The Sun Never Sets Great China

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the heavy rain fell on the ground to form puddles. On the muddy mountain road, Dolbo rode forward on horseback. Behind him was the [-] Manchu army. , There were dozens of carriages wrapped in oilcloth with gunpowder, and [-] Han musketeers could only advance with muskets without ammunition, but they all had knives pinned to their waists.

The mountain road is getting higher and higher, and it is getting more and more steep. Duoerbo looked at the heavy rain depressingly, and scolded his mother in his heart. There is not even a village stationed in the wilderness here, so he can only climb over the mountain to see if there is a village. up.

At this time, a large number of troops armed with long spears and huge shields suddenly appeared in front of them. Duoerbo raised his back hand when he saw that the Manchu and Qing troops stopped advancing.Dolbo found that the opponent's army was advancing in a trapezoidal shape with the soldiers on the mountain wall moving forward and the soldiers on the cliff behind, obviously trying to push his own troops off the cliff.Doerbo immediately gathered all the five thousand and eight banner cavalry, ready to attack the enemy's formation, suddenly a soldier ran over from behind the team, and when he got under Doerbo's horse, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The general is not good, I There were also a large number of gun shields behind the army and the enemy moved towards our army in a trapezoidal shape." After hearing this, Duo Erbo immediately asked the musketeers to put all their muskets on the cart, and first used their waist knives to fight against the enemy behind. And he immediately commanded [-] cavalry to form an impact formation, and he wanted to directly charge through the enemy's spear and shield formation.

Zhang Huahan, who was in the frontal command of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, squinted his eyes at the cavalry on the opposite side, and immediately sent a signal to the soldiers to stop advancing first. He directed the soldiers on the top of the mountain to load the heavy catapult he improvised. The heavy-duty catapult can hold a large number of stones at a time, and the stones are coated with oil, and they become flint bombs when they are ignited. However, the throwing distance is very short, only more than 20 meters, and it is effective against dense enemies on relatively narrow mountain roads. Great lethality.

Dolbo took the lead in person, took the lead, and led five thousand cavalrymen to charge. The sound of rumbling horseshoes and the vibration of the mountain road made many militiamen in the Chinese army formation who had never fought before feel trembling in their calves. The soldiers of the regular army and the old militiamen who had fought in the war comforted and encouraged them, but they also braced themselves and grabbed their weapons.

When Dolbo led [-] cavalrymen to less than a hundred steps away from the Chinese Revolutionary Army, a large number of arrows shot at them. The soldiers of the Eight Banners were all clothed and armored, and they had a certain defense against arrows. However, hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers were shot in the vitals and fell off their horses, or their horses were shot into hedgehogs and fell down. Many of the horses behind were knocked down, but most of the Manchu and Qing cavalry rushed over and waited for them to leave. When the Chinese Revolutionary Army's gun and shield array was less than ten meters away, suddenly countless flaming stones appeared on their heads, and immediately hundreds of Manchu soldiers were sucked to death, burned to death, or fell off the cliff.

There was an arrow stuck in the gap between the nail leaves of Dolbo's abdomen. He ignored it and rushed directly to the front of the long spear formation. With a slam of the sword, it hit the opponent's giant shield, and three soldiers were standing against the huge shield that was still touching the ground. The shield just trembled.Soon, a large number of Manchu and Qing cavalry slammed into the huge shield of the Chinese Revolutionary Army bitterly. Only a few giant shields were knocked away by the huge impact. The Qing cavalry, and the heavy catapults behind them were not idle, and smashed the flaming stones at the Manchu cavalry. The heavy rain poured down, and after the kerosene stone hit the cavalry, the heavy rain became The burning medium, on the contrary, burns bigger and bigger.

After Duoerbo chopped off a spear that stabbed him, he couldn't do anything to the enemy behind the giant shield, and the crowded cavalry behind him prevented him from charging and hitting the giant shield again. It was a thick wooden shield wrapped with iron sheets and tied with iron wires. Suddenly, an arrow hit his left eye. He gritted his teeth and grabbed out the shaft of the arrow, trying to break it first. Suddenly, a long spear stabbed him like lightning. He covered his face and didn't even know that he was pierced through the head without even reacting. This shot was stabbed by the martial arts expert Xiaoyue.

