Night is coming. Dong Zhi County is exhausted. It's like a sick patient. Already terminally ill. But the smell of gunpowder smoke lingers in the air. Tell the living. The battle isn't over yet. Death will favor every soldier on the battlefield at any time.

The Qing army, which changed its defense, was better than nothing, picking up a stone. Add an extra brick to a protective wall. A hundred meters from the fortifications of the Qing army. The Hui army is doing the same thing. A simple fortification. Most likely, the graves of two unknown warriors . But none of them wanted to die at this moment. Instead, I want to live through the night. Add one more brick. It's an extra insurance.

The powerful offensive of the Qing army smashed the city defenses of Dongzhi County to pieces. The Hui army only relied on the will to struggle to support. Pointless stubbornness to the end. Die-hard hards who don't repent. It is the last impression left by Dong Zhiyuan's return to the army to Li Guolou.

People of a country. Is there so much hatred. For thousands of years. Ethnic divisions and mergers have long been accustomed to it. Grievances between peoples. Don't uncover it lightly. Follow the 'tide' flow. Return to the Great Qing Dynasty. Become the savior of the nation. Let a nation continue.

Those who hold the 'jade' stone are determined to burn. Fight to the moment of death to return to the army. Fighters fighting for national independence. It will only destroy a city. Let a people suffer more.

When it is time for a person to bow his head, he should bow his head. Bend your knees in submission to a foreign race. It's the way to survive. Learn the philosophy of the Han people. Stealing a living. Smile. Bite the bullet. Fight back. Groundbreaking. There is such a way to go. Why choose only one dead end?

Li Guolou leaves the dilapidated house. Come to the yard. Look up at the bright moon rising in the sky. Sighing slightly, he said, "Hey. The moon is out. Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night. Commander-in-Chief Guo. Our army withstood tonight. Tomorrow, Ma Zhenghe's head will be sent by someone."

"Phew." Guo Baochang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm viciously. He scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't want a head. Ma Zhenghe can escape? If you can't escape. Whoever sent the head didn't take much credit. Leave a cheap life. When a dog calls."

"yes. Surrender is of little use at this time. This capitulation faction that takes the head of the lord. It can only be counted as a dog. Seeing it like this, Cui Wei is a handsome man who knows current affairs. The name of Baturu is not covered. Now that I think about it, I should talk to Cui Wei more. Learn more about his thoughts." Li Guolou remembered the leaders of the Hui uprising who surrendered in Taichang Town. On that group of heroes. It can be seen at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. The shadow of the capitulation faction of the Great Qing Dynasty.

"Be brave and count the balls. Our army is braver than the Hui army. Cavalry one-on-one duel. The Hui army can't defeat our army. This kind of enemy who fights with the attitude of burning the 'jade' stone. It's a slut. The cheapest slut in the world. If you can't beat it, you're still a scoundrel. Thought I would be afraid of them. Lao Tzu has capital. You can play 'Jade' Stone Burning. Let's see who suffers." Guo Baochang couldn't help but run out of the room. Also come to see the luster of the moon. The moon and stars can only be used to fight at night. He glanced at it. I knew that tonight's 'hand-to-hand' combat was going to be fierce.

"Send me grenades to the forward positions . If there are no grenades in any position. The quartermaster gave me a front. Lao Tzu told them to play with the big knife." Guo Baochang roared exhaustedly. It was louder than the sound of a bomb.

A rumbling roar rang out. That's a piece of grenade exploding. The county seat of Dong Zhi was surrounded by the sound of explosions. The city is shrouded in night. Engage in a bloody 'hand-to-hand' fight.

A mortar cannon is aimed at the Hui troops rushing through the street. Boom. A shotgun spanning thirty meters. Sweep everything down the street. The black pressed Hui army fell to the ground in pain. The wails were terrible.

Similarly, the Hui army also pushed out a mortar from the darkness. Slowly move towards the Qing position. The terrifying thick muzzle. Let everyone who sees it have a pale face. The Qing army lying on the masonry did not forget to throw the last grenade.

Rumble.

Sixty meters away, the mortar 'fires' shots. Thousands of nails and shrapnel flew from the shotgun. Shrapnel can also 'shoot' and cause injuries at unexpected angles. The Qing army lying on the ground could only ask for the favor of the heavens.

"Kill it. Kill it quickly, artillerymen." The Qing army pinned its hopes on howitzers and copper cannons. The power of one 'door' mortar cannon of the Hui army was even more terrifying than that of fifty charging Hui troops.

At night artillery wanted to hit a target sixty or seventy meters away. It's too difficult for artillery. The Qing army could only throw incendiary bombs one by one in front. With a hint of fire. Point the way for the artillery.

Rumble. Rumble.

The bronze cannons of the Qing army were closer to the target. With the faint light of fire, he fired at the mortar cannon of the Hui army. Just blow up the gunner. A 'door' cannon is useless. It would be perfect if the mortar was blown up.

Artillery battle in the streets. Behind a fortification. There is only one 'door' or two 'door' cannons. You can't bomb it wildly. Therefore, it is necessary to be 'fine' and strike well. However, the 'color' of the night makes it impossible for the observer to report the exact coordinates. Qing artillery fired two shots. He dragged the cannon and ran backwards. The artillery of the Qing army is the treasure bump of the army. Would love to lose a few streets. Nor can the artillery be killed in a senseless night battle. Therefore, the artillery of the Qing army did not play an effective role in the night battle. Just wielding power in the distance. Bomb fixed coordinates. The improvised fortifications were occupied by the Hui army. The Hui army in the night 'color' is crazy. They have explosives bags strapped to them. Charge towards the Qing position.' Messy' stone bricks. The warriors of the Hui Army pulled the explosive 'medicine' bag. There is a constant sound of explosives exploding. Ma Zhenghe has a large number of supporters. These people are willing to die for the great commander. Fight your way with your life.

The Qing army in order to deal with these Hui army daredevils. Stretch the line of defense very long. Every fortification is a team. Up to twenty or thirty people. And don't dare to gather together. Drag the front very long. Threw a couple of grenades. And he retreated. There are more than a dozen improvised fortifications in a single street. The Qing army was defeated and retreated. An improvised fortification was lost. A few corpses will be thrown down. The retreating Qing army formed another defensive line fifty meters apart. After two rounds of platoon guns. The Qing army retreated another twenty meters. Kraft candy tactics wear down the fighting spirit of the returning army.

The night is the world of returning to the army. The daredevils launched round after round of offensives. Reclaim alleyways. The Eagle Banner marches forward. Greet the dawn with one victory after another.

But the Qing army was undeterred. The fighting spirit is undiminished. Kraft candy tactics wear down the spirit of the returning army. As long as they are not driven out of the city by the Hui army at night. During the day, the county seat of Dongzhi is still the world of the Qing army.

Guo Baochang and Li Guolou stayed awake all night. They did not retreat outside the city. Still in good spirits. Look at the map with yellow flags. So many points of Dongzhi County were still controlled by the Qing army. Victory will come soon.

In the morning light. A loud bugle sounded. After holding it all night, the Qing army began to counterattack. The artillery position was the first to fire at Gong Liu Dian. Hundreds of shells destroyed a thousand-year-old building. One of the Hui Army's hiding points was cleared at a fixed point. More than 300 Hui soldiers were buried in the ruins of the Gongliu Palace. The Hui people hiding in the palace of Gongliu to escape the war. It was even more devastating······

I heard the thunderous sound of cannons. Li Guolou was overjoyed by the 'color' and said with a smile: "Commander Guo. I expect that Liu Dian, the Duke of Ding, is Ma Zheng and the Grain Department. It is quite possible that the wounded were also there . This time, Ma Zhenghe lost a lot."

Guo Baochang looked at the smoke billowing in the distance. The mood suddenly jumped from the trough to the clouds. God help me. Approvingly: "Hmm. Chief Li has a unique vision. Gong Liu Dian really hides the dragon and crouching tiger. The fire is so big. However, Zuo Dashuai will be harsh on me in the future. I've suffered for others."

"What are these words? You are the commander-in-chief. You are the one who gives the order. Today I bet with you. Take Ma Zhenghe's head as a bet. If you lose, I'll give you two thousand taels of silver. If you lose, give me the golden saddle. What do you think. A saddle is not worth a thousand taels. Take advantage of you." Li Guolou received a whip from Guo Baochang. Not yet satisfied. I also fancy Guo Baochang's golden saddle. It is expected that the Hui army led by Ma Zhenghe will definitely have 'chaos' today.' The Hui army who forced 'into a desperate situation' in the Qing army "surrendered the gun and did not kill. Don't worry about coercion." Inspired by the calling. will turn against its master.

