late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 490 Siege of Lijiabao

Li Ziying rested for a whole day, and on the second day, all the troops marched towards Lijiabao in great strength and strength. The high slopes of the loess were long, and various military flags were waving. (.Plain text) The great victory in Xiao Kongtong raised the morale of the Qing army, the drums beat powerfully, and the bugle sound echoed on the loess high slope.The huge cannons above the stretching carriages indicated that the Qing army was strong and had no opponents in field battles. Those returned troops huddled in the fortress were desperately waiting to die.No Hui army could break the battle formation of the Qing army. Now that the Qing army has gone through the baptism of blood and fire, it is fearless of death and marches forward. Looking at the entire East, there is no opponent.

The [-] soldiers of Li Ziying who participated in the Death Squad straddled their horses, waving their blood-stained sabers and cheering with thousands of soldiers. The tall fortress in front of them has a panoramic view, and Lijiabao will surely be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty. The army is destroyed, and no one can stop the pace of national reunification.

Flying eagle flags fluttered on the tall stone walls. Can the eagles flying high really lead the Hui people to fight against the Qing Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and establish a single-ethnic country?

People who say that the Hui people's uprising is just, don't they know what kind of country the Hui people really want?If the local autonomy is given to the Hui people, the next step is to fight for independence, eliminate the Han population, and establish an Islamic kingdom. The Hui people's uprising is not only anti-Qing, but also hostile to the Han people.

Looking at the flying eagle flag, which symbolizes independence, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty showed anger. They wanted to destroy the flag and replant the Yellow Dragon flag on the land of the motherland. The Northwest belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and Xinjiang belongs to In the Qing Dynasty, the motherland will never be allowed to split.

"Yusi Wannian, the great empire of Yadong! In March, the independent flag spreads across the rivers and waves of civilization. Four hundred trillion people and gods, the land is rich in products and products. Unveil the flag of my Huanglong Empire and sing the song of my empire!"

Thousands of soldiers from Li Ziying stood under the banner of Huanglong and sang military songs. They are the soldiers of justice. For the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, they came to the Great Northwest to start a civil war. This war is definitely not what they want to see.But no matter which nation dares to split the motherland, it will be destroyed most mercilessly.This war has nothing to do with nationality or belief, it is only for a unified motherland.Those who betrayed the motherland and colluded with the Russians will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Lijiabao is entirely covered with blue bricks. There are 14 towers built on the whole city wall. There are urns at the east gate and west gate, and there are Qianjin gates, which form a complete defense system with the city wall.On the city wall, you can see dark cannons. As long as the Qing army comes within range, they will fire.Lijiabao is Dong Zhiyuan's east gateway. After occupying Lijiabao, the Qing army can have a bridgehead to attack and tear up the entire defense system of Dong Zhiyuan.

Although the high slopes of the loess in February are still freezing cold, and the ice and snow have not yet melted away, countless soldiers of the Qing Dynasty dug ditches and built fortifications in the cold wind to surround Lijiabao. The fortress built on the high slope could not stop the heroic Qing soldiers. Every Qing soldier believed that as long as the fort was built, the entire fortress of Lijiabao would surely fall apart.

Thousands of kilometers away from the east and west gates of Lijiabao, Qing soldiers and civilians built tall forts.They don't care about the defenders in Lijiabao. The cowardly and cowardly enemies have already blocked the city gate, and they are only waiting for the attack of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. The Hui army and rebels in Lijiabao have no future.

Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao didn't even bother to send a messenger. There was no need to negotiate with the Hui army. Either surrender or die?The Qing Dynasty will never allow another regime to emerge in the country. The so-called righteous national awakening is a slogan that only the Han people can use.

Xu Zhanbiao looked at a flag on the Huan of Lijiabao, and wrote a letter: "Cao".An angry cold snort came out of his nasal cavity, he clenched his fists tightly, and secretly vowed to slaughter Lijiabao to death.

Cao Kezhong was originally the battalion officer of Admiral Lei Zhengwan of Guyuan. He led a battalion of soldiers and horses to "bomb the battalion" on the front line, and then joined the return army of the Fourth Marshal Cui Wei.The rebels in the Qing Dynasty were even more hateful than the Hui army. The prisoners of the Hui army still had a chance to survive.

