late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the early morning, sharp horns sounded in the trenches, and the artillery positions of the Qing army fired thousands of cannons at Dongzhi County, which was thunderous and deafening.

The soldiers of the Qing army in the trench covered their ears and looked up at the howling artillery. When the Qing army was so profligate, the artillery fell into Dongzhi County like raindrops. The artillery fought well and blew the enemy to pieces.

The Qing Dynasty exerted all its power to deal heavy blows to the Hui army and dropped thousands of cannons. It can be said that this was the largest artillery battle since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to show that the imperial court attached great importance to this battle. Its ability to transport military supplies to Dong Zhiyuan will inspire the hearts of the Chinese people with a big victory.

Under the raging cannon, the city wall made of huge stones fell apart piece by piece, the collapsed stones were shattered, the loess inside the stone bricks was exposed, and then the loess also shattered little by little, and the city wall became dilapidated and incomplete while shaking. The forts on the city wall disappeared one by one. Those cannons had long since fallen into the pits, and the barrels were crooked, revealing half of their muzzles.

The city wall trembled under the ravages of artillery, the ground trembled, and gunpowder smoke filled the sky above Dongzhi County, but Dongzhi County still stood tall on the loess high slope, she was still so tall and straight, like a weather-beaten old man, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat. [

Guo Baochang stood still, his tall and straight body looked so stalwart that the officers next to him didn't dare to say anything. How long would the long wait be?

I don't know what Guo Baochang was thinking, the commander didn't speak, no one dared to say anything, round after round of shelling, the city wall withstood the baptism of the cannon, and did not collapse in pieces. Strong and durable.

"Light it up." Guo Baochang seized the opportunity and ignited the fuse of the explosives at just the right time. Tens of thousands of catties of explosives were buried in the hollowed out area under the city wall. He wanted to raze the city wall in front of him to the ground and open up a way forward.

The rumbling and loud noises continued, and Dongzhi County City seemed to be twisted weirdly. The tumbling earthworm was struggling in the soil, and sections of the city walls collapsed one after another.

The huge air wave lifted up layers of loess, and the entire Dongzhi county disappeared in front of my eyes, leaving only the rushing yellow dust, and the billowing yellow clouds churning in the sky. The scene made people excited, and the officials hugged each other warmly , the fortifications that the Hui army was proud of were destroyed by the Qing army.

"Concentrate firepower for me and open up a path for the Qing soldiers." Guo Baochang ordered, without a smile on his face. The moment of victory has not yet arrived, and the returning army has not put down their weapons. There will be a hard fight ahead.

The first step of the battle was carried out smoothly, and Dongzhi County was safe to defend. The next street fighting was even more tangled, and Dongzhi County would be turned into ruins in a bloody wind.

The Qing army held high the snow-capped lion flag and appeared at every gap in the city wall. Thousands of Qing troops rushed to Dongzhi County.

Behind every ruin, there are Hui soldiers who are stubbornly resisting, and the two sides are fighting to the death in a small area. It is not important to fight for anything, and it has no strategic value. The important thing is that bloody men are fighting.

Lives disappeared in the ruins one by one, and blood was sprinkled on every piece of rubble. The unyielding Hui army, the heroic Qing army, and the two mortal enemies were fighting for their ideals.

The emergence of hot weapons made life dangerous within a kilometer, so that the commander could not watch the battle from a close view, and the commander rarely went to the front to personally command the battle of the city. As the main attacking army, the Qing army was the closest to death on the battlefield. The most important are those battalion officers, sentry officers, and captains. These officers braved the rain of guns to command their respective teams on the front line.

However, the senior generals of the Qing army were all generals who fought on the battlefield. As soon as they saw that the battle was going well, the Qing army had poured into the gap in the ruins, and immediately moved their command post forward. Guo Baochang built the battlefield command post in the middle of a piece of ruins. Three hundred Goshhas built a line of defense around the city bricks.

Li Guolou stood there for a long time, surrounded by constant gunshots. He could only see Goshha standing guard with a gun nervously, and then turned his head and said, "Commander Guo, you plan to recover Dongzhi County in a few days!"

"There is no exact date. Huizi is very tenacious. They are willing to go through fire and water for Ma Zhenghe. At night, Huizi will launch a counterattack. It's hard to say whether they can stand up. Don't be too happy, at least the city is still alive." There are tens of thousands of returned troops." Guo Baochang never thought that he would be more tenacious than the Hui army, and it was not worth the effort. The Qing army first established an advantage, established a line of defense in Dongzhi County, and then consumed the strength of the Hui army. Anyway, he had cannons. Let the returning army regain some positions at night, and they can regain them tomorrow.

"Hey, these ground mice are hiding in the tunnels. The returning army wants to fight a tunnel battle with us." Li Guolou tried his best to look at the battlefield where the smoke was rising, and there was an artillery battle there.

"I am the god of death. I will give death to these returned troops who resisted the celestial dynasty. I will try to take Dongzhi County in three days. However, Deputy Marshal Xu gave me five days. I am not in a hurry. Master Li, learn a little bit. I will teach you how to fight. I want you to pay the tuition." Guo Baochang planned to attack Dongzhi County as a classic battle, and let the world know how to capture a strong city.

"Yes, Commander Reaper's order, I will obey." Li Guolou is not a selfish person. He hopes that a country will be strong, and he also hopes that other troops will have a qualitative leap. His help to the Chu army is selfish. Do your best to help the brother troops who are fighting for the country.

The battle reports kept coming, there were reports of victory in eliminating the returned army, urgent reports of reinforcements from the front, and news of the team's retreat. These bits and pieces that make up a battle, Guo Baochang issued various orders according to different battle situations.

