hoping that he could provide some help.

As for Dorgon, she has no hope.

"It's difficult. Almost all the troops now are under the command of the regent. More importantly, Xianghe County is now occupied by the Chinese army, and the road to Shanhaiguan is blocked. If you go to Chengde, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty's body will not be able to bear it."

Fan Wencheng said helplessly, this is the helplessness of Wenchen.

Their power depends on the rule of law.

Once in troubled times, the legal system collapses, and without the troops to listen to them, they will be useless.

When the regime is stable, they have a lot of power. But in this chaotic world, even a small flag can ignore them.

"How can this be, the regent is completely disregarding our life and death."

Xiaozhuang said anxiously.

"Up to now, the queen mother can only wait for the news of the regent's success on the front line with peace of mind. As long as the regent retakes Xianghe County and opens the way to Shanhaiguan, it is still too late to retreat. After all, the main force of the Hua army has not come, and now there is only a lone army. "

By now, Fan Wencheng was too lazy to come up with any more ideas, so he casually said a few words.

Anyway, this is the general trend of the world, and it is not something he can change with one or two strategies.

Seeing Fan Wencheng's perfunctory behavior, Xiaozhuang was really aggrieved and wanted to cry.

In desperation, she could only find her own family and her brother Wu Keshan.

She even started two-handed preparations. On the one hand, Wu Keshan asked Wu Keshan to send someone to protect herself and her son back outside the customs, and on the other hand, she asked Wu Keshan to go to the Huajun army to discuss surrender.

There is still a big difference between voluntarily surrendering and being captured. Xiaozhuang hopes that when the situation is completely hopeless, he can still leave a way back.

Although surrendering voluntarily would destroy the country and lose power, it might even save the lives of the family.

Xianghe County, a place that is usually unknown, has gathered an army of more than 60,000 at this time.

Among them, there are about 15,000 Chinese troops plus green camps, and about 50,000 Qing troops.

In terms of military strength, the Qing army has an absolute advantage.

In terms of weapons, the Qing army also occupied the advantage of artillery. They had a hundred cannons, while the Chinese army did not have one.

Not conducive to maneuvering, all they did not bring.

In addition to artillery, the rest of the weapons are all the advantages of the Chinese army.

In terms of overall strength, the Hua army was no worse than the Qing army.

This can be seen from the ease on Tang Guozhen's face and the solemnity on the faces of Qing army generals such as Dorgon.

"Order to start an uninterrupted general attack from all sides, don't give the enemy any chance to breathe, and take down the city in one go."

Dorgon ordered.

He knew that if he could win Xianghe County, he could only see the first few waves of offensive.

Once the first few waves of offensives are not smooth, the morale of the army will drop sharply, and then it will be even more hopeless.

Therefore, Dorgon did not conduct any temptation as soon as he came up, and directly put on a desperate posture.

Even the ancients did not follow the siege of the three towers, and attacked directly from all sides at the same time, just to exert a little military advantage.

The Chinese army was stationed on three sides of the city wall, each of which could accommodate nearly 5,000 people.

However, there are only 3,000 people stationed on each side of the four city walls, and the difference is quite big.

The artillery in the west was the first to sound, and after a shelling, the Qing troops on all sides began to attack simultaneously.

To the west is the white flag of Dorgon, there are nearly 20,000 people, and there are more than 3,000 flintlock soldiers in the army.

They formed the main force to attack the fortress and pressed against the city wall.

After entering the firing range, the Hua army began to shoot, and the Qing army returned fire not to be outdone.

Relying on this kind of shooting, the Qing army could barely inflict some damage on the Hua army.

However, the Qing army in the other three directions was not so lucky.

They don't have long-range weapons, so they can only use the most primitive siege method, ant attack.

city.

Although they also carried some siege equipment such as building vehicles, they still did not play a role.

In the process of charging, they will be killed and injured a lot.

And when they got to the city, it was the beginning of their nightmare.

In the face of the condescending grenade bombardment of the Chinese army, the Qing army had no temper and no means at all.

Even the Hua army would have a headache when facing the enemy with grenades when attacking the city, not to mention the poorly equipped Qing army.

The grenade was a one-sided slaughter for them.

In the first wave of the offensive, the Qing troops on the other three walls were fast in advancing and retreating fast.

No way, the front-line troops really can't stand the situation where they can only be beaten.

Now, they can only hope that the Qing army in the west can open up the situation.

At this time, in the west, the Qing army was not feeling well either.

They can barely hit a dozen when they are shooting from a distance, but once they try to attack the city wall, they also encounter the same situation.

Although some of them were also equipped with grenades, the number was far inferior to that of the Hua Army.

Moreover, Huajun also occupied the geographical advantage of defending the city.

This kind of advantage is extremely rare in the Huajun's combat history. They have always taken the initiative to attack and will suffer from a disadvantage in terms of geographical location.

And now, it was finally their turn to occupy the city wall defense, they only had one word in their hearts, that is cool.

"It's still cool to defend the city. I feel that as long as there are enough grenades and bullets, it is impossible for the enemy to break through the city wall."

The front-line Chinese soldiers are extremely optimistic at this time.
