Dahari, anxious, gathered all the troops and pulled the artillery back anxiously. He commanded the troops to march back to Yangzhou City, continued to build a floating bridge not far from the canal, and sent five thousand soldiers to guard it. Under Dahari's urging
The Qing army was less than four miles away from Yangzhou City before the next day.
Dahari stood outside the city and heard nothing in the city. However, the flag of the Chinese Revolutionary Army had been hung on Yangzhou City. The four gates were closed, but there was no patrolman on the city wall. Dahari was secretly happy. It seemed that the Chinese Revolution was
The military must have been entangled because it has not completely controlled the city, but he is not sure why there is no movement. Could it be that the two sides of the war temporarily cease to rest? No matter what, Yangzhou City must be recaptured, and
He believed that the Chinese Revolutionary Army could not have expected that he could return to the aid so quickly, so he immediately sent another siege suicide squad composed of a thousand Han people to quickly advance to the moat.
Yangzhou is located in the Jiangnan Water Network area, with rivers crisscrossing here, and the moat in Yangzhou is nearly ten feet wide. Although it is not as wide as the moat in Xiangyang, it is still an obstacle to Dahali's troops siege. Looking at Yangzhou, where the city is high and the river is wide, it is still an obstacle to Dahali's troops' siege.
City, Dahari smiled bitterly. This was originally the city he guarded.
In order to successfully regain Yangzhou, Dahari had already ordered his subordinates to use the siege ladder to lay five sturdy long ladders, lay wooden boards on it, and when he arrived at the moat, he ordered his subordinates to put the ladder across the moat and in the middle
Several large sealed wooden boxes were placed, so that five simple floating bridges were built.
A thin Qing Green Camp soldier was the first to step onto the floating bridge. He stepped on his legs tremblingly and moved forward on the shaking floating bridge. Five soldiers were following him.
, On their shoulders, carrying a cloud ladder. After they crossed the river, they would erect the ladder under the city wall so that the soldiers following behind could climb up the city wall. The same scene was also staged on other pontoon bridges. First,
Those who cross the river are all cloud ladders.
On the dark moat, the Qing soldiers walked carefully, trying to maintain their balance. The surroundings were terrible, and only the rustling sounds made by the river when they hit the floating bridge came into their ears.
The thin Qing Qing Green Camp soldier moved forward while looking up to see if the opponent's soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and threw down the wooden rocks. What made him feel at ease was that until now, the city was
There was still a quietness on his head, and he felt secretly happy and continued to move forward.
Finally crossing the river, the six people in front of them quickly erected the first ladder. With a slight "bang", the ladder was placed on the city wall. Then a Manchu soldier following them carried the right hand
The knife, holding the ladder with his left hand, slowly climbed up. Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the city, suddenly, a "ah" scream came, and the knife in the hands of the Qing soldiers fell down and inserted it into the
On the soil beside the city wall, his men fell down and smashed down several soldiers following him climbing the ladder.
It turned out that among the "refugees", there were about thousands of Chinese Revolutionary Army militia soldiers as internal forces, and Liu Xiaoliu was instigated to be internal forces in the Green Camp guarding the city. With the cooperation of a large number of internal forces, the army led by Zhang Huahan only used it.
Yangzhou City was captured in two hours, and only one thousand Qing Eight Banners soldiers resisted. Under the attack and killing of tens of thousands of troops, one thousand people were killed before they were fiercely fought. The remaining Qing Green Camp soldiers surrendered one after another.
.
In order to prevent the Qing army from returning to attack the city, Zhang Huahan had already sent twenty cavalry to prepare for the news of the Qing army's return to the rescue and seize the city. He wrapped the horse's hooves with cloth, wore black clothes, divided them into four groups, and hid them respectively.
In the four directions of the city, we are responsible for night surveillance. Once the enemy army is discovered, we will immediately ride a horse to the distance and report to the city according to the pre-appointed signal. If the enemy appears in the east, he will hold a torch, and the enemy appears in the north.
Just raise two torches, three torches appear in the west, and four torches appear in the south.
Tonight, the soldiers guarding the city of the Chinese Revolutionary Army saw a torch appearing in the southeast of the city. They knew that the enemy had appeared in the east, so they quickly reported it to Zhang Huahan. Zhang Huahan smiled and immediately ordered the entire army to gather and prepare to fight the Qing army.
