While the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops in the military camp were performing a hilarious show, and countless soldiers and militiamen were watching the show happily, there was one person who was worried. He was Liu Fengqing. Under the instructions of Dahari, he left Yangzhou City to contact
When the Chinese Revolutionary Army militiamen sneaked into the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp with their help, they discovered that the Chinese Revolutionary Army was abnormal and wanted to go back and report to their master.
But when he was about to leave the camp of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, he found that the gate of the military camp was closed, and hundreds of soldiers stood by the gate with murderous intent, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Seeing this scene, he didn't know what was going on.
He had no choice but to wait and see what would happen, and continued to live in the tent, and sent his men to inquire around. But his men quickly ran back and told him that the Chinese Revolutionary Army's military tent was only allowed in and out.
At first, he felt that there was chaos in the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Liu Fengqing felt happy, so he waited with peace of mind. But the next day, he realized that something was not quite right, because the so-called chaos was not really chaos at all.
This means that they formed an orderly formation and had unified orders. Even when setting fires, they set up wood burning in the cleared space and sprinkled some horse manure and wet grass on it from time to time to make the black smoke emit more and thicker.
Liu Fengqing vaguely felt that there was a conspiracy, but couldn't figure it out for the moment.
After sitting in confusion for a while, he suddenly realized that he had a premonition that the Chinese Revolutionary Army might be trying to lure Dahari in Yangzhou City to take the initiative to attack. If it had been a few days ago, he would have wished that Dahari would immediately
Attack in order to eliminate the Chinese Revolutionary Army as soon as possible, but now he hesitates because his cronies secretly told him that there is a handsome and top military officer of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in the military tent. Even Commander Chen Zilong was respectful when he saw that person.
Dear, that’s so clear. If Liu Fengqing doesn’t know who that person is, then he is in vain. Zhang Huahan is definitely not that easy to deal with. Many Manchu and Qing generals have fallen into his hands. He will do anything.
Everything was carefully thought out. Now that he acts like this to seduce Dahari, it means that he must be acting as a bait!
Liu Fengqing was very anxious, because according to the prior agreement, he should return to Yangzhou immediately after inquiring about the news in the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp. According to information from many sources, he learned that in addition to Zhang Huahan's main army, there were two groups of Chinese Revolutionary Army
The army arrived at the predetermined location to ambush, and then launched an attack on Yangzhou together with Zhang Huahan's main force. According to analysis, this date will be about ten days later.
He learned that the two armies of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were eyeing Yangzhou, and that Dahari had also coveted the wealth of Yangzhou before retreating to Yangzhou City. Not long after entering Yangzhou City, he fell into a situation where he was surrounded on all sides.
, Dahari was only afraid of the great reputation and powerful force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, so he cowered in Yangzhou City and did not dare to attack alone. Now in Yangzhou City, once Dahari hears that there is internal strife in the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, he will definitely immediately
Taking advantage of the situation, I am afraid that before Dahari arrives at the main camp of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to attack Zhang Huahan, other armies of the Chinese Revolutionary Army may attack Yangzhou. Once the Chinese Revolutionary Army captures Yangzhou City, how can Dahari win?
opportunities, and as a result, Dahari will have no place to stay. I am afraid that he will either flee north or be wiped out by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
Liu Fengqing thought of this and couldn't sit still anymore. He organized half of his men and tried to rush out from the north gate, but those men who were sent out were all blocked because they didn't have Zhang Huahan's warrant and couldn't get out at all.
When they tried to break into the military camp, they were all killed on the spot. Moreover, this attracted Zhang Huahan's attention. The Chinese Revolutionary Army patrolled the military camp more intensively, and sent people from time to time to check various units to detect spies.
.
When one move didn't work, he tried another one. Liu Fengqing sent people to check near the wall of the military stronghold to see if he could climb out of the wall. But he soon discovered that although there were not many soldiers on the wall, there were many soldiers inside the stronghold.
At the base of the wall, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps. No one can get close to the wall.
