As night falls, Dongzhi County is exhausted, like a sick patient who is terminally ill, but the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air lingers, telling the living that the battle is not over yet, and death will favor everyone on the battlefield at any time.
soldier.
The Qing army who was changing defenses picked up a stone and added an extra brick to the protective wall. A hundred meters away from the Qing army's fortifications, the returning army did the same action. A simple fortification was probably made by two silent men.
They heard the graves of the soldiers, but at this moment they didn't want to die, but wanted to spend the night alive, and adding another brick would be an extra insurance.
The powerful offensive of the Qing army smashed the defense of Dong Zhi County to pieces. The returning army only relied on their will to support themselves, and resisted to the end without meaning. The die-hards who refused to repent were the last impression left on Li Guolou by Dong Zhiyuan's returning army.
Do people in a country have so much hatred? For thousands of years, divisions and unions between nations have long been accustomed. Do not expose the grievances between nations easily. Follow the trend and submit to the Qing Dynasty. Become the savior of the nation.
Let a nation continue.
Those soldiers who return to the army and fight for national independence with the determination to fight till death will only destroy a city and make a nation suffer more suffering.[
When a person should bow his head, he should bow his head. Kneeling and surrendering to the foreigners is the way to survive. Learn the Han people's philosophy of life, live in an ignoble existence, force a smile, endure the humiliation and bear the burden, fight back, and create a new world. There is such a way to choose, why only choose a dead end?
Woolen cloth?
Li Guolou left the dilapidated house and came to the yard. He looked up at the bright moon rising in the sky and sighed slightly: "Hey, the moon is out. It will be a sleepless night tonight. Commander Guo, I
The army will withstand tonight, and someone will deliver Ma Zhenghe's head tomorrow."
"Bah!" Guo Baochang spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed angrily: "I don't want a human head! Can Ma Zhenghe escape? If he can't escape, it won't be much credit to anyone who gives him a head. He will have to live like a dog.
.”
"Yes! Surrendering at this time is of little use. The surrender faction that takes the Lord's head can only be regarded as a dog. Seeing it this way, Cui Wei is a hero who understands current affairs, and the name of Baturu is not built. Now that I think about it, it should be
Talk to Cui Weiduo and learn more about his thoughts." Li Guolou has never forgotten the leaders of the rebel uprising who surrendered in Taichang Town. In those heroes, we can see the people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The shadow of the capitulators.
"Bravery is a ball. Our army is braver than the returning army. Even if the cavalry fights one-on-one, the returning army cannot defeat our army. This kind of enemy who fights with the attitude of sharing the same fate is a bitch, the meanest bitch in the world.
!I can't beat them, but I'm still cheating, thinking I will be afraid of them
, I have capital, I can play jade and stone, but I want to see who will suffer the loss." Guo Baochang couldn't help but ran out of the room and looked at the luster of the moon. He could only rely on the moon and stars to fight at night. He took one look and knew that today
The hand-to-hand combat at night will be brutal.
"Send hand grenades to the forward positions for me. If there are no more hand grenades in any position, the people from the Munitions Department will go to the front for me. I will let them play with the sword." Guo Baochang roared at the top of his lungs, which was even more powerful than the explosion.
The sound is even louder.
A rumbling roar sounded, which was the explosion of pieces of grenades. Dongzhi County was surrounded by explosions, and a bloody hand-to-hand battle unfolded in the city shrouded in night.
A mortar was aimed at the returning troops rushing towards the street. With a bang, a 30-meter-long plume swept down everything on the street. The dark returning troops fell to the ground in pain, and their wailing sounds were unbearable to watch.
Similarly, the returning army also pulled out a mortar from the darkness and slowly moved towards the Qing army's position. The terrifying thick muzzle made everyone who saw it turn pale. The Qing army lying on the bricks did not forget to throw out the last one.
pomegranate.
boom!
The mortar sixty meters away shot out graupel and thousands of nails. The flakes flew out from the graupel, and the fragments continued to shoot, causing injuries to people at unexpected angles. The Qing soldiers lying on the ground could only ask for God's favor.
"Kill it, the artillery will kill it quickly." The Qing army pinned its hopes on howitzers and bronze cannons. The power of a mortar for the returning army was more terrifying than fifty charging returning troops.
