late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 510 The Moat of Yongyang City

The Qing army braved artillery fire and dug five ditches to drain the moat of Yongyangfu City. The Qing army in front suppressed the Hui army on the top of the city with artillery fire. The cannons were scattered and scattered, and the Qing army's firepower was fierce. They used powerful artillery fire to suppress the firepower of the returning army. The Qing army in the rear was catching fish and improving their food.Xu Zhanbiao promised not to attack Yongyang Fucheng within three days after returning to the army, but he did not say that he would not make preparations before the battle.

Fifth Marshal Chen Lin and Seventh Marshal Feng Junfu did not go to the top of the city, and the appearance of hot weapons made it easy for the commanders not to take risks.The two looked up at the city wall filled with gunpowder and commanded the returning army to counterattack.This is the time to test the tenacity of the defenders. Although the Qing army fired fiercely and landed on the top of the city as if they had eyes, the Hui army, who was not afraid of death, still hid in the corner of the top of the city, stretched out their guns, and pointed at the ditch diggers. The civilian husband shoots.

No matter how many sharpshooters there were gunners in the Qing army, wherever the gun barrels were exposed on the top of the city, the guns would fall like raindrops.The Qing army used fierce artillery fire to cover the civilian men who were digging ditches, and the Hui army was filled with flesh and blood. Batch after batch of soldiers rushed to the smoky city head.Both sides come and go, testing the quality of will, and neither of them is willing to back down.

The cannon takes one round every half an hour. When the time comes, the cannon needs to cool down, and the folks digging the ditch will step back.The criss-crossing ditches extend from a distance to the bottom of the city. From the top of the city, you can see that there are still patches of soil under the ditches, and the peasants are still digging the soil, and the peasants in the ditches cannot be reached.

Fifth Marshal Chen Lin lurks to the top of the city, holding a binoculars, lying on the top of the city, watching the scene outside the city.In the fields with thousands of ravines, I don't know how many Qing troops are ambushing. [

The Qing Dynasty was rich in manpower. Relying on the harsh military training of the Chu army, the civilians were also trained to be fearless warriors. This war has already evolved into a protracted war of attrition.It is worthwhile to die in many people for the great cause of the nation, let's fight!Kill all the people in Yongyang Fucheng, and see how much power the Qing Army still has to attack?

"Well, the fight was very good. At least a thousand people were killed by the dogs. A moat is nothing. Our city is impenetrable." Fifth Marshal Chen Lin loudly encouraged morale, and the returning troops around were repairing the city wall. The wall was laid with bricks, and the cement workers quickly laid cement to strengthen the city wall.

The emergence of artillery made the city wall vulnerable to a single blow, and the city wall was severely broken, which required constant repairs and continuous reinforcement of the city wall.Sometimes the city wall could not be repaired, and the defenders had to rebuild a wall in the city to keep the Qing army out.The army and the people are united, and a new defense system can be established without overnight.

"Fifth Marshal, didn't you say that there is a three-day truce?"A returning soldier couldn't help asking.

"Now you know that the Qing army is talking shit, don't be afraid, Marshal Ma will come to support us, and eat beef at night." Fifth Marshal Chen Lin gave the soldiers defending the city a hollow gnocchi, and gave it to the appetite How could Marshal Ma come to the front line to die.Looking at the dilapidated city walls, I was a little worried. After only one round of shelling, the top of the city became like this. How much will the Qing army have next?

Chen Lin is a staunch nationalist, willing to shed her blood for the cause of national liberation.But it's not yet the time for righteousness to go to death. Relying on Dong Zhiyuan's terrain, the Hui army will fight a protracted war with the Qing army, and the victory or defeat will not be measured by the gains and losses of a city or a place.The Hui army still has a strategic depth. At worst, it will retreat to Xiaozhou and Jinji Fort. It will not be able to gain a foothold in the northwest.

Although the country of Jeder Shar is an Islamic empire established by foreigners, they have the same beliefs and would rather be a foreign Islamic person than a running dog of the Qing Dynasty.

The resolute Chen Lin walked down from the top of the city, and said worriedly, "Feng Shuai, have you visited the west of the city? What's the Qing army doing there?"

