late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 545 The Battle of Lazikou Begins

There was a lot of gunfire near Lazikou. Dozens of Dong Fuxiang's troops shot while retreating into the canyon. Although Dong Fuxiang's troops were good at fighting, they couldn't resist the desperate attack of the locust-like rebels. The Qing army left 160 soldiers behind. More than half of the corpses were injured before they withdrew from the position

Relying on the natural barrier of Lazikou, the Qing army built ten fortifications. Today, only the 30-meter natural barrier of Lazikou is left. If you step back, you will give up the natural barrier. The mountains behind you can climb over it.

Liu Jintang led a group of soldiers to stand at the mouth of the canyon to meet Dong Fuxiang's troops. He saw that there were only more than 140 soldiers left in the Qing army, and most of them were disabled.

"Liu Zhoutong's subordinates can't hold their positions. There are too many enemies, and there may be tens of thousands of people." Dong Fuxiang clutched his bleeding arm, staggered, and needed help when walking.

"Well, Dong Dusi is doing well. I can hold on for a day and a half. I will credit you." Liu Jintang has a special status. Many of his subordinates have higher official positions than him. He is the second leader of the old Hunan Army.

"Subordinates can still fight. After I bandage the wounds, I will avenge the dead comrades." Dong Fuxiang is cruel to the enemy and has stricter requirements on his subordinates. Defeat is a shame for soldiers. Only victory can wash away the humiliation of failure or all die on the battlefield.

"Good job, I'll give you a day off and continue fighting tomorrow." Liu Jintang ordered loudly for all the soldiers to hear and see that as long as the soldiers of the Hunan Army don't die, they must fight until the last moment

The Qing court was full of wariness and fear towards the old Hunan army. The fighting power of this army was too strong, and they were afraid that the Hunan army would rebel. Therefore, although Liu Jintang made many military exploits, the court has always suppressed his official position.

Everything has a number of days Li Guolou proposed to Zuo Zongtang that Ma Hualong, who paralyzed Jinji Fort, let the Qing army and the Hui army spend time at the negotiating table. The negotiation of Hualong will change the fate of many people

The Qing army was deployed at the mouth of the canyon, relying on geographical advantages to block the rebels who wanted to flee into Sichuan. At this time, Liu Jintang had 3000 troops in his hands, mostly miscellaneous troops. Liu Jintang twisted into a rope, the 30-meter canyon entrance is the battlefield for their decisive battle. You can't take a step back. Those who dare to retreat will die. A cruel military law of the Hunan Army is even worse than the military system of the Chu Army. The strongest army in the world is by no means a vain name. The strong cohesion of the Hunan Army made the three thousand Qing troops full of desire to fight

One after another, the "Bronze" banner stands on a high mountain. For this glorious banner, three thousand Qing soldiers made up their minds to die.

The army drums of the rebel army in the mountains and forests in the distance beat rhythmically, and the sun and moon flags fluttered in the wind like a rainbow. The rebel army has broken through nine fortifications built by the Qing army and wiped out more than 100 braided dogs. As long as the mouth of the canyon breaks through this natural danger, Sichuan will be trampled under the feet of the rebels

Lei Heng waved his horsewhip smartly at hundreds of rebel soldiers, and proudly said: "Brothers, we want to live. The butcher Zuo Zongtang wants to trap us to death, thinking that a high mountain can stop our progress. Should we sit and wait for death, or rush over?"

"rush over"

"rush over"

"rush over"

The shouts of mountains and tsunami reverberate in the valley. Hundreds of rebels hold grenades in their hands and raise their arms, shouting that they meet on a narrow road and the brave win. They are the bravest people in the world. The grenades blew up the blocking dogs to pieces. The aura represents the determination of the rebel army. The brutal military law makes these soldiers have no way of turning back.

Lei Heng has been promoted by the rebel army as a god-like character. The original beard is gone. The well-groomed mustache is raised proudly. Become Lei Heng's legend and now Lazikou is the place where his myth is witnessed. Lei Heng looks up at Lazikou Canyon and looks forward to the birth of another myth.

The mountain road was steep, and the heavy howitzers could not be dragged up. The rebel army still had [-] bronze cannons, which were dragged out of the canyon by horses and people.

"Look at the enemy's cannons." A Qing army observer hiding in the high place of the canyon first discovered the enemy's actions

"Make a meal of dumplings for the enemy and give me a hard hit." Liu Jintang waved his fist and issued a battle order. The insurgents, like ants, ignored the enemy's cannons. Those cannons under Lei Heng's command were the largest in the Qing army. threaten

Boom Boom

In the canyon, the Qing army found the enemy's bronze cannons, condescending, forty bronze cannons and howitzers fired first, and bombed the enemy's artillery

"Ah ah ah ah" [

The insurgents were blown to pieces of flesh and blood, broken limbs and wreckage everywhere. At least half of the copper cannons were directly blown up by cannons. The other dozen copper cannons were dragged into the depths of the dense forest, not daring to "show their heads". The artillery positions were clearly visible, and they looked at the steep cliffs without seeing a single enemy artillery.

