Chapter 101: The End of Basihan
Seeing this, Ba Sihan on the opposite side immediately let the army rush to kill, and at this time, he didn't care about the distinction between Manchu and Han. Basihan's guards also followed the Han army to kill him. One side wanted to rush out of the city, and on the other hand, they desperately wanted to leave these people, and no one would take half a step back.
In fact, although there are many people on both sides, there are only about 100 people who are really fighting, and the streets are so wide that they can't be opened up if there are more. Seeing this, Ba Sihan said: "The children of the Eight Banners went up to the house to shoot arrows, and the others rushed below. Immediately, many Eight Banner soldiers began to climb to the roofs on both sides.
Here, Yang Jiafu also said when he saw it: "Go, the people who can shoot arrows and blow arrows go up and kill those tartars." "Some Miao people from the Restoration Army here also went to the house one after another. For a time, there were people fighting on the ground and on the rooftops.
The Qing army in the city kept running this way, and soon the number of Qing troops reached 2,000. The Restoration Army led by Yang Jiafu gradually began to show signs of defeat. Yang Jiafu was also very anxious when he saw this, and pulled a soldier over and said, "Go to the city and call for support, just say that there are big officials here who want to run." ”
The soldier did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and ran down another street towards the city. Looking at the path that the soldier was taking, Yang Jiafu yelled at the soldiers of the Fuming Army who were still guarding the city gate: "Quick, go around from that side and attack the back of the Qing army." The Fuming army guarding the city gate also saw that Yang Jiafu's situation was not good, and immediately took 300 people to bypass, but a group of Qing troops also ran on that street at this time, and immediately blocked the 300 people who wanted to bypass.
Seeing this, the other 200 people who were defending the city had no choice but to come forward to help. The Qing army at the gate of the city was suddenly unattended. Seeing this, these people did not dare to come forward to attack the Ming army, and fled directly out of the city, and the people of the Ming Army saw that they had no time to care about them now.
Yang Jiafu is now constantly retreating his own defense line, seeing more and more Qing troops gathered over. I don't know if the soldiers just now found other Restoration Army or happened to come here, at this time, a group of Restoration Army came behind the Qing Army, about 300 people. Seeing that a large number of Qing troops had gathered, they immediately made a noise and roared to attack the back of the Qing army.
Originally, Ba Sihan scattered the Ming army of Yang Jiafu in front, and then went out of the city to rectify the army and then fought back, but now the Ming army in front of him is very elite and can't break through their defense line. Later, he found that the Qing army on his side was gathering more and more, and he wanted people to outflank him at that time, but the Ming army thought of this first.
The Ming army still couldn't come, and was blocked by another group of Qing troops, and now they were trying to gather troops in the back, but another group of Ming troops came behind, and Ba Sihan had not retreated to the back. There was no one to command the Qing army behind in the panic, and they were rushed by the Fuming army behind them, and they actually squeezed directly into the Qing army in front of them.
This time, the Qing army in front of him could not maintain the formation, and Yang Jiafu seized the opportunity to rush into the Qing army formation, and the Qing army's lined up military formation was immediately rushed away by Yang Jiafu and others. When the other Qing soldiers saw that their own military formations were rushed away, many Qing soldiers immediately shouted, "Defeated, defeated, retreat quickly." ”
The Qing army behind was also shouting: "Go forward, the Ming army behind is coming, and you can't stop it." Seeing that the Qing army was in a panic, Yang Jiafu took the opportunity to shout: "Quickly lay down your arms, surrender and don't kill, and those who resist will not be killed." Then he said to the Fuming army behind him: "The Qing army has been defeated, rush forward." ”
The soldiers of the Restoration Army around Yang Jiafu also shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill, lay down your arms, otherwise you won't be killed." "Now the Qing army is a mixture of dragons and snakes, there are Manchurian Eight Banners, these people will definitely not surrender, and there are also Han Eight Banners, these people will not surrender either. But there were still a large number of Huguang Qing troops and local soldiers in Guizhou, these people did not kill when they heard about the surrender, and now they didn't care that the Manchurian uncle and the banner soldiers of the Han Eight Banners were around, and they immediately threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Surrender, we surrender." ”
For a time, the Manchurians and banner soldiers in the Qing army who were unwilling to surrender stood like chickens and weeds in the rice fields. One by one, you can see them one by one. Seeing this, Yang Jiafu immediately asked the officers and men of the Restoration Army to focus on taking care of those Manchurians and banner soldiers who refused to surrender.
