The forward battalion of the Qing army was composed of Huizi, and the leader was the groom, Wang Huacheng. With his messy beard and unkempt appearance, he looked like a defeated army. In the sneak attack planned by Li Guolou, he first had to defeat Zou, the sixteenth commander of the Hui army.
Bohol established blockades one after another. The troops carrying the banner with the Chinese character "Chen" brazenly retreated towards the rear towards Shishe Town.
A long line of troops marched on the high loess slopes. The returning army secretly sent out sentries, rangers, and the fortress guards had long seen it. The news was immediately passed to the rear. The battle in Yongyang Fucheng was not going well, and Fifth Commander Chen Lin's large army was escaping.
The team marching in a fleeing manner must be one of our own.
A returning army knight patted his horse to meet him and asked nervously: "Brothers, the fight just started and you retreated."
"Stop being so verbose. Chen Shuai is in a bad mood. I just want to kill someone. Lead me the way." Wang Huacheng's ferocious face looked like he wanted to eat people.
"Come on, why are you so long-winded like a girl? The dogs are pinching us from behind, and our brothers have suffered heavy casualties." The Huizi beside him was also cursing, waving his whip, and giving a lesson to the returning army ranger who came to question us.
.[
The Hui Army Rangers wanted to see the situation of the team, but they could only see a group of cavalry around them, all of whom were Hui people. They had no doubts at first. They never thought that the Qing army would disguise themselves, so they waved their hands and said seriously and responsibly: "Follow me."
Let’s go, the three sentries in front are all brothers from our team. There will be a large team of Zou Shuai in Xitaogou to support us. You can take a rest.”
"That's good. After walking for such a long distance, the war horse can't bear it anymore." Wang Huacheng led the war horse and marched on the high loess slope. When going up the slope, you need to dismount and walk. The high slope in front of you is the weakness of the cavalry.
If you want to capture Shishe Town, you must first capture Xitaogou, which is a canyon sandwiched between two high loess slopes. Attacking a canyon with cavalry is like a fantasy. Only Li Guolou is so bold.
.
Wang Huacheng had no choice but to risk his life and execute the military orders without hesitation. In order to reunify the motherland and make the Qing Dynasty stand at the top of the East again, these Hui people with national consciousness did not hesitate to fight back and smash Ma Zhenghe's dictatorship.
The dream. The truth became clearer with more debate. The Hui people in the Qing army accepted the idea of great power and abandoned the idea of single nationalism. In their minds, the Hui people who wanted independence were the enemy, and it was their duty to kill all the enemies without any regrets.
Is this kind of thinking right or wrong?
Whoever comes to power is right. People cannot compete with the state machine. The probability of successful rebellion is too low. On the road of the national independence movement, the vast majority of people become reactionaries. There is little hope of becoming a founding hero and a national hero. The state power
These people who want independence are characterized as reactionaries, but a nation considers these reactionaries to be the pioneers of the national movement, tragic heroes, and symbols of unyielding, and even pays tribute to them for thousands of years. The country and the nation can be combined into one, or they can
distinguish.
Different people, different races, have different requirements, and each has their own reasons. This is destined to cause ethnic wars to always break out, with each ethnic group fighting for their own dignity.
There were too many luck factors for the Manchus to establish the Qing Empire and become a supreme ruler. And because the killings were too heavy, civilians were massacred in history, and the founding of the Qing Dynasty was the worst. More than a hundred years have passed, and people's hearts have not yet surrendered.
Several years of civil war caused the internal conflicts of the Qing Dynasty to erupt like a volcano. The Han, Miao, and Hui people revolted one after another. The war has not yet subsided. The Western powers hope to see this scene as long as possible.
The Western powers were most afraid of the rise of the Qing Dynasty and would come back to them to settle the accounts. Therefore, a group of important Han ministers who had the idea of national unity stood firmly under the banner of the Qing Dynasty and were unwilling to rebel. Instead, they served the country loyally and fought in the Qing Dynasty.
Northwest. In the eyes of the Qing army, they are the righteous party. National interests are above all else. Massacre is the duty of soldiers. As long as the enemy refuses to surrender, the Qing army will not put down their weapons.
The army has blood debts in its hands, especially the wars between ethnic groups, which are even more tragic. But history is written by the victors, so the army's scandals have been covered up. The Qing Dynasty was a regime established by the Manchus, and the Han censors dared to fight straight
The book records the brutality of the Manchu and Qing armies. It is a shame to massacre civilians, and the brutality of the Qing army is outrageous.
