Chapter 512: Sneak Attack on Xitaogou
The Qing Army's forward battalion consisted of Huizi. The one who took the lead was the bridegroom, the official king, and the king.' Messy beard. Unkempt dress. Looks like a defeated army. Li Guolou's sneak attack battle. First of all, it is necessary to 'mix' through the blockade lines established by Zou Baohe, the sixteenth marshal of the Hui Army. A team carrying the banner of the word Chen. Blatantly retreated in the direction of Shishe Town in the rear.
A long procession marches on the high slopes of the loess. The guards of the Hui army's secret posts, rangers, and fortresses have long been seen. The message was immediately delivered to the rear. The battle in Yongyang Fucheng was unfavorable. The army of the fifth marshal Chen Lin is on the run. A procession marching in a fleeing manner. It must be your own people.
A returning ranger. Pat the horse to catch up. Nervously asked, "Brother. before it started. And you will retreat."
"Less fucking verbose. Chen Shuai was in a bad mood. Lao Tzu just wants to kill. Show me the way." Wang Huacheng's hideous face. It's like eating people.
"Let's go. How to be as verbose as a. Full of dogs twisting us in the back. The brothers suffered heavy casualties." Huizi around me. Also scolding. Waving a whip. I taught the returning army rangers who came to interrogate a lesson.
The returning army rangers want to see how the team is doing. All you can see is a group of cavalry around. They are all Muslims. There was no doubt in the first place. Who would have thought that the Qing army would be disguised. He waved his hand. Quite seriously and responsibly said: "Follow me. Three sentry posts ahead. They're all brothers in our squad. There is Zou Shuai's brigade in Xitaogou to respond. You can take a break."
"That's good. It's been such a long way. The war horse can't bear it." Wang Huacheng led the war horse. Marching on the high slopes of the loess. When going uphill, you need to dismount and walk. High slope in front of you. It is the weakness of the cavalry. I want to capture the town of Ten Societies. You must first take Xitaogou. It was a canyon sandwiched between two high loess slopes. Attack a ravine with cavalry. It's like a fantasy. Only Li Guolou is so bold. It's really a 'chicken' egg touching a stone.
Wang Huacheng had no choice but to risk his life. Execute military orders without hesitation. For the reunification of the Motherland. Make the Qing Dynasty stand again on the top of the East. These are the Hui people with national consciousness. Don't hesitate to fight back. Smash the dream of Ma Zheng and dictatorship. The more you argue, the clearer it becomes. The Hui people in the ranks of the Qing army. Accept the idea of great power. Abandon the idea of a single nationalism. in their minds. The Muslims who are fighting for independence are the enemy. It is incumbent upon you to kill all your enemies. There is no knot.
This kind of thinking. Who's right and who's wrong.
Who came to power . Whoever is right. Man cannot compete with the state apparatus. The probability of a successful rebellion is too low. On the path of the national independence movement. The vast majority of people became reactionary. Be the founding hero. There is little hope of becoming a national hero. The state power defines such people who are fighting for independence as reactionaries. But one nation considers these reactionaries to be the forerunners of the national movement. Tragic hero. A symbol of indomitability. Even for thousands of years to pay homage to them. A country and a nation can be combined into one. It can also be distinguished.
Different people. Different ethnicities. Requirements vary. Each has its own reasons. This doomed the national war to break out. Various peoples fight for their dignity.
The Manchus established the Qing Empire. Become a ruler from above. There are too many fluke factors. and because the killing is too heavy. Massacres of civilians in history. The founding of the country in the Qing Dynasty was the worst. More than a hundred years have passed. The human heart has not yet been attached; More than a dozen years of civil war. It also made the internal contradictions of the Qing Dynasty erupt like a volcanic eruption. Han, Miao, and Hui revolted one after another. The war has not yet subsided. The Western powers want to see this for as long as possible.
The Western powers were most afraid of the rise of the Qing Dynasty. Go back and settle the ledger with them. Therefore, there are a group of Han ministers with the idea of national unification. Firmly stand under the banner of the Yellow Dragon of the Qing Dynasty. Unwilling to pull the flag and rebel. On the contrary, he is loyal to the king and serves the country. Conquest in the Great Northwest. In the eyes of the Qing army. They are the ones who are right. The national interest is above all else. The Holocaust is the duty of a military man. As long as the enemy refuses to surrender. The Qing army will not lay down the weapons in their hands.
Armies have blood debts in their hands. Especially wars between peoples. It's even more miserable. But history is written by the victors. So the ugliness of the army was covered up. The Qing Dynasty was a regime established by the Manchus. The imperial history of the Han people dared to write straight. Record the brutality of the Manchu army. The massacre of civilians is disgraceful. The brutality of the Qing army was outrageous.
