late Qing Dynasty arrest

The night covered the land, and the Qing army winding on the high slope of the loess lighted the torches openly and marched along the avenue to Shishe Town. In the vast night of the land, one after another, the fires brought warmth to the world. The cold mist, Invading the skin, making people sneak in anticipation, and it also has a feeling that if you can't do it, you can do it.

Marching on the high slope of the loess, marching on the high slope for a while, and exploring the road at the bottom of the valley for a while, the returning army roaming everywhere could not stop the Qing army from advancing.

"No advance, password." Someone shouted in the darkness.

The Qing army who shouted in front shouted: "We are soldiers and horses of Wushuai Chen Lin. We came back from Yongyangfu City. Haven't you received a military order? We only recognize the banner and don't recognize the password!"

Back to the army's secret sentry to see clearly, a ranger walked out of the darkness, so many cavalry held up their torches, it seemed that they were really the cavalry of the fifth commander Chen Lin. [

"Oh, brothers, why are you rushing back to Shishe Town so late?" The returning army ranger already believed in everything he saw.

"Brother, we obey the military order and only listen to the commanding officers. We only know that we will have breakfast when we go back to Shishe Town." Li Guolou replied with a smile.

"Oh, then be careful." The returning army cavalry disappeared into the darkness, as if merging with the earth.

The enemy was right in front of him, Li Guolou's heart was full of fighting spirit, the sound of marching made a loud noise between the sky and the earth, the horses swung their noses, and the trembling earth touched the heartstrings.

The wooden bridge across the creek made people walk carefully with their horses. More than 2000 people crossed the river in a row, but no one made a sound. Some people accidentally fell into the icy river, and no one laughed.

The sky was still dark, the wind and sand obscured people's eyes, and a large number of Qing troops rushed forward, aiming directly at Shishe Town. In a word, it will be safe.

Marching right under the eyes of the enemy, but not returning to the army to express doubts, no one has ever been so bold. Even if he returned to the army with doubts, he filtered his thoughts in his mind, dispelled his worries, took a breath, and stood guard.

Wang Huacheng wanted to find Li Guolou's figure, but he didn't know where it was, so let him rush over and talk about it, no one will know what kind of beating.

At the time of five drums, the Qing army had already set foot on the land of Shishe Town. Li Guolou issued a military order, the troops stopped marching, and rested in place. The team, which was tired all day and night, had a chance to breathe. In the community town, the Qing army seemed to see a graceful Sleeping Beauty.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Li Guolou issued an action order. If the commander said a word, his subordinates would put it into practice. No one ever came to teach the steps of war by hand. Smart soldiers explored the rules of war on the battlefield with the spirit of self-study and survival. .

The soldiers at the outposts worked together in a division of labor. A group of cavalry went to talk to the people in the city openly, and some people secretly swam across the moat and sneaked under the city gate, intending to blow open the city gate with explosives.

There was no military order, and the returning army guarding the city refused to open the door, angrily scolded: "You guys are crazy, don't scare people with Chen Shuai, we only obey the military order, want me to behead you, wait until dawn!"

The Qing soldiers under the city were cursing and complaining loudly, shouting loudly, "Damn it, tell Imam Zou to come out, we are going into the city!"

"Just kidding, you thought you were Marshal Ma." The returning soldiers defending the city didn't even bother to stretch their necks, wasting their saliva.

"Grandma, we want to see Imam Zou." In the lively scene of people shouting and screaming, more and more people gathered, all of them were Qing troops who wanted to enter the city.

"Your grandma, please be quiet and call for someone." The returning army guarding the city focused all their attention on the Qing army who was making trouble. No one noticed that there was still a Qing army loading explosives under the city gate.

Under the city gate is a blind spot where the Hui army guarding the city cannot see, and the sound is covered up by the Qing army making trouble outside the city. The engineers and soldiers are skilled in installing explosives. Fifty explosive packs were placed on the ground, and the long fuzes were connected together. A captain nodded slightly and said: "Okay, all retreat!"

