After listening to the introductions of the two, Luo Yue had a little bottom in his heart, and asked about the geographical location and city defense of Qingzhou garrison Manchurian Banner City.

The two intelligence officers had already inquired about this point, and they also drew two drawings, one was a map of the road from Qingzhou to Mancheng, and the other was a detailed drawing of Mancheng.

Qingzhou garrison Manchurian Flag City was built in the tenth year of Yongzheng (1732), about 2.5 kilometers north of Qingzhou City, so the local people commonly call Manchurian City the north city, and Qingzhou City is the south city.

The city is roughly a rectangle, more than 900 meters from north to south, 750 meters from southeast, covers an area of about 7.5 hectares, there are 57 official offices in the city, and 668 rooms are used. 1 palace, 22 rooms, 21 temples and 2 halls. There are 4,899 houses together with the flag soldiers. The city wall is 3.5 meters high, 3.3 meters wide at the bottom, 2.3 meters wide at the top, the battlements are made of bricks, and the moats and horse roads dug by hand are all about 15 meters wide.

Each city wall has a city gate, the east gate is called Haiyan Gate, the south gate is called Ningqi Gate, the west gate is called Tai'an Gate, and the north gate is called Gongchen Gate. All are named by Yongzheng, and written by a famous calligrapher stone carving plaque inlaid on the city gate, there is a stone bridge on each of the moats outside the four city gates, communicate in and out. Each city gate is divided into two gates, inside and outside, and there is a moon city.

However, with the passage of time, the increase in the population of the city was difficult to accommodate, so in the southwest and southeast outside the northern city, part of the population was divided, mainly Manchu dependents and clothing, and some tenant estates and Manchu noble country houses were also established. In addition, in Yishan, about 60 kilometers south of Qingzhou City, there is also a military horse pasture of Qingzhou Garrison Banner City, which grazes more than 1,000 military horses.

Originally, the Eight Banners garrison army set up in the early days of the Qing court was mostly circled out of the old city, forming a pattern of a city within a city, but the Manchu and Han people lived together, which was easy to cause many disputes, of course, it was mainly caused by the Manchu oppression of the Han people, and the garrison Manchu built after the Yongzheng Dynasty was basically a new city built outside the old city, one was to avoid the intensification of the contradictions between the Manchu and Han dynasties; the other was that it was the time when the Qing court's national strength was at its peak, and there were also sufficient financial resources to build a new Manchu city for the Eight Banners garrison to live.

After getting these two drawings, Luo Yue was also completely relieved, so he thanked the two of them and immediately gathered the main generals of the whole regiment to discuss the tactics of quelling the rebellion. In fact, in Luo Yue's heart, he had already thought of a plan for the battle. Now the Eight Banners garrison is looting in Qingzhou City, if you directly send troops to rescue Qingzhou City, the Eight Banners garrison can defend the city, and you don't have artillery, it is not easy to break through the city wall with only a few mortars, and because you don't have many troops, it is impossible to besiege Qingzhou City, so even if you break through Qingzhou City, the Eight Banners garrison still has a great chance to escape from the city and escape back to Beicheng to garrison, and you will have to work hard to attack Beicheng next, which is not only exhausting, but also wastes time, and will cause a lot of damage。

Luo Yue plans to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and first send troops to attack Beicheng, so that the Eight Banners garrison that plundered and robbed in Qingzhou City naturally has to go out of the city to rescue, although Qingzhou City and Beicheng are only 2.5 kilometers away, and there are basically villages and towns along the way, but as long as the Eight Banners garrison is led outside the city, it is easy to do, and you can encircle and annihilate the Eight Banners garrison by choosing a random location outside the city, even if it is a field battle, because through Liu Qinglin's speech, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners garrison is not strong, so even if it cannot be completely annihilated, it will be able to annihilate most of it, so that the rest of the people will not be afraid to flee back to Beicheng。 And in this way, the rebellion in Qingzhou can be quelled in a short time.

After the Eight Banners garrison was annihilated and the Beicheng was occupied, the threat faced by the Land Reform Committee would naturally be lifted, and the work groups would be able to resume their normal work, and the problems encountered in the villages would be solved.

After hearing this, the others also agreed with Luo Yue's battle plan, and everyone studied it against the map, supplemented Luo Yue's plan, and finally decided that the first battalion would enter the city and make a feint to attack the city, and at the same time block the head of the Eight Banners garrison back to the north city; the second battalion would set up an ambush on both sides of the road outside the city to attack the Eight Banners garrison; and the third battalion would be responsible for cutting off the return route of the Eight Banners garrison and striking three combined strikes in an effort to completely annihilate or severely damage the Eight Banners garrison. The guard company of the Luo Yue regimental headquarters, as well as the cavalry company, are the general reserve.

And when Liu Qinglin heard this, he also hoped to bring a company of troops to the battle. Luo Yue thought about it for a while and agreed. Because it is only necessary to guard Qiangouzhuang, it is enough to have two companies of troops, and he also has a cavalry company, which can rush back to rescue him within an hour, and Liu Qinglin has been in Qingzhou for a long time, and he knows the geography of this area very well, and with their troops with him, it will also be useful when he is in Guanjian, so Luo Yue incorporated them all into the reserve.