At most, the map of the battlefield drawn by the student soldiers of Li Ziying came in copies. The map of each small plot appeared vividly on the paper. Wei Hanyu and Xu Lan quickly assembled the small maps into a connected map. A street or even A few streets and a few forts can be seen in front of you. [

In addition to being surprised, Guo Baochang was more admirable. Maps are so important in Li Guolou's mind. On the battlefield, he even asked his subordinates to draw maps of various streets.

The supreme commander actually fights by looking at the map. In a huge city, the supreme commander has at most one street in front of his eyes. Where can he see the whole situation? If he wants to know more information, he needs a complete map, so the map is very important for the commander Just baby.

"Fucking Li Guolou, why did you come up with this idea? This is a good idea, but if a student soldier dies, I won't be able to sleep because of the pain." Guo Baochang looked at the map and laughed. The larger the map was drawn by the student soldiers on the front line with artillery fire, and with a map of an area, he can make quick decisions, the command system suddenly becomes flexible, and the speed of issuing orders is faster.

Li Guolou stared at the map, wishing it was a complete map of Dongzhi County, but such a piecemeal map is already extremely difficult, and he was extremely entangled: "Commander Guo, if it weren't for our good relationship, I would not be willing." Let the student soldiers do this kind of thing, these students will become officers at the level of sentry officers and battalion officers in the future, and some will become generals, and if they die in this kind of place, I can't even eat!"

"Well, I know, as long as the surviving student soldiers, I will not treat them badly. When the team is resting, I will select a group of people from the army and let Liu Liumazi train the new generation of officers for me." Guo Baochang glanced contemptuously. Hey, what a hypocrisy, Li Guolou led the student soldiers to the battlefield, and he was going to build graves for the student soldiers, so how could he eat less meat.

"I think the south can be used as the main attack direction, and attack with fire along the wind, so as not to give the enemy a chance to survive." Li Guolou looked at the simple map and tested the direction of the wind with his hands. He was on the battlefield and he was about to win. He has long forgotten the evil consequences of using fire to attack, even if Dong Zhi County is reduced to ashes, he will not hesitate.

"Order, the soldiers on the southern front stop attacking and set fire to me." Guo Baochang thought about it, and immediately issued an order. He is not a kind person, and a lot of vicious strategies will be used here.

After a while, thick smoke billowed from the south of the city, and the flames were raging. The wind swept across half the city. The Qing troops on the southern front applauded and choked to death the Hui troops hiding in the fortifications. Where the fire swept through, people could survive. This is a good way , as the most effective strategy to kill the enemy, soldiers of the Qing army praised the supreme commander Guo Baochang, who was vicious and smart enough.

"Mr. Li, how do you know that the south of the city is a trap?" Guo Baochang respectfully presented his treasure, the horsewhip, to Li Guolou with both hands.

"This is the advantage of having a map. Our army's advance in the south of the city was too smooth. No matter what is in the south of the city, I will burn it first and let Ma Zhenghe cry." Li Guolou was very proud, waving the whip with his right hand, and threw A loud flower live.

"Okay, with this trick, the Hui army will burn at least a thousand people to death. Our army will definitely capture Dongzhi County in three days." Guo Baochang was happier when he saw that the fire was showing signs of stopping. The more intense the fire, the better. Only being naked can be regarded as the rebirth of the phoenix, and Dong Zhi County must be reborn in blood under the artillery fire.

"This is a fire caused by artillery fire. It is heaven's punishment for the enemy, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Guolou has already classified this fire as a sky fire, so he will not reveal his scars.

"Haha, idiot, I don't know how to write it in the battle report, and the local officials will take care of the mess. What are you afraid of? I won't betray you." Guo Baochang looked at the smoke, beaming with joy, and killed thousands of returning troops. The enemy's counterattack at night will have stamina.

"Guo Dazui, you say one thing and another behind your back. You will talk about this matter for the rest of your life, and you will say it when you are drunk." Li Guolou squinted. He has been in Dong Zhiyuan for so long. Let Chu Jun grasp the handle, can these big bosses be reconciled, have the opportunity to belittle him, Guo Baochang was the first to jump out of his behavior and expose his old background.

"Haha, Li Guolou is the one who knows me, I don't deny it." Guo Baochang laughed dryly, and the fire stopped the trend of the battlefield, and the contact between the enemy and us became more cautious.

In addition to building fortresses, the returning army also dug tunnels one after another. Using Tibetan soldiers, they could avoid artillery fire. After learning the power of the Qing army's cannons, the returning army changed their tactics and learned how to avoid the artillery. Ma Zhenghe thought about returning after the city wall fell The army's countermeasures, Dongzhi County has already built a battlefield like a meat grinder, and every courtyard has fighters from both sides vying for it.

Relying on their geographical advantages, the Hui army fought tenaciously, and suddenly threw a huge grenade into the middle of the Qing army from a hidden corner.

"Lie down." A Qing army commander suddenly fell to the ground, and the Qing army beside him fell to the ground.

Whether you can live or not depends on the number of days. The grenades returned to the army are large in size but small in power. The hand grenades of the army are still based on the old-fashioned craftsmanship, but they are also terrifying enough. If the Qing army is not careful, they will be attacked by hand grenades. There will be various traps in an alley. The Qing army suffered a lot in street fighting. There were fallen corpses of Qing soldiers on every street, and the Hui army took street fighting as the main battlefield, fighting the Qing army in a narrow area.

Street fighting became a nightmare for the Qing army, with slow advances, restless step by step, cautious and cold guns, the whole city cleared the way with grenades, and the howitzers were moving at a slow speed.

At the ruins occupied by the Qing army, tens of thousands of elders began to build fortifications, using rubble, wood, bricks and stones to build temporary fortifications, preparing to fight a protracted battle with the returning army.
