The Sun Never Sets Great China

Chapter 97 The real "empty city" plan

While the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the barracks was laughing and laughing, and countless soldiers and militiamen were happily watching the show, there was one person who was worried, and he was Liu Fengqing.Under Dahari's assignment, he left Yangzhou City, contacted the Chinese Revolutionary Army militiamen, and with their help, he sneaked into the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp. After discovering the abnormality of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, he wanted to go back and report to his master. .

But when he was about to go out of the camp of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, he found that the gate of the barracks was closed tightly, and hundreds of soldiers stood by the gate with a murderous look, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.Seeing this scene, he didn't know what happened, so he had to wait and see what happened for a while, and continued to live in the camp, and sent his men to investigate.But his subordinates quickly ran back and told him that the Chinese Revolutionary Army's tents were only allowed to enter but not to exit.

At the beginning, he felt that the Chinese Revolutionary Army was in chaos, and Liu Fengqing was overjoyed, so he waited with peace of mind.But the next day he realized that something was wrong, because the so-called chaos did not mean any real chaos at all, and they were in neat formation and unified orders. Even setting fire was to set up logs in the cleared space It was burning, and from time to time, some horse manure and wet grass were sprinkled on it to make the black smoke more and thicker.Liu Fengqing faintly felt that there was a conspiracy in it, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

After sitting in a daze for a while, he suddenly realized that the Chinese Revolutionary Army might be trying to lure Dahari from Yangzhou City to attack.If it had been changed a few days ago, he would have hoped that Dahari would attack immediately so as to wipe out the Chinese Revolutionary Army as soon as possible, but now he hesitated again because his cronies secretly told him that there was a handsome Chinese Revolutionary Army's highest military officer in the military tent. Inside, even Master Chen Zilong was respectful and respectful when he saw that person, and he made it so clear that if Liu Fengqing didn't know who that person was, he would be a fool. Zhang Huahan is definitely not that easy to deal with. The generals are all folded in his hands. Everything he does is deliberate. Now that he has acted like this to lure Dahari, it means that he must be doing the bait!

Liu Fengqing was very anxious, because according to the prior agreement, he should return to Yangzhou immediately after hearing the news in the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks. According to the information from many sources, he learned that in addition to Zhang Huahan's main force, there were two other groups of Chinese Revolutionary Army According to analysis, this date will be about ten days later.

He learned that the troops of the two routes of the Chinese Revolutionary Army looked down on Yangzhou, and Dahari retreated to Yangzhou City because he coveted the wealth of Yangzhou. After entering Yangzhou City, he fell into a situation surrounded by four sides. However, Dahari was only afraid of the great reputation and powerful force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, so he retreated in Yangzhou City and dared not attack alone. Taking advantage of the fire, I am afraid that before Dahari arrives at the main barracks of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to attack Zhang Huahan, I am afraid that other armies of the Chinese Revolutionary Army will attack Yangzhou. Once the Chinese Revolutionary Army captures Yangzhou City, Dahari will not have any victory In this way, Dahari will have no place to stay. At that time, I am afraid that he will either flee north or be wiped out by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengqing couldn't sit still anymore. He organized half of his subordinates and wanted to forcefully rush out through the north gate, but those sent out were blocked because they didn't have Zhang Huahan's warrant, so they couldn't get out at all. When they tried to force their way into the barracks, they were all shot to death on the spot, and in this way, they attracted Zhang Huahan's attention. The Chinese Revolutionary Army's patrols in the barracks became stronger, and people were sent to check every unit to check for spies from time to time. .

If one move fails, another move will be made. Liu Fengqing sent someone to check near the wall of the military village to see if he could climb out of the wall.But he soon discovered that although there were not many soldiers on the wall, there were three posts at the base of the wall in the military camp, and one sentry at five steps. No one could get close to the wall.

Finally, he thought of another way. He sent someone to shoot the letter out of the city with a bow and arrow, and promised a reward of 1 taels of silver on the letter, hoping that someone who could read and write would pick up the letter and send it to Dahari in Yangzhou. But because they could not get close to the wall of the village, all the arrows fell into a place not far from the military village, and some of them were picked up by soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.

This move has attracted great attention from the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They knew that the spies who had entered the barracks were not limited to those who rushed to the gate of the barracks some time ago, so they launched a large-scale search of the entire barracks and arrested several of Liu Fengqing's subordinates at once, so , he had to escape alone. He hid in the thatched haystack of the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks, because although his subordinates knew very little, they knew him after all, and they also knew that he was in China. In the barracks of the Revolutionary Army.Sure enough, as Liu Fengqing expected, half an hour after he left the militia of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army immediately and thoroughly searched the militia of the Chinese Revolutionary Army where he was staying. And took the captain of the militia team that led the Chinese Revolutionary Army back for questioning.After such a toss, Liu Fengqing could only stay in the haystack honestly, and never thought about going out of the city to report the news, and hid in the haystack wholeheartedly.

