late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 558 The Overwhelming Charge

Ten bronze cannons roared together, pouring continuously on the hillside. The Qing army used cannons to form a blockade line, dividing the enemy into two parts. The cannon statues had eyes and fell into the enemy camp.The roar of the cannons was more terrifying than the shouts of the Qing army, which made the rebel soldiers feel timid, and no rebel soldiers climbed up the hillside.

The mentality of the enemy and us in hand-to-hand combat on the hillside is completely different. The rebel army is in chaos. Lei Heng, who originally wanted to win the victory with the crowd tactics, is full of regret and annoyance. In a dilemma, Li Guolou's artillery tactics are varied.He no longer has the determination to fight on.Looking at the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Lei Heng couldn't make up his mind again. The outcome of the war was not decided, and now he was defeated as soon as he retreated, and his family fortune was about to be wiped out.

Lei Heng hesitated for a moment. Hearing the continuous sound of cannons, he lost his ability to calmly judge. He still wanted to fight Li Ziying for consumption. When the barrels of the guns heated up, the enemy would stop shelling.But he didn't consider that dozens of bronze cannons had already been placed on the top of the high slope, and the enemy was aiming at the bombardment. The rebel soldiers who were bombed were suffering under the hillside, and they would be unable to bear it at any time. signs of collapse.

With a heart as firm as a stone, Lei Heng lay down on the grass and gave orders to disperse the team to avoid the artillery attack of the Qing army.The fierce hand-to-hand combat of the warriors on the hillside gave him the determination and courage to fight to the end.

The copper cannon loading gun is a front-mounted gun with a fast rate of fire and a range of up to 300 meters. The artillery can point and shoot within 100 meters.The artillery observer does not use the gun scope, but puts the thumb of his left hand in front of his eyes, estimates the distance of the enemy with his eyes, and adjusts the angle of the gun barrel by turning the handle. [

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The power of the bronze cannon is not as powerful as that of the howitzer, but it is light, and it can be pulled out to fight at any time. It is not restricted by the environment, and two soldiers can carry a bronze cannon.Now Li Ziying's bronze cannons are being lifted up the high slope continuously, there are as many as fifty of them, fifty bronze cannons firing together, the power is enough to blow people into pieces.The blockade formed by the artillery became so terrifying. Within 200 meters from the hillside, clouds of smoke rose up, and the artillery fire ravaged the living beings.

What made the insurgents even more terrified was that there were more and more red flags on the high slope. Looking up, the Li Zizhan flag was approaching.Figures continued to appear on the hillside, oppressing them, and it looked like thousands of troops were coming.

The rebel army was timid, and the corps leader, team officer, and sentry officer took the lead in turning around and fleeing backward. There were hilly areas all around. As long as they were out of the attacking range of Li Ziying, they could escape.Lei Heng's team had already turned into bandits, and they ran away if they couldn't beat them. This is the experience of bandits on the run.

The group effect on the battlefield is vividly reflected. As long as someone escapes, the entire battlefield is like a hornet's nest, and everything is messed up.The team immediately became disorganized, and the rebel soldiers who had been lying on the grass and enduring the torment of the artillery ran away, finally exposing the true colors of the rebels. More than 2000 rebel soldiers lost the courage to fight on seeing the bloody hand-to-hand combat.

The opportunity to fight was fleeting, and when they saw the enemy fleeing, they left their backs to themselves. The officers and soldiers of Li Ziying on the battlefield seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, mustered up their courage to charge, and all of them rushed to the "chaotic" army desperately.Facing the arrow above, showing the true colors of a man, the charge resounded throughout the entire position.

"Kill kill kill kill!"

All the soldiers in the position rushed out of the position, the red flags all over the mountains were flying in the morning wind, and the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying rushed to kill.

Li Guolou brandished his pistol and rushed up the high slope. He could express his excitement and overlooked the entire battlefield. The pursuit battle was to beat the dog in the water. He defeated the main force of more than 1000 enemies with 2000 men.

Moreover, more than [-]% of these Li Ziying fighters were recruits for more than a month.These recruits recruited from the Yan'an area are very mixed. Some are villagers who were forcibly captured, some are surrendered factions on the battlefield, and some are veterans of Gaoziying. Change your thinking and become a brave warrior. The ideological education of Xinwutang has made great contributions, and the fine tradition of bringing the old to the new in the army must be perseveringly inherited.