At night, it was too difficult for the artillery to hit a target sixty or seventy meters away. The Qing army could only burn one by one and throw it forward, using a trace of fire to point out the direction for the artillery.
Boom! Boom!
The Qing army's bronze cannon was closer to the target and fired at the returning army's mortar with faint fire. As long as the gunner was killed, the cannon was useless. If the mortar was blown up, it would be perfect.
In the artillery battle on the street, there was only one or two cannons behind a fortification. They could not bomb wildly, so they had to strike accurately. However, the night made it impossible for observers to report accurate coordinates, so the Qing artillery fired two cannons.
, dragging the cannon back. The artillery of the Qing army is the treasure of the army. It is better to lose a few streets than to let the artillery die in the so-called night battle. Therefore, the artillery of the Qing army in the night battle
It did not work. It just showed its power from a distance and bombed fixed coordinates. Simple fortifications were occupied by the returning troops. The returning troops in the night were madmen. They had explosive packs tied to their bodies and charged towards the Qing army's positions. They were surrounded by rocks and bricks.
, the returning warriors fired the explosives, and there was a constant sound of explosives exploding. Ma Zhenghe had a large number of supporters, and these people were willing to die for the commander-in-chief and use their lives to carve out a bloody path.
In order to deal with these returning suicide fighters, the Qing army stretched the defense line very long. Each fortification had only one group, with a maximum of twenty or thirty people, and they did not dare to gather together. They stretched the line very long and threw a few grenades.
, just move back. There are more than a dozen on one street.
Simple fortifications, the Qing army retreated steadily. If a simple fortification failed, a few corpses would be thrown down. The retreating Qing army organized a defense line fifty meters apart. After two rounds of firing, the Qing army retreated another twenty meters.
, the brown sugar tactic saps the fighting spirit of the returning army.
At night, it is the world of returning troops. The death squads launch one round of offensives after another, regaining alleys. The flying eagle and flag advance forward, greeting the dawn with victory after victory.
However, the Qing army was not discouraged and their fighting spirit was not diminished. The brown sugar tactics wore down the spirit of the returning army. As long as they were not driven out of the city by the returning army at night, Dongzhi County was still dominated by the Qing army during the day.[
Guo Baochang and Li Guolou stayed up all night and did not retreat outside the city. They were still in high spirits. They looked at the map with yellow flags. So many points in Dongzhi County were still controlled by the Qing army, and victory would come soon.
In the morning light, a loud bugle sounded. After holding it all night, the Qing army began to counterattack. The artillery position took the lead in firing at Gongliudian. Hundreds of rounds destroyed an ancient building with a history of thousands of years. A hidden soldier returned to the army.
The areas were targeted to be eliminated, and more than 300 returning troops were buried in the ruins of Gongliu Palace. The Hui people who hid in Gongliu Palace to avoid the war were even more destroyed...

Hearing the thunderous sound of artillery, Li Guolou beamed with joy and said with a smile: "Commander Guo, I guess Gongliudian is where Ma Zhenghe is stationing grain. It is very likely that the wounded are also there. Ma Zhenghe has suffered a big loss this time.
"
Guo Baochang looked at the thick smoke billowing in the distance, and his mood suddenly jumped from the trough to the clouds. God help me! He praised: "Well, Chief Li has a unique vision. The Gongliu Palace is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The fire is so big. But Marshal Zuo will be fierce in the future."
If you give me a harsh meal, I will take it for others."
"What does this mean? You are the commander-in-chief, and you are the one who gave the order. Today I bet with you, using Ma Zhenghe's head as the bet. If you lose, I will give you two thousand taels of silver. If you lose, I will give you the gold
How about giving me the saddle? A saddle isn't worth a thousand taels. I'll give you more.
Cheap." Li Guolou received the whip as a gift from Guo Baochang. Not satisfied yet, he also took a fancy to Guo Baochang's golden saddle. It was expected that the returning army led by Ma Zhenghe would be in chaos today. The returning army was forced into a desperate situation and the Qing army "couldn't surrender their guns."
Under the inspiration of "Kill, threaten to obey!", he will turn against his master.