Finally, he thought of a way. He sent people to shoot the letter outside the city with bows and arrows, and promised a reward of 10,000 taels of silver on the letter, hoping that someone who could read would pick up the letter and deliver it to Dahari in Yangzhou.
to go, but since they could not get close to the village wall, all the arrows fell into a place not far from the military village, and some were picked up by soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
This move attracted great attention from the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They knew that there were more agents in the barracks than just those who rushed to the camp gate some time ago, so they launched a large-scale manhunt throughout the barracks and arrested several of Liu Fengqing's men at once.
, he had to escape alone. He got into the thatched haystacks in the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp and hid, because although his men knew very little, they knew him after all, and they also knew that he was in China.
In the military camp of the Revolutionary Army, just as Liu Fengqing expected, just half a quarter of an hour after he left the militia unit of the Chinese Revolutionary Army that had sneaked in, the soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army immediately and thoroughly searched the Chinese army where he was staying.
The militia team of the Revolutionary Army, and took the captain of the militia team of the Chinese Revolutionary Army back for questioning. After such a torment, Liu Fengqing could only stay in the haystack and never go out to report the news again.
He was hiding in the haystack wholeheartedly.
Just when Liu Fengqing was hiding around like a mouse, a burst of hearty laughter came from the commander's mansion in Dahari's camp in Yangzhou City. The laughter came from Dahari, who was sitting in the big tent.
, holding a wine glass in his hand, he persuaded the generals sitting on both sides to drink: "I am happy today, so I invite you all to have a few drinks. Don't be restrained and drink up the wine in one go!"
The generals below immediately picked up their wine glasses, and there was a flood of flattery, praising the old general for being considerate of his subordinates and sharing the joy with everyone. After finishing the wine in the glass, one of them asked: "I wonder why the general is so happy?"
Harry stroked his beard, put down his wine glass, and said, "Haha, I have good news for you today!" After that, he ordered his soldiers: "Go and call them all in!"
Everyone looked outside the tent in confusion and saw three Han people walking in with the soldier. Two of the three were officers of the Manchu Qing Army, while the other was a man dressed as a businessman. The two
Most of the people knew the officer, but the businessman was a bit unfamiliar. As soon as the three people came in, they all knelt down and said: "See the general!" Dahari said: "Okay, get up! Zhao Guerji, you have to spy on you.
Let me tell you what happened when I arrived!”
Zhao Youyi said: "Yes! The general was ordered to go to the vicinity of the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks this morning and found that there was indeed internal strife in the Chinese Revolutionary Army barracks. The gates of the camp were closed tightly, and thick smoke billowed in the military camp. From time to time, there were
Gunshots were heard, and the soldiers on the top of the city were fighting for food. It was really lively! The general also went to check several Chinese Revolutionary Army camps across the river and found that the camps were empty.
All edible things were gone. The general also found several burned bones of birds, mice and other animals in the camp. There were also marks of scratches on them. It seemed that the Chinese Revolutionary Army was not short of food.
rumor."
Seeing the confused looks of the generals, Dahari said: "The thing is like this. A few days ago, General Zhang Wenyuan went to the canal to investigate and found a businessman coming from the south. No, it was down there.
The one standing there. By the way, what's your name? Tell us about the chaos in the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp!" Dahari said to the businessman.
The businessman cupped his fists and said: "The villain's name is Chen Dashan. He is a businessman from Nanjing. He is now doing grain business near Yangzhou City. After the imperial army fought with the Chinese Revolutionary Army, many of the Chinese Revolutionary Army were scared away by the imperial army. Oh no.
, they ran away in fear, or they were rioters, yes, they were rioters who refused to obey the court's orders and did not follow the general's instructions to enter Yangzhou City. The Chinese Revolutionary Army gave these rebels general food, and distributed so much food to them.
People quickly ate up all the food in the Chinese Revolutionary Army. In order to be good people and buy reputation, the Chinese Revolutionary Army did not hesitate to use all the food to help the rebellious people. As a result, the army began to be short of food. Originally, they
They thought they could transport food from Luzhou, but unexpectedly the food was robbed by General Tuhai halfway through the transportation, and not a grain of rice was delivered. Starting from three days ago, the Chinese Revolutionary Army was completely out of food.
