Chapter 408: Defeated Miserably
No matter how much Yu Yan didn't believe it, under the charge of the Qing cavalry, the defeat of the Hui army on the battlefield was decided.
Looking at the Hui army that kept fleeing, Yu Yan knew that there was no doubt about continuing it. So, he led the five hundred soldiers who guarded him quietly and retreated.
At the same time, Yu Yan constantly fooled those who were not afraid to return to Allah's arms, dreamed of bathing in a river flowing with milk, and enjoyed the care of seventy-two virgins every day to make sacrifices for the "holy war".
"Kill..."
The Hui army organized the last of its forces to carry out a suicidal attack on the Qing army. However, under the fierce fighting of the well-trained Qing cavalry, these Hui troops soon returned to the arms of Allah.
Yu Yan, the initiator of this, could no longer see it, because he led his guards to quickly retreat back to the place where Ma Yinglong was. Ma Yinglong also has tens of thousands of elite troops on his side, which is enough to reassure him.
Of course, after Yu Yan ran away from the battlefield, he was still very responsible for letting Mingjin collect his troops.
It's just that this is not clear, but it doesn't matter anymore.
With the killing of those fanatics of "holy war" by the Qing army one by one, the Qing army is now in a no-man's land on the battlefield.
Looking at the Qing army on the battlefield wantonly slashing and killing those fleeing Hui troops, Zhang Jia. A long-lost smile appeared on the corner of Gui's mouth.
"Sure enough, this is what the battlefield should normally look like when the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom put down the rebels. The short-haired thieves occupying the southeast are not a normal and understandable situation. "Suddenly remembered his previous war with the bandit army, Zhang Jia. Ah Gui couldn't help but sigh.
Zizhang Jia. Since Ah Gui was ordered to go south to the Jiangnan Bandit Suppression Camp, he did not dare to slack off in every battle with the Bandit Army. But no matter how hard he tried, most of them were failures. Even if it is a victory, it is a pyrrhic victory at great cost.
ZHANG Jia. Ah Gui also looked for the reason, but found that it was not that he had become weaker, but that the enemy had become too strong, and the strength and elite of the bandit army were not at all like what a clay-legged thief could lead.
Not to mention their spears and cannons, their well-trained formations and endless formations are incredible.
What's more, those "short-haired thieves" are even more fearless of death when they start a war, which is more than those fanatics who are "holy wars" on this battlefield, and it is really incomprehensible.
The most hateful green battalion soldiers were like weak chickens when they were on their side, but when they voted for the anti-thieves, they were all like tigers coming out of the mountains.
He had seen with his own eyes a small soldier who was just guarding the city, and when he saw them before, he was as humble as a dog, and no matter how he laughed and scolded, he was accompanied by a smiling face, and he did not dare to resist at all.
As a result, after he voted for those short-haired thieves, his heroic spirit would never be inferior to the Qing Dynasty's Balutu. In the battle, he took a few swords in a row, and still killed a few Qing warriors without fear to come to the bottom, so that no one dared to approach the Qing army around him.
Compared with the Dzungaria, which the Qing Empire has still failed to pacify for decades, Zhang Jia. Ah Gui believed that the bandit army was the most powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty. And these Hui anti-thieves in front of them, not to mention compared with the bandit army, even the army of Dzungaria is not comparable, and they are full of scum with less than five combat effectiveness.
ZHANG Jia. Ah Gui really couldn't understand who gave them the courage to dare to come out and rebel.
"Maybe we're all wrong, there's really no need to use tricks against these back thieves. With their combat effectiveness, just kill them directly. "Looking at the battlefield of great victory, Zhang Jia. Ah Gui couldn't help but feel confident.
………
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, in mid-August
Beijing, Old Summer Palace.
The Old Summer Palace, a large royal garden of the Qing Dynasty.
Located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, it covers an area of more than 5,200 acres, with a construction area of 200,000 square meters, consisting of the Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden (Wanchun Garden), so it is also called the Three Gardens of Yuanming.
Because there are more than 150 scenes in the garden, it is beautiful, so it is also called "the garden of ten thousand gardens".
Yuanmingyuan was built in the 48th year of Kangxi, it was originally the garden given by Emperor Kangxi to the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen, and Kangxi inscribed the plaque "Yuanshu Garden" for it, because "Yuanshu" is the number of Yongzheng Law.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the Old Summer Palace was expanded, and the Zhengda Guangming Hall and the Qinzheng Hall were added in the south of the garden, as well as many duty rooms of the Cabinet, the Sixth Department and the Military Aircraft Department, and "avoiding noise and listening to politics" were carried out here in summer.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, in addition to the partial addition and renovation of the Old Summer Palace, the Changchun Garden was newly built in the east, and the Wanchun Garden was incorporated into the southeast neighborhood. At this point, the basic pattern of the Three Gardens of the Old Ming Dynasty was roughly formed.
The Qing Emperor came here every midsummer to escape the summer, listen to the government, and deal with military and political affairs, so it was also called the "summer palace".
Since the signing of the peace agreement with the bandit army, Qianlong has been in a good mood for the past few days, and even turning over the sign of the harem at night has become much more frequent.
And the reason why Qianlong was so relieved was because the good news came from the front line to pacify the war. Among them, especially in Gansu, good news continues.
Under the pressure of the Qing army's eastern and western armies, those "anti-thieves" in Gansu, who were originally arrogant, were defeated and retreated, and they could not form an army.
Although the massacre of the Qing army in the local area also attracted the desperate resistance of the "rebellious people" of the Hui department, under the stimulation of the acquiescence of the Qing court and the refusal to seal the knife, in the face of the Qing army that killed the red-eyed Qing army, the resistance of the "rebellious people" in the Hui department was insignificant, and it could not cause a storm at all.
Just as they killed the unarmed Han Chinese, the Qing army was just as merciless in their massacre.
Under the frantic massacre of the Qing army, many Hui soldiers gradually "woke up", and those Hui who did not have the courage to continue to participate in the "holy war" fled from the ranks of the Hui army and absconded.
However, in the face of the Qing army's dragnet search, most of the troops who thought they had escaped would be fine, and most of them would be searched out by the Qing army and continue to kill.
Under the massacre of the Qing army, Ma Yinglong's team, which was already almost unable to support it, was reunited. It's just that although these regrouped Hui troops caused some damage to the Qing soldiers, they still did not escape the fate of being defeated and killed again.
After going back and forth, those Hui people who had only participated in the "holy war" with opportunistic tricks could no longer support it, and fled the battlefield one after another. Silently chant from the heart and let Allah assure them that they will not be found by the Qing army.
Ma Yinglong, who was in a completely different mood from Qianlong, was troubled and restless at the moment.
He never dreamed that after several months, the ranks had grown from thousands to more than 100,000 people, and the Hui army, which occupied dozens of cities large and small, could be defeated so miserably.