Surprise raid for the sake of secrecy. The villages passed along the way were left with no chickens and dogs. The cavalry of the Qing army swept all the way and maintained an efficient marching speed.
The commander of the Qing army, Huang Ding, took the Huizi (Yugur) led by Wang Huacheng as the vanguard. There were three battalions of cavalry. More than 800 people. Three battalions of the surrendering Han army followed. Li Guolou patted the horse and galloped. From the seat of the Chinese army. Rush to the ranks of the Han army. He used his kindness to influence the ranks of the Second Rising Elders. A loyal and righteous member of the Brotherhood. I like to recognize my big brother in my bones. Willing to die for the Lord's righteousness. Li Guolou was originally a man in the underworld. How to subdue these two-faced capitulationists. I have a deep understanding.
Hu Dagui saw Li Guolou coming with a team of Goshha. Quite impressed. Said hurriedly: "Chief Li. It's too dangerous here. There will be a war at any time. You'd better stay in the middle of the army."
Li Guolou whipped up. And walk on the wheel. He said, "Hu Yingguan. We're like sandwiches right now. Enemies in front and behind. You don't have to worry about me."
"Yes. Chief Li really expects things to be like a god. The Hui army did not expect our army to come to this hand." Hu Dagui bowed and clasped his fists and saluted. Show absolute respect to Li Guolou. Admire Li Guolou's thoughtfulness. Hurried all the way. Really 'deceived' the Hui army rangers. A small number of Hui army rangers along the way. They were all killed by the Qing army.
Li Guolou did not move. The 'color' of the god does not change. It's not time to celebrate the victory. A marching army in the wilderness. It's like a pack of wild wolves. A wild wolf without prey cannot stop. The prey is right in front of you. Tear up the food to survive in the wild world.
The Hui army in the ranks of the Qing army was even more ferocious than the Han army. Shicai also talked and laughed with the five returning army rangers. In a split second. Captain Ma Suzhen pulled out the revolver on his waist. The first shot was fired. The Qing army next to him raised his gun and 'shot' it. A volley of guns knocked down five Hui rangers who were leading the way.
Ma Suzhen's team is used to firing cold shots. against the dead bodies on the ground. A few more shots were also made. Killing people is like playing. All of them look like they are not afraid of heaven and earth. In Ma Suzhen's mind. One of his men. It is a lonely hero who goes deep into the tiger's 'den'. The liberation of the Great Northwest depends on these Hui people.
These horses are war horses. At first glance, I didn't panic when I heard the gunshots. Still moving forward at the same pace. It was soon captured by the Hui Army. The reins of the five war horses were tied to the saddle of the Qing army. Be a trophy.
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield very clean. Not even a pair of leather boots. The Qing army took whatever it needed. Five naked bodies were thrown in the grass.
In order to hurry. The Qing army did not rest all the way. Hurry up and hurry to the west of Taogou. Fighters of the Forward Battalion. One man and two horses. Don't die, go straight to the first line of defense of the army. Over the hills. Wade through rivers. In the early evening. Not far from Xitaogou.
The forward unit of the Qing army. Habitual 'sex' to stop and rest. Feed the horse water. I want to raise full horsepower. Get ready for battle. Li Guolou rushed to the forefront. He scolded angrily: "Donkey balls. WANG Huacheng. What about people. Who told you to stop? I went to the 'door' of my house. There is no such thing as stopping and resting. Call Wang Huacheng for me."
Wang Huacheng rushed over. was scolded by Li Guolou for a few words. Immediately understood. Hurriedly organize the team. Led more than 800 fake Hui troops. Grin and go straight to the Xitaogou defense line. At this time, everyone is playing a small drum in their hearts. If it is detected by the Hui army. They march like this. It's a live target. Will eat guns at any time.
The advance party was already standing outside the fortifications. Wait to enter Xitaogou. Ma Suzhen first talked to the Hui army guards. What do armies rely on to identify each other? It is by the official seal. Officials at all levels of the Hui army also have official seals. The Qing army had already obtained the style of the seal of the official seal of the five marshals Chen Lin. It's not hard to counterfeit a stamp. An edict modeled after the five marshals Chen Lin. Handed it to the Hui guards.
Fonts and seals can't distinguish between authenticity and fakeness. It's true. The returning army guards will not be relieved. "Little brother. Chen Shuai."
Ma Suzhen said casually: "The two marshals are pressing the formation behind. Can't make it tonight. Is it old Sue. Don't know me anymore. We worked together once two years ago when we were making food. You also gave me a kettle."
