When the sky was about to get dark, Lu Hanqiang ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and today's achievement was to fill in the ten sections of the moat, laying the foundation for tomorrow's attack.
After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, the casualty reports of the various departments were summarized, and on this day, the real attack, he killed more than 1,500 spearmen, and the wounded soldiers reached 3,000, fortunately, the loss of the people was not very large, and in the entire process of filling the moat, 300 were killed and nearly 1,000 were wounded.
Lu Hanqiang felt very sad, the original plan was a feint, and he suddenly changed the plan, resulting in insufficient preparation for the real attack, and increased many unnecessary casualties, which was his own responsibility, irresponsible to his brothers, and extremely guilty in his heart.
But at this time, the war is really not swayed by himself, as a commander, the taboo is the mother-in-law, looking ahead, looking at the faces of the civil and military soldiers who are determined to die, Lu Hanqiang is really moved, in fact, whether it is the history of the previous life or the history of the later generations, in the middle of the history of China for the next 5,000 years, in this nation, there is no shortage of men who die generously, there is no lack of heroes and martyrs who are difficult for the country, these 5000 years of great power, in fact, are often ruined, It's all in the hands of the rulers who are high above, and in this ancient country, it is the ruling class that lacks the most blood.
And now I am sad to find that I have become a member of the ruling class, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.
After taking a deep breath, Lu Hanqiang made up his mind: "Okay, tomorrow, let's continue to fight." ” After this half-day war, Tong Tulai really saw the strength of the Fuliao army and saw the huge lethal effect of the hot weapon of the Lu musket on the battlefield.
And what shocked him the most was the spirit of the people who filled the moat.
Tong Tulai has never understood why Lu Hanqiang can make those people so fearless of death, if all the people under Lu Hanqiang's rule are the same as these people, then this new city has absolutely no future.
Not only does this new people have no future, but also the Qing Dynasty has no future.
In the yamen hall of the garrison mansion, Li Guohan was still nesting on the Taishi chair, dangling his feet on the coffee table, looking at Tong Tulai like an ant on a hot pot, grinning loudly, and finally retracted his feet, put the wine glass in his hand on the lower table and said: "My old brother, in fact, things are not as complicated as you think, this kind of offensive and defensive battle is like this, the final result is not that the two sides fight for each other's lives, although our equipment is worse than Lu Luhan, but we occupy the terrain of the tall city wall, I think Lu Hanqiang will still cherish the lives of his soldiers, and what about us" and then laughed: "They are all our minions, rotten lives are worthless, and if they die, they will die, so it depends on who everyone has consumed."
When he said this, Li Guohan looked at Tong Tulai's expression with interest.
Tong Tulai paced in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back, and when he heard Li Guohan's contempt for life, he couldn't help but sigh: "My good brother, you have to know one thing, now under our hands, but all the strong men in our banner, one less killed in battle, brother, you don't know, I don't have a vast population base like Liu Zhiyuan, when the flag was drawn, the emperor divided Xinmin and Beizhen Montenegro into my jurisdiction, and as a result, Beizhen and Montenegro have long fallen into the hands of Lu Hanqiang, In order to keep the new people this time, I did not hesitate to draw three out of the Han people in the jurisdiction of my banner, if I continue to sacrifice like this, even if this war is won, it is I who will be greatly injured. ” When he said this, he took a look at Li Guohan,.
Li Guohan's blue flag, his jurisdiction is in the area north of Shengjing, when the district was divided, under his name, there were nearly 200,000 Han people, and this time he only recruited 20,000 people, and then look at the 20,000 "army" old and old, weak and weak, there is not much strength, it seems that he Li Guohan is taking a group of idlers to eat and drink for nothing here, that is to say, Li Guohan is simply not working hard, at this point Tong Tulai expressed dissatisfaction.
As a result, Li Guohan spread his hands: "My big brother, in fact, you don't need to say that, you also know, I have a different trust from you in front of the emperor, you can expand the army indefinitely, and our emperor will allocate you the corresponding money, food and equipment, and if it is not important for the defense of Xinmin this time, if I dare to exceed the prescribed 7500 more than the required number of soldiers, even if it is one more person, I will be impeached by the Manchu civil and military forces."
Then he sat up straight and said very seriously: "And once I am impeached, the emperor will never protect me, I don't know where I died at that time, then I ask Brother Tong, looking at you and my brother's sake, can you bear to watch my family die?"
Tong Tulai opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Guohan put his legs on the machine again, shrunk his body in the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup that had been drunk, brought it to his mouth, and then said: "Actually, Brother Tong, you should be content, if I didn't control my team within 20,000, that is, within the scope that the emperor can tolerate, this Xinmin can only be supported by your big brother alone." ” Tong Tulai sighed helplessly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different."
This sentence is applicable everywhere, and now these Han people, although they have unlimited scenery, but the Manchu people still despise themselves in their bones, and they are still on guard.
But it's useless to say this now, let's find a way to defend the city, judging from today's actions, Lu Hanqiang is really going to play.
Li Guohan looked at Tong Tulai's appearance, and couldn't help but put the teacup on the small table: "Big brother, don't worry, we are already grasshoppers tied to a rope, we can't run away from you, and of course we can't jump on me, I will work with you to keep this new people." ” With Li Guohan's heart-to-heart assurance, Tong Tulai's heart was somewhat stable, so he consulted seriously: "Then according to your brother, how should we defend this city." ” Li Guohan stood up and said: "Today, Lu Hanqiang is attacking with all his might, and the whole army will be tired, we didn't care about him, and their defense must be very slack, I still have the original intention, sort out the personal soldiers of you and me, use a few thousand people, quietly go out at the north gate, and give Lu Hanqiang's military camp for a while." ” t1706231537:
