Chapter 478: The Defeated Hui Army

“, ”

The dull sound of the trombone did not stop, and the military flag of the Hui army appeared in the dark and dreary night, followed by the neatly arranged cavalry under the military flag. The main general Halianhu came, and the sound of the hooves of nearly a thousand war horses shook the earth, and the cavalry breathed heavily, and the expressions of leaping 'wanting' to try.

Under the military banner, Halianhu reined in his mount and saw the scene of bloody battles on the hills, and also saw the military flags of Li Ziying standing tall.

The brave and fearless Hui soldiers braved the artillery fire to advance, and the warriors without mounts raised their scimitars and slaughtered towards the loess slope. The war of hand-to-hand combat has always been a game for the brave, looking at the dense soldiers to kill the loess slope, Halian Tiger is full of confidence, the bullet is a bear, and the knife is the hero.

"Fourth brother, let me rush." The fifth old man next to him, Ha Lian Long, urged the horse to come to the military flag, interrupting Ha Lian Hu's thoughts, and a young man was full of desire to kill.

"Don't worry, take a look first, there is time, and your credit is indispensable." Ha Lianhu has always had experience in this kind of battle, the Qing officers and soldiers did not have the protection of the city wall, and there was no artillery suppression, as long as they were close to the 'hand-to-hand' combat, the Hui soldiers were one to four Qing soldiers, and he won tonight.

The Hui soldiers all over the mountains and fields held high the red flag and rushed to the loess slope, and the Qing officers and soldiers in front of them were so delicate and unaged, which was the opponent of a hundred battles and strong soldiers.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In front of him, a 'door' and 'door' mortar cannon was 'exposed', and the muzzle of the cannon was pushed down to the forward position, and the thick muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the Hui troops who poured up the soil slope, hissing white smoke, a roar, and a shotgun erupted from the barrel, like a Lang 'flower', surging on the surface of the sea.

"Ahhhh There were miserable screams in front of the position, and the first group of returning troops who climbed the dirt slope were beaten into a sieve by iron nails and iron sand, and kept rolling on the ground.

With a boom, another 'door' mortar cannon emitted white smoke and let out a shocking roar. In front of the position, one 'gate' gun after another 'gate' was launched, and one cannon was fired and then disappeared in front of the formation.

The mortar itself is light, the heavy mortar is more than 200 catties, and the light mortar is less than 100 catties, and two gunners can push it. Because the mortar cannon has a short range and a short barrel, the barrel is not easy to explode, so the rate of fire is very fast, and the loading of shotgun shells is fast, and some mortar guns with thick barrels can even be loaded with two or three shotguns at a time, which has huge lethality and no one can dodge. The front of the loess slope has turned into a terrifying artillery battle, and a "door" and "door" mortar artillery constantly appears, shelling towards the dense Hui army. The gunners fought separately, and wherever there was danger, there were gunners pushing mortars to the forward positions and firing at the returning troops.

The man who carried the shells behind the gunner followed behind the gunner with a basket of shells, and the people carried the shells to the front line in the rain of bullets regardless of the danger.

Li Guolou just stood in the camp, quietly looking at the people running around him, this is the power of the people's war, the people who are desperate for themselves, all for a sacred country, the Chinese nation with blood and courage to defend the territorial integrity of the country.

The territory is not allowed to be divided, no one is allowed to fight for independence, and the insurgents are reactionaries.

For the sake of independence, the Hui army dragged a nation into the abyss, made a country weak, and committed one massacre after another. If you want to be independent, you have to bear the wrath of thunder, artillery is the best answer to those who think they are brave and fearless, tremble the earth, let the god of death reason with the 'chaos' army, kill all the 'chaos' army with swords and guns, and kill the people who refuse to submit, until he surrenders.

"Fire" incendiary bombs!" Xun Xi shouted, happily dancing, Li Ziying cannons roared, dozens of large and small fireballs roared, 'chaotic' rolling and 'chaotic' jumping, illuminating the dirt slope, the Hui army was always in a panic 'chaos', suddenly their bodies were 'exposed' in broad daylight, and all sides were illuminated by fireballs.

The shells were whistling, there was a terrible howl everywhere, more than a dozen ten-pound shells roared in, and with the bright light of the fireball, the bullets on the dirt slope were like popcorn 'flowers' to the Hui army, and countless bullets came one after another. A group of Hui soldiers scurried like headless flies, with nowhere to hide. The horses became huge targets, and were turned into hornet's nests by bullets.