It is precisely because Ma Suzhen knows Su Laoxiu, the guard of Xitaogou. That's why he became a trailblazer. Familiarity is also an advantage. The Qing army had many resources. War kicks off the machine. will operate flexibly. It is not subject to the will of the supreme governor. The commander gave an order. The men will show their powers. Put the strategic idea. Evolve into actionable actions.
General Su's eyebrows furrowed slightly. I suddenly remembered. He smiled and said, "Oh. It's you. Little Pony. I thought you were glorious. I'm not dead."
"I'm a turtle. This time I narrowly escaped death." Ma Suzhen follows an old friend. Let's walk into Xitaogou together. A large number of Qing troops followed. Leading the horse and following behind two old friends who were laughing.
Thoughts change with the environment. Anyway, the Hui army was enlightened, turned the muzzle of the gun and hit his compatriots. Ma Suzhen only thought about whether to spare her old friend. With a smile: "General Su. How many of you have here?"
"Oh. The regular army has a battalion. But after my brother's efforts. It has been expanded into two battalions." General Su looked at his subordinates very proudly. Although the musket was insufficient. But there are also bows, broadswords, and spears. Equipped neatly. It is completely possible to fight with the Qing army.
"General Su is amazing. Hurry up and I'll support you with twenty guns. Ten horses will be left for you. How about being friends?" Ma Suzhen is very generous. Figured it out. Don't take prisoners. Or is it useful for loot . Turn around and look at the team behind you. More and more Qing troops entered the fortress. The cavalry turned over and got on their horses. Under the leadership of their respective captains. Rush into the distance.
General Su suspiciously pointed to the cavalry team talking to himself. Asked, "Brother Pony. What are they doing? Rampage."
Ma Suzhen's face. With a wry smile. sighed: "Su Jianjun. I don't know. It should be Chen Shuai's military order. Let them go straight to the town of Ten Societies. You don't bother with them. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Tell me how you've been 'messing around' for the past two years."
The two walked side by side. It's like a brother I haven't seen in years. Towards the command post.
There were countless disguised Qing soldiers passing by. The guard Su Laoxiu watched a large number of horse teams pass in front of him. Guessing the intentions of the two handsomes. Grunt: "Why don't the two handsome men rest for a night. The Qing army wanted to encircle Xitaogou. It's not an easy task."
Ma Suzhen was laughing in her stomach. Now the Hui army in Xitaogou is already a fish 'meat' on the board, and they are about to start sneak attacks and killings. Can't hold it back. Haha smiled and said, "General Su. Don't bother with the people above. What's the matter with them. Which will tell us. Let's have a good chat. I've married a few ladies."
"Hey, hey. I'm at this level. You can only marry two. How dare you disobey military orders?" Su Laoxiu thought about the benefits of turning over and being the master. The landlord's 'daughter' has been married to the 'door'.
The voice just fell. Gunshots rang out from the walls of the fort. General Su's face changed in vain. Thought of the Qing army raid.
Ma Suzhen took out his revolver. Aimed at Su Laoxiu's stomach. Pull the trigger. A string of bullets 'fired' into Su Laoxiu's body. Ma Suzhen still sighed with a smile: "I'm sorry brother. This meal. Drink again in the next life. Wife. I'll watch for you. The cubs are sold to the servants. I won't wronged them."
Blood flowed from Su Laoxiu's mouth. I want to tell "Little Pony" that he doesn't have any children yet. Disappointed Little Pony. There was a playful expression on his face. Slowly falling.
The Qing army quickly launched a sneak attack on Xitaogou. Gunshots erupted. There are Qing troops in every corner. A team of horses galloping down the streets. Slash and slash the fleeing Hui with a sword. There are constantly grenades flying sideways in the compound. The roar is endless. The Hui troops in the stockade are hiding everywhere. Most of the Hui troops surrendered. Guns, bows and arrows were thrown.
The Hui army at the head of the fort wall was quickly cleared. Several 'guns' of Furlong were captured by the Qing army intact. Huang Ding personally led 800 Qing troops to sit in Xitaogou. The Qing army will rely on the natural danger of Xitaogou. Block the way for the fifth marshal Chen Lin and the seventh marshal Feng Junfu to escape.
Sunset at dusk. The glow remains in the blood-colored sky. On the head of the fortress wall. Huang Ding looked at the blush reluctantly. Smugly stroked the beard of the upper lip. Perfect plan. Half the battle. Next, let's look at Li Guolou's performance. I hope Emperor Guan blesses. Let the iron hooves of the Qing army set foot on the land of Shishe Town.
