On the morning of the same day, there were bursts of gunfire and artillery fire outside the south gate of Yan'an City. Battelle led the soldiers and horses of Li Ziying to fight the rebel army. The contact battle was not easy. The expanded number of more than a thousand soldiers and only more than 300 guns engaged the two sides. Just two trenches were lost. The soldiers of Li Ziying had retreated to the third line of defense.
It was very difficult to command these new soldiers. It was useless to tear out their throats. Fortunately, the rebels who launched the charge were not much better. When they heard the sound of the cannon, they all fell down and did not dare to charge.
If the fight continues like this, the team will collapse. Battelle is cursing but shouting in vain. The rebel army has several artillery roars, most of which miss, but it is enough to frighten the courage of the newcomers. Artillery can't do anything
Thick smoke and billowing black clouds filled the air in Yan'an City. More and more rebels rushed out of the city gate and moved forward in an irreversible posture.
In the forward position, Cheng Kun walked up to Battelle with his waist bent and shouted: "Bayingguan, the enemy is trying their best to break out from us. The soldiers are unable to hold on. Let's give way, release the enemy, and I will lead those idiots." When fighting a fire in the city, you lead the main force and follow Lei Heng."[
"Good-for-nothing bastard" Battle looked at the new soldiers who were shooting in the fortifications in front. They didn't even take aim and loaded the weapon, so they stretched out the gun barrel and fired randomly. This battle is impossible to fight. If the enemy launches a charge, the team will collapse. Naidao: "Listen to you, I will lead the cavalry to destroy part of the enemy and order the frontline troops to withdraw."
"Catch Lei Heng and we must not let this kid escape from our grasp. Li Ziying cannot afford to lose face." Cheng Kun confessed and ran to the forward position to command the troops to retreat.
There were many veterans of the Li Ziying camp on the front line. If these people were to die, they would not be able to lead the team until the third round. The officers and soldiers of the Li Ziying camp could not hold it any longer. They picked up the Li Ziying flag and evacuated the battlefield, leaving the road to the insurgents. Find a way to escape
The charging army was as powerful as a rainbow. The rebel army moved forward in waves. The vanguard battalion was well-organized and brave and tenacious. The flanks carefully protected the Chinese army's provisions and baggage. There were many vehicles and even women sitting on the carriages. The rebel army's team They formed a fan, took the initiative, and moved forward with a life-threatening posture to form three camps. At the end, there were groups of ordinary people dragging their families along with them, with more than tens of thousands of people following them.
The experienced Battle led more than 400 cavalry to stay away from the battlefield and did not dare to approach the enemy's large army. The rabble was so numerous and equipped with guns and artillery that they formed a desperate momentum on the battlefield. Even Li Ziying, composed of veterans, did not dare to touch the rebels' tigers. Must
The sentry commander Zhang Haojie tightened his horse's reins in great anxiety and said: "Bayingguan, the enemy is breaking out towards Ganquan County, what should we do there where our army's defense is weak?"
Battle yelled anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not in a hurry. If you don't hurt the enemy, our actions to preserve our strength will be criticized. Mr. Li won't use us anymore. Send me the rangers to find a soft persimmon. Let's eat it first." One bite of meat and then find a way to eat the fat sheep one bite at a time.”
Battelle adheres to Li Guolou's philosophy and does not fight the enemy until it is absolutely necessary. Li Guolou is not a general soldier and can recruit thousands of troops. Li Ziying has a formal establishment and only has one reinforced battalion. The available troops under his command have begun to take shape. Now they are crippled and go back. Easy to explain
Battelle was quite frustrated that the enemy's strong and dark troops could not see the end. He only had more than 400 soldiers at his disposal. Those newly recruited recruits were overwhelmed by the enemy's sudden breakthrough and burned down the granary in Yan'an City. So many rebels left the city and it was like running away from the reins. The wild horses will be divided into several groups of bandit armed forces that are causing harm to the place. He has no idea how to fight next. More than four hundred cavalrymen will be surrounded and eaten by the enemy if they are not careful.
