The Sun Never Sets Great China

Chapter 85 Raid and Counterattack

There was so much snow that people couldn't see the scene ahead clearly. After dark, the gloomy clouds made the ground even darker, and the visibility was weakened to the limit.

The two musketeers standing guard on the watchtower shivered and walked back and forth. They had thrown the cold iron musket aside a long time ago. Although the watchtower had a roof to block the heavy snow, the wind was blowing so high. , They on the sentry tower without walls were blown by the cold wind and made curses.

Suddenly one of the Manchu sentry found his companion fell down. He thought that the other party was so cold that he could not bear to lie down. Suddenly he felt a strange pain in his neck, and then he couldn't breathe. He wiped his neck and found it Being pierced by an arrow, he felt that he lost everything, and his eyes fell into darkness.

The sentry on the other lookout post saw a black spot getting closer and closer to him. From his pupils, he could see a sharp arrow quickly approaching and shooting into his chest, followed by his neck. He and his head were shot through by several flying arrows, and another sentry beside him was also shot to death by several arrows. The blood that flowed out of them was quickly frozen, and their bodies became more and more stiff .

At the gate of the barracks tent, most of the musketeers guarding the camp had been frozen inside to light a fire in the tent near the gate to warm up. Only one soldier who was excluded was left standing guard, and a group of guards were warming up in the camp When secretly drinking, they didn't realize that there was only one dead body with arrows in its vitals under the gate.

The Manchu and Qing sergeants who were patrolling the camp returned to their camps to warm up. It was so cold and snowy that people were almost frozen to death. Besides, it is impossible for the enemy to invade in such weather. Now the regular troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are attacking The last batch of nail cities in the south, at least have to wait for the beginning of spring to fight in Henan. As for the army in Henan?After many rounds of encirclement and suppression, they only amounted to 8 to [-] people, and even if they had the courage, they would not dare to attack the garrison barracks with [-] troops.

The guarding soldiers in the military tent near the gate suddenly noticed a lot of black shadows coming in, and the sound of "swish, swish, swish" sounded, and the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers of the Manchu Qing army were immediately filled with arrows, and they all turned into black shadows. Hedgehogs, several men in white coats, white hats and white gloves came and stabbed their vital organs one by one, for fear that they would not die.

At this time, the gate of the Manchu army camp was wide open, and countless soldiers came in from the outside, and one by one they entered the tents and massacred the Manchu soldiers who were still sleeping. It's getting bigger.

In the big tent of the military camp, the chief general Tsani felt movement around him in his sleep, and someone was in front of his bed. He woke up suddenly. He found that his neck was numb, and then he felt that he was beginning to lose consciousness in the dark, and was losing consciousness. Before he became conscious, he saw a lot of white-clothed soldiers appearing in front of him, his bodyguards covered in arrows on the ground, and the handsome man closest to him who killed him turned out to be the one on the wanted warrant. Zhang Huahan, the bandit leader of the famous Chinese Revolutionary Army, has ridiculed his subordinates more than once that there is no one in the Chinese Revolutionary Army. First humiliate this man with a beautiful face and then brutally kill this Zhang Huahan. Unexpectedly, not only did he not kill this handsome man today, but let this Zhang Huahan kill him.

On the one hand, they were prepared, and on the other hand, they were caught off guard. Almost all the generals of the Qing Dynasty and their bodyguards were slaughtered by the Spikes, and some soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who found something wrong came out and saw a large number of enemies. Immediately after that, he shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy has come in!"

A lot of disheveled Manchu and Mongolian soldiers came out with their weapons in hand, hacking and fighting with the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army not far from their camp.The crowd fought desperately in the heavy snow, and some people were cut and pierced, and their blood was spilled on the snow-white ground. The soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground were soon frozen to death, and their blood and minced meat mixed into the snow-white ground and dyed blood red. , Screams and muffled groans before dying can be heard endlessly.