The surviving Hui army lay on the ground, 'shooting' at the hillside, and doing a Jedi counterattack. With so many dead bodies and dead horses that can be used as a cover, 'hand-to-hand' combat is cruel and ruthless.

"Dididi! Drip, drip! The sound of a military horn sounded on the dirt slope, and the sound was like a reminder, and the soldiers of the Li Zi battalion threw countless grenades down the dirt slope.

The roar came and went, and the huge grenades continued to explode, blowing apart the Hui troops hiding behind the shelter.

Mass of flesh and blood exploded one after another, and arms flew in the air.

A cavalryman of the Hui army looked at his empty right arm in disbelief, and the miserable white broken bones were so dazzling. Looking at the remaining flesh and blood on it, spurting blood. Suddenly, he let out a terrible cry.

The lower half of the body of a Hui soldier was gone, and a large amount of disgusting intestines flowed out. A long column dragged in the back. I don't know what force sustained him to crawl on the ground, but it was indescribably painful. The veins on his forehead flared up, and he glared, trying to turn in one direction, and there was a lotus sound in his mouth.

A Hui soldier was blown up to the point that his face was blurred with blood and 'flesh', and he still climbed up the dirt slope with his sword held high, unable to see anything clearly, waving his war knife indiscriminately, and none of the Qing soldiers shot at him, as if they were pitying him, and bursts of laughter came out from the position.

"Yang Dawazi, you are still smart, I shouldn't make my own decisions." Bai Chang Tie Dan beat his horse and fled backwards, hundreds of charging horse teams, no one came back alive, he fled back with his personal guards, afraid that Li Ziying had some kind of sharp weapons, which would wipe out their team of men and horses.

The offensive on the east side of the loess slope suddenly stopped, leaving only the loess slopes in the north and west, the Hui soldiers killed one after another, the sound of the trombone did not stop, and the fierce Hui cavalry rushed up the loess slope full of corpses.

In a short period of time, the artillery of Li Ziying's battalion made Khalenkin go from full of confidence to dull eyes and no confidence. The first 'wave' offensive used more than 3,000 soldiers and horses for the Hui army, and before the 'hand-to-hand' battle began, they fell to their deaths on the dirt slope, and the dirt slope that could be leveled by relying on war horses turned out to be the death place of the Hui army.

"Li Ziying's grenade, how can it be thrown so far." Khalenkin really couldn't understand that the Hui cavalry was carrying huge grenades, but they had not yet detonated in the enemy's position, and the enemy's small grenades had already been thrown into the Hui army's horse team.

Look ahead, there is a scene of wolves rushing forward, dense shells whistling by, war horses wailing 'chaos', Li Ziying artillery battalion company artillery battalion caused heavy panic and casualties, until now the artillery is still roaring, causing casualties of the cavalry of the Hui army after a wave of casualties.

Suddenly, a huge fireball landed not far from Halenjin, instantly illuminating the banner of Ha characters.

"General go quickly, the enemy is going to open fire." The captain of the pro-soldier suddenly came to his senses and swung his whip on the buttocks of Khalenkin's horse.

The artillery of the Li Zi Battalion relied on the bright light of the incendiary bombs to search for the enemy hiding in the dark, and the Hazi flag was the best target. ”

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

More than a dozen 'door' grenades roared angrily, firing at the vicinity of the Hazi banner, and the shells flew sideways and exploded in the camp of the Hui army.

The tall and mighty flag officer of the Hui army still held the Hazi flag tightly when he was dying and did not let the flag fall, but the Hazi banner was burned by the sparks of the explosives, and the Hazi flag made of silk burned in the air, indicating that the first 'wave' attack of the Hui army was beaten by the Li Zi battalion.

The sound of the loess slope cannon was deafening, the sharp whistling sounded, and in the air, there was another round of cannons 'firing', roaring and roaring, and the surrounding area of the Hazi banner became a dead land.

Rumble!

The old five on the run, Harenlong, was hit by shrunk from a cannonball, and he died not when he was charging, but when he was fleeing shamefully.

With a loud bang, it turned out to be a forty-pound cannonball, which smashed right next to Ha Lianlong, and in an instant, Ha Lianlong's bones were gone, turning into 'meat' pieces.

Rumble!

The shells of the Li Zi battalion still exploded above the heads of the fleeing Hui troops, as if they knew they were fleeing.

Li Guolou was pleasantly surprised to see that the Hui army was cut by the grass, and before the brutal 'hand-to-hand' combat began, the Hui cavalry was beaten back into the night.

