Chapter 3: Tujia Hakka (3)
The troops were left behind to carry their baggage and move forward lightly, and the training in these days showed results. Even if the young man who led the team was anxious and ran fast at first, but after only running five or six miles, the young man couldn't keep up with the team.
Weese's troops had scouts in front to probe and lead the way. The troops marched without distractions, and although the trotting looked unhappy, the troops maintained a relatively scientific march. Take a break for a few minutes at each other and tidy up your sandals. After more than ten miles, the villagers who had been left at the front of the team had been pulled behind, trying their best to keep up with the team.
When they arrived at Lijia Village, the scouts had already sent back information. There were more than 200 Qing troops, and a group of Qing troops was blocking the fleeing villagers in the valley, but the villagers used the terrain to block them out of the valley. Another team of more than 50 people was wreaking havoc in the village.
The general staff immediately came up with a battle plan around the map, first using the fire team to block the retreat of the Qing army attacking the valley, and the main force first to solve the Qing army in the village.
Hu Chenghe is also a member of the General Staff, he is a little puzzled, with the current strength of the troops, there is no pressure to divide the troops into two ways and destroy the Qing army attacking the valley at the same time.
Wei Ze explained: "Concentrate your forces, fight more and fight less, and fight a war of annihilation!" As the saying goes, it's better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. You do the math, we're here for two hundred. Fifty people were sent out to contain the 15o Qing army, and the remaining 15o people fought fifty people, which was three to one. After killing fifty Qing troops, 2oo people fought 15o people, and our numbers still had a big advantage. We have to fight one by one, even if the Qing army is worse, seeing that the number of people on both sides is about the same, they will not be afraid of us. When there is a fight, there must be a small number of people and a fear of many people. ”
"Then at the beginning, 5o brothers beat 15o demons, won't they be afraid of us?" As soon as Hu Chenghe finished speaking, he also knew that he was wrong. Since they are ready to annihilate the Qing army in two parts, the 15o Qing army is not afraid of the 5o brothers of the Taiping army, so that they will not flee. When the Qing army saw that its own forces were at a disadvantage, it would be too late to run.
After the planning was completed, the troops immediately divided into two teams. The group attacking the valley took a detour to the direction of the valley under the leadership of local youths, and Wei Ze led 15o brothers straight to the Qing army in the village.
The Qing army did not know that the destruction was imminent, and they were still wreaking havoc on the village. The chickens in the village have been killed, a few have been hung on the fire to roast, and there are a few big mud bags in the fire. There is also the killing of pigs by the Qing army, and the neighing of the pigs after they are pressed down. The Qing army laughed loudly while discussing how to eat pork after killing the pigs.
Because I didn't expect the villagers to really be able to call back to help the soldiers, the Qing army didn't even prepare muskets, and some of the Qing soldiers who didn't cook went in and out of the villages, and they had to get some household goods out after each time they went in and out. The Qing army felt that it was valuable, and naturally put it away, and they felt that it was useless, so they threw it on the ground and continued to search for other homes. If there was something that the Qing army felt was more valuable, the Qing army couldn't help but shout with joy.
Just when the Qing army was looting, the sound of the horn suddenly sounded, and after the Taiping army who avoided the road of the village came out of the woods at the edge of the village, these Qing soldiers never expected to suddenly encounter the Taiping army, and they were all dumbfounded.
From the panicked cries of the Qing army, Wei Ze determined that the Qing army that attacked Lijia Village was the Qing army under Liu Changqing, who was not completely annihilated by Wei Ze. This group of Qing troops is Chao Yong and brave. One mouth, then the Cantonese will come out.
It was useless for them to shout, the spear team led by Wei Changrong drove them from the south of the village to the north of the village like a chicken, and as soon as they ran to the north of the village, a team of Taiping soldiers and horses rushed out of the bamboo forest, and put a row of guns at the Qing army at a distance of about 2o steps. The musketeers followed the pikemen behind them, rushed up and stabbed the Qing army, and a moment later, except for more than a dozen Qing soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they were all killed.
