scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 362

As Wang Xu, the general of the Fat Army, attacked the city wall of the south gate of Fanchang, and planted the all-white flag of the Fat Army on the dilapidated south gate tower, the Qing army in Fanchang City also completely lost its last hope, and began a complete collapse. collapse.The soldiers of the Qing army scrambled towards the only north gate that was not blocked by their own sacks of earth and rocks. The generals took off their armor in a panic, threw away the ugly helmet with the radar antenna, and picked up the bloody ordinary man from the dead. The soldiers put it on, and then quickly joined the team fleeing to the north gate, and the entire Fanchang city was in chaos.

Of course, it’s not that no one has worked hard to save the defeat. At least Leerjin’s right-hand man Garhan did not give up. However, after being forced to withdraw from the south gate wall, Garhan never led his troops to flee for his life. Instead, he tried his best to restrain the troops from breaking up. He took over the command of Leerjin and arranged for all the troops to escape. In order to reduce the losses of the Qing army when they broke through and retreated.

Not everyone is so loyal and sensible, especially Baka, who was designated by Leerjin, not only did not restrain the army to stop the pursuers after receiving the order, but took the lead in escaping from the north gate of Fanchang, and then the governor Yiribu also led Leading his own soldiers to join the fleeing team, in order to speed up the Fanchang City, which was covered by the fat army's shells and rockets, Yilibu also decisively ordered his own soldiers to kill the defeated soldiers who blocked him from escaping. Fanchang City.

In this way, it is difficult to imagine that there will be more chaos in Fanchang City. In order to escape from birth earlier, the soldiers and generals of the Qing army killed each other and trampled on each other. , Even if you want to squeeze out of the city earlier, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The cries and screams in the city are so loud that they merge with the explosion of the fat army's shells and rockets, and they go straight to the sky.

On the contrary, the Fat Man Army did not blindly launch a general attack when the chances of victory were assured, but methodically seized the city wall of Fanchang one by one, moved a large number of Sanhao rockets to the city wall, and bombarded the Qing soldiers in the city indiscriminately , further increased the chaos of the Qing army, and frantically killed and eliminated a large number of Qing army soldiers, laying a solid foundation for the next step to wipe out this Qing army team.

At this point in the battle, not to mention that Le Erjin has lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, even if Le Erjin is still awake, there will be no hope of recovering from it.As a last resort, Garhan had no choice but to send someone to contact Hu Shiying and other Qing army generals, asking them to restrain the army with all their strength, while arranging elite soldiers to escort Leerjin out of the city, and ordered: "At all costs, even if you sacrifice your life, you must Send Shuncheng Baylor to Digang!"

After sending off Leerjin, Garhan led the troops around him who could still command to the west gate of Fanchang, intending to remove the earthbags and stones that blocked the west gate of Fanchang and add a road out of the city.However, near the west gate of Defanchang, something happened that made Garhan furious. Hu Shiying, the deputy general of the Qing army who was supposed to stick to the city wall of the west gate, had disappeared. He was throwing grenades, sheep's head stones, and wood at the bottom of the city gate to prevent the defeated Qing army from opening the west gate. It was supposed to be a dilapidated city wall to protect the safety of the Qing army soldiers, but now it has become an obstacle to prevent the Qing army from escaping.

"General Kar, we can't get out of the west gate, let's retreat to the north gate!" The subordinate screamed, "If we don't leave, it may be too late."

"Would it be a way of life to go to the north gate?" Garhan smiled wryly, "Wu Gou deliberately gave way to the north gate. Could it be that he really wanted to leave us a way out of kindness?"

"Boom boom boom boom!" Before the words were finished, there was a continuous and violent explosion sound from the direction of the north gate, followed by a sky-shattering cry from the direction of the north gate.Although Garhan couldn't see what was going on outside the North Gate, he could guess that it must be the Fatty Army that had started to block the way out of the North Gate, and was about to wipe out the remaining Qing troops in Fanchang City.

It was at this time that the sound of artillery from the Fat Man Army, which had hardly stopped since the start of the war, suddenly stopped abruptly, and the sound of new slogans echoed on the city wall of Fanchang, "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!" One can vaguely hear someone shouting in mite language, "Brothers in mite state, surrender, the army of Dazhou is the army of benevolence and righteousness, don't kill the prisoners, surrender!"