Muye, the frontline commander of the rebel army, looked at the rebel army who had fled back into the bushes, muttering to himself, even the soldiers standing beside him couldn't hear what he was talking about. His nagging words were "I didn't kill Gao Liansheng"

Now the rebel army looks like a strong army, but in fact it is at stake The Qing army's original strategy for the Hui army in several county towns was to encircle the Hui army, so the first difficulty encountered by the Gelaohui in the Northwest pulling up flags and rebelling was that the dangerous and important roads were all in the hands of the Qing army. Conquer the capital city of Minzhou, but be able to launch a large-scale campaign

Lazikou's natural danger is close at hand. Mu Ye looked at the mouth of the canyon and was full of fear and anxiety. Liu Jintang, the number one general of the Hunan Army, was sitting in Lazikou. He was confident of conquering this dangerous pass and breaking through the nine passes along the way. The rebel army had already sacrificed 700 people. Dong Fuxiang's Muslim army is so powerful. I have already experienced that even a prisoner of the Muslim army was captured. This is a desperate army. Muye didn't give up hope. He fought his way down and broke through Lazikou and entered Sichuan. To build a Han empire in Sichuan, if the rebels suffered heavy casualties, they would not be able to take down Lazikou Makino also had a life-saving talisman, and a pair of red eyes like cunning rabbits stared at the eldest brother Lei Heng who walked into the depths of the jungle

Makino commanded the veterans to let the new recruits go to death. The more than 1000 rebels who were about to rush into Lazikou also had guns. They were holding simple spears and four grenades stuck in their belts. Just use these recruits as cannon fodder

Thousands of recruits from the rebel army Lu Ke retreated for the national righteousness against Qing and oppression How could the Han people be oppressed by foreign races To fight, demand to live, to rebel All they have to do is bravely charge forward Hold the spear tightly and tighten the waistband to be afraid When I ran, I dropped the grenade. I didn’t even think about the possibility of running within [-] meters of the Qing army. The dark crowd in the woods was ready to go, imagining that they would be able to break through Lazikou in the first wave of offensive and become a fighting hero to kill Qing demons. They can only rely on it. Fantasies can support the driving force. Looking at the straight and steep canyon mouth, there is no one who is not afraid. Just now, the artillery has been smashed into the sand. Now it is their turn. Attack and get rid of these people

The beating of military drums makes people nervous. The Qing army in Lazikou Gorge is waiting for the enemy to appear. Liu Jintang is good at running the army. His subordinates worship him as a god. The members of the Gelaohui who were originally hidden in the Qing army suddenly have an idol they worship. They are called Xiao Li Guang. As expected, Liu Jintang has the look of a parachutist. He had expected that the enemy would attack Lazikou. The instability in the Qing army disappeared after Liu Jintang arrived at Lazikou. 』The subordinates rebelled and were reported in a blink of an eye, and their heads fell to the ground

Liu Jintang's words are solid and solid. He said that he would not blame the soldiers for joining the Gelaohui in the past, so he would no longer settle old accounts and treat every soldier as his own.

The former Lazikou battalion officer Qin Can made an impassioned statement and vowed to live and die with his brothers. He would treat the second sentry team who joined the Gelaohui equally. Those officers and soldiers who are like this are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend this "Jin" flag Qin Can. I have long since given up the idea of ​​​​settling accounts after the fall, wishing I could show my heart and let the brothers judge his utter loyalty

Those members of the Gelaohui who were originally hidden in the militia were even more grateful to Liu Jintang. These people joined the Gelaohui just for the convenience of doing business, and they had the intention of rebelling. The gangsters are two concepts. They claim to be heroes. They should follow an indomitable big brother Lei Heng. Never heard of it.

"Parcelerator" Liu Jintang is their hero

The Qing army in Lazikou is condescending and hiding in the position, staring closely at the mouth of the canyon. The rapid drumbeat makes people breathless. Sun and moon flags emerge from the bushes like ghosts, and several cannons are swiped from their heads. But it was the artillery comrades who took the lead and fired.

Boom Boom

The cannon fell into the camp of the rebel army, blowing up the enemy's formation, and the smoke of gunpowder was still there. The rebel army, holding the battle flag high, marched forward bravely, and rushed to Lazikou Canyon without thinking about their own safety. The dense crowd yelled "kill" like mad dogs.

The sound of popping beans came one after another. The Qing army was condescending and shooting towards crowded places. Pull the trigger, pull the bolt, unload, load the second bullet, and pull the trigger again to aim and shoot. That’s because it’s not easy for the running enemy to aim and “shoot” at roughly one position. The Qing army has the best geographical advantage and has a solid position. Even if the enemy runs within [-] meters and throws grenades one by one, it’s not easy to throw many grenades. Throwing it on the cliff and turning it down just raises a series of smoke and has a lethal effect

On the other hand, the rebel army of thousands of people is like a live target that explodes in the rebel army and explodes, and then flies across. Each rebel soldier clutches his blood-oozing chest limply and dies layer by layer at the mouth of the canyon. The people behind the dead bodies are still rushing forward to "kill"

The insurgents finally rushed into the mouth of the canyon, facing a pincer attack from both sides, and the grenades on both sides fell like raindrops

"Ah ah ah"

The insurgents screamed miserably, and the rising smoke covered everyone's eyes. The grenade in their hands exploded when it was thrown out. Running over is harder than climbing to the sky. A thousand rebels rush to the mouth of the canyon one after another. Their fate is already doomed. A group of cannon fodders who even have guns have no chance to become heroes for killing demons. firepower configuration

These thousand rebels are just cannon fodder in Lei Heng's hands, death is not a pity, he blinked his eyelids, and muttered to himself: "The braided dog has a lot of money, order the second wave of offensive, and wait until it gets dark."

Lei Heng wants to turn the Battle of Lazikou into a hand-to-hand combat in the era of cold weapons. He wants to break through this dangerous pass with a large number of people. He is not in a hurry and still has time to feed the rebels and wait for the night.
