late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 512 Sneak Attack on Xitaogou

The vanguard battalion of the Qing army was composed of Huizi, and the leader was the bridegroom Wang Huacheng. With a messy beard and unkempt attire, he looked like a defeated army.The sneak attack plan formulated by Li Guolou first had to get past the blockade lines established by Zou Baohe, the sixteenth commander of the Hui army.The team carrying the Chen Zi banner blatantly retreated in the direction of Shishe Town in the rear.

A long line of troops was marching on the high slope of the loess, and the guards of the dark sentries, rangers, and fortresses of the returning army had already seen it, and the news was immediately passed on to the rear.The troops marching in the form of fleeing must be their own people.

A returning army ranger patted his horse to meet him, and asked nervously: "Brothers, the fight started, and you all retreated."

"Stop fucking talking, Chen Shuai is in a bad mood, I want to kill someone, show me the way." Wang Huacheng's ferocious face seemed to be eating people.

"Hurry up, why are you talking like a bitch? Dogs are chasing us from behind, and the brothers have suffered a lot of casualties." Huizi beside him was also cursing, waving his whip, and taught the returned army cavalry who came to question him. . [

Returning Army Rangers wanted to see the situation of the team, but they could only see a group of cavalry around them, all of whom were Muslims. They had no doubts at first, but they never thought that the Qing Army would disguise themselves, so they waved their hands and said in a serious and responsible way: "Follow me!" Let's go, the three sentry posts in front are all brothers from our team. There are Zou Shuai's brigade in Xitaogou, so you can take a rest."

"That's good. After walking such a long distance, the horse can't carry it anymore." Wang Huacheng led the horse and marched on the high slope of the loess. When going up the slope, he had to dismount and walk. The high slope in front of him was the weakness of the cavalry. .If you want to capture Shishe Town, you must first take Xitaogou, which is a canyon sandwiched between two high loess slopes.Attacking a canyon with cavalry seems like a fantasy.Only Li Guolou is so bold, it really hits a rock.

Wang Huacheng had no choice but to risk his life and execute the military order without hesitation.In order to reunify the motherland and make the Qing Dynasty stand on the top of the East again, these Hui people with national consciousness did not hesitate to fight back and smash Ma Zhenghe's dream of dictatorship.The truth is that the more debates become clearer, the Hui people in the Qing army accepted the idea of ​​great power and abandoned the single nationalism. In their minds, the Hui people who wanted to be independent were the enemy, and it was their duty to kill all the enemies.

Is this kind of thinking right or wrong?

Whoever comes to power is right.People cannot compete with the state apparatus, and the probability of success in rebellion is too low. On the road of national independence movement, the vast majority of people become reactionaries.The state regime defines such independent people as reactionaries, but a nation regards these reactionaries as the pioneers of the national movement, tragic heroes, and symbols of indomitability, and has even paid homage to them for thousands of years.Countries and nations can be combined into one, or they can be separated.

Different people, different races, have different requirements, and each has its own reasons.This is doomed that ethnic wars will always break out, and each nation will fight for its own dignity.

The Manchus established the Qing Empire and became the supreme rulers. There were too many fluke factors.And because the killing was too heavy, the massacre of civilians in history was the worst in the founding of the Qing Dynasty. More than 100 years have passed, and the hearts of the people have not yet returned. More than ten years of civil wars have caused the internal conflicts in the Qing Dynasty to erupt like a volcanic eruption. The Han, Miao, and Hui people revolted one after another. The war has not subsided. The Western powers hope to see this scene for as long as possible .

The Western powers were most afraid of the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and turned to them to settle accounts.Therefore, a group of important officials of the Han people who had the idea of ​​national unity stood firmly under the banner of the Yellow Dragon of the Qing Dynasty, and were unwilling to raise the flag to rebel.From the perspective of the Qing army, they are the righteous party, and national interests are above all else. Massacres are the duty of soldiers. As long as the enemy refuses to surrender, the Qing army will not put down their weapons.

The army has blood debts in its hands, especially the war between nations, which is even more tragic.But history is written by the victors, so the military's scandals are covered up.The Qing Dynasty was a regime established by the Manchus. The censors of the Han Dynasty dared to write straight books to record the brutality of the Manchu army.The massacre of civilians is disgraceful, and the brutality of the Qing army is outrageous.

