In three days, the entire Yan'an area rebelled against Lei Heng. As soon as Lei Heng's mobilization order was issued, young and middle-aged people in Xinyao Town joined the Han army in rebellion. There was a swarm of rebels, at least thousands of them.
The watchman who sounded the gong and called the police kept calling on the people to take up arms and prepare to fight, "The Qing dogs are coming. Folks, hurry up and gather at Baoguchang."
The gong kept banging, but it was very difficult to get up so early in the morning. The people who received rice grains from the official warehouse yesterday closed the door tightly, and no one ran out of any house.
"Stone daddy, don't go out and clear out the soldiers and kill people without batting an eye. What kind of hero are you trying to do? They use Mauser guns. You use bows and arrows to find your own death and kill the whole family." A woman in her forties cried and tugged at the man's clothes. Don’t let men seek death
"Brother Ma San is calling me outside. I can't go if I don't go." The man resolutely refused to let the woman open the door latch and do what he should do to kill the demon [
About 30% of the ten people who rushed out of their homes on the street had shotguns, and most of them were armed with cold weapons, hunting bows, or long-range attack weapons, broadswords, spears, iron plows, shovels, rake, stone mortar, and rice pestle. All farm tools are available
There are thousands of villagers from Xinyao Town standing on the field. So many people are willing to sacrifice their lives, which gives Ma Sange the confidence. There are already more than a thousand soldiers stationed in Xinyao Town. He has recruited more than a thousand civilians. In total, there are two Three thousand people can completely defend Xinyao Town and prepare to pull thousands of rebels to the wilds to fight the Qing army.
The villagers who fled into Xinyao Town exaggerated the size of the Li Ziying cavalry ten times. The arrival of thousands of Qing troops made the rebel army, which was originally a ragtag group of people, timid again. The rebel army, which originally wanted to break out of Xinyao Town, could not Dare to go out, huddled in the nest and wanted to fight a street battle with the Qing army. The Qing army did not attack Xinyao Town for a day, which made the rebels full of suspicion. Ma Zhankui, as the supreme commander, finally made up his mind to lead three battalions out of the town to test Li The reality of Ziying
According to the information we have, Li Ziying who stayed in Dong Zhiyuan was not expanding but reducing its size. Many student soldiers have returned to Tianjin to guard Li Guolou. There is one sentry infantry and one sentry cavalry around Li Guolou. So the Li Ziying outside Xinyao Town is insufficient. Therefore, they did not dare to attack Xinyao Town. Ma Zhankui encouraged the morale of the rebels and wanted to lead the rebels out.
Ma Zhankui was originally the sentry commander of the Qing army's transport camp. He had a sentry of soldiers and horses that developed rapidly in Xinyao Town. He also took 150 horses from Yang Dawazi. After two days of hard work, the number of cavalry exceeded 250. These more than a thousand horses were all equipped with American Haqqikasi guns. The only shortcoming was that there were four howitzers and four bronze cannons, but no one would make the Qing army treat artillery as the highest level of arms and not let the Han people touch the current Chu army. The Han people also have artillery, but the Qing army is very strict about the ideological education of artillery. To become an artilleryman, you have to go through political review. Therefore, the rebels have artillery but no artillery.
The mortar does not need to be aimed at. It is a short-range cannon used for defense. It sweeps across an area and needs to be supported by a city wall to exert its power. Since the hand grenade has become smaller and can be thrown 40 to 50 meters or even 70 to 80 meters, it is no problem. It has become a short-range and effective weapon. The artillery became useless and was eliminated by the army. It will not be seen on the battlefield in the future.
Ma Zhankui did not wait for the news from Yan'an City. After breakfast in the morning, he led three battalions of infantry to dispatch. He personally led more than 200 cavalry to hold down the formation and carefully set up the attack formation along the river from the east of Xinyao Town.
Li Ziying soldiers relied on the river embankment to engage in a small-scale contact battle with the rebels. Although there was a lot of gunfire, there were no casualties on the Qing army's outpost. They all lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. The gunfire was too dense. It whizzed through the air and hit the bank with a loud popping sound.
Li Yunquan commanded the battle and watched as the ant-like insurgents spread over. Do you want money? Without seeing the Qing army, the insurgents were firing randomly. What was going on? The cavalry was placed behind the infantry. The insurgents' attack formation. Isn't this a way to seek death by attacking in such a weird fan shape? A burst of gunfire can kill twenty or thirty rebels.
"Shoot in the air and withdraw" Li Yun caught the cat with two revolvers on his waist and did not dare to disobey Li Guolou's order and lead the outpost to evacuate the embankment
The rebel army rushed across three stone bridges. Along the way, there were hundreds of corpses of Qing soldiers and some broken firearms. "Ouch!" Now the rebel army became energetic and accelerated their pace. They rushed even harder. Thousands of infantrymen spread out wider on the loess slope. The ant-like rebels charged forward with fighting spirit.
At this time, Li Guolou was sitting lazily on a hayfield, surrounded by cavalry sitting on the ground. Li Guolou ambushed all the cavalry on the hill.