Just when Liu Fengqing was hiding in Tibet like a mouse, there was a burst of hearty laughter from the commander's mansion in Dahari's camp in Yangzhou City.The laughter came from Dahari. He was sitting in the big tent, holding a wine glass in his hand, and persuaded the generals sitting on both sides to drink: "I am happy today, so please come and have a few drinks. Everyone Don't be restrained, drink up the wine in the glass!"

The generals below immediately raised their wine glasses, and praised the old general for being considerate of his subordinates and enjoying themselves with everyone.After finishing the wine in the glass, one of them asked, "I don't know why the general is so happy?" Dahari stroked his beard, put down the wine glass, and said, "Haha, I have some good news for you today!" Said After that, he ordered his soldiers: "Go, call them all in!"

Everyone looked out of the tent in bewilderment, only to see three Han people walking in with the soldier.Two of these three were officers of the Manchu Qing army, while the other was a man dressed as a businessman.Most of the two officers knew each other, but the businessman was a little unfamiliar.As soon as the three of them came in, they knelt down one after another, and said in their mouths: "See the general!" Dahari said: "Okay, get up! Zhao Guerrilla, tell everyone what you found out!"

Then Zhao Guerrilla said: "Yes! The last general was ordered to go to the vicinity of the Chinese Revolutionary Army's barracks this morning to investigate, and found that there was indeed a civil strife in the Chinese Revolutionary Army's barracks. There was gunfire, and the soldiers on the top of the city mingled together to grab food. It was really lively! The last general went to check the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks across the river, and found that the camps were empty, and All the edible things were gone, and the last general also found a few burnt bones of birds, mice and other animals in the camp, and there were traces of scraping with knives on them. It seems that the lack of food in the Chinese Revolutionary Army was not rumor."

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the generals, Dahari said: "The thing is like this. A few days ago, Zhang Wenyuan and General Manager Zhang Wenyuan went to the canal to check and found a businessman who came from the south. The one standing there. By the way, what's your name? Tell us about the chaos in the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp!" Dahari said to the businessman.

The businessman clasped his fists and said, "The villain's name is Chen Dashan. He is a businessman from Nanjing. He is now doing food business near Yangzhou City. After the imperial army fought with the troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, many of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were scared away by the imperial army, oh no , ran away in fear, no, they were rioters, yes, they were rioters who refused to obey the imperial order and entered Yangzhou City according to the general's order. The people quickly ate up all the food in the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army, in order to be a good person and buy a reputation, did not hesitate to take out all the military rations to help those disorderly people. As a result, the army began to lack food. They thought they could bring food from Luzhou, but they were robbed by General Tu Hai halfway through the food, and not a single grain of rice was delivered. Since three days ago, the Chinese Revolutionary Army has completely run out of food. Cats and dogs were killed and eaten, and eating mice and digging wild vegetables had already begun. In order to grab food, some Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers clashed with Chinese Revolutionary Army troops guarding food and patrolling. It was almost time to use a knife and a gun! In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Chinese Revolutionary Army collected grain at a high price and sent people to collect grain everywhere. The villain is also greedy for money, so he took the risk and went to the south to try his luck. You can’t buy food, you know, the price promised by the Chinese Revolutionary Army is one tael of silver per catty! It’s a little more than the one tael of silver and three catties of rice you promised, General. Use it, please forgive the villain! Spare the villain!" After speaking, he knelt down again and kowtowed non-stop.

Dahari said with a smile: "Didn't this general say it? As long as what you said is true, this general will spare you. Now Zhao Guerrilla's words prove that you are not lying, so you can go, but you brought The 5000 taels of silver and some rice grains used to buy rice cannot be returned to you, so it will be treated as a punishment! How about it? Do you have any objections?"

Chen Dashan immediately said: "The villain is grateful to the general for not killing! The villain is willing to give all the money and food!" Dahari glanced at the crowd and said: "This time Zhao Gueran has made a lot of contributions, and he should be well rewarded. Fan, this general will promote him to be a general now. As for General Zhang, he has also made great contributions. In this way, you will be restored to your original post and be your guerrilla general. But you will get along with General Zhao in the future. Stop arguing with him, now he is your commander, and you must obey his orders!"

Zhang Wenyuan and General Zhao, who was promoted to general, looked at each other. Zhang Wenyuan saw the mocking look in General Zhao's eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and thought: "One day, I will drive a scum like you out of the army !"

After the three of them got out of the tent, Dahari said: "The camp of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is in chaos now, and it is a good time to attack! The old man has already decided that most of the camp will leave Yangzhou City tonight, and the whole army will attack the Chinese army." The army of the revolutionary army is marching, and strives to reach the enemy's camp tomorrow evening. We must attack them by surprise and defeat the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They must think that I dare not go out to attack in Yangzhou City. This time, let them try my Qing court. The might of soldiers!"