Li Guolou looked at the battle scene, he only needed to stand under the red flag, he did not need to command in the pursuit battle, every Li Zibattalion flag was the commander, and the Li Zibattalion officers and soldiers followed the Li Zibattalion as it moved forward against the wind.With the battle situation like this, there is no suspense anymore, and the balance of victory is tilted towards him.

As the old saying goes, "The poor don't chase after you!"

But how to destroy the enemy without chasing?Li Guolou would not call gold to withdraw his troops, and chase and kill the fleeing enemy until he can't catch up.

Will you fall into the enemy's trap?Where does the enemy's rear lay down the battlefield?Li Guolou didn't think too much about it, the soldiers who charged ahead would inevitably be shot.Even if he fell into the enemy's trap and killed hundreds of officers and soldiers of Li Ziying, Li Guolou would not hesitate. As a commander, his heart has become as cold as a stone, and it is not his "sex" to accept it when he is good. Ge, what he wants is a big victory. It's not as simple as defeating Lei Heng, but to completely wipe out Lei Heng's main force, turning the rebels into rogues, and only need to use local armed forces to wipe out the remnants of the rebel army.

A blocking battle changed the balance of strength between the enemy and us drastically. Looking around, they were all enemies kneeling and begging for surrender. The Qing army already had the advantage in numbers.Many fleeing rebel soldiers turned their heads and saw that the Qing army was chasing after them, kneeling on the ground and surrendering as soon as their legs softened.

This is a competition of endurance. If you want to escape faster, you have to throw away the weapon in your hand.Many fleeing rebel soldiers fled into the mountains empty-handed.If you place an order?What awaits them is to starve to death in the mountains and forests, and the wolves will follow and chase them at any time, tearing away the delicious human flesh.

Li Guolou also wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the enemy's rear, waiting for a new battle report.I hope that Battelle's cavalry can draw a successful conclusion to this blocking battle. At this time, Li Guolou doesn't know where his cavalry has gone?He still knew the general position of each team before the battle, but from the first shot, the battle situation developed in a favorable direction. The victory came too fast, so fast that he had no time to mobilize the troops.If every team had followed the pre-war missions, by the time a new military order was issued, the enemy would have disappeared without a trace.Troops without combat achievements will be scolded to death by him, and people with dead brains are not enough to take on great responsibilities.

At this time, Li Guolou could only wait. All the 1000 troops in his hand were used up, and even the last [-] Goshhas who accompanied him were sent out by him.Instead of looking at the battlefield, he turned around and looked in the direction of Luo Daxiang, hoping that a miracle would happen.

The red flag was flying, and on the winding mountain road, Fan Ye led the four whistlers to the battlefield in time. Seeing this scene, Li Guolou was very pleased. The officers under him gave full play to their subjective initiative, and Fan Ye was an indispensable member. Many warriors.He held Fan Ye's hand happily, and said, "Thank you Fan Yingguan! If you fight well, I can defeat the main force of the enemy. How can the team still fight?" [

"Report to Chief Li, Fan Ye led the four whistlers to wait for the order from Chief Li!" Fan Ye replied out of breath, straightening his back as much as possible, the arrogant Manchu has the capital of pride.

"Well! Good job. I order you to lead the four sentinels to chase after the fleeing Lei Heng until it gets dark." Li Guolou pointed his big hand and sent the new force out.

This is the boldness of a general, even if there are still a large number of enemies ahead, let his subordinates deal with it by themselves.Li Guolou only needs to grasp the scale of the battle situation, have the bearing of a commander, and give full play to his overall planning ability, so that every officer can make the best use of them, mobilize everyone's potential, and only in times of crisis can he show his true qualities as a hero.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task." Fan Ye led more than 400 soldiers to pursue the enemy at a fast marching speed, and soon disappeared from the horizon.

Li Guolou's latest military order was transmitted, and every commander and fighter had a different understanding of the military order, from battalion officer level to level, until every sentry, every team, and every army.Some team officers obeyed orders and pursued the enemy within their capabilities, and were satisfied with capturing a group of prisoners.Some team officers have already been dazzled by the victory, leading the team into the jungle, chasing the enemy fiercely, and even the sentry officer didn't know where the team went?The pursuit battle has evolved into an attack from all sides, the enemy and the enemy are chasing each other on the hills, and the canine-toothed battle situation makes people puzzled.

The battle situation at this time depends on the veterans of each corps, and the corps leader decides where the team will go. How is the fight ahead?How is the record?No one can say for sure, anyway, a big victory has already been won, and the battlefield is full of dark prisoners of war.

