late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 495 Skinning the Traitor Alive

The fighting in Lijiabao was fierce, and the Qing army had to make arduous efforts every step forward. The streets and stone houses became battlefields.

At the corner of a street, the Hui Army's Five Whistle and Four Corps, who stood firm at the forefront, fought fiercely with the Qing army under the leadership of the army leader Yin Fengguang!More than 100 people, regardless of men, women, old and young, stick to the simple fortifications made of stones.

The densely packed Qing army rushed towards the position. When the enemy was only 35 meters away from the front of the position, Wen Chengrong threw a grenade, and the returning troops in front were killed immediately.

The veteran soldier Liu Xinyun also jumped into the trenches and swept across the enemy with a big knife, chopping down the Hui army in pieces. These muscular heroes did not give in. They fought brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Hui army, leaving each other behind. Corpses or wounded, their hot blood is steaming in the cold wind. After more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the returning army's corpses were strewn all over the field. The first wave of returning troops were massacred and lost their combat effectiveness.

But then the Hui army launched a Franco cannon from the house, and the fierce artillery fire poured on the position, and more Hui troops rushed towards the position.In the almost crazy counterattack, the Qing army's bullets and grenades were all fired.When the ammunition was exhausted, the food was exhausted, and there was no way out, the Qing army faced the Hui army several times its size with bayonets and carried out hand-to-hand combat with the Hui army who attacked the position.

The two sides immediately scuffled together.With no way out, the Qing army also went crazy, stabbing a Hui army with a bayonet, and was immediately stabbed to death by more Hui troops who rushed up.Soldiers from both sides fought like wild beasts in this small place with flesh and blood!He fought bloody for more than an hour, killing more than 100 returning soldiers, until finally they all sacrificed heroically.With blood and life, the determination to swear to live and die with the battlefield has been realized!

The gunpowder smoke blew away, and the bodies of soldiers killed in battle on both sides lay horizontally on the ground, majestic and majestic!

At another street intersection, Sanwu also faced the same situation as Siwu: densely packed returning troops rushed to the position.Duan Yusheng, the head of the corps, was seriously injured and still endured severe pain, stubbornly persisting in fighting until he was dying.The attacking Hui army found the dying Third Corps Commander, and immediately outflanked him in multiple directions at the same time. When the Hui Army was approaching, the Third Corps Commander Duan Yusheng resolutely fired a grenade and returned with the Hui Army. Beside them were the corpses of seven returned soldiers.After more than an hour of fierce fighting, only veteran Yuan Huagao was left alone, and the rest were all killed.

Yuan Huangao also went all out, and kept throwing grenades one after another at the enemy group. Immediately, a dozen returning troops fell to the front of the position, and were also hit and injured by the returning army's firepower.In the end, the bullets and grenades were all gone, so he used stones to fight against the Hui army, fighting against the group of enemies alone, until the backup troops used howitzers to blow up all the stone houses in front, and it is unknown how many Hui troops were buried in the ruins.Blood was scattered like rain and mist, and the blood of Qing soldiers was left in every street.Because the streets were flat, there were a lot of Qing soldiers rushing in. They were not as sensitive to artillery as the Han soldiers, and they did not organize their battle formations.

Suddenly, the Hui army launched two dark Francois cannons from both sides of the street, and the distance between the two sides was only a few dozen steps. Almost all the artillery shells pierced the Qing army's soldiers from front to back, and many shells bombarded the rear. A large cloud of smoke and dust was stirred up on the low wall.

It was too late for chieftain Mo Baoguo to arrive, and more than 30 soldiers died on the street.When Barter Li Ziying arrived with a howitzer, he saw that the soldiers were still shooting at the returning army, and he couldn't help but cursed: "Donkey ball, how many times have I told you, organize your formation, and don't show off your talents!" Well, you eat shit."

Mo Baoguo was ashamed and annoyed, he shouted with all his strength: "Dung beetle, I'm just here too, you guys are too excited."

The two scolded and scolded, and soon one by one the firepower points were destroyed by the howitzer. Battelle taught him a lesson: "Donkey ball, you must learn how to cooperate with infantry and artillery. Individual combat is outdated. The enemy has a gun in his hand, so there is no need to compare with anyone else." Good work."

Seeing that the artillery observers only used a few words, the artillerymen wiped out the returning troops around Frangji, and avenged the soldiers. Mo Baoguo finally learned his lesson this time, nodded and bowed: "Battle has you, I know No matter how it is changed in the future, two howitzers will also be assembled."

Battelle curled his lips and said: "You are so rich, don't forget to practice firing cannons, and the decoration will be avoided."