Seeing more and more people resisting, the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who used muskets and quick guns started shooting with thin gloves. The gunshots continued like fried beans, and a large number of Manchu rebels were killed one after another. More The musketeers of the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty who were awakened did not know how many enemy troops had come. Anyway, they saw that they were surrounded by sneak attack troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They all surrendered one after another when they saw the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army who were killed. The rebellious Manchu Qing army Without the command of the generals, they all fell into a mess and fought on their own.

"The main general Tsani is dead, surrender quickly, surrender without killing." "All the generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have been killed by us, you surrender quickly, surrender without killing." The morale of the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing quickly dropped, There are fewer and fewer rebels, and countless surrenders.

In this sneak attack, members of the Spike Special Forces killed 14 people and injured 43 others. Through their performance, Zhang Huahan also felt that these soldiers of the Spike Special Forces were indeed much worse than the Spike Fang, but the Spike was after all better than ordinary soldiers. The fighters are much stronger, and they can win in the face of several times the enemy.

This time, Zhang Huahan and others obtained a large amount of food, ammunition, guns and countless military supplies, captured more than [-] soldiers who surrendered from the Manchu Qing army, and killed a large number of Manchu generals, nearly [-] soldiers from the Eight Banners and the muskets of the Green Camp Army. Bing, with less than [-] casualties, is really a great victory.

There were a lot of beef, mutton, pork and a large amount of rice and white noodles in the barracks of the Manchu Qing army. Zhang Huahan distributed these meat and grains to various troops and nearby villagers. The Spring Festival will be in more than half a month, and let them have a good year.

It’s the Spring Festival, and Zhang Huahan and Xiaoyue don’t even have a home. The Hangzhou residence that Huang Ziya arranged for Zhang Huahan was also sold by Zhang Huahan to a big family in Jiangnan to raise money for the education city. Zhang Huahan only lives in the office of the Jiangnan Chinese Revolutionary Army Headquarters There is a place to live, but it is too shabby for him to call this place his home.

Years of wars have left Zhang Huahan drifting with the crowd and living without a fixed place. If there is still a home, it is the original Qian Mansion in Nanjing. However, after the Chinese Revolutionary Army occupied Nanjing, Zhang Huahan did not bother to look at it, and Xiaoyue’s time was also delayed. Tight, I came to accompany Zhang Huahan when I had time, so I didn't go back there.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huahan turned his head and held Xiaoyue's hand, and looked at Xiaoyue with apologetic eyes. Xiaoyue could read his mind, shook her head at him, and leaned against his chest with a smile. language explanation is required.

I wanted to go back to the Jiangnan headquarters to spend a good year in the farmhouse in Henan after the new year, but before the new year passed, on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the Manchu Qing army's counterattack army arrived.A hundred miles to the west of Fucheng City in Kaifeng, there is a place called Niujia Village near the Yellow River. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month has just passed, the weather is clear and cloudless, the cold wind is blowing slightly, the dead grass is swaying with the wind, and the trees covered in silver A few flakes of snow were shaken off by the violent vibration.

A tragic massacre is unfolding outside Niujia Village. Dozens of cannons from the artillery of the Manchu Qing Army are bombarding Niujia Village violently, while soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are taking more than [-] cannons captured by the Manchu Qing Army from a mountain village. Pushed out of the cave, moved to the east of Niujia Village near the entrance of the village behind the trenches and began to bombard the Manchu and Qing troops under the protection of the soldiers in the trenches.

Liu Yujie, the leader of the militia of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, stood in the dug trench and directed the soldiers to fight.The Qing army actually brought a total of more than 80 cannons this time, trying to blast the small village into pieces.If it weren't for the fact that the cannons on one side were hidden in the caves and because Niujia Village occupies a good location, the range is farther than that of the Qing army, and the trenches and anti-cannon hiding spots are complete, if it is given to the unprepared army, I am afraid that it will only be used. Bomb, and you lose.However, the militia fighters of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are also used to the bombardment of cannons. After all, they are the people who survived the bloody battles that were encircled and suppressed many times.