Li Guolou didn't move, and he didn't know which enemy to pursue, so he could only check the captured guns and prisoners of war.

Seeing a group of unkempt female prisoners of war, at least 200 of them were sitting on the grass, staring at him stupidly.Li Guolou was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, shouting: "Bastard, who made them sit on the ground to rest. Tie them all up for me, and search them again. You are not allowed to hide a single needle. Cheng Kun What about people? Do you want to be whipped?"

"Officer Li, I'm in charge of these prisoners of war, I think" Zhang Haojie looked at Li Guolou with a playful smile, and before he finished speaking, Li Guolou's whip was already on his face.

"Don't let me say it a second time, understand?" Li Guolou frowned, looking like he wanted to eat people. He didn't want to be stabbed to death by a female prisoner.

"Yes!" Zhang Haojie was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, he stood upright on the spot, the Chu army's military law was cruel, disobeying the military order would only lead to death.

"All these female prisoners of war will be handed over to Marshal Zuo." Li Guolou put aside a sentence, not looking at those weeping faces, so he would not listen to the story of Les Miserables. Killing and setting fire, surrendering if you can't run fast, who will watch ghosts and wolves?The enemy is the enemy, regardless of whether it is male or female, prisoners of war who have not undergone reformation must be vigilant and take preventive measures.

Li Guolou didn't want to leave a bad impression on Zuo Zongtang, no one would like a female monster like a ghost.Li Ziying has strict military discipline and treats prisoners of war like relatives.

"But yes!" Zhang Haojie swallowed the words again, instead of reasoning with Li Guolou, he went to Master Fan to complain.Li Guolou believed what he said, he said that he only cared about military affairs, how could he "intervene" in logistics work?This kind of military order does not need to be listened to.Let Master Fan Dahui do what is reasonable, he doesn't want to be whipped.

Zheng Hengdan was much smarter, rolled his eyes, thought about his heart, approached quietly, and said softly, "Mr. Li, among these female prisoners of war, there must be a woman from Lei Heng, do you want to capture them?"

Li Guolou's figure was nailed all of a sudden, motionless like a wooden stake, it was terrible, war made women go away!But cruel wars make women suffer.The women of the leaders of the rebels will die badly, and the women who have been touched by the leaders of the rebels will inevitably die.These women belonged to the family members of the rebels, and the owl head was the lightest punishment, and the Manchu Qing had even more cruel punishments for women.

Li Guolou hesitated for a moment, and made up his mind, deciding to bear all the crimes by himself, bear the infamy and let the world laugh at him.

After returning to Beijing, he was ridiculed by those Jinshi of the same discipline, smeared by courtiers, and dug out by storytellers, all of which were nonsense.Rumors stop at the wise, and the past is gone with the wind.

"Old rules! According to the merits of the war, get it done as soon as possible, and ask Master Fan to get it all done before tomorrow night. Those women are not allowed to speak, and Li Ziying will not hold a criticism meeting." Li Guolou thought very clearly, and did not talk to talkative women. Opportunity, he doesn't want to be used as an arrow.

"Understood, I'll go and tell Master Fan right now." Zheng Hengdan bowed and retreated, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, instead he felt sore and depressed in his heart.There are many cruel rules in an uneven world, and only people like Li Guolou dare to break these rules.

Zheng Hengdan behaved cautiously, loyal to Li Guolou, abandoned the belief of the White Lotus Sect, and started a new life.In fact, the hatred for Manqing in my heart has never changed. I don’t have any knots if I don’t believe in the White Lotus Sect. I believe that Li Guolou will change the world one day.How can people who accept new ideas be loyal to the decadent Manchu Qing?Zheng Hengdan has long seen through Li Guolou's dark thoughts.

Fan Ye wiped out 1000 enemies, captured more than 500 prisoners of war on the frontal battlefield, and killed 800 enemies.The number of prisoners of war captured by Li Ziying has exceeded [-], and this number is still increasing. The Battle of Luoda Township ended with a great victory for the Qing army, and the results were brilliant.Counselor Zheng Hengdan recounted the latest battle report. Li Guolou remained calm and did not appear ecstatic. He was waiting. As long as Lei Heng didn't catch him, the battle would not be complete. He was looking forward to the trip to the Northwest , can have a perfect ending. [

Li Guolou was full of expectations, but he heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky!
