The fifth commander Chen Lin and the seventh commander Feng Junfu did not hold on in Yongyang Fucheng. The riots in the city made them quickly make the decision to break out. The two led more than 3,000 cavalry and followed more than 3,000 infantry behind them, one after the other.
Then he rushed out of the west gate of the city.
Feng Junfu, the seventh commander who guarded the west of the city, first led more than a thousand cavalry and the garrison troops guarding the city head to escape without even saying hello.
When the fifth commander Chen Lin learned that the city defenses in the west of the city had been opened and the city gates were open, he immediately changed his decision to eliminate the rebels in the city and led his cavalry to flee to the west of the city. Along the way, he gathered various armies and the people in the city and rushed out of the west of the city in chaos.
The main road faced west, and the heads of people were moving on the high loess slopes. The returning army, which was originally said to live and die with Yongyang Fucheng, ran faster than rabbits. A large black mass was running around in all directions.
The deputy general of the Anhui army, Guo Baoren, was Guo Baochang's cousin. He led more than 2,500 cavalry to appear in front of the returning army. To deal with the fleeing cavalry, the Qing army's usual strategy was to intercept the cavalry at the waist, so from the beginning Guo Baoren sent the seventh commander Feng Junfu to
A large number of troops were let go.[
The unlucky fifth commander Chen Lin ran into the gun of the Anhui army, and the two cavalrymen killed each other on a high loess slope. Guo Baoren stood on a high slope and watched the chaotic cavalry charge, one after another.
After charging and volleying with guns, the surviving cavalrymen drew their sabers and chased down the fleeing returning cavalrymen.
On the vast loess slopes, there were sounds of killing and gunfire. The dust was flying. The infantry were vulnerable and were driven away by the Qing cavalry. Then a small group was wiped out. Those who were hiding in the ravines to avoid the iron hoofs
The returning infantry and civilians would have no chance to escape. All that was waiting for them was to be captured or killed.
The soldiers who returned to the army had lost their morale and only had a belief in survival. Although they were very brave, as long as they fought a bloody road, they would run away without a trace, regardless of the comrades behind them. A defeated army started to talk about cooperation, but the fifth commander Chen Lin personally commanded
The cavalry is well-organized and well-formed. It maintains a rigorous formation in battle and has a strong combat effectiveness. The banner with the word "Chen" is particularly eye-catching.
The cavalry is a branch of arms between cold weapons and hot weapons. It requires the use of hot weapons, a long spear, and cold weapons, a sword.
The two cavalrymen first fired at each other. After slowly approaching, they fired round after round, and cavalrymen continued to fall. After getting closer to each other, they drew their swords and killed each other, urging the horses to charge. The cavalry on the battlefield, you chase
I rush, only recognizing the battle flag. As long as the battle flag is flying, comrades will come closer, and it is easy to form a joint force.
The artillery of the Qing army on the high slopes, including ten howitzers, fired fiercely for a while at the beginning of the battle. Later, the two armies got together and stopped bombing.
When Lieutenant General Guo Baoren saw that the Anhui army's cavalry had not taken advantage, the war did not form a one-sided situation, and the returning army was still able to organize a countercharge. The two armies were attacking each other, which made him die of heartache. The cavalry was built very slowly.
It takes at least a year to train a qualified cavalry, unlike infantry who can go to the battlefield in three months. With a loss of one to two, the Qing cavalry was also losing money.
Guo Baoren was impatient and raised his whip: "Order, the artillery bombards the enemy's flag. If the enemy's flag falls, the artillery fire is not allowed to stop."
The Qing army implemented the most ruthless tactics on the battlefield, regardless of the casualties of the Qing army, and the artillery carried out military orders according to conditions.
Boom! Boom!
The howitzers that had not made a sound for a long time fired cannons of friendship. On the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, the war flags with Chinese characters were knocked down. The returning cavalry without the guidance of the military flags were like flies, scurrying around, finally heading into the distance.
Collapse.
Chen Lin, the fifth commander who had been organizing the battle, was hit on the shoulder blade by a piece of debris. His shirt was soaked in blood and he fell to the ground.
"Chen Shuai!" The guards, who were desperate to protect themselves, immediately surrounded him with their teeth cracking.
Chen Lin bandaged the wound a little, and was helped onto the horse by the soldiers. Her face was pale, and she said energetically: "It's better to withdraw. Don't worry about other troops. It's important to preserve your strength."