The Seventh Marshal Feng Junfu rushed back and said: "Shuai Chen, the Qing army is still besieging San Que, and only a few cavalry are active in the west of the city. I led the cavalry to rush out, and they ran away, deliberately giving way to me."

"Well, that's good. It shows that Xu Huzi's troops are not enough, and the enemy still wants us to mess up first. Well, the time is almost up, and the enemy's artillery fire is going to show off again. Would you like to let the soldiers in the city avoid it?" Chen Lin counted the time and hesitated whether to continue fighting with the Qing army. The chances of surviving under artillery fire were too small. The first round of artillery fire by the Qing army caused heavy losses to the Hui army. Many people were killed in battle, and Chen Lin couldn't bear it when she watched the wounded being carried down the city one by one.

"Hey, I said that the moat will always be filled by the Qing army. It's not worth the effort at this time. They are civilians, and we are soldiers. Let's dodge the artillery fire." Feng Junfu sighed slightly, artillery battles have their own artillery If you master the laws of warfare and master the laws of artillery warfare, you can save many soldiers from dying.Those civilian husbands outside the city were the bait of the Qing army. Many civilian husbands were Muslims and prisoners of war. If they were killed, they would not even hurt the Qing army.

The second round of artillery battle began, the cannons flew towards the top of the city, roaring everywhere, the Hui army no longer counterattacked, and there was no trace of the Hui army on the top of the city.

The peasants under the city are digging ditches hard, digging soil desperately to survive.Of course, they also had another choice, turning around and facing the swords and guns of the Qing army, and dying in the hands of the Qing army.Now that he has reached this field, if he survives, he can be promoted to a higher level, become a obedient citizen of the Qing Dynasty, and if he behaves well, he can have a wife and even join the Muslim detachment of the Qing army.

These Muslims captured by the Qing army as cannon fodder were working for the Qing army on the front line. There were at least a thousand people working in the field of vision.The surviving young and strong will be taken away by the Qing army's Hui detachment, become glorious Qing soldiers, and turn their guns and fight back to the army.

This is how the Qing army dealt with rebellious ethnic minorities. It was not written in the notebooks, but it was mentioned in the books.The teacher of justice is even better at using this trick, which is what the people want.A general who can only consume his own strength is not a qualified general. War is to fight for consumption, and this kind of thing happens in wars, especially protracted wars.

Seeing the water in the moat flowing out, and the water flowing along the ditch to the distance, the peasants cheered, as if they had won the battle.The huge cheers resounded outside the entire city of Yongyang Mansion, the peasants had a good meal and the capital to survive.

Digging ditches at the risk of death gave the captured Hui army and Hui people a centripetal force, making them feel that they were working for the Qing Dynasty, and that they had severed their ties with the past and lived for two lifetimes.

The commanders of the Qing army were all on the slope, watching this scene, the water flowed to the ditch below the slope, and the soldiers stood in the water and caught fish with nets.It's a funny scene, the front is fighting, and the rear is catching fish. Fighting is just a part of life. If you live, you have to eat. And if you have the opportunity to have a tooth festival, you will not let it go.

Xu Zhanbiao looked at the soldiers covered in mud, laughed a few times, and then left. He didn't come to play, but walked along the ditch to the forward position to observe the defense situation in the north of Yongyangfu City at close range. [

The engineers and soldiers of the Qing army were studying whether it was possible to dig a tunnel in the north of the city. They tried to dig a hole first. Because it had just rained and the water seeped so badly that they couldn't dig it down. The operation ended in failure.

Li Guolou was rather strange and asked, "Deputy Commander Xu, didn't you mean to climb the city wall? Why are you trying to dig a tunnel?"

Xu Zhanbiao touched the slippery soil and said, "Mr. Li, relying on others is a lie. Besides, you can't delay what you should do. Even if it's not useful, you have to act. War is to act together. Where is the breakthrough, until the last moment, no one knows. This is called a military secret, learn it carefully." After speaking, Xu Zhanbiao rubbed his dirty hands on Li Guolou's military uniform, using Li Guolou's military uniform as a rag up.

