Chapter 909: From the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The Celestial Army of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, under the leadership of Li Xiucheng and now Li Xiucheng, joined together and then continued to march eastward.
His main comrade-in-arms is the real Li Xiucheng in history.
The two worked together, first fought against the international column organized by Zuo Zongtang and Zhang Zhidong, and after defeating them, the two had a new division of labor.
Historically, Li Xiucheng was responsible for dealing with the troublemakers of those international columns, while Li Xiucheng, who had crossed the river, specially organized a trip down the river, and the first step was to eat the Manchu troops living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
In order to accomplish this task, Li Xiucheng, who crossed the country, set the first target on the Brahmaputra River.
It turned out to be in the campaign to occupy India. On two occasions, the Celestial Army sent fleets up the river to take the upper reaches of the river.
The Brahmaputra River is in India and its name is the Brahmaputra River. It is a major tributary of the Ganges.
According to the assumptions of Mai Ke and others, along the Brahmaputra River. Even if there was a Manchu army to defend, it was only a small force, vulnerable to attack.
And the Celestial Army has twice transferred troops, so that this fleet has already had a considerable scale.
There were 200 ships in this fleet, and the terrible thing about the battle was that they had three orders to fish!
In addition to Jonah's fish, there were also 50,000 Ganges crocodiles who returned to the heavenly army, and they were accomplices to Jonah's fish.
They were given the task of reaching and traveling the Brahmaputra directly, as long as no one stopped them. Just keep going.
If they were blocked by the Manchu government, they did not clash with them, but retreated to the previous stronghold and defended on the spot, and this stronghold was built all the way after they entered the Qinghai-Tibet region.
Therefore, they were responsible for the mixed fleet, and the man was responsible for occupying the Yanhe River valley; By the way, the Ganges crocodiles along the road are recruited, and they are constantly migrating to the deep mountains due to the pollution of the Ganges water.
It's a pity. This plan suffered a big setback.
It was also due to the emergence of the international columns of Zuo Zongtang and Zhang Zhidong, and to bring Chogori and the surrounding area, including mountains and rivers. are closely monitored and controlled.
As a result, this fleet was plotted by the enemy.
Plotting against the Heavenly Army. It is Fu Anjian, the military and political governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the grandson of Fu Ankang, the head of the predecessors.
The place where the Heavenly Army was plotted was in the Grand Canyon of the Brahmaputra River!
Therefore, the first thing the Celestial Army that marched eastward was to rescue these trapped Celestial Army.
Knowing that this matter is very difficult, Li Xiucheng, who crossed over, also had to do it.
Because of this fleet, more than half of it has already been lost.
Li Xiucheng, who had crossed, saw that place and was immediately shocked by its thrilling terrain. This Fu An Jian is also too insidious!
Just enter this Grand Canyon. Then block it at both ends. It won't take long for you to freeze and starve to death. Because there is no other way to go out and go back from the way you came, or to go out from the other end of the way.
The Qing army blocked them, but also from the place where they were ambushed, from time to time they rolled down boulders and shot arrows!
The ships of the Celestial Army capsized, and the personnel suffered heavy casualties. It was caused by these mountains and rockfalls.
The length of this Grand Canyon is five hundred and four kilometers!
The height of the Grand Canyon. The highest valley is 6,000 meters deep, and the average is more than 2,000 meters.
Where the Celestial Fleet was trapped, probably in the deepest canyon, the Qing army was in a cave halfway up the mountainside, pushing large stones out and smashing ships.
The stones are huge. Smashing on a ship, either smashing the boat and sinking it, is a big hole!
Three fish are distributed in the front, middle and back positions, and fight hard against the falling boulders!
Every one of Jonah's fish. There were patches of blood on his head and body, and he was already injured.
I don't know how heavy the injuries were, because they all jumped up more than a foot high there, and called large falling rocks.
Around Jonah's fish were the Ganges crocodiles, which were too small to shake large rocks, so they had to deal with those small rockfalls.
Even so, these crocodiles still suffered heavy casualties, after all, the ship was wrecked and people died, and they had the responsibility to protect it, knowing that they would die if they went up, they must also go there.
The most critical step in the rescue of Li Xiucheng, who had crossed through, was to open the Manchu troops blocked on both sides and let these remaining ships escape.
Of course, he was not content to flee for his life, but in turn, to occupy the Grand Canyon and eliminate these Manchu troops!
Li Xiucheng, who crossed over, dispatched a three-way army!
All the way is to follow the old road taken by the fleet in front, go up the Brahmaputra River, and then attack the enemy's Qing army at the entrance of the Grand Canyon and open this seal!
The second way, from the source of the Brahmaputra River, sent a fleet of ships, disguised as ships, straight to the upper reaches of the Grand Canyon, attacking the Qing troops blocking the exit, so that these trapped ships and the ships that came to support could pass from here and continue to complete the original almost mission.
On the third road, the Air Force unique to the Celestial Army dispatched directly to the peaks on both sides of the Grand Canyon. Attack the Qing army there to relieve their first fleet of threats, at least alleviate.