The retreat horn sounded, and the returning cavalry, who had been fighting to the death, fled westward, and the battle flag with the Chinese character "Chen" on the battlefield disappeared. The Qing cavalry finally slaughtered the returning army on the battlefield like a winner. Teams of Qing cavalry
Attack and eliminate the returning troops fighting alone one by one.
Chen Lin's wound was sprinkled with a lot of Zhuge Xingjun Powder, which is a hemostatic powder produced and sold by Hu Qingyutang. It is a necessary medical product for the Qing army. Hu Xueyan provided various medicines to the army, and a large part of them were privately sponsored.
All of them were donated to the Chu army in the name of Hu Qingyutang. His patriotic actions received high honors. Later, Hu Xueyan was awarded the second-grade crown by the court and became a popular red-top businessman.
Zhuge Xingjun Powder has some effects, but it has not reached the level of a miracle drug. The injured Chen Lin's shoulder blade is still bleeding, and the blood oozing out is heart-wrenching to see. He can no longer ride on a horse, fell off once, and was killed by a soldier
The guard picked it up and tied it to his waist. The two of them rode a war horse and continued on their way.
Chen Lin was tortured by the pain and was about to faint. She was bleeding too much. He knew that he was about to die. He might not be able to wake up the next time he fainted. Chen Lin forcibly endured the pain and asked his soldiers to protect him.
He summoned a few cronies and said in a prejudicial tone: "Don't blame Marshal Feng, and don't make trouble for Marshal Feng. Let Marshal Ma handle this matter. Chen Daoqin, the troops are under your command. If I die, cut off my head and take it with you."
Give it to Marshal Ma."
"Chen Shuai, you won't die." There were cries all around. They hated the Qing army for stalking them and causing them heavy losses along the way. They also hated Seventh Commander Feng Junfu for being selfish and leading his troops to escape first.[
Chen Lin fainted and still had a breath left. She might die at any time. There were still five or six hundred remaining soldiers gathered around Chen Daoqin, waiting for his order.
Chen Daoqin watched the sun set in the west. The sun was about to set. The Qing cavalry no longer pursued. They could go back over the mountains to find the commander-in-chief Ma Zhenghe.
/
Chen Daoqin tested Chen Lin's breath, and found that there was no breath of Chen Lin, the fifth commander. However, he did not cut off Chen Lin's head, but tied the body to the horse himself, and then said: "We are not going to Xitaogou to join Feng Shuai."
, who knows what peace of mind he has, let’s go to Xiaojin Town to find Marshal Ma.”
"Yes! Go find Marshal Ma, the devil is cooperating with Marshal Feng." The soldiers cursed, and even the most unpleasant words came out of their mouths.
Chen Daoqin quickly organized the troops and appointed a group of cronies to take control of the troops. They took a short rest and replenished some water. Some of the horses could no longer bear it, and their trembling legs became weak and could not get up again. The injured returned to the army.
There were also horses and cavalry, and many of the returning troops became infantry. The returning troops did not dare to light torches, so they relied on people familiar with the geography to lead the way and turned towards Xiaojin Town.
The morale of the returning army was low and they were walking around with their heads down. They did not expect that they were defeated without even fighting a round. What happened in the strange Yongyang Mansion City? It is not clear who is the mole.
What would be the fate of the parents of the people who were left behind? The soldiers who returned to the army did not dare to think about it and could only keep their hatred in their hearts.
Chen Daoqin took over this army. These more than 500 people were the foundation of his life in troubled times. He had already thought about taking a break and not being used as cannon fodder by the commanders.
The seventh commander, Feng Junfu, will not be punished because Feng Junfu has soldiers and horses in his hands. The commander-in-chief Ma Zhenghe and Xini thought that there are more than 500 soldiers and horses, that is, the commander-in-chief and the general. Feng Junfu couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth. What is the future path?
Where? Even he doesn't know.
Is national independence really more important than life? Why did the successive Hui people divide and disintegrate in this uprising against the Qing Dynasty and oppression? They turned their guns and shot at their brothers.
The returning army made a violent move and destroyed the defense line of Yongyang Fucheng in one fell swoop. Feng Junfu felt as if it was night, confused in the dark sky.
Because the Hui people have the same beliefs and do not intermarry with other ethnic groups, they have strong cohesion. The Hui people, the ancestors of the Hui people, once established the Uighur Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. The Hui people distributed in the northwest also established the Uighur Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
For hundreds of years, the Hui people have dreamed of establishing the glory of their ancestors, and heroes with nationalistic complexes have worked hard for this purpose throughout their lives.