The chief general of the Manchu Qing army, Yue Le, was also on the front line to supervise the battle. For this shame and for the stability of Henan, he personally led an elite army to conquer the bandit army. Fight back, but this is not the fundamental solution after all. After the artillery battle just now, more than 40 of his cannons have been destroyed by the cannons of the Chinese Revolutionary Army from high to low. The revolutionary army was evenly matched, so Yue Le was also very anxious.

What made Yue Le even more anxious was that there was no news of success from the other Qing army that wiped out the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and that Qing army also failed to meet at the scheduled location, and it may have been entangled by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.The Manchu Qing army led by him spent a long time in this inconspicuous and not strategically important place. It really did not conform to the usual style of mobile warfare of the Manchu Qing army. The soldiers were tired. If they could not break through this small village on a relatively high terrain quickly, then the Qing army might return home without gaining anything.

The artillery shells of the Qing army kept falling on both sides of the trench, splashing snow waves and dust flying one by one. After a while, the cannons of the Chinese Revolutionary Army moved over again, and soon began to shoot, and the bullets flew non-stop. Come over, land on the artillery positions of the Qing army, and explode into fireworks one by one, blowing up the artillery of the Qing army.

"Ma De, if you don't occupy the ground, you will suffer a disadvantage. What is the purpose of building such a high place for a dilapidated village?" Yue Le had no choice but to order the artillery positions to continue to move.He watched those artillerymen moving the cannons in a hurry, and he was secretly worried. Suddenly, Jia Gui, the Han counselor next to him, had some bad intentions in his heart, and he came up with a trick, bent over obsequiously and whispered in Yue Le's ear. After a while, Yue Le couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and said: "This plan is wonderful! This plan is wonderful! If you use this plan, you will be able to defeat the enemy!" A poisonous plan immediately formed in Yue Le's heart.

Zhang Huahan, who came to support, led the main force of 23 Chinese Revolutionary Army militiamen and [-] Chinese Revolutionary Army regular troops to Niujia Village at noon on the [-]rd of the twelfth lunar month. Encountered, the battle started when neither side was fully prepared.

The 1 Manchurian and Han Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchu Qing Army and the 1 and [-] cavalry troops of the Manchu Qing Army Han Chinese cavalry took advantage of the unstable position of the Chinese Revolutionary Army led by Zhang Huahan, and launched an offensive. The battle was extremely fierce.

Zhang Huahan divided the army into three parts, each with about 2000 people. The three troops spread out in the shape of "pin", each about two hundred feet apart, and each army formed a fan shape. The three troops sandwiched artillery and four thousand cavalry In the middle, the artillerymen formed a circle with their muzzles facing outwards, using blasting bullets, grape bullets and flowering bullets to shoot at the Qing army outside the formation, while the four thousand cavalry were responsible for protecting the artillery, and dispersed with the pikemen behind the fan formation. A small number of Qing cavalry in the formation.

The place where the two sides fought was more than ten miles away from Niujia Village. The abandoned Wangjia Village was located in the southwest of Niujia Village. Therefore, the artillery of Niujia Village could not support them, and they could only rely on themselves.

Relying on their fast speed and accurate bows and arrows, the cavalry of the Qing army unscrupulously interspersed left and right in front of the Zhenlu army. Although they still failed to break into the formation, they did a great deal of damage to the Chinese Revolutionary Army. In the rain, people in the Chinese Revolutionary Army kept falling and dying.

The soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army kept their formation all the time, and the soldiers swept towards the Qing army with dense bullet rain, so that every time the Qing army killed a soldier of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, they would have to pay three times or even five times the price. The spearmen's close combat blocked them, and they were still unable to break through the opponent's formation.

Zhang Huahan stood in the middle of the artillery array, directing the artillery to shoot.Whenever he saw a group of Qing army cavalry running towards a certain direction, Zhang Huahan commanded the artillery to shoot first at the road section that the Qing army was about to pass. The explosion exploded in the cavalry of the Qing army, setting off dirt, iron and lead pellets, iron filings, and broken limbs. The Qing soldiers fell from their horses amidst the roar of the explosion and the wailing of the personnel.