It was unbelievable that the rebel army dispatched thousands of soldiers into the battlefield at once. Did the opposing commander have a pig brain and was not afraid of being blown up and the formation would be scattered? Although the rebel army on the battlefield was wearing military uniforms and had white towels wrapped around their heads, Everyone knows that these people are mobs who fight in the wild and cannot control the formation. No one can command such a large battlefield. Only a large number of veterans can fight in chaos. The rebels have not seen the shadow of the enemy yet. Running on the loess slope, he wanted to send thousands of infantry back and forth. Unfortunately, the enemy commander was so timid that he dragged the cavalry back to the end and could not completely wipe out the enemy's cavalry.
He secretly slandered the elder brother in the Qing army for being a rebel and not treating the common people as human beings. He wanted to use human wave tactics to win. Unfortunately, he didn't accept this set of tactics. The rebel army's scattered formation was destined to be a massacre, which was extremely ridiculous. The Qing army also dared to rebel. These fat worms thought rebellion was too simple. Even people like him who were full of reactionary thoughts did not dare to rebel.
"Hey, the rebels are carrying an American-made Khakis gun. It's too heavy. This gun is not suitable for the physique of us Qing people. When we get back, I will make a 70 mm caliber rifle weighing no more than 13 kilograms." Li Guolou was a little distracted. I don't take the enemy in front of me seriously, I'm thinking about a thousand Hachikaisi guns and I'm about to get them. Unfortunately, this gun weighs 15 pounds and is not suitable for cavalry use.
Fan Dahui stood proudly under a green pine tree with the demeanor of a general, holding his telescope high and looking at the battlefield in the distance without looking back and asked: "Sir Li, don't you want to take a look?"
Li Guolou looked up at the floating clouds in the sky and said with a smile: "I am not a god and can command such a large battlefield alone. Now I only need to take care of the two hundred cavalry here and listen to the bugle's command. I want to thank the enemy for his command." How dare you lead so many mobs to charge?"
Fan Dahui said anxiously: "Why doesn't Baldhead start firing? What is he dawdling about?"
This time, Li Guolou used newcomer Su Yuanchun, Fan Dahui and others to command the battle. Although they had some objections and believed that Su Yuanchun was too young, Li Guolou made the final decision [
"Hey, the young man is too ambitious. He wants to annihilate all the cavalry. Let him go." Li Guolou looked at the insurgents in the distance who could not run. They were staggering in the open plain area and continued to chase the Qing army. He felt a little uneasy. The rebel army has begun to form its troops. Su Yuanchun must seize the opportunity, otherwise the opportunity will be fleeting.
Su Yuanchun stood in front of the artillery camp and was inexplicably excited. He raised his telescope and looked at the distant position. The enemy had slowed down and touched his bare forehead. He couldn't hold back his turbulent heart and howled: "Fire!"
This is the first time he has commanded such a big battle. Su Yuanchun was so excited that his voice was vibrating.
The rebels had just started to form their formation, and then they heard a cannon shot from the opposite side. They were all shocked.
Boom boom boom boom
Several rainbows streaked across the sky. Cannons roared from a distance. The first round of ten cannons "fired" directly at the rebel cavalry camp.
"Ah" the rebel cavalrymen screamed in shock, and their bodies were turned upside down. The corpses were flying everywhere. The cavalryman who was originally supervising the battle team was attacked first.
Boom boom boom boom
And when the insurgents came to their senses, the second round of artillery attacked again. As if they had eyes, they burrowed into crowded places, and then they saw the cannons whizzing past and accurately shooting into the crowds, breaking all the flesh and blood.
The fragments of the limb weapon exploded into several pieces as they flew up and shot into the human body. More thighs, calves, and arms were hit by the fragments, causing large casualties. Waves of rebels fell to the ground and howled.
Boom boom boom boom
Another round of loud bangs, smoke rising, and more cannons roaring past. As the cannons continued to shoot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and blood mist continued to explode everywhere on the yellow earth. There were crackling fractures, loud screams, and the rebels screamed at the top of their lungs.
Frightened and confused, most people didn't know what to do. Most people first fired a bullet in the barrel of their gun into the blurry front.
The soul-stirring artillery on the opposite side kept firing. One cannon killed a flag officer and blew up all the flags in the cavalry camp.
The terrified rebels were howling in fear and couldn't hear clearly what the commanders of each team were saying. Most of the rebels were following the flags of their respective teams and running.
The flag officer, who was being cared for by the artillery, fell to the ground together with the military flag. Suddenly, he heard a shocking sound like a thunderous torrent coming from the left and right. It was the rolling enemy cavalry.
"kill"
The rebels saw several heads "exposed" thousands of meters away in front of the smoke. Thousands of Qing infantrymen killed them with swords, guns and clubs.
Yang Zhao led more than 30 bodyguards and rushed to the front of the team, waving their sabers. They all rode horses with full horsepower and rushed to the loess slope with great hooves.
Yao Bin, wearing military uniforms, led a group of landowners and armed forces closely behind the cavalry. The charging posture of thousands of people looked majestic from a distance.
Two "tidal" torrents of cavalry on the left and right of the loess slope were thrusting toward their wings. This was the main force of the Qing army. They often appeared suddenly on the battlefield like life-threatening creatures in hell.
The two streams of iron were surging and pounding on the ground, making a thumping sound like a roiling yellow dragon. The murderous aura that enveloped the world seemed to rush straight into the sky. Many rebels were frightened by these two terrifying auras. Some even
I forgot to run away and pulled the trigger as hard as I could to kill the oncoming Qing soldiers.