As soon as Zhang Huahan saw that the chief general of the Manchu Qing army, Doerbo, was dead, he immediately asked the soldiers to shout: "Your general, Doerbo, is dead, surrender quickly, surrender without killing."

After the heavy catapult was thrown ten times, there were less than 500 Manchu cavalry on the horse. They surrendered. Zhang Huahan immediately commanded the army to move on. Now is the time to deal with the [-] musketeers.

Zhang Huahan commanded the troops to advance for a while, and saw that there were loose enemy troops ahead. After pushing and killing the enemies, the Manchu soldiers were crowded together, and a large number of Manchu soldiers were pushed off the cliff. , the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty also heard the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army shouting: "Your general Duoerbo is dead, surrender quickly, surrender without killing." These words, the morale of the soldiers of the Manchu Qing Army was low, and many people knelt down one after another Falling to the ground means surrender.

Zhang Huahan commanded the people to push the heavy catapult behind him as fast as possible.After the heavy catapult was pushed up and thrown three times, the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing army saw more and more people died. The huge flint bombs dropped from it smashed a large number of Manchu and Qing soldiers off the cliff, or It turned into a sea of ​​flames and burned people to death. The screams of ghosts and wolves continued. Many Manchu soldiers threw their waist knives on the ground and surrendered. More and more Manchu soldiers surrendered like a chain reaction.

The battle ended quickly, and a total of more than 8000 Han Chinese from the Manchu Qing army, more than 300 Mongols and more than 100 Manchus were captured.

The Chinese Revolutionary Army won a great victory in this ambush, but the Chinese Revolutionary Army only suffered less than 2000 casualties. The militia leaders, Hong Ying, Xia Yunyi, Li Youguang and others all admired Zhang Huahan, the deputy commander with the same name as the former leader.

Zhang Huahan led the troops to retreat first, and fought a few big battles before the remaining main force of the Manchu Qing came to gain the upper hand in military strength.

Zhang Huahan asked the regular troops to go back to their respective stations first, because they still had tasks and could only be temporarily transferred.Zhang Huahan ordered the militia leaders to be responsible for the ideological remolding of the captives, and [-] militia troops were drawn from elsewhere.

The news of the annihilation of the [-] Manchu Qing army spread to Beijing, and the Manchu Qing court was shaken. Emperor Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately called a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures. The Manchu ministers each elected a Manchu general who was close to them.

The ministers in the court were arguing endlessly, and Emperor Shunzhi couldn't make up his mind. At this time, an eunuch on duty walked up to Emperor Shunzhi and whispered: "Long live, the queen mother gave it to you." After sending it to Emperor Shunzhi, Shunzhi saw that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang wanted him to use Hong Chengchou, but as the emperor grew older, she could no longer decide things in the court, otherwise the rules would be broken, so the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang could only use Hong Chengchou. Use this method of passing notes to give Emperor Shunzhi an idea.

Emperor Shunzhi thought about it after reading the note, and he couldn't think of a more suitable person than Hong Chengchou. Although Hong Chengchou was a Han, he was indeed very capable after all. Now he can only be used. The generals who are under the command are all warriors who can only use force to eat, and some of them are civil servants who don't understand military affairs. Now we can only use this Han Chinese Hong Chengchou who is both civil and military.

Emperor Shunzhi immediately ordered Hong Chengchou to rush to Yunnan to take over military affairs.Moreover, an order was sent to Leng Sengji and Ye Bilong to obey Hong Chengchou's orders.

Next to a village in the south of Huguang, a piece of military tent was set up in the open space. Zhang Huahan stood by the map and looked at Xiaoyue's beautiful body busy packing his things. He was moved. Xiaoyue is now working part-time by his side. It is really difficult for her to support her family with a child.