At the same time, he ordered other defenders to closely monitor the west, north and south directions outside the city to see if the enemy troops arrived.
Since there were no signals in other directions, Zhang Huahan sent most of the troops to the east with confidence. The soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army quietly climbed up the city wall and lie down under the battlements. There were several soldiers almost every 1 zhang, all of them
The gun has good bullets, and those with bayonets are equipped with bayonets, and those without use machetes, waiting for the enemy to attack.
After Dahari saw that the Qing army soldier was stabbed by a bayonet, he knew that things were worse than he thought. He was very doubtful about how the Chinese Revolutionary Army took Yangzhou so quickly, on the city wall
There was not even a little blood or ash in artillery fire. Could it be that the Chinese Revolutionary Army could take over the Yangzhou City that it had worked hard to manage without bloodshed? Seeing that its actions had been noticed by the Chinese Revolutionary Army, he immediately ordered the infantry to withdraw.
At the same time, artillery soldiers were ordered to open fire and bombard the city walls, so the night attack turned into a strong attack, and the sound of guns and cannons suddenly sounded.
The soldier of the Chinese Revolutionary Army stabbed the Qing soldiers who had climbed up to the city wall and immediately raised his gun and opened fire under the city wall. As his gunshots rang out, other Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers also stood up one after another
, opened fire violently at the enemy troops under the city wall and on the other side of the moat, and threw some grenades across the moat, blew the enemy troops on the other side of the river to the east and west. A grenade exploded beside Liu Fengqing, who was supervising the battle, and killed him on the spot.
He died in the revolutionary army camp, but he died at the city of Yangzhou.
This time, the Chinese Revolutionary Army went north and brought a total of 20,000 fast guns and 1,000 new pistols, of which 20,000 fast guns were used by infantry and 1,000 pistols were equipped for cavalry troops.
The remaining soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army also held weapons such as ordinary muskets and bird systems. At this time, almost everyone in the Chinese Revolutionary Army defended the city had muskets and fire systems, showing their powerful firepower to the city.
When a person takes off his gun and turns back and loads the bullet, someone else will immediately stand in his position and continue to fire.
Under this continuous and fierce firepower, Dahari's troops were in chaos, and the lined up immediately became messy. Some of them, who had passed by the battle formation, saw that the momentum was wrong, turned around and ran away, and the remaining new soldiers were
He followed them back, so Dahari's retreat order was implemented without waiting for the messenger to be passed down.
However, the Qing soldiers of Dahali were soon stopped by the supervision team and stopped, especially the Green Camp Army. The Qing army imposed stricter punishment on the escape of these Han soldiers. One person escaped and massacred a battalion, which led to them
Everyone is on guard against each other. Of course, if they escape or surrender, the entire battalion will escape or surrender.
Under the obstruction of the supervision team and avoiding the city wall for a certain distance, the soldiers of the Qing army turned around and watched. At this time, the artillery of the Qing army was already firing. With the deafening "boom",
Solid bullets made of cast iron kept flying towards the city.
The solid bomb does not pose much threat to the personnel, but it is extremely destructive to the city wall. Because Dahari put the cannon on a high slope closest to the city that he had discovered outside the city, the high slope was only one mile away from the city wall.
, So these cannons were extremely accurate. For every ten shells fired, five would hit the city wall, and smash the bricks outside the city wall to pieces, revealing the rammed earth inside, and other shells that did not hit the city wall would fly.
After passing the city, landing in the city, destroying the residents' houses.
Seeing Dahari's artillery fire exposed the artillery position, Zhang Huahan was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the artillery soldiers of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to fire and fight back. He must destroy Dahari's red cannon in the shortest time. As long as the Qing army lost artillery, Dahari
Even if you have three heads and six arms, you will never be able to break through Yangzhou City easily occupied by the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
At this time, the shells used by the Chinese Revolutionary Army were all newly made blasting bombs at the Jiangnan headquarters. The fuses of the shells were still old-fashioned ignition fuzes, but their lethality power was far greater than that of the solid bombs, which was enough to suppress the artillery firepower of the Qing army. Although it was hasty, it was not easy to control the artillery firepower of the Qing army.