In order to keep the surprise attack secret, the villages passing by along the way did not leave any dogs or dogs, and the Qing army cavalry swept all the way to maintain an efficient marching speed.

Huang Ding, the commander of the Qing army, took the Huizi (Yugu) led by Wang Huacheng as the vanguard, and there were three battalions of cavalry, more than 800 people.The three battalions of the Han army who surrendered followed closely behind. Li Guolou rushed to the ranks of the Han army from his seat in the Chinese army. A member of the elder brother's association, he likes to recognize his elder brother in his bones, and is willing to die for the righteousness of the Lord.Li Guolou was originally a member of the underworld, how could he subdue these duplicitous capitulators?Have a deep understanding.

When Hu Dagui saw Li Guolou coming with a team of Goshha, he was quite moved, and said anxiously: "Mr. Li, this place is too dangerous, and there will be wars at any time. You should stay in the central army."

Li Guolou swung his whip up and walked side by side with the bridle, and said in a pretentious manner: "Officer Hu Ying, we are like sandwiches now, both front and back are enemies, you don't need to worry about me."

"Yes! Chief Li is really predictable. I didn't expect our army to do this when I returned to the army." Hu Dagui bowed and cupped his fists to salute, showing absolute respect to Li Guolou, admiring Li Guolou's thoughtfulness, and hurried on the way all the way , Sure enough, the returned army rangers were deceived, and the small number of returned army rangers along the way were all killed by the Qing army.

Li Guolou didn't move, his expression didn't change, it wasn't time to celebrate the victory yet.The marching team in the wilderness seems to be like a pack of wild wolves. The wild wolves without prey cannot stop. The prey is right in front of them. Only by tearing away delicious food can they survive in the barbaric world.

The Hui army in the Qing army was even more ferocious than the Han army. Just now, they were chatting and laughing with five Hui army rangers. In an instant, the captain Ma Suzhen took out the revolver at his waist and fired the first shot. The Qing army raised their guns and fired, and a volley of guns shot down the five returned army rangers who were leading the way under their horses.

Ma Suzhen's team was used to firing cold shots, and even shot a few more shots at the dead bodies on the ground.Killing people is like playing, and they all look like they are not afraid of anything.In Ma Suzhen's mind, his team is the lone heroes who have gone deep into the tiger's den, and the liberation of the Northwest depends on them, the Hui people with lofty ideals.

These horses are all war horses, and they didn't panic when they heard the gunshots, and they continued to move forward at their original pace.It was quickly captured by the Hui army, and the reins of the five horses were tied to the saddles of the Qing army and became trophies.

Soldiers cleaned the battlefield very clean, even a pair of leather boots. The Qing army took whatever it needed?Five naked corpses were thrown in the grass. [

In order to seize the time, the Qing army did not rest all the way, and rushed westward to Taogou at high speed.The soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion, one man and two horses, rushed back to the army's first line of defense desperately.After climbing over hills and rivers, we arrived not far from Xitaogou in the evening.

The vanguard of the Qing army habitually stopped to rest, feed the horses and drink water, trying to raise their horsepower and prepare for battle.Li Guolou rushed to the forefront and scolded angrily: "Donkey ball, Wang Huacheng, what about people? Who told you to stop? You've reached your door. How can you stop to rest? Get Wang Huacheng for me!" call."

/>

Wang Huacheng rushed over, was scolded by Li Guolou, and immediately understood. He hurriedly organized a team, led more than 800 fake return troops, and went straight to the defense line of Xitaogou.At this time, everyone was beating a small drum in their hearts. If they were found out by the returning army, they would be living targets if they marched like this, and they would be shot at any time.

The advance team was already standing outside the Huijun fortification, waiting to enter Xitaogou. Ma Suzhen first spoke to the Huijun guards.How does the military rely on identification?Even relying on official seals, officials at all levels returning to the army also have official seals.The Qing army had already obtained the pattern of the official seal of the fifth general Chen Lin, and it was not difficult to counterfeit a seal.An imitated order from the Fifth Marshal Chen Lin was handed over to the guards of the returning army.

If you can't tell the truth from the font and the seal, it is true.The general who returned to the army was worried, and asked, "Little brother, where is Shuai Chen?"

Ma Suzhen said casually: "The two marshals are in the back, and they won't be able to make it tonight. Is it Lao Su? You don't know me anymore. We cooperated once two years ago when we were hunting grain, and you even gave me a water bottle." .”