During the Hui uprising in the northwest, the Uighur Kingdom had not yet been established, and they openly broke with the Qing Dynasty. Because the Hui armed forces were still fighting on their own, each Hui army existed in the form of local separatism. The Hui army first established local independence, and some Hui army warlords also
Pay tribute to the Qing court, and want to become a separatist force in the northwest in the name of a vassal state or a foreign state.
Like Annan, Korea, and Tibet, some warlords also proposed allowing the Qing Dynasty to station two thousand troops. However, they were all rejected by the Qing Dynasty. The Qing government was determined to regain the lost territory in the northwest even if it was thousands of miles away.
The Qing army and the Hui army fought a war of attrition. The Qing Dynasty took the initiative on the battlefield, but the results were bitter and bitter. The civil war was a war with no winners and brought only tragic killings to the people.
Although the Hui people are very united and dream of establishing an independent kingdom. But for thousands of years, the Hui people have accepted Chinese and written Chinese characters. They have been assimilated ideologically by the Han people and have recognized the chauvinism of the great power. Therefore, many Hui armies rebelled on the battlefield without feeling betrayed.
Instead of losing compatriots, they felt that they were glorious national martyrs. The two sides of the contradiction and the multiplicity of things made this vigorous uprising of the Hui people full of uncertainty, and they each fought for their ideals.
Chen Daoqin led more than 500 troops to march forward in the night. He was wavering in his heart. He wanted to take revenge on the seventh commander Feng Junfu and avenge his lord. But this team was too chaotic. It took more than 500 people to gather them under his command, and they also had to gather people's hearts.
If you worry too much about everything, things will change. He already has a rebellious heart, so he just needs to take action.
At this time, Snow Mountain Lion Flags and Yellow Dragon Flags were planted all over the heights of Yongyang Fucheng. Deputy Commander Xu Zhanbiao was both happy and annoyed. He occupied Yongyang Fucheng with such small casualties, and there should not be a heavy reward. The military orders were like mountains, and he personally issued the military orders
You can't tamper with it. You can only look at the military flags in the sky and let the Qing army kill and behave randomly in the city. At noon tomorrow, the sword will be sealed! Enter the city to review the glorious troops.
"Guo Shoubei, don't go too far. I'll leave the city to you." Xu Zhanbiao walked in the opposite direction and returned to Dishui Cave on Pengyuan Mountain. Even if the commander doesn't enter the city, if the army invades a city, earth-shaking things will happen overnight.
As a high-ranking official, he has to think about his future and cannot be criticized by political opponents in the court. He has never seen such war atrocities.
"Come on! Deputy Marshal Xu, I will give you a complete outfit." Guo Baochang waved his riding crop studded with gems, stepped onto the golden saddle, and led the first battalion of Gesheha into the city with the air of a nouveau riche.
Gao Liansheng and Guo Baochang walked side by side. At the city gate, Cao Zhongquan, Cao Keliao, Cao Kewu, Cao Keding, Feng Mingzhi and other returning troops from the battlefield uprising knelt down to greet them.
"Well, thank you all for your hard work." Gao Liansheng sat proudly on the horse, waved his riding crop, and accepted the kneeling ceremony without moving his buttocks.[
Guo Baochang glanced scornfully, jumped off his horse, laughed and said: "You are all heroes of the nation. On behalf of Deputy Marshal Xu, I would like to pay tribute to you. Please get up quickly! Cao Keding, who is your uncle Cao Zhongquan, please introduce to me.
"
Cao Keding hurriedly introduced a group of meritorious ministers to Guo Baochang. They greeted them in an orderly manner according to their rank. Amid laughter, they reorganized their formation and followed the two officers into the city according to their rank.
Young Ma Liang carried a tripod and hurriedly set up his camera to take pictures of the commanders entering the city. His busy figure seemed to be climbing on the clouds and driving through the fog without stopping for a moment.
The drums were loud and the noise was constant. Qing soldiers stood on top of the city, waving military flags and shaking them desperately. This moment was enough to make them proud for life. The ground was covered with the battle flags of the returning army, and the Qing army's war horses stepped on the enemy's ground.
On the battle flag, he proudly entered Yongyang City with his chest raised as a master.
Sporadic gunfire could be heard vaguely, but to these old soldiers, it was like hearing the sound of firecrackers. Smart Hui people burned incense and knelt down on both sides of the street. The killings were also divided into regions. This area was covered by Cao Zhongquan, and the Hui people lined the streets to welcome the Qing army.
Entering the city, this moment was photographed by Ma Liang. The Qing army was warmly welcomed by the Hui people and became a witness to history.
