Ten bronze cannons roared together, and continuous cannons poured down the hillside. The Qing army used the cannons to form a blockade, dividing the enemy into two parts. The cannons had eyes as they fell into the enemy camp, and their flesh and blood bodies were blown to pieces.
The roar of the artillery was more terrifying than the Qing army's shouts of killing, which made the rebel soldiers feel timid, and no rebel soldiers climbed up the hillside.
The mentality of the enemy and us in the hand-to-hand fight on the hillside were completely different. The rebel army was in chaos. Lei Heng, who originally wanted to win the victory with the human sea tactic, felt regret and annoyance in his heart. Li Ziying, who should not have been provoked, now the rebel army.
In a dilemma, Li Guolou's artillery tactics were various. He no longer had the determination to continue fighting. Looking at the smoke-filled battlefield, Lei Heng could not make up his mind. The outcome of the battle was still undecided. Now he would be defeated as soon as he retreated. His family fortune
It's going to be ruined.
Lei Heng hesitated for a moment, hearing the constant sound of cannons, and lost his ability to judge calmly. He still wanted to fight with Li Ziying. When the barrels were hot, the enemy would stop shelling. But he did not consider the dozens of bronze cannons.
It has been placed on the top of a high slope, and the enemy is aiming for artillery fire. The bombed rebel soldiers are suffering under the hillside, and they will be unable to bear it at any time. More than 2,000 rebel soldiers are showing signs of collapse.
With a heart as strong as stone, Lei Heng lay down on the grass and gave orders to disperse the troops to avoid the Qing army's artillery attacks. The brutal hand-to-hand combat between the warriors on the hillside gave him the determination and courage to fight to the end.
The bronze cannon is a front-loading cannon with a very fast rate of fire and a range of up to 200 to 300 meters. Within 100 meters, artillerymen can point to where to hit. The artillery observer does not use a gun scope, and the thumb of his left hand is placed on the
In front of his eyes, he estimated the enemy's distance with his eyes, turned the handle to adjust the angle of the gun barrel, and then the gunner lit the fuse, and a four-pound cannon flew out of the barrel and jumped into the enemy camp.[
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the bronze cannon is not as powerful as the howitzer, but it is lighter and can be pulled out for fighting at any time. It is not restricted by the environment. Two soldiers can lift a bronze cannon. Now Li Ziying's bronze cannons are constantly being lifted.
On the high slope, there were already fifty bronze cannons. The fifty bronze cannons fired together were powerful enough to blow people into pieces. The blockade formed by the cannons became so terrifying that within two hundred meters of the hillside, towers of fire rose up.
Clouds of smoke and raging gunfire wreak havoc on life.
What makes the rebels even more frightened is that there are more and more red flags on the high slopes. Looking up, they can see the Li Zi battle flag approaching. Taking advantage of the momentum of hand-to-hand fighting, the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying rushed down the hillside. The hillside was constantly "revealed"
The figure pressed forward, and it looked like thousands of troops were coming to kill him.
The rebel army became timid. The corps leader, team officer, and sentry officer took the lead in turning around and fleeing back. They were surrounded by hilly areas. As long as they were out of Li Ziying's attack range, they could escape. Lei Heng's team had already become
Bandits, if you can't beat them, run away. This is the rule of thumb for bandits on the run.
The group effect is vividly reflected on the battlefield. As long as someone escapes, the entire battlefield is like a hornet's nest and everything is in chaos. The team will immediately lose its organizational structure. The rebel soldiers who were lying on the grass and enduring the torment of artillery fire will run away.
The true colors of the rebel army were finally exposed, and the rogue bandit's three axes could not succeed. More than 2,000 rebel soldiers saw the bloody hand-to-hand combat and lost the courage to continue fighting.
The fighter plane was fleeting, and when they saw the enemy fleeing, they left their backs to themselves. The officers and soldiers of Li Ziying on the battlefield seemed to have been pumped, and they mustered up the courage to charge, and they all fought desperately into the "rebellious" army.
He faced the arrow and showed his true nature as a man, and the charge horn resounded throughout the entire position.
"Kill kill kill kill!"
All the soldiers in the position rushed out of the position, the red flags all over the mountains and plains were fluttering in the morning breeze, and the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying rushed to kill them in overwhelming numbers.
Li Guolou waved his pistol and rushed up the high slope. His excitement could be expressed in words. He overlooked the entire battlefield. The pursuit was like beating a drowned dog. He defeated the main force of more than 2,000 enemies with a thousand men.