"We are finished." Garhan sighed sadly, the steel knife quietly slipped from his hand, and muttered: "I hope Lord Baylor can escape back to Digang smoothly and join our sailors."

Garhan's last wish was doomed to be unfulfilled. After receiving the news of Fanchang's emergency, the commander of the Qing army's navy stationed [-] miles northwest of Fanchang, Ghent Batulu, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't bear to see his friendly troops. After being massacred wantonly by the Fatty Army, half of the troops, that is, [-] sailors, landed, handed over to his deputy Yang Jie, and rushed to Fanchang for rescue.However, Yang Jie's [-] sailors had just walked halfway, and the [-] fat cavalry led by Gao Hongchen had already rushed out from the side of the road. Yang Jie hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy, and the fat cavalry had already broken through the Qing army's sailors. The Qing army sailors, who were not good at land warfare, panicked and collapsed in an instant. They were chased and massacred like ducks by the ferocious fat cavalry, and countless dead fell.

"Withdraw from the way back and forth! Withdraw from the way back and forth!" Yang Jie, a good navy general of the Qing army, was also completely panicked, turned his horse's head and just shouted, "Quickly retreat to Digang, on land, we are no match for the Wugou cavalry.... "

"Hoo-!" A sudden arrow flew in and interrupted Yang Jie's cry. The arrow shot Yang Jie's left eye, from the eye to the brain.And more than 80 steps away, the fat cavalry general Gao Hongchen flicked the bowstring, and said with great pride: "After all, there is still no retreat."

As soon as Yang Jie died, the Qing army sailors collapsed even more completely. They dropped everything that could be thrown away, hugged their heads and just ran for their lives. The defeated soldiers fled all over the mountains and plains. At the same time, he dispatched a thousand cavalry to hunt down the Qing army's sailors, and ordered this army to hunt down to Digang, so as to cooperate with the Fatty Army's navy Li Jiyang to kill the remnants of the Qing army's navy.

When the Fatty Army cavalry chased the Qing army sailors and arrived at Digang, which was more than ten miles away, the area around Digang was already full of smoke, and the sound of artillery was loud. , Launched a strong attack on the Anqing navy of the Qing army, which was empty of troops.But this time, the Fatty Army Navy, who had been bullied by the Qing Army's Anqing Navy before, finally felt elated. Not only was its strength far superior to that of the Qing Army's Navy, but the number of warships and artillery was more than double that of the Qing Army. Many people were bombing around Digang, but Ghent Baturu didn't even dare to escape casually, so he could only struggle and support under the artillery fire of the Fatty Army Navy.

After more than half an hour of fierce bombardment, Li Jiyang's flagship launched the general attack flag. The fat man's warship turned its bow, rowed and rowed towards the Qing army fleet at full speed, threw grenades, smashed Molotov cocktails and set fire to the ship, approaching the Qing army sailors across the ship's side Fighting hand-to-hand, jumped onto the deck of the Qing army's warship, hacked and seized the ship with the Qing army's sailors, and kept shouting the slogan of "surrender without killing".Ghent Batulu also made up his mind to die. Not only did he not escape, but he also ordered the flagship to meet the flagship of the fat army, intending to take a gamble and try to capture the thief first and kill the rebel son of his old opponent Li Guodong, turning the tide in one fell swoop.

With a loud bang, the flagship of the Qing army and the flagship of the Fatty Army collided fiercely, but before Ghent Baturu ordered to jump off the ship to kill the enemy, the grenade and Molotov cocktails on the flagship of the Fatty Army had already smashed their heads and faces, and they were ready to jump off the ship to fight The soldiers of the Qing army cried and howled like ghosts and wolves. They were either blown up by grenades, or burned all over their bodies by Molotov cocktails.Immediately afterwards, the muskets on the flagship of the Fatty Army rang out, and the two ships protecting the flagship of the Fatty Army collided with the flagship of the Qing Army almost at the same time. Roaring and killing the few remaining Qing army sailors on the deck.

