late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 536 The Counterattack Begins

In three days, the entire Yan'an area rebelled. Lei Heng mobilized and ordered. In Xinyao Town, young and middle-aged people joined the rebellion. The Han army swarmed the rebels, at least thousands

The watchman who rang the gong to call the police kept calling on the people to take up arms and prepare for battle, "The Qing dog is coming, folks, hurry up and gather at Baoguchang."

Bang, bang, bang, gongs kept beating, but getting up early in the morning was quite strenuous. Yesterday, the people who received rice grains in the official warehouse closed the gate tightly, and no one ran out from any house.

"Father Shitou, don't go out to clear the soldiers and kill people without blinking an eye. What kind of hero are you? People use Mauser guns. You use bows and arrows to kill yourself and kill the whole family." A woman in her 40s cried and tugged at the man's clothes. let a man kill himself

"Brother Ma San called me outside, I can't go if I don't go." The man resolutely refused to let the woman pull the door latch to do what he should do to kill the demon.

About [-]% of the people who rush out of the house on the street have shotguns, and most of them are holding cold weapons. Hunting bows are long-range attack weapons. Broadswords, spears, iron plows, shovels, nail-toothed rakes, stone mortars, and rice pestles Farm tools are readily available

There are thousands of Xinyao Town villagers standing on the Baogu Field. So many people are willing to work hard, giving Ma Sange confidence. There are more than 1000 soldiers stationed in Xinyao Town. He has recruited more than 1000 civilians, adding up to 3000 people. It is absolutely possible to hold Xinyao Town and prepare to pull thousands of rebels into the wild to fight the Qing army

The villagers who fled into Xinyao Town exaggerated the size of Li Ziying's cavalry by ten times. Thousands of Qing troops came, which made the rebels, who were originally a mob, fearful again. Dare to mobilize and hide in the old nest, wanting to fight a street battle with the Qing army. The Qing army did not attack Xinyao Town for a day, and the rebel army was full of suspicion. As the supreme commander, Ma Zhankui finally made up his mind to take three battalions out of the town to test Li. Fiction and reality of Ziying

According to the information we have, the Li Ziying left in Dong Zhiyuan is not expanded but reduced in size. Many student soldiers have returned to Tianjin to defend. So I didn't dare to attack Xinyao Town Ma Zhankui boosted the morale of the rebel army and wanted to lead the rebel army to fight out

Ma Zhankui used to be the sentry chief of the Qing army's supply battalion. A sentry of soldiers and horses developed rapidly in Xinyao Town. He also forcibly snatched 150 horses from Yang Dawazi. After two days of hard work, the number of cavalry exceeded 250. All of these more than 1000 horses The only downside of being equipped with American-made Hakistan guns is that there are four howitzers and four bronze cannons, but no one will make the Qing army regard artillery as the highest level of arms to prevent the Han people from touching it. Today, the Han people in the Chu army also have artillery, but the Qing army is very serious about it. The ideological education of the artillerymen is very tight. To be an artilleryman has to go through a political review, so the rebels have cannons in their hands but no artillerymen.

The mortar doesn't need to be aimed, it's a short-range cannon for defense, and it needs to be supported by a city wall to exert its power. Since the grenade has become smaller, it can be thrown four to fifty meters or even seven to eighty meters without any problem. It has become a short-range effective weapon. Become tasteless and be eliminated by the army, and will be invisible on the battlefield in the future

Without waiting for the news from Yan'an City, Ma Zhankui led three battalions of infantry out after breakfast in the early morning

The soldiers of Li Ziying relied on the embankment of the river and engaged in a small-scale contact battle with the rebel army. Although there was a lot of gunshots, the Qing army outpost did not suffer any casualties. They all lay on the ground without even daring to raise their heads. The gunfire was too dense Whispering through the air, hitting the embankment with a bang

Li Yunchu commanded the battle and watched the rebel army spread like ants. Does this kid need money? When the Qing army is not visible, the rebel army is shooting randomly. What's the matter? The cavalry is behind the infantry and the rebel army attacks Isn't it courting death to attack in such a weird formation like a fan? A volley of guns can kill twenty or thirty rebels.

"Shoot into the sky and retreat" Li Yun caught the cat with two revolvers on his waist, not daring to disobey Li Guolou's order and lead the outpost to evacuate from the embankment

The rebel army rushed across the three stone bridges. There were hundreds of corpses of the Qing army and some broken guns along the way. "Oh!" Now the rebel army has become more energetic, speeding up their pace and rushing harder. Thousands of infantry spread out on the loess slope. The ant-like insurgents charged forward with full of fighting spirit

At this time, Li Guolou was lazily sitting on a piece of dry grass, surrounded by cavalry sitting on the ground, and in a dark area, Li Guolou ambushed all the cavalry on the hill.