In order to keep the surprise attack secret, no chickens or dogs were left in the villages passed along the way. The Qing cavalry swept all the way and maintained an efficient marching speed.
The commander of the Qing army, Huang Ding, took the Huizi (Yugu tribe) led by Wang Huacheng as the vanguard. There were three battalions of cavalry, more than 800 people. Three battalions of the surrendering Han army followed closely behind, and Li Guolou joined in.
Quickly marching from his position in the central army, he rushed to the ranks of the Han army.
Enyi inspired these Ge Lao Hui teams in the second uprising. The Ge Lao Hui members who are both loyal and righteous like to recognize their elder brothers in their hearts and are willing to die for their lord. Li Guolou was originally a member of the underworld. How to subdue these duplicitous capitulationists?
Deep understanding.
Hu Dagui was moved when he saw Li Guolou arriving with a team of Goshiha, and said anxiously: "Sir Li, it's too dangerous here. There will be a war at any time. You should stay in the Chinese army."
Li Guolou waved his whip and rode up, walking side by side, and said as if: "Hu Yingguan, we are like sandwiches now, we are enemies in front and behind, you don't need to worry about me."
"Yes! Chief Li really knows what's going on. He didn't expect that our army would do this when he returned to the army." Hu Dagui bowed and clasped his fists in salute, showing absolute respect for Li Guolou. He admired Li Guolou's thoughtfulness and hurried all the way.
, and they really deceived the returning army rangers, and the small number of returning army rangers along the way were all killed by the Qing army.
Li Guolou remained motionless and his expression did not change. It was not yet time to celebrate victory. The marching team in the wilderness seemed like a pack of wild wolves. Wild wolves without prey could not stop. The prey was right in front of them, tearing them away.
Food is the only way to survive in a wild world.
The Hui people in the Qing army were more ferocious than the Han army. Just now they were talking and laughing with five Hui army rangers. In an instant, the captain Ma Suzhen took out the revolver in his waist and fired the first shot.
The Qing army raised their guns and fired. A volley of guns shot down the five returning army rangers who were leading the way.
Ma Suzhen's team was accustomed to firing cold shots at the dead bodies on the ground, and even fired a few more shots. Killing people was like playing, and they all looked fearless. In Ma Suzhen's mind, his team
They are the lone heroes who go deep into the tiger's den. The liberation of the Northwest depends on them and the Hui people with lofty ideals.
These horses were all war horses. They did not panic when they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire, and continued to move forward at the original pace. They were quickly captured by the Hui army, and the reins of the five war horses were tied to the saddles of the Qing army and became trophies.
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield very cleanly, not even sparing a pair of leather boots. The Qing army took whatever they needed. Five naked corpses were thrown into the grass.[
In order to seize the time, the Qing army did not rest all the way and hurried to the west to dig the ditch. The soldiers of the forward battalion, one person and two horses, rushed straight into the first line of defense of the returning army. They climbed over the hills and waded through the mountains.
The river came to Xitaogou not far away in the evening.
The vanguard troops of the Qing army habitually stopped to rest, feed their horses and drink water, in order to build up enough power and prepare for battle. Li Guolou rushed to the forefront and cursed angrily: "Donkey ball, Wang Huacheng, where are the people?"
?Who asked you to stop? You are at the door of your house. How can you stop to rest? Call Wang Huacheng."
/
Wang Huacheng rushed over and was scolded by Li Guolou. He understood immediately and hurriedly organized a team, leading more than 800 fake returning troops, and headed straight for the Xitaogou defense line. At this time, everyone was beating a small drum in their hearts.
, if they are discovered by the returning army, they will be living targets while marching like this, and they will be shot at any time.
The advance team was already standing outside the Huijun fortifications, waiting to enter Xitaogou. Ma Suzhen first chatted with the Huijun guards. How did the troops identify themselves? It was official seals. Officials at all levels of the Huijun also had official seals. The Qing army
We had already obtained the pattern of the official seal of Fifth Commander Chen Lin, so it was not difficult to counterfeit a seal. A copy of the imperial edict of Fifth Commander Chen Lin was handed to the returning army guards.
The font and seal couldn't be distinguished, so they were genuine. The returning guard general was worried and asked: "Little brother, where is Chen Shuai?"
Ma Suzhen said casually: "The two marshals are holding the battle at the back, and they can't make it tonight. Is that so, Lao Su? You don't know me anymore. We worked together once when we were collecting grain two years ago, and you even gave me a kettle."