One day later, in the evening at Youshi.Dahari's army has successfully arrived on the west bank of the canal. There was not even a single soldier of the Chinese Revolutionary Army along the way. The scouts sent out also sent back news that the gates of the Chinese Revolutionary Army's village were closed and thick smoke billowed inside the village. , There are not many soldiers on the wall.

In fact, Dahari has already seen the black smoke rising in the distance without the return of the horse. Although he can't see the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, but besides the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, is there any military camp in that direction?Liu Zeqing ordered the troops to cross the canal immediately. Although his generals advised him to wait until tomorrow when he was ready to cross the river, he could not wait any longer because one of his cavalry troops attacked a Chinese revolutionary army coming from the canal in the south of Yangzhou city. The grain transportation team, obviously, the Chinese Revolutionary Army has already started to transport grain from the canal to the army village. If we don’t seize the time to conquer the city in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to conquer the enemy when there is food in the army village and the morale of the army stabilizes. .

In order to cross the canal as soon as possible, Dahari ordered people to collect boats from nearby. Obviously, the Chinese Revolutionary Army had already taken away all the big boats, so after some searching, only a dozen small fishing boats were found.Dahari ordered his subordinates to connect these small fishing boats and put wooden boards on them to make a small pontoon bridge. Then he took the lead and rushed to the west bank of the canal.

When all the troops crossed the canal, it was already dark when they arrived at Haishi.Dahari didn't want to stay, he left 5000 people to guard the pontoon bridge on the canal, and then immediately led the whole army westward, fighting all the way, heading straight for the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp.

After nearly an hour of fast marching, Dahari's army finally arrived at a place two miles outside the Chinese Revolutionary Army's camp.Dahari was riding on a horse, trying hard to identify the wall of the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks, but the moon was completely blocked by clouds, and there was no light at all. Only the soaring fire in the city reflected the long wall of the wall. This is indeed the military stronghold of the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.Dahari summoned the generals, discussed for a while, and decided to launch an attack without waiting for the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops in the military camp to react, breaking the camp in one fell swoop.

He sent an order down, ordering the soldiers to form a siege formation, one-third of them holding torches, but there was no order not to light the torches.According to the report from the horse inspection, he ordered three of his generals to take 1000 people each to three earthen villages abandoned by the Chinese Revolutionary Army near the main army village. main force.At the same time, he ordered the artillerymen to set up the thirty red-clothed cannons brought with the army in a high-lying earthen village closest to the east of the Chinese Revolutionary Army's Zhaidong. The wall of Jundong Zhai was destroyed.

When everything was ready, Dahari waved the sword in his hand and ordered: "Attack forward! The army advances slowly!" Dahari had already known from Tan Ma that there were many refugee shacks outside the city. On the way forward, in order to prevent the refugees in the huts from making noise and alarming the defenders in the city, he ordered his lieutenant general to lead [-] soldiers as the vanguard, and walk half a mile in front of the Manchu army. All the refugees who were scared away by their capture were killed.

When the deputy general of the Qing army rushed in with his soldiers, he found that there were no refugees in those huts, only some bark and grass roots, and the only sound left in the silent refugee camp was the panting of the soldiers of the Qing army.It seems that these refugees fled to farther places after the Chinese Revolutionary Army also ran out of food.

After receiving the news from the deputy general that there were no refugees, Dahari immediately ordered the troops to change from slow to fast, and nearly [-] Manchu troops rushed to the wall of the military camp in the darkness.What makes Dahari happy is that the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the military camp has not moved at all until now, and there is no one on the wall of the military camp. It seems that they are really hungry and unable to move.He proudly ordered the lieutenant general to organize a siege death squad composed of a thousand Han Chinese, and climb up the wall of the village first.

Dahari's nephew, Aman, commanded the siege squad. He waved the waist knife in his hand and ordered: "Give it to me!" Following his order, the squad rushed to the edge of the wall and set up the wall. The Death Squadrons of the Manchu Qing army rushed in after reaching the wall of the village.

After rushing into the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, one by one tents were lying on the ground, military supplies and everything else was empty, only then did the soldiers of the Qing Army realize that there was no enemy in the entire Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, it was just an empty tent.

After Dahari saw all this, his face was stunned. At this time, a man covered in thatch ran from the side and shouted: "General Dahari, I want to see General Dahari." That person grabbed him, but that person struggled desperately and said, "I'm not a spy, I'm Liu Fengqing."

With a gloomy face, Dahari walked up to the thatch-covered person and saw that it was really Liu Fengqing, "Why are you here? Why didn't you go back and send me information?" "We were fooled! General Dahari." Hearing Liu Fengqing's words Dahari, who learned that he had been deceived by intelligence, immediately sank in his heart. Knowing that Yangzhou City was in danger, he immediately led the army back to the city. He thought that as long as his army returns quickly, even the Chinese Revolutionary Army can take Yangzhou. The city could not be controlled for a while. After all, there were still [-] Manchu Qing elites and [-] Green Battalion soldiers guarding there, as well as a large number of refugee cannon fodder. If you can rush back quickly, you can control the situation and drive away and defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