First tied up the Qing army and left two soldiers to guard it. The rest of the troops went straight to the direction of the valley, and the direction of the valley was also a killing sound at this time. When Weize arrived, it was clear that the villagers had already built a hiding place near the valley. That place occupied a high slope, and when the Qing army attacked from the back, the village name threw stones down from the high slope, and relied on a very primitive method to block the Qing army's attack. There was no other way out behind the high slope, and the villagers were holding on to it.
This valley is a valley of broken heads, fifty brothers of the Taiping army copied up from the back, and blocked the retreat of the Qing army with muskets. After Wei Ze and his brothers converged, several rows of muskets completely disrupted the ranks of the Qing army, and the spears carried out white-knuckle warfare destroyed the Qing army in the valley.
rescued the people of Lijia Village, and the village chief looked at the corpses all over the ground, and his lips began to tremble. Although there are many battles between the Turks, they are civil fights after all, and the goals are to grab water, land, tenants, and rent. Although there are often armed fights on the scale of 10,000 people, they are only to hurt people and not to kill people, and the large-scale battles of more than 10,000 people are defeated, and the dead people are instead controlled by more than a dozen people.
The people owe blood debts, that is, the hatred of the family nature, which basically belongs to the type of immortality. Even if a large number of "Tujia Hakka standing army" or "mercenaries" from other places are invited, everyone is also measured. If there is a killing spree with foreign help, the opposing party will only credit the blood debt to the host who invited the person to come. If you don't really have a deep hatred, everyone still tries not to kill people.
The mentality of folk brawls is completely different from the mentality of Wei Ze's warriors, if you don't kill the enemy on the battlefield, you can only wait to be killed by the enemy, Wei Ze They are rushing to kill. After more than a month of training in Yong'an City, what Wei Ze wanted to build was a killing machine. Moreover, the Qing army bullied the people, which was a good trick, and setting fire from a distance may not be overwhelmed. But as soon as you fight hand-to-hand, your true form is immediately revealed. The soldiers didn't say anything, they went back and forth like this for two days, and they were not in a good mood. In the face of such a group of Qing troops who were fleshy in close combat, they naturally did not have the slightest politeness. Not to mention, Weeser gave the order before the battle and left no one alive. In the last step of the battle, the Taiping army didn't care whether the Qing army on the ground was dead or alive, and poked the key points one by one with their spears. The Qing army, who originally wanted to pretend to be dead and escape, also became a real death.
"This ......, this lord!" The title of the village chief also changed, and his tone contained awe, fear, and some annoyance, "This lord, you have killed all the Qing troops, how can we do this?" ”
Hu Chenghe sneered after hearing this, "You sent someone to us for help, and we came back from dozens of miles to save you, could it be that we made a mistake to save you?" ”
Hearing this obvious attitude, the village chief didn't know what to say. Before the Qing army entered the village, the people in the village showed the Qing army. Naturally, everyone fled to the refuge place that had been prepared a long time ago, and the village chief just sent people to Wei Ze and them for help with the mentality of trying it out, after all, Wei Ze was shouting in his mouth that he wanted to rebel and fight Wuzhou. In the imagination of the village chief, Wei Ze and they should have some ability, if more than 300 people ran back, even if they couldn't beat the Qing army, they could scare the Qing army. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the Qing army couldn't get oil and water, so they were afraid that they would take the looted things and leave.
Moreover, the village chief even thought that since the village had been robbed by the Qing army, even if Wei Ze and them came back, the village chief could pay less or even not pay the thank you gift on the grounds of being robbed. After all, Wei Ze's team left too much impression on the village chief yesterday, and after eating and giving money, and using the straw on the door panel, the straw was bundled up, and the door panel was put back in place. The troops did not commit any offence against the villagers. Such a group of polite descendants inevitably give people the impression of being weak. The village chief never expected that this group of his strict "weak offspring" would become murderers on the battlefield.
Now it is the turn of the village chief to be embarrassed, and now that more than 200 officers and soldiers have died, Lijia Village will not be able to get out of it no matter what. As far as Wei Ze's ability to kill officials and soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables, the village chief did not dare to trouble Wei Ze at all, so Lijia Village was likely to face severe retaliation from the government.
Thinking of this, the village chief felt that his head was a few laps bigger.
"Uncle Li, this is already the case, I think you might as well join our Taiping Army." Wei Ze looked at the appearance of the village chief, and he said to the village chief Li with a pleasant face.