Moreover, more than 60% of the soldiers in Li Ziying are recruits who have been recruited for more than a month. These recruits recruited from the Yan'an area are very mixed. Some are villagers who were forcibly captured, some are surrenderers who surrendered on the battlefield, and some are
The veterans of Gaoziying have changed their minds in such a short period of time in the good atmosphere of Liziying and become brave warriors who dare to fight. Xinwutang's ideological education has made the greatest contribution. The army's fine tradition of leading the new with the old must be persevered.
Inherit it.
Li Guolou looked at the war scene. He only had to stand under the red flag. The pursuit did not require his command. Each Li-character battle flag was the commander. When the Li-character battle flag moved forward into the wind, there would be officers and soldiers of the Li-character battalion following him.
With the battle situation like this, there is no longer any suspense, and the scale of victory is tilted towards him.
As the old saying goes, "Don't chase the poor enemy!"
But how can we destroy the enemy without pursuing them? Li Guolou would not pay the money to withdraw his troops, but chase the fleeing enemies until they can no longer pursue them.
Will he fall into the enemy's trap? Where will the enemy's rear army set up the battlefield? Li Guolou didn't think too much. The soldiers charging ahead will inevitably be shot. Even if he falls into the enemy's trap, hundreds of Li Zi will be killed.
Li Guolou did not hesitate to recruit officers and soldiers of the battalion. As a commander, his heart has changed.
It is not his character to be as ruthless as a stone. It is not his character to give in when something is good. What he wants is a big victory. It is not as simple as defeating Lei Heng, but to completely eliminate Lei Heng's main force and turn the rebels into rogues.
, only the use of local armed forces can wipe out the remaining strength of the rebel army.
A blocking battle brought about earth-shaking changes in the comparison of strength between the enemy and ourselves. Everywhere we looked we saw enemies kneeling down begging for surrender. The Qing army already had a numerical advantage. Many rebel soldiers who were escaping turned around and saw that the Qing army was behind them.
After chasing him, he knelt on the ground and surrendered as soon as his legs became weak.
This is a competition of endurance. If you want to escape faster, you must throw away the weapons in your hands. Many escaping rebel soldiers fled into the mountains and forests empty-handed. If they are left alone? What awaits them will be starvation to death in the mountains and forests.
, wolves will stalk and chase you at any time, tearing away delicious human flesh.
Li Guolou also wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the enemy's rear troops and waited for new battle reports. He hoped that Battle's cavalry could bring a successful conclusion to this blocking battle. At this time, Li Guolou didn't know where his cavalry troops had gone.
Before the war, he still knew the approximate location of each team, but from the first shot
The battle situation was developing in a favorable direction. Victory came so quickly that he had no time to mobilize his troops. If every team had followed its pre-war mission and waited for new military orders to be issued, the enemy would have disappeared long ago.
Troops without meritorious service will be scolded to death by him, and people with dead brains are not good enough to take on big responsibilities.
At this time, Li Guolou could only wait. All the thousand men and horses in his hand were used, and he even sent out the last one hundred Goshha. Instead of looking at the battlefield, he turned around and looked in the direction of Luo Da Township.
, hoping that a miracle can happen.
The red flag was waving. On the winding mountain road, Fan Ye led the four sentry troops to the battlefield in time. Seeing this scene, Li Guolou was quite pleased. His officers gave full play to their subjective initiative. Fan Ye was an indispensable member.
The extravagant general happily held Fan Ye's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Officer Fan! If you fight well, I can defeat the enemy's main force. How can the team still fight?" [
"Report to Chief Li, Fan Ye is leading the four sentry troops to wait for Chief Li's order!" Fan Ye replied breathlessly, trying to straighten his back as much as possible. The arrogant Manchus have their own pride.
"Yeah! Good job. I order you to lead the four sentry troops to pursue the fleeing Lei Heng until it becomes dark and you can't see clearly." Li Guolou pointed his big hand and sent out the new troops.
This is the courage of a general. Even if there are a large number of enemies ahead, he can let his subordinates deal with them on their own. Li Guolou only needs to grasp the scale of the battle situation, have the demeanor of a commander, and exert his coordinating ability to let every officer do his best.
Its use is to mobilize everyone's potential, so that heroes can show their true colors in times of crisis.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission." Fan Ye led more than 400 soldiers to pursue the enemy at a rapid march, and soon disappeared from the horizon.
As Li Guolou's latest military order is conveyed, each commander and fighter has a different understanding of the military order. It is conveyed from the battalion officer level to each sentry, each team, and each regiment. Some team officers obey the order and
Okay, just pursue the enemy according to your ability and be satisfied if you capture a group of prisoners. Some teams
The officer had already been dazzled by the victory. He led his team into the jungle and chased the enemy fiercely. Even the sentry officer did not know where the team had gone. The pursuit evolved into an attack from all directions. The enemy and we were chasing each other on the hills.
Come on, the intertwined battle situation makes people confused.
