Chapter 454 Capture of Bozhou City

After a night of fun, Huang Xiaohu said goodbye to Zhao Yali and Zhang Yalan, and embarked on a journey to attack Bozhou.

When Huang Xiaohu's army arrived in Qingyang, the defenders of Qingyang felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, so Xiao Yu rode into the city alone to discuss with the Taiping Army guarding the city. After explaining the situation, Huang Xiaohu's army was able to pass smoothly.

A few days later, when the army arrived in northern Jiangsu, Huang Xiaohu still asked Xiao Yu to go to the city to explain the situation. At this time, the defender in northern Jiangsu was no longer Li Xiucheng, but they knew that Huang Xiaohu's army was preparing to attack Bozhou, so they let them go.

In this way, they arrived at Xiaoliang Town smoothly all the way, and then Huang Xiaohu ordered the whole army to set up camp for rest.

Xiao Yu found Huang Xiaohu and said: "Now is the time. I will go to Tianjing City alone to find out the news. The Chairman will continue to lead the army to Bozhou."

Huang Xiaohu said: "General Xiao, I trust you, I hope you will not disappoint my trust in you. Then I will trouble General Xiao to go to Tianjing City to find out the news, and I will lead the army to continue to Bozhou tomorrow."

After Xiao Yu made an agreement with Huang Xiaohu, he rode away from the camp overnight and headed directly to Tianjing City.

The next day, Huang Xiaohu's army continued to march, and when they came to Daliang Town, they encountered a group of Taiping troops.

Because there was no Xiao Yu as a middleman, the Taiping Army did not know the real movement and purpose of Huang Xiaohu's army, so the two armies clashed.

Huang Xiaohu didn't care too much, since it was the Taiping Army who took the lead, so Huang Xiaohu personally led people to wipe out this Taiping Army, and harvested more than 1000 surrendered soldiers, who were directly incorporated into his team by Huang Xiaohu.

After leaving Daliang Town, Huang Xiaohu continued to Bozhou, and arrived at a place called Guanzhen a day later.

Guanzhen was guarded by Qing soldiers, and it was also the barrier of Bozhou City, so there were more than [-] troops stationed here.

Huang Xiaohu didn't pay attention to Guan Zhen, because after so many battles now, Huang Xiaohu already knew his own strength very well, so he didn't pursue any tactics at all, and when the number of people was equal, he directly rushed in. Fight with the Qing army in Guanzhen.

Huang Xiaohu was invincible and unbeatable, so the three thousand soldiers he led unexpectedly went all the way to the commander-in-chief camp in Guanzhen, and then directly killed a Qing army commander-in-chief.

The Qing army in Guanzhen was defeated, and thousands of people surrendered, and then the rest who survived fled to Bozhou.

So Huang Xiaohu ordered to set up camp in Guanzhen and check the battlefield by the way.

After resting for a day, Huang Xiaohu called several regiment-level generals to discuss the next steps.

Huang Xiaohu said: "Now we are very close to Bozhou, and our attack on Bozhou this time is just a formality. What do you think we should do after defeating Bozhou? Hold it, or evacuate?"

Jia Lin said: "Why don't you let the Taiping Army take over Bozhou City, what will the president think?"

A group leader said: "If you take down Bozhou, you must not give up. After all, how can you just give the city that was taken down so hard to other people?"

Another group leader also said: "Master President, are you worried that we won't be able to defend Bozhou?"

Jia Lin said: "The power of our Shenlonghui is mainly in the area of ​​Qingyuan City. This time we attacked Bozhou from a distance, mainly to solve the crisis in Weiyang City. If we send troops to garrison it, Bozhou City will be an isolated city. Once the Qing army comes to attack In the case of Bozhou City, we have no response and no backup, so the situation is very critical."

Huang Xiaohu said: "I'm not interested in Bozhou City. If any of you want to defend it, I can leave some soldiers and horses for you to garrison. But once the Qing army attacks Bozhou, are you going to defend it to the end?"

Jia Lin said: "My lord, why don't you take Bozhou City first and then discuss it?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's okay, anyway, there is still more than a day's journey to reach Bozhou City, and there may be an ambush by the Qing army along the way, so everyone should cheer up and don't underestimate the enemy!"

At the end of the meeting, Jia Lin stayed alone and said to Huang Xiaohu: "Master President, Bozhou City must not be guarded."

Huang Xiaohu asked, "Why?"

Jia Lin said: "The nearest city outside Tianjing is Bozhou. If the Shenlong Society guards Bozhou, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be willing to help guard Bozhou, but in the end Bozhou will be an isolated city, and it will anger the Qing army. At that time, our Shenlong Society will be defeated instead. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has come to the fore."

Huang Xiaohu said: "What you said is also reasonable, so what do you think should be done?"

Jia Lin said: "The city of Bozhou was taken down and then given to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a bargaining chip in exchange for the treasure of Xilongshan. It will break our trust, and on the surface they got Bozhou, but in fact they just got closer to the Qing army."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Okay, then do as you want. After we conquer Bozhou, I will notify the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to let them take over Bozhou City."

Two days later, Huang Xiaohu led the army to Bozhou City, but after arriving in Bozhou City, Huang Xiaohu realized that this place is not as easy to capture as imagined.