Battelle didn't have Li Guolou's scheming and just followed Li Guolou's idea step by step. Lei Heng, the battalion officer who was originally in charge of the transport camp, was prepared for the sudden rebellion of the Ge Laohui members, so he took emergency measures in the shortest possible time. But now the situation is strange. Thousands of rebels rushed out of Yan'an City. This made him overwhelmed and he would be in trouble if he didn't fight. He was not sure where the war would go next. He could only disperse the cavalry around him into several small troops along the way. 』The small force that disturbed the rebel army
The rebel army was divided into several small units with different strengths. The old, weak, sick and disabled mobs soon fell behind. These people walked forward carrying broadswords and spears. Later, they could not even carry the weapons and grain bags in their hands, dragging and dragging along. Troop last
For these useless anti-thief rangers, they first began to harass. The cavalry fired a shot to spy on the enemy's reality. Finally, they found out the details. This was a weak force of cannon fodder. The Li Ziying cavalry was dispatched to urge the war horses to roll. Yellow clouds move forward, covering the battlefield. The sound of horse hooves shaking the battlefield stirs people's hearts.
More than 400 cavalry formed a siege against more than 3,000 mobs. Many of them were Yan'an residents with their families. Their homes were destroyed and they wanted to survive with the rebels. But during the war, how could the rebels care about these burdens and let them go? Families left to fend for themselves
The sound of gunfire continued, and one mob after another fell to death on the green grass. The Qing army used the tactics of pack wolves and sheep to drive away the mob. It seemed that the Qing army did not see the enemy kneeling down and surrendered. If they wanted to shoot, they would shoot. Horse hooves would rise up and trample everything. This is war. There is no benevolence and no moral restraint. As long as the commander gives the order, the soldiers become killing machines and massacre without emotion. Those so-called teachers of benevolence and righteousness are good at this. They attribute everything to war and even put it in the hands of the enemy. Those who know the truth Those who either fell to the ground or participated in the massacre. Those who followed the rebels out of the city were all rebels and should be killed.
Battle vented the anger of losing a battle on these mobs and wanted to slaughter them all. The battlefield was full of dead bodies. At least one or two thousand people had died on the yellow soil. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire in the distance. It should be two teams. Got angry
The Rangers came to report that Yang Dawazi's troops were fighting with the rebels. The fighting was fierce at Huangtugang on the left wing.
Battle's expression changed and he shouted: "Stop shooting. Wei Qun led a group of troops to gather the prisoners of war, blew the rallying call, lit up the flag for me, and prepared to attack the enemies on the left wing."
Battelle was so clever that he did not raise any flags when he carried out the massacre. Now he must cooperate with friendly forces to fight and immediately display the big flag with the letter "Li". The remaining civilians, children, women and children on the battlefield were able to save their lives. The battle was full of variables and survived. The prisoners became witnesses of the Qing army's good treatment of the enemy. The life and death of the prisoners of war were only in the commander's thoughts. The war was full of uncertainty. More than a thousand civilians who were originally destined to die here survived.
"Women" and children cried bitterly and were sad. Their fate was tragic. The eyes were full of corpses, blood stained and the vast land was in chaos. That banner of avoiding death came too late. Why did the banner with the letter "Li" arrive? More than a thousand civilians and children who survived, "Women" "The child is still happy to meet the living Bodhisattva Li Zi who rescues the suffering people [
Yang Dawazi risked his life and led 180 cavalry to pursue the rebels. Mu San led more than a thousand newly recruited infantry to follow behind. Yang Dawazi originally wanted to attack Yan'an City, but he did not expect that a fire made them unable to do anything. They have occupied three grain warehouses, but in order to prove their innocence and fight the rebels to the death, Yang Dawazi and Mu San discussed that he would follow the fleeing rebels to find fighter planes for a fight.
Yang Dawazi led one hundred and eighty cavalrymen and urged their war horses to catch up with a group of rebels. Seeing the rebels' irregular formation, the fighter planes were fleeting and gave an order to cut off a group of rebels in the middle. The cavalry showed their mobility and flexibility. One hundred and eighty
The ten cavalry seemed to be far more than this number. Yang Dawazi used only this few men and horses to smash more than a thousand rebels. The more than a thousand rebels were unable to advance or retreat, but Yang Dawazi dragged them on the plain.
