late Qing Dynasty arrest

As night falls, tents are erected on the high slopes of the loess. Lanterns are like stars lighting up lights. The end of the Qing army barracks is endless. The officers in each tent in the Qing army barracks are encouraging the morale of the soldiers. The soldiers who are full of food and drink are sharpening their knives and wiping their guns waiting for the dawn.

Dawazi Yang's unit has been on the front line and rested for seven days in Dongyuanpan Township, Dawazi Yang voluntarily asked to go to the front line. If he wants to gain fame and fortune, he must fight with his life. He has never thought of guarding a beacon tower in the future. All his men are desperate. As long as he gives an order, the disciples will risk their lives to climb the top of the city

Although it was time to turn off the lights, none of the soldiers in his camp could sleep

Yang Dawazi bombed to create an anti-time elder brother's club and several rudders united the most. At that time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses made Zuo Zongtang's head burnt. This kid likes to rob women the most. There are a lot of money and women in Lijiabao. As long as you have a life, let Gao Shoubei be your witness tomorrow night."

"It's so troublesome." There is a brother in the dark who seems unwilling. He is still young and doesn't want to get married so early.

"Pa" someone next to him slapped the speaker and Mu San angrily said, "Bastards, we are officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, how can we be irresponsible? The monkey soldiers who pick and choose the chieftain will go as long as they are female.”

There was a burst of laughter in the military tent They are actually bandits Now they have changed their doors and become officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty

Dawazi Yang said loudly: "Gao Defen has taken us in. We are our lord. The best way to repay the lord is to make face for the master. The chieftain's monkey soldiers still want to compete with us. How can I use the fake tricks that I have practiced without fighting?" Let's go up to the top of the city with all our strength than tomorrow, we must plant the military flag before the east gate of the city, and let Deputy Marshal Xu see that we are not only cavalry ascending the city, but also fearless of death. Deputy Marshal Xu will give us the formation of the two battalions next Dong Zhiyuan’s fat meat is our turn, we have the right to speak wherever we go.”

"Damn it!" A group of old men stood up angrily and snuffed out their cigarette butts. They were confident that they would climb to the top of the city tomorrow. The lesson learned is that Guo Baochang's Anhui army went up to Xiao Kongtong in one go, not to mention that they have a strong artillery battalion behind them.

In the dark night, Dawazi Yang’s eyes are shining brightly, the prodigal son wandering all over the world lost his nature and lost his nature, only to realize that it is best to be embraced by the motherland, the days without worries let his mind slow down Tomorrow is the Qing Dynasty At the time of his trial, wash away his shame with blood, plant a flag of glory, and prove to the world that a prodigal son will never change his mind

Ascending the city is technical work, seemingly chaotic, charging into battle, in fact, there are traces to follow. The staff in the Chinese military tent are meticulously doing war deduction.

After more than ten years of experience, the Qing army has already formed a fixed combat mode. When attacking a strong fortress, they use a lot of explosives to blow open the city gate. So this time, the Qing army is also building plank roads and crossing Chencang secretly. On the surface, the Qing army built it outside the city of Lijiabao. In fact, another engineering unit has already dug the tunnel under the gate of Lijiabao.

The name of Sichuan Mouse is not given for nothing. It is too simple to dig a tunnel under the high loess slope. In the middle of the night, I got the news that all the explosives under the east and west gates had been placed in place. Unlike the battle report, many things are military secrets. The battle report will not mention it, just like the war needs. The Qing army can boast of artillery to the sky, and can also bury the merits of engineers. On the surface, the battle of climbing the city is a charge How brave and fearless the soldiers are, secretly there are many arms fighting together

War is an economic account. As the general, you must calculate the most reasonable income and expenditure. If it is not a last resort, the general is unwilling to fight for consumption, so why not do it if you can destroy more enemies and preserve your own strength?

The stone in Xu Zhanbiao's heart fell down, and the officer who looked around laughed and said, "The returning army is bullshit, and they proclaim themselves marshals, generals, and built a fortress on the loess high slope, and the commander dug it down. Tomorrow, we will take Lijiabao in the first battle." Don't give the enemy a chance to kill women and children"

Peng Dingyue, chieftain of the "deling" native soldiers, and Mo Baoguo, chieftain of the Kubing soldiers, were as proud as if Lijiabao was already in their hands

"I'm going to have lunch at Lijiabao at noon." Xu Zhanbiao flicked his sleeves high-spirited and turned around to sleep. He has nothing to worry about. As long as there is a big earthquake at dawn, the walls of Lijiabao will no longer exist. No one can stop the Qing warriors' charge.

In fact, Xu Zhanbiao couldn't sleep even if he was lying on the blanket, but as a coach, he must show fearlessness and make his subordinates feel awe. Lijiabao's defense of the enemy is no longer a concern. The army wanted to use fortresses to restrain the footsteps of the Qing army, wishful thinking

The oil lamp is flickering. Xu Zhanbiao takes out his pocket watch. Inside the cover is a picture of his wife. He misses his family and hopes that this meaningless civil war will end soon.

Li Guolou stayed up all night. He asked Liu Yu, the school officer in charge of engineering in the Xinwutang, and others to check the tunnels and learn how to fight on the battlefield. Tunnel warfare is the best weapon to solve the siege war. Explosives were given to the ones who knocked down the city walls

Li Guolou, who usually loves cleanliness, crawls into the filthy tunnel like a dog. This feeling is weird. In the long tunnel, the distance of more than 1000 meters is full of hands and feet, and he climbs forward bit by bit and finally arrives The huge cavern is surrounded by explosives. There are boxes and boxes of explosives that don’t even need to be opened.

"Oh." With the help of the dim light, Li Guolou could see the layout of the cave clearly. It turned out that the explosives had to be piled up like this to realize the insignificance of human beings.