The battles were not limited to these battlefields. At the same time, in the southwest of Fanchang, in the area of ​​Huanghu Town, the only way for Fanchang to return to Tongling, the Fat Army Hutong Chunbu stationed here also ushered in the first escape from Fanchang. A wave of defeated Qing troops and Qing vanguards participated in the leadership of about [-] people from the Guarcha Department.Guarcha, who was the first to escape from Fanchang with little loss, made up his mind when he saw the infantry of the Fat Man Army intercepting him. He led the surviving troops to charge with all their strength, trying to break through the Fat Man Army's blockade and escape.

Although the abacus was well done, it is a pity that Guarcha met Hu Tongchun, who was known as a tough fighter in the fat army, and was first covered and bombed by the Sanhao rockets of the Hutongchun army, and then shot three rounds by muskets. Finally, they were bombed by grenades, and the three-dimensional waves struck down. There were very few Qing soldiers who could really rush to the fat army.Seeing the fat army officers and soldiers in filial piety clothes rushing up like a tidal wave with grinning grinning, Guarcha, who is very intelligent, immediately cut off the braids on his head with a knife, then dropped his weapon and knelt down, shouting in Chinese, "General Zhou! , my surname is Guarja, I surrender!"

At this time, the Fanchang battlefield was filled with panic-stricken defeated Qing soldiers. They had no organization, let alone organization. They just ran away in a hurry, while the pursuit of the fat army turned into a chase, shouting The slogan "Surrender but don't kill" followed the defeated soldiers of the Qing army, and when they caught up, they were cut and killed. There was no chance of surrender, and they were directly cut down by the soldiers of the Fat Man Army, using their blood to atone for their ancestors and themselves.

"There are big fish! There are big fish!"

During the pursuit, a group of fat infantrymen suddenly found Le Erjin being carried on a stretcher by Qing soldiers. Although Le Erjin could not be identified, all he could see was the armor on Le Erjin's body and the body carried by the stretcher. The soldiers of the Fat Man Army knew that they were lucky this time.Overjoyed, the soldiers of the Fatty Army cheered and rushed forward immediately. Le Erjin's soldiers resisted desperately, but the soldiers of the Fatty Army rushed too hard, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Fatty Army also gave up and rushed up to help. Le Erjin's soldiers soon began to gradually fall.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Le Erjin was awakened by the sound of shouting and fighting, and saw himself and a dozen of his own soldiers surrounded by the fat army, and heard the sound of mite crying and begging to escape in the distance , Le Erjin quickly understood the critical situation.With a long sigh, Le Erjin pulled the soldier holding his head with difficulty, and ordered: "Put me down, kill me, I can no longer be a prisoner."

"Lord Baylor, you can't." The soldiers cried loudly, "Don't worry, Lord Baylor, the servants will fight to the death to protect you."

"It's come to this point, I can't get out." Le Erjin sighed again, and said with difficulty: "Execute the order, I have been captured by Wu Dog once, and I don't want to be insulted again. If you still treat me as me It's your master, just help me, help me... the last one."

Under Le Erjin's repeated demands, the confidant finally let go of Le Erjin, and raised the steel knife to Le Erjin's heart, but his hands trembled, and he couldn't stab at anything.Seeing that Le Erjin was about to commit suicide, the soldiers of the Fat Man Army couldn't help but panic. They charged and beat, and rushed to Le Erjin in an instant. Le Erjin yelled, "Quick! Stab!"

The soldier was clever, and stabbed down subconsciously, the tip of the knife hit Le Erjin's heart, and as blood spattered, Le Erjin cursed again, "Child Zhangtai, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Forget it, Le Erjin tilted his head and was killed on the spot. The soldiers around him were also cut into pieces by the furious fat soldiers and chopped into meat paste.

When the news of Le Erjin's death in battle was sent back to the fat man's army flag formation outside the east gate of Fanchang, it was already dark, and the battle in Fanchang City was at its final stage. The army did not rush into the city recklessly to increase the casualties of their own army, but adopted the tactics of encircling but not attacking, sending the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who had been searched and rescued from the battlefield before to the city wall, and asked them to call for their companions to surrender, and repeatedly Emphasize the four-kill order of the Fat Man Army, declaring that except for the four evil surnames of Jiannu, other mite people can avoid death as long as they surrender.