Early the next morning, Luo Yue immediately led a battalion and launched an attack on the northern city of Qingzhou.

In fact, at this time, many large and small villages had been built around Beicheng, and when they saw the People's Army coming over, the Manchu residents were immediately panicked, because Wen Rui and Wu Leyi took almost all the troops and young men in Beicheng out, so the current Beicheng is almost an empty city, and there is no resistance at all. However, at this time, everyone in Beicheng knew that the Eight Banners garrison was looting in Qingzhou City, and yesterday Wen Rui and Wu Leqi brought back several truckloads of looted things. So Wu Yannian, the co-leader who stayed in Beicheng, recruited people to defend the city, and on the other hand, hurriedly sent people to Qingzhou on fast horses to deliver a letter to Wen Rui, so that Wen Rui could quickly bring troops back to rescue.

Sure enough, after Wen Rui received the emergency report, he couldn't help but be surprised, Luo Yue's troops only arrived in Qiangou Village yesterday, and Wen Rui didn't know about it. I was just shocked that the overseas Chinese were really bold and dared to attack Mancheng, and when Wen Rui led the army, he never thought that Mancheng would be attacked.

Although he knows how powerful overseas Chinese are, dozens of people in Wen Rui's family live in Beicheng, so they can't ignore it. So Wen Rui immediately ordered to gather troops and return to Beicheng.

After robbing in Qingzhou City for two or three days, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were full of bags, their pockets were bulging, and they were also satisfied, and their wives and children were all in Beicheng. Therefore, after hearing Wen Rui's order, they hurriedly packed their bags and prepared to go home.

However, because there were too many gold, silver and jewels snatched, it took time to equip them, and the establishment of the army was in chaos, and they had to be notified one by one, so they were busy until noon, and the troops were not fully assembled, but the soldiers were all big bags and small bags, and their hands were too busy, and the spears were used as flat messengers, and the cavalry was changed to infantry, because the horses were full of things.

Although Wen Rui was anxious, there was no way, but fortunately, there were two more people in Beicheng who asked for help, knowing that the city had not yet been broken, so it was easy to wait for the team to be put in order, and Wen Rui hurriedly ordered to lead the team out of Qingzhou City.

Although the garrisons of the Eight Banners were like arrows, they had no choice but to carry too many things, and they couldn't go as fast as they wanted, and the whole army formed a long dragon that stretched for hundreds of meters. Originally, Wen Rui planned to let the horsemen rush back first, but seeing that all the cavalry had been changed to infantry, he had to give up. However, in one morning, the northern city was not lost, which also made Wen Rui feel a little relieved, it seems that the ability of this overseas Chinese to attack the city is not very good, so it will only take more than an hour to march slowly.

The whole army has not yet walked a few hundred meters away from the city, standing on the tower of Qingzhou, you can see the tail of the team from a distance, and at this moment, only listen to a few sounds of "woo woo" breaking the sky, and then in the middle of the ranks of the Eight Banners garrison, "boom boom boom", more than ten explosions sounded in a row, only to blow up the Eight Banners garrison on their backs, screaming repeatedly, and the whole team suddenly became chaotic. And Wen Rui was riding on the war horse, although he was not blown up, but the horse was shocked by the explosion and screamed violently, scurrying around, fortunately, Wen Rui still had some horse kung fu, so he hurriedly and desperately pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and avoided forcibly controlling the war horse.

At this moment, I only heard dense gunfire on both sides of the avenue, and the bullets were like raindrops, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners garrison suddenly fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining soldiers could only find a place to hide from the bullets. The large and small parcels carried were also still on the ground, some of the packages were scattered, and the silver, copper, coins, cloth, and brocade utensils were scattered all over the place.

Wen Rui had just restrained the war horse, and two bullets had already grazed his body, Wen Rui was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly rolled down from the horse, looking for a stone on the side of the road to dodge. In less than 10 minutes, the Eight Banners garrison was beaten so that it could not raise its head. And Wen Rui crouched behind the big stone, frightened in his heart, this gunfire was intensive, far better than the attack on Qiangou Zhuang that day, not afraid of tens of thousands of guns, it is difficult for overseas Chinese to send an army.

It didn't take long to hear the sound of killing, and on the left and right of the avenue, as well as in the front and back of the team, countless soldiers wearing gray-green military uniforms and holding bright bayonets in their hands were killed. The sound was like a thunderbolt, the momentum was like a tide, the blade was like lightning, and the power was like thunder, and the preemptive voice of the Eight Banners garrison was taken away, and the momentum had declined, and at this time it was the opponent of the People's Army, so the two sides fought, and they were only killed to the ground. The remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners dared to fight again, so they had to raise their hands and surrender. Some scattered and fled, but the cavalry of the People's Army attacked and pursued and exterminated the fleeing Eight Banners.

The whole battle lasted less than 1 hour, and it was all over, and the People's Army won a complete victory, just captured more than 2,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and even Wen Rui was caught, and the items carried by the Eight Banners soldiers also became the trophies of the People's Army.