The battle was fought very hard, the Chinese Revolutionary Army remained in chaos, but the Qing Army did not retreat, so the stalemate persisted.Seeing that the cavalry of the Qing army were gradually losing ground, Yue Le quickly ordered the [-] besieging infantry to go to support them.

Seeing this, the militia troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army guarding on the hillside ignored the artillery bombardment of the Qing army. .But the Qing infantry eventually went to support the cavalry.

Seeing this, Liu Yujie, the militia leader of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, was immediately anxious. He wanted to go out to fight the Qing army, but his own troops only had [-] troops, and thousands of people died after a fierce battle. Playing out is a dream.When he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly saw a large army approaching from the southeast. Due to the distance, he couldn't tell which army the opponent was from.When the army approached, it was only when they saw that they were wearing camouflage uniforms that they recognized it as a regular army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

The regular troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that came were a reorganized division and a military formation. One was the 5000 troops of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Revolutionary Army led by Hou Yongxi, and the other was the 5000 troops of the division led by Zhao Qijin. [-] people and Li Erdan brought him [-] people from his own troops to support him. The troops he brought together totaled [-] soldiers.

It turned out that after Hou Yongxi took down the cities occupied by the Manchu Qing army in Sichuan, Zhao Qijin also took down the "nail" cities he attacked.The militia units of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in Henan were brutally encircled and suppressed, and Zhang Huahan went to supervise the army in person. After Hou Yongxi, Li Erdan and Zhao Qijin learned the news, Li Erdan stepped up his attack on the "nail" city he had reserved as a strategic target, and at the same time gave Zhao Qijin He asked him to take the [-] troops sent to his division to Henan for emergency treatment, while Zhao Qijin personally led the army to join Hou Yongxi's army.After the three armies converged fifty miles outside Nanyang City, they knew about Zhang Huahan's great victory. However, it was estimated that the Manchu Qing army would counterattack, and the three armies went to support Zhang Huahan near Kaifeng. And a lot of troops were mobilized, so they didn't dare to compete with this more than [-] Chinese revolutionary army. They all guarded their own cities and prayed to gods and Buddhas to bless this army from attacking their cities.In this way, they traveled day and night without any hindrance, and finally arrived at Zhang Huahan's most critical moment.

This huge new force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army lined up as soon as it arrived on the battlefield. Hou Yongxi judged the situation and knew that Zhang Huahan could still hold on. camp.

Seeing the arrival of more than [-] well-equipped regular troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Yue Le hurriedly sent [-] infantry back to help, but they could not quench their thirst far away. He came over and pressed down on the Qing army, who was pressed and slowly retreated down the slope of Niujia Village.

At this time, Liu Yujie lost no time in dispatching nine thousand soldiers out of the trenches and shooting from the rear of the Qing army from high to low.The Qing army has nothing to do with the bullets coming from behind. They want to continue to charge up, but they have not attacked for so long. It is impossible to charge up in a predicament. , In fact, it was shot in vain.

Nine thousand militia soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army quickly loaded and fired. The dense guns caused many Manchu soldiers to be shot and killed. In the sky, stumps were scattered all over the ground, and many living Manchu soldiers were smashed on the head by their stumps. In addition to the rapid shooting of more than [-] soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the spirits of the soldiers of the Manchu Qing army almost collapsed.

The dense gunfire continued, and the rumble of artillery fire continued, and Hou Yongxi and Zhao Qijin did not bring artillery in order to hurry, so the regular army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army led by them did not seize a large number of artillery from the Manchu Qing Army. The attack was sharp, but their quick guns also caused the Manchu and Qing troops to be knocked down as soon as they rushed up, including the elite Eight Banners cavalry of the Manchu and Qing clans. The situation of the Manchu Qing army was in crisis.