Thirty or so engineers and soldiers of the Qing Army walked skillfully close to the base of the city wall, so that they would not be attacked by bombs, and they had to lower the suspension bridge.

The engineer captain ignited the fuze himself, and the hissing and smoking fuze carried the hopes of many people in the night. That. [

The guards on the city hurriedly sent someone to ask the officer for instructions, but before the officer came to see the situation, there was a loud bang, and a huge hole was opened in the huge city gate by the explosives, causing a huge wave, and the city gate opened.

The cavalry of the Qing army fired desperately at the top of the city, and the first shot of the battle was fired.

/>

Several daredevil members of the engineering post climbed up the iron chain along the suspension bridge, quickly tied explosives to the iron chain, then ignited the fuze, and shouted, "Okay, run away!"

boom.

There was another loud roar, the iron cables of the huge suspension bridge broke, the suspension bridge fell from the sky, and there was a road at the gate of the city, and the Qing army swarmed in, climbing into the gate from the huge hole.

One by one grenades opened the way, that is, a gap was opened with a grenade, and the Qing army rushed straight to the city gate. The broken city gate was opened by the Qing army soldiers. On the bloody road, a large number of cavalry from the Qing army rushed into the central city of Shishe Town.

The forward cavalry just rushed and fought. They didn't use long spears, but held up their swords, slashed and killed the returning troops along the way, and threw them on fire one by one on the roofs of houses.

With gunshots, horseshoes, and screams, the Hui army in Shishe Town was caught off guard by the sudden attack.

The battle at the top of the city is the key to success or failure. Li Guolou personally took the risk and led the cavalry of Li Ziying to rush to the top of the city along the horse road, and shouted: "Kill it!"

Li Ziying soldiers riding on horses rushed to the top of the city. On the chaotic top of the city, they killed the red-eyed Qing army along the stairs, and threw grenades at the top of the city. Amidst the roar, the top of the city More than a dozen Hui troops were wiped out.

When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, the Qing army has long since become crazy, ignoring the soldiers of the Hui army, rushed to the fortifications of the Hui army, and hacked and killed the Hui army with a big knife.

The cavalry and infantry of the Qing army robbed the commanding heights and cleared the enemy on the top of the city. In the fierce battle on the top of the city, they used their flesh and blood to quickly eliminate the remaining enemy defenders. A snow-capped mountain flag was planted high above the tower. The battle flag was thrown over the city.

"We have won." The soldiers of the Qing army standing at the top of the city shouted at the top of their lungs, telling the Qing army entering the city that this is already the territory of the Qing army.

Li Guolou was the best at artillery battles. He searched for a series of Francophones on the top of the city, and said loudly: "Hurry up, turn the cannon around!"

The strong soldiers of the Qing army moved the cannons, and soon the cannons on the top of the city turned around, pointing at the city.

Li Guolou looked at the two red barbarian cannons on the top of the city, but he had a lot of strength. It was very difficult to turn around with such heavy cannons. He stroked the red barbarian cannons, which could only be used in the future, and shouted: "Fire the cannons at the buildings, Shout out to Lao Tzu!"

boom.

The first Fron machine guns fired, and a building burst into flames in the smoke.

The raging fire was unstoppable, ravaging the entire town, and the city became even more panicked. The fire was like a beast, devouring all the buildings in front of it.

It can only be described as a chaotic war. The commander can't control the soldiers under his command. He doesn't even know where he rushed. The Qing army set fire wherever they went, burned the houses, and threw them on the eaves. The wooden houses quickly burned, and the guns There was a loud noise, and the horses trampled on pedestrians on the road.

A counterattack was organized in a Hui army barracks, and the Qing army was already eyeing it. The barracks closest to the city gate would launch a charge at any time. The barracks were the main target of the Qing army.