"Charge north! Trumpeter, charge north! Battle gave me the lead of the Lee-Wing Battalion Horse Team to charge me. Li Guolou burst out with great pride, hung out all the old bottoms, and killed his mother without leaving a piece of armor.

"Tick tick tick! Tick Tick! ”

A row of military trumpets sounded together, and on the loess slope, the three hundred cavalry of the Li Zi battalion swooped down from the dirt slope, "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

The cavalrymen wielding the spears, Battle did not hesitate to kill the Hui cavalry in the north, and three hundred cavalry rushed out to kill the enemy.

To the north of the slope are the 500 'elite' soldiers of Zou Baohe's 16th battalion and the 800 'elite' soldiers personally led by Erhezhou, but at this time their more than 1,000 cavalry had already been disabled, and the 500 'elite' soldiers of the 16th battalion and the general Ma Shouda were also killed.

Erhezhou was originally pressing the formation, and when he saw the fireballs burning everywhere, he was so frightened that he didn't even do it, and took the personal guard battalion to take the lead out of the battlefield, at least 10,000 meters away. There is no faith, and the heart is angry, how can the cavalry fight with the artillery? The Li Zi Battalion is an artillery battalion with hundreds of 'guns', and a salvo 'shot' will cost hundreds of soldiers' 'lives'. And his rear team as a response has suffered heavy casualties, Yang Dawazi in the east and Ha Lianhu in the north, and now the situation is worse than him.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, Erhezhou's figure was astringent, and he turned his head to look at the dim loess gang, and the Li Ziying actually dispatched cavalry to chase and kill the Hui army behind him.

"General Erhe, should we fight the enemy again?" A Bai Chang next to him asked unwillingly.

Erhezhou hesitated a little, and made up his mind to say: "Forget it, we can't change the outcome of the defeat, if the enemy drags the artillery down the loess gang, we won't be able to go back, blow the trumpet and go home, and don't fight with the Li Ziying." ”

Erhe Prefecture knows very well that if the horse war can't be fought at night, a 'crossed' horse team will disappear without a trace, and it is better to return to Dong Zhiyuan safely. The cavalry of the Li Zi battalion only cleaned the battlefield around the loess hill, and would not chase after them.

Erhezhou is still very confident in leading the remnants of the defeated army back to Dong Zhiyuan, the geography of the Qing officers and soldiers is not familiar with them, and they do not dare to pursue the Hui army at night, and said very firmly: "Herald, immediately contact General Ha, say that our army has withdrawn first, let him move closer to our army." ”

Before the herald had gone far, a large group of cavalry of the Hui army swarmed over and said hurriedly: "General Erhe, the big thing is not good, Ha Lianlong was killed, and General Ha Lianhu was attacked by Yang Dawazi, and even his head was cut off." Yang Dawazi has defected to the enemy, and we can't catch up with that group of traitors. ”

A group of big men, wow wow wow cry bitterly, the whole army is shaken, the lord will have his own head cut off, this morale fell to the bottom. Erhezhou was dumbfounded in surprise, and said helplessly: "Han people are not good things, they should all be killed!" ”

"General Erhe said cautiously, General An Jie was seriously injured and was restrained, and the fourteenth marshal Lan Mingtai understood the righteousness, don't disturb the morale of the army when you go back. Yang Dawazi was originally an officer and soldier of the Qing Dynasty, and it is necessary to distinguish them. Xiao Jin, the deputy general next to him, said in a low voice, at this time, every move is related to the heart of the army, and people with ill intentions cannot be allowed to plot misdeeds.

Erhezhou's heart moved, and he had a strange thought, others can surrender, why can't he? It seems that I will go back and listen to the tone of the fourth handsome Cui Wei, take precautions, maybe I will cooperate with Yang Dawazi in the future, I heard the people next to him scolding Yang Dawazi for his shameless behavior, but he was silent, and sighed: "The time is not right, I will definitely avenge this revenge, and now I order, the whole army retreats." Vice General Xiao, you will lead the Chinese army to suppress the formation, and I will be the queen of your palace."

The remnants of the Hui cavalry, there are still more than 3,000 people, but they have long been bold, a large army has lost 30%, which is already a big defeat, and their losses are more than 40%, which can be said to be a rout. Three spies who reported the news of Li Ziying's camp were cut throats by the Hui soldiers and thrown on the desert yellow earth.

A noisy flock of vultures stood on the corpse early to welcome the dawn.

The coyote also came to chase away the shameless vultures, "Quack, quack! "In the vast wilderness, animals are also fighting for survival.