The humiliation that Cao Kezhong's subordinates caused the Qing Dynasty made Xu Zhanbiao even more furious. Thinking of Yang Dawazi's surrender of more than 400 people, it happened that the two groups of people killed each other, and Yang Dawazi proved that he sincerely joined the Qing Dynasty.

This was a test of the Qing Dynasty for those who surrendered. The expansion of Dong Fuxiang's Dongzi Sanying was based on the consciousness of the Hui people to point the butcher knife at their own nation.Dawazi Yang wants to expand into two battalions, so he has to prove his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty by fighting bloody battles.Xu Zhanbiao said angrily: "Order Yang Dawazi and Mu San's men to attack the west of the city as the first echelon. Tell them to work hard, as long as the military flag is planted on the top of Lijiabao, their first contribution will be theirs."

The herald took the order to go, and the other generals beside him were uncomfortable, and they dared not speak out. The "first achievement" made everyone salivate, and even let a general go, let them go.However, the military orders on the battlefield were like mountains, and Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao's disposal plan made sense.

Chieftain Peng Dingyue and Chieftain Mo Baoguo looked at each other, Peng Dingyue took a step forward understandingly, cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Deputy Marshal Xu, our attack on the east gate of the city should be counted as the first achievement, with the powerful artillery support of Xunzi Battalion , The snow mountain lion flag must be flying over Lijiabao. The sky is a lesson, and the loess is the proof, we are the most loyal servants of the Qing Dynasty, and we are willing to die for the emperor."

Xu Zhanbiao happily helped up the two chieftains of ethnic minorities and praised them greatly.This made Li Guolou who was accompanying him quite curious, and kept looking at the two chieftains.In history, the local soldiers and the soldiers were more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they were once the main force fighting against the Manchus. 200 years have passed, and these two minority armies have become the minions of the Manchus. Shi Dakai, who attacked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, spared no effort and wiped out 30 Taiping Western Expeditionary troops on the banks of the Dadu River.

Now the soldiers and soldiers of the land have come all the way to the Northwest, and they want to drive out the returning army and kill them all.Those who fell into the captives of these two ethnic minorities have been slaves all their lives, and will be no different from pigs and dogs in the future.Minority barbarians like to peel their skins and dig out their hearts. Li Guolou doesn't like to talk about such barbaric behaviors.Even the emperor didn't care about the internal policies of these ethnic minorities, and he was not the savior who liberated the working people, so he couldn't reason with the barbarians.

Li Guolou looked up at the east gate of Lijiabao. The Lijiabao built on the high slope of the loess was so majestic and towering, and he wanted to destroy this historic fortress.History has turned a new page. With new artillery, siege warfare is not just about attacking a city gate, any city wall can become a breakthrough.It doesn't matter how many defending enemies there are in Lijiabao. In front of the powerful artillery, all enemies will be reduced to ashes.

In wars in the past, there was a castle that could be defended, and it could resist for a long time. Nowadays, without strong artillery support, it becomes difficult to defend a castle.The siege of a castle does not require an advantage of several times the number of troops. It only needs to block the enemy's gates, and the enemy's troops will not be able to deploy. It is not advisable to defend the city, especially a castle with no retreat.

Li Guolou couldn't help but think about the fortifications of Tianjin Wei, which is also a city that cannot be defended. In any case, he will not start a war with the Eight-Power Allied Forces in Tianjin.The battle should be launched directly in the suburbs. As long as there is strong financial resources and a strong artillery group is established, no country dares to launch a tough battle with the Qing on land. The artillery and infantry cooperate to fight, which is the future combat mode of the Qing army. , coupled with the unique cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, it would be perfect.

Soldiers are fought, years of fighting have created batch after batch of generals. Zuo Zongtang's Chu army is infinitely better than Li Hongzhang's Huai army, and he understands the importance of army building.Although these armies also smuggled and corrupted, but the money they earned could be used for army building. This army is the hope for the country's revitalization in the future. With the insatiable generals of the Huai army, the Qing Dynasty would be hopeless.

Li Guolou was thinking about messy things by himself, he had no right to be light-hearted, and he was not at all interested in deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao standing in front of the front fortifications to point out the battle plan.The chief is not omnipotent. The commanders and fighters on the front line know how to arrange operations in detail, and the supreme commander only needs to take advantage of the strategic advantages in the layout.

