1596 Jin Zuo led the city
The Qiqihar Mutiny was a miracle, as 1,500 men took control of the city from 30,000 defenders in half a day, which was a big surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the incident, Western military experts conducted many deductions, but they could not figure out how Hunchun succeeded, and the whole mutiny did not conform to the theory in any military textbook.
Western military experts are too mathematical, and only the commanders in the East who thoroughly dissect human nature can understand the essence of the success of this mutiny.
Fight the unprepared with preparation, fight the unintentional with intention, fight sluggishness with haste and fight cowardice with brutality...... Even one side played the banner of defending the land for His Majesty on the side of the Qing monarch, while the other side poured the dung of a traitor.
With such an unequal gap, how can we not be defeated?
After the four doors were closed, the battle was easy to fight. Fifteen hundred private soldiers guarding a small city of seventy or eighty thousand people sounded incredible, but they did it.
Each of the four gates was divided into 200 troops, and the general's palace was stationed at 200, and the city collected war horses to form a mobile force of 500 people to gallop back and forth to help and suppress the dissidents in the city.
Wang Ba Lizi, Black Dog, Er Donkey and others began to search for defeated soldiers all over the streets, forcing them to 'revolt' before the battle to defect to the Hunchun side, these newly surrendered soldiers, no matter what you do, meet and give a reward of three silver dollars first.
Seeing that there was no need to die if they had money, these troops suppressed dissidents, and worked harder than private soldiers, and when it was half past four in the afternoon, the number of troops available to Vice General Lin actually reached 2,500 people.
As for defending the city, there is no need to worry too much, the city wall does not need to be defended at all, just rush the quality of those defenders outside the city, they can climb as much as they like, dare to attack the four gates from the city wall, then wait for the slaughter of Mauser's position.
In addition, countless surrendered soldiers desperately shouted down from the city wall: "Brothers, the commanders outside, the city is under siege...... Your family members have been controlled by Lord Hunchun!Be careful of the lives of your mother, wife and children......"
"Don't worry...... They're doing well...... There is food and drink, and there are charcoal basins for heating...... As long as you don't storm the city, they'll be safe......"
The incessant shouting made the tens of thousands of troops outside the city suddenly frightened, the soldiers didn't care who they were eating food with, and it was better not to attack the city and there would be fewer dead.
The most frightened are those officers, large and small, whose families are all in the city, and there are not many who escape by surprise.
"Brothers, go back to the camp quickly, and wait for the news of the aftermath! Guo Xing'a has been caught, and they are all flesh tickets! Why are you still working hard to bleed? Isn't it ...... to lack heart?"
The shouts again and again constantly shook the will of the defenders outside the city, and Qiqihar City quickly ceased fire.
The situation is going very smoothly, but Vice General Lin's heart has been tormented by the charcoals, the sky has been darkened, and the three pigeon breeders have not been found, so what is the use of the whole mutiny being successful? The news cannot be sent, and the success of the mutiny is meaningless!
At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed in: "My lord, Nancheng is in an emergency! There is a golden banner rolling in with thousands of cavalry! Jin Zuo has come back from the killing......"
"Well, it's so fast...... "The most threatening thing to Lao Lin now is the cavalry troops under Jin Zuoling, and there are as many as five or six thousand elite cavalry outside Qiqihar City, all of which are under Jin Zuoling's command.
Once the city is broken, the cavalry rushes in, even if the Mauser is sharp, he can't stand the trampling of thousands of horses, which is the biggest threat.
"Take me to Nancheng, and I'll go and meet this Jin Zuo Ling in person...... By the way, call Wang Ba Calf, that kid still has a grudge against the surname Jin, let him come up with an idea!"
Riding on the war horse that had just been snatched, Vice General Lin quickly drove to Nancheng with five hundred special teams, and there were countless fires along the way, and many ordinary people were brave enough to fight the fire, and everyone's faces were frightened.
The people who lost their homes sat on the ground and cried loudly, and the bare-bottomed children were frightened and infected with typhoid fever, and they were coughing desperately in their mother's arms.
Lao Lin couldn't help but feel sad from his heart: "The rise and fall are the suffering of the people! Fortunately, I am the one who presided over the mutiny, if I change a few cruel and murderous people, the people of this city will suffer!"
After a while, the south gate of Kung Fu appeared in front of them, and everyone rushed up to the road to climb the city gate tower, and then in the afterglow of the setting sun, they saw the cavalry team preparing for battle.
A general on a big black horse, dressed in cotton armor and wearing a long lightning rod on his head, was running back and forth in front of the army with a waist knife in his hand, not knowing what to roar in his mouth.
"He's boosting morale! Jin Zuoling is about to attack the city......"
"Look! He pushed out all the red-clad cannons outside the city...... There are also 2,000 archers! The cart behind is full of dry firewood, and he has to attack ......."
Jin Zuoling was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when he noticed the change in Qiqihar City, when he was hunting deer in Nanshan, and suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier saw the smoke and dust in the north.
At first, I thought it was going to water, but after a while, the smoke and dust became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more fire points.
Halfway through, I happened to meet the second housekeeper of the General's Mansion who had escaped from the city, and when I saw Jin Zuoling, the second housekeeper cried loudly, and told all the cause and effect before and after.
"Lord Guoxing's can't be found, the whole city is full of Hunchun's rebels, they are shouting the slogan of Qingjun's side......, and they will kill people when they see them!
"Whoa, whoa...... What a scoundrel! Dare to rob our Qiqihar City! What do you care about the old lady, the city of the Qing Dynasty is important! We have to defend this city for the imperial court......"
"What kind of bullshit Qingjun side! If you can hide it from others, you can't hide it from me! I have seen all the holy decrees of the imperial court, and it is the will of the Forbidden City to get out of the way, what kind of bullshit does it matter to us! Can you use your Hunchun Qingjun side?"
"Go back to the camp, order the cavalry to prepare to storm the city! 10,000 horses trample and trample them to death......
All the way back to the north, Jin Zuo led the camp straight to the camp, at this time the camp in the south of the city was already in chaos, and the cavalry was more or less elite by those infantry, and the military discipline was stricter.
The infantry had already gone to grab water, and although these cavalrymen wanted to go, they still held back when they remembered the military regulations, and they were not relieved until Jin Zuoling arrived.
"Assemble the whole army! Open the armory, take out all the weapons, and prepare for a counterattack! The enemy is only more than a thousand, and we will drown them with a sea of men! Get out of the camp and attack the south gate......
The army gathered outside the southern city, the grass huts on both sides of the post road were all demolished and flattened to become the positions where the army stopped, and the two red-clothed cannons cast during the Kangxi period came slowly under the traction of eight strong oxen.
Archers lined up in dense formations, mixed with fire-gunned soldiers, waiting for the cannons to sound before they could suppress the city.
It was followed by more than a dozen truckloads of dry firewood, which was used to burn the city gates, and the soldiers were pouring the whole jar of vegetable oil on it, and the dry pine wood chopping wood instantly absorbed a large amount of oil, making a subtle sound.
Jin Zuoling rushed in front of the battle: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Even if the enemy has sharp firearms, but the number is scarce, it is not our opponent at all......"
"Qiqihar is our home! Why give Ningguta a group of crazy people! Attack...... Take back our own home!"
