Tang Guozhen started from Shanhaiguan and pushed along the Liaoning Corridor all the way. There was hardly any decent resistance on the way, and he hit Jinzhou all the way.

As a strategic location, Jinzhou, like Shanhaiguan, once the city wall fell, the Qing army fled.

"This battle is not exciting at all."

The generals of the Hua Jun complained.

It wasn't like a war at all, but an armed parade.

All the way to the parade to finish, there is no obstacle.

"Don't worry, there will be a war soon."

Tang Guozhen held some letters in his hand, and he had met several Manchus before.

These and the letters revealed Dorgon's plans to him.

If it was a person who informed him like this, he would have to wonder if it was a counter-offensive.

However, at the same time, there were three people who reported this, but he really believed the other party's words. Dorgon had completely lost the people's hearts outside the customs.

Tang Guozhen circulated these letters to other generals, and after everyone read it, they immediately applauded.

They hate to go to the enemy the most, and the enemy takes the initiative to come, which is really good.

"This, I'm afraid we need to play and pretend to be fooled to get the other party to take the bait. Otherwise, they may retreat when the situation is not good."

someone said.

A plan is a plan, but a plan does not have to be implemented.

If they stayed in Jinzhou like this, Dorgon would definitely not be stupid to attack the city.

At that time, although it will not suffer, it will not take any advantage, and it will continue to spend energy to pursue Dorgon.

Therefore, if you want Dorgon to take the bait, you actually have to arrange it.

"I'm going to leave two regiments in Jinzhou, and then take the rest towards Shengjing, pretend to be fooled, and induce Dorgon to attack Jinzhou. Then I'll send a fast mobile force back to double-team."

Tang Guozhen said.

It is not easy for them to lure Dorgon to take the bait. At least, Jinzhou can't keep too many people, and Dorgon will be afraid of leaving too much.

But you can't leave too little, lest Dorgon really attack it and burn the food and grass materials.

Before it was changed, it would definitely be impossible to keep more than 2,000 people. After all, Dorgon had 20,000 elites, and 10,000 of them were equipped with flintlock guns.

But now, with machine guns, they can hold back more than 2,000 people.

He was going to leave all the machine guns behind and let Dorgon have a good taste of the machine guns.

"I am willing to stay and defend Jinzhou, but the commander has to leave me a few more machine guns."

Brigade commander Qin She volunteered, but he also thought of going with Tang Guozhen, wanting to use the enemy's unfamiliarity with machine guns to surprise the enemy.

Although they used machine guns to fight Shanhaiguan before, they basically failed to play any role and the enemy was defeated. Dorgon must not know the horror of machine guns for the time being.

Seeing that Tan She took the lead, everyone was a little depressed, and the credit was taken away again.

The difficulty of this task is not high, and Tang Guozhen did not consider it too carefully.

Since Tan She expressed his willingness to do it, he agreed to the other party's invitation to fight.

Then, the specific deployment of the battle.

When will the troops going to Shengjing turn around? All these details need to be calculated and designed.

What they want is not to simply defeat Dorgon, but to eliminate Dorgon in one fell swoop, so that it will save trouble.

After making a plan, they go into action.

The troops going to Shengjing brought enough food, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Jinzhou fell, they could also have enough food to support them returning to Shanhaiguan.

The two sides began to mobilize, and the Qing army was always sending spies to observe the movements of the Hua army.

They are familiar with the terrain of this piece, which is very convenient.

But Hua Jun didn't have to be so troublesome. Someone always tipped them off and reported Dorgon's location.

The other party is so enthusiastic, of course, it is not for nothing.

After they destroy Dorgon, these people who risked their lives to send letters will definitely be able to enjoy some preferential treatment.

Both sides knew the other's position, but Hua Jun knew himself and the enemy, Dorgon only knew the enemy, not himself.

I have an inner ghost on my side, this is really terrible.

When Tang Guozhen's army passed Panjin, Dorgon's army also arrived outside Jinzhou City.

At the moment when Dorgon launched an attack on Jinzhou, a brigade of Tang Guozhen's department, most of which were cavalry troops, began to turn around and rush towards Jinzhou.

The rest of the people also started to turn around.

The cities outside the customs do not need to be in a hurry to capture, as long as Dorgon is eliminated, those places will look down at the wind.

Jinzhou, thanks to the cannons of the Chinese army, has a city wall in a state of collapse.

This is a good thing for Dorgon, after all, he does not carry a cannon.

If the city wall hadn't collapsed, he still needed to find a way to blow up the city gate and the city wall. Now, it was much more convenient.

However, this is actually not a bad thing for Hua Jun.

If they don't deliberately leave some flaws for the Qing army, how could they be foolish enough to attack?

On the ruins, the Chinese army built simple fortifications, mainly building a few fortifications where machine guns could be placed.

Coupled with the machine guns on the city wall, they established a three-dimensional firepower network.

If Dorgon knew the power of machine guns, he would probably prefer to attack the city walls in other directions.

Too bad he didn't know

Dao, so he ordered directly to let the cavalry charge.

With infantry, he was a little reluctant.

After all, the speed of the infantry was slow, and when they rushed to the front of the Chinese army, almost half of them died.

Therefore, Dorgon made the cavalry go to attack the city for the first time, used his speed to get under the city quickly, and then dismounted to kill it.

Although this would cost precious cavalry and warhorses, Dorgon had no choice.

For him, infantry is now invaluable as well. After the population has plummeted, individuals are precious.

The cavalry swarmed to the ruins of the city wall, and then gunshots sounded.

In the sound of gunfire, there are both the sound of rifles and the sound of machine guns.

Dorgon's ears were sharp, and his heart froze when he heard the sound of the machine gun.

He is really afraid of the endless stream of strange things in the Huajun, so once there is a situation in the Huajun that he is not familiar with, he will panic.

Facts have proved that his concern is indeed necessary.

In the muzzle of the machine gun, bullets sprayed at a speed that made the rifle teary.

The current Gatling gun is not very easy to use, it is bulky, slow to transfer, difficult to adjust the muzzle angle, easy to heat the barrel and so on.

If the Qing army used skirmish tactics, the lethality of these machines would not actually be great.

However, today's Qing army is still suffering from unfamiliar losses as before.

They are still using intensive charging, which for Gatlin is simply a delivery.

Those bullets were all sprayed into their charge team.

For a time, people turned their backs.

Soldiers and horses, all shot.