Because Bozhou City borders the sphere of influence of the Taiping Army, and is also the throat fortress going north, the city walls are thick and tall, and the moat is designed. Just looking at the city of Bozhou, you know that this place is definitely not so easy to take down.

Huang Xiaohu also received information from the spies that there were more than 4 Qing troops stationed in Bozhou, and when Bozhou City was in danger, reinforcements from the Qing army would arrive, and the number would never be less than [-].

According to this analysis of the situation, attacking Bozhou would be a thankless task, and Huang Xiaohu only led [-] troops, so it would be even more difficult to capture Bozhou.

Huang Xiaohu ordered the whole army to set up camp and wait for the news. He thought about countermeasures in the camp of the Chinese army by himself.

Huang Xiaohu thought to himself: If there is an aircraft submachine gun at this time, it is estimated that there will be no problem in attacking Bozhou. Even if there is no aircraft submachine gun, if there is a big sniper, the defenders can be wiped out from a long distance.But now there are no advanced weapons and equipment, so if you want to attack the city, you really need to think about other countermeasures.

Huang Xiaohu still remembered that when he first attacked Qingyuan City, he relied on voles to dig holes, then wasps helped him, and in the end he gathered all his forces to barely capture Qingyuan City.

Thinking of authenticity, Huang Xiaohu went out all night to look for traces of field mice, and finally found one, and before the field mouse escaped, Huang Xiaohu shouted to him: "Hey, brother field mouse, it's me, I have something to look for." You help."

The vole stopped when he heard the voice, and said, "Who are you? How can you speak our mouse language?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "You go and call your Shu Wang who is in charge, I have something to ask him for help!"

The field mouse said: "Wait for me, I'll go find the Mouse King."

After a while, more than a dozen voles appeared, and one of them said, "The Mouse King is not here, but if you have anything to tell me, I can make the decision."

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's still the same thing. I have asked Tian Boss for help before. Tian Boss is also a member of your voles. They have helped me dig tunnels before, so this time I want you to help me again, help me more Dig a few hidden tunnels, I want to enter the city."

The field mouse said: "Originally we would never care about human affairs, but since you can understand rat language and communicate with us, I decided to help you once. Digging a tunnel is very simple, just need some time."

Huang Xiaohu said: "As long as you find more voles to dig tunnels, it should be completed quickly. I need more than three tunnels leading to the city, and the locations should be hidden so that no one can find it. Can it be done?"

The field mouse said: "As long as I promise, I will help you to complete it. Don't worry, just go back and wait for the good news."

After negotiating with the voles, Huang Xiaohu returned to the army camp, finally able to rest for a few days.

After three days of repairing, the voles finally got the tunnel done and notified Huang Xiaohu.

Huang Xiaohu immediately called a meeting of regiment-level generals to discuss the plan to attack Bozhou City.

In fact, the plan is very simple, that is, Huang Xiaohu personally led several teams, climbed into the city through three tunnels, and then reached the city gate in the dark, and opened the city gate.As soon as the city gate is opened, the army will rush in directly, and there is nothing to say about the rest, that is to fight with the Qing army defending the city.

Huang Xiaohu took into account the large number of Qing troops, so this time the three teams had more people than before, with 30 people in each team, and Huang Xiaohu personally led one of the teams approaching the city gate.

That night, Huang Xiaohu led three teams to sneak down to the city, and then climbed into the city of Bozhou along the tunnel.

After sneaking into Bozhou City, Huang Xiaohu touched the city gate according to the plan, and encountered a Qing army patrol team. After a fierce battle, Huang Xiaohu killed dozens of Qing army patrol teams, and then ordered the city gate to be opened.

At this moment, the Qing army already knew that there were enemies entering the city, so the sound of gongs and drums sounded everywhere, and many torches were lit, and Bozhou City was suddenly illuminated by fire.

Several groups of Huang Xiaohu's people desperately resisted the Qing army. At this time, the [-] troops had rushed over. As long as they persisted until the army entered the city, the plan would be considered a success.

The Qing army continued to shoot arrows and used firearms, but Huang Xiaohu alone made it impossible for the Qing army to deal with it. Although most of the soldiers who followed Huang Xiaohu into the city were shot to death by the Qing army, only Huang Xiaohu was still stubbornly resisting. Finally, when the army of the Dragon Society rushed into Bozhou City, Huang Xiaohu heaved a sigh of relief.

After Huang Xiaohu's army rushed into the city, everything became simple and rough, that was street fighting and scuffle fighting, and it was absolutely barbaric hand-to-hand combat.

Holding a machete, Huang Xiaohu rushed all the way, unstoppable, so he had the upper hand in terms of momentum, and it was now midnight, many Qing soldiers had just woken up from their sleep, and before they were ready, they had already encountered the Dragon Society The army is basically unable to resist.

There was fighting and crying in the city of Bozhou until the sun came out the next morning. Huang Xiaohu's army finally captured the city, and the defenders of the Qing army had already fled, and the rest were either killed or surrendered.

After counting the battlefield, Huang Xiaohu learned that 1 Qing soldiers surrendered.