This last stretch is the most urgent. Because every second that passes, there is a risk of causing greater casualties to the Celestial Army.
Only a small part of this air force is originally from the members of the Raptor Brigade from the Holy Mountain, and the vast majority of them are the Snow Mountain Eagle Family!
These new members of the attached forces of the Celestial Army, although they are not yet able to carry people, their ability to attack should not be underestimated!
These aerial giants are flying over the Grand Canyon!
The Qing army below is going smoothly, unscrupulously abusing the heavenly army below who has no power to fight back, and all the eagle eyes are red!
It's fast enough. Immediately raised some heights, faster than sharp arrows, like cannonballs out of the chamber, and rushed towards the Qing troops who were throwing stones below.
The Qing officers and soldiers who are doing their best, where would they have thought that disaster would fall from the sky!
It was like a sudden gust of wind blowing, and all the Qing soldiers who were standing at the forefront to harm the Heavenly Army were all attacked by these air visitors!
Some people were wounded and fell to the ground, some died instantly, and many more were grabbed by these warhawks and thrown off a cliff!
The Ganges crocodile, Jonah Fish, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, who were desperately resisting the pressure of the boulder below, saw that it was no longer the stone that had fallen. But the people who threw the stones couldn't help but be puzzled.
Huh? What's going on? Is it that the rocks are gone, and then they throw themselves out?
When did these soldiers become so sacrificed and forgot to die?
No matter. I've been abused by you for a long time, it's our turn!
Your stones are mighty, but are your men as hard as stones?
So, Jonah fish, Ganges crocodiles, and all the heavenly armies, everyone fought bravely, and they all competed to be the first, and it was a good abuse to catch these unlucky Qing soldiers, and if they didn't die, they had half a life left.
However, it is up to them to pick up below. It also made these fallen Qing troops get a buffer, and there was no direct brain burst. Instant death.
This was supposed to be their end, the height of the cliff. It is impossible for any ordinary person to survive.
The air forces of the Celestial Army are just a reunion, and they have solved the sword hanging over their heads for the fleet below, and there is no longer a threat of death.
"Li Dalong, you take a rest here, the receiving fleet will arrive soon, and then continue to carry out your original plan!"
Li Xiucheng, who had crossed over, instructed the commander of this fleet, a young officer with a white belt on his head, to answer the command ship in a loud voice.
Apparently it was also wounded, which shows the brutality of the battle.
Li Xiucheng, who crossed the war, commanded the war eagle to catch and kill the Qing army on the mountain, and then left some people to garrison, and he himself led the war eagle to fly to the upstream exit of the Grand Canyon.
Mai Ke listened with relish, and desperately hoped that he would have a chance to smoke the badger against the enemy.
The charcoal burners were also very interested in the smoked badger, and it just so happened that they all knew very well what kind of fuel could smoke the most, so now they all carried a bag of special fuel, that is, the most smoking, the so-called "raw charcoal" in their bags.
This charcoal did not become the cooked charcoal that people needed, and once it was ignited, smoke billowed immediately.
So Mai Ke's order, these iron-hearted soldiers, who wanted to see the excitement, immediately took action, lit the charcoal, and threw them into the main hole where the enemy was when they were emitting billowing smoke.
Suddenly, the area where the Vikings were staying was surrounded by black smoke and spread in all directions, gradually surrounding everyone.
They now enjoy the same treatment as badgers, but unfortunately their ability to deal with this situation is much worse than that of badgers!
When badgers encounter smoke, they will stick their noses into the soil, let the smoke filter through the soil, and then enter the respiratory system, which greatly reduces the damage of thick smoke.
But these people not only stand and inhale the smoke directly, but they also move around and run around to speed up the smoke into the respiratory system!
I only heard a violent coughing sound, and it got more and more intense!
It didn't take long for someone to stop at the peak of their cough!
They must have suffocated and fainted!
Mai Ke heard the movement inside, and sighed in his heart, judging from the speed of this effect, the smoker is much faster than the smoked badger!
Tan Ping was also very happy, it turned out that this hunting and fighting have a lot in common, and this smoked badger tactics were used well, and they also made great achievements! This is the first time to use it
Li Xiucheng, who had crossed the crossing, led the team to the upper exit of the canyon, and caught the Qing guards there by surprise, and immediately lost the will to resist.
They originally wanted to escape, but unfortunately this place is a natural danger for defense, once they fail, it is very difficult to run, plus the two ends of the heavenly army intercepted, the ground and air cooperated, and they were cornered.
As a result, the enemy had no choice but to surrender.
After solving the Grand Canyon, the Heavenly Army then surrounded Fu Anjian, the military and political governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the grandson of the former governor Fu Ankang.
Just when he was close to success, Li Xiucheng, who had crossed over, went to Yingzhou for a meeting, and then had a new appointment.
In this way, the historical Li Xiucheng was transferred again, and was in charge of the things that Li Xiucheng was responsible for the original crossing, and continued to attack eastward from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, realizing the convergence with Xiao Chaogui's army and entering the land of eastern Henan.