Mo Baoguo's hoarse throat made a strange voice: "Understood, why are you so long-winded."

Although the soldiers were the private property of chieftain Mo Baoguo, it made me feel very sad to reimburse more than [-] sons at once.Learning to fight on the battlefield is the price of blood.In some places, the flying eagle flags of the Hui army are planted, and in some places, the snow mountain lion flags are planted, criss-crossing each other, which shows that the war here is a canine-toothed battle situation.The Qing army adhered to the strategy of advancing layer by layer, not rushing forward, not greedy for merit, and took away the positions of the returning army piece by piece, and the battle flag moved forward, which showed that the Qing army occupied more and more territory.The Hui army can only make the last struggle, and the death is approaching, and the living Hui army fights for honor.

With the sound of artillery, dense gunshots like bursting beans sounded, and the Qing army rushed forward in battle formations, firing guns to clear the way, and howitzers continued to bombard them like a god of death.The Qing army maintained its formation, and many returning troops could not help howling and fleeing. At this time, the sound of passionate war drums sounded, and a large number of ferocious Sichuan soldiers rushed out from all the passages with shining bayonets.These five-year-old and thin-skinned Sichuan rats were no less than the big men in Shandong. They fought hand-to-hand with the Hui army, leaving each other dead or wounded. Their hot blood was steaming in the cold wind.Maybe there are returned troops who can fight with bayonets, but the returned troops are too old and weak. Facing these spearmen and soldiers, they ran away in fear, and then these returned troops were defeated across the board.The spearmen and soldiers of the Sichuan army screamed wildly and held bayonets, killing the fleeing Hui army, regardless of men, women, or children.

In the panic, Tao Maolin, the second head of the Hui army, rolled on the ground, and was caught up, stabbing with knives and guns.Many elders crowded in, armed with sticks and stones, and beat him desperately until he became a pile of rotten flesh.

Mu San cruelly cut off the head of his former brother Tao Maolin, laughing wildly, with this head he can justifiably become a battalion officer.When Li Guolou rushed to the front line, he was catching up with a large number of Qing troops besieging a fortress. The fortress was built of huge stones, and the power of the howitzer was too weak to destroy the fortifications blocked in front of the Qing soldiers.

At this time, the bravery of Huang Dingchuan's army was seen. The soldiers with explosive packs in their hands crawled forward, covered by hundreds of guns behind them.One soldier from the Sichuan army stopped moving, and another soldier rushed up again carrying a pack of explosives. There was one squadron in the death squad, and six soldiers fell to death on the ground, but they still did not rush up the slope. The package is on.

Chuan Shuzi was nimble and fast, and Liu Sheng finally threw the explosives into the fortress of the Hui army, and immediately fled in a diving dive, lying on the ground and not moving.

There was a loud bang, a cloud of smoke filled the sky above the fort, and a strong fort was reimbursed.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Dawazi Yang personally held up a national flag and rushed up the high slope, with blood oozing from his shoulders, even if he was injured, he was reborn from the blood, and the phoenix was reborn.

After being baptized by gunfire, he and the surviving bandits became heroes through the bloody battle in Lijiabao.The Qing government greatly praised and praised the eldest son in the residence newspapers and declarations anyway, portraying him as a model of a prodigal son turning back.

People change, even bandits and hooligans can become the founding emperors!Afterwards, Yang Dawazi restrained the troops and even got rid of the habit of banditry accumulated over the years. His evil deeds had nothing to do with him, and he became the supervisor of Gao Liansheng's battalion.

War is full of strange things, and it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong. Heroes who seize opportunities are heroes, and those who stick to one end will be at a disadvantage.Surrenderers like Yang Dawazi can be found everywhere in the Qing Dynasty, most of them died well, and some even sat in high positions and became the chief soldiers who wielded military power.

Dong Fuxiang, the surrendered general of the Hui people, and Yang Dawazi, a traitor of the Qing army, became the two living signs of the Qing Dynasty's "benevolence, righteousness and generosity", luring more Hui troops to submit to the Qing Dynasty, and as the war progressed, the effect became more and more obvious.

In front of the dilapidated fortress, Li Guolou met the members of the death squad who threw the explosives. The super hero Liu Sheng turned out to be such a small and inconspicuous person.

"Well, well done, amazing. You have a bright future, work hard." Li Guolou shook hands with the death squads one by one, and praised them fiercely.

Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao was clearly outside Lijiabao, but in order to avoid certain taboos, the commander did not enter the fort.Li Guolou was the only senior official to enter the fort, and Li Guolou became the highest-ranking officer in the Qing army by accident.Therefore, when receiving meritorious ministers, it is reasonable for him to praise the group of Qing warriors carrying explosives.But he encountered a huge problem, he has no official hat to reward these heroes.