.”
It was precisely because Ma Suzhen knew Su Laoxiu, the guard of Xitaogou, that he became the pioneer. Familiarity was also an advantage. The Qing army had many resources. When the war machine is turned on, it will operate flexibly and will not be diverted by the will of the highest officer.
, when the commander gives an order, his subordinates will show their talents and transform strategic ideas into practical actions.
General Su frowned slightly, suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's you, Brother Xiao Ma. I thought you were glorious and not dead yet."
"I am a turtle, and I escaped death again this time." Ma Suzhen walked into Xitaogou with her old friend. Followed by a large number of Qing troops, holding horses, followed the two joking old friends.
later.
Thoughts changed with the environment. Anyway, when he returned to the army, he turned his gun and hit his compatriots. Ma Suzhen only thought about whether to spare her old friend? She said with a smile: "General Su, how many people are you here?"
"Oh, the regular army has one battalion, but through my brother's efforts, it has been expanded to two battalions." General Su looked at the men around him very proudly. Although there were not enough muskets, they still had bows, arrows, broadswords, and spears, and they were all neatly equipped.
, can definitely fight with the Qing army.
"General Su is great. Please tell me that I will support you with twenty guns and leave you ten war horses. How can you be enough of a friend?" Ma Suzhen was very generous. She thought clearly that she did not want prisoners, but the trophies were still useful. She then looked behind her.
As more and more Qing troops entered the fortress, the cavalry mounted their horses and rushed into the distance under the leadership of their respective captains.
General Su pointed at the cavalry team talking to themselves suspiciously and asked: "Brother Xiao Ma, what are they doing? They are running rampant."
There was a bitter smile on Ma Suzhen's face, and she sighed: "Su Jianjun, how could I know? It should be Chen Shuai's military order, telling them to go straight to Shishe Town. Don't worry about them. We haven't seen each other for a long time.
Tell me how you got around in the past two years?"
The two walked side by side, like brothers they had not seen for many years, heading towards the command post.
Countless Qing troops in disguise passed by. Guard Su Laoxiu watched a large number of cavalry passing by. Guessing the intentions of the two marshals, he grunted: "Why don't you two marshals have a night's rest? Qing."
It is not an easy task for the army to surround Xitaogou."
Ma Suzhen was laughing in her stomach. Now that the returning troops in Xitaogou were already a piece of cake, they were about to start sneak attacks and kill people. She couldn't hold it in anymore, so she laughed and said: "General Su, don't pay attention to the people above. What's the matter with them?
Who will tell us, let’s have a good chat, how many wives have you married?”
"Hey! At my level, I can only marry two people. How dare I violate military orders?" Su Laoxiu thought of the benefits of becoming a master, so he married the landlord's daughter.
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots like exploding beans were heard from the wall of the fortress. General Su's expression changed as he thought of the Qing army's surprise attack.
Ma Suzhen took out the revolver, pointed it at Su Laoxiu's belly, pulled the trigger, and shot a string of bullets into Su Laoxiu's body. Ma Suzhen still smiled and sighed: "I'm sorry, brother, I won't drink this wine again in the next life."
.Wife, I’ll watch over it for you. If you sell your little cub to others, they won’t be wronged.”
Blood flowed from Su Laoxiu's mouth, and he wanted to tell "Brother Ma" that he didn't have a child yet, but Brother Ma was disappointed. There was a joking expression on his face, and he slowly fell down.
The Qing army quickly launched a sneak attack in Xitaogou. Gunshots were everywhere, and Qing troops were seen in every corner. The cavalry was galloping on the streets, using swords to kill the fleeing returning troops. Hand grenades were constantly flying across the courtyard.
Flying, the roaring sound was endless. The returning troops in the village were hiding everywhere. Most of the returning troops surrendered and threw out their firearms, bows and arrows.[
The returning troops on the wall of the fortress were quickly eliminated, and several French cannons were captured by the Qing army. Huang Ding personally led 800 Qing troops to sit in Xitaogou. The Qing army would rely on the natural danger of Xitaogou.
Block the escape of Fifth Commander Chen Lin and Seventh Commander Feng Junfu.
At sunset, the glow lingers on the bloody sky. On the wall of the fortress, Huang Ding reluctantly looks at the blush and proudly strokes the beard on his upper lip. The perfect plan is half successful. Next, let's see Li Guolou's performance.
, I hope Emperor Guan will bless me and let the iron hooves of the Qing army set foot on the land of Shishe Town.