Fatty Lu's despicable tricks had a miraculous effect. Seeing that they had become the shackles of the urn, and hearing that their companions surrendered, most of the thousands of Qing troops trapped in Fanchang City chose to abandon the dark and turn to the light, put down their weapons at the request of the fat man's army, and raised their hands Going out of the north gate to surrender to the Fat Man Army, only Garhan led the mite of the four surnames and a very small number of diehards to resist stubbornly. They also prevented their companions from surrendering and killed the Qing soldiers who were about to surrender. Sooner or later, there were even quite a few soldiers of the Qing army who raised their knives at these diehards—after all, there were only a handful of hardcore traitors who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Qing barbarians.

The battles on several battlefields are still going on, but when the victory is already decided, there is nothing wrong with the commander-in-chief, Fatty Lu. Fatty Lu, who has no power to restrain a chicken, can't pick up a knife and kill people himself, right? ?So Fatty Lu simply handed over the command to Han Daren temporarily, and summoned Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan to discuss the next step with them, and also to understand the military reports received recently.

Because of the route, the news of the Yangzhou Battlefield, the Yangtze Estuary Battlefield and the Huzhou Battlefield has not yet reached Fatty Lu, so Fatty Lu first learned about the situation of our Prince Zhang's army, and Yao Qisheng, who was in charge of collecting military information, reported to Fatty Lu: "Back to the general, the latest report received more than half an hour ago, the main force of Mangou on the western front led by Zhangtai, arrived in Huangchi Town yesterday morning, and there has been no movement so far."

"I really can't figure out what Prince Zhang thinks." Fatty Lu lamented, "I arrived at Huangchi Town yesterday morning, and it only takes half a day to attack Wuhu from the west and Gaochun from the east. It only takes one day to attack Taipingfu City in the north, and under the condition that the main force of our army is attacking Fanchang, two days and one night have passed, yet Prince Zhang is still standing still, what exactly is he planning to do?"

"The students are also surprised about this, why did he just sit still?" Yao Qisheng was also confused, and asked cautiously: "General, the students dare to ask a question that shouldn't be asked——Prince Zhang Taizhang, is it you?" Or Prince Pingxi bought and controlled the inside line, how about helping us like this? We want to fight Fanchang, and he will take away the main force of Mangou from around Fanchang. Annihilate Le Erjin calmly, don't even have to worry about the rear?"

"I'm more suspicious than you!" Fatty Lu said with great aggrievedness: "I also suspected that Prince Zhang was an insider bought by our prince, but he never contacted us and beat Xia Guoxiang so badly. I doubt it again. I wonder if he is my relative, but my family doesn't seem to have such a relative. I really don't know what he thinks."

"It may be due to phlegm obsessing the heart orifices, stagnation of qi and blood, and disharmony between yin and yang." Zhu Fangdan analyzed from a medical point of view: "You can use more medicines to soothe the liver and regulate qi, so as to calm the liver and subdue yang, regulate qi and activate blood."

"Okay, this kind of prince Zhang is a good prince, you'd better not cure him." Fatty Lu waved his hand quickly to stop Zhu Fangdan's kindness.

After a few jokes, Yao Qisheng turned the conversation to the main topic, and suggested: "General, the students think that it is best for our army to send an army back to Wuhu to help in the battle as soon as possible, and to fight with General Li Maozhu of Taiping Mansion. With the momentum of the horns, first deter Lord Zhang, so that he does not dare to make any changes, and after our main force returns to the division, we will plan to annihilate the main force of Mangou on the western front."

Fatty Lu didn't immediately agree. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Fatty Lu shook his head and replied: "I can't do this. I don't mean to underestimate the enemy. The key is what Prince Zhang will do next. I really can't guess. However, the [-] Mandogs in his hand are the real main force of the Mangous on the western front. There are more than [-] cavalrymen alone. They are fast in action and not weak in combat effectiveness. If we immediately divide our troops and return to Wuhu, Breaking the current stalemate in the eastern part of Taiping Mansion, I can't even guess what kind of miraculous move Prince Zhang will make."