It is precisely because Ma Suzhen knew Su Laoxiu, the defender of Xitaogou, that he became the pioneer. Familiarity is also an advantage, and the Qing army has many resources.When the war machine is turned on, it will operate flexibly, regardless of the will of the highest officer. When the officer gives an order, the subordinates will show their talents and transform strategic ideas into practical actions.

General Su frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered, he chuckled and said, "Oh, it's you, Brother Ma. I thought you were glorious, you're not dead yet."

"I'm a turtle, and I narrowly escaped death again this time." Ma Suzhen walked into Xitaogou with her old friend.A large number of Qing troops followed closely behind the two joking old friends, leading their horses.

Thoughts change with the environment. Anyway, Dache Dawu, who returned from the army, turned his gun to beat his compatriots. Ma Suzhen only thought in his mind whether to spare his old friend?He smiled and said, "General Su, how many people are there?"

"Oh, there is one battalion in the regular army, but through my brother's hard work, it has been expanded into two battalions." General Su looked at his subordinates around him very proudly. Although there were not enough guns, they still had bows, arrows, broadswords, and spears, all of which were neatly equipped. , can completely fight the Qing army.

"General Su is great. Come on, I will support you with twenty guns, and I will keep ten horses for you. How can you be a friend?" Ma Suzhen was very generous, thinking clearly, don't take prisoners, the spoils are still useful.Turning around and looking at the team behind him, more and more Qing troops entered the fort. The cavalry got on their horses and rushed into the distance under the leadership of their respective captains.

General Su pointed suspiciously at the cavalry team who were talking to themselves, and asked, "Brother Ma, what are they doing? They're on the rampage."

There was a wry smile on Ma Suzhen's face, and she sighed: "Su Jianjun, I don't know. It should be Chen Shuai's military order to tell them to go straight to Shishe Town. Leave them alone. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Tell me, what have you been doing for the past two years?"

The two walked side by side, like brothers they hadn't seen for many years, heading towards the command post.

Countless Qing soldiers in disguise passed by, and the guard Su Laoxiu watched a large number of cavalry pass by, guessing the intentions of the two generals, and grunted: "Why don't the two generals rest for a night, Qing It is not an easy task for the army to encircle Xitaogou."

Ma Suzhen was laughing in her stomach, now that the returned army in Xitaogou is already a fish on the plate, and they are about to start a sneak attack and murder, and couldn't help it, she laughed and said: "General Su, don't bother with the people above, what's the matter with them, Who will tell us. Let's have a good chat, how many wives have you married?"

"Hey! At my level, I can only marry two, how dare I violate the military order!" Su Laoxiu thought of the benefits of turning himself into a master, and married the landlord's daughter.

As soon as the words fell, there was a bean-like gunshot from the walls of the fortress. General Su's expression changed, thinking of the Qing army's surprise attack.

Ma Suzhen took out a revolver, aimed at Su Laoxiu's stomach, pulled the trigger, and shot a string of bullets into Su Laoxiu's body. Ma Suzhen still smiled and sighed: "I'm sorry, brother, I will drink this wine in the next life." Wife, I will watch for you, if you sell the brats to others, you will not wrong them."

Blood flowed from Su Laoxiu's mouth, and he wanted to tell "Brother Xiaoma" that he didn't have a child yet, which disappointed Brother Xiaoma, but there was a playful expression on his face, and he fell down slowly.

The Qing army quickly launched a sneak attack in Xitaogou, gunshots rang out, and there were figures of the Qing army in every corner. Fly, the roar is endless.The Hui soldiers in the stockade hid everywhere, and most of them surrendered, throwing out their guns, bows and arrows. [

The Hui army on the wall of the fortress was quickly wiped out, and the Qing army seized all the Franji cannons in good condition. Huang Ding personally led [-] Qing troops to sit in Xitaogou. Block the escape route of the Fifth Marshal Chen Lin and the Seventh Marshal Feng Junfu.

At sunset and dusk, the rays of the sun remained in the blood-colored sky. On the top of the wall of the fortress, Huang Ding looked at the blush with reluctance, and proudly stroked the beard on his upper lip.The perfect plan is half successful, and the next step is to see Li Guolou's performance. I hope that Emperor Guan will bless him and let the Qing army's iron hoofs set foot on the land of Shishe Town.