Zhang Huahan continued to look at the map. Now all the big cities in Huguang are under the occupation of the Manchu Qing army, and only a few places in other places where the Manchu Qing troops were stationed are under their control. Under the control of the Revolutionary Army, even if it is not directly controlled, it is also indirectly controlled. Now the Chinese Revolutionary Army has actually gained the upper hand, and the Manchu Qing army is now unable to gather another army. They are all musketeers composed of 10 horses and [-] Han outsiders who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

When Zhang Huahan was thinking about how to destroy the enemy in the south of Huguang, a sentry came in and reported: "Report to Deputy Commander Zhang, there are [-] green battalion troops and [-] Eighth Banner cavalry coming towards us about fifty miles north of us, and Commander Xia Yunyi of the Eighth Division is leading the [-] soldiers of the Eighth Division to follow, please give instructions to the deputy commander."

Zhang Huahan quickly looked at the map, he looked at it and said: "This is the enemy army in the area Xia Yunyi is in charge of. This time the enemy has come out of the turtle shell. Okay, let the troops prepare for battle immediately and call some leaders over." The sentry went immediately up.

Altai, who was riding on the road, watched the [-] mighty army marching forward. He felt very uncomfortable. Since the [-] elite army in the southern part of his jurisdiction was wiped out, he has not had a peaceful night's sleep. He knows his army well. His [-] army sounds bluffing, but there are not many effective fighters. They all go out of the city to grab food and goods, and each one is better than the other. When they meet the Chinese Revolutionary Army, they will be cowards. Even the militia You can't beat it when you come, you can only rely on the danger to defend the city.Now it is estimated that a large force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is coming, otherwise the [-] elite will be wiped out. He was afraid that the next target would be himself. Suddenly, he thought of a good idea. He decided to lead most of the troops in his jurisdiction to the Yunnan-Guizhou area Joining the elite main force, even if he loses his territory, the court will not punish him severely, and he will not be in any danger if he acts with the large army, and if he wins the battle with the main force, he will be able to gain glory, so he will divide the area under his jurisdiction Most of the troops were mobilized and immediately dispatched to march southwest. Now the total number of troops in all the cities under his jurisdiction is less than [-].

Altai chose to march on flat roads, and sent a large number of scouts to reconnaissance when encountering dangerous places that could not be detoured. Altai's cautious advance delayed a lot of time, but he did not encounter a large number of Chinese Revolutionary Army troops. When encountering a small number of Chinese Revolutionary Army militia units in the form of guerrillas, they ran away before contacting them, but Altai found that all the people in the villages on the way they passed had run away without even raising a grain of food. He was about to run out of food, so he immediately decided that the entire army would only drink two meals of porridge, and only the elite of the Eight Banners and the generals would not have less food.After he implemented this order, deserters began to appear in his army. Altai's head hurts now. It is very easy to grab food in his jurisdiction. After all, the randomness is very strong. Even if the Chinese Revolutionary Army has spies in its army, it cannot always I got the information, and there are only a few roads for me now. It is estimated that the Chinese Revolutionary Army got the news and evacuated the people, food and property from the villages along the road, and I could only run more to grab food.

At this moment, several scouts came back on horseback, got off their horses and knelt down in front of Altai's horse, and a leader of the scouts said: "Report to the general, a large number of strong men were found carrying grain in the forest about ten miles to the west." Altai said: "You Are you sure it’s food?” The leader of the scouts said, “Yes, a wheelbarrow was overturned and the rice was scattered all over the ground.” After hearing this, Altai immediately asked them to lead the way and put the large army on standby, and he personally led a thousand The elite of the Eight Banners and five thousand green battalion soldiers rushed to grab food.

After Altai brought 6000 people to the mountain forest, he saw more than 1000 strong men carrying sacks and bottles to the depths of the forest, but there were no animals, only wheelbarrows and wooden carts, and the speed was very slow.

Altai rushed into the woods with 6000 people, and the more than 1000 strong men ran away when they saw them. Altai led 6000 people to the carts carrying grain. Altai cut open a sack with a knife and found that there were It was straw, and he immediately opened another jar, and there was a smell of bright oil. When he was about to call out to retreat, flints and rockets shot from all directions.