The number of artillery shells was small, with only more than 500, but the artillery soldiers did not hesitate to hit them out in order to suppress them before the Qing Dynasty's enemy adjusted their artillery positions. One bullet after another was carried on the bullet body.
The blasting bomb on the tail flew out of the cannon chamber and flew to the Qing army artillery position with the hissing and burning fuse on the warhead. Most of them fell to the ground before they exploded, while a few exploded at a height of several feet above the ground, becoming an air explosion.
bomb.
After the first round of artillery fire of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, there was a sea of fire on the artillery positions of the Qing Dynasty. Some baskets containing gunpowder were ignited. Although they did not explode, they burned violently. This made the artillery of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
With more obvious targets, their positioning is more accurate.
With the order of the artillery commander of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the second round of volleys began, and thirty-five cannons made a roar that shook the sky and the earth. After a moment of silence, a flash of light appeared on the opponent's artillery position, and then a thunderous roar was rumbling.
The sound came. In this round of volleys, a shell accurately hit a pile of gunpowder baskets on the high slope. The pile of gunpowder baskets quickly started to burn, and in a short while, it turned into a big fire, the next one
Several gunpowder barrels could no longer protect the gunpowder inside. With a loud bang, the fire quickly turned into a big fireball. Then, a series of mines buried in the soil exploded, and the entire platform was blown up and the smoke was rolling.
The earth and rocks rose up, and more than a thousand Qing soldiers guarding there, the Qing army artillery and their cannons flew into the air together. The wheels of the cannons, the body and parts of the cannons, and the broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere.
Seeing this scene, both sides who were fighting calmed down. They stared at the human body fragments flying in the air and the cannon barrels. No one cheered or celebrated. They were all for this tragic scene.
Shocked.
When the explosion occurred, Dahari was riding on a war horse to command the Qing army infantry to re-arrange. A heat wave came, almost overturning him to the ground. He leaned down and opened his mouth wide to look at the fire that soared into the sky. He was simply
I couldn't believe my eyes, and in a blink of an eye, more than a thousand people disappeared, and there was also the only artillery soldier he had.
Seeing that the opportunity was not missed, Zhang Huahan immediately sent an order and personally led the guard regiment under Chen Zilong's troops to attack together with the second brigade, the third brigade and the fourth brigade's troops, leaving the first brigade's troops to defend the city and send several troops at the same time.
The famous cavalry left the city from the north gate and issued an order to attack Chen Mingtian's troops who were lying in ambush.
The suspension bridge at the west gate was quickly laid down. Guided by Zhang Huahan and a thousand elite guards, more than 20,000 Chinese Revolutionary Army soldiers quickly rushed out of Yangzhou City and formed combat formations by the moat.
The troops and artillery left behind on their heads continued to fire to cover the formation of the Chinese Revolutionary Army under the city.
Zhang Huahan was galloping fast, Xiaoyue rode his horse closely behind him, and a thousand cavalry soldiers were guarding them with new pistols. The Chinese Revolutionary Army troops quickly arranged the array, and when the formation was arranged,
Zhang Huahan, who was riding on the horse, immediately ordered the entire army to attack. The sound of the sonorous drum beats sounded, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army troops lined up in neat formations and rushed towards the Qing army troops a mile away with the drum beats.
When he saw the Chinese Revolutionary Army leaving the city to fight, Dahari, who had no thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, was reluctant to let them be cannon fodder for charge. He ordered his deputy general to lead 50,000 Qing Green Camp soldiers to fight, but he still
Before his troops rushed to the moat, half of them dispersed under the fierce firepower of cannons on the top of the city, and the other half was beaten by continuous guns and abandoned their armor as soon as they fought with the Chinese Revolutionary Army.
Back. The Chinese Revolutionary Army now doesn't look hungry at all. Perhaps the explosion shock wave made Dahari's head clear, and he realized that all this could be a scam from beginning to end.
Even burying gunpowder on the high ground was the other party's conspiracy. He saw from afar that the leader of the other party was a handsome young man, and immediately understood that the leader of the other party was Zhang Huahan, the deputy commander of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Thinking of this,
Seeing everything, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and was completely confused, but now he still doesn't believe that all this is Zhang Huahan's arrangement. If that happens, this person will understand his thoughts, which is too terrifying.