Speaking of this, Fatty Lu paused, and added: "If you push Lord Zhang into a hurry and take his [-] main force to fight Gaochun and Liyang, and enter the hinterland of our army, it will be even more troublesome—we The territory is the essence of the land in the world, everything is good, the only shortcoming is that the strategic depth is too small, if we let Lord Zhang go to our hinterland to stir up trouble, we will have to cry."

"That's right." Yao Qisheng nodded, and echoed: "From the point of view of Prince Zhang holding back his troops, nine times out of ten he wanted to wait and see the situation, make a decision before making a move, and we returned to the teacher immediately, disrupting his wishful thinking. Maybe there will be some kind of miraculous move."

"Let's do it this way." Fatty Lu made up his mind and said, "Don't divide the troops for the time being, and try our best to wipe out the remaining Mangou on the Fanchang battlefield, and then let the army rest for a day, and wait for Prince Zhang to make a move, and it will not be too late for us to take action."

Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan agreed, and Fatty Lu ordered Zhu Fangdan: "Master Zhu, write a letter to Hu Guozhu to win the victory for me, telling him that we have defeated Le Erjin, please send troops to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, and join our army."

Zhu Fangdan agreed again, and when he hurriedly wrote a book under the torch and lantern, Fatty Lu grabbed the sparse mustache on his chin and thought to himself, "Is it strange? Logically speaking, after receiving Kang Mazi's personal expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, The news, no matter how stupid Hu Guozhu is, he should immediately send troops to the east, or at least make preparations for the east. When I and the main force of Mangou are in full swing, I will take the opportunity to enter the south of the Yangtze River. Why hasn't he sent troops or prepared to send troops so far? information?"

"Could it be that old man Wu Sangui's old fox wants to let Hu Guozhu pick a bargain after I have lost both sides in the battle with the Mangou emperor? It is possible that when I have lost both sides in the battle with Mangou's main force, the old fox will send troops to the south of the Yangtze River again. If you want to rebel, you don't have the confidence and strength, fuck! God damn old fox!"

"Also, the edict of old man Wu Sangui proclaiming the emperor and changing the Yuan Dynasty, and the official edict of ennobling me as the king of Yue County, why hasn't it been sent to Jiangnan? Calculated by the time and distance, it should have arrived earlier? Could it be that this old fox suddenly went back on his word, You don’t want to make me king again? But even so, he should give me an edict to proclaim the emperor and change the yuan, right?”

………………

Let's turn around and take a look at the situation of our only Prince Da Qingzhang who gave Fatty Lu a headache. As we said earlier, when Le Erjin found out that the situation was not good, he sent ten cavalry to escort the messenger out of the city on fast horses to Huangchi. Zhen asked Prince Zhang for help, but in order to force the most dangerous Prince Zhang to reveal his whereabouts first, Fatty Lu deliberately did not intercept this team of messengers and let Le Erjin's messenger break through to ask for help, so Le Erjin's messenger also broke through smoothly. Fatty's army blockade, and when it was getting dark that evening, he arrived at the small town of Huangchi, and dictated Le Erjin's message for help to Prince Zhang.Then……

"Take it down!" Our Prince Zhang slapped the table and shouted, "Push it out and chop it up!"

"Cover." Without saying a word, Prince Zhang's personal soldiers stepped forward and held down the messenger Le Erjin, who was so scared that the messenger Le Erjin killed the pig and screamed, Niyahan, Ehena and other Qing army generals also looked at each other , quickly came out to stop him, and asked: "My lord, what crime did this person commit and why did he have to be beheaded?"

"Why do you want to beheaded?" Prince Zhang stared, and shouted: "You can't see it? This so-called messenger is a fake! It is a fake messenger sent by Lu Yifeng's dog thief to trick us back to the teacher! In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", There are as many shallow schemes as this one!"

"My lord, I am wronged! The slave is the real messenger, the slave is the real messenger!"

"Fart! Since you are a real messenger, why did you only bring Leerjin's message? Didn't you bring Leerjin's token and autographed letter? This prince is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of strategy. How can you hide from my lord's lightning-like eyesight?"