Li Guolou frowned, disgusted in his heart, seeing Li Ziying wearing a new uniform, the officers were jealous and made him look bad on purpose.Looking at the gloating expressions around him, Li Guolou was quite aggrieved, and sighed: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if it walks higher than the top, people will destroy it. I shouldn't have written any letter of persuasion, let alone A reward of 10 taels of silver is offered, and now it’s a mouse, and it’s not fast if you don’t beat it.”

"Master Li is too worried. I was just joking with you. I invite you to eat grilled fish at noon." Xu Zhanbiao apologized to Li Guolou, but his dirty hands held Li Guolou's hand. It made Li Guolou feel even more uncomfortable.

Why!After a long time, human nature will be exposed. After staying with these Qiu Ba for a long time, they are not afraid that he has a backer.Li Guolou had a wry smile, he was surrounded by military generals, and now he could not drive them away even if he scolded them, and he would come to Li Ziying for a dental festival if he ignored them, and talked about his life with him, as if he, a Tanhualang, could understand everything and be able to guide them to the future.

The friendship between life and death honed on the battlefield made them more casual.Suffering is a blessing, Xu Zhanbiao's move shows that he supports the sneak attack plan he formulated, and at worst it will be like sludge, leaving a mess.If the city of Yongyang was taken down, even if his troops failed in the surprise attack, it would not matter to the overall situation.If he wins, there will be flowers blooming everywhere, and Xu Zhanbiao's spring will come.

Li Guolou wanted to know why Xu Zhanbiao was dissatisfied with him, because he offered a temptation, and it was a temptation that Xu Zhanbiao could not refuse. Until now, he was still thinking about the surprise attack on Shishe Town. The horns are on the tip of the horns.oh!That's not right, it should be called a hero who sees the same thing.

"Hey! Deputy Marshal Xu, it's not important to eat the fish, what matters is how the fish was hooked." Li Guolou looked scheming, and left Xu Zhanbiao with his hands behind his back.

Li Guolou has fantastic ideas that ordinary people don't have. Although most of them are castles in the air, with his ability, the business empire has begun to take shape.In the future, he will hold the hard work of issuing silver dollars and banknotes in the Qing Dynasty, and this country will be his.It still requires hard work. The wind blows to the Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an. It takes a lot of energy for men to play tricks on beautiful men, and it takes a lot of tossing on the bed.It is not shameful to be a face leader, even if it belongs to the third seat, but the most favored face leader, and the full-time face leader of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, is very favored, and the military supplies from all over the country to Li Ziying have never been cut off .It even became a heavy burden, making him unable to stand up forever.

It's been a long time since I touched a woman, Li Guolou's expression became sulky, and he looked like a bitch.

"Mr. Li, miss you girl." Xu Zhanbiao dared to play tricks on Li Guolou, but the others dared not be so direct, calling them brothers and saying that friendship lasts forever.Guo Baochang cast a contemptuous glance, and smiled wickedly.

"Hey! I still like to use a stabbing gun to fight on the battlefield to show my bravery." Li Guolou made a pun, and he is worthy of being the star of the stars.

There were bursts of laughter, some people didn't understand it for a while, and after others laughed, they dragged behind and laughed.They all like to gather around Li Guolou and listen to Li Guolou's speech. There will always be a kind of humorous words that make people laugh, and there are often thought-provoking words that make people feel painful.

Xu Zhanbiao was at a loss, even the figures of Guo Baochang and Huang Ding followed Li Guolou naturally, chatting and laughing together.Such a young literati already has the bearing to respond to everyone, should he trust Li Guolou's words once?

Grandma's Xiong, even the empress dowagers of the two palaces have a lot of trust in Li Guolou, so what else does he care about!There is a [-]% chance of winning the surprise attack, and there is also the possibility of victory.Anyway, just like what Huang Ding said, if you are not successful, you have horse legs, and the worst is to run away with your tail between your legs.Li Guolou will not use explosives and grenades to fight the enemy like Gao Liansheng, and the tragic victory will be avoided.Fighting consumption is still good for the surrender faction, and now there are thousands of Hui compatriots who dare to fight and fight hard on the battlefield.

"Officer Li, come here, don't be angry, I really treat you to grilled fish." Xu Zhanbiao likes Li Guolou sitting beside him, this is his Zhao Zilong, how can he be cold-hearted.