"Let's go." Liu Yu saw the layout clearly and didn't dare to delay, nodding to the engineer guarding next to pay respect

After staying in the huge cave for more than five minutes, the oil lamp went out. The air in the cave was too thin to light the oil lamp for a long time. Li Guolou and his five men turned around and climbed back.

Liu Yu climbed behind Li Guolou's buttocks. For Li Guolou, there is only admiration. No officer would personally drill a dog hole. This is not a show. No one in the court would know that Li Guolou climbed through the hole and stood next to tens of thousands of catties of explosives. The seemingly short 5 minutes need to endure the atmosphere of death. How much courage and perseverance are needed to learn how to fight on the battlefield? Like Weng Tonghe, who holds the title of principal in Xinwutang After a generation of military leaders personally took risks, Li Guolou's ability was affirmed by everyone

War is a strange thing for everyone, but Li Guolou actually turned the Xinwutang, which was just a war on paper, into a real battlefield drill. After this trip to the Northwest, Liu Yu, like the officers and students of the Xinwutang, learned in the war War feeling has grown they have become a qualified veteran

"Exciting" Li Guolou climbed out of the hole and won everyone's favor with his first sentence. Instead of patting the dust on his body, he habitually took out his pocket watch and looked at it. The long dark night is about to pass.

The bamboo baskets are full of white film, and the huge iron pot has steaming hot broth At that moment, according to military regulations, the soldiers did not say a word, waiting for the moment of eruption in silence

There are also five huge ladders in the long fortifications. Climbing the tall city walls requires not only bamboo ladders but also ladders. This is a necessary weapon for climbing the city in siege warfare.

The military book "Wu Jing Zongyao·Siege Law" written by the official of the Song Dynasty records: "The cloud ladder uses big wood as the bed, and six wheels are placed under the bed, and two ladders are erected on the top. Two ladders are each long. The take-off ladder is above the cloud ladder"

The cloud ladder adopts a folding structure connected by a rotating shaft in the middle, and protective facilities are added at the bottom of the ladder. In addition, there are also various forms of upper city ladders (auxiliary ladders): there are "flying ladders" that are two or three feet long, first through, and double-wheeled. The city is propelled by wheels; there is a "bamboo flying ladder" with a single pole and big bamboo on both sides of the foot to climb it; On the one hand, these improvements further reduce the height of the main ladder before reaching the enemy, increase the stability of the ladder car movement and reduce the possibility of being damaged by the defenders; on the other hand, it is equipped with an upper city that can adapt to various complex conditions. The ladder makes climbing the city to meet the enemy simple and fast

The siege battle is very cumbersome and many emergencies must be considered. Although the explosives have been buried, if the city wall is not blown down, the soldiers still have to climb the top of the city. In addition, copper cannons, howitzers, and mortars need to be dragged up the bamboo ladder at the top of the city to bear it. Without the heavy weight of the cannon, first dragging the cannon up the ladder and then hoisting it to the top of the city with a wheel will shorten the distance. As long as the fortifications on the top of the city are stabilized, the next street battle will be invincible.

Xu Zhanbiao led a group of generals to the entrance of the cave in the east. The north wind blows the endless loess high slopes. The snow-capped lion flag of the Qing Dynasty is planted on the high slopes. The clear dawn brings hope to people. It would be wrong to say that soldiers don’t believe in ghosts and gods. A tribute platform for Guan Gong was placed in front of the generals. Xu Zhanbiao led the generals to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. They chanted and prayed meticulously. Guan Gong was not only the embodiment of loyalty and bravery.

Xu Zhanbiao took over a bamboo tube with Guandi spiritual sticks, and there were a hundred bamboo sticks in it. Holding the bamboo tube in both hands, he kept shaking his mouth and muttered: "God Guan blesses the Qing Dynasty to win this battle."

With a "pop", a bamboo stick fell on the yellow ground. Xu Zhanbiao leaned over to pick it up, squinted his eyelids and said loudly: "July [-] lottery, Zhongping, Xin Jia, Wu Huanxiang, Su Wuhuan Han sign A good voice knows you a thousand miles away, and you want to return to your heart; the embroidered curtain is heavily knotted with mandarin ducks, and the leaves are falling and the evening is cold."

Everyone is still confused. Some people are still bemoaning why it is a Chinese even lottery. It should be a lucky lottery.

Li Guolou raised his eyebrows with joy and said in a high voice: "Good sign, good sign, this is Emperor Guan telling us that Dong Zhiyuan is going to return to the embrace of the motherland. They are all loyal ministers of Xianliang Temple."

"Hahahaha is worthy of saying that Tanhualang's ability to solve the lottery is comparable to that of Su Dongpo." Xu Zhanbiao agrees with Li Guolou's statement and happily puts the bamboo stick back into the bamboo tube. He agrees with Li Guolou's statement very much. The enemy is not dead, there are always hundreds of casualties, Lijiabao has at least three or four thousand defending the enemy, as long as the Qing army has no more than a thousand casualties in this battle, it will be considered a big victory.

All the generals were amazed by the words of the civil servants. A Zhongping sign was signed by Li Guolou, and it immediately became a good thing. Anyway, it was just for peace of mind.

The Qing army is not demanding, everything goes smoothly, the flag is successful, and the horse is successful. The first sound must be perfect. Xu Zhanbiao personally ignites the fuze with a burning incense. The hissing and sparking fuze quickly rushes into the hole, looking forward to the moment when the top of the city shakes and the mountain shakes. Everyone. eyes on Lijiabao

Carrying the hope of the revival of the Qing Dynasty, looking forward to the early reunification of the motherland, will Emperor Guan continue to help the Qing Dynasty? Li Guolou can only feel the ground shaking under his feet.