Cats and dogs were killed and eaten, and some cases of rats and wild vegetables began to be eaten. In order to grab food, some Chinese Revolutionary Army sergeants clashed with the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops who were guarding the food and patrolling. Both sides fought with fists and kicks.
It's time to use a knife or a gun! In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Chinese Revolutionary Army collected grain at a high price and sent people to collect grain everywhere. The villain was also greedy for money, so he took risks and tried his luck in the south to see if he could
You can't buy food. You know, the price promised by the Chinese Revolutionary Army is one tael of silver per catty of rice! It's a little more than the one tael of silver and three catties of rice promised by the general. The villain was also confused for a moment, and was sold by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
I've taken advantage of it, general, please forgive the villain! Spare the villain's life!" After saying that, he knelt down again and kept kowtowing.
Dahari smiled and said: "Didn't I, the general, say that? As long as what you said is true, I will spare you. Now Zhao Guerji's words have proved that you did not lie, so you can leave, but what you brought
The five thousand taels of silver and some rice grains used to buy rice cannot be returned to you, they will be treated as punishment! What do you think? Do you have any objection?"
Chen Dashan immediately said: "I thank the general for not killing you! I am willing to donate all the money and food!" Dahari glanced at the crowd and said: "Zhao Guerrilla has made great contributions this time, and he should be well rewarded.
Fan, I will promote him to the rank of staff general now. As for General Zhang, he has also made great achievements. In this way, you will be reinstated and serve as your guerrilla general. However, you must live in harmony with General Zhao in the future.
Don't argue with him anymore, he is your commander now and you must obey his orders!"
Zhang Wenyuan and General Zhao, who was promoted to General, looked at each other. Zhang Wenyuan saw the mocking look in General Zhao's eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart, thinking: "One day, I will drive scum like you out of the army."
!”
After the three of them came out of their tent, Dahari said: "Now that the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp is in chaos, it is a good time to attack! I have decided to detach most of the troops from the camp tonight and leave Yangzhou City, and the entire army will march towards the Chinese Army.
The revolutionary army marches towards the enemy camp and strives to reach the enemy camp tomorrow evening. We must attack them unprepared and defeat the main force of the Chinese revolutionary army. They must think that I dare not go out and take the initiative to attack in Yangzhou City. This time, let them have a taste of the Qing Dynasty.
The military power!"
One day later, at midnight in the evening, Dahari's army had successfully arrived at the west bank of the canal. There was not even a shadow of a Chinese Revolutionary Army soldier along the way. The scouts sent out also sent back news that the gates of the Chinese Revolutionary Army's military camp were closed.
, thick smoke billowed in the village, and there were not many soldiers on the wall.
In fact, Dahari had already seen the black smoke rising in the distance without the reward of exploring the horse. Although he could not see the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, except for the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, which military camp was there in that direction? Liu Zeqing ordered
The army immediately crossed the canal. Although his generals advised him to wait until tomorrow when he was ready to cross the river, he could not wait any longer because one of his cavalry units attacked a Chinese revolutionary army transporting grain from the canal in the south of Yangzhou City.
It is obvious that the Chinese Revolutionary Army has begun to transport food from the canal to the military stronghold. If we do not seize the time to conquer the city in one fell swoop, it will be difficult to conquer the enemy when there is food in the military stronghold and the morale of the army stabilizes.
In order to cross the canal as quickly as possible, Dahari ordered his people to collect ships from nearby. It was obvious that the Chinese Revolutionary Army had taken away all the big ships, so after some searching, only a dozen small fishing boats were found. Dahari ordered his men to take these
The small fishing boats were connected and put on planks to form a small pontoon. Then he took the lead and rushed to the west bank of the canal.
When all the army crossed the canal, it was already dark when they arrived at Haishi. Dahari did not want to stay, so he left 5,000 men to guard the pontoon bridge on the canal, and then immediately led the entire army westward, heading towards China with murderous intent.