The forwards of the Qing army blocked the intersection with dense guns. As long as the returning army rushed out, they would throw them with grenades. The follow-up Qing army entered the city with copper cannons. The barrels and gun mounts were quickly connected together. Then they fell into the barracks, and the copper cannons carried by the Qing army showed their power, and more than a dozen bronze cannons bombarded a barracks. [

Smoke is everywhere in the chaotic battlefield, which seems to be full of clues, which makes people feel at a loss, but everything is compact and dense. Li Ziying, who puts efficiency first, will always make the fastest decision, and each will fight quickly. Become a meticulous group and exert the efficiency of group operations.

Individual bravery can't change the pattern of the battlefield. Teams of returned soldiers who took the lead in killing out of the barracks all died together. The braver returned soldiers died faster, but those returned soldiers who refused to move lived longer. , Under the artillery fire, the only thing to do is to endure and charge under the artillery fire, that is to seek death. At this time, the military order has been used, and the officer will let the officer rush forward when he speaks. A batch of officers died, and the surviving officers never dared to charge again.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Composed of a protective barrier, a returning army barracks was attacked by intelligence. The Franji cannon captured by the Qing army was quickly pulled to the street by a carriage. Houses, fortifications.

The Hui army rushing to the street was looking for death, and the horses swooped with an acceleration, and the Hui army hiding in the hiding place was trampled into a pulp.

The outstanding feature of cavalry fighting is that it is fast. It seems that the entire town of Shishe is full of soldiers and horses of the Qing army. The whole town is ignited. , I feel that Shishe Town has been fatally destroyed.

How many Qing troops had charged in? How did the Hui troops figure it out? All they could see was raging fire and rumbling cannons. If they didn't run away, the cavalry would have killed them.

The return army lost its command system, and the Sixteenth Marshal Zou Baohe saw it from beginning to end. Every squad and every battalion fought independently. Once the fire was exchanged, they were suppressed by the Qing army's firepower. The return army looked left and right. The city gate should still be in hand, as long as the Hui army with two legs and horses and a large number of Hui people fled to the west of the city.

"Run to the west of the city, there is an officer there to organize a retreat." The military order was finally issued, and the returning army must retreat to escape the suppression of the Qing army.

All the Hui soldiers crowded at the gate of the city fled. The Hui army guarding the city had long since disappeared, and they could live if they rushed out of the city. At the west gate of the city, there were crying, cursing, and threatening gunshots.

At this time, it was dawn and the crowds were fleeing in the west of the crowded city. Although the generals returning to the army were organizing a retreat, telling the people to escape quickly and not block the city gate, they were extremely anxious. The fire had already spread, and the gunshots getting closer.

Erhe Prefecture has already seen several Li Zijun flags at the corner of the street. They were old opponents. Now the battle is at a stalemate. Having seen the ferocity of Li Ziying's artillery, Erhe Prefecture was unwilling to resist.

"Order, retreat." Erhe Prefecture believed that the Qing army had a large force, and led more than 1000 elite return troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

His withdrawal indicated that the Hui army completely abandoned Shishe Town, and also allowed the Qing army in Shishe Town to quickly resolve the battle.

Erhezhou is suffering in his heart. How can he not know that victory or defeat is still unknown, and he can still fight, but preserving his strength is an order given to him by the Sixteenth Commander Zou Baohe. Just colluded together and wanted to submit to the Qing army. Only with soldiers and horses can they be sold for a good price. As a bare-handed commander, Zuo Zongtang would not give him territory. Erhe Prefecture was frightened by Li Guolou's artillery battalion. The Thunderbolt Huo he had seen before was a punishment brought by the heavens. He has national awareness and wants to return to the embrace of the Qing Dynasty.

The Sixteenth Marshal Zou Baohe was shattered by the sneak attack of the Qing army, but he still had a place in the Three Caves of the Rabbit, and he thought in his mind that he must surrender as soon as possible, otherwise there would be room for negotiation, and there would be soldiers and horses, even Zuo Zongtang If you spare him, you can only be a lobbyist.