The fighting situation at this time depends on the veterans in each regiment, and the regiment leader decides the direction of the regiment. How will the battle ahead be? What is the record? No one can say for sure. Anyway, a big victory has been won, and everyone on the battlefield has
They are dark prisoners of war.
Li Guolou did not move, and he did not know which group of enemies he was chasing. He could only inspect the captured firearms and prisoners of war.
He saw a group of unkempt female prisoners of war, at least 200 of them, sitting on the grass, staring at him stupidly. Li Guolou was stunned for a moment, and he quickly realized and shouted: "Asshole, who let them sit down?"
Those who are resting on the ground, tie them all up and search them again, and don’t hide even a needle. Where are the people from Chengkun? Do you want to be whipped?"
"Sir Li, I am in charge of these prisoners of war, I think." Zhang Haojie looked at Li Guolou with a playful smile. Before he could finish his words, Li Guolou's whip had already hit him in the face.
"Don't make me say it a second time, understand?" Li Guolou frowned and looked like he wanted to eat someone. He didn't want to be so happy that he would be tragically stabbed to death by a female prisoner of war.
"Yes!" Zhang Haojie was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He stood straight on the spot. The Chu army's military law was cruel. If he didn't obey the military orders, he would only die.
"These female prisoners of war will all be handed over to Marshal Zuo." Li Guolou put aside his words and did not look at the crying faces. He did not want to listen to the story of the miserable world. Weak women hold guns and do the same.
Kill people and set fire, surrender if you can't run fast, and show them howling like ghosts and wolves? The enemy is the enemy. Regardless of male or female, prisoners of war who have not undergone transformation must be vigilant and nip the danger before it burns.
Li Guolou did not want to leave a bad impression on Zuo Zongtang. No one would like a female monster who looked like a ghost. Li Ziying had strict military discipline and treated prisoners of war like family members.
"But yes!" Zhang Haojie said it before he swallowed it. He didn't want to reason with Li Guolou, so he went to the rice cook to complain. Li Guolou kept his word and said he would only care about military affairs, how could he "meddle" in logistics?
You don't need to listen to this kind of military order. Let Master Fan Dahui do the reasonable things. He doesn't want to be whipped.
Zheng Hengdan was much smarter. He rolled his eyes and thought about it. He quietly approached and whispered softly: "Chief Li, among these female prisoners of war, there must be Lei Heng's woman. Do you want to capture her?"
Li Guolou's body was nailed to the ground all of a sudden, motionless like a wooden stake. It was so terrible. The war made women go away! But the cruel war made women suffer. The woman of the leader of the rebels had to die badly. The leader of the rebels had moved.
Women cannot escape death. These women belong to the family members of the rebels, and being the head of an owl is the lightest punishment. The Manchu Qing Dynasty also had more cruel punishments for women.
Li Guolou hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and decided to bear all the sins on his own and bear the infamy and let the world laugh at him.
After returning to Beijing, I was ridiculed by fellow scholars, smeared by courtiers, and dug up by storytellers. It was all nonsense. Rumors stop with the wise, and the past is gone with the wind.
"Old rules! According to the military exploits, get it done as soon as possible. Master Fan must get it all done before tomorrow night. Those women are not allowed to speak. Li Ziying will not hold a criticism meeting." Li Guolou thought very clearly and would not let talkative women speak.
Chance, he doesn't want to be used as a target.
"Understood, I'll tell Mr. Fan right now." Zheng Hengdan bowed and retreated. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. Instead, he felt a sense of sadness suppressed in his heart. There are many cruel rules in an unfair world. Only people like Li Guolou can
Only those who dare to break this rule.
Zheng Hengdan acted cautiously and loyal to Li Guolou, abandoned the White Lotus Sect belief, and started a new life. In fact, his hatred for the Manchus in his heart has never changed. He has no regrets if he does not believe in the White Lotus Sect. He believes that Li Guolou will one day
Change the world. How can anyone who accepts new ideas be loyal to the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty? Zheng Hengdan had long seen through Li Guolou's dark thoughts.
Fan Ye's troops wiped out a thousand enemies, captured more than a thousand prisoners of war on the frontal battlefield, and killed 500 enemies. Li Ziying captured more than 1,800 prisoners of war, and this number is still increasing.
, the Battle of Luo Daxiang ended with a great victory for the Qing army,
The results of the battle were brilliant. Counselor Zheng Hengdan told the latest battle report. Li Guolou was calm and composed, and did not show any ecstasy. He was waiting. As long as Lei Heng was not caught, the battle would not be considered successful. He looked forward to great success.
The trip to the northwest can have a perfect ending.[
Li Guolou was full of expectations, but he heard a bolt from the blue!