When these Manchurians and banner soldiers saw this, they immediately itched with hatred, and slashed at the surrounding Qing soldiers with their knives, and dozens of people were killed in a blink of an eye. These Qing soldiers who were squatting on the ground, seeing that they had helped these Manchurians to attack the Ming army just now, were now killed by the Manchurians and banner soldiers. The timid ones scattered and fled in an instant, and the bold ones picked up the knife directly, and fought with the Manchurian soldiers with red flags, and roared angrily: "I'll fuck your grandma, Lao Tzu just helped you, and now you want to kill us, you brutes." ”
The Restoration Army has not yet attacked here, and the Qing soldiers themselves have been fighting non-stop. When the Qing troops who surrendered ran to both sides, the banner soldiers of the Manchurians with red flags and the Han Eight Banners who refused to surrender in the middle were about 500 people, and they were surrounded by the Restoration of Sight Legion. The surrendered Qing troops have now been moved from both sides to the rear to be guarded.
Seeing this, the Qing army on the roof wanted to come down to help, but they were dragged by the Miao people who also went to the roof, and they couldn't do it. Yang Jiafu saw that these Manchurians did not surrender, and immediately directly let the soldiers of the Restoration Army attack. Now there are no Green Battalion soldiers and Guizhou Surrender Army, and there is no cannon fodder for the Red Flag and Han Army Banner Soldiers, and they themselves are suddenly falling under the attack of the Restoration Army.
It didn't take long for only a hundred or so remaining, and the rest were all cut down to the ground, either dead or falling to the ground wailing and wailing, never to get up again.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers in front of him, Ba Sihan gasped and shouted, "Am I going to die in Guiyang City today?" Soldiers, rush out with me. He roared, but instead of rushing in the direction of the west gate, he rushed towards the city.
The Restoration Army in that direction originally had only about 300 people, but after a big battle, now there are only about 100 people. was rushed by Ba Sihan with the Qing army, and many Qing troops rushed out immediately. Seeing this, the more than 100 Ming Restoration troops had no choice but to desperately block the Qing army.
But at this time, the Qing army was also desperate, and it could be blocked there. When Yang Jiafu and others came to join up, they were still run away by Ba Sihan with more than 40 people. Yang Jiafu turned around and saw that there were only more than 500 people around him, and let people directly shoot down all the red-flaged Manchurians in the premises. Then let 200 people go around to another street to break up the Qing army, leaving 300 people to guard and surrender the troops.
Yang Jiafu said to the Qing soldiers who resisted the red flag just now: "You guys are good, how are you?" Are you willing to follow us to kill the Qing soldiers? "Those people have already killed the Qing soldiers, and now there is no way to retreat, so they immediately expressed their willingness. Yang Jiafu also organized these people into his own team. There are nearly two hundred of these people, so Yang Jiafu now has nearly seven hundred people, and he can finally guard the West Gate.
Yang Jiafu looked at the fleeing Qing army and Ba Sihan, and shook his head, he didn't have the strength to chase and kill him now, and it was estimated that the others in the city could block them. Yang Jiafu put down these thoughts and asked people to tighten their defense, not to let the Qing soldiers escape through the west gate.
It is said that Ba Sihan fled all the way into the city with only more than 40 people left, and as soon as he turned the street, he ran into Li Ruchun who ran over, and Ba Sihan said: "Where did this Ming army come from?" Why did you suddenly enter the city? ”
Li Ruchun smiled bitterly: "Lord Ezhen, I came in from the south gate, it is estimated that there must be tens of thousands of people, I don't know where they came from." Lord Ezhen, let's go out of the city through the west gate. Ba Sihan said: "Where is the West Gate still out, just now we didn't attack more than 1,000 people." ”
Li Ruchun was shocked when he heard this: "What? The west gate is also blocked? So what to do? There are also Ming troops coming in at the east gate, go quickly, go to the north gate. Ba Sihan said: "You are confused, you can't go back to Yunnan when you go out of the north gate." Li Ruchun said: "It doesn't matter now, go out from the north gate, go west to Yunnan, if it doesn't work, we will return to Huguang from Qiandong." ”
When Ba Sihan heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's go." After speaking, they heard the Ming army approaching in the east and south of the city, and the two did not dare to delay, and hurried to the north gate. The two of them led about 1,000 Qing soldiers, and before they arrived at the north gate, they met Yang Dong who had returned from the north gate.
