General Zhu Hongzhang, Shaanxi Governor Wei Guangtao, Shaanxi Admiral Zhu Shijun and Shanxi Admiral Zhao Wenkai all looked unhappy. Although Prince Horqin Boyannamohu had the highest status among everyone, he couldn't bury someone like this!
"Your Highness, it's not that we are afraid of the Western Sichuan Army. It's actually that the Western Sichuan Army's guns and artillery are powerful. It's difficult to deal with these green battalions alone! If there is a new army, I will also dare to go out of the city and fight a head-on battle with the Western Sichuan Army!"
Zhu Hongzhang said.
"Yes! Your Highness, Xi'an is very important and cannot be lost. We must ensure that Xi'an is not lost!" Wei Guangtao also explained.
"Hmph! An army of more than 100,000 people is still afraid of the Western Sichuan Army with less than 50,000 people. Are you still considered men? Since you don't dare to go to war, then let me do it. We Mongolian men are not afraid of the guns and cannons of the Western Sichuan Army. I will use my hands to
With his saber and bow and arrow, he personally cut off the head of that young marshal and gave it to the great emperor!" Boyannamohu said proudly. As Mongolian nobles, with the blood of Genghis Khan flowing in their bodies, they were born to fight! Even if
The Manchus have suppressed the Mongols for more than two hundred years. For example, each Mongolian family can only leave one son to inherit the incense, and the others have to become lamas. However, the fighting will in the Mongolian blood has not disappeared.
"Your Highness, the army in western Sichuan is huge. It is too dangerous to go out to fight in the city. I think you should stay in the city!" Wei Guangtao, the governor of Shaanxi Province, quickly persuaded. If there is something wrong with Boyanna Mohu, how can they report it to them?
The court explains!
Although Boyannamohu is not well-known, his father Senggelinqin is a famous war general. Senggelinqin is the 26th generation grandson of Genghis Khan's second brother Habtu Hassar, and later adopted by his distant uncle Horqin
The county prince Suotnamu Duobuji was the heir. In the third year of Xianfeng of Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty (1853), Seng Gelinqin led the troops to defeat the Taiping Rebellion's Northern Expedition in the southern suburbs of Tianjin. In 1855, he was named Prince of Bodole Gatai, and he was hereditary.
.In the same year, he annihilated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Li Kaifang's tribe in Fengguantun, Shandong, and captured Li Kaifang alive. In 1859, during the Second Opium War, he commanded the naval battle of Dagukou, defeating the British and French allied forces, and built forts with Li Chaoyi in Ninghe, Yingcheng, Dagu and other places to resist
Invasion. In 1860, when Dagukou and Tianjin fell, he commanded an army with Mongolian cavalry as the main force and retreated to Tongzhou for defense. His troops fought with the British and French forces at Bali Bridge in Tongzhou. The battle of Bali Bridge was defeated miserably, and the main Mongolian force was lost. The British and French forces were defeated.
The allied forces entered Yanjing and destroyed the Old Summer Palace. He was deprived of his title and still served as the imperial envoy. In May of the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), during the Battle of Gaolou Village, Seng Gelinqin was attacked at Wujiadian near Gaolou Village in Heze County, Caozhou, Shandong.
The Nian Army Lai Wenguang and Song Jingshi's troops surrounded him. Seng Gelinqin then led a small number of cavalry to break out of the encirclement and hid in the woods. He was discovered and captured by the Nien Army Zhang Zongyu's troops in the forest and was killed in a wheat field. Not long after Seng Gelinqin was killed in battle, the news of his death was reported back to Beijing.
The Qing court was shocked and stayed out of court for three days to express its condolences. Emperor Mu Zong of the Qing Dynasty went to Seng Gelinqin's mansion to offer sacrifices in person and built a shrine for Seng Gelinqin. Such an honor could be said to be unique in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Qing court paid tribute to Seng Gelinqin.
The descendants of Seng Gelinqin also attach great importance to and receive preferential treatment.
"No need to persuade. When the Western Sichuan Army arrives, I will lead the army out of the city to fight. You just need to defend Xi'an City!" Boyannamohu said stubbornly. After saying that, he left without looking at the faces of others.
Already.
"General, what do you think we should do about this? If something unexpected happens to His Highness, how can we explain it to the court?" Wei Guangtao said hurriedly.
"His Royal Highness insists on facing the Western Sichuan Army. Our persuasion is useless. What can we do? Don't worry, he will retreat after seeing the power of the Western Sichuan Army. Then he will not accuse us of not daring to go out of the city to fight!