It is unbelievable that the rebel army dispatched thousands of soldiers to the battlefield at once Everyone knows that these people are mobs who fight in the wild. They can't control the formation well and no one can command such a large battlefield. Running on the loess slope, he will have thousands of infantry back and forth. It's a pity that the enemy commander is so timid that he drags the cavalry to the end and cannot wipe out the enemy's cavalry.

Secretly slandering the elders in the Qing army for rebellion, not treating the common people as human beings, and wanting to use crowd tactics to win, it's a pity that he doesn't like this set of insurgents. The scattered formation is destined to be a massacre, which is extremely ridiculous. The Qing army also dared to rebel. These fat moths think rebellion is too simple, even people like him who are full of reactionary thoughts dare not rebel.

"Hey, the rebels are carrying the American-made Haqikaisi gun, which is too heavy. This gun is not suitable for the physique of our Qing people. When I go back, I will build a 70mm rifle. The gun weighs no more than [-] catties." Li Guolou was a little distracted. Don't put the enemy in front of your eyes in your eyes, you're thinking about a thousand Hakisei guns, it's a pity that this gun weighs [-] catties and it's not suitable for cavalry

Fan Dahui stood proudly under a green pine tree with the demeanor of a general, looked at the battlefield in the distance with a binoculars, and asked without answering, "Mr. Li, don't you take a look?"

Li Guolou looked up at the floating clouds in the sky and said with a smile, "I'm not a god. I can command such a large battlefield by myself. Now I just need to manage the [-] cavalry here and listen to the command of the bugle. I want to thank the enemy for that command." The official dared to lead so many mobs into the charge."

Fan Dahui said anxiously: "Why isn't the bald head firing? What is he dawdling about?"

Li Guolou used newcomer Su Yuanchun, Fan Dahui and others to command this campaign. Although there were some objections that Su Yuanchun was too young, Li Guolou decided on the final plan [

"Hey, the young man is too ambitious, the bald head wants to wipe out those cavalry, let him go." Li Guolou looked at the insurgents who couldn't run in the distance, who were stumbling and continuing to chase the Qing army in the open plains, feeling a little uneasy. The rebel army has already started to form a team, Su Yuanchun must seize the opportunity, or the opportunity will be fleeting.

Su Yuanchun stood in front of the artillery camp excitedly holding up his binoculars and looking at the scene in the distance. The enemy had already slowed down, touched his bare forehead, and couldn't bear the commotion and howled: "Fire!"

This is the first time he has commanded such a big battle, Su Yuanchun's excited voice is trembling

The rebel army just started to line up, and then they heard a cannon from the opposite side, and they were collectively startled.

boom boom boom

A few rainbows streaked across the sky, and the cannons roared from a distance. The first round of ten cannons "fired" directly at the cavalry camp of the rebel army.

"Ah!" The cavalrymen of the rebel army screamed, people turned their backs on their horses, their flesh and blood flew, and their corpses flew across the sky.

boom boom boom

And when the insurgents regained their senses, the second round of cannons attacked again, as if they had eyes, and went to the place where there were many people, and then they saw the cannons whizzing past and accurately shooting into the crowd, beating a piece of flesh and blood. When the limb weapon fragments flew up, they exploded into several pieces and "shot" into the person's body. More thighs, lower legs, and arms were hit by the pieces, causing a large area of ​​casualties. Groups of rebels fell to the ground and howled.

boom boom boom

Another round of bangs, loud noises, smoke rising, more cannons whizzing past, as the cannons continue to shoot into the thick smoke, billowing up on the yellow land, blood mist bursts everywhere, crackling bone fractures, hoarse screams, and the rebel army Frightened and chaotic, I don't know what to do. Most people first shoot a bullet in the barrel to the blurred front

The soul-stirring artillery on the opposite side kept firing a cannon, killing a flag officer and destroying all the flags in the cavalry camp

Howling in terror, the terrified rebel army couldn't hear what the commanders of each team were saying. Most of the rebel army members were running with the flags of their respective teams. The flag officer was taken care of by the artillery, and he fell to the ground together with the military flag, and suddenly heard a shocking sound like thunder and torrent from the left and right, that was the rolling enemy cavalry

"kill"

The rebel army saw several heads "exposed" thousands of meters away in front of the smoke. Thousands of Qing infantrymen killed them with swords, guns and sticks.

Yang Zhao led more than 30 bodyguards, brandishing swords and rushing to the front of the team. They all rode horses with full-powered horses and rushed to Huangtupo

Wearing a military uniform, Yao Bin led a group of armed landlords to follow closely behind the cavalry. The charging posture of thousands of people was magnificent from afar.

On the left and right of the loess slope, two torrents of iron cavalry are rushing towards their wings. This is the main force of the Qing army.

The two streams of iron were constantly pounding on the ground, making a thud-thumping sound like a yellow dragon that overwhelmed the river and the sea, and the murderous aura that enveloped the world seemed to soar into the sky. Many rebels were stunned by these two terrifying auras, and some even froze. Forget about running away and desperately pulling the trigger as if this would kill the oncoming Qing soldiers