Anyway, he was rich, and the death squads were given 20 taels of silver regardless of whether they lived or died, and Li Guolou spent 30 taels of silver for the 600-member death squad.After seeing the novelty, Li Guolou ran away in fear, and since it wasn't his army, he spent money wrongly, and no one would remember his kindness.

Afterwards, Li Guolou never saw heroes again. Heroes who are brave on the battlefield are still small people in real life.I can't speak, I don't have culture, I'm an old hat, and I have no future for training.Or those new martial arts students under him are very promising, and they are among the dragons and tigers.It turns out that the death squads are all waste utilization, so learn from them!

Li Guolou almost didn't laugh, he learned another trick. In the future, he will train people with no future to be death squads, which means spending a lot of money, and fighting is burning money.For a person like him who does not want to make a fortune for the country, he must accumulate a rich family background before he dares to pull out a team to fight.

"Catch Cao Kezhong!" "Catch Cao Kezhong!" The officers and soldiers on the street kept shouting excitedly.

Hearing that the leader of the rebel army had been arrested, Li Guolou stopped in his tracks, he should be rewarded!He said happily: "Let's go! Two chieftains, let's take a look together. Deputy Commander Xu said to kill this traitor himself."

Mo Baoguo, chieftain of the Cubing army, glared at him, and said angrily, "How can I do that? So many of my sons have died, I will take Cao Kezhong's skin!"

Li Guolou glanced in horror and said, "Toast Mo, do you still have this skill?"

"Of course, it has been passed down from the ancestors. I will send you a copper drum with human skin worth a thousand taels." Mo Baoguo said as he walked, deliberately walking quickly, with a vigorous and resolute style, just wanting to act first and strip Cao Kezhong himself human skin.

Li Guolou was terrified, and his back felt chilly. Seeing the two chieftains striding away, he knew what the final outcome would be.He actually has no right to speak here, others are just being polite to him.The two chieftains are loyal and patriotic, and they come to serve the country for free. Even the deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao has to be polite to them, how can they not give them face?Cao Kezhong's living skin was about to be peeled off immediately.

On the third floor and the third floor, Yang Dawazi and He Mingtang personally escorted Cao Kezhong, who was tied up, and stood on a stone mill for the Qing army to visit.Or does my family know where Cao Kezhong's lair is?Cao Kezhong, who was hiding in the vegetable cellar, was captured by Yang Dawazi's men.

Amidst the noise, Li Guolou squeezed in and asked suspiciously, "Dark Yang, how did you catch him? Doesn't Cao Kezhong even have the courage to commit suicide?"

He Mingtang laughed loudly and said: "Lord Li, it's funny to say that Cao Kezhong was arrested by his four little girls, Hua Mulan."

The surrounding Qing soldiers roared with laughter, looking at Cao Kezhong with a bruised nose and swollen face with dirty expressions. It turned out that Cao Kezhong was beaten like this by his own woman.Those who bully women will be severely retaliated by women.

Li Guolou was run over by Dawazi Yang, who gave him a reward of 500 taels, and left with a smile and shook his head.The next scene was too cruel. Chieftain Peng Dingyue and Chieftain Mo Baoguo didn't even ask Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao to flay people alive on the street. He is a civil servant, so he is not suitable to watch this scene.

The last strong fortress was breached by the Qing army. A landlord’s house in Lijiabao became the garrison of Li Ziying. Li Guolou did not visit the situation of the Qing army’s capture. He will ask questions, he is an escort appointed by the imperial court, and it is taboo to take a look at him.Maintaining a high-spirited and upright civil official, he slowly grinds and prepares a manuscript, preparing to write a colorful book.

Under the oil lamp, Li Guolou's face was cloudy and uncertain, and the pen in his hand could not be put down. He had experienced the war himself, so he didn't know where to start?

[-]% off "Visiting Lijiabao Great Victory".

Li Guolou wrote in the compromise: "Under the personal command of the deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao, our army broke through Lijiabao in just one day with overwhelming momentum. Achievements..."

Thousands of words are eloquently written, and the battle situation is briefly written aside. The cruel war, vividly on the paper, is just a string of numbers.Thinking of the devastated families in Lijiabao, I felt a pang of sadness in my chest. When will the endless civil war in the Qing Dynasty end?

Sporadic gunshots could be heard faintly, and Li Guolou was not sleepy, lying on the kang with a magnifying glass, looking at Dong Zhiyuan's map.