" Zhu Hongzhang said quietly. He and Boyannamohu's father Seng Gelinqin were of the same era. In terms of military exploits, he was not inferior to Seng Gelinqin, but in terms of the glory he received, they were worlds apart.
.Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with Senggelinqin. Now Boyannamohu wants to die on his own, but his persuasion is ineffective. No wonder he is!
"Then, okay! This is the only way!" Wei Guangtao said helplessly. The Western Sichuan Army captured Baoji in one day, how can it be so easy to deal with. I hope Boyannamohu will not have to pay for himself this time when he goes out to fight in the city.
Just go in, otherwise it will not end well.
At noon on June 20, the Western Sichuan Army arrived less than twenty miles away from Xi'an. The entire army began to prepare food. After a two-hour rest, they would then decide whether to launch an attack on Xi'an depending on the situation.
Attack. At the same time, a group of scouts set off in advance. They will go outside Xi'an City to monitor the Qing army's movements. According to the information previously obtained, there are 50,000 Mongolian cavalry in Xi'an City. Although the Mongolian cavalry using cold weapons has little attack power,
High, but very maneuverable. If they take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and the Western Sichuan Army is unprepared, it will really capsize in the gutter.
The arrival of the Western Sichuan Army immediately caused panic among the Xi'an defenders. The originally open city gate was shut tightly with a bang. The Qing troops on the city wall were shouting loudly. Obviously, after the news of the fall of Baoji came,
This gave them a deep fear of the Western Sichuan Army. Although only a few dozen scouts appeared, they were still frightened.
Soon, Zhu Hongzhang, Wei Guangtao, Zhu Shijun, Zhao Wenkai, Boyanna Mohu and others rushed to the city wall. Outside the city, dozens of Western Sichuan troops were less than five miles away from the Xi'an city wall. They had already dismounted and let them go.
The war horses ate grass by themselves to save their physical strength. At the same time, some of the Western Sichuan troops were lying on the ground to rest, while others were pointing towards Xi'an City.
"This should be the vanguard of the Western Sichuan Army, and their main force should be right behind!" Zhu Hongzhang said, looking at the formed Western Sichuan Army.
"Order all troops to be more vigilant and prepare to defend against the Western Sichuan Army's attack!" Wei Guangtao said cautiously.
"Open the city gate, I will lead the army out of the city to fight!" Boyannamohu said.
"Your Highness, please don't be reckless!" Wei Guangtao advised.
"I have my own opinion!" Boyanna Mohu ignored Wei Guangtao's dissuasion and went directly down the city wall and returned to the military camp to organize the army.
Because it was noon, Boyannamohu had to wait until the soldiers had lunch before going out to fight. When the city gate of Xi'an opened, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Platoon leader, the Qing army has left the city!" The scout of the Western Sichuan Army who was responsible for monitoring Xi'an City quickly reported to the reconnaissance platoon leader.
"You guys, go back and report immediately. We will continue to monitor them!" The reconnaissance platoon leader quickly made arrangements. Several scouts quickly mounted their horses and ran towards where the large troops were.
Groups of Mongolian cavalry rushed out of Xi'an City and formed a team outside the city. In more than half an hour, 50,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered in a black sea outside Xi'an City. On the city wall, Zhu Hongzhang and others silently
Watching all this, even though they all thought that Boyannamohu was just hitting an egg with an egg.
"Let's go!" Boyanna Mohu, riding on a tall horse, waved the whip in his hand and ordered loudly. Suddenly, 50,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered in a black river and rolled towards the west.
The scouts of the Western Sichuan Army continued to monitor these Mongolian cavalry.
At the same time, the large troops of the Western Sichuan Army that had just had lunch immediately took a break and began to take action. The troops began to line up in a neat charge formation. In front of them, there were pressing forces from various departments of the Western Sichuan Army.
Artillery and heavy machine guns. Behind it is an artillery position constructed of nearly two hundred Type 82 infantry guns from six brigades. Since the Qing army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, of course they wanted it.
"The Mongolian cavalry, Boyanna Mohu, the son of the Monk King? I want to see who is more powerful, the Mongolian cavalry or our cannons and heavy machine guns!" Wang Yuze said with some excitement. Hundreds of years ago, the Mongolian cavalry swept across Asia.
The European continent established a huge empire. However, as the times progressed, the Mongolian cavalry, which was still relying on cold weapons to fight, would eventually be crushed by the wheels of history!