"Hmph! What's the point of making this kind of bet? Ma Zhenghe is a dead snake, not a flying dragon. Does it make sense to live for one or two more days? We will make a bet later when our army attacks Jinji Fort and Ma Hualong. Then I and
If you make a big bet, the bet must be at least one hundred thousand taels of silver." Guo Baochang said in a very serious tone.
Big, so big that he felt guilty. He would not bet with Li Guolou. Li Guolou was a scheming person. Although he said he had a good brain, he was still not as good as Li Guolou. A noble person must be self-aware. Guo Baochang felt ashamed.
It is better to brag a few words but not dare to take the initiative. You will lose your courage but not your ambition.
"It's a pity that my good horse doesn't have a good saddle?" Li Guolou sighed sadly. The banker was willing to offer a generous jackpot, but it was a pity that the gambler was not fooled, leaving him helpless. Guo Baochang was very cunning, and he would definitely win this time.
The commander-in-chief is named and given an official title first. He is still young and will take up his post in the future.
Li Guolou looked at the map again. Last night he had been pulling out the yellow flags symbolizing the occupation of the Qing army. Today, more yellow flags will be inserted on the map. Looking at the map, he smiled and said: "I suddenly discovered that fighting is like
In the Western game of checkers, the commander only needs to look at the board to fight."
"You! Don't think about playing. Think about moving the command post forward. Show me where the artillery will be fired intensively next?" Guo Baochang tapped the map with his index finger, telling Li Guolou not to get carried away and come here.
When fighting on the front line, you must fulfill your duties as a counselor.
"Yes! I'll read the military reports right away." Li Guolou took a stack of frontline military reports from Geshha, trying to find valuable information and determine where Ma Zhenghe's lair was?
In the temporary command post, everyone was busy, and the war was going on around them. Although they could not see it, the sound of gunfire was constantly heard. These officers were accustomed to the sound of gunfire. Even if a gun fell into the yard, they would not be moved.
The dust that fell from the roof beams fell into the bowl. It seemed that they didn't see it, but it still tasted delicious.
The Qing army was also afraid that the commander of the command post would die gloriously, so the senior commanders who came to the battlefield did not gather together. This time the battle in Dongzhi County was commanded by Guo Baochang, and other senior commanders did not enter the city. Li Guolou wanted to
He learned to fight and went to the front line in person, which impressed the generals of the Qing army. Although he belittled Li Guolou in words, he made friends with him in action. Li Guolou learned to fight on the battlefield and gained a lot. He learned experience that could not be found in books.
, and also made him determined about the path he would take in the future.
Interpreting the profound meaning of military law and love, understanding the unspoken rules of the army, getting used to the fact that his comrades around him turned into corpses, and calculating how many Qing soldiers died in a battle was a cost-effective business. Li Guolou became more selfish and affectionate, and became a warlord
He examines each of his subordinates with his eyes. War can be measured with a ruler, and human lives are just numbers in a book in his eyes.
The sacrifices of the comrades around them turn people into brutal thugs, and the corpses pile up behind a fighting hero. In the end, there is an inspiring victory, and that is what the world sees as war.
The powerful Qing army launched a counterattack and regained the ground lost last night. The Qing army, who endured the wretchedness of the army, destroyed the returning army's position under the raging fire of artillery.
The roar of the artillery boosted the morale of the Qing army, and the snow-capped lion flags were re-inserted on the ruins. Modern warfare means infantry and artillery fighting together. The streets of Dongzhi County, surrounded by the Qing army like iron barrels, became the Qing army's infantry training
A battlefield coordinated with artillery. Every street battle went from slow movement to rapid advance. It only took the Qing army two days to learn to brave artillery fire and win every street battle with very few casualties.
The commander is learning to fight, and the humble warriors are also growing up rapidly in the battle. Street battles between more than a dozen people also have clear cooperation. Covering each other in a small area and rushing in have become the tactics of the Qing army. The bugle is
The powerful weapon of communication between the various armies also made it rare for the Qing army to have its own people fight against their own people.
The ruins were full of mutilated corpses of the Hui soldiers. The Qing army marched on the corpses of the enemy. Military flags gathered into a sea. The proud lions looked down on Dongzhi County and trampled the Hui troops under their feet.