Yang Dong, who had talked back to Zhu Youdong in the barracks before, is now also a thousand households with 2,000 people, he came in from the east gate, killed all the way to the north gate, and then entered the city. I didn't encounter any major resistance along the way, and now I saw the thousands of Qing troops, and I was suddenly very excited. didn't look at it, and shouted directly: "Brothers, there are thousands of Qing soldiers in front, the time for us to make meritorious service has come, kill me with me." ”
Yang Dong roared and killed Ba Sihan and the others, and the soldiers of the Restoration Army behind him were also like crazy demons, roaring and pounced on Ba Sihan and others, and Li Ruchun had no choice but to kill them with his subordinates when he saw this. Li Ruchun and Ba Sihan didn't notice that the soldiers under their command, who rushed into the city before and grabbed things everywhere, now went around the entire Guiyang City a few times, and they were still fighting, and the soldiers were tired.
As a result, as soon as Ba Sihan and Li Ruchun went up with their soldiers to engage the Restoration Army, they were immediately defeated and retreated by the Restoration Army, allowing Ba Sihan and Li Ruchun to shout loudly and promise all kinds of benefits, and the situation of the Qing Army did not improve in the slightest. On the contrary, they were defeated faster.
Li Ruchun's men were originally the Huguang Qing army, but now they are being pressed and beaten by the Restoration Army, and the Qing army is scattered, many of the Huguang Qing Army can't see hope, and they have no strength to fight, as if they can't exert their strength. At this time, the Ming army came from behind, and when they saw this, they shouted that they would surrender and not kill, and launched an attack from behind the Qing army.
Hearing the Fuming army on the opposite side shouting to surrender and not kill, Yang Dong remembered and shouted: "Quick, surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill." The people around Yang Dong also shouted, and when Li Ruchun's Huguang Qing army heard that it was okay to surrender, many people immediately shouted this surrender, and then leaned to both sides.
For a while, there were only Ba Sihan and others in the middle, and Li Ruchun's 200 descendants, and the Restoration Army took the opportunity to surround these people. Yang Dong saw that these people heard that they surrendered and did not kill, and they actually had to gather together to resist, so he immediately asked his subordinates to kill them directly.
The Qing army in the city was too scattered to form a fighting force, and was soon either killed and dispersed by the Restoration Army or forced to surrender. And because Ba Sihan gathered more than 1,000 people in the West Gate before, and later came to Benbeimen, and now there are nearly 300 people gathered around him, so almost the entire Guiyang is the last place where there is still large-scale resistance.
As the Qing army in the city became fewer and fewer, there were more and more Restoration troops gathered here, and seeing that they could not escape, Ba Sihan also gave up the idea of escaping, and just tried his best to kill the enemy.
At this time, Zhu Youdong also came to the room with people, and saw that many soldiers of the Restoration Army were killed by Ba Sihan and others, and Yang Dong was still making people rush up. Immediately said angrily: "Yang Dong, you bastard, retreat people and shoot them directly with bows and arrows." How precious are the soldiers of the Restoration Army, let them exchange for those lowly enough tartars, you don't lose it. ”
When Yang Dong heard that it was Zhu Youdong's voice, he immediately stopped the Restoration Army that was still rushing upward, and then asked the soldiers to shoot Ba Sihan and the others with bows and arrows. When Ba Sihan heard Zhu Youdong say that they were lowly Tartars, he immediately said angrily: "You Han people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and the Han people are not qualified to be slaves to us Manchurians." I'm going to screw your head off, and then I'm going to cut you in front of your whole family, and kill your whole family. ”
Ba Sihan originally wanted to scold Zhu Youdong, but he said that the Han people were not qualified to be a slave for him, and immediately angered some of Li Ruchun's subordinates in the back, and now they are all fucking dead, we are with you in the mountains and fires, and now you are not as good as pigs and dogs.
Behind Ba Sihan, a Huguang Qing army directly drew a knife and slashed it on Ba Sihan's shoulder, and shouted in his mouth: "You are a Tartar on a dog day, what are you rampant, now everyone is going to die, you still scold Lao Tzu." The other people with red flags drew their swords to kill this Qing soldier, but the arrows of the Restoration Army kept shooting, and they couldn't pull out for a while. Only kept scolding in his mouth, and only the other Huguang Qing soldiers stopped doing it.
Someone yelled directly at Li Ruchun: "General, what's the use of us helping these Tartars fight, you see that they still look down on us at this time, I won't fight." After speaking, he threw the knife in his hand and walked directly to the Ming Army. When the soldiers of the Restoration Army saw him, they didn't care about him, and let him walk out directly, and the soldiers of the Restoration Army behind him took him into custody.
With the lead, others followed suit, whether they were really dissatisfied or pretending to be dissatisfied, and immediately hundreds of people ran to the side of the Restoration Army to surrender. When Li Ruchun saw these subordinates who had surrendered, he didn't know what to say for a while.