As for the configuration of each gun on the battlefield, how can it be managed?An army cannot be commanded by one person. It takes the collective efforts of all the people to lead an army to victory.Cultivating talents is by no means finding a few people, but a large number of talents that can be used, so that such an army can march forward to victory.

Xun Xi kept nagging, boasting about the configuration of the artillery battalion, boasting that the construction of the artillery battalion had made him work hard and exhausted all he had learned in his life.It was the first time in Xu Zhanbiao's life that he heard that the construction of the artillery battalion required so much attention. He was very interested and asked all kinds of childish questions.

The corner of Li Guolou's mouth twitched slightly, secretly annoyed, without his financial support, how could there be a salvo of artillery, let alone the extension of artillery to establish a safe area.War is burning money. There is no money to fight, and one can only rely on one person to climb the city wall desperately and pave a bloody road with corpses.It was he who saved Xu Zhanbiao's army thousands of deaths, and he was the one who made the most of the siege.

But who is Li Guolou, how can he compete with Xiaoxiao's generation, silence is golden!Standing upright without saying a word, Li Guolou raised his binoculars to look at the top of Lijiabao city thousands of meters away, and he could see someone on the top of the city looking at the fort where they were with binoculars.Li Guolou snorted and sneered three times. Cao Kezhong, Tao Maolin, and Zhang Hua, the three traitors of the Qing Dynasty, were waiting to die. He also wanted to taste what it was like to have his heart cut open.

Also the remnants of the Gelaohui, Yang Dawazi, He Mingtang, and Mu San are much smarter. At the critical moment of life and death, they abandoned their beliefs for many years and returned to the embrace of their motherland.Those who know current affairs are heroes!A person who holds a purpose to death is doomed to be a tragedy in life.

The face of the enemy leader could be vaguely seen through the binoculars. Cao Kezhong really had a ferocious face. There were many beards on that broad face. How long had it been since he shaved?Li Guolou muttered to himself: "Cao Kezhong, don't die, I also want to be a hero of Liangshan."

Next to him, Fan Dahui imitated Li Guolou's appearance, holding his hands behind his back and pretending to be aloof. The silent Fan Dahui was like a roundworm in Li Guolou's stomach, and blurted out: "Master Li, you are a civil servant and the influence is not good. You should not do this kind of thing." Be strict with yourself and be more lenient than others. Witnessing history does not mean participating in it.”

"Hey hey!" Li Guolou laughed three times, turned around, and said impatiently: "Mr. Xun Qian, don't brag, I saved up this property for you, and it will continue to flow." I also sent someone to bring the shells here. You are a prodigal son, if you waste shells like this, how will you fight the next [-] fortresses?"

Xun Xi was very dissatisfied when Li Guolou interrupted the topic, squinted, and retorted without hesitation: "Master Li, don't worry about it, as long as I completely destroy the three fortresses and turn them into ashes, it will be over." Destroyed the enemy's confidence to fight to the end. When the land recovers in spring, the surrender faction will appear continuously. Huizi is by no means monolithic. The eighteen generals will surrender with their buttocks pouted. Wow... ·”

Xun Xi stood with his hands on his hips, and stood in front of a Krupp cannon, looking up to the sky and laughing. His air of giving it up to me is unforgettable. This is the demeanor of a general, and he is worthy of being the artilleryman of the Guoyong Battalion newly appointed by Xu Zhanbiao. The total of thousands of battalions.

Li Guolou touched his nose, and then fell silent again. There was no need to vomit with Xun Xi. From the first day he knew Xun Xi, this person has been so rude. Manchus have their own superiority.

In other things, the Han people have already surpassed the Manchus, and these Han generals usually don't take the Manchus seriously.Only the construction of the artillery battalion was inseparable from the support of the Manchurians. They turned a blind eye to the arrogance of the Manchurians in the artillery battalion, and even laughed at the disrespectful behavior of the officers like Xun Xi.

Xu Zhanbiao stroked the beard on his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun Qian, this commander is very optimistic about your performance. Tomorrow, this commander will see the banner of Huanglong planted on the wall of Lijiabao. Do you have confidence? "

"Yes! If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" All the soldiers on the artillery position stood upright, expressing their indomitable determination to the deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao.

The Qing army has accumulated all its strength to capture Lijiabao, which is Dong Zhiyuan's bridgehead and will open the door to victory for the Qing army.