"Hmph. What's the point of making this kind of bet. Ma Zhenghe is a dead snake. It's not a flying dragon. Does it make sense to live one or two more days. In the future, when our army fights Jinjibao Ma Hualong, we will bet again. I'll make a big bet with you. Bet at least 100,000 taels of silver." Guo Baochang has a big tone. It's so big that my heart is empty. He won't bet with Li Guolou. Li Guolou works in calculations. Although he said that his brain is good. But it's a cut below Li Guolou. People must be self-aware. Guo Baochang is ashamed of himself. A few words of bragging. But he didn't dare to take it. Lost the guts. Don't lose ambition.

"It's a pity that my good horse doesn't have a good saddle." Li Guolou sighed. The dealer throws bricks to lead the 'jade' and is willing to give a rich color. It's a pity that gamblers are not fooled. Let him cry out in vain. Guo Baochang is very cunning. This time, I will definitely be able to become a registered commander-in-chief. Reward the official title first. He's still young. I will always take office in the future.

Li Guolou re-looking at the map. Last night, they were pulling down the yellow flags symbolizing the occupation of the Qing army. More yellow flags will be planted on the map today. Look at the map. Laughing: "I suddenly found out. Fighting a war is like a Westerner's checkers. The commander can fight just by looking at the chessboard."

"You. Don't think about playing. Think about moving the command post forward. Show me. Where will the artillery 'fire' intensively." Guo Baochang taps the map with his index finger. Let Li Guolou not get carried away. Come to the front to fight. It is necessary to do a good job as a counselor.

"Yes. I'll read the military newspaper right away." Li Guolou took over a stack of front-line military newspapers from Goshha. To find out valuable information from it. Determine where Ma Zhenghe's lair is.

In the makeshift command post. Everyone is busy. The war is going on all around them. Although invisible. But the sound of gunfire is incessant. These officers are accustomed to the sound of gunfire. Even if a shell falls into the yard . None of them were moved. The dust from the shaking on the beams of the house fell into the bowl. It was as if he had not seen it. It tastes sweet as it is.

The Qing army was also afraid that the commander of the command post would die honorably. So the senior commanders who are on the battlefield in person do not gather together. This time the battle of Dongzhi County was commanded by Guo Baochang. The other senior commanders will not enter the city. Li Guolou went to the front line in order to learn to fight. Let the Qing generals admire. Although he belittles Li Guolou on the lips. But in action, they are all 'friendly' with him. Li Guolou learns to fight on the battlefield. Quite profitable. Learning to experience that is not in books. It also made him firm in the way he wanted to go in the future.

Interpreting the deep meaning of the ruthlessness of military law. Understand the unspoken rules of the army. Accustomed to the comrades-in-arms around them turned into a corpse. Calculating how many Qing soldiers died in a battle is a good deal. Li Guolou has become more selfish and more ruthless. With the eyes of a warlord. Look at each of your subordinates. War can be measured with a ruler. In his eyes, human life is just a number in a book.

The sacrifice of his comrades. Turn people into murderous thugs. and the pile-up of corpses behind a combat hero. In the end is an inspiring victory. That's what the world calls war.

The powerful Qing army launched a counterattack. Regain last night's lost ground. The Qing army, which endured a belly full of anger, was ravaged by artillery. Destroy the positions of the Hui army.

The roar of the cannons. Boost the morale of the Qing army. One by one, the snow-capped lion flags were re-planted on the ruins. Modern warfare. It is infantry and artillery working together. The streets of Dongzhi County, surrounded by the Qing army's iron buckets. It became a battlefield for the Qing army to learn infantry and artillery to work together. Every street is up for grabs. From slow movements. to a fast rush. It took only two days for the Qing army to learn to brave artillery fire. With very few casualties. Win street battles.

The commander is learning to fight. Humble warriors also grow up quickly in battle. A street fight between a dozen people. There is also a clear fit. Covering each other in a small area and breaking through became the tactics of the Qing army. The bugle is a weapon that echoes between the armies. It also made it rare for the Qing army to beat its own people.

The ruins are full of mutilated corpses of the Hui army. The Qing army marched on the corpses of the enemy. Flags converge into the ocean. The proud lion. Overlooking the county seat of Dongzhi. Trample the Hui army under your feet.