The revolutionary army came to the camp.
After nearly an hour of rapid marching, Dahari's army finally arrived two miles outside the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp. Dahari was riding a horse, trying hard to identify the wall of the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, but the moon was blocked by clouds.
It was so tight that there was no light at all. Only the sky-high flames in the city reflected the long outline of the stronghold wall. This was indeed the main military stronghold of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Dahari summoned the generals and discussed for a while.
It was decided to launch an attack without waiting for the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops in the camp to react and break the camp in one fell swoop.
He sent an order and ordered the soldiers to prepare a siege formation. One-third of them were holding torches, but they were not allowed to light the torches without an order. According to the report of the detective horse, he ordered his three generals to each take a thousand men to attack the three approaching areas.
He took charge of the abandoned earth fortress of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and began to erect the horses brought by the army to serve as a wall to support and protect the main force. At the same time, he ordered the artillery to move the thirty red cannons brought with the army.
It was set up in a high-lying earthen stronghold closest to the east of the Chinese Revolutionary Army's stronghold, and was prepared to use fierce firepower to destroy the Chinese Revolutionary Army's east stronghold wall if the attack on the stronghold failed.
When everything was ready, Dahari waved the sword in his hand and ordered: "Attack forward! The army advances slowly!" Dahari had already known from Tanma that there were many refugee shacks outside the city, and these shacks happened to be located near the army.
On the way forward, in order to prevent the refugees in the shacks from making noise and alerting the defenders in the city, he ordered his deputy general to lead 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, walk half a mile in front of the Manchu army, rush into the shacks first, and seize the people inside.
All the refugees who were frightened by their capture and fled here were killed.
When the deputy general of the Qing army rushed in with his soldiers, he found that there was not a single refugee in those shacks, just some bark and grass roots. The only sound left in the quiet refugee camp was the breathing of the Manchu and Qing army soldiers. Look.
They came because the Chinese Revolutionary Army also ran out of food and these refugees fled further away.
After receiving the news from the deputy general that there were no refugees, Dahari immediately ordered the troops to change from slow to fast. Nearly 100,000 Manchu and Qing troops rushed towards the wall of the military camp in the darkness. To Dahari's joy, until now, the army
There has been no movement from the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops in the village, and no one can be seen on the wall of the military village. It seems that they are really too hungry to move. He proudly ordered the deputy general to organize an attack force consisting of a thousand Han people.
The city's death squad climbed up the wall first.
The person who commanded this siege death squad was Dahari's nephew Aman. He waved the sword in his hand and ordered: "Give it to me!" Following his order, the death squad rushed to the wall of the village and set up the wall.
The death squads of the Manchu and Qing army climbed onto the wall and rushed in.
After rushing into the Chinese Revolutionary Army camp, the camps were lying on the ground. Military supplies and everything were empty. Only then did the Manchu and Qing Army soldiers realize that there was no enemy in the entire Chinese Revolutionary Army camp and it was an empty tent.
After Dahari saw all this, his face was filled with shock. At this time, a man covered in thatch ran from the side and shouted: "General Dahari, I want to see General Dahari." The Qing soldiers on the side immediately rushed to the side.
The man grabbed him, but the man struggled desperately and said: "I am not a spy, I am Liu Fengqing."
Dahari had a gloomy face. He walked up to the man covered in thatch and saw that it was really Liu Fengqing. "Why are you here? Why didn't you go back and send me information?" "We were fooled! General Dahari." Hearing Liu Fengqing's words
After hearing the intelligence, Dahari's heart sank immediately when he learned that he had been deceived. Knowing that the city of Yangzhou was difficult to protect, he immediately led his army back to the city. He thought that as long as his army returned reinforcements quickly, even the Chinese Revolutionary Army could capture Yangzhou.
The city could not be controlled for a while. After all, there were still a thousand Manchu elites and 20,000 Green Camp soldiers guarding the city, as well as a large number of refugee cannon fodder. Those refugee cannon fodder could hold back the siege army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army as long as they
If you can rush back quickly, you can control the situation and drive away and defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