The altar next to Altai was hit by a flint, and huge sparks exploded immediately. Altai was covered in fire, he struggled, and the pain was so great that in his mind, the Han people he had slaughtered and the women and girls he had raped and murdered appeared in his mind. They, he shouted and danced wildly, spreading his own fire to other soldiers, and igniting the straws with his own fire.

Most of the 6000 people led by Altai were burned to death or shot to death by random arrows. More than 300 people surrendered, and less than [-] people escaped.

The more than 9 Green Battalion soldiers on standby suddenly heard the screams of killing around them. They found that they were surrounded by enemies. A large number of arrows and rocks were thrown at them, and countless muskets fired bullets at them. They were surrounded.

At this time, the more than 200 remnant soldiers ran back and saw more troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They were frightened and immediately chose to surrender.

Xia Yunyi led the soldiers of his own division and the more than 3 militiamen he brought with him to rush up from the left flank, and Zhang Huahan also commanded more than 6 militia troops to rush up from the right flank. Lifted up, over their heads, they yelled, "We surrender, we surrender."

There were less than 1000 Manchu Qing soldiers who resisted, and they won almost without fighting. When Zhang Huahan saw Xia Yunyi, he said: "You pick 4 captives and add them to the militia in your charge while reforming them. Hurry up and support the other soldiers." In this area, everyone strives to wipe out all the enemies in Huguang within half a year, and I will take people to the Yunnan-Guizhou area to cooperate with the local militia to hold the enemy." Xia Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Deputy Commander Zhang, you bring [-] militiamen and [-] It's too dangerous to take more prisoners!" Zhang Huahan smiled and said: "War itself is a dangerous thing for us. If you are afraid of danger, don't be a soldier. Since you are a soldier, you must not be afraid of death. Go and execute my orders." Xia Yunyi After hearing this, he said: "Deputy Commander, take care." He went to dispatch people.

After Xia Yunyi left, Zhang Huahan recruited many eloquent people to do persuasion work first, especially to do ideological persuasion work on the new captives, explaining the policies of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to them in detail.A few days later, Zhang Huahan immediately summoned militia leaders to make the final mobilization of more than 4 prisoners.

At the mobilization meeting, Zhang Huahan first said: "Brothers, most of us are Han brothers, and there are also a few Manchu brothers and Mongolian brothers. No matter what ethnicity we are, we are all members of the Chinese nation. The founders of the 5000-year Chinese civilization, we were originally brothers, but now we are constantly fighting with each other. Do you know that the current wars are caused by those rich and powerful who want to kill us for their own selfish desires and to be our rulers? We Why do you want to be their tool? Our Chinese Revolutionary Army is our own army, and we fight for our own fields and our own happiness. Most of you are from Huguang. If you have family members in the countryside, you may know about them. situation, you should fight for them, fight against the corrupt Manchu Dynasty, fight against all inequality, and fight for our tomorrow."

After speaking to the captives, Zhang Huahan communicated with the militia leaders about his ideas and combat plans, and then sent the trained propaganda experts to give propaganda speeches to brainwash the captives. After the brainwashing, he then asked the captives to choose two paths. One is to be a militiaman of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the other is to get the travel expenses to go home, but those Manchus have to be sent to the rear to be reformed for a period of time to receive another brainwashing education.Of the 2 captives, more than [-] were willing to join the militia, and the rest were really unwilling to be soldiers and were willing to go back to their hometowns to live, but they all said that they would never join the Qing government.

After Zhang Huahan organized the prisoners, he immediately dispatched troops. He left some militiamen to maintain local order, and marched towards the Yunnan-Guizhou area with [-] militiamen.

When the army developed, Zhang Huahan led the horse and whispered to Xiaoyue beside him: "Xiaoyue, after the unification of China, we will get married, do you want to?" Xiaoyue blushed and said: "You can do whatever you want Do it, I'm going to follow you anyway." Zhang Huahan happily got on his horse and said to Xiaoyue who got on the horse: "Go, my love, victory belongs to us."