He comforted himself, all this was accidental. As for the ambushing a large amount of gunpowder in the high ground, it was probably used by the Chinese Revolutionary Army when it was unintentionally laid down to attack Yangzhou City, and as for the fact that it was used to blow up his artillery, it was even more
An unexpected accident.
Seeing the Chinese Revolutionary Army pushing forward and rushing towards him, Dahari no longer cared about siege. Even if he wanted to continue attacking, he could not attack because all the artillery was gone. How could those infantry alone take down Yangzhou?
They could not even stop the attack of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. Seeing the troops of the Chinese Revolutionary Army getting closer and closer, he immediately ordered the baggage to be discarded and the entire army retreated to the east bank of the canal. When he was panicked, he did not find out
Zhang Huahan and the One Thousand Guards on the opposite side have already rode their horses to the distance.
Just when Dahari led his troops to find that he was deceived and crossed the canal and advanced quickly towards Yangzhou City, a fleet of small boats was sailing north on the canal. They were the ones with the Chinese Revolutionary Army hanging the Zhang flag.
Part of the navy unit.
Before receiving Zhang Huahan's letter, Hai Dafu led the First Fleet, with the cooperation of more than 40,000 soldiers led by Li Dingguo, defeated the Qing navy in Tuhai, and the water camp and earthen artillery station in Tuhai.
The three steel ropes were burned by fireboats. Tuhai led the remaining Qing army naval ships to escape to the Yellow River along the canal. The big ships were unable to travel between the canal and the Yellow River.
All discarded.
After the battle, Hai Dafu soon received a letter from Zhang Huahan. He immediately sent the deputy commander of the navy to lead a fleet to support Zhang Huahan. Because the canal was shallow, there were all small boats. Fortunately, there were many naval troops in Hai Dafu.
The boat I got from Nanming was originally from, so I formed a fleet of small boats without much effort. After arriving at the scheduled location, they stopped the boat and waited for the people sent by Zhang Huahan.
When Zhang Huahan led a thousand guards soldiers to arrive here on horseback, the command of the fleet was handed over to Zhang Huahan. Zhang Huahan ordered the fleet to sail north and sent several cavalry to reconnaissance north along the east bank of the canal.
The Qing army set up a floating bridge on the river. So the fleet stopped fifteen miles south of the floating bridge and quietly waited for the opportunity.
When Zhang Huahan heard the sound of gunfire coming from Yangzhou, he knew that the battle had come, so he ordered the fleet to travel north at full speed, to seize the floating bridge, and cut off the retreat of the Qing army.
Another 5,000 Qing soldiers guarding the floating bridge. When they heard the sound of gunfire coming from Yangzhou became increasingly dense, they were all shocked. When the more violent explosion occurred, the entire sky was reflected.
Half of the red side, everyone was stunned and confused.
Just as they were speculating on the cause of the big explosion, they found that the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer to the place. It was obvious that the battlefield was moving towards them, but they did not find a fleet quietly leaning on the cover of the darkness.
come over.
With Zhang Huahan's order, all the ships accelerated, and the front of the ship collided into two sections in half, and then the side of each ship in the fleet emitted flashes and loud noises.
The rainy projectiles flew towards the Qing soldiers who were still shocked. Almost as the Fulang machine cannon on the ship opened fire, the guards soldiers lying on the deck of the ship also used their quick guns in their hands to rush into the darkness.
shooting.
Although it was pitch black all around, only a few bonfires for heating were still burning and they could not aim accurately, the soldiers of the Qing army were soon shocked by the fierce firepower. They were still floating on the floating bridge on the canal.
Without even a glance at the wreckage, they ran away with their heads in their arms. The soldiers guarding the east bank of the canal fled east, while the soldiers guarding the west bank ran west under the leadership of their deputy generals.
Seeing that all the enemy had fled, Zhang Huahan ordered his subordinates to pour tinder and cotton wool on the two pieces of pontoon bridge wreckage, completely burned them, and arranged all the ships in a single shape, guarded the canal, patrolling back and forth,
Prevent the other party from building another new bridge.