Yang Dawazi was not in a hurry. He knew that Battelle's troops were nearby. Besides, Mu San led more than a thousand infantry to the battlefield. He was sure to win this battle. After one round of charge, he stopped charging and fired with intensive volleys of guns.
His men, all veterans, seized the opportunity to seize the initiative on the battlefield and suppressed more than a thousand rebels on the plain, allowing the rebels to fully experience the power of volleys of gunfire. Two waves of charges were killed.
The rebels no longer dare to show their heads
"Grandma's rabble, this bunch of losers still want to rebel." Yang Dawazi couldn't believe that the rebels were too weak. They should be a weak recruit. Lei Heng led the Ge Laohui members in a hasty uprising and didn't even have time to train the army.
What kind of rebel?
He is the opponent of the Qing army. He has experienced the power of the Chu army. If he meets the Chu army and is evenly matched with him, he will be defeated at most. He is secretly glad that this time he has the impulse to betray the Qing Dynasty again. Otherwise, following Lei Heng's rebellion, he will surely go down the wrong path.
a road of no return
There were bursts of bugles in the distance. Who were the troops using Western bugles? It was clear to both sides on the battlefield that the mentality of both sides changed immediately. Yang Dawazi's more than one hundred soldiers all showed happy faces as reinforcements.
Already morale has been boosted
The rebel commander Liu Mingqi tore his throat and his subordinates were willing to charge. Two of his subordinates, Goshiha, winked at each other and rushed forward. One Goshiha snatched the weapon from the hand of commander Liu Mingqi and the other Goshiha.
Punch Liu Mingqi hard on the head
It is unimaginable to rebel in Geshiha. They are the dead soldiers of the master and should stand in the way of the master. But it shows that these Ge Laohui members are deeply disgusted by the killing of Gao Liansheng by their eldest brother Lei Heng. They are full of contradictions in their hearts. Many Gelaohui members are wavering between loyalty and national justice.
Uncertain, but at this time, loyalty prevails over national justice. Since there is a legitimate and justifiable reason, under the adverse circumstances of the war, we immediately strike back.
"Damn I told you to kill me" There are already more than a dozen Goshiha beating Liu Mingqi. At this moment, they all become justice supporters of the Qing Dynasty. Every punch and every kick is to avenge the lord Gao Liansheng.
More than a thousand rebels suddenly turned against each other on the battlefield, allowing the two Qing armies to meet victoriously on the battlefield. They were supposed to embrace each other warmly. At this time, Yang Dawazi was scolding Battelle and said angrily: "Bat'er, are you eating shit? Why?
You can’t just grit your teeth and hold on for a while. You can’t defeat such a piece of trash and you still boast of having 3,000 troops. Look how many troops I have.”
Battle has a grievance, saying that the fact is before him that he opened the road to allow the rebels to escape. If there were heavy casualties, it would be justified. The worst thing is that the idea of conserving strength is serious. This is a taboo of an army and must not be exposed. We cannot afford to lose this person.
ah
"Yang Da, you don't understand the situation. I only have five hundred cavalry. The others are captured civilians. I don't have three thousand people plus one thousand men and horses. The main force of the rebels is strong and has more than tens of thousands of men and horses. There are more than ten thousand guns, grenades, and more than a dozen guns."
Cannon Li Ziying suffered heavy casualties." Battelle told lies with his eyes open and would never expose the fact that Li Ziying gave way.
Yang Dawazi was extremely satisfied with the situation of the battle but said, "I will go back to you to settle the score and you will be fully responsible for the failure of the siege of Yan'an."
Battelle lamented: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, Yang Da. I will definitely atone for my sins."
"Shit, how can you atone for your sins? Now you know where Lei Heng's main force has fled to." Yang Dawazi looked at the dim southern wilderness. The rebels who escaped had turned into several troops. There were thousands of rebels on the vast loess slopes.
Fleeing and pursuing a war is a waste of money and people, and will result in little gain.
